WALKER TRIAL

Walkers’ daughter, grandson testify

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – The trial for accused double murderer Jacob “Paco” Brown began Tuesday with emotional testimony from the victims’ grandson and daughter.

Brown is accused in the beating deaths of Ed and Bertha Walker, ages 80 and 75, on Jan. 18, 2011.

Their bodies were discovered beaten so badly police believed they’d been shot.

Brown confessed to the killings during questioning by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation the day after the murders, but entered a not guilty plea Tuesday.

Grandson Jeremy Walker said he talked to his grandparents every day, and was supposed to pick up his laundry from their house the afternoon of their murder.

“I didn’t hear any movement inside, except I thought I heard one of the doors lock,” he said.

Walker told the jury he left his

grandparents’ Wiley Drive home and went to his mother’s house.

“We were worried when no one could get a hold of them. I argued with my Aunt Myra (about who was going to go over there), but Myra went.”

When Myra Millican, who was very close with her adoptive parents, arrived at the house, she used a spare key to enter the home.

Soon she was running back outside, screaming.

CHS students Make-A-Wish come true

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com Before they left school for the Christmas break, Covington High School students had one more task to complete and its outcome was far more important than any grade could assess.

Led and encouraged by its student council, students throughout the school planned and schemed for months to raise money for a great cause and they were planning the reveal of a lifetime. They held bake sales and money wars, sold t-shirts and conducted other fundraisers to raise the $5,000 needed for their surprise.

And their efforts paid off. Big time.

No, not for themselves but for a little girl the community had fallen in love with. Covington resident, 5-year-old Lucy Krull who was diagnosed with

Medulloblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer in February 2011.

“We got involved because we wanted to make a difference in people’s lives and not just our own,” said student council member and senior Elizabeth Newman. “And it really paid off.”

Although this was the school’s third year of granting a wish to a deserving child through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, this time it was personal for the students.

“This meant a lot to us because Lucy is from here,” explained Elizabeth. “This is someone from home and we know personally what she is going through.”

Student council sponsor Becky Todd echoed Elizabeth’s sentiments.

“We felt that we needed to grant this wish because Lucy was from Coving-

ton,” said Todd. “I wasn’t going to do one this year but two of my student council members came to me and asked if we could please try. It was a school-wide effort and our school really came together for this. To be able to keep up with Lucy makes this one the most special so far.”

The students arranged an afternoon of fun for Lucy, her classmates from Tipton Christian Academy and her family. They had arranged for all of Lucy’s favorite friends to visit including Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Snow White, Mickey Mouse and even Santa.

Lucy and her friends played games, made crafts and then were treated to a special story written and illustrated

by Nan Lindsey and read by CHS assistant principal Ellen Clark about the journey Lucy and her family had been on over the past year.

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Several people have filed a petition to run for the office of assessor of property, the Tipton County Election Commission announced earlier this week.

The position was previously held by the late Bill Stimpson, who died in July 2011, since 1992. His son Greg, who was the previ-

ous deputy assessor, has been filling the role since Stimpson’s death.

The younger Stimpson has put his name in the hat – and so have Calvin W. Cole Jr., Rose Cousar and Rodney Hanks – for the county general election and state and federal primaries.

Also on the ballot for the Aug. 5 election will be school board members in

odd-numbered districts; county commissioners John W. Delancey and Terri Colin, who were appointed to vacant positions and need to be formally elected to finish their terms; members of the Tennessee House of Representatives and members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The filing deadline for the county general election is noon on April 5.

Petitions for state and federal races will be available beginning Monday, Feb. 6.

The Tipton County Election Commission is located at 113 Church Avenue East in Covington. For more information, call 901-4760223 or visit them on the web at http://tiptonco.com/ Depts_ElectionCommission. html.

Q&A

Editor’s note: This week we are continuing a new bimonthly feature called Q&A. Through this feature we hope to help you get to know your neighbors, government officials and others in the community. This week we get to know new Director of Schools William “Buddy” Bibb.

Q: Has your professional and personal life taken the path you expected?

A: Pretty much so. I tell you, I’ve always enjoyed going to school. You can go back to those degrees.

My wife says it feels like I’ve been going to school all the time. I’ve always enjoyed going to school, so when I finished up at UT-Martin, I really enjoyed history. I was certified as a history teacher. My dad was a school teacher and a school administrator here in Tipton County.

My uncle was a school teacher and a school administrator. He was principal at Munford High School back in the ‘60s. My dad was assistant superintendent under Shannon Faulkner.

I’ve been around it from day one.

Q: When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A: I enjoyed history and I really liked stories about Davy Crockett.

When I started college I was going to be a park ranger. I just decided my sophomore year to change to education.

When I was a kid I wanted to be Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone. A pioneer, I guess, or a frontiersman.

Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?

A: I like to read. I garden also. I live out on our family farm where I grew

with Director of Schools William “Buddy” Bibb Age: 54 Family: Married, one son, one daughter, one granddaughter High School: Munford High School, 1975 College: Bachelor’s UT-Martin, Master’s and Doctorate Univ. of Memphis Vehicle: 1993 GMC Sierra pick-up Favorite artists: George Strait, Celine Dion Favorite beverage: Milk Favorite food: Apples Favorite movie: It’s a Wonderful Life Favorite book: The Bible

up so there’s always things to do, but mainly I’m out in the garden.

Probably the main thing I like to do is spend time with my family and my new granddaughter.

Q: If you could snap your fingers and fix something about the Tipton County school system, what would it be?

A: If I had a magic wand it would be this: Every single parent and every single adult in Tipton County would make the education of our children their number one goal.

We have some parents that do a fantastic job of preparing their kids for school every day.

But we have some who don’t take their parental responsibilities as seriously as I think they ought to, for whatever reason. I know it’s tough times. I know there are a lot of single parents out there who have a difficult time just making it from day to day. But if I had a magic wand, that would be it. As I think Walt Disney said, I think children are our most valuable natural resource. If everyone took that seriously and said we’re going to focus our attention while these kids are young … what happens in those formative years when our kids our in school is going to set the stage

for the rest of their life.

Once they get out of school it’s really hard to learn new things. All you have to do is look at kids and how they pick up technology, and then look at somebody my age who has to try and learn it.

Q: What can you tell us about the new library that’s going in at Dyersburg State Community College in Covington?

A: This library (Covington Public Library) up here has done a fantastic job over the years, but as things change, as I mentioned, with technology, more people are looking for services beyond checking out books. People come in and expect computer access, Internet access, and that takes up space.

I think the new library out here is going to have a lot more computers and that’s going to allow more people to access the Internet. I think that geneaology is a big interest for a lot of people that have the time. The sheer size of the library is going to be a big plus … I understand there’s going to be a children’s part, which goes back to my earlier comment.

The kids at a young age need to be exposed to as many books and learning materials as possible.

TRIAL

Continued from A1 Millican testified that when she saw her mother’s badly beaten body in the kitchen, she knew she was dead.

“I ran out of there so quick and got a neighbor and he told me not to go back in.”

Millican also testified neighbors Randy Locke and Gary Smith said, “Somebody blew their heads off!”

Neighbor Gary Smith testified the scene was “terribly bloody.”

Family members on each side of the aisle were crying during this testimony, putting their arms around one another in comfort.

Meanwhile Brown, now 17, sat at the table with his head down and fidgeted.

He appeared in court with short hair, black-framed glasses, gray sport coat with a lighter gray collarless shirt and dark pants.

“Obviously this will be an emotional sort of case,” Assistant District Attorney General Walt Freeland told a potential juror prior to the trial Tuesday morning. “A murder case is difficult for the victim’s family always, but also for the defendants’s family.”

Nosy neighbors During last year’s arraignment, witness Scott Locke, whose father Randy grew up with the Walkers as neighbors, told the court Brown texted him the afternoon of the murders asking if he really wanted his “nosy neighbors” dead.

Brown later texted back, “It’s done.”

But Brown made a mistake: the Walkers were not the nosy neighbors with whom the Lockes had had several runins, it was Smith.

“If they call (nosy) being observant, then yes, I am,” Smith told the courtroom. “I’m a nosy neighbor to every-

body.”

In a twist, the nosy neighbor’s serviceman helped police piece together the murder.

A cable installer from Xipline was at Smith’s home and said he saw Brown pacing around at the Locke’s residence that afternoon. He said he witnessed an exchange between Ed Walker and Jacob Brown, an exchange he took to be sarcastic.

Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, TBI Special Agent Mark Reynolds testified that Brown, who was found at Millington’s Admirality Inn the day after the murders with his mother, younger brother Lucas, Scott and Randy Locke and another teen, Zach Douglas, first told him a story that involved teens playing video games at the Locke home when the Walkers were murdered.

“As I started talking about forensics, his body language started to change,” Reynolds said. “Eventually he started talking about what he did.”

Millican and sister Christie Billings left the courtroom as Reynolds read the signed statement Brown gave on Jan. 20, 2011.

“I just couldn’t stop,” Reynolds read from the statement. ““I didn’t stop until they weren’t moving anymore.”

Wednesday morning brought more testimony from TBI agents, including the display of the aluminum bat used to beat the Walkers, and from Scott Locke.

Wednesday afternoon there were audible cries while a video of the scene was shown.

The state has charged Brown with two counts of first degree murder, two counts of felony murder and two counts of especially aggravated burglary.

The trial is expected to last through the week. Visit our website, www.covigntonleader.com, for more information.

Former county resident named federal judge When Randal Mashburn was working summers and holidays in the early 70’s at The Covington Leader, he had no idea his path would eventually lead him to serve as a United States bankruptcy judge.

Although Mashburn began in journalism, he has enjoyed a distinguished legal career that led to his recent appointment, effective Jan. 12, by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals as a bankruptcy judge in Nashville. In his new role, he begins

hearing cases later this month, and his formal investiture ceremony is scheduled for February. “It is quite an honor, and I am certainly looking forward to the new challenges the job will bring,� Mashburn said. “After years in the courtroom, it will be interesting to see things from the other side.�

Mashburn still has numerous family members in Tipton County, including his sisters, Nan Fleming and Sharon Slover; his nieces, Amanda Hanson

and Lori Coleman; and a large number of cousins and other relatives. He is the son of the late Bruce and Eula Mashburn of the Mt. Carmel community.

Mashburn originally planned to devote his career to journalism, first as co-editor of the Covington High School (class of ’72) student newspaper and then serving stints as reporter, managing editor and executive editor of the campus newspaper at the University of Tennessee at Martin.

Under his leadership, the newspaper was honored with the “Pacemaker Award� designating it as one of the top two campus weekly newspapers in the country. He finished his undergraduate degree with high honors at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, where he edited an alumni newsletter.

For three summers during college, from 1973-75, as well as holidays and any other time he was back in Covington, Mashburn served as

Her father Erik Krull thanked those assembled for the love shown towards his daughter and his family. “I want to say thank you to you all,� said Krull. “We have so much to be thankful including this

community which has treated us so wonderfully. Sometimes we give and try to do the right thing but we never know if we are making a difference. I want you to know that each and every one of you has made a difference in my family and we thank you for that.

We are very grateful that God has blessed us.�

Covington principal Peggy Barber Murdock wasn’t surprised that her students went above and beyond for Lucy and her family.

“We have the best students in Tennessee,� exclaimed Murdock. “They do the best things out of the goodness of their hearts and they do a great job of recognizing other peoples needs and I am very, very proud of them.�

The juveniles were cited into Tipton County Juvenile Court and released to their parents.

The adults are each set to appear in Tipton County General Sessions Court on Tuesday, Jan. 24.

The incident is still under investigation.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Socrates and Patricia – A Dialogue on Abortion: Part 3 of 4 This is a continuation of the imaginary dialogue between Patricia and Socrates, the famous Greek philosopher who gave us the Socratic Method of questioning. Part 1 ran Jan. 5, part 2 on Jan. 12. Part 4 will run on Jan. 26.

Socrates: But again, I say you contradict yourself. Did you not tell me that a purpose of government was the preservation of life?

Patricia: Yes, but…

Socrates: And did we not agree that the focus of your stated purpose of government was human life?

Patricia: Socrates…

Socrates: And do you not agree J IM H ARDIN that religion should not be mixed up with decisions affecting government actions?

Patricia: Of course.

Socrates: Then wouldn’t it be better stated that since the government has the right to preserve human life, our dialogue should focus on exactly when a fetus becomes a human life? And can we agree that once a fetus becomes a human life, that’s when government can step in to protect life against the opposite will of the mother just as it steps in to protect lives from the designs of common murderers? And according to your standard of separation of religion from government affairs, what a woman’s God has to do with it should not be considered, otherwise we’ll have to let men consult with their God on whether to pay women equal wages for equal work, judges consult their God as to whether to accept claims of discrimination, and husbands consult their God as to whether they should beat their naughty wives or not. Is what I’m saying not true?

Patricia: Ok, Socrates, I agree that we should focus on when human life begins and keep God out of the picture, but the courts have already said when life begins, so I suppose the issue is settled.

Socrates: But is it? In the 1857 Dred Scott case the Supreme Court said that black men were “so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.” Surely you’re not telling me the courts are infallible? Surely you’re not telling me they know exactly when life begins?

Patricia: But the courts are different today. They actually work to protect our rights.

Socrates: But didn’t you fight against the confirmation of some of those sitting on the benches today as we speak? Haven’t you argued that we must remain on guard for the judicial activism that would roll back abortion and other rights?

Patricia: Yes, Socrates.

Socrates: Then you must agree that the courts can be wrong?

Patricia: Yes, but not where reproductive rights are concerned. The Court set the standard of human life in the 1973 Roe vs. Wade case, and it’s the standard most people can agree with.

Socrates: So now you argue that the standard most people agree with is the standard one should use in order to decide when and which human lives will be protected? At one time, most people believed in the standard of not allowing women to vote. Are you now telling me that you are a majoritarian without regard to natural rights?

Patricia: I did not say that…Ok Socrates, when do you say that human life begins?

Socrates: Well, since by your standard we must keep religion out of our discussion, I must confess that I don’t know.

Patricia: There, then don’t you think it wise to rely on the wisdom of the Court? After all, the decision was made after consulting all the available medical and scientific knowledge.

Socrates: But therein lays the problem, because as you said earlier, the Court even concluded that scientific evidence indicates that the fetus is biologically human. It went on to say that since it was not a full person, it was not entitled to Constitutional protections.

As I have already stated, I am uncomfortable with that standard as it is the same argument that was used to deny slave’s rights as the Constitution itself assigned them only three-fifths personhood. Do you not think it important to know exactly when human life begins so that the government can properly know when the fetus is fully human, and therefore know when to protect it?

Patricia: I already told you; full human life begins at the point of viability.

Socrates: Let me ask then, is a new born child capable of feeding or caring for itself?

Patricia: Of course not.

Socrates: Then a newborn is not viable, correct?

Patricia: Not in the sense you mean, but in the sense that it can live outside the mother’s womb, it does not become viable until over halfway into a pregnancy.

Socrates: Oh, I thought perhaps you were leading me to an argument for infanticide, even after birth, as it will become some years in the life of a child before he or she becomes viable—able to exist without external help. I’m glad to hear you don’t seem to be condoning infanticide, especially if a woman and her God decided to kill the newborn.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Why no jail time?

Dear Editor: I read, with interest, your story regarding a local attorney being disbarred when he apparently took several people’s money.

While we can all agree this behavior is outrageous, my question is why isn’t he going to jail for stealing, if he doesn’t return everyone’s money he stole.

That is one thing about the legal system that drives me nuts. Why are attorneys allowed to stand in court and tell lie after lie and many judges allowed to break law after law, but nothing ever happens to them?

FINANCIAL FOCUS

Don’t play politics with your investment decisions While the election season heats up, you will hear more and more promises, claims and counterclaims from the candidates. As a citizen, you may or may not enjoy this “political theater,” but as an investor, you might be concerned over all the talk about taxes, FINANCIAL FOCUS Social SecuS TEVEN J. JONES rity, Medicare and other financial topics. Will you need to adjust your savings and investment strategies? If so, how?

Before you think about adjusting your investment strategy in anticipation of any actions coming from Washington, keep a couple of facts in mind. First, few campaign promises become reality. And second, due to our system of government, radical shifts in direction are difficult to implement — which is why so few of them occur.

Still, we may see some smallerscale — yet not insignificant — changes in the near future. In light of this possibility, what investment decisions should you make? Here are a few suggestions:

Consider owning investments that are taxed in different ways.

No one can predict what will happen with income tax rates or the tax rates that are applied to capital gains and dividends. Consequently, it may be a good idea to seek “tax diversification” by owning investments that are taxed in different ways. For example, when you sell appreciated stocks, you pay capital gains taxes, whereas interest payments from bonds will be taxed at your individual tax rate.

And it’s always a good idea to take advantage of tax-advantaged vehicles, such as an IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan.

Stick with quality. It’s a good idea, when owning stocks, to invest in quality companies with diversified businesses. These companies are usually less dependent on a particular government program, and they typically have a global reach, so they may be better able to handle any changes implemented in Washington.

Stay focused on your long-term goals. Politicians come and go, and our political parties seem to take turns holding the reins of power.

Yet your long-term goals — such as college for your children, a comfortable retirement and the ability to leave a legacy to your family —

don’t really change. By realizing that you are largely responsible for achieving your goals, and by following an investment strategy that’s suitable for your individual risk tolerance and time horizon, you can make gradual, but still meaningful, progress toward those goals — no matter what’s happening in Washington.

Review your strategy regularly.

With the possible approach of changes in tax policies and in government programs that can affect your retirement security, you’ll want to review your investment strategy regularly to make sure it’s still on track toward helping you meet your objectives. As part of this review, you may want to seek out more “tax-smart” investment opportunities, while always looking for ways to supply the asset growth you’ll need to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

Aside from voting for the candidates who best represent your interests, you may not have much influence over what goes on in Washington. But by “electing” the right moves to help meet your goals, you can have plenty of control over your investment strategy.

From architectural to art: Taylor on exhibit at DSCC Charles E. Taylor of Ripley was born in London, England and moved with his family to South American, Central America and the West Indies where his father worked as a mechanical engineer for British and US firms in the railway industry.

H i s mother, an artist in her own right, was a source of inspiration and provided an impetus for his art. After attending the University of Texas, art remained an on-and-off hobby while he pursued a career in the

commercial building industry in Texas, Colorado and Tennessee as an architectural designer and project manager.

Taylor also served as a consultant in construction to National Commerce Bank Services of Memphis for their supermarket banking ventures in Chile, Peru and Puerto Rico.

As a consultant for a Dallas law firm, he prepared courtroom exhibits in various anti-trust and SEC cases.

Now retired, he pursues his artwork full time using his architectural rendering

skills to full advantage.

His main effort is in watercolors but he also works in mixed media, oil and acrylics.

Taylor’s art is on exhibit at Dyersburg State Community College, Jimmy Naifeh Center, 973 Hwy. 51. N. in Covington until March 7. A reception in his honor will be held on

Tuesday, Feb. 7 from 6:308 p.m.

www.covingtonleader.com

The Leader would like to apologize to Ms. Darsay Burton and the readers of the JameDarsay Burton stown news for inadvertently omitting the column last week.

It is included below, along with this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news.

Greeting, now that the holidays are over, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for us to focus on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day for our other gift buying fetes!

I sincerely hope everyone had a nice holiday last year.

Wow, can you believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012!

As far as making my New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolution, I hope that doing this year, I will be able to make a difference in whatever it is, or will be, that I start on. As you may know, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not how you start, but how well you finish!â&#x20AC;?

In and out of our community we know of several readers who are or who have been recently in and out of the hospital in the past week or so. Martha Jean Gray Sherrill was in a slight fender bender a few days ago. She came away with a broken leg; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pray for her healing. Kyle Trent of Philadelphia, Pa., grandson of Florence Sherrill Trent of Jamestown, suffered a relapse while playing college football. He was pretty sick there for a while. Aunt Florenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still up there with him and his parents and sister. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keep all of them in our prayers as well. Our own mother, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mama Jennieâ&#x20AC;? Stewart is still in the hospital in Memphis. Aunt Mary Burton, her daughter, told me sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing much better now. All of her children are around her. So that makes it even better for her condition. Continue to pray for everyone of them also.

Jamestown Community Health Org. and president Minister Pearl Andrews held its first meeting of 2012 on Saturday, Jan. 7 at 10 a.m. at the Center in Jamestown. Yearly dues is $25 and you can pay yours now because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed badly especially with our trying to erect some type of a meeting venture real soon, along with paying up-keep on our community cemetery, Dickens in Jamestown.

Hopefully, every one knows just how important this holiday is. Martin Luther King, Jr. was indeed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dreamer.â&#x20AC;? A dreamer whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefit we as all Americans now enjoy! Along with the marches for justice, came pain but also it managed to get us a higher quality of freedom! So while you were off work on this holiday, I pray and hope that just for a moment you stopped too give thanks for the life of a deeply humble and profound man, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. On to the news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jamestown Community Health Organization (JCHO) held its first meeting last Saturday, Jan. 7 at the center discussing issues still left to be resolved, such as, yearly $25 dues, monies needed for scholarships, erecting a meeting site, plus so much more which needs to be done in and around Jamestown. The president is still Minister Pearl Andrews. Contact her or any of JCHOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff with monies or concerns.

The third Sunday in January at 6 p.m., the Tipton County Singing Union and president Evelena Slone are meeting at Brighton Hill MB Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir.

150 YEARS AGO: JANUARY 1862

The Civil War in Tipton County Compiled by RUSSELL B. BAILEY, Tipton County Historian Letter from Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cavalry, Camp Desha, Ky. January 16th, 1862 Dear Cousin, Fannie, I seat myself this cold bleak day for the purpose of writing you a few linesâ&#x20AC;Ś I bespeak your forgivenessâ&#x20AC;Ś for the short letter that I shall write as it is so very cold that I cannot write long...

There is little doubtâ&#x20AC;Ś but what the Confederates and the Federals will meet in deadly strife in the vicinity of Columbus in less than 36 or 40 hours.

Genâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;l. Polk dispatched for 3 companies of our Battalion to report to Columbus for duty in the very shortest possible time.

Maj. Hill thinks that a fight is enevitable.

The Yankees are fortifying in 10 or 12 miles of Columbus.

You can draw your own conclusions. I think myself that they will hardly be left in peace while they are so nigh our lines.

They must be made to feel that their insolence is rather out of the proper boundsâ&#x20AC;Ś I receive one box from Em. It was the one that had the whiskey and wine in itâ&#x20AC;Ś Fannie, give my love to all the relations, Aunt Fannie in particular and retain for yourself the best love of your Cousin. Peter T. Winn.

Columbus, Ky. On the 17th, Gen. John P. McCown led the 4th Tennessee and 11th Louisiana Infantry on a reconnaissance toward Paducah. The column proceeded about seven miles before learning that there were no enemy

This week on

within fifteen miles. Gen. Polk ordered the expeditionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return. A Tennessean recalled the march as â&#x20AC;&#x153;very hard and very muddy.â&#x20AC;?

Libby Click - libbyclassof64@bellsouth.net Hi everyone, I never dreamed I would be so ready for Spring. That old sinus and cold stuff is spreading like wildfire. It seems as though everyone I know has it or has had it. The strange weather and some pretty heavy winds I’m sure has contributed to a lot of it.

Monday being Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, gave many of you extra time to reflect on his accomplishments, which were many. An extra day off work and out of school gave many of us an extra hour or two to get caught up on some priorities that are always on the back of our minds. I’m in the process of separating family photos. It has been a lot of fun looking back through history. A friend of mine, Mr. David LedHello my friends, I hope all of you are Debe Simonton doing well.

After getting all the Christmas decorations put away and trying to get on somewhat of normal schedule, I believe our family is going to sail into this new year quietly! That is something for us.

My resolutions have been simple for this year, but getting them accomplished may be somewhat of a challenge. One of them is organization and deletion. I am going to begin to get my home organized and at the same time get rid of things that are cluttering my home and life. Wow! Good luck to me because I tend to be sentimental. But I have resolved myself to get away from this because it is holding me back from my organization. Now that I’m on this subject it amazes me that my

Brighton

ford is helping me look up my mother and father’s family records on Ancestry. com. I personally don’t enjoy sitting on a computer very long. So a big ‘thanks’ to Mr. David. David’s wife Bruna and I graduated from high school together. Getting a little older makes it harder to recall complete details of our past. It’s so nice to have it one paper to view, including some details I never knew.

Three Star Volunteer Fire Department will host a chili supper on Saturday, Jan. 21 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the station. Donations accepted.

this week to Heather Gray. Hope it’s the greatest.

Brother Mike Rogers is our minister and Brother Jeff Phillips our associate pastor and youth director. Our youth department always has a project or is involved in sharing Christ ministries. Congratulations to all of the youth involved. We have several on

grown children do not hold on to some of the “traditions” that they were raised by. Have I totally burned them out (while they were growing up)?

Oh, I don’t know but when I was young we had a list of chores to do daily; Saturday’s were house cleaning and don’t ask until it is done. I pretty much raised my children the same way. But now that they have their own homes these traditions have relaxed a whole lot.... It is interesting to observe the phenomena of these young people. When my house is upside down, I feel my life is too. And yes, they are all great housekeepers because when they lived at home they did it.

Is everyone ready for the report cards to come out? Well, they are today. Also, parent-teacher conferences are tonight from 3:15 until 6:15. Oh yeah, kiddos, play-time is over! Hope ya’ll did well and don’t loose any privileges.

Look for the BHS football players to be coming around selling the STRAWBERRIES! They are still $25. This year they are delivering to us first, so we won’t end up with the overripe berries. So sorry if this happened to you last year; please give us another chance.

How scary was that home invasion on Woodlawn last week? Mr. Turnbull was hurt but protected his wife and home.

Neal is constantly reminding me to make sure the doors stay locked. And I do too.

Also several homes have been broken into lately. Make sure your alarms are on folks and call the police if you see any suspicious activity; Suspicious activity that would be anywhere. Better safe than sorry.

I have forgotten to mention that a community chronological bible study for women has been organized and started. It is on Tuesday evenings at the Covington

I had my root canal done but that tooth has two canals so I go back one more time. I thought Wayne was going to have to take the crown off but he just drilled through it.

Saturday I took my dad, Kenneth Weir “Pop” to Atoka to get a burger and see “Mission Impossible” with Tom Cruise a really good action movie. He liked it!

We had the absolute worst night Sunday night.

James woke me up at 1 a.m. Monday morning and asked the dreaded question: “What is that smell?”

I smelled it about a second before he asked and we jumped up and checked the whole house for something smoking. Then realized it was . . . SKUNK! It was horrible! Our central unit had sucked all the smell into every nook and cranny of our house. We sat up and watched TV

‘cause we couldn’t sleep!

I got up yesterday morning and felt nauseous so I “Febreezed” the whole house and left for a while.

James had two doctor appointments in Memphis yesterday and when we got back late we opened all the doors and aired the house out some more. Livable now.

The birthday party at Covington Manor will be on Jan. 21 at 2 p.m. Some of the youth from the Covington Church of Christ will go midnight bowling on Jan. 20.

Craig Randolph, Jimbo Edmonds, Carol Farrell, Bruce Petty and so many others remain on our prayer list, our servicemen and women and our voters!

Happy birthday this week goes to (belated) Hunter Dawson on Jan. 5, to Garrett Johnson and Laura Craft on the 15th, to Jimmy Weir on the 17th, to Joyce Scott on the 19th and to Landon Bringle, who will be four, on the 21st!

We are winding on down on the due date of Miss Ruby Kate! It is March 1.

Hannah had a 4D ultrasound and we (the whole family) went to see what she is going to look like. She is going to look a lot like Hannah Mae but I think she has a lot of her daddy in her too. We were also able to “Tango” with Danielle in Hawaii.

That was something also for all of us to be there to see this little miracle.

We extend our sympathy to Lee and Paulette Graham in the death of their daughter, Becky Seelye and to Jeff Hanks in the death of his uncle, Bub Hanks. We congratulate Zoe Liles for making All-West Tennessee Junior Honor Choir. Happy birthdays this week go to Garrett Johnson, Laura Craft, Jimmy Weir, Joyce Scott and Landon Bringle. Hope they are each the greatest! Happy anniversary to Drew and Brandi Laxton.

In closing, let’s remember all of our military here and abroad. Especially pray for the ones involved in the recent scandal. It’s my opinion they should be reprimanded “to a point” but then leave them alone.

They could have been killed five minutes earlier. God Bless all of our military and a big THANK YOU for serving this country!

Education CHARGER BEAT From the Principal’s Desk The new year has begun with new courses, new teachers, incoming students, basketball games, practices for track, volleyball, softball, baseball, soccer… and the list goes on! We are back in full swing. We want to welcome Ms. Cassidy Wilson to our teaching staff. She has come to join our English department and we are confident she will do a great job. We do have several things to remind parents about as we begin second semester.

The seniors have been given a graduation contract for parents to sign.

Those forms need to be returned to the guidance office

by Jan. 31. The seniors should know exactly what is needed to graduate academically and behaviorally.

The underclassmen need to start thinking about what courses they want to take next year as registration will be right around the

corner. Seems like the year is flying!

We started the year with a tragic loss of one of our students, Gerald Fayne. He will be truly missed.

We hope his kind hearted way of living his life left many of us looking for ways to be as kind as Gerald was. We extend our deepest sympathy to his mom, dad, and extended family.

Report cards will be given out at the next Parent Teacher Conference on Jan. 19 from 3:15 to 6:15. Please come out and talk to the teachers to see if there is anything else that can be done to help you child reach his/her best potential.

We want parents to know that we have many opportunities for students to get the help they need to finish work, do homework, catch up on missed assignments, or just get some tutoring.

We have tutors Monday through Thursday from 3-4 p.m. and peer tutoring (monitored

by Mr. Marlon Heaston) every afternoon from 3-5 p.m. There is no lack of opportunities to get the help needed. We have ACT tutoring after school also. Please don’t let your students sign up for the ACT unless they come for the tutoring sessions.

The next test is in February, so if you have signed up to test, come and visit Ms. Blackley after school at least a few times each week before the test. We also have paid for the ACT online tutoring that is offered through the ACT website. All your child needs to do is get their username and password from school and get busy on http:// actstudent.org/onlineprep/index.html.

Remember, the school has already paid for the subscription… but the students must do the work. Every junior takes the ACT on March 20. Please mark that on your calendar as a very important date!

We need everyone here and ready to stay throughout the entire 4-hour test. Please be sure

to avoid appointments on that date so the students can have a valid test score and give them an accurate assessment of their readiness level for college. The Writing Assessment will be given to every junior Feb. 1. It is a 35-minute sampling of their writing ability on a persuasive prompt.

This is a short but very important test that counts toward our AYP rating with the State Department of Education. Please encourage your child to do his or her personal best.

As you can see, we have many academic benchmarks to meet during this nine weeks period. Please help us by allowing your child to stay for tutoring or to complete work when necessary. We are counting on you to help us succeed with your child.

Let’s make this second semester the best academic semester for CHS. With your help, we will all be successful.

BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Lady Cougars rally for two more wins Cardinals split with Douglas, Hardin

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Munford Lady Cougars continued their winning ways over the weekend and Monday with home wins over Millington and Bolton.

Satruday's game against Millington saw Munford (12-7) come out on top, 54-34, in a game that saw both teams build big leads.

The Lady Trojans jumped out to a 14-5 lead after one quarter. Munford led by three at the half before Milling-

ton regained a one-point lead heading into the final quarter.

Munford took over in the fourth, scoring 21 points to win going away.

Kierra Richardson used some strong perimeter shooting to lead all scorers with 16 points. Robneisha Lee added 12 points, Kierra Webb 11 and Shaliyah Wiggins nine.

Tiara Caldwell led Millington with 14 points.

Munford got to another slow start Monday against Bolton, trailing by 10 after one quarter and eight at the half.

The Lady Cougars won the fourth quarter 20-8 to finish off a 53-43 win.

Lee led the way for the Lady Cougars with 18 points and Alex Turner added 12. Richardson finished with 11 and Kierra Webb added nine.

Against Bolton, Munford had 18 turnovers, missed 17 free throws and shot just 25 percent from the field, but found a way to win.

“Looking at the stats, there's no way we should have won that game,” Munford coach Steve Poindexter said. “I think conditioning was a factor in both games because we play at a certain pace. We didn't play very well, but we

played hard. We've still got some things to improve on.”

In boys action, Munford fell to Millington 66-46 and Bolton 58-57.

Munford returns to district action at Dyer County on Friday and at home Tuesday against FCA in a non-district game.

The Brighton boys split a pair of games last week.

On Friday the Cardinals (11-7 overall, 4-1 District 13-AAA) picked up a league win at home in dramatic fashion over Hardin County, 70-68.

Chargers get revenge

Covington defeats Haywood, Obion to remain leader in 13-AA

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Covington Chargers maintained their hold on first place in District-13-AA with a 73-38 win over the Obion County Central Rebels (6-10, 2-7) on Jan. 10.

CHS ran out to a 10-0 first period lead and was never challenged by the Rebels, who did not have the speed or defensive intensity to match the Chargers.

Covington (14-5 overall, 9-1 district) held OCCHS to just five points in the first and third periods, stretching the lead to 24 after three quarters and eventually the mercy rule level of over 35 points in the fourth.

Obion’s Shyheim Slayton had 10 points to lead the Rebels, who committed 22 turnovers and shot 55 percent (15/27) from the line. Jawan Alston paced CHS with 16 points.

DeMarcus Seaberry added 14, including four 3-pointers. Jaylin Dyson chipped in 10 for the Chargers. CHS had its best night of the season from the line, shooting at a 76 percent

clip, making 13 of 17.

The Chargers looked to avenge their only district loss in the past two seasons against the Haywood Tomcats (11-6, 6-4) on Friday night. They accomplished the task, but it was not easy in the 65-62 win. It appeared to be a laugher as Covington ran out to an 18-point half time lead, 42-24, forcing 15 Haywood turnovers in the first half.

The worm turned in the third period as Haywood went on a 19-2 run, beginning with a 3 at the buzzer that ended the first half. CHS was unable to hit from the floor or grab a rebound as they managed only six points in the third period and headed to a ball game in the fourth with a 48-46 advantage.

CHS pushed the early fourthperiod lead to six at 56-50, only to see the Tomcats gain a tie at 56 before forging ahead 57-56 with 3:40 remaining.

Covington regained the lead for good on a deuce by Devione Draine at the 2:40 mark at 58-57. A stick back by Jaylin SEE CHS, PAGE A21

It was a tough week for the Covington Lady Chargers as they dropped two games to Obion and Haywood by two and one point, respectively. Poor free throw shooting and ball handling figured prominently in the Haywood loss.

The Covington Lady Chargers (12-7, 7-3) just missed a chance to take over 1st place in District 13-AA last Tuesday in a heart-stopping 52-50 loss to the district leader and the No.2-ranked AP ranked team in Tennessee.

The Obion County Central Lady Rebels (18-1, 9-0), led by D-1 prospect Brandi Goodman’s game-high 21 points, took their first lead in the game at the 6:40 mark in the fourth period at 36-34. They wouldlead by as many as three in holding on for the win.

Coach Dion Real had an excellent game plan, utilizing patience and ball movement allowing CHS to build an 11-point lead in the second period. OCCHS chipped away to trail by six at the break, 23-17. The Rebels opened the third period with a 6-0 run to tie the score at 23 and it was nip and tuck the rest of the way.

Kamesha Van Pelt, who along with Precious Harvey led CHS in scoring with 11 points, tied the score at 47 with 41.8 seconds remaining in the game. Obion freshman Dianna Flippin made 1 of 2 free throws to put the Rebels up 48-47 with 37 ticks left, only to see Covington take a 49-48 lead on a put back by Leshundra Somerville.

Macy Wright, OCCHS’ flashy guard who had 16 points, drove the court to put Obion back up by one. CHS had a chance to tie with free throws under 20 seconds but misfired. Precious Harvey’s 3-point attempt to win at the buzzer came up just short.

Brighton wrestlers make some history at city meet

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Brighton wrestling team made school history Monday.

All five wrestlers entered into the West Tennessee JV Championships on Monday at Arlington High School stood on the podium.

The Cardinals were led by sophomore Essex Ramsey (170 pounds), who went 3-0 on the day, pinning both his opponents and earning his first gold medal this year. Ramsey also placed fourth over the weekend in the very

A11.indd 1

tough Central Arkansas Christian Invitation held in Little Rock.

Ramsey went 3-2, losing in the quarterfinals to the tournament champion Ramsey was the lone Cardinal placer at the tournament.

“I’m very proud and happy for Essex,” said coach Larrick Johnson. “His hard work is paying off. He peaking at the right time of the year.”

Junior Darrell Boddie (126) went 4-1 with three pins at the City Championships to place third. His only loss came in the semifinals to Houston’s Dalton Downing.

Munford High student David Hardee (138) went 2-1 with two pins on the day, losing a barn burning match 20-18 in overtime to Christian Brothers' Garrett Dickey.

“David scored a two-point reversal with five seconds on the clock to send it to overtime,” Johnson said. “That was huge. He was on his back a couple of times and came back to tie it in regulation.”

Rounding out the third place finishes was Brighton sophomore Travis Malone (152).

“Travis had a bad draw, getting the

champion Tyler Douglas from Christian Brother in the first round,” said Johnson.

Bouncing back from the first round loss, Malone won his next three matches, earning two pins along the way to get on the podium.

Finishing up the day for the Cardinals was freshman Anthony Lenahan, going 1-2 and earning his first high school medal and a fourth place finish.

“They all showed up today, wrestling well and letting the rest of region know the future is bright for Brighton wrestling,” said Johnson.

“Caring for the Community with Compassion”

THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 2012 ▪ A15 www.covingtonleader.com

The lessons we learn show forth the handiwork of the Father. None of us is stuck with a quick temper, a rude manner, Many of us have degrees from or complaining spirit. All of these the "school of hard fall before the wonder knocks." We have made of the ministry of the misjudgments, misHoly Spirit in the heart takes, and just done of the believer. Paul some unintelligent expressed it this way, things which exacted "Therefore if any man a certain price from be in Christ, he is a new us. The positive side creature: old things are of this is that we also passed away; behold, learned some principles all things are become while enduring our new...." (2 Corinthians consequences. Perhaps 5:17) It is good for us Pastor Freeman Weems one of the most ento learn the lesson that couraging things about nothing about us is unthe Christian life is that nothing changeable if we yield to the Spirhappens without some purpose. it's leadership. And, as a corollary That is not a support of fatalism, to that, we should also remember but rather a Bible fact. Romans 5:3 that the snapshot memory we "And not only so, but we glory have of someone may not be the in tribulations also: knowing that way they are today. Grace can and tribulation worketh patience; 4 will change them.

And patience, experience; and Christians have enemies. The experience, hope: 5 And hope Devil, Satan, obviously is our maketh not ashamed...." Instead biggest enemy, but so are the of groaning about our trials and world and the flesh. Our old difficulties, believers glory in the nature gives us more trouble than work of God through and in spite anything else in this world. As of them. someone once said, it is the man One of the greatest things about in the mirror looking back at me Christianity is the transformation that is my single biggest problem. that grace brings into the life of My lesson to learn from this is the believer. Sinful personality that other Christians are not my traits can, and are, removed and enemy. There are differences remolded to allow the Christian to amongst us, but those should not

By PASTOR FREEMAN J. WEEMS First Baptist Atoka

cause us to be at war with one another. The last time I checked, there were no neighborhoods in glory divided by denomination.

If you are a friend and follower of Christ, you are my brother in the Lord. If I disagree with you on something, the least I can do is to agree to disagree. The world needs to see the love that Christ has put in our hearts for other Christians not the arbitrary divisions that men have erected. Take a stand on truth and do not bend for anyone, but remember our enemy is the devil. Let's aim our weapons toward him.

The world is never going to be the friend of God. Its system is carnal and driven by base desires. We must quit trying to court the world using its music, methods, and philosophy. Christians are different and different on purpose. What we believe is supernatural not paranormal.

Our hope is in glory, not government nor gold. We are warned not to love this world neither the things that are in it. "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." (1 John 2:15) We cannot walk with God while holding hands with the world system that hates Him.

CHS

Continued from A11 Dyson pushed the lead to three at just under a minute. Shelton Lyons’ steal and another bucket by Draine and a free throw

by Adrian Frost gave CHS a six-point lead with 19.2 on the clock. Demarcus Tyus’ 3-pointer at the buzzer provided the final margin.

Draine and DeMarcus Seaberry led all scorers for CHS with 12 points.

Jawan Alston had 11 points, all in the first half.

Kyler Douglas and Jordan Varnado each had 10

chosen Valentine Lake in Munford as one of 25 sites to be stocked with rainbow trout. Trout were released on Dec. 15, with a second release scheduled for Jan. 19. The trout measure be-

points for the Tomcats.

CHS had 10 turnovers but none in the fourth period. Haywood had 17 giveaways.

The Chargers host Gibson County tomorrow night and Brighton on Saturday before traveling to Dyersburg on Jan. 24.

MHS

Continued from A11 nals pulled out the overtime win.

Demarius Adams had a strong game for the Cardinals with 17 points and Moses Harper chipped in with 10.

Will Shelton led Hardin County with 19.

On Saturday Douglas built a 14-point against Brighton and held on for a 67-58 win.

Eddie Middlebrooks and Harper each scored 20 points for Brighton.

Donvon Matthews led Douglas with 22 points.

Brighton gets back to action tonight at Jackson North Side before traveling to Covington on Saturday night for a non-district game.

GIRLS

Continued from A11 By far one of CHS’ best efforts to date, the Lady Chargers had only nine turnovers to 16 for Obion.

“We played well and got after them,” Real said post game, “but we did not have the mental toughness needed at the end to finish. We’re still young and learning but we are getting there.”

No one could get in a flow in the Haywood contest on Friday due to the avalanche of fouls called, 25 for CHS and 16 for Haywood (11-6, 5-5). Both teams were shell-shocked at the line with CHS shooting 40 percent and Haywood 48. Ball security was a problem as well as Covington gave it up 23 times to 19 for the Lady Tomcats in the 39-38 Haywood win.

CHS led throughout until the fourth period when the Lady Tomcats took a 35-34 lead with 4:40 to play.

Covington would tie the game at 37 with 19.6 to play but missed the back end of a one-and-one. Haywood’s Chelsey Owens, the top scorer in the game with 15 points, made a lay-up with seven seconds remaining to give her squad the lead. Two shots at the basket would not fall before the buzzer sending CHS to a second straight loss.

Iesha Carruthers paced CHS with 11 points. Harvey added 10.

The Lady Chargers host Gibson County on Friday and Brighton Saturday before traveling to Dyersburg on Jan. 24.

Four Covington Charger football players named All-Metro

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com The Covington Charger football team continues to pile up postseason awards with the naming of Jadarius Temple, Collier Robinson, Johnston White and Shelton Lyons to the All-Metro squad

by The Commercial Appeal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These awards are a fitting recognition of these players and the future of our program with two ju-

niors and two seniors being tapped for their play this year,â&#x20AC;? said CHS head coach Marty Wheeler.

Following are Wheelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessments of his honored players: â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jadarius Temple was our most consistent player on defense all year. It was noticed when he was not on the field.

We have him back to help lead next season.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Collier Robinson, the second leading rusher on the team, came within

200 yards of breaking the old rushing record himself. No one ran harder.

Collier will be tough to replace.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;What more can be said of Johnston White?

He led the team in rushing; set a new rushing record for a single season; led the team in touchdowns: started all 14 games at safety and we have him back for one

more year.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many would not know it, but Shelton Lyons led the team in tackles on defense for the third straight year. He
