Monday morning Tipton County veterans marched in a parade in their honor. For more photos from the event, see page B3. Photo by Echo Day.

Veterans honoredLEADER STAFF [email protected]

Tipton County kicked off its week honoring the brave men and women who've sacrificed their lives for our freedoms.

The annual Veteran's Day parade took place on the square and several local schools hosted programs in honor of Tipton County veterans.

TAPs at Crestview MiddleThe military bugle call "TAPs" is

known to evoke strong emotion, and the student body at Crestview learned the origins of the piece during their Veteran's Day event.

Used to signify "lights out," "TAPs" is also used at military funerals and was first played in this context in July 1862.

In addition to this lesson, the Coving-ton band played and the school choir sang several patriotic songs.

Weathers III speaks at Austin PeayThe gym at Austin Peay Elementary

was packed on Monday as students and faculty put their most patriotic foot forward for the school’s Veteran’s Day in honor of the men and women serv-ing in the military in defense of their country.

The program featured various trib-utes to all branches of the armed forces and the capacities in which they served. Faculty members gave performances of the national anthem and several other songs, and veterans were asked to stand in a time of recognition.

Student talent was also showcased throughout the event. Regan Rider, an Austin Peay 5th grader, read aloud her writing assessment essay, “What Vet-

eran’s Day Means to Me.” The Brighton Middle School 7th and 8th grade band performed the “Armed Forces March,” and music director Kim Colborn led the AES Patriot Chorus in the “Armed Forces Salute,” an energetic medley blending the theme song of each armed forces branch.

The school provided the commu-nity with a special treat by inviting Luke Weathers III to attend as a guest speaker for the event. Weathers is the son of the late Tuskegee Airman Lt. Col. Luke J. Weathers Jr., whose story as a World War II aviator was told in the recent film “Red Tails.” Weathers spoke about his father’s life and legacy as an Air Force hero in an inspiring and mov-ing conclusion to the event.

Newly elected District 81 Representative, Debra Moody, performed her fi rst offi cial duty in her new role. On Sunday, Nov. 11, Debra Moody attended and spoke at the Boy Scout Troop 60 Veteran's Day fl ag retirement ceremony. The event was held at Atoka's Nancy Lane Park, where Scouting was well represented by Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, and Boy Scouts. Also in attendance were Atoka's Mayor Walker, Town Administrator Brian Koral, American Legion representative Brian Styer, and Atoka residents. Photo courtesy Dee Lavery

County gets update on library projectBy JEFF [email protected]

Tipton County commission-ers received an update Monday night concerning expansion at the Dyersburg State Community College Jimmy Naifeh Center site.

Dr. Karen Boywer, DSCC president, said construction is expected to get underway in the spring on the learning resource center and library, a $13.8 million project.

Boywer said sealed bids on the project will be opened next month. The bid target is $12.055 million.

The 54,000-square-foot project will include a county library open to all residents, plus a student center that will include recreational and learning facili-ties for students.

Tipton County Executive Jeff Huffman pointed out that more accessibility for computers will be very important.

“More and more companies require that you apply on line,” Huffman said. “I think there are only about 15 or 20 computers in the library we have.”

Bowyer said the new library will have approximately 250 computers.

Board discusses SCORE prize

SCHOOLS

By JESSICA [email protected]

On Wednesday, Nov. 7, the Tipton County School Board was presented with an award banner by a representative of the State Collaborative on Reforming Edu-cation, an independent nonprofit organization based in Nashville.

The prize is given to various schools and districts on a state-wide basis to reward considerable improvements in the quality of public education and to celebrate increased student achievement.

As she presented the banner to the school board, SCORE repre-sentative Laura Moore praised local schools for their vision and standards which she claimed far exceed expectations.

This well-earned award was without a doubt the highlight of this month’s school board meet-ing on Thursday.

The meeting also involved an update to last month’s discussion concerning the use of personal communication and electronic

Trespassers beware: Old Trinity haunted by deputiesBy ECHO [email protected]

People visiting Old Trinity in the Fields Epis-copal Church on Hallow-een night received a scare they probably weren’t expecting.

Instead of waiting to see if a statue in the church cemetery bled from its eyes, trespassers were confronted by two detectives hiding inside the church.

“The vandalism and trespassing at the church

has got to stop,” said Tip-ton County Sheriff’s Of-fice Deputy Chief Donna Turner. “It’s going beyond just the myths now.”

Aside from an annual pilgrimage on Trinity Sunday, the church, built by slaves in 1847, sits as a vacant reminder of the South before the Civil War. For many years, rumors of paranormal activity have circulated through the community and the church has be-come a popular haunt for thrill-seekers who wish

to put local legends and ghost stories to the test. In doing so, though, said Turner, the law is being broken.

“Two months ago the vandalism started back up,” she said. “Because of the folklore, things al-ways come to a head right around Halloween. There are several myths associ-ated with the church and there are some problems because the church is va-cant most of the time.”

In recent years, vandals

Taylor named TNOA officer of the year

On Thursday, Nov.8, 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force Agent Garri-son Taylor was presented with the Ten-nessee Narcotics Officers Association (TNOA) Narcotics Officer of the Year Award for the Western Region of Ten-nessee, at their annual awards banquet and training conference held in Gatlin-burg, Tennessee.

Garrison was first assigned to the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force from the Covington Police Department in July, 2007, and served as the Agent Supervisor for the Task Force. Dur-ing that time, Garrison led numerous drug operations and investigations that resulted in successful prosecu-tions in Fayette and Tipton counties. In July, 2009, as a result of grant funding, Garrison was hired and assigned to a full-time position with the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force, where he was appointed to serve as the Deputy DTF Director and lead case Agent for the 25th Judicial District DTF.

On Oct. 1, 2011, Garrison was as-signed to the DEA Resident Memphis Office as a Task Force Officer, and was immediately assigned to “Operation Sick Puppy”, an OCDETF case which targeted a significant cocaine drug traf-ficking organization (DTO) in Lauder-dale County, Tennessee. This operation was initiated in January, 2011 by the DEA, Tennessee Bureau of Investiga-tion (TBI), and the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force after multiple mur-ders occurred in a short period of time in Lauderdale County, including the

October, 2010 double homicide of two U.S. Postal Service employees in Hen-ning, Tennessee. The operation was targeted to investigate the relationship of these increased incidents of violence to the drug trafficking organization and activity in the Lauderdale County area.

As a result of Agent Taylor’s leader-ship and dedication to the operation, on April 10, 2012, a total of 21 members of the DTO were indicted by a federal grand jury in Memphis for violations of the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA), by conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and more than 500 grams of cocaine base. On April 12, 2012, the drug suspects were arrested during a large scale round-up by multiple federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.

“These arrests have made a signifi-cant impact on the overall public safety of Lauderdale County, and without Agent Taylor’s hard work and commit-ment to the operation, such unchecked lawlessness would have continued to plague and endanger the people of Lau-derdale County”, said District Attorney Mike Dunavant. “We join the TNOA in expressing our gratitude to Agent Tay-lor for his tireless efforts in narcotics in-vestigations in West Tennessee, and we congratulate him on this well-deserved recognition”, said Dunavant.

Dacus Riding Club asks for assistanceBy JESSICA [email protected]

The Dacus Riding Club president and board of directors attended the Brighton Mayor and Board of Aldermen meeting on Tuesday to discuss their efforts to make their arena a point of pride for the city of Brighton and Tipton County.

They reported that in the past few months, they have held multiple community events at their facility, including major tractor pulls, barrel rolls, horse shows, and 4-H events.

These events, they said, have proven to be successful in bringing people in as a community attraction, and have motivated the club to purchase upgrades and perform renovations to make their facility more aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.

As a non-profit organization, the board is requesting assistance from the city with their electric and water bills so that they can focus their financial efforts on purchasing these upgrades. This assistance, they say, will allow them to upgrade their facilities while at the same time continuing to turn lights on for events.

Mayor Scott and Brighton aldermen requested documentation concerning the club’s past finances and

proposed budget, which will take effect in January, and advised that the matter would be taken under careful consideration, as the requested assistance could not only benefit the riding club, but the city of Brighton as well.

Also in attendance were representatives from the local Boy Scouts, who reported that the county-wide Veteran’s Day Flag Retirement Ceremony was a great success. They briefly discussed a few of their upcoming events as well.

Other matters discussed in the meeting are as follows:▪ The date for the

Brighton Christmas Parade was confirmed, which will be Monday, Dec. 3rd at 7 p.m. in Downtown Brighton.▪ Fire Chief Bridges

discussed upcoming mandatory changes in their radio system, and will provide the final date these changes must be made.▪ The police

department report was given, and the number of calls they received in the past month were significantly high. Brighton citizens are cautioned to keep an eye out for suspicious activity, especially concerning break-ins.▪ The police

department requested additional security measures for their facilities, including the installation of security cameras. Mayor Scott

requested exact prices for this equipment.▪ Alderman Wyatt

made a motion to have decals put on vehicles belonging to the Public Works department. This motion was passed.

At next month’s meeting, the newly-elected aldermen will be sworn in.

Brighton's meetings of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen take place on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

BRIGHTON

Tipton County Public Schools will be closed

Monday, Nov. 19-Friday, Nov. 23 for Thanksgiving

break. Schools will reopen on Monday, Nov. 26.

The project is expected to complete by the summer of 2014.

In other matters:• The commissioners passed a mo-

tion to have county attorney David Owen draft a resolution that will allow the county to being the process of con-demning property currently leased by the Charleston Volunteer Fire Depart-ment.

There has been a dispute as to the length of the lease. The property changed ownership recently.

Several members of the fire depart-ment were on hand at the meeting.

Chief Mike Wallace declined to com-

ment on the matter. A group representing the fire depart-

ment attended a meeting of the Tipton County General Welfare committee last month with a petition signed by 807 people in support of condemning the property.

• During the finance and adminis-tration report, Commissioner Quincy Barlow said that $9,000 was being paid by the county to replace repeaters on a tower at the Tipton County Landfill. The action was taken to fix communi-cation problems that Tipton County Sheriff's Office deputies have been having for several months.

• Huffman said that next month's meeting has been moved to Dec. 18 at 7 p.m.

have desecrated headstones in the church cemetery and have repeatedly vandalized the building, breaking locks, windows and more.

“It’s deteriorated to the point where there’s no lock on the door,” Turner said, explaining caretakers would rather people enter the church through an unlocked door than break it down. “When they trespass and vandalize things, the church elders and caretak-ers are having to foot the costs.”

To help curb the problem, the under-cover operation was put into motion on Halloween night. Turner said 23 people – from ages 12 to 46 – were cited into court for trespassing.

Two men were also arrested. While detectives hid inside the sanc-

tuary, the men entered, approached the altar and, she said, began mumbling satanic messages.

The two – Samuel Edward Rog-ers, 18, of Mason and Steven Michael Gallagher, 46, of Memphis – were both charged with drug possession in addi-tion to trespassing. Rogers was in the

possession of schedule II, III and IV drugs as well as drug paraphernalia.

Both men are out on a $10,000 bond. Turner said the operation is part of

an ongoing investigation and cautions potential trespassers to think twice before entering the property.

“One rumor you can confirm: it may not be haunted by ghosts, but you might meet a Tipton County deputy out there.”

Persons with information regarding vandalism at the church are asked to call 901-475-3300.

FPC to host community Thanksgiving dinner

event

By echo [email protected]

With plans to serve the community next week, members of Covington’s First Presbyterian Church are showing they are walking the walk, so to speak.

On Thanksgiving Day, church mem-bers will host a community Thanksgiv-ing dinner at the Chamber Center.

“This is open to everyone,” said the Rev. Dr. Scott Sealy, the church’s pastor. “We’ll continue to serve until the food runs out.”

The dinner, which has been in the works for a year, came about because the church was looking for ways to

reach out and serve the community in a more effective way. The church pro-vides food through its Food for Friends food pantry, but Sealy said hosting a dinner provides in other ways.

“Meeting their physical needs (through the food pantry) is one thing, but sharing time together is nourishing to the soul.”

Sealy said it is important to put faith into action.

“When you put your faith into action your faith grows,” he said.

The dinner will take place at noon. The Chamber Center is located at 101 West Court Square, Covington.

Deputy justified in shootingBy echo [email protected]

A former deputy was recently cleared by the grand jury for a shoot-ing that left a Drummonds man dead.

The shooting took place on July 23 after deputies Ryan Magee and Tyler Huelsing responded to a domestic disturbance in the 1600 block of Pryor Road.

According to reports, deputies es-corted Krystle Henry to her residence after an argument with her boyfriend, Charles “Scooter” McRaven. Henry wanted to collect personal items so she could spend the night elsewhere.

After deputies knocked on the door several times, McRaven opened the door and pointed a shotgun at Magee. McRaven was ordered to drop the gun and did not comply.

Magee fired three shots, striking McRaven twice. He was pronounced dead at 9:43 p.m.

The entire incident was captured on Magee’s in-car dash camera.

Toxicology reports indicate McRa-ven was under the influence of alco-hol, marijuana and Xanax at the time of his death.

In the last year, McRaven had two prior arrests for domestic assault, which involved Henry, and one for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

On Nov. 5, the Tipton County Grand Jury ruled Magee’s use of deadly force was justified, proper and necessary to stop the threat of deadly violence.

“There is no question that Deputy Magee acted legally, appropriately and just as he was trained to do when confronted with such a dangerous and unpredictable domestic violence situation,” said District Attorney Mike Dunavant.

Magee has since left law enforce-ment and moved out of state.

The board’s big-gest concern is that most students use their devices during the school day despite the ban, even at the demand of concerned parents in the event of emergencies. To lift the ban and regulate the use of such devices, the board proposed that a pilot policy be implemented at one school at the

discretion of any principals wishing to participate.

When I attended Rosemark Grammar school it was close to walk. Later and older I was the cat’s meow and rode my fireballin’ Schwinn bicycle. We had special parking places (never get some-one else’s) and don’t forget to turn your front wheel around back’ards so it wouldn’t flop over and knock the handle bars whompy jawed.

Friends, I was so excited to en-roll in the ninth grade at Bolton High school. All of us thought we were sumpin’, but actually we were fresh meat and ground up regularly. Just like you. Remember? Sev-eral changes took place, but one of the biggest thrills to me was rid-ing a school bus about six miles or so. My for-mer classmate friends from Rosemark Phil, Emerson, Mattie, Paul, Bobby, Edna Mai and Don, were picked up at Barretville. When Mr. Charlie, our bus driver, stopped at Thompson Brothers store in down-town Rosemark for us to board I was elated to sit with them.

The big old mean boys and grown-ups had told us how it was gonna’ be, but we fresh, naïve new kids on a gum stump weren’t real-ly prepared for all this. It is prob-ably hard for modern day citizens to comprehend or try to under-

stand how it was. All aboard art the other sound without an utter at seven AM o’clock sharp. My first remembrance of reading other folk’s mind.

Mr. Charlie’s responsibility was to transport the willow tree swing-ers in a big, long, yellow school bus. I thought ole yellow was big-ger than a continental trailways highway contraption and if gut-ted would hold an entire field of fresh, new pasture cut lespedeza that would fill up a tin roofed barn. Mr. Charlie must have been

threatened with being guillotined if we didn’t arrive on time. Casey Jones would have been proud and possibly have learned a thing or two. Emerson com-mented years later, “did you ever wonder if Mr. Charlie was Richard Petty’s speed teacher?” We were never late.

Neighbor, before I was allowed to enter Bolton (college) high

school Momma had to go to the school and fill

out a stack of papers as all incom-ing fresh were required. I had begged to tag along with agree-ing to behave and “ack-rite”. If some have been under a chicken coop and didn’t know this, Bol-ton had previously been a college bought and owned by Mr. Bol-ton, rich landowner, and was self

subsidized until later when it was turned into a public school. Still privately owned. Yep!

Many years later during one of our front porch talks Momma re-lived how simple it was for ankle biters to attend the local communi-ty schools. Momma had my birth certificate that proved I was born; not hatched. If I had my shot? Just look at my beautiful left shoulder with a scar about the size of a sil-ver dollar. I just hoped I wasn’t re-quired to get cholera or erysipelas and possibly a hoof and mouth disease shot too.

Everything you could think of. Who was my Doctor? Well, ‘Doc’ Flippin. My dentist. Daddy yanked a couple that were hang-ing, but we visited Dr. Reed in Mil-lington. Beloved when Mrs. Eu-nice Moffatt asked Momma for our phone number about calling if I got hurt, she was surprised to learn we didn’t have a phone as it was too expensive. Momma proudly said, “just call Alice our wonderful neighbor and she’ll come get me.” My folks didn’t get a phone until I was twenty five and gone. Too high! Just a few Southern Memo-ries of a strange transformation of a country Redneck….Glory!

Frightening changes from grammar to high school

GUEST OPINION

Oh, to be young again—but not too fast! Believe it or not, I was young once. I am now getting invitations from AARP to join and I am still shy of my 52nd birthday. Too young to draw social security, yet too old to get a job as a disc jockey for the dance. I look back at my own youth, which I would define as the period between my 13th and 30th birthdays, and remember both the promise and prob-lems.

When we are young we are full of hope and optimism. Sometimes this makes us gullible, but it also made us reach for what

for many seem unach-ievable. Just ask Bill Gates. Of course, we did not have the 24-hour television with 500 sta-tions, video games, cell phones and the texting world to divert our at-tention, and I think this did give us more time to look beyond instant gratification.

Don’t get me wrong. The youth of my genera-

tion wanted success immediately, but failure did not seem to dissuade us from continu-ing to try, at least for a while. I think that is the strength and weakness of youth; that time and experience tempers, sometimes in good ways so as to make us more thoughtful before we dive in, but it can be bad if we let failure make us too cautious so as to not try to get anything of merit accomplished.

Faith can be much more abundant among the young. As we get older, we start to doubt that which faith imagined as possible. We are confident in youth before fear creeps in and make us hold back.

It’s often hard to get the attention of those older when you are young. I can remember when I turned thirty. It seemed I had finally become an adult that people would actually listen to, except for my kids.

A problem I do see that is more pro-nounced today is that youth have so many material things—cell phones, cars, and other items that were generally luxuries only for the youth of the rich. Parents, schools and much of society seems to think that the best head start for the young is a wealth of equip-ment, gadgets and things.

I do see the material wealth of the Ameri-can youth as a hindrance. There is something seductive about the modern technological age that tends to turn youth into spectators, impatient or questioning about the advan-tages of thrift and hard work. We give young people the fruits of our modern society when we should be giving them the apple seed in order to teach them the hard work of culti-vating followed by the great sense of success after much labor.

It has been said that the youth are the guardians of our future liberties and free-dom. Some of my generation and older are a little fearful of this thought. Around 700 B.C., the Greek poet Hesiod said “I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words.”

It would be easy to fall into that way of thinking. The older folks from all previous generations seemed to be similarly concerned about the youth of their day as far back as recorded time. I struggle with this myself, but I know that I must hold out for the possibility that our young people will be the next great generation that sacrifices self interest for their families, communities and country.

It is up to those of us over 30 to teach the young good habits that will make for a better society. Help them be wary of deceit without dashing their hopes and dreams. Teach them that temperance is to be used as a tool to ensure they avoid the pitfalls of hasty desires and ambitions, but not to petrify them into inaction and cynicism.

Despite the many problems of youth, there always remains the promise!

FLASHBACK

Twenty students from Munford High School were selected to sing in the 2012 All-Northwest Tennessee Honor Choir. For the fourth straight year, MHS increased the number of its students accepted to the choir, and set a school record for the most MHS students ever selected in a year. Only three other schools in west Tennessee sent more students. In addition, six students were selected to go on to audition for All-State. The choir met November 8-10 and were conducted by Dr. Jeffery Redding, Drector of Choirs at West Virginia University. Senior Lacey Hindman was 1st chair Soprano 1 as the highest scoring Soprano 1 in the region, a featured soloist at the event, and received a trophy for being selected to All-West all six years of eligibility. Students prepared the music during the fall and had to pass an audition in October to be selected.

When you retire, you may well have accomplished some impor-tant financial goals, such as send-ing your children through college and paying off your mortgage. Yet, you can’t relax just yet, because your retirement could easily last two or three decades, which means you’ll need at least two or three decades’ worth of income — which, in turn, means you’ll need the proper savings and investment strategies in place. And, just as importantly, you’ll also need to be aware of the types of risk that could threaten these strate-gies.

Let’s consider some of these risks:

• Longevity — None of us can say for sure how long we’ll live. But it’s still important to have an estimate, based on your health and family history. So if you think you may live, for 25 years in retirement, you’ll want to withdraw enough from your investments each year to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle — but not so much that you deplete your funds before the 25 years have passed.

• Inflation — We’ve experienced pretty mild inflation over the past few years. But over time, even a low rate of inflation can seriously erode your purchasing power. To

illustrate: If your current monthly costs are $3,000, with only a 3% annual inflation rate, that would be about $4,000 in 10 years. And in 25 years at that same rate, your monthly costs will have more than doubled, to about $6,200. To help protect yourself against inflation

risk, it’s important to have at least some investments that offer growth potential, rather than only owning fixed-income vehicles, such as certificates of deposit (CDs). You’ll also want to consider sources of rising income potential, such as dividend-paying stocks. (Keep in mind, though, that stocks can reduce or

discontinue dividends at any time and are subject to market fluctua-tion and loss of principal.)

• Market Fluctuations — When you retire and begin taking with-drawals from your investment portfolio — that is, when you begin selling off investments — you’d obviously like prices to be high. After all, the classic piece of investment advice is “buy low, sell high.” But it’s impossible to try to “time” the market this way, as it will always fluctuate. That’s why you may want to consider sources of income whose value is not dependent on what’s happen-ing in the financial markets. Your financial advisor may be able to

recommend investments that can provide you with this type of in-come stream.

• Low interest rates — Many retirees depend on fixed-rate in-vestments for a good portion of their retirement income — so it’s a real challenge when interest rates are low. Consequently, when you retire, you’ll certainly need to be aware of the interest-rate envi-ronment and the income you can expect from these investments. Longer-term fixed-rate vehicles may be tempting, as they typically offer higher rates than shorter-term ones, but these longer term investments may have more price fluctuation and inflation risk than shorter-term investments. Conse-quently, you’ll still likely need bal-ance between short, intermediate, and long-term investments to pro-vide for a portion of your income in retirement.

Retirement can be a rewarding time in your life. And you can help make your retirement years even more enjoyable by understanding the relevant investment risks and taking steps to address them.

Thanks to election workers

On November 6, 2012 this com-munity participated in an elec-tion of historic proportions. Dur-ing early voting and election day well over 24,000 people voted. Two full-time and one part-time Election Commission employees, with the help and guidance of five part-time Election Commissioners, hired and trained approximately 160 registered voters.

These voters, each with an aver-age of 90 minutes of training, car-ried out the entire election. Each of them acted without regard to

personal political preference. Any-one who thinks Republicans and Democrats cannot work together should observe these members of our community devoting their time and effort to bringing about a fair and accurate election.

I want to convey our deepest thanks to the members of the com-munity who made this happen.

In addition, thanks to the insti-tutions who provided us with es-sential supplies and locations to train and to vote. These include: Neighborhood Tutor, Atoka; Cov-ington High School; Canaan Bap-tist Church, Covington; National

Guard Armory, Covington; Gar-land Community Center; Gateway Baptist Church, Atoka; Munford City Hall; Poplar Grove United Methodist Church, Drummonds; Austin Peay Elementary School; St. Mark’s M B Church, Drummonds; Brighton Community Center; and Mrs. Joanne Moore on the island of Corona.

To these folks and to all of you who worked so hard, thank you for your dedication to this election and to this community.

Patients in hospitals are injured by medical mistakes or preventable problems in over 1 out of 3 stays, ac-cording to a recent study published by Health Affairs, which confirms that hospital mistakes, harmful events and medical malpractice problems are even worse than we sus-pected. As an injury attorney, I see tragic events every day.

The most common harmful events that injure patients occur-ring in hospital stays are:■ 38 percent medi-

cation related injury (such as wrong medicines, double dosing, drug interaction)■ 28 percent procedure injuries

(such as surgery on incorrect body part, stitches do not hold)■ 18 percent hospital-acquired in-

fections (such as staph, MRSA, infect-ed bedsores)■ 04 percent blood clots (such as

pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis)

Harmful events during hospital-izations cost all of us by lengthening stays considerably. The average hos-

pitalization is about three days, but it more than doubles to eight days when just one harmful event rears its ugly head. Also, readmissions to hospitals

are much more common after a harmful event.

Extra days in the hospi-tal equal money. A full 17% of Medicare’s hospital pay-ments are for readmission to the hospital. Since these read-missions cost an average of $14,500.00, and some much more, it takes few of these tragedies to unnecessarily run up bills.

How can you be safer?1. Ask your nurse each time

to verify what exact medica-tion is being given. It is a

great idea to keep multiple copies of your current medication list handy.

2. Ask your nurse all the names (generic and trade names) that your medications may be called and jot those down. Often, mistakes are just double dosing on the same medica-tions called by different names.

3. Ask your nurse or doctor what medicines or substances you should never take, given your current medi-cations and medical conditions. (For example, people on blood thinners usually will be advised against eat-ing green leafy vegetables regularly,

as this promotes blood clotting.)4. Make sure that the nurse taking

you to surgery follows procedure by double checking your identity brace-let and verifying your procedure and doctor’s name that day. They now of-ten mark the leg that needs surgery “yes” and the other “no” to reduce chances of operating on the wrong leg.

5. Check for bedsores, proper turn-ing or repositioning, and assure regu-lar changing of diapers and general cleanliness. Take photos of bedsores.

6. Make sure you know what signs and symptoms should be worried about before you get discharged. Usually signs of infection like fever, swelling and red streaking should get you back to the doctor right away.

Most doctors and nurses are won-derful, committed heroes. Most will tell you, though, that mistakes can and do happen. The proactive patient and family is most likely to benefit and not be harmed by medical treat-ment.

By SHERRI ONORATISpecial to The Leader

In 1912, the life expec-tancy of people in the United States was only 51.5 years compared to 78.3 in 2012. Munford resident Mary Vance Hill has surpassed both of those predictions and she will celebrate her 100th birthday this month.

She was born in Tipton County right about the time Washington D.C. received its famed gift of 3,020 cherry blossom trees from Tokyo mayor Yukio Ozaki to symbol-ize the friendship be-tween the United States and Japan.

Mary Vance was the only daughter of James Vancoat Fite and Mary Edith Delashmit, born on Nov. 23, 1912. Her fa-ther, a 41-year old wid-ower with three children, Walter, Larry and Kate, married her 17-year old mother on Dec. 1, 1906. Soon the blended fam-ily home was filled with more love as five more sons, William, James Earl, Robert, Russell, Da-vid, also known as Pat, and Mary Vance were welcomed additions to the family.

Her ancestors, both the Fite and Delashmit families, were early set-tlers and farmers in Tip-ton County. Beginning in the 1830s, the Delashmits began acquiring land and were extensive prop-erty owners in the Holly Grove area. On her fa-ther’s side of the family, the Fites acquired several hundred acres on and west of Marshall Road. The family farm includ-ed a gristmill, black-smith shop, cash crops, orchards and vegetable

gardens. Mary Vance and her

brothers attended Egypt School in Brighton, a one-room, framed school-house which taught stu-dents in grades 1st thru 6th. In 1922, when 9-year old Mary Vance was in the 4th grade, her teacher was her older sister Kate Fite Banks, who through-out Mary’s life was con-stant source of strength for the young girl. Mary Vance was a very good student and during the 1927/28 school year when she was in the 8th grade, she ended the school term with two grades of B+ in arith-metic and U.S. history, three A’s in English, ge-ography and deportment and two A+’s in reading and spelling and earned a promotion to the 9th grade at Brighton High School. While at Brigh-ton High, she traveled by horseback to school each day and during the win-ter months she boarded with her older sister and her husband, Walter Banks.

When Mary Vance was just 10 years old, her be-loved father died in a gravel pit accident on Nov. 8, 1923. Her mother remarried her deceased husband’s nephew, John (Jack) Fite on Dec. 18, 1925.

As a teenager, she en-joyed many activities that were typical of the time – church socials, family get-togethers and spending time with her many siblings, cousins and friends. A few of her very best friends were Ruth and Lillian McGow-an, Elsie Elam and Bessie Delashmit.

The Depression was a difficult time and espe-

cially for so young a cou-ple. E.B. had a hard time locating work that would allow him to support his young family. Although she loved her husband very much, Mary Vance was tired of his extend-ed absences and lack of monetary support and knew she had to take care of her young daugh-ters. She filed for divorce in Aug. 1938.

Mary Vance then met Addison Hill of Ran-dolph, a kind and lov-ing widower who had a young daughter named Shirley Faye. They mar-ried on Dec. 7, 1938.

Living during the Great Depression meant that the entire family had to pull together and work on the family farm, including the children. Mary and her children all worked in the fields to help support the family.

“Life got a lot better after momma married my step-father,” remi-nisced her oldest daugh-ter Guelda Faye Har-rison. “We were able to buy our first house and momma worked hard to make sure we had what we needed. She would work two days hulling cotton to earn $3 a day to be able to buy material to make us our clothes.”

During World War II, Addison and Mary Vance both found employment at DuPont Powder Plant in Millington where gun-powder was made for the war effort. While work-ing at the plant, both Ad-dison and Mary Vance suffered severe chemical burns to their legs. Mary’s wounds were so severe; she had to quit working at the plant, which put a further strain on the fam-ily’s budget. She com-

pensated by working on the family farm and stashing rationed goods. Her children remember their mother stashing ra-tioned goods in the attic, including canned pine-apple that she used in baking cakes for Sunday afternoon visitors.

“Momma always tried to see that we had a sta-ble life,” said Harrison. “It was hard times but she loved us so much.”

“Momma loved her children and other peo-ple’s children as well,” added Harrison. “She ex-pected us to study hard and always be honest. She taught us moral char-acter, to be fair-minded and to treat everyone like you’d like to be treated. The children of Wiley Drive have known her as “Nana.” Her door was always open to them and they could count on re-ceiving kind words, gin-gered with servings of cookies and ice cream. Some of her most trea-sured memories are times spent with her grand, great and great-great grandchildren who will always remember her imagination and creative story-telling.”

She is a 60-year mem-ber of the Munford Meth-odist Church and she is appreciative of all God’s blessings received dur-ing her earthly life span of 100 years.

The family of Mary Vance Hill would like to invite friends and family to her 100th birthday cel-ebration on Sunday, Nov. 25 from 2-4 p.m. at Mu-nford Methodist Church, 57 S. Tipton Rd. in Mun-ford. The family request that only birthday cards be given.

901-476-7116The U.S. government is some $16

trillion in debt. With the election over, Democrats and Republicans will soon be back at the negotiating table, driven there by the so-called "fiscal cliff" -- the moment in January 2013 when the Bush-era tax cuts expire and automatic cuts to defense and social programs take effect.

What exactly will be on the table when the two sides sit down? A raft of articles and books have been writ-ten about last year's series of failed deficit negotiations, most importantly Bob Wood-ward's "The Price of Politics" and David Corn's "Show-down," offering a roadmap of where the talks are most likely headed.

Medicare served as one of the key stumbling blocks dur-ing the 2011 budget negotia-tions. Given that the program is predict-ed to continue to grow as a percentage of GDP over the next decade, Republicans demanded serious structural reforms to the program itself.

During the 2011 negotiations, the House GOP leadership lobbied for sig-nificant reforms on par with what Paul Ryan was proposing, but they were also willing to look at savings that wouldn't fundamentally alter the Medicare mod-

el.To achieve significant and long-term

savings, they proposed raising the eli-gibility age from 65 to 67, means-testing benefits further, using systematic re-search to prioritize effective treatments and increasing premiums on seniors. The White House did give some indication

that it would be willing to broker a compromise on Medicare. During his talks with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Obama allowed that he would be open to raising the eligibil-ity age to 67 and to increas-ing premiums for those se-niors in the highest income brackets.

Although Social Secu-rity is not slated to become a black hole in the federal budget in the same way

that Medicare and Medicaid would, the GOP has pushed to cut back the pro-gram as well. Obama and congressio-nal Democrats stood firm against most of the proposed reforms, but did allow some incremental savings and for the Consumer Price Index to be re-calibrated in a way that slows the growth of retire-ment benefits.

The people say no, however. 65 per-cent see any proposal to recalculate the

inflation index for Social Security bene-fits as unacceptable, according to the De-mocracy Corps/Campaign for America's Future poll.

"Medicare, Medicaid ... everything should be on the table, except raising taxes. Because raising taxes will hurt our economy and hurt our ability to create jobs in our country," Boehner said when discussing the deficit reduction process on CBS in May 2011. He repeated the vow the day after the 2012 election.

Guess what people? Considering where we are with our bloated federal spending, revenue is a MUST; what-ever forms it may come from. This means cutbacks on various entitlement programs, tax increases for all (includ-ing those who can afford it most), and changes to the way our leaders act and negotiate in Washington. Failure to come to a compromise by year end will have disastrous consequences. Based on what I have seen, we will meet the task and in effect - delay the inevitable again, NOT learning from our mistakes - put-ting off till tomorrow what we should do today. People in Washington should review some history about Europe and Greece’s woes right now. Is the US actu-ally acting any different?

PerryvilleIn his recollections, Captain

James I. Hall wrote of the Confed-erate invasion of Kentucky dur-ing the Fall of 1862. He recalled the night march across the Cum-berland Mountains due to the ex-treme heat and scarcity of water. He detailed the absence of com-missary wagons at Sparta where Gen. Cheatham purchased from a farmer a field of corn “just in good roasting ear stage and the fence enclosing the field for fuel to roast the corn,” causing some of his comrades to eat as many as 6 to 8 ears of roasted corn each. At Glas-cow, Kentucky, they attended an impressive communion service at the Presbyterian Church, the first since their entry into the service. He also recounted the capture of the Federal garrison at Munford-ville on Green River and the Lou-isville & Nashville Railroad.

Hall remembered the 60-mile march to Bardstown in the blue-grass region where they acquired a great abundance of supplies. He remembered eating delicious and tender beef from their fat cattle while suffering for the want of drinking water, writing that “all we had was warm and muddy pond water.” He recalled the hot and dry weather and the intoler-

able dust on the turnpikes. He told of the march to Lebanon, Per-ryville and on to Danville where they found good drinking water and where they visited Centre College where some had matricu-lated, and of the march to Daniel Boone country at Harrodsburg where they met “more Southern sympathizers than any place on their march thus far.”

Former Covington Mayor/State Representative John Green Hall wrote: “The entrance into Per-ryville, with banners flying while, with firm tread, we keep step to the soul-stirring strains of martial music; the bright faces and cheer-ing words of her women (with Confederate aprons and flags), as they welcomed us to their State.”

On October 7th, Gen. Braxton Bragg’s Confederate Army of about 22,500 men were concen-trated at Perryville. Union General Don C. Buell’s 60,000 men were converging on the town also. The battle fought the next day pitted 16,000 Rebels against 37,000 Yan-kees. The soldiers of both armies were poorly served by their com-manding generals. Bragg ordered his men to attack thinking he was confronting a small portion of the enemy; Buell was in camp several miles from the battlefield unaware that a major battle had been fought due to sound refraction.

With the exception of approxi-

mately 54 Fort Donelson prisoners of the 51st Tennessee recently ex-changed, all of Tipton’s Infantry-men served in Gen. Benjamin F. Cheatham’s Division, Gen. Leoni-das Polk’s Corps of Bragg’s army. The soldiers of Co. D, 154th Ten-nessee, organized at Randolph, served in Preston Smith’s Brigade. During the battle, Smith’s men guarded the army’s wagon trains. Tipton’s remaining infantrymen fought in the battle under the fol-lowing officers:

“Tipton Rifles” Co. I, 4th Regi-ment, Lieut. John T. Barret (Capt. John B. Turner Sr. sick); Colonel O. F. Strahl; BrigadierGen. Alex. P. Stewart’s Brigade.

“Southern Confederates” Co. C, 9th Regiment, Captain Charles B. Simonton; Lt. Col. Col. John W. Buford; Brigadier Gen. George Maney’s Brigade, (a few Tipto-nians served in Co. E.) 51/52d Consolidated Tennessee Infantry Regiments, Colonel John Chester, Brigadier Gen. Daniel S. Donel-son’s Brigade; company com-manders:

Co. G, Captain Sidney E. Sherrill (51st Companies’ G & K)

Co. H, Captain T. C. Campbell (51st Companies’ A, B, & some from G)

Co. I, Lieut. F. M. Spivey, (51st Companies’ C & E) Captain Orrin D. Weaver sick at Knoxville)

Tipton County and the Civil War: October 1862

Hi Everyone,Sorry I missed visit-

ing with you last week. However, being election week, I was preoccupied working for the winner of the 81st district elec-tion for State Represen-tative position for Mrs. Debra Moody.

This past weekend, Mr. Jimmy Vandergrift and his wife Karen opened their lake home to the many who worked and helped support Miss Debra. We had a wonder-ful time and the food was delicious. Please con-tinue to remember Mrs. Moody and her family in your prayers as she takes on this new position.

Charlie is fine and we had a very busy week-end. My nephew, who had served in Iraq a year ago, came to visit with us also. He brought me a 102 Special Forces Bible. Bless his heart, he is fi-nally moving forward, but his memories will always remain with him. He shared Veterans Day with us and was so hap-py to see all the family. It made him so happy and I`m sure proud to see all our American Flags fly-ing in several communi-

ties around us. Thanks again to all of our mili-tary and veterans.

Also please remem-ber the Joe Kelly Mor-gan family, located here in our community, in the loss of his wife, Mrs.Kathy Bridges Morgan. Our prayers are with you.

Hello my friends, I am thankful on this

chilly, frosty and gor-geous day we have been blessed with. My good-ness, where does the time go? The year is just about over and Thanksgiving is next week. That means the kids are out of school for the week also. I know they are happy although many of us won't be, but I'm glad for the teachers. You know they need the week for sure! So if you feel the need to pull your hair out, just imagine how they must feel with 30+ kids for 7 to 8 hours a day! Just thinking of that makes me break out in sweat!

I was watching a news program the other day and a doctor was talk-ing about his new book. I was quite impressed, to say the least. He was very convincing and sincere with his account on his book. I have to say I am going to have to read it. It's called Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife by M.D. Eben Alexander III. Am-azon has this in paper-back, hardcover, audio, and on your Kindle. I'm a believer anyway but I still love to read about others' convictions.

Nov. 24 is Support Small Business Day!! It is so very important for community support for us to survive. This holi-

day season is upon us, so please visit your lo-cal businesses and make your purchases from them for Christmas. It is going to become ever so hard to continue to thrive in this economy with the burdens of taxes and re-forms on the small busi-ness owners if we don't support them. Large corporations do feel the effects but not as throat- cutting as the small busi-ness. So I send a plea for them: HELP US!

Congratulations to Covington Football! They are on a roll. We still have a team in the playoffs. They will be playing Tr-ezevant again this week-end. Go Chargers! That shout out was for Millie.

By the way, progress reports go out today! Hope all of your kiddies did well; if not, it could be a long Thanksgiv-ing Break! That goes for mine, too.

Our prayers go out to the Cope family and Bridges families. Please keep them close on the death of their loved ones.

The Alpha Book Club will be meeting tonight at Blanche Strong's home at 7:30.

Happy birthday to Carmen Hill, John Ev-ans, Ashley Yarbrough, Teresa Miller, Christy Oswalt, Teresa Hayes, Marvine Coley,Mallory Utley, Laura Griggs, Deb-bie Jones, Lindsey Pate,

Sherrie Davis, Jenna Shelton, and Neal Simon-ton, who got to celebrate his birthday for two days in a row! And last but not least, we are waiting on Kim Short Byrd to deliv-

er Miss Katherine Olivia into the world.

Have a wonderful week and make it a safe one.

Hello, all! Ready or not, here it comes! Old man winter is showing his ugly head! I don’t know about you but I’m just not ready for it to be cold. This beautiful weather we’ve had for the last two months has spoiled me rotten. But then you consider we are nearing the end of November, and Christmas is right around the corner. Yes, I know, I’m not ready for it either, but it’s also one of those “ready or not, here it comes” things!

We can all look forward to Thanksgiving here in a few days! I personally love Thanksgiving, when you get together with-out all the hustle and bustle of getting out in the crowds, buying gifts, wrapping (back-breaking at my house, don’t know about yours), decorating your house…just think-ing of it makes me tired!

Now I know, Mama, how you felt when “the want to had got up and gone." I know now why you didn’t have the energy to do all that baking we used to love for you to do! Sorry, Mama!

Speaking of Thanksgiv-ing, Dunlap residents are going to be blessed this year by having the Girl Scouts of America get to-gether and make dinner for all of them. What a special treat! They will be here this coming Satur-day, and bringing lunch with them. I’m so excit-ed for the folks to be able to spend some time with the little girls. I’ll let you know how it goes next week.

I would like to take this opportunity to say how wonderfully talented Austin Peay Elementary School is! If you have never been to their Vet-eran’s Day program, you

have been missing out on the most absolutely amazing thing ever put on in Tipton County. This was my third year to go because my grand-son, Jackson Hanks, is in 2nd grade there. He was in kindergarten with Ms. Shelly Mize, who was by the way, wonderful, and then in 1st grade with Ms. Kim Joyner, who also wonderful, and now this year, he is in the 2nd grade with Ms. DaLisa Stearns. She is a military wife her-self and her heart pumps military blood, and Jack-son adores her! I totally agree with Mr. Weath-ers, our wonderful and most humble speaker, that this program should have been put on at the FedEx Forum! Thanks to the Austin Peay staff and faculty and all of you amazing children that are being taught to honor folks who gave their lives and still are today for our freedom. Most of all, thanks to the veterans for serving and protecting

our freedom!Well, this has been a

wonderful week! I think of the many residents that have lived here at Dunlap and served our country. Some have passed on, some have had to move on to a higher level of care, and some are still here! I hate to name any one or two people, but there are a couple that comes to my mind: Mr. Fred Svigel, Mr. Chester Marshall, Mr. Harold Nelms, God rest their precious souls! And then Mr. Freddie Huggins, who always went to the Veterans Day program with me and he always talked about the “Korean war." We love and miss you, Mr. Fred-die, but we can still go see him because he’s just in Arlington. Thank you all so much for serving!

Until next week, God bless you all, and God please continue to bless America!

Greetings,Happy Veterans Day

on Nov. 11! This holiday is truly one of the most important ones in our lives. This is the day that America comes together and remembers, as well as pays honor to our men and women in our armed forces, and when we can tell them as well as show them just how very, very proud of them we all are! Thank you for services rendered as well as ser-vices yet to be rendered. God bless all of you, and God bless the United States of America!

Voting in America is now over. Congratula-tions to our president. As Americans, let us pray for him as all of us stand with him as true Ameri-cans.

Now, for our news this week. The Duration Club and President Willie Mae Burton will gather in the lovely home of member Shirley Taylor of Mill-

ington, formerly of Jame-stown, for their Novem-ber meeting.

President of the Jolly Corteria Club of Jame-stown and their presi-dent, LaRue Albritton, are doing a Grocery Giveaway on Nov. 17, the week before Thanksgiv-ing. Tickets are only $1.00 each, not bad for a box filled to the brim with all your table will be need-ing for your Thanksgiv-ing dinner. I have gotten several tickets, so I have a very good chance on this one being mine!

Hi Folks,We have a huge picture

window in our bedroom. The last thing I do before I go to bed is to pull the blind. Then the first thing I do in the morning is to open the blind. I get to see the beautiful lake just below our home. It be-longs to our good neigh-bors, the Williams, who live behind us, and they can't even see the lake from their home.

My crepe myrtle tree: This past Sunday morn-ing about 8:30 a.m. I lay back down on my bed and I saw this amazing sight: my giant crepe myrtle tree was danc-ing with the wind. The colors were magnifi-cent red, yellow, orange,

green, and all colors in between.

There is one limb reaching across my win-dow. This summer my husband was trimming all the shrubbery. I said, "NO, don't trim that limb," because it had a beautiful blooms on it right at my window. So he left it alone. Now the leaves and branches are putting on a show of col-ors and dancing with the wind.

Bible Study is Wednes-day at 6 p.m. We contin-ue our study of Jeremiah, chapters 30 -34.

During our commu-nion offering last week we gave $388 toward the United Methodist Com-mittee on reliefs disaster response for those affect-ed by Hurricane Sandy. May we continue to pray for all who have been harmed by this storm.

Love and prayers.

It was cold Monday night! I have the gas heater on next to me and it feels good! The cold front last night brought in over an inch and half of rain and our wheat is coming up better today already! I hate that it's dark so early now; I feel like going to bed, but it's only 7:49!

I worked the election at the Armory and we had a steady crowd, though it was never really packed. There was no one in line at 7 so we got on out of there about 8 p.m. I'm glad it's over; what are people going to post on Facebook now?

I took Debbie Otts to lunch on Friday for her birthday. We went to Mil-lington to eat and look around at a couple of hardware stores. Eliza-beth and Lyla came over after I got home and stayed a while. Lyla loves

playing in our leaves! We had a big frost

Thursday morning but no freeze yet. You're sup-posed to wait till after a freeze to set out bulbs, so I'm waiting! I did go ahead and plant two mums that I'd had in my front yard, and also a Lantana that was in a pot. Never knew they were perennials. I always let them die in their pots, and buy another one the next spring!

Joyce Scott and Charlie Click are doing well fol-lowing surgeries. Larry Whaley II had surgery last week and is on the road to recovery. So many others are on our prayer list, including our servicemen and women, and those taking treat-ments.

The birthday party at Covington Manor will be on Nov. 17 at 2 p.m. The Annual Ladies Christmas Party will be at Laura Craft's home on Dec. 2.

Happy birthday this

week to Brock McMahan, who was a year old on Nov. 11, to Frank Brown on the 12th, to Matthew Coats, Charlie Click, Mi-chelle Nowak, Barbara Johnson and Ben Evans on the 15th and to Alli-son Cates on the 16th!

It was good to see April McMahan Gyllen-hammar and her children here from Trosa, Sweden, last week. I know it's al-ways hard for Jimmy and Kathy when they leave!

My sincere symathy is extended to Pam Tank-ersley in the death of her mother, Patsy Blake-ly. That family has my prayers.

This week's Farmer's Almanac Quote: "Indian Summer can occur be-tween Nov. 11 (St. Mar-tin's Day) and Nov. 20."

Chargers roll into quartersBy STEVE [email protected]

Were it not for 145 penalty yards, the Covington Chargers’ demolition of the Sheffield Knights Friday night might have been more complete than it was.

As it happened, the Chargers (12-0) rolled to a 28-0 lead at the half and cruised to a 42-6 home win in the second round of the TSSAA Class 4A state playoffs.

Covington, now two wins away from a berth in the state title game, moves on to host Trezevant tomor-

row night in the quarter-finals.

“We came out ready and executed well in the first half,” said Coving-ton coach Marty Wheeler. “Once we adjusted to their speed we defended better as well. Our red zone play was efficient and our spe-cial teams were on point

in the first half.”Mr. Football finalist Johnston White continued his

record-setting season, scoring five touchdowns while rushing for 315 yards on 29 carries.

Friday’s totals give White 2,342 rushing yards for the year, eclipsing his record-setting total of 2128 yards in 2011. The five touchdowns push his season total to 38 (37 rushing, 1 by pass), also a new record, replacing Darron White’s previous record of 33 in the 2000 season.

Additionally, White needs 13 yards rushing to set a new CHS career-rushing total. He scored on runs of 19, 37, 24, three and six yards. He has fumbled just once in 244 touches this year.

2012-13 PREP BASKETBALL PREVIEW

New coaches take overBy JEFF [email protected]

The 2011-12 Brighton Lady Car-dinal basketball season was one to forget.

Brighton won just three games and saw its season end in the district tournament.

Former assistant Kent Cates takes over this year and will be attempting to take the program in a new direc-tion.

“In my viewpoint, the players have responded with nothing but determi-nation and hard work,” said Cates, who had been an assistant at Brigh-ton the last two seasons. “Everyone is excited about getting the season kicked off. I believe that this team has a strong desire to compete and win. I could not have asked for the team to work any harder and I feel that it will pay off on the court. The senior leadership has been great.”

Cates will have three senior start-ers returning in Hailley Shepard, Mc-Callie Ruffin and Alaina Bierdz.

Kate Price, Morgan Shaver and Brianna Brown round out the senior class.

Back in 2004, Butch Hopkins stepped down after coaching Dyer County to multiple state tournament appearances during his 10-year ten-ure.

Over the last eight years, he's served as a volunteer coach at vari-ous places, all the while considering getting back into the profession full time.

When the Munford job came open last spring, the time seemed right for Hopkins to enter the fray again.

Now, along with his brother and assistant coach Bill Hopkins, he's in charge of a Cougar program that has largely struggled the last few years.

“It was just a situation we were looking for,” said Hopkins, 66. “There were several reasons why.”

One of which is his connection to Tipton County.

Hopkins graduated from Byars-Hall High School (now Covington High School) in 1965, finishing his career with as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,434 points.

Munford Lady Cougar head coach Steve Poin-dexter scheduled power-house Memphis Central in the season opener to get an idea how his team stacks up against the best teams in Class AAA.

The Lady Cougars lost to Central 46-34 Friday night at home, but Poin-dexter feels like his team proved it can compete with the best.

“I'm not discouraged,” Poindexter said. “I feel like we can compete with anybody … The fight was there.”

Poor shooting proved to be Munford's down-fall. The Lady Cougars shot just 20 percent from the field and made just 2 of 21 3-pointers.

Nevertheless, Munford found itself in the game late in the third quarter.

Precious Mills hit a 3-pointer from the corner with 2:09 left in the third to trim Central's lead to 29-19.

But Central, behind Baylor commitment Nina Davis, responded with a 12-2 run and Munford never got closer than 12 points the rest of the way.

Munford senior Rob-neisha Lee led the way for Munford with 16 points. Lauren Zvonalek

added eight and Shaliyah Wiggins added seven.

Covington gave up a lone score following a kick-off return to the CHS 30 yard line to open the second half.

“We came out flat in the second half,” Wheel-er said, "and that’s my fault. We relaxed with a lead and we did not place the kick where we wanted to and it led to a big return. Overall our kick coverage was good. We just had way too may penalties (17).”

Wheeler pulled the starters for the most part midway through the

third period, giving the “B” team some valuable playing time and playoff experience to boot.

The second teamers ac-quitted themselves well, shutting out the Knights and adding a final CHS score on a seven-yard run by Jalen Henderson early in the fourth quarter.

The Charger defense held Sheffield (7-5) to 190 yards.

All of Covington's yardage (489) came via the ground game.

Aretavious Brown re-turned to the backfield

and added 49 yards on five carries for Coving-ton. Henderson had five touches for 89 yards and a TD.

Khamal Pendelton picked off a pass and recovered a fumble for Covington and Trae Wil-son recovered a fumble.

What: Covington (12-0) vs. Trezevant (10-2)Where: CovingtonWhen: Friday at 7 p.m.Key players: CHS - RB Johnston White, WR/DB Carlos Williams, LB Khamal Pendleton; THS – QB Jordan Spencer, RB Jamal Jones, WR LeMarcus StewartNotables: Covington and Trezevant have one common opponent this year in Dyersburg. The Bears shut out Dyersburg 26-0 in the first round of the play-offs. Covington trailed Dyersburg 3-0 at the half before rallying for a 20-3 win on Aug. 30 in Dyersburg … Trezevant advanced to the 2010 Class 4A state title game, losing to Greeneville 60-12. Because of multiple personal fouls and general misconduct, the team was banned from last year's playoffs by the TSSAA. Treze-vant beat Covington 48-6 in the first round of the 2010 playoffs … Stewart caught three touchdown passes and intercepted a pass during the Bears' 36-6 win over Mitchell last week. Stewart was a member of the 2010 state runner-up team. Quotable: “Trezevant is comparable to Milan and Ridgeway in 2002. (Ridge-way beat Covington that year in the quarterfinals and went on to a state title. Wheeler was an assistant coach on that Covington team.) They are young, fast, well-coached, disciplined and very aggressive on defense. They have a balanced offense, running and passing the ball equally well. They will be the most physi-cal team that we have seen all year.” - Covington head coach Marty WheelerWhat's next: The victor advances to the state semifinals to take on the winner of the Liberty-White House game. Covington would host next week with a win.

- Jeff Ireland, Steve Holt

Playoff preview

in the game we had some drives and we didn't fin-ish them. They got ahead and that hurt us.”

Central led 11-4 after one quarter and 23-12 at the half.

In boys action, Mun-ford got its 2011-12 cam-paign off to a great start, taking down Central, last year's Class AAA state runnerup, 63-58.

Jonathan Stark and

Kameron Foster, both of whom transferred from Brighton to Munford this year, led the way.

Stark scored 25 points and Foster added 17 as Munford went on a 15-5 run in the third quarter to take control.

Central led 19-17 at the half.

Joshua Jones led the Warriors with 25 points.

Junior Teiona Lewis and sophomores Kaeyln Forbess, Lily Hill and Jada Johnson also return with limited experience.

The team will be look-ing to make up ground in a very difficult District 13-AAA that includes ex-perienced teams like Mu-nford and Jackson North Side.

Cates said his goal is to achieve long-term suc-cess for a program that has struggled the last few years.

“I'm working towards building a program, not just a one-year wonder,” Cates said. “My goal is to foster an environment that encourages the pur-suit of excellence.”

Salutingour hometown heroes

What Veterans Day Means to MeBy REGAN RIDERSchool-wide essay winner, Austin Peay ElementaryFifth grade

The people that serve in the military, risk their lives to defend our country and save the United States are amazing. We count on them to fight and to save everyone. They are heroes to us. We appreciate all the great work they have done, and all the sacrifices that they make for us. We are a grateful nation for all they do and all they have done. No one could thank them enough for what they do. Sometimes they don’t get to come home after a war. People like that don’t get to see their wife and kids. I think what it would be like for my dad to go to war, and if he didn’t come home. If he did die he would die being brave, full of pride and courageous. My grandfather went to war in the army. My other one went in the Navy. They are still living. I wonder if people still thank them for what they’ve done even if they are home now. I wonder if there are wars every day, but if there are I don’t worry. I know that there are people I can trust fighting for our country and for me but most of all they are fighting for the world. That is why we should appreciate the people that are fighting, and the soldiers that have lost their lives.

We are a grateful nation!

When it comes to celebrating veterans, Tipton County doesn't set aside just one day for tributes. In fact, fi elds of fl ags have been fl ying in salute to these brave men and women for weeks in honor and in memory of the

sacrifi ces they've made to ensure our way of life. On Monday, Nov. 12, the annual Veteran's Day parade took place on the square in Covington and

Crestview Middle and Austin Peay Elementary schools hosted programs in honor of local veterans and Luke Weathers III, whose father was one of the famed Tuskegee Airmen, was the featured speaker at Austin Peay. Following are photos that show various festivities that took place in honor of Tipton

County's veterans.

COMMENTARY

He has been better to us than we deserveBy PASTOR FREEMAN WEEMSFirst Baptist Atoka

I am sure we are all thankful for how kind and forgiving the Lord has really been toward us. Likewise, I am also sure that we actually have a small understanding of what He has done for us. By that I mean, we are only capable of comprehending a certain amount of His work and therefore can only grasp some of what it means to be forgiven and redeemed. Getting a grasp on our sinfulness and how massive it really was when He forgave us will change our life forever. The old Puritans used to speak of sin as “deicide” and of the millions of sins of which we are guilty. Those thoughts give some perspective on the goodness of God in forgiveness toward us. It is the duty of the preacher to spend his life and effort to ferret out as much as he can of the glory of God in His grace toward sin-ners and then give all diligence to

explain it to saved and lost alike, as best he can.

How good has He been to you? Can you even begin to list His mercies and goodness? Oh, that we would show Him by

our faithfulness how much He means to us! Everything we have, all that we are, our fam-ily and all our earthly possessions are only loaned to us by His good hand. We live in a land of plenty. God ex-pects us to work and be productive. Then with His blessing, we are able to have enough for ourselves and surplus

to be a blessing. Giving to those in need is a biblical principle. America has had the opportunity to feed untold millions of starv-ing children around the world. I am thankful that in spite of how it is received that we have had the privilege of giving. Most us are fighting the “Battle of the Bulge,” meaning our waistline, because of the rich food we eat. In many countries people are battling starvation. God has surely been

good to us. There are those who worship

power and prestige. To them, pol-itics is the only important thing in the world. To others, money and its gain is the only thing upon which one should spend life. To this the Bible says, “That the love of money is the root of all evil.” Could not all of we who are saved agree that the Gospel is more important than politics and dollar bills? We should be engaged in our world, doing what we can to shape it both morally and theo-logically. Voting is important, handling one’s finances in a good manner is important, but soul-winning, prayer, and faithfulness to God are greater than that. I think it was David Livingstone who said, “Only one life, twill soon be past, only what is done for Christ, will last!” Let’s live like He is more important than this world. Let’s order our giving to promote the Gospel instead of self-indulgence and satisfaction. And, let’s worship as though it is the only earthly thing that mat-ters, after all, it really is.

Church Bulletins

New Life Presbyterian Church to mark 35 yearsThirty-five years

ago, on Nov. 20, 1977, a congregation in Mun-ford was constituted a church.

The people left the Presbyterian Church in Munford because of its continuing affiliation with the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., which was considered to be lib-eral in theology and un-Biblical. The new church became a member of the Presbyterian Church in America, formed in 1973. It was given the name,

New Life Presbyterian Church. Later the name was changed to New Life Reformed Presby-terian Church, the addi-tion giving witness to the fact that the church was based on the Scriptures and taught and preached only what was Biblical.

This church takes the entire Bible as the revela-tion of God and His will for our obedience, salva-tion, strength and com-fort.

On Sunday, Nov. 18, the church will be cele-

brating its 35 years of life and ministry.

With praise to God for His provision of minis-ters, officers and teach-ers, the church will re-member Mr. Chuck Coe, the founding evangelist, and Mr. Robert Hastings, who served as minister for 17 years. Mr. Dick Bibb and Mr. Vernon Tal-ley served with others as ruling elders. Mr. Talley and Dr. James Miller are the current elders with Mr. Kenneth Fletcher as the deacon. Mr. John

Wingard is the present minister for this congre-gation.

The church would be delighted to have guests, friends and neighbors at-tend the special service of celebration on this coming Sunday.

After the worship of God, the entire congre-gation will have a church fellowship dinner hosted by the Women in the Church organization.

Optimism is the operative word coming from the 2012-13 Covington Charger basketball camp, and that is applied to both the women's and men’s squads.

“I am really excited about the prospects for our la-dies this season,” said Dion Real, who coaches both teams. “We lost five seniors who will be difficult to replace. Nonetheless we are capable of returning to sub-state. We will be more fun to watch because we have more ladies who can do more.”

Precious Harvey returns at the point, coming off a great sophomore campaign. Real says that he expects an even better junior showing from her.

Also returning are senior shooting guard Precious Dyson, who is deadly from long range when on, and junior LeShundra Smerville ,who is a rebounding and scoring presence in the post.

Newcomers include freshman Treasury Poindexter, who Real says has a bright future at CHS.

Returning to CHS is junior Janeika Mason. Senior Ashia Jones also joins the team this year.

“Jones and Mason will both surprise folks this year,” said Real. “They are long and athletic and can really play.”

Joining Real on the bench this year are former CHS stars Katresha Glass and Katasha Poindexter for their third season as ladies assistant coaches.

On the men’s side, Real is a little more guarded about his team’s chances this year.

“We are capable of being good,” he said. "With this

new group it will take some time to learn each other. We have to learn as a group to play tough with de-fensive play the priority. When and if we figure it out and gel, this team could be special.”

Senior post Jalen Dyson and forward Montel Wil-liams are back for their final go, along with outside threats at guard in juniors Jesse Somerville and De-marcus Seaberry.

“These guys have to be leaders for us,” Real said.Three newcomers have added to the buzz around

the program. Senior Demetrius Dyson, a former Brighton stand-

out, looks to add firepower at forward. Haywood transfers Chevia and Tarecus Hughes, a senior and junior respectively, will be called on to provide shoot-ing and rebounding improvement.

"These new players will have the opportunity to take this program to another level,” Real said. “They just have to learn this system and our way of doing things. I have really high expectations. We should be entertaining to watch. I look forward to fans packing the gym to see both teams.”

Real is in his fifth season at the Charger men’s helm and in his third with the ladies. He has taken the men to one sub-state, two regional semifinals and one re-gional first round. Additionally, his ladies reached the sub-state last season. He has 181 career wins in men’s basketball.

Courtney Smith and Steve Poindexter will be on the bench to assist Real for the season.

Director of Schools Buddy Bibb in high school. Steve McCullough, Munford’s athletic director, played for his brother.

“I heard they needed a coach,” Hopkins said. “Just out of curiosty, I talked to Steve McCullough about it … We’d been doing this (coaching) for nothing for four or five years, so I said, ‘Let’s do it like we used to do it.’”

Hopkins will be working with

an overhauled roster. Jonathan Stark, a Division re-

cruit who played for Brighton the last three years, transferred to Munford during the offseason, as did Kameron Foster and Moses Harper, two other key players for the Cardinals last year.

Returning players like seniors Sedric Pryor and Antonio Moore and juniors Andrea Bell and Kylon Hall also figure to make major con-

tributions. Stark and Foster combined to

score 42 points in Munford’s 63-58 win over Memphis Central in the season opener Tuesday.

Hopkins has had success at all of his coaching stops and plans to continue that trend.

“We think we’re going to be competitive,” Hopkins said. “But thinking that and doing that are two different things.”

Almond Bark Cookiessubmitted by Echo day This is my grandmother's recipe. She makes these almost every Christmas.

1 ½ pound package white almond bark

Empty almond bark into 9x13 inch pan and melt in 200 degreeoven for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and add.2 cups dry roasted jumbo peanuts1 c chunky peanut butter2 cups mini marshmallows4½ -5 cups Rice KrispiesMix well, and drop by teaspoon onto waxed paper.Make 75 plus cookies. HINT: these cookies freeze very well.

Pumpkin-Honey Beer Quick BreadBy Echo dayThis is a WONDERFUL pumpkin bread recipe that is moist and delicious. It's a little time-consuming too, but WELL worth it! I serve it with homemade honey butter, which is a great addition. Another secret? With just 6 grams of fat and 194 calories per slice, this bread fits well into any diet plan (okay, except for ALL of the sugar)!

Ingredients14.6 oz all-purpose flour (about 3 1/4 cups)2 tsp salt2 tsp baking soda1 tsp baking powder1 tsp ground cinnamon1 tsp pumpkin pie spice1/2 c water1/3 c ground flaxseed2 1/2 c granulated sugar2/3 c canola oil2/3 c honey beer (at room temperature), such as Michelob Honey Lager1/2 c egg substitute2 lg eggs1 1/4 can(s) pumpkin (15-oz cans)cooking spray

Directions1. Preheat oven to 350°.2. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Com-bine flour, salt, and next 4 ingredients (through pumpkin pie spice) in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk.3. Combine 1/2 cup water and flaxseed.4. Place sugar and next 4 ingredients (through eggs) in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium-high speed until well blended. Add flaxseed mixture and pumpkin; beat at low speed just until blended. Add flour mixture; beat just until combined. Divide batter between 2 (9 x 5–inch) loaf pans (or put in bundt pan) coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.

Ground Turkey SoupBy Echo dayThis is a family favorite I make in the slow cooker. I typically use ground turkey, but you can also use Thanksgiving leftovers.

1 lb. ground turkey1 c. white onion, diced2 cans mixed vegetables or 1 bag fro-zen mixed vegetables64 oz. beef stock1/2 c. pearled barley2 bay leaves1/4 t. salt1/4 t. black pepper

1/4 t. white pepper1/2 t. ground cumin

Stovetop directions: Brown turkey and onions in skillet. Meanwhile, in a stockpot, combine stock, vegetables, salt, pepper and bay leaves and bring to a boil; add turkey and onions mixture (once browned), bay leaves and barley. Simmer covered for 30-35 minutes on low-medium heat.

Slow cooker directions: Brown turkey and onions in skillet. In a slow cooker, combine stock, vegetables, spices and turkey and onions mixture. Cook 7-8 hours on low. Add barley 30-45 min-utes before serving.

Yields 6-8 servings.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.
