Open for Business ▪ DSCC oﬃcially opens new multi-use facility By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com The grand opening of the new Dyersburg State Community College Learning Resource Center, Student Center and Tipton County Public Library, was held Tuesday, Sept. 30, in the Baptist Memorial Health Care Academic Building auditorium. The ceremony began with performances by the Brighton High School Marching Band, the

Tennessee Army National Guard Color Guard and the DSCC Jazz Choir Syncopation. Welcoming addresses were issued by Lara Beth Cherry, president of the Student Government Association, and Shannon Leach, vice-president of the Friends of the Library organization. Speakers included Dr. Karen Bowyer, president of DSCC; County Executive Jeff Huffman; John Morgan, Chancellor of the Tennessee Board of Regents; Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh; State Representative Debra Moody; Dr. Mark Bowers, chair of donor recognition for the DSCC

foundation board and Paul Rose, vice chair of the DSCC foundation board of directors. The ceremony celebrated the joint venture of local government, state government and the Tennessee Board of Regents. Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh and County Executive Jeff Huffman both talked about the collaboration it took to make the new Learning Resource Center, Student Center and Tipton County Public Library possible, noting that Tipton County raised $3 million, the state donated $9 million and the city donated additional land to DSCC. From proposal to the grand opening took six years.

Naifeh, the college satellite location's namesake, said the college is the highlight of his career. "This is, easily, the accomplishment I'm most proud of after all of those years," he said. Naifeh, a Covington native who is a second generation LebaneseAmerican, said education was important to his father and that helping to bring a college to Tipton County meant "a great deal" to him. "The event surpassed our expectations. We had so many people from the community and the state of Tennessee who came together to celebrate this historic occasion at DSCC,” said SEE DSCC, PAGE A2

WINE REFERENDUM

Stores lobby for votes on wine bill By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com

Voters in Covington, Munford and Atoka will have a chance to allow the sale of wine in grocery stores on the Nov. 4 general election ballot. Last spring, the Tennessee General Assembly passed legislation allowing referendums in cities that collected signatures from registered voters equal to at least 10 percent of the votes cast in that jurisdiction in the most recent gubernatorial election. Representatives from Munford grocery stores Naifeh's and Fred's went door-to-door in that town over the past few weeks and collected at least 151

validated signatures, which was the required amount. Kroger stores in Atoka and Covington set up displays in the stores soliciting signatures. Covington needed 215 signatures and Atoka needed 251. Both numbers were reached, according to Neil Bell, administrator of elections in Tipton County. While grocery store owners are pushing for the referendum to pass, at least one liquor store owner is against it. Brett Pickard opened Spirits of Atoka in 2006, right after that town passed legislation allowing liquor stores and liquor-by-the-drink. “I'm definitely opposed to it,” said Pickard. “I'm scared of the consequenc-

es because that's all we sell, beverage alcohol. They (grocery stores) sell everything under the sun and there's opportunities for kids to slip in and get it.” The Tennessee General Assembly was able to pass the legislation last spring, in part, because concessions were made by supporters of the measure to allow liquor stores to sell other items like beer, cigarettes and food. Nevertheless, most liquor stores are not equipped to sell large amounts of other items. Pickard said he is selling things like chips, candy, soft drinks, shot glasses and cork screws, but doesn't believe that's going to make up for potential

If passed, grocery stores may begin selling wine as early as 2015.

WE ASKED, YOU ANSWERED LAST WEEK'S TOPIC: CRIME IN COVINGTON During a recent We the People meeting featuring Covington mayoral candidates David Gordon and Justin Hanson, the issues of crime and public safety were discussed. One candidate says the crime rate has gone down. The other says, despite the drop in the rate, some residents say they don't feel safe in Covington. On our website, covingtonleader.com, we asked if you felt safe in Covington. Here are the results of that poll.*

PUBLIC SAFETY

Officers injured during arrest By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Two Mason officers were injured during an arrest Saturday night, police chief James Paris said. While conducting foot patrols in the Front Street area, Sgt. J. Damien and Patrolman J. Lightsey were flagged down by a doorman at Shirley's Bar after patron Michael Campbell was reportedly seen with drugs. Campbell was in the bathroom when the officers arrived and, according to Paris, appeared to have marijuana in

his hands. When the officers attempted to handcuff him, Campbell allegedly attacked them. Damien was struck in the face and legs. Lightsey was hit in the head. Campbell reportedly told police he knew there was an active arrest warrant out for him and he was trying to get away. He was charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and resisting an officer and one count of unlawful possession of marijuana. The SEE MASON, PAGE A3

CLASS AAA GOLF

WINE

Continued from A1

Sophomore Aubree Jones claimed her second Class AAA State Golf Tournament win Wednesday afternoon. File photo

Jones wins second state title By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Brighton High School golfer Aubree Jones turned some heads last year at the Class AAA State Golf Tournament by chipping in on the 18th hole to win a state title as a freshman. At this year's event in Manchester, she showed she's a player to be reckoned with for years to come by claiming the title again. Jones shot a three-under 69 and trailed Rossview's Reagan Greene by a stroke after Tuesday's first round. She pulled ahead by a stroke midway through yesterday's second round and surged ahead by three with a birdie on the 14th. Jones drove to the right side of the fairway on the 14th, hit a gap wedge to the green from there and sank a 10-foot putt to build a three-shot lead she would not lose. “It was tougher this year because the girl I played with, we were

going back and forth all day,” Jones said. “Finally she made bogey and I made birdie. I think that was the swing right there.” Jones finished the twoday tournament at five under with a score of 139 (70-69), three strokes ahead of Greene, who took second. Jones' score was nine strokes better than last year and was one shot off the state record for a 36-hole tournament. She had four birdies in the final round and just two bogeys. Jones had six birdies and three bogeys on Tuesday. Brighton finished third as a team. Lady Cardinal Anna McIntyre shot a 170 (8585) to finish 34th and Tess Hendrickson finished with a 216 (116-100). Moments after securing her second title, Jones said she's already got her eye on the next two years. “What's back-to-back?” Jones said, “without back-to-back-to-back-toback?”

Munford's Sam Lopez competed in the boys' tournament and shot a 144 (70-74) to finish 14th. Brighton's John Francis shot a 158 (75-82) to finish 43rd.

I'm scared of the

losses in wine sales. He also doesn't like the idea of more sales going to businesses that are not based in Tipton County. “The main thing, like Kroger, all their money goes to Cincinnati, Ohio,” Pickard said. “Walmart? That's Bentonville, Ark. I live here and spend my money here.” Pickard said he and other liquor store owners have plans to campaign against the referendum in the coming days. Spririts of Atoka is one of two liquor stores in Atoka and five in the county. There are two in Covington and one in Mason. Judson Naifeh, who owns Naifeh's and Cash Saver in Covington, said he hasn't been pushing for the chance to sell wine in his stores, but feels like he has to because his competitors will, if the referendum passes. “It wouldn't matter to me if we had it, but if my competition is going to have it, I need it to keep up with my competition,” Naifeh said. “I don't need to give my customers any reason to go anywhere else. There won't be a big display in the store and we would

consequences because that's all we sell, beverage alcohol. They (grocery stores) sell everything under the sun … BRETT PICKARD, Owner, Spirits of Atoka

have a limited variety.” So far, there hasn't been active campaigning for or against the referendum. If it does pass, wine would not be in grocery stores until 2016, although some legislators have been talking about pushing that up to next year. According to Teresa Dickerson, who is a public relations manager for Kroger, the community is in favor of wine in grocery stores. “The polls and feedback from consumers has been nothing but positive and receptive,” Dickerson said. “The anticipation is that it will pass.” Early voting will be Oct. 15-30.

$31.5M to help with nutrition

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently announced USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) is making up to $31.5 million in funding available to help participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) more easily afford healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. Secretary Vilsack made the announcement with Virginia First Lady Dorothy McAuliffe in Richmond. “Too many struggling families do not have adequate access to nutritious food,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “Helping families purchase more fresh produce is clearly good for families’ health, helps contribute to lower health costs for the country, and increases local food sales for family farmers. TOM VILSACK Public-private partnerships USDA SECRETARY with non-profit organizations and other community groups are already proving to have great success across the country. These resources will allow partnerships like these to help even more families.” The Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive (FINI) program, a new Farm Bill program, brings together stakeholders from distinct parts of the food system and fosters understanding of how they might improve the nutrition and health status of SNAP households. Under FINI, applicants may propose relatively small pilot projects, multiyear community-based projects, or larger-scale multi-year projects. Funded projects will test community-based strategies that could contribute to our understanding of how best to increase the purchase of fruits and vegetables by SNAP participants through incentives at the point of purchase, supported by effective and efficient benefit redemption technologies, that would inform future efforts.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks to volunteers Thank you so much to everyone who came out for Covington’s Heritage Festival. It was a great day, and we appreciate everyone who attended and all of our volunteers and vendors. We would especially like to thank the Covington Fire Department, Covington Police Department,and the City of Covington Public Works Department for helping with traffic control, safety and helping to set up and clean up so quickly. We would also like to thank our volunteers from our Chamber of Commerce Board, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the National Guard, Mr. Jim Riordan, our parade co-chairs Nan Lindsey and Kyle Witherington and our Downtown Merchants Group, who all contributed to make this such a fun day. Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Commerce Poop in the punchbowl Have you ever gone to a special event, a party, a wedding reception or whatever and discovered puppy poop in the punchbowl? No? Well neither have I. But I can now relate to the feelings conjured up by such a crude experience. Recently, I was asked to help with the Tipton County Tea Party booth at the Munford Celebration. As an avid supporter of the National Tea Party Movement I agreed to do so. I arrived early enough to help hang the expensive 12 foot banners around the tent display. I became uncomfortable with the negative messages on the banners. I looked over some of the informational handouts – some of which were OK - and realized I did not want to be associated with this ill-conceived effort. I folded up my chair and left the scene. The Tea Party Movement is not a third party movement. It is a grass roots conservative effort to maintain a constitutional government within the two-party system. Period!! I am definitely not a supporter of the present administration. However, it is unnecessary and counter-productive to spew bitterness about President Obama and the Democrat Party during such a family oriented venue as the Munford Celebration funfest. There is usually a time and a place for everything. There is never a time or place for puppy poop in the punchbowl!

2004 New school is off and running quite well: What is it like to start a new school in Tipton County? “It is very exciting,” said Patsy Fee, principal at the new Austin Peay Elementary School located on Highway 14. At the start of the year the school already had 667 students enrolled with the capacity of around 800 or 900 students.

1999 School board answers accusations: Director of Schools Dr. Tim Fite has responded to the accusations of former employee Charlie Berry that school bus No. 59 is not safe for the transportation of children. Two inspectors with the State of Tennessee Department of Safety, inspected the bus and they didn’t find anything wrong with it.

2009 Act to fund new fire station: Plans for a new, modern fire station in downtown Munford will soon come to fruition. Fire chief J.R. Bonson announced last week the department had been awarded a $1.8 million Recovery Act firefighters assistance grant, which will fund construction of the new facility.

deep country Southerners. Who could do so much with so little? The farmers with a handful of tools could fix and repair a battalion of tanks. Our mommas could feed an overflowing church revival community gathering with just a teacup of beans, cornbread and sweet tea (with lemon) and probably have a smidgen snack or two left over. In the Good Book it plainly states that Jesus fed a whole raft of five thousand folks from a platter or two of catfish and a few loaves of Colonial bread. Since we know Jesus was a carpenter, this leads me to believe he was also a farmer that was raised in the South to do so much with so little. We had so much to do trying to free up some wagon pistons. In the South if it is stuck use coal oil. If sick or hurts use a cure all. Coal oil! So we started pouring back and forth through the block.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Covington ﬁre chief disappointed in inspection By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Covington Fire Chief Jerry Craig is frustrated. “I’m not very pleased,” he said last week of the city’s results from a recent ISO inspection. “There just doesn’t seem to be a lot of common sense or logic involved in it.” The ISO Public Protection Classification program inspects municipal fire departments and services to evaluate the city’s fire mitigation system for insurance purposes. Better fire protection can potentially mean savings for homeowners, but the ISO inspectors have strict guidelines. During a meeting with

the public safety committee, he told city officials that preliminary results indicated the rating had increased, not decreased as he’d predicted in July. Craig said his fire department lost points when it came to one of its trucks. “We were hit hard for not running the ladder truck on every call,” he said. “We run it only when we need it because of the wear and tear on it.” The ladder truck is a 1986 model. He doesn’t agree with changing the department’s procedures, but said doing so will keep the city at its current ISO rating, which is a 4. “We went to a 5 from a 4 in

the city and from a 9 to a 10 in the county,” he said. “A 10 means no fire protection. ISO really killed us.” Ninety-nine percent of the county has fire protection, according to him. Additionally, Craig told officials automatic aid procedures and sprinklers affected the score. There are already automatic and mutual aid agreements, where neighboring fire departments assist one another when needed, but Craig said he prefers to use his off-duty and reserve firefighters for quicker response simply because they’re closer. “It’d take my guys six or seven minutes to respond,

but they don’t want that, they want us to tone out other departments for every structure fire call we have.” Craig said the department may be dispatched to hundreds of structure fires each year, but the calls can vary from a house being on fire to something small on fire inside the house. “If we tone everybody out for 300 structure fires, the odds are they’ll be disregarded for 299 of them before they would even leave their city. It’s going to get old being called out that many times a year.” Craig said his department “met way above” the standards and the training and he

was disappointed. “This is the first time I knew ISO standards were stricter than insurance standards. I could have had us at a 1,” he said. “The only thing I know to do is to throw logic and common sense out the window and do what they say to do.” Elsewhere in the county: • Brighton’s rating stayed at a 5/5x • Gilt Edge VFD’s rating decreased to 5 from 7 • Munford/Atoka decreased to a 4/4x from 5 • Quito/Drummonds VFD went from a 9 to a 6 Other departments could not be reached.

KNOW THESE MEN? They are wanted in connection with a Sept. 28 burglary at Bucksnort Grocery. The suspects entered the store and took lottery tickets, beer, cigarettes and cash. The suspects fled on foot. During the burglary, one of the suspects cut himself and will have an injury to his arm. The second suspect has been identified as Lamarcus T Carpenter, 30 of Carr Street in Covington. Carpenter has not been located but has active warrants related to the case. “We need the Tipton County citizens’ help in identifying one suspect and locating Lamarcus T. Carpenter,” said Sheriff Pancho Chumley. Anyone with information in this case, is asked call the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at 901-475-3300, Central Dispatch after hours at 901-475-4300, phone in tips at 901-475-3307, email tips to sheriff@tiptonco.com or Facebook Sheriff J.T. Pancho Chumley.

Saturation nets nine arrests By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Over the Labor Day holiday weekend, the Covington Police Department conducted a saturation effort that netted nine arrests and a dozen citations. These operations are usually done in conjunction with the Governor’s Highway Safety Office with the intent of reducing crime. “During this saturation, there were a total of eight officers assigned to high crime areas of Covington,” said police chief Buddy Lewis. During efforts of this nature, police officers are usually found in stationary places, such as four-way stops, to observe traffic and identify problems. That weekend, there was a total of 48 traffic stops and motorists were

arrested or cited for the following: • DUIs • Drugs • Fugitive apprehension • Revoked/suspended license • Reckless driving • Public intoxication • Implied consent violation • Speeding • Violation of insurance requirements • Violation of registration • Seatbelt violations “We’ll continue to take action on issues that can cause safety concerns for the public,” said Lewis. “These efforts, along with the stationary observation program established several months ago, places more officers, including administrative officers, in our neighborhoods.”

Verdict of $27,010,000.14

A 27 million dollar verdict was recently awarded against big tobacco. The federal jury in in Florida found against Philip Morris USA Inc. in a big way. Like many of her 1950’s generation, the plaintiﬀ reportedly started smoking when she was just 14 years old. The $27 million verdict included a punitive damages award of 20,760,000 dollars and 14 cents. The 14 cents was symbolic of her age of beginning to smoke. It was shown during litigation that 90% of daily cigarette smokers start smoking as teenagers. The plaintiﬀ showed that big tobacco actually targeted teens, despite their denial of doing so. However, a Philip Morris internal memo stated, “Today’s teenager is tomorrow’s regular cus-

David Peel Peel Law Firm

tomer.” The plaintiﬀ testified that she chose cigarettes that were marketed as “safer” by the defendant. These included Philip Morris’ products like “filter” cigarettes and “light” cigarettes. Evidence that Philip Morris oﬃcials knew that “light” cigarettes were no safer was presented. She developed COPD and will probably not live very long to enjoy

the result. This is just more proof of the fact that big tobacco has known for years that their product, when used as directed, will likely shorten your life. Then, to top it oﬀ, they blame you for using them! If you want to stop smoking, this is as good a day as any. It is hard. But asphalting your lungs is clearly unhealthy, and a lot more expensive than you might realize. At $1500 a year, it costs a lot to smoke. But consider the increases in life insurance, health insurance, health care, dental care, medications, and lost time from work, as well as shortened overall lifetimes to work. When you wind up on disability, which you almost certainly will, you will draw less money as a result of paying in

less for shortened time. Non-smokers are less likely to need disability in the fist place. Smokers take longer to heal from a fracture. Other costs are also issues, like value drops in houses and cars that are smoked in. Trust me, non-smokers know it. I am not beating up on you, dear smoker. I am asking you to consider the costs and maybe, this can be the time that you do what the vast majority of smokers have already done: quit.

COMMENTARY

Jesus loves Tipton County

By ZACH COOK Special to The Leader

I am excited to share with you a unique opportunity that you, as a citizen of Tipton County, have to make an eternal impact on our community. We, as followers and disciples of Jesus Christ, have been called to obey the great commandment to love God and others by showing them the love of Christ; and we don’t have to go to another country on the other side of the world to do so. We can be the hands and feet of Christ right here in our own community by sharing God’s love with our brothers and sisters who are in need. This opportunity exists in the form of an evangelistic outreach ministry called Jesus Loves Tipton County that is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Oct. 25. The purpose of Jesus Loves is to share the Gospel and lift high the name of Jesus in Tipton County. It consists of the membership of local evangelical churches and individuals who have a desire to unite together to serve the community through various outreach projects with a focus on service evangelism. It is not meant to promote a particular church or denomination, but only exists to show God’s love to others in practical and tangible ways, while sharing the message of salvation through faith in Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross for all people. It is based on a verse of scripture from the book of Jeremiah, “Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray on its behalf, for in its welfare you will have welfare.” (33:7) Anyone with a desire to share the Gospel through service to others is welcome to participate with us in this

ministry. God has uniquely gifted every believer with special talents and abilities in order to advance His kingdom on earth and bring Him glory. We must be willing to get outside of our comfort zones and be on mission for Him where he has placed us. There will be many opportunities to serve through the three projects that have been identified for the first Jesus Loves Tipton County outreach. A short overview of each is outlined here: Frazier Park Community We will minster to the residents of the Frazier Park Community by performing a variety of services to residents. Opportunities to serve include lawn maintenance for disabled and elderly citizens in this area with prayer and gospel sharing with those we serve. We will also perform general street cleanup of the neighborhoods that comprise this part of Covington. In addition, there will be a clothing drive for adults and children, as well as a children’s worship service and Bible reading at the Boys and Girls Club. All of these activities will afford volunteers the opportunity to engage citizens

with the Gospel and prayer. Upwards of 150+ volunteers are required for this project. Nursing Homes Projects We will minister to nursing home residents and their families at the Covington Care and Covington Manor nursing homes. The plan is to fellowship, visit and pray with residents and their families, as well as lead a worship service with residents at each of the homes. Anyone with a desire to love on and minister to elderly residents, fellowship and pray with residents and families, and encourage and strengthen the nursing home workers and administration is invited and encouraged to participate. Children are welcome to participate. Twenty to forty volunteers will serve in this project. Tipton County Jail Project This project will involve the baptisms of inmates who have recently accepted Christ as well as ministering to the inmates through preaching/teaching of God's word in a discipleship atmosphere. The Gospel will be shared and those wishing to make a public

profession of faith will be given the opportunity to do so. Training will be provided prior to the event and details will be provided to participants. This project will be closed to general volunteers who have not been pre-approved by the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office prior to the event. All of these projects will begin at 8:30 a.m. and continue until approximately noon. All volunteers must attend a mandatory pre-project information briefing on Thursday, Oct. 23 at 6 p.m. (Once you sign up, please contact me for details on the location of this meeting). Also, we will we have a volunteer fellowship and prayer rally on the day of the outreach (Oct. 25) at the Covington High School gymnasium from noon until approximately 2 p.m. Those wishing to learn more information about Jesus Loves Tipton County and the projects planned for Oct. 25 can visit the website, www.JesusLovesMemphis.org, and click on each of the Jesus Loves Tipton County projects to register your participation. A FaceBook page has also been created with project information and updates and can be found by searching for the group “Jesus Loves Tipton County.” In addition, you can contact me at ezcook@bellsouth. net, or 901-848-2672, with questions concerning this ministry. It is the prayer and desire of all involved that Oct. 25 will be the beginning of a larger unity movement in our community in the name of Jesus Christ! I want to encourage you to pray about your participation in this ministry and join us as we seek the welfare of the city and community to which we live and have been called.

Church bulletins October 5 St. Matthew's Episcopal Church will celebrate the feast day of St. Francis of Asissi with a pet blessing in the courtyard behind the church building at 4 p.m. Bring your pets of all kinds! The church is located at 303 S. Munford Street in Covington, across from City Hall.

Church surprises CIAA with outpour of support By FRANCE GASQUET fgasquet@covingtonleader.com It began with a phone call that Covington Integrated Arts Academy principal Sara Gangaware received from Willie Mae Willett. At first, Gangaware thought Willett was trying to sell her something, as sometimes people call with sales pitches for products. It soon became clear, though, that Willett was calling on behalf of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. Willett, a retired principal from the Shelby County school system, is the district lay ministry leader for the CME West Tennessee region. Based on the recommendation of retired Tipton County school administrator Phyllis Barlow of Covington, CIAA was chosen to receive supplies from the CME West Tennessee region, which is comprised of 32 churches, for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission project. The CME lay ministry decided to focus on the third grade because, according to Willett, unless students have good footing at the end of third grade, they will have trouble throughout school. The supplies included notebooks, pencils, binders, paper and pens. This is the third year of the lay ministry; the first and second years, the ministry donated turkeys to the Mid-South Food

Bank during the holidays. Willett said she realized how many churches and organizations donate turkeys during the holidays and decided that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission should be about building a relationship. Willet said she came up with the idea while doodling during the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Unity Summit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are 32 churches in the district, which spans five counties,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The district lay council chose this school. Our church saying is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Making an investment in people.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Our plan is to make inroads and make a difference in the lives of these children.â&#x20AC;&#x153; Gangaware is thrilled with the interest by the church. Besides the supplies, which she said were a wonderful gift, this mission project is in line with one of the goals of The Leader in Me, a motivational tool the school is using to teach students that each person can be a leader. With a 91 percent poverty rate, the highest in the county, giving these students hope and encouragement can be priceless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a wonderful opportunity to show students that moving from good to great is a community concern and that people are willing to invest their time and money to help them do this,â&#x20AC;? said Gangaware. Gangaware said the teachers and students were quite impressed with the inter-

Above, third graders thank CME Church members for their donation and support. est and concern this group has for future generations and pleased they selected CIAA for their message of encouragement to move from good to great, as well as the supplies they donated. Willett was impressed, too.

"We hope to continue a relationship with CIAA so that we can help support these children and see that all of them successfully complete third grade,â&#x20AC;? said Willett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those children at CIAA were all so wonderful, it was exciting to be amongst them.â&#x20AC;?

CORRESPONDENCE

Tipton County and the Civil War By RUSSELL BAILEY Tipton County Historian

Battle of Graysville, Ga. November 26, 1863 Continued from last week The 9 p.m. attack of Col. William Stoughtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Union brigade drove a wedge of troops into the retreating column of States Rights Gistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division. In capturing the road bridge a mile south of Graysville on the Ringgold Highway, Stoughton blocked the line of retreat for George Maneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tennesseans, Bledsoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battery and the remainder of Gistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brigade, on the north side. Fortunately, the Confederates of the Kentucky orphan brigade and O. F. Strahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tennesseans (Tiptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men in Co. I, 4th Tennessee included), had already crossed over. Hearing the musketry, these brigades formed line of battle. The Yankees contented themselves with their captured cannon and prisoners and did not advance. The Kentuckians and Tennesseans then marched on to Ringgold arriving before midnight. William P. Carlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Union brigade was to the left of Stoughtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Carlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troops advanced, straddling the road leading northeast to Graysville. Carlin reported: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I advanced the 42d Indiana to the road and

Almyra Libby Click Hi everyone. The leaves in Almyra have begun a frequent falling sequence. Our neighbors, the McDaniels, have been so kind; they are keeping the tree lines cut well. Now that Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home place and property, where he grew up, have been sold to them, we are so blessed. Laura, Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, and her family sold everything and left town. I hope they can find happiness somewhere. Almyra is growing so fast. There are no new homes close by, but the heavy traffic implies they

are not too far away. October, as a rule, brings on cooler temperatures. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ahead on that one, as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already changed out my clothes and the closet for the winter. Staying ahead of things seems to lower oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stress level, at least for me. Mr. Murphy across the street, owner of Country Creations, located at the corner of Beaver Creek Road and Dunlap Orphanage Road, has such a variety of pumpkins for sale. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very interesting to even view them. I never knew there were so many variations and colors. He even has little mini pumpkins that

beyond, when I changed front to the left toward Graysvill, and moved it toward that place until a column of the enemy (Gistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brigade) was met. Lt. Col. McIntire commanding, demanded the surrender of the enemy, which was declined. A few shots passed between them. â&#x20AC;Ś(I) ordered it to maintain its position until the remainder of the brigade could close upâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Carlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Federals had possession of the GraysvilleRinggold Road when Gistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rebel brigade stumbled into their path. Maneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tennesseans were to the rear of Gistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men. It was reported that Gistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24th South Carolina crossed the Chickamauga and then burned the road bridge. If this is true, that possibly explains why the 9th Tennessee and other elements of Maneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Gistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brigades had to cross the Chickamauga on the railroad bridge just south of Graysville. By this time, the Federals had secured the three road bridges spanning Chickamauga Creek. East and parallel of the Graysville and Ringgold Road lay the tracks of the Western and Atlantic Railroad. The railroad crosses Chickamauga Creek in two places, a mile and a half apart. Within this mile and a half, the creek flows East and West before making a sharp bend to the Southeast; after a mile and a half, the creek makes a sharp bend due West, the creek forming a pocket or horseshoe, with the two ends or branches running Westward and crossing the railroad with bridges. John Green Hall, (post-war Covington mayor and

State Representative) a soldier in the 9th Tennessee, wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never will those who participated in that stubborn retreat forget how, on the nightâ&#x20AC;Ś at Cat Creek, we held the victorious legions of Sherman in check; after nightfall, our retreat was intercepted by Hookerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corps, which occupied the road in our front, while Shermanâ&#x20AC;Śpressed hard upon us from the rear.â&#x20AC;? (Note: The Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top generals, U. S. Grant and W. T. Sherman were within a few hundred yards of Tiptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men at Cat Creek.) J. Stokes Vinson, of Maneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50th Tennessee, wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late in the evening, when we were nearing a bridge on the Chickamauga River, the Yankees began to crowd us, so we formed a streak of fight and pushed them back, then rushed across the bridge. Just ahead of us was another bridge. The enemy had set a trap for us in the bend of the river, intending to get both bridges on us. They captured one of our batteries on the bridge just ahead of us. They had us hemmed; but our officers went to the left and found a ford, where we waded across, hip-deep. It was a cold frosty nightâ&#x20AC;Śwe looked like a drove of cattle in the water and we had to stand there until we nearly froze while scouts felt around to see if the enemy was over thereâ&#x20AC;Śwe slipped out of their trap.â&#x20AC;?

www.covingtonleader.com CORRESPONDENCE

Mt. Carmel-Clopton Elaine Watkins It’s a very warm Monday afternoon, still in the high 80s until the end of the week, when rain will move in and cool us down to the 70s again. I love the 70s! This week’s farm report: We started shelling corn last Monday and it’s going well. Beans are turning yellow and the cotton I’ve seen is better than I thought. We went to the doctor this morning in Memphis and saw some defoliated fields (which I think are Richard Kelly’s) and they are beautiful; wish the prices were better! Thanks to everyone who missed the column last week - last Sunday I took Lyla to see “The Wizard of Oz” at The Ruffin Theater. I loved, loved the Scarecrow! Everyone was good though, and Lyla went through two boxes of popcorn and half a Dr. Pepper! Then, Monday morning, we went for parts in Brownsville, so I just didn’t get a column written! Speaking of granddaughter Lyla - I’ve been keeping a secret until the right moment - Clint and Courtney are expecting in April so I will be a great-grandmother with Rachel and Cameron’s son in December and a grandmother in April. Yay! I just had the best birthday weekend! The Church of Christ ladies’ retreat was this last weekend in Centerville at Camp Meribah, a beautiful lodge in the woods with a walk-around porch and rocking chairs. The inside walls are all wood and there are two fireplaces, and this year, they had new TV’s, which we didn’t turn on! Thanks to Debbie Otts, who organized the retreat and to Delores Whaley for driving us up there in the bus. Thanks also to Jennifer Phillips (and helpers) for feeding us bacon, ham, eggs and biscuits for breakfast Saturday morning; fresh chicken salad on croissants with broccoli and potato salad for lunch, along with pretzel salad; and taco and chicken tortilla soups that

Jamestown DarSay Burton Greetings. I’m starting out with this very sad report. Last week, a severe case of domestic violence hit very close to our family. As you may know, Dwight Alston shot and killed his wife, Johnnie P. Alston, in their Drummonds home last Saturday morning. Both he and the victim were related to us, he on Daddy’s side and she on our mother’s (the Sherrill and Burton families). There were a series of events held in Johnnie’s memory, beginning on Wednesday evening with a lovely candlelight vigil held at her church, St. Mark’s M. B. on Wilkinsonville Road, where she sang in the adult choir, A wake was also held at the church Friday evening. Final services for Johnnie were Saturday at First Baptist M.B. Church of Millington,

night, with a surprise; a personalized birthday cake, a singing of “Happy Birthday” and a card signed by everyone! Cinnamon rolls closed out the kitchen Sunday morning. We had a wonderful speaker, lots of entertaining activities led by Jill Matlock and we played games until late each night. We went to church and, on the way home, we stopped for lunch and shopped. Someone squealed during lunch, so the waiters and waitresses sang to me and gave me a piece of cake, which I shared. There’s a party tonight with my children and then my birthday will be over, but it’s been a fun one! On our prayer list are Charles Yoakum, Charlie Hardin, Landon and Martha Yarbrough, Leonard Moss, Otis Griffin and so many more friends and relatives of our members, all those taking treatments and all servicemen and women. We will have Family Day on Sunday, Oct. 5. Please invite anyone to join us to hear Phil Sanders from “In Search of the Lord’s Way” at 10 a.m., with Sunday school before, at 9 a.m. There will be a potluck luncheon and then a 1:30 pm. worship service with the Freed Hardeman Chorale performing. There won’t be an evening service. The annual clothing giveaway is Saturday, Oct. 18, from 9 a.m.- noon. Happy birthday to Russell Coats on Sept. 17, Michelle Laxton, Lisa Pinner and Brandon Matlock on the 22nd, Luke McMahan on the 23rd, Kathy McMahan on the 24th, Neil Stanley on the 25th, Gloria Wilkinson on the 27th, me on the 28th, Savannah Gatlin on the 29th, Russ Cates and Steven Hopper on the 30th, Becky Todd on Oct. 3 and Ryan Hodge and Russ Hodge on the 4th! Happy anniversary to Jimmy and Shirley Weir on Sept. 29 and Dale and Shirley Laxton on Oct. 2! My sincere sympathy goes to former Clopton resident Mary Nell McLennan Welsh in the death of her

with Rev. W. Gatlin and Rev. Keith McGee. Rev. McGee was her pastor and Rev. Gatlin was her former pastor at St. Paul M.B., in Drummonds. Our heartfelt prayers will remain with these two families, especially with the Verges families. Thanks to Jefferson’s Mortuary, also of Millington, for a very lovely service as well as to First Baptist’s pastor and church family for their services to the family. On Tuesday, at 2 p.m., in the lovely home of Celia Burton Lake of Covington, the Jolly Corteria Club met for the September meeting. A lovely repast was served. Ticket sales are now out for the grocery give away during Thanksgiving week. Tickets are $1. You may contact either president Gloria Sherrill or any J. C. Club member.

I like making buttons and doing woodworking and making get well cards. I enjoy going to church and spending time with my family. I also like working on my model cards and trucks and writing my articles. Until next time, Floyd Columbus

Abigail Bell named National Merit Semifinalist Abigail Bell, senior, at Munford High School, has been named National Merit Semifinalist in the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Program. The nationwide pool of 16,000 semifinalists represents less than one percent of all U.S. high school seniors, and includes the highest-scoring entrants on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). While the PSAT serves as an initial screener of scholarship applicants, a semifinalist must also have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed

and recommended by a high school official, write an essay and earn SAT scores that confirm the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier performance on the qualifying test. According to the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, Bell was chosen based on her qualifying test scores, her academic record throughout high school, her participation in school and community activities, her demonstrated leadership abilities and honors and awards received. Bell will now move to the next level of consideration, the finalist level,

for Merit Scholar distinction. She, along with the other semifinalists, will be evaluated based on their skills, accomplishments and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference, for the next level of recognition. Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiences include participation in Vanderbiltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer academy, Volunteer Girls State, Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School for Emerging Technologies, and the TOTAL Youth Leadership Program. She is also an active member and leader in several

career-technical organizations, including Health Occupations Students of America and Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America. Bell is also involved with a wide range of service projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am extremely honored and grateful for this amazing recognition," said Bell. "I am also excited to see what doors may be opened because of it.â&#x20AC;? Bell is currently undecided on which college to attend. Finalists for the National Merit Scholarships will be named in February.

FFA holds Lamb Camp, Camp Kid By ERIN DETTER Munford FFA Reporter The Munford FFA livestock exhibitors held two different summer camps for elementary schoolaged children. The sheep exhibitors ran Little Lamb Camp for two weeks: May 27-30 and June 2-5. The goat exhibitors also ran Camp Kid for two weeks: June 2-5 and and June 16-19. Both of these camps are designed for campers to learn how to care for the animals and how to exhibit them for a show that is put on at the end of the week. Each morning the campers are in charge

of feeding, watering and giving hay to the animals. Campers learned about the parts of the sheep and goats. They also learned how to mix feed and what the different kind of feed does for the animals. The campers were educated in how to wash the animals and how to properly fit the animals. At the show at the end of the week, campers take turns exhibiting their lambs and goats, which makes an excellent photo opportunity for moms, dads and grandparents to take pictures. The campers are also chosen for awards from their camp

EDUCATION

New officers take over for Munford High School FFA By ERIN DETTER Munford FFA Reporter The Munford FFA Chapter held its annual chapter banquet on May 15. This banquet acknowledged the dedication and accomplishments of the chapter members. The banquet started with the opening ceremonies recited by the 2013-2014 chapter officer team. Next,

the members who participated in Career Development Event competitions throughout the year were awarded for their achievements. The leadership awards were given to the members that attended FFA Leadership Camp the previous summer. The members that attended forestry camp were also acknowledged. The next group of members to be

recognized were the sheep exhibitors, swine exhibitors, and goat exhibitors for their dedication and hard work throughout this year’s show season. There were 32 Proficiency Award area winners also recognized at the banquet. State degrees were awarded at this year’s state convention to 11 members of our chapter and those members were recognized

again at the banquet. Along with the state degree, four past members of our chapter were recognized for receiving their America Degree. There were four Honorary FFA Degree recipients this year: Amy Blackard, Teri Manning, Mark Manning and Donna Cherry. Each year, as we watch our seniors graduate, we know that we are about to lose some very important people in our chapter. This year our chapter President McKenzie Manning, Vice-President of Student Development Cory Wright, Vice President of Chapter Development Payton Hendershott, Vice President of Community Development Kelsey Lumpkin, Secretary of Correspondence Alyssa Tapley, Treasurer Alex Cherry, Reporter Tara Finley and Barn Manager Kearsten Humphrey graduated. We thank them for their years of service to the Munford FFA Chapter and hope they continue to live up to the FFA Motto of living to serve. The Munford FFA Chapter is one of the largest chapters in the state of Tennessee. With such a large membership, there is a greater need for leadership opportunities in which members can take

COMMUNITY

BMH-Tipton raises breast cancer awareness with free luncheon COVINGTON –Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton will host a free luncheon aimed at raising community awareness of the importance of breast health, including screening methods. The luncheon will take place at noon on Friday, Oct. 24, at Baptist Tipton, 1995 Highway 51 South, in the community conference room. When breast cancer is found early and confined to the breast, the five-year survival rate is 99 percent, according to the American Cancer Society. “It’s so important for women to take time out for them-

selves, especially when it comes to their health,” said Cyndi Roberts, event organizer and a member of the Baptist Tipton administration team. “Women so rarely put their own health first.” According to the American Cancer Society, a woman’s chance of having invasive breast cancer is 1 in 8, while the chance of dying from breast cancer is 1 in 36 cases. In order to educate area women about their options for preventive care and screening, Baptist Tipton will provide attendees with important information about keeping breast cancer at bay, according to Roberts.

EDUCATION

New machinery gives students cutting edge Covington's Tennessee College of Applied Technology recently added an advanced machine tool to their array of training offerings. The tool uses computer numeric controls to automate a number of common manufacturing processes, like cutting, milling and punching on various materials. Purchase of the new machines was funded by the Tennessee Board of Regents and HTL Advantage, a threecounty economic coalition in Haywood, Lauderdale and Tipton Counties. “As a member of HTL

Advantage, I am pleased at our contribution to the purchase of this machinery, which will help train students for great careers in advanced manufacturing and provide infrastructure for an advanced workforce in the future,” said City of Covington Mayor David Gordon. Initially, the machinery will be used by 15-20 students in the machine tool technology and industrial maintenance training programs. This new tool will give students the opportunity to expand their knowledge of

different types of computer numeric controls. Learning to set-up and operate machinery with this control will open up new employment opportunities for students in the area. Training gained in these programs can prepare students for careers in industries like automotive machining, medical device manufacturing and more. For more information, contact the Tennessee College of Applied Technology – Covington at 901.475.2526 or visit www. tcatcovington.edu.

The Brighton Lady Cardinals soccer team had something to prove Monday night, and they didn't waste any time making their point. Brighton got three goals in the first 10 minutes and held on for a 4-2 win over Munford at Sid Witherington Stadium to wrap up its second straight District 13AAA regular season title. It was the first loss of the season for Munford (10-1-2 overall, 2-1-1 district). Brighton improved to 8-2-1 overall and 3-0-1 in the district. The two teams tied 2-2 on Aug. 26 in Brighton, a game the Lady Cardinals felt like they should have won. “We came out and played our game instead of waiting until the second half,” Brighton senior Kasie Jacome said. “We realized we didn't play our game the first time,” said BHS senior Brandi Holland. “We knew if we just played our SEE SOCCER, PAGE A22

COVINGTON 34 DYER COUNTY 0

Chargers dominate in win over Choctaws By STEVE HOLT sports@covingtonleader.com Alumni returning for homecoming like a win and a 34-0 shutout of Dyer County last Friday sent a big Covington crowd home happy. Despite 15 penalties for 130 yards (13 for 115 in the first half), the Chargers turned in a dominating performance over a Choctaw team that managed only 114 yards of total offense (87 passing, 28 rushing). The Covington (2-4) defense did not allow the Choctaws (2-4) to penetrate past the Charger 16-yard line and permitted them only 12 plays in CHS territory. Turnovers played a big role as well. Hunter Taylor, T.J. Miller and Andrew Owen hauled in interceptions for Covingon and Miller added a fumble recovery to thwart Dyer County. “Defensively, we improved in the secondary,” said Covington head coach Marty Wheeler. “Isiah Dowell had his best game of the season and the safeties were more

of a factor. Once again we created opportunities on offense. More often than not, this week, we took advantage of them, especially in the second half when we weren’t shooting ourselves in the foot with penalties." A 12-play opening possession, during which Covington overcame two false start penalties and a fumbled snap, produced a 51-yard TD on a pass from Malcolm Taylor to Mate’o Jackson. Jackson's spin move after the catch broke him loose for the score. At the 11:18 mark of the second quarter, T.J. Smith (15 rushes, 154 yards) scored the first of his three TDs from two yards out for a 12-0 Covington lead. After a scoreless third period, Smith outran the Choctaws at 10:56 in the fourth for a 71-yard TD. Taylor’s two-point conversion pass to Ish Jones pushed the lead to 20-0. Miller’s fumble recovery at the Choctaw 10 set up Smith’s last score 1:50 later. Andrew Owen added the PAT for a 27-0 advantage. SEE CHARGERS, PAGE A22

MUNFORD 19 RIPLEY 13

Big night from Simon powers Munford past Ripley By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com At the beginning of the season, firstyear Munford head coach J.R. Kirby had a talk with senior fullback David Simon, who had seen limited offensive action during his Cougar career. Kirby's plan was to feature the burly fullback in an offense that would focus on running between the tackles. That plan was on full display Friday

night in Ripley as Simon rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries as the Cougars beat the Tigers 19-13 to move to 5-1 on the season. “We want to get Simon the ball,” said Kirby. “We're a fullback-centered offense. Sometimes it's not the prettiest thing in the world to see, but it gets the job done. Simon was the workhorse for us.” While Simon put up some impressive numbers, a block he made late in the

fourth quarter might have been the biggest play of the game. Clinging to 19-13 lead with under three minutes to go, Munford faced a fourth and three at the Ripley 45. Eschewing a punt, Kirby decided to go for it. Behind a lead block from Simon, Clayton Richardson picked up the three yards to put the game away. “It was a hard-fought win on the road, no doubt,” Kirby said. Simon finished off an 11-play, 65-yard

drive on Munford's first possession of the second half with a two-yard TD run to put the Cougars ahead 13-7. Late in the third quarter, Ripley (2-4) found the end zone on a tipped pass to tie the game at 13. Munford answered with another long drive. This one took up the last two minutes of the third quarter and half of the fourth and ended when Jacob Ross hit Richardson on a 14-yard TD pass. SEE MUNFORD, PAGE A22

Brighton comeback falls just short By JEFF IRELAND jireland@covingtonleader.com Brighton finally found its offense in the second half Friday night at home against Columbia Central. The running and passing games began clicking, but the first-half hole was too deep to come out of and Columbia held on for a 21-14 win. With 5:05 left in the game, Brighton (2-3) drove from its own 12 deep into Columbia territory. T.J. Klutts hit Terry Wayne White on a 15-yard pass to convert a fourth and five and put the Cardinals on the Columbia 22. But Zack Camp, who helped the Cardinals get back in the game with 125 receiving yards, 88 rushing yards and two scores, fumbled on the next play to end the scoring threat with 43 seconds left. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second half has been good for us all year,â&#x20AC;? said Brighton head coach Robin Jacobs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but the slow starts are killing us. Every game we seem to come out of the gate slow.â&#x20AC;? Mario Williams was the story for Columbia (4-2). He scored all three of the Lions' touchdowns and finished with 164 yards on the ground. His 67-yard TD run as the first-quarter clock expired gave Columbia a 7-0 lead. After a Brighton punt, Columbia marched 82 yards on 15 plays and went up 14-0 on a one-yard run by Williams. Each team missed a field goal in the second quarter.

With 7:02 left in the third quarter, Williams scored from seven yards out to push the lead to 21-0. That's when Brighton's offense got going. Camp scored on a 14-yard run to cap off a 54-yard drive to cut the lead to 14. On Columbia's ensuing possession, Zack McKell blocked a punt. But the ball bounced to a Columbia player who ran it for a first down. Brighton forced Columbia to punt four plays later though, and that led to a 16-yard TD run by Camp with 10:45 left in the game. Klutts, who was starting his second game of the season, enjoyed a big night for the Cardinals, completing 29 of 42 passes for 342 yards. White caught seven passes for 89 yards. In another area game, Lausanne had a little too much firepower for Tipton-Rosemark Friday night. The visiting Lynx scored 34 points in the second quarter and cruised to a 55-25 non-league win over the Rebels. Rosemark (4-2) got a 34-yard field goal from Ethan Carpenter and trailed just 7-3 after one period. Spencer Mackey threw a 78-yard touchdown pass to Adam Boyce and a 22-yarder to James Babb in the second quarter to help Lausanne (3-2) take control. Mackey was 7 for 7 passing for 144 yards before coming out of the game in the second half. TRA quarterback A.J. Hightower broke a 66-yard TD run in the second quarter. Rosemark trailed 41-10 at the half. Logan Stewart saw time at quarterback in the sec-

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is they fought for every single ball and we didn't. We need to get our heads straight and figure it out now.â&#x20AC;? Munford did manage to make things interesting. Lady Cougar junior Erika Lambert scored her 19th goal of the season, a school record, just before halftime to trim the lead to 3-1. In the 50th minute, Munford sophomore Kasey Moore scored on a penalty kick to pull her team within one goal. Morgan Self nearly scored for Munford in

the 65th minute. With seven minutes left, Brighton's Savannah Dickerson scored from point-blank range on a nice cross from Hendrickson to put the game away. Munford will finish second in the district standings. If they can get by third-place Dyer County next week, the teams will meet for a third time in the district tournament title game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really young at the beginning of the year,â&#x20AC;? VanKampen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our young players have really stepped up and I appreciate that.â&#x20AC;?

some players step up, making us not so tired in the fourth period.â&#x20AC;? Covington outgained Dyer County rushing with 259 yards on 36 carries to 28 on 22 carries. The Chargers return to District 15-AA play tomorrow night at Liberty Tech in Jackson. The Crusaders are 4-2,

having played a tough schedule with losses to Brentwood Academy and MUS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are big, fast, athletic and talented,â&#x20AC;? Wheeler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably the best team we will play. They have everyone back from last season. They are experienced and battle-tested.â&#x20AC;?

that the dominant team in a rivalry can change from year to year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things have changed from last year,â&#x20AC;? Jacobs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're going to have
