Aldermen call officer’s firing ‘wrong’
Bommer: Mayor set city’s
progress ‘back 10 years’
By ECHO DAY
[email protected]
COVINGTON – Tension
between city officials and the
mayor is nothing new, and
now aldermen in District 1
are calling to question the
termination of a detective last
month.
Personnel records show
Eunice "Sonny" Foster, who
was hired in 1996 and spent
three years as a reserve
officer prior to his full-time
employment with the city, was
terminated in December for
neglecting his duties.
Police chief Buddy Lewis
said Foster mishandled the
investigation into the shooting
of Lejarvius Taylor on Nov. 18,
2014 and did not mirandize a
suspect, but he and two of the
city's aldermen disagree with
the termination.
Though mayor Justin
Hanson called the neglect
of duties "borderline
egregarious," alderman John
Edwards and alderwoman
Minnie Bommer called it "a
small infraction"
"I want to go on record and
say that I don't believe this is
fair or equal," said Bommer.
"If this was a white officer,
I'd do the same. Unfairness
anywhere bothers me. I don't
want our employees to feel
like they're not safe working
here."
Bommer feels so strongly
about the issue, where an
18-year veteran of the police
department was fired for
what she calls a "small
infraction," she publcly
apologized to constituents
at the Martin Luther King Jr.
Day celebration Monday for
encouraging them to vote for
mayor Justin Hanson in last
year's election.
"This has really set us
back 10 years," she said. "I'm

It's important, said Minnie
Bommer, to honor the struggle of
the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"Many years ago when Calvin
[Brent] decided to do this, he came
over and he said, 'Ms. Bommer, our
people don’t understand why it was
that we celebrate this day and why
it was hard, so hard, for us to get,'"
she told a crowd at Collins Chapel
C.M.E. Church Monday. "He said,
'We need to come together, that's a
time for us to come together, talk to
each other, disagree if we want to …
but be of one accord to understand
why this is important for us.'"
And so, for more than 22 years,
a crowd has gathered at the church
and honored the legacy of a man
who taught Americans not just to
pray for their enemies, but to love
them.
"This is what he was all about.
And we’re here today honoring that.
And when you heard the scripture,
his was a lot of love. He turned the
other cheek all the time, all the time,
and he taught us to turn the other
cheek. Even though everybody tells
us, the bible tells us to love one
another, it was Dr. King telling us to
love our enemies, people that were
persecuting us, people that thought
that we were lower than animals,
yet he told us to love them."
Performing this year, as they have
for many, was the Tipton Aide Male
Chorus in addition to the Douglass
Chapel Youth Choir and the Grace
COGIC Choir from Memphis.
David Gwinn, Tipton County's
genealogist, shared a snapshot
of life in Tipton County in 1965,
noting it was the year schools were
integrated and African-Americans
marched from the courthouse to
the board of education in protest
of a split school year designed to
accommodate cotton picking.
Isaiah Davidson, a lifelong
educator who, along with his late
wife Dorothy, was honored for his
contributions to the community
that day and emceed the program,
said it was powerful to compare the
differences in society in less than 50
years.
"The courthouses that used to jail
him, they are closed to honor him."

Special to The Leader
I
n 1863, in a letter to New
York mayor George Opdyke, Abraham Lincoln
wrote, “Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere,
who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to
the citizen who cares for
his brother in the field and
serves, as he best can, the
same cause.” Today, we
honor our veterans on certain days of the year, when
they deserve to be honored
all year long.
Barrie Foster, director of
the Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial and
Nature Center, and whose
dream it was to honor a
Tipton County veteran each
month, has partnered with
the Tipton County Veterans
Council to do just that.
Jan. 13 marked the inauguration of the Veteran of
the Month program, held at
the museum.
The first veteran honored
was the Reverend Norman
Crittenden, former pastor of
Garland United Methodist
Church.

We fought for the freedom of the world. It wasn’t
easy. I have been to the end of the death march and it
was terrible. – REV. NORM CRITTENDEN
Russell Bailey, former
Covington mayor, nominated Crittenden for the honor
and opened the program.
“We’re here this evening
to pay tribute to Sergeant,
Reverend, gallant Kentuckian, Norman Crittenden
who answered the call of
his country in 1943,” said
Bailey. “He spoke with great
feeling and emotion of his
experience in combat in war
to our men’s Bible study and
this is just a small tribute to
him.”
Reverend Crittenden was
born in Kentucky on Dec. 13,
1925 to Will and Ruth Crittenden. Like many young
men of his era, he enlisted in
the United States Army during World War II and was
promptly assigned to the
98th Chemical Mortar Battalion where he saw combat
in the Pacific Theater, mainly
New Guinea, Luzon, Philippines and Wake Island.
As a member of the 98th
Chemical Mortar Battalion, Crittenden fought and
served in four enemy held
beach landings, fighting to
drive back the Japanese. At
the end of the war, the 98th
had lost seven men, had 64
wounded in combat and
fired almost 107,000 rounds.
After receiving a certificate of honor in recognition
of his selfless service to our
country, Reverend Crittenden spoke to those in attendance and gave a riveting 15
minute account of his time
in combat on the island of
Luzon, Philippines to an utterly silent room.
“I am so grateful to be a
veteran of foreign wars of
the United States of America,” started Crittenden. “We
fought for the freedom of
the world. It wasn’t easy. I
have been to the end of the
death march and it was terrible. I want to tell you a
short story and it’s taken me
50 years to be able to do so
without crying.”

called a racist town."
The investigation
Though through the
appeals process Foster
and his lawyer said the
detective conducted the
investigation in the same
manner as any seasoned
investigator would,
Lewis and Hanson did
not agree.
After being shot
on Nov. 18, Taylor
reportedly told Foster
who'd pulled the trigger.
A statement written
by Lewis states Foster
was instructed to locate
the person of interest,
but Foster wanted to
wait to talk to the victim
instead.
"I told him that we
needed to go and
attempt to locate the
suspect as quick as
possible," Lewis wrote.
"If the person of interest
was, in fact, the suspect,
we needed to apprehend
him ASAP and not wait
until the victim can talk
to us which may take
several days or even in a
worse case, if the victim
was to die, we would
never be able to talk to
him."
And then it was
discovered that the
person allegedly
named by Taylor was in
Mississippi working at
the time of the shooting.
Another name
surfaced, Lewis said,
and Taylor reportedly
decided to tell the truth
about the assailant's
identity.
That evening, the
second person of
interest, Jesse Somerville,
was taken into custody
and transported to the
police department.
When Foster was
notified by officers
on duty, he allegedly
advised them to arrest
him if it was needed and
get a statement from
him.
"The officers knew
nothing about the
specifics of the case and
insisted that Det. Foster
needed to take control of
the suspect and obtain a
statement and interview
Somerville since [he]
was the lead detective on
the case," Lewis said.
When Foster arrived,
he reportedly did not
mirandize Somerville.
Further, Foster
"never interviewed or
attempted to take a
statement in an official
capacity as the lead
investigator of this
felony case," Lewis said.
"Instead, Det. Foster
conducted a very brief
casual conversation
with the suspect, called
the parents of the
suspect and released the
suspect."
Somerville, Foster
said, invoked his right
www.covingtonleader.com
to an attorney before he
could be questioned.
In a Dec. 29 letter
from Hanson in which
Foster was notified that
the termination was
being upheld, the mayor
told the detective that
he found it puzzling
that Somerville's father
would voluntarily
call police to pick him
up, then when Foster
entered the interview
room, Somerville
"immediately shuts
down," denies his
involvement and asks
for a lawyer.
Hanson said during
the appeal hearing,
Foster, who testified that
he knew Somerville's
family, asked Somerville,
"What did you do?" Had
Somerville confessed to
the attempted murder of
LeJarvius Taylor at that
time, it would have been
inadmissable in court as
he had not been advised
of his rights.
Headed to court?
While there have been
talks of Foster filing a
federal lawsuit related
to his termination, only
an Equal Employment
Opportunity complaint
has been filed.
Foster said he's
"been in a lot of mental
anquish" due to the
situation and that he
doesn't think Lewis
"truly understand
the realm of the
investigation," according
to transcripts from the
appeals hearing.
Additionally, he
accused the chief of
"taking me out of
my processes" where
this investigator was
concerned and "trying
different ways to attack
me," which he claimed
was something he'd
dealt with since Lewis
became chief.
Two officers filed
complaints about the
way he investigated
the case and Foster
suggested one of
them is next in line for
investigator.
"He wants the job,
simple as that, to cut it
short," he siad.
Foster's attorney,
Bede Anyanwu, said he
doesn't want to drag the
city into federal court
and that the situation
would expose the city.
Several pieces of the
transcript of the hearing,
where specific details of
the attempted murder
case are discussed, are
redacted, such as the
answer Det. Rodney
McCurry, who was
questioned during the
appeal hearing, gave
when asked if the
name witnesses gave
to identify the shooter
during the investigation
was the same as the
name provided by
Foster.
During Tuesday's
meeting of the Finance
and Adminstration
meeting, city attorneys
T.D. Forrester and
Rachel Gangaware
confirmed to the board
that the proper processes
had been followed in the
termination, Edwards
and Bommer still called
it unfair.
"My concerns are, I
don't want the city to
lose another lawsuit and
I want the employees
to be treated fairly,"
Edwards said. "I don't
think it's right."
Gangaware informed
the board that more
details about Foster's
termination could not
be released publicly as
they were part of an
ongoing investigation
by the state. She told
the aldermen the mayor
used the information
when making his final
decision and that they, as
aldermen, could discuss
those details privately
with the attorney.
Bommer refused,
however.
"I don't want to hear
it," she said, noting
that she was basing her
opinion of the case only
on the facts given to that
point. "I don't want to
find out the details."

SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY
Continued from A1
tions against the enemy in the vicinity
of Camp Mountain Province, Luzon,
Philippines Islands on April 20, 1945,
Sergeant Crittenden was a member of
the chemical mortar platoon, which
was firing in direct support of an assaulting infantry party whose objective
was to seize new ground.
During the advance, a flash back
from a 4.2 inch mortar ignited nearby
powder charges and set fire to the surrounding dry brush.
As the fire gained headway, a large
quantity of abandoned and dud Japanese hand grenades, mortar, small arms
and artillery ammunition was caught in
the rapidly spreading blaze.
The resulting explosion showered
dangerous amounts of exploding ammunition over the mortar platoon. Sergeant Crittenden, without regard for
his own personal safety, and while exposed to flying fragments from the exploding ammunitions, remained at his
mortar until his firing mission had been
effectively accomplished.
Before retreating to safety, he noticed
several rounds of 4.2 inch rounds of
ammunitions in the path of the fire, and
with the aid of two other men, removed
the ammunition to a less vulnerable
spot before evacuating the area.
His courageous conduct was largely
responsible for the successful completion of the firing mission that was of
greatest importance to the assaulting
party. For his selfless actions, Crittenden was awarded the Bronze Star
Medal by direction of President Harry
S. Truman.
“It’s great that we can recognize our
veterans in a way that brings other people in and not just their families,” said
Kathy Desjarlais, the 2015 Chairman
of the Tipton County Veteran Council.

“It’s open to the public and we’re hoping that the younger kids will come and
meet our living history.”
“I’m not worthy,” said Crittenden,
humbled by the recognition program.
“But I feel great!”
Among the many veterans who attended the program, VFW member
Randal Martin was moved by the stories told by Crittenden.
“A lot of guys my age haven’t been
through this,” said Martin. “It’s brings
pride to hear these stories. That generation went through hell.”

Public Notice Week - Jan. 18-24
THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 2015 ▪ A4
FLASHBACK
Public
notices
crucial
By FRANK GIBSON
TPA Public Policy Director
Editor’s note: It’s Public Notice Week Jan. 1824—time to remind citizens of the value of public
notices in representative democratic government.
When governments create or authorize state
and local agencies to create new programs, they
typically require some measure of public disclosure as a form of public oversight and to make
agencies accountable.
As far back as 1789, during the first American Congress, that accountability has come in
the form of public notices in independentlypublished newspapers. Actions of the congress
were ordered to be published in three separate
newspapers to ensure wide circulation.
The concept eventually extended to commerce as a way to protect property interest,
provide due process and consumer protection
from certain business entities – foreclosures,
bankruptcies or unclaimed property, to name a
few.
City councils, county commissions, school
boards and other public bodies are required
to provide special notices of special meetings,
for example, because those notices must list
all items to be discussed. Public notices are
required for public hearings on land zoning
changes, proposed budgets and taxes, certain
ordinances, annexations, and when the government plans to use its ultimate police power
– the use of eminent domain to take private
property.
Public notices are like the third leg of a stool –
with the open records and open meetings laws.
Proposals have been made in Tennessee and
other states to move those disclosure notices
solely to government websites. That would be
tantamount to eliminating public notices as
they have historically been.
As one commentator in Georgia noted on
a similar county commissioners’ association
proposal: “That would take notices out of plain
sight and bury them in the tangle of documents
on government-designated websites.”
Anyone looking for a public notice would
have to know exactly what they are searching
for and when and where to look. Instead of
going to their local newspaper where they have
always gone to see notices, citizens would be
left searching for “a needle in a haystack.”
Public notices need to be made available as
widely as possible. Tennessee newspapers and
the General Assembly smartly went in that
direction last year.
Since April 1, Tennessee newspapers post
every notice printed in the local paper on their
local website and on a statewide, aggregate
website provided by the Tennessee Press Association. Those extra services are included at no
extra cost to the entity placing the notices.
To ensure the notices are easily found, newspapers must link to the notices section from the
website homepage. From there they link to the
statewide website at www.tnpublicnotices.com.
The site is searchable.
The only way to make distribution any wider
would require stuffing notices in every mailbox.
Two primary arguments for changing to websites exclusively -- saving government money
and reports of declining readership of print
newspapers – don’t really hold water.
The touted savings never include the costs of
maintaining a dependable and secure government website, one that can’t be hacked and
where there are no guarantees.
Newspaper critics argue there is “a march toward online news with its immediacy and away
from print news.”
The latest available figures showed that 45
percent of Tennessee households subscribe to
newspapers. That’s a base. When newspaper
website traffic is added, it is easy to see that
many readers migrating from print are migrating to newspaper-run websites. Now they will
find notices in both places, plus 1.
The Aspen Times, a newspaper in Colorado,
compared its website to the site for the combined local city and county governments. The
newspaper site had 4.7 times more monthly
users and 8.5 times more monthly page views

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Employee goes above and beyond
Christopher Diaz, employee at Atoka Auto Zone,
has helped me on MANY occasions when I was clueless about my car needs. This week we took my teen
daughter into the store as she had some issues with
her recently-purchased first car, and not only did
he help us find what we needed quickly, but after
he clocked out for the day he came out in the icy/
snowy weather for 10-15 minutes and helped us put
the parts we purchased on her car (as well as giving
her tips about her car).
We want to make this wonderful employee’s name
known. Not only does he help his customers get the
parts they need, but he goes above and beyond to
really help them without making them feel stupid.
We want to say thank you Christopher Diaz for your
great service to Auto Zone customers.

families, seeking to totally keep

the grandparents’ 529 plan won’t

withdrawals from the plan will be

aid, a much bigger impact, in fact,

Consequently, you might want
to ask the grandparent to award
ownership of the 529 plan to you.
However, some state plans don’t
allow this change, so the grandparent might have to transfer the
money to a different state’s plan
before giving up ownership.
In any case, be aware of these issues when you tackle the FAFSA.
And don’t delay in filling it out.
Colleges have a closing date for
accepting financial aid applications — and that’s one deadline
you won’t want to miss.

Don’t fall for the latest scam
There is a new email scam making the
rounds, and it does not
say that it comes from
Nigeria this time. Be
sure to share with those
who might get confused
so that they do not fall
for it.
I just received mine
via e-mail:
Dear Peel,
I am Barr.Bob Kokou,
My late client Mr. Robert
Peel, who died as a result
of the 11th September
2001 WTC terrorist attack has an unclaim safedeposit (US$10,5 million)
in a Finance Security
Company,whom i believe
is your relative having
beared the same surname..
Contact me with my private email (***) immediately for more details
Thanks and God bless.
Regards,
Attorney Bob Kokou.
(Esq)
If this sounds too
David Peel
Peel Law Firm
good to be true, it is because it is. It is clearly
a scam. Here are some
things I noticed immediately:
1.
It was a personal, rather than a business, e-mail.
2.
It was sent to
multiple undisclosed
recipients, and by only
last name.
3.
It asked to a
reply to different email
address than the sender.
4.
It had no other
contact information that
could be corroborated
like an office phone or
address.
5.
He refers to
himself a “barrister”
which is a foreign word
for lawyer.
6.
The
spelling,
verb tense and coding
of numbers is wrong.
7.
No Robert Peel
died in 9/11. Those lists
are easy to locate.
8.
His name is the
name of a false god.
From, where else, but
Nigeria?!? According to
the folks at Wikipedia,
“In the Yoruba religion
of Benin, a Kokou is
one of the most highly
feared warrior undergods, and it is the most
violent and powerful of
the Yoruba spirits and
the voodoo rituals surrounding it involves its
followers to fall into a
deep trance with rapidly beating drums. Once
possessed by the spirit,
the body in which the
Kokou inhabits may
remain in a trance all
day and in due course
demonstrate a thirst for
blood with glass bottles
and knives, swallow
sharp objects or repeatedly beat its head
against the wall until
it bleeds profusely, revealing a high tolerance
to pain.”
I know you are thinking that this is so clearly
a scam at first blush that
no one will fall for it.
Believe me, these things
work or they would not
go to the trouble.
Mr. Peel seeks justice
for those injured in car
accidents, work place incidents, medical malpractice,
and nursing homes. He
often addresses churches,
clubs and groups without
charge. Mr. Peel may be

themselves, but the truth and
and France seem incapable of
fact of indwelling sin drives men
making such distinctions. Radifurther and further from the only
cal, Jihadist brand Islam is totally
One who can forgive them and
illogical. Its biggest failure is that
in so doing set them free from
it has no forgiveness, none for
the defiling passions that control
the “believer” and none for the
infidel. How small must be one’s
concept of their god to think that
a cartoon printed in an extremely
satirical periodical could actually
harm him.
Freedom is not the natural
outgrowth of any “ism.” It is the
outworking of forgiveness. Until
one has been individually set free
from the burden of his own soul,
he cannot really conceive of others being free. “Isms,” including
both conservatism and liberalism, tend to stifle the opposition.
Those who have been liberated
understand that real liberty means
that others may differ from us.
Others may not believe what we
believe. As a Christian, though
I want all to trust Jesus Christ as
their Savior, I understand that
many will not. Their unbelief in
no way causes me to want to hurt
them. Freedom is a tender thing.
It appears that we may soon have
to expend quite some effort and
manpower to maintain it.
Real freedom, final and
complete, is found only in Christ.
Would you come to Him today
and trust Him? Ask His forgiveness and receive real freedom by
being set free from the burden of
sin.
His life and death was like none other
Jesus was a person like no other.
Joh 1: 1 In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. 14 And the
Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father,) full of grace and truth.
His conception was like no other.
Mt 1:20 But while he thought on
these things, behold, the angel of the
Lord appeared unto him in a dream,
saying, Joseph, thou son of David,
fear not to take unto thee Mary thy
wife: for that which is conceived in
her is of the Holy Ghost. He had the
Spirit in a manner that no other before Him had or after Him will have.
Joh 3:34 For he whom God hath sent
speaketh the words of God: for God
giveth not the Spirit by measure
unto him. Jesus was both 100% divine (deity) and 100% human. Col.
2: 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Yet, in
many ways He was like all of us. He
became one of us. Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to
be made like unto his brethren, that
he might be a merciful and faithful
high priest in things pertaining to
God, to make reconciliation for the
sins of the people. Heb 4:15 For we
have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of
our infirmities; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without
sin. (KJV)
Christ’s death was like no other
before Him or after Him. God is everywhere. We have never been in a
place where God is not. Psalms 139:8
If I ascend to heaven, thou art there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art
there! (RSV) (Sheol- Hades or the
world of the dead (as if a subterranean retreat), including its accessories and inmates:- -grave, hell, pit.
Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary) (See
the story of Lazarus- Luke 16:19-31).
The New Testament calls Sheol, Hades. It is where the dead go to await
the resurrection.
In speaking of
Christ, Peter said, “For thou wilt not
abandon my soul to Hades, nor let
thy Holy One see corruption.” (Acts
2:27) (RSV). Peter quotes Ps 16:10 in
reference to Christ, proving that His
soul would not remain in the place
of the departed nor His body suffer
decay. However there is one place
by His choice where God is not and
that is hell (Greek- geenna, see Mat.
5:22). Mt 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
How is Christ’s death like no other? Christ’s death is the most terrible
and at the same time the most wonderful event that could ever happen.
Terrible in that deity had to die for
mankind. The sacred sinless Savior
had to die for you and me. There
was no other way. Heb. 10: 4 For it
is not possible that the blood of bulls
and of goats should take away sins.
5 Wherefore when he cometh into
the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body
hast thou prepared me: 6 In burnt
offerings and sacrifices for sin thou
hast had no pleasure. 7 ¶ Then said
I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the
book it is written of me,) to do thy
will, O God. 8 Above when he said,
Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou
wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure
therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy
will, O God. He taketh away the first,
that he may establish the second. 10
By the which will we are sanctified
through the offering of the body of
Jesus Christ once for all. His death
is wonderful in that Deity chose to
die for mankind. John 3; 16 For God
so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life. Rom. 5: 7
For scarcely for a righteous man will
one die: yet peradventure for a good
man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.
Again, how is Christ’s death like
no other? For this terrible, wonderful event to occur, God had to do
something He has never before or
since done. Death is something that
all dread, yet David took consolation
in the fact that God would be with
him. Ps 23; 4 Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me. But how about the
Lord’s death?
Why did Christ fear death? We
fear the unknown. Maybe the biggest reason we dread death is the
fear of the unknown. But this would
not be Christ’s concern for He knew
all. He knew what lies behind that
curtain we call death. Death was His
means back to the Father. He knew
that death is all that stood between
Him and heaven. Crucifixion is one
of the cruelest deaths ever devised
by mankind. No doubt this was a
cause for His fear of death but I suggest to you that this did not scratch
the surface of the reason He feared
death. Many before Him and since
Him have been crucified but His
death was like no other.
Why then did He dread death?
Matthew vividly describes His anxiety of death. Mt 26: 38 Then saith
he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye
here, and watch with me. 39 And
he went a little further, and fell on
his face, and prayed, saying, O my
Father, if it be possible, let this cup
pass from me: nevertheless not as
I will, but as thou wilt. 40 And he
cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with
me one hour? 41 Watch and pray,
that ye enter not into temptation: the
spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh
is weak. 42 He went away again the
second time, and prayed, saying, O
my Father, if this cup may not pass
away from me, except I drink it,
thy will be done. 43 And he came
and found them asleep again: for
their eyes were heavy. 44 And he
left them, and went away again, and
prayed the third time, saying the
same words.
Christ’s words on the cross tell
how His death was like no other and
why He feared it so much. Both the
Father and the Son have coexisted
together forever. To appease the
justice of God and for man to be reconciled to God, one of the godhead
had to die and that was Jesus. 2Co
5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto
them; and hath committed unto us
the word of reconciliation. For that
to happen, God had to do something
that was never done before nor will
ever be repeated. The Father had
to forsake His Son. At the cross, the
Father and the Son were separated
for the first and only time in all of
eternity. The Father had to turn His
back on His Son, His only begotten
Son, the perfect sinless one. Mat 27:
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus
cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli,
Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say,
My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me? 47 Some of them that
stood there, when they heard that,
said, This man calleth for Elias. 48
And straightway one of them ran,
and took a spunge, and filled it
with vinegar, and put it on a reed,
and gave him to drink. 49 The rest
said, Let be, let us see whether Elias
will come to save him. 50 ¶ Jesus,
when he had cried again with a loud
voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And,
behold, the veil of the temple was
rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and
the rocks rent; 52 And the graves
were opened; and many bodies of
the saints which slept arose,
53
And came out of the graves after his
resurrection, and went into the holy
city, and appeared unto many. 54
Now when the centurion, and they
that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those
things that were done, they feared
greatly, saying, Truly this was the
Son of God.
The Son willfully experienced
something that we do not have tobeing forsaken by God. The very
thought of it shook Christ to the core
of His Spirit. Christ willingly experienced in His death the abandonment
(forsaking) of God so that we will not
have to experience being forsaken,
the second death, for an eternity. Re
21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving,
and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimstone: which is the
second death. There was no other
option for Christ if we were to have
hope. If we are forsaken of God, it
will be of our own doing and in spite
of the one whose death was like no
other.

State officials announce 2014 fatality figures
Tennessee Department of Safety and
Homeland Security Commissioner
Bill Gibbons and Department of
Transportation Commissioner
John Schroer today announced the
preliminary number of traffic fatalities
in Tennessee last year and the state’s
strategic highway safety plan for 2015.
The 2014 traffic fatality numbers
include vehicular deaths reported
by all Tennessee law enforcement
agencies.
Early figures indicate there were
961 vehicular deaths on Tennessee
roadways in 2014. That’s the second
lowest traffic fatality number since
1963 and the fifth time traffic deaths
have dipped below 1,000 since that
year.
The 2014 traffic fatality figure also
represents a 3.4 percent decrease in
the number of traffic-related deaths in
Tennessee compared to the 995 traffic
fatalities in 2013.
“Commissioner Schroer and
I have a shared goal to make an
impact on traffic fatalities in our
state,” Commissioner Gibbons said.
“Tennessee has experienced record low
numbers in three of the last four years;
and we hope to continue that trend in
the future. We’ll continue to deploy
our resources to help reduce fatal
crashes across the state,” he added.
Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP)
Colonel Tracy Trott credited DUI and
seat belt enforcement for the decline
in traffic-related deaths. State troopers
arrested nearly 2,000 more individuals
on suspicion of DUI in 2014, compared
to 2013.
Subsequently, there was an 18.6
percent drop in alcohol-related
traffic fatalities from 2013 to 2014 in
Tennessee.
THP personnel also have
experienced a 149 percent increase in
the number of DUI arrests since 2010.
“I know that our traffic enforcement
efforts are making a difference in
Tennessee,” Colonel Trott said. “Those
numbers are not by accident; they
are by design. We’ve placed a greater
emphasis on removing impaired
drivers from our roadways in the
last few years and the traffic fatality
figures are a result of those efforts.”
Seat belt and child restraint device
education and enforcement efforts
were also a priority for the THP.
Tennessee state troopers issued
102,758 seat belt citations in 2014,
approximately 28,000 more than the
74,277 citations handed out in 2013.
That represents a 225 percent increase
in seat belt citations since 2010.
“Unrestrained motorists still
accounted for 50 percent of vehicle
occupants killed in 2014,” Trott said.
“Seat belts save lives. We have to
change driver behavior in order to
make a difference there.”
Other contributing factors in fatal
crashes included speed and distracted
driving, with 132 and 41 deaths,
respectively.
“We’ve made vast improvements
in all areas of traffic safety; however,
we have much more to accomplish
and hope to see even better results in
2015,” Commissioner Gibbons said.
TDOT Commissioner Schroer
presented the department’s plan to
improve highway safety in 2015.
The Strategic Highway Safety
Plan, Tennessee’s comprehensive
transportation safety strategy, was first
developed in 2004.
The latest plan adopts a “Toward
Zero Deaths” vision statement, which
is a national strategy to improve
highway safety. The plan’s primary
goal is to reduce the number and rate
of fatalities by 10 percent within the
next five years.
“Reducing the number of
fatalities by 10 percent is a realistic,
but challenging goal,” TDOT
Commissioner John Schroer said.
“By designing safer roads, using data
driven enforcement and educating
drivers, we can make drastic
improvements and save hundreds of
lives.”
The Strategic Highway Safety Plan
addresses emphasis areas utilizing the
“Four E’s of Transportation Safety”:
engineering, enforcement, education,
and emergency response.
Strategic Highway Safety Plan
emphasis areas include:
• data collection and analysis
• driver behavior
• infrastructure improvements
• vulnerable road users
• operational improvements

Education
Board approves Common Core repeal request
By JORDAN MOOSE
[email protected]
The Tipton County School Board has written a resolution to repeal Common Core State Standards in Tennessee.
The resolution was sent to Governor Bill Haslam
and state education officials after being approved by
the board in a 6-2 vote this month.
“The [current] standards are indeed common, but
sub par. They were hastily written by special interest
groups, not educators, for the purpose of satisfying
their own agendas, rather than for the good of our
children.” said school board member, Farrel Vincent.
“I think we, in Tennessee, can do better and so do a
majority of our state’s educators,” Vincent added.
The resolution calls for Tennessee educators and
community members to be involved in developing a
set of new “transparent” standards and aligned assessments that encourage students to think critically
and creatively. These standards will prepare students
for “college, careers or the military and allow them to
compete academically and vocationally on a national
level.”
Also, the resolution strives to strengthen local control over education, a popular issue with Common
Core.
Board member Marty Haywood voted against the
proposal at this month’s meeting.
“The resolution was regarding authorship of the
standards and did not address the benefit or negative
impact of the actual requirements on our education
system,” Haywood said. “My concern is aligned with
the on-going use of our children’s education as a political subject.”
Haywood supports the board regardless of his personal opinion.
" While I may have my individual approach to the
subject, we make School Board Decisions based on
the full board and those decisions are reflected in the
passing of the Resolution," he said.
Academic standards are normally reviewed every
six years, however given the controversy surrounding the Common Core State Standards adopted in
2010, this particular set will be reviewed sooner.
The governor asks that citizens share their opinions
of Common Core at https://apps.tn.gov/tcas/.
Governor Haslam’s panel will consider citizens’
input and report on the resolution at the end of the
year.
Holocaust survivors respond to MHS students
By JORDAN MOOSE
[email protected]
Students in MJ Houston’s tenth grade English class
at Munford High School recently received letters from
Holocaust survivors in response to a class project.
“I always try to find subjects that interest my students,” said Houston. “I have found that making stories personal, putting a face with the words, has the
effect that I am looking for.”
After reading Night, by Elie Wiesel, each student researched transcripts from the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum and selected one with which they
connected. Students then wrote letters to a survivor
of their choice.
The assignment required that the students introduce themselves, write about something their chosen
survivor experienced and compare that experience to
a modern event.
Some students found the topic too emotional to
comprehend.
“This is what happened today; 12 people were shot.
It’s terrible, but it can never compare,” said sophomore Robert Akers.
Other students, like Lexy Tapley, were able to draw
parallels between the survivors and their personal
lives.
Tapley wrote to Esther Starobin. Like Starobin,
Tapley’s two sisters were adopted at age two. The
girls do not know their biological parents.
Starobin wrote, “When my own children were two
years old, I tried to imagine the strength it must have
taken for my parents to send four of their five children
to safety. I don’t know if I could have let my children
go to a strange country.”
The survivor also wrote about Tapley’s sisters,
“Your sisters’ story is different, but much the same.
They are lucky to have been adopted into a loving
family.”
Responding to another letter from Houston’s class
was Fritz Gluckstein.
“It is easy to look away when we see evil in the
world, but if good people do nothing, evil wins,”
Munford Hugh School students, Austin Perry and Lexy Tapley, hold personal letters written to them by Holocaust survivors.

wrote Gluckstein.
Gluckstein sent an autographed copy of his book,
Geltungsjude, to sophomore Austin Perry in addition
to his letter.
The assignment provided the students with more
than an academic lesson.
“Morally, they learned how to empathize with
School Board appreciation Jan. 25-31
Tipton County - Governor Haslam has declared
Jan. 25-31, 2015 as School Board Appreciation Week
in Tennessee. This week helps build awareness and
understanding of the vital functions our locally
elected boards of education play in our community.
The Tipton County school system is joining other
public school systems from across the state to celebrate School Board Appreciation Week and honor
local board members for their commitment to Tipton
County and its children.
“Our school system is the backbone of our community, and these men and women devote countless
hours to making sure our schools are helping every
child,” Dr. William E. Bibb said. “They spend countless hours studying the issues and regulations and
make the tough decisions when called upon to ensure
the type of accountability people expect.”
Bibb said the key work of school bo“Our local
school board gives the Tipton County citizens a voice
in education decision making process. Their contribu-
tion is a year-round commitment.”
The members serving our system (and their years
of service as of the end of this year) are as follow:
District 1 - Thomas Taylor (13) - Vice Chairman;
District 2 - Steve Clark (1);District 3 - Marty Burlison
(22) - Chairman; District 4 - Grant Shipley, Jr. (5); District 5 - Farrel Vincent (3); District 6 - Richard Joyner
(5); District 7 - Alvis Ferrell (6); District 8 - Marty
Haywood (13); District 9 - Wanda "Kay" Scott (3).
someone else’s plight. They learned the importance
of speaking up for injustices and protecting those
around them,” Houston said.
MeKayla Brown summarized what she had been
taught, “We need to compare everyone as humans.
We aren’t different.”
Letters continue to come to the students.

CORRESPONDENCE
The Civil War and Tipton County
By RUSSELL BAILEY
Tipton County Historian
FORREST'S SECOND WEST
TENNESSEE RAID
DECEMBER 1863
COMBAT AT ESTENAULA!
(Continued from last week)
Correction: Last week’s article made reference to the son of Col. John S. Miller who
moved to Covington; it was his grandson,
Robert P. Miller (1877-1943) who was a
farmer and hardware merchant here.
The officers of Brig. General Robert
V. Richardson’s Brigade had been sent
throughout West Tennessee recruiting
and collecting absentee soldiers during November and December of 1863.
Their deadline to meet Richardson at
Brownsville with their soldiers and
recruits was set for Jan. 1, 1864. The
various columns of Federals marching
on Jackson and Brownsville caused
Gen. N. B. Forrest to begin evacuation
for North Mississippi Dec. 22.
Richardson dispatched riders to his
various commanders with new orders
to converge on Estenaula immediately
with their soldiers. (Because of the sudden evacuation, many of Richardson’s
men were left in Tennessee, some never
marching south.)
By noon of Dec. 24, 1863, nearly all
of the regiments and battalion of
Richardson’s West Tennessee Brigade
had reached Estenaula although not all
had crossed over to the south side. (On
Dec. 2, with less than 300 men,
Richardson had entered West Tennessee
with Gen. Forrest. Twenty-two days
later, at Colonel John S. Miller’s farm,
Richardson’s West Tennessee Brigade
numbered nearly 1,300 men. His officers had successfully collected between
750 and 1,000 conscripts, volunteers
and absentees during the previous
three weeks.)
Richardson’s Brigade encamped at
Miller’s farm Dec. 24 was composed
of:
•12th Tennessee, Lieut. Colonel John
U. Green of Covington, about 250 men
(many from Tipton County).
•13th (later 14th) Regiment, Colonel
J. J. Neely, about 250 men, (Neely’s men
had been in camp in Madison County
at one of the Fuller farms before moving to John Greer’s farm west of
Denmark.)
•14th (later 15th) Tennessee Cavalry,
Colonel Francis M. Stewart, 320 men
(encamped at Denmark on Dec. 22)
•17th Tennessee, Colonel John W.
Marshall, about 250 men (According to
Major John H. Hicks of Wesley,
Haywood County, he, Marshall and
Lieut. Colonel Hugh D. Greer with
their regiment was camped at Greer’s
farm.)
•18th Tenn. Battalion, Major Geo. W.
Bennett, approximately 100 men; met
Richardson at Estenaula with a fragment of his battalion from Gibson
County. Bennett’s men were probably
the last to cross the river at Estenaula.
•20th Tenn. Battalion, Major Solomon
G. Street
(less than 100 men,
Mississippians.)
Colonel Thomas H. Logwood’s 16th
Tennessee Cavalry was not at Estenaula;
his men were dispersed over Fayette,
Shelby, and Tipton Counties. (Men
from Tipton were serving in Logwood’s
Regiment, Company I, under Captain
John E. Sullivan and Lieut. John L.
Haynie. (Logwood later wrote that he
brought out of West Tennessee about
300 men.)
Gen. Richardson with his armed men
were posted in front of Colonel John S.
Miller’s farmhouse northeast of Cedar
Chapel and four miles from Estenaula.
Neely’s Regiment was deployed as
pickets. Richardson’s unarmed men,
numbering nearly 800 men under the
command of Colonel Francis M.
Stewart, were crossing to the south
side of the Hatchie. It was 1 p.m., Dec.
24 when scouts reported Federal cavalry coming from the direction of
Whiteville.
Captain V. B. Waddell, commanding
Richardson’s pickets wrote:
“About the time our command finished
crossing, we were attacked by a superior
force of the enemy but we succeeded in
driving him back. The fact that but few
men were armed caused some dissatisfaction among the troops and a number fled to
the woods and were left behind.”
Richardson’s rebels were attacked by
Colonel Edward Prince and 600 veteran troopers of the 7th Illinois Cavalry.
Prince had moved north from Lagrange
to Bolivar with orders to destroy any
ferry boats, bridges, etc over the Hatchie
“following that stream westward
toward the Mississippi.” (This would
prevent Forrest’s men from crossing
the Hatchie southwest of Jackson.)
Continued next week.

Hi Everyone,
My what a difference a day
of sunshine makes, especially
a full week of it. I was going
to get outside Saturday and do
some raking of leaves, but the
wind was by far too strong.
My precious dog, Harly, has
really enjoyed being outside
and running. Even my little
Addie has been out on her
four-wheeler.
All the grandsons have been
hunting of course. They were
even hunting when the temperature was down to 8
degrees. My grandson, Luke
Scott, just returned this week
from snow skiing in Colorado.
He went with his girlfriend,
Caroline Davis, and her family.
I understand being there for
the first time, they were
instructed they must take lessons. I sure am glad they did.
Can’t wait to hear their stories.
My friend Mr. Bill and I went
to see the movie “Unbroken.” I
cannot say Bill or I really
enjoyed it. Being a true story of
World War ll, it was so heartbreaking. I could not bear to
watch it after the first hour. We
stayed a little longer, but it did
not let up. Being a movie of
two hours and more, I asked to
leave and he agreed. If you
have younger children please
do not take them to see this
story. Maybe older boys could
handle the severe two hours of
torture. I have always made a
habit of thanking our veterans
while in the public but now I’ll
have a much deeper understanding of the prisoners lives
and what they truly experienced. Never want to forget it,
but viewing it for so long will
drive you crazy. Many men
could probably appreciate it.
Oh well, it may be better to
stay home and watch John
Wayne.
will celebrate 50 years at our
reunion Labor Day weekend,
Sept. 4-5, in Millington. All
classes ’55-’71 from Ellis will
be featured with the class of
1965 as the host for the event.
For more information, contacts
are Jesse and Gwen Cooke
(901) 649-3940 and Darsay
Burton (901) 644-5886.
Our prayers are with several
families at this time, especially
the Nabors family of Munford,
on the recent passing of their
brother, Jimmy Nabors, whose
service was Jan. 17 at Greater
St. John Baptist Church with
Pastor T.J. Lewis.
Theau Alston is a patient at
Methodist North. Let’s keep
him in our prayers and in our
hearts, along with my friend
Bobbie Bennett of Memphis,
who is also at Methodist
North.
Others on the prayer list are
Salem Presbyterian Church
Worship is at 11 a.m. Rev.
Charles Todd is the minister.
The Senior High Youth will
meet at the Manse this Sunday
night at 5:30 p.m. for supper
and a Bible study.
Officer training Seminar: Jan.
24 at Providence Reformed
ARP Church in Bartlett. Please
give Mr. Todd your name if
you are planning to attend.
Our group will leave the
church at 9 a.m. Saturday
morning.
“Dear Salem Church,
Thank you so much for my
generous Christmas check. it
means so much to me to have a
church family who will allow
me to use my gifts. Thanks
again, Elisabeth Baum.”
Memorials to Cemetary
Fund: In Memory of Ted
Wilson and Mary Sanders.
Sharon Presbyterian Church,
We welcome all members,
friends and visitors to the fellowship of Sharon. Hope you
will be able to be here as often
as possible. Our prayer list

Kimberly Bascomb, Gayle
Hulsey, Mary Kirk, Lorrie
Martin, Martha McQuiston,
Edgar Moses, Danny Salmon,
and Marvin Turnage.
Open Door Baptist Church,
Our pastor is Donald K.
Tabb. Worship is at 11 a.m. and
6 p.m. on Sunday and 7 p.m.
on Wednesday. Everyone is
welcome. We are located one
mile east of Hwy. 14, at the
corner of Dunlap Orphanage
and Beaver Creek Rd. Nursery
is available. Church phone
number is 901-461-5762. Visit
our web site at www.opendoorbaptisttipton.org.
We are presently worshiping
in the Sharon Church building,
however we now are considering building our own church
building if we could locate an
acre or two, with road frontage, in the Almyra community.
Anyone that might read this
and possibly knows another
individual who might be interested in selling any property
for this purpose, please call
Pastor Tabb at 901-461-5762.
Thank you very much!
In closing, we extend our
sympathy to the Dunaway
family here in Almyra in the
loss of Mr. Shorty Dunaway.
To the rest, hope your week is
a good one and hope we can
all get many things accomplished during these warmer
and sunny days, before winter
starts again.
Have a great week.

Monday of last week was a very
sad day. James “Shorty” Dunaway
passed away suddenly while getting ready for a doctor’s appointment that morning. Then Gene
Brown, father of Debbie Otts, had
another of the episodes he’d been
having and passed away that
night.
These families are in our prayers
for their great losses. Shorty had a
big crowd attend the meal celebrating his life at the Covington Church
of Christ Wednesday. I hear all the
tables were full of fellow firemen,
family and friends.
Danielle Schlauch and I went to
Jackson Wednesday for the
Tennessee Area Conservation
Districts Winter Meeting, which
we hosted. Congratulations to Kirk
Daniel for being our area Director
now, replacing me, as my term has
ended. It was a good meeting,
good meal of barbeque and chicken and a good visit with my dad,
Kenneth Weir. Thanks to Danielle
for the ride, and all the work she
put into the meeting.
Mr. Gene’s funeral was Thursday.
James, Elizabeth and I attended.
Lots of folks were there to support
Mrs. Loreda, Debbie and all the
family. The congregational singing
was great.
Jerry Melton, Joyce Scott, Paulette
Watkins, Jimmy Weir, Dale Laxton,
John Dickey and so many more are
on our prayer list, along with all
those taking treatments and all our
servicemen and women.

Six inducted into Hall of Fame
The Covington Parks and Recreation Department has announced
that six more people will be inducted
into the Tipton County Sports Hall of
Fame.
The six will be recognized at a ceremony on Jan. 27 during the regular
meeting of the Covington Board of
Mayor and Aldermen. A plaque will
be placed in their honor.
“There were many outstanding candidates for this year’s group,” stated
Covington Parks & Recreation Director Amy Payne.
The six inductees are Dan Bland,
Don Chandler, Ricky Fayne, Ken McCool, Chic Nute and William Simonton. Chandler and Simonton will be
recognized posthumously.
These six, said Payne, had illustrious careers in baseball, basketball,
football, track and/or on the whistle
side of the sports world.
Per the guidelines of the Sports Hall
of Fame, each of these inductees will
have a vote in deciding future nominees.
The list of names to be considered
this year doubled from the inaugural
2013 class.
“I can’t think of one person on
that list who is not deserving of this
honor,” said Richard Vandergrift, athletic coordinator for Covington Parks
and Recreation and a member of the
organizing committee. “Voting was
extremely close. Only one from the
overall list of 22 people was a unanimous selection. All of those whose
names were submitted remain on the
ballot for future consideration. And,
we know of others in this county who
are worthy of at least consideration.”
Per the established guidelines for
the Hall of Fame, nominees must
receive 75 percent of the vote.
In addition to the six new inductees,
the organizing committee also voted
to recognize the 1956-57 Byars-Hall
High School football team.
That group of young men went
unbeaten, untied and claimed the Big
10 championship.
Some information concerning each
inductee follows:
DAN BLAND: Graduated from
Byars-Hall High School in 1962. He
participated in all four sports, lettering three years in football, four in
basketball and baseball and two in
track. In football, Bland was an allpurpose player who played running
back, safety, punter, kicker and return

man. During his high school football
career, he was selected to the All-Big
Ten first team as a junior and senior;
second team All-West Tennessee his
senior hear and Honorable Mention
All-State as a senior. In basketball,
Bland was selected to the All-District
team as a senior.
After graduation, he was offered
an athletic scholarship to Vanderbilt,
Kentucky and Mississippi State and
was nominated for an appointment to
the Air Force Academy. He accepted
the offer from Mississippi State and
became a two way star as a running
back and defensive back. He was also
a record setter as a kick return specialist.
He was a three year letterman,
captain of the 1965-66 team and led

Cougars finding their way
Slower pace leading to more victories for MHS
By JEFF IRELAND
[email protected]
Asking high school basketball
players to slow things down, quit
shooting so much and play energetic defense for four quarters can
be a challenge.
Most players like to run up and
down the court and score.
It took a while for Munford head
coach Butch Hopkins to convince
his players that a slower pace was
the best course of action considering the roster’s lack of size and experience.
But the message seems to have
finally sunk in.
Munford beat Memphis Home
Education Association 48-37 at
home Friday night for its third
straight win.
The defense held MHEA to just
two points in the first quarter and
eight in the first half. Meanwhile,
the offense was patient and scored
mosts of its points after passing the
ball around for 30 to 45 seconds.
“Early in the season, our kids really didn’t buy in,” said Hopkins.
“They thought they could just run
up and down the floor and shoot it.
I told them, but they didn’t want to
listen. But after three or four 30- or
40-point losses, they decided they
might want to listen. And when
they did, we started playing people close. All of sudden they said,
‘Coach, if we do what you want us
to do, we have a chance to win.’ I
said, ‘I appreciate that.’”
Munford (6-16) fell behind 2-0
early, but answered with a 16-0 that
extended into the second quarter.
Queyon Mills and Nigel Jones
each hit 3-pointers and all five starters scored during the run. MHEA
didn’t get its second field goal of
the game until the 3:45 mark of the
second quarter.
MHEA’s Nathan Spencer hit
three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to pull his team within seven
points with 2:23 left to go, but Munford did not allow MHEA to get
any closer.
Mills scored six points in the third
quarter and led Munford with 14
points and Jones added 10. Dominique Bell hit 6 of 8 free throws in the
fourth quarter to help seal the win
and Deon Bank scored five of his
seven points in the fourth quarter.
Rashaan Benson led MHEA with
21 points.
“The major thing we wanted to
do was control the tempo and make
it a half court game,” Hopkins said.
“The one thing we’ve really been
working on is half court defense,
and we’ve been doing that really
well. I know we hold the ball, but
we’ve been playing good defense.
Our defense was just superb.”
Despite Munford’s early-season
struggles, the Cougars still have a
chance at least tie for the regular
season district title. The Cougars
(2-1 in District 13-AAA) would
pull into a tie with first place Dyer
County with a win over the Choctaws Friday night in Munford.
Dyer County beat Munford 54-40
last month in Newbern.
Brighton rallied from a 16-point halftime deficit
Tuesday night in Newbern against Dyer County,
the but the first place Choctaws had too much
firepower down the stretch and won the District
13-AAA game 68-56.
The Cardinals (9-13 overall, 1-2 district) trailed
32-16 at halftime after Dyer County (17-3, 2-0) finished the second quarter on a 9-0 run.
Brighton cut the lead to 10 by the end of the
third quarter, but foul trouble finally caught up
with the Cardinals.
“Our guys competed in spite of the adversity
of playing in foul trouble,” Brighton coach Stan
Gatlin said.
Kolton Childress led Brighton with 20 points
and 14 rebounds and Terrelwayne White added
18 points and seven boards.
Ethan Bell came off the bench to hit three
3-pointers and give Brighton a spark.
“We have been waiting for him to step up and
show his ability in the game,” Gatlin said. “I really love this group. The future is bright and it
appears that we could peak at the right time for
the postseason. We just have to stay true to our
system and each other.”
DeAundre Gilton led Dyer County with 20
points.
The Cardinals return to action tomorrow night
at district foe Hardin County.

By JEFF IRELAND

Covington native Anthony Campbell continued his pursuit of a berth
on the 2016 Olympic boxing team
with a fight Saturday in Argentina.
Campbell, a former member of the
Covington Boxing Club who still
trains there, knocked out Argentine
boxer Kevin Caceres in the first round
of a World of Series of Boxing bout.
His win was part of a 9-1 rout of the
team from Argentina.
“Coach Jim Humphrey and I have
coached this kid since he was 10 years
old and have never seen him this focused,” Covington Boxing Club coach
Jimmy Glover said.
“When he is not on the road, he is
in the gym with us working as hard
as he can. This is what it takes to win
at this level. His goal and ours is to
make the Olympic team.”
Campbell will be back in action Jan.
31 in Miami as the American team
takes on Switzerland in an internatinal match.
The Covington Boxing Club will be
in action this Saturday in Wynn, Ark.
About 10 local boxers are expected to
make the trip.

Coach not happy with MHS’s effort
By JEFF IRELAND
[email protected]
It was pretty obvious during the Lady Cougars' home
basketball game against Memphis Home Education Association Tuesday night that Munford head coach Steve
Poindexter was not happy with his team's effort.
Poindexter shook his head and tried to motivate his
players as MHEA hit eight 3-pointers in the first half,
jumped out to a 15-point lead and cruised to a 65-43 win
that snapped a four-game Munford winning streak.
MHEA is no slouch. The team has two players already
signed to play at the next level, is 23-4 and ranked nationally among home schools.
But Poindexter wasn't in the mood to talk about
MHEA, a team that Munford was competitive with during a six-point loss in the season opener.
“We played 32 minutes with a loser's mentality,”
Poindexter said. “You have no chance to win. It's nothing
about not knowing their personnel or knowing what they
do. Just an all-out lack of focus and lack of effort from the
beginning of the game.”
Munford (15-7) cut the lead to 13 briefly midway
through the third quarter and Kierra Richardson hit a
3-pointer and scored six points in the period, but the
deficit hit 20 by the end of the period.
Four different MHEA players hit 3-pointers in the first
quarter as Munford fell behind 18-7.
“When you're going to allow a team to do exactly what
they want to do for the entire first half, that's what happens,” Poindexter said “I think they made eight threes in
the first half and none of them were contested. We just let
them stand there and shoot.”
Freshman Gabby Crawford led Munford with 14
points, 12 of which came in the fourth quarter. Richardson finished with nine points and Phenecia Howard had
eight. Janice Crum led MHEA with 15 points. Bailey
Wilkes, a Union signee, added 12.
Munford will need to rebound quickly. The Lady
Cougars host undefeated Dyer County tomorrow night
in a key District 13-AAA game. A win would tie the Lady
Choctaws atop the league standings.
Dyer County beat Munford 53-50 in overtime last
month.
“The bad thing about it is this is the time of year when
you should be playing your best,” Poindexter said. “Like
I said, 32 minutes with a loser's mentality is going to get
you sent home real quick come tournament time. It will
be interesting to see how they respond because time is
running out.”
Covington lights it up in win over JCM
By STEVE HOLT
[email protected]
Covington hit the century mark for
the first time this season Friday night
in Jackson, downing Jackson CentralMerry 100-74.
Five Chargers posted double figure
games, headed by Malcolm Taylor’s
game-high 22. Bobby Shanks turned
in a 20-point performance. Jalen Claybon kicked in 13, Kaleb Estes 12 and
Ish Jones a season- and career-high
11.
Covington still struggled from the
free throw line, making 19 of 31 at-
tempts. JCM hit just 4 of 10 from the
stripe.
The Charger winning streak reached
seven with a hard-fought 78-70 victory over Liberty Tech on Tuesday.
Covington (15-8 overall, 4-1 district) led wire-to-wire but had to fight
off a determined Liberty effort. The
Crusaders (6-13, 1-4) rained 3-pointers, making eight in the game to an
uncharacteristic two for Covington.
Malcolm Taylor scored six points in
the first half, sitting for much of the
time saddled with two early fouls. He
made up for it in the second half, scoring 16 of CHS’ 19 points in the third
period en route to a game-high 29.
Reggie Holmes had a season-high
16 points, eight of those in the first
period. Kalan Johnson an D.J. Bond
had 16 each for Liberty. Ashton Willis had 10, all in the fourth quarter,
where Liberty outscored the Chargers
28-24. Liberty shot 6 for 10 at the free
throw line. Covington connected on
25 of 37 attempts. CHS had a season
low seven turnovers while forcing the
Crusaders into 18 giveaways.
CHS hosts district leader Haywood,
which is ranked third in the sate, tomorrow night. Jackson North Side

Crestview wraps season with title, perfect record
By STEVE HOLT
[email protected]
The Crestview Middle School “B”
teams achieved complete success for
the 2014-15 season on Saturday, remaining unbeaten at 10-0 with championship hardware in hand.
The CMS Chargers advanced to the
championship round via a forfeit by
Haywood Middle. The championship
tilt pitted CMS against the Brighton
Middle Cardinals. CMS prevailed 6336.
LaCambrian Griggs was top scorer
with 11 points for CMS. Myles Stark
and Trevonte Powell each added 10,
Noah walls had nine, Josh McGarity
seven and Brandon Austin four. Tory
Bradley, Davonte Smith Malik Turner
and Tyrone Hayden each scored three
and Setricus Hall scored a point.
On the girls' side, the Lady Chargers sneaked by Munford 18-16 in the
semifinal. Kalynn Howard’s 10-foot
jumper from the baseline sealed the
win with under five seconds remaining.
She topped the scoring with 10
points. Da’Niyasia Robinson had
eight, Kalynn Howard seven and
Kayla Davis three.
The championship matched number one seed CMS with second-seeded
Brighton Middle.
CMS took the win 23-17, but had to
come from behind in the final minute
to claim the crown. Brinley Cousar,
who finished with four points, drained
a baseline jumper to tie the game with
45 seconds remaining.
Robinson got all six of her points
in the final minute, including 2 of 4
at the foul line. Howard pitched in
seven, Felia Fayne three, Janile Alston
two and Davis one.
Brighton’s Andi Coulston led all
scorers with nine. Lexie Griffin tallied
four and Albanie Dunn and Jamison
McIntyre had two each for Brighton.
Memphis Bass
Pro will open
at Pyramid in
four months
David Hagel has been named store
manager for the new Bass Pro Shops at
the Pyramid store, which opens May 1
in Memphis, Tennessee. Hagel has been
the store manager for the Bass Pro Shops
Sportsman’s Warehouse store located on
Macon Road in Memphis for the past 12
years.
“Growing up in this area, I know that
residents and visitors alike have dreamed
of standing at the top of the Memphis
Pyramid,” said Hagel. “I am absolutely
thrilled to be part of the team making this
dream come true.”
Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro
Shops, has said the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid store is “one of the most dynamic,
immersive retail destination stores in the
world.” At 535,000 square feet, it will be
one of the largest retail stores in the world
under one roof, and one of the company’s
largest investments to date.
In addition to vast assortments of outdoor gear, the new mega store will feature
many diverse, unique features including
an interactive national Waterfowling Heritage Center in partnership with Ducks
Unlimited; the popular Uncle Buck’s
Fishbowl and Grill; Big Cypress Lodge—
a 100-room grand hotel; 600,000 gallons
of water features; a cypress swamp with
100-foot-tall trees; and the largest freestanding elevator in America—25 stories
and open all four sides.
“For the first time, the public will be
able to travel up 300 feet to the apex of
the Pyramid, stand on cantilevering
glass-floored outdoor observation decks,
and take in sprawling riverfront views,”
said Hagel. “It’s the little things done
right that add up to big rewards and excitement.”
Hagel went on to say that the Bass Pro
Shops at the Pyramid store will offer
fishing, boating, camping, hiking, and
hunting gear, and the largest assortment
of waterfowl and related hunting equipment ever assembled.
“It makes sense for waterfowling to
play a huge role in our store’s features
since we’re situated on the Mississippi
Flyway,” said Hagel.

RICKY FAYNE SR.:
Fayne layed basketball at
Brighton High School, earning All-District, All-Region
and Honorable Mention
All-State honors in 1971-72.
As a two-year starter he
averaged over 20 points a
game and, upon graduation, was one of the school’s
all-time leading scorers.
He entered Memphis
State University in 1972.
Though not recruited, he
went out for the basketball
team, earning a spot on the
roster as a walk-on. Though
freshmen were not allowed
to play back in those days
on the varsity team, he was
on the bench in St. Louis
when the Tigers played
UCLA for the national title
in 1973. As a junior varsity
member, Fayne averaged
12.5 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. He gave
up college basketball in
1974 when a new coach was
introduced.
He graduated in 1976
and began a teaching and
coaching career in Tipton County with stops at
Brighton Middle, Munford
Middle and Munford High
schools. He coached both
boys and girls at Brighton
where his teams won district, regional and sectional
honors. His 1979-80 boys
team had a 31-1 record.
Fayne moved from
coaching to officiating
starting in 1985 where
he became a basketball
referee and softball umpire
in the Tennessee Secondary
School Athletic Association.
While continuing with his
love of sports, he was also
moving up the ladder in
the school system, moving
from teacher/coach to assistant principal, principal,
supervisor, assistant superintendent to finally director
of operations for the county
school system.
Health problems forced
him into both officiating
and work retirement, but
he is still an active spectator
and nearly every sporting

Fayne is a member of the
Mt. Tipton CME Church
where he serves as a deacon
and trustee.
KEN MCCOOL: As
part of the class of 1957 at
Byars-Hall High School he
lettered two years in football and four years in track.
He was a halfback during
one of the greatest periods
in Byars-Hall’s football
history: the consecutive
undefeated football seasons
(and Big 10 champions) of
1955-56 (10 wins, no losses,
1 tie) and 1956-57 (11 wins,
no losses).
McCool was also a member of the highly successful
1956-57 track team that
won the Big 10 and district
meets handily, finished 2nd
in the Memphis Regional
track meet and 3rd in the
State of Tennessee Track
meet. (There were no classifications then – schools
within the state were eligible to participate regardless of school population).
He was a member of the
880-yard relay team that
won their event at the district, Big 10, West Tennessee
Regional and the state track
meets (with Bill Deverell, Norman Faulk and
David Slover.) The 880-yard
team, along with the state
champion two-mile relay
team (Bill Hadley, Walter
Whitley, David Slover and
Currie Boswell) is the only
statewide Tennessee champions attributed to ByarsHall High School.
During his senior track
season, McCool set a state
record of 9.9 seconds in

the 100-yard dash during
the regular season and a
record of 22.3 seconds in
the 220-yard dash in the
finals of the 880-yard relay
at the 1957 Tennessee state
meet. It is noteworthy that
he is still the holder of these
two records even considering Covington High School
track athletes who have
competed after 1970.
While at Murray State
University, McCool participated on four Ohio Valley
Conference championship
track teams. He lettered
all four years and tied the
school 100-yard dash time
of 9.6 seconds.
After graduation, he
returned to Covington and
entered business with his
father. He then became involved in the local business
scene, local service organizations and charities

WILLIAM C. (BILL)
SIMONTON: Simonton
played seven years of varsity football at Byars-Hall
High School and Centre
College as an interior lineman. He was the student
body president his senior
year in high school, which
allowed him to develop
a long relationship with
the Principal A. F Bridges.
Bridges later became the
executive director of the
Tennessee Secondary
School of Athletics Association (TSSAA).
In college he played offensive and defensive tackle at an enormous weight
of 175 pounds. Facemasks
were not required equipment during his playing
career, thus his front teeth
were sacrificed for the love
of the game thanks to a
Maryville College offensive lineman. He majored
in History and graduated
from Centre College in
Danville, Ky. in 1950.
After graduation, Mr.
Bridges and Simonton
renewed their relationship
when Simonton became an
official of the TSSAA. He
worked junior high, high
school and college football games for the next 35
years. He refereed many
levels of playoff football
games across the state. The
TSSAA News, the monthly
publication for TSSAA
members and all the state
tournament programs were
printed by the company
(The Covington Leader) Simonton managed.
He also was an official
in basketball, baseball and
soccer for briefer periods.
He later served as clock operator for local high school
games for another 10 years
and was an unpaid assistant football coach at both
Crestview and Covington
Grammar Schools for seven
years.
He began work, parttime, at The Covington
Leader in 1936 and was
named news editor in 1950.
He went on to become the
news editor, a position
he held until leaving the
paper in 1975. The newspaper won many awards
for sports, news, pictures
and, his passion, editorials during his tenure there.
After leaving The Covington
Leader in 1975, he worked
as quality assurance manager at Clopay Corporation
and then as manager of
Purchasing and Personnel
for the City of Covington
until his retirement in 1991.
He was a member of the
Covington Board of Education from 1957 to 1972 and
served as chairman during
the desegregation of the
city school system during
the 1960s.
In civic affairs, he was a
charter officer of the Covington Chamber of Commerce and of the Covington
Country Club.
He later served as chamber president, and subsequently became chairman
of the Industrial Development Committee for the
chamber.
During his Chamber
career, many jobs were
created by recruiting such
companies as General
Curtain, Shufibre, Warwick Electronics, Charms
Candy, Bruce Plywood
and Mueller Brass to move
their production facilities to
Covington.
Simonton served on the
Board of Directors of the
Tennessee Sports Hall of
Fame for four years in the
1990s.
