HOOK - LINER & SINKER!!

When it comes to the Great Outdoors of West Tennessee some things are probable and others are just merely possible but one thing for sure is that sooner or later a fish is going to get you hook, line and sinker. It is! an old saying that means! the fish broke your line and the big one got away.!

In order to free yourself for that possible disaster here are a few tips to consider before you get taken to the cleaners.! Make sure you have the right size hooks for the fish you are trying to catch as well keeping the hooks sharp.!

Dull hooks catch less fish and!work to advantage of the fish. Keep a file in your tackle box to sharpen your hooks when needed. Line sizes should always be considered based on the weight of the fish expected to be caught.

Panfish generally can be best caught using light lines whereas catfish and bass need heavy test lines while crappie can be best caught using!a medium size line.

When using weights the same consideration should be used. Weight size should be chosen based on the size of the line and bait.! Also the location placement of the sinker is dependent on what you want your bait to do after presentation.

Before you and the kid head out in the Great Outdoors take a few extra steps so the fish don’t get you hook, line and sinker .

When he arrived later that day with Smith and Hester in tow, she let them inside the home, but once made it clear she was only interested in Milan. The others were told to wait in another room.

Several minutes later, Smith and Hester entered the teen’s room and raped her, police said. To make matters worse, Smith allegedly recorded the attack on his cellphone and posted it to Facebook.

After the incident, the victim said she hid in her grandmother’s bedroom.

At first Smith said he did not have sex with the teen, but confirmed he was the one who recorded the Gavontai McDonald video, they said. He later reportedly changed his story but stated Hester was the one who walked into the room first and raped the woman.

Milan reportedly confirmed that account of events.

3 SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN DEADLY SHOOTING OF BOLIVAR HS STUDENT

BOLIVAR, Tenn. — After a high school senior is shot and killed at his place of employment, Bolivar police have been working around the clock to find John Gray out who’s responsible.

At first there were two arrests, but the number has risen to three suspects in custody. Two of the three are juveniles, but the third is an 18-year-old who was employed at the El Ranchito restaurant where the shooting and robbery occurred.

Flowers lay against the wall at El Ranchito Mexican restaurant as the community mourns the lost of 19year-old Michael Ruiz.

“Once again a young child has came to a tragic situation, and he was a good child because I got kids that know him,” community member Bobby Boyle said.

Three suspects are behind bars, two juveniles along with John Gray, 18, who was also an employee at the restaurant. Gray is charged with first-degree murder, especially aggravated robbery, and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony.

“Instead of grabbing a pistol, they should have grabbed a pencil and get educated and learn about the values of life and what it means to have a job,” community member Jeffrick Joy said.

Bolivar police confirm two of the suspects are students at Bolivar Central High School. Community members say they’re outraged knowing the incident involves teenagers.

“That really bothered me because that could’ve been my child,” Boyle said. “It’s not so much because it’s somebody else — it’s just a young person, period. We all, as adults, we don’t want to see things like that happen to our young children.”

The owner of El Ranchito has to see caution tape outside her business as it marks off the area her nephew lost his life.

“It’s ridiculous for somebody that tries to make a honest living end up with stuff like that happening,” Joy said.

“Really bothered me to know that his life went to tragedy like that for nothing,”!Boyle said.

WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News spoke with the owner of El Ranchito, who is also the aunt of the victim, off camera. She says she is heartbroken.

The restaurant was closed all day Wednesday.

Bolivar residents are also banding together to support the Ruiz family. City officials and first responders have sent positive messages via social media with the hashtags #BolivarStrong and #WeStandWithYou.

NCAA and the myth of the student-athlete

O P I N I O N S JAMES E CHERRY! SPECIAL FOR THE SUN10:41 A.M. CT MARCH 23, 2018 REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION Sixty-eight NCAA college basketball teams have been narrowed down to 16, and by this time next weekend, we will know which two will vie for the national championship. This year’s tournament has had its share of both valley and mountaintop experiences with a number 16th!seed knocking off the best team in the country or our own Volunteers being eliminated by a shot at the buzzer. Parity is the word for this year’s 2018 Division 1 NCAA basketball tournament. But upon closer examination, just how equal is intercollegiate sports as it relates to studentathletes?

According to the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, the Graduation Success Rates (GSR) for white male basketball student-athletes in 2018 is 92 percent. Conversely, for black male basketball student-athletes, the GSR for 2018 is only 74 percent. What explains this discrepancy? Are athletes smarter simply because of the color of their skin? You would be hard-pressed to find evidence to support that theory. A more logical hypothesis would be that sports in general, and basketball in particular, are viewed as a way out for blacks. In college basketball, everyone plays on the same 94-foot court, a shot made 20.75 feet from the basket is worth three points, and if you commit five fouls you are eliminated from the game — regardless of what color you are. In other words, there is nothing more equal than athletics. Therefore, black kids excel at athletics because this is where a great deal of their energies are expended. If the playing fields of American society in economics, education and criminal justice were equal, no doubt blacks would dominate those fields as well.

The end result is usually the starting!10 players on any given college basketball court are black, and how could they possibly have time to study or graduate when they practice endless hours and entertain us every day of the week, including Christmas. Speaking of entertainment, the majority of fans who attend these games are predominantly white. On game day, many arenas resemble southern plantations.

When a black player’s eligibility is done, he usually returns back to his neighborhood without a degree, and four years of broken dreams. Whether picking cotton or shooting jump shots, black bodies have always been expendable.

Tragically, blacks have bought into this sports pipe-dream, when in reality, according to University of Southern California’s Race and Equity Center, both the NFL and the NBA draft less than 2 percent of student-athletes each year.

And then there is the money. Five of college basketball’s highest paid coaches are represented in this year’s tournament. Duke University coach Mike Krzyzewski makes almost $9 million a year, while Bob Huggins of West Virginia University holds down the five spot at a measly $3.75 million a year. The players of Division 1 basketball, zero.

What about the colleges themselves? According to the Wall Street Journal, the University of Kentucky leads the way of the top grossing basketball program in the country, raking in $342 million a year, and the University of Kansas with $181 million a year as the fifth richest program. The players, zero.

Depending on how well a team does in the national tournament, the NCAA rewards them handsomely. During the 2016-17 academic years, the NCAA doled out $160 million to Division 1 schools. The players, nada.

The pundits would posit that the student-athletes receive free tuition, medical care and that is remuneration enough. If that was enough then agents wouldn’t be able to entice a kid to take money or alumni pay them under the table or coaches to risk jail time with illegal recruiting practices. It will take the University of Louisville years to recover from the stigma of its recent scandal, and with the amount of money at stake in “amateur” sports, one would have to believe other programs are engaging in similar behaviors. They simply haven’t been caught.

Call it a stipend, an allowance, a scholarship dividend or anything else, but today’s student-athletes need to get a share of the millions of dollars being bantered about. The traditional definition of the student-athlete isn’t applicable in this modern time. A stipend would have the biggest impact upon graft and venality in college athletics.

Like millions of Americans, I’ll be watching the national championship game on April 2. However, if the NCAA does not reduce the graduation disparities among its black and white student-athletes or address its economic inequities, it will not only be “March Madness” but insanity all year long.

Tennessee Department of Education Awards Over $2 million to High-Quality School Options for Facility Improvements Competitive Grants Awarded for Updating and Purchasing Properties for Public Charter Schools

NASHVILLE—Education Commissioner Candice McQueen has announced the 40 public schools selected to receive a total of nearly $2.3 million in the second award cycle as part of the state’s Charter School Facilities Program. This funding will support high-quality charter schools with a track record of success to improve or develop school facilities where public school students in Tennessee are served.

“It is important that all of our students are served in schools where they are able to thrive and grow, including our high-quality, public charter schools,” McQueen said. “Through the Charter School Facilities Program, we have been able to provide more Tennessee students the supportive learning environment that every student deserves.”

Grant recipients were selected through a rigorous and competitive application process where they were evaluated on their ability to demonstrate both evidence of strong student academic results and that funding would help increase the number of available high-quality student seats, address unmet student needs, and support innovation in school design.

The funds will be reimbursement-based and may be used for property purchases, general improvements to existing and available buildings, any costs associated with the purchase or lease of underutilized or vacant property, and the repayment of debt incurred for existing capital outlay projects. To ensure quality and accountability, awardees will be monitored throughout the grant award and reimbursement period. In this round of the program, schools were awarded up to $60,000 of funding.

The 40 grant recipient schools are: Cornerstone Prep Denver Campus– Achievement School District Cornerstone Prep Lester Campus – Achievement School District Fairley High School – Achievement School District Hillcrest High School – Achievement School District Humes Preparatory Academy – Achievement School District Kirby Middle School – Achievement School District Libertas School of Memphis – Achievement School District Martin Luther King, Jr. College Preparatory High School – Achievement School District Memphis Scholars Caldwell-Guthrie Elementary School – Achievement School District Memphis Scholars Florida-Kansas Elementary School – Achievement School District Wooddale Middle School – Achievement School District Chattanooga Charter School of Excellence Middle School – Hamilton County Department of Education Emerald Academy – Knox County Schools KIPP Kirkpatrick Elementary School – Metro Nashville Public Schools KIPP Nashville College Prep Elementary – Metro Nashville Public Schools LEAD Academy High - Metro Nashville Public Schools LEAD Southeast - Metro Nashville Public Schools Nashville Classical Charter School - Metro Nashville Public Schools Nashville Prep - Metro Nashville Public Schools Purpose Preparatory Academy - Metro Nashville Public Schools RePublic High School - Metro Nashville Public Schools STRIVE Collegiate Academy - Metro Nashville Public Schools Arrow Academy of Excellence – Shelby County Schools City University School Boys Preparatory – Shelby County Schools City University School Girls Preparatory – Shelby County Schools City University School of Independence – Shelby County Schools City University School of Liberal Arts – Shelby County Schools Leadership Preparatory Charter School – Shelby County Schools Memphis Business Academy Elementary School – Shelby County Schools Memphis Business Academy High School – Shelby County Schools Memphis School of Excellence Elementary School – Shelby County Schools The Mt.

Advocates Secure an End to the Shackling of People in Labor in NC

After a campaign led by SisterSong, prison officials are updating the state policy to end the restraint of pregnant and laboring people who are incarcerated.! !

“This is an important step forward in ensuring the health, rights and dignity of people who are incarcerated.! It is also a testament to the impact of grassroots organizing. By working to build strong alliances and mobilizing power from the ground up, we are able to create systemic change and work to achieve reproductive justice.”

Monica Simpson, Executive Director, SisterSong!

(Durham, NC) - Statement by a coalition of organizations working to end the shackling of pregnant people who are incarcerated in North Carolina state prisons after officials agreed to update the state policy: “We are thrilled to share that after a campaign led by SisterSong in response to recent incidents of pregnant and laboring people being shackled, North Carolina state prison officials just announced that they will make changes to the policy around the use of restraints.!

Shackling people during and after childbirth is both cruel and unsafe. Leading experts in maternal, fetal, and child health care have made it clear that when someone is restrained it interferes with the ability of physicians to safely practice medicine and is demeaning and unnecessary. Shackling interferes with the ability to properly treat and care for people and to respond to crisis situations. This is a matter of life and death for a laboring individual and their child in these situations.

The new North Carolina policy says restraints should not be used when women are in labor at the onset of contractions, during delivery, post-partum recuperation, during inductions, transportation for C-section and initial bonding with newborn.! There is some discussion around use of the word ‘active labor’ and how that will be interpreted.

Advocates will continue to work to ensure the strongest version of the policy moves forward and to push for training of staff, so that the policies are consistently enforced.

With people of color overrepresented in the prison system, this issue falls hardest on people who already struggle with health disparities and higher rates of pregnancy complications and maternal mortality. This is a case where intersecting oppressions fall on women living on the margins.

Prisons, jails, and detention centers are sites of reproductive oppression where people experience sexual violence and indignity each day, where essential healthcare is often unavailable, and affirming care for transgender people is outright denied along with appropriate and safe housing for gender nonconforming individuals. To truly achieve reproductive justice, we must center and amplify the needs and voices of people who are pushed behind the wall by a broken criminal justice system and lack of social supports.

Prisons are places that cause real harm to individuals and communities. We need to reform the entire system and work to provide alternatives to incarceration; but, in the meantime, we can try to mitigate pain and suffering by pushing for changes that can help to provide more dignity and care to people who are incarcerated.

People’s human rights do not end when they enter the walls of a prison. We will continue to work to ensure the humanity of every individual.”

Diane Black Releases Plan to Strengthen Tennessee’s Economy and Leave No Town Behind

Nashville, Tenn. – Today, Diane Black released her comprehensive plan to lift up rural communities in Tennessee and make sure every Tennessean has the opportunity to live their version of the American Dream.

“Tennessee’s economy is on the move, but not every part of our state is experiencing the economic boom,” said Diane Black. “Our rural communities, which make up 60% of our state, are the lifeblood of our state, but aren’t seeing the same success as areas like Nashville. We need policies coming out of Nashville that help lift up those rural communities, rather than further their economic decline. I will fight from day one to make sure that we leave no town behind and every person in our state has the opportunity to live their version of the American Dream.”

Diane Black’s plan to strengthen Tennessee’s economy and “Leave No Town Behind”: Promote Rural Infrastructure and Educational Opportunity: • I will prioritize the infrastructure needs of rural communities. But it’s not a one-size-fits-all problem.

• Where the need is broadband, I will support solutions that allow broadband to be installed as soon as possible. It is as important to this generation as rural electrification was to the Greatest Generation. Telehealth, online course offerings in K-12 and GPS for modern farm equipment are just a few examples of why we need rural broadband NOW. • Where the need is roads, bridges, sewer/water projects or planning assistance, I will expedite those projects on Day One. • We need to invest in our county health departments to meet the primary care needs of the community and make them the hub of expanded tele-health offerings.

• If a community loses its emergency room, we will work to develop a free-standing emergency room in that county.

• Our best and brightest students don’t have to leave rural areas for a great education. I will create a statewide middle college program for high school students. The framework is already in place, but it has not been implemented statewide.

• This will give students access to academic, visual and performing arts opportunities beyond those available in the students’ local schools. Students can focus on a specific area of intellectual or artistic strength and study in a way that best suits their talents.

Create and Expand Incentives for In-State Businesses: • We’ve spent millions recruiting businesses to move here. However, in recent years, home grown businesses have been taken for granted. I’m going to focus like never before on home grown Tennessee businesses left out of the incentives offered to out of state businesses.

• I’ll make it easier for Tennessee businesses to operate and expand into rural counties. Those are the incentives we should now be offering.

• “New Entrepreneur Toolkit” – every new business will receive the information they need so government won’t stand in their way.

Keep Tennessee Taxes Low: •Tennessee is one of the lowest-taxed states in the country. As Governor, I will fight to keep it that way.

We made significant progress on the federal level to reduce taxes on small business and middle-class families. There’s no reason the state of Tennessee should undue our good work.

•I will support speeding up the elimination of the Hall Tax on interest and dividends and reviewing our franchise and excise taxes to see whether we can continue to lower the tax burden on Tennessee job creators.

Expand Vocational Training: • I will make Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology more accessible to rural areas and I’ll recruit businesses with this offer – if you create or expand jobs in rural areas, we’ll partner with you to teach the skills you need in local high schools, creating a pipeline of employees for years to come.

The FBI and Black America:

A 50-Year Retrospective Government surveillance during 1968 strike to be focus of discussion

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A half-century after the American Civil Rights movement was tragically seared into global consciousness by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, new reports reveal the breadth of the extensive surveillance of black citizens and political activists during that era.

An upcoming forum will shed light on the covert actions of the U.S. government during the Civil Rights movement and uncover secrets at the nation’s top investigative agency.

The FBI and Black America: A 50-Year Retrospective will explore stealth monitoring of political activists during the 1968 sanitation workers’ strike in Memphis and across the Civil Rights landscape into the activism of today’s Black Lives Matter and other movements.

The event will be held from 5-7 p.m. on April 3 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, 277 S. Fourth St. Featured panelists: David J. Garrow, Pulitzer Prize winning author of “Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference” and “The FBI and Martin Luther King, Jr.: From SOLO to Memphis” Lerone A. Martin, author of “Bureau Clergyman: How the FBI Colluded with an African American Televangelist to Destroy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” and professor of religion and politics at Washington University Kenneth O’Reilly, author of “Racial Matters: The FBI’s File on Black America, 1960-1972’’ and emeritus professor of history at the University of Alaska, Anchorage Marc Perrusquia, author of “A Spy in Canaan: How the FBI Used a Famous Photographer to Infiltrate the Civil Rights Movement” and awardwinning journalist at The Commercial Appeal Admission is free, but seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-seated basis.
