Bethel Springs Mayor Kay Cox said that, among other reasons, Police Chief T. E. “Pee Wee” Sowell was suspended because he altered a traffic ticket to a warning at last Monday’s Bethel Springs Board of Aldermen meeting. She also said that the matter had been referred to the district attorney for investigation. Cox said there was a state law prohibiting altering a ticket after it was turned into

the office but before a judge ruled on it. “You can’t get that ticket back and write ‘warning’ on it,” Cox said. Cox said on the day of court, the person to whom the ticket was issued had City Clerk Deborah Sullivan pull the ticket and Sowell wrote ‘warning’ on it. After the meeting, Paul Simpson, one of the attorneys representing Sowell, declined to comment on the charge that Sowell had altered the ticket, saying the meeting was the first time he heard the charge. John Talbott, another attorney repre-

senting Sowell, questioned whether it was appropriate to be discussing the allegations. “We’ve got to give these people here some kind of answer. You’ve got to tell them something,” Cox said. Simpson said he didn’t think that it was appropriate to say anything was legal or illegal until the district attorney concluded his investigation. “I asked the district attorney point blank: ‘is this illegal’ and he said yes,” Cox said.

Spring Fling to raise money for homeless

Latta Building nears completion Following a planned building inspection last Tuesday, the Latta Building located in downtown Selmer is nearing completion. Based on the findings of the inspection and completion of the final touches to the structure, the building could be ready for occupancy in the coming week. The Independent Appeal will provide a full update to this story following the county’s date of occupancy announcement.

Losing their grant for the homeless might have discouraged other organizations, but not Jesus Cares. They are holding the Spring Fling at the Selmer Civic Center Saturday at 6 p.m. in order to replace some of the $70,000 they lost this year. “That’s not just laying around on trees,” said Jim Gray, Jesus Cares President. “That’s why we came up with the idea six months ago.” The event includes a catered dinner, a fashion show and an auction. The clothing worn by the models will be auctioned as Staff Photo by Christen Coulon

McNairy County takes center stage at Signature Event

Battlefield preservation expands into McNairy County New Shiloh By Christen Coulon Editor

Last Thursday, the Civil War Trust joined with the National Park Service and State of Tennessee to make announcements regarding the permanent preservation of 925 acres on the Shiloh Battlefield. The achievements discussed were threefold and included the successful completion of efforts to purchase 267 acres at Fallen Timbers in McNariy County as well as the transfer of 167 acres from the Trust to the park and the launch of a $1.25 million campaign to preserve an additional 491 acres inside the park. These announcements came as part of the Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission’s Annual Signature Event commemorating the 150th anniversary the Battle of Shiloh held at Pickwick landing. The McNairy County lands at Fallen Timbers will remain within the care of the Civil War Trust for the time being and are not part of the park. However, the long term goal is for all of the preserved lands to eventually be placed in the hands of the American people, said Mary Koik, a Civil War Trust representative. This preservation opens the door for the possibility of the park itself to expand into McNairy County in the future. “We believe that every acre we save is an investment in our country’s future. There can be no more lasting and fitting tribute than protecting the sites where the war’s outcome was decided — the battlefields themselves,” said Trust President James Lighthizer. “As a permanent and meaningful legacy of the sesquicentennial, we give our children and grandchildren the opportunity to walk these same fields unblemished and undisturbed.” The day’s events began with a welcome from Susan Whitaker, Tennessee commissioner of Tourist De-

velopment and a co-chair of the state Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission and remarks from Gov. Bill Haslam. Following an introduction from Dr. Carroll Van West, director of the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area and the sesquicentennial commission’s other co-chair, Lighthizer and Trust chairman emeritus John Nau joined federal and state officials for the preservation announcements. In addition, country music star Trace Adkins, a large supporter of the Civil War Trust, was on hand for the event. Shiloh National Military Park su-

perintendent Woody Harrell said that the transfer of three properties totaling 167 acres, initially acquired by the trust in 2007 and 2008 with the intention that they would eventually become part of the park, is symbolic of the longstanding partnership between the two organizations. The Trust has previously transferred 192 acres to the park and continues to maintain ownership of two small parcels totaling less than three acres. “Alongside our dedicated partners at the Civil War Trust, we have been able to enhance the experience of visi-

tors to Shiloh in ways that neither of us would have individually,” said Harrell. “This is the type of outstanding partnership that enables our National Parks to thrive.” “The significance of Shiloh battlefield is unquestioned, the need to preserve as much as possible is paramount,” said Dr. Carroll Van West, director, Center for Historic Preservation, Middle Tennessee State University and co-chair of the Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission. “We applaud

In the final moments of the Battle of Shiloh, Confederate Col. Nathan Bedford Forrest finds himself surrounded by Federal troops at Fallen Timbers in McNairy County. Forrest escaped the skirmish using his revolver to clear a path through the Federal infantry troops. Forrest sustained serious injuries from a gunshot wound during the battle and his horse was fatally wounded.

movie opens: McNairy Countians take leading roles By Christen Coulon Editor

The premiere of Shiloh: Fiery Trial took place last Wednesday at the Pickwick Landing State Park and featured several actors from McNairy County in leading roles. The red carpet event for the first showing of this new National Park Service documentary film brought hundreds of Civil War enthusiasts as well as members of the local communities to the park. So many showed up for this historic event, that special overflow seating was utilized in a tent to accommodate the crowd. According to Shiloh Park Superintendent Woody Harrell, Fiery Trial captures the story of the decisive two-day 1862 battle both from the perspective of its commanders and the common soldier. Harrell said, “As a major turning point in the most important event in our nation’s history, Shiloh is a big story. I hope the new film will provide park visitors a thorough introduction and understanding, and prepare them to “hear the guns roar” as they tour the woods and fields of Shiloh Hill.” With around 10 percent of the film’s actors hailing from McNairy County, several of which were prominently featured, the contribution of local residents to the film’s success is immeasurable. The movie includes a local father-son duo, Steve Reed and Casey Reed who play Col. Thomas Cockrell and Pvt. John Cockrell of the 70th Ohio Infantry Reg. Much of the movie centers around the story of Pvt. Cockrell, a musician, after he becomes separated from his father’s regiment and joins up to fight with several other Federal units dur-

Dancing with the McNairy Stars: Burton, Buck By Christen Coulon

Is Obamacare constitutional?

Editor

Exchange Club-Carl Perkins Center 12th Annual Dinner & Auction will showcase “Dancing with the McNairy Stars” April 21. This year’s event will again feature prominent members of the community paired up to dance. This year’s competitors will be Kevin Lipford with Suzanne Henson, Brandon Burton with Tami Buck, Guy Buck with Melissa Stewart and Sam Vice with Marie Hurst. In a lead up to the competition the Independent Appeal will feature a different dance couple each week until the event. This week we will look at Brandon Burton and Tami Buck. Brandon Burton, of Henderson, said he was a little surprised to be chosen, but said he was glad to be able to help with this worthy cause. “When it comes to helping children, it’s a good cause,” Burton said. Burton is an employee at Monogram Refrigeration and said that he donates through his employer to the United Way, and said that working at Monogram helped to inspire him to partici-

“It’s in the district attorney’s hands and that’s where it should stay,” said town attorney D. J. Norton. Simpson said he thought that both Sowell and Bandy Burney should be suspended with pay. “If you are going to suspend one with pay, you ought to suspend both with pay,” Simpson said. The board can either uphold the suspension or vote it down, Simpson said. The board voted to suspend Sowell with pay, retroactively, then suspend both Sowell and Burney without pay until next month’s meeting. Gray had earlier made a motion to abolish the Bethel Springs Police Department and let the county take over law enforcement duties, but his motion died for a lack of a second. The alleged alteration of the ticket occurred at the March session of Bethel Springs City Court. Former Alderman Shirley Williams presented the board with a petition signed by 100 people opposing Sowell’s suspension. While reviewing the names on the petition, Cox said that some of the people listed on the petition had told here that it was time for Sowell to go home. This meeting was much calmer than last month’s meeting, though there were several occasions where more than one person was talking at the same time.

She agreed with her husband Guy Buck, McNairy County’s Sheriff and fellow Dancing competitor, that the two were not very competitive over the event and joked that, “He keeps trying to sneak in and see our routine, but I won’t let him.” Buck said that Burton and herself were planning some fundraising events for this year’s competition but said that they were still in the planning stages. While predicting a win for her team, Buck was tight lipped about their routine saying only that it would be surprising. Buck invited everyone in the community to participate in the event saying that it was a wonderful event that helps children. “All of the money that they raise goes to the kids here in this community,” Buck said. “It’s just going to be a fun-filled night.”

Burton said that he and Buck are practicing two days this week, and they are doing well preparing for the event. As far as a prediction of the event, Burton said that he wasn’t going to predict a winner, but said that his team’s routine would be entertaining. “It’s gonna probably be more funny,” Burton said. “I’m looking forward to having fun at this year’s event.” Tami Buck, currently a nurse at McNairy Regional Hospital, said she was very happy to be chosen for the event and said that she agreed to participate without hesitation.

Family gives building to Milledgeville By Janet Rail Publisher

The mayor and board of aldermen met in regular session and discussed the recent donation of a building by Bill and Ann Ross in memory of Bill’s father Dr. M.O. Ross in which the building will be named. The board is looking into signage to be housed at the building to honor Dr. Ross. The board has one request to use the building the second Sunday in May. The board made a motion to make all necessary improvements, clean carpet and approved rent at a rate of $50. Mayor Dannie Kennedy and Alderman Hershel Hollin, as well as others have been working in the building. The board gave permission to hire any help necessary to complete immediate improvements.

The mayor reported that four of five loads of rock were installed in the ditch around the walking track at the park. Both the mayor and Alderman Dorothy Bridges plan to call Chester and Hardin counties to ask for another load of rock to complete the project. The mayor also reported that the garage top and pad approved at the previous meeting for $23,000 was to be installed this week. This cover will be used by the fire department and city for barbecues and other functions. The mayor will also present a plaque to Reggie Churchwell, a native, who will be inducted to the Rock-A-Billy Hall of Fame on Saturday, April 14 in Jackson at the Rock-A-Billy Museum. Everyone is invited to attend. A $10 donation is required per person. The board approved a motion to hire

Sonny Ivy to mow the park, fire department and new building property at a rate of $200 per job. Alderman Dorothy Bridges requested the costs to weed eat in addition to mowing and present at next meeting. A motion was approved to hire Doris Hollin for mowing the lot behind city hall at a rate of $75 per job. The board discussed issues with persons setting leaves on fire, turning stones over, winding swings up and turning over playground equipment. All was reported to the sheriff’s department, along with an eyewitness. The sheriff’s department did investigate and file a report. The board approved getting Chester County to mow the sides of streets. The board passed the minutes of the March 12 meeting and financial report prior to adjourning.

Perkins Center builds child abuse awareness By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Gov. Bill Haslam has proclaimed April “Child Abuse Prevention Month”, joining other states and organizations around the country promoting child abuse awareness and prevention strategies. The Exchange Club-Carl Perkins Center of McNairy County is also participating in this effort, according to County Director Luke DeLaVergne. The center is holding a poster contest for children in grades 1-3. Blue bows will be put on Main Street in Selmer in order to raise awareness. They are also selling t-shirts. “It’s time to talk about child abuse” is the theme for the center. “Our goal is to get parents and children to talk about child abuse,” DeLaVergne. Dancing with the Stars, later this month, is also part of this effort. “Acts of violence and neglect against children are intolerable,” said Tennessee Children’s Services Commissioner Kathryn O’Day. “It is the collective responsibility of all Tennesseans to keep our children safe, and it can be as simple as lending an ear to a stressed mother or learning to spot the early warning signs of abuse and neglect. Everyone’s participation is critical to prevent child maltreatment and promote optimal child development.” Child abuse occurs when a child is injured or put at risk of harm as a result of neglect or mistreatment. Abuse includes physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse or psychological harm. Last year, the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services investigated more than 60,000 reports of child abuse and neglect. Tennessee law requires anyone with direct knowledge or suspicions of child abuse or neglect to report it to the Department of Children’s Services or law enforcement. Identifying the signs of abuse is the first step in helping an abused or neglected child. Common symptoms include malnutrition, poor hygiene, extremes in behavior, age-inappropriate knowledge of sex and unexplained bruises, burns or welts. To report abuse and neglect 24 hours a day call Tennessee’s child abuse hotline at 1-877-237-0004. When calling, be prepared with information including the names of the child and the abuser, as well as their relationship and location. For more information on how to prevent child abuse and neglect, visit www.childwelfare.gov/preventing. For more information on the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services, visit www.tn.gov/youth. The Exchange ClubCarl Perkins Center is located at 175 S. 3rd St. in Selmer. Its phone number is (731) 646-3627.

Adamsville wreck injures one

Staff Photo by Jeff Whitten

A tow truck prepares to remove a vehicle involved in a two-car accident on Highway 64 near the Dollar General store in Adamsville last Thursday. According to a traffic crash report, Adamsville Police Department officer David Vandiver was dispatched to East Main Street in front of the Dollar General store on a vehicle accident. Upon arrival, Vandiver spoke with witnesses who said that Emily M. Tears, of Adamsville, who was driving a 2003 Dodge Intrepid, was experiencing side pains. She stated she pulled out of the Dollar General parking lot and did not see a 2003 Lincoln Aviator driven by Rejeana A. Brown, of Iuka, coming toward her. As a result, the two vehicles collided. Tears was transported to the McNairy Regional Hospital emergency room.

this gift of the Civil War Trust to our state, our nation, and the future.” Nau, who is also the immediate past chairman of the federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and serves as vice-chair of the National Parks Foundation, noted that the transfer is part of a larger effort by the Department of the Interior to acquire historic properties at battlefield parks as part of the sesquicentennial commemoration. During the past year, the federal government has set aside more than $5 million to transfer battlefield lands into the National Park Service. In total, more than 536 acres of battlefield land will have been added to battlefield parks at Manassas, Richmond, Fort Donelson and Shiloh as a tangible legacy of the anniversary period. “There can be no higher recognition of a site’s historic significance than its inclusion within one of America’s ‘crown jewels’ — its National Parks,” Nau said. “We are thankful that thoughtful officials in the federal government share this vision and have made the acquisition and integration of high priority battlefield land into existing parks a key part of the Civil War sesquicentennial commemoration.” In addition to the culmination of one preservation effort, the Trust also announced the beginning of an ambitious new project — one that, if successful, would be the largest single acquisition of land at Shiloh since the establishment of the national military park in 1894. For decades, this 491-acre parcel, which completes the battlefield’s southeastern cor-

ing the union retreat on the first day of the battle. Casey who is a senior at McNairy Central High School said he was honored to portray Cockrell and at first said that he did not realize how big of a part he would play in the movie. “Even now after the movie, it is just hitting me how crucial a role I had in this movie,” Reed said. Reed credits his father Steve for instilling a love of history growing up. He said that he would like to someday go on to teach history. Reed himself is a soldier with the Army National Guard and will head off to basic training in Fort Benning, Ga. in June. He will then ship out to spend several months at Fort Gordon, Ga. receiving his individual training as a radio operator. Another McNairy County resident with a significant role in the movie was Dr. Ronnie Fullwood, D.D.S., who performs dentistry at his office on Mulberry Ave. in Selmer. Fullwood portrayed Gen. (then Colonel) Nathan Bedford Forrest in a speaking role in the film. “It was an honor to be chosen to participate in this film,” Fullwood said. Fullwood recounted his character’s role in the Battle of Fallen Timber, which occurred covering the Confederate retreat on their way back to Corinth, Miss. from Shiloh. He said that Forrest was severely wounded leading a charge into Federal lines when all of the sudden he found himself surrounded by Federal infantrymen. In addition to Forrest’s injuries, his horse was shot several times and suffered fatal injuries during the battle. Fullwood said that there were several challenges to making this film, but the cast and crew worked through them to provide a well-made and accurate representation of the battle. “We had a lot of logistical problems and were running scenes again and again,” Fullwood said. “The movie folks were great to work with and did a really good job.” Due to the constraint of the number of participants involved, Fullwood found himself, at times, switching sides and wearing Federal Blue to portray a Federal cavalry colonel. “I was a federal colonel at times leading the cavalry,” Fullwood said. “They kept my face out of most of those shots and showed my horse more than me in those scenes.” Fullwood said that he started reenacting in 1985 and has been doing this 27 years. He said that he was proud to see the movie done in such high quality and thanked Stacy Allen (Chief Ranger at Shiloh) and Woody Harrell for their support of the movie. Produced by Great Divide Pictures, using a crew of 28, the 48-minute film was shot entirely on location at Shiloh Battlefield. The production required 50 horses, 10 artillery units and 350 reenactors who fired more than 24,000 rounds of ammunition. Many of the reenactors from the film were present at the premiere. “Fiery Trial” replaced a classic National Park Service film and the longest running movie in the history of Tennessee, Shiloh: Portrait of a Battle. The original film was a groundbreaking event for NPS in 1956, when it debuted on the 94th anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh, being the service’s first audiovisual program to incorporate live actors. The new film began airing daily last Friday at the Shiloh National Military Park Visitor Center. For more information on Shiloh National Military Park, visit nps.gov/shil/.

How has the high cost of health care affected you?

Marlene Hidalgo (Selmer): “I don’t typically to the doctor. I try to take care of my health by how I eat and different natural remedies and it seems to be working for me.”

Larry Dunaway (Bethel Springs): “Feelin’ it. Feelin’ it.”

Betty King (Selmer): “It’s outrageous. It is. It is unreal ‘cause my husband just got out of the hospital. It is ridiculous—the health care cost.”

Patsy Pierce (Selmer): “It is terrible. I don’t have insurance, can’t afford it and I have to choose if I’m going to take certain medicine or if I’m going to eat. It’s unreal of even the copays. It’s unreal of what they’re charging . The government needs to get their hands out of it and quit making money off of the poor.”

Jay Turner (Selmer): “Well, it’s affected me in our insurance premiums have gone up continually year in recent memory. It’s also affecting me because I work in health care. It’s affected amount of reimbursement and my salary, what I get paid, so the high cost of health care has affected me in lost of ways.”

Billy Horn Selmer): “When you live on a fixed raise (income), you’ve got to watch your health care.”

Where In McNairy

Letter to the editor

Hats off to our educators To the Citizens of McNairy County: I substitute teach in our local schools in Selmer and Bethel Springs. I found the administrative staff and teachers to be exceptional and very well educated. They have the students’ best interest at heart, teaching and preparing the students for an ever-changing world in which we live. The competition in the work force nationally and internationally is fierce. The curriculum being taught in our schools is the foundation for the students to achieve and excel. This will further their education in other institutions of higher learning for their life’s goals and be better equipped to meet those challenges. Education is not only the foundation for being a good citizen, but also for a thriving economy and nation. The teachers and staff are severely underpaid for the college degrees required to teach. Secular jobs with these degrees pays more. Our nation is literally in the hands of teachers. Without them, the nation will collapse. There are strict guidelines, rules and handbooks that are given to each high school student spelling out what is expected of them. There are consequences, some severe, when the students break the

rules, as it is with employees, when employees break the rules. These handbooks and rules teach discipline that is needed as the students progress in life. Our administrative staff and teachers are the ones who lay the ground work and foundation for students as they prepare to meet life’s challenges. The criticisms of our school system I have heard are very unfounded due to the fact I have experienced and seen first hand what our teachers and staff go through each day to be prepared to teach. If you haven’t experienced what I have, then you do not have the right to criticize or run our schools down. And if you experience what I have, it will change your mind. Gossip is contagious and most often hurtful when it does not contain a shred of truth or evidence. Be very thankful we have these dedicated people who are willing to teach our students, go through the rigors of state requirements with approval of the lesson plans being taught and being prepared to teach each day. Hats off to our superintendent, administrative staff and teachers for their dedication.

community events • April is Child Abuse Prevention Month This year’s theme is “It’s Time to Talk About Child Abuse.” With recent events involving child abuse being revealed at major public universities, in the military, and within religious institutions, there has never been a more important time for McNairy County to talk about child abuse. There are many ways to prevent abuse and one primary method is to ensure that potential perpetrators know that our community will stand unified against abuse and work diligently to eradicate harmful behavior against our children. April is child abuse prevention month. One way that local businesses can send a message to the community that they stand together to fight child abuse in McNairy County is to have a special “casual” day for employees by allowing employees to wear this “It’s Time to Talk” T-

shirt each Friday in the month of April. Order forms can be completed for multiple quantities of T-shirts. Delivery takes approximately 1-2 weeks depending on quantities ordered. Please bring order forms to the local Carl Perkins Center at 175 S. 3rd St. Selmer TN 38375 or fax completed forms to 731-646-3627. • Imagination Library Sponsors Needed By the end of April, the volunteers who make up the Imagination Library Steering Committee will begin to ask local businesses and individuals to support the program by sponsoring a page in next year’s calendar. Pam Carroll is the leader in the ad sales. Please respond positively when she calls and asks for your support. The calendar is the primary funding of our $1,000 monthly expense for the books which are mailed directly to each child’s home.

• Relay For Life Preparation The McNairy County Relay for Life is just around the corner, and teams are already fundraising for the big night on Friday, June 15th.

Mr. & Mrs. Joe Barnes

A Love Story By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor

A few years ago I was working in the Emergency Room at the Hospital when we had a couple came in that had a true love story to tell. I was impressed by their devotion to each other and the devotion of their daughter to both of them. I learned their names were Joe and Virginia Barnes. Several times after that, I had them as patients in the ER and always enjoyed being able to take care of them. I met them also outside of the hospital and always enjoyed talking to them. The one thing that always stood out in my mind was how devoted they were to each other and what a caring daughter they had. I guess the old saying “A son is a son ‘till he takes a wife; a daughter is a daughter for the rest of your life,” is true for these folks. A time came when they were not able to stay at home, so their daughter, Sandy Whitaker and husband, Scotty, had to make the decision to place them at our home, McNairy County Health Care Center. It was a hard decision for Sandy; she felt like she had failed them. I tried to reassure Sandy that she had not failed them but provided good quality nursing care for them. No, it is not their home, but Sandy quickly learned we are here to provide their needs and the medical care they both need. So, how did the story start? Well, Ms. Virginia worked at a cafe that served ice cream, and Mr. Joe loved ice cream. He would go in every day to get him a cone of ice cream and a smile from Ms. Virginia. They were married on April 28, 1945 in Corinth, Miss. So in a few days they will celebrate sixty-seven years of married life. I wonder if Mr. Joe still likes ice cream. They farmed for a living for years. Mr. Joe also worked for the feed store and cotton gin in Selmer until about 1964, and then he went to work for Jarvis International in Bolivar, Tenn. Sandy tells that her dad had a very hard, hot and tiresome job. He would come home from work and his clothes would have metal burned into them, and Ms. Virginia would pull the metal off and there was a hole where the metal had burned his clothes. He worked there until he retired. Ms. Virginia had a hard job also—one that did not produce a pay check at the end of the week. She was a full time homemaker and took care of everything. Her days including canning, cooking, cleaning, painting and she worked in the garden to meet her families needs. She also, at times, had odd jobs such as working at Sherman’s, Kenwin Dress Shop, and at the hospital doing private duty. All this was done to help Mr. Joe provide for their family and help out with Sandy's education. Sandy said they lived a simple life: they loved to play Dominos and Rook, and in the summer they pitched washers outside with family and friends. They attended Falcon Baptist Church until their health failed. These two great people will soon be celebrating sixty-seven years of marriage, so if you know them, send them a card or let them know what a blessing they and their daughter have been to you. They are both in bad health so don't miss the opportunity to be a part of this great love story. Sandy, my friend, you are a true example of a daughter’s love for her parents. Until next time!

The Cardinals celebrate as Josh Chappell steps on home after hitting his second home run of the game against the TCA Lions last Monday in Jackson, Tenn.

Adamsville remains unbeaten in district By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The Cardinals (10-7-1) continued to march right past their district opponents last Monday with a win over the Lions at Trinity Christian Academy. “Another good day in the district getting to 5-0,” said Cardinal head coach Steven Lambert. “...Really swinging the bats well right now, and really getting better each day.”

Adamsville- 12 Trinity Christian- 1

Led by Josh Chappell’s huge day at the plate and Montell Johnson’s stellar outing on the mound, the Cardinals made easy work of the Lions. “Montell Johnson really settled down after allowing some early base runners, finishing with eight strikeouts,” said Lambert. “...Josh Chappell had a big

day with his two home runs that really shook our opponent up and kind of helped put them away.” Chappell’s first dinger put the Cards on the board in the second. By the end of the fourth, AHS led 6-1, and a passed ball along with Chappell’s second shot—this time a three-run dong, put AHS up 10-1. Adamsville sent the game beyond the run-rule with a Jalen Kendall RBI single accompanied by a bases loaded walk in the top of the fifth.

Undefeated Bobcats give up nothing By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

Undefeated and yet to be scored on, the McNairy Central Bobcats won another shutout game when they beat the Chester County Eagles 2-0 on April 3. After experiencing rain de-

In an offensive outpouring, the McNairy Central Bobcats scored a combined 36 runs in their doubleheader against the Cougars at Jackson Central-Merry High School last Monday. Bobcat head coach Brian Franks said his upperclassmen swung the bats well in the first game, and in the second, the younger guys picked up where the older guys left off. Even though his team scored nearly 40 runs in less than two hours of baseball, Franks was impressed with the production he was getting on the mound and on defense, allowing no runs and only one hit during the double header. “Our pitching was good, and our defense

was good,” Franks said about back-to-back shutout wins over their district opponent.

McNairy Central- 17 JCM- 0

In game one of the doubleheader, the Bobcats set the tone for the day, scoring 10 runs in the first inning against JCM. Tyler Wells was a force at the plate, finishing the game 2-for-2 with a double and 3 RBIs. He also scored two runs and stole two bases. Like Wells, senior Austin Gafford was solid at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a triple and three runs scored. Jonathan Nixon got the start and the win for MCHS after throwing two scoreless innings and striking out four while giving up just one hit. In relief of Nixon, Clay Dancer

struck out the side in the bottom of the third to close out the win. McNairy Central recorded 11 hits in the contest, and every Bobcat in the lineup scored at least one run.

Lady Cards break even By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

The Adamsville Lady Cardinals went head-to-head with two District 15-A competitors from Jackson, Tenn. last week and won one and lost one.

Adamsville- 8 Madison- 0

Last Monday, the Lady Cardinals hosted Madison Academic Magnet and shut out the Lady Mustangs for a district win. “We made mostly routine plays,” said Lady Cardinal head

coach Todd McGee. “We were able to put the ball in play and made them get us out. That makes a huge difference.” Adamsville made it look easy as the team scored eight runs on 12 hits. Winning pitcher, Taylor Hutton had six strikeouts and held the Lady Mustangs scoreless. (AHS) Whitney Wrzesniewski: 3-3, 2B, 2SB; Kristina Milford: 3-4, 2B, 2SB; Olivia Johnson: 1-2, 2B; Nikki White: 1-1, 2B; Macayla Kiddy: 2-4, 2SB; Samantha Oaks: 1-2, SB; Deanna Taylor: SB; Laura Shiver: SB

For the first time ever, I was able to attend an NBA game last Saturday and how lucky I was to watch the Memphis Grizzlies defeat the defending champions, the Dallas Mavericks owned by billionaire Mark Cuban. Entering the FedEx Forum and looking down on the home court of the Grizzlies made the whole experience feel like a dream. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept me down-to-earth. It was an honor to be in the same building with professional basketball celebrities. Over 18,000 people were present for the fourth sellout game of the year, and they watched Dirk Nowitski and Marc Gasol take center court for tipoff. The two-tiered forum was filled with three shades of blue. This game was not comparable to any high school match I have ever seen. There were fireworks, music throughout the game, cannons fired tshirts into the crowd, prizes were won, and a death-defying performer entertained during halftime. In their previous game, the Grizzlies upset LeBron James and the Miami Heat on the road, ending their 17-game home winning streak and then won 94-89 over Dallas, reducing the defending champs to mere mortals. After picking up a threepoint play, Zach Randolph topped off the 19-point first quarter lead by sinking a buzzer-beating, 26-foot 3-pointer. Rudy Gay dunked on the Mavs in the first quarter— nearly knocking me out of my seat—and finished as the night’s leading scorer with 25 points. Gay trails James as the second player to score a minimum of 90 dunks and 40 three-pointers in this NBA season. The Grizzles have won successive matches against Miami and Dallas with the Grizzlies never trailing in either game. Memphis has become a major threat and has stunned last season’s NBA finalists and potential upcoming playoff foes. Dallas got within one point of tying the game, aided by 13year veteran Vince Carter with just over four minutes to go in the third quarter, but backup point guard Gilbert Arenas kept Memphis from trailing by making two three-point shots late in the second half. By the end of the night, my hands were stinging from the continuous clapping, and my throat was sore from uninterrupted cheering. I knew going in that it was going to be a close game, but in the end it was the perfect game. Memphis has a 33-23 record after another big win Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, 94-85. Competing for a third place position in the Western Conference and the postseason home court advantage the Grizzlies are confident, aggressive, and ready for the playoffs.

Cardinals make noise at Blaze-A-Bash

Rivalry game postponed; Adamsville pays respect

Hurley, Jalen Kendall, John Reed Odom, Jacob Wallis: One hit each

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

After beginning the tournament 3-0, the Cardinals left Murfreesboro, Tenn. just a few runs shy of reaching the championship game of the Blaze-A-Bash Invitational last weekend. “Even though we lost, this was a great weekend,” said Cardinal head coach Steven Lambert. “We played well and really came together as a team. Very proud of these young men.” In the tournament that showcased quality Class A talent from around the state, Adamsville squeezed four games into two days. Last Friday, they defeated Wayne County and Middle Tennessee Christian School, and on Friday, they closed out their pool play with a win over Watertown before playing a marathon-like game against Eagleville in the semifinals.

Eagleville- 3 Adamsville- 2

It took the Eagles 12 innings to put the Cardinals away in the semifinals of the Blaze-A-Bash Invitational last Saturday evening. “Two great teams matched up in what could be a preview of the state tournament,” said Lambert. “Proud of how Jacob Wallis and Kasey Hurley matched up against their pitchers.” Hurley took the loss, pitching eight solid innings in relief of Wallis. Eagleville struck first, scoring two runs in the bottom of the third, but Adamsville answered back with two runs in the top of the fourth. The game remained knotted 2-2 for seven innings before the Eagles finally broke the deadlock, scoring the winning run in the bottom of the twelfth. Eagleville (16-2) went on to defeat Huntingdon in the championship game, 7-6. Box Score RHE AHS 000200000000283 EHS 002000000001391

Adamsville- 12 Watertown- 7

Swinging some hot bats, the Cardinals stacked up 12 runs on 15 hits to sweep their pool and advance to the tournament semis last Saturday afternoon with a win over Watertown. Making the victory even sweeter, Peyton Surratt picked up his first win as a Cardinal. “Freshman Peyton Surratt came in in relief of Josh Burks in his first varsity appearance and pitched (3 2/3) strong innings for his first high school win,” Lambert said. “Proud of how the team backed him up and helped us sweep our pool and get to the semifinals of the tournament.” Trailing by two in the third inning, Watertown took the lead by scoring three runs, putting the pressure back on AHS. “(We) answered Watertown’s three-run third with four to take the lead back,” said Lambert. “(We) answered them again in the fourth and fifth to gain the win.” The Cards scored 10 combined runs in the third, fourth, and fifth innings to clinch the win, catapulting them into the semis. Jalen Kendall was Adamsville’s leading offensive cog, finishing the game with four hits and four runs.

the mound this season despite a late Wildcat rally. “Drew Griswell pitched a complete game, withstanding a late charge by Wayne County to get us a victory in the opening game,” Lambert said. Adamsville hitters took advantage of a woeful pitching performance by Wayne County, whose pitchers walked 10 Cardinals. Tied at 1-1, AHS broke the game open in the third inning with five runs. In the fifth, they tacked on two more and led 8-1 before the Wildcats made their move. Wayne County rallied to score two in the bottom of the sixth and four more in the bottom of the seventh, but it was not enough to overcome the Cardinal lead. Kasey Hurley and Jacob Wallis led Adamsville at the plate. They combined for six hits, four runs, and drove in a run apiece.

While his team was tacking runs onto the scoreboard left and right last Friday night, Jalen Kendall did something that few pitchers can claim to have done. The senior threw a no-hitter. “The bats really came alive in this one to back up Jalen Kendall, who absolutely dominated MTCS,” Lambert said. “Jalen allowed no hits, walked only two, and struck out six. Thanks to Kendall’s ability to quiet the Cougar bats, Adamsville scored two in the first and five in the second, and never looked back. Two juniors had big nights at the plate for the Cardinals. Josh Chappell drove in four runs on three hits, and Jacob Wallis scored four runs and drove in two on a 3-for-3 night. Lambert credited the win to a tremendous team effort. “We really came together in this one,” he said.

The rivalry matchup between Adamsville and McNairy Central scheduled for last Thursday was postponed due to the tragic passing of Riverside High School’s Stephen Gant. “To me, (the death of a player) makes baseball irrelevant,” said Cardinal head coach Steven Lambert. “We’re not here just to win ballgames. We’re here to love the players, take care of them, and help them grow into fine young men.” The Cardinals traveled to Parsons, Tenn. to pay their respects to the Riverside Panther Baseball family and Gant, who passed away April 3. While the case is still under investigation, reports state Gant was seen threatening suicide while walking down a Perry County road with a rifle that afternoon. He was later found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Gant, a Vanderbilt baseball signee and three-time Jackson Sun Baseball Player of the Year, was a senior and two-time Class A State Champion. “Hopefully, our kids know if they ever need something they can come talk to me,” said Lambert. “Hopefully it opens eyes. It’s a sad thing.” The Cardinals attended the visitation, which took place at 2 p.m. last Thursday at Hopewell Baptist Church in Parsons. The funeral was held at 2 p.m. last Friday. Lambert said he asked his players if attending the visitation was something they felt like they should do, and their response was a resounding, “yes.” “Our boys are great,” said Lambert. “I think our visit was a blessing to the (Gant) family, and Mr. Gant was very appreciative.” Though the teams are rivals on the field, they have respect for one another off, Lambert said. “We’re all competitors, but we’re a tightly knit baseball community... It really put things into perspective.” Cardinal players have drawn Gant’s number (29) on or in their hats, and the team is currently looking for some way to pay tribute to the former Riverside superstar, according to Lambert. There is no makeup date scheduled for the game between AHS and MCHS at this time. McNairy Central was scheduled to play Riverside last Tuesday at home. Out of respect for the Panthers, who were playing their first game since Gant’s passing, the Bobcat coaching staff agreed to move the location of the game to Riverside.

Cardinals honored at annual football banquet By Andrew Alexander

32 ball games. That’s pretty impressive.” The Cardinal players voted on their peers for their awards, and the coaches made several selections as well. Players were not the only ones recognized though. The team also recognized its managers, Ryan Burlesci, Derek Boyd, Madison Cotrell, and Alex Sparks, for their contributions to the phenominal season. Each was named as an All-District Manager of the Year. When the banquet began, all in attendance were treated to a wonderful hamburger

steak meal complete with baked potatoes, salad, rolls and desserts all prepared by Mrs. Susan Gilchrist and the Adamsville Cafeteria Staff, which Gray was quite thankful for. After the awards were handed out to each deserving individual, the banquet concluded with a highlight video produced by the Cardinal coaching staff. The video lasted approximately 30 minutes and featured the Cardinals’ biggest hits, best runs, most amazing catches, and many more memorable moments. Before the night conclud-

ed, mothers of senior football players presented the Cardinal coaches with two flags memorializing the 2012 graduates and their accomplishments at AHS. Congratulations to the Cardinal Football Team for their successes in the 2011 season. Their run to the State Semifinals raised the bar of excellence for Adamsville Football, and all involved should be very proud of what this group accomplished. Though the banquet culminates the tremendous season the Cardinals had, it also ushers in the new season. The

Cardinals began spring practice last Monday and will host the Lexington Tigers in their spring game on Thursday. “(The banquet’s) just a good way to end the year and start a new one,” said Gray. Award winners not pictured include: Linda Bridges, who was named the End Zone Club Member of the Year, and Saw Meal Restaurant and Steakhouse, which was named the Randall Baugus Memorial Booster of the Year. Before burning down in late November, Saw Meal fed the Cardinal Football Team before its games 15 times.

Lady Bobcats pick up pair of road wins over pair of Tigers By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

The McNairy Central Lady Bobcats went 2-for-2 in games against teams with Tiger mascots last week when they faced Bolivar Central and Middleton. The team compiled eight games into nine days, working through Spring Break and competing in two tournaments, and still won five out of eight games.

McNairy Central- 14 Middleton- 1

Injuries have affected this season’s performance, and the Lady Bobcats are adjusting

to the new changes. A break in the schedule has given the team sometime to recoup for upcoming home games. “The Middleton game gave us a chance to play some players in new positions,” said Lady Bobcat Coach Mellanie Surratt and to settle in replacing some injured players in key positions.” With the bases loaded, MCHS senior Kindra Brown blasted a grand slam at Middleton on April 3. After the 14 hit-14 run win, Kelly Beth Ernest bumped up to an overall 4-1 pitching record. (MCHS) Kindra Brown: 3-5, 1HR,

2SB; Kelley Moore: 3-4, 2-2B, SB; Mikaela Rowland: 2B, SB; Macee Taylor: 2SB; Kelly Beth Ernest: 2B; Jacey Whirley: SB; Makayla Holley: SB; Allison Dillon: SB

McNairy Central- 9 Bolivar Central- 1

Before defeating Middleton, McNairy Central conquered the Lady Tigers at Bolivar on April 2. The game got off to a slow start after two scoreless innings. Nevertheless, the Lady Bobcats prevailed, producing 14 hits and nine runs to Bolivar’s eight hits and one run. “This was a good win,” said Surratt. “The girls stepped up

and played a good game.” Macee Taylor hit her first home run of the season, and Brown picked up the win on the mound, holding Bolivar to one run. (MCHS) Macee Taylor: 2-4, HR, SB; Mikaela Rowland: 3-4, 3B, 2B, SB; Jacey Whirley: 2-4, 2B, SB; Kelley Moore: 3-4, 3B, 2B, SB; Lily Nixon: 2SB; Kindra Brown: SB; Makayla Holley: SB Facing a full schedule with another month of regular season play, the Lady Bobcats have a 9-7-1 (5-1) record and nine district competitions remaining.

it a two run inning for AHS. Starting pitcher Taylor Hutton took the loss and was relieved in the bottom of the fourth by Parker Davis. The Lady Lions brought in four additional runs in that bottom that the Lady Cardinals were unable to match. “We did a poor job of putting the ball in play,” said McGee. “We made six errors. There was no chance to beat a quality team in top performance in this ball game. Lastly, until we are able to make adjustments at the plate, we are going to struggle against quality pitching.” (AHS) Kristina Milford: 1-3, 2B; Gabby Morris: 1-1, 2B; Samantha Oaks: 2-2, 2SB Staff Photo by Amanda Lowrance

Following up a one-hitter is usually a tough thing to do, but instead, the Bobcats one-upped it. Chase Smith and BJ Dickey combined for a three-inning no-hitter against the Cougars, and were only a walk away from a perfect game. Smith received the win after going two innings and striking out four. He also drove in four runs at the plate. Dickey closed out the final inning by striking out the side. He also drove in two runs and stole two bases. JCM’s pitchers walked nine,

and 14 Bobcats reached base in the contest on their way to scoring 19 runs on only seven hits.

Cardinal Soccer ties Scotts Hill in first game By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

After 20 days of waiting to kick off their 2012 regular season, the Adamsville Cardinals were thankful to play their first game of the year.

Adamsville- 0 Scotts Hill- 0

In the Cardinals’ first soccer match, AHS played Scotts Hill to a 0-0 draw, with which Cardinal head coach Steven Price was not displeased. “It was a defensive struggle. Neither team could take advantage of their opportuni-

ties,” said Price. “It was the first game of the year. We’re still shaking off the rust, and new players are still learning. I was pleased with it.” Scotts Hill put nine shots on goal in the contest while Adamsville had seven. Senior goalkeeper Josh Shoate recorded three saves in the match. Jack Majors also saw time in the goal and recorded three saves as well. The Cardinals’ match scheduled against Riverside for last Thursday was canceled. They will travel to Chester County Thursday to take on the Eagles.

With an 8-0 lead going into the bottom of the second, it appeared that Adamsville was on its way to another easy victory over the Tigers, but things were not what they appeared. “Scary game at Middleton,” said Cardinal head coach Steven Lambert. “Let them back in the game after getting on them early. Luckily, we were able to answer and stay undefeated in the district. Proud to be 4-0.” Middleton pushed eight runs across the plate in the bottom of the second and another in the fourth to take a 9-8 lead, but Adamsville did not roll over. In the top of the fifth, Drew Griswell tripled and later scored on a Hunter McSwain single. McSwain then scored on a Kasey Hurley sacrifice fly to give AHS a 10-9 lead. Josh Chappell came up with an insurance run in the sixth by hitting his second home run in as many games, and it proved to be the difference for the Cards with Middleton scoring a run in their last at-bat. Chappell got the start on the mound for Adamsville and was relieved by senior Josh Burks. Hurley entered in the fourth inning and finished it out for the Cardinals, picking up his first win in the process.

TCA Tennis tops AHS By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The Cardinal Tennis teams suffered a couple tough losses April 3 when they traveled to Jackson, Tenn. to take on Trinity Christian Academy. Cardinal Tennis head coach Michael Harvill said it was a tough day for his teams and it showed in the scores. Despite the losses, the girls are still 3-1 and the boys are 2-2. The girls tasted defeat for the first time all season, losing 7-2 to the Lady Lions. Freshman Allison Smarsh was the only Lady Cardinal to pick up a victory in a singles match. She won 8-3. In doubles action, Ali Gean and Caroline Gray picked up an 8-6 victory. The Cardinal boys fell to the Lions 7-0. Freshman Cody Trumble played the boys’ closest singles match but lost, 8-5, to TCA’s Mason Ross. The Cardinals were scheduled to play at Lexington last Thursday, but that match was canceled. They will host Lexington at Buford Pusser Memorial Park Thursday.

game,” said Bobcat head coach Nick Cook. “It took a while for our guys to adjust to Chester’s swarm style offense, but they never got any quality looks near the goal.” Goalkeeper Tyler Henry flawlessly saved seven out of seven shots by Chester County. In overtime play, sophomore midfielder Easton Hawkins scored at approximately 81 minutes and 30 seconds and was assisted by senior Juan Macias. MCHS junior midfielder Matt Frye gave the Bobcats a second goal at 91 minutes for the 2-0 win.

“Juan Macias started slicing through the exhausted Chester defense,” said Cook, “and set Easton Hawkins up for an easy goal in overtime. Later Matt Frye stole a ball while running rampant through the Chester defense and then he found the back of the net.” Rainouts have forced the Bobcats to postpone games against Adamsville and Liberty Tech, but upcoming games include Trinity Christian and Scotts Hill. McNairy Central will face these district foes with a 4-0 record.

BSES Students Kick Butts

Kick Butts Day is a national day of activism that empowers youth to speak up and take action against tobacco use. It is a creative means to involve youth in addressing tobacco use through a “kids” approach. Kick Butts Day involves students from schools across the country participating in events and activities that call attention to the problems caused by tobacco. Tennessee youth will paint “shorts” in honor of a life cut short. Pictured: Mrs. Anita Graves, art teacher and Renee Nathans, an eighth grader of Bethel Springs Elementary School.

A Man in Uniform By Aaron Friend

The United States military is one of the most powerful militaries in the history of the world. One of the reasons for this is the fact that the military is bursting with some of the most patriotic and brave people in the world. One thing that makes these particular people is that they are willing to go the distance for their country, no matter what the circumstances are. The pride that each of these people have for their country is what sets them apart from so many other people. Thus, it is important to reveal the thoughts that reside within one person from McNairy Central High School who is going to be serving this fine country.

Ron Dempewolf Ron Dempewolf is a senior this year. Dempewolf said that he has already enlisted in the United States Army, with active duty in the intelligence field. Dempewolf said that his ship date is set for June 12, 2012, and he plans to ful-

fill twenty years in the Army. When asked why he joined the Army, Dempewolf said that he had never really wanted to do anything else. Since he never planned to attend a university, Dempewolf realized that he just wanted to join the United States Army. Furthermore, Dempewolf said that he has had multiple members of his family served in the United States armed forces. His cousin, Dennis Smith, is a marine currently working inside of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Finally, Dempewolf was asked what the United States meant to him. In response, Dempewolf replied, “The United States is my homeland and the greatest country on Earth.” The patriotic sentiment described by Dempewolf certainly describes the feelings of the men and women that join the United States military year after year. The bravery shown by these courageous men and women should thus, be applauded. Whether you are for or against the wars that we wage should not interfere with having a sense of appreciation for the troops that risk their lives day in and day out to help preserve the freedoms that Americans enjoy each year. So next time you see a man (or woman) in uniform, please be sure to thank them for their service and devotion to this great nation.

Brain Breaks By: Holly Henson

Learning new things at school every day can be very rewarding but also very tiring if you have lecture for the whole hour and a half of class. Considering the average attention for teenagers is about twenty minutes, many students start to lose focus and attention during each block. To help solve this problem history teacher, John Friend, decided to give brain breaks every day in each of his classes. Seniors, Emily Harris, Jeremy Prather and Terry Somers get to experience brain breaks everyday together in Friend’s psychology class. Harris loves brain breaks and thinks it is a great tool to use in the classroom. “Mr. Friend normally gives about five minutes for our brain breaks. I think it is the perfect amount of time. It gives us enough time to soak in what he has been teaching without us wandering off,” said Harris. During brain breaks, she usually gets up and stretches, uses the restroom, finishes up on notes, or just chats with friends. She feels that being able to do all these things provides a very positive effect during class time. “Brain breaks help students to stay more focused. Taking a break gives students the opportunity to stretch, and when class starts back they are ready to pay attention,” commented Harris. According to her, all classes should adopt the idea of giving a brain break. “Brain breaks are a great tool for classes that require students to

should be longer, in order to have enough time to discuss all the material learned,” said Somers. In his opinion, brain breaks serve many positives. “They give us time to “reboot”, to soak in what has been taught to us, and to release desires to talk which can prevent unwanted outbursts, like saying bunkie,” exclaimed Somers. Since there are so many positives, he believes that there is always a need for brain breaks in every class. “They benefit every student, and they give teachers a chance to get certain things done,” remarked Somers. Due to the comments, brain breaks sure to be a hit with each and every student. Hopefully more teachers will adopt this much appreciated idea.

absorb a lot of information. If students minds are allowed to relax halfway during the block, then they are more likely to meet their full potential,” stated Harris. Prather says that brain breaks are his favorite part of the day. “I think brain breaks are awesome because I can go to the restroom or get a snack. The only thing wrong is that they are too short,” explained Prather. He feels that students need breaks in every class so more teachers should really consider giving them a try. “Brain breaks only have positive effects. It helps students that really need to go to the restroom, that are hungry, and just really don’t care about what the teacher has to say,” ended Prather. Somers loves brain b r e a k s because they allow him to interact with other students. “During brain breaks, I usually discuss current events or what material is discussed in class. I do Jeremy Prather enjoys a minute to goof feel that they around during the brain break.

Selmer Middle School students celebrated Pi Day on Wednesday, March 14, 2012, by bringing “pie” to school. Shown in the picture are, left to right, Kayla Reaves, Laini Plunk, Meg Suggs, Chase Lemilliere, Zali Robinson, and Lydia Locke. Students calculated the circumference and area of all the honored pies before eating them. Pi is the mathematical relationship that exists between the circumference and the diameter of circles.

Independent Appeal v Page 11B

Classes pay off for Adamsville artist By Christen Coulon Editor

Looking at the artwork of Bob Reynolds, one can imagine the decades of apprenticeship and learning that have allowed him to craft these works of beauty. However, Reynolds’ has taken a somewhat unusual path to becoming a fine craftsman. After spending a lifetime working with electronics, this Adamsville resident has chosen to spend his retirement years working as a caricature carver. Surprisingly, Reynolds began his art career just four years ago when he decided to take a three-hour class in pin turning in Nashville. Following the course, he found he had a knack for woodworking and followed up with a week-long course in woodworking in Lebanon, Tenn. Since then, Reynolds has sold hundreds of works and continues to produce his wonderful art. Reynolds credits, “an eye for detail,” with his ability to craft his works of art. He said that he picked up a talent and patience to work on things with such fine detail during his career fixing electronics. Reynolds worked at radio and television stations in Memphis then focused his talents fixing and programing gas and water meters before retiring.

“If you broke it, I fixed it,” Reynolds said. When he retired Reynolds and his wife, Jane, moved to Adamsville where he has set up his workshop for his carving. He said that his wife has been very supportive of his work, and despite the inevitable mess created when carving wood, she even lets him work in their home during the winter months. He currently specializes in creating hand carved miniature figures and bottle stoppers made from kiln-dried Bass wood from Wisconsin. Reynolds said that he had initial success selling his work to tourists on river barges when they stopped in Savannah, Tenn., but since the boats have stopped coming, he has kept busy with word-of-mouth business, festivals and events in which he travels to sell his work. Reynolds said that his most popular work to-date has been his Santa Claus head bottle stoppers of which he has sold dozens. Reynolds also toyed with creating carved faces in golf balls, however he discontinued that work due to the excessive amount of time it took to create. When asked if he had considered selling his work online, he shrugged at the idea, saying that if he got more orders, than he would have to create more carvings...“I’m retired,” Reynolds said.
