Atoka gets $1.1M safe room grantBy ECHO DAYeday@covingtonleader.com

City leaders made a big announcement on Tuesday – Atoka has received a $1.1 mil-lion grant to build a safe room.

The 9,000 square foot facility will be able to house more than 1,300 people in an emergency and will be the new home of the Atoka Police Department, said Town Ad-ministrator Brian Koral.

"It's one of the first safe rooms in the state to be ap-

proved as a multi-use facility," he said. "It's a building that will be in use every day."

The facility, funded by the Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency (FEMA), the Tennessee Emergency Man-agement Agency (TEMA) and a local cash match, will be designed to withstand an earthquake and the 250 miles per hour wind speeds of an F-4 tornado.

"It will be able to stand up to almost anything we'll see here," Koral said.

He also said the city will be required to pay some of the cost because the entire facility – such as HVAC areas and the server room – cannot be used to house residents during an emergency.

Final details of its planned use are still undecided, but Koral said city leaders plan to open it up in the event of a tornado or severe storm warn-ing.

"You really don't want people driving for 30 minutes if they're in imminent danger

of a tornado."The facility will not be used

for long-term housing in the event of a disaster, but will only be for short-term use. Koral said five square feet of space is allocated per per-son and the safe room will also accommodate people in wheelchairs and those who are bedridden.

The building will be part of the town's master plan for municipal offices, a plan that includes a possible move for the public works facilities and

a facelift for the existing Town Hall structure.

"This is just a piece of the larger project," he said.

The safe room will likely be located behind Town Hall on Atoka-McLaughlin.

"We have a three-year time limit, which isn't a tight time-line itself, but there are other factors involved in the master plan."

City leaders formally ac-cepted the grant in Nashville Monday.

At the Field of Flags event Friday, members of the military, as well as retired servicemembers, posted fl ags prior to the annual event that raises funds for the Exchange Club-Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse.

Ceremony plants colors for eventBy JEFF IRELANDjireland@covingtonleader.com

Several local veterans were honored last Friday at Patriot Park in Coving-ton as the Covington Exchange Club kicked of its “A Field of Flags” pro-gram with a ceremony.

“Overall, the response was tremen-dous,” said Jeff Phillips, the Exchange Club's secretary and organizer of the event. “We learned some things we'll do different next year, but it was a great event.”

Lt. Commander Bill Jim Davis, re-tired from the U.S. Navy, planted in a flag in honor of World War II veterans.

Lt. Junior Grade Frank McBride (U.S. Navy, retired) represented the Korean War and Master Sgt. Kelly Hanson (U.S. Air Force, retired) repre-sented the Vietnam War.

Yoeman Senior Chief Patsy Moore (U.S. Navy, retired) and Interior Com-munications Electrician Chief Richard Moore (U.S. Navy, retired) planted flags in honor of veterans from Desert Storm/Desert Shield.

Specialist Cody Irwin (U.S. Army National Guard) represented Op-eration Iraqi Freedom and Sgt. Matt Caldwell (130th MP Company, Army National Guard) represented Opera-

tion Enduring Freedom. Samara Tate of Scout Troop 43009

in Ripley and Staff Sgt. Shane Perry placed flags in honor of all veterans.

A display of American flags with each flag representing the life of a patriot will be presented, whether it be a war veteran, active military person-nel, National Guard member, reservist, firefighter or law enforcement officer who serves in our community today, or in memory of those who have served in the military of their country, or someone who has lost their life in the line of duty.

For each person honored or remem-bered, an American flag will be placed bearing the honoree’s name and the donor’s name. Each flag will be three by five feet in size and attached to an eight-foot flag pole.

Flags will fly Nov.1-14 to celebrate the Veteran’s Day holiday at the fol-lowing locations: Atoka, Brighton, Covington, and Munford. The flag will be the property of the donor after Nov. 14.

The cost of the flag will be $25. For more information, contact any

Exchange Club member or the Carl Perkins Center at 476-1515. The dead-line is Oct. 26.

Early voting begins in Covington, MunfordBy JEFF IRELANDjireland@covingtonleader.com

Early voting in the November general election started yesterday in Tipton County and will continue until Nov. 1.

The Tipton County Election Com-mission Office, located at 113 East Church St. in Covington, and the Munford Municipal Board Room at 70 College St., will be open for voters Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Tuesdays and Thursdays (8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and Saturdays (8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.).

Neil Bell, Tipton County's adminis-trator of elections, said early voting is becoming more and more popular.

“We do encourage people to vote early,” Bell said. “Frankly, it relieves a lot of stress on us on election day … On election day, there are usually long lines in the morning, at noon and about 5 or 5:30 when people get off work. Those are the busiest times.”

Several district lines were redrawn recently, which could be another reason for people to take advantage of early voting.

“You know, some people don't like the redrawn district lines,” Bell said, noting that the percentage of people who vote earlier increases every elec-tion. “You can go to Covington or Muford and it's easier on everybody.”

The race for president is of course garnering the most attention as the Nov. 6 election nears.

But there are also a lot of local races on the ballot for Tipton County voters to consider.

Incumbent Brighton Mayor Jeff Scott is being challenged by Earl Kin-ney Bridges.

Five people – Sarah Crocker, Phil-lip Mathis, Melissa Sartain, George Smith and James Wyatt – are running for four Brighton alderman slots in Brighton.

In Covington, there will be a con-tested race for District 1 alderman between incumbent Shelvie Rose and Minnie Bommer, who ran for mayor several years ago.

Down in Atoka, Walker Adams, Brett Giannini, Bobby Hutchison, Richard Kiphut, Chris McConnell and Bradley Ross are running for three alderman seats.

Munford Parks & Rec-reation is hosting "Touch-a-Truck" - with children's activities and prizes - on Saturday, Oct. 20 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Valentine Park on Beaver Road.

The event is designed to allow children to touch and explore emergency vehicles, race cars, trucks and heavy machinery, and to learn what pur-pose many of the vehicles serve in our community.

Vehicles of all types - including the Pink Heals fire truck - will be on site

with various staff and equipment operators present for your children to ask questions and satisfy their curiosities. Photo opportunities will also be available.

There is also a "horn-free" time starting at 12:30 p.m. for children with special needs and/or sensitive ears.

Instead of an admis-sion fee, MPR is asking for a donation of one canned good or boxed meal per person to help supply the local food

pantries. Donations will also be accepted for the Pink Heals Foundation to aid in the healing of those with breast cancer

and funding awareness and research of breast cancer.

Editor’s note: This week we are continuing a feature called Q&A. Through this feature we hope to help you get to know your neighbors, government officials and others in the community. Today we are publishing a chat with

Covington High School senior tailback Johnston White. He's having a huge year, as is his team, which is 8-0 and ranked second in the state.

Q: When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?A: Probably an NBA player. I used to like bas-ketball more than football. Now it's the other way around.

Q: What person had the biggest influence on you growing up?A: My parents and my brother. They always push me to keep my grades up and work hard. They always made me play with people older than me. To get to a higher level than people my age.

Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?A: I like to shoot pool. I'm good at pool.

Q: I understand you gave your mom (Brenda White) the game ball a few weeks ago at the Crock-ett County game. Tell us about that.A: She had a stroke. She had been in the hospital for like two weeks. They didn't know if she was going to be able to come to the game. She asked, but she didn't know. She didn't tell me she was going to come. I played it for her.

Q: Tell the Charger fans out there why you guys are going to win a state championship this year.A: We worked too hard. From the end of last year (when Covington lost in the state semifinals) we've been going hard ever since. It hurt being so close and

not making it to the end. We've been together and we've been a team.

GOVERNMENT

Raises proposed for Covington mayor, boardBy JEFF IRELANDjireland@covingtonleader.com

Covington Mayor David Gordon and the Covington aldermen will be getting a raise if an ordinance that passed on first reading earlier this month passes twice more in the coming weeks.

The ordinance, which would boost Gordon's annual salary from $55,000 to $75,000 and aldermen's monthly pay from $400 to $600, passed on first read-ing Oct. 8 at the Board of Mayor and Aldermen's bi-monthly meeting.

“It (the raise) wasn't expected by me,” Gordon said when reached for com-ment yesterday. “They (the aldermen) said they wanted to do it to get it in line with cities like Brownsville.”

Gordon also said the aldermen cited the fact that several people who work for the city currently have higher sala-ries than the mayor.

Covington Fire Chief Jerry Craig

($62,358), Public Works Director Robert Simpson ($60,840), Water Quality Di-vision Head Harvey Wilson ($60,195) and Recorder/Treasurer Tina Dunn ($59,800) are among the city's employ-ees who make more than the mayor.

The ordinance will have to pass read-ings on Oct. 23 and Nov. 13 before it is passed.

In other matters:• Officials from Applebee's, which

is scheduled to open in Covington in December, requested to have the hours during which alcohol can be sold changed. An ordinance passed on first reading Oct. 8 that will change last call from 1 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. and closing time from 1:30 to 2 a.m.

• Gordon said the city recently re-ceived a $250,000 state park and recre-ation grant. He said plans to utilize the money will be discussed at the board meeting on Oct. 23.

Locals compete in cage matchesBy JESSICA COOKEjcooke@covingtonleader.com

Fisher’s Bang Gym of Horn Lake, Miss., hosted a local mixed martial arts cage fighting event Satur-day night which featured Covington fighters Dan-iel Byram and Ahmad Sanders of Jere Mason’s High Octane Fighting Championship team.

Byram, with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses, competed for the Bang Fighting Championship Lightweight title against Bang’s own Zach “Ar-kansas” Wallace, who held a win-loss record of 5-4.

The title fight was a short match. The more experienced Wallace was able to catch Byram in a triangle choke. Instead of getting both arms free

of the hold, Byram left one arm in and became trapped, thus ending the fight and allowing Wal-lace to keep his title.

Byram admitted he knew the proper tech-nique but was unable to execute it.

“I got caught not pay-ing attention,” he said. “I’ve just got to start hav-ing better muscle memo-ry.”

High Octane owner and coach Jere Mason said Byram has a lot of talent, and the fight was a good experience for him.

The second fight fea-turing Team High Octane was also in the Light-weight division.

Ahmed Sanders, with 1 win and no losses, de-cided only days before the event to participate.

Sanders usually fights in a lower weight class, but volunteered for the ex-perience when opponent Chase Mann, of Mem-phis Judo and Jiu-Jitsu, was scheduled to be un-opposed.

Sanders’ fight lasted the full three rounds. He maintained enough tech-nique and endurance to last through the rounds, but in the end Sanders was simply overpowered due to Mann’s greater size and strength.

“I’m just glad to be able to compete,” said a very black-and-blue Sanders. “I’m a very competitive person and even though I didn’t get the win, I got experience out of it. Hopefully I’ll be able to learn from it and move forward.”

Johnny Crigger, Terry Colin, Gary Fodor and Robert Forbess will com-pete for three alderman spots in Munford.

In Gilt Edge, Billy Fleming, Stephen Fletch-er and Holly McDow are running for councilman.

Gilt Edge voters will also decide on a refer-endum to increase the

number of councilman in the town from three to five. The result of that referendum will dictate how many are named to the town's council.

The state race figuring to garner the most at-tention is for District 81 state representative.

Republican Debra Moody, Democrat

Conneye Albright and Tommy Hill, who is run-ning as an independent, will battle for the seat vacated by the retired Jimmy Naifeh.

VOTINGContinued from A1

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2012 ▪ A4

The best candidate?

Dear editor, I take exception to Mr. Hardin’s

suggestion that the citizens of Tip-ton County should support a can-didate just because of their political party affiliation. Elected officials in state positions have a much more direct impact on the lives of the cit-izens they represent, so voting for people who will be there when you need them to answer your ques-tions or help you with knowledge of where to go with a problem is important. State elected officials have a direct impact on local econ-omies, schools, and infrastructure which affect the daily lives of the citizens within the communities. In your letter you imply that Deb-ra Moody is the best person for the citizens of Tipton County because she is a Republican. However, when the Republican Party held their open forum for their primary candidates, she DID NOT attend. When Dyersburg State Commu-nity College held the only open fo-rum for all the candidates for State Representative, Debra Moody DID NOT attend. Either the job of be-ing a State Representative is not important to her, or maybe she is riding the coattails of the Repub-lican Party. The issues from her website that she wants to address are mostly national agenda taken

directly from the Republican plat-form. Can she not think for herself and answer questions on the state level? We the citizens of Tipton County want the BEST person for the job of State Representative in the 81st district and that is NOT necessarily the Republican candi-date.

The bugle and the muffler: the evolution of

media bias

Dear editor, The bugle has been used by our

military since the beginning of our Republic. Each morning at mili-tary bases, the troops are rallied to begin the day. In battle the bugle is the key communication tool used to signal strategy – “charge,” “cease fire,” “retreat,” etc. Re-member the old western movies when the fort was about to fall to the Indians? The sound of the Cal-vary’s bugle signaled the arrival of re-enforcements.

During this time-frame the news media began its evolution as our key communication tool. Some newspapers were named “Bugle.. Early American journalism used primarily the printed word. The

writer had time to review his work before “going to press.” He held his profession to a high degree of accuracy. He accepted the free-dom of the press along with the responsibility to tell the truth – the whole truth with both sides of a story without personal bias. Then came radio broadcasts of current news events. Again professional journalists delivered the facts read from a script that had been prop-erly edited. Listeners felt assured they were hearing complete cover-age of a news event.

Biased reporting was virtually non-existent until the years of tele-vision. Even though the words were scripted and properly edited, the facial inflections of the reporter revealed personal bias. Pursed lips, an untimely smile, raised eye-brows, or rolling of the eyes, were early symptoms of the disease known as media bias. This disease that has infected this once-great profession has recently spread to the attitude of acceptance by the public – and by the media. The pride of workmanship held by the staff running the printing press seems lost in our current environ-ment of immediate information. Social media blogs, falsehoods via email, has muddied the water even more.

There is now a degree of non-re-

Imagine peering through the eyes of youngsters and reminisc-ing appropriately, we believed we lived in the capital of the world residing in the metropolis of Rose-mark. Memphis was just a far off country suburb, but Millington was closer and if an emergency ar-rived maybe, just maybe we could selectively visit. However South-ern folks are happy to return to the comforts and safety of home.

Going back what seemed like several centuries, there was a time that was safe for gully jumpers to tour the upcountry side without fear or fright pertaining to safety. I can’t say what is right or wrong, but I can tell how it was many decades ago. Every-one I grew up with was blessed with not having anything. Is that a fact and please explain to someone that has been under a significant smelly root cellar just that does that signify? Simple. Think about it, if’n you got nuthin’ and you get sumpin’ it just makes you appreciate it more. Now study on that and maybe you can understand why rednecks are so smart. But don’t let it out of the bag as ’em carpetbaggers will try to copy us.

When is the last time you were kicked back in a sea grass laced, rickety, straight backed chair un-der a Maple tree in the front yard

spinning tales to your young’ uns or gran’ kids?

Whoop a story on ’em how the white-belted Hampshire hogs rooted under the wire fence seek-ing refuge from their incarceration. Explain how you had to stick the white rock hens under previous orange crates now renamed back yard ‘chicken coops’.

You were asked, “how did you know where to go when vis-iting?” “Did you ever get lost?” The answers are very simple. Re-plying with, “we knew every family by name within a million miles or so it seemed.” Even when the great South-ern General Nathan Bedford Forrest came galloping through with his all his troops

he didn’t get lost. Before the guv’mint

intervened and started telling us how to run things, rednecks had it all ‘figgered’ out. A hun’ert years ago there were no road signs. Ad-ditionally, there were no house numbers hammered into the fac-ing with twelve penny nails over the front door or by the window sill. Mailboxes painting requiring zippers, number of one eyed goats, the date you had your adenoids re-moved and your Momma’s maiden name for proof of depositing your mail was a thing of the future.

Mr. Robert Williams ‘carried the mail’ as we say in our won-

derful Southernese. It was nev-er messed up or mis-delivered. Why? Because he was the best there ever was or possibly will be. Mr. Robert knew where everyone lived, all the kids’ names and the dogs moniker, even the great uncle twice removed. Absolutely noth-ing ever got lost. Why? Cause the guv’mint stayed out of his way.

Years ago the post office was located in the brick store building in Kerrville as you see the lettering on the Densford store. Mr. Robert picked up, sorted and carried the mail to the appropriate addresses in the Rosemark area and beyond which read; Route one, or RFD #one with Kerrville at the bottom. That was all that was needed. Of course after the guv’mint stuck its nose in our biz’ness, screwed up and relocated the same post office to Millington changing the requirements. The changes made just about as much sense as try-ing to install waders on a tadpole. Now you need numbers, road ad-dressees, what color are Formosa Christmas trees and what do the Arabs prefer, one or two hump camels? Please don’t forget a sev-enteen digit zip code as it is very important. All of this to get junk mail and bills delivered. Maybe it was country simple back many years ago.

Write Me a Letter and Tell Me I’m Getting Mail Better………..GLORY!!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SEE LETTERS, PAGE A5

Us and the mail were not lost

By JAMIE WOODSONState Collaborative on Reforming Education

Tennessee is making important strides in improving public education, but often we don’t recognize what is happening inside classrooms, schools, and school districts to realize success. Fortunately, there are important proof points in our state for what works.

These best practices were evident in the schools and districts represented at the 2012 SCORE Prize event, which took place this past week in front of teachers, principals, parents, and students at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Tennessee Gov-ernor Bill Haslam, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, and award-winning singer/song-writer Phil Vassar all helped recognize schools and school districts in Tennessee that have most dramatically improved student achievement.

From strong leadership and effective teaching to interventions and student tracking, the success can be seen in the data. Covington High School, part of Tipton County Schools and the SCORE Prize high school winner, has a three-year TVAAS average of 50.7 in algebra I, meaning the school is helping its students make tremendous gains in that subject. The school also increased its college-going rate by 10 percent from 2009 to 2010, the latest year for which data are available.

SCORE Prize district finalist Tipton County Schools has an ACT average of 20, meaning the school is helping its students prepare for post-secondary. The school has a 58 percent pass rate on Advanced Placement exams and a 62 percent college-going rate.

While the Prize winners receive monetary awards, the most impactful part of the recognition is the opportunity to highlight best practices and learn from the winners and finalists about what works. There are four clear themes and practices that all SCORE Prize winners exhibit:•Focus on great teaching. All SCORE Prize

winners have placed an emphasis on recruiting, supporting and retaining effective teachers. Teach-ers are given leadership positions, provided with professional learning opportunities and given chances to collaborate and plan. For example, Tip-ton County Schools offers competitive pay with neighboring Memphis City and Shelby County to ensure they attract and retain effective teachers.•Strong school leadership. Each SCORE Prize

winner has an effective instructional leader in the building. These principals are not simply build-ing managers. They are in classrooms, supporting teachers and offering encouragement, guidance, and vision. Covington’s principal, Peggy Murdock makes smart decisions about how best to allocate resources – both human capital and financial – to help prepare students for life. .•High standards and expectations. A clear

theme at each school is high standards. Teachers and administrators have high expectations for stu-dents, and regardless of socio-economic status or background, believe all can achieve at high levels. Students at SCORE Prize finalist schools set their own goals for high performance and are provided with needed supports, such as tutoring and daily opportunities for intervention and enrichment. In Tipton County, educators have set the expectation that they are preparing their students not only to be successful in Tennessee, but to be globally competitive. •Smart use of data. Finally, the schools and

districts are using student data to guide and drive instruction in the classroom. They know that good data can be used to assess student understanding of content and provide teachers and parents with the tools they need to support students. Many teachers track student progress, share it with stu-dents and parents, and make informed decisions about teaching based on that information.

We have tremendous work to do before every Tennessee student graduates high school prepared for college and the workforce. But the lessons learned from the 2012 SCORE Prize winners and finalists highlight the fact that Tennessee’s sig-nificant efforts to improve public education are paying off for students.

Jamie Woodson is President and CEO of the State Collaborative on Reforming Education (SCORE).

If you work for a medium-size or large organization, you may well be entering that time of year known as Open Enrollment. While it may not be as dramatic as the “other” election that’s arriving in a few weeks, Open Enrollment will provide you with some choices that can have a big impact on your life.

Depending on how your orga-nization administers its benefits program, you may be able to make changes to several im-portant areas during open enrollment. Here are three of them:

• Life insur-ance — If your em-ployer offers free or inexpensive life insur-ance, you should al-most certainly accept it. But if your situation has changed since you first received life insur-ance as an employee benefit — that is, if you’ve gotten married or had children or bought a house — you may well need to supplement your employer’s policy with outside in-surance. Also, make sure the ben-eficiary designations on your em-ployer’s policy are still correct.

• Disability insurance — Almost everyone recognizes the need for life insurance. But that’s

not necessarily the case with dis-ability insurance — which is unfor-tunate, because a worker’s chance of becoming disabled is 2 to 3.5 times greater than dying, accord-ing to A.M. Best, the credit-rating company. If your employer offers disability coverage, you should probably take it — but, as is the case with life insurance, you may need to supplement your employ-er-sponsored plan with a policy of your own. To determine how much

protection you need, add up your monthly living ex-penses and then compare the total to your current disability insurance cover-age. You may well discov-er a “gap” that should be filled.

• 401(k) plan — If you can make changes to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan (such as a 403(b) plan for

nonprofits or a 457(b) for state and local governments), you’ll want to consider two key areas: your con-tribution amount and your invest-ment mix. As a general rule, it’s a good idea to contribute as much as you can afford to your retirement plan because your money can grow on a tax-deferred basis. So, if you can afford it, or if you’re an-ticipating a salary increase for next

year, consider bumping up your retirement plan contribution.

As for your retirement plan’s investment portfolio, take a close look at it. Does it still reflect your risk tolerance and time horizon? These two factors will change over the years, so you’ll want to make sure your investment mix keeps pace. Also, is your account proper-ly diversified, or have you tended to concentrate your dollars in just one or two types of investments? While diversification cannot guar-antee a profit or protect against a loss, it can help you reduce the impact of volatility on your hold-ings.

You should have several weeks in which to study your benefit plan options, so take the time you need to make the right choices. You may also want to consult with a profes-sional financial advisor — some-one who can help you determine your life insurance and disability protection needs as well as review your retirement plan’s investment mix to ensure it’s still appropriate.

lettersContinued from A4porting or under-reporting by the mainstream media. To somewhat satisfy the duty as journalists reporting the news they are using another key communication tool - the muffler. A muffler, as you know is used to silence or deaden the sound of an automobile en-gine. Likewise, current events are sometime silenced. When reporting an occurrence that seems unfavor-able to democrats or liberals the muffler is used to quietly “x” the box. Conversely, an uncomplimentary comment made by a republican or conservative can-didate is amplified by the use of the traditional bugle – repeatedly (like every morning at military bases). Media-bias favoring democrats has been evident for years. However, it has never been so blatant as now, during this election. It is as though they are desper-ate for an Obama second term. Maybe a class-action lawsuit against the Associated Press, the alphabet net-works, and the New York Times would be appropri-ate at this time. Their response to the charge of jour-nalistic malpractice might answer a few questions: Why are there so many (75-85 percent) journalists supporting a president who admittedly seeks to “fun-damentally change America?” Do they understand the change sought by Mr. Obama will jeopardize our liberty and freedom? One of these freedoms will like-ly be the freedom of the press. Do they honestly want to trade the bugle for a muffler? Journalists should be among the first to remove their heads from the sand -- and protect their exposed rear ends.

For more information or confirmation about media-bias go to Media Research Center’s web page at www.MRC.com.

The time for “Trick or Treat” is nearing. It is a fun time of year, when we hear the knocking of little goblins and princesses.

But, the knock on the door that no one wants is the sheriff, serving you with a civil summons regard-ing someone being injured on your property. Since I have handled many premises liabil-ity injury claims, I want to make sure you never have to have a child hurt at your home.

These simple steps can help make sure your home is safe and assure your little visitors have a great time.

1. Lighting: Proper lighting shows hazards and indi-cates preferred walkways. It may be spookier to have it darkened, but you are better off with all available lights turned on. Pay special attention to your side yards that lead to your neigh-

bors’ homes. 2. Pathways: Make

sure that you have clear path-ways to your door. It is important to recognize that kids will not return to the street after every trick or treat. Instead, they will likely walk to the neigh-bor’s home through your side yard.

3. Yards: Holes in the yard are invisible at night and should be filled in and leveled off.

4. Steps: Those older steps that have loose railings are a trap. Picture a disabled grandmother

moving on your property and you might notice hazards that you missed at first.

5. Cords: Electri-cal cords, even orange ones, are hard to see at night. Try not to have them in positions to have to be crossed.

6. Saplings: If you have recently put in a young tree, the strings that hold it up are known trip hazards. If they must be used, tie yellow caution

tape on each string in multiple locations. This handy tape is available at local hardware and home improvement stores.

7. Obstacles: Spider webs, tunnels, and so forth are really fun, but dangerous. Avoid anything that would trip a guest. Likewise, any string that hits an adult at neck level is a hazard.

You will probably never have a claim from an injury at your home; but if you do, everything you have done to assure safety will matter. Have a happy and safe holiday.

injured in car accidents, work place incidents, medical malpractice, and nursing homes. He often addresses churches, clubs and groups without charge. Mr. Peel may be reached through PeelLawFirm.com wherein other articles may be accessed.

Don’t get sued over HalloweenPAID ADVERTISEMENT

While sometimes in my daily work, I feel like the “pooper of the party,” constantly dousing readers with a barrage of news from around the world; including statements con-cerning the state of fiscal irresponsi-bility globally and in the U.S; today I have a piece of news that will be a welcome site to many of our clients and followers: Your social security check is going to be higher in 2013.

People who get Social Security checks will re-ceive a 1.7 percent increase in their monthly benefits next year, the government said Tuesday. The increase amounts to about $18.75 extra for the average Social Security recipient, who re-ceives roughly $1,130 each month in 2012.

The consumer price in-dex (CPI-W), rose by 1.7 percent in the 12-month period running through September 2012, the Labor Department said Tuesday. Annual increases in Social Security’s cost-of-living adjustment are tied to the CPI-W. These benefits will kick in on Jan. 1.

Last year, Social Security recipi-ents got a 3.6 percent increase amid spiking gasoline and food costs. Yet

price pressures have tapered off in 2012, leading to a lower increase in the cost-of-living adjustment.

With all of this good news, for those who depend on the benefit monthly, all is NOT well overall. (here comes more of the doom and gloom) I will remind those who read these columns, as Social Security and Medicare are important, even critical to many readers. Both face a com-

mon threat: they're in danger of going broke. With 10,000 Baby Boom-ers turn 65 daily, placing new demands on these already-strained pro-grams. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says Social Security will post nearly $600 billion in deficits in 2012. Read: This means the trust fund will be ex-hausted by 2034 - 2037.

(a mere 22 - 25 years from now)Couple this with the threat of the

"Fiscal Cliff, and now we have the making of a really scary thought. The consequences of inaction are enor-mous. Suddenly allowing taxes to rise to Clinton-era levels would take money directly out of the pock¬ets of consumers and businesses, reduc-

ing spending and investment. A U.S. economy that's only growing at less than a 2 percent annualized pace isn't sturdy enough to sustain the largest fiscal contraction since World War II. With Europe already in re-cession, global growth would spiral downward.

A word of advice to all my clients and friends; should the government let his disastrous event occur, You had better have more protection for your assets than fort knox. The out-come would be less than rosey. Any hit to economic growth is unlikely to be of the magnitude of the severe contraction during the Great Reces-sion of 2008-09. One reason is busi-nesses and households don't have anything close to the degree of lever-age they had prior to the 2008 crash.

A kicking of the can down the road again is out of the question. What we need is reform with “all caps”; We can't let these people who have worked their entire lives, building and strengthening this great coun-try of ours go away empty handed - AND with empty pockets.

Editor's note: Theresa Bibb Colin, who is running for alderman in Munford, was mistakenly left out of the Meet the Candidates section. Here are her responses to the ques-tions.

Background informationI am a Munford native; my family has been here

over 100 years. I'm a graduate of Munford High School and the University of Tennessee at Martin and attended graduate school at the University of Minne-sota. After grad school I worked for the State of Min-nesota, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Waters as a Water

Resource Manager. During the 1980s I worked in the retail industry and as a computer

analyst for the Naval Reserve Readiness Command in Millington. After the birth of my son, I became a full-time mom. I was the choir director at the Mun-ford Presbyterian Church for over 20 years where I'm a lifelong member. I also served as elder and mem-ber of the session and VBS music director. I have been married to Pete Colin for 28 years. We have two chil-dren: Pete Jr. is the choir director and assistant band director at Munford

High School. Leighann is a recent college graduate. Both are graduates of Munford High School. With the exception of my husband, we all have been members of the MHS Band!

Qualifications for the officeI have been an Alderman for the City of Munford

since 1995. There I serve on the Public Works and Pub-lic Safety Committees. I have also served the city as a member of the Planning Commission and the Board

of Zoning Appeals. I have been a member of the Board of Directors of the South Tipton County Cham-ber of Commerce for several years, serving twice as Chairman of the Board. I serve as Education Coordi-nator for the

Chamber (Student of the Month). I served on the board of Celebrate Munford for several years. I am a TOTAL Leadership graduate and session leader.

Issues the community is facingRevenue is always an issue. That's we went ahead

with the sewer project. We believe that's going to bring some retail projects to the city, which brings sales tax and property tax revenue. We also need to add firefighters. That's another issue.

Meet the Candidates

Teddy Joe and Janet Pinner celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Sept. 23 at the home of Wayne and Martha Watkins in Munford with family and friends. They have four children: Lora (Phillip) Fletcher, Ron and Don Pinner of Munford, Margaret (David) Smith of Brighton. They have one grand-daughter, Hadley Pinner of Munford.

With modern science that may change also in the future.

Hello My Friends,The fall display of col-

or is upon us. This is my favorite time of year. All of my plants have been enjoying the reprieve. Now the mums are mak-ing their big splash. And I need to get some pan-sies planted ASAP. There are also some very cre-ative fall displays around town, too. I remember having a fall scene in our yard and when it was time to rid the yard of the hay bales, to my surprise, there was a large chicken snake under one of them. I just about had a stroke. I definitely became Hercu-les with that hay bale.

I have to tell you my Hawaii trip was won-derful! Of course, see-ing my two grandsons and precious daughter was the highlight. Paul worked a lot but it was good to be around him too. It was unusually hot, with no trade winds. Even Danielle was hot as well. There is no air con-ditioning in her house so

I made good use of the fans. The scenery is ab-solutely amazing: flow-ers growing wild, out of trees and chickens just running about along the highway. The Dole Pine-apple plantation was su-per fabulous. They have maze that is the second largest in the world. The boys and I went to the beach just about every morning. So beautiful and just about two minutes from Danielle's home. Of course, me driving, with the boys as navigators was an experience. I'm not much on directions and it’s not unusual for me to get turned around but two little boys telling me (one who didn't know right from left) ended up being an adventure!

My trip home ended up being a gift in a lot of ways. When I arrived in Phoenix, another pas-senger had a long lay-over also. She and I kind of bonded. This is what I put on my Facebook page. "You never know when people are put in your path for good. On my flight back from Ha-waii, a lady and I met

while we had our lay-over in Phoenix. She had been visiting her termi-nally ill father on the big island in Hilo. He was diagnosed with ALS in May. He may not make it until she is able to return. She is an OB nurse in St. Louis. Thankfully I can hold someone else's tears because mine have been held by others." And for this I want to thank all of you for uplifting while I was at my lowest and sustaining me while at my best.

No more sappiness! The Brighton Cardinals went to Hardin and played their hearts out last Friday night. They won and that is so impor-tant while on the road so far away! Go Cards! They are on the road again playing Cordova this Fri-day. They need support on these away games as well as at home!

The Clopton Method-ist Church will have their Music Fest this Saturday. There will be vendors with all sorts of items as well as food and fun!! Please plan to come out. It starts at 10 a.m.

Happy Birthday to Pat Clemons, Brittany Samp-son, Jimmy Cochran, Hannah Proffit Cooper, Crystal Gray and Laura Grooms.

Until next week, have a good one! Debe

Greetings:The following is one of

my favorite Halloween memories:

Four years ago when we moved to our new home of Elm Grove Road, we dececied to find a new doctor. Well, one day we were on the Hwy 59 and we saw the Family Medi-cine in Brighton. We got the phone number and made an appointment; we noticed that the sign on the door said Dr. Scott Craig.

Well we made an ap-pointment and went to Dr. Scott Craig. We asked him if he remembered us from our former church in Frayser.

And he said, "Did you two ever go the Frayser

Height Church to a Hal-loween Party at church, and you came as Adam & Eve."

We said, “Yes, we did."Our daughter went

to Dr. Craig and he told Becky (our daughter) about Adam & Eve.

He said, "I was 7 years old and when I saw Adam & Eve in the fig leaves, I ran and found my mother and father and told them - there was Adam and Eve in the fel-lowship hall and they were necked." That was what I wanted everyone to think. But we had on light pink leotards and light pink tights. So, they had a good laugh and we had to laugh again when she told us this story. That was at least 30 years ago!

Last Sunday at Elm Grove we welcomed Bro. Norman Crittenden (a former pastor) as Broth-er Lee and Mary Lesley went to visit their son in Washington at college.

By Russell B. Bailey, Tipton County Historian

Exchange prisonersTipton’s men of the 51st

Tennessee Infantry cap-tured at Fort Donelson were ordered exchanged in late August. These men had been confined at Camp Butler and Alton in Illinois and Johnson’s Is-land in Ohio. On Septem-ber 1, these Confederate prisoners began their trip south to freedom. James Moore of Atoka , one of the exchanged prison-ers, wrote:

“We were taken out in September to Alton, Il-linois by rail; from there transported to boats, tak-en down to Cairo where we were met with quite a number of prisoners from

other prisons. There we were formed into a squadron of seven (nine) transports (flying white flags), conveyed by two gunboats one in front and one in rear, our squad was on the McGill a large transport carrying in all about 1,200 prison-ers and guards. We pro-ceeded down the river to Vicksburg which jour-ney took about 17 days from the time we left Alton. We were not al-lowed to travel at night, but were anchored out in the river. We were exchanged at Vicksburg, Miss…(September 16, 1862) and sent up into North Miss.”

Flavel C. Barber, an of-ficer of the 3rd Tennessee wrote in his journal of

the trip passing down the Mississippi:

“We passed Point Pleasant in Missouri and Osceola in Arkansas, and a little after dark we ran down by Randolph and under the batteries of Fort Pillow in Tennessee. All this part of the river from Cairo to Memphis has been made historic ground by the events of the war. Belmont, Island No. Ten, and Fort Pillow are all monuments of the bravery of our soldiers.

During the early part of the night we passed Fort Wright and anchored about 10 miles above Memphis. The morning of the 10th …our whole fleet stopped before Memphis where we lay till the next day. The citi-

zens and especially the ladies came down to see us and received us with great enthusiasm. They were suffered to come on board our boat and all the Federal bayonets in town could not keep them from cheering and waving their handker-chiefs.”

Partisan RangersBy late summer 1862,

Union forces had garri-sons of soldiers at Mem-phis, Jackson, Humboldt, and other towns along the railroads. During this time, four compa-nies of Confederate cav-alry were organized for State Service in West Tennessee "behind en-emy lines". The compa-nies were commanded

respectively by Captain John U. Green of Coving-ton, James H. Murray and Ed Daley of Fayette and Reuben Burrow of Shelby Counties. These companies were united under Lieutenant Colo-nel Aaron Burrow for the purpose of forming a bat-talion.

On September 1st, Captain Green, former Captain of Co. B, 7th Ten-nessee Cavalry, received authority from Lieuten-ant Colonel Aaron Bur-row to raise his compa-ny. Four days later on the 5th, Lieut. Colonel Burrow led a cavalry at-tack on the Federals at Burnt Bridge near Hum-boldt. Burrow’s com-mand consisted of Cap-tain Green’s company of

30 men, Captain Reuben Burrow’s Company of about 100 men and Cap-tain Ed Murray’s com-pany. Lt. Col. Aaron Burrow was killed in the attack although the com-mand succeeded in burn-ing the enemy camp and bridge. This battalion of cavalry later joined with Colonel Robert V. Rich-ardson who succeeded in raising the 1st Ten-nessee Regiment of Par-tisan Rangers. Eventu-ally more than 200 Tipton Countians would serve under Colonel Richard-son in various companies of this regiment. Captain John Green’s unit was designated Co. C.

Education

The Munford FFA soil judging team recently traveled to Ames Plantation in Grand Junction to compete in the West Tennessee Contest.

In soil judging, a team of four mem-bers determines soil suitability and land classes by evaluating soil depth, slope, erosion, drainage, runoff and scoring it accordingly.

The Munford members compet-ing were Paul Wortham, Cory Wright,

Anna Cooper and Thomas McDonald. Alternates Dylan Swirka and Ben Ste-vens attended the competition as well.

Wortham concluded the competition as the second highest scoring individ-ual with a score of 366/400 points. The team finished the contest with a third place title.

They are looking forward to advanc-ing to the state contest on Nov. 5.

Munford High School's FFA agricul-ture sales team competed in the West Tennessee Contest at Dyersburg High School on Oct. 6.

The agriculture sales team was tasked with researching the product Simazine 90 DF. It was then their duty to memo-rize possibly useful information to use in a sales presentation in which they have 20 minutes to prepare for.

After the group presentation, they move to the individual sales portion of the contest where they try to sell their

product to a single specific "custom-ers."

Munford's team consisted of Noah Crosley, Jessie Pyland, McKenzie Man-ning, Millie Hathcock and alternate Bailey Arthur. Crosley was the second-highest scoring individual in the con-test with an average score of a 366 from his written exam, group sale and indi-vidual sale.

The team placed second overall and will be advancing to the state competi-tion in the spring.

The Munford High School band has hauled in a lot of awards over the years, including a national championship tro-phy last year.

Tuesday afternoon in the MHS band room, one of the band's members re-ceived some individual recognition and all her band mates were on hand to help her celebrate.

Senior marimba player Rebecca Car-penter was named to the 2013 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band.

She will play at the U.S. Army All-American High School Bowl on Jan. 5 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

“I couldn't have done it without y'all,” Carpenter said, motioning to her 100 or so band members in the crowd. “You pushed me and made me better. It's such a huge honor.”

Carpenter is one of just 125 high

school band members chosen across the country. It's the fourth straight year that a Munford band member has been chosen for the honor.

“It's another wonderful day for the Munford band program,” MHS band director Barry Trobaugh said. “Mun-ford High School is so very proud of each and every student … This is some-thing she accomplished completely on her own.”

Several representatives from the U.S.

Army were on hand for the event. They are traveling across the country to hon-or each of the band students.

Carpenter's mother and grandpar-ents were present for the event and she got a little choked up while making her acceptance speech.

“I skip lunch to practice,” Carpenter said. “That's how much I love it. It's my reason to live.”

Chargers dominate Rebels, move to 8-0By STEVE HOLTsports@covingtonleader.com

On a special night during which Covington High School and its football program set a precedent with the retire-ment of the No. 16 jersey of the late John Tom Williams, the Charger team came out playing with emotion and quickly dispatched the Obion County Central Rebels with 28 first-quarter points en route to a 56-6 victory.

Johnston White blocked a Rebel punt, his third block of the season, less than two minutes into the game.

The Chargers recovered at the six-yard line and at the 9:55 mark White scored the first of his four touchdowns on the night from a yard out.

Charger quarterback T. A. Watson found Carlos Williams with scoring passes of 19 and 44 yards to up the lead to 21-0.

A Trae Wilson punt block recovered at the Obion 38 by Aretavious Brown set up the 2nd of those scores. Brown got into the act three minutes later with a 62-yard sprint up the right sideline to close out the quarter’s scoring.

“Our offense was efficient in the first half,” said Covington coach Marty Wheeler, whose team scored on eight of eight possessions to remain undefeated and ranked second in the latest Class 4A state AP poll.

Covington (8-0 overall, 5-0 District 13-AA) added 14 more points before the half with TD runs of 29 and 18 yards by White.

“Defensively, we did OK,” Wheeler said, “once we understood what was going on. Obion is a passing team that came out running. After some adjust-ment, we took care of business." The Chargers held Obion to 170 yards of to-tal offense. Blake Berner was 9 of 18 for 112 yards passing and the Rebel ground game managed 58 yards on 27 carries.

Wheeler had praise for his special teams, noting a pair of blocks and the work of Andrew Miller fielding punts. He did allow for some needed improve-ment on kick-off coverage.

“We were trying to do a little too much on coverage," Wheeler said. "Guys go looking for the big hit and it is not always there.”

Obion got its lone score after a kick-

off return to the Covington 37 yard line. An eight-play drive produced a one-yard TD run by Joshua Floyd. Obi-on went for the 2-point conversion to avoid a running “mercy rule” clock to open the second half.

The attempt failed, giving CHS a 42-6 lead at the break.

With the clock running in the second half, White added his fourth score of the night on a 13-yard run in the third period and Dakota Phillips plowed in from a yard out to close the scoring with 6:40 left in the game.

Playing most of the game on the Obi-on County (2-6, 1-5) end of the field, CHS ran up 276 rushing yards and 6 TDs on 30 carries.

Watson was a perfect 3 for 3 with two

TDs for Covington. Bobby Van Cleve continued his kick-

ing perfection, making 8 of 8 PATs. He has made all 44 he has attempted this season.

White led the way rushing with 127 yards on 16 carries.

Next up are the Milan Bulldogs in the pivotal district game of the season.

Home field advantage throughout the playoffs may well ride on the out-come.

Milan comes into the contest at 7-1 overall (4-2 district),having lost by one at home to South Gibson, the only other undefeated team in the district.

Covington comes in averaging 421 yards and 42.1 points a game. The

Cards rout Hardin in key league gameBy JEFF IRELANDjireland@covingtonleader.com

Brighton made its longest road trip of the season Friday night and came home with a key district win that puts them in excellent shape to make the Class 6A playoffs with two regular season games left.

Quarterback Brady Stewart and his main target, wideout Artez Harris, both came up huge again as the Cardinals traveled to Savannah and defeated Hardin County, 42-17, in District 13-AAA play.

The win moved Brighton into second place in the league standings.

According to the Tennessee Secondary Athletic Association, the Cardinals (5-3 overall, 2-1 district) would be a six seed in the 6A bracket if the season ended today and would play at Arlington in the first round.

The Cardinals will be the clear favorites in their re-maining two games: Friday at Cordova (1-7) and Oct.

26 at Dyer County (4-4 overall, 0-3 District 13-AAA). Brighton jumped on Hardin County (6-2, 2-1) early

Friday night, going up 21-0 early in the second quar-ter, and never really let up, handing the Tigers their second straight loss after starting 6-0.

Hardin County trimmed the lead to 21-10 at the half, but Brighton answered with an eight-yard touchdown run by Antonio Dickerson and a 19-yard TD pass from Stewart to Artez in the third quarter.

Thaddeus added a 38-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to push the lead to 42-10.

Stewart completed 22 of 31 passes for 323 yards and

Cougars, Rebs fallBy JEFF IRELANDjireland@covingtonleader.com

Munford ran into a buzz saw Friday night in Jack-son and lost to North Side, but the Cougars' playoffs hopes are still looking good with two regular season games left.

The Indians (8-0 overall, 3-0 District 13-AAA) got a huge night from Jerry Neylon and remained unde-feated with a 54-14 district win over Munford.

Neylon returned a punt 68 yards for a score, caught a pass for a 94-yard TD and picked off a pass as North Side raced to a 42-7 halftime lead.

“They are a typical Milan team," Wheeler said. “Phys-ical, with a strong run-ning game and a QB with a strong arm. Defensively they are fast and get to the ball. It will be a challenge. We’ll find out how good we are against the run. It’s a big ball game.”

COMMENTARY

The weightier matters of the lawBy PASTOR FREEMAN WEEMSFirst Baptist Church Atoka

Men cannot be redeemed by the works of the Law of God. Romans 3:20, Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Yet, Paul also tells us that the law is good. The context of the state-ment, the weightier mat-ters of the law, is found in Matthew 23:23, where He is speaking about tithing and heart atti-tudes. The Lord very directly rebuked the religious leaders of His day for having the cer-emonies right, but their heart was wrong. They professed to love God, but in truth their hearts were far from Him. It was all a show and just a style of life that calmed their religious nerves.

So what purpose does God’s law serve today? If following the commandments is not enough to get us to heaven, not enough to please the Lord, and satisfy His just demands, what can man do? The right answer to that is noth-

ing. That is right, there is nothing that man can do by his own ability and strength that will please the Lord. The men whom the Lord was rebuking were clean on the outside. In fact, the Lord tells us in Matthew 5:20, For I say unto

you, That except your righteousness shall ex-ceed the righteousness of the scribes and Phar-isees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. These folk were externally doing everything correctly. It is our heart that makes the difference. That is not to excuse and omit the external things, for our Lord commends them. It is not an ex-

cuse to forsake biblical standards of conduct and separation; but, it is a statement that if we are not careful, the external things will become our religion and that will not please the Lord. When we rely on the outside, we are heading to-ward legalism.

The law of God was given to point us to Christ. In Galatians, the law is called a schoolmaster, a tutor if you will, to show us

our sinfulness and show the righ-teousness of God in Christ Jesus. Paul goes on to tell us that with-out faith it is impossible to please God. This is not just any faith, but faith that is placed in the Son of God. Sincerity and faith are not the same thing! The old adage that one can be sincere and be sincere-ly wrong is true. Religion for the sake of itself is nothing. The law points specifically to the need for cleansing from sin. We are guilty before God and, truth be known, cannot even properly understand how truly sinful we are. The old Puritans used to speak of the mil-lions of sins we have committed. Our faith is going to have to in-clude the truth that we are needy, not just sick and needing help, but hopeless on our own and doomed to Hell without Christ.

The weightier matter of the law is to trust Christ and Him alone for salvation. Ephesians tells us we were without Christ, having no hope and without God. What plainer description could we need? The law points to Jesus and tells us that in Him we have all that we need or could ever hope for. Christ is all I need! He is all, all I need!

On September 4, 2012, FFP Project 78, LLC filed an application for a pre-liminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower project located on the Mississippi River, near Richardson, in Tipton County, Tennessee, and Mississippi County, Arkansas.

The proposed Island 35 Bend hydrokinetic project would consist of the following: (1) up to 1,070 SmarTurbine generating units installed in arrays on the bottom of the river; (2) the total capacity of the installation would be up to 74,960 kilowatts; (3) flexible cables would convey each arrays power to a metering station; and (4) a transmission line would interconnect with the power grid. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 170,476,000 kilowatt-hours, which would be sold to a local utility.

Baptist named one of best places to workBaptist Memorial

Health Care recently was ranked No. 2 among large employers and 23 over-all nationally in Modern Healthcare magazine’s top 100 “Best Places to Work in Healthcare.”

Close to 400 health care organizations across the country competed for this very prestigious dis-tinction. According to the magazine, the annual Best Places to Work in Health-care program recognizes health care employers for creating workplaces that enable employees to per-form at their optimum level to provide patients and customers with the best possible patient care

and services.“Being named to Mod-

ern Healthcare’s list of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare for 2012 demonstrates that Bap-tist has built a culture where employees are supported and engaged, which benefits not only patients and customers but the employer’s fi-nancial performance as well, ” said Fawn Lopez, vice president and pub-lisher of Modern Health-care. “These healthcare employers are models for others who are seek-ing to build a successful culture, resulting in opti-mum performance levels and benefits for their or-

ganization.”Baptist received the

distinction at the Best Places to Work Gala Tuesday, Oct. 9 in Nash-ville, Tenn., and was one of only a few large health care systems to be named to the list.

“This honor is truly humbling for us,” said Stephen C. Reynolds, president and CEO of Baptist Memorial Health Care. “Our leaders, from unit managers and direc-tors to our executive vice presidents, work hard to foster a workplace cul-ture where our colleagues can thrive. We are so proud of the outstanding work our colleagues do,

and it’s so rewarding to see them respond and ex-press their pride for the excellent environment all of our work family has established.”

One of the largest not-for-profit health care systems in the United States, Baptist Memo-rial Health Care offers a full continuum of care to communities throughout the Mid-South. The Bap-tist system, which con-sistently ranks among the top integrated health care networks in the na-tion, comprises 14 affili-ate hospitals in West Ten-nessee, North Mississippi and East Arkansas; more than 4,000 affiliated phy-

sicians; the Baptist Medi-cal Group, a multispe-cialty physician group with more than 350 phy-sicians; home, hospice and psychiatric care; mi-nor medical centers and

clinics; a network of sur-gery, rehabilitation and other outpatient centers; and an education system highlighted by the Baptist College of Health Scienc-es. Baptist has more than 2,300 licensed beds sys-tem-wide, employs more than 14,000 people and has approximately 85,000 admissions annually. In 2011, Baptist provided $169 million in commu-nity benefit throughout the Mid-South.

Patriot Bank names Chumley employee of the quarter

Lisa Chumley has been named Patriot Bank’s Employee of the Quarter for the Third Quarter.

She currently works in the Loan Operations Department at the Cov-ington Square location and is responsible for the processing and adminis-tration of consumer and commercial installment loans as well as real estate loans through activities such as loan documenta-tion review, compliance documentation review and setting up new ac-counts on the system. Helping maintain loan records and related re-ports by following up on documentation require-ments are also a part of her job duties.

She has been with Pa-triot Bank for 18 months and has been in the bank-ing industry since 1988. She has held various positions in all areas of banking, including the deposit and loan side. She graduated from Southeastern School of Banking in 1999, South-eastern School of Con-sumer Lending in 2008 and was a member of the Total Leadership Group in 2007.

Her husband of 20 years is Tipton County’s very own sheriff, Pancho Chumley, and they have one son, Tucker. Lisa was chosen as Employee of the Quarter due to her outstanding performance in all aspects of her posi-tion at Patriot Bank.

According to her co-workers, Lisa is not only precise and accurate, but she also completes tasks quickly and with mini-mal errors. She is willing to do anything asked of her and is happy to be a team player for the bank. She catches on quickly to the tasks at hand and completes them in an ef-

ficient manner. Not only is Lisa a valu-

able asset to the loan de-partment but to Patriot Bank also. She is a very trustworthy individu-al and her co-workers know they can count on a job well done when she is assigned a task.

Thank you Lisa for all you do for the Patriot Bank team. Congratula-tions!

CHUMLEY

Celebrating newspapersBy JEFF IRELANDjireland@covingtonleader.com

Editor’s note: National Newspaper Week is Oct. 7-13. In cel-ebration of that, all this month we will feature former employees of The Leader and ask them to look back on their lives in the newspaper business.

These days, Roland Weir is probably known more for his prowess on the golf course than in the newsroom.

Weir, 70, plays golf at the Covington Country Club five days a week with locals like Ken McCool, Bobby Ander-son and Johnny Owen and shoots in the 70s on a regular basis.

“Nobody really asks me about my newspaper days anymore,” says Weir. “It’s been a long time.”

From 1969 to 1984, Weir served as The Leader’s sports and news editor.

He covered everything from board meetings to Dixie Youth games.

Sporting events were his favorite things to write about. In the early 70s, he started The Leader’s High School

Football Preview, which still exists today. “Basketball was my favorite thing to cover,” says Weir.

“Covington was the team to beat back then.”From 1973 to 1983, he served on the Covington City

School Board and covered the meetings while he was there.

“No,” Weir says with a laugh when asked if he ever quoted himself in stories. “I didn’t do that.”

While serving as editor of The Leader, he won eight different Tennessee Press Association awards for news, education and sports coverage.

He was very active in the community, serving as presi-dent of the Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Com-merce president from 1982 to 1983.

Weir actually started at The Leader in 1961, working on the letter press and the print shop, making $1.10 an hour. He worked in Jonesboro, Ark., for a while before coming back to the newspaper.

He graduated from Brighton High School in 1960 and played a year of baseball at the University of Memphis.

While at Brighton he was a left-handed first baseman and pitcher, helping the Cardinals to two conference titles. He also played basketball at Brighton.

Like most old newspaper men, he’s quick to critique the way things are done today.

“Not enough sports coverage,” he says. He also points out that his publisher, Bill Simonton,

told him that there needed to be 20 elements (pictures and articles) per page. Today there are usually seven or eight.

“Of course the paper was a lot wider then,” Weir says. “I like the way it looks now though.”

These days Weir keeps himself busy on the golf course and watching sports on television, especially his beloved St. Louis Cardinals baseball team.

On a warm Wednesday morning recently, he visited The Leader office before heading out to the golf course.

“I still miss it,” Weir says. “I’d like to still be doing this.”

Weir was Leader’s editor from 1969 to 1984

Above, Roland Weir and others are honored in a 1983 newspaper clipping. At left, Weir blasts out of the sand in the 1970s. Below, Weir looks at a current issue of The Leader.

The Lady Charger soccer team tuned up for the play-offs with an 8-0 whitewash of McKenzie on Oct. 1.

Anne Marie Van Cleve and Jasmine Brown each turned a hat trick. Whitney Young and Briana Dean added a goal each.

“It was a confidence booster for us," Covington coach Robert Luttrell said. “We have been so injured the past two weeks that it was good to get the back-ups the reps to help prepare for upcoming games.”

Covington lost to Obion County 1-0 in overtime on Oct. 4.

“The Obion game was huge for us,” said Luttrell. We could have fallen to the

fourth seed in the tourna-ment. Also, we were miss-ing our staring goalkeeper, Callie McDaniel, for the fourth straight game."

Tierra Williams filled in admirably even though goalkeeper is not her posi-tion. Covington held Obion to a scoreless tie in regula-tion.

“A magnificent defensive performance," Luttrell said.

The Lady Rebels slipped a goal past Williams four minutes into the overtime to give Obion a 1-0 win. How-ever, they needed to win by two or more goals to knock CHS out of the number two seed.

The seeding gives the Lady Chargers a first-round bye in the district tourna-ment.

Having secured their places at the A-AA State Golf tournament with re-spective 3rd and 4th place regional finishes, Tommy Beasley and Brad Walker set sail for Manchester’s Wil-low Brook Country Club on Oct. 9 for their chances at a State title.

Beasley opened with an 85 and Walker an 86 placing them well back in the pack. “ The two managed to calm their nerves on day two,” said Coach Brad Warmath, “ and consequently they played better golf.”

Walker bested Beasley by a stroke 78-79 on day two of the event to give both play-ers identical 164 totals for the championship. They fin-ished tied for 30th in a field of 78 participants.

Coach Warmath, Beasley and Walker extended their thanks to the local busi-nesses and individuals who sponsored their trip to Man-chester.

In other Covington sports action:

Kate Armstrong (30:19) and Kaitlyn Poole (32:32) turned in personal best times at a Gibson County cross country meet on Oct. 9.

“They improve each race,” said Covington coach Sharman Coley.

Jamerio Mitchell med-alled with an 11th place fin-ish and a time of 18:50 for the three-mile course. The next finishers for CHS were Jordan Max (22:16), Sam Wauford (22:39) and Dustin Pugh (28:47).

Brighton Middle School was challenged for sure Monday night at home in the West Tennessee Athletic Conference title game, but the three-time defending champs made it four in a row with a 36-30 win over Haywood Middle.

The Cardinals (9-1) drove the length of the field in the closing minutes to break

a 30-30 tie. The drive was punctuated by a 25-yard TD catch by Ish Jones on fourth down and three with 1:47 left.

Haywood (8-2) fumbled on the ensuing drive and Brighton ran out the clock from there.

Brighton will now play for the West Tennessee large school title a week from Sat-urday in Memphis against a team to be determined.

Malik Matthews scored

on a nine-yard run early in the game to give the Cardi-nals an 8-0 lead.

Alex Malone scored just before halftime to push the lead 22-14.

Haywood's Jaylen Turner scored on a 48-yard pass be-fore halftime to tie the game at 22-22.

Perhaps the play of the game occurred with 4:33 left in the third quarter when

Malone intercepted a pass in the endzone, with the score still tied, and returned it to the Haywood 32, which led to another BMS score.

Matthews was named the conference's offensive most valuable player. Jones, Blake Armour and Tyler "Squir-rel" Lovell were named all-conference for Brighton.
