Moody becomes first woman in Dist. 81 seat

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PET OF THE WEEK

A win-win for Munford band

By Jessica cooke jcooke@covingtonleader.com

Munford High School’s marching band saw a well-earned victory at the USBands Southern States Championship event in Chattanooga on Saturday.

The band, comprised of over 200 of Munford’s high school students with director Barry Trobaugh at the helm, achieved the top overall

score of 95.35 with their “Light and Shadow” performance, as well as Best Music and Best Visual awards in their division.

The competition was very close, with Munford’s score guaranteeing their victory by only .2 points.

Munford band members are not strangers to such victories. In 2011, the Munford band became national champions in the USSBA competition by an even smaller scoring

margin. They finished second in this competition in 2009.

More recently, on Oct. 27 the band won the title of the 2012 Bandmasters Grand Champion as well as the Class AAAA Champion.

The Brighton High School band was also in attendance, placing 11th overall.

public safety

Father, son indicted Tuesday

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A Covington father and son were indicted this week on charges relating to misconduct and firearm possession, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced Tuesday.

In July, Jack Shelton Hall III, 41, was arrested after it was revealed he was acting in an official capacity while on medical leave from the Covington Police Department.

At that time, Hall, who was a sergeant with the department, ran a check on a handgun to determine whether or not the weapon was stolen.

The handgun was in the possession of his father, Jack Hall Jr., 61,a convicted felon.

Hall III was indicted on two charges of criminal responsibility for conduct of a felon in possession of firearms, official misconduct and misuse of official information. The indictment charges Hall III with knowingly allowing his father to be in possession

of the weapons and accepting the weapons from him as well.

He is currently out on bond and has subsequently been relieved of his duties as a police officer.

This week his father, a well-known Covington businessman, was indicted on 21 counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and three counts of illegal voting.

The TBI alleges Hall Jr. has been voting as a convicted felon by lying on his voter's application. The statute of limitations allows charging illegal voting for the most recent three incidences only.

He was arrested Tuesday and released on a $20,000 bond.

Former non-profit administrator arrested

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Bro. Allen Brown, the once-renowed administrator of Tipton Cares, Inc., was arrested Wednesday and charged with stealing money from the nowdefunct non-profit.

According to a press release from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Brown, 57, of Drummonds, was indicted on two counts of theft over $1,000 and one count of theft over $10,000.

The agency said an investigation in August 2011, when Brown was employed with the sheriff's office,

revealed Brown allegedly opened a credit card for Tipton Cares in his name and received a donation of a truck for the organization, which he, in turn, allegedly gave to a family member. Additionally, a certificate of deposit (CD) was transferred from the organization to an account held by Brown.

The incidences are reported to have taken place between November 2008 and June 2011.

Brown is free on a $15,000 bond.

Moody

Continued from A1 earned money and that our small businesses aren't overwhelmed with regulations put on them," she said.

Moody will be sworn in in January 2013.

Voter turnout Voters nearly set a new record with early turnout in this presidential election.

In Tipton County, an estimated 16,000 voters showed up early to cast their ballots and overall votes were 24,234. Election numbers put the county's turnout at 60.2 percent, which ranks second only to the 2008 turnout.

On the precinct level, Atoka had the highest voter turnout (67.61 percent) with Austin Peay (63.5) and Munford (61.1) following closely behind.

Across the county, the polls remained steadily busy throughout election day, many closing at 7 p.m. with voters still in line.

Contested races In Munford there was no question who would win the mayoral election, nor was it any surprise that Jere Hadley and Ed Timberlake won their races for aldermen in Covington, but there were several upsets across the county.

In Atoka, Walker Adams (1,395) defeated incumbent Chris McConnell (1,295). Incumbents Brett Giannini (1,691) and Bobby J. Hutchison (1,385)

held on to their seats and will serve another term. Adams will be sworn in on Tuesday, Dec. 4.

In Brighton, newcomers Sarah Crocker (728) and Melissa D. Sartain (554) have been elected, incumbent Phillip Mathis (470) kept his seat and incumbents George W. Smith and James K. Wyatt lost their re-election bids.

In Covington, Minnie Bommer (457) defeated incumbent Shelvie Rose (396) in the heavily contested District 1 race.

Congressman Stephen Fincher (R-Frog Jump) and Republican Senator Bob Corker won their elections in landslide victories. Tennessee Senator Mark Norris ran unopposed.

Referendums Gilt Edge had two referendums on the ballot Tuesday, and both measures were passed.

After receiving 88 percent of votes, voters will now elected their mayor by popular vote rather than appointing one from its pool of commissioners.

Additionally, 72 percent of Gilt Edge voters cast ballots in favor of an expansion to its Board of Commissioners, increasing the number from three to five.

FLASHBACK

GUEST OPINION

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

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

There are many Democrats I like, I do business with Democrats, and some in my family are very liberal and very Democrat. I just would not vote for them.

Now, there are Republicans I would not support as well, such as those who have betrayed the party principles. I was a supporter and campaign contributor J IM HARDIN to Governor Don Sundquist when he ran the first time. By the end of his first term he had called for a state income tax and lined himself up with Speaker Jimmy Naifeh and the Democrats so much that I voted for another in that race.

I have considered independent or third party options, but as we saw in 1992 with Ross Perot, conservatives end up splitting their vote and Democrats win with a plurality, not a majority.

Bill Clinton became President with only 42% of the popular vote. Like it or not, our two-party system is the best, if not perfect, option we have.

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

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

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

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

GUEST OPINION

Naifeh encouraged to relax, smell the roses

By Mack Easley Special to The Leader Jimmy Naifeh retired from his 38 years of service in the Tennessee Legislature on Nov. 6. Below you will see excerpts from his retirement speech as delivered to the general assembly.

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

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

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

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

“My dad came here from Lebanon and couldn’t even speak English!”

Naifeh said. “ He always told me what a privilege it was to live in this country and that we had a responsibility to give back. Whether it was my work with St. Jude or in the legislature, I’ve always tried to remember that and use what power I had to improve the lives of everyday people.”

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

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

However, you’re not obligated to contribute anything to your plan.

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

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

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

HARDIN

Continued from A4 ic conservatives would band together at the national level we could make a real difference in federal government.

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

Jim Hardin is a sixth-generation Tennessean and former Republican candidate for the District 81 Tennessee State House of Representatives seat. Retired from the Navy, Hardin writes opinion columns regularly for The Leader.

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

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

hope the rewards will be worth the pain. There is a tremendous difference in volunteering to sacrifice to help, and our government just taking without seeing results.

I prefer to be informed and understand what I am being asked to do.

This is a willingness to be a contributor for the betterment of all.

Our BHS Cardinal football team lost to Millington this past Friday night. Congratulations to them for their efforts and providing our community with football fever

this year. We look forward to next year. Now that we have two other teams from our county, let’s support them and their efforts to go further.

This only proves that our county has great athletic talent. It shines on all of us.

Danielle called me the day after hurricane Sandy's devastation to let me know the east side of O`ahu was under a tsunami warning the night before! Paul had to take the boys to higher ground.

They live approximately one mile from the

coast. This was from an earthquake in British Columbia. I know there was absolutely nothing I could do but pray for their safety. But she made the decision to take my worry factor away, too.

That’s what we mothers and grandmothers do - worry, worry, worry about things we can't do anything about.

Happy Birthday to my stepdad, Emil Nemec, my niece, Olivia Williams, my sweet hubby, Neal, and one I'll always remember during the holidays, my Mom. All these

birthdays happen to be in the first week and a half of this month. So as you can see, we had a busy month and then the holiday season was upon us.

But now it's not as busy.

My pop, as we called my stepdad, is in a graduated assisted living residence in Memphis. Olivia lives in Atlanta with her family. My Mother is not on this earthly plane, so the only one we can dote on is Neal. And I do wish him a big birthday wish for lots of love, joy, and devotion from all of us and especially me!

Dunlap Retirement Center

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

Now let me introduce you to two brand new residents. Welcome, Mr. Vernon Hendrickson.

Pepaw is what everybody calls him, because he’s everybody’s Pepaw.

I’m not sure how it’s spelled, but that’s what it sounds like to me. He doesn’t care as long as you talk to him. He loves to talk. Welcome, Pepaw!

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

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

so glad to have you here with us at Dunlap Retirement Center!

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

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

Hello my friends.

Well, today is the day!

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

If we don't show unification, as a people,

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

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

just for them.

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

loves him. So happy birthday again, Bo! We also have Ms. Evelyn Fulks, whose birthday will be on Nov. 10 (which is also my 34th wedding anniversary). We are so glad to have Ms. Evelyn here with us at Dunlap.

She is a sweetie, and has the sweetest and most fun family. Her daughter comes here on Thursday nights and always brings ice cream, and everyone sits around and eats ice cream. Sometimes they even eat some popcorn and they have a ball. All the other residents in McCalla love Thursday nights too because they know Carol is coming.

of shaking the trees so the leaves will fall off and he will have something to do. He has been working in our yard all last week.

I think he has left the wheelbarrow out under the trees so they will fall in it, and he will not have to rake them.

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

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

We will make you a good offer.

Tipton County and the Civil War: September-October 1862 Compiled by Russell B. Bailey, Tipton County Historian

Davis Bridge & Corinth Tipton’s soldiers in the 7th Tennessee Cavalry fought the Federals at Davis Bridge, eight miles from Chewalla on Sept.

25. Some 290 Federals of the 11th Illinois and 15th Michigan were attacked at their camp and routed. Union losses were 140 men killed and wounded including 63 prisoners; the 7th Tennessee suffered no casualties.

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

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

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

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

Covington A Federal force from Fort Pillow composed of elements of the 72nd Illinois Infantry and 2d Illinois Cavalry converged on Covington Sept. 30.

On the court square Unionists saw a Confederate flag flying from the Mitchell Hotel. A closer examination found the hotel’s owner, Robert J. Mitchell, sitting on his porch with his rifle resting on his lap. Mitchell told the Federal officer that he would shoot the first man who tried to take his flag down. Wishing to avoid bloodshed, a Union officer offered a compromise. The Northerner assured Mitchell that no Union flag

would be hoisted over Covington if the Southerner would take down the Confederate colors.

Mitchell agreed and hauled down his flag.

Federal soldiers went into the office of the Covington Weekly Spy newspaper, removed the printing press and threw it down a well. Former Covington Mayor Dr. Lafayette Hill, Captain of Co. I, 7th Tennessee Cavalry, was captured. Union Colonel F. A. Starring reported on the Covington raid: “Captain Frank Moore’s Co. D, 2d Illinois Cavalry…behaved more like brigands than soldiers...they robbed an old Negro man who kept Gaines’ Ferry…of some $19.00; that too after he had assisted in ferrying them over, charging them nothing…some eight of them robbed an

old woman…of $13.00 in silver—all she had…

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

CHRIS O’BRIEN Manager

TN CHARTER 640

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

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

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

We had a big weekend!

More than 40 church members went to the "Crossing Borders" retreat at West Kentucky Youth Camp. Six women went to the Opryland Hotel, and everyone got home safely.

Wanda Townsend, Delores Whaley, Judy Dun-

away, Paulette Graham, Deborah Cates and I left late Friday and got there about 9 p.m. We walked around a little and went to bed. Saturday morning we went to Monelle's, an antebellum home built by a railroad man in the 1800's, and had breakfast at a big table where the food was passed around.

We had three other women join us, and we enjoyed biscuits and gravy, cinnamon rolls, eggs, fried chicken, ham, turkey and sausage, cheese grits, fried potatoes, fried apples and peach preserves - all for $14 and change.

They have two locations and we went to the one out by the airport, close to the hotel. When we got back we went straight to the mall for a couple of hours, then went back to the room and rested and watched a movie.

That night we rode the boat inside the hotel, ate

and watched the dancing lights before having some ice cream and turning in. We found a church right across the road and enjoyed their service and Sunday School. We stopped by the Loveless Cafe on the way home for lunch at a picnic table, then we shopped in Jackson on the way home. We pulled into the church parking lot 10 minutes before evening services.

It was a great weekend!

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

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

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

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

The campaign was a huge success and we are so proud of how hard our students worked to make it all happen. We also would like to remind all students and parents of this week’s annual fall bookfair that will be open from November 5th to November 13th.

Please join us for one of our family nights at the Bookfair on Tuesday November 6th and Monday November 12th from 4:30 to 6:30PM each night.

There are many more wonderful activities going on at CIAA! Feel free to check out the great things your children are doing at our new website at ciaaknights.blogspot. com! Go Knights.

Strong opening act

Chargers dominate, advance

TSSAA playoffs: Round 2

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

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

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

Johnston White skipped into the end zone from 18 yards out with the second of his six TDs on the SEE CHS, PAGE A21

What: Covington (11-0) vs. Sheffield (7-4) Where: Covington When: Friday at 7 p.m.

Key pwlayers: CHS - RB Johnston White, WR/DB Carlos Williams, RB Tyrone Tipton; SHS – RB Tarrance Dixon, QB Brandon Leachman, S Trevaughn Kidd Notables: White has been all but unstoppable lately, tying Covington's record for most touchdowns in a season last week.

He's got 33 … Covington's defense has been just as impressive, holding Hillcrest to negative yardage in last week's round one win … Dixon, a senior, will be the focus of Covington's defense. He's had a huge year with 1,396 yards and 23 touchdowns, both team highs … Sheffield passes about as infrequently as Covington, so expect a runheavy game … Don't expect the Knights to be a pushover like Hillcrest was last week.

Sheffield beat Raleigh-Egypt, a team that gave Brighton some trouble this season, last week. The Knights lost to Mitchell, the top 4A team in Memphis, by just a point in September.

What's next: The victor advances to the quarterfinals and plays the winner of the Mitchell-Trezevant game next Friday. Covington would host with a win.

Brighton, Munford fall in first round Top-seeded JNS dispatches Munford

Trojans stop streaking Cardinals

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But it was all Millington after that.

A 40-yard touchdown pass from Timbs to George Odum pushed the

Boxers in action Nov. 20 in Memphis Malcolm Terry Jr, left, and Ira Terry will be on a 12-fight card Nov. 20 at New Daisy Theater in Memphis.

Covington native Ira Terry will take on Verquan Kimbrough, a threetime amateur national champ. Malcolm Terry Jr. is a senior at Brighton High School. BHS students will be admitted for a discounted price of $10.

Bell time is 7 p.m.

Former world champ Roy Jones Jr. will be a special guest. The event is raising money for a national campaign against bullying.

lead to 28-14 midway through the third.

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

“Penalties hurt us and we couldn't get into a rhythm,” said an emotional Brighton head coach Will Wolfe following the game while giving hugs to several seniors in tears. “(It was lack of) execution on our part. They played good. Coach (Chris) Michael did a great job of get-

SEE BHS, PAGE A21

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

The eighth-seeded Cougars led 7-3 in the second quarter and trailed by just a touchdown at the half, but North Side scored 21 straight points in the third quarter and ended visiting Munford's season with a 4517 win.

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

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

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

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

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

COMMENTARY

John: Always ready with an answer

By RALPH KELLEY Special to The Leader John 1:19-27 It is thought that John the Apostle was first a disciple of John the Baptist before he was a disciple and then an apostle of Jesus.

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

Although these two sects hated

each other, they did seem to have a common cause against John the Baptist. And in the usual way of any ruling class, they attempted to have John incriminate himself by asking, “who are you?”. And John correctly confessed that he was not the Messiah. “What then” they asked, “are you Elijah?”, “are you the Prophet?” Each time John evades their trap and denies either. This also proves that John did not know or realize that he was the one prophesied in the Old Testament that would come in the “spirit and power of Elijah”. Once again the religious skeptics ask John, trying to pin him down, “Who are you, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”. John answered their questions in the negative, now responding to their last inquiry, he answers in the positive; “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: make straight the way of the Lord”. By quoting the prophecy from Isaiah, John lays claim to being the herald as he applied this prophecy to himself.

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

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

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

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

2012-13 HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL PREVIEW

MHS girls bring back five starters

Cardinals will field very young team

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

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

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

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

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

The Lady Warriors have been one of the best teams in the state for years.

They have a player who has already signed with national champ Baylor and advanced to the Class AAA state quarterfinals a year ago.

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

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

A slashing forward who can handle the ball on the perimeter, Lee averaged 14 points and eight rebounds during the regular season. In the postseason she scored 18 a game and was named the district regular season and tournament MVP. Munford's offense revolves around Lee getting to the hole and perimeter players making threes. Seniors Alex Turner and Shaliyah Wiggins, as well as sophmore Kierra Richardson, can all knock it down from beyond the arc.

Senior Lauren Zvolanek mans the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Seven seniors graduated as well.

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

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

“He's a utility guy who can play different positions,” Rogers said. “We'll be looking for a lot of minutes out of him.”

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

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

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

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

“We're young,” Rogers said. “We're looking for a big-time player in this group.

We're going to win some, and we're going to lose some. The big thing will be how come back after losses … and wins.”

Munford senior Robneisha Lee, last year's district MVP, returns to lead a loaded Lady Cougar squad. Photo

post and does the dirty work around the basket.

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

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

Munford's fortunes have improved since Poindexter took over two seasons ago.

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

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

Hunter safety is important this time of year Filed for registration with the US Patent and Trademark Office, July 2009.

First use in commerce, November 2010.

Rendered February 2011 by John Conti <jconti@mediamonitors.com>

I first wrote this column on Dec. 23, 2010. It was then meant to be a “heads ups” to the moms and dads who were pondering what to get their children for Christmas.

It did not give them much time to act or react to Santa Claus.

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

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

Each year moms and dads ponder on what to give the children for Christmas and m o r e Wildlife Chatter often

By Arnold Bull than not it might turn out to be a gun. When the children are young, the gun could be a cap pistol or a water gun, as they get older the ammunition changes to BB’s and pellets or maybe arrows instead. When children or grandchildren get

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

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

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

al Defensive Pistol Association. These rules would and do apply to all firearms regardless of caliber, gauge, length or ammunition. Remember: A gun can be a very safe tool; it depends on the user. Here are the rules.

If you do not access to others, there are only four.

Rule No. 1: The gun is always loaded.

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

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

Rule No. 4: Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.

Please teach not only your children how to safely

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

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