ISAAC BRINGS RAIN

Shot in Atoka, this photo shows lightning from a storm in Memphis Sunday night. Photographer Curtis Mayo said, " Three-fourths of the sky was clear with stars. However, the southern sky had thunderstorms with a height over 50,000 feet. The thunderstorms had continuous lighting strikes for hours."

Storm doesn't end drought, but brings much-needed precipitation

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com The remnants of Hurricane Isaac arrived in the Mid-South over the weekend, dumping several inches of rain in an area experiencing extreme drought conditions.

And though the rain helped, it was not a drought-buster, said Action News 5 Meteorologist John Bryant.

"The rain cut into it, it did make a dent, but it didn't bust it," he said.

According to Bryant, 2-3 inches of rain was reported in the area as Isaac made its way across the country's midsection. Some areas saw more,

some areas saw less.

"It came down fast and there were varying amounts," he said. "In isolated areas there was four inches of rainfall and then in other areas it was only one."

Additionally, the storm brought with it high winds that knocked down trees and electrical poles and a brilliant lightning show Sunday evening. No rain fell over Tipton County that day, but the clouds, which reached a height of 50,000 feet, produced lightning that could be seen from Memphis.

Following the path of Hurricane Katrina, the storm that devastated

the New Orleans area in 2005, Isaac caused mandatory evacuations along the Louisiana coast.

The storm made landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River on Aug. 28 and at least nine deaths – five in Louisiana and two each in Mississippi and Florida – have been reported.

A total of 44 fatalies – 41 direct, three indirect – has been reported from the Leeward Islands to the United States. Initial damage estimates were at $3 billion.

Bryant said the Mid-South is still at a 15-inch rain deficit for 2012.

Q&A WITH TOMMY HILL

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

Today we are publishing a chat with Tommy Hill, an independent who is running for state representative in District 81, which was recently redrawn to include only Tipton County.

tractors. I still love tractors.

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

A: I wanted to be a farmer. I just loved

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

A: Right now we don't have any. I garden. I play a little golf, fish when I can. I work in the yard. I

Q: What person had the biggest influence on you growing up?

A: I'd say my father (Marvin Earl Hill, Jr., died 1999). He was my hero, my role model.

He flew dive bombers in World War II and aircraft in Korea. He also had some Vietnam experience. He did some training during Vietnam.

have about three acres I need to mow right now.

Q: Why did you decide to run for state rep?

A: I thought about it for quite some time. As long as the speaker was there, I wasn't going to run against him. My wife worked for him (as Tipton County's liaison).

When he became speaker, he called her.

He called Cristi and I don't know much of anybody who would turn that down … I grew up here. My family's been here a long, long time, since the 1830s. I was pretty convinced I was going to do it early on. I waited around to see if somebody would get in it I could support.

It got down to the last day of qualifying and I talked to the people at the election commission.

They gave me a list of the people that had qualified. I didn't know any of them. What I want to do is represent everybody in this county.

They were all running in a partisan manner, either Democrat or Republican.

Now that we're our own district, I feel like we need somebody that's going to represent everybody. I think that if a partisan person gets elected, as a freshman, they're going to have to go to Nashville … I didn't particularly want to go to Nashville and have to be instructed by someone from Johnson

City what to do for my people in Tipton County.

I want to be able to vote for the things that I think the people here want.

Whether that's realistic, we'll see, but that's what I've got in mind going.

Q: What have you learned about politics while campaigning?

A: It takes more time being the candidate than I ever thought it would.

Enormous amount of your time is taken up, especially when you have another job you have to do. I know almost all the other legislators have jobs or companies they have to attend to … I've worked in campaigns, but being a candidate is much different.

Q: Why did you decide to run as an independent?

A: I'm kind of the guy who always voted for the person I thought would do the right job. I voted for Jimmy Naifeh every time. I thought he was doing a good job. I have independent thoughts. Some of my thoughts are far, far right, and some are middle of the road. I just didn't want one party telling my how I should think about what affects our people here.

Continued from A1 process. The first stage identified finalists through a weighted criteria selection process that took into account TVAAS growth and TCAP improvement. This process also factored in attendance rates and socioeconomic status. College-readiness data, such as ACT and college-going rates, were considered for high schools and districts.

The second stage will consist of site visits to the finalists to document the policies and practices that have enabled them to make significant gains in student achievement.

"We're real excited about it," said Tipton County Director of Schools Dr. Buddy Bibb. "We're very proud that out of 136 systems in the state, we're one of three finalists."

Bibb said it felt great to have not only the district but one of the district's schools in the running for the prize.

"I'm proud of the teachers and staff and the work done over the years and in our classrooms every day. This is the reason why we're getting this recognition," said Bibb.

He also credits students with the achievement.

"These students are taking education seriously," he said. "The future of our society rests on how well we do in our schools."

The SCORE Prize event, which will take place on Oct. 8, is being held in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of Education’s annual Education LEADership Conference (LEAD).

Bibb said no concrete plans for the prize money have been discussed, but should the district win he anticipates school board members will vote to put the sum back into instructional programs.

Narcotics investigators saw Hunter, 39, and several ingredients used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. He was removed from the residence for his safety as well as the safety of investigators on the scene due to the chemical fumes present.

During the investigation investigators did locate several components for producing meth and a meth lab commonly known as a “one pot shake and bake”, ad-

GUEST EDITORIAL

Come home to the Republican party When the Republican Party was formed in the 1850s, it held two issues as its key focus – support American business with lower tariffs and regulations, and the elimination of slavery that kept, as Lincoln put it, “our house divided.” When African-Americans were allowed to vote and hold office, they were Republicans. Tennessee saw significant votes for Republicans through the 1950s, with the famous Church family in Memphis leading the way in support of Dwight Eisenhower.

So, what changed? How was the Democratic Party, while still mired in the remaining vestiges of Jim Crow, able to influence a majority of the black vote over to their side? As a semi-historian I’ll answer that question, but J IM HARDIN first a few things to point out to my Democratic friends who claim Republicans are anti-minority or don’t like President Obama. Now for some history.

First, slavery remained persistent in the Democratic South, and when Jim Crow and segregation were established by the 1890s, it was the Democratic-controlled South where these awful policies took hold. I don’t think a Republican ever lynched a black man.

The “progressive” Democratic president Woodrow Wilson instituted segregation in Washington, D.C. He was known to support the idea that blacks were mentally inferior. His Republican successor, Warren G. Harding, ordered all facilities to be desegregated.

In the 1930s, boss Ed Crump, Democrat of Memphis, was in charge of doling out New Deal pork and he left African-Americans out of that dole.

Orval Faubas was Democratic governor of Arkansas who stood at the doors of the schools to help prevent the implementation of Brown vs. Board of Education.

It was Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who ordered federal troops to Arkansas to protect black students trying to go to school. Don’t forget also that George Wallace, another prominent Democrat, stood against segregation before his conversion after a crippling assassination attempt.

Every Democrat congressman in the South in the 1960s, including Senator Albert Gore, Sr., voted against the Civil Rights Act and most against the Voting Rights Act. It was the Republican minority in Congress that joined the few Democrats from the Northeast and West to get these passed. When George H. W. Bush lost his Texas seat in Congress in 1970, one of the main issues against him is that he was seen as too soft on the “black issues.” He lost to a Democrat.

So, why did African-Americans jump so solidly to the Democratic Party in the 1960s? Well, it all started with the 1940 elections where President Roosevelt was trying to shore up support for an unprecedented third term. After spending years ignoring his wife on social issues related to minorities, Roosevelt now needed their help. He called in many prominent black leaders, especially among the clergy, and essentially offered those jobs, money and/or policies they had been demanding. In exchange, they would campaign for Roosevelt. The result is that more blacks voted for Democrats in 1940, though still by a razor-thin margin.

Roosevelt essentially picked up on St. Patrick’s method. Win the leaders and you get the led. President Johnson did the same thing as he worked to get the Great Society bills passed, and was recorded in the Oval office saying that passage of the welfare bills would have those (then he used the “N” word) voting Democratic “for the next 200 years.”

As to the charge that Republicans are against President Obama because he is black, that is just diversionary bunk. It was Republicans who voted for Dr. Jesse Cannon for state house in 2004. Democrats voted against him. I dare say that most of us would vote for Condi Rice, not because she is black but because where she stands on policies and issues.

I would argue that it is time for African-Americans to come home to the Republican Party their ancestors helped found. Pro-life, pro-marriage, etc. I’ve been told by my friends, black and white, that the community would not listen to me because I am white. If that is so, then I would argue they are the ones who haven’t lived up to Dr. Martin Luther King’s demand that we should judge a man by “the content of his character, not the color of his skin.”

If you have information, don't hold on to it.

Many years later on the front porch of Mr. Ben’s emporium a little gossip emitted. A few hun’ert years ago, small country stores were prevalent every few miles. Seems like a few folks would get a little piece of money and purchase a couple of bottles of paregoric over the counter from Mr. Ben. Then ease across the road to Thompson

Did you have a sore throat? No problem, just swab with pure poison silver nitrate. Some swabs were constructed from chicken feathers shaved down to the end to resemble a modern day tickler. At least it tickled your sore throat.

If silver nitrate wasn’t available, well run in a substitute miracle cure of a tablespoon of sugar with three or four drops of coal oil. I was told any more than four drops of coal oil would make you a little nauseated. That citified talk for making country folks ‘low’ sick.

My fellow Southern Country Americans, I’m not saying what was right, left or wrong.

We did what the good Doctors thought was best at the time. There are jillions of so called cures and remedies.

Just how many can you recall?

READERS’ VIEWS Dear editor, On Saturday, Aug. 25 the Tipton County Veterans Council hosted it’s quarterly pancake breakfast fundraiser at the Restoration Church in Munford. This time, however, the breakfast was a part of the on-going community fundraising efforts for Corporal “CB” Brown, USMC and his family. The Veterans Council would like to thank everyone who attended and acknowledge the support that we’ve received over the past year from The Restoration Church in Munford, it’s pastor Rev. Mike Gibson, and especially from Barbara and Rick Dorn.

Without them, the fundraiser would not have been nearly as successful as it was.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says Social Security will post nearly $600 billion in deficits, its first since the program was last overhauled in the 1980s.

Even more troubling, projections show nothing but red ink until 2037, when the Social Security Trust Funds are exhausted.

One thing we do know with certainty: if we do nothing at all, and make no changes of any kind, these important programs will simply run out of money. This has nothing to do with politics; it is simple mathematics. You cannot spend more in benefits than you take in. When expenditures are running higher than income, it is just a matter of time until bankruptcy is reached.

The failure is to do nothing. Many people depend on the Social Security and Medicare benefits to pay for food, housing, heating and medical treatment. It would be wrong to see those people driven into financial hardship because we refused to meet this challenge while there was still time to protect these programs.

The choice is up to us. I hope we will seize this opportunity to safeguard and protect the two programs that mean so much to so many people.

Military Matters Navy Seaman Recruit Paul D. Reeves, son of Jennifer L. Reeves of Leicester, N. C. and Paul D. Reeves, of Munford, Tenn., recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Reeves completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.

The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations". This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ''Navy'' flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.

EDUCATION

MHS students put the culture in agriculture

By McKenzie Manning All too often students endure classes one lecture at a time. They are shown slides and illustrations about other cultures but are never able to actually see and personally experience the agriculture in various places.

The GoFFA program was created to allow students the opportunity to learn about agriculture in regions other than our own. This year, GoFFA made its first international trip to Costa Rica.

Ten travelers suited up for the actionpacked tour.

They included Ashley Bringle, Neil Bringle, Kelly Hendershott, Ted Davenport and Carrie Mize, plus Munford FFA students Payton Hendershott, Rebekah Davenport, Margaret-Ann Mize, Alex Pitts and Cory Wright.

While on their nine-day trek though Costa Rica, the group was exposed to multiple adventures and countless exciting experiences. One event was watching sea turtles lay eggs. Everyone was educated on the seven step process and were even able to hold the eggs.

While watching the sea turtles, they were lucky enough to witness a tropical storm brewing on the ocean-covered horizon. Another highlight to this trip was going on the chocolate tour where they attended a seminar about the entire chocolate making process, from bean to candy bar.

The group learned about various native plants as well, such as pineapples, coffee beans and banana plants.

They were able to have a very handson experience by visiting the banana plantation and observing the tasks performed.

As well as learning about familiar plants, they were even able to try some local fruits, momin chino being the favorite amongst our travelers.

The group also encountered many species of monkeys: spider monkeys, howler monkeys and white -faced capuccin monkeys.

They also saw other exotic animals such as otters, tree frogs, and caimans.

In addition to being educational, this trip did have its fair share of relaxation and fun. Seeing the serene surroundings and flourishing flora of the rainforest had a very powerful impact on many of the travelers. Some of our West Tennessee born-and-raised students were even awestruck to see the many majestic waterfalls that Costa Rica had to offer. The group relaxed in the natural hot springs, zip-lined across a rainforest in the midst of a thunderstorm, had a day of intense kayaking on Arenal Lake, hiked across a suspension bridge and white water rafted along the Sarapiqui river.

GoFFA has successfully lived up to its motto: "Putting the culture in agriculture." Munford FFA is eager to provide more students with this experience, already planning more GoFFA trips.

This was a vacation of a lifetime, providing memories that will never be forgotten.

James and I packed up and drove to Red Bay, Alabama, last Tuesday, and stayed a couple of nights there with Annette Petree, formerly of Covington. She is in bad health but cooked fantastic meals, which she always has. Stayed up both nights talking until midnight. Fun trip and it was good to see Tom, Jon and his family, and grandsons Mark and Shane and his little one. Has been years since we've been down to see Jon's big hog operation (five houses). He's even built another one since we've been there.

No excuse for just a three hour drive, not to go more often.

At the Covington Church of Christ, we had "Back to School Night" last night with hamburger and hot dogs. Sides and desserts provided by members. We had our usual "test", things like

the first 10 inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Game, all seven dwarves, difference between an acute and an obtuse angle, etc. Some I got, some I didn't. Some were trick questions, like what was the president's name in 1970. Barack Obama! Fun night! Thanks J. J. Brown, for all your hard work!

To answer the question readers were calling about last week, the pineapple cake just takes two ingredients: Angel Food Cake Mix and a 16 or so ounce can of crushed pineapple, not drained.

That's it - two ingredients - and it's really good!

The Civil War in Tipton: July 1862 Compiled by Russell B. Bailey, Tipton County Historian.

On July 2, a lady from Portersville wrote her husband at Tupelo: “We have had…exciting times since our army left Fort Pillow…First it has cotton burners; their work of destruction proved very unjust as they only burned a part, making some quite poor. Then came the cotton buyers & made some men almost rich… now somebodys are going round burning all the cotton of the speculator…They are night workers; no one has any idea who they are. Mr. Strong’s gin house was burnt Thursday night…

Your Pa and uncle sold their cotton to Vandyke for 20 ¼ cents a pound in gold…They received pay at home & then delivered it at Randolph.”

A lieutenant in the 51st Tennessee, a Fort Donelson p.o.w., penned the following: July the 6 1862 My Dear Wife, I send you some verses which I have composed in my lonesome hours since I have been in prison. I have nothing new to write…I am well except something like rheumatism in my left arm...

Remember all the children for me. May God bless and protect you all is the prayer of your af-

fectionate companion.

Grant in O Lord in haven to meet And live together then, And ever more each other greet Thy glories then to share.

O my Wife could I this night Through darkness and the cold I know thou would receive me As thou hast in days of old.

I know you would receive me there And lead me by your grace But I am now taken afar And I can’t see your lovely face.

O could I hear your tender voice I would even follow thee But far in enemies’ land I take Where thy face I cannot see.

O nest at home I long to find Dear wife, I know thou art I have thy meek and lowly mind Thine image enstamped upon my heart.

O Lord, forced that I should stay In such a prison as this Till I am called to stow away

September is suicide awareness month NASHVILLE— In Tennessee, an estimated 900 men, women, and children die by suicide each year. More people die by suicide each year than from homicide, AIDS, or drunk driving. Suicide is the leading cause of violent deaths in our state, nationally, and worldwide, far above homicide and death due to natural disasters.

Suicide is the thirdleading cause of death among youth and young adults ages 15-24 in Tennessee and throughout the entire nation. According to the Tennessee Department of Health, there were 932 recorded suicide deaths in our state, at a rate of 14.7 per 100,000 people.

In almost all cases, suicide can be traced to unrecognized, untreated, or poorly treated mental illness. As if the emotional and psychological toll

were not enough, suicide and suicide attempts cost the state of Tennessee $1 billion a year in medical treatment, lost wages, and lost productivity.

The Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN) and its allies in the public health, mental health, and social service fields are joining forces to recognize the month of September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. During this annual observance, TSPN and its allies arrange several educational and memorial events across Tennessee. These projects help teach the general public about the problem of suicide and how it canbe prevented.

They also give us an opportunity to remember those lost to suicide; to encourage survivors of suicide, survivors of suicide attempts, and people who have triumphed

over mental illness; and to recognize individuals who have made notable contributions to suicide prevention efforts in our state.

As part of this observance, mayors and county executives across Tennessee will receive proclamations declaring September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, which they will sign in alth policy.

Additional information about Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and the Pledge to Prevent Suicide is available from the TSPN central office at (615) 297-1077 or tspn@ tspn.org. or TTY line: 1-800-799-4TTY (4889) For non-emergency information on suicide prevention, contact the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network at (615) 297-1077 or tspn@tspn. org.

To everlasting life.

Hi everyone.

Well, we got a little rain.

However, not enough to save all the dead trees you see everywhere from the terrible drought we've had. Charlie and I spent Labor Day cutting dead limbs off some of our trees. Charlie had a dead tree to fall over at his homeplace, and while Mr. Thornton Fee was already over there, he offered to help Charlie cut up that tree.

My son-in-law, David Kidd, is trying to teach

my granddaughter, Addie, who will soon be seven, how to bow hunt.

She wants to do everything her dad and brothers do.

I suppose I've got to accept today girls are not the same as our generation.

Salem Presbyterian Church Worship is at 11 a.m.

Everyone is always welcome. Rev. Charles Todd is the minister. We welcome Dawn Draffin into our membership by reaffirmation of her faith in Jesus Christ. The Disciple Makers Equipping con-

His name is Christopher Lemons. If you know Chris and see him, please take the time to tell him how proud you are of him and the fantastic job he did to finish his project!!! He and his crew of younger scouts completely made the director’s house look like a brand new place! He scraped all the windows and sills, thoroughly cleaned them, painted them, which is a pains taking task in itself.

Then they went back and scraped again, which is severely tedious work, caulked them all, and cleaned all 18 windows again. They took all the storm windows off, cleaned them and put them back, made a new light cover for the front porch light that was very dilapidated. Power washed the house, the big long porch, the steps, the other porch, the back concrete patio, cleaned the under porch and the carport under porch! Built and painted nice new frames for the air

vited.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL: COVINGTON AT BRIGHTON • MILLINGTON AT MUNFORD • BISHOP BYRNE AT ROSEMARK

Cards, Chargers clash again Covington and Brighton meet Friday night in Brighton with the Cardinals owning a five-game winning streak over the Chargers.

Brighton owns five-game winning streak over Covington What: Covington vs. Brighton Where: Brighton When: Friday, 7 p.m.

Key players: CHS – RB Johnston White, WR Carlos Williams, DT Jaidarious Temple; BHS – QB Brady Stewart, RB Antonio Dickerson, WR Artez Harris

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Covington head coach Marty Wheeler and his football team have more important goals than winning the unofficial Tipton County football championship.

Winning a district title and making another deep playoff run are probably the two biggest.

But beating Tipton County rivals Brighton and Covington in the same season, something Wheeler's never done as a head coach and something the program hasn't achieved since 2006, is definitely a goal.

“We talked about that when we first came back,” said Wheeler, who served as an assistant coach for the Chargers for several years before returning as head coach in 2009. “We want to get back to where we used to be in this county.”

After beating Munford two weeks ago, the Chargers (3-0) are halfway there.

The next, and biggest, obstacle will have to be hurdled when the Chargers take the 10-minute trip down Highway 51 tomorrow night to take on Brighton, which has beaten Covington five straight times.

Brighton (1-1), which beat Covington 2110 last season, comes in at 1-1.

A loss to Riverdale in Week 0 was clearly their best performance of the season. The Cardinals played toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the state for two and a half quarters.

“They lost some key players last year,” Wheeler said, “but they still have several key guys back. They always do a good job of finding a way to get the ball to their playmakers.”

Brighton will be well-rested for the showdown. Last week, while several

teams scrambled to move games to Thursday and played through bad weather, the Cardinals enjoyed a bye week.

Covington beat Dyersburg last Thursday after trailing 3-0 at the half, a week after routing Munford.

See pages Tomorrow night's A19-20 game won't affect district standings and may have for more no bearing on playoff sports, seedings, but there's little including doubt it's important to the stories on combatants. last week's “We've been close (to sweeping Brighton and games.

Munford),” said Wheeler, “but right now Brighton has our number … It's something that's important to our guys.”

COMMENTARY

Lest we forget

By EMILY PEYTON COOK Special to The Leader 2 Chronicles 34 September can’t roll around with out reminding me of that dreadful day in 2001. As an Ole Miss art student, I watched the eleventh of September play out live before my eyes on a big screen T.V. in the student union. As the day progressed, classes were canceled so that students and teachers could mourn the America we once knew and reflect on how that very day would change everything.

The following morning, I picked up a a publication to read this headline, “LEST WE FORGET.” In that moment, I wondered how we could ever forget the horrors of terrorism on American soil, yet the headline suggested that we might one day fail to remember the tragedy.

Forgetful, we are. God knows we are. His word serves as one big

reminder of who He is and how we are to respond to His holiness.

It warns us over and over again of the wrath that follows disobedience to His word and turning away from Him. Generations come and go. Some follow God. Some don’t. In King Josiah’s day, Israel had run so far from God that they didn’t even access the Bible. One day the Book of the Law was discovered in the temple. Josiah had recently removed all idol worship from Israel and cleaned out the temple. God’s word was found and He tore His robe in grief for personal disobedience and the disobedience of God’s people.

He reinstituted the Passover, a reminder of God rescuing His people out of Egypt. Israel’s firstborn sons were spared as the death angel passed over homes with the blood of the Lamb over their doorposts.

They needed a celebration each

year to remind them of all God had done to redeem a people for Himself.

In the New Testament, Jesus said upon instituting the Lord’s Supper, “Do this in remembrance of me.” The body - the bread, the blood - the wine, we take and eat to remember the one who took our place. His body was broken; His blood was spilled, so that we could live in eternal communion with our Creator.

We must know His story. We must make daily Bible reading a priority, not out of ritual, but out of necessity. Oh, the tragedy if we fail at teaching the next generation the greatness of our God through his living and active word.

Cook is a Christian blogger and lives with her husband Zach and their two children in Covington.You can read more about her faith on her blog, "Through the Lens of Faith," at www. emilypeytoncook.typepad.com

Poplar Grove Utility District Cross Connection Public Safety Notice!

Over the next few weeks, the cooler temperatures will bring people outdoors to work in their yards, finish gardening and begin getting swimming pools ready for winter. The Poplar Grove Utility District would like to ensure that our customers are aware of the dangers associated with these activities. A garden hose submersed in any liquid or attached to certain devices used to spray pesticides or herbicides forms a cross connection. A cross connection is a situation where a possible source of contamination is directly linked to our public water system. If the end of your garden hose is connected to a chemical container, swimming pool or other contaminant during a water main break or fire, the substance can be siphoned back into the water system. This condition, known as back siphonage, could cause a public health hazard. Devices are available to prevent this problem; however the best solution is to always be careful how you use your garden hose.

Please help us provide a safe supply of water to all of our customers. Remember; never submerge your garden hose in anything you would not want to drink. For more information on cross connections and how to protect against them call, Terry Dunn at 837-0181,Ext. 236 Monday-Friday from 8:00 A.M.-4:30 P.M.

FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Chargers push past Dyersburg, win District 13-AA opener Feel Pain Free Covington's Andrew Miller brings down a Dyersburg runner during action last Thursday in Dyersburg. The Chargers overcame a slow start to defeat Dyersburg 21-3. Photo by Phil Ramsey - www. covingtonchargerfootball.com

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com

Maybe it was Hurricane Isaac or the short work week, but Thursday night football does not seem to suit the Chargers well.

They slugged their penalty-strewn way to a 20-3 win over District 13AA rivals Dyersburg on the road last Thursday.

The first half was a disaster for both teams with the Chargers losing one of two fumbles while being flagged seven times, killing drives on three possessions. The Trojans were hit with five flags in the half.

After a scoreless first period which saw CHS punt for the first time this season, the Trojans mounted a drive of sorts at the close of the half which resulted in a 33yard field goal off the foot of Evan Walden.

Dyersburg would go to the break up 3-0, but not threaten the goal line again.

Covington (3-0 overall, 1-0 district) found its footing in the third quarter.

One of 10 second-half flags thrown against the Trojans stymied the opening possession of the half.

Carlos Williams returned the punt to the Trojans 38. On the next play he took in a T. A. Watson pass at the Dyersburg 23. CHS was in business but gave the ball up on its second lost fumble on first down.

D RE jans (1-1, 0-1) punted and CHS set up shop at its own 48.

Ten plays later on the running strength of four running backs and a timely Watson to Jalen Henderson pass, CHS finally broke through with a 10-yard Johnston White scamper to a score on third and goal. Bobby Van Cleve continued his perfection with the PAT and the Chargers took a 7-3 lead with 4:54 left in the period.

Covington added two more TDs in the fourth quarter.

A 54-yard drive culminated in White’s second score of the game,

a one-yard run at the 11:24 mark. A bad snap resulted in a botched 2-point attempt and the Chargers led 13-3. Aretavious Brown came up with a Trojan fumble at the Dyersburg 45. Covington moved quickly downfield and added the Chargers final tally of the night on an 11-yard TD strike from Watson to Williams.

“It was a short week for us with only three days to prepare,” said Covington coach Marty Wheeler.

“We made too many mistakes in the first half with penalties and fumbles on offense, but the defense held up and kept it close.

I was happy with our defensive play. We held them to 179 yards, had another interception and recovered a fumble.”

Wheeler singled out the play of Dakota Phillips (sack), Tyrone Tipton (interception), Delvin Russell (sack), Carlos Williams (sack) and Jadarius Temple (overall play) in the defeat of the Trojans.

“We pounded them all night and got the job done after some halftime adjustments,” said Wheeler.

White rushed 26 times for 147 yards and two scores.

Munford lets late lead slip away TRA falls at Fayette Academy

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com On a couple of different occasions Friday night in Savannah, it looked as though Munford was going to leave town with a crucial District 13-AAA win over Hardin County.

The Cougars led 22-7 at the half and 36-20 with four minutes left in the game.

But a big play from Hardin County and a late fumble spelled disaster for the Cougars, who saw the Tigers tie the game late in regulation and ultimately pull out a 42-36 win.

“We were up 16 with five minutes to play,” said Munford coach Matt Saunders, whose Cougars fell to 1-2 with the loss and 0-1 in district

play. “I'm disappointed we couldn't close the game out. It was a huge district game for us, one that we needed to win.”

As the fourth quarter clock ticked under five minutes, Munford senior D'Marious Exum, who had a huge game with 217 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries, ran for a 32-yard score to put his team ahead 36-20.

But Hardin County (2-0, 1-0) returned the ensuing kick off for a touchdown and added a two-point conversion to pull within eight points.

With 1:30 left in the game and Munford trying to run out the clock, the Cougars lost a fumble.

Hardin County capitalized with another score and two-point conversion to send the game

into overtime.

The Tigers scored on a third down play in the extra period and Munford was stopped, giving the Tigers a crucial league win.

Munford gets back to action tomorrow night at home against Millington in the M and M Bowl.

“That was one we needed to win,” Saunders said. “It's up to the players to bounce back and get their minds right for the M and M Bowl.

They've got to learn from their mistakes and make sure to capitalize the next time we are in position to put a team away.”

In other action: Tipton-Rosemark (0-2 overall, 0-1 DII-A-West) traveled to Somerville Friday night and lost to Fayette-Academy (3-0,

1-0), 42-14.

The Rebels trailed 28-0 at the half before getting on the board in the third quarter when Austin Chambers hit Bo Jones on a seven-yard touchdown pass.

In the fourth period, Chambers, who completed 13 of 30 passes for 134 yards, hit Sean O'Brien on a 31-yard scoring pass.

O'Brien caught three passes for 44 yards. Jones hauled in four for 50 yards and Logan Stewart finished with four receptions for 29 yards.

TRA gets back to action Friday night at home against Bishop Byrne.

Volleyball coach: 'The talent is there to win' 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>

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com In his second year at CHS, English instructor Nathan Michels looks to add to his repertoire by taking on the coaching responsibilities of the Lady Charger volleyball program.

“It’s my first year at this,” Michels

said. “We have some talent and expect to be competitive.”

Although the squad lost a number of players from last season, Michels says that the team believes in one another and feels that the talent is there to win.

“Freshmen Treasury Poindexter and Neely Glenn, along with sophomores Ally McDivitt and Lyndsey Ashburn,

will see a lot of time on the court this season,” Michels said. “We will also rely heavily on seniors Ryleigh Deverell and Kaitlyn Ashburn. They are leaders on and off the court and we will lean on them a lot. We will also depend on the size and athleticism of Cheyenne Gibson in the middle. She is a key player.”

Dyersburg, Munford and Brighton

loom large on the schedule for the Lady Chargers. Michels looks for the team to work to improve daily. He and the team also expect to win.

“We want to be competitive and challenge for the district. Our expectation is to be in the thick of it at tournament time,” Michels said.

Golfers looking to make mark this season

By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com

Covington golf coach Brad Warmath, in his second season as CHS golf mentor, feels that his 2012 team has a lot of potential.

“We have four of our top five golfers returning from last season,” Warmath said. “ The district championship is not out of reach this year.”

Last season the Chargers were 10-4 and finished fifth in district play. This year’s team, led by senior Tommy Beasley and junior Brad Walker, look to do a lot more.

The squad has already placed seventh in the Dyersburg Invitational Kick-off Tournament and followed that up with a singles match win over Dyersburg in which Walker fired a one-under 35 to take medalist honors.

Warmath pegged the Dyersburg match and a match with Haywood as key for this year.

The coach looks for Walker to have a breakout season.

“Brad shot a 76, four over par at the district last year on a tough Farms course. I think he is set to beat that this year, and with Beasley, lead us to new levels of play."

Car dealer raising money for Covington football

By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com King Cotton Ford in Covington is once again sponsoring the “Ford Drive 4 UR School” event.

Last year Covington High School earned over $5000, and this year the school expects to generate $8,000 to go toward the Covington Charger football program.

On Saturday, Sept. 22 at 8 a.m. at Heritage Day in Covington (behind First Baptist Church on Main Street), King Cotton Ford will allow people to go on test drives, each fo which earns the Charger football program $20.

No one is asked to purchase a vehicle. Ford believes that if more people are introduced to their product in a professional manner, they will get more people to consider Ford for a future

purchase.

The Covington Gridiron Association will be on hand to assist and register each person for the test drive, as will personnel from King Cotton Ford.

Dick Ritchey, a consultant for King Cotton Ford, said the company assists the athletic budgets at local schools on a regular basis.

“They won't brag about the thousands of dollars they spend on the athletic departments at every high school and middle school throughout the county,” Ritchey said. “They won't tell you about a recent donation of $10,000 so the baseball team would have a scoreboard and the football team could revitalize theirs … King Cotton does these things to get the attention of anyone in the county who may now or at some time be in the market for a vehicle.”
