Local artists design cards for LeBonheur

COLD PLAY Old Man Winter stopped by for an early visit on Monday, Nov. 29, bringing with him a mix of rain and snow. A total of 2-4 inches of snow fell over the county from Monday afternoon to Tuesday morning, prompting school offi cials to delay the start of school on Tuesday by two hours. Despite the cooler temps to start the week, highs will be in the mid- to upper 50s through the weekend.

Every year there are thou-sands of cards to choose from to announce holiday greet-ings and good tidings. This year, Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center is hoping you will choose one designed by a Tipton County child.

Thirteen-year-old Alex Ma-

son, 12-year-olds Mary Tanner Simmons and Neely Glenn and 10-year-old Bailey Coo-per, all who are art students of Covington resident Bar-bara McBride, have had their artwork chosen to represent Le Bonheur during this season of faith.

The 2011 Le Bonheur Holiday Card Collection is inspired by the hope and heal-

ing received by children at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. Each year, 12 to 13 submit-ted drawings are selected for use as greeting cards for the world-renown children’s hospital.

A seventh-grade student at Crestview Middle School, Alex’s artwork, Coving-ton Greetings, is a brightly colored depiction of a winter

scene in Covington. He do-nated his gift of art to Le Bon-heur in honor of his friend, 5-year-old Lucy Krull, who was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, Medulloblastoma, in February 2011 and who is a Le Bonheur patient.

Mary Tanner, Neely and Bailey all had their artwork chosen last year and were

selected again to represent Le Bonheur in 2011. Mary Tan-ner has taken art classes for two years. She is well known for her portraits of dogs and has even been commissioned to paint pet portraits. Neely enjoys basketball and vol-leyball and is on a traveling softball team. Neely is a gifted artist and has had her art

Restaurant surrenders beer licenseBy ECHO [email protected]

A popular Munford restaurant has surrendered its beer license and will soon close its doors, said Doc Hol-lidays Steak and Spirits owner Dottie Justice.

Though she faced losing her on-premises consumption permit at a meeting of the city’s beer board meet-ing Monday night, on her Facebook profile Justice said she gave up the right to sell beer in her restaurant because she “was tired of fighting a town that obviously does not want me to have a business.”

“I went to the mayor and told him to take it that I didn’t want it any-more. They did not take it from me,” she posted.

Mayor Dwayne Cole said Justice willingly surrendered her license before the meeting Monday, but the board also suspended it “indefinite-ly.”

“We felt like we needed to take ac-tion to render this null and void,” he said Wednesday. “The original issue was when she violated the terms and conditions of her on-premises con-sumption license.”

During a Colt Ford concert, which took place near the restaurant’s Quin-ton Drive location, on Oct. 7, Doc Holliday’s is accused of selling beer and liquor that was being consumed off of the restaurant’s property.

Justice did not want to comment on the incident.

Beer licenses are enforced by municipalities; liquor licenses are enforced by the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

Bond Tubbs, a TABC agent in charge, said agents were at the concert and administrative charges are currently pending with the state. Tubbs said she likely faces a fine for violation.

Justice said she has also contacted TABC about surrendering her liquor license as Doc Holliday’s, which opened Jan. 7, will soon close its doors. She said she’d like to spend more time with her family.

“I just wanted everyone to know that this was on our terms not anyone else’s.”

HOOPIN’ FOR A CURE

Tipton County Heroes - One county for one cureBy SHERRI [email protected]

The second annual Hoop-in’ for a Cure, sponsored by Tipton County Heroes, will take place on Saturday, Dec. 10 beginning at 9 a.m. at Brighton High School gym-nasium. The charity fund-raising event will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in its fight against childhood cancer.

“Last year was our first year and we raised $3,000 playing one game,” said Jimmy Sears, a local Tipton County business owner and coach of Brighton sports. “This year we’re holding nine games and our goal is to raise $30,000 for St. Jude… I think we can do it!”

Hoopin’ for a Cure is a full day of youth and high school alumni basketball charity games. Nine games are on the schedule, includ-ing four alumni games between former county high school rivals.

Basketball players of Covington High, Brighton High and Munford High, who graduated at least nine years ago, are encouraged to join in the fun and excite-ment. There will be two women’s and two men’s alumni games.

“If they played ball, we would love to have them,” said Sears, who along with Connie Newman, is orga-nizing the event. “This is re-ally going to be a fun day.”

The Brighton Community

youth basketball league, ages 13 to 18, will also par-ticipate in the event.

Door prizes donated by local businesses will be given away during each game’s intermission, includ-ing a 5-day all expense paid trip to El Dorado, Mexico and a flat screen television. Winners do not have to be present to win. In addition to door prizes, a special highlight of the games will give spectators the chance to win one of two 2012 new

cars, either a Ford Focus or a Dodge Caliber, donated by King Cotton Auto Plex. At half-time and at the end of the 6 p.m. game, an entry ticket will be drawn, giving its holder the opportunity to win a brand new car by making a series of four baskets – layup, free throw, 3-point and half court – within 24 seconds. A total of two cars will be given away, one at halftime and one at the end of the event, if the

The Covington Diamond Club will host its annu-al Holiday Tour of Homes on Sunday, Dec. 11 from 2 to 5 p.m.

Tickets for this year’s event will be $10 and may be purchased from any Covington High School baseball team player or at Wrather Dental Center.

The annual holiday event is a fundraiser for the Covington Charger baseball program.

Mr. and Mrs. Connie Evans 307 Fairway Drive

The Evans home is located in Fairway Estates and was built in 2007 by Southern Custom Homebuild-ers. As the former model home for Fairway Estates, many people have toured the home, but it will ap-pear very different today to visitors on the Holiday Tour as the Evans family estate.

The Evans love inviting friends over to watch movies and sporting events in the theater room. The enormous kitchen is a cook’s dream space with custom cabinetry and marble countertops and the master suite engulfs the homeowners in the lap of luxury.

Although, the Evans fell in love with their home for the design and custom features, they feel what truly makes it a home is their family’s collection of antiques, which have been handed down through the generations and collected from their travels abroad.

Dr. and Mrs. John English70 Harvest Cove

Originally built in 2004 by David and Sonya Sage, the English’s home is located in Turning Leaf Estates and was purchased by the family in Aug. 2005.

The addition of a large family room, expansion of the outdoors patio, as well as installing an inground pool and landscaping was completed shortly after they moved in. The installation of hardwood floor-

ing in several bedrooms and downstairs hallway completed the renovations.

The English home is just over 4,000 square feet and contains four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a formal living and dining room, family room, kitchen, playroom and utility room. It is located just outside the city limits and sits on three acres inside a cove so traffic and noise is minimal.

The English family enjoys spending time with family and friends in the outdoors patio and pool area, which also includes an outdoors fireplace for cooler weather.

Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Howard3521 Charleston Gift Rd.

The Howard’s home is a two-story house built in 2005. The house was designed by Amy Howard and Mr. M. B. Howard, grandfather of Ryan, drew the plans. Ryan and his father, Mike Howard, did the majority of the interior labor.

The house is on the site of the former home place of Robert and Hazel Deverell and is located on a 10-acre rural country setting. Deer, foxes, squirrels and opossum are often seen in the yard.

The Howard children, Kalynn and Koen, have plenty of room to play and ride their four-wheeler.

The home contains a large family room with fireplace, formal living and dining rooms, brick accented kitchen with island, breakfast room and a sunroom, which leads out to the patio. Three bedrooms are located on the first floor and young Koen’s bedroom is especially interesting with a tree and bobcat lying on a branch. His bed is made from

a boat that belonged to his great-grandfather and was constructed by his grandfather, Dale Deverell. The master bathroom has a unique copper bathtub and the home’s interior is furnished with numerous pieces of custom made furniture, bathroom vani-ties, kitchen cabinets and countertops, and a metal stair rail.

Amy’s artwork and creativity can be found throughout the house. She enjoys mixing elegant design with rustic details. The home’s second floor is a large room, which the children use as a sports room. It contains a concession stand, which will be open for visitors during the holiday tour.

The Howards enjoy entertaining friends and fam-ily at their beautiful home located in the Charleston community.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lazure, III1028 Hall Rd.

The Lazure’s stately two-story home was built in 2008 by APEX HOMES in a modern Colonial style. It is expressive of classical Greek and Roman archi-tecture and features clean, symmetrical lines and grand Doric columns.

The home contains an open floor plan featuring a magnificent foyer with a dramatic iron-railed banister lining the staircase. The downstairs hosts a cozy family room with gas fireplace, formal din-ing room, nursery, guest office, laundry room and one and a half baths. The upstairs contains a child’s bedroom, playroom, a guest bedroom, two full baths and a masculine media room any man would be proud to own.

The home’s focal points include lighted, tray ceil-ings in the master bedroom and custom cherry cabi-nets in the kitchen, which create a warm atmosphere that is perfect for family living. Whether enjoying the sunrise on the inviting back porch swing or the sunset while standing on the second floor balcony, the porches on this home are a welcoming addition for any homeowner.

Just 10 more days until Covington’s first Dickens’ Christmas and the excite-ment is building on the his-toric square.

The two-day event will take place on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 11 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. The festive affair will be mod-eled after the Christmas classic, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The

Victorian holiday tale has been a favorite for more than 150 years and tells of Ebenezer Scrooge and his redemption and restoration of faith in his fellowman.

Visitors to Covington’s historic square will find themselves transported to Victorian England and quite possible experience a chance meeting with Scrooge or even the Ghost of Christmas Past. Christ-mas carolers, musicians and street performers will entertain shoppers as they

stroll about the square. Fa-ther Christmas will also be at the Farmer’s Market just off the square for pictures beginning at 4 p.m. and vis-itors of all ages will enjoy the telling of Dickens’ time-less classic and Victorian children’s puppet theater.

Businesses and mer-chants located on the square will be decorated in seasonal vintage décor and restaurants will offer tra-ditional Victorian holiday meals.

“We are hoping this be-

comes a Covington tra-dition,” said Covington-Tipton County Chamber of Commerce Director Lee Johnston. “We have a won-derful community, great businesses and friendly merchants. We want people to come to Covington and experience what we have to offer.”

The public is invited to joy in the fun and come to

the square dressed in mid-19th century English Victo-rian outfits. Alethea Sayers-Harris, a local seamstress, has been designing authen-tic Victorian costumes for participants to wear. Harris has a booth in Upscale Re-sale where she offers pe-riod clothing.

Volunteers are also need-ed sing vintage Christmas carols as members of stroll-

ing choirs. People inter-ested in volunteering are asked to contact Mary Bea-sley at 476-5502.

Also occurring on Sat-urday, the lighting of the county’s Christmas tree will be held 5 p.m. on the courthouse lawn.

For more information contact Lee Johnston at the Chamber office at 476-9727.

Dickens Christmas just around the corner

I am amazed at the mania many folks have today over tattoos. This form of expression, once confined to sailors, bik-ers and prison thugs, has become a national obses-sion. Like the diamond-studded earrings made poplar by athletes, it was young sports f i g u r e s that started sporting arm band antlers or forearm flames that seems to have sparked this national o b s e s s i o n with “body art.”

In the inter-est of full disclosure, my body is not tattoo-free. As a young sailor getting ready to go home on leave for my wife’s birthday in 1984, some friends of mine convinced me that a tattoo with her name on it would be a great gift. I had a tattoo inked on my upper arm with my wife’s name. Three days later when I was home it was a puss-ooz-ing mess. I’ll never forget her words: “I would have rather had shoes.”

A lot of thought needs to be put into what seems fashionable today, but stays for the world to see forever. Extreme tattoo-ing of the body can be a real career stopper, espe-cially if you are trying to get into a customer-ser-vice field. There are folks who will automatically dismiss you for employ-ment if you interview sporting tattoos all over the body.

What is cool today can often become a hideous joke a year or so later. And remember young-sters, as your skin ages,

your tattoos really start to look awful. Guys, a skull and crossbones with “*@#! You” on the forearm when your 19 just ensures many doors of opportunity will be closed to you later in life when you have more sense and less testoster-

one.Ladies, you

I am afraid are most at jeop-ardy. Having your children’s, boyfriend’s or even a Bible verse tattooed on your neck may be sweet to you, but it’s just plain odd to most of us.

When someone is speak-ing to you, they want to see your eyes, not be distracted trying to read your neck. Instead of spending the money on tattoos, how about tak-ing your children to the zoo for a lasting memory that won’t require a tur-tle neck when you finally want to apply for that great paying job?

I’m not saying that all tattoos are bad, but I am saying that much more thought needs to be put into the long-term conse-quences before you allow ink under your skin. How many of you sported a colored Mohawk hairdo in the 1980s. What if you couldn’t undo that? Don’t allow today’s fad or form of “self-expression” to become something you regret years later.

By today’s standards, my tattoo is very modest and can be easily hidden with a short-sleeve shirt, but even that had conse-quences for me later in life. In 1987 I completed

If you work for an employer who offers a benefits package that includes life insurance and disability income insurance, consider yourself fortunate. But you can’t necessarily consider yourself fully protected. And if you don’t have appropriate life and dis-ability insurance, your long-term financial goals could be at risk.

Life Insurance: How Much Is Enough?The amount of life insurance you’ll require will change throughout your life. When you’re starting out in your career, and you’re single and living in an apartment, you probably need a lot less insurance than you might a few years later, when you have a spouse, chil-dren and a mortgage.

Because your life insurance needs will evolve over time, you can’t really use a “formula” to determine how

much insurance you should own. The only way to determine your true needs is to take stock of your individual situ-ation. How big is your mortgage? How much will it cost to send your kids to college? How much income is your spouse likely to bring in over time?

By answering these and other key questions, you should be able to get a good sense of how much life insur-ance you’d need at any point in time. From there, it’s just a matter of seeing how much insurance your employer is offering and then purchas-ing enough coverage on your own to make up the shortfall, if one exists. And you’ll find other benefits to owning your

own policy: It may be more cost effec-tive, and you’ll keep the coverage even if you change jobs.

If you purchase a term life policy, you’ll find it quite affordable to receive a substantial amount of coverage.

Eventually, to help yourself meet goals beyond just protection, you might want to consider some type of per-manent insurance, such as whole life or universal life, which contains an investment component in addition to the death benefit.

Disability Insurance: Go LongAn illness or accident will keep one in five workers out of work for a least a year during their working careers, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And Social Security Disability Insur-ance (SSDI) might not help, because, in any given year, most claims are denied. In fact, in 2007 only about 38 percent of the 2.2 million people who applied for SSDI benefits actually received them, according to the Social Security Administration.

So, while you are healthy and work-ing, ask some questions about your employer’s disability insurance plan. What does it cover and for how long? Many employers provide short-term

disability plans because they are rela-tively inexpensive, but as we’ve seen, many disabilities last a year or longer. Find out if your employer offers any long-term disability coverage, which can provide benefits until you reach age 65. If so, think about purchasing as much as you can.

If you can’t get enough coverage at work, consider a policy from an outside provider. Basically, you need enough of a monthly disability insur-ance benefit to replace your net take-home pay, so that your current lifestyle does not change. Disability insurance policies vary widely in coverage and premium, so shop around before pur-chasing one.

Take full advantage of your employ-er’s life and disability insurance plans. But if this coverage isn’t enough, get what you need on your own. You’ll be making a smart investment.

This article was written by Edward Jones on behalf of your Edward Jones financial advisor.

For my country folks that depend-ed on livestock and the good earth to provide a living and nourishment, chores came before the families. After milking, there was plenty of work to complete the project. As you know it was just a way of life. Who can really say what was right, wrong, good or bad. That’s all we knew! Making the tour from the stall to the house was always inter-esting as cats, dogs, hogs, dinosaurs and ‘crock-a-ga-tors’ could smell the white foam all the way to Little Texas.

Opening and closing barn doors, fighting off the vigilantes and trying your best not to slosh the fluid on the trek to the house. If successful, attack the sagging, back screen door, the ‘wompy-jawed’ back door steps that always seemed to topple as you shifted your weight tugging on the entrance.

By the time I made it to the back porch table and finally situated the silver bucket, I was as tired as if I had been hoeing wheat all day. I’m not finished, only beginning. Why? We have to run the fresh, warm milk through a strainer. Why? To extract all the trash, bugs, dirt, hay, and pos-sibly some hair from the cow’s tail out of the milk. Very simple! For all the city slickers, the strainer was a con-tainer similar to a bucket with wire, possibly the same dimensions as the window screen from the bedroom.

Some of the community milkers owning maybe four or five cows, usually the barrel shaped strainer would hold five to eight gallons of bone building. Our strainer was lo-cated on the back porch, next to the table. Momma kept a clean, ‘worn

out dishrag’ hung on a sixteen penny nail, hammered in the wall, that was used to cover the strainer and pro-tect the milk. So thin, you could read the Memphis Press Scimitar without turning a page.

Neighbor, you know cats are sneaky and sly. The cats would smell the tasty, foamy, warm, body builder

and invade the premises. Many times, several at-tempted to jump into the small barrel.

Our strainer was light green, with four red wood-en legs, slightly slanted so the container hopefully wouldn’t turn over. Every few inches on the outside of the metal container were indentions to gauge the amount such as two or three gallons, or more.

Additionally there was a small, peep window about half way up the con-tainer. I was fascinated as Momma transferred the milk creating substan-tial foam. The cats would purr, drool and dream!

A small cutoff valve at the bottom of the funnel shaped strainer allowed us to empty the container with a cer-tain amount after cleansing. To purify inside the metal strainer, simply wipe several times with (hopefully) a clean dishrag

Many times I had to stand on a five-gallon slop bucket wiping and preparing for about two gallons. Once as I was pouring, amnesia set in and I forgot to check the valve. With no container situated under the strainer, milk flowed freely, covering the back porch. Momma let out a war whoop that would have made Geron-imo very proud. Momentarily, I was afraid I was going to get a haircut like Custer. Neighbor, a few knots on yo’

noggin, resembling acorns, will get yo’ attention. It got mine!

A few times, problems arose as the upright strainer was unavailable re-quiring Momma to assist Daddy to strain the milk through some Gold Medal flour sacks or possibly Mar-tha White’s material. See, rednecks are smart, but don’t let it out. Not just yet! It wasn’t that we weren’t a caring, sharing family, but we were afraid the bugs would drink too much of our future Clabber milk.

Beloved, this was a country way to make sure our milk was fit to con-sume. We had never heard of pasteur-izing, homogenizing, two-percenting, or fat freeing. Skim milk had not ar-rived. The only skim we understood was skimming the water in the bucket with a dipper to extract the unwanted bugs, flies and mosquitoes. The gauge for butter content was determined by the breed of bovine. A Holstein gave a smart amount, but low in butter fat. However, Jersey cows gave a smaller amount of liquid, but high in butter-fat content. Let them Harvard profes-sionals that don’t know how to milk a cow, ‘figger’ it out. While they are determining this calculation, see if anyone knows the butter prolifera-tion of a Jersey heifer? I don’t know this mind you, but they will tell you sumpin’!

Come suppertime, this delicacy topped the meal. When is the last time you milked a cow? Strained yo’ milk? Cooled milk in an ice box? When is the last time you had a Ma-son jar of good unadulterated, foamy, homegrown milk with crumbled cornbread?

This ‘STRAINS’ my mind what I can’t enjoy anymore----------------GLORY!!!!

a Bachelor degree so ap-plied for a direct commis-sion to the Navy. Things were going great as the Navy was growing, my officer candidate package was excellent and I had references from Navy Commanders, Congress-men and others of influ-ence.

Though initially excit-ed about my prospects, the officer recruiter han-dling my application quit calling or returning calls. I finally went to see him and he told me that right before he submitted my package to the selection board, he noticed that it was annotated on my physical documents that I had a tattoo. He said that “officers and gentle-men” don’t have tattoos. It was an unwritten rule at the time, but a career-stopper just the same. I did not get the commis-sion I had worked so hard to obtain.

Life is not always fair, and that’s why it’s even more important that you don’t do anything that could come back to haunt you years later. If you feel the need for a tattoo, get a Cracker Jack box and go to town, with the knowledge that you can wash it away when it’s no longer cool.

Hello everybody! Well... how do we like this snow? I love it myself! After spending 20 years in Wy-oming, it’s kind of nice to have it every once in a while, but that’s as far as I want to go with snow. It allowed the kids to get to sleep in Tuesday morning, and the fact that it really didn’t accumulate on the roads and sidewalks… I can handle that! I thought sure I was gonna’ have to get the new maintenance man good‘in “broke in shoveling snow!" Ha! Ha! I would like to officially welcome our new mainte-nance man, Jeff Yarbro, to our Dunlap family! Wel-come Jeff! We’re so glad you’re here!

Please continue to keep our dear Ms. Tricky Hoff-man in your prayers! She is now at Covington Man-or Rehab due to surgery on a broken bone. We love you Ms. Tricky! There’s a chance Ms. Tricky will not get to come back at all, so please stop and see her and let her know you care. Also Ms. Frances Hunter

is in Covington Care and will not be returning, please stop by and give these ladies a hug, and let them know you care.

We’re excited to be hav-ing a big group of Girl Scouts come and do an overnight lock in, in our fellowship hall tomorrow night and then Saturday morning they will be dec-orating our fellowship hall and putting up our tree. Welcome, Girl Scouts!

We really have BIG NEWS on our campus! We now have a new “goat house” thanks to Mr. Fred-die Huggins’ daughter and her sweet husband that had to endure getting sawdust in his eyes. It was bad. We sure hope and pray it’s all better. Now this may not be a big deal to all of you, but it is to us here at Dunlap. Matter-a-fact, it's answered prayer. They now have a good warm place to get in out of the weather. They had one, but it got worn out. We have several real animal lovers out here and they

all love to feed them. This coming Sunday we

will be having our annual Christmas Party for the residents in the fellowship hall at 2 p.m., so please re-member, if you’re a family member or even a really good friend of one of our residents, please come and have cake and punch with us to celebrate this blessed season, Christ’s birthday!

We have several birth-days this month, Mr. Charles Turnage on the 8th, Mr. Freddie Huggins on the 21st, Ms. Hazel Greganti on the 27th, and Ms. Margret Smith on the 30th, we also have one staff birthday on the 3rd, Char-lene Thompson. Happy birthday to all of you dear, dear folks, we love you all so very much.

Until next week, please give a lot of hugs. And remember Dunlap if you know of anyone that needs a place to live that no lon-ger needs to live alone. We have room for you and we’d love to have you. Just give me a call at 476-7014!

Compiled by Russell Bailey, Tipton County Historian

Tipton soldiers in the “Southern Guards Artillery” witnessed “a ter-rible accident” at Columbus, Ken-tucky on Nov. 11. A soldier recalled “the bursting of the large gun (can-non) called the ‘Lady Polk’: “This was a 128 pound rifle gun, one of the best in the Confederacy. The day of the Battle of Belmont the gun had been used with considerable effect upon the enemy on the opposite side and in the evening the gun was left loaded, having been loaded while it was very hot. Today, Gen. (Leonidas) Polk wishing to further try the range of the gun ordered one of the gunners to raise it to its greatest elevation and fire it. The gunner who was an old artillerist remonstrated as did Gen. J. P. Mc-Cown… but Gen. Polk again ordered the cannoneer to fire the piece and on his refusal another gunner was ordered to fire it, when it bursted killed 14 men and slightly wounding a great number. The man who fired it was nearly blown to atoms. Gen. Polk himself was wounded…”

During November Tipton, fur-nished an additional two and one half companies for Confederate infantry service. Captain Bartlett M. Browder’s “Sons of Liberty”

company was enrolled at Clopton near present-day Brighton on the 4th. The company mustered 110 volunteers. During the war more recruits were added and at least 32 of the men died in service.

Captain Edward Osborne Shel-ton’s Company of 97 volunteers was enrolled on the 16th at Mt. Zion (Munford). Fifteen of the sol-diers were known to have died in the War, including Capt. Shelton

Captain Orrin D. Weaver of the Quito-Drummonds area was in-strumental in raising a company in northern Shelby and southern Tip-ton. The volunteers met at Shelby Station (Brunswick, Shelby County) on the 26th and formed their unit. At least 50 of the volunteers were Tiptonians. Captain Weaver, age 69, died during the War. Three of his grandsons served in the com-pany, Ben, John and Joseph Mason. These three units became Com-panies G., A., and C., respectively, of the 51st Tennessee Regiment. A fourth company designated “K” was organized in early 1862 and added to the regiment. A lady from Idaville (near Atoka) wrote about Browder’s company:

“Jim Moore & Johnson McCain called and took dinner with us last week… Jimmy Dickson came Saturday

night… It will perhaps be his last visit as they wish to get off soon. They have to uniform themselves, when they can, and get guns in the county and they are scarce. They have so many hindrances that they progress very slowly. Their uniform is brown jean trimmed with black. They have named their company the ‘Sons of Liberty.’”

John A. McGuire of the “Tipton Rifles,” Co. I, 4th Tennessee Infan-try died in a hospital at Columbus, Kentucky on Nov. 18. He was 18 years old.

Captain Montgomery Lynch, the engineer officer at Fort Pillow, wrote to General L. Polk on Nov. 26: “Tomorrow we will be left with only 42 hands (Negroes.) I am told more Negroes could be had if transportation were furnished. The Mars is at New Madrid… Col. Williamson being ab-sent… I understand that Captain Win-ter is about to convert the Sappers and Miners into an artillery company and will enlist the Irish force now at work here. If so, I will have neither mechanics or laborers… the main body of the work is done… now if you will be pleased to authorize me to employ laborers and mechanics and you appoint a superin-tendent to work under my direction, I will feel once more it is possible to get through.”

Red and Connie Wright took Waylon Cooper to the Harvest Supper Tuesday night, Nov. 15 at Drummonds Elementary School.

Felicia Lott of Nash-ville spent several days with her sister Becky Whitehead and husband, David and family during the Thanksgiving holi-day. Felicia and Becky grew up in Gilt Edge.

Mark and Leslie Mer-edith of Brentwood had their baby Ella Carol, who was born on June 24, dedicated Sunday Nov. 13 at Brendhaven Pres-byterian Church. Ella has a sister Zoe, 2-years-old. The grandparents are El-bert and Judy Starnes of Burlison and Tom and Susan Meredith of Miss,. were present.

Greetings, over the weekend I visited my God-mother, Ellouise Vaughn of Covington who’s now a resident of a fine nursing home in Memphis. She’s adjusting nicely to her new surroundings and has the support of loving family and friends.

Thanksgiving day was very quite here, no compa-ny, just family and friends calling to say hello. With football games and the Lifetime Channel’s Christ-mas specials, I was very relaxed. Didn’t do Black Friday; never have, never will! My oldest son Kelly, who lives in Fontana, Ca-lif., told me they were out from around 6 a.m. until after midnight but that his wife, Danielle was elated to have gotten lots of really good deals.

Willie Mae and Isiah Burton Sr. enjoyed Alma Dye and Earline Potts from Cleveland, Ohio, Cherry Summer and Deb-ra Martin from Nashville, Cherry’s son, Chris, of Chattanooga, brought his wife, Rosanna and Marcus Summer of Ky. visited his grandparents and fam-ily for the day. Willie Mae said her sons and their families also dropped in on them, Tyrone and Col-lie Burton, Edwin and his family and Darrell and his family also.

Katerene Harber spent a quiet day at her home this year.

LaRue Albritton traveled to Johnson City to be with her daughter Glodean and husband, Ralph Davis. Also, her daughter, Debra Elkins from Nashville, was also on hand with her fam-ily. Florene Trent relaxed at home in Jamestown.

Mary Burton also relaxed at home with delicious foods coming to her from

cousin, Barbara Miller and Mary’s oldest son, Ronnie brought some lovely good-ies for his mother to enjoy.

The missionary meeting has been canceled for the past two weeks due to bad weather; hopefully, Pres. Mary Burton can resume soon.

Brighton Hill M.B. Church adult choir trav-eled on Sunday afternoon to Oakland where they were guests of Cleaves Me-morial Methodist Church for their annual choir day program.

On Saturday, Dec. 10 the Duration Club and Pres. Willie Mae Burton will be dining in Covington at the Bald Butcher where they will be exchanging Christmas gifts. Their final yearly meeting was Satur-day, Nov. 19 at the home of Shirley Hodge Taylor of Millington.

Also on Dec. 10, the Jolly Corteria Club’s year end meeting will be at Katerene Harbers home in Jamestown, where they will also exchange gifts and enjoy a holiday meal prepared by their hostess.

This is it for this week. Remember: It’s almost time for gift giving. Be

aware that it’s not the size of the gift that you receive; the thing to remember is “the size of the heart” from which the gift was given.

Sorry about last week’s column. I got up early Tues-day morning and started baking and later that day it hit me - I forgot the column! Senior moment I guess ‘cause that’s never hap-pened before!

I got a train car cake pan for my birthday from the Weir/Dickey household and baked it for Brian’s birthday on the 20th. It was so cute -bought a bag of rootbeer barrel candy and put it on some cars, used cinnamon discs for wheels and piped black icing on some cars for coal. Chris-tina Evins had come home with us that Sunday and we fed her pizza then she went and had the train cake with us.

We had the best fried turkey on Thanksgiving, thanks to Justin. James and I, along with Clint and Courtney Gurley, had the entire traditional feast at the Harrell household and everyone enjoyed playing with Lyla. You can say just about anything and she will repeat it after you. She is sharp!

Yesterday I finally got to see “Breaking Dawn” with Cammy Evans. I feel like I’m the last woman on earth to see it, having missed the big first weekend. It was as good as expected. Gotta wait till next November

for the ending. Love those books/movies!

We have to be at Baptist East in the morning for James’ sinus surgery. We knew his nasal passage was crooked and he had a lot of infection but not till we saw the catscan did we know his nose was broken. Could have happened when he played football, when he was in National Guard. Don’t know, but he’s get-ting it all fixed up. Hope he feels better soon.

On our prayer list are Shirley Cook, Jeff Hanks and Todd Townsend, all recovering from surger-ies, and Grant Edmonds who is still taking rehab and Jimbo Edmonds, who started his treatments to-day. Craig Randolph is also taking treatments. Also in my prayers are Sally De-verell, John Evans’ mother, Mike Rogers’ mother and so many others, includ-ing all our servicemen and women.

Sympathy is extended to the Sullivan family in the death of Mrs. C. H. Sullivan. They have my prayers.

The Annual Freed-Har-deman Benefit Dinner will be Dec. 2 with speaker Bob Newhart. Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus will be at Jason and Rachel Coats’ home on Dec. 3 and our Annual La-dies Christmas Swap will be at Laura Craft’s home on Dec. 4.

Two new babies at church: Congratulations to Alex and

Allison Cates on the birth of Emmy Elizabeth on Nov. 6, weighing 8 pounds, 2 ounc-es. Grandparents are Albert and Deborah Coats Cates, Andrew Cates is the proud uncle and Russell Coats, the proud great-granddaddy!

Hi everyone! Let it snow, let it snow! Well, I suppose this is the way to start win-ter; I’m quite ready for any large accumulation yet. The freezing weather does not help the “old achy bones.”

Well, of course I did not have anything to do with Black Friday. I’m still get-ting over having 27 people for Thanksgiving. I hope yours was a great one. However, I was praying my nephew who has been in Iraq could have made it but he’s not stateside yet. He did spend Thanksgiv-ing in Spain and is pres-ently headed for the Unit-ed States. Let’s continuing praying for our country and all these wonderful military personnel!

Happy birthdays this week to Jim Edmonds, Charlene Dal-rymple, Braxton Brown, Bailey Daniels, Doris Yoa-kum, John Evans IV, Josh-ua Evins and Lorie Liles.

In closing, speaking of Black Friday, my crazy twin daughters Terri Bar-ber of Centerville and Sherri Ann Kidd did their “twin thing” and left on Thanksgiving and made it back around 6 a.m. on Friday morning. They had a whole night of sharing stories and shopping.

Please remember my friend Anna Kiss as she was hospitalized last week. There are so many ill at the present time. Before I forget, I need to thank my grandson, Dalton Barber, for going up into the attic and bringing down all the Christmas stuff and our tree. I think we will find a place for it downstairs fol-lowing the holidays. Have a great week!

Despite the rain, community leaders, state offi-cials, members of the Tennessee Board of Regents along with members of the Dyersburg State Com-munity College administration, student body, faculty and staff gathered on Wednesday, November 16 at the DSCC Jimmy Naifeh Center at Tipton County to celebrate the ground breaking for the new Learning Resource Center/Student Center and Tipton County Public Library.

Before the actual ground breaking, State Represen-tative and Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh, Tennes-see Board of Regents Chancellor John Morgan, State Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, State Represen-tative Minority Leader Craig Fitzhugh, State Senator Roy Herron, Tipton County Executive Jeff Huffman, Covington Mayor David Gordon, DSCC President Karen Bowyer, and DSCC Foundation Board Im-mediate Past Chair David Hayes each spoke on the history and the importance of the project to the more than 200 gathered in the auditorium in the Academic Building.

“Several of us have dreamed of a new facility which includes the DSCC Learning Resource Center and the Tipton County Public Library at the DSCC Jimmy Naifeh Center at Tipton County. The ground break-ing ceremony signals the beginning of this new struc-ture which is scheduled for completion by fall of 2013. It will provide much needed space for our students. This new space includes computer classrooms and labs; an enhanced student tutoring lab; study rooms; an activities space with table tennis, pool and Wii ex-ercise programs. It will also house Student Govern-ment offices,” said DSCC President Karen Bowyer.

After their remarks, 26 representatives from the state legislature, the Tennessee Board of Regents, local government, the community, the college, the library board met outside to lift the first shovels of wet dirt.

Special participants in the ground breaking were Ryan, Micah, Parker, Isaac and Ethan Brown. Alto-gether these children have checked out 8,670 books from the Tipton County Public Library.

The project is a special collaboration between Tip-

ton County government and DSCC. By sharing library and learning resource center facilities, the college and the community will underscore the importance of lifelong learning. As a part of the planning, represen-tatives from Dyersburg State did extensive research by contacting 12 join-use libraries across the country to learn how this type of facility has been successfully executed in design, operations and programming.

Actual construction work is scheduled to begin in the spring, and the building is expected to be complet-ed in the fall of 2013. Jim Boggan of the firm McGe-

hee, Nicholson, Burke, PA is the project architect. Funding for the project was provided by the spe-

cial capital outlay for community college approved by the Tennessee General Assembly in its 2010 ses-sion. The funding was made available to address the enrollment growth at DSCC. The Tennessee Board of Regents approved the project in December of 2010.

For more information about the ground break-ing ceremony, please contact Beverlee Weatherly at 731/286-3300 or [email protected].

FLAT CITY USA


Thanks to the kindness of a family in Indiana and an alert Tipton County mother, Brighton Elemen-tary recently received a medical equipment donation that makes them a safer school for children with life-threatening heart conditions.

The Schweinberg family of Indiana holds a memo-rial golf tournament every year in August in memory of their beloved son, Jason, who was born with a con-genital heart defect (CHD) and passed away at age 17 on Aug. 9, 2001 during a heart transplant surgery.

Since that time, Jason’s family has committed them-selves to helping families whose children are born with CHDs. The annual golf tournament raises money to provide automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) to schools and childcare facilities.

AEDs can be used during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) to bring the heart back into rhythm. If a per-son’s heart beat is not returned to normal quickly by being “defibrillated” their chances of survival can drop seven to 10 percent for every minute during the time their heart is not beating normally. If the SCA is not treated within minutes, the person can die. Hav-ing an AED close at hand can make it possible for anyone trained in their use to treat a cardiac arrest victim and increase their chances of survival.

Lisa Schaffer, a Brighton mother of six, found out about the Schweinberg family and its commitment to helping children with CHDs. Schaffer’s oldest and youngest sons were born with several CHDs. Her old-est son, Clint, passed away in 1992 at nine weeks due to complications from the heart condition; her young-

est son, five-year-old Eli, will be starting kindergarten next year at Brighton Elementary.

Schaffer requested that Brighton area schools be considered as candidates to receive an AED from the proceeds of this year’s memorial golf tournament. Since the tournament began in 2004, the Schweinbergs have placed 11 AEDs in schools across the country.

“They are very expensive machines but all schools should have them,” said Schaffer. “They are an im-portant safety net for children with heart defects.”

Schaffer was notified by Cathy Schweinberg after the tournament that Brighton Elementary was se-lected to receive the important medical device and quickly told BES principal Michael Hughes the good news.

“It’s wonderful to be given this life-saving device and we thank Mrs. Schaffer for helping to make this possible,” said Hughes. “It provides a sense of secu-rity knowing that we will be able to help a child who may go into cardiac arrest until first responders ar-rive.”

School nurse Cindy Hopkins agrees the AED is a valuable piece of equipment to have in the school.

“Someone who is in cardiac arrest has a better chance of survival if an AED is available,” said Hop-kins, who is trained in its use.

Schaffer is pleased that Brighton Elementary was selected and says its gives her with a sense of peace to know that it will be available in case Eli or any other child ever has need of it.

“It’s comforting to know that it will be here when Eli starts school next year,” she said. “This is my baby,” she added, smiling.

Young Eli Schaffer poses with the automatic external defi brilla-tors (AED) which was donated to Brighton Elementary by the Schweinberg family in remembrance of their late son, Jason. Five-year-old Eli suffers from congenital heart defects (CHD) and depends on the availability of an AED to help keep his heart in rhythm. Standing behind Eli is BES principal Michael Hughes, Lisa Schaffer and school nurse Cindy Hopkins.

I can remember watching my mother bake a cream pie. People are so amazed when I say we had a freshly baked pie almost every night for dinner. No wonder I was always “pleasingly plump” as my daddy used to say! Anyway, back to the pies. Mother would make the same cream pie recipe, but change it by adding cocoa, or lemon, or banana, or caramelized sugar. The technique was always the same—the little bit of varied ingredients made completely new creations.

I have learned to used techniques, but change up the ingredients—therefore it is hard to give anyone my recipe—it varies all the time. I will give you an example. Everyone knows how to make Ham Rolls; they are easy to make and are always good.

The basic recipe—1 cup butter, melted; 3 T pre-pared mustard; 3 T poppy seeds one small onion, grated; 1 lb. deli ham, shredded, 2 cups Grated

Swiss cheese; 3 pkgs Pepperidge Farm Party Rolls. Directions: Melt butter. Add mustard, poppy seed and onion. Slice through each roll, Remove top and spread both sides with butter mixture. Combine ham and cheese. Place on roll bottoms, then cover with top. Bake in roll container for 10 to 15 min. in 400 degree oven.

For First Friday Coffee last month, I wanted this same idea changed to comple-ment my Thanksgiving theme. This time I used Hawaiian rolls, only because I couldn’t find the others. I melted the butter and mustard, leaving out the onion. I used deli turkey, sliced thin, fontina cheese and a fried sage mayonnaise aioli! For the second package of rolls, I made a pineapple mango chutney mayonnaise, with the turkey and swiss cheese. There were completely different tastes going on but they were both very good. So my words to you this season—don’t be afraid to be creative! When I tell someone I made a fried sage aioli or a pineapple mango chutney aioli, they will look at me either like I am crazy or I must really be a good cook—for me, the truth is most likely somewhere in between!

Fried Sage Aioli½ cup Hellman’s mayonnaise 1 t. extra virgin olive oil 1 bunch (8 to 10)fresh sage leaves Salt and white pepper to taste.

Heat 2 Tbls. Extra virgin olive in a small sauté skillet. When the oil is hot, drop in the whole sage leaves. Fry until crisp and brown. Drain well. Place mayon-naise in bowl. Add olive oil. Crush the fried sage into small pieces. Add to may-onnaise. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Let the aioli set for several hours so the flavors will combine. Make sandwiches as mentioned above.

Mayor Grey’s Chutney Aioli½ cup Hellman’s mayonnaise 1 t. extra virgin olive oil2 t. Crosse & Blackwell Major Grey’s Chutney salt and white pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients until well-blended. Let Chutney Aioli set for several hours before serving. Note: I keep all kinds of chutneys and specialty jams on hand. Every time I go into a store that handles these things, I buy the most unique ones I can find. I know that something will come up that I can use a new jam or chutney with an old recipe. Just vary the technique.

If you have a special recipe you would like for me to try, please email me, [email protected]

By STEVE [email protected]

Last Friday’s Class 4A state semifinal game in Nashville between Maplewood and Covington presented the Chargers with a number of “firsts” of the season, none of which they wanted.

In falling 28-7, CHS scored less than 10 points for the first time this year.

For the first time no Charger back had at least 100 yards rushing in a game. Britt Dunn threw his first interception of the season, a pick-six, after the issue had been decided in the fourth period.

And for the first time all year an op-posing team had more rushing yards (319-287) than CHS and held the Char-gers to less than 300 rushing yards in a game.

Terrence Pierson led CHS with 99 yards rushing and Colliar Robinson added 58.

Johnston White, who finished the sea-son with a school-record 2,128 yards, was limited to 82 yards on 22 carries.

Maplewood (11-3), which will play Greenville for the Class 4A state title on Saturday, gave Covington (11-3) a gift on the opening possession.

CHS forced a punt and when the snap sailed over the punter’s head the Char-gers pounced on the ball at the Panther 45 yard line.

Twelve plays later, after keeping the drive alive with a fourth and five con-version, Britt Dunn scored on a 1-yard sneak for what would prove to be the Chargers' only tally of the night.

It did not take long for Maplewood to answer.

Panthers stop Covington's run in state semifinals

No tears in NashvilleIn 15 years of covering high

school sports, I've seen my share of tears.

When seasons, and for seniors, careers, come to an end, the tears from players, fans, cheerleaders and sometimes coaches usually start flowing.

Occasionally I'll even get a lump in my throat when one of the teams I'm covering sees a season come to an end in par-ticularly painful fashion.

I know it's kind of morbid, but when it became apparent that

Covington's 2011 football season was about to come to an end last Friday in Nashville, I started looking for somebody to cry.

But to my surprise, there were no waterworks to be found.

BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Cards take out Bruins, DragonsBy JEFF [email protected]

The Brighton boys basketball team has gotten the 2011-12 basketball season off to a pretty good start.

Last week the Cardinals defeated USJ 74-69 in the Martin Westview Classic and took out Colllierville, 96-60, at home.

Demarius Adams, Demetrius Dyson and Ricky Fos-ter each scored 15 points in last Saturday's win over USJ in Martin. Brighton trailed by one at the half be-fore rallying late.

The game against Collierville got out of hand early with the Cardinals (3-1) jumping out to a 54-31 half-time lead.

Dyson Brighton with 25 points, Adams added 16 and Dedrick Muex scored 13.

Brighton also suffered its first loss of the season in Martin on Friday in a 56-49 loss to Bolivar.

In Lady Cardinal action, Brighton (0-4) fell to Mil-lington on Thursday in Martin, 38-24. Collierville de-feated Brighton 57-42 last Tuesday.

Lindey Lane led Brighton with 13 points in each game.

CHS splits holiday tourney gamesBy STEVE [email protected]

Covington’s basketball teams took to the road over Thanksgiving for holiday tournaments in Huntsville, Ala., and New Madrid, Mo., with each squad split-ting a pair of games.

In Huntsville, the Lady Chargers (2-2) squeaked out an opening game 39-36 win over Huntsville in the Madison Academy Tourney. TaSheena Adams paced CHS with 11 points and Alaina Strong of Huntsville led all scorers with 15.

“We came out with fire and desire,” said Covington coach Dion Real, “ taking an 11-2 first quarter lead and then played not to lose. We are making a lot of early season mistakes and must improve our basket-ball knowledge.”

CHS’ second game against Sparkman (Ala.) was a 57-30 loss.

Trailing 11-9 at the end of one period, Covington “ lost focus and desire,” according to Real and trailed by 20 at the break.

Precious Harvey had 10 for CHS, followed by Iesha Carruthers with eight. Sparkman’s Alexis Jennings led all scorers with 27.

Munford High School Gymnasium

Returning the ensuing kickoff to their own 45 yard line, the Panthers found pay dirt in three plays on the flying feet of their Mr. Football finalist, Ladarius Vanlier, who blew into the end zone from 50 yards out to tie the score at 7-7 with 1:39 left in the first quarter.

Vanlier, who also had scoring runs of 38 and 51 yards, rushed for 233 yards on 16 carries.

“He is a really good back, as advertised,” said Covington coach Marty Wheeler. “He is similar to our backs, capable of going the distance at any time.”

A 40-yard scamper by White set CHS up at the

panther 11 in the second period, but Covington’s offense stalled.

Maplewood had a great opportunity as well, set-ting up shop with a first and goal at the CHS 10 late in the second quar-ter following a 65-yard Vanlier jaunt. His hero-ics were in vain on that occasion as the Chargers stuffed him at the 6 on a fourth and goal try.

CHS drove to the Ma-plewood 39 just before the half ended. It would be their deepest penetra-tion of Panther territory until the game’s final possession.

Covington’s first pos-session of the second half lasted 11 plays but only

covered 26 yards. A 12-yard punt set the

Panthers up with field position at their 42. Ma-plewood fumbled on sec-ond down but recovered at the Charger 38. It was huge. Vanlier scored on the next play for a 14-7 panther lead.

Vanlier’s final TD of the night came with 10:44 left in the game.

“We did not play our best against a good team,” said Wheeler. “Maplewood is big, fast and athletic and their de-fense was really good.”

As for the season, Wheeler was effusive in his praise for players and fans.

“The kids responded

and bought in to what we wanted to do. You can never anticipate play-ing 14 games. It has been exciting and rewarding. This team has rebuilt the CHS foundation we have been known for … To our fans, I can truly say that one of the brightest spots last Friday was seeing all of them in the stands. Seeing that big crowd in Nashville brought back some great memories. It was great to see. The team, staff and I could not be more appreciative of the fans support in Nashville and all season long.”

BALLContinued from B1

Sure, there were some long faces on the sideline and in the crowd, but no tears.

I thought about it for a while and I think I know why.

It may sound sappy, but by any measure Coving-ton’s season was a rous-ing success. And I think everybody in Nashville Friday night associated with Covington program realized it.

Two years ago at this time Covington was sit-ting at home pondering a third straight 2-8 season.

Head coach Marty Wheeler, hired before the 2009 season, was facing a

major rebuilding job. The days of playoff

runs and double-digit win seasons seemed liked a lifetime ago.

But things got fixed, and they got fixed quick-ly.

After making it to the playoffs last season for the first time in four years, Covington won 11 games this year and made it to the state semi-finals for the first time since 2005.

Three players – John-ston White, Terrence Pierson and Colliar Rob-inson – rushed for over 1,000 yards, and White set a new school record

with 2,046. Considering Carlos

Williams, the team’s leading rusher in 2010, played just two games before an injury kept him out the rest of the season, Covington’s offensive production was nothing short of amazing.

An undersized but ef-fective offensive line and a defense with a pen-chant for getting stops when it mattered most (see double-overtime win over Obion County) all added up to a season that nobody will forget anytime soon.

Following the loss Fri-day, Wheeler, the man

who orchestrated Cov-ington’s reversal of for-tune, stood on the 50-yard line at Maplewood Stadium as the fans filed out and summed up his team’s transformation thusly: “I think that, once we’ve had time to reflect back on it, it’ll sink in and mean a lot more … These guys coming as far as they have from two years ago says a lot about their character … We feel like this senior class has helped to get our foot-ball program back on the right track.”

And that, Charger fans, is nothing to cry about.

Brighton opens up District 13-AAA play Friday night at Hardin County and Tuesday at home against Jackson North Side.

In other area ac-tion:

The Munford boys defeated USJ, f55-49, last Wednesday

in Martin and fell to St. Benedict, 48-42, on the road last Tuesday.

Terrell Mills led Munford against USJ with 11 points and Kylon Hall added 10 as Munford (1-3) jumped out to an early lead and held on down the stretch.

Hall’s 11 points led

Munford against St. Benedict.

In girls’ action, St. Benedict defeated Munford 37-29.

The Lady Cougars (0-3) were led by 10 points from Rob-neisha Lee.

Munford plays at Milington on Friday before hosting Cov-ington on Saturday.

BHSContinued from B1

In the River Bend Clas-sic, the Chargers (1-3) notched their first win of the season with a 70-49 thumping of New Ma-drid.

Jawan Alston led the way with 15 points. De-vione Draine added 13 for the CHS and Demar-cus Seaberry 11.

“We looked like our old selves in the second half,” said Real. “We shot the ball well… made eight 3s and created a lot of turnovers.”

The second game changed Real’s thinking as the Chargers dropped a 61-59 decision to Ken-nett (Mo.) on a despera-tion 3-pointer at the buzzer.

The bright spot of the night was Alston’s 15 points and 11 rebounds.

Church Bulletins

By EMILY PEYTON COOK

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither--whatever they do prospers. Psalm 1:1-3

In 2008, I was introduced to Chronological Bible Discipleship, the method of studying the Bible daily that transformed my spiri-tual life like no other teaching tool. According to Donna Gaines, who teaches this curriculum at Bellevue Baptist Church, it’s chronologi-cal, because you read through the stories in the Bible in chronologi-cal order to see God as He reveals Himself from the beginning to the end. It’s biblical because it’s based on the text of the Scripture itself, al-lowing Scripture to speak for itself and to shape our response to God and to our circumstances. And it’s discipleship because it emphasiz-es the passing on of knowledge, experience, passion, wisdom, and view of God. CBD utilizes the Bi-ble’s story to help women develop a biblical worldview—not merely behavioral modification, but life transformation. It enables women to gain a high view of God and Scripture, as it alone reveals God as who He is—not as we want Him to be or even who we think that He is. It also guides women to discover truth for themselves—to become “self feeders,” build-ing in them a habit of reading the

Bible actively by asking questions: What’s happening? What does this tell us about God, man, sin, etc? Where have we seen this truth before? And how should I respond to this truth? CBD also teaches women that God uses ordinary women and it helps women de-velop a high view of God and scripture. CBD produces wom-en who will invest their lives in the next generation.

The way the study is set up, you read a dai-ly reading of the Bible at home each day and come together with a small group once a week within a large group setting. In my case, Donna would teach a lesson from a portion of that week’s text and then we’d discuss the topic in our small group with simple ques-tions that taught deep truths. This method of studying pulled a thread of redemption in Christ from Gen-esis through Revelation. All of the Old Testament text I never wanted to read became new and excit-ing as I looked for Jesus on every page. It took all those pieces of sto-ries I’d heard in church and made one big frame where all the puzzle pieces connected. I saw myself in His story for the first time and be-gan to learn on my own instead of being dependent on a preacher to teach me everything.

Since the end of 2008, I’ve been passionate about this way of bibli-cal discipleship. I’ve lead or co-led three different groups. As this year drew to a close, I began praying

about who was next on my disci-pleship list. God gave me a vision of women in my community, of all denominations and walks of life, uniting for a yearlong chronologi-cal bible study. I had no idea the

logistics of this, but I trusted God with what my eyes could not see. He soon put me in the path of Lori Hawkins, who shared a heart for biblical literacy and discipleship. We both believed it would be transformational as a way to unite Chris-tian women, empow-er them with God’s word, and send them out ready to disciple others through the Bi-

ble. She happened to be a pastor’s wife and offered their church fa-cilities to host the weekly study on Tuesday evenings, so that women who work during the day would be able to attend.

So, on Tuesday, January 10, 2012, we will begin meeting at Coving-ton First Assembly of God, study-ing CBD curriculum (ivamay.com) as we read through the Tyndale NIV One Year Chronological Bible together. We hope you will join us and spread the word to the wom-en in your church. More informa-tion will follow on my blog, www.emilypeytoncook.typepad.com.

Effective Nov. 19, 2011, Tennessee deer season will be open and shooters using guns, muzzleloaders or archery will be legal to take deer.

In Unit A, which includes Tipton County, during this season we can take a total of four deer. You can, also, take three antlered deer (only one buck per day) to limit out for the season un-less you take bucks on TWRA or NWR managed hunts where the bucks are noted as bonus deer.

Fluorescent orange of 500 square inches is a requirement. The require-ment can be fulfilled by an orange hat and vest, usually. If in doubt, wear more orange. It is for your protection. This requirement is for each person in the field regardless whether you have a gun or not. It is safety equipment and for our own good, it will help us all stay safe.

After bagging a deer, remember to tag the animal and take it to a checking station. Buchanan’s Grocery in Mason will be open. The Covington Fire De-partment on Tennessee Avenue behind Kroger will be checking in deer. Mun-ford Fire Department located at 1397 College St. will be checking in deer also. Haddad’s in Munford will also be checking in deer, along with Turnage’s Grocery at Randolph and Jeff Mason is a checking station.

Hopefully, you have already this sea-son checked your deer stand ropes to haul up your guns, muzzleloaders, or bows to make sure they are safe along

with the checking the deer stands also.Have you sighted in your rifle this

year or do you think it is still sighted in from last year? I have done that my-self, a couple of times and, so far, I have been right, luckily. It is better to shoot and sight the rifle in before season.

Now, after you bag the deer, remem-ber to leave evidence of species or sex of big game animals. If it is a buck, it will have horns, hopefully, more than three inches. It is a state requirement so they keep up with type and amount of animals harvested.

Leave any big game found dead alone. You have to have permission to move the animal.

If you would like to donate a deer to “Hunters for the Hungry,” take it out to Jeff Mason’s processing plant on Clowes Road. Jeff will process the deer and take the bounty to Tipton Cares and they will distribute it to the people of need in Tipton County. It’s a great program.

Remember if it is a buck it must have at least one antler measuring three inches or more. Also, do not shoot any albino deer. They are on the prohibited list. One other thing: email your pic-tures to me at [email protected]. Let’s see how many pictures we can get in the paper.

Good luck and happy hunting to all of you and be safe out there.

Arnold Bull hosts “Wildlife Chatter” on WKBJ and has won numerous awards for his writing and television work. He can be reached at 476-4601 or [email protected].
