County schools get report card By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
The Tennessee Department of Education released results from the 2011 state Report Card last Friday. This release included district- and schoollevel data on a variety of indicators, from student achievement and growth on standardized tests, to attendance and behavior. The report card reveals that one sub-group failed to make adequate yearly progress in one subject area. African-American students in grades three through eight failed to meet proficiency standards in reading/ language arts/writing. As a result, the county school system lost its good standing status and landed on the target list. Of the eight schools in the McNairy County school system, six are in good standing. Two schools, Selmer Elementary School and Michie Ele-
mentary School are listed as targeted schools. This is a school that misses one benchmark in at least one area. At SES and MES, economically disadvantaged students fell short of the proficiency benchmark in reading/ language arts/writing. There are no sanctions or penalties imposed on target schools. “We are concerned as a district that demographic groups of students are not progressing at the same rate as their contemporaries. We plan to study what factors contribute to the divide and seek solutions that positively impact our students. Further, we are seeking assistance from Tennessee’s First to the Top initiative to align professional development to address the identified areas,” said McNairy County Supervisor of Instruction and Assistant Director of Schools Dr. Brian Jackson. Jackson told the Independent Appeal last Monday that McNairy County

In a stunning revelation last week, Bloomberg Markets Magazine reported that the Federal Reserve lent banks approximately $1.2 trillion in below market rate loans on a single day in 2008 to keep some of the largest banks in the nation solvent. The Fed lent nearly $4,000 to these banks on behalf of every man, woman and child living in this nation in just one day. The loans came in the final days of the Bush administration just as the same banks were telling their investors that COULON they were not in trouble, and as the same banks were paying millions to lobbyists to block legislation that would have increased regulation in their industry, regulation designed to prevent similar bank failures in the future. In addition, at the same time these banks were failing, they spent millions on bonuses to keep the talented employees that caused this mess to begin with. In all, the Fed doled out $7.77 trillion or nearly $25,666 per U.S. citizen or more than $50,000 per U.S. taxpayer in loans to these banks during a few month span in late 2008 and early 2009, an amount so large that it is double the annual budget and triple the annual revenue for the entire U.S. Government. To make matters worse, the banks who received this money at an interest rate of roughly 0 percent were then able to take that money and lend it back to the government in the form of bonds netting the banks a profit of an estimated $13 billion. These loans represent the single largest expenditure of any government entity in the history of mankind and were basically done in secret through the Troubled Asset Relief Program or TARP taking three years, an act of congress and several freedom of information act requests before it was finally revealed to the public. To put this in perspective, that means that you (assuming that you are a tax paying citizen of this nation) have lent the wealthiest individuals in the nation (bankers) $50,000 in interest free loans then borrowed that money back from them, all without your knowledge or permission. And you are now expected to pay interest, which at this point is more than $100 per tax payer, on that money that you lent to them in the first place. If you think this is fair, please stop by our offices at the Independent Appeal. In addition to being a journalist I am thinking of opening my own lending business using this same business model. I will loan you any amount of money for a very low interest rate provided you put up the same amount up front as interest free collateral.

The officers caught up with the suspect at a nearby treeline where he surrendered without incident. The white substance field tested positive for crack cocaine and weighed in at 21.3 grams. Lowrance estimated the street value of the crack to be approximately $2,000. Nathan is charged with possession of a schedule II controlled substance with intent to sell and deliver, driving with a suspended license (first offense), and resisting arrest. He was also issued a citation for seatbelt and headlight violations.
The City of Selmer has taken proactive steps to prevent accidents at the South Y Intersection where Court Avenue splits into Poplar and Mulberry Avenues. At issue, is the south entrance of Dollar General where many cars make illegal left turns onto Poplar leaving the store and illegal left turns into the store from Court. The issue was brought to the attention of the city after numerous minor accidents occurred at the intersection and several citations were
issued by officers to motorists making illegal turns. Once the city was aware of the problem, the mayor, street superintendent and police department met to come up with a solution to this problem, said Selmer Police Chief Neal Burks. The city barricaded the south entrance of the Dollar General, which would prevent cars from turning onto Poplar or making an illegal left at the split as a solution to this problem. “We talked to the state and they said that if it poses a risk to traffic

Adamsville moves on in the aftermath of devastating fire By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
The fire that claimed three of Adamsville’s downtown businesses may not have taken any lives, but it certainly took a lot from the residents and employees of the town. “We were a big family,” said Michelle Geiger, Saw Meal owner. “It’s just a shock, and that word isn’t even big enough to describe it.” Christmas is only a few weeks away and the devastation of the fire has left many unemployed. Saw Meal Restaurant’s 38 employees are now without work and many will collect unemployment. “Everyone that worked there had to work,” said Geiger. “Nobody worked for fun.” One employee, 70-year-old Maylene Barber, has worked on main street in some capacity for the last 52 years. Each business owner who suffered a loss in the fire is anxiously awaiting the Fire Marshal and insurance inspectors to finish their investigations before cleanup can begin and for the estimates on the damages to be made. Geiger says they are looking, with the assistance of the City of Adamsville, for a new building to open in temporarily and has not ruled out rebuilding at the former location. Likewise for the owners and operators of Bob’s Heating and Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Services, The Tanning Alley and The Academy: School of Dance and Gymnastics. “We’re definitely going to re-open,” said The
Academy’s instructor Jennifer Lee Leckner. “I don’t know if it will be in the same place, but we will reopen.” Leckner says dance classes are still on and are being held at the Adamsville Community Center as they prepare for a dance competition in Nashville Saturday, Dec. 10. The dancers are also still preparing for their Christmas recital, which has been pushed back “a few weeks.” According to Leckner, many churches in town have opened their doors and offered their facilities to The Academy’s students. “I just want to say thank you for the concern from the community and the willingness to help from the parents of the dancers,” said Leckner. “They’ve been great in understanding and offering their help and support. (The fire) is such a terrible thing, but great things keep coming from it.” The community’s concern and support has been extended to Saw Meal as well. “It’s just been unbelievable,” said Geiger. “A lot of people really want to help.” Hardin County Bank is taking up donations from individuals who feel compelled to help out. The bank will also be adopting a family and providing them with clothes and gifts during the holiday season. Churches and other businesses in Adamsville are following suit by adopting families effected by the fire as well. Assistance is also being offered by the Carl Perkins Center of McNairy County. The center will offer Christmas and emergency assistance for employees that cannot work right now, according to County Di-

DTF agents make crack arrest in Adamsville Investigators from the McNairy County Drug Task force arrested a man for possession of crack cocaine last Friday night during a traffic stop on Highway 64 in Adamsville. Investigators Jamie Lowrance, Lynn Ingle and James Frazier made the arrest following a traffic stop. “(We) noticed that the driver of the vehicle in front of (us) didn’t have his seatNATHAN belt on and after passing the vehicle noticed that the entire left headlight area was missing from the car,” Lowrance said in his incident report. “The vehicle was stopped in front of the M&M meat market in Adamsville.” The officers spoke with the driver, identified as Derick Nathan of Savannah, Tenn., and asked him to move his vehicle to an area away from traffic. According to Lowrance, Nathan moved his vehicle to a more secure area and then jumped out of his car fleeing on foot. Nathan was pursued by Lowrance and Frazier and was seen throwing a plastic bag containing a white

If the situation leading to the designation is not corrected, sanctions could result in the future.

Santa Claus came to town By Christen Coulon Editor
Despite preparations for his annual journey to deliver toys to children across the world, Santa Claus was sighted on three separate occasions in Selmer last weekend. Santa showed up to Community South Bank last Friday following their open house and spent two hours meeting with area children. Following this meeting Claus said that he would try to meet all of the requests granted by the children but said that he would not be able to deliver everything that the children asked for. “Despite my best efforts I am not able to grant every Christmas wish,” Santa said. “Even with my elves I am not able to make every toy that children ask for. I just don’t have the time.” Santa also reminded the children that they must be good to receive presents, “I am only able to make toys for the good boys and girls...so be good for goodness sake.” Santa was spotted again in Selmer last Saturday morning this time accompanied by three of his elves, Holly, Jolly and Jingles, at the annual Breakfast with Santa at the Selmer Community Center held to raise funds for the Carl Perkins Center for Prevention of Child Abuse. “I love pancakes and helping children, so I try make it to this event every year,” Santa said. “I had a great time with all of the good food, music, and dancing. I’m sure I will be back here next year to celebrate the season at this event.” Incredibly, Santa was spotted a third time last Saturday in downtown Selmer at the annual Christmas parade. He was seen waving to the children on the parade route and was escorted by police and fire vehicles, several colorful floats from community organizations and joint musical performance from the Adamsville and McNairy Central high school bands. The parade winners were Subway for the business category, The Young Champion Cheerleading Team for the community category, and Selmer Girl Scouts for the church/civic category. “I just love McNairy County,” Santa said. “I try to visit as often as possible. In fact, I plan to come back next week and spend some time in Adamsville.” It’s possible that Santa was referring to the annual Christmas Parade in Adamsville at 7 p.m. next Monday. After the parade last Saturday, Santa received flight clearance and made his way back home to the North Pole. Officials at the North American Aerospace Defense Command said that they were able to track Santa as far as northern Canada before he disappeared from their radar near the North Pole. Santa said that he was looking forward to reading all of the wonderfully written letters from the children of McNairy County and planned to forward them to the Independent Appeal for publication later this month.

Officers bust three meth labs By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
Officers from the McNairy County Narcotics Unit have made three meth busts, according to reports provided by the Sheriff’s office. These busts have resulted in six arrests and the seizure of meth paraphernalia. The latest was at 2937 Guys Chewalla Rd. in Selmer on Nov. 23 and resulted in the arrests of Tessa Diane Key and Tonya D. Keeton. Sheriff’s Deputy Joshua Gilbert and Dustin Brown of Pickwick Electric Cooperative were on the premises to investigate the stealing of power. They saw two saw blades placed in the power meter connecting to the house. Brown noticed a strong chemical odor coming from the residence. Keeton and Key were taken into custody. During a safety check of the house, Gilbert noticed that his sinuses began to burn slightly and that he had a slight headache. He then called narcotics investigators Jamie Lowrance and Lynn Ingle. A.C. Dickey, who is the grandfather of owner Brian Dickey, gave the officers consent to search the premises. They found a Lithium cell phone battery, seven Energizer brand batteries, two gas generators, two pseudoephedrine boxes with empty blister packs and drain cleaner. Key and Keeton were charged with initiation to manufacture meth, promotion of meth, possession of drug
paraphernalia, theft of services, destruction /interference with utilities and criminal trespass. Both will appear in court on Dec. 22. A second bust two days earlier on 1259 Emmons Rd. in Selmer resulted in the arrests of Randy Earl Phillips and Suzanne Fulghum and resulted in the seizure of a gas generator and a one pot bottle used in the shake and bake method of making meth, which involves pouring the ingredients into only one container. Investigator James Frazier and Cpl. Jason Gray went to the premises to talk to Phillips and Fulghum about pseudoephedrine they bought in Muscle Shoals. Phillips was outside and admitted the pseudoephedrine went to cook meth. Frazier went upstairs with Phillips’s mother, who owns the house and saw a one pot meth lab on the floor, a glass jar with coffee filters with a compound rolled up in them and a glass generator. According to the report, Fulghum also admitted that the pseudoephedrine was used to make meth. She also admitted shooting up meth. She told Frazier that the needles were by the bed in a black box. Frazier found the box, which had a syringe, as well as tin foil in the trash that was
black, consistent with meth being smoked on it. Phillips and Fulghum were charged with promotion of meth manufacture and initiation to manufacture meth and will appear in court on Jan. 12. Michael A. Martin and Shaun P. Murphy were arrested on Nov. 12 for initiation to manufacture meth and promotion of meth manufacture. Investigator Jamie Lowrance and Sgt. Ron Pilkington of the Selmer Police Department responded to a complaint of a chemical odor coming from a residence at 957 West Cherry St. in Selmer, according to the incident report by Lowrance. Lowrance knocked on the door and Murphy answered. Lowrance asked Murphy for permission to search the residence. Murphy wouldn’t answer. Pilkington smelled a chemical odor coming from the residence that Lowrance from experience recognized as coming from the manufacture of meth. There were two vehicles at the residence, one of which Lowrance knew did not

belong to Murphy. Lowrance also saw another person in the residence when Murphy answered the door. Because of the danger to the people in the residence and that evidence would be destroyed, Lowrance decided to clear the residence to make sure that no one was inside it. Lowrance went inside the residence and saw in plain view on the kitchen table, two empty pseudoephedrine blister packs, an empty box of Goodsense pseudoephedrine, coffee filters, an empty Lithium battery package, a cold pack that was cut open, an empty Fred’s pack box, a container of Damprid moisture absorbers, a bottle of Floweasy drain opener and a pair of pliers with a white powder residue in the jaws. Murphy and Martin were arrested In a waste basket that did not have a lid on it in plain view outside next to Murphy was an active “one pot” meth cook bottle. Investigator Kim Holley came to the residence and Lowrance left to obtain a search warrant. In the meantime, Holley called Lowrance and said that Murphy had given him consent to search the residence. Murphy signed a written consent and then Lowrance found a syringe and spoon with a wet residue on it and an empty box of salt. On a kitchen shelf was a Pop-Tarts box with stripped Lithium batteries in it. On the kitchen floor was a white bucket with a round, blue water cooler and a bottle of household drain cleaner. The cooler was opened and an active “one pot” meth cook was found inside it. In the back yard just outside the door was another “one pot” bottle. Murphy had been advised of his rights after he was arrested and had given a statement that Martin had known about the meth cook and was involved in it. The statement was audio recorded. Murphy then gave a written statement that he and Martin had known about the meth cook. Murphy and Martin have a court date on Dec. 8.

However, in our initial interview we learned that the city had already taken steps to fix it. “We are aware of it, and we are fixing the problem,” Burks said. “We are trying to prevent a serious accident.” The city worked with the Dollar General to find the best solution to this problem. The barricade will be adjustable to allow delivery trucks to enter the store, but will prevent traffic from using this entrance. Donnie 731-610-0893

Milledgeville post office in peril By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
The Milledgeville post office may be on the chopping block. A preliminary decision has been made to close the facility, along with the Guys post office, as reported earlier in the Independent Appeal. They have both received 60-day notices. This means that the public has two months to comment. The United States Postal Service then must review the decision before making a final decision. Anyone who is regularly served by the office then has 30 days to file an appeal. The Postal Regulatory Commission, the independent regulatory body for the USPS then has 120 days to rule on an appeal. “We’re gonna pass the forms out and ask people to send in the survey to the postal department,” said Mayor Dannie Kennedy. He said he is not surprised by the decision. “I am disappointed,” he said, though. Kennedy believes that the community can still keep the post office open. “It looks like here in Milledgeville would be a good hub to consolidate to,” Kennedy said. Milledgeville is located at the crossroads of Highways 22 and 69. The Mayor urges the community not to give up the fight. “Please everyone get those forms and send them in,” he said. These forms ask postal customers how often they use the post office and how valuable it is to them personally. Milledgeville and Guys both conducted campaigns to save their post offices. Milledgeville stressed contacting their elected officials while Guys conducted a petition drive, as reported earlier in the Independent Appeal. Both towns have had several meetings to save their post offices over the past three months.
In addition, Burks discussed the North Y intersection with the Independent Appeal. At this intersection where Court Avenue splits into West Cherry Avenue and Peachtree Street, and West Cherry immediately splits again into Circle Hill Drive, Burks said that the city had no plans to alter this intersection. He said that motorists should be cautious at this intersection, and reminded motorists on Circle Hill to yield to traffic on West Cherry as they approach the stop sign. Both intersections have seen injury accidents in the past month

City of Michie plans to strengthen burn ordinance By Janet Rail Publisher
In their regularly scheduled meeting Nov. 28, the mayor and board of aldermen discussed a large unattended tire fire that occurred on Nov. 21. Michie volunteer firemen attempted to contact the homeowner but there was no one as the residence. According to the brush fire report, the fire involved approximately 150 tires in a pile fully engulfed. The fireman requested the fire department be dispatched when the owner arrived and stated he had been burning brush and it caught the tires on fire and stated he would use his dozer to smother out the fire with dirt. At this time the dispatch was canceled, however, state was contacted due to the nature of the fire. According to Fire Chief Shirley Clark, between Oct. 15 and May 15 a citizen needs a permit to burn or a fireman present. City Ordinance No. 60, a Burn Ordinance states the following: It shall be unlawful for any person to permit or cause the escape of such quantities of dense smoke, soot, cinders, noxious acids, fumes, dust or gasses as to be detrimental to or to endanger the health, comfort, and safety of the public or as to cause or have a tendency to cause injury or damage to property or business. The ordinance lists tires and other rubber products among many that are forbidden to burn in the city limits. It does list leaves, branch-

statewide average and in math and reading/language arts, while improving over the 2010 performance. “Overall, we have to be pleased with the report card. We recognize that we’ve entered a new day of testing and accountability. We have to accept that reality. The report card shows us that there are two groups that need attention. We will address those needs, and we certainly want to improve in all areas,” said Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly. To be in good standing, schools and school districts must make AYP by meeting proficiency benchmarks in nine subgroups, including five race/ ethnicity groups: students with disabilities, students with limited English proficiency, economically disadvantaged students and the school system as a whole. Each student’s performance on math and reading/language arts tests earns a rating of either Advanced, Proficient, Basic or Below Basic. Federal benchmarks identify the percentage of stu-
es, tree limbs, twigs, lawn clippings, woody vegetation, yard trimmings, clean unpainted, uncoated wood or untreated lumber that may be Okay to burn in compliance with the ordinance. The board will seek council from their attorney and the sheriff’s department to determine how to structure the burn ordinance in order to propose fines and penalties to further protect the public. Due to the weather Shannon Cottier, of Barge, Waggoner, Sumner and Cannon of Jackson, Tenn. was not able to attend the meeting to discuss a proposed public meeting for a CDBG Grant of $500,000 to update the water plant. The board will have to post a public meeting at a future date to discuss the grant. Mayor Mike Glisson discussed the round-up program to assist students in McNairy County with scholarships. This program would “roundup” utility bills to the next whole dollar and proceeds divided equally between scholarships and the one-to-one program that puts laptop computers in classrooms for students. The mayor met with 8th grade students at Michie Elementary upon their request to discuss the one to one program and answer questions for them regarding potential funding. The board discussed the program and the fact that the city manager had determined that starting in January the billing system would accommodate a round up option for utility customers on an optional basis. Mayor Jim Merry
dents who must perform in the Proficient/Advanced range for the school system to be in good standing. This release follows the release of the statewide Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program and Adequate Yearly Progress results, as well as the list of Reward, Priority and Focus schools, slated for state support under the state’s Elementary and Secondary Education Act Flexibility request. Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam and Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman submitted a flexibility request for Tennessee, seeking a waiver from certain portions of the No Child Left Behind Act on Nov. 14. This will make the ratings for student performance current with the new academic standards. According to Jackson, students are still being measured on a model that is a decade old. Since standards have risen since then and the curriculum has become more rigorous, measurement criteria will probably be adjusted downwards. Because the new curriculum is more rigorous, it will be harder to achieve. Jackson is hoping for informa-

Samantha Denton, water clerk stated, “when we read our meters I review each customers use and determine if water usage is more or less than it should be, we are re-reading the meters and if necessary and no answer at the doors we are cutting off the water to prevent major leaks and water loss.” The board passed the new policy unanimously. A theft of water services policy was passed and signed by all board members. There have only been a couple of reported instances over the past ten years of potential theft of water. The city has 37 fire hydrants and discussed a fire hydrant maintenance program. They received a recommendation from Cross Country Utility Maintenance who provides services for the city of Adamsvillle to inspect all hydrants and report back to the board on necessary repairs and estimates of costs to the city. The board passed an expenditure of $1,795 to have all hydrants inspected. The remainder of the discussion revolved around a review of paper work required for the waste water board. The city is investigating ways to cut expenses to attempt to avoid increasing water rates.
tion on the waiver by the end of the year. Jackson said the uncertainty makes it difficult because the school district is aiming at a target that is uncertain. “We do want to continue and grow and improve in McNairy County,” Jackson said. According to the school system profile, there are 365 AfricanAmerican students, or about 8 percent of all students. There are 2,721 economically disadvantaged students, which amounts to nearly 65 percent of all students. The 573 students with disabilities make up around 13 percent of all students. The report card also includes revenue and expenditure data for the system. The local share of revenue for the system is nearly 20 percent, compared with the state average of nearly 39 percent. The state share of revenues for the local schools is nearly 65 percent, much higher than the state average of 46 percent. The federal share is about one percentage point higher than the state average. The report also shows that McNairy County’s per-pupil expenditure of $8,114 is lower than the $9,084 in the state as a whole.
Water loss of less than 35 percent is acceptable and last month the water department reported a loss of 34.5 percent. The city has over 60 miles of water lines at present. “We want to be in compliance with the state, but we can’t afford to lose money,” said Mayor Glisson. The board discussed the current tap fees were not covering the costs and a need to increase the fees to capture costs to the city. The board passed an increase of tap fees by $100 for a 3/4 inch meter to $450 and a one inch meter to $550. There are several departments currently utilizing city water to include Hardin County, Guys, Eastview, Pleasant Site, Stantonville and Michie Fire Departments. Documentation of any water use will be required of each department to secure better documentation of use. The board approved an expenditure of $11,168 to replace a control valve as recommended by a technician Todd Holt of Lynchburg who has repaired the gage at a cost of $3000 per visit twice in the last six months. A draft of recommendations will be forwarded to the water board by the first of December and a finalized by the board by the first of January and monitored for compliance. In final business, the board approved the city hall and community center as a command center for the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh to assist in first aid, etc. during the reenactment March 27 – April 1, 2012.

INDEPENDENT APPEAL v PAGE 5A
Ramer Commission considers children’s future
City reconsiders roundup By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
After hearing a presentation by McNairy County School District Technology Coordinator Terry Burns and others on behalf of the Roundup program , the Ramer City Commission unanimously rescinded its earlier motion to not participate in the program. Commissioners Bill Thomas and Danny Ayers were absent. This was Burn’s third visit to a city meeting this month. He had earlier appeared at the Eastview and Adamsville meetings. He was joined by Ramer Elementary School science teacher Lisa Roten, wife of Commissioner Randy Roten and Karen Lange, Family Resource Center Program Director and volunteer coordinator for the Regional Economic Development Initiative. The Roundup program, first proposed by Selmer Mayor David Robinson, would round up utility bills to the nearest dollar and the money raised would go half to the One to One technology program for the schools and half for the Last Dollar Scholarship program. This program would provide scholarships for county seniors on a first come, first serve basis to attend college or vocational-technical school, after other sources of financial aid such as Pell Grants and Lottery Scholarships are exhausted. Burns told the commission he has been technology coordinator for 18 years. There are at present more than 40 One to One classrooms in the county, according to Burns. They are in the fifth and sixth grades, with some in the seventh grade and some in high school. “We first picked teachers that really want to do this and that works real well and then we decided to move it up,” Burns said. The program first got some money from the government but it is dwindling away, Burns told the commission. “This One to One program works. I’ve seen it work in private schools in Memphis, in Canada. We took a trip up there to see it and I knew it was gonna work to come back here and it works here,” Burns said. He invited the commission to visit Roten’s class and some of the other One to One classes in Ramer. “It’s an excellent program. The kids love it...I’m just asking you to think about it. It’s a volunteer thing. The customers have to commit to it. It’s not mandatory. It’s not a tax. It’s a volunteer thing,” he said. Burns recalled that he wasn’t an athlete or at the top of his class when he graduated from high school. He said if it hadn’t been for his parents, part time jobs and a bank loan, he wouldn’t have been able to go to college. “I borrowed the money from the bank and I paid it back. It took me a long time and that was a long time ago. A horrible story would be for me is that they told me a teacher had borrowed $100,000… and she’s gonna teach and has to pay that back. I don’t know how she can do that in any length of time at all,” Burns said. Roten who has been a One-to-One teacher for six years recounted a story about how the laptops provided by the program got her out of a jam. The human body
Support for youth sports
systems were included on the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program, but the topic was not included in her textbook. She had her class research the topic on the internet and build models of one of the systems. When she taught at Adamsville, Roten was one of the first five teachers to get One-to-One laptops for her classroom. Roten recounted how one group built a model of the digestive system and said, “It was really a neat model. They couldn’t have done that research and gone that in depth if they hadn’t had the computers. It’s a good program.” Lange, who along with Deidre Beene, is a volunteer co-coordinators for the REDI Last Dollar Scholarship program, addressed the commission next. There were originally two components to the REDI program, Lange said. The first was to get kids ready for college through help with their Free Application for Federal Student Aid and the second was the scholarship. However, this second program fell through, according to Lange. The first part is very much alive, Lange told the commission. Lange noted that the Roundup program is voluntary and the water customers can opt out. This program would cost the average family $6, Lange said. Lange said that the applications for the Last Dollar scholarships are currently being worked on and that that $500 scholarships are the amount that is being contemplated. “We’re hoping that the dollar amount will grow, she said. She said that the program is designed for needy students who do not make the top 10 percent of their class and that $500 can make or break a child getting postsecondary education. One thing Lange mentioned is that the scholarships can pay for books. “Maybe their ACT scores are not such that they can get into one of the other colleges, so they can go to the tech school or other college then transfer in,” Lange said. Lange said that the money from Roundup will be kept in McNairy County. “I can’t talk enough about it. Of course, I talk about it and as you can see, I’m very passionate about it. I know that there are so many kids that these scholarships, these small scholarships, but to them, they are not small that they make all the difference in the world,” she said. When the applications are completed an evaluation committee will look at them, Lange told the commission. Burns added that the scholarship money stays in the state. “One of the major problems with not accepting it last time is that our software is not compatible with keeping up with it,” City Administrator/Recorder Tabitha Dickey observed. “I know that they’re working on what can be done,” Lange said. “I wouldn’t want to put a burden on anyone like that so we’ll work together and do what we can,” Burns said. “I have no problem with doing it if we can do it,” Mayor George Armstrong said.

Ramer youth sports organizer Thomas Horton appeared before Ramer’s Nov. 21 City Commission meeting to update the city on his activities in the two months since he last appeared before the board, to request that the city sponsor a basketball team and to advocate the formation of a Parks and Recreation Board. The commission voted to sponsor the basketball team at a cost of $150. Mayor George Armstrong said that he would consult Municipal Technical Advisory Service on the proper procedure to set up a Parks and Recreation Board. He also said he would ask for volunteers for the board in the ad for the commission’s next meeting in January. The commission will not be meeting in December. One question that would have to be determined is whether it would have to be done by ordinance or amending the city’s charter. Once the proper procedure is known, the board could be established in a called meeting, Armstrong said. City Manager/Administrator Tabitha Dickey said the board would have to be in the annual city audit. Horton told the board that he has moved from soccer to basketball and that the teams that he has organized are playing at the First Baptist Church. Horton said he has ten three-onthree basketball teams at present. Only players who are not playing for the junior high are eligible to play in Horton’s league. He noted that Bethel Springs has
similar recreational facilities as Ramer and has created a Parks and Recreation Board. “I would like to do that. There’s no cost,” he said. Horton said he has 60 kids playing soccer. “That’s unheard of,” he said. Horton announced that he is taking over the Dixie Youth League and proposed that the city purchase a mower for the ball field and offered to mow it himself. He also proposed starting a program for the physically challenged. Other ideas he presented to the board is having a park day and cleaning up the tennis courts. “We sure don’t want to quench your enthusiasm. It sounds like, to me, if it takes off as well as you hope it does—I hope it does—you’ll need a Park and Rec Board because it sounds like you need some help,” said Commissioner Randy Roten. “This is something that I’m passionate about,” Horton said. “Well, I wish you the best of luck,” Armstrong said. In other news from the meeting, the board unanimously passed a debt management policy on first reading. The policy limits the commission from incurring debt that amounts to more than ten times operating revenue. The policy will be considered on second reading at a special called meeting on Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. “We probably need to pass this, because without it, we can’t borrow money,” Armstrong said. “We don’t owe a dime,” Armstrong added.

SUNRISE By David Coy
Uncontrollable Emotions are very intense, consuming, and almost impossible to control. Perhaps that is one of our most difficult challenges; we try to control our emotions under extreme duress. They do not develop or surface in an orderly manner. As one writer describes it, you cannot check off emotions as if on a list. One minute we may be sobbing and the next struggling with depression and guilt. It is not uncommon for these manifold emotions to become entangled and swirling in our mind. As a result we may feel overwhelmed and out of control in regard to our emotions. This is a very uncom fortable and frightening position to find ourselves. It is also common for our ability to focus and concen trate to be impaired. Thus response may be confusing. We may want people around us sometimes and then other times we may desire to be alone. “If only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales. It would surely outweigh the sands of the sea; no wonder my words have been rash.” I think we have gone through a metamorphosis in recent generations. I think our parents and grandparents knew how to cope better than we seem to be. Maybe they were more resolute than we appear to be today. I think it involves two crucial ingredients that we need more, faith and hope. We need to grow in these two characteristics. When we have hope, a deep abiding hope for the future we will be able to withstand the storms of life firmly. Hope exists when faith is alive and strong. Families are not as important as they once were. We need to resurrect our value of being a part of and depending on a family system, whether physical, spiritual or preferably both. This is Sunrise.

Letter to the editor
A graduates salute to Mr. Bobby Frank Huggins Selmer folks recently lost by natural causes, one of their most subtle, influential and long-time youth guardians ever; his name was Mr. Bobby Frank Huggins. Over one-half century ago, Bobby Huggins undertook ownership of the Selmer Pool Hall to make a living by providing games, food and good service to its patrons; of that I am sure. I am also sure that Bobby took on and wound up with a lot more on his plate than just the day to day grind of running a store-keep business. From the very start, Bobby Huggins promptly became a leadership figure, a youth counselor, and an endeared mentor to multitudes of our local male youth and young adult populations. They were teens and young men that came in from all rungs of the social ladder and like all young males, had a thirst for acceptance, camaraderie, and a high-spirited need to play and compete. As a bonus, they also found a most friendly comforting sanctuary
at Selmer Pool Hall. As a Selmer High School student, it became an everyday lunch time ritual for me to drive off of The Hill to patronize Selmer Pool Hall...Bobby Huggins Slug Burgers were the best in town, they were loaded however you wanted and were definitely within ones budget at 15 cents each. Hot dogs dressed the same were also l5 down, as were a bag of chips, a pecan pie and a soft drink from a selection that included my favorite - NEHI Peach. As you might guess, a game of pool was 15 cents as well. Yes sir, Selmer Pool Hall was indeed a safe and fastpaced 15 cent fun spot for all local young men, be it lunchtime or otherwise. Bobby Huggins and the Selmer Pool Hall are no less than icons of this community. Bobby catered to, listened to, cared for, and subtly directed the male youth of this good town every day – year after year after year. During my time of upbringing and my association
there, I never saw negative and bad things either promoted or allowed at Selmer Pool Hall...l never witnessed a fight, an injustice uncorrected, or a lasting ill-will feeling between any of its patrons. Bobby Huggins was truly and fully respected by all that entered his doors. He was an excellent referee, a fair judge, a daily promoter of goodwill and a kind-hearted skipper to all. In addition, Bobby Huggins and the Selmer Pool Hall were indeed true catalysts. They were the catalysts that annually brought together and nurtured countless lifelong friendships between our young men as wave after wave of them “passed through” Selmer Pool Hall en route to becoming well anchored, productive and successful adults. Bobby Huggins was indeed a long time and unsung champion among us. Today, Selmer Pool Hall has been converted into a Jesus Cares office; an appropriate continuation of use, I would
say, for Jesus was already caring at that location and had been doing so for over the past fifty years. Bobby Huggins was indeed the man who daily toiled and achieved there to help keep that caring a true fact...“Applejack” was a genuine Good Shepherd. He was a devout servant to his “boys” and to his fellow man. He was a wise Life Coach for those who asked for help; especially for those who were not getting good guidance and a helping hand from home. As one of his former “students” and long-time friends, I am truly grateful to have known him; to have spent time with him and to have shanked more than one embarrassing nine iron shot in his presence. I am also certain that I am only one among many, many others who are truly missing his presence today. What a rocksolid good contributor to our local young people and to the American way of life Bobby Frank Huggins was. Fred Felker of Selmer, Tenn.

Family Reunion
McNairy County Health Care
Main Street Pharmacy opens in Selmer By Amber Price Staff Writer
Last Thursday marked the official opening of Mid-Town Pharmacy in Selmer. The business is located in the new Primecare Medical Center building on East Court Ave. According to Pharmacist, Ann Maley, the new pharmacy is independently owned by a group of local investors, and currently employs nine individuals. Mid-Town Pharmacy has three pharmacists on staff. Manley and Christy Doyle, who are both from McNairy County, and Clay Cooper, who is from Henderson, Tenn.
Wednesday, December 7, 2011
Even though the location of the pharmacy is adjacent to Primecare, the business is an independent entity from the medical center. “We currently take most insurance cards,” said Manley. “It doesn’t matter where you go to the doctor.” According to Manley, the locally owned pharmacy plans to focus on customer service. There is a convenient drive through available, and the business hopes to offer speedy service without the long waits for customers. The new pharmacy will be open to serve customers on weekdays from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m., and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Have you ever attended a reunion? In the past few weeks I attended a high school reunion and also a family reunion. At my class reunion I had the honor of seeing old friends who have played a part in the history of my life. One person that stands out in my mind is Jackie Joyner. I was in class with Jackie from the first day to the very last and he still remembers my birthday every year. Now that’s a lot of birthdays! What a special friend! My family reunion brought cousins from several states. For an entire weekend we shared old memories and new struggles in our lives. As I thought about my old friends and my family, I began thinking about what makes a family or a friend. One you choose, the other you do not. You may pick your friends but you cannot pick your relatives. A biological family is a group of people who have the same blood flowing through their veins. However, I have another family who live and reside at McNairy County Health Care Center. I never had the pleasure of knowing my grandparents. If I could choose from our residents, several instantly come to mind like Ms. Pearl Wilson and Mr.
Carmon McCanless. If I chose parents, it would be difficult. I would have lots of mothers. Ms. Rosemary Landreth teaches me how to be “classy”, Ms. Lucille McCormick teaches me how to make lemonade from the lemons in my life and Ms. Maggie Lawson encourages me with her beautiful smile and quick mind, even though she has many struggles. Mr. Charles Hornbuckle, even though he is blind, refuses to think of himself as handicapped. Mr. Malcolm Hooper can make me laugh even on a bad day. Many of our residents are also wonderful “brothers or sisters” and I could go on and on. To me, a family is a group of people who share their struggles and joys in life. That’s what our residents and staff do every day. They share the good days and also the bad. Most afternoons you can find a group gathered in the front lobby sharing their day. For today, love your family and treasure your friends. To my family here and at home, you are the best. To all my friends, Happy Birthday in 2011, just in case I forget your day. Until next time….

Lott honored for 700 career wins By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer
Stripes of a referee By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer
The excitement and thrill of the games are experienced not only with the athletes and fans but with the referees too. It is impossible to be as close to the action as an official, who has a close-up view of almost every play. In the past few years, I have come to believe that a referee can behave as one of two possible personalities. Either the ref can be described as white with black stripes or black with white stripes. The white with black stripes personality consists of unbiased, honest calls and a friendly, upbeat attitude. Conversely, the black with white stripes personality seems consumed with power and willing to make any call necessary to upset the antagonist. Mistakes are made and even the slightest error from an official can change the game entirely. In the state of Tennessee, as of May 2010, sports officials earn an annual average wage ranging from $16,190-$21,730, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Very few people dream of becoming a referee and who can blame them with the stressful, split second decisions that can provoke an argument or a fight at any moment? In the past, the ref was the ultimate authority. Today, there is technology that can slow down time and show exactly what happened. In the World Series a thermal imaging camera is used that takes away all the distraction and clearly shows exactly whether the ball was in the strike zone or not. What does this mean for refs? Now every call that they make can be questioned and they can be proven wrong, whether their call is reversed or not. Cameras and other technology don’t always go against the officials though. Some sports allow the ref to review the instant replay before making the call to ensure that they made the right call. Cricket uses a “third empire.” Tennis uses the Hawk-Eye or MacCam. As technology progresses cameras are showing up everywhere. Cellphones now have high resolution photo and video capability. The time may come when the ref of local sports go to the video before making an uncertain call.
Many coaches only hope to achieve what Coach Jerry Lott of the McNairy Central Lady Bobcats has accomplished in his career. Lott was honored with a plaque handed to him by Athletic Director Danny Day in front of the crowd that had just witnessed a win over the Wayne County Lady Wildcats on Saturday night. The audience clapped their hands and “Jerry, Jerry, Jerry” chanted from the student body as he accepted the award. On Nov. 22, Lott reached a milestone of 700 career wins as the head coach of the Lady Bobcats against the Middleton Lady Tigers with a 52-35 win on the road. Since 1977 Coach Lott has led the Lady Bobcats to seven District Championships, two Regional Championships, 10 Sub-State appearances, and has taken three teams to the State Tournament. During his tenure at McNairy Central High School, he has been named District Coach of the Year a total of 11 times and in the 2004-2005, Lott was named the A.F. Bridges Athletic District 6 Coach of the Year. Former and current Lady Bobcats, manger, and coaches, along with friends and family autographed a Wilson basketball as a gift and gathered in the cafeteria to celebrate Lott’s achievements with cake and punch.

McNairy slams competition By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer
McNairy Central sent Wayne County packing to Waynesboro, Tenn. with two losses under their belt Saturday night. The Lady Bobcats acquired their second win in a row over the Lady Wildcats 55-44. The Bobcats attained their third season win with a whopping 41 point lead, 70-29 against the Wildcats. Wayne County is very talented and athletic. Last year the Lady Wildcats earned the title of state champions and the Wildcats had experienced an absence of a few players this weekend due to Wayne County competing and winning in the finals of Division I Blue Cross Bowl Class 1A Football Playoffs, taking the place of State Champions in football. After observing the opponents in previous matches the McNairy Central coaches were prepared to win. Leading the Lady Bobcats with the first basket, Senior Tierra Lusk scored from short range to keep pace with the Lady Wildcats. McNairy took a four point lead at the end of the first quarter with a threepoint shot nailed by Chelsea Bodiford. A couple of Wayne County players came off the court due to injuries. Also a mishap occurred on the
officials watch as there was confusion involving a McNairy shooter at the foul line. The officials instructed the lady to shoot oneand-one at the line, but did not give her a second attempt after making the first foul shot. After the referees huddled and the roar of the crowd raised, puzzled by the situation, they decided the give the shooter the second foul shot. Defensively, the team executed the full court press, attaining approximately 14 steals and along with outscoring Wayne County in every quarter, the Lady Bobcats were able to come away with the win. “We had a good defensive effort,” said Lady Bobcat Coach Jerry Lott. “Offensively, we forced some shots and had too many turnovers against their zone.”

After losing only a single game to Hardin County in the regular season, the Bethel Springs Rebels have won the last four games in a row, creating a 7-1 overall record and a record of 3-0 in the county. The Rebels latest win was at home Tuesday against the Pickwick Southside Eagles 42-31. Trailing and attempting the catch up for the majority of the game, the Rebels eventually pulled through in the final six minutes. Dylan Crabb tied the game at 25 with a three-point shot, and Darwin Kelly took the lead with a fast break layup early in the fourth quarter. Bethel held on to the lead and finished eleven points ahead. Previous to the boys’ game, the Lady Rebels took an upsetting fall of 26-13. Bethel only had a six point deficit in the fourth quarter, but as time expired the Lady Rebel had to improvise with making Southside shoot free throws in hopes of gaining possession from rebounds. The Lady Rebels have had a hard season and the upsets of almost winning is worse than a blowout game. Homecoming night approaches and is scheduled for Thursday followed by a game against Adamsville Junior High. The event will begin a 4:30 p.m. with a $5 chili dinner, a ceremony honoring the late assistant principal Rickie Graves, the announcement of the homecoming court, and lastly the final county opponent not yet played, the Cardinals.

Lady Cards stay hot, Cards continue slide MCnairy From Page 1B
By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
Lady Cards- 72 Corinth- 52
An offensive outpouring against the Lady Warriors in Corinth last Friday night led to a 72-52 victory and added on to the hot start out of the gate for the Adamsville Lady Cardinals. “We had five players in double figures and 31 steals,” said head coach Todd McGee. “It’s very special for us to do that.” Senior Brianne Knight was one rebound away from a tripledouble and only two assists shy of a quadruple-double, recording 17 points, 11 steals, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists in the Lady Cards’ 20-point thrashing of the Lady Warriors. Nikki White also had an impressive outing, hitting five threepointers and leading the Lady Cards in scoring with 20 points. Adamsville began the game out-hustling Corinth and knifing through the Lady Warrior passing lanes, ripping away steal after steal as they took an early 23-13 lead into the second quarter. AHS continued the trend building upon their lead, but before the half was over, CHS cut the lead back down to nine. The Lady Cards exploded after the break, outscoring their counterparts 25-8 in the third quarter thanks to some extremely pesky defense and the ability to capitalize in transition after forcing turnovers. Adamsville led by 24 when the fourth quarter started, but Corinth was not ready to call it a night. The Lady Warriors began the final period on a 12-0 run, cutting the Lady Cards’ lead to 13. After a few timeouts, AHS got their act together, tightened up the defense, and coasted to a big win on the road. “I thought we played really hard, but we let them back in it by fouling and taking bad shots,” McGee said, “but we started playing a little smarter at the end and did what we had to do to get the win.” That win gave AHS it’s first 3-0 start since the 2004-2005 season, and the Lady Cards attempted to make it 4-0 when they hosted Wayne County last Monday.

Corinth- 79 Cardinals- 50
The Cardinals' season has not begun the way they had intended after leaving Corinth High School last Friday night with a 79-50 loss, which was their third straight. The team's depth improved with the addition of their football players who returned to the basketball squad after a very successful season on the gridiron, but the Cards were still without starter Jalen Kendall, who sat out with the same ankle injury that
kept him from competing in the football state semifinals. “I think they wore our football guys down toward the end of the game, but I think we got better,” said Nathaniel Root, first year head coach of the Cardinals. “There were a lot of good things I saw in the game that we're going to take out of this, and I saw a lot of things we have to improve on... I was really impressed how our guys never gave up.” Corinth began the game on a 15-4 run, and Root quickly called a timeout to stop the bleeding. The Warriors were creating points in transition after forcing turnovers by the Cardinals. They were also finding wide-open shooters in the corners when the AHS defense collapsed on the lanes. Talking it over proved to be effective, and AHS began to crawl back into the game, ending the quarter down only 11. Adamsville was down 16 at one point in the second quarter, but found a way to sure up the defense and get some shots to fall keeping it a 12-point game at the break. After halftime, the Cardinals went on a 6-2 run, cutting the Warrior lead to eight, but Corinth answered back loudly with a 21-2 run of their own, and by the end of the third, the game was nearly out of reach with CHS leading 5930.

After a brief ceremony and celebration that honored Lott for his 700th career win as coach of the McNairy Central Lady Bobcats, the crowd focused on the Bobcats second home appearance. Rameil Pollard, a 6’4’’ senior, managed the tipoff with an airborne pass to Jordan Burton, who dropped the first short from close range. The crowd clapped and cheered as point guard, CJ Barnes dunked the second basket. Holding the Wildcats to only two points, the Bobcats led the first quarter by 17 points In the second quarter, Pollard blocked a shot on defense and then lopped a pass cross court to Barnes, who fired up the audience with another slam dunk. Leading 39-16 at the half, Bobcat Coach Steve Forsythe gave the bench an opportunity to compete. The young, sophomore class accumulated a total of 14 points. Coming off the injured list, Jonathan Nixon debuted for the first time this season since the daring heart surgery performed in Sept. Nixon shocked everyone with his intense effort. “We passed the ball really well tonight and our defense was the best we have played so far,” said Forsythe. “We were able to get everybody into the game and had 13 players score. We dominated the paint and we have to continue that to be successful.”
Macayla Kiddy turns to sprint down the court after pulling down one of her six rebounds against Corinth last Friday night. Adamsville went tic for tac with Corinth in the fourth, but needing an offensive explosion late the Cardinals could not mount the comeback necessary to earn a victory on the road against an extremely quick and athletic Corinth team. “I was really impressed with the way everybody responded... we've got to get better every single game,” said Root. “Even though the score didn't show it, I think we took a step forward.” Despite the slow start, Root
feels the team is still a dangerous one. Root says the football players bring a lot of energy, leadership, and a winning mentality back to the team, and with a tough upcoming schedule with games against McNairy Central and Middleton, they are going to need it. One bright spot in the Cardinals' early season slump has been the emergence of freshman Tucker Campbell, who has averaged 12 points and nearly five rebounds per game and leads AHS in both categories. The loss against Corinth saddled Adamsville with a 0-3 record before facing Wayne County last Monday night in a game previously scheduled for Nov. 29. AHS CHS

Gray takes title in lopsided championship week By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
The NCAA’s championship week was supposed to cater the last week of the Independent Appeal College Football Pick’em with exciting and tight ball games. Instead, it was a week of lopsided victories. Adamsville head football coach Brandon Gray finished Week #14 with a 3-2 record and a 44-26 record on the season to match my season record, but my 2-3 performance on the final week allowed first place to slip out of my hands and into Gray’s. McNairy Central coaches Jim Glover and Brandon Alldredge ended this year’s pick’em tied at 42-28 overall record, but Alldredge’s 3-2 record in the final week gives him the third place edge over Glover’s record of 2-3. Coach Renard Woodmore was in the mix all season and finished with a 3-2 record in the last week and a 4129 record overall. Congratulations to Gray on the victory. We’ll work on getting him a trophy. A big thanks goes out to all the coaches and their contributions in the first year of college football pick’em. Another congratulations goes out
to Greg Baker, this week’s Facebook winner. Baker did not have to beat the coaches to take home $75 worth of gift certificates to local restaurants, but his 4-1 record did, putting him on top in the season’s pick’em finale. The blowouts and upset victories in the final week of relevant college football before the bowl games kickoff made it difficult on coaches and Facebook contestants alike. The top-ranked LSU Tigers did not gain a single first down in the first half of their game against Georgia but only found themselves down three at halftime. In the second half, the Bayou Bengals put 35 unanswered points up on the Bulldogs to claim the SEC Championship and punch their ticket to the BCS National Championship game after the 42-10 rout. Clemson overcame some late season hiccups by getting their act together in the ACC Championship and beating Virginia Tech for the second time in 2011. The Tigers erupted for 28 points in the second half, held Frank Beamer’s Hokies to absolutely nothing, clinched a berth to the Orange Bowl, and locked down their first ACC title in 30 years. Preseason Heisman candidate
Landry Jones had a less than stellar day in the Bedlam game between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. The Cowboys took advantage of a Sooners team that turned the ball over five times, leading to a 44-10 blowout of their archenemy. Houston’s BCS hopes and Case Keenum’s Heisman hopes were shattered in the Conference USA Championship game. The Golden Eagles of Southern Miss walloped the Cougars 49-28, out-gaining the nation’s top offensive team. Wisconsin claimed the Big Ten title and got a little revenge in the only game on the pick’em slate that was not one-sided. The Badgers squeaked out a three-point win over Michigan State, who thwarted their hopes for an undefeated season earlier in the year. Though the college football regular season has come to a close and our first year of pick’em has ended, that does not mean the fun and games have concluded. We will now present the Independent Appeal’s first ever College Bowl Pick’em Confidence Poll. The rules are simple, the prize is great, and it makes even the least interesting bowl games more entertaining.

Margie Coleman had a doubledouble with a total of 18 points and 11 rebounds and Madelynn Lynch followed her effort with five points, four rebounds, and two steals.
The Michie Lady Blue Devils gained another win in the season with a 33-15 victory over the Bethel Lady Rebels at Michie last Thursday. “We hustled and played hard, but we had too many turnovers and we were not on our game last night,” said Coach Andrea Whitten. The Lady Blue Devils shot less than 50 percent from the free-throw line and had 17 turnovers in the game. Robin Moore was leading scorer totaling 10 points, four rebounds and one steal.
“I thought the boys came out and played really well tonight after we had a week off during the holiday. We had a great team effort tonight,” said Bethel coach Brian Franks. The Rebels shot 50 percent from the free-throw line, and Darrius Sanders was leading scorer with 15 points, one assist and five steals. “Bethel played an outstanding game. They are a good team and well coached,” said Michie coach Michael Cleary. “We played a little sluggish coming off the Holiday Break and will work on getting back to the way we played right before the break.”

Led by Christian Brown’s 21-point performance, the Ramer Eagles improved to 4-2 on the season and evened their county record at 2-2 with a 50-18 win over Adamsville last Thursday on the road. “Christian Brown had a great game defensively and offensively,” said Jeremy Blakely, Ramer head coach. “The whole team helped on offense. This was the first game where everyone was contributing offensively with scoring, assists, and rebounding.” The win was the team’s second in a row, and marked their third time cracking the half-century mark by scoring 50 or more points. Adamsville hung tight in the first quarter, but the Eagles blanked AJHS in the second, and Ramer took a 23-5 lead into halftime. The second half was more of the same as the Eagles continued to pour it on late. “This was another tough one. We didn’t execute our game plan very well, and we continued to turn the ball over too many times,” said AJHS coach Will Barkley. “We have a lot of work to do if we want to start competing every time we step on the floor.” The Cards’ loss was their fourth in their last five games as they fell to 1-4 overall and 1-3 in the county. They will head to Bethel on Thursday to matchup with the first place Rebels. Ramer headed to Chalybeate, Miss. and took on the Warriors last Monday and will take on St. Augustine at home next Monday.

Adamsville's Junior Lady Cardinals spotted Ramer's girls 18 points in the first half and fell to the Lady Eagles 31-10 last Thursday night at home. “I was proud of our hustle and the way we played as a team,” said Ramer coach Vonda Jobe. “We did a good job rebounding and played a good defensive game.” The Lady Eagles got scoring production out six players and only turned the ball over three times. Ramer's full-court pressure presented problems for AJHS throughout the contest. After coming out of the locker room up 18-0 at halftime, the Lady Eagles continued the assault on Adamsville and finished the game up by 21. “We didn’t play good,” said AJHS Head Coach Rebecca Ashe. “We have to take better care of the basketball or it’s going to be a long year.” The Lady Cards fell to 1-4 on the season and 1-3 in county play. Their game against Hardin County last Monday night was postponed and they will travel to Bethel Thursday to play take on the Lady Rebels for the second time. The Lady Eagles found themselves sitting on a 3-3 record after the win against Adamsville and tried to improve on that against Chalybeate last Monday. Ramer

History repeats itself as County Selmer battles Lexington Basketball By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer
Selmer met their demise against Lexington, who won by one point over the Lady Lions on their home court. The two evenly matched teams played on Selmer’s home court for the teams’ final regular season battle. Kaitlyn West tipped off the Lady Lions and went to the free throw line on the first play. She couldn’t get either free throw shot to fall, but was able to attain an offensive rebound to put the first two points of the game in off the backboard from underneath. The Lady Tigers kept up with the Selmer pace and led in the first quarter by two points. Mollie Nash tied the game at nine with a jump shot leaving a little over five minutes remaining in the first half. Four points from West and two from Molly Grace King gave the Lady Lions a jump to take the lead at the half 15-11, after holding the Lady Tigers to only two points in the second quarter. The third quarter was evenly matched as Selmer scored seven points to Lexington’s six points which left the Lady Lions with the lead 22-17. The teams raised the intensity level in the final six minutes of the game. With less than four minutes to go, Lexington tied the game at 22. West tied the scoreboard at 26, with only 20 seconds remaining. The game went into overtime and an additional three minutes was added to the clock. Lexington scored the first two baskets in overtime and a time out was called by Selmer Coach Robin York. There was a
disagreement during the break, as the head referee ordered two points to be taken off the board. York explained that the referee gave Selmer two points after a point was omitted from a free-throw shot in the fourth quarter. “It changed the whole pace of the game,” York said. “Either I should’ve got another free throw or the bucket should have counted. I told him he should have counted the basket because that is what he called. Four points later he comes back and says he is going to take it off.” The players took the court with a minute remaining and a deficit of six points, 24-30. If the basket did not count, then would the game have gone into overtime? Selmer’s’ spectators, players, and coaches were in awe and disappointed by the call from the official. From the free throw line, King scored the only counted point in overtime. Lexington, with the lead, forced Selmer to foul as the time quickly counted down. The Lady Tigers won, scoring eleven points in overtime.

Selmer’s Travon McClendon dribbles past a Lexington defender in the SMS’s 2-point victory over LMS last Thursday night. day’s matchup was heated as well, but the Lions were able to maintain a lead in the second half that gave them a hardfought victory. The Tigers led with a six point jump in the first until a pass from Chauncey Elder inside to Blake Sweat, who then put the first basket on the board for Selmer. The Lions played catch-up in the first half of the game, but did not overcome Lexington’s lead until the latter half of the fourth quarter. Briley Taylor tied the score at 35 with a free throw shot. Sweat took the lead by one point with a basket from underneath with twenty-two seconds stopped on the clock as Lexington called a timeout. The irony of the sudden timeout was that a Tiger guard had pulled a three-point shot after the referee blew the whistle and made the shot. “It was a good team win,” said Lions Coach Wayne Maxedon.” Basically we went from a standing defense in the first half to an attacking defense in the second half. We allowed Lexington 25 points in the first half and only 13 in the second half.” Lexington made a total of six three-pointers, but the Lions
strategy was to keep pressure on the team and this caused them to turn over the ball, whether by throwing it out of bounds or being called for walking. One major turn of events occurred in the first half, when Taylor came out of the game with a back injury. He came back in the second half and played hard, which picked the team up as well. Sweat had one of the best games of his basketball career, scoring 8-12 points in the second half. “We have a lot of improvements to make,” said Maxedon. “Rebounding could be a lot better and free throw shooting (525) has to get a lot better.” Selmer will travel to Michie on Thursday for their second county battle against the Blue Devils.

Lady Cardinal bowlers strike again Boys’ struggle continues By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
Bowling emotions are running at two different extremes in Adamsville. The girls are on top of the world after winning their last five matches, and the boys are stuck in a downward spiral after losing their last five. Freshman Kanesha Wright’s clutch heroics last Thursday against Brighton locked down 2nd place in the region for the Lady Cardinals. Wright needed seven pins in the last frame of AHS’s last regular season match to win, and she got them, locking down a 2nd place finish in the region for Adamsville’s girls. Riding Wright’s efforts and Amron Forsythe’s match-best 502 series total, AHS rolled to a tight 1512 victory. On Nov. 28, the girls picked up big wins against Dyer County and Dyersburg in a tri-match Dyers-
burg hosted. The Lady Cards beat the DCHS 25-2 and DHS 26-1. With a 7-2 record and the region two seed in their pockets, the Cardinals will begin preparing for the region tournament and a possible run for a state title. The boys, on the other hand, have continued to struggle after losing to Brighton 22-5 last Thursday. The Cards also dropped their match against Dyer County 22-5 and their match against Dyersburg 234. Brad Wilkins’ 195 in the second game of Adamsville’s match against Brighton was the highest individual score for the boys in any of their three matches. With the three losses, AHS’s boys stand at 1-8 with their only win coming against Dyersburg in late October. *-Denotes Win in Match Results

Gray breaks MCHS tackles record By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer
McNairy Central Bobcat senior Kerby Gray
Photo by Kindra Brown
For the past 11 years, Willie Loving has held the record of most tackles in a season at McNairy Central with 126 tackles. As of Oct. 28, in the final game against the Lexington Tigers, inside linebacker Kerby Gray set the new record with 132 tackles. “He set a goal to break the record this year in tackles and that’s what he did,” said father, Jimmy Gray. “I am glad that he set out to do what he did and he wasn’t selfish about doing it either. He played where he needed to play. We are proud of him.” Gray led in tackles his junior and senior year of football, making a total of 89 tackles and 43 assists. He had 18 tackles alone in the game against the Adamsville Cardinals. “Our biggest thing about Kerby is, he never gives up,” said mother, Jill Gray. “Even if the team is losing, he is still out there playing his heart out.” Growing up a native of Selmer, Tennessee, Gray found lifelong friends along the way. In fourth grade, he joined peewee football and played for the Blue Bears He played on the same team along with McNairy Central’s Senior Quarterback, Hayden Kiestler. In junior high Kerby and Kiestler went their separate ways. Kiestler joined the Bethel Springs Rebels. Gray met with running back and middle linebacker, Justin Sutton at Selmer Middle School. The two led the Lions to an undefeated season in their eighth grade year and moved on to McNairy Central High School, where Gray and Sutton met back up with Kiestler. Looking back to the young years of when they began the sport of football, Gray compares the past with the present and how things have changed throughout the years. “I have a picture of me and Hayden when we played with the Blue Bears,” said Gray, “and then I have a picture of our senior year, when we played our last game.” In high school, Gray began as part of the kick-off team. Coach Tommy Browder led the team to the playoffs his freshmen year. As he grew older and bigger, Gray moved to different positions like outside linebacker and inside linebacker. During his senior year he was announced Player of the Week in the first and last week of October. “My best moment in football was in my junior year, against Hardin County when I got my first ever touchdown playing tight end,” said Gray. In the same game, I ran in a return kickoff and scored a touchdown, scoring a total of two touchdowns that game.” The young boys have grown and now it is time to prepare for the next step in life, but Gray will never forget the people who have inspired him most. “My parents have always been there for me through everything from peewee to my senior year to support me through everything,” said Gray. “Without them I wouldn’t be the young man I am today.” At each and every game, Gray’s family, from his brother and sister to his grandparents, are always there to cheer him on and support his team. “My grandfather Gary Kerby has also been there for me,” said Gray. “He is a man I want to be like when I get older. He would do anything for anyone and gives of himself more than anyone I know.” Academically, Gray has prepared for college life with a GPA of 3.3. He looks to pursue a career in Sports Training and Physical Therapy or in Education, so that coaching is an option. The main overall goal is to continue as an athlete, while building a profession. “Football has always been a major part in my life and I hope to continue playing in the future,” said Gray. As the oldest of three children, Gray looks to stay close to home and is looking into local colleges. Recruiting has changed over the past decade, as players, coaches, and parents submit videos via internet. The sky is the limit for Gray, but the deadline approaches. “It doesn’t seem real that it has come to this,” said mother Gray. Within a blink of an eye, a small child grows to be a responsible, young adult. Accomplishing so much in such little time, Gray is certainly an athlete and a leader that anyone can look up to.

Brittney Kirk: A Champion in Gold Rachel Burns
This summer, Brittney Kirk competed in the National Family Career Community Leaders of America Competition in Anaheim, California. Kirk had to create a portfolio about the interior design career and memorize a presentation about her subject, Career Investigation, or Investigated Interior Design. This Competition was held this July. “The interior design profession is interesting and the presentation helped give me the experience with talking in front of others,” says Kirk. She knows she will be competing again this year but is unsure on which category to pursue. photo submitted

Holiday shoppers should remember these tips when buying gift cards NASHVILLE, TN – Gift cards are handy presents – especially for people who seem to have at least one of everything. During the winter shopping season, a gift card can be ideal. But for all the conveniences of gift cards, they often come with fine print that can make them less than perfect. Here’s how consumers can keep that gift card’s policies from dumping snow on their gift-giving this winter: Check expiration dates and fees. In Tennessee, expiration dates, fees and other terms must be clearly disclosed at the time of purchase. The ex-
piration date and fee must be legibly printed on the gift card. Ask about restrictions. Some card issuers deduct a monthly fee from the card or apply inactivity fees, if a card has not been used for a period of time. These fees will reduce the value of the card. Some gift cards do not allow cash refunds for a remaining balance on a card. You will have to either forfeit the balance or buy additional items. Know what it will cost. Major shopping mall operators charge fees for gift cards. Gift cards issued by banks and credit card companies often
expire and tend to add fees. Fees – including activation fees, transaction fees, maintenance fees and inactivity fees – can lessen a card’s value. Ask what to do if the card is stolen. Always keep a receipt. Since gift cards are not usually registered to an individual purchaser, they can be easily stolen. Some stores urge customers to access their website and register cards in case they are stolen. Check on purchase exemptions. Ask if the card may be used at both a store’s physical location and the store’s website. Also ask if the card may be used at other locations, not
Landowners eligible for grant (Nashville, TN) - The USDANatural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Tennessee is announcing that agricultural producers who want to receive fiscal year 2012 funds in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and/or the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) should apply by Thur., Dec. 15. Sign up for both programs is year round, but applications receiving 2012 fiscal year funding must be received by Dec. 15 to compete for funds in the first round of funding. Only those applications that meet the TN EQIP and WHIP Screening Tool and are “ready to implement” will be ranked for consideration in the competitive process. Producers should contact their local NRCS office right away to develop or revise their conservation plan to ensure program eligibility. A conservation plan can help producers make critical decisions on practices needed to address natural resource concerns. Landowners or operators are also encouraged to apply as soon as possible so that all preliminary requirements for producer and/or land eligibility can be completed or updated as appropriate. A suite of high priority practices will be ranked and funded frequently throughout the year as long as funds are available. These practices will be funded in the Beginning Farmer, Socially Disadvantaged Farmer, Water Quality Priority Practice and Special Initiatives fund codes throughout the year. EQIP is a voluntary conservation program for agricultural producers that promote agricultural production and environmental quality as compatible national goals while addressing natural resource concerns. EQIP offers financial and technical help to assist eligible participants install
or implement structural and/or management practices on eligible agricultural land. WHIP is a voluntary program which encourages creation of high quality wildlife habitats. Through WHIP cost sharing, landowners work with NRCS to develop or enhance upland, wetland, riparian, and aquatic habitat areas on their property. “When landowners take part in conservation cost share programs, the funds filter through the community, and the initial investment rolls over several times, benefiting the whole area,” said Kevin Brown, Tennessee NRCS State Conservationist. The funds from both EQIP and WHIP help farmers improve the natural resources on private working lands in Tennessee. Conservation practices help the environment while also making the land more productive by addressing issues like water quantity, water and air quality, wildlife habitat, and treatment of specific invasive species. Applications that are “ready to implement” on Jan. 27 will be ranked together. A conservation planner will develop a conservation plan that includes practices, engineering designs, and program for each contract before any contract is approved. Once a contract has been awarded, producers are expected to begin implementing conservation practices as soon as possible. Local NRCS field offices have complete details for their county. Local contact for McNairy County is Donald Roan, he can be contacted at 731-645-5466 (ext. 3). Additional information and access to ranking criteria, practices, and cost share rates for EQIP and WHIP can be found at www.tn.nrcs.usda.gov/programs. Easement Programs deadline will be announced in the near future.
