the leader - oct. 13, 2011

The answer to two prayers came in August when Pastor Dickerson Wells said the Lord spoke to him while driving.

“He said ‘go to Munford,’” Wells recalls. “I’d never been to Munford, but I took a left turn; 30 days later we were closing.”

On Sunday, Oct. 9, Bethel Church of God in Christ’s Munford campus officially opened in the former Mu-nford Presbyterian Church. The 100-year-old property, located at 25 N. Tipton in the heart of downtown, has been up for sale for most of the year.

Citing a need for growth and relocation, members of the Presbyterian Church moved into what was once known as its Family Life Center, across from the church building on Main Street, this spring.

And, also needing room for growth, Bethel COGIC was hoping to expand its congregation in South Tip-ton County.

“We wanted to move into South Tipton because of the growth of this area and the growth of Bethel’s Memphis campus from this area,” Wells said. “So far we’ve had a wonderful reception

from the City of Munford, businesses, churches and residents.”

During the worship cel-ebration on Sunday, mayor Dwayne Cole said it was an “exciting” day.

“It’s a day of new begin-nings, of passion, of hope, of vision,” he said.

Cole referenced the city’s original name, Mt. Zion; its beginnings as a community that grew up around Mt. Zion Methodist Church; and the way church has been at the forefront of the commu-nity since it began.

He also commended the congregation on its audac-ity.

“Munford is 92 percent Caucasian,” said an ani-mated Cole. “You didn’t choose a side street; in an incredibly daring move, you chose right smack in

the middle of downtown. But the Kingdom of God is for the daring, the bold, the audacious.”

Munford Presbyterian’s pastor Mike Gibson also spoke during Sunday’s grand opening celebration, sharing that he’d only ever been pastor at the church that now belongs to Bethel.

“This is very emotional for me; I’ve been a pastor since 1988 and this has been the only church I’ve ever pastored,” Gibson said. “But the church has been dormant for a year and now there’s new life in it.”

Bethel COGIC began in 1950 when missionary Lula M. Davis began a non-de-nominational prayer and Bible band at the home of Mose and Ida Sutton in Memphis. The following year, Dr. C. C. Carlock or-

ganized the band of believ-ers and new converts into a congregation, relocating them to 218 Tillman Avenue as the Hebrew Church of God in Christ.

In 1958, the congregation moved to a small church on Princeton Avenue; four years later they were on the move again, this time to Meagher Street after pur-chasing property and con-structing a new church

In 1988, Elder Dicker-son L. S. Wells established Bethesda Church of God in Christ. In January 1992, a month after Pastor Carlock passed away, Wells was ap-pointed pastor of the He-brew COGIC congregation, merging it with Bethesda.

A former Memphis City Schools educator, Wells has now been leading this con-gregation for 20 years. He and his wife, Lady Valesa S.J. Wells, whose parents live in Covington, are the proud parents of four chil-dren ages 16-25.

In 1998, Pastor Wells led the congregation in the pur-chase of their current facil-ity at 2216 Clifton Avenue. In 2005, the church was re-named Bethel.

On Sunday, Wells said the church’s theme since De-cember 2010 has been “the glory of the Lord revealed for you.”

“It’s evident God’s glory has been revealed for Bethel

SEAL’s parents to speak SundayParents of fallen West TN Navy SEAL recount faithBy SHERRI [email protected]

This Sunday the family of Navy SEAL Chief Petty Offi-cer Aaron Vaughn will speak at First Baptist Church of Cov-ington about their son, his faith in God, their family’s faith and how their beliefs and trust in

the Lord is helping them to cope with the loss of their oldest child and only son, brother, husband and father.

Vaughn had been in the Navy for almost 10 years, joining on his 21st birthday the summer fol-lowing 9/11. He was a member of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six, the unit credited for killing Osama Bin Laden. On Aug. 6, insurgents shot down the CH-47 Chinook helicopter he and 37 other service members were rid-ing in. Thirty service members were killed, including 22 SEALs

from Vaughn’s unit. It was the deadliest single incident in the nearly 10-year-old Afghanistan war.

Vaughn was born in West Ten-nessee in Union City and gradu-ated from Obion County Central High School. According to his family, Vaughn knew he was go-ing to be a SEAL team member, even when he was a small child.

“He always said he was going to be a SEAL,” said his father, Bill Vaughn, proudly. “When he tore his ACL in college, he worked hard to strengthen his knee so

he could become a SEAL. The Navy didn’t learn of his injury until he was half way through training and they decided since he had made it that far, he could finish.”

Vaughn had met the love of his life, Kimberly, when she was a Washington Redskins cheer-leader and visiting overseas on a USO tour. They had two chil-dren, a son Reagan, who turned 2-years-old in September, and 4-month-old Chamberlyn, who was born two weeks before her father deployed to Afghanistan.

Navy SEAL CPO Aaron Vaughn was killed on Aug. 6 when the Chinook transporting him and 37 others was shot down.

If you’re looking for the Atoka Police Department, soon you’ll have to look somewhere other than city hall.

Last weekend, the department moved to a temporary location on Wesley Reed Drive in order to allow more space for of-fices for other municipal employees.

“We’ve just outgrown this building,” said Town Administrator Brian Koral. “We’ve expanded this facility as much as we can.”

City Hall, located at 334 Atoka-Munford Avenue, currently houses Koral’s office, the police department, the water depart-ment and administrative offices.

New parks and recreation director Brian Peel’s office is located at a folding table in the back of the city’s meeting room. Pub-lic works director Daniel Lovett’s office is in a telephone closet.

Mayor Daryl Walker, like his predeces-sor Charles Walker, does not have an of-fice. And this, clearly, is a problem.

“There’s no place for the mayor or al-dermen to privately meet with citizens,” Koral said. “They need to have some place.”

The easiest way to relieve some space, he said, was to move the police depart-ment to an alternate location. But it’s only temporary; Koral said many of the town’s aldermen wouldn’t agree to the move without that condition.

For years, city officials have discussed the town’s growing pains, its struggle to provide an office for its mayor, and Koral said the time has come to explore options. Site plans are currently in progress to ren-ovate or rebuild city hall, allowing for a better experience for citizens.

“The setup we have now is just not user-friendly,” he said. “It needs to better serve our residents.”

On Tuesday, Oct. 4, the city adopted a resolution approving a site plan agree-ment with Fisher & Arnold, Inc. for the proposed new city hall. The master plan-ning process, which will include meetings with staff members to identify space and projecting the town’s future needs related to its operations, will cost an estimated $4,995.

Cotton isn’t produced at the same rate it once was in Tipton Coun-ty. But production is up compared to last year.

Glenn Zarecor, the ex-ecutive director of the USDA’s Farm Service Agency in Tipton County, remembers a time in the last 20 years when 75,000 acres of cotton were plant-ed in the county.

As recently as 2002, Za-recor said, cotton plants took up 56,000 acres.

This year there were ap-proximately 30,000 acres planted in the county, compared to 26,408 a year ago.

“It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s not disastrous,” Zarecor said when asked to assess this year’s Tipton County cot-ton crop. “Its’ about av-erage. There’s some real good cotton out there, and there’s some average cotton.”

“With the drought, it’s still pretty good,” said Booker T. Leigh, direc-tor of the UT Extension Office in Tipton County. “There have been some better prices this year. These are the best prices I’ve seen since I’ve been here … Cotton prices are up nationwide.”

Last Thursday, local cotton farmer David Tem-pleton could be found de-foliating some acreage on his land on Solo Road in Northeast Tipton County.

“It’s looking like it’s going to be a little below expectations,” Templeton said. “Just too much heat, too much dry weather.”

The economy has also had an affect on cotton production.

All commodity prices are up, as is almost al-ways the case in a slug-gish economy. But grain prices have risen higher than cotton, relative to production costs.

“I used to plant almost

all cotton,” Templeton said. “Now its more like 25 percent of my acreage. It used to be 85 to 90 per-cent … With grain prices up, I’ve had to change things.”

“The reason the (cotton) acres have decreased is because of (higher) grain prices,” Zarecor said. “A lot of cotton farmers are bean and corn growers now.”

Amanda Bell, an equip-ment sales person for Case, rode with Temple-ton Thursday as he defo-liated his crop.

She has noticed some of the difficulties cotton farmers have experienced this year.

“The defoliant hasn’t worked as well,” she said. “Some of that has to do with the weather … I know some guys who have to defoliate two and three times.”

Despite the drop in cot-ton production in Tipton County and nationwide, cotton is still a huge part of the local economy.

Zarecor estimates that Tipton County cotton sales will be in the $23 million range this year, with a cost of about $400 an acre to grow. The av-erage local yield is 800 pounds an acre.

Included in the equa-tion is about $12 million annually in farm equip-ment and agricultural-related sales.

“Some people may think they see farmers getting rich,” Zarecor said, “but they don’t re-alize it takes a lot more money to produce than it used to … The last 20 years yields have gotten better because of technol-ogy, but yields have not increased as much as the costs.”

In the early 1990s there were seven to eight cotton gins in Tipton County. To-day there are three: Ten-nessee Gins, Hatchie Gin and Burlison Company.

Russell Bailey has been

in the cotton business for decades. He is currently the manager of Tennessee Gins in Covington.

Bailey estimates that his company has produced close to one million cot-ton bales since 1973.

He acknowledges that things can be tough for cotton farmers today.

“With the price of equip-ment and everything else, there are tremendous odds to overcome just to stay in the black,” Bailey said.

But he also points out how vital the cotton crop is to the local economy with many jobs and doz-ens of businesses depen-dent on cotton.

“The agriculture dol-lar will revolve in the community seven or eight times,” Bailey said. “When the farmer does good, the whole commu-nity does good … It’s like the advertisement says: It’s part of the fabric of your life.”

First Baptist Church’s senior pastor, Chuck Wil-liams has been a friend of the family for years and baptized Vaughn at six-years-old when the fam-ily lived in Troy, Tenn.

“Aaron was the most unbelievable, all-Ameri-can kid,” said Williams. “He was a great friend, a wonderful son and he loved the Lord with all his heart. He was smart, had a great personality and he truly cared about people.”

Williams invited Vaughn’s parents, Karen and Bill, to speak to his congregation on how their faith has helped their family deal with their loss.

“Chuck has been in-volved from the start and was one of the first people who called when he heard the news about Aaron,” said Bill. “He asked if we’d come share with his congregation on how the Lord has helped our family during our time of loss and the hope that we have because Aaron was a believer in the Lord and we know we will see him again some day.”

The past few months have been especially hard on the entire family and especially his daugh-ters, said Bill. On the day they buried their son in Arlington National Cem-etery, the family received news of the death of a first cousin and a month later, their youngest

daughter lost her boy-friend of two years in an auto accident.

“Aaron and my oldest daughter were less than two years apart in age and grew up very close together,” said Bill. “My youngest daughter is just 19, so Aaron was her big, big brother and then she lost her boyfriend. It has not been easy for us at all. We’ve had three close deaths since the begin-ning of August and it’s has been a tough couple of months.”

But even though they have been dealt with more pain than can be imagined, the family has stood strong in their con-victions.

“Honestly, and I don’t want to say this lightly, but we totally trust the Lord and believe what his words say,” said Bill. “I can’t lie, it has been very painful but we haven’t doubted the Lord’s grace and he has blessed us abundantly. But the pain has been enormous. We miss him so much,” he added, his voice crack-ing. “I never imagined the pain would be so much. We are to bury our parents, not our children. I am thankful we have our faith and so thankful Aaron was a believer. We don’t wonder if we will see him again. We know we will.”

Besides Aaron’s beau-tiful children, his legacy, the family says, will be his absolute trust and

faith in God and his ser-vice to his country doing what he knew was right.

“Aaron was a strong believer in Christ in a dark world,” added his father. “He was clear about what he was doing and how evil radical Is-lam is to the Western and Christian world. Aaron and his buddies were fighting for our Christian culture. I want people to be aware that we are in a long war with people who want to destroy us. Aaron understood that and had faith in his call-ing.”

“He was a good Chris-tian man and absolutely fearless,” added Pastor Williams. “Yes, he was a warrior but he was also a gentle man. When Aaron became a Navy SEAL, I said ‘this is a good thing for the U.S.’”

Morning worship ser-vices at First Baptist Church, 211 S. Main St. in Covington will begin at 10:55 a.m. Visitors are invited to attend worship services and to hear the Vaughn family testify on their faith.

„I never imagined the pain would be

so much. We are to bury our parents, not our children.

With plans to embrace Munford Elementary in ministry, Wells said Beth-el will be a great addition to South Tipton County.

The church was “move-in ready,” he said, and encompasses five class-rooms, three offices, a nursery, youth room, fel-lowship hall and kitchen in addition to its sanctu-ary.

No major changes are planned for the church. And yes, said Wells,

they will keep the hourly chimes for which the fa-cility is famous.

“We just want to con-tinue to make a differ-ence in the South Tipton community,” he said. “This is the place of God, the place where your life changes.”

Worship services will take place at 8 a.m. each Sunday; midday prayer will take place at noon each Wednesday with worship and word at 7 p.m.

Sorghum cane has been used in the United States since about the 1850s when it was dis-covered it was a perfect sweetener to use in food and drinks. By the 1920s the US was producing 34 million gallons a year but production declined after World War II.

Across the South, farm-ers are trying to bring back sorghum and a sim-pler way of life. Here in Tipton County, Tim Am-mons and his family use their farm, Oleo Acres, to introduce people to this traditional way of life.

On Saturday, Oct. 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Am-mons will host his second annual Oleo Acres Sor-ghum Festival at 269 Mc-Donald Rd. in Stanton. Located just off Hwy 179 and Bud Eubanks Road, the Oleo Acres Sorghum Fest is free and fun for the entire family.

Sorghum is sometimes mistakenly called molas-ses but is actually from a different genus of plant. Unlike molasses, which is a sugar cane by-prod-uct with no nutritional value, sorghum is loaded with lots of minerals and vitamins.

Sorghum syrup and hot biscuits are a traditional breakfast in the South-

ern United States and it is also used on pancakes, cornmeal mush, grits and other hot cereals. It can be used as a cooking ingredient whenever mo-lasses is used.

“It’s really a great way for parents to let their kids have something sweet while giving them vitamins,” said Ammons. “Before we had multivi-tamins, doctors would prescribe sorghum be-cause it’s so high in iron and vitamins.”

During the festival, there will be lots to see and do. Traditional arts and crafts will be on dis-play, there will be square dancing and demonstra-

tions of traditional broom making using the seeds of the black amber sor-ghum cane and pottery crafting will be shown. A master syrup maker will demonstrate his craft and festival-goers will be able to witness sorghum production from cane to bottle. There will also be a karate exhibit, Girl Scout bake sale and for a small charge, guests will be able to experience the Spooky Trails. And of course, there will be plenty of sorghum syrup to purchase. Ammons sells his sorghum in two varieties, thin or thick and in pint or quart-sized jars.

“You can use it for any-thing that you use sugar for,” said Ammons. “It’s great on everything!”

opted a resolution ap-proving the lease agree-ment for the building that will house the police department for the next two years. Monthly rental costs will be $2,000 each month, plus utilities.

The police department will now be located at

139 Wesley Reed Drive, Suites D&E, in between Galleria Furniture and Interiors and Lord of the Beans. The lease agree-ment states the building will be occupied by the department until Oct. 6, 2013.

Bank of America recently announced that it will charge a $5 per month fee for those with ATM/Debit Cards associated with their accounts. Since that an-nouncement there has been a firestorm of criticism and calls for the government to prevent banks from making such charges.

Now, I am no fan of Bank of America as they were one of the institutions bailed out from the taxpayer-funded TARP program in 2008 and 2009. Just as I believed the government should not have intervened then, I believe now that the govern-ment should stay out of the banking business.

Don’t get me wrong. I do see a role for government in ensur-ing the banking system is ethical, legal and not ruining the good faith and credit of the United States. Needless to say, the government at times has failed in that role under both Republican and Demo-crat governments. Still, our banking system should be predominantly left part of the free market upon which the American economy was established.

Just like Mom & Pop shops, automakers, manu-facturers of “widgets”, and all others vying for a place in American commerce, the market, with its competition in goods, services, customer affection, risks and rewards, is where most decisions should be made, not in Washington, D.C. If a business makes good choices, it may profit and thrive. If bad choices, it may find that it need not try to stay in business much longer.

Bank of America obviously cannot offer ATM/Debit services for free. No bank really does, so they may cover the cost in others ways that may not be so transparent. They may charge the merchant higher fees for debit use in their stores, but the merchants just pass that cost on to the customers in the price of the goods purchased. Other banks may make up the difference in return check and other fees, but that is a risky way as we hope consumers will get wiser in time over decisions that lead to such fees. Perhaps banks can make up the costs of ATM/Debit systems through interest rates charged for loans or lower rates than would be otherwise paid for savings.

Bank of America’s only real crime here is awful public relations. They have already been in the news negatively over the past few years, and they really should have thought this one through. The bank does have the contract with the federal government with its VISA Cards for those assigned to use them for travel and other purchases. Perhaps they felt that contract would mitigate the losses they will most certainly suffer under such an ill-timed and poorly communicated policy.

Unless the government once again intervenes, Bank of America will see in time what financial impact this decision will have on their business. Their computer system has already seized up from so many of their customers going on-line to voice their anger, make withdraws or close accounts. It may be unfair as ATM/Debit systems do cost money to operate and the bank is just trying to cover those costs, but again they have done a poor job marketing this strategy.

If enough customers bail out of Bank of America over this fee, then the market will exact its conse-quences through income loss, lower profits and per-haps complete failure of the bank. They will learn to survive and recover, they will fail, or perhaps Bank of America will just wait for another taxpayer bailout for another bad business decision. It’s insane, but it’s what America seems to have become – the Nanny that won’t let us succeed or fail.

All the kids in our small com-munity had daily chores that must be completed without question. Regardless, if the earth came to an end right then and there, before you departed the “chores” were your re-sponsibility. It wouldn’t surprise me if some of the landlords didn’t come to the graveyard and dig you up and tell you right quick, “I don’t know where you think or hope you are going, but you ain’t fin-ished yo’ chores.” We were made to believe the chores were that important. As all Southern farm-ers remember, the livestock had to be fed and watered even before the family. Why.....the city slickers ask?? That’s how we made our living if we were to have any grub on the table. Simple enough for us country folks.

But my chores didn’t even start until after a full day inside the lo-cal penitentiary. Many a day and sometimes into the night, I have spent what seemed like an eternity in the corn crib. With the chores staring you square in the face it was downright nerve-wracking for a light pole climber tromping up the blacktop having to go to school each day. The teachers showed no mercy what so ever. It was bad enough to sit in class all day, but we had to “tote” (Southern Rose-mark languaguese for ‘carry’) a million books home to study some more. That alone hampered my playing.

Sometimes, silently hoping to copy the mystifying Shadow and his slippery perils, I’d try to slip in the bedroom and hide my book satchel under the bed hoping Momma didn’t see it. Maybe she’d think I had finished my lessons in study hall. But No Sirrreee.........one of the ghosts of Rosemark Uni-

versity would descend upon our haven and throw a spell on Mom-

ma and the spirits would emerge with, “where’s your homework?” Nev-er failed!! How do Mom-mas and Daddies know all this stuff??

Neighbor, no matter how hard I tried or what excuse I came up with, none worked. One of the first things I learned and still remember even back when I came out of my

Martha White flour sack diapers was to change clothes when you got home from school. Now my Southern ‘pore’ rednecks can relate that we had three sets of clothes. Work clothes, good clothes and Sunday good clothes.

The work clothes at one time were.....good clothes....until they got worn thin and patched sev-eral times. My good clothes were worn to school, down to Sears on Saturday afternoons or possibly to Millington if we bought some gro-ceries at Mr. E. A. Harrold’s empo-rium. My ‘Sunday good’ clothes were only worn to church, funerals or school plays.

A few times I wondered why I had to change so many times and Momma would explain,” well you don’t want to wear out yo’ good clothes.” “Besides working folks need to wear......work clothes.” I can’t win! As soon as ball practice was over, I’d run home, hoping the chores had disappeared, but as usual the answer was NOPE!

My work clothes would be lay-ing by the stove in the kitchen and while I was changing Momma would fix me something to eat. A growing rug rat has got to eat every two hours and since it was about three hours or so before sup-per I craved a little snack. Some-times I’d have toasted, brown marshmallows on yellow tinged

crackers, right out of the oven. Re-member how you’d grab with one hand, swap back and forth trying to lick the gooey cream before it ran down your arm and blow on the morsel trying to cool it before it burned your tender tongue. I’ve always loved crumbled cornbread in my big glass of buttermilk. Es-pecially with the small bits of yel-low butter floating to the top. We referred to this delicacy as a......country milkshake. If you got real fancy, chop up some good, sweet onions and stir them around very slowly, as you don’t dare bruise and hurt them. Now this was a....country malt!! Looking back this was so good it would make you want to slap yo’ second cousin’s Uncle on your Daddy’s side of kin.

If there had been a sale on rag ba-loney, maybe Daddy had bought a whole stick butchered at Fineberg’s packing just like Mr. Ben had in his meat counter at the Rosemark General Store. Most of the time the fancy big round baloney was too expensive, but I loved rag baloney anyway. Hey, ‘pore’ country folks can’t be choosy. One more delica-cy was a cathead filled with cured ham, sprinkled with a little sugar around hot melted butter running down your pinkies. Grab, twist, turn, flip and lick quickly before the crust falls off.

Now it was time or so Momma said, “to get my clothes on, fly in and finish my chores. Grudgingly, I started to wrap up and face the cruel world. Sometimes I thought I was terribly mistreated. Having to go to school every day, wear old clothes, and change clothes all the time. Now I’m having to work like crazy at this young age. Boy, it’s going to be bad when I get a little older or maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll get everything done and there won’t be anything left to do in a month or so. Dream on, dream on!!

Try as you may, the chores will still be waitin’

FROM THE VAULT

The Sixth Sense Normally, we are blessed with

5 senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and feel. I submit there is a sixth sense. I call it the guttural sense. The guttural is a feeling deep inside you that will guide you when considering a course of action. There is a subtle, yet firm alarm if that course of action is not a good choice. By the same token that guttural sense awards you when you make good choices. That “award” is the “gut” feeling you have behaved properly.

This guttural sense is more

prevalent in individuals who have enjoyed the benefit of a good home life. It was born in an atmosphere of a family that practices values and is nurtured by self-esteem. However, it is not absent within individuals who have suffered compromised envi-ronments. These individuals are more challenged by peer-pressure and must rely on the “gut feeling” more intimately while making choices.

Jerry Clower, comedian/phi-losopher, once shared a story regarding this. He asked his mother about a shirt he took from

the closet – “is this shirt clean?” His mother replied, “Jerry, if you have to ask – the shirt is not clean. Put it in the dirty clothes and I will wash it”. When faced with choices, if you have to ask some-one if this is right – don’t do it. If there are doubts about the choice – it is probably not right.

If you had to surrender one of your senses, which one would it be – sight, hearing, smell, taste, or feel? Or would it be the guttural sense – the sixth sense?

You may not see it posted on your calendar, but Oct. 16 – 22 is National Save for Retirement Week. This annual event, endorsed by Congress, is designed to raise awareness about the importance of saving for retirement — so you may want to take some time this week to review your own strategy for achieving the retirement lifestyle you’ve envi-sioned.

If you’re not convinced of the need for an event such as National Save for Retirement Week, just consider these statistics, taken from the Em-ployee Benefit Research Institute’s 2011 Retirement Confidence Sur-vey:▪ The percentage of workers

not at all confident about having enough money for a comfortable retirement grew from 22 percent in 2010 to 27 percent — the high-est level measured in the 21 years of the Retirement Confidence Sur-vey.▪ 56 percent of respondents say

that the total value of their house-hold’s savings and investments, excluding the value of their pri-mary home and any defined ben-efit plans (i.e., traditional pension plans) is less than $25,000.▪ Less than half of the respon-

dents say they and/or their spouse have tried to calculate how much money they will need for a com-

fortable retirement. These numbers are obviously

troubling — and they indicate that most of us probably need to put

more thought and effort into our retirement sav-ings. What can you do? Here are a few sugges-tions:▪ Determine how much

you’ll need in retirement. Try to define the lifestyle you want during retire-ment. Will you travel the world or stay close to home? Will you work part time or spend your

hours volunteering or pursuing hobbies? Once you know what your retirement might look like, try to estimate how much it might cost.▪ Identify your sources of retire-

ment income. Take into account your IRA, 401(k) or other employ-er-sponsored retirement plan, So-cial Security and other savings and investments. How much income will they provide? How much can you withdraw from these ve-hicles each year without depleting them?▪ Calculate any retirement

shortfall. Try to determine if your savings and investments will be enough to provide you with an income stream that’s adequate to meet your retirement needs. If it isn’t, develop an estimate of the size of the shortfall.▪ Take steps to close savings

“gap.” If it doesn’t look like you’ll have enough to meet your retire-ment needs, you may consider adjusting your savings and invest-ment strategy. This may mean con-tributing more to your IRA, 401(k) and other retirement accounts. Or, perhaps your investment mix may need to be reviewed to find a bet-ter balance growth potential with risk. Or you may need to take both of these steps. ▪ Monitor your progress. Once

you’ve put your investment strat-egy into place, you’ll need to mon-itor your progress to make sure you’re on track toward achieving your retirement savings goals. Along the way, you may have to make adjustments, if there are changes in your objectives or your specific situation.

Taking these types of action can be challenging, so you may want to work with a professional finan-cial advisor who has the experi-ences and resources necessary to help you identify and work toward achieving your retirement goals. In any case, though, National Save for Retirement Week is a great time to consider your course of action.

It may sound like something straight out of Hollywood or a summer reading list, but Atoka’s new coffee shop/juice bar is anything but fan-tasy.

But it is a dream come true for owners Todd and Jeanie Nelson.

“We started looking into this (business) two years ago when Perks closed,” said Jeanie. “It’s taken a lot of work and a lot of planning.”

Lord of the Beans – named because of the owners’ love for the epic tale Lord of the Rings – has been serving up java and juice since late last month and have been met with great reception.

Offering organic and whole foods shakes, smoothies and coffee drinks, the shop caters to connoisseurs concerned about their health, well-ness and what they con-sume.

“I like knowing I’m not just going to give you a cup full of sugar,” Jean-nie said. “In every small smoothie, there are three cups of fruit; in every large, there are five. Even if you’re not trying to go organic, they’re whole foods and nutrient-dense calories, not empty calo-ries.”

Patrons also have the

option to add protein, fiber, daily vitamins and more.

Located next to the area’s fastest-growing fitness center, the couple encourages people to visit the shop after their workout.

“After they work out they do need to get some-thing into their body, they need to replace the calo-ries they’ve burned plus about 10 percent more within 30 minutes.”

Coming in to get a re-covery shake, Jeanie said, gives the right portion of carbs, protein and fat. And best of all, it won’t go right to your hips.

“We really want to be a benefit to the people over at the gym.”

Before they opened, Todd and Jeanie thought coffee drinks would be the majority of their

sales, however that has not been the case.

“We get more draw from the gym, so we sell more smoothies and shakes. It’s been really phenomenal.”

Lord of the Beans of-fers a family-friendly atmosphere, complete with shakes for children and tables covered with butcher paper for draw-ing (adults are more than welcome to draw, too, of course).

The shop is also host-ing an on-going art con-test open to children, teens, adults and fami-lies. While visiting, draws something and be en-tered to win the monthly prize that includes a gift card and the display of the winning artwork.

The Nelsons hope that, in addition to filling a need in South Tipton

County, the shop also serves as a place to gath-er.

Hours are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Fri-day and 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday. They will be open later when there are midnight releases at the movie theater.

“We just really want this to be a place people want to come because they feel welcome,” Jean-ie said.

For more information, and their complete menu, find them on Facebook or visit them at 139 Wesley Reed Drive, Atoka.

Editor’s Picks: The Tropi-

cal Oasis and Mango Tango

smoothies are delicious as

are the vanilla latté and the

children’s strawberry short-

cake shake! Trust us, you

don’t want to miss out.

I’ve often wondered how many youngsters have to come home and do their chores as we did back then?? How many get muddy, greasy, cold or sweaty?? What seemed like a torture chamber was the way we were brought up. Now I’m not saying what was right or wrong!! All I know is that is the way all the kids in the com-munity were taught. It was just a way of life. If you didn’t have chores, you were called a ‘sissy’. Beloved, just another day or saga in the life of a Redneck in our Illustri-ous South!!

Southern Bred.......Southern Fed.......and when I die..........I’ll be Southern Graveyard Dead!!!!-------GLORY!!!!!!

Grandmother,I saw my mighty angel as she came down from heav-en; she was clothed with a cloud and a rainbow was upon her head, and her face was if it were the sun; her feet as pillars of fire. She was the prettiest angel I have ever seen, as she was standing on top of the mountain with her hands lifted up towards heaven; And the earth was lightened by her glory. She said, ‘Wipe all tears from your eyes, for I have gone home to be with Jesus.’

I love you,Michael Sr.

Hello my friends, My goodness, I thought the days were going to get somewhat cooler. I am grateful for the 80 degree days though my pan-sies don’t like this warm weather; they prefer the 70s and under. So if you have planted your pan-sies already just water and wait, they’ll bounce back. The Brighton football team won again against Carver. The homecom-ing was so nice and the homecoming court was beautiful. We have some gorgeous girls at Brigh-ton High. We play again at home this week, we play Hardin Co. The band was off from com-petition this week. And as I am sure most of you know, Tipton Co. schools are on fall break. The Brighton Baptist Church will host a Jubi-lee on October 22. I will have more information

next week. This will be on a Saturday so plan on attending. How fun! There are a few birthdays this week, Heather Com-er, Barbara Winberry, and Mitch Reynolds. Happy Birthday to all of you. I was listening to some food tips for health and it has found that Grape Seed Oil is very good alternative to the cook-ing oils we usually use. And it doesn’t have the taste like Olive Oil can have. Also, it has a high-er smoke rate to it. So it is better for high heat. Hope all of you have a great week! Love, Debe

Greetings – At this time I have a heavy

heart. On Friday, Sept. 30 my be-loved uncle, who was also like my brother, passed from this earth to connect once again with all of his loved ones gone before him. Cor-nell Clayton Sherrill was with us for 62 wonderful years. His nick-name was “Wit,” given to him by his late mother, Florence “Doll” Smith Sherrill, simply because he was just that: witty! He always kept you laughing with one of his jokes or his teasings, especially him teasing his family and close friends, of which are many.

We were there beside him all of the way, especially his beloved sis-ters, Florence, LaRue and Gloria, and his dear brother, Pink Nathan-iel Sherrill Jr.

To his only daughter “Sweetie,” who now lives in Covington, you are in our hearts, you and your family.

Services for Uncle Cornell were held on Saturday, Oct. 8 at Brigh-ton Hill M.B. Church on Ballard Slough Road in Jamestown. Bar-low’s Funeral Home of Covington was the place for family house, from 2-7 p.m. with ending family hour from 6-7 p.m.

Our family would like to thank all of Uncle Cornell’s healthcare providers: Methodist North, Meth-odist Central and especially Spring Gate Rehab in Memphis; the entire staff was totally devoted to our family members’ needs as well as to all of ours. A special thanks to the entire Barlow staff of Coving-ton, Rev. Quincy Barlow and Mrs. Marjorie Barlow whose services are always “A-One!”

Jamestown Community Health Organization (JCHO) had a meet-ing on Saturday, Sept. 24 regard-ing the upcoming gala, “A Night of Elegance,” which will be held on Oct. 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the lovely Covington Country Club.

JamestownDarsay Burton

By Russell BaileyTipton County Historian

By September 30, 1861, Fort Pillow was garri-soned by only 945 infan-try. A soldier of Colonel James C. Tappan’s 13th Arkansas Infantry re-called his first military camp on the Mississippi:

“The camp was at Fort

Pillow, about 60 miles above

Memphis on the east bank

of the Mississippi River. I

went up on a steamboat and

had a chill on the boat…

that landing (Pillow) comes

up distinctly. The bluffs

were high, 60 feet or more,

and their top, level. Nothing

but sandy soil, not a sign of

rock to be seen. Their sides

all bare, steep and worn

into ravines by the rain,

unrelieved by trees or even

low, carved out of its front.

A few soldiers stood there.”

A soldier of the 9th Tennessee Infantry wrote that the Confederate oc-cupation of Columbus, Ky. in September-Octo-ber was “a continual work

ship.” Soldiers worked on the breastworks and batteries, mounted can-non, policed the town and camps and drilled. During this time there were one or two minor naval engagements and frequent skirmishes be-tween scouting parties. Lieutenant James I. Hall of Mt. Carmel wrote to his family about his Company C of the 9th In-fantry:

“The 4th Tennessee In-

fantry has moved two miles

up the river…We have be-

tween 25 – 30 thousand

troops here. Genl. (Albert

S.) Johnston is said to have

arrived here last night…

We have been very anxious

for his coming; have not

had confidence in our lead-

ers.…

“(I) am clearing off a new

camping ground about a

mile from town on the bluff

expect to move in a day or

two am now camped in a

low wet place. It rained the

other night, camp deluged

with water shoe mouth

deep in the tents. I coiled

up in a goods box and slept

soundly… we are now hard

at work on the batteries o

fortifying the place strong-

ly… the enemy have a body

of troops stationed about

10 miles above us on the

river. Our cavalry are sent

up there every day to watch

their movements.

The health of our compa-

ny is good some little com-

plaint but no one sick; we

have a noble set of boys can

do more work than any two

companies in the Regiment.

We work 4 hours day on the

battery; we still keep up our

prayer meeting.”On October 1st, the

9th Infantry was placed in General Benjamin Cheatham’s Division. By Oct. 3d, the Tipton volunteers of the 9th In-fantry were in their new campground on the hill a mile from the Missis-sippi. Lieut. James Hall thought that it was a good place with better drainage that would help prevent sickness among the men. He wrote on that day that General William Hardee’s troops were ar-riving at Columbus.

On the 4th, Private J. C.

Edenton of the 13th Tenn. Infantry wrote: “At night

I was lulled into sweet re-

pose by the playing of the

band. The last thing that

lingered around my mind,

while closing my eyes, was

the glorious words ‘Dixie’." On the 7th he saw Gener-al Albert S. Johnston for the first time.

The 4th Tennessee Infantry including the “Tipton Rifles” were now commanded by “Brevet” Brigadier General Rufus Neely, their former colo-nel. Neely’s Brigade was placed in General John P. McCown’s Division.

During early October, John Gracey Hall and Bartlett M. Browder be-gan recruiting volun-teers in Tipton County to form a Confederate infantry company. James A. Moore of the Porters-ville-Atoka community recalled the company be-ing organized at Clopton Campground in October. Browder was elected captain and Hall first lieutenant. Browder was a wealthy planter and veteran the Mexican War. The company established camp at Clopton. The volunteers named their company the “Sons of Liberty,” which was later designated Company G, 51st Tennessee Infantry.

MES looks to win a portion of $1 million in music funds

Crestview Middle School would like to invite all Tipton County military veterans to its Veterans Day Program on Friday, Nov. 11 at noon. There will be a reception in the library after the program. Interested veterans are asked to send their name and branch of service to [email protected] to be included in the program’s slide show presentation.

Invitation for vets

Kreston Smith is in his second year as music teacher and choir director and Munford Elementary School.

He’s made it his personal mission to improve the facilities, instruments and materials that are available to his students.

Now, members of the community have a chance to help with Smith’s mission.

Members of Munford Elementary’s choir, with the help of Smith, recently filmed a skit and submitted it to the Give A Note contest, which is sponsored by the popular television show “Glee.”

The show’s producers have committed to donating $1 million dollars to the musical departments of pub-lic elementary schools across the nation. Schools can receive as much $50,000.

“The idea was to create a video about how money is needed for instruments and things like that,” Smith said. “The kids are really excited about it. It thought

(the video) came out really funny.”Residents are encouraged to log on to www.glee-

giveanote.com, view Munford Elementary’s video and vote for it. The amount of money awarded will hinge on how many votes are received.

Smith has big plans to improve the music depart-ment at MES and the Cougar Cub Choir, which in-cludes 87 children.

Currently, the department’s resources are limited to a piano and a few drums and triangles.

“I think I’ve got $27 in our account right now,” Smith said. “That’s not really enough to buy anything … We’re looking to buy xylophones, iPads, sound proofing… We don’t really have anything that’s mod-ern.”

Smith said software is available that be used on iP-ads to enrich and improve the learning process.

“The ultimate goal is to start a piano lab so they can independently learn.”

The MES choir will performing Oct. 22 at the MES Fall Festival and Oct. 24 for Red Ribbon Week.

With stars in her eyes, Hannah Gilbreath, a Burlison home-schooled senior recently was selected to par-ticipate in a mock “American Idol” contest at Disney World in Orlando, Fla.

And although the contest may have been fake, that wasn’t the case with Hannah’s talent who has been singing since she was 2-years-old.

Hannah, her four siblings and their parents, Lana and Clay Gilbreath, along with their grandparents, Billy and Annette Gilbreath and her un-cle and aunt, Greg and Shawna Gil-breath and their four children spent their vacation in Florida where Han-nah competed in the American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Set-up like the real “American Idol”, contestants had to sign on stage in front of a producer for the preliminary round. After successfully completing the preliminary and advancing to the next round, Han-nah sang “Bubbly” by Colbie Caillat before judges and was voted to advance to the final competition.

The final competition was held at 7 p.m. in front of a live studio audience of more than 700 people. Fac-

ing four other first-round winners, Hannah sang her heart out. After listening to the judges’ critiques, Han-nah waited patiently with the other contestants while

the judges debated on the their perfor-mances.

With her family anxiously waiting, the results were announced and Hannah’s name was revealed as the contest’s winner.

“This was very fun and exciting,” gushed Hannah. “It was definitely a “bigger deal” than I thought it would be. It was the big-

gest audience I have ever sang in front of and the big-gest stage I’ve ever sang on. When I found out Carrie Underwood and David Cook had sung on the same stage it really hit me. The best feeling from the whole experience was when I heard people from the crowd chanting my name before the results were read. It made me realize “Wow! There are people besides my family who actually voted for me!”

For winning the American Idol Experience at Dis-ney World, Hannah received a “Dream Ticket” which

will allow her to cut to the front of the line of a future real American Idol tryout although she’s not sure if she will use it.

“I’ve honestly never wanted to audition for Ameri-can Idol,” she said. “I’ve always looked at it as too secular or a way to just “get famous” and I’ve really always just wanted to be a worship leader. Now that I have this opportunity with American Idol it has really made me think about the people I could reach. I’ve been doing a lot of praying about it and I guess we’ll just have to see where God takes me!”

Spearheaded by teach-ers, the Junior Auxiliary recently began the sec-ond year of its INK pro-gram.

INK is a penpal pro-gram, where teachers correspond with students from different schools.

“We write back and forth, once a month,” said program chairman Michelle Hudson.

This year, Junior Aux-iliary members are writ-ing to fourth graders in Brighton Elementary and Covington Integrated Arts Academy.

Hudson said the stu-dents benefit from the program because they learn how to write let-ters. The benefit for JA members in mentorship.

At the end of the school year, the penpals meet. Last year they held an ice cream social.

“We get eager to meet them,” said Hudson. “We talk to them all year through letters and it’s fun to meet them face-to-face.”

A Dogs 2nd ChanceSponsored by:

My name is Bidda. I was dumped at the Vet’s office very young, sick and skinny. I am now well and full of spunk. We are not sure of my breed, but my face reminds my foster Mom of a brindle boxer/lab mix, although I am a smaller version of each. I will probably be medium size when I grow up. I LOVE to play! I am a little rough because all my foster siblings are big dogs. My big brother Hooch lets me put my head in his mouth. I have never met a cat, but I would love to try to play with one. I would chase it to let it know I want to be buddies and play. I like my crate, Mom

puts my food in it 2 times a day, but I also go in there when I am tired or want solitude. I go outside to potty with all the big dogs. Although things are good here, I dream of having my own humans to love. Please come see me or arrange a meeting today!! I want a human of my own so very much!!

The Tennessee General Assembly recently passed a law to make the elections process more secure. Be-ginning in 2012, voters must present identification bearing their name and photograph in order to vote, just as if they were boarding an airplane or cashing a check.

The process is simple: voters who do not have valid photo IDs may obtain free photo IDs for voting from any participating Department of Safety driver service center across the state. Voters over the age of 60 who have driver’s licenses without photos and no other form of valid photo IDs for voting may have their photos added to their licenses free of charge.

County election commissions are making efforts now to get the message out about the changes well in advance of the 2012 elections.

“Our staff is prepared to help voters learn about the new requirements and if necessary, how to get a pho-

to ID,” said Neil Bell, Tipton County administrator of elections. “We will do our best to ensure every voter is informed in plenty of time.”

Examples of acceptable photo IDs, even if expired, include: a Tennessee driver’s license with a photo, a United States passport, a Department of Safety photo ID, a United States military photo ID, a state-issued handgun carry permit, or any other photo ID issued by the federal or state government, except college stu-dent IDs.

“Local election administrators are working hard to prepare voters and poll workers,” said Secretary of State Tre Hargett. “I am confident this law will be beneficial and can be implemented smoothly.”

Some citizens will be exempt from the new law, in-cluding: absentee voters, residents of nursing homes or assisted living centers who vote at the facility, peo-ple who are hospitalized, people who have religious objections to being photographed and those who are indigent and unable to pay for photo IDs. Voters who do not bring photo IDs to the polls may vote with pro-

visional ballots that will be counted if they return to their local election commission office and present a valid photo ID within two business days of the elec-tion.

For more information about the voting require-ments, contact the Tipton County Election Commis-sion at (901) 476-0223 or call Mark Goins, coordinator of elections or Andrew Dodd, elections specialist in the state Division of Elections at 1-877-850-4959.

Tipton County Election Commission informs voters of new law

Influenza, or flu, sea-son is right around the corner, and the Tipton County Health Depart-ment is ready to offer flu vaccine to area residents. A mass flu vaccine clinic will be held at the Tipton County Health Depart-ment on Oct. 20 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. This clinic is designed to allow peo-ple to be able to get in and out quickly.

“It takes about two weeks to be protected af-ter you get the flu vaccine, so it’s a good idea to get the vaccine as soon as it’s available,” said Shavetta

Conner, M.D. Regional Health Officer. “How-ever, we will continue to vaccinate residents through the winter, or as long as we have vaccine available. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone six months of age and older get their yearly flu vaccine as soon as vaccines become avail-able to the community.”

Flu shots and/or Flu-Mist nasal spray vaccine will be provided during the vaccination clinic. There will be a charge of $32 for flu shots and

$13.70 for FluMist. The cost for vaccines will be charged on a sliding fee scale. Payment can be made in the form of cash or check and Medicare and TennCare can be billed. Private insurance will not be billed.

Appointments must be scheduled for the mass flu clinic. Please call the health department at (901) 476-0235 to book your appointment.

COVINGTON EXCHANGE CLUBTerry Wilson (center), director of respiratory, cardiology and neurology at BMH-Tipton, spoke to the Covington Exchange Club recently about sleeping disorders. Shelia Fleming was the program chairman and Jimmy Dawson is club president.

Hi Everyone, hope this weather continues for at least a couple more weeks as we soon plan to take off for Bran-son, Miss. The foliage should

be beautiful. We have a 50’s Rock and Roll show reserved and we will see more after we get there. I now have a wonderful book to read as we travel. Mr. George Parker, our friend at McDonalds, bought a book of 400 pages called “Through Indian Eyes.” I cannot wait to read it, as our family descendants have been officially recognized as Cherokee.

Last week Charlie and I stopped in at his cousin’s home, Carolyn Rammage. We stopped to wish Char-lie’s other cousin, Wayne Click, a happy birthday and played a round of pool. We played partners, the la-dies against the men. Poor Carolyn, I wasn’t able to pull up our side for her. She’s very good. It has been many years since I’ve stood besides a pool table. But it was a fun afternoon. Of course the men won.

A mother’s love never dies. My mother would have been 92 this past Monday, however, she passed away at the age of 78 from diabetic complications. But those precious memories last forever. Praise the Lord. Well, I know a lot of happy teachers and students who get to sleep in this week. But my grandchildren had to get up and go to football practice anyway.

Memorial to the Playground Fund: in memory of Ricky Fletcher. Happy birthdays this week go to Megan McDivitt, Wyatt Draffin, O’Brian Smith, Catharine Fletcher, Rebecca Osbourn, Charles Todd, Sally Bibb and Sarah Fletcher. Hope they are the greatest!

Sharon Presbyterian ChurchWorship is 9 a.m. each Sunday morning. Rev.

Charles Todd is the minister. We welcome all mem-bers, friends and visitors to the fellowship of Sharon. We are always grateful for our Dunlap people who can make it. We have several on our prayer list. Please remember Mrs. Louise Gumpton from Dunlap as she has been in the hospital and now in physical therapy.

Covington Church of ChristWorship is at 10:30 each Sunday morning and again

at 5:30 p.m. Sunday evening. Bible Study at 9:30 a.m. Sunday morning and again at 7 p.m. Wednesday eve-ning. Brother Mike Rogers is our minister and Broth-er Jeff Phillips our associate minister. We have been studying love and selfishness. I’m sure everyone was examining himself or herself. Excellent lesson. There will be a Widows and Widowers Luncheon on Thurs-day, Oct. 13 at the home of Billy and Ann Chapman at 11:30 a.m. We have several on our pray list at this time. Please continue to remember Grant Edmonds as he has improved a great deal. Also Todd Townsend in his recent surgery and so many others. Our youth is having a clothes give-a-way on Sat., Nov. 12. Please wash and bring as much clothing as you can. We also need clothes racks if anyone has access to them. You may bring them to our church building. Happy birth-days this week go to Aaron Speight, Grant Edmonds, Zach Kidd, Carolyn Whaley and Ron Chaney. Hope they are great!

In closing, hope your getting ready for the next big and scary holiday. With things like they are today, I’m sure most young people will be having church par-ties, or neighborhood parties. It’s a crying shame our children cannot know the freedom that most of us had

to go trick or treating back in the “old” days. I have already purchased my candy, but don’t really know how many we will have.

Our neighborhood watch meeting last week was outstanding. We had officers Brandon Matlock, Don-na Turner, David Bitzer and Ben Forbess. It was the best meeting we have ever had. Thanks to all of you for your concern and dedication for the safety of our entire county. All of our law-enforcement personnel are in our prayers daily.

Brenda Talley of Covington and 10-year-old Mack-enzie Leigh of Drummonds recently donated 10 inch-es of hair to Locks of Love.

Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that pro-vides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children throughout the United States and Canada who suffer from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

The hairpieces provided allow the children to face the outside world and their peers with a renewed sense of self-esteem and confidence.

Talley chose to donate for reasons close to her heart.

“I was diagnosed with cancer eight years ago and lost all of my hair; I received a human hair wig. I wanted to show my appreciation by giving back to someone who has lost their hair because of a medical condition.”

Her hair was cut by her niece, Talisa Taylor. Mackenzie’s hair was cut by Ashley Gunnels of

Darrbe Lane Salon in Atoka.

Normally, you wouldn’t think that mayhem, murder and scandals would be part-ners in a comedy but then, it is almost Halloween and any-thing is possible.

This weekend, the Ruffin Theater will present “Scandal at Hampton Estates,” a farce murder mystery that will have you laughing, confused and thoroughly enjoying yourself all at the same time. Written by Donna Van Oss and Kayla Livous, the play is directed by James Cacy and produced by Jenni Cacy.

Try to follow along as so-cialite Ivana Hampton throws the 75th annual and grandest costume ball and social event of the year to celebrate her new appointment as the city’s social calendar chairperson and to impress her snobby friends. Ivana has invited the city’s most respected and up-per crust citizens, as well as media coverage and every-thing is going fine until her redneck family shows up and steals the show.

There’s Ivana’s mother talk-ing to her imaginary friend, her elderly uncle who thinks he’s Hugh Hefner and arrives with his 24-year-old bimbo fiancée and the strange hobo who crashes the party… and that’s just the beginning. The scandals revealed are sure to make small town history.

“People are going to love this play,” said director James Cacy. “It doesn’t matter what genre you like – murder mys-tery or comedy – this play has something for everyone and I guarantee they are going to laugh all the way to Hallow-een!”

Ivana discovers her cook failed to prepare any food, the electricity goes out, a security guard is murdered and the famous Hampton heirloom is stolen and a ransom note demanding $10 million dol-lars is left in its place. When the police show up and an-nounce that no one can leave the estate, that’s when the fun really starts! The unhap-py and hungry guests find themselves trapped at what

could be the worst party in the city’s history.

To get into the true costume ball spirit, theater guests are encouraged to watch the play in their favorite costume and, in fact, the Ruffin Theater will give a $1 discount to any pa-tron who comes to the play dressed in a costume.

“The kids will love the costumes and we are encour-aging people to come in cos-tumes to enjoy the ball with us,” added Cacy.

The play starts on Thurs-day, Oct. 13 and continues through Sunday, Oct. 16. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children with $1 off the admission price if a costume is worn. There are three eve-ning performances beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and two mati-nee shows at 2 p.m. on Satur-day and Sunday.

The Ruffin Theater will host special guests for Satur-day’s evening performance. Both playwrights, Van Oss and Livous, along with their families, will be at the Ruf-fin to watch their play come alive as only the Ruffin The-ater Troup can make it. So come watch a great play, sup-port local community theater and meet the playwrights… it’s a great way to begin the Halloween season!

Patton’s tanks rolled across Europe. Coach Marty Wheeler’s ground as-

sault demolished the Haywood Tom-cats Friday with 420 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns in a con-

vincing 53-7 Dis-trict 13-AA win on Senior Night in Covington.

Colliar Robin-son racked up 188 yards on just 11

carries and tallied five touchdowns on runs of 1, 9, 20, 57 and 43 yards.

On defense, Trae Wilson and Terence Pierson each recovered a fumble, Arta-vian Brown snatched an interception and Shelton Lyons, Terrell Tate and

Wilson all recorded sacks in a dominat-ing performance to improve the Char-ger season record to 6-1 overall and 4-0 in district play.

“We came out firing on all cylinders and took care of business,” said Wheel-er. “Thirty three first quarter points is our best production in a long while. We made a statement.”

Haywood fumbled the opening snap of the game. CHS recovered at the Tom-cat 1 and Robinson notched his first TD just 24 seconds into the game. The die was cast and the rout was on.

The Chargers finished with 469 net yards on offense to 205 for Haywood. Two lost fumbles deep in Tomcat ter-ritory cost CHS additional scoring op-portunities. Covington did not punt in the contest.

TRA takes down MiddletonBy JEFF [email protected]

With the clock winding down under three minutes and Tipton-Rosemark clinging to a 27-20 lead Friday night against Middleton, Rebel coach Dodd Gengenbach made a decision.

He decided to put Keith Hamlin on Middleton wideout Rodrico Brittman, who had given the Rebel defense trou-ble all night.

Hamlin promptly intercepted a pass intended for Brittman and returned it 15 yards for a score.

The touchdown ended up being a much-needed cushion as the Rebels held off Middleton 33-28 for the team's first win of the season.

“I told the kids they're going to give me a heart attack,” Gengenbach said. “We switched Hamlin on that guy and he made a great break on the ball … It shouldn't have been as close as it was, but they made some big plays.”

Following Hamlin's pick-six, Jaime

Smith found Brittman, who finished with 110 yards receiving, for a 63-yard touchdown pass that cut the lead to five with 43 seconds remaining.

Middleton (2-6) tried an onside kick following the score, but TRA (1-6) re-covered and ran out the clock to secure the team's second straight homecoming win.

Logan Stewart scored on a 1-yard run with 2:35 left in the third quarter to give TRA a 20-14 lead. Middleton answered with an 8-yard run from Dre Coby to tie the score at 20.

Stewart, who completed 8 of 12 pass-es for 71 yards and also rushed for 65, intercepted a pass and returned it 68 yards in the third quarter to trim Mid-dleton's lead to 14-12. He connected with Hamlin on a 23-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter for the Reb-els' first touchdown.

Stewart's third touchdown, a 1-yard run with 3:20 left in the game, gave TRA a 27-20 lead.

Cards overpower Carver earlyBy JEFF [email protected]

Brighton kept rolling Friday night at home.

Behind three first-quarter touchdown pass-es from Brady Stewart, Brighton scored early and often on the way to a 49-8 homecoming win over winless Carver.

The Cardinals (6-1), winners of six straight, led 42-0 at the half.

Stewart hit Rujonn Glass on touchdown strikes of 55 and 11 yards for Brighton's first two touchdowns and found Chance Sampson for a 58-yard touchdown early in the second quarter to push the lead to 28-0.

Stewart completed 8 of 11 passes for 190 yards

before giving way to backup Bentley Jones in the second half.

Brighton didn't run the ball much, but got short touchdown runs from Greg Starks, Treyshun Gardner and Jones.

Ricky Foster returned a punt 70 yards for a touch-down midway through the second quarter.

A 1-yard touchdown run by Percy Wilkerson in the fourth quarter ac-counted for Carver's only score of the game.

Glass led Brighton's receivers with three catches for 68 yards and Zach Rogowski hauled in a pair of passes for 69 yards.

The Cardinals host Hardin County Friday night in 13-AAA action.

County teams play pivotal games FridayBy JEFF [email protected]

There are some huge games tomorrow night for Tipton County’s high school football teams.

Covington (6-1), ranked No. 5 in the lat-est 4A state poll, travels to Troy to take on third-ranked Obion County Central in a matchup of teams with undefeated records in District 13-AA. The winner will take over sole possession of first place in the district’s West division.

Brighton hosts Hardin

County in a District 13-AAA game. The Cardi-nals (6-1) will be looking for a seventh straight win and to remain perfect in league play.

While Covington and Brighton both appear certain to make the play-offs, the same cannot be said of Munford, which will host Jackson North Side Friday in District 13-AAA action.

Coming off a bye week, the Cougars (2-4 overall, 1-2 district) are in a must-win situation if they have plans of qualifying for the playoffs for the first

time since 2007. Munford sits third

in the District 13-AAA standings, a half game ahead of North Side (2-5, 0-2). A win against the Indians would likely se-cure third for Munford in the five-team district.

Wins in the team’s two final games over non-district foes Frayser and Westwood would put the Cougars in good position to grab a wild card berth in the Class 5A playoffs.

“The No. 3 team in the region has gotten into the playoffs every year since they changed the playoff

format,” said Munford coach Matt Saunders. “We would be the No. 2 5A team in the district.”

But before that scenario has a chance to play out, Munford must get past North Side, a team that beat Munford 42-7 last year.

However, the Indians were hit hard by gradu-ation and have been up and down in 2011.

“They’re very athletic,” Saunders said. “They’ve put together some good drives, but they’ve had just as many bad drives. When they don’t make

mistakes they’re a good team.”

Ti p t o n - R o s e m a r k , which is coming off its

first win of the season, travels to Jackson Chris-tian School.

Tipton County has done a very good with squirrel season to date. Opening weekend was a walk in the park with many hunters bringing the limit back to camp. Dove season has been almost as good. Maybe Deer/Archery season will fall right in line with the good harvest so far in this hunting season. It has been open only a short time and I am hear-ing good reports on the number of deer and also the size of some of the bucks.

Next up is the 2011-12 Tennessee Duck Season starting the first seg-ment Nov. 26-27 and the second segment will run Dec. 3 through Jan. 29. The daily bag limit is six and may include no more than four mallards (no more than two of which may be a female), one black duck, three wood ducks, two pintails, one canvasback, two scaup and two redheads. Coots and gallinules will be 15 and Mergansers five (only two of which may be hooded mergansers) and Virginia and sora rails will be 25.

Youth Waterfowl Hunt-ing Season (for youths 6-15 years of age and must be accompanied by an adult that is in a position to take control of the hunting device) is coming up. Daily bag limit will be the same as statewide bag limits. The adult accompanying the young hunter may not hunt ducks but may participate in other open seasons. Season dates are Feb. 4-5.

Arkansas last year in-creased its harvest of mallards 14 percent from

605,672 to 691,693 from the previous year and had a total duck harvest of 1,410,800. Mississip-pi’s duck harvest stayed about the same at 113,597 for the year to the previ-ous total of 113,291, with a grand total of ducks harvested of 332,300. Ten-nessee slid a bit on duck harvest from 128,946 to 112,500 with a grand to-tal of 284,700. Missouri’s duck harvests went from 221,325 to last year’s high of 262,778 with its total duck harvest of 520,200.

The number of duck hunters in Arkansas went from 55,000 in 2009 to 52,700 in 2010. Mississip-pi’s hunters in 2009 were 13,600 and15,500 in 2010. Tennessee hunters were 20,600 in 2009 to 15,900 in 2010. Missouri hunt-ers in 2009 were 35,200 to 30,200 in 2010.

Maybe there are hunt-ers out there who remem-ber the years in the early eighties when everything was frozen over above us and we were inundated with Canadian Geese. Shortly afterwards, the Mississippi Flyway Goose Season was closed for five years below Reel-foot all the way past Louisiana. The idea was to increase the number of geese going south and five years would let them create a new pattern. To make all these numbers work, Illinois was sup-posed to quit feeding the geese, so as to encourage them to head south.

I was always doubtful of our success. However, according to the figures that I have at hand, Ar-kansas, alone, harvested more geese than Illinois last year. Maybe, just maybe, I was wrong.

The Mississippi Fly-way harvested more than

three ducks/geese to every one ducks/geese harvested on the Atlantic Flyway. Does that mean we are better shots than those eastern boys or just that we have more ducks and geese than they do, or, maybe both?

Many years back, my wife and I were invited to dinner at her friends’ house in Memphis. I went. We were not in their house three minutes before the friends’ hus-band made the comment, “anybody that will go out in freezing weather and sit in a boat all day to kill a duck is not very smart.” (Actually, I cleaned up what he really said.) I was a dyed in the wool duck hunter and ignored his comments. Next year, this dinner came again. I was dreading going. When we arrived at their house and they opened the door it looked like a souvenir shop for Ducks Unlimited. Somebody had taken this fellow duck hunting and he went over board in love with the sport. I laughed so hard I cried and he did not care.

Thus is the power of our little feathered friends and that is the reason that I posted the stats up top. A lot of folks from this area go duck hunt-ing here and in Arkansas. I call them the Arkansas Bridge Club because they have to cross a bridge to get to Arkansas and the Arkansas ducks.

B4By RICK HUFFMANGilt Edge Church of Christ

Burger King is one of the most successful fast food chains in America. The key to their success is in customizing their menu to the whims of its customers. Their slo-gan is “Have it your way… special orders don’t upset us”. Fancy up-scale restaurants have something comparable, “a la carte” where you order from the menu exactly what you want to accompany the main dish. Other industries such as the auto industry have followed suit offering all kinds of options to customize the vehicle to one’s individual wants and preferences. As a nation, we are a pampered spoiled people who want (or de-mand) things the way we want them. Sadly, this attitude is also prevalent in our religion.

People insist on “having it their way” in religion as well. Most religions have jumped on the bandwagon to cater to the fan-cies of its members or potential members. Almost every religion offers “contemporary” as well as “traditional” services. One can almost be assured of fi nding a church that satisfi es their desires whatever they are. If you are look-ing for a church that has generous and liberal terms of admission or no terms of admission, you are in luck. If you want a church that requires “faith only” to be saved, you can fi nd it. If you believe that faith and repentance is necessary for salvation, rest assured there is a church that takes that view. If you believe that one has to have a “religious experience” to be saved, you can fi nd a church that teaches that, too. In short you can fi nd a church that will accept almost any-thing you want to believe or do in order to be saved.

It is the same way in regards to worship. If you want acapella mu-sic, a piano and /or organ or a full rock band, there is a church out there to accommodate you. If you want to observe the Lord’s supper once a week, once a month, once a quarter, only on holidays even if they are not on a Sunday or never, there is a church out there for you. If you want to attend services fre-quently several times a week, only once a week, maybe once a month or only on Christmas, Mother’s Day and Easter, there is a church

out there who will welcome you with open arms.

If you are looking for a church that will pretty well allow you to do whatever you want to do, you will not have to look far or go far. If you have a particular practice that you enjoy but that “certain narrow-minded” people may con-sider offensive or downright sin-ful, there is a church that will not only accept you but encourage you in that practice. This can range from smoking (dipping, chewing) to drug abuse(prescription or oth-erwise) to social drinking to danc-ing to premarital sex to extramari-tal sex to bigamy to polygamy to homosexuality to divorce and re-marriage and the list goes on and on.

The popular slogan of the day is, “Attend the church of your choice”. Shouldn’t it be, “Attend the church of Jesus’s choice”? I heard my great aunt pray several years ago in a worship service thanking God for all the choices. Is God pleased with all the choices? Did Jesus not pray for the unity of His followers? John 17:20 Nei-ther pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Fa-ther, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. Hasn’t the multiplicity of churches created chaos and confu-sion since they teach different and contradictory things? Not only is God not happy with the religious situation, He had nothing to do with creating it. 1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches (speak-ing of individual congregations) of the saints. I Cor. 1:10 Now I be-seech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined to-gether in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are con-tentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucifi ed for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

The focus is on the individual in today’s society but who are we trying to please? Or maybe the more correct question is, who should we be trying to please? The Galatian church had left the sim-plicity of the true gospel to follow something more pleasing, more palatable to man. Paul utters this warning, Gal. 1: 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have re-ceived, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Is the plan of salvation up to me or any man or any church based on what I or he or it may want? Is it not God who made us and not vice versa? Isa. 64: 8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Is it not God who knows better than we? Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Did not God send His own Son for us to obey? Mt 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Did not Christ’s death give Him the authority to tell us how we can be saved, how we must worship and what His expectations of us are? Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Matt. 7: 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heav-en. Which will it be? Will you in-sist on having it your way or will you have it God’s way?

Angel Cake House opens in CovingtonNew ministry provides clothing for less fortunate at no costBy ECHO [email protected]

COVINGTON – Canaan Baptist Church has found a way to trans-form its parsonage and help those less fortunate at the same time.

Now operating as a facility that distributes clothing to the needy, Angel Cake House recently opened in Covington.

"If people need clothes we have some," said missionary department chairman Minnie Bommer. "They can select the items they want and have them at no charge."

Bommer said the ministry is sup-

ported through donations of cloth-ing and shoes made by members of the church as well as the public.

"A place in Memphis donated brand new clothes to one of our members," she added, "and that's how we started this ministry."

The Dickson sisters, said Bom-mer, helped work to prepare the facility and they chose the name.

"They worked so hard on it that we named it whatever they want-ed."

Started by the missionary ladies and led by Mrs. Gloria Jones, the Angel Cake House is open on the third Saturday of each month, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Three people – two members and a deacon – volunteer to work at the distribution center and help families who visit.

Bommer said people in need of clothing need only call the church or stop by the Angel Cake House in order to select clothing.

The ministry has received a good response from those it serves.

"It's really been good, especially when school started," she said. "It's a good way to give back to the community."

Canaan Baptist Church is locat-ed at 211 N. Main Street in Cov-ington. For more information, call 901-475-8782.

Added in amongst the Robinson scoring spree were a 2-yard run by Car-los Burton, a 70-yard run by Lyons on a third and 8 play and a 61-yard gal-lop by Johnston White, all in the first quarter.

Josh Watts was good on 5 of 8 PATs for CHS.

The Tomcats managed a lone score by quarter-back Bryce Young on a 7-yard run early in the second quarter following a 65-yard drive.

The CHS victory sets up a huge District 13-AA West Division matchup tomorrow night at Obion County.

With a bye last week, Obion sits at 7-0 (5-0) and boasts a No. 3 ranking in the Associated Press 4A poll. The Chargers are just a half game back in the standings and are ranked at No. 5.

“Obion has been treat-ing this game like the Super Bowl for weeks,” said CHS assistant coach J. R. Kirby.

“We need a big crowd of our Charger fans to follow us up Hwy. 51 to Obion,” Wheeler said. “This is a big one in many ways.”

Kick-off is set for 7 p.m.

“The story with this year’s team, just like last year’s, is that we don’t have a lot of numbers

over there on the side-line,” Gengenbach said. “They work as hard as any team I’ve ever had.

I’m happy they were able to get some of the spotlight they deserved … I’m happy for my se-

niors, and my team, and quite honestly the whole community.”

MHS golfers fare well at state tourneyBy JEFF [email protected]

The Munford boys and girls golf teams held their own last Tuesday and Wednesday at the Class AAA State Tournament at Willowbrook Golf Club in Man-chester.

Led by a top 30 finish from senior Amanda Levin (84-89-173), the Lady Cougars finished sixth out of eight teams.

Junior Madison Willis (98-84-182) finished second for Munford and freshman Lindsey Owen (111-128-239) also competed for the Lady Cougars (355), which finished 52 strokes behind first-place Clarksville.

Munford, which advanced to the tournament for the second straight year after winning the region title, finished seventh last year.

Emily Williams of Lawrence County won the indi-vidual title with a 145 (71-74).

Kara Glover, a senior at Brighton, competed in the individual competition and shot a 200 (108-92).

On the boys side, Munford senior Jake Etherington and junior Easton Lavelle each shot a 151 (Ethering-ton 76-75, Lavelle 73-78) to finish in a tie for 27th place in the individual competition.

Freshman Sam Lopez (85-84-169) and juniors Salva-dor Lopez (92-82-174) and Josh Mecklin (99-100-199) also competed for Munford, which shot a 645 as a team and finished in eighth place.

Munford finished one stroke behind Dobyns-Ben-nett and 55 behind first-place Hendersonville.

Rossview senior Tyler Guy won the individual competition with a 138 (67-71).

By STEVE [email protected]

Covington’s Lady Charger soccer team tuned up for the district playoffs with an 11-2 run-away win over the Gibson County Lady Pioneers on Oct. 4 in their final regu-lar season match.

Freshman Anne Marie Van Cleve turned the hat trick for CHS giving her a total of 20 goals for the year, a CHS record ac-cording to Coach Robert Luttrell.

Her fellow freshman, Iesha Tipton, matched her feat with three goals. J’La Brandon, Gabby Glenn, Kali Moss, Sarah Ann Franklin and Han-nah Howard chipped in a goal each in the win.

CHS, finishing 7-6-2 overall and 7-2-2 in the district, will have the #2 seed behind Dyersburg and an opening round bye in the playoffs.

They will host the win-ner of McKenzie/Hay-wood at 5 p.m. on Oct. 18 at Charger Field. Semi-final play continues on Oct. 20 at Martin West-view.

In another match, CHS

dropped an 8-0 decision to Madison Academic, the No. 1 seed in District 6, on Oct. 3.

“This was an eye open-er,” Luttrell said. “We have to play really good teams to get better.”
