Moody becomes first woman in Dist. 81 seatBy ECHO [email protected]

This election year, the primary focus of the country has been on President Barack Obama's re-election bid and his often heated exchanges with Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

Locally, though, all eyes have been on the District 81 race, a contest to fill the seat held by longtime representative Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh (D-Covington). Naifeh announced his retirement earlier this year, signaling the end of an era of Democratic representation.

Debra Moody (R-Covington) won the election handily, defeating opponents Conneye Albright (D-Munford) and Tommy Hill (I-Brighton) with 56 percent of the vote.

Moody became the first woman to be elected to the position and is the first Republican to hold it since 1972.

She did not win the historically-Democratic North-east Covington precinct – coming in third place behind Albright and Hill – but swept the other eight precincts in the district.

And now that the election's over, Rep. Moody said she's eager to get to work.

"I just want to be sure that Tipton Countians have good jobs, that they get to keep more of their hard

Our great country is having a little unsettling and unrest at this time. Our speedy Congress who would make a snapping pond turtle look like a burn-ing jet consists of two parties and yes they do party when they orta’ be working. The Dem-ocratic Party has been accused of being a par-ty of no ideas and the Republicans a party of taking no or bad ideas and making them more terrible.

No one trusts one ’nother or wants to work together. The FBI is checking on the CIA who in turn is checking on the IRS who is checking on the common folks. The hard work-ing common folks are checking on the guv’mint who is supposed to be Congress. The guv’mint could destroy an anvil with a rub-ber hammer. Like a dog chasing his tail, then he gets tired and just quits……..

But wait! At one juncture in our brilliant senior citizen’s lifetime our great country banded together and jumped on board to salvage our country. The entire citizenry united to preserve our freedom during the critical World War II. When is the last time anyone heard the word? RATION. Definitely not

this generation as they wouldn’t comprehend or acknowledge the connotation, ’cept maybe gimme’ ’nuther rationing of fries.

Friends, there ain’t no shortage of comput-ers, cell phones , ipods (whatever that is), no shortage of vehicles, clothes, gas, ear rings or tattoos. There defi-nitely ain’t no shortage of food as all you got to do is look around.

For those that have been under a root cellar the last half century or so, rationing was a way of life. Ask yo’ grand-

ma about hose stockings and bobby pins. Ration-

ing referred to a short, limited or just can’t plain get supply. Grand-daddy can tell you if you didn’t have a coupon, no way you could get any reg’lar or high test petro.

Esso pumps, blue (reg’lar) and red (ethyl) high test, could pos-sibly set idly by as no one had a document required paper which allowed you to twirl the handle, rewind the amount previously purchased and squeeze the handle for a meager four gallons a week. The “A” stamp was personal us-age and most of the fueling was provided by ladies as the men were gone, fighting overseas.

What we know as carpooling

to save space on the roadways was initiated back ’en to save a little gas. The terminology used was, “to catch a ride to work”, and each transporter would swap out rides with neighbors and friends. See how smart the Rednecks were many years ago?

Neighbor, we had no idea the Japanese had confiscated the West Indies where our beloved country obtained ninety per-cent of our natural rubber. Emerson remind-ed us of the importance of red rub-ber.

Why? Well Paul, Lynn, Don, Rabbit and I wanted red for our all important personal slingshots. Forked or single shot as they shot truer and stretched further! Very important at least to young tree swingers)

This moment in history only proves that sometimes doing without makes you do better in the future and appreciate the one thing we take for granted . Our Freedom! But freedom is not and never will be free.

GUEST OPINION

As of this writing I do not know the outcome of the election. I think it is pretty clear to those who have followed me or know me personally how I voted, and yes, I vote Republican. Critics say you should vote the person, not the party, and there was I time I could almost agree with that senti-ment, but there is such a clear difference between Republicans and Democrats today.

The difference is clear enough that I just cannot vote for a person who supports the party of failed Keynesian Economics (government deficit spend-ing), endless entitlements we cannot afford, class envy, abortion on demand, a desire to override a state’s right to define marriage and coolness toward Israel, the only true democracy in the

Middle East.There are many Demo-

crats I like, I do business with Democrats, and some in my family are very liber-al and very Democrat. I just would not vote for them. Now, there are Republicans I would not support as well, such as those who have betrayed the party prin-ciples. I was a supporter and campaign contributor

to Governor Don Sundquist when he ran the first time. By the end of his first term he had called for a state income tax and lined himself up with Speaker Jimmy Naifeh and the Democrats so much that I voted for another in that race.

I have considered independent or third party options, but as we saw in 1992 with Ross Perot, conservatives end up splitting their vote and Democrats win with a plurality, not a majority. Bill Clinton became President with only 42% of the popular vote. Like it or not, our two-party system is the best, if not perfect, option we have.

Although I am sympathetic with Libertar-ians on economic and many state’s rights issues, they go too far in demanding that state and local governments legalize drugs, prostitution and other behaviors I do not want my grandchildren to consider normal. I do agree that most social issues should remain with the states, not the Fed-eral government, and if Libertarians would focus on national rather than at all levels of govern-ment, they might find more supporters.

I love what the Tea Party did, but let’s face it, these were mostly disenchanted Republicans and other conservatives who felt betrayed by Repub-lican politicians spending almost as bad as Dem-ocrats when they had full control of Congress for six years of George W. Bush’s presidency. Many Libertarians supported much of the ideals of the Tea party but would not join the movement be-cause as I heard one commentator say, “Tea Party activists were just too close to Jesus.”

So, in my opinion all fiscal conservatives should band together and get involved inside Republican Party politics. Let’s reform the Party from within and elect true conservatives in the primaries. Libertarians should join Republicans at the national level as even most conservatives don’t want the national government to legislate morality, just know that we will ask state and lo-cal governments to deal with social issues.

The beauty of having 50 states is that if you don’t like the political and social culture in one, you have 49 others to choose from. If all econom-

Naifeh encouraged to relax, smell the rosesGUEST OPINION

By Mack EasleySpecial to � e Leader

Jimmy Naifeh retired from his 38 years of service in the Tennessee Leg-islature on Nov. 6. Below you will see excerpts from his retirement speech as delivered to the general assembly.

“I always believed that people mat-tered (all people, not just people in a party), that their opinions mattered and that they deserved a representative who would listen to their concerns.”

“In all aspects of my life, I’ve always tried to be an effective leader. I think a lot of that stems from my Army train-ing. When I came to the House, it was no different. I got into leadership dur-ing my second term with the ultimate goal of becoming Speaker. I achieved that goal and I’m proud of what I ac-complished during that time.”

Naifeh is a long-time supporter of public education and places the Jimmy Naifeh Center in Covington, a branch of Dyersburg State Community College,

among his most proud accomplish-ments. Outside the legislature Naifeh’s work with St. Jude is well-known. For the past 19 years, he has hosted an an-nual legislative golf tournament in Nashville to benefit ALSAC/St.Jude, where he serves on the Board of Direc-tors.

“My dad came here from Lebanon and couldn’t even speak English!” Naifeh said. “ He always told me what a privilege it was to live in this country and that we had a responsibility to give back. Whether it was my work with St. Jude or in the legislature, I’ve always tried to remember that and use what power I had to improve the lives of ev-eryday people.”

Naifeh has three children – Jim, Beth and Sameera – and six grandchildren – Sarah, Jay, Sam, Jameson, Jack and Katherine. In his retirement, he plans to explore future options while spend-ing more time with his grandchildren.

Jimmy’s efforts to improve the dis-trict are well-known by everyone. He

has worked tirelessly for his home-town, county, district and state. Below are a list of some of his accomplish-ments. Each subject can be studied to see that many other aspects and lives were touch by these projects. They are not as simple as a one-line entry on a list.

• Dyersburg State Community Col-lege (Jimmy Naifeh Center) and ex-pansions; (latest expansion being the joint library between DSCC and Tipton County);

• Downtown revitalization for Cov-ington, Brownsville & Brighton;

• West Tennessee megasite, solar farm and welcome center;

• Glenn Springs Lake;• Highway 14 four lane; • Highway 51 improvements; • Many bridge improvements;• Expansion of the Pre-K program;• Coordinated school health pro-

gram;• Safe Schools program (resource of-

ficers for schools);

• Funding for the Boll Weevil eradi-cation program;

• Grants for law enforcement & fire-fighters;

• Grants for water & sewer up-grades;

• Money for new national guard ar-mory-Tipton county;

• Numerous community develop-ment block grants throughout the dis-trict;

Jimmy gave his entire adult life serving others. Thank you, Jimmy, for your tireless and unselfish contribu-tions. Thank you for your conduct in Nashville while representing your con-stituents. We are proud of you. You served us well.

The legacy and name of James O. “Jimmy” Naifeh will be remembered with other great Tennessee statesmen like: Kefauver; the Gores, Clement, El-lington, Browning, McWherter, Ever-ett, Cooper and Bredesen.

Now, its time to “smell the roses” with the family. You have earned it!

Disclaimer: These persons are innocent until proven guilty. They will face charges in Tipton County General Sessions or Circuit Court unless warrants for their arrest were issued in another county (this may or may not be denoted in the listing of charges).

Under arrestThe following persons were booked into the Tipton County Correctional Facility during the week of Oct. 28-Nov.3.

If you’re a small-business own-er, with no full-time employees (except possibly your spouse or business partner), you’re probably used to taking care of just about everything on your own. So, if you’re thinking of establishing a retirement plan — and you should — you might also be at-tracted to “going solo” with an “Owner-only” 401(k).

An Owner-only 401(k), sometimes known as an Individ-ual 401(k), has been around for a few years now, and has proven quite popular — and with good reason. This plan is easy to establish, easy to administer and, most importantly, gives you many of the same ben-efits enjoyed by employees of a company that offers a traditional 401(k) plan.

These benefits include the fol-lowing:

• Tax deferred earnings — Your earnings aren’t taxed as they accu-mulate.

• Tax deductible contributions — An Owner-only 401(k) consists of two components — salary de-ferral and profit sharing contribu-tions, both of which are generally 100 percent tax deductible. If you choose to make Roth salary defer-

rals to your Owner-only 401(k), your contributions aren’t deduct-ible, but you won’t pay taxes on your earnings, provided you don’t take withdrawals until you’re 59-1/2 and it’s been five years since your first year of Roth deferral.

• Variety of investment choices — You can choose to fund your Owner-only 401(k) with a wide range of in-vestments. And you can construct an investment mix that’s appropriate for your risk tolerance and long-term goals.

Furthermore, an Owner-only 401(k) can potentially allow you to make greater contributions, at an identi-

cal income level, than other small-business retirement plans, such as a SEP IRA. In 2012, you can defer up to $17,000, or $22,500 if you’re 50 or older (as long as you don’t exceed 100 percent of your in-come). Then, in addition, you can make a profit-sharing contribution equal to 25 percent of your income (slightly less if you are unincorpo-rated). So, by combining the salary deferral and profit-sharing compo-nents, you can potentially contrib-ute up to $50,000 to your Owner-only 401(k) in 2012, or $55,000 if you’re 50 or older. And these fig-ures are doubled if your spouse also contributes to the Owner-only

401(k). However, you’re not obligated to

contribute anything to your plan. So, if your business is slow one year, you might scale back your contributions, or put in nothing at all. Then, when business picks up again, you can get back toward contributing whatever you can af-ford, up to the maximum.

Clearly, the Owner-only 401(k) can offer you some key advan-tages in building resources for retirement. But it’s not the only small-business retirement plan on the market, so, before you make a decision, you may want to consult with your tax and financial advi-sors to determine if an Owner-only 401(k) is indeed the right plan for you.

But don’t wait too long. You’ll have to establish your Owner-only 401(k) by Dec. 31 if you want to receive any tax deductions for 2012. And in any case, the sooner you start putting money away, the faster the progress you will make toward the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

ic conservatives would band together at the national level we could make a real difference in federal government.

Now, elections are over and it’s time to unite, even if just for a while, on those things upon which most of us can agree. I plan to impose a moratorium on writing about politicians or politics for the next few months. Even I’m fatigued with politics. It’s time for all Americans to unite, and then in time for conser-vatives to ensure Republicans live up to less govern-ment at all levels.

As an injury lawyer and a fam-ily man who sees tragedies every day, I try to help to prevent inju-ries, car accidents, and even un-necessary insurance claims. Some of you may find yourselves traveling through storm-prone areas, or have beloved rela-tives and friends who do. You might want to share or forward this article to them.

If you are indoors, as the storms ap-proach:

Put your cars in the garage to protect from hail and debris.

Get inside, and account for ev-eryone and keep them close.

Keep shoes or boots with laces snugly tied on everyone’s feet.

Move to an inside room, bath-room, storm shelter or basement.

Keep your wallet, cash, credit cards and identification in your pockets.

Have a battery-powered radio, flashlights and charged cell phones with you.

Storms need not level your home to hurt you; many folks are injured by flying glass, boards and de-

bris. Stay away from windows: If it is a minor storm, there is nothing to see; if it’s bad, you can’t see at all.

Be aware that sky lights will of-ten break in a hail storm or from thrown debris.

Avoid using electrical ap-pliances, bath tubs or show-ers should your house be struck by lightning.

Unplug computers and nicer electronics to protect from power surges.

If you are outdoors on foot and taken unaware by a storm:

Cover your head to pro-tect it from hail impacts, and seek inside shelter any-

where you can, even in someone’s car.

Trees are not true protection: they are just lightning rods and shed limbs onto you without warning.

If the storm impacts while you are driving:

Admit you are caught, as you cannot outrun it, so just look for a safer place to stop driving.

A highway overpass, the inside of any open garage, a gas station, or even a car wash will do.

Do not stop closely on the edge

of the highway unless you have to, as other drivers may drive into the rear of you trying to follow brake lights.

Do not stop on a bridge or a very low area.

The windshield may not blow entirely out, but side windows of-ten do.

The main idea in the car is to pro-tect your eyes, so, if possible, just lie face down in the back seat.

Cover the eyes of any children in the car with a jacket or even your body.

There is a wealth of storm infor-mation, including handy disaster preparedness supply lists, that can be accessed through www.ready.gov.

No one plans to fail, they just fail to plan.

Hello my friends.Well, today is the day!

By the time this goes to print, the election will be over and we will have a new or re-elected Presi-dent of the United States of America. Regardless of the outcome, I do hope we can support results and move on with our lives. Everything Ameri-ca stands for is in the bal-ance of us, the citizens, for our country.

If we don't show uni-fication, as a people,

how can we expect other countries to respect us or our leaders? As a citi-zen and business owner, I just hope that the days ahead are brighter and more hopeful, and that I can regain my sense of optimism of the fu-ture for myself and fam-ily. I feel blessed to be an American, and I know that the days ahead will be hard. It will take sacri-fice on everyone's part to get our nation out of this debt and financial crisis.

I fully expect to feel it in my own personal life and business, but I

hope the rewards will be worth the pain. There is a tremendous differ-ence in volunteering to sacrifice to help, and our government just taking without seeing results. I prefer to be informed and understand what I am being asked to do. This is a willingness to be a contributor for the bet-terment of all.

Our BHS Cardinal football team lost to Mil-lington this past Friday night. Congratulations to them for their efforts and providing our commu-nity with football fever

this year. We look for-ward to next year. Now that we have two other teams from our county, let’s support them and their efforts to go further. This only proves that our county has great athletic talent. It shines on all of us.

Danielle called me the day after hurricane San-dy's devastation to let me know the east side of O`ahu was under a tsuna-mi warning the night be-fore! Paul had to take the boys to higher ground. They live approximate-ly one mile from the

coast. This was from an earthquake in British Columbia. I know there was absolutely nothing I could do but pray for their safety. But she made the decision to take my worry factor away, too. That’s what we moth-ers and grandmothers do - worry, worry, worry about things we can't do anything about.

Happy Birthday to my stepdad, Emil Nemec, my niece, Olivia Williams, my sweet hubby, Neal, and one I'll always re-member during the holi-days, my Mom. All these

birthdays happen to be in the first week and a half of this month. So as you can see, we had a busy month and then the holi-day season was upon us. But now it's not as busy. My pop, as we called my stepdad, is in a graduated assisted living residence in Memphis. Olivia lives in Atlanta with her fam-ily. My Mother is not on this earthly plane, so the only one we can dote on is Neal. And I do wish him a big birthday wish for lots of love, joy, and devotion from all of us and especially me!

Hello everybody! I hope everyone is doing well this week! We are just trying to survive this beautiful weather we’re having; isn’t it beautiful?

I’d like to say thank you to Judy Whetsel and all her friends for mak-ing all those beautiful ar-rangements for every one of our residents! They were really beautiful. Of course, they loved the candy. Y’all are so sweet to always think of my folks out here, so thank you! It made them feel so special to get something

just for them.We want to celebrate

two birthdays this month. The first one is Mr. Bo Skinner, on Nov. 2, which we have already celebrated. We had a blast carrying on with him! Bo is one of our new residents. We all love Bo. He’s a mess, I’m here to tell you! He’s so much fun to have fun with. All I can say is, he’s brought some laughter to Heth-cox. Some time the folks tend to stay to their own, but Bo has lightened up that building. Everybody

loves him. So happy birthday again, Bo!

We also have Ms. Eve-lyn Fulks, whose birthday will be on Nov. 10 (which is also my 34th wedding anniversary). We are so glad to have Ms. Evelyn here with us at Dunlap. She is a sweetie, and has the sweetest and most fun family. Her daughter comes here on Thursday nights and always brings ice cream, and everyone sits around and eats ice cream. Sometimes they even eat some popcorn and they have a ball. All the other residents in McCalla love Thursday nights too because they know Carol is coming.

Thanks, Carol, for giving all these folks something to look forward to! When Carol comes, she just makes herself at home and we love it!

Now let me introduce you to two brand new residents. Welcome, Mr. Vernon Hendrickson. Pepaw is what every-body calls him, because he’s everybody’s Pepaw. I’m not sure how it’s spelled, but that’s what it sounds like to me. He doesn’t care as long as you talk to him. He loves to talk. Welcome, Pepaw!

We also have Mr. Jim Webb, who has been a joy, but unfortunately he spent all last week in the

hospital. He said they told him it has something to do with his heart. He’s an insulin dependent di-abetic, so I will ask if you will please start praying for Mr. Jim. He’s a sweet-ie, too. I’ve known Mr. Jim for about 15 years now. While he was in the hospital I talked to him several times, and toward the end, he just kept say-ing, “I just want to come home.” You are “home” now, Mr. Jim and we are

so glad to have you here with us at Dunlap Retire-ment Center!

To my faithful prayer warrior readers, please continue to pray for Ms. Beanie Beanblossom. She is now out of the hospital and in rehab, so please pray her home. She is so very dear to us here at Dunlap!

Until next week, have a blessed one and keep your eyes on Christ!

Hello Dear Readers.The leaves are so beau-

tiful. One tree in our yard has golden yellow leaves, and they have not yet began to fall. I think the leaves know when they fall to the ground that my sweet husband is stand-ing there ready to rake the leaves up and burn them. I have accused him

of shaking the trees so the leaves will fall off and he will have something to do. He has been working in our yard all last week. I think he has left the wheelbarrow out under the trees so they will fall in it, and he will not have to rake them.

Both our lawn mower and our tractor are not working right now. The lawn mower is in the shop, and the Kuboda

tractor is in our back yard. We don't know if it is worth fixing. It might be for sale, if you know how to work on tractors. We will make you a good offer.

Elm Grove United Methodist Church:The Fall Family Fun Night and Trunk or Treat was a terrific church and com-munity event. Thanks to Emily McCullough and all who help organize

and carry out the event.Anyone interested in

participating in an In-ternational Missions trip with Habitat for Human-ity in the summer of 2013 is welcome to attend a brief informational ses-sion, which will be held this Sunday following morning worship.

The communion of-fering last Sunday was given to Reelfoot Lake Ministries.

I have a little brother,He's as cute as he can be,He loves to tease everybody,And most of all it's me. He calls me all sorts of names,First it's Oink Oink Piggy,Then Old Milk Cow,Then he finishes with Old Black Sow. He's such a cute little fellow,Just as fat as he can be,Sometimes we call him Fatty, But he's just plain Richard to me.

Happy 65th, Baby Brother!Love, Your Big Sister

A poem written about my little brother when I was in the 3rd grade at Covington Grammar School.

Davis Bridge & Corinth

Tipton’s soldiers in the 7th Tennessee Cavalry fought the Federals at Davis Bridge, eight miles from Chewalla on Sept. 25.Some290Federalsofthe 11th Illinois and 15th Michigan were attacked at their camp and rout-ed. Union losses were 140 men killed and wounded including 63 prisoners; the 7th Tennessee suf-fered no casualties.

The 7th Tennessee were part of Gen. Earl Van Dorn’s 22,000 soldiers engaged in the Battle of Corinth, Miss. on Oct. 3-4. Van Dorn attacked the 23,000-man army commanded by Gen. William S. Rosecrans de-fending the fortifications at Corinth. After initialsuccess the Confederates

retired from the battle-field suffering nearly 4,000 casualties. Federal losses were 2,520. The 7th Tennessee covered the retreat of the Van Dorn’s army.

Randolph

Captain William W. Faulkner’s Confederate cavalry returned to Ran-dolph on Sept. 26. Near noon, Faulkner’s 100 troopers with a six-pounder cannon fired on the steamer John J. Roe. Soldiers and crewmen on the boat, armed with guns destined for the 6th Illinois Cavalry, returned fire and 5 Confederates were reported wounded or killed. One person on board the Roe was wounded.Anhour latera Union gunboat passed by shelling the area. On Sept. 30, the U. S. Pitts-burg arrived at Randolph to ‘protect the steamer

Ohio Belle and troops engaged in hauling away 6 cannon’ abandoned by the Confederates before Fort Pillow’s fall.

CovingtonA Federal force from

Fort Pillow composed of elements of the 72nd Il-linois Infantry and 2d Il-linois Cavalry converged on Covington Sept. 30. On the court square Unionists saw a Confed-erate flag flying from the Mitchell Hotel. A closerexamination found the hotel’s owner, Robert J. Mitchell, sitting on his porch with his rifle rest-ing on his lap. Mitchell told the Federal officer that he would shoot the first man who tried to take his flag down. Wish-ing to avoid bloodshed, a Union officer offered a compromise. The North-erner assured Mitch-ell that no Union flag

would be hoisted over Covington if the South-erner would take down the Confederate colors. Mitchell agreed and hauled down his flag.

Federal soldiers went into the office of the Covington Weekly Spy newspaper, removed the printing press and threw it down a well. Former Covington Mayor Dr. Lafayette Hill, Captain of Co. I, 7th Tennessee Cav-alry, was captured. Union ColonelF.A.Starringre-ported on the Covington raid:

“Captain Frank Moore’s Co. D, 2d Illi-nois Cavalry…behaved more like brigands than soldiers...they robbed an old Negro man who kept Gaines’ Ferry…of some $19.00; that too after hehad assisted in ferry-ing them over, charging them nothing…some eight of them robbed an

old woman…of $13.00 in silver—all she had…“A Captain (Lafay-

ette) Hill of Jackson’s rebel cavalry, was at the place on sick leave; he at first attempted to escape; finding it impossible, he surrendered himself to Captain (Samuel) DeGolyer, and while talking with him one of Captain Moore’s men, Private Gottleib Lippold, came up in an excited man-ner, said to Captain Hill,

‘Point your pistol at me, d—n you,’ and fired at him, the ball entering the thigh, making a serious flesh wound. Captain Moore, when he came up, said his man had done right; ‘He ought to have shot him through the head.’ I reprimanded Captain Moore…I men-tion the fact that the matter, if necessary, can be thoroughly investi-gated.”

Monday night has been cold and it rained a little today (about a tenth or two). We need it on the wheat we sowed last week. We did get through with our crop, and I'm glad! Now the hunting season is here!

Liz and Lyla came over last Wednesday and we made burlap table run-ners with a felt turkey at each end. We traced Lyla's handprints and cut them out in four different colors of felt and made the feathers. It was cute, and we will have her two-year handprint for years to come.

We had a big weekend! More than 40 church members went to the "Crossing Borders" re-treat at West Kentucky Youth Camp. Six women went to the Opryland Hotel, and everyone got home safely.

Wanda Townsend, De-lores Whaley, Judy Dun-

away, Paulette Graham, Deborah Cates and I left late Friday and got there about 9 p.m. We walked around a little and went to bed. Saturday morning we went to Monelle's, an antebellum home built by a railroad man in the 1800's, and had breakfast at a big table where the food was passed around. We had three other wom-en join us, and we enjoyed biscuits and gravy, cin-namon rolls, eggs, fried chicken, ham, turkey and sausage, cheese grits, fried potatoes, fried ap-ples and peach preserves - all for $14 and change. They have two locations and we went to the one out by the airport, close to the hotel. When we got back we went straight to the mall for a couple of hours, then went back to the room and rested and watched a movie.

That night we rode the boat inside the hotel, ate

and watched the danc-ing lights before having some ice cream and turn-ing in. We found a church right across the road and enjoyed their service and Sunday School. We stopped by the Loveless Cafe on the way home for lunch at a picnic table, then we shopped in Jack-son on the way home. We pulled into the church parking lot 10 minutes before evening services. It was a great weekend!

Joyce Scott is recover-ing from surgery, as well as Charlie Click. Larry Whaley II is not feeling well. So many are on our prayer list, as well as our servicemen and women and voters. Tomorrow is the day!

The Ladies Christmas Party at Laura Craft's home is Dec. 2, and I'm ready!

Happy birthday this week to Deborah Cates and Andrew Cates on

Nov. 3, to Addie Kidd and Tim Halford on the 4th, to Terry Wall and Palmer Hobson on the 5th, to Emmy Cates on the 6th, to Marlene Brown on the 7th, to Faye Shankle on the 9th and to Debbie Otts on the 10th!

Happy Anniversary to Chris and Trudy Max on Nov. 9!

Thanks for Reading" this week goes to Judy McCool, Dot Butler and Janice Smith. Sa-lute!

This week's Farmer's Almanac Quote: "Dip candle ends in hot wa-ter and then fit them into holders while the wax is soft.” I have to remember that at Christmas!

We are praying for the election tomorrow. We will know the outcome when you are reading this!

During the week of Octt. 22-26, our school held our annual Red Rib-bon Week to promote being drug free. This year’s theme was “Being drug free comes in cans: I “can”, you “can”, we “can” be drug free! This year our Student Council and Beta Club members joined forces so that Red Ribbon week also ben-efited the needs of our community by having teachers and students bring in canned goods each day.

Monday our students wore red to symbolize being drug free, Tuesday our students and staff promoted “walk away from drugs” by wearing mismatched socks and shoes, Wednesday our staff went all out for the 50th day of school by dressing in their best 50’s attire. Thursday’s theme of “be all you can be” was carried out with stu-dents and staff in camou-flage shirts and Friday we celebrated our annual fall carnival and dressed out in our favorite sports team shirts. Our staff and students had a great deal of school spirit and fun while promoting a

drug free lifestyle; how-ever, another important piece of this event was the service project for which student brought in canned goods. Our Beta Club and Student Council are offering a big thank you to every-one who participated for your donations helped to supply the Bread of Life Outreach Food Bank so they in turn can help feed the hungry in our com-munity.

The campaign was a huge success and we are so proud of how hard our students worked to make it all happen. We also would like to remind all students and parents of this week’s annual fall bookfair that will be open from November 5th to November 13th. Please join us for one of our family nights at the Bookfair on Tuesday No-vember 6th and Monday November 12th from 4:30 to 6:30PM each night. There are many more wonderful activities go-ing on at CIAA! Feel free to check out the great things your children are doing at our new website at ciaaknights.blogspot.com! Go Knights.

Strong opening act

By STEVE [email protected]

In a game shortened to six-min-ute quarters and a running clock by coach’s request, the Covington Chargers were dominant in a 55-0 win over Memphis Hillcrest in the opening round of the TSSAA Class 4A playoffs Friday at home.

The Chargers (11-0) put up 28 first-quarter points, turning a Kha-mal Pendelton interception on the game’s second play into a touch-down less than two minutes into the game.

Hunter Peery gave CHS another shot with a fumble recovery at the Viking 20-yard line on the first play from scrimmage on Hillcrest's next possession.

Johnston White skipped into the end zone from 18 yards out with the second of his six TDs on the

What: Covington (11-0) vs. Sheffield (7-4)Where: CovingtonWhen: Friday at 7 p.m.Key pwlayers: CHS - RB Johnston White, WR/DB Carlos Williams, RB Tyrone Tipton; SHS – RB Tarrance Dixon, QB Brandon Leachman, S Trevaughn KiddNotables: White has been all but unstop-pable lately, tying Covington's record for most touchdowns in a season last week. He's got 33 … Covington's defense has been just as impressive, holding Hillcrest to negative yardage in last week's round one win … Dixon, a senior, will be the focus of Covington's defense. He's had a huge year with 1,396 yards and 23 touchdowns, both team highs … Sheffield passes about as infrequently as Covington, so expect a run-heavy game … Don't expect the Knights to be a pushover like Hillcrest was last week. Sheffield beat Raleigh-Egypt, a team that gave Brighton some trouble this season, last week. The Knights lost to Mitchell, the top 4A team in Memphis, by just a point in September. What's next: The victor advances to the quarterfinals and plays the winner of the Mitchell-Trezevant game next Friday. Cov-ington would host with a win.

Brighton, Munford fall in first roundTrojans stop streaking CardinalsBy JEFF [email protected]

The 2012 football season was one of ebb and flow for Brighton.

After losing three of their first four games, the Cardinals won six straight to earn a two seed in the Class 6A state playoffs.

The flow started on Sept. 21 with a dramatic win over Millington.

Unfortunately for the Cardinals, Millington brought the ebb to town Friday night, beating the Cardinals 35-14 in the first round of the playoffs, ending Brighton's winning streak at six and season at 7-4.

The quarterback-running back combo of Eldon Timbs (119 yards passing, two touchdowns) and Anto-nio Webber (148 yards rushing, two touchdowns), plus some untimely penalties and turnovers, proved to be too much for Brighton to overcome.

After falling behind 14-0 midway through the second quarter, Brighton rallied.

Brighton quarterback Brady Stew-art hit Antonio Dickerson for a 36-yard TD pass with 6:38 left in the sec-ond quarter to trim the lead to 14-7.

Trailing 21-7, Brighton's Montavo Terry recovered a Millington (6-5) fumble at the Trojan 33. Three plays later, Blue Currie scored on a one-yard run to cut the lead to seven again.

But it was all Millington after that. A 40-yard touchdown pass from

Timbs to George Odum pushed the

lead to 28-14 midway through the third.

A fake punt by Brighton was unsuc-cessful late in the third quarter, two drives ended on downs in the fourth and Patrick Macon intercepted a Stewart pass and returned it 24 yards for a score with 5:29 left to provide the final margin.

“Penalties hurt us and we couldn't get into a rhythm,” said an emotional Brighton head coach Will Wolfe fol-lowing the game while giving hugs to several seniors in tears.

“(It was lack of) execution on our part. They played good. Coach (Chris) Michael did a great job of get-

Top-seeded JNS dispatches MunfordBy JEFF [email protected]

Munford gave the top-seeded and unde-feated Indians a scare Friday night in the first round of the Class 5A state playoffs.

The eighth-seeded Cougars led 7-3 in the second quarter and trailed by just a touch-down at the half, but North Side scored 21 straight points in the third quarter and ended visiting Munford's season with a 45-17 win.

Munford (5-6) tried to gain some momen-tum with an onside kick to start the second half. North Side (11-0) recovered and took a 24-10 lead moments later.

Munford gave up the ball on downs on its next possession, and North Side quarter-back Adam Craig, who rushed for 175 yards and threw for 101 more, broke a 62-yard touchdown run to push the lead to 31-10 midway through the third.

“JNS is a great team and has a great quar-terback,” Munford coach Matt Saunders said. “Their team speed was just too much for us. Our seniors gave it their best shot and played their hearts out. I told them after the game that we had nothing to be ashamed of.”

Early on, Munford's defense managed to keep North Side's high-octane offense in check for the most part.

D'Marious Exum, who had a monster last game with 196 yards on 27 carries, scored on a 16-yard run early in the second quarter to stake Munford to a 7-3 lead.

COMMENTARY

John: Always ready with an answerBy RALPH KELLEYSpecial to The Leader

John 1:19-27

It is thought that John the Apos-tle was first a disciple of John the Baptist before he was a disciple and then an apostle of Jesus.

The Sanhedrin was the official religious ruling class which was prob-ably the “Jews” that instigated this inquiry into John the Baptist. But why would they do this? It is my think-ing that the report of John’s success had finally reached Jerusalem, and that unthinkably, he was preaching that all of the citizens of the nation of Israel needed to repent of their ways and to be baptized. Was not Israel the chosen people? Why was this man John demanding that Israel repent? There had been rumors that John might even be the Messiah; and was not the noble Sanhedrin God’s chosen instru-ments for locating and put an end to any false Messiah’s? It is my belief that there were two groups of men that came from Jerusalem; the first group made up of the Sadducees and the second delega-tion was made up of Pharisees. Although these two sects hated

each other, they did seem to have a common cause against John the Baptist. And in the usual way of any ruling class, they attempted to have John incriminate himself by asking, “who are you?”. And John correctly confessed that he was not the Messiah. “What then”

they asked, “are you Elijah?”, “are you the Prophet?” Each time John evades their trap and denies either. This also proves that John did not know or realize that he was the one prophesied in the Old Testament that would come in the “spirit and power of Elijah”. Once again the religious skeptics ask John, trying to

pin him down, “Who are you, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”. John answered their questions in the negative, now responding to their last in-quiry, he answers in the positive; “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: make straight the way of the Lord”. By quoting the prophecy from Isaiah, John lays claim to being the herald as he ap-plied this prophecy to himself.

Now those who represented the Pharisees get into the program, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”. It was the baptiz-ing and not the preaching that

caused the greatest puzzlement in John’s questioner’s. They may have been thinking of the mass cleansing of the whole nation as mentioned in Ezekiel 36:25, “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols“ and Ezekiel 37:23, “They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detest-able things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will de-liver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God“. Their questions show that they had totally missed the sense that John was actually the forerunner of the Messiah, not the literal Elijah that they had expected.

John stated that he was baptiz-ing people, and the reason was that the Messiah had already arrived, but had not publicly revealed Himself, therefore, it was appropriate that the herald should be about the business of cleansing the nation through repentance and baptism, that was God’s way of making ready a people prepared to receive the Messiah. And John answers again, “but there stands One among you whom you do not know“. And John, humbly states, “It is He who, coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.”

Church Bulletins

The Word became fl esh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John testifi ed concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ”) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. John 1:14-18

2012-13 HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL PREVIEW

By JEFF [email protected]

It's been a while since the Munford Lady Cougar basketball team has en-tered a season with realistic goals of a state tournament berth.

Third-year head coach Steve Poin-dexter would never come out and say it, but considering his team returns all five starters, including the dis-trict player of the year, from a team that won 19 games and came within an overtime loss of advancing to the sectionals last year, it's pretty obvious what his goal is.

“On paper, with everybody coming back, expectations are obviously pretty high,” Poindexter said. “But the thing about our girls … They know last year doesn't mean anything.”

Another sign that Poindexter's goals are high is his decision to schedule Memphis Central in the season opener on Tuesday at home.

The Lady Warriors have been one of the best teams in the state for years. They have a player who has already signed with national champ Baylor and advanced to the Class AAA state quarterfinals a year ago.

“That's the kind of team we want to measure ourselves against,” Poin-dexter said. “We want to see how we measure up.”

Senior Robneisha “Bird” Lee will lead the way for the Lady Cougars this year.

A slashing forward who can handle the ball on the perimeter, Lee averaged 14 points and eight rebounds during the regular season. In the postseason she scored 18 a game and was named the district regular season and tourna-ment MVP.

Munford's offense revolves around Lee getting to the hole and perimeter players making threes. Seniors Alex Turner and Shaliyah Wiggins, as well as sophmore Kierra Richardson, can all knock it down from beyond the arc.

Senior Lauren Zvolanek mans the

post and does the dirty work around the basket.

Junior point guard Kierra Webb is the teams' fifth returning starter.

A pair of sophomores, Lindsey Owen and Precious Mills, will play key roles off the bench.

Munford's fortunes have improved since Poindexter took over two sea-sons ago.

However, he says the program's suc-cess is not about a coach coming in, waving a magic wand and producing wins.

“It's not about the coach,” Poindex-ter said. “It's about these young ladies deciding what they want the program to be. That's special. They're willing to put in the work.”

In his first season as head coach at Brighton last year, Darryle Rogers made quite an impression.

The Cardinals won 16 games and came within a buzzer-beater loss to Bartlett in the region semifinals of making the sec-tionals.

This year Rogers' team will have a much different look.

The team's top two scorers last year, Johnathan Stark and Demetrius Dyson, are gone, both having transferred to coun-ty rivals.

Stark, a senior point guard, is now at Munford.

Dyson, a senior forward who missed the second half of the season with an injury, will suit up for Covington this year.

Moses Harper and Kameron Foster, two other players who saw a lot of action last season, also transferred to Munford.

Seven seniors graduated as well. “That's (the seniors graduating) going to

be our biggest loss,” Rogers said. “That's a lot of maturity and experience on the floor we lost.”

Rogers will depend a lot on 6-3 sopho-more guard/forward Lorenzo Hunt, who is the most experienced player among those returning.

“He's a utility guy who can play differ-ent positions,” Rogers said. “We'll be look-ing for a lot of minutes out of him.”

Juniors Tyvon Cooper, Jericho Williams, Will Curry, Tanner McDivitt and Milton Hardy return after seeing limited action a season ago.

Rogers said freshman John Francis is expected to see plenty of time on floor as well.

“He's going to have be big off the bench,” Rogers said, “giving our guys some rest.”

Last year the Cardinals depended on Stark, Dyson and an experience group of seniors.

“We're young,” Rogers said. “We're looking for a big-time player in this group. We're going to win some, and we're going to lose some. The big thing will be how come back after losses … and wins.”

Cardinals will field very young team

White added two more TDs in the quarter with a 69-yard scoring pass re-ception from T.A.Watson and a 25-yard scoring run. He had 118 yards on 10 carries in the game.

Turnovers set up two

second-period scores. Jalen Henderson re-

White added his final TDs of the night with runs of three and 11 yards to cap off the turnovers.

White scored six touch-

downs and now has 33 on the season, tying the record set by Darron White in 2000.

Williams closed the first-half scoring with a 52-yard punt return for a score and a 48-0 lead.

Davian Bates got the fi-nal TD of the night on a two-yard run. Jordan Hill came up with an inter-ception at the Viking 20

with less than two min-utes left] in the game.

“I thought we execut-ed very well in all three phases of the game,” Covington coach Marty Wheeler said. “We came out ready to play.”

first quarter, Brighton had a chance to tie the game, but a fumble at the Millington seven ended the drive.

Brighton got to the

Millington nine-yard line trailing 28-14 with 11:47 left in the game, but the drive ended when a fourth-and-goal play was unsuccessful.

Dickerson had an im-pressive final game,

rushing for 95 yards on 14 carries and racking up 90 yards receiving. Stewart, also playing his final game in a Cardinal uniform, threw for 173 yards.

seed in the West Quad-rant, travels to German-town tomorrow night for round two of the play-offs.

down drive and then a 56-yard interception re-turn for a touchdown by Jerry Neylon to push the lead to 17-7.

Tyler Gray kicked a 37-yard field goal before halftime to close the gap.

Munford didn't score again until Hunter Hard-en threw a TD pass to Antonio Moore midway through the fourth quar-ter.

Marcus Maxwell an-swered with a 42-yard TD run for North Side, which moves on to host Hamilton tomorrow night in round two.

Harden completed 12 of 28 passes for 164 yards in his final game and Moore caught six passes for 85 yards.

“I was pleased with the way our football team played, especially in the first half,” Saunders said. “We had a great game plan and the kids executed it perfectly for 24 minutes … I really felt walking off the field that we gave it our best and I wouldn't have done anything differently. Not one. And I can take satis-faction in that.”

I first wrote this column on Dec. 23, 2010. It was then meant to be a “heads ups” to the moms and dads who were pondering what to get their children for Christmas. It did not give them much time to act or react to Santa Claus.

It may be a little bit early this year but that is not all bad. We just finished the first of two Juvenile Deer Hunts with the second hunt to be after Christmas. Any time that you help a youngster in the outdoors, it is not too early. So here goes, moms and dads, take note and also remember the hunter safety classes that will start up again after the first of the year. Stay with your son or

daughter and take the class with them. It and you could make a difference.

Each year moms and dads ponder on what to give the chil-dren for Christ-mas and m o r e o f t e n than not it might

turn out to be a gun. When the children are young, the gun could be a cap pistol or a water gun, as they get old-er the ammunition changes to BB’s and pellets or maybe arrows instead. When chil-dren or grandchildren get

old enough to participate in the family hunt they are usually shooting a small gauge shotgun or small cali-ber rifle.

It does not make any dif-ference. These are tools and all tools could be used in a negative or accidental way that might hurt not only the owner but some one else too. I know we all have to learn but it is and always will be to teach the chil-dren the safety they need to know when they are at the cap gun or water gun stage.

If you have picked out a particular nice looking rifle or shotgun for one or more of your children, I am re-writing a set of safety rules adopted by the Internation-

al Defensive Pistol Associa-tion. These rules would and do apply to all firearms re-gardless of caliber, gauge, length or ammunition. Re-member: A gun can be a very safe tool; it depends on the user. Here are the rules. If you do not access to oth-ers, there are only four.

Rule No. 1: The gun is al-ways loaded.

Rule No. 2: Never point a gun at something you’re not prepared to destroy.

Rule No. 3: Always be sure of your target and what is behind it.

Rule No. 4: Keep your fin-ger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.

Please teach not only your children how to safely

use guns, but please correct anyone that is not practicing safety first. It is a small price to pay to save a life. Make Tennessee the safest state in the nation.

Thanks for all the phone calls and messages. They sure are picking up nicely from opening day and open-ing weekend.
