HOPE EBBS AS DEADLINE NEARS

McNairy BOE fails to approve site, funding plan for new schools By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The McNairy County Board of Education failed to choose a site for the proposed new Selmer Elementary School at its meeting last Thursday. They also failed to adopt a funding plan for SES and the proposed new school in Adamsville. Project engineer Jev Vaughn said that he talked to Greg Littlefield’s secretary, of Littlifields Surveying of Savannah, and he said she told him the field work is done and he hoped to finish up drafting work last Wednesday and get it to Vaughn either last Wednesday or last Thursday. Vaughn said he called Littlefield twice last Thursday. “As soon as I get a survey, it won’t take me long to get a site plan developed,” Vaughn said. In response to a question from board member Tony Chapman, Vaughn said the survey would not tell the board how much expense it would take to develop it, that it would require an engineering study to do that. The survey is going to provide boundary and topographic informa-

tion about the site, Vaughn said. In response to another question from Chapman, Vaughn said the survey would determine how much of the property is in a flood plain. School board chairman Frank Lacey first said that another item on planning committee agenda was to get a tax rate plan to fund the schools to the county commission, but they do not have the time to get on the presidential primary ballot in March, so they would be shooting to get it on the county general election ballot in August. “Our goal is once we get the survey to present the plan to the county commission and appropriate members of the building, budget and education committee and get an initiative on the August ballot,” Lacey said. Chapman said that a 50 day notice to the election commission was necessary in order to get an initiative on the ballot, and that means that the election commission would have to be notified in December. Lacey noted that the commission meets before the board in December. Chapman said he checked with Elections Administrator Joanie Col-

A pickup lands upside down in a creek last Thursday in Selmer after the driver lost control. Driver Justin R. Raider, 23, of Selmer lost control of a purple 1998 Chevrolet S10 on Sulphur Springs Road near Highway 64 after flipping around, landed upside down in a creek. The pickup was traveling northbound on Sulphur Springs Road when he ran off the side of the road. He apparently overcorrected and crossed into the southbound lane. The truck spun around in the air and ran off the road. It then overturned and fell into a large creek. According to the crash report by Sgt. Larry Forsythe of the Tennessee Highway Patrol, who responded to the accident, Raider was allegedly inattentive to the road. In addition to lack of due care, Raider was also cited for not wearing a seat belt and violation of financial responsibility law (lack of insurance). Raider was transported by ambulance to McNairy Regional Hospital with possible injury. The truck suffered disabling damage and was towed by Moore Brothers to their lot. Attempts to contact MRH to confirm Raider’s condition were not returned as of press time.

Cat burglar hits Truck crashes into creek Selmer Fred’s Fred’s, fell victim to a cat burglar on Nov. 6., in an incident left the officer with minor injuries, but no damage or missing items were reported at the store. The lack of damage or loss at the store can be attributed to the fact that this was no ordinary cat burglar. It was an actual cat. Our story begins on the afternoon of Nov. 6. A call went out that the alarm was going off at Fred’s, according to Selmer Police Department Patrolman Bob Pipkins. A couple of Sheriff’s deputies who happened to be in that area passed the building. They checked the building and everything was secure, but they saw a cat inside. About a half an hour later, Pipkins heard the alarm going off again. He pulled up and checked it again. At about that time, a Fred’s employee showed up. “We seen the cat and chased it because the cat was setting the alarm off, the motion detectors, and if we hadn’t got it out, it would have been setting it off all night,” Pipkins said. Pipkins said they chased the cat for at least 30 minutes until they finally got it cornered in the office. “It tried to take off again,” Pipkins said. Pipkins grabbed it, picked it up and put it outside. He said the cat was not hurt, but Pipkins was wounded by the apprehension, receiving a scratch on his hand. “It’s one of those things that you don’t have happen every day. It’s part of serve and protect,” Pipkins said. As of press time, the cat burglar’s whereabouts were unknown.

Betty and Dennie Howell of Selmer have seen a lot during their 50 years of marriage, the couple has managed to travel the world while running successful towing and bail bond businesses. Despite their exciting career paths and adventurous lifestyle, they have remained humbled by their love for God and each other. The couple credits hard work, both in their personal and professional lives, and a love for helping others for their happiness. The Howells started their towing business in 1981. They began bail bonding in 1987 and have in many ways stood as personal witnesses to the many changes that have occurred in McNairy County during that time. Dennie said that when he began towing, the job was quite different than it is today. He said early on in his career tow truck operators were relied upon as first responders as well. “Back years ago when we

started, there were no such things as EMTs or ambulance service, Dennie Howell said. “All they had back at that time was a Shackleford Funeral Home ambulance that ran to the wreck, and we were the ones that had to help extract them from the vehicles and this type of stuff, and we had some pretty bad cases.” They also stated that bonding has allowed them to see some of the best and worst of the community. They recalled their decision to turn down the Mary Winkler case when it came before them, but said that they had to deal with many other difficult and rewarding cases. Betty recalled a particularly troubling case where one of the men they had bonded murdered his wife while on bail. She said that they knew the man’s family and there was no indication that he would be violent. “That case made me want

O. H. “Shorty” Freeland wrote the book “Ray Blanton and I” for two reasons. The first is to show the people of Tennessee that former Gov. Ray Blanton did not do anything to deserve going to prison. The second is to raise money for a Ray Blanton memorial in Adamsville. There is currently no such memorial, and Freeland said all money made from the book will go to this purpose. Freeland was a member of Blanton’s staff during his term as governor from 1975 to 1979. He, along with the 95 county advisory committees, was in charge of hiring and firing for state jobs. These committee members provided the instigation to write the book. “I wrote the chairman of each one of them (the committees)…I got back some letters that got returned to me and I’ve got about 40 or 45 that did return that I’m going to send them a book free. I told them that I was thinking about doing a book, would they be interested if I did and I got a lot of beautiful letters back, saying ‘Yes, we would love to have the book. One lady or two of them told me ‘Not only do I want one, I want three because I’ve got children. Each one of them wants one.’’ The book is being published by Hill-Helen Group of Jackson and was released earlier this year. The 250page book was whittled down from the original 965 pages. Freeland had been thinking about doing the book and debating whether to do it or not and made his decision after hearing about a booksigning at the Savannah public library. After calling them, he was told that he would not be able to talk to the author, but that he would be able to speak with Judy Majors, who had published her own children’s book. “I told her, I’m Shorty Freeland and I’m contemplating writing a book on Ray Blanton and myself. I don’t really know how to start it. I’m planning to send a copy if I do it to every county in the state committee, that was on our committees and so she said, “Yeah, Mr. Freeland, that sounds interesting, so I’ll tell you what. Could I come see you… I told her, now Judy, the only way I can do it, the only way is to get a tape recorder, which I’ve got and when I feel like talking, I’ll talk. It may be East Tennessee today and it may be West Tennessee tomorrow or halfway through the tape. Whatever comes to my mind, I’m going to do it and I want you to type it up and I want it double-spaced so I can write in between there, so she said ‘Yeah, that sounds interesting to me, Mr. Freeland. I’d like to do that for you,” Freeland remembered. After finishing the 965 pages, Majors said, “Mr. Freeland, I’ve gone as far as I can go.” “What am I gonna do with all of this?” Freeland thought. Freeland and Blanton got their start in politics in 1964, when Blanton successfully ran for state representative. Freeland recounted an early encounter with a farmer. “One of the first times he stopped to shake hands with this man out in the field plowing and he told Ray, said, ‘Mr. Blanton, you want to be my representative’ and Ray said ‘Yes sir.’ ‘Dress like it,’ the man said. From that point on, he wore a shirt and tie and coat. Now it got hot…When we got back in those cars, of course, we took those coats off,” Freeland remembered. Freeland continued his work with Ray Blanton when he was running for Congress in 1966. “Ray and Betty (his wife) was sit-

Selmer Honors Veterans Staff Photos by Christen Coulon and Janet Rail

(Below) McNairy County Sheriff Guy Buck, a former Air Force MP, and Former Army Sgt. Richard Fleming, commander of the American Legion Post 162 in Selmer lay a wreath to remember our fallen soldiers at the war memorial on the courthouse lawn. The City of Selmer paid tribute to veterans last Saturday with its annual wreath laying ceremony and Veteran’s Day Parade. The event began at 9 a.m. with the wreath laying ceremony, which was attended by many former and current McNairy County service members. The parade began at the courthouse in downtown Selmer and proceeded down an American Flag lined Court Avenue and featured several vehicles including a Korean War era Jeep, emergency vehicles, members of the local American Legion Command Post 162, and the award-winning McNairy Central High School Band. Veteran’s Day is held each year to signify the signing of an armistice on Nov. 11, 1918 which began at 11 a.m. ending what at the time had been called The Great War (World War I).

Teacher of the Year Allison makes class fun, interesting by Amber Price Staff Writer

It is often said that the best teachers are the ones that genuinely love teaching. McNairy County is home to many such educators, and McNairy County Teacher of the Year, Sarah Allison, is certainly among them. Allison was named McNairy County Teacher of the Year during the last school year. “I was really surprised, because there are a lot of good teachers here,” she said. “But I was honored and really appreciated being recognized.” Allison was recently honored at the 13th Annual Citizen of the Year Banquet sponsored by the Selmer Rotary Club and Selmer Lions Club. McNairy County School Superintendent, Charlie Miskelly presented the Teacher of the Year award to Allison at the event, which took place on Oct. 25. Allison teaches Biology I at McNairy Central High School, and has in recent years taught Advanced Placement Biology as well. She has also previously served as chairman of the Science Department for several years. Allison currently cosponsors the Student Government Association as well. McNairy Central is more than just a place of employment to Allison. She is also a 2001 graduate of the high school. Allison received her education degree from The University of Tennessee at Martin, and began teaching in the fall of 2005. She has also earned a masters degree in school counseling from Freed-Hardeman University. Allison’s history as a student at MCHS helps her relate to many of the students that she teaches. “I was in band. I took as many honors courses and advanced placement courses as I could. I pretty much just loved school,” she said. When asked why she decided to become a teacher, Allison responded, “I had a lot of really

ward with it. I was very hopeful that we could have went forward with it because with it, obviously we have a plan for a school…I was very hopeful that they would have said, ‘Yes, we will give it to you if the voters approve it. I see no reason why the Town of Selmer would not commit to that for a school that’s going to have the name Selmer Elementary on it. I wish that they had done so, so that we might have

to just throw up my hands and say I am through with this,” Betty Howell said. But they did not quit. Through the years, the Howells dealt with many cases and at times they were able to see the lasting good they were doing for the people they worked with. They said that they have had many chances to help people who, although they may have made a bad choice, were basically good people. “Some of those people, you look at them after you have helped them and you know you have made a friend for life,” Betty Howell said. The couple said that during their time in the bail bonding industry they have seen how drugs have taken a negative toll on the community. When they started they said that there were very few drug cases but the problem has become much greater in recent years. “It doesn’t matter which direction you go, what side of town you go, it’s there,” Dennie said about the drug problem in the community. In many ways, both of the couple’s busi-

awesome teachers in high school.” She specifically named psychology and science teachers Karen Barclay and PJ White as being inspirational in high school, and Betty Kirkman in middle school. Allison describes her teaching style as being pretty relaxed. “We try to have a good time, but still learn at the same time,” she said. “I like to do as much hands on as I can, and use as much visual aid as I can.” Making class even more interesting, are the pets available for students to interact with. Two snakes, Mitch and Lilly, reside in the classroom along with two bearded dragons, Norman and Carly. There are also glow fish there for the students to see. Edy Mendez, senior at McNairy Central, commented on his experience in an Advanced Placement Biology class taught by Allsion. “Mrs. Allison is a really good teacher. She is fun to be around and makes class interesting. It does take hard work to be in the class,” he said. When asked to share her favorite thing about teaching, Allison answered, “Seeing the students grow and mature during their four years. I think it’s really neat to be around them as freshman, and also to see them graduate. A lot of them already have career plans in mind. I just enjoy being around teenagers.” Allison hopes that students leave her class with an overall appreciation for science in addition to problem solving skills that would apply not only to science, but to life in general. “A lot of them will be going to college, and so they need to know how to study as well,” she said. “I feel like I’m helping to prepare them for their future careers,” said Allison. I try to teach them responsibilities, teach them some life skills, and while I’m at it, teach them some biology as well.”

been able to present the county commission and then they could say, ‘Yes, we will put it on the ballot or yes, we won’t put it on the ballot’ because I think that most of the commissioners who are at least on the education committee know that we have a plan, we have a plan for a school and two sites. “It’s just a matter of us getting the property to put it on…I would think that if we could get a commitment from most of the towns that we should be able to convince the county commission to put it on the ballot, and at least let the people decide in March because if we wait un-

til August, it’s just six more months down the road that we’ve got to wait to do something to get started on relieving some of the overcrowding in our schools and get these teachers so they’ve got classrooms—they don’t have to teach in the library and in the gym…and I think it’s up to us to do that. I think it’s on us and I don’t think we’ve done a very good job,” said Chapman. “I will do my very best to get this survey completed and get something done,” Lacey said. In other actions, the board adopted the

nesses allow them to provide a necessary public service to the community, and both agreed that it was helping people that made their difficult work worth while. “We feel that we have provided a service that is needed and have helped...a bunch of people,” Dennie said. “We have made some money doing it, McNairy County has been good to us, but if it was not customer oriented...and if I didn’t feel like I was helping somebody, I probably wouldn’t be in it.” While their chosen professions have recently been the fodder for reality television shows, the Howells dismissed any similarities between themselves and their television counterparts. Saying that television shows such as “Repo Men” and “Dog the Bounty Hunter” are just that, shows. When asked about the secret for their success the Howells said there was no secret. They attribute their success to hard work and sacrifice. Dennie said that there were several weekends that Betty was home while he had to stay out driving his tow truck. “Many times you spend your holidays helping someone else instead of being able to spend that time with your family,” Dennie Howell said of the towing business.

has paid off though, and has allowed them to pursue other interests in their lives such as travel. The couple discovered their love for travel after a trip to Hawaii and have since acquired more than a few stamps on their passports as well as many stories from around the world. “We started in Hawaii, then went to Italy (several times), Hong Kong, the French Riviera, Switzerland, Germany, Austria...and we went to England, Scotland and Wales on our last trip,” Betty Howell said. As they recounted some of the stories about their travels, the couple would remember other locations they had traveled and recalled many other interesting stories for each location. “We are just so thankful that the Lord has allowed us to visit all of these places,” Betty Howell stated. The couple recalled some of the more interesting locations that they had visited including the Amalfi Coast in Italy and Stonehenge in England, but Betty said that if she had to choose one place to go back to it would be the Sistine Chapel in Saint Peter’s Square. “My number one place is the U.S.A.,” Dennie said. “It always feels good when you are coming back and that runway pops up and you know you are home.”

Emergency workers receive important training on missing children By Christen Coulon Editor

Strickland, Swims, and Buck with the certificate received for training.

Staff Photo by Christen Coulon

McNairy County Sheriff Guy Buck has just completed the prestigious Chief Executive Officer Training Seminar, held at the headquarters of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in Alexandria, Va. Buck is the fourth member of his department to complete this training making his department one of only 3 agencies in Tennessee to have such a training partnership with NCMEC. Buck said that Chief Deputy Allen Strickland, Dana Swims, director of McNairy County E/911, and her assistant Kirby Redmon have also received this training. “This is eye opening, career changing training,” Buck said. The training was paid for by NCMEC, so no county funds were needed to facilitate this training. After receiving an invitation to attend the specifically designed training seminar for Law Enforcement Ex-

ecutives and 911 Emergency Center managers, each trainee traveled to Alexandria, Va. as a guest of the NCMEC. These four individuals are now among the more than 5000 nationally who have completed this training. “As a communications center, we are the actual first responders when a child goes missing,” Swims said. “It’s our duty to react quickly and aid law enforcement in bringing that child home. It has been an honor to work alongside representatives from NCMEC while completing this partnership program. We feel that as telecommunicators, we are better prepared to handle calls of this nature, although it is our wish that we never have to.” The Missing Children Seminar for Chief Executives was designed to provide attendees a better understanding of the problem of missing and sexually exploited children. Created in 1997 and funded by the United States Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency, The CEO training discusses the

needed steps in implementing best practices for call takers, responding officers, investigators, and command staff. “The McNairy County Emergency Communications Center is the third center in the State and 38th in the nation to complete the necessary steps for the 9-1-1 Call Center Partner Program,” Swims said. “If you have tips to aid in finding a missing person, or suspect exploitation of a child. please call 911, (731) 645-3406, or 1-800-THE-LOST. “This has been one of the most eye opening experiences for me in my 25 years as a law enforcement officer,” said Buck. “To have been selected in itself, was a great honor, but to be able to bring this knowledge back and put it into practice, is a plus.” Once candidates are selected to attend, all travel and lodging expenses during training are covered by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children through a grant by OJJDP.

Tennessee Quality Homecare & Hospice Celebrate National Homecare and Hospice Month Cathy Crowell, sister of the late Keith Nowlin, says that, “Some people misunderstand hospice and everything it stands for. We could not have done it without Tennessee Quality.” A strong family that has endured much heartache, decided to call upon Tennessee Quality once they realized they needed some extra help. “Today, Tennessee Quality is like family to us. We received an invitation to a memorial service in honor of their patients and families they have worked with over the last year. Keith had the best care, and was very happy and relieved that Tennessee Quality took such great care of him. He was never afraid to die, he was afraid of getting there. Tennessee Quality Hospice eased that transition not only for Keith, but the entire family,” says Crowell. To echo the statements of Cathy, the staff of Tennessee Quality looks at the Nowlin family as just that, family. They strive to be there for medical, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. “When Keith passed away, they stayed with us until the next morning. This was greatly appreciated especially in a time such as that. I would recommend Tennessee Quality to anyone that asked,” said Crowell. There are times when you may need health care in the comfort of your home environment. Tennessee Quality is committed to bringing compassionate, quality health care home to you. We serve those who are acutely or terminally ill, are temporarily disabled or who require long term care. From newborns to seniors, our patients get the health care they need, where they need it most—at home. Established in 1982, Tennessee Quality Homecare & Hospice continues to carry on a tradition of being a leader in Tennessee’s homecare industry. Being a local agency, we are able to offer quality care with the personal touch only a good friend or neighbor can provide.

Bethel Springs government works to improve water, sewer issues Bethel board passes sewer ordinance By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The Bethel Springs Mayor and Board of Aldermen passed a sewer ordinance at its Nov. 7 meeting. The ordinance requires any household within the city limits of Bethel Springs to hook up to city water, but it allows wells to be used for livestock or outside use provided they are not discharged into the city sewer system. Homeowners are required to connect to the sewer system if it is provided. Septic tanks or other means of collecting waste water are not permitted. It prohibits water from any source other than that provided by the Bethel Springs Water Department from run-

ning through the city sewer system. It also prohibits tampering with the sewer system. Anyone violating the ordinance may be sued for damages, and anyone who refuses to connect to the sewer when it was free must do so at their own expense and pay monthly sewer and water payments back to when the original sewer was turned on. This ordinance was passed on first reading and will become law upon one more passage. “These people that have gotten out here and who really think they got away with everything. They’ve put in a well and they haven’t hooked up and bragged about, ‘I’m not paying my water bill, why are you paying yours?’

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

When they get through paying their water bill, we’ll see how much they’re laughing,” Cox said. In response to a member of the audience who asked if someone had to hook up to the sewer if they had a brand new septic tank, Cox said state law would not allow the use of the septic tank if a sewer is available. Gary Bizzell said that new septic tanks could be put in everyone’s yard in town for $50,000. Cox said some lots are too small to put a septic tank and the health department won’t give them a permit for one. “What are we gonna do when our bills are so high that you can’t rent a house and you can’t sell a house to get out because nobody wants a water bill

and sewer bill that’s as high as an electric bill?” Bizzell asked. In response to a question from the audience, City Clerk Deborah Sullivan explained that a total of around 16 people either refused sewer service from the beginning or disconnected it. However, she said since there are about 40 water customers outside the city limits, there were about 53 people who have city water who are not hooked up to the sewer. “To me it’s just not fair when part of the city has to pay the whole bill and there’s no plans in the future to put it out there for the rest of us,” said one audience member. Cox replied that the only way to do that would be to get another grant.

water it uses, but Bethel water customers will still pay their bills to Bethel, under the plan. “Bethel will still be in charge of the water system,” Moore said. Selmer would furnish the water, but Bethel would still fix all the leaks, send out the bills and collect all the money from water customers, Moore said. Water from Selmer would cost $2.01 per thousand gallons. Buying water from Selmer will save the city the expense for chemicals, Cox said. “We will reduce our costs,” said Vice-Mayor Bob Graham. “We have got to do something,” Moore said. This matter will also have to be approved by the Selmer Board of Aldermen. In other news from the meeting, the board approved changes to their curfew. From Sunday through Thursday, the curfew is 9:30 p.m. for anyone under 18 years old walking down the

street. On Fridays and Saturdays, the curfew is still 11 p.m. The curfew was previously 11 p.m. for everyone walking down the streets on all nights. Because the city sanitation budget is about $500 in the red for this month and the state prohibits this, the board voted to raise garbage fees by $1.75 per month. Rates were raised on the town in January, but it absorbed this raise. The contractor raised the city’s rates again in September. Cox noted that even though the city passed an ordinance requiring everyone in the city to have a 911 sign (a readable street address so emergency workers can find a house), they do not. She and Police Chief stressed the importance of having one and urged everyone to make sure they have a readable 911 sign. They also authorized the formation of a Parks and Recreation Board in order to promote the use of the Community Center and the city’s parks and recreation facilities.

Bethel to buy Selmer water By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The Bethel Springs Board of Alderman voted to negotiate a deal to buy water from Selmer at their Nov. 7 meeting. “We are sitting on a keg of dynamite with our well down here. We’ve got one out and one old one that could go out at any time. The only emergency water we could get is running a fire hose down to Selmer’s fire hydrant. This is a very serious situation. We have got to make some quick decisions. We don’t know if we will have water tomorrow,” said Mayor Kay Cox. One well was dug in 1964 and the other in the mid-1970s, according to city employee Benny Moore. A bearing has fallen down into the pump, Moore said. Lane Central could pull it out for $5,100. They could fix it for $38,000 to $65,000, depending on how it is done. “Some engineering has still got to

be done to make sure everything will work. That’s got to go to the state,” Moore said. He said getting the system set up to carry Selmer water would cost between $20-25,000. Although Bethel would be purchasing its water from Selmer, it would still have its distribution system, Moore said. “We done some figuring and stuff on what it costs us to produce 1,000 gallons versus what it costs to buy it from Selmer, which to me is a nobrainer because this water system is going to have to spend a quarter of a million dollars in the next few years,” Moore said. Just to do a clear well would cost $90,000, according to Moore. The grant the city has applied for the purpose of upgrading the water lines could possibly be used to renovate the water tank, which will cost $100,000, Moore said. It’s been 20 years since it has been renovated, Moore added. Bethel will only pay Selmer for the

Bethel board accepts Payne resignation By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The Bethel Board of Aldermen formally accepted former Alderman Sherri Payne’s resignation at its Nov. 7 meeting. She resigned at last month’s board meeting, but Mayor Kay Cox wanted to give Payne time to reconsider. The board will have 60 days to name a replacement, according to the city’s charter. Anyone who would like to apply should turn their name in to city hall. As of Nov. 7, two people have applied, according to Mayor Kay Cox. Cox outlined the duties of an alderman. “We want everybody that applies

to understand what the alderman’s job is,” Cox said. Cox quoted 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, or to direct or request the appointment of any person to , or the removal from, any office or position of employment or to interfere in any way with the performance duties by any officer or employee. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the board from conducting such inquiries into the operation of the town government and the conduct of the town’s affairs as it may deem necessary.” “What that means is that they can

come to us if an alderman has a problem, they can come to me because I make out the agenda, or they can talk to the other aldermen and tell us what the problem is and then we will discuss the problem, and then if we can’t decide it any other way, we’ll have to bring it up at a meeting,” Cox said. In response to a question from Gary Bizzell as to whether there is a chain of command, Cox explained that the Mayor is at the top, but anyone that does not get satisfaction from the mayor can go to the board. Any city employee or officer that deals with a matter outside their routine job duties must bring these matters to the Mayor. Cox gave the example of the street department. The Mayor is at the top

of the chain of command, followed by Benny Moore, followed by John Gage. Moore plans the work for the day for Gage, who then attempts to finish it. If other employees have a problem, they bring it to Gage. If Gage cannot settle it, then they bring it to Moore. If he cannot settle it, it then goes to Cox. Important matters, such as those that affect the finances of the town, are decided by the Mayor, Cox explained. The board is there to act as a body on matters that are important to the town, that have come up in the prior month or will come up in the succeeding month, Cox said. The Mayor said that the board has a working meeting the Tuesday before the regular meeting at 5:30 p.m.

In a 10-minute election night meeting Nov. 8, the Selmer Board of Aldermen removed the distance requirement from residences for beer sales, along with several other changes to city ordinance. Previous city ordinance had required any establishment with a beer license to be located 300 feet from a residence. Mayor David Robinson explained Wednesday that the board had invalidated the requirement by ignoring it in several instances in the past. The board also adopted the National Fire Protection Association 2012 edition of the Uniform Fire Code. This replaces the 2003 edition of the same fire code. The Fire Chief has the authority to enforce the provisions of this code and to recommend variances to the board if they preserve the spirit of the code, secure the public safety and do justice. This code prohibits gas trucks being parked or operated within the central business district or in residential areas except for the purpose of delivering gasoline. Each violation of the code carries a fine of up to $50 dollars. The board approved several zoning proposals. The board rezoned an area along Mulberry Avenue that was previously occupied by Kentucky Fried Chicken from low density residential to general business. A second zoning ordinance rezoned an area bounded by Pharr Avenue, North Fifth Street, Warren Avenue and North Sixth Street from medium density residential to medium density residential/duplex. All of these actions were on first reading and will become law once they are passed on second reading, according to the city charter. The board passed an amendment to city ordinance allowing special events signs to include community events and festivals, and allowing off-site signs for them. This was the second reading of this amendment and it will become law. In addition, the board passed on second reading an amendment to city ordinance requiring a permit for door-to-door vendors.

Why or why not?

Charles Langford (Jackson, Tenn.): “No, turkey is a Thanksgiving tradition. It wouldn’t matter if it was $1,000 a pound, I would just go out and kill one if I had to.”

John Glidewell (Selmer): “I don’t think so, I have already got it ready to go.”

Earnie Heins (Selmer): “Yes, in general, everything seems to be higher this year.”

Treva Parker (Selmer): “I don’t think so, I shopped around and tried to find a bargain. This year, I ended up just getting a smaller one.”

Erica Briggs (Selmer): “No, I don’t cook.”

Stephanie Morrison (Selmer): “No, I don’t eat turkey. We usually have ham or hen.”

McNairy County Healthcare

Opportunity or Responsibility By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor

Have you ever thought about the difference between an opportunity and a responsibility? Well this week on Sunday morning, as you will often find me, I was listening to Charles Stanley and his message was on opportunity. That set my mind to thinking and my pen to writing. I have a responsibility to my administrator, Justin Broadway and my director or nursing, Nichole King to do my job to the very best of my ability. I owe the staff and residents of McNairy County Health Care Center my time and the responsibility of doing everything I can to show them they are appreciated and respected for the job they do every day. However, along with my responsibility comes great opportunity. I have the privilege and opportunity to share the lives of all one hundred plus residents at our home. By doing so, I have learned many of the struggles and joys of their

BLANTON FROM PAGE 1A

ting in our living room and he said, ‘You know what Shorty—I think I’m going to run for Congress’ and I said, Ray, that is absolutely the craziest thing I’ve ever heard you say.,” Freeland said. “Mr. Tom (Murray, the incumbent), well he’s going to retire,” Blanton said. “Yeah, I’ll tell you what’s going to happen. Six or eight of you are going to get into the primary and when he gets it loaded, he’s going to turn in his papers for another term and there’s no way in the world you can beat him. It’s just impossible, and he said, ‘Well, I’m gonna try,” Freeland said. Freeland’s prediction about Murray’s running for re-election proved accurate, but not about the end result. Murray, an ally of the Memphis Crump machine, did run but was defeated by Blanton in the Democratic primary. They covered 15,000 miles in six weeks. “We would get up at 5 o’clock in the morning and head for the factories. We would greet the people going to work. When they start leaving work, forget’em. He (Blanton) did the handshaking and I did the passing out of the literature and making notes,” Freeland said. After the second day of campaigning, Freeland told Blanton, “Ray, we are going to have to do some changes. I’m going to get us some Visine. My eyes are bloodshot in the morning and yours are too and he said okay. So we go down the road squirting our eyes with Visine.” Blanton would shake hands with people, while Freeland would write their names and other information about them in a notebook. “If he was talking to some gentleman and he mentioned his wife and two sons or three sons, I’d jot that down. If they had names, I’d put those names on it and then we had two girls at Blanton’s office, I’d turn this (the notebook) over to them and I’d get me a new one, and that’s how we handled the campaign out there and sometimes we’d run into people the second time and they’d say, ‘Mr. Blanton, how do you remember us? We can’t figure it out, you know—you talked about my son playing Little League,’” Freeland said. Once Blanton secured the Democratic nomination, he defeated the Republican nominee, Julius Hurst, also of McNairy County. “Mr. Hurst was a very smart gentleman, a very talkative and make you think black was white, and of course, the school thing was going on. He wanted to build one school and Adamsville wanted to keep their school. We worked with Michie and Ramer to build a school for the three of us and they backed out and went with Selmer. They left Adamsville by themselves,” Freeland said. Hurst was originally projected as the winner of the race, according to Freeland. However, there were three Memphis precincts that were failing to report. There were about 2,000 votes cast in each and Blanton won between 1990 and 1995 votes in them, Freeland discovered. “When we got to Savannah, Gene (Blanton) got on the phone and called Jackson. They told us, yeah, it’s here on TV now, Blanton has been declared the winner. Well, from that point on, we celebrated. I guess maybe too much because once I stepped off the sidewalk, I didn’t know where the pavement was,” Freeland said. Blanton served in Congress until Tennessee lost a congressional district after the 1972 redistricting and the legislature decided to eliminate Blanton’s district. Blanton’s district was merged with that of popular Congressman Ed Jones, who would have been difficult for Blanton to defeat. The Democrats needed a candidate to oppose incumbent Senator Howard Baker. Blanton decided to enter this race. He was resoundingly defeated in the huge 1972 Republican landslide that saw Republican President Richard Nixon carry 90 of

INDEPENDENT APPEAL v PAGE 11A

Tennessee’s 95 counties. Baker received over 60 percent of the vote. “He sort of went into recluse…It sort of hurt him,” Freeland remembers. However, this race increased Blanton’s statewide name recognition, making him the favorite for the 1974 Democratic gubernatorial nomination. One night Blanton told Freeland, “Shorty, you know what? I think I’m gonna run for Governor.” “I thought, Oh hell. Ray, you know that’s gonna be a tough race, because there’s five or six in the primary. He said ‘I’m gonna do it anyway’,” Freeland said. Freeland joined the campaign late. He went to work at the headquarters. Seeing the disorganization and believing Blanton to be behind, he had to make some changes. He fired one worker, saying, “Young lady, I feel for you, but you are looking at a guy after Truman dropped the bomb, I knew I wasn’t going to Japan in the invasion. I became the biggest goof-off you’ve ever known. I know when a person’s goofing off and you can’t kid me,” Freeland said. The campaign had a unique strategy for distributing literature. “I had a secretary in my office. I said, call all of the committee chairmen. I want ‘em here in the office. I want to talk to them…I told them I said next week on a Thursday. I want you to come to the office…. and I’m gonna give you bumper stickers and posters for the poll workers and all the stuff you need… They all came in and I told all of them, I said, You don’t use any of this now. You take it home with you. Get with your committee and starting Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I want it all over Tennessee, posters put around telephone poles, all of it the same time, from down here in Memphis up to East Tennessee…Boy, I’ll tell you what, you talk about something beautiful. Monday, man I drove around Nashville. I said man, we are covered everywhere. Ray Blanton was everywhere. I think that was one of the things that really put us over,” Freeland said. With just 23 percent of the vote, Blanton defeated 11 other candidates, including wealthy Knoxville banker Jake Butcher. After Blanton assumed office, Freeland, along with the 95 county advisory committees, were in charge of hiring and firing in political appointments. “I got over 300 phone calls a day,” Freeland said. Blanton told Freeland that the only complaint he heard against him was that he was slow to return phone calls. Freeland had his secretary bring his phone logs into his office. They showed that Freeland had received around 300 phone calls over the past two days. “You get more calls than I do,” Blanton told Freeland. “You can have every one of them, Ray,” Freeland replied. Blanton declined saying, “Shorty you’re doing a good job. Hang in there.” Freeland described jobs as like a cake. “We’ve got a big cake here. We’re beginning to cut it…It’s gonna be split. We’re gonna try our best to split it evenly,” Freeland said. “Shorty Freeland is political 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Blanton said. After the investigations of the Blanton Administration by the FBI and IRS began, Freeland was not immune. One Blanton staffer told Freeland that his name came up in an interview with members of the FBI and IRS. “They sat there and they said, you know what? We checked that guy Shorty Freeland from his head to his toes. I think we even checked him before he was conceived. We can’t find a...thing on him. We don’t know whether he is the smartest (expletive deleted) thing on the hill or the dumbest…We can’t touch him,” they said. “I could have told them that,” Freeland said. Blanton was not so lucky. He chose not to run for reelection in 1978 and was succeeded by Lamar Alexander, who he defeated four years earlier.

In January 1979, the State Pardon’s Board made a series of controversial pardons that some saw as the product of politics or bribery. This generated outrage among members of both political parties. Since the state constitution was vague on when a newly elected governor should be sworn in, Alexander took the oath of office three days early, with Democrats Liet. Gov. John Wilder and House Speaker Ned McWherter participating. Blanton was investigated but never charged on the pardon’s issue, but was convicted of selling liquor licenses and served a term in federal prison. After he got out of prison, Blanton ran for Congress in 1988, but finished far behind Democratic nominee John Tanner, gaining only 7 percent of the vote. A movie and book was made about Pardons and Paroles Board head Marie Ragghianti, with Fred Thompson playing himself. He was Ragghianti’s lawyer. Freeland is by trade an engineer who also has a master’s degree in Industrial Management and has worked at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He currently serves as President of FM Consulting in Savannah. “We had a man out of McNairy County serve as a state representative, he served in Congress eight years, ran for Senator, got beat, ran for governor, served as governor of Tennessee for four years. When we went in, we had a $50 million deficit in the budget, when we left we had a $40 million surplus, and of course, we built the Bypass around Selmer and we did the fourlane from here (Adamsville) to Milledgeville and extended it from here to the county line,” Freeland said summing up the Blanton legacy.

Milledgeville meets to save post office By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Milledgeville met again to save its post office on Nov. 8. About 80 people attended the meeting, according to Mayor Dannie Kennedy. “It was a very good meeting, raised some questions,” said Kennedy. The possibility of using Milledgeville as a hub was raised at the meeting. Milledgeville is located between two state highways. “We are helping them to see,” Kennedy said. Kennedy said that there will be a notice posted as to whether the post office will close at the end of the month. If this happens there will be some appeal forms available at the post office. If the U.S. Postal Service makes a preliminary decision to close the facility, there will be 60 days for public comment. USPS must then review the comments before making a final decision. Anyone who is regularly served by the post office can then appeal within 30 days. The Postal Regulatory Commission then has 120

days to rule on an appeal. This is an independent agency that exercises regulatory oversight over the USPS. Sandra Quick, Manager of Post Office Operations and Greg Jones from Operations Support were in attendance to answer questions about why the Milledgeville Post Office was on the study list. Quick explained to the audience that the criteria for being placed on the study list were things like how many customers come in and conduct business with the post office and how many letters go in and out. She said citizens at the meeting raised concerns about the community’s identity remaining intact if the post office closed. Quick also said that people in attendance argued that the post office should be spared because it was located on the crossroads of 2 state highways. She explained that there were several post offices in the vicinity if the Milledgeville facility closed. She also explained that if the 45 post office boxes were replaced with street delivery, they would be a small proportion of the 600 stops that a rural carrier typically makes daily. “They were just as nice as they could be to me. They were very nice people,” she concluded.

The Cardinals overcame a 21 day layoff and a 14 point deficit to beat the Cascade Champions 17-14 last Friday night at Adamsville’s Lendon Martin Memorial Stadium in the second round of the Class 2A State Playoffs. “We had some execution problems early on on offense,” said Cardinal Head Coach Brandon Gray, “but we overcame it and won against a good team.” Junior kicker Dustin Plunk’s game winning, 22-yard field goal split the uprights with only three seconds remaining in the game, giving the Cards a thrilling three point victory after scoring 17 unanswered points. “Great job of battling adversity and great job of overcoming it,” Cardinal defensive coordinator Renard Woodmore told his team after the win. “Nobody ever panicked... That is a sign of heart, and that is a sign of a championship football team.” The adversity Woodmore spoke of began early in the game, and Gray thought the way their players handled it was encouraging. “To me, a sign of a good team is when you have some adversity and you’re able to fight through it,” said Gray. “To me, that’s the mark of a man. When things aren’t going right you bow your back and keep going. We’ve got some kids out here that are going to be fine young men.” Adamsville won the coin toss, but they deferred and Cascade opted to receive. The Cardinals kicked off and their struggles began. The Champions scored the game’s first touchdown on a 5-yard run to go up 7-0. It culminated a 12-play, 75-yard drive that saw Cascade convert on four consecutive third downs.

Adamsville Cardinal players and coaches shake hands with their opponents from Cascade High School after defeating the Champions 17-14 last Friday night in what can only be described as a thrilling game between two good football teams. The Cardinals fumbled three plays into their first possession, giving Cascade possession on Adamsville’s 37-yard-line. The Champions chewed nearly five minutes off the clock on a nine-play drive that resulted in a 1-yard touchdown run, giving Cascade a 14-0 lead with 1:08 remaining in the first quarter. The crowd was stunned, but Adamsville began shaking off the rust of a three week layoff on their next drive. The Cardinals’ offense ran smoothly, picking up five first downs before cutting Cascade’s lead to 14-7. Hayden Reece had two big carries on the drive, including Adamsville’s first touchdown on a 15-yard run. The Champions charged down the field on their ensuing drive, appearing to be on their way to another touchdown, but the Cardinal redzone defense dialed up an interception, courtesy of John Reed Odom, and got the ball back with 6:22 to go before the half. AHS worked the ball inside

the Champions’ 20-yard-line before facing fourth down decision. The Cardinals opted to go for it, and Dalton Plunked completed a pass to Jalen Kendall in the end zone, but he was ruled out of bounds and the Cardinals turned the ball over on downs with 2:38 left in the half. Kasey Hurley came up with Adamsville’s second interception in as many Champion drives, but with only seconds left in the second quarter the Cardinals were unable to put points on the board going into halftime. Cascade forced a three-andout on Adamsville’s first drive of the second half. The Champions, once again, appeared to be on their way to points, but when facing a fourth down inside the Cardinal’s 20-yard-line, they chose to kick a field goal and missed. The Cardinal faithful erupted and momentum swung AHS’s way. Six different Adamsville players got carries, leading

Cardinals, Panthers Part II By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Their dramatic finish against Cascade in the second round of the Class 2A State Playoffs moved Adamsville another step closer in their march to become the 2011 State Champions. Waiting to trip the Cardinals up in the quarterfinals, the Riverside Panthers will journey the 36 miles from Decatur County to AHS for their second showdown with Adamsville this season. The two teams played in Adamsville’s first District 15A game of the year on Sept. 2. The first game resulted in a 7-6 victory for Adamsville after John Reed Odom made a game saving tackle when the Panthers attempted a 2-point conversion with little to no time remaining in the game played at Riverside the second week of the season. The Cardinals and Panthers are familiar foes. The all-time series record between the teams stands at 16-13 in favor of Riverside, but the teams have never met in the playoffs. “They have a good coaching staff. I think three them have been head coaches,” said Cardinal Head Coach Brandon Gray. “They’re always ready for us, and it’s become a good rivalry. This game will come down to execution.” Under the leadership of Gray, Adamsville has executed well against the Panthers, winning five of the last six meetings between the teams. Despite their recent successes against Riverside, Cardinal players and coaches will not be looking ahead to the semi-finals. “We’re more explosive on offense than they are...” said Gray “We just have to make sure we don’t have any mistakes or turn the ball over. We have to get back in the groove, and I honestly think we can do that.”

The Ramer Eagles traveled out to Bethel Springs for a heated county rival matchup. The final scores of the night favored the Lady Eagles 35-16 and the Rebels 45-44. In the boys game, the Bethel Springs Rebels danced in their showdown against their top county competitor, the Ramer Eagles, and won a nail-biting game by one point. Ramer made a major comeback aided by success beyond the three-point line, but lost 45-44. Bethel’s Austin Pace tipped off against Kameron Atkins, who gave Ramer the first possession

with an airborne pass. After a pass from Christian Brown, Atkins put the first points on the scoreboard with a quick two point bank shot. The first quarter was evenly matched with each team scoring eight points. Bethel took a tremendous lead in the second and Ramer spent most of the game catching up. This game had the crowd anxious and on the edge of their seats. What raised many to their feet was the comeback that took place in the fourth quarter. The Eagles scored 22 points in the last quarter alone, as Brown whaled three-point shots from

It’s almost Turkey Day and we’re in the midst of a terrific football season with exciting things happening in the NFL and NCAA, and to a more local extent, with Adamsville moving on in the state playoffs. I usually begin to feel guilty this time of year and trust me, it’s not because I gorged myself on the Thanksgiving feast by stuffing my face with mashed potatoes, white and dark meat, and all the other fixin’s. It’s because I consider myself an avid sports fan, and somehow I always seem to overlook or underplay the beginning of the basketball season. Not this year though, my friends. Even the lack of NBA highlights hasn’t helped it slip my mind. I’m watching a college basketball game as I write this. I’m thumbing through junior high basketball statistics. I’m looking over high school schedules. I’m ready to go. The season is upon us and I’m here to tell you, it’s going to be grand. There’s nothing better than listening to rubber squeak on hardwood floors while student sections chant so loud players can hardly hear themselves think. There will be dunks and buzzer beaters, ally-oops and triple-doubles, defensive battles and high scoring shootouts. In my opinion, there are no sports as pure as high school and college basketball. For my money, there’s nothing more exciting either. On the collegiate level, Memphis and Vanderbilt brought some hope to the Volunteer State coming into the season ranked in the top 10, but Tennessee Head Coach Pat Summit will bring the state pride and inspiration as she battles early onset dementia while continuing to coach her beloved Lady Vols in her 38th year at UT-Knoxville. On the local level, some are saying this year’s crop of junior high players as a whole is the most talented bunch this county has ever seen. As far as the boys go; Ramer, Bethel, Selmer... I’ve seen them all play and they’ve all got skills. Those head to head matchups will be worth the price of admission. On the lady’s side, Michie and Selmer look to be the frontrunners, but Adamsville, Ramer, and Bethel are competitive teams that aren’t going to lay down for anyone. On top of that, McNairy Central’s boys’ team is loaded with seniors, and its girls’ team is coming off a 25-8 season. You can bet Jerry Lott will have his team ready to do the same this season. It’s an exciting time for high school basketball at Adamsville as well with Nathaniel Root taking over as head coach of the boys’ team while the Lady Cards are show promise of being a solid team with what they feel like is a quick team that plays with heart and grit. All in all, there should be some high-flying, hair raising, heart stopping, jaw dropping action coming to a gym near you, so check your local listings, and support your favorite teams.

Meet the Bobcats By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

McNairy Central High School held their Meet the Bobcats ceremony to introduce the community to this year’s team of returning players and new faces. Sybil Dancer began by introducing the cheerleaders. The growing crowd clapped their hands as each player was announced. Next the young men and women basketball players got acquainted with the spectators. The night’s events began with a Three-Point Shootout. Kindra Brown rotated around the perimeter and won over Rameil Pollard with seven three-pointers in less than a minute. The real shocker of the con-

test was the last round of players, when Haven Phelps went up against Jordan Burton and beat him, making nine three’s. Phelps and Justin Sutton tied at nine and competed in a tie-breaker. Phelps had a 7-2 lead when Sutton began to make a comeback, but in the end he was beaten by a last second shot by Phelps. The boys took flight in a Dunk Contest, which surprisingly consisted of several players off the bench. In the end, Stuart Littlejohn and C.J. Barnes tied in the contest after competing in an extended tie breaker round. To wrap up the night, the Lady Bobcats and Bobcats competed in scrimmage against each other to give a peek at what this season will look like.

knotted the game, 14-14 with a little under ten minutes to play. Cascade fumbled on the kickoff return, and Adamsville recovered on the Champions’ 24-yard-line. On the very next play, the Cardinals fumbled on an incomplete pass behind the

The Champions really put the pressure on the Cardinal defense, backing Adamsville down inside their 5-yard-line on a drive that totaled 15 plays. The AHS defense, with its back against the wall, stepped up when it counted. Drake Fox burst through the line on third-and-goal from the 2-yard-line and stuffed Cascade for a loss, forcing fourth down. With just over two minutes remaining, the Champions sent out their field goal unit. It seemed as if everyone in the stadium was holding their breath when the kick went up. The field goal was wide right and Adamsville’s chance to win was wide open. Dalton Plunk completed five passes in a two-minute drive. The last of which drew a personal foul penalty on Cascade and gave Adamsville possession on the Champions’ 7-yard-line. The Cardinals called upon Dustin Plunk to come through in the clutch with the season on the line. With six seconds left in the game and nervous hearts racing throughout the stadium, Plunk banged home the game winning field goal, sending AHS to the quarterfinals of the state playoffs. “They used their last timeout to kinda ice Dustin, but we do

that everyday in practice,” Gray said. “When they iced him, they came off the field smiling because they were used to it... He may have been nervous inside, but he never showed it.” Adamsville gained 366 total yards of offense and were led by Dalton Plunk’s 77-yards passing on nine completions and 26 rushing yards that included one touchdown run. Reece gained 89 yards on the ground on six carries, averaged14.8 yards per run, and scored a touchdown. He also recovered a fumble and had a tackle. Josh Shoate caught five passes for 92 yards, one for 63 yards, and was credited for 3 tackles on defense. Kendall caught four passes for 49 yards. Zak Neary got 14 touches and ran for 81 yards. He also had a sound game on defense recording eight tackles. Taylor Alexander gained 16 yards on four carries, and John Blakley and Josh Chappell each had one run for seven yards. On defense, Blakley had eight tackles, Chappell had seven, and Alexander had one. Leading the Cardinals on defense, Josh Burks had 11 tackles. Odom had seven tackles, five pass deflections, and an interception. Hurley also had an interception, deflected two passes,

Seth Killingsworth had four. Josh Lunsford, Blake Edwards, and Drake Fox each had three tackles. Drew Griswell, Colton Williams, and Blake Elrod each had two tackles, and David Grisham had one. Dustin Plunk was perfect on

the night, making both of his extra point attempts and his only field try goal of the night. With the win the Cardinals improved to 10-1, advanced to the next round where they will play Riverside for a shot at the semi-finals, and eliminated a Cascade team that made it to the quarterfinals last season and finished this season 7-5.

Pick’em standings tight amongst coaches By Andrew Alexander

lier in the season, and two in a row against the ‘Canes since dropping six straight between 2004 and 2009. A notable streak ended last weekend. For the first time in 61 seasons, Joe Paterno was not apart of the coaching staff at Penn State University. In the wake of a scandal revealing week in University Park, Pa., Paterno was fired, making it a week of firsts for the Nittany Lions. The 17-14 loss to Nebraska was their first Big Ten loss of the year. It was the first game they played only one quarterback for the entire game. But most notably, it was the first game in 548 that Paterno was not the head coach. Penn State’s former coach was not happy last weekend, but Florida’s former coach was. Steve Spurrier made a liar out of me, proving his Gamecocks had just enough offensive firepower to best Florida, 17-12, and give him his second straight win over the Gators. South Carolina still has a chance to play in the SEC Championship after the win, but they are going to need some help in the form of a loss from Georgia. In Week #12’s slate of games, Oregon looks to remain in the driver’s seat of the Pac-12’s North Division when they host the USC Trojans. Kansas State will travel to Austin, Tex. to do battle with the Longhorns after a thrilling victory over Texas A&M in a quadrupole overtime game last weekend. The Cornhuskers try to remain in contention for a shot at playing in the Big Ten Championship when they head to the Big House to tangle with the Wolverines of Michigan. In another Big Ten matchup, Penn State and Ohio State attempt to rebound after each suffered a loss last Saturday. Rounding out Week #12’s contests, the Vanderbilt Commodores and Tennessee Volunteers will collide in Neyland Stadium as both are fighting for bowl eligibility. Lastly, the Independent Appeal extends its apologies to Jacob Dowty. There was an oversight in calculating last week’s winner and his picks were completely overlooked. Dowty finished Week #10’s pick’em flawlessly, guessing all five games correctly. He was awarded his $50 gift certificate for winning.

Sports Writer

Several of Week #11’s games in the Independent Appeal’s 2011 College Football Pick’em went right down to the wire with teams edging out their opponents on their final drives, but a few of our games were not as competitive as we all thought they might have been. Despite the three close contests and the two blowouts, Darryl Weatherford weathered the storm and came out with a 5-0 record amongst Facebook pick’em players, earning a $75 gift package for his efforts after his tiebreaker score of 40-31 was only 12 points off the actual total of the result between Stanford and Oregon, which was 83 points. Matt Donahoe was the only other contestant to go undefeated last week, but his 31-24 prediction left him 17 points shy of bringing home the proverbial bacon. Great effort by all competitors in the week’s games; unless you’re me. My 2-3 effort was the worst since the first week of games. Coach Alldredge shared my frustration also going 2-3. Coach Woodmore edged the two of us with a 3-2 record, and Coach Gray and Glover tied with 4-1 records. The results of Week #11’s games left Glover and Alldredge only two games behind Gray for second place, and Woodmore only three games back. Gray and Glover’s luck ran out when Andrew Luck and the Stanford Cardinal were beaten by three touchdowns at home against the now 9-1 Oregon Ducks. Stanford’s chances of playing in the national championship were crippled after the 53-30 beat-down. Speaking of beat-downs, did you see the Georgia, Auburn game? Wow. War Eagle looked more like a cowardly dodo. The Bulldogs, led by sophomore quarterback Andrew Murray’s four touchdown passes, trounced Auburn 45-7 in The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. The Hurricanes and Seminoles clashed in Florida’s oldest football rivalry, and Florida State held Miami off to preserve a 23-19 victory. The ‘Noles have won five consecutive games since losing three straight ear-

Coffman named A.D. of the Year By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The 7th Athletic District’s A.F. Bridges Awards Ceremony was held in Jackson, Tenn. last Wednesday, and Adamsville High School’s Ricky Coffman was named Athletic Director of the Year for 2010. Coffman has been the school’s athletic director for _ years. He also graduated from AHS in 1988, and has been a Cardinal athlete, teacher, and coach. A.F. Bridges was one of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association’s founding fathers, and became the association’s first Executive Secretary in 1939. The awards are

named after him not just for his contributions to high school athletics in the state of Tennessee, but because he was a fair and ethical person and a man of intergrity. The awards are annually bestowed upon those that represent their schools in a similar fashion. Individuals are nominated by committees on citizenship and sportsmanship within each of the nine districts across the state. Nominations are then presented to the State Selection Committee for final decisions to be made. A.F. Bridges Awards go to the Principal of the Year, School System Administrator of the Year, Athletic Director of the Year, Male and Female Coach of the Year, Official of the Year, and Contributor of the Year for each district.

and followed it up with a 14-10 win over Forrest High School in the second. The Pathers’ 5-6 record is not impressive, but five of the six teams Riverside lost to made the playoffs. Riverside, on average, scores only 20 points per game and gives up 21. They have won four in a row and five of their last six, and are sure to be hungry for revenge after such a close loss to AHS earlier in the season. The Cardinals come into the contest scoring 31 points per game and the defense is giving up only 13. AHS is riding a 10 game winning streak, and their only loss this season was at the hands of the Chester County Eagles, who are still alive in the Class 4A State Playoffs. “We’re going to try to es-

tablish the running game,” said Gray. “I feel like we’re better than them man for man, so we’ll go into it with pretty much the same game plan.” The Cardinals ran for 168 yards against Riverside in the first matchup, which is roughly 80 yards less than what the team averaged against their other eight regular season opponents. The winner of the quarterfinal district rivalry rematch between Adamsville and Riverside will advance to the state semi-finals to play the winner of #5 seed Dresden and #2 seed Westwood. Game time is 7 p.m. Friday night, and there is an $8 admissions fee. Because of TSSAA regulations, season passes cannot be honored at the gate.

Lady Cardinal bowlers strike again Struggles continue for AHS boys’ team By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The Adamsville Lady Cardinal bowling team continued their strong start to the 2011 season last week while the boys’ team began to struggle. Led by Amron Forsythe, the Lady Cardinals defeated Munford 26-1 Nov. 8 at the Savannah Bowling center where AHS plays their home matches, but fell in a close match to Brighton 14-13 at the Barlett Bowling Center Nov. 7. Forsythe’s individual best of 235 and series best 603 against Brighton was the teams’ top performance in their two matches. The boys were short handed in both matches, losing to Brighton 24-3 after only fielding five bowlers, and against Munford they only had three, giving the Cougar boys an easy win. Logan Young’s 172 against Brighton was the best individual performance for the short handed boys’ team. Brad Wilkins’ series total of 472 led the way as the team’s highest in the two matches. The girls improved to 3-2 on the season and the boys fell to 1-4. Both teams took on the Dyer County Choctaws last Tuesday night in Savannah. Results from that match were not available at the time of print.

Big win for Bethel boys, close loss for girls By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Size and speed was the story of the game played in Savannah Nov. 8 between the Rebels of Bethel and the Savannah Christian Academy Eagles. Bethel’s advantage in both areas helped them fight off a scrappy Eagle team and win 62-43. “It was one of those games that didn’t turn out the way we wanted it to,” said head coach Brian Franks about his team’s performance overall, “but the end result was in our favor.” Looking at both teams, it was clear that Bethel had the advantage size wise, and their speed is some of the best in McNairy County, but the SCA Eagles appeared to be well coached and unafraid. “We started off slow,” said Franks. “They were pesky and kept hanging around.” Bethel led 15-13 through one quarter and outscored the Eagles 14-11 in the second, making the score 29-24 at the half. The second half was a different story. The Rebels, with their man-defense and size advantage, dominated the third quarter 24-5, enabling Franks to bring in some bench players for the fourth quarter. “We got a lot of good production out of our bench players,” Franks said. “It was really good for us.” The Eagles outscored the Rebels in the final quarter, 12-9 but it was nowhere near enough to claw them back into the game as Bethel enjoyed a 19 point lead as the final buzzer sounded. Bethel shot 46 percent from the field in the game and 38

percent from the free-throw line. Bethel improved to 2-0 on the season with the win and they played host to another set of Eagles last Thursday when Ramer came to town.

Bethel had their highest scoring total in the first quarter, trailing SCA 8-7 going into the second. The second quarter saw only five combined points from both teams and the Eagles led at halftime 11-9. SCA came out at the beginning of the second half continuing their full-court press

defense that slowed the Rebels’ offense in the second quarter. “We need to learn about the press. A lot of it is just inexperience,” said Slaughter. “We’re going to have to learn a lot about the press before we can break it.” The fourth quarter began with SCA leading 20-13 and they maintained their seven point advantage over the Rebels, holding off any chance of a Bethel comeback. The Lady Rebs moved on to host the Eagles of Ramer last Thursday night. They were 0-2 going into the game, but

Lions prey on Cards By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The Lady Lions took a big bite out of the Junior Lady Cardinals in the second half of their game last Thursday, outscoring Adamsville 26-10 in the final two quarters for a 31-12 victory at home. Selmer’s Kaitlyn West caught fire late and finished the game with with a doubledouble on 16 points and 15 rebounds, presenting problems for AJHS defense. “We had to go away from our game plan early due to fouls and injuries,” said Lady Cardinal coach Rebecca Ashe. The first half was a physical, low-scoring affair, and the teams headed into halftime with Selmer leading 5-2. “It was a clock game early, but what killed us in this game was our shooting,” said Ashe. “We went 5 of 35 from the floor. You can’t win game when you shoot that bad. Have to get better.” Both teams are now 1-1 in the young season and went on the road last Monday night.

The Junior Cardinals strolled into the Lion’s Den at Selmer Middle School but barely got out alive after SMS pounced all over the Cards in a 42-11 win. “We let Selmer’s pressure get the best of us,” said Cardinal coach Will Barkley. “We need to be more aggressive with the ball in our hands” Barkley said his team could not avoid the trap and continuously picked up their dribble far too early. “We are not big enough to throw it over a trap,” he said, “so we have to become smarter when it comes to staying out of situation like that.” SMS Head Coach Wayne Maxedon was pleased with his

team’s effort, but still sees flaws early in the season. “We created a lot of turnovers and controlled the tempo of the game,” said Maxedon. “We have to shoot foul shots better and not make so many mental errors.” The Lions opened the game on a 12-2 run and led 21-9 at halftime. Continuing the dominating performance, SMS outscored Adamsville 19-0 in the third quarter and the Cardinals could not do much from there. The Cardinals fell to 0-2 on the season and traveled to Pickwick to take on the Eagles last Monday. Selmer improved to 3-0 on the season and traveled to Chester County last Monday to take on the Eagles.

Two wins for MCHS in jamboree By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

McNairy Central tipped off the season in Scotts Hill last Saturday for their jamboree against the Lions. The two teams loaded the bus that night and left victorious. Last year, the Lady Bobcats won the district, placed second in the Region, and finished with a loss in the first round of AA Sectionals to Manassas in Memphis. The Bobcats’ season ended in the District 14AA Tournament at Bolivar Central. The Lady Bobcats began the night with two eight-minutequarter scrimmages against the girls from Reagan, Tenn. Returning seniors Tierra Lusk, Kindra Brown, and Chelsea Bodiford took the floor for MCHS. Mallorie Sweat tipped off and Brown scored the first basket with a jump shot assisted by Lusk. Using a full-court press defense, Central was able to put pressure on Scotts Hill as the seconds counted down to make it across the half court line. As the short preseason game neared a close and both teams were fighting for the win, the score was tied 25 with a little over two minutes remaining. The final score left the Lady Bobcats with a six point lead, and a 31-25 win over Scotts Hill. Talent and experience was presented on the court for the Bobcats as Brady Dancer, Donterious Waller, Justin Sutton, Jordan Burton, Cal Chappell, and Rameil Pollard returned this year as the senior class. Pollard sat out during the jamboree with a minor injury, but is expected to return within the week. Chappell tipped off for the boys and the fast paced game began with a foul against Scotts Hill that sent Stuart Littlejohn to the line for the first point. Barnes raised the crowd to its feet as he scored two points with a dunk and drew the foul. A Lion player attempted to pull a charge call from the referees but his feet were not planted. After Barnes made the foul shot, the Bobcats held the lead, 8-6. MCHS was able to maintain the lead throughout the rest of the

game and was winning 26-19 at the buzzer. The two victories give McNairy Central hope for a successful season. In the district, MCHS will play Bolivar Central, Fayette Ware, Jackson Central-Merry, Chester County, Lexington, Liberty Tech Magnet, and Jackson South Side. MCHS competed last Tuesday night after press time against Madison in their first preseason home game. Game highlights and stats will be provided in next week’s edition of the Independent Appeal. With the cancellation of the North Side game Thursday, the Bobcats will play Saturday in Dyersburg for their Hall of Fame game.

the perimeter. Bethel withstood the three-point barrage and was able to hold onto one point victory when all was said and done. Christian Brown led the Eagles with 21 points, all of which were scored in the second half. He also had seven rebounds, and four assists. James Bryant trailed with 15 points. Logan Essary had four points and Kameron Atkins and Chase Burdette had two points apiece. Darwin Kelly was the leading scorer for the Rebels with 13 points. Austin Pace led with six rebounds on defense and had 12 points. Da’Korea Dilworth had 10 points and led with four assists. Darrius Sanders had eight points and Dylan Crabb had two points. Ramer will host their next game against Selmer on Thursday. While Bethel won this tossup match, the question remains whether the Rebels will can do it again. Bethel improved to 3-0 after the when and moved on to host Hardin County last Monday. Before the boys’ game, the evening began with a B-game matchup between the young ladies of Ramer and Bethel. The tip off favored Bethel Springs, but after a missed shot Ramer rebounded and Allison Sweat

scored the first two points. The small amount of time ticked off the clock and left a final score of 7-4, leaving Ramer the victor. Megan Morris and Mary Kate Doyle met in the circle for tip-off of the girls’ game and the Lady Rebels gain possesion first. Allie Hughes made the first basket for Ramer after a defensive rebound. After several possession changes, the Lady Eagle had the upper hand at the end of the first quarter, 10-2. Score at 6-0 and less than two minutes remaining, Katie Turner banks a shot off the backboard to put the Lady Rebels on the board. The two teams were evenly matched in the second and third quarter. The Lady Eagles sealed the win in the final quarter, scoring 11 points to Bethel’s four, and led 35-16 at the buzzer. “Bethel is a well-coached team and played a good game,” said Ramer Coach Vonda Jobe. “We hustled and played good defense, but we still need improvement in rebounding and shooting. We were happy to get the win.” The Lady Eagles were led by Allie Hughes, who had 11 points and seven rebounds. Doyle followed with 10 points and Madi Rose Hammock had eight points. Tessa Tucker, Olivia Harris, and Mary Grace Hunter each scored two points.

Cards have tough time in Pickwick AHS Edward Jones Player of the Week

By Jay Poindexter Sports Writer

In a hard fought game the Lady Cardinals fell 49-24 to Pickwick Southside’s Lady Eagles. The Lady Cardinals got off to a good start in the first half, but fell in the second half scoring only seven total points after halftime. “We didn’t do a good job taking care of the basketball,” said AJHS Coach Rebecca Ashe. “We had open shots, but we had too many turnovers. You can’t win ball games with that many turnovers.” The boys fought hard in the first quarter with the score tied at 6-6, but came up 10 points short in the end, losing 39-29. “We played hard but it was a different day, same story. Too many turnovers and careless possessions.” said Coach Will Barkley. The Lady Cardinals dropped to 1-2 on the season and the boys to 0-3.

Dancing with Dancer By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

Many people are unaware of the talent and experience that Parks and Recreation Director Sybil Dancer has acquired in dancing. Since she was a little girl, she has danced, and now that she has grown older and has been an instructor for so long, Dancer is teaching a second generation of dancers. “I started dancing in Memphis when I was about seven or eightyears-old, said Dancer. “In 1982, my dance teacher, Peggy Armstrong, suggested that I open up a dance school after graduation. It’s really strange sometimes and feels strange when you have a former student walk in and say they have a child that wants to take dance and I think I taught you when you were that age.” The love and passion for dance will stay with her throughout her lifetime, even though her two boys, ages 17 and 15, have taken other hobbies beside dance. “My boys, Brady and Clay, when they were small, I did teach them gymnastics and they took tap dancing,” said Dancer. “They danced one year and got into the big sports scene and that was it.” Her two almost grown children are student athletes at McNairy Central High School where Dancer graduated. She was in Color Guard and still danced on a regular basis throughout high school, and there she had her most memorable moment.

“I performed in the Senior Talent Show,” said Dancer, “and the school didn’t even know I danced. My teachers and faculty stood there in awe thinking ‘where did that come from?’ because I was always shy and didn’t do anything. That was something that was special to me because I could show the school what I can do.” She opened up her first dance school in Selmer that Fall behind the Courthouse and has not looked back. The location has changed a few times throughout the years, but her dedication to teaching others the wonderful art of dance has not. In July of 1992, the young dancer married a Dancer, Tim Dancer, and they have been together for almost 20 years. Her husband is the assistant coach of the McNairy Central Bobcat Basketball team and Dancer is the coach of the Bobcat Cheerleaders. Dancer’s knowledge of dance and gymnastics comes in handy when leading the cheerleaders through basketball season. Raising two boys has left her with little connection to young ladies. “I enjoy getting to mingle in and do things with the little girls,” said Dancer. The roster includes over 60 dancers and gymnasts this year alone. Dancer has taught and been a positive role model to many young performers. “I have had several outstanding groups and individual students participate in local talent shows and win,” said Dancer,

“and I have mentored senior projects in tap dancing and different things.” Her classes are now held at the Selmer Civic Center on Thursday from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m., with ages ranging from four and up. “We teach one day a week,” said Dancer. “We have three dance classes and two gymnastic classes on Thursdays. The dance classes are a combination of tap, jazz, and ballet and then gymnastics is by itself.” Not only have her former and returning students won awards, but Dancer has also had a track record of success. “Since I was young, I danced at the Mid-South Fair and won several competitions there,” said Dancer. “I have won several talent shows in Memphis.” Two years ago, Dancer performed in Arts in McNairy’s production of White Christmas for a tap dance number along with two other female dancers. “Somebody said I came out of retirement for that.” The story began when Dancer and her two sisters, Ruthie and Glenda, took classes under Armstrong. Since fall of 1982, she has taught tap, jazz, ballet, acrobats, and baton. “Baton is not as popular as it used to be,” said Dancer. “But gymnastics and dance are still pretty popular. My youngest sister, Glenda, helps me teach now. Her biggest inspiration was Armstrong for making dance so fun and teaching her that hard work will always pay off in the end. Dancer also thanks the two

When I practiced in Memphis we danced nearly four days a week. They dedicated a lot to getting us to dance class.” Dancer instructs the dancers nine months out of the year, and they perform a different number each year around Halloween, Christmas, in the production of HeeHaw, and for a spring recital. “We take June, July, and August off to let everyone have their vacations and get started in school,” said Dancer. “Then we

start back the week after Labor Day.” With a lifetime in dancing and almost 30 years of teaching dance, Dancer plans to continue

carrying out her dream. “I love teaching dance and I still enjoy it and love it for myself as well.”

Michie Elementary School Student Council gets involved (Michie Elementary School) -- Michie School’s most recently elected Student Council officers for the school year 2011-2012 are expected to do great things and represent the school well according to Brianna Ward, eighth grade student. The Student Council sponsor, Ann Bowers, is excited about the slate of eighth grade officers. According to Bowers, “After the student council brainstormed the activities they believed would be helpful to the school and student body, they read the overwhelming list of suggestions from the student body’s suggestion box. Several suggestions were technology related; therefore, mem-

bers of the student council saw the need to form student and parent groups and activities that would support the Round-up program just approved by the City of Michie. According to another excited student, Sam Devine, “I think it is so neat that the students have input into how to improve our school and to make learning easier, fun, and more enjoyable for everyone.” Student Council President Grayson Chandler believes that with everyone working together, it is going to be a great year for the student body and Michie School.”

STEM classes at Selmer Middle School continue STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) class is still going strong at Selmer Middle School. Students in the class, taught by 5th year teacher Tim Hurst, are learning about various types of technology and using what they have learned to design and build working models of technological systems. These include structures such as balsa towers and bridges alongside vehicles such as airplanes, race cars, and rockets. The purpose of the class is to build interest in applied science and related careers such as engineering. This year Mr. Hurst plans to introduce a unit on computers and computer programming.

School menus

up in costumes, going trickor-treating, visiting “haunted houses,” and carving jack-olanterns. Thus, it is important to understand how all of these ideas surrounding Halloween were started. In the nineteenth century, Irish and Scottish immigrants came to North America, carrying over all of their old traditions, including varying versions of Halloween. This tradition has its roots in the Celtic festival called Samhain (pronounced “sah-win”). This festival was to celebrate the end of the harvest season. Samhain was a time to take stock of supplies and to prepare for the coming of winter. It was believed that each October 31st, the boundaries separating the living world from the spiritual overlapped, and the dead would come back to life and wreak havoc on the people and damage crops. Also, masks and costumes were worn to mimic the evil spirits or conciliate them. As for dressing up in costumes and going from house to house, imploring for treats, this tradition dates back to the Middle Ages. Trick-ortreating comes from a medieval tradition of “souling.” This was when impoverished people would go door to door on November 1st, in a time called Hallowmas. On this day, the poor would receive food in return for prayers of the dead on All Souls Day, November 2nd. Over time, these old Celtic traditions developed into the modern Halloween holiday we all know and love today.

Thus, many people today participate in dressing up in costumes, telling stories around campfires, trick-or-treating, or visiting haunted houses. Another fall tradition is harvest festivals. As most Americans know, in 1621, the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving, after surviving their first winter in the New World. Thanks to the help of an English-speaking native named Squanto, and a tribe of friendly Native Americans, who helped the settlers learn better means of farming and fishing, the pilgrims were able to enjoy a wonderful bounty of food during their Thanksgiving celebration. However, this type of celebration was not uncommon to these settlers, due to the fact that the English partook in harvest festivals in Britain. The British tradition of harvest festivals dates back to pagan times, where they would celebrate successful harvests. Thus, today, Americans still celebrate these harvest festivals in schools across the nation, and on Thanksgiving each year. For many years, rambunctious people have been rolling yards, especially on Halloween night. Although some may consider this prank as a harmless art form, many people see it as vandalism, and will do whatever it takes to put a stop to it. For example, one particularly annoyed person might proceed to blast anyone who attempts to roll his or her yard. So anyone who plans on rolling yards this year should

be conscious of cantankerous people who want to eliminate them. Although rolling yards is not necessarily encouraged, anyone who does not care to get caught rolling yards should know some tips for yard rolling. For example, to get the roll into the top of a very tall tree, it would be wise to have someone with you who has a strong arm, and can really launch the toilet paper into the top of the tree. Otherwise, the job will be incomplete. Again, though, I am not trying to encourage yard ruling, I am simply relaying the facts. So how do some of the people at McNairy Central High School celebrate the fall? One person who was willing to talk about their fall experiences is Jared Walters, the Media Concepts teacher at MCHS. Walters said that for Halloween, he and his wife take their son to go trick-or-treating. He said that he and his son always dress up, but his wife, Bethany, does not wear a costume, in case they have to go in somewhere. He continued by saying that they usually visit all of their local relatives on Halloween. When asked what he is most afraid of, Walters said he is not really afraid of the typical fears, such as spiders and snakes, but he is most afraid of failure. In relation to harvest festivals, Walters said that he loves Thanksgiving, due to the fact that it is such a time of remembrance. Walters also said that Thanks giving was a time of “looking back and realizing how blessed we really

are.” In addition, Walters also loves their family gatherings and the great food. When asked about any experiences he had with rolling yards, Walters said he has rolled a yard before, and he was actually caught in the act. However, Walters did not wish to have the details of the incident printed, so anyone who would like to know more must talk to him. As for myself, I really enjoy fall the most of any season. I love the feel of a warm fire on my wind-chilled skin, and the feeling of togetherness in the home. During Halloween, I usually find myself at home, watching all of the specials that come on television. This year, my personal favorite was the Ghost Hunters live Halloween special in hopes of trying to be scared, however, I failed miserably. Though I am generally not afraid of anything, I just cannot stand spiders, they have way too many legs, fangs, and eyes. I am really drawn to the fall, due to the fact that the biggest eating holiday of the year, Thanksgiving, is part of this season. For me, fall is a time of eating as much as I can, and watching as much football, college or professional, as is humanly possible. Fall is a time of true American traditions.
