BUDGET
Munford proposes $3.8M budget, property tax increase ■ Mayor: No raises yet, looking at bonuses in 3Q By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com The Munford Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved an ordinance on first reading Monday night that included the 2014-15 budget and property tax rate. Tipton County went through a property reappraisal from the state this year, something that is done every six years. The assessed property value in the county decreased from $981 million to $951.8 million. Because of that, the state set revenue-neutral property tax rates for the county and its
municipalities. Munford's property tax rate increased from $.93 last year to $.98 this year. Since property values generally decreased, most residents will actually pay less property tax despite the increased rate. The budget of $3.841 million is an increase over last year's $3.456 million. The largest expenditures in this year's budget are for police ($1.169 million), parks and recreation ($1.011), fire protection ($827,705) and streets ($352,571). There was no raise for city employees in the budget, but Mayor Dwayne Cole said that will be re-evaluated at the end of the calendar year. “Although there was no
raise for our employees, there was not an increase in insurance premiums,” Cole said. “We're looking at maybe a bonus for them in the third quarter.” “I'd really like for us to reevaluate (at the end of the year) and see if we can do something for our employees,” Alderman Jack Foraker said. There will be a second reading of the budget and a public hearing on Sept. 22 at 7 p.m.. In other matters: • Fire Chief Alan Barkelew said the application process to hire a new firefighter has closed and he expects to make an offer to a prospective employee by the end of the week.
• Barkelew told board members that he is still trying to get the department's ISO rating decreased from a four to a three. The state dropped the rate from five to four last month and Barkelew said a three is within reach. The ISO program provides a country-wide standard that helps fire departments in planning and budgeting for facilities, equipment and training. Class 1 generally represents superior property fire protection, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire-suppression program doesn't meet ISO’s minimum criteria. The next meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on Sept. 22 in the board room.
A man wanted by Mason police for the alleged attempted murder of Devon Fields on June 15 has been found. Mason Police Chief James Paris said Wallace Jermaine Goodwin turned himself in to police on Aug. 21. He was charged with reckless endangerment, attempted firstdegree murder and criminal simulation. Police reports indicate Goodwin, Fields and other individuals were involved in an argument at the Low End Bar on Front Street at approximately 11:30 p.m. the night Fields was shot. Fields reportedly left in his vehicle and headed GOODWIN to a residence in the Richland Hills subdivision. That's when police say the shooting happened. Goodwin allegedly began following Fields and before Fields could arrive at his destination, Goodwin began shooting at him and his vehicle near the area of Friendship Circle and Countryside. Fields, said Paris, was hit by gunfire at least four times, one of those in the back of his head. A Countryside residence was also struck by a bullet. A police officer found Fields at Gainesville Lane and Springview. He was transported to Regional One Medical Center in Memphis. Goodwin was arraigned on Aug. 22. He was released on a $50,000 bond.

Automotive Pro Tek announces giveaway ■ Disabled veteran will receive custombuilt vehicle By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com In an effort to thank the military community, Dean and Pam Hanson are giving back in a unique way. The owners of Automotive Pro Tek in Atoka, they've hosted an annual car show that benefits St. Jude. At this year's show, the couple will recognize members of the military and give a custom vehicle to a disabled veteran. “I feel like saying 'thank you' isn't enough,” Pam
said. “We wanted to step up, to not only do a car show that benefitted the children at St. Jude, but to also help someone who's fought for our country. The children are our future, and we couldn't do it without them, but we're here because of our veterans.” While plans for the car remain top secret, Pam said the Pro Tek staff will
do what it can to fill the chosen veteran's needs. “We'll try to do what all we can, we'll fill as much of the need as we're able to,” Pam said. Dean said the giveaway is important to him and his wife. “We want to help try to give back to the guys who gave to us,” he said. To qualify for the giveaway, disabled veterans
must submit an application form that will be reviewed by a panel of judges. Applications can be picked up at Automotive Pro Tek, the Atoka Police Department or at The Leader and must be returned by Sept. 20. The car will be awarded to the winner at the sixth annual car show on Oct. 25.

Residents warned of utility scam By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Covington Electric is warning its customers that scammers are working to steal their hardearned money. This week, notices were being stuffed into billing statements to alert customers. "So far, it's only happened with commercial customers, but we want to warn our residential customers too," said Pennie Hendrix, a representative for the utility. The scammers, said Hendrix, have called customers and threatened to cut their electricity off if bills are not paid using a Green Dot Money Pak card or credit card. Covington Electric doesn't contact its customers before services are cut off. "That's just not our policy," she said. "If you receive a similar call, please call us immediately at 476-7104."

TCAT-Covington receives mechatronics simulators ■ Simulators help train skilled workforce By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com It may look like a grown up Lego set, but to many in Tipton County, this machine is what the future of industrialization looks like. At the Tennessee College of Applied Technology, the different Lego-type pieces come together to make a factory. The simulated singe-action cylinder consists of four different pieces: the body, piston, spring and cap. And what this simulator teaches at TCAT is how to work this machine in the industries in Tipton County and beyond. The first thing that happens in this mini-factory is that the simulator tests to see if the body piece is the correct height. If so, it will be cleaned and sent to the conveyor. Conveyor belts have been set to provide solutions for material flow, however if a student is advanced, the system layout can be changed for additional problem-solving teachings. In fact, according to
industrial maintenance instructor Tom Harvey, bugs can be built into the model to challenge students. Next, the piece is sorted and then sent to the staging area. The robot identifies the color, and the conveyor sorts based on color. In the factory, there are three colors: black, which denotes “out of spec;” red, which is regular and then silver, for “heavy duty.” The robot brings in the assorted colors and will assemble all if told or reject different colors, which is where a person comes in. The programmable logic controls have to tell the machine what to do. The sensors are what make the automated controls work. As the mini assembly factory parts arrive, the ones that have been put together are off-loaded. There are nine modulars at TCAT, which create the middle part of the factory. This middle part of the factory, which covers electric, pneumatic, hydraulic and pretty much everything, cost more than $250,000. “The whole thing would cost three-quarters of a million dollars,” said Harvey. “What we have is only $260,000, but we can add as

Bommer requests fair hiring practices By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com In Tuesday's public safety committee meeting, alderwoman Minnie Bommer made her request clear. "We really need people who can be controlled better by the people who know how to talk to them," she told police chief Buddy Lewis and fire chief Jerry Craig. "The city's now 51 percent African-American and our police and fire departments don't reflect that." Since she was elected to the board in 2012, Bommer has worked to promote her belief that municipal departments reflect the racial makeup of its citizenry. She told other city leaders Tuesday that she didn't want her request to be "glossed over again." "I don't want you to just say 'okay' and nothing happens," she said. "In the neighborhood I live in, I haven't seen a black officer in weeks. We need them on the street." Lewis told Bommer prior to the meeting he'd been in her neighborhood with two black officers and that if there were qualified African-American applicants, they would be considered. Bommer said its important that the police and fire departments employ personnel who can "stop stuff before it starts," whether those people are AfricanAmerican or otherwise. She said the NAACP is “clamping down” on persons in position of authority to do what they can to make sure something similar doesn’t happen elsewhere. "I don't want escalation," she said, referencing the recent protests in Ferguson, Mo. over the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown. "That kind of thing can ruin a department's reputation, it can ruin a city's reputation, and I don't want that." “We handle things fairly and we will, as long as I’m there,” Lewis responded. “If it stops being fair, that’s the point when I leave.” Of Covington's 33 police department employees, 10 are African-American. Lewis said three of those officers have been hired since 2011.

one needs to.” The word mechatronics, according to TCAT, was created by combining the words mechanics and electronics and is the term for the training programs that help students learn project planning and information acquisition. According to TCAT, more than 30 different combinations can be created using the system to help with understanding how to reduce set-up times and production planning. The additional parts create an entire warehouse, including a shipping department, where the robot takes a stack out and replenishes. “This is an integral part of teaching factory maintenance, you have to know where the bottlenecks may happen, what specs to meet, a plant manager has to know how important this is, and we’re here to teach these students now.” Being able to move through the process gives these students a big advantage when they leave TCAT and are employed, hopefully by new industry.

FLASHBACK
Work continues on 2014 Farm Bill
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently announced continued progress on implementing the Agricultural Act of 2014 (the 2014 Farm Bill), which President Obama signed into law nearly six months ago on Feb. 7, 2014. The 2014 Farm Bill reforms agricultural policy, reduces the deficit, and helps grow America’s economy. “I am pleased to report that we have made tremendous progress in the first six months since the Farm Bill was signed,” Vilsack said. “Thousands of farmers and ranchers have received critical disaster assistance, innovative new conservation programs are up and running, new risk management programs for producers are available with more tools to come, the new Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research has been incorporated, and much more. Thanks to the hard work of thousands of USDA employees across the country, we are continuing to get new initiatives off the ground and make important reforms to existing programs that are helping to boost the country’s economy.” Since the Farm Bill was signed into law, USDA has made progress throughout all 12 titles of the 2014 Farm Bill. Among the first major Farm Bill initiatives to be implemented were disaster relief programs for livestock producers, many of whom have been waiting years for assistance. After the 2008 Farm Bill passed, it took over one year to set up disaster assistance programs. In 2014, it took under 10 weeks. As of July TOM VILSACK 31, 2014, approximately USDA SECRETARY 165,000 claims have been processed totaling $1.85 billion disbursed through the Livestock Indemnity Program, Livestock Forage Disaster Program, and Tree Assistance Program. The 2014 Farm Bill established new risk management programs for producers, some of which USDA is in the process of developing and others that are in operation already. In May, USDA awarded $3 million to the University of Illinois, the University of Missouri and Texas A&M to develop online tools and outreach training that will help farmers and ranchers determine which new risk management options can best protect their businesses. USDA also awarded $3 million to state Cooperative Extension services to provide in-person education to help producers make the most educated decisions regarding new Farm Bill programs. Innovative new conservation programs have also been established, including the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), an entirely new approach to conservation. RCPP brings together businesses, universities, tribes, municipalities and other non-government partners to identify and invest in creative solutions to the conservation issues in their local areas. The program has drawn an overwhelming response from partners across the nation, with more than 600 initial proposals being submitted requesting more than six times the $394 million that is available in funding for the first year. In the coming months, USDA will begin awarding funding for RCPP projects designed by local partners specifically for their region. With participating partners investing along with the Department, USDA’s $1.2 billion in funding over the life of the five-year program can leverage an additional $1.2 billion from partners, for a total of $2.4 billion for conservation. Additionally, USDA recently incorporated the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) and announced the appointment of a 15-member board of directors. The new foundation will leverage public and private resources to increase the scientific and technological research, innovation, and partnerships critical to boosting America’s agricultural economy. USDA’s Farm Bill implementation team is composed of key sub-cabinet officials and experts from every mission area of the Department. Through outreach and listening sessions we are sharing information and hearing from stakeholders. To stay up-to-date on USDA’s Farm Bill implementation progress, visit www. usda.gov/farmbill.

Why Millington?
As an injury lawyer who practices in areas from Memphis to Covington and Ripley to Jackson, I get the question, “Why Millington?” quite a bit. Why is your office in Millington? Why not Memphis? After all, some point out, “successful” attorneys usually have impressive high-rise offices in downtown Memphis, with sweeping views of the Mighty Mississippi River. My views may not compare, as I am looking at Highway 51, a car David Peel wash and Millington’s Peel Law Firm only high-rise (also known as the Holiday Inn Express). But I am content to be just where I am. So I have no parking garages, no elevators, no gang shootings, no parking meters, no one way streets, no crowds, no panhandlers, and no angry big city folks. But what do I have? I know Mr. Thomas that owns that hotel across the street, my dentist Kevin, and Drs. Boatwright who run a great local pharmacy. I dropped off my cleaning with Bobby this morning, and will probably say hel-
lo to Larry at the bank later this week. It’s personal. Millington is just a welcoming place. My great, great, great grandfather, James Peel, is buried at Mt. Vernon near Shelby Forest. So roots run deep, right up through my great grandfather T. C. Peel being a keeper of the light on Island 40 on the river. He, my granddaddy Chaffee Peel, and my dad, Billy, sharecropped land on the levee in nearby Arlington. My mother’s folks, the Griffins, raised her in nearby Rosemark. While my dad’s job caused me to be raised in Southern Arkansas, I spent many a summer in this area. Oddly, I now live right in between the homes that both my parents were raised in. So, I could join the 3,000 or so lawyers that call Memphis home, and have an ivory tower office. Or I could build an impressive office out here. Or, I could just be me, in my “glamorous strip mall office” and try to leave my clients and friends just a bit better than I found them. For now, that’s plenty good enough for me. Mr. Peel seeks justice for those injured in car accidents, work place incidents, medical malpractice, and nursing homes. He often addresses churches, clubs and groups without charge.

COMMENTARY
‘Which way do I go?’ By DANIEL DALTON Minister, Gilt Edge Church of Christ In Alice in Wonderland, when Alice came to a junction in the road which lead in different directions, Alice asked the Cheshire Cat,"Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?" The Cheshire Cat responded, "That depends a good deal on where you want to go." Alice said, "I don't much care where," to which the cat responded, "Then it doesnt matter which way you go." Many people in this world are constantly asking the question, "What direction should I go?" This question is asked in regards to spouse, family, job, and retirement. Should I marry this person or that one? How should I raise my kids? Should I take this job or that job? Where should I retire? These are all major questions in our lives to which most of us are constantly seeking answers. It would be easy if we just automatically knew the answers to these questions so that we would know we were making the right decision. But how we answer these questions really depends on our answer to another question: Where do you want
Alice asked the Cheshire Cat,"Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?" The Cheshire Cat responded, "That depends a good deal on where you want to go." Alice said, "I don't much care where," to which the cat responded, "Then it doesnt matter which way you go." to go? The reason being is because the answer to each of these questions is dependant upon where we want to go. If we want to climb the professional ladder and be the best in business, then the reality is we wont have time to do some of these other things properly. If family is most important to us then the time spent with our family will be taken from another area which will inevitably suffer. Most people try to find a good balance between all of these major aspects of life and yet still really dont know where they want to go. Where do you want to go? Of all the choices that we face in life we really only have two choices: Either we seek for eternal life or we will
face the indignation and wrath of God (Romans 2:78). Most of us dont take these two choices into account when we chose which direction to go in our every day life, but these two choices should play a major role. I should consider where I want to spend eternity when I choose who to marry. I should consider where I want to spend eternity when I choose what job I want to pursue. The Bible even gives us some direction regarding many of the major decisions we face in life. The Bible teaches us how to raise our children (Ephesians 6:4), how to treat our spouses (Ephesians 5:22-25), about marriage and the importance of it (Matthew 19). It even has overlying principles that
apply to any decision we make. Colossians 3:17 says, And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus. In other words, every decision that we make in life, whether it be big or small, should take into account the authority of Christ. We should ask ourselves, does this decision fall in line with the authority of Christ? Many people wander around in this life not really knowing where they are going. Many people live this life as if it is what we are here for, instead of looking to eternity. Many Christians forget the fact that our everyday decisions determine where we will spend eternity. We need to remember what is written in Proverbs 16:25, There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Where do you want to go? Where do you want to spend eternity? If it doesnt matter where you want to go, then it doesnt much matter what roads you take in this life. However, If you want to go to Heaven, then you must follow the way He has given in His word (John 12:48).

Cougars break streak
Late field goal propels MHS past Covington By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com
Fans who thrive on offense had to have been disappointed at Friday’s season-opening showdown between Covington and Munford in Covington. Both squads struggled all night to get anything going offensively in a low-scoring contest won by the Cougars 10-7. Munford senior Jovanny Rutiaga kicked a 29-yard field goal with 44 seconds left to give the Cougars their first win over Covington since 2010. From their own 40 yard line with 5:49 left, the Cougars played ball control, using 13 plays to move into position for Rutiaga's game winner. “Coach had faith in me the whole night,” said Rutiaga. “I didn't think I was going to do it. I hadn't practiced it in practice, but I knew I could do it. I believed in myself and I kicked it.” Brent Rhea, another Munford senior, intercepted a Malcolm Taylor pass MUNFORD SENIOR at midfield with nine seconds left JOVANNY RUTIAGA in the game to seal the win. “I never had any doubt (about the final field goal),” said Rhea, who scored the game-tying touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. “He (Rutiaga) is one of those kids who never stops, never gives up no matter what the problem is. We've been down 27-0 in the fourth quarter and he thinks we can come back.” First-year Munford head coach J.R. Kirby said kicking a field goal wasn't the plan until Covington got a couple of stops inside the 15. “Jovanny, a senior, we just put it in his hands,” Kirby said. “He's a kid that's my captain and the heart and soul of the football team and he came through in a big way.” The two teams combined for less than 350 yards of total offense and just 16 first downs. Covington had its best statistical quarter in the first, gaining 53 yards on the ground and 20 in the air. CHS was flagged for five of its 10 infractions in the opening period, stymying two different possessions. “We did not get it done on offense,” Covington head coach Marty Wheeler said. “We had no sense of urgency. We did not execute.” To make the situation worse, Aaron Fos-
“I believed
in myself and I kicked it.”

Kirby baptized as a Cougar Comparing Munford's win Friday night over Covington to a religious experience may be a classic case of journalistic hyperbole. But when first-year Cougar head coach J.R. Kirby got a jug of water dumped on his head moments after the 10-7 season-opening win, it looked kind of like a baptism. A bit of context is necessary to fully understand. Kirby served as an assistant at Covington during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, which ended in a state semifinal and state title game, respectively. He was a big reason for the team's success and was wellliked by his players. A photo of him celebrating with a group of Chargers after a big playoff win in 2012 appeared on the front JEFF IRELAND page of this paper. It's also worth noting that the program he took over last January was coming off a miserable season that included just two wins and a coach that was suspended before he resigned midway through the season. Also important to know is that, entering Friday night's game in Covington, Munford had lost three straight games to the Chargers. When hired, Kirby vowed to get things headed in the

New quarterback, coaches lead the way for BHS By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com There were a lot of Brighton Cardinals getting their feet wet Friday night at home against Carver in the season opener. It was the first game as a head coach for Robin Jacobs. Junior Austin Kelley was making his debut as a quarterback and offensive coordinator Blake Goforth was calling the plays in a varsity game for the first time. So far, so good. Kelley threw for two touchdowns and no interceptions and ran for another score as the Cardinals routed the Cobras 38-6. “There were a lot of people getting
a lot of firsts out there,” Jacobs said. “I though we did okay, but we've definitely got some room to improve a bunch.” After building a 24-0 halftime lead, Kelley scored on a 12-yard run early in the third quarter and Zack Camp added a one-yard TD run moments later to put the game completely out of reach. Kelley completed 14 of 19 passes for 155 yards. “It would have been more, but we had three drops,” said Jacobs. “I never would have dreamed he would have done that in his first game. That's good because a lot of what we do goes through him.” Breeland Austin caught a nine-yard
TD pass from Kelley in the first quarter to get the scoring started. After a 40-yard field goal from Austin Chapman, Kelley hit Terry Wayne White for a 46-yard touchdown later in the first period to put the Cardinals ahead 17-0. Camp, who finished with 62 yards on eight carries, ran for a 17-yard touchdown in the second quarter to push the lead to 24-0. White led all receivers with 82 yards on seven catches and Devin Neal caught four passes for 53 yards. The Cardinal defense held Carver to 137 yards and six first downs. Brighton's competition will increase considerably tomorrow night with a SEE BHS, PAGE A17
Junior A.J. Hightower made quite a debut as Tipton-Rosemark Academy's new quarterback Friday night at home in the season opener against Tupelo Christian Prep. He accounted for four of TRA's five touchdowns and racked up 223 all-purpose yards as the Rebels overwhelmed the visitors from Mississippi, 36-0. Hightower ran for a 78-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter to push the Rebels' lead to 22-0. He also scored from seven yards out in the first quarter for TRA's first touchdown and hooked up with senior Logan Stewart on a 25-yard scoring strike early in the second quarter. Meanwhile, the TRA defense made sure the lead would hold up, limiting Tupelo Christian to 115 yards and just four first downs. Stewart, who caught two passes for 65 yards, returned an interception 39 yards late in the first half to push the lead to 29-0. The scoring was capped off in the third period when Stewart hauled in a 40-yard TD pass from Hightower. Hightower rushed for 114 yards on five carries and completed 8 of 13 passes for 109 yards. Ethan Kizer chipped in for Rosemark with 63 yards on nine carries. The Rebels will host Tunica Academy tomorrow night in another non-league game before opening up league play Sept. 5 at home against Fayette Academy.

Lady Charger soccer starts with wins over North Side, JCM By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com
Covington’s Lady Charger soccer team opened the campaign with a 12-0 road whitewash of the Jackson Central-Merry Lady Cougars on Aug. 21. Iesha Tipton picked up where she left off last season, almost recording a double hat trick with five goals. Maddie Miller added a pair and Chelsea Dye, Natasha Kent, Hannah Howard, Haylee Timberlake and Madison Miller added a goal each in the rout. “This is a good start to the year,” said head coach Robert Luttrell. “We were able to play the second team for all of the second half to get them more game experience.” With five returning starters, Luttrell
is pleased with the athleticism on the field, but tempers his expectations as several new starters are playing soccer for the first time. “I’m optimistic and as positive as I’ve ever been about a group. They work harder than any group I have coached in the past,” he said. The addition of new assistant coach Scott Ray allows Luttrell to develop more players. Ray is instrumental in player conditioning. “Jackson Christian is on our side of an 11 team district,” Luttrell said. “They will be tough as they return all of the players who went to state last season. But we are not afraid of anybody. If we play up to capabilities, we’ll be tough to beat.” Covington beat Jackson North Side on Monday 3-2.
"We were out of sorts in the first half on Monday night against Jackson North Side," Luttrell said. Down 2-0 at the break, Covington outshot the Lady Indians 14-2 in the period, getting their first goal from Tipton as she was pushed to the ground, sandwiched between two defenders. Anne Marie Van Cleve provided the other two goals, both "laser shots,” according to Luttrell, from 18 yards out. The game winner came with 10 minutes left. CHS is 2-0 (2-0,15AA) headed into this week's play. Covington opens the home season tonight at home at 5:30 against Ripley. They host Jackson South Side at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 2.

BAPTISM
Continued from A16 right direction. While there are plenty of games left to play this season, the feeling among Munford's coaches, players and fans Friday night was that Kirby is doing what he promised. “I've always looked forward to beating Covington my senior year,” said Munford running back Brent Rhea, who scored the tying touchdown in the fourth quarter. “I've lost to them every year in my high school career. Coach Kirby told us he has our back, and we have his back. There wasn't a doubt in my mind he knew what
he was doing." “It means a lot,” said Munford senior Jovanny Rutiaga, who kicked the gamewinning field goal. “He was coach here for a long time and now he's with us and I'm proud to have him.” “What a great way for our kids to find a way to win,” Kirby said. “On the road in a hostile environment against a team and a program that's used to winning. We found a way to win. It was just a huge night. It's a good day to be a Cougar.” Kirby received countless hugs and handshakes while standing on the field
after the win. It was the very field where he helped the Chargers win a playoff game that sent them to the state title game in 2012. One of the longest hugs he received came from senior McKenzie Russell, who transferred from Covington to Munford over the summer. It seemed appropriate: Two former Chargers, who had just been officially baptized as Cougars, soaking up the moment.
Continued from A16 trip to Millington, which beat Germantown 28-0 last week. “Millington always gives us a good game,” Jacobs said. “It will definitely be a test. It's a good chance to see what we can do against a good team. It's a challenge we need if we're going to get to where we want to be.”
MUNFORD
Continued from A16 ter, the Chargers’ most skilled and experienced player on both sides of the ball, went out with a leg injury on the second play from scrimmage and not to return. The injury is not thought to be season ending. Meanwhile, the Charger defense was giving the Cougars problems as well. Munford managed only 13 yards on the ground in the first quarter and just 63 rushing yards in the first half. Cougar quarterback Jacob Ross played it close to the vest, attempting only two passes in the game, both of which were incomplete. The Chargers took a 7-0 lead at the 1:46 mark of the second period when Kelvin Stowers scooped up a Cougar fumble on a perfect bounce at the
Munford 20 and sailed untouched to the end zone for CHS’ only points of the night. Josh Owen added the PAT. Neither team could manage to break through in the third period. Munford tallied a total of 37 yards in the quarter to negative nine for Covington. What amounted to an offensive explosion for the Cougars (122 yards in the period) propelled them to a TD with 8:42 left in the game. Rhea finished off an eight-play, 85-yard possession with a two-yard run and Dalton McCann’s extra point knotted the score at 7-7. Sixty of those yards came on one play. Andre Thomas broke the longest play of the night, a 45-yard scamper from the Cougar 25 to the Charger 40.
Fifteen more were tacked on a late hit and the Cougars were in business on the Covington 25. The Chargers came right back after Munford's score, moving to a third and one at the Cougar 21 with less than five minutes remaining. A five-yard loss resulted in a fourth and 25 pass attempt that Rhea intercepted and returned to the Cougar 25. Another 15-yard personal foul against the Chargers gave the Cougars good field position. The stats in the game were telling. The Cougars totaled 188 net yards on 54 rushes. Covington had a meager 83 yards rushing. Taylor was 5 of 15 for 62 yards. Thomas led all rushers with 71 yards
on six carries. David Simon grounded out 48 yards on 16 carries, as did Xavier Throckmorton on 10 carries. T.J. Miller led the Covington attack, totaling 44 yards on seven carries. T.J. Smith added 12 runs for 33 yards for CHS. “Our defense played well enough to win,” Wheeler said. “But the credit goes to Munford. They made the plays and we did not. We have to play smart and execute and we did not. A defense cannot continually stay on the field and expect better results.” “Their kids played hard,” Kirby said about Covington. “They were undersized and they played hard all night. In the end, the Cougars just found a way to win.” Jeff Ireland contributed to this story.

Tipton County and the Civil War By RUSSELL BAILEY County Historian Retreat from Missionary Ridge Nov. 25-27, 1863 Continued from last week In a letter to his parents, John Sweet of Tipton’s Company C, 9th Tennessee infantry, Gen. George Maney’s brigade, wrote about leaving Missionary Ridge the night of Nov. 25th : “Then commenced the retreat (about 9 p.m.), the most disastrous one of the war; how sad it was to leave the poor boys who were killed. It was a beautiful moonlight night as we marched by to see these poor boys lying out on the cold ground after they had given their lives to their country, not to have a kind mother or sister to say farewell to them as they were ushered into eternity or to have a decent burial, but we went on…” After marching about a mile in rear of the Ridge, Maney’s troops met up
with Army of Tennessee Cmdr. Braxton Bragg and his staff. Here, they witnessed the bewildered and disorganized soldiers of Gen. John Breckinridge’s corps putting distance between themselves and the Yankees. Many of them were “hatless and gunless” a soldier noted. Bragg ordered Maney’s and States Rights Gist’s brigades to form a line of battle and engage any pursuing Federals they encountered. They were to wait until the last of the Confederates had crossed the railroad bridge; assist the cavalry troopers in burning the bridge and then fall back to Chickamauga Station. Bragg’s retreating army converged on Chickamauga Station on the Western and Atlantic (W. & A.) Railroad. This was the army’s supply depot guarded by the men of the 6th infantry regiment, First Kentucky Orphan brigade. Here, Bragg determined to move his battered army nearly 20 miles southeast to Ringgold, Ga. It was midnight when Maney’s bri-
gade arrived at the station. The men of the 1st and 27th Tennessee infantry were ordered to assist the Kentuckians in loading the commissary stores onto wagons and rail cars for evacuation. Troops and wagons began leaving after midnight. Large quantities of bacon, molasses, crackers, beans and forage for horses that could not be transported were to be burned. Many a hungry “Johnny Reb” helped themselves to the available foodstuffs. Men were seen marching away with a side of bacon on their bayonets and loading crackers in their haversacks; many were sticky and gummed up with molasses they had poured in their canteens. Maney’s soldiers of the 6th and 9th Tennessee were permitted to sleep for three hours. At 3 a.m., these regiments and Gen. Gist’s South Carolina brigade were ordered to form a line of battle ready to repel a Federal attack. Here, they remained until the rising of the sun on Nov. 26.
Two roads led out from the town of Chickamauga. One led slightly to the west before turning southeast. Four miles down this road was the village of Graysville, Ga. and depot on the W. & A. Railroad. Most of the army’s wagons and Gen. W. J. Hardee’s corps took this route. The division of Gen. Patrick Cleburne followed on this road as rear guard. The wagons and troops of Gen. John Breckinridge’s corps took the road leading to the east toward Concord Church. This road eventually turned southwest, intersecting the Graysville Road. Bragg ordered the brigades of Generals’ Gist and Maney to form the rear guard of this column; two batteries accompanied these brigades, Ferguson’s South Carolina and H. M. Bledsoe’s Missouri artillery. Col. J. W. Grigsby’s horsemen of the 1st, 2d (Woodward’s) and 9th Kentucky constituted the cavalry flank and rear of the infantry rear guards of Hardee and Breckinridge.

Since Miss Debbie (our chef on Sundays) also went to the wholesale show on Sunday after church, Mr. Bill, his son Paul and I had to search for another lunch location. We decided on Applebee’s. However, I like Debbie’s better! Have a blessed week.
Almyra Libby Click Hi everyone. It’s been a very interesting week. I went to my very first truck and tractor pull last Friday night in Brighton with Mr. Bill. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m sure the drivers put their all into it! There were even a couple of girls involved in this contest; one who did quite well. I understand the FFA has something to do with it. Anyway, it was fun and very family-orientated. There is so much trouble around the world, we should all be praying constantly for America’s future. Thank God here in Almyra the crops are producing wonderfully and things are reasonably quiet most of the time. It’s a feeling of knowing you are blessed. My daughter, Terri Barber, and grand-

Youth Villages seeking foster parents For those looking to make a difference in the lives of children, becoming a foster parent provides a rewarding opportunity to help a child in need. Youth Villages is looking for caring adults in the Covington-area to open their hearts and homes as foster parents to children who have suffered abuse, neglect or abandonment. Youth Villages will offer two free orientation sessions for those interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent. The orientation sessions will be held Thursday, Sept. 4, from
6-9 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 6, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Youth Villages will also offer two sets of free training classes to teach new foster parents how to address a child’s emotional and behavioral problems, as well as parenting and discipline techniques. Free training classes will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-9 p.m., beginning Tuesday, Sept. 9 and Saturdays at from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., beginning Sept. 13.
Foster parents provide children with a safe, comfortable environment and monitor their emotional growth, school progress and physical health. They also serve as positive role models to children who may lack caring adults in their lives. Youth Villages provides foster parents with 24-hour access to counselors, support groups and a monthly stipend to offset the cost of adding a child to the home. Foster parents also often have the first
right to adopt if the child becomes available for adoption. For more information about the upcoming training classes or how you can change the life of a child, contact Genesha Dorris, foster parent recruiter, at 901-252-7648 or genesha.dorris@youthvillages.org.

Mt.Carmel-Clopton Elaine Watkins Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another hot Southern day! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hard to even breathe outside the last few days with near 100 degree temperatures. There should be cooler temps later in the week and a chance of rain this weekend. Last Sunday, I wrote that the winds were blowing away our chance of rain; was I wrong! That night during church it rained hard and thundered; the power even blinked a couple of times. We got home to a sprinkling! But about 9 p.m. it hit and we received 1.76 inches here, but even more west of us. Liz and Justin even had some hail, which we did not need on our crops! We are thankful for what we got! This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm report: the corn is even drier. They are shelling over in Arkansas and we should be in a week or two. One more irrigation run on one farm Friday and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done. Beans look good, especially after the rain, and cotton is making progress in this hot weather. Clint is busy working on the combine, getting it ready for a big year. I ran to Brownsville for parts Wednesday and he and Cody Caldwell went to Sikeston, as well, for parts one day. Liz, Lyla and I went to Memphis to pick up a new chair for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? room but it had to be ordered, which weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do maybe this week. I gave away my old couch and chair in here, and then Liz and Justin found a couch that matches the couch and loveseat in the den and I bought it from them - cheap! So I can afford to buy a chair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I
canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to go get it! Thanks to Andy Burkeenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity again, seven of us went to see Casablanca Friday night at the Orpheum Theater. Bonnie Glass, Cammy Evans, Delores Whaley, Pam Tankersley, LaVerne Baxter, Paulette Graham and I stopped at Millington for supper then enjoyed Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman on the big screen! We had dessert on the way home; it was a great night! Thanks again, Andy! But, remember, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need tickets for Septemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rocky Horror Show!â&#x20AC;? Ha! Sunday, we had the annual Watkins reunion, and this was the first year with no original family members present. Uncle Charles Watkins and Uncle Leonard Watkins, the last two of the children of Ed and Nettie, both died this year. They were missed, but we had a big crowd and as much food as we do at fellowship meals! It was a nice day and so good to see everyone again! That night was the ice cream supper at the Covington Church of Christ, so we had a big eating day! I made grape salad, our new favorite (thanks to Charlotte Quinley for the recipe) and took gooey butter cookies left from the reunion, and they were handy for the ice cream supper. We had a big crowd, lots of freezers of homemade ice cream, a ton of desserts and a lot of fun! On our prayer list are Adley Henderson and Kali Langston, both little girls having tests; Jeff Gatlin, Donna Sonwineski, Carol Nance, Da-

vidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother; Lesa Hall, who had surgery; Steve Parker, H. A. Beasley Sr., Charlie Hardin, Florence Robertson and all those having treatments and all servicemen and women! Sympathy goes to Mindi Henderson in the death of her grandmother, Lillian Marie Pohl. That family has my prayers. Happy birthday this week goes to Aiden Sallee on Aug. 25, to Brad Evins, Pat Gatlin, Fay Hazlerig and Holly Hodge on the 27th and to Pat Stephenson on the 28th! From Clopton United Methodist Church: Sunday, Aug. 31, we will receive a special offering for Bread of Life Food Pantry at Covington First
UMC. Place your contribution in the plate but mark â&#x20AC;&#x153;food pantryâ&#x20AC;? on your check or put it in an envelope. Lovely stained glass windows have been installed in the Family Life Building and dedication of that building and the windows is planned for Sunday, Sept. 21 at 1 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Talk to Dee Reynolds if you want to help. The four windows across the front of the building will be backlit soon. Our charge conference with Rev. Tim Carpenter, the district superintendent, is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 5. The October potluck will be on that day instead of the 12th.
The date for Clopton Fest has been changed! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now Oct. 18 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. We need prizes and gift certificates to raffle off.

Starck wins $5,000 from Ritter Comm. Atoka resident Martine Starck recently won $5,000 from Ritter Communications, a local phone, Internet, cable and security provider. Starck, an eighth grade teacher at Covington Integrated Arts Academy, was overwhelmed when the communications company called to tell her she’d won the giveaway. “I couldn’t believe it. I had to call them back and make sure my winning wasn’t a joke,” said Starck. “I’ve had medical bills and a recent move and I wasn’t really sure how we were going to make it financially. This could not have happened at a better time.” Starck was one of more than 400 entered in the drawing. She and her two daughters, Carman and Camille, attended Friday’s check presentation. Additionally, Ritter donated 30 new copies of “Touching Spirit Bear,” by Ben Mikaelsen, a book Starck has her class read at the beginning of each school year.
