served as Adamsville Police Chief and her grandmother as a union representative.

Her father, Buford Pusser also served as the police chief of Adamsville and later McNairy County Sheriff.

“I thank y’all for trusting in me and believing in me,” Garrison said.

In particular, she thanked former commissioners Todd Gean and Steve Simon for appointing her to the commission.

“I’ve been proud to hopefully make this a better place to live,” she told the meeting.

She also acknowledged that there has been conflict and controversy during her tenure on the commission.

“There have been bumps in the road. There have been times I have had to wear a helmet and buckle up for some of the meetings, but, you know we’ve made it all through. I’m probably a bet-

The Adamsville City Commission bid commissioner Dwana Pusser Garrison an emotional farewell at its Oct. 17 meeting.

This was the last meeting of her term. She decided not to run for reelection, citing health reasons. Tommy Morris was elected to fill her seat.

Ironically, she was first appointed to the commission to fill Morris’ in May 1998 when he resigned after moving outside the city limits.

Garrison began an emotional and sometimes teary farewell address by thanking the commission and the voters of Adamsville for trusting and believing in her.

“For the past 14 years, I have had the privilege of serving this wonderful hometown of mine,” she said.

She noted that her desire for public service came from her family. Her grandfather

Bethel Springs Alderman Sherri Payne shocked the last meeting of the board by resigning. She cited lack of support by the board and Mayor.

However, one city employee feels the conflict was created by Payne overstepping her authority. According to John Ross Gage, Payne tried to make employees fill out an impractical amount of paperwork.

“She said the Mayor and Aldermen disagree with her on nearly everything. It wasn’t nothing like that at all. She wanted us to do a paper and the workers and board didn’t think that was necessary. Do a little job here for five minutes, go over yonder five minutes, go over there have to do something for somebody for ten minutes, write all that down. We didn’t think all that was necessary. I just didn’t have time to do all that. She came to the meeting (last month’s working session) and asked, ‘Where’s my paper at?’ I said I ain’t got one and I’m not going to fill one out. I don’t think it is necessary,” Gage said.

Section 11 of the Town Charter states; “The Alderman shall act on all matters as a body and no member shall seek individually to influence the official acts of any officer or employee of the town.”

Gage also said that Payne verbally abused city employees on occasions when they did not do what she said.

Once she took the keys from the trucks and backhoe when Gage and Garrett Moore didn’t fill out the paperwork, Gage said.

“She went out there in the pen and got all they keys and we couldn’t find them. She’s the one that got them,” Gage said.

“You can’t run this place like a state garage,” Gage said.

“She put in there in the paper that the board wouldn’t go along with her. That ain’t so,” he said.

“I just don’t understand why she did all this. She just wants to run things by herself,” Gage said.

Sherri Payne and Mayor Kay Cox declined comment on the story.

Citizen of the Year Awards Selmer cares about Jesus Cares

The Selmer Rotary Club held their 13th Annual Citizen of the Year Banquet last Tuesday at the Selmer Community Center. As in years past, the banquet honored the Citizen of the Year winner and 10 other award winners who worked to better the local community. This year’s awards were unique, however, with the addition of the new category of Rotarian of the Year.

The Citizen of the Year honoree for this year’s event was Jeff York who was honored for his outstanding service to the community.

York, a journalist of 31 years, started his career in 1980 as a sports writer at the Independent Appeal for publisher Bill Rail and was promoted to Sports Editor in ’81 where he served in that capacity for 16 years.

In 1992, York worked as a stringer for the Daily Corinthian in Corinth, Miss. where he continues as a special correspondent today.

Jeff York was named Citizen of the Year by the Selmer Rotary Club at their annual banquet last Tuesday.

York is an avid sports fan, previous Sunday school teacher at the Chewalla Baptist Church and a friend to many.

“The fact that other people recognize me for this award is much appreciated.

I don’t feel worthy as there are so many others who deserve this recognition. I do enjoy trying to help and encourage others as much as I

can,” said York. “(York) is an incredible man,” said Karen Lange, president of the Selmer Rotary Club. “He has helped so many people over the years.”

With so many worthy awardees at this year’s event, Lange said that she was honored to be here

Sunday morning McNairy County locals missed church to give the Jesus Care Thrift Store a new look by painting the top of the building with a fresh coat of paint.

With all of the improvements happening in downtown Selmer, owner Jim Gray thought it was time for the business to receive a facelift.

The roof was rusted and in need of improvement, according to the helpers, but after several coats of paint and primer, the roof looked good as new.

“Mr. Gray came to me while I was working and asked me how much it would cost to have his storefront done,” said painter James Combs. “I told him that we would come down there and get him fixed up.”

Combs, Ilene Heart, Jim Gray, Brian Gray, and Arthur Ritchie volunteered to get the job done.

Ritchie is a contractor and donated the bucket truck and lift. It would have been impossible to do without the equipment.

“I have known the painters for a long time. I have had to swap mail with Jim Gray,” said Gray.

“They painted Rite-Aid and

have done a good job.”

People find their own way to help out. Not everyone can climb or paint and those people help by donating paint or equipment. The entire job would have been estimated between $300 and $500.

“He helps out a lot of people in town,” said Combs, “and we thought we would help them out.”

Not only has McNairy County been willing to assist Jesus Cares on this project, but their contribution shows every day.

Today, there are 10 board members and approximately 65 rotating volunteers keeping the business going in both the Thrift Store and in the office.

“We need to generate $150,000 this year to help pay light, gas, heat, rent, transportation, and anything else that someone might need help with,” said Gray. “People in town and people just passing through need help and it’s good to be there to help people out. Sometimes I just wish I can do more.”

ter person for it,” she said.

Garrison talked about the accomplishments during her tenure on the commission, such as the beautification project and improvements to the water system. She also noted that many of these improvements were paid for with grant money, either costing nothing or much less than they would have otherwise paid.

“I’ll be around… I’m leaving the city in the best possible hands,” Garrison concluded.

Garrison’s remarks were concluded with a standing ovation from the audience.

Several of her colleagues on the commission and in the city administration then paid tribute to her.

In his remarks on behalf of the city, ViceMayor Mark Massey remembered that he first met Dwana when he first moved to Adamsville at the beginning of school in 1974, just after she had lost her father and having lost her mother before that.

“Dwana has done well for herself. A lot of people when they lose their parents at an early age, they don’t always know where to turn and it’s hard to make it in the best circumstances. I think sometimes we forget that,” Massey said.

Massey remembered that as a student, Garrison was energetic, emotional and caring.

“She always loved her family and she always loved Adamsville,” he said.

Massey acknowledged that it was sometimes difficult for Garrison to be heard on a male-dominated board.

“One of the things I appreciate about her when we’ve had retreats and we would talk, I’ve always felt like I could talk straight to her and she would talk straight back to me. I appreciate that…We want you to know that we love you and appreciate you and thank you for all the service you have given us. I know we’ll hear from you in the future,” Massey concluded.

“It’s been good working with her,” said Public Utilities Director and former Mayor Paul Wallace Plunk.

Commissioner Frank Lacey remembered that he moved to Adamsville in 1998.

“I didn’t know anyone and you and Jamie (Garrison’s husband) welcomed me very well. I’ve been many places, but I’ve never been to a place where a single person has had such a big effect in such a positive way.

You truly made a difference in this town.

You’ve just been a blessing in my life,” said Lacey.

“I want to thank Dwana for taking me under her wing,” said Renee Moss, Curator of the Buford Pusser Home and Museum.

Adamsville pledges sales tax for schools

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The Adamsville City Commission pledged its share of any local option one-half sales tax that might be passed to the building of two new schools at its Oct. 17 meeting.

This is one funding option that has been discussed for financing the building of new elementary schools at Selmer, as well as Adamsville. If such a tax was approved by the voters, one-quarter cent would go for the schools and one-quarter cent would go to the municipalities. The vote was in response to a letter from Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly polling the towns in the county on the issue.

Mayor David Leckner, who was not present at the meeting due to illness, had verbally committed the city to this course of action at a meeting of the McNairy County Board of Education.

“I’d be in favor of this if we can get a new school in this location,” said Vice-Mayor Mark Massey, who presided over the meeting in Leckner’s absence.

Commissioner Dwana Pusser

Garrison noted that at the community meeting, the one thing people said they would pay higher taxes for is a new Adamsville school.

“We heard the people, they spoke,” Garrison said.

Commissioner and school board chairman Frank Lacey noted that if the city did not pass it, the State could and the city would get nothing.

“This is a good option to get some money for the schools. The way the numbers have worked out, if Adamsville and Selmer commit to this…that’s enough to pay the note on two new school buildings on an annual basis, so my recommendation is that we pass this,” Lacey said.

“In response to the letter from the board of education, the City of Adamsville will commit their percentage of the sales tax increase proposed to help alleviate in McNairy County schools, specifically Adamsville in the form of a new building,” Lacey’s motion stated.

The vote for the motion was unanimous.

On another matter, the commission deferred a vote on the roundup proposal until Leckner could be

Adamsville commission unhappy with cable

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Members of the Adamsville City Commission* expressed unhappiness with the cable service provided by Charter at their Oct. 17 meeting.

“We’ve consistently had problems with Charter and their billing and their services and there’s been several new complaints of late,” said Commissioner Frank Lacey.

When Charter’s contract was renewed in 2005, they promised that the problems that existed then would not continue, according to Lacey.

One of the complaints cited

by Lacey was that if someone lived 50 yards outside of the city limits, Charter would not run the cable to them.

Another is that customers sign up for a low introductory rate and then the bill goes much higher at the end of this period. Customers also do not get notification, causing some with automatic payment to bounce checks.

“If people don’t pay attention to their checking accounts, 12 months down the road, they are bouncing checks,” Lacey said.

Lacey cited two additional problems; there are more channels but there is less to watch, and the rates keep going up.

Lacey asked City Administrator Steve Simon to contact someone from Charter to bring these problems to their attention and then seek solutions or give them notice that the town will be looking for another cable provider.

“I just looked at my bill yesterday and I thought the movie package was $31 a month, HBO, Cinemax, Starz and Encore. I got my bill yesterday and its $40 now.

So they’re going up, but they ain’t telling nobody. My bill went from $180 to $240,” said one member of the audience.

Commissioner Dwana Pusser Garrison said that the

v CORRECTION In last’s weeks issue, the photo ‘Guys rallies to save post office’ incorrectly identified Marjorie Wheeler as Marjorie Weaver. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

commission looked into an alternative in 2005, but no one else would offer cable to Adamsville.

Lacey said that Comcast covered territory from Corinth to Michie.

“There’s options out there,” he said.

Lacey suggested that a representative from Charter be invited to a meeting.

“I think Charter needs to sit here and let’s be sure the public knows they’re going to be here, so they can come in and grill them,” Lacey said.

“They only want to work from 8 to 5. I’m not at home from 8 to 5,” said Commissioner Matt Wood.

Simon said the agreement with Charter was for 10 years and would be up in 2015. If the city did not object, the agreement would automatically be renewed for three more years.

Simon told the Independent Appeal Friday that he had invited Nick Pavlis, Director of Government Relations for Tennessee and Louisiana, to come to a meeting but he did not commit.

“We will make sure that citizens of Adamsville who have Charter cable will get their needs met,” Simon said.

He said it was his earlier impression that Charter’s Adamsville franchise was a local one, but after further research he discovered that it is a state franchise.

Nick Pavlis, Director of Government Relations for Charter, responded to these complaints in an interview with the Independent Appeal.

On expanding cable, Pavlis said Charter would run cable to someone outside the city limits but that the customer would be charged for it. He said that it costs $17,000 a mile to build aerial cable and twice that for under-

ground cable. Charter invests an average of $500 per house to build cable, Pavlis said.

On the introductory rates and automatic pay complaints, Pavlis said that while customers are not notified on the expiration of the introductory rates, customers are told at the beginning when the introductory rates will end and what the regular rates are.

“They do sunset. The specials do go off. The consumer has the choice to take it or not take it,” he said.

He said the introductory rates are not unique to the cable industry.

On the issue of adding channels that people don’t like, Pavlis said, “It depends on who you are talking to. We don’t just blindly add programming. We try to add channels that most people want to watch.”

“I wish prices were dirt cheap.

It would make my job much easier. Programming and everything else goes up each year,” he said.

The rates for the expanded basic have gone up from $49.95 to $58.99 over the past five years.

This represents an 18 percent increase over the past five years or an average of 3.6 percent a year, according to Charter’s calculations. The general inflation rate has risen an average of 3 percent a year during this period.

“This is the first time we have heard anything from Adamsville, though one time is one too many,” Pavlis said.

He said he didn’t know whether he would be able to come to the next Adamsville meeting, but would appear before the commission as soon as possible to answer questions from them and the public.

at the meeting. This proposal, first made by Selmer Mayor David Robinson, would round up utilities bills to the nearest dollar and use half of the proceeds for the One-to-One technology program and half for last dollar scholarships for county students.

The city also received a ThreeStar economic development award from Hardin County.

The commission also approved giving each full-time employee and each employee of the Buford Pusser Home and Museum a $400 Christmas bonus and looking at making this a regular part of their salaries.

Part-time employees would receive a proportional bonus.

“We do approve the job they are doing,” said Massey.

The commission voted to get two more bids for the additional $20,000 loan needed for lights for the soccer field. Pickwick Electric has already offered to loan the money to the city and to authorize the purchase of the lights. The McNairy Board of Education voted to contribute $10,500 for the lights.

Finally, the commission scheduled the annual Christmas parade for Dec. 12.

when the awards were presented.

With the new category, Lange said that the club chose to honor a former member, Dudley Richard, whose invaluable contribution to the organization and recent passing left a mark on many in the community.

“Richard was the epitome of what a true rotarian should be,” Lange said.

Richard’s family was on hand that night to receive the award, but did not know what to expect. His family members were hired to perform as the entertainment act for the event, Lange said. They knew that Dudley Richards was being honored with an award but were unaware that he would be the first recipient of the Rotarian of the Year Award.

Lange stressed that this event was not being held as a fund raiser for the Rotary Club and that the main reason for the event was to recognize these people who have made a difference in our community.

“This is not about the money,” Lange said. “This is a chance to honor these people.”

For future award hopefuls, Lange offered a few helpful suggestions on how one can win.

“You have to have a big heart. You have to lead with your heart. You must be willing to help others. You need to have your hands in a everything around you.” And perhaps most important, Lange said, “You must have a love for people.”

A new law that will require voters to show a valid photo ID at the polls won’t go into effect until next year, but in preparation for this new requirement, the McNairy County Election Commission will hold a town hall meeting to inform the public of the change in the law.

The meeting is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at the McNairy County Justice Complex.

The purpose of the meeting is to present information regarding the new law, which goes into effect January 1, 2012. The town hall meeting will include a presentation, followed by a question and answer period.

“The goal of the town hall meeting is to educate the public and prepare voters for the upcoming 2012 elections,” Joanie Collins, administrator of elections said. “We want voters to have plenty of time to obtain a valid photo ID if they do not already possess one. We encourage everyone to attend the November 1 meeting.”

Selmer alderman candidates speak on the issues

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

As the race for Selmer Aldermen heats up, the Independent Appeal asked the candidates to reveal their platforms. They were asked to comment on their past records, what they will do if elected and why

voters should vote for them.

Early voting began last Thursday and will continue to Nov.3 at the McNairy County Election Commission office in the basement of the Courthouse in Selmer. The hours are from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. until noon on Saturday.

Edward Smith - Incumbent candidate

Economic development is also the centerpiece of Alderman Edward Smith’s platform.

“I have worked hard the past 4 years to help move Selmer forward. My main concern is trying to get more companies to locate here. We have some looking at Selmer now,” Smith said.

Among the accomplishments over the past four years cited by Smith are the building of the soccer field, contributing to the One to One program and supporting the Rockabilly Festival, which brought people downtown.

Smith also mentioned accomplishments in the areas of parks and recreation, and streets.

“We have improved the City Park, and we purchased the Dixie property, which will be made into a park. We have blacktopped a lot of streets, and we are putting new signs up coming into Selmer. We’re trying to make Selmer more attractive to companies coming to look,” Smith added.

Smith also noted that some improvements have been made with grants, which do not cost taxpayers anything. These include grants for fire trucks and equipment and new police cars.

“If I am reelected, I promise to keep trying to get more industry to locate here, and make Selmer a better place to live,” Smith concluded.

John David Hurst - Candidate John David Hurst is making jobs the centerpiece of his campaign.

“I’d like to have a committee to get some jobs to come in here,” he said.

Hurst noted that there are a couple of empty buildings on the bypass.

“Can we not find something to go in there?” he asked.

Another priority for Hurst is finding something for young people to do.

Hurst does think that the city is being well run presently.

“We’ve got some good paved streets,” he said.

Hurst described his role as a representative of the citizens.

“I’m not going to get in there and try to sink the ship. I will vote for it if I think it is right and against it if I thinks it’s wrong. I will listen to the people and do what they want me to do,” he said.

Johnny Norris - Candidate Johnny Norris realized the effect of local government can have on a community while he was in Iraq. This is when he first started thinking about running.

“Then I returned home and noticed that Robocop was on patrol. I decided then that maybe it was time that the city of Selmer had someone that thinks differently than the people who are in office now,” Norris said.

Paul Simpson - Incumbent candidate

Vice-Mayor and Alderman Paul Simpson said he is running for re-election because he has served the people of Selmer and McNairy County for 38 years as General Sessions Judge for 16 years and 22 years as a Selmer Alderman. He has also served as city treasurer.

Simpson has been a Jaycee for many years and cited the creed which says, “Service to humanity is the best work of life.”

“I have lived in Selmer since 1965 and that is why I am running for alderman, to serve the people of Selmer,” he said.

Three priorities mentioned by Simpson are industry, public safety and fiscal responsibility. Simpson touts the growth in industry in Selmer during his time on the board. He noted that the University of Tennessee at Martin/Selmer has proven to be a strong asset to Selmer.

“We need to make improvement in our fire and police departments so that our citizens can feel safe. As we continue to make improvements to our city we must be good stewards of the city’s finances and spend the taxpayers’ money wisely. As long as I have served as alderman, there has never been a property tax increase,” he said.

Lloyd Tennyson - Incumbent candidate

Tennyson is running on fiscal responsibility and judgment.

“As an elected public official, I believe it is my duty and responsibility to represent the citizens of Selmer in the fairest way I can. I believe that your tax dollars should be spent conservatively and in ways that will benefit the majority you and your town in the best way possible.

Over the past four years, I have tried my best to consider all sides of the issues brought to us as aldermen of Selmer. If I am re-elected for the next four years, I will continue to serve you as honestly as I can to the best of my ability. Thanks for your support,” he said.

Chris Tull - Candidate

Chris Tull’s platform stresses unity and jobs. He cites his record of job creation in his four years as manager of the Robert Sibley Airport. He mentioned the improvements at the airport and with relationships with defense contractors and Hospital Wing and the numerous jobs and the over a million dollars in economic impact to the community per year.

In order to create jobs in the future, Tull proposes continuing the Selmer beautification program as well as improving access to the Industrial Park off Highway 45 N. “We must have a city council united, not divided. If elected, I will fully support this effort to ensure that we are not left behind when opportunity knocks.

Tull pledged his support to the One-to-One program, the Police, Fire, Utility and Parks and Recreation Department by insuring that they are fully funded and sufficiently staffed. “I ask for your support and vote to help accomplish this on November 8, 2011,” Tull concluded.

student loans because they don’t come with generous repayment plans, forgiveness and borrower protection that federal student loans do.

Yet the higher costs are not bringing better results.

One study found that over one-third of college students made no significant improvement in critical thinking, reading or writing skills during the time they were in college.

The lack of increase in higher order skills could be in part due to a lack of academic rigor. Over a third of students reported that they studied five hours per week or less and half said that they didn’t have a single class that required 20 pages of writing.

The problem is getting worse over time. Higher order thinking skills advanced twice as much in the 1980s as in the 1990s and five times as much as in the 2000s.

One possible reason for this decline in rigor is that students evaluate professors and if they don’t get the grade they expected, they retaliate against them.

This gives professors an incentive not to insist on high academic standards.

Judgement House returns Towns celebrate Halloween

By Christian West Intern

First Baptist Church will present their eighth annual Judgement House, Invasion: Shattering Your Sense of Security, beginning Wednesday.

Judgement House is a dramatic multiscene walk-through drama that is a part of an international chain. Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and features seven various enactments that tell the story of the Kirkman family. When their house is broken into, the faith of three children is thrown into a level of uncertainty when their parents are both fatally injured. It further explains the consequences of each action that you make both in this life and the next.Throughout the scenes, you see how the children cope with the loss of their parents, and how their parents learn

that each decision they make can effect how they are seen on judgement day.

Brother Bryan Essary has overseen the project every year and always enjoys seeing groups come from as far away as Memphis to people accept Christ into their lives.

“It’s an actual potrayal of how to be saved, and to see how your friends and family react to how wonderful God’s plan really is,” said actress Julie Smith. “Judgement House is about getting Christians together and sharing the gospel with others.” Her favorite part is seeing the end results.

Judgement House begins on Wednesday at 6p.m., and will follow with performances on Saturday and Sunday at 4pm, and Halloween night beginning at 6 pm. The final show will conclude at 9pm each night.

Walk-ins are welcomed, but reservations are recommended. Call (731) 645- 5326 for more information.

In 1930, some 84 % of the cotton crop in Tennessee was middling and better. In 1949 only 34% was graded middling or better. It is clear that better grades depend upon the delivery of clean dry cotton to the gin. Harvesting suggestions: Pick at frequent intervals to avoid damages by weathering.Pick only fully open bolls.

Pick cotton dry and see that it is kept dry before ginning. Do not pack damp cotton in the wagon, but spread it out to dry. Keep out leaves, etc.

The Memphis OPS office has received notice from Washington that a nationwide campaign to enforce cattle ceiling prices will start at once.

The slaughter quota system was left out of the original Act. As a result honest packers in the absence of slaughter quotas, find it difficult to get cattle at the legal prices and they are being forced to reduce cattle purchases substantially.

Adamsville by Dossie New-

Loretta Sweeton (Pocahontas): “I think they are over inflating.

They cheat you every time you turn around. You start out with a low price, you’re bouncing your checks because you put in a certain amount and they double. The next thing you know they triple.

Tina Carroll (Eastivew): “Personally, I have the Dish Network and I really like the satellite company. I had cable when I lived in Michie and I really wasn’t happy.

I just didn’t think I got all the channels I wanted for the price. So I’m very satisfied with the satellite.”

Bethany Rowsey (Selmer): “I do think it’s expensive. It’s overpriced. I’m a busy person so I’m never home to watch it.”

Melanie Mathis Davis (Ramer, TN): “They’re a little expensive. Where we live at, it’s rural county so we have to have a satellite for the dish and we don’t have the DSL available for our internet services or anything like that, so it’s kind of ridiculous.”

Linda McKell (Guys):

Crystal Reese (Selmer):

“I have DIRECTV now. I would like to get something that was cheaper out where we live.”

“I don’t really know anything about the satellite companies. The cable company has been pretty decent.

I haven’t had any problem with them..”

Burlesci nominated Volunteer of the Year

By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

Photo by Andrew Alexander

Adamsville Cardinal’s Head Manager, Ryan Burlesci operates the video camera from the sideline for playback use later from the team.

Seventeen-year-old Ryan Burlesci has been nominated as Adamsville High School Student Volunteer of the Year and was recognized last Tuesday at the Selmer Community Center during the 2011 McNairy County Citizen of the Year Banquet.

Burlesci is from Fort Bragg, California, but is well-known throughout McNairy County because he has been a manager for the Adamsville Cardinals for over two years and has attended school there for four.

“The jobs differ day by day depending on what needs to be done,” said Burlesci. “Some things include getting equipment to the field, sanitizing the weight room equipment, driving stuff to different parts of the school and into town, serving meals on Friday, locking up the school after league football ends, working the gate, filming the games and/or practice.”

As the head manager Burlesci oversee three other managers to ensure everything goes as planned.

“The duties aren’t necessarily difficult,” said Burlesci. “The job is just very time consuming.

Luckily for me, I have the power to delegate any of the physically demanding work that needs to be done. Emotionally speaking, if the players or coaches are in a bad mood, the managers are too; same with good moods.”

Cardinals coach Brandon

Gray thinks that Burlesci will be a great employee for someone in the near future.

“He takes initiative in everything he does,” said Gray. “This year he made a work schedule for all the managers so if someone needed to work on something else the football team would be covered. Above all else, he is what we look for in our program. Ryan takes on numerous responsibilities and is very dependable.”

Not only does Burlesci spend his time on the sidelines, he plays many roles such as a Volunteer at the Hardin County Fire Department, as the McNairy County Sheriff’s Explorers Youth Leader, as a tutor at the Adamsville Elementary School After-School program, as a Summer Camp Counselor at Boy Scouts of America, as Lodge Secretary at the Order of the Arrow, and has been involved in other youth scouting and community service events, such as food banks, trash cleanup, service projects, and the list goes on and on.

“It is a big honor to be recognized for doing what I enjoy doing- helping people in my community,” said Burlesci. “My parents taught me since I was very young that it is important to help people that aren’t as fortunate as me. They have been involved in the scouting programs and with the volunteer fire department and have encouraged me to donate my time to those types of causes.”

His family is very proud of his accomplishments and feels

that he has developed into a very honest trustworthy, responsible and caring person.

“Ryan is a very hard worker,” said his mother, Carla Burlesci.

“He is very dedicated to school and takes all of his jobs very seriously. He is the type of young man that is willing to help anyone in need and will volunteer his time for any cause.”

Watching him grow up, his mother has noticed numerous accounts of kindness.

“He donates blood, helps control traffic during accidents or community events, helps with the audio and video for a local church, and participates in many local events,” said mother Burlesci. “He is, overall, just a very helpful and friendly person.

Ryan is always helping people in some way and we are very proud of him.”

After graduation, Burlesci plans to follow in his mother’s footsteps and attend the University of Tennessee at Martin.

“Currently I am enrolled in duel-enrollment through UT Martin,” said Burlesci. “I plan on majoring in law enforcement and sociology and also want to further my education in firefighting and getting more involved with the fire services.”

The satisfaction of serving his community is more than money or recognition, but the honor of the award is very fulfilling as well.

“Having received this honor has shown me that all the hard work I have done has not gone unnoticed,” said Burlesci.

Michie changes personnel policies

By Janet Rail Publisher

Last Monday, Mayor Mike Glisson along with Aldermen Jim Merry, Jed Baker and Brandon Nabors had a long discussion regarding salary adjustments, personnel, payroll and mileage policies and procedures for all city employees and the manpower needs of the city water department.

“We need to get the policies in place and compliant with the state and assure that going forward Nov. 1, we change to our new policies and comply with any wage and hour laws,” stated Alderman Merry. The board voted unanimously to develop new policies compliant with state laws and enforce beginning Nov 1.

The board also unanimously voted to raise the current salary of Roger Jenkins, water operations manager, to $1,429 bi-weekly; Janice Durbin, city manager a $1.00 per hour raise and offer the two other city employees Anthony Durbin and Sam Denton, both water department employees, a cost

of living increase. The board discussed the continued review of all positions to assure all departments remain within budget.

The board heard from citizen Karen Lange who reported a large water leak while she was on vacation for a week that caused a bill to reflect 123,000 gallons of water usage at her home with a bill of approximately $780.

The board’s policy in such cases is to ask customers to pay half the bill one time during a year. Lange reported her largest water bill in the past was $80. “The meter was read, but no call was made and I would have preferred that the city disconnect my water and pay a $20 reconnect fee and I don’t want this to happen to anyone else,” Lange said.

Roger Jenkins stated, “When I go by your meter the computer reads the usage but there is no way to alert me to high usage.” “Do we have a process in place at present to review bills?” stated Glisson.

As reported, an employee does review all bills but the board

discovered there was a two day delay in that review and the board unanimously voted to take an additional $100 off the bill and requested the water department to look into software to prevent any reoccurrences with other customers.

The board passed minutes of the Sept. 26 meeting and also discussed potential annexation west on Highway 57 but took no action.

A motion was made and passed to close the Bond & Sinking Fund with a remaining 61 cent balance, Grant Fund with $1,000 balance and Volunteer Fire Department Fund, no balance reported, as requested by the auditor and operate out of the general fund.

In other action the board approved the purchase of a city hall sign for the highway as citizens were stating it hard to find city hall and to purchase a previously approved flag pole to accommodate both an American and Tennessee State Flag. “We need to seek permission from the state for a road sign,” stated Baker.

Evolution of sports

By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

Sports have made some drastic changes over the years and not only throughout history, but in my short-lived time as well.

In football, helmets are used to prevent and protect against head injury. Helmets were not part of the standard football gear until after World War II and only Amanda then the soft Lowrance leather harnessed helmets were issued.

Harder leathers, cushioning, and graphics even came before plastic. About mid-twentieth century the plastic helmet was introduced with a single bar as the face mask. Many of the alumni players can probably remember wearing this type of helmet.

The actual ball used in football has taken a more oval shape from the beginning watermelon form.

Basketball was invented by a gym teacher who wanted to keep his class entertained on a rainy day.

It was astonishing to see Michael Jordan dunk and now it’s almost unacceptable at the high school level if there is not a dunk.

Jordan was even responsible for the development of longer, more comfortable basketball shorts. His thinking was that he needed bigger Chicago Bulls’ shorts to fit over his lucky North Carolina shorts. Since then, the players have not turned back and who would want to?

Alexander Cartwright modernized baseball to the game it is today by setting the rules and regulations for the informal freeballers.

Soccer has been around a long time and has grown in our community tremendously in the past few years. Children are playing as young as three-years-old, which is trendy now in Europe, where the game was invented.

Running in general has changed with research and technology inventing a new, faster way to run over terrain with barefoot shoes.

Women’s sports have certainly come a long way. Competition sports in America began with tennis and baseball in the early 1880s.

Finally, in April 1996, the Women’s National Basketball Association was formed and the women took the court the next year.

Softball was introduced with a boxing glove and a broom handle on Thanksgiving day during a football game in 1887. Today the game can be followed and watched on television along with many other variations of sports.

It’s remarkable just how far each sport has changed and for the better. With electronics and technology advancing, there’s no end to what sports can become.

Ten years from now our current progression will only be a part of history.

Bobcat Quarterback Hayden Kiestler (10) gets good protection from Kennon Strickland (66) and Louie Garland (60) as he gets the ball to his running back.

The McNairy Central Bobcats blocked a kick in the final minutes to preserve a 14-12 win over the FayetteWare Wildcats in Somerville, Tenn. last Friday.

The game resulted in a very close match-up and the Bobcats had to fight for the win. Fayette-Ware had not won a game all year and came out determined to get a win on their senior night.

“With the adversity that we had, it was a tribute for [our players] to keep coming back time after time,” said Glover. “Some things we did to ourselves, there were some bad calls, and plays that the other team made that just kept putting us behind the eight ball.

We just kept fighting and coming back to it.”

Bobcat Jacob Williams kicked off the game after the Wildcats won the coin toss and elected to receive.

The ball changed hands several

times throughout the game with fumbles and turnovers on downs. The first quarter ended with no score from either team.

Quarterback Hayden Kiestler delivered a 23-yard pass to the end zone to Juan Macias for the first touchdown.

Williams extra point attempt slammed into the upright and the PAT was no good. The Bobcats led the game 6-0 with over four minutes remaining in the second quarter.

Kiestler intercepted a long pass intended for a Wildcat and returned the ball 52-yards for McNairy Central’s second touchdown. The Bobcats lined up for a two-point conversion attempt, which was ran in by Jack Smith and the score was set at 14-0 with over two minutes left in the first half.

On the next play, Kiestler was carried out of the game by Coach Glover and the athletic trainer with an injury after a hard hit on the field.

Cardinals stay red-hot on Senior Night

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

It was Senior Night at Lendon Martin Memorial Stadium last Friday night and the future 2012 graduates finished an impressive regular season 9-1 after a 38-22 win over the McKenzie Rebels.

The careers of 19 senior football players, 16 senior band members, and one senior cheerleader were celebrated before the game began.

Cardinal Head Coach Brandon Gray had a strong message for his team leading up to what was arguably the Cardinals’ biggest game of the year. It was a message that he delivered not just this week, but 655 days before when Adamsville began preparing for their next season after a 46-20 loss to the Rebels in the 2009 State Playoff Quarterfinals.

His message was, “If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. If you aren’t the best, you better find out in a hurry how good the best is because that’s how good you have to become.

You can’t be afraid of competition.”

There was no fear in the eyes of the Cardinal players last Friday. They came out focused and red-hot, bolting out of the gates to a 7-0 lead. AHS partially blocked McKenzie’s first punt of the game, giving the Cardinals great field position to start their first drive.

Adamsville capitalized when Dalton Plunk hooked up with senior Josh Shoate for a 33-yard pass that gave the Cardinals possession on the 2-yard-line.

Zak Neary got the call on first-and-goal and pounded home a touchdown run with 6:50 to play in the first quarter.

The Cardinal defense forced a threeand-out on McKenzie’s next offensive possession and Adamsville went down the field for a 10-play, 65-yard drive, resulting in a 10-yard touchdown pass from Plunk to senior Jalen Kendall who jumped over two Rebel defenders to make the catch. Dustin Plunk made his second successful PAT and AHS led 14-0 with 0:42 remaining in the first quarter.

The Rebels answered back and cut the Cardinals’ lead to 14-7 after moving the ball well on their third possession, scoring on a short touchdown run with 7:00 left in the first half.

Adamsville did not waver after the Rebel scoring drive. Shoate leaped over a McKenzie defensive back to catch Plunk’s second down pass and dashed to the end zone for a 71-yard touchdown.

Dustin Plunk’s PAT split the uprights and the Cardinals were up 21-7 with 6:01 to play in the second quarter.

The Rebels got on the scoreboard again but Adamsville managed to tack on three more points with a Dustin Plunk field goal as time expired in the first half with the Cardinals leading 2414.

Neary shed several tackles on his way to a 41-yard touchdown run on Adamsville’s third play of second half. Dustin Plunk converted his fourth consecutive extra point attempt and AHS was up 3114 less than two minutes into the third quarter.

Senior Drake Fox ended McKenzie’s ensuing drive by sacking the Rebel quarterback on third down to force a punt.

Adamsville’s next possession began on the Cardinal 43-yard-line. After a fourth-down conversion, Taylor Alexander broke into the end zone on a 1-yard touchdown run. Dustin Plunk finished his night’s work with his fifth PAT, giving AHS a 38-14 lead with 3:49 remaining in the third quarter.

The Rebels did not give up and scored another touchdown, cutting the lead to 38-20. Adamsville’s offense could not get going on their next drive and was forced to punt for the first time in the game. A bad snap on the punt sailed out of the back of the end zone, giving the Rebels a safety and two more points, but they would be the last McKenzie would enjoy as time expired in the fourth quarter with Adamsville leading by 16. “[McKenzie] is good year in and good year out. That’s where our program wants to be,” said Gray. “We want people to say the same thing about Adamsville.”

Shoate caught four passes for 108 yards and a touchdown, giving the senior five touchdowns and 414 yards receiving.

Kendall caught four passes for 54 yards and a touchdown, giving him 364 yards receiving and eight touchdowns in

Tournament rollercoaster for Lady Cats soccer

By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

Staff Photo by Andrew Alexander

The McNairy Central Lady Bobcats experienced the highs and lows of the post-season within a week with a 9-0 victory over the Jackson Central-Merry Cougars Oct. 18 and then an 11-0 loss against the Madison Mustangs last Thursday in the 15 A-AA District Tournament.

The tournament jumped off to an exciting start with twelve teams in the running for a district championship; Madison Academic, Trinity Christian Academy, Adamsville, Scotts Hill, JCM, Kingsbury, Sacred Heart, Chester County, Liberty Tech., Jackson South Side, and Lexington.

The win acquired at home Oct.18 against the Cougars had the Lady Bobcats ready to plow through the competition.

“This was a good team up game before we played Madison on Thursday night,” said Coach Jerry Lott. “Everyone had a chance to play.”

Mallorie Sweat scored the first goal six minutes into the contest, and Shawna Roten followed behind her with a goal two minutes later.

Sweat made a second goal in the 25th minute and Ana Whitten kicked one in at the 33 minute mark. Kindra Brown set the halftime score at 5-0 on a goal assisted by Breanna Burge at three minutes before halftime.

Sarah Lambert filled in for Goalie Laralee Williams, who was out with an injury, and held

the Lady Cougars scoreless with two saves in the first half.

After the break, Jasmine Sanders, assisted

by Rebekah Lowrie, scored her first goal of the game after eight shots on the goal; Lowrie scored her first goal as well. Frakia Robinson scored a goal on an assist from Haven Phelps and Sanders scored her second goal in the 58th minute.

Brown tried her hand at goalie during the second half and picked up one save. The team had a total of 32 shots on goal against JCM, while the Lady Cougars only had five shots on goal.

After the win, the Lady Bobcats held an overall record of 4-8-1.

“We beat the rain,” said Coach Julie Sweat.

“Overall it was a good day to play soccer.”

On day two of the district tournament last Thursday, the Lady Bobcats lost to the number one seeded Madison Mustangs 11-0. At the half the Lady Mustangs had built an 8-0 lead.

Sweat got a turn at goalkeeper and gave McNairy Central a whopping 19 saves. The Lady Cats were unable to score with only four shots on goal and Madison remained solid throughout the game with 32 shots on goal.

“Madison has a really strong team with good shooters and a good defense,” said Lott. “Coach Sweat and I are proud of our effort and our three seniors; Ana Whitten, Kindra Brown, and Sarah Hunter.”

The Lady Bobcats finished the 2011 Soccer Season with an overall record of 4-9-1.

Lady Lions oust Lady Cards

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Cold weather, a short bench, and injuries all played a role in the Adamsville Lady Cardinal soccer team’s second round exit in the District 15 A-AA Tournament last Thursday.

AHS fell to Trinity Christian Academy 1-0 on a cold and windy afternoon behind Adamsville Elementary School.

“Tough game on the offensive side. We had to move people around and it affected our play,” said District 15 A-AA Coach of the Year Rebecca Ashe about her team’s performance. “We did a good job on defense, and the goal they scored was on a questionable call.”

The lone goal of the game was scored by a TCA striker that was awarded a free-kick after being tripped up in the

Cardinal penalty box seconds before the end of the first half.

Adamsville struggled to maintain possession during the match, making it difficult to get shots on goal.

Midway through the second half, the Cardinals seemed to feel the pressure mounting as the time ran down, but despite their best efforts, could not muster an equalizing goal.

Senior Brittany Lambert was injured late in the match attempting to put a shot on goal for AHS. Lambert’s injury occurred while fighting for possession of the ball deep in Lion territory, and she was carried off the field by her fellow seniors.

Goalkeeper Olivia Wright played a good game in the net and was credited with six saves, but the Lady Cardinals only managed one shot on goal in the match because of the pesky Lady Lion defense.

Adamsville went into the match as the 2nd seeded team in the district’s South Division, earning them a bye in the first round and home-field advantage in the second round. TCA defeated Scotts Hill in the first round of the tournament before beating the Lady Cardinals last Thursday.

“This has been a great season and [we] look forward to next year,” Ashe said.

The loss ended AHS’s season with an 8-4 record. The Cardinals forced 37 goals in the 2011 season and allowed only 17. Adamsville bid farewell to four seniors (Lambert, Chloe Mullis, Kristina Milford, and Bethany Debok) after the loss.

“We are going to miss our seniors and wish them the best,” said Ashe. “I would like to thank Coach White for all his efforts,” and “Thanks to the parents for all they have done this season.”

MCHS, AHS Edward Jones Players of the Week

Pick’em games all one sided contests

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

All of this week’s outcomes were decided by at least two touchdowns, providing a less than thrilling group of games for a pickers to choose from.

Despite the lopsided scores, Tammy Hampton Moore was able to piece together a perfect set of picks in Week #8 of the Independent Appeal’s 2011 College Football Pick’em. Moore finished the week 5-0, matching my score, but out-picking all of our coaches to win a $50 gift certificate to Saw Meal Restaurant in Adamsville.

Assistant coaches Renard Woodmore and Brandon Alldredge both missed on Notre Dame to finish 4-1, and head coaches Brandon Gray and Jim Glover failed to choose USC and Miami (FL), giving them each a 3-2 record to close out the week.

Clemson and North Carolina nearly broke the scoreboard by putting up a combined 97 points to open Saturday’s action with a bang. The Tigers, aided by the Tar Heel’s six turnovers, defeated UNC 59-38.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets dropped their second straight ACC battle effectively removing themselves from the top 25. The resurgent Miami Hurricanes capsized the Rambling Wreck’s triple-option offense and beat Georgia Tech 24-7.

LSU cruised into their bye week before their huge matchup with Alabama by crushing Auburn at home.

The Tigers’ defense held War Eagle to three points through the first 57 minutes of the contest in rout to a 45-10 victory.

The Crimson Tide were deadlocked with the Volunteers at halftime, but Tennessee’s lack of depth up front

crippled their upset attempt as Alabama rolled to a 37-6 win in the second half.

Closing out Week #8’s games, the Trojans, led by Matt Barkley and Robert Woods, stifled Fighting Irish fans in South Bend as USC took the Jeweled Shillelagh from Notre Dame with a 31-17 thumping.

Next weekend’s set of games are sure to be entertaing to watch. Living legend Joe Paterno and the Penn State Nittany Lions look to stay perfect and in the first place in the Leaders Division of the Big Ten as they host an Illinois team coming off two consecutive losses.

Oklahoma will try to shake off their tough loss to Texas Tech and remain relevant in the BCS discussion when they travel to the Little Appeal (Manhattan, Ks.) to take on the surprisingly undefeated Kansas State Wildcats.

The Georgia Bulldogs will attempt to bury the Gators and take another step toward the SEC East Championship in the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Florida comes into the rivalry game losers of three straight.

Georgia Tech needs to get back on track for a chance to play in the ACC Championship, but the conference’s top team, 8-0 Clemson, does not plan on being stung by the Yellow Jackets.

Rounding up Week #9’s lineup is Heisman front-runner, Andrew Luck, and his Stanford Cardinal team who will collide with Lane Kiffin’s Trojans, who look to pick up their second consecutive upset victory.

Those interested in playing along for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Saw Meal Restaurant should log onto Facebook, “like” the Independent Appeal, submit their picks on the 2011 College Football Pick’em post for Week #9, and hope they are good enough to best our coaches.Sta

Hometown heroes visit SNA for last game of season

Staff Photo by Amanda Lowrance

After trick-or-treating the bases and meeting National Guardsmen, rescue workers, police officers, helicopter pilots, and Selmer Mayor David Robinson the young athletes gleefully gather with volunteers in their costumes to commemorate their big night.

By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

Selmer introduced Special Needs Athletics in late September and their first season came to an end last Tuesday with a Halloween celebration and a visit from local heroes.

Patriot Park flooded with people as SNA-Selmer’s fall sports season came to an end.

The Tennessee National Guard from Selmer and Henderson, McNairy Regional EMS, Selmer Police Department, Selmer Fire Department, Hospital Wing, Special Needs Athletics out of Jackson, Tenn., Selmer Mayor David Robinson, and Freed-Hardeman groups attended and greeted the children with kindness and candy.

“For our first SNA season we are all very pleased,” said Selmer Parks and Recreation Director Sybil Dancer. “It’s the best blessing in the world. To watch them play, it’s the warmest feeling you’ll ever get. This was just a big special night for them on their last night.”

Dancer had the park decked with Halloween floats and décor and was handing out free food and drinks under the pavilion.

Wood Playhouse

Mayor Robinson presented trophies to the SNA athletes and many of the other fall sports teams joined in on the fun.

“The season was wonderful,” said SNA-Selmer leader, Linda Taylor. “We had a lot of community support. We had a short season, but a wonderful season. There were some tears shed here tonight, but I was amazed at the public and the volunteers. The world needs a lot more of this.”

SNA in Jackson has continued to grow and venture into basketball, mini golf, baseball, and bowling.

Selmer is expanding and plans to kick off indoor soccer starting Nov. 14. It will run for six weeks until the holiday season approaches. A bowling season is also in the works and donations are being made for mini golf.

“It’s going to grow,” said Taylor. “We always need donations.”

For many years parents drove to Jackson from surrounding areas, including Selmer to compete in special needs athletics, and finally the community has welcomed and provided much needed support for a local SNA program.

Several volunteer groups ventured out to Patriot Park Monday, Oct. 17 to lend a helping hand. Freed-Hardeman social groups Theta Nu and Xi Chi Delta were two of the groups that came to assist the special needs athletes. Also, two local Selmer girls’ softball teams; Dr. Bartz’ team coached by Adam and Meg Day and Tull Body Shop, coached by Dustin and Misty Brown came to enjoy the fun. It was hard to determine who was having the most fun, the SNA players or the volunteers. Everyone was having a great time and it was truly a wonderful sight to see so many individuals helping the players as they hit and rounded the bases. The SNA organization would like to thank everyone who came out to support these amazing athletes.

Ramer Youth Soccer

Ramer youth soccer players from several age groups hit the field last Saturday for a day of full of fun, friendship, and competition.

McNairy Central’s Jarrett Mood (9) finds a hole in the Wildcat defense with blocking from Justin Sutton (25) in the Bobcats’ 14-12 victory over Fayette-Ware.

Bobcats From Page 1b

The clock ran out after the snap and the Wildcats were able to get a pass completion to the end zone for their first touchdown. Their attempt for a two-point conversion was stopped by the Bobcat defense and the score at halftime was 14-6.

Fayette-Ware recognized their seniors at halftime and gave a full-on band performance for the attendees.

McNairy received the kickoff and made their way to the goal line. The referees showered the field with flags in the third and neither team could score in the third quarter and so the score stood at 14-6.

The Wildcats made a comeback and put a lot of pressure on McNairy Central after a touchdown with over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Bobcats prevented them from tying the game with a two-point conversion by stopping the Wildcats dead in their tracks.

With less than a minute to go in the fourth quarter, Fay-

ette-Ware got one last chance and elected to kick a field goal on fourth down from the 20-yard-line.

Coach Glover called a timeout and huddled his team up to construct a game plan.

“We talked about how we wanted to do it and we wanted to do it to make sure we came from the wide side of the field because the ball had to travel at that angle,” said Glover. “We had two linemen, Cooper Davis and D.J. Lynum lined up on the guard and then we had Hayden Kiestler and Casey Aiken coming off the edges. With all four of them, everyone got on it and we made a great play.”

The Bobcats darted off the line when the ball was snapped and blocked the game winning field goal.

After the turnover on downs, Kiestler took a knee to run out the clock. The crowd and players celebrated a nailbiting 14-12 win over FayetteWare.

Macias was the receiving leader with one catch of 23 yards and a touchdown.

Smith was the rushing leader with seven carries for

104 yards and scored on a twopoint conversion. He also had six tackles on defense.

Justin Sutton had nine carries for 25 yards and Kiestler had two carries for 10 yards.

Kiestler also completed one of two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown, and had two tackles and returned an interception for a 52-yard touchdown on defense.

Kerby Gray led on defense with 12 tackles and Grant Saum was right behind him with nine.

Coach Glover wore the renowned argyle pants, which has given the Bobcats a running record of 2-1.

“We are going to keep the pants,” said Glover. “Lexington is the best team in the state. It’s a good opportunity for our kids to go in there and play and have fun. We have nothing to lose. We got everything in the world to gain, so the pressure is on them. We are excited for the opportunity.”

McNairy Central holds a 2-7 season record and will play their last game Friday on the road against the top-ranked, undefeated Lexington Tigers.

AHS Cardinals host tennis tournament

his senior season.

Alexander rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown, giving the senior six touchdowns in 2011.

Senior Josh Burks led the Cardinals with 12 tackles on defense, amounting a team leading 57 for the season.

Senior Chase Gunn racked up nine tackles and senior Blake Edwards accounted for eight.

Senior Kasey Hurley had an interception, recorded four tackles, giving him 51 in 2011, and was also credited with a blocked punt.

Fox had four tackles and a sack, and seniors John Blakley and Seth Killingsworth also picked up four tackles apiece. Drew Griswell finished the contest with two and Blake Elrod had one.

Neary led the Cardinals with 180 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, giving the sophomore halfback over 1000 yards on the ground and eight touchdowns in 2011.

Plunk completed eight passes for 170 yards and two touchdowns, giving him 13 touchdowns and over 730 yards through the air on the season.

Jonah Lusk caught his first pass of the season, netting eight yards for the junior.

Josh Lunsford finished the game with seven tackles and the season with 29. John Reed Odom recorded two tackles and intercepted his fourth pass of the season. Bradley Hornbuckle finished with four tackles, giving him 25 in the regular season.

During the 2011 regular season, Adamsville’s offense forced a total of 328 points, and the defense gave up only 132. The Cardinal’s’ average

margin of victory was 22.4 points, and AHS outscored opponents 212-57 in the first half.

“We’ve got a lot of guys out there that have been in the fire before,” said Defensive Coordinator Renard Woodmore about the defense’s stellar performance this season. “I contribute it to being in the system for so long that they know exactly what to do and where they need to be.”

AHS finished the regular season ranked 6th in Class 2A, and 5th in the Jackson Sun’s Dirty Dozen.

The win was enough to etch a Class 2A State Playoff first round bye in stone for the Cardinals, which allows two weeks of prep time for the Adamsville coaches to ready their team for the playoffs with their regular season bye falling on the last week of the season.

The Cardinals have no way of knowing who they will face in the playoffs, but the coaching staff is certain their team will be prepared.

“We’re going to prepare for everybody like they’re the Chicago Bears,” Woodmore said.

“We’re going to come out and be prepared each and every week. We’re not going to take anything for granted.”

The 2011 Cardinals have truly become a tight flock, helping them soar through a tough schedule nearly unscathed, but what’s most important to them is not who scored how many touchdowns or which guy has the most tackles.

What’s important to them is that they win and they do it together.

“Nobody is selfish. These guys are rooting for each other and they want to see each other do well,” said Gray. “It’s hard to find a team that honestly cares about each other, but I really think this team does.”

Adamsville High School’s tennis program held its bi-annual open tennis tournament at Buford Pusser Memorial Park Oct. 14-16.

The Cardinals have hosted the tournament for 11 years, once in fall and once in spring, to raise funds for their season that begins in March.

The weather during the weekend-long event was spectacular with temperatures in the 70’s and hardly a cloud in the sky.

The fall tournament is usually played in September, but court repairs were needed this year and AHS Tennis Coach Michael Harvill had to push back the starting date.

“It’s okay. It’s not quite as big as others but good enough to have a good tournament.

You can’t beat this weather.

This is great. Perfect,” Harvill said about the turnout and the clear blue skies accompanied by a light breeze.

Martin and Marta Mazanek placed first in Mixed Doubles, and Robert Hand and Anne Carter placed second.

Alex and Sasha Kluyenko placed first in the Men’s ‘B’ Doubles, and Steve Wood and Cannon Anthony placed second.

In Men’s ‘A’ Doubles Preston Wade and Brandon Gardener defeated Harvill and Martin Mazanek (4-6, 6-3, 6-2).

In Women’s Doubles Ali Gean and Maddie Wilson defeated Taylor Heavener and Madison Mayhall (4-6, 7-6, 6-2).

In Men’s ‘A’ Singles Harvill defeated Preston Wade (6-2, 7-5).

In Men’s ‘B’ Singles Adrian Martin defeated Anthony Trumble (6-2, 6-2).

Harvill was appreciative of the support the team receives each year from the community.

“The AHS tennis team would like to thank all who played in the tournament, contributed to the tennis team, and continue to support the team in many ways,” said Harvill. “We truly have some good people supporting Adamsville tennis.”

One-to-One: preparing kids for the future MCHS Principal’s List and Honor Roll

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

It is the goal of the One-to-One program to put laptops for students in every classroom, according to Terry Burns, technology coordinator for the McNairy County school system.

The program has been thrust into the news recently when Selmer Mayor David Robinson proposed that water bills be rounded up to the nearest dollar and half of the proceeds go to this program and half go to “last dollar” scholarships for county college seniors.

“Every child in this county should have a laptop,” Burns said.

The goals of the program are even more ambitious than this.

“We have to teach students how to learn,” Burns said.

The program also includes cooperative learning, project-based learning, creative learning and higher-order skills.

Program computer technician Leigh Ann Boyd touts the instructional styles of the program.

“Sometimes they may not get it if you are constantly drilling it or telling them, but when they can put their hands on it and actually do something, you learn better,” she said.

“It’s something all children need,” Burns said.

The program started about four years ago. It began in the fifth through eighth grades, where research shows it works best, Burns said.

It currently covers fifth and sixth graders, a few eighth graders and some freshmen, sophomores and seniors at both Adamsville and McNairy Central high schools.

It is now in 40 classrooms of about

25-30 students each, Burns said.

The One-to-One program is in a variety of types of classrooms, including special education and alternative and transition classrooms.

“We just don’t have it to enough people,” Burns said.

The technology and instructional methods of the program are being used in science, English, math and history classes.

This style of instruction is so effective that students sometimes know more than the teachers, Burns said.

One benefit of the program is that it cuts down on absenteeism and keeps kids out of trouble, Burns said.

“You don’t have as many discipline problems, truancy problems because they are interested,” Boyd added.

“Having been in the classrooms, I go by and see kids just real excited working on that laptop and it does something to me,” Burns said The program is not about learning particular software, but teaching students how to learn different software.

One-to-One uses open source software, where possible. This software is often free, which reduces costs for the program.

Two of the programs used by Oneto-One are Open Office and LibreOffice, according Boyd. Both of these programs are free and the LibreOffice allows pdf documents to be edited without purchasing the expensive Adobe software.

“The economy being what it is, free is good,” said Boyd.

In addition to Boyd, Brano Barta is also a computer technician for the program.

They sometimes go to schools together and sometimes apart.

“I couldn’t do without either one,”

Burns said.

“This should help with people giving money. We’re not going to waste their money. The money will be accounted for penny by penny. We will do everything to get free software that will do as much if not more than what they’d have to pay for,” Burns said of any water departments that participate in the roundup program.

“It’s not asking much to add a little bit to the water bill. You’ll find that change on the floor or walking out to your car or on the couch,” Burns said regarding the roundup program.

Burns believes the One-to-One program and the additional financial support that would come from the roundup program will help in attracting industry to the county.

“We will be able to get the industry. They’ll know that we are trying to be progressive here. That will make them want to come down and…be a part of what we’re doing here,” Burns said.

“I have a real passion for this,” Burns said.

He said he would talk to the mayors and boards of towns in the county.

“My door is open,” he said.

He offered to take them to the schools and let them see the results for themselves.

The laptops are equipped with open source student auditing software, so teachers can monitor which websites the students are accessing.

They also have a ticket system help desk.

“We just all want to emphasize how important it is to participate in this program so that we can give the students of McNairy County opportunities that they can embrace for their future,” Burns said in conclusion.

Student accepted to Phi Kappa Phi The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is the oldest and most selective of the many honor societies that recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education. While you must be at least a junior to be invited to membership in Phi Kappa Phi, each fall this chapter recognizes the truly outstanding students from last year’s freshman and sophomore classes. To receive this recognition, you must be in the upper 3 percent of your class and have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5.

Randal Hugh Graves currently has a 4.0 GPA. He has met the high standards for recognition of his work during his freshman and sophomore years of study at UT Martin; and is invited to be formally recognized and to receive a certificate during the fall lecture. The fall of 2011 lecture and recognition was held on last Tuesday, in the Watkins Auditorium of the Boling University Center.
