Burglars hit gravel pit, make off with $15-20K in equipment By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
Be on the look out for anyone trying to sell copious amounts of used tools. Burglars made off with $15-$20,000 worth of equipment from Tennessee Material Corporation at Stantonville Plant manager Kerry Stevens said the burglary occurred sometime between 6:30 p.m. last Saturday night and 6 a.m. Sunday morning. “They cut a lock on our back gate…they came in and used our own cutting torches from our service truck, cut the welders off and our compressors and broke into the shop, stole all of our pressure washers, anything that was worth any money…the battery chargers a roll around tool boxes…all our air impact wrenches, acetylene torches,” Srevens said. The thieves used the front end loader
from the business to load their haul into their truck. “We’re still running…we’re still borrowing welders and cutting torches…every time something breaks, we’ll have to go borrow from Danny over here at Elam Trucking. We’re still running and getting stuff repaired, but it’s still on a day to day basis,” Stevens said. The business which employs a total of 20 people and has been there for 12 years and under the present ownership for two years, is not planning layoffs. The original name of the business was Adamsville Sand and Gravel. Charles Smith, the present owner has owned the business for the past two years, with Martin Marietta owning it between the two. Tennessee Material is not the only business that has been targeted by thieves. Owl Staff Photo by Jeff Whitten

Highway bandit robs, assaults woman By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
An Adamsville woman was allegedly robbed and assaulted by a man in a vehicle blocking the road on Dec. 2, according to a report provided by McNairy County Sheriff’s Deputy Jonathan Kellum. The woman, whom the Independent Appeal has chosen not to identify, told Kellum that she was driving on Highway 117, when she saw a Black Ford Ranger parked in the road. She thought it was her neighbor, so she stopped. She said a white male walked up to her car and asked if she needed any help. The male then grabbed her shirt and punched her in her face twice and grabbed her purse. She then drove off and went home. Credit cards, checkbook, her wallet and its contents,
her purse and eight gold one dollar coins were taken. A bank bag with $638 from her job was also in her purse. The victim of the crime described her assailant as about six foot tall, 160 pounds, in his 20s, clean shaven with black, shaggy hair and was wearing a dark coat and blue jeans. She said she had never seen the man before. The Independent Appeal has also received an unconfirmed report of a second incident at that location based on anonymous tips of a woman who was assaulted by a man fitting that the description of the suspect in this incident. However, when contacted, officials at the McNairy County Sheriff’s office said that they had not received information relating to the second attack. The incident is currently under investigation, but there are no suspects at this time.

Possible black panther sighting in Selmer By Megan Smith Staff writer
Last Friday, a reliable source in McNairy County reportedly saw a creature resembling a black panther in the woods outside of Selmer. The sighting occurred near McNairy Central High School. This report, while coming from an eyewitness account from a reliable citizen, is still considered unconfirmed evidence. Many reports of black panthers in West Tennessee have been made, though officials have not confirmed any of these sightings. The last confirmed report of these large predators making West Tennessee their home came from a documented case in 1972. Sighting reports can be found on multiple websites. Union University’s website has a page where residents of West Tennessee can report any panther sightings. McNairy County Game Warden Sam Bedwell said that a black panther sighting was possible, but not likely. “Tennessee Wildlife Resources gets 1000 calls a year on black panthers and cougars, but there has not been a documented case since 1972, so it is very unlikely, but anything is possible,” Bedwell said. Dr. Paul Avenel of Selmer saw a large black animal Dec. 11 at around 2 p.m. he was 6575 feet away from the animal. He was in the bathroom of his house when he saw the ani-
Leo za1
mal, which was solid black and around 2 feet high. “There was no chance that this was a household pet,” he said. His property consists of 12 acres, half of which is in the city limits and half outside. It is on Highway 64 on the way to Adamsville. “It is not an isolated area,” he said. He said this time of the year, he can see two or three houses from his this time of the year. There is about 12 acres of woods
beyond which there is not a house for miles. Part of this area is wooded and part is farmland. Avenel saw the animal moving away and did not think it had the movement of a dog, because of the way it swung its shoulder, he thought it moved like a cat. He said it had a tail around two feet long and was too big to be a household cat. He said he never got a full head to toe look at the animal because it was moving through the grass.
5 nabbed in Adamsville meth bust By Christen Coulon Editor
Last Saturday, McNairy County Drug Task Force Investigators busted a meth lab and arrested five individuals suspected of drug related crimes. Investigators Jamie Lowrance, Lynn Ingle, and James Frazier went to 251 Arendall Street in Adamsville to speak with Terry Jones about the possibility of methamphetamine being manufactured at her residence. While speaking with her Lowrance said that he and Frazier both detected an odor coming from inside the residence that they know through their experience and training to be the odor produced from methamphetamine being manufactured. Jones was taken into custody at this time. “I knocked on the door again and Talmadge Webb answered the door,” Lowrance said. “Webb had recently been convicted of a charge involving meth and we were aware of this.” When Web opened the door the odor was detected again and Lowrance said he could see that there was a white female inside the residence. Webb was taken out of the residence without incident and held along with Ashley Sweat, who was found outside the residence. Due to the exigent circumstances of a meth lab likely being in the residence the officers went inside to make the people in the residence come out. According to Lowrance, this was done for the safety of the persons in the house and to ensure that any evidence inside was not destroyed. Upon entering the house the officers said they found an emp-

ty house with a chemical odor inside the residence that was overwhelming. Lowrance said that he went to the trailers behind the residence and found the white female he had seen sitting on the steps of another house. Also, another white female was hiding in the shadows next to the same porch. At that time, the two women, Lindsay Lawrence and Patricia Kincer were taken into custody by the officers. Once the search warrant was served, an active meth lab was discovered inside the residence along with a small amount of marijuana and various items of drug paraphernalia. Officers said that among the items found inside the house were three "one pot" meth cook bottles, one bottle with pseudoephedrine soaking in it, cold packs that had the ammonium ni-
WEBB
trate taken out, coleman fuel, an empty lithium battery pack, two soda bottle tops with hoses mounted in them, coffee filters, and a pipe cutting tool to strip the lithium batteries of their lithium. The five persons arrested at the scene, were charged with initiation of a process intended to result in the manufacture of methamphetamine, promotion of methamphetamine manufacture, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Further investigation led to an additional count of promotion of methamphetamine manufacture for Kincer and Webb due to their purchasing products containing pseudoephedrine exceeding the amount allowed within 30 days. All five are held at the McNairy County Jail on $75,000 bond. The residence was quarantined due to the contamination from the meth lab.

For the love of literacy “Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life.” Mortimer J. Adler
Amber Kennedy Barham obtained her GED credential in 2010. She attended GED classes provided by the McNairy County Adult Education Program in Selmer. Amber entered the program as a twenty-year-old who had always wanted to work in the medical field. She realized that the first step in accomplishing her dream was to earn her GED. When asked how earning this degree
AMBER KENNEDY BARHAM
has impacted her life, Amber stated,” It has opened doors for me that were not possible without it. It gave me a second chance at life and put me where I needed to be!” Since completing her GED, Amber has received training as an emergency medical technician (EMT) - Basic IV and has received certification in Basic Life Support (BLS) for healthcare providers. She is currently employed as a medical office assistant for Dr. William F. Conway in Savannah, Tenn. Concerning her personal experience with the McNairy County Adult Education Program, Amber said, “It is worth every second of every day that you can put into your preparation for the test. The staff is so helpful and caring and will put you on the right road for your future.” She went on to share that this program and its staff hold a special place in her heart. Each week the Independent Appeal will feature a success story of an adult after obtaining a GED from the McNairy County Adult Education center. On February 9, 2012 the paper will sponsor “For the love of literacy” dessert tasting at the Selmer Community Center from 5 – 8 pm. to help raise much needed funding for adult education.
Over 500,000 Tennesseans cannot read or write well enough to function in daily life. In McNairy County alone 31.5% of our adult population does not have a high school diploma and many read at or below the fifth-grade reading level needed to earn a living wage. State-wide over a million do not have a high school diploma. The National Adult Literacy Survey found that over 40 million Americans age 16 and older have significant literacy needs. At the Independent Appeal, we want to do our part to assure our citizens continue to have the opportunity for free educational opportunities, attaining GED’s and becoming better citizens. We know that from the 2000 Census data that more than 5,510 people in the county do not have a high school diploma. Over the last 10 years, McNairy County Adult Education has served 3,277 adults. More than 716 GED’s were earned and many students have continued their education through post-secondary opportunities in the area. Last year the center lost $9,000 in United Way funding. If you want to be a vendor at the event or volunteer to help please call (731) 645-5346.
Guys officials get letter from Santa Claus By Janet Rail Publisher
Last Monday during their regularly scheduled meeting the mayor and board of aldermen opened a letter from Santa complimenting all the board on a job well done. He invited them to Family’s Restaurant in Guys for a free meal with all the trimmings. Mayor Keith Rinehart reported to the board that due to numerous responses from the community of Guys and the nation’s small communities he had received word that the Post Office would not close for another six months and may have a chance to stay open dependent upon legislative decisions regarding postal services nationally. The mayor also reported that they received a letter stating they did not send in their TLM insurance but verified in August the city mailed $3,540 in so will follow up with the broker Chambers Insurance to determine if there was a billing error as the city has not received another bill. A payment of $49,998.20 was paid to Federal Signal for the three tornado sirens after securing training on the management and maintenance for the sirens. All sirens are fully operational. A debt reduction policy was tabled until the next meeting. The board approved a $500 expenditure for the JC Shopping Spree to assist in the purchase of clothing and toys for area needy children per request of Alderman Chris Howard. The 2010 audit was presented to the board but review and approval tabled until next month. The board approved payment to the McNairy County Highway Department an expenditure of $6,245 for the paving on Capooth Road and a $356 for mowing and bush hogging on South Gin Road and Guys-Chewalla Road. The community center had a couple of families use the center during the past month and one family has it rented for Christmas Day. According to Alderman Wayne Henry the heating units are repaired and working fine at present. The board approved the Nov. 21 meeting minutes, tabled the financial report due to computer errors in the report and made a motion to pay all bills before adjourning.
Channel 3 Needs Bethel Elementary
Santa visits Rockabilly

Darby Benton, along with 75 other children, received a present in a standing-room only environment when Santa paid a visit to Rockabilly Cafe on 103 South Front Street in Selmer. Many elves helped to make Santa’s visit possible.
Were it not for Bethel Elementary School, the weather in Bethel would be a constant mystery. Bookkeeper Tammy Carroll said that the WeatherBug station was installed at Bethel Spring Elementary School about seven years ago. According to Carroll, the station benefits the school in many ways. “It gives us a warning of bad weather,” Carroll said. The station gives school officials information on coming weather, allowing them to be better prepared to deal with such things as tornado warnings, thunderstorm warnings, and snow, according to Carroll. BSES’s Project Enrich installed the station after the
school was asked if they were interested. The station cost between $7,000 and $10,000 to install, according to Carroll. The station includes a panoramic camera, a rainfall gauge, a thermometer, and a barometer. In Memphis, they can switch between different cameras on the station to form a panoramic view of the area and the weather. Anyone can view the information gathered by the station by visiting the Bethel Springs Elementary School website and following the link to the weather station weatherbug.com. Also, Channel 3 News uses the information obtained by the weather station. The station does not require any daily upkeep, and for repairs it must be sent off, Carroll said. A camera broke a few weeks
ago, and the station had to be sent off for repair, according to Carroll. Carroll said she had the website bookmarked on her computer, and it gives her updates anytime bad weather, including rainstorms, tornadoes, and snow, is on the horizon. The WeatherBug station can also be used to access forecasts, according to Carroll. From the website with the view from the panoramic camera, other stations can be accessed, and people can watch the weather as it progresses toward the area. Since this is the only weather station in the area, it makes Bethel Spring Elementary School and the WeatherBug Station indispensable assets to Channel 3 News, as well as anyone who is hoping to check the weather in the Bethel area.
v Correction In last week’s issue we reported that the airport’s replacement rotating beacon would cost nearly $100,000 and the trade-in value of the old lens was listed at $80,000. The true cost of the replacement beacon should have been listed at $13,000 (the amount of the grant and local investment). The trade-in value of the old lens should have read $8,000, however this amount had already been accounted for in the listed price. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Annual Shopping Spree helps area children By Christen Coulon Editor
In what has become a long running Christmas tradition in McNairy County, the annual McNairy County Children’s Shopping Spree helped county children celebrate Christmas a little early on Dec. 12 Many area children will have a brighter Christmas thanks to the efforts of Jack Cheshier, student volunteers, and the donations from local businesses and volunteers. The McNairy County Children Shopping Spree began its 29th year this month as volunteers from McNairy Central High School’s National Honors Society stood ready to help each children from each of the county schools. Daytime shoppers at the store bore witness to scores of happy children each with a teen helper from the NHS and other volunteers While these students were without a doubt happy to be excused from school for the better part of the day, the joy they got out of “playing hookie” was dwarfed by the joy they received from helping the underprivileged children to fill their Christmas wish list. This year’s event was able to help 315 children from county elementary schools realize their Christmas dreams. “This is a very special event, you really just need to be there to see it, it’s awesome,” Cheshier said. “The event provides assistance to the needy children at all of the el-
ementary schools in the county.” This year more than 70 donors came forward to help the event. In addition, there were corporate donors and $1,000 raised at this year’s McNairy Regional Alliance Hogfest. “Hogfest was a big help,” Cheshier said. Russell Ingle, director of chamber programs for the MRA said that the shopping spree was a logical choice as the title reciepient for the 1st Hog Fest, “It’s just a great thing their doing.” Ingle said he has also participated in the shopping spree event for several years. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” Ingle said. “It is an awesome charity.” While this event is funded entirely through private donations, Cheshier said that the tough economy creates a greater need for their service while at the same time makes it harder to raise money. Ingle also said that the tough economy has made the annual event all the more important. “As good as this charity is, it is something that you would like to see the number of children participating drop,” Ingle said in regards to the increased need due to the current economic state. “(There is a) greater need in the community for the event with the current economy which creates a double whammy because more kids need help but people have less to give so its harder to get donations,” Cheshier said. “But with all of the help this year it was a very good event.”

Postal Service delays closings By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
The United States Postal Service is delaying the closing or consolidation of any post offices until May 15, 2012 according to a statement released Dec. 13. This step was taken in response to a request by several U.S. Senators. “The Postal Service will continue all necessary steps required for the review of these facilities during the interim period, including all public-input meetings. The Postal Service hopes this period will help facilitate the enactment of comprehensive postal legislation. Given the Postal Service’s financial situation and the loss of mail volume, the Postal Service must continue to take all steps necessary to reduce costs and increase revenue,” according to the statement. The Postal Service has said it could shut down by fiscal year 2012. The Guys and Milledgeville post offices have received a 60day notice of potential closing. The USPS must then 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 then has 120 days to rule on an appeal. “We have been told it (the Donnie 731-610-0893
Guys post office) will not close before, I believe, June 2012, but it’s a good chance that it will not close at all,” said Guys Mayor Keith Rinehart. “I see that as a good sign. That sounds good to me,” said Milledgeville Mayor Dannie Kennedy. Kennedy said he believed that the reason for the moratorium was the influence of members of Congress and that possibly the post office could find other sources of funding that would allow post offices under threat of closure to remain open. USPS was studying 3,700 money-losing post offices for possible closure, starting in February 2012 and considering closing hundreds of processing centers in April. The Post office lost more than $5 billion in fiscal year 2011 and said it needs to reduce its costs by $20 billion by 2015. Committees of both the U.S House of Representatives and the Senate have passed postal reform bills, but neither are expected to be voted on by the House or Senate by the end of the year, according to the Los Angeles Times. The two proposals differ on whether Saturday deliveries can continue and how to offer relief for the multibillion dollar payment to pre-fund retiree health benefits. USPS says it

cannot afford these payments. The Senate bill would refund $7 billion in overpayments to a federal retirement fund, encourage a restructuring of health benefits and reduce annual payments into a future retiree health account. No other agency or business is required to make such payments. In response to criticisms that post offices were selected for closure without considering financial impact of closure, the service will produce an economic model for evaluating post office closures by February 2012. The model will consider geographic and demographic breakdowns of sales, among other factors not previously analyzed in creating its original list of post offices to be closed. Planned cuts to first-class service that would slow delivery will not occur before May 15. These cuts, which include eliminating the delivery of stamped letters the next day, for the first time in 40 years, were scheduled to begin in April. On Dec. 8, a group of Senators, mostly from rural states signed a letter to congressional leaders, asking them to add language halting closings for six months to the legislation. In all, about 100,000 postal employees could be cut and $6.5 billion could be saved, as a result of the closings.

Creek Sod Farm and Standard Asphalt have also been hit. “They caught those guys and they are in jail today. So it wasn’t them,” Stevens said. Stevens said he did not expect business to be interrupted, but anything that affects Tennessee Materials business affects concrete companies, diesel suppliers, food for workers and parts. “Every day we have a breakdown, it’s going to take me two or three times long to gather up stuff to do this repair with than if we had it on the job site. I’m going to have to call whoever to get what I need to go out there
and repair whatever breaks down. Yeah, it does slow me down, but it’s not gonna shut me down. It’s an interruption, but it’s not a stoppage,” Stevens said. The equipment was insured. Stevens said office personnel would get police report and file and claim and he didn’t know when the equipment could be replaced. “I’m not looking for it to be next week or anything. We’re going to piece together what we can…to get us by until we can get the insurance to replace what was stolen,” Stevens said. Tennessee Material Corporation sells sand and gravel to the county, state, to all the concrete and asphalt plants as well as the sand for icy weather. Other customers include Waste
Management, Milligan Concrete, River City, as well as other companies in Mississippi. “If anybody out there knows anything about it, we would appreciate them getting a hold of us and get these guys where they need to be. We need to get them off the street. It’s not just us, it’s all the businesses around here. These guys need to be behind bars. The way the economy is today, we are struggling to keep these boys employed and this really hurts us. If it gets bad enough, we’re going to try to work around it, but they are putting us in a bad bind,” Stevens said. “We’ve got leads. We’re still talking t ex-employees to verify alibis,” McNairy County Sheriff Guy Buck told the Independent Appeal last Monday.

Adamsville’s water department: ship shape By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
There were two reasons why more of downtown Adamsville was not destroyed in the Saw Meal fire on Nov. 28. The first being the volunteer fire fighters and the other is the Adamsville water department. “When you see the tragedy that happened to downtown Adamsville to the Saw Meal, the Dance Academy and the Tanning Alley, two resources allowed it to be put out, the volunteer fire fighters and an excess of 300,000 gallons of water. We were able to do something quite incredible. We had zero complaints, though not at peak time…We are grateful we had water to put out the fire and the customer service was not interrupted,” Adamsville City Administrator Steve Simon said. The system, which was installed in 1946 or 1947 has 3,412 customers and has 164 miles of line. The Adamsville water system originated when former Gov. Ray Blanton’s father, Leonard, put together the Tri-County water system that served Crump and surrounding areas, and this system was taken over by Adamsville. The system seems to be weathering the tough economic times relatively well. “I can tell you there is a little, but not much,” Simon said about people being behind on their bills, though he said he did not wish to minimize the problems of those who are having problems pay-
Finger appoints new recorder, approves center repairs By Megan Smith Staff writer
The Board of Alderman decided to renovate the Community Center in Finger because of recent water damage. After the water leak, the insurance company came to assess the damage and decided that the floor would have to be replaced. The insurance company is covering the floor replacement. The only cost to the town of Finger will be the $250 deductible. A construction crew removed the old floor and began to lay down the new flooring. Also, the water damage caused mold under the bleachers, which have been removed. Rather than replacing the bleachers, the board decided to lay ceramic tile around the outside of the court, where they can place additional tables and chairs. The board plans for the tiles to be painted red and white, matching the town’s baseball field. The first bid on the project was $79,800, though some has been added to this original number due to additional damage that has been found. The construction will last two to three weeks. The board hopes to open the renovated Community Center the Friday night before New Years and says that it will definitely be open for the New Years dance. Also, the Board of Alderman approved Resolution #2011-5.
This resolution stemmed from Municipal Technical Advisory Source request that every city pass a written debt management policy. As a result of the resolution, the city will not be able to exceed twenty percent of annual general fund revenues in debt expenditures per year, and they must notify the public anytime they make debt expenditures. The Board of Alderman recently hired a new recorder for their meetings. Theresa Robinson lives in Selmer and also works part time at a law firm and with the Drug Task Force. There was no financial statement available at the December meeting. Difficulties arose from the inability of the board to contact the previous recorder, but they will review all budgets since September at the meeting in January. The current budget was announced as $4,187.78. The board also discussed the new sign to be posted. The design for the sign was sent to the board for approval. The Board of Alderman approved the design provided a couple of minor changes be made. The sign will be red and white and will have the town’s motto, “A small town with a big heart,” in black lettering. The location for the sign has been approved by TDOT, and it should be constructed soon. The board discussed their need for a new alderman before adjourning the meeting.

Only 24 out of the 3,416, or less than 1 percent of customers are in danger of having their water cut off. Adamsville raised its rates in in order to prevent the state from mandating increases. In city, rates went from $13.13 per 2,000 gallons per month, up from $10.10. This was the first rate increase since 1999 and the city is planning to improve its utility department’s infrastructure. In September, an ambitious plan for a water and sewer upgrade was presented to the City Commission. This plan would cost $8 million and would be implemented over 15-20 years. This was purchased with a $750,000 Community Development Block Grant. The department requires a $30 non-refundable fee. In November, the staff presented suggested changes to the city’s utility policy that the city may consider at its December meeting. It will discontinue the second bill, called the “red card,” which covers utilities. Another suggested change allows adjustments for toilets, water hose leaks and leaky faucets. A third change is raising the adjustment rate to $3.50 in the city and $4.00 in the country.

Donations needed for memorial By Christen Coulon Editor
The Ruritan Club of Stantonville dedicated a site for a veteran’s memorial on Sept. 25, 2011. To date, a concrete base has been installed with six flag poles for the five military branches including a taller pole for the U.S. Flag, the state flag and a POW flag. “It’s a good thing for Stantonville, and it’s something we wanted to do to honor our troops.” said Ken Salvack of the Ruritan club. Through fund raisers and donations they were able to order a granite monument but additional funds are still needed for parking and to do site improvements and flag maintenance. Salvack said that Saltillo, Tenn. had done the same thing with their memorial, and that kind of inspired him to have a memorial here to honor the troops. He said that he wasn’t able to serve in the Vietnam era do to medical reasons and saw many of his friends go off to war, and he wanted to do something for the men who serve. While Salvack helped to spearhead this effort he was quick to recognize that this was a group effort to get the memorial in place. He said that the entire Ruritan club worked hard to get this up and that this memorial was erected as a result of a community effort and that they are making the final push to put all of the elements in place. “Ruritan club is a small club but they all just jumped onboard and said yes let’s do this,” Salvack said. Anyone wishing to help in this honorable endeavor can make a donation at any local bank in the McNairy County area. Donation jars have been placed at these banks by the Ruritan Club Individual donations can also be placed by calling the following Ruritan officers Salvack at (731) 632-9062, Larry Raines at (731) 632-3413 or Larry Russell at (731) 632-4924. They will be placing a plaque in the community center for all donations more than $100.

INDEPENDENT APPEAL v PAGE 5A
Selmer store charged with beer violation By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
Selmer Food and Gas has been charged with selling beer to minors and failing to obtain proof of age of the customer. According to Assistant Selmer Police Chief Kim Holley, in response to complaints of the establishment selling beer to minors, on Dec. 5, a confidential source was sent into the business and bought a bottle of Smirnoff Ice. The source, who was 18 years old, was able to purchase the item from Balindar Singh, who along with Kulwinder Kaur, holds the beer permit. Smirnoff Ice is a sweet, fruit-flavored beverage with an alcohol content of 5 percent, which is similar to that of beer. Singh did not ask the source for identification. Holley and Investigator Jamie Lowrance, of the Drug Task Force, who were running the operation, then went into the store to question Singh, who told the officers that he “carded” everyone. Singh invited the officers into his back room to look at his video camera. “So we looked at the camera and it showed him, selling alcohol to this 18-year-old young lady that we had sent in there and then I confronted him about the complaint the Friday before that, which would have been the 3rd about two 17-year-olds coming in there purchasing alcohol and asked him if he wanted to look back on his camera to see that and which he voluntarily looked back on his camera and we saw two 17 year-olds that done the same thing,” Holley said. He continued saying that there was no evidence of carding then, either. “I think this offense arises to a higher level than what we have been dealing with in the past as it is the actual permit
holder that did the selling,” Mayor David Robinson said. Holley explained that if a customer does not look over 35, the law requires that they be carded. Robinson noted that city ordinance provides for complete revocation. City Attorney Terry Abernathy said that it would be acceptable for the board to discuss the matter, but that it should be made certain that the owner, who was not in attendance, had been personally given notice of the charges and the meeting, before any action, such as revocation, is taken. “Before a license can be revoked, the license has to specifically say…that the board is going to consider revocation,” Abernathy said. “I handed to a girl out there smoking,” said Selmer Police Department Sgt. Ted Roberts, who served the notice. The board voted to continue the matter until next month, so that Singh could be served notice personally. In an interview with the Independent Appeal last Wednesday, Singh attributed his violations to errors in judgment rather than to bad intentions. “We are not going to make a million dollars selling beer to minors. If we break the law, we will be punished,” he said. Singh said that the confidential source looked as if she was over 35 years old. He said that he cards everyone now and people sometimes get angry. “No exceptions. No matter how many times they come in,” he said. Singh said that if the Selmer board revokes his beer license, he will have to shut down the store. “If there is no beer here, there are no sales,” he said. Singh showed the Independent Ap-
peal a tape of a white car pulling up and a young woman and an older man getting out and coming into the store. He contended that he sold the beer to the confidential source because she was with the older man and Singh believed that the older man wouldn’t allow the younger woman to buy beer if she was a minor. However, that sale would still be illegal if the woman did not look over 35. Singh first agreed to provide a copy of the tape to the Independent Appeal, but as of press time has not. After hearing a description of the tape Singh played for the Independent Appeal, Holley said last Thursday that incident depicted on the tape sounded like the incident in question. In other news from the meeting, the board voted to name the park on the former Dixie property, the Dixie Park, on first reading. This will become final on passage on second reading. They passed four items on second reading. They rezoned two properties in town. The former KFC property was rezoned from low density residential to general business. In another zoning matter, the board voted to rezone the properties between Pharr Avenue, N. Fifth Street, Warren Avenue and N. Sixth Street from medium density residential to medium density residential/duplex. The board also voted to update the fire code to the 2011 fire code. Finally, they eliminated the requirement that holders of beer licenses be located at least 300 feet from a residence. The vote on this issue was 4-1, with Alderman John Smith casting the lone no vote. Vice-Mayor Paul Simpson, along with Aldermen Edward Smith, John Finlayson, and Lloyd Tennyson voted yes. These matters passed on second reading are now law.

On Thursday Dec. 8, Leapwood Family and Community Education Club hosted their annual county wide FCE Christmas luncheon and awards program for all FCE members with a “Nutcracker” theme. The day started with a warm welcome from Leapwood FCE president, Barbara Isbell. Barbara then gave a little background information on the nutcracker. A tasty potluck meal was then served at noon and this was an excellent opportunity for everyone to show off their culinary expertise. There are lots of great cooks in McNairy County FCE and this is the one time during the year that they can all come together and enjoy the fruits of their labors. Instead of having a gift exchange, participants were requested to bring an unwrapped gift for a boy or girl of any age to be donated to the McNairy County Carl Perkins Center. Luke DeLaVergne was on hand to receive the many gifts donated from FCE members. Leapwood FCE also donated $75 to The Carl Perkins Center for them to buy additional presents for the children of McNairy County. After the meal and donations, Schancey Chapman,
UT Extension Family and Consumer Science Agent recognized members who participated in volunteer service and for the amount of books read during the year. Volunteering in the community and literacy is a very important part of FCE and UT Extension, and members are encouraged to participate as much as possible during the year. The amount of volunteer hours reported for 2011 was 11,574 among 23 members with at least 18,000 people reached. 18 members turned in reading reports with 1,282 books read in 2011. The luncheon ended with Chapman thanking all the members for everything they do for UT Extension, FCE and McNairy County. McNairy County Extension offers programs in agriculture and natural resources, 4-H youth development, family and consumer sciences, and resource development. The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and McNairy County governments are cooperating to bring the people of the county various programs and services. UT Extension provides equal opportunities in all programs and employment. (Chapman works as the UT Extension Family and Consumer Science Agent.)

Mcnairy voices Has Christmas become too commercial and why or why not?
Mandy Tanner, Selmer:
Katie Nixon, Selmer:
Doris E. McClain, Selmer:
Raymond, Selmer:
“Yeah, I think the cost of things is too high. It should be more about the family spending time together than about spending money on gifts.”
“I don’t think so, if you mean buying people stuff… a big part of Christmas is gift-buying and giving in general, it makes people happy.”
“Yes, very much so. Everyone wanting what they asked for and expecting to get it. When I was a kid we just got an apple , an orange and some candy in an old sock. Any gifts were a surprise, not like today when kids point out what they want on the internet.”
“Oh yeah, the apple and orange, maybe a couple of nuts and candy canes, and we each got a pair of jeans, that was it. They need to change Christmas, really.”
Karen Linam, Rose Creek, Selmer: “It really depends on the individual. I think it has for the most part, just keep the Lord in it.”
Richard Kimbley, Selmer: “Yeah. Years ago. It’s just more about the stuff than about the family. But it still feels nice, here in Selmer, anyway.”

Sunrise by David Coy
The Holidays When the holidays roll around, there are a few thoughts to keep in mind. These do not solve all of the difficulties with the season; however, they may help us make the most of these challenging times. Perhaps with a little creativity, these ideas can help us through this most difficult time of the year. I am no different from anyone else in my situation. I dread the “season to be jolly.” I realize this holiday season will not be the same as those before. I will find someone with whom I can share how I feel during this time of year. I will discuss with them honestly how I feel, so the emotions of the season will not become bottled up and catch me totally off guard. I will remember that the longer I put off doing something, the harder doing it becomes. What I do not do now may become harder to do with time. I will therefore try to keep this in mind as I work my way through this new experience, I will also try t keep in mind how my actions might affect those around me. I know that no matter how hard I may try, there will be many times when I will not feel like having a good time. I am going this O.K. with myself now, so I will not have to worry or apologize about this later. There may come a time when I wish to go somewhere or do something. I will go and I will do. I will give myself permission to smile or laugh if I want to. I will also give myself permission to tell those with me when I have a need to leave. This will take the pressure off me and those with me. I have enough sense to know there are things I do not want to do; and yet, there are a number of things I do not want to miss. I will therefore feel free to alter the way I do the holidays this year if I choose. I will make an effort to keep what I need to in order to experience the moments I do not want to miss. This is Sunrise.
In Memory In Loving Memory of our parents

Happy Birthday
By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor
Christmas is a date set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The history for that great event happened one night in Bethlehem when there was no room for a mother named Mary who was about to give birth to the Savior of the world. Three wise men came and brought gifts to this child we call Savior. I’m not sure if that is how the gift giving tradition was started but like the wise men, I want to offer him something in return for all He has done for me. But all I have to offer is myself and even though that is not much I can still show my appreciation for this Savior born in a barn so many years ago. We all have family traditions we celebrate at Christmas. It might be the way you decorate your tree or hang your stockings but today I want to write about family. I am the youngest of twelve born to a family from Finger, TN and we had some very special Christmas traditions. Often when one of those traditions is broken Christmas is just not the same. McNairy County Health Care Center also has traditions. Christmas traditions suddenly change when a family member comes to stay with us. They have to make new memories and find new ways to celebrate the holiday. Our activities department is very helpful in establishing some new traditions for our residents. Several weeks before December 25, Ms. Patricia Simmons and Ms. Becky Dowty start planning Santa’s Gift Shop. Area churches and individuals donate money to purchase gifts for our residents to give to their families. To buy these gifts, our residents earn money by attending activities, playing Bingo and other games, listening to music etc. Their money is deposited into their account and held until the big day. When the time finally comes and the doors open, they are excited and ready and the shopping begins. Most of them buy gifts for their fami-
lies, or a favorite CNA, nurse or housekeeper. The gifts are not as valuable as some gifts bought at a Department store, but they are all bought and wrapped in love. It is very important to our residents to be able to give gifts to those they love. Sometimes they even like to surprise someone with an unexpected gift. This is a big day for our residents; one they look forward to each year. Thank you to all the people who donated to make this day possible. So what about you? Is there someone you would like to surprise with an unexpected gift this year? I have a few. To Ms. Janet Rail, thank you for publishing these articles and for your encouragement. If you enjoy reading these articles, please help support the Independent Appeal. To Rowena, my articles would not be as well written without your editorial eye to change my words and correct my spelling. Patricia and Becky, I bring a gift of appreciation for all you do to keep our residents active and happy. To the residents of MCHCC, you make my days bright and full. I would love to be able to give gifts to all our hardworking nurses, CNAs, housekeepers, dietary staff, laundry and all our department heads but space is limited so I just want you to know I think you all are the greatest! To Justin and Nichole, thank you for a job and the opportunity to work at a place where all 115 people are not only my patients, but my extended family. To you the people of McNairy County, thank you for allowing us to care for your loved ones. As the writer of the song “The Little Drummer Boy” penned in closing, I want to offer that Baby born in a manger; who was the greatest gift ever given, my praise and adoration. I have nothing to bring but myself. What about you? What will you offer to our Savior this Christmas? From all of us at McNairy County Health Care Center, Merry Christmas!! Until next time…..

Mustangs run wild against Cardinals Adamsville still winless By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
Houston- 65 Cardinals- 52
Something had to give in the matchup between two winless teams, Houston and Adamsville, last Saturday night, and it was not the Cardinals losing streak. Adamsville lost their ninth consecutive game to get the 2011-2012 season off to a historically bad start after the 13-point defeat at the hands of the previously 0-8 Mustangs of Houston High School in Memphis. Head Coach Nathaniel Root said he was not sure how his team would respond after losing on a buzzer-beater the night before. “I wanted them to come in and play loose and forget about last night,” said Root, “and I think we came out in the first half and we did play that way.” The Cardinals began the game off to a good start and led at the end of the first quarter after freshman Tucker Campbell drilled a three as the horn sounded, giving AHS a 15-12 lead at the end of one. An abundance of second shot chances allowed the Mustangs to storm back into contention, and Houston took the halftime lead after outscoring AHS 24-9 in the second quarter. The fatigue from playing games on back-to-back nights started to set in on the Cards in the second half, and Houston was able to extended their lead to 13 points at the end of the third quarter. “When you’re fatigued, it shows up in your turnovers, missed layups and free-throws,” said Root. “I think that’s what happened at the end of the game. We were out of gas and out of shape. We’ve got to do better to get these guys in game-shape.”
Their tempo quickened in an attempt to make a comeback late, but 12 second half turnovers kept the Cards from climbing out of their hole. The Cardinals will have 11 days to get the kinks out in an attempt to right their ship before playing two games in the McNairy Central Christmas Classic set to begin on Dec. 28. “We’ve got two weeks before we play again, so I think we’ll see a different team,” Root said. “I really think we’re one game away from it clicking. We’ll take off from there, but it’s not going to come if we don’t put in the work and extra time to get better.”
Knocking out two wins at home, McNairy Central sent the Hardin County Tigers packing with a 52-37 victory from the Lady Bobcats and a 67-55 final by the Bobcats. By the end of the games, both the girls’ and boys’ teams sent in their bench players in for playing time. The youngsters were glad to have the chance to accumulate stats and compete with future contenders. The Lady Bobcats took a tremendous 20-point lead after the first quarter and never let up. Hardin County bench warmers were able to claw back in the fourth, outscoring McNairy Central by 10 points, but the Lady Bobcats held on to the 15-point win. Girls’ Box Score

Hardin showed signs of life in the second quarter and sunk seven additional shots over McNairy to set a deficit halftime score of 29-25. With a bad track record in third quarters, the Bobcats broke the curse and began raining three’s with shots by CJ Barnes, Stuart Littlejohn, Jordan Burton, and Justin Sutton. McNairy came out ahead by 12 points to win over Hardin County. After a tough two point district loss, the Bobcats can celebrate a deserving win.

Adamsville's contest at Madison Academic last Friday night ended with a bit of controversy and another tough loss for the Cardinals. “We probably played our best game of the year as far as being a team and playing together and being excited about each others success,” said Nathaniel Root, Adamsville's Head Coach. In a tight game with the Mustangs, the Cards led for the majority of the game but were tied, 51-51, with only seconds remaining in the final quarter before having their first win slip through their grasp.

roar. Trevor Reece was also able to knock down a shot from behind the arc, but the Cardinals’ outside shooting could not keep them in the game. Leading 35-12 when the second half began, Selmer opened the third quarter scoring 15 unanswered points. Adamsville could not buy a bucket for the remainder of the contest and ended the game with a 5617 deficit. The Cardinals turned the ball over 20 times and only shot 15 percent from the field, which contributed heavily to the loss. “We did a better job of handling their pressure this time around,” said Junior Card Head
Coach Will Barkley. “We just couldn’t make shots when we got it down the floor.” Selmer improved their overall record to 7-3 with the win and have a firm hold on second place with a 5-1 county record. Adamsville is now 1-6 overall and 1-5 in the county. Boys’ Box Score

Injured in the line of duty Head Sports Writer
Injuries can be brutal. The worst thing a parent can hear while watching from the stands is their child crying out because they have been hurt. How bad is it? Will we need to go to the hospital? Will my child get to play again? Will this injury affect the rest of my child’s life? All of these questions go through the parent’s head as they rush down to comfort and support their child. It’s written all over their long face as their eyes wonder. Trainers and/or coaches rush out onto the floor or field to check on the player. If the injury is not too critical the athletes walk it off, receive treatment on the sideline, or are assisted off by two or more people. Ambulances are on standby at football games and some athletes are carried out on stretchers. Many games do not have athletic trainers on reserve and this is more pressure that coaches and parents have to absorb. Players kneel down and give a moment of silence. If the player is conscious and shows signs of improvement, the crowd begins to clap and the game continues. Game delay times vary on the extremity of the injury and the availability of proper treatment. No matter the case, the game must go on. Many athletes continue to play on top of the injury depending on the severity. The wound or injury is wrapped or bandaged to help prevent further pain, and the athlete once again is sent out to withstand the pain during the competition. This is the “never give up” attitude that’s pushed, especially in adolescence. There is something about a fellow teammate coming back to the game after an injury that gets the rest of the team motivated. This motivation persuades the team to play at their best. But usually, the opposite effect occurs if a teammate is benched or is rushed off to the hospital. The team has a hard time concentrating on the game and, instead, concerns arise about the hurt player, friend, and teammate. Some players are not so quick to return or do not return to the game at all from fear or from a newly acquired handicap. Any time a player lays in agony, it is appropriate to give them your full attention and show them you care by displaying the proper respect.

The Selmer Lady Lions overcame a slow start and a solid defensive performance by Adamsville last Thursday night to pick up a 3-point victory over the Junior Lady Cardinals, which gave them their fourth county win this season. “They're hard workers. They don't do everything right all the time,” said Selmer Head Coach Robin York about her team, “but they're gonna get after it.” The Lady Lions played the game without their leading

scorer, Kaitlyn West, who sat out with an injury. “We all depend on her for a lot, so being able to come out and show that we can do it even without her is even better,” said York. Both teams struggled to hit shots early, but AJHS held a 4-0 lead at the end of the first quarter thanks to their press-defense that allowed the Lady Cardinals to score points off turnovers. Selmer hit their first shot from the field with only fifteen seconds remaining in the second quarter and cut Adamsville's lead to one before the break. After halftime, the teams swapped the lead several times before the Lady Lions took a 2-point lead into the final quarter of play. Adamsville scored a quick four points to begin the fourth, but Selmer answered back with a 9-0 run of their own, giving them a 2215 lead with less than two minutes remaining. The Lady Cardinals cut the lead back down to three by reapplying their press from earlier in the game, and it gave them a chance to get a little closer, but missed opportunities to score
points at the end saddled AJHS with a close loss. “Our defense gave us a chance. However, 33 turnovers and shooting five of 21 from the free-throw line really hurt and was the difference in the game,” said AJHS Head Coach Rebecca Ashe. “Hopefully, we learn from our mistakes and win some games in January.” The loss dropped Adamsville to 2-5 overall with a 2-4 record in county play, and the win bumped Selmer up to 4-6 overall with a 4-2 record in the county. Adamsville and Selmer will have nice, long breaks before cranking the season back up in
January. AJHS’s next game will be at home against Michie on Jan 5., and Selmer will host Ramer on Jan. 5. Girls’ Box Score

down the court, found an open man under the basket, and converted an easy two points as the buzzer sounded and the crowd went wild. “Coming down the stretch, we had a chance to make freethrows to put the game away, said Root. “We didn't make them, and then they came down at the buzzer and hit a tough shot.” There was some deliberation about whether the Mustang player got the shot off before regulation ended, but after a brief discussion, officials confirmed the initial ruling and a Madison victory. “The referees said it was good and he got it off before
the buzzer, so there's nothing you can do to contest it,” Root said. “It was a judgement call, and they feel it went in. We should have never had ourselves in that position to allow that call to be made.”
AHS senior Kasey Hurley (5) tries to work his way out of a corner against Houston last Saturday. Hurley finished the game with a season high 14 points against the Mustangs, leading all AHS scorers. He also contributed five points, two assists, and a rebound against Madison last Friday night.

Lady Mustangs outpace AHS By Andrew Alexander
Nikki White, and will be for the next two to three weeks as she rests a sprained ankle suffered in practice on Dec. 14, according to McGee. Pair that with the absence of junior Taylor Hutton, who is also nursing an ankle sprain, and the Lady Cards are without two of their top seven producers. “There were some jitters playing without Nikki,” McGee said. “I was pleased with the shots we took, but we couldn’t get them to fall. We had some girls that don’t usually play step up and play hard. I was proud of the effort.” McGee said White’s absence put some strain on the outside shooting of the Lady Cards, despite finishing 27 percent from deep, which is right on their average. AHS also struggled to slow the Lady Mustangs down with their quick-paced offense and smothering press-defense. “We handled the press pretty well and scored what we usually score, but we gave up way more than we needed to,” said McGee.

Madison Academic- 63 Lady Cardinals- 53
Bolting out of the starting gate with a 13-point lead, the Lady Mustangs of Madison Academic Magnet never looked back against Adamsville last Friday, and won their 13th straight game while giving the Lady Cardinals their second District 15-A loss. “Overall, my main concern was their press,” said Lady Cardinal Head Coach Todd McGee. “I didn’t know if the girls would be able to handle it. I’m real proud. They showed up and competed the whole game.” The highlight of the night for Adamsville was senior Brianne Knight finishing the game with 20 points, giving her exactly 1,000 points in her career. The Lady Cardinals will honor her accomplishment at their next home game. Adamsville was without the services of senior shooting guard
GOING OUT OF BUSINESS
“(Madison) shot the ball well. There’s a reason they’re 13-0.” Adamsville trailed 26-13 after one and found themselves down 15 points at halftime. The Lady Cards outscored Madison in the next two quarters, but could not put a run together to cut down the Lady Mustang’s lead, falling by 10 in the end. At 5-3 overall and 0-2 in the district, AHS traveled to Wayne County last Monday night to play Collinwood in the Wildcats’ Christmas Classic. The Lady Cards will take advantage of the time off to lick their wounds and rest their legs before tangling with Jackson North Side and Crockett County in the McNairy Central Christmas Classic that begins Dec. 28.

Lady Eagles- 33 Lady Rebels- 11
History repeated itself in the matchup between the Bethel Springs Rebels and Ramer Eagles as the teams met at the Ramer home. The Rebels stole another one point victory out of the close game against the Eagles and the Lady Eagles handled the Lady Rebels once again. Bethel’s girls won the tipoff but the ball was knocked out of bounds. Ramer’s Madi Rose Hammock put the first two points on the board. Hammock made a second basket before Bethel could score at the top of the key for three points. Seven points later and one minute remaining in the first, sixth grader Katie Turner laid up the first two points for the Lady Rebels to set the first quarter buzzer score 7-2. Bethel’s leading scorer of the first half, Turner was injured early in the third quarter and was carried off the floor with a hurt ankle. Turner plans to return after wearing “the boot” in about a week. The Lady Eagles held the lead the entire game and outscored the Lady Rebels in every quarter. In the end, Ramer took a second win from Bethel 33-11. Girls’ Box Score

Lady Cards stand tall AHS sweeps rivalry series with HCHS By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
Lady Cardinals- 53 Lady Tigers- 41
On Dec. 13, Adamsville’s girls did battle with Hardin County for the second time this season, and for the second time the Lady Cardinals walked away with the win. “I didn’t know how we’d be effected after we went to Middleton the other night, and we turned around and had a pretty good game,” said Todd McGee, Lady Cardinal Head Coach. “I’m glad we bounced back the way we did. We competed really well...the effort was super. They played really hard for the entire 32 minutes.”
Led by seniors Macayla Kiddy and Brianne Knight, AHS swept the season series with the Lady Tigers for the first time in over two decades, according to McGee. Adamsville’s high-pressure defense created nearly 25 Lady Tiger turnovers and allowed the Lady Cards to build a healthy lead and get their bench players some valuable playing time at the end of the game. “We got a chance for everybody to play. That’s the big thing,” said McGee. “A lot of times getting everybody some playing time and experience is good for team morale.” The Lady Cards began the game on a 10-2 run and ended the first quarter up five. The Lady Tigers clawed their way back into contention in the second, but Adamsville’s run-and-gun offense, and pesky defense continued to keep them on top as they carried a 1-point lead into halftime. AHS built a 20-point lead in the second half led by fastbreak points and the outside shooting of Knight and fellow senior Nikki White, but the Lady Tigers shaved a bit of that lead off in the waining moments of the contest while the younger Lady Cardinals got the chance to close out the big rivalry win. Adamsville’s triumph gave them a 5-2 record overall, and the defeat dropped Hardin County to 5-3. The Lady Cards traveled to Jackson, Tenn. for their second District 15-A game against the Lady Mustangs of Madison Academic last Friday. Girls’ Box Score

Tough rivalry loss for Adamsville By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
Tigers- 44 Cardinals- 36
A raucous crowd gathered to watch the Hardin County Tigers sweep the Cardinals in Adamsville on Dec. 13. Both student sections stood full-throat cheering on their teams throughout the low-scoring affair, and after the Tiger’s 8-point win, their student sectioned stomped the Cardinal logo at mid-court to signify their dominance over their rival from across the river. “To me, it’s kind of unclassy,” said Cardinal Head Coach Nathaniel Root. “It has nothing to do with Brian Brown or his team. He has no control over what his fans do, but hopefully we can get them back next year with a win.” The rim was unkind to AHS against HCHS. The Cardinals shot only 26 percent from the field and a dismal five percent from 3-point land. “We were one of 19 from outside, and we missed about 15 little shots and layups,” said Root. “Defensively, we did what we wanted and held them to 40 points, but we couldn’t get our offense going.” The game was physical in the beginning as both teams battled back and forth, fighting for an early advantage. Adamsville ended the quarter on a 6-0 run and a 3-point lead. The Cardinals started the second quarter off with a bang when Jalen Kendall threw down a dunk after receiving an alley-oop from Josh Shoate, and the crowd went wild. Despite the big play, AHS only managed to score five points in the quarter and fell behind 21-18 before the halftime buzzer sounded.
Adamsville continued to attempt big plays as the back-door cut and oop attempt kept presenting itself for the Cardinals, but the Tigers managed to either cut the pass off or foul Kendall before he could slam down another exclamation point. “It’s a zone play. Most zones will let you get behind them...then we can run screens and those screens open plays like that up,” said Root. “We just need to learn to read the play a little better so we know what to do when (the other team) plays the lob.” Hardin County kept the pressure on offensively and took a 5-point lead into the final quarter. AHS struggled to get shots to drop all night, but only trailed by two with less than four minutes to play. After a brief official timeout to clean blood off of Cardinal freshman Tucker Campbell’s arm, Adamsville appeared to lose their momentum, and Hardin County went on a 6-0 run to close out the game. The 44-36 defeat gave the Cardinals their seventh straight loss to open the season. With the win, Hardin County improved to 6-3. AHS headed to Madison Academic last Friday night to try and corral the Mustangs in their second district competition of 2011 and pick up their first win as well. Boys’ Box Score

MCHS races for district wins By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer
The Bobcats of McNairy Central faced two district opponents last week with the Jackson Central-Merry Cougars and the Fayette-Ware Wildcats on their schedule. The Lady Bobcats took two victories. The first game against JCM was won 70-33 and a four point defeat was gained over Fayette Ware 7268. The Bobcats split, losing a district battle to Fayette Ware by two points 60-62 and winning against JCM 69-56.
Lady Bobcats- 70 JCM- 33
Chelsea Bodiford joined the 1000 point club in the midst of McNairy Central’s 37-point win over JCM, and she was congratulated shortly after the game for her high school accomplishment. “We had a good defensive effort with 28 steals,” said Lady Bobcat Coach Jerry Lott. “We also had good balance on the offensive end with 10 players scoring. Chelsea Bodiford scored her 1000th point of her MCHS career.” Mikaela Rowland came out scoring a two pointer after the tipoff, and by the end of the first quarter the Lady Cats held a 21-point lead. At the start of the second quarter, MCHS point guard Kindra Brown drained a jumper. A final three-point shot by Bodiford at the buzzer put the score at 41-21 for the half. The game was paused for a moment in the third quarter to correct a problem with court interference, as the crowd’s whistles began to drown out the referee’s whistles. The excited student body settled down to watch a runaway victory by the Lady Bobcats with a final score of 70-33, after a final MCHS basket from outside the arc shot by freshmen Haven Phelps.
began to roll out, Rameil Pollard saved the day with the put back. JCM began to catch up scoring 25 points in the third quarter alone. Barnes struggled to find the inbound pass underneath MCHS goal in the fourth. When the ref’s arm extended for the last time, Barnes sent an ally oop in for the inbound pass to Rameil Pollard, who finished it up with a dunk. The crowd went wild as the Bobcats held a 10-point lead, but he game grew to be a nail biter as the score was tied, 45-45, at the beginning of the fourth quarter. JCM grabbed the majority of the rebounds and made a comeback. Jordan Burton aided the Bobcats’ recovery with a long two pointer, and McNairy began drawing fouls by passing the ball and running off the clock. “Our free throw shooting won this game for us,” said Forsythe. “The third quarter in our last three games has been awful. Tonight, our defense in the third was terrible and our shot selection was simply bad. We have got to come out of the locker room with the same emotion that we start the game with.” The Bobcats hit 30 of 41 free throw shots at the line, creating a foul shot percentage of over 73 percent, and won the game by 13 points.

Last Friday, McNairy took to the road and traveled to Somerville, Tenn. for their second district match of the week against the Fayette-Ware Wildcats. Lady Wildcat Watesha Mcneal gave the Lady Bobcats a fight as she scored 28 points, draining five three-pointers from the outside. MCHS was able to get the better of them in the end, giving Fayette Ware their third district loss. With the addition of the four-point win over FayetteWare, the Lady Bobcats attained a 3-0 district record, with a six game winning streak and setting a 7-3 overall season record. Girls’ Box Score

Fayette-Ware- 62 Bobcats- 60
Last week’s district finale was an upset as the Bobcats fell by two points to FayetteWare. The officials called a foul against MCHS with the score tied at 60 with less than 10 seconds remaining. Fayette-Ware knocked down both foul shots to take the two-point lead, and hit eight of nine at the freethrow line in the fourth quarter. The Bobcats fired a fair final shot, but the ball would not fall and the buzzer left McNairy with their second district loss. “This was a great game for basketball fans,” said Forsythe. “A game that we let slip away with some missed free throws, giving up key offensive rebounds and turnovers.” McNairy has had some unfortunate close losses this season so far, and the team plans to avenge the losses in those close matches in the latter half of the season. “It is very hard to go on the road in this district and pick up a win,” said Forsythe. “We played really hard all night but we just turned the ball over way too many times. When you only get off 38 shots in a game and turn it over 24 times, you

Less than a minute into the game, Stuart Littlejohn made a shot off the glass and brought the ball to the foul line for the “and one”, giving the Bobcats a three-point lead. The crowd roared and oohed as CJ Barnes dunked the final basket in the first and the intimidation factor went to the Bobcats. Cal Chappell took an open jump shot and just as the shot
