Deputy under investigation by TBI Accusations allege deputy conducted sexual relationship with minor

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A Tipton County deputy has been placed on administrative leave after allegations he’d had an inappropriate relationship with a teenager surfaced this week, the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday.

According to a press release from the department, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is conducting an investigation into the allegation that Jason

Cochran, 29, has been having sexual relations with a 17-yearold female.

“It’s still very much ongoing, there are still other witnesses and evidence that needs to be found and gathered,” said District Attorney General Mike Dunavant.

The relationship was alleged to have taken place over the last two months while Cochran was off-duty. The victim and her family are cooperating with officials.

Sheriff Pancho Chumley said the TBI is investigating the case as an independent agency.

“It is truly a sad day in light of this investigation and the allegations against Deputy Cochran,” Chumley said. “I requested the TBI to investigate this matter and I will prosecute any criminal activity to the fullest. This type of conduct will not be tolerated and is certainly not the current standard of quality employees at the sheriff’s office. Just as in

EVENTS

this case, even when we have not received a complaint from a victim, if we become aware of any questionable conduct by any employee we will request it be investigated. I feel this is the only way to maintain the standards the citizens of Tipton County deserve and I demand at the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office.”

Cochran was hired in April 2007 as a correctional officer. In April 2011 he was transferred to SEE DEPUTY, PAGE A3

Clean sweep

By SHERRI ONORATI sonorati@covingtonleader.com

On Saturday, the eighth annual Clean-Up/Fix-Up week culminated with the Walk Across Covington, an event that cleared more than 83 tons of trash from the city’s streets.

An estimated 170 people, including scouts, church youth groups, students, teachers, city officials and more, volunteered for this year’s event. City officials said a total of 533 people volunteered during the week-long effort.

Rhonda L. Adams, known in the community as “Mama Lou,” brought a group of 11-16-year-olds from Redeeming the Time Ministry to help.

“I feel the neighborhood young people need to get out and realize that keeping our streets, our neighborhood, our community clean is their responsibility,” Adams said. “They need to know what it’s like to get out there.”

The yearly event celebrates Earth Day and urges residents to clean up their property. At the end of the clean-up, volunteers met up at the City Shop on Ripley Avenue for lunch and door prizes.

“We are extremely thankful for the assistance from the people of Covington in helping to cleanup our city,” said Robert Martin Simpson, public works director.

Two young men pose for a photo after picking up trash on Simonton Street. ► In Munford a similar event, called Celebrate Spring, will take place on Saturday, May 5.Volunteers are asked to meet at City Hall at 8 a.m. Contact Barbara Dorn at 901837-5972 or visit munford.com for more information.

That person is Cedric Monteze Leavy, who also has an outstanding warrant for violation of probation in Tipton County Circuit Court.

Leavy, 25, was last booked into the Tipton County Correctional Facility on March 18 for possession of marijuana. He is 6’3” and weighs approximately 175 pounds.

Relay for Life event approaching

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Walkers will go around the clock in the battle against cancer when the 2012 American Cancer Society Relay For LifeÂŽ of Tipton County gets underway in three weeks.

Teams of residents will gather at Covington’s Cobb Parr Memorial Park at 6 p.m. to begin the event.

Relay For Life events are held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening.

Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their campsites during Relay.

Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups, all aimed at furthering the American Cancer Society’s efforts to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by finding cures and by fighting back.

Though the event has

seen a decline in participation in recent years, chairperson Heather Ziegler, whose son Roman battled Hodgkin disease, said the number of teams signed up has exceeded the county’s goal. “The economy is bad, but cancer doesn’t take a rest,� she said.

Where teams were usually from corporations, businesses and churches in the past, nowadays they’re mostly comprised of family members and friends. Schools and other organizations are also participating this year. “Relay is a unique opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember those we’ve lost, and fight back against the disease,� said Ziegler. “Many of the participants are cancer survivors, which serves as a reminder that Tipton County is not immune to this disease. By participating in Relay, we are joining with the American Cancer Society’s ef-

have fought the battle against cancer. Luminaria bags start at $5 each.

When the event begins on Friday, May 11, Relay For Life’s Luminaria Ceremony will take place after sundown, honoring the community’s cancer survivors and remembering those lost to the disease. Participants will circle a track that is surrounded with glowing luminaria that bear the name of someone who has battled cancer.

And though the event is only three weeks away, Ziegler said it is not too late to help raise funds, register a team or participate in any other way.

Visit relayforlife.org/tipton for more details.

To purchase luminaria, make a donation or to participate in this year’s event, call Ziegler at 901603-6222 or send an email to rfltipton@att.net.

The Civil War and Tipton County April 1862 Compiled by RUSSELL B. BAILEY Tipton County Historian Shiloh, April 6, Continued â&#x20AC;&#x153;Still another battle I must record â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the glorious but bloody one of Shilohâ&#x20AC;Ś Gen. Albert S. Johnston fell on the field fighting bravely to the lastâ&#x20AC;Śhe fell at half past 2 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clockâ&#x20AC;ŚMany of our friends fellâ&#x20AC;Ś Cornelia A. Watkins.

By 1:30 p.m, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tipton Riflesâ&#x20AC;? 4th Tennessee, helped to repulse Federal attacks on Bankheadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tennessee and Cobbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kentucky Batteries near the 12th Tennessee and Blytheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mississippi Regiment. This was north of Water Oaks Pond near the camp of the 45th Illinois. Thomas Watkins recalled lying down â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the face of a line of blue coats about 60 yards awayâ&#x20AC;Ś both sides pumped lead across the space between us as fast as possible.â&#x20AC;? He wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;During this tilt our Color bearer was struck on the head and dazed. Springing to his feet with the flag and starting to the rear in a run, quite a number of men started with him, and it looked as if the whole regiment would, but the call of Lieut.

Col. Strahlâ&#x20AC;Ś and the action of one of the color guard I think a member of the Tipton Rifles in seizing the flag and carrying it back to the lines stopped the moveâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

That night, the 4th Tennessee bivouacked in the camp of McAllisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Battery. W. S. Dillon wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;we enjoyed sleeping in the Federal tents, eating theirâ&#x20AC;Ś nice fried ham and eggs, butter and cof-

fee, fried potatoes, a great contrast to the way we rebels lived.â&#x20AC;?

The afternoon of the 6th found Tiptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men of Co. C, 9th Tennessee Infantry at the Sarah Bell field. The field between the iconic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hornetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nestâ&#x20AC;? facing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunken Roadâ&#x20AC;? south of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bloody Pond.â&#x20AC;? Here they Tennesseans witness former U. S. Vice President John Breckinridge prepare his troops for action.

They recognized Tennessee Governor, Isham Harris and his brother-in-law, commanding General, Albert S. Johnston, lead troops into battle. They watched the gallant bayonet charge of Stathamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brigade. They saw the daring mounted cavalry charge of Colonel Nathan Bedford Forrestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tennessee regiment. Moving from a column of fours into line of battle, the Memphian had his bugler sound charge. Moments later the Missouri Yankees were retreating in confusion.

Now it was time for Cheathamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troops to advance. Colonel George formed his line of battle thus: the 9th Tennessee on the right, 1st Tennessee in the center and the 19th Tennessee of Stathamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brigade on the right. The 6th Tennessee and 7th Kentucky were placed in support. These troops had to cross over the dead and wounded bodies of their brigade comrades, in addition to retreating Confederates from a previous charge. Maneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rebels gained the cover of the woods before being detected by the Federals of Laumanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brigade and

Rossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Michigan Battery.

The Colonel had his men to lie down before receiving a volley from enemy infantry. Maney wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My advance was renewed in good order. Observingâ&#x20AC;Ś the enemyâ&#x20AC;Ś wavering, Iâ&#x20AC;Ś ordered the 1st and 9th Infantry to the charge. The order was responded to with a cheer, and both regiments sprang forward with enthusiasm worthy of their cause, holding an alignment which would have done credit to veterans. Colonel Cummingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (19th Tennessee) regiment came gallantly forward at the same time on my rightâ&#x20AC;Ś The enemy could not wait to sustain the shock, but broke in disorder and fled precipitately before us.â&#x20AC;?

The 1st Mississippi Cavalry and the 9th Tennessee Infantry converged on Captain William H. Rossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2d Michigan Light Artillery, Battery B. about the same time. The entire battery, guns, wagons, horses, and men were captured. John W. Meux of Stanton, a volunteer in Co. C. of Tipton County, shot down the color bearer of the Michigan battery and captured their flag.

(Gen. Beauregard later sent Meux to Richmond to present the flag to President Jefferson Davis.)

Maney later claimed that it was this charge that won his promotion to Brigadier General.

Continuing the advance, Cheathamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troops assisted in the capture of General Prentiss and 2,300 of his men. This was the largest capture of Federal prisoners since the beginning of the War.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any community events to mention this week but I know there will be a few coming up late this month and early next month. Check back next week for more information on those.

By the way, I want to apologize to anyone who may have tried to contact

me by the telephone number listed in the byline.

Typos abound even after proof reading. It just goes to show weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all human and make mistakes. The correct phone number to contact me at is (901) 5691090. You can also send an email to BurlisonNews@ gmail.com and I will check it before preparing the weekly column.

I know high school seniors are ready to be done with school and take on their next task in the workplace or college. I want to highlight those students in the Burlison area. If you son or daughter is graduating high school and they live in the Burlison area, please drop me a line. I would also like to share your good news about them being accepted into colleges or basic training for any military branch as well.

Now that all the important stuff is out of the way, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get on to my weekly ramblings. As I sit and write this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column, one word comes to mind and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s INSPIRATION. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not talking about being moved artistically,

Tula Starr to give to the cows. They really like the old apples.

We went to church Sunday night. It is only the second time we have been on Sunday night. We enjoyed it very much. Prayer concerns: Bertha Wright.

Charlotte Curtis, Annette Hanks, Dick Hanks, Bobbie Waits, Jane Spray, Barbara Turner, & Vrenda Waits.

I just this week bought a dozen petunias. Last year I put my two pots of petunias in the basement and they lived all winter. I put them back on the stepts at the front door. They have come out and are blooming. I was so pleased, I had never had a place to put flowers for the winter. So petunias cane make it thru the winter in my basement. I really like petunas....and they grow petty good for me. Love & prayers.

but more in the sense of the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;to breathe in.â&#x20AC;?

This morning as I walked outside into the cool brisk morning and filled my lungs full of this West Tennessee air, it was refreshing in more ways than one. The air felt cool to my nose and lungs as I breathed deeply. It also had a very light, sweet, almost floral scent about it.

And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about you, but I love that. Living in the country means you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always get the best of smells wafting through the air. If you live anywhere near livestock or a papermill, you know what I mean. Now, I know many of yaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll are probably thinking, is this fool really trying to wax poetic about the air? Yup, and I sure am. And the reason is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s those little things in life that we fail to appreciate that can bring the biggest smiles, warmest peace and the best outlook for our days. I hope that today you will take a moment to be inspired, not by awe and grandeur but by the little things in life. Until next week, take care.

Elm Grove Hello dear readers: We are having funny weather. We have had our air conditioner on a day or two. Then back to the heat.

The island out in the lake is sure looking good. The old man went down today and finished up weed eating. Mr. Alvin has trimmed up the cedar tree that lives in the middle of the island.

It looks so good I feel like going down to the lake and sit on the island. Our grand daughter and her little 5 year old son, A.J. came out for a while yesterday and we all went down to the island.

We also wemt over to the fence and the cows that live next door came up to the fence to see us. This is the first time that A.J. had seen cows. I still had some old apples in my referegator and we ran up to the house and got some of the apples

Hi everyone, between tornado warnings, high winds, rain and colds and sinus problems, I really wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind those 100-degree temperatures this summer. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall such a â&#x20AC;&#x153;springâ&#x20AC;? in my lifetime.

However, our recently planted trees needed the rain.

Our prayers go out to the many families who have lost everything as well those that have actually lost family members.

Hope your week has been a good one. I know there has been a lot of softball and baseball tournaments going on. Charlie and I have been to a few.

Our little Zack Kidd's team, the Mudcats, lost over the weekend. His dad, David Kidd, is their coach. My little Addie continues to bring in the homeruns. Our granddaughters Hannah, Sarah, Ellen and Abigail Quinn begin their games this week at Bellevue.

Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m.

Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. Jason and Angie Morgan presented their son, Elijah Edward Morgan, for the Sacrament of Infant Baptism.

Please see Kim Gray to reserve your Memphis Redbirds tickets. Tickets are $10 each and the game is April 28 at 6:05 p.m. Happy birthdays this week go to William Boyd, Leslie Moffatt, Jeff Stewart, Jeremy Pinner and Ernie Draffin. Hope they are

each the greatest!

Sharon Presbyterian Church Worship is at 9 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister.

We welcome all members, friends and visitors.

Happy belated birthday to Miss Louise Gumpton.

Covington Church of Christ Our worship service times have been changed this week to two morning services.

The first will begin at 8:45 a.m. Bible study at 10 a.m. and the second morning service will begin at 11 a.m. These are our new hours permanently. Our Sunday evening service will remain at 5:30 p.m.

Our mid-week bible study on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. will also remain the same. Brother Mike Rogers is our minister and Brother Jeff Phillips our associate minister and youth director. There will be a bridal shower for Tessa McDavid, bride-elect of John Evans, Sunday, April 22 at 2 p.m. Congratulations to Clint and Morgan Smith on the birth of a daughter, Abigail Leigh. Caleb is the proud big brother and Laura Craft, the new grandmother, and Mr. Jim Edmonds, the proud new great grandfather.

In closing, my dear Charlie had a colonoscopy this week that went very well, praise the Lord. Have a great week everyone.

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm Report: Corn is getting tall enough to wave in the breeze. Cotton is popping up and winter wheat looks really good. More planting, spraying, fertilizing after it dries up a little more after the rain.

I helped Elizabeth clean out a flower bed last Tuesday. We dug and pulled up two bushes, then borrowed a chain from their neighbor and pulled a big one up with Justinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck.

Looking for a bench now.

We celebrated Lizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday Wednesday night after church with a lemonblueberry cake shaped and decorated like a nursesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scrub shirt. Cute! My dad, Kenneth Weir, and Clint and Courtney joined us in the celebration. Lyla will be two on Friday and she says she wants a â&#x20AC;&#x153;chocâ&#x20AC;? cake. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get it!

A whole bunch of us from the Covington Church of Christ traveled to Memphis for a Redbirds game Saturday night. Fun night and good game, and even though we lost by one point, there were fireworks! Fun night and I thank Ken Bringle for driving the van!

Sorry Jennifer Phillips got sick with an abscessed tooth, and that Jim Henderson got out of breath and ended up in the hospital with pneumonia.

Hope both of these get better quickly!

We had a Marriage Seminar with Stan and Sheila Butt Sunday. Stan talked to the men and Sheila

talked to the women during Sunday school, Stan did the sermon and we had a big potluck lunch featuring fried chicken.

Then we had another session with our own teachers and were dismissed.

No church Sunday night, which seemed really weird. Good day!

We will start our two services on April 22. Church at 8:45, Sunday school at 10 a.m. and second service at 11 a.m. until we get our new auditorium built.

There will be a bridal shower for Tessa McDavid, bride-elect of John Evans IV on Sunday, April 22. They will be married on May 26 at Kentucky Youth Camp, where they met. Sweet! Showerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at 2 p.m.

Congratulations to Clint and Morgan Smith on the birth of little Abigail Leigh Smith, born Tuesday, April 10, weighing seven pounds. Caleb is the proud big brother, Laura Craft is the proud grandmother and Jim Edmonds is the proud great-grandfather!

We were happy to see the David Keith family back at church on Sunday.

All four of them have been very sick, possibly the flu for the boys.

On our prayer list are Jenni Langston, J. J. Brown, recovering from knee surgery, Pat Farabee, Alma Rose, Richard Huffman, Trey Erwin, Craig Randolph, Jimbo Edmonds and so many others, including our servicemen and women, and voters.

Happy Birthday this week goes to Richard Shankle on April 15, to George Watkins on the 17th, to Alan Kinningham and Mitch Rogers on the 18th, to Ashley Whaley

and Ann Chapman on the 19th and to Lyla Harrell and LaVerne Baxter on the 20th!

Happy Anniversary to Jerry and Kelley Melton on April 18, to Benny and Hope Collins on the 19th and to Bruce and Fay Hazlerig on the 20th!

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Almanac quote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Place cut daffodils in water for 12 hours before combining with other flowers; otherwise, the sap wilts other plants.â&#x20AC;? Until next week.

NEED HELP GETTING YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY LET US HELP AT

Kathy Keiter l 476-7014 Hello everybody! Hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all doing well. We have no idea how blessed we are in this area by not having all the bad weather everyone else seems to be experiencing all around us. All those poor folks in Alabama and so many other places. I watch it on T.V. and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost unimaginable to see the devastation. We must continue to lift these folks up in our prayers.

Please also be in prayer for our dear little Ms. Hazel Greganti as she is in the hospital. She is the precious thing. Everyone out here loves her so much! Please continue to remember Mr. Harold Nelms in Quince Nursing Home in Memphis.

The last I heard from his son Jerry, he was enjoying his new home, but we sure miss you Mr. Harold.

We may have a new resident coming soon. I will give you more details and keep you posted as it unfolds. We have one room available and hopefully this person will fill that room. But now, we still have a whole building that we need to fill back up. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to forget that. We just need the people to get on the waiting list and get that building opened back up.

I do have an apartment for rent and actually I will be having another one about the middle of May. Now these are totally independent living apartments. The utili-

ties are included and the maintenance.

There, you are on your own just like any other apartments, buy your own groceries, do your own cleaning and cooking and everything. They would be great for a single person or a couple. I had a couple the other day to stop and look at them; hopefully they will be able to move in. I met them at the Health Fair at Brighton last October, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so thankful we did indeed meet! Come on out folks, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to have you.

Sure hope everyone has their calendar marked for our annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Springfestâ&#x20AC;? that will be taking place here at the center on May 19 from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have lots of gospel music going on and lots of things for the kids to do; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a cake auction, that is if all of my readers are able to bring a cake out to auction, and if you can make one and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it out here, please just call me and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come and get it. I would love to, and if I have never met you, that will give me a chance to do so. I love it when total strangers come up to me and say they read my column every week, they are no longer strangers.

Well, I better close for now. Please give someone a big hug, tell them you love them and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind! Until next week, God bless!

Knightly News News from Covington Integrated Arts Academy John D. Rockefeller once said â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.â&#x20AC;? Well, our little knights have been seeking out success through more quests than we can count, both near and far!

You may have seen some of our band, choir, or drama students recently when they â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toured the Townâ&#x20AC;? at Wal-Mart, the Bald Butcher, and the Historic Covington Square to demonstrate their success with the arts as a personal invitation to our CIAA Open House night.

On that note, we would like to thank all the par-

ents, neighbors, and new friends who came to visit us at our Open House last Thursday night! We so enjoyed your visit!

Many otherstudents have been taking their success on the road as well! Drama team traveled to St. Louis to learn new dances and participate in competition. Our Treble Honors Choir just returned from their trip to the Tennessee Vocal Music Education AssociationState TMEA conference. Our Beta Club and Student Council also made the journey to St. Louis over spring break to celebrate the services projects they have completed over the last two

years. They were able to explore the St. Louis Zoo, the City Museum, and even the Gateway Arch. Our 7th and 8th graders recently traveled to Nashville on a historical lesson about Tennessee and were so pleased with their visit to the State Capitol, the historic museums, and even a visit with the Honorable Jimmy Naifeh. Our Challenge students spent last Wednesday visiting Baptist Tipton Hospital where they were able to learn all about healthcare and the medical field. Coming up soon our CIAA band members will be on their way to competition in St Louis as well!

Now that is not where our send-offs end folks!

Just last week, we sent Mrs. Sara Gangaware to JAIL for March of Dimes!

Our students worked together to raise over $300 dollars for March of Dimes so we could bail Mrs. Sara out. Our Beta Club has teamed up with the Memphis Food Bank for a very special send off. They are working together to send children home for the weekend with backpacks of food every week.

Our featured teacher for this week is third grade leader, Ms. Julia Shaffer. Ms. Shaffer has been teaching for 3 years and â&#x20AC;&#x153;loves that every day is different.â&#x20AC;? She states her favorite part about teaching at CIAA is how teachers work together to make it such a supportive

atmosphere.

With TCAP right around the corner, we are coming up on very exciting and busy weeks ahead so send your students to school ready to win! Remember, we are

winding down yearbook sales, so parents send in your yearbook forms this week. Also, CIAA open enrollment ends on April 20th so everyone make a trip to CIAA and join in the pursuit of success!

SOFTBALL ROUNDUP

Munford claims tournament title

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

Early in the season, Munford lost a couple of games largely due to defensive mistakes.

Head coach Glenn Goulder believes the problem is getting worked out.

Munford got solid defense throughout the Covington Invitational last weekend and went 5-0 to bring home the championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defensively, we're doing really well right now,â&#x20AC;? Goulder said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we only made two errors the entire Covington tournament. When you do that you stay in ballgames.â&#x20AC;?

On Saturday in the title game against Dyersburg, Munford turned a double play and a triple play and beat the Lady Trojans 7-2.

Tara Comer hit a two-run homer in the game and Tori Ray hit a solo shot to lead the offense.

Paige Barnes took care of the rest, scattering nine hits over seven innings to earn the win.

Munford (21-7) defeated

Dyer County 6-1 in the semifinals. Amanda Levin drove in two runs and Ray had two hits and an RBI. Alex Stanford struck out three to earn the win.

The Lady Cougars host Brighton in a key district game today at 6:30 p.m. before hosting Covington on Friday.

In other action: â&#x20AC;˘ Munford beat Adamsville 8-0 on Saturday in tourney action. Sami Jo Schulz tripled, Stanford drove in two runs and Barnes drove in three. Comer struck out seven to earn the

win. â&#x20AC;˘ Comer hit a two-run homer and drove in three in a 6-0 win over Dyersburg on Friday in the tournament. Levin singled and doubled and Barnes struck out three and pitched a five-inning one-hitter. â&#x20AC;˘ Schulz had an RBI double and Jodi Duncan and Alex Turner singled in a 4-0 win over Bartlett on Friday.

Stanford struck out eight in the win. â&#x20AC;˘ Munford defeated Millington 12-0 last Wednesday.

Turner hit a three-run homer,

Some 45 percent of respondents said an â&#x20AC;&#x153;invitation from friend or familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; would most encourage them to participate, ranking this personal interaction far ahead of all forms of advertising.

Once invited by a friend or family member, respondents said they would want to... â&#x20AC;˘ Shoot a hand gun at the range (77 percent) â&#x20AC;˘ Shoot a rifle at the range (69 percent) â&#x20AC;˘ Go plinking (55 percent) â&#x20AC;˘ Fire shotguns at clay targets (54 percent) â&#x20AC;˘ Take a self protection class (54 percent) â&#x20AC;˘ Go hunting for various game species (25 percent) Our future and destiny as hunters and shooters can be improved considerably by taking the pollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice.

Invite someone to go hunting and shooting with you. If not today, then tomorrow. We will need their support and maybe sometime their vote.

Remember to keep your powder dry and your eyes on the horizon.

from the Bible and the body of Christ, the New Testament church being vocal about them. We are not perfect. Being a Christian does not put us above sin and fleshly corruption. We must be honest about our failures and faults, but should never allow them to be used to silence us. We may not be able to stop the flow of our society toward practical atheism, but we must not lay down our spiritual arms and silence our voices.

This is a political season with a major election coming up in November. Politics are important and we should all pay attention to what the candidates do, say, and their positions on such things as abortion. We should never forget that the work of God is infinitely more important than any political campaign or politician. Christians should vote and should vote based on biblical, not party, principles.

Our hope is in God and not in government. It is unbiblical to expect the government to do what God has promised He would do for us.

There has never been a time like this, but it is a great time to shine for the Lord. Pick up your armor, Christian! Join in the fray and remember that we are to be on the Lord’s side in everything.
