After reading last week’s story on the alleged beating of James D. McKinney by then Selmer policeman Christopher Reynolds, Reynolds approached the Independent Appeal wishing to give his side of the story. Reynolds characterized the information contained in the complaint for the lawsuit against him in general as being two percent true. He said the traffic stop was legitimate. On April 28 2011, Reynolds attempted to stop a tan/brown four-door sedan traveling at a high speed on Circle Hill Drive in Selmer, according to the arrest report provided by the Selmer Police Department. Reynolds caught up to the vehicle as it turned from Hillcrest Street to Willow Street. The driver, later identified by dispatch as James D. McKinney exited his vehicle and headed toward the front door of his residence. Reynolds asked McKinney to return to his vehicle and
McKinney replied that he did not have to since he was on his property, the report states. Reynolds detained McKinney and called for another patrol unit. Patrolman William A. Westbrooks arrived several minutes later. While starting the paperwork, dispatch informed Reynolds that McKinney’s driver’s license was revoked for a driving under the influence conviction. The report states that McKinney became combative and cursed the officers, kicking the window of the patrol car several times and Reynold’s leg, according to the report. McKinney was then sprayed, the report says. McKinney complained about a medical condition and was taken to McNairy Regional Hospital to be treated, according to the report. He tried to jerk away from Westbrooks and Reynolds, grabbed Reynolds privates and was taken to the ground with Reynolds placing his knee on McKinney’s back. McKinney was taken to the treatment room and upon being released stated that he was not going back to jail and had to be forcefully placed in the

Pickwick Electric truck stolen in Selmer By Christen Coulon Editor
The Independent Appeal looks back at the 10 most memorable high school sporting contests of the previous school year. Submit your own top 10 list to us at submissions@independentappeal.com. PAGE 4B
A truck belonging to the Pickwick Electric Cooperative was reported missing on June 20 from the residence of Darren Smith. According to the police report filed by Selmer Officer Kimberly Findley, the white Ford F150 truck was removed from Smith’s driveway sometime after 11 p.m. on June 19. “The vehicle was unlocked, with the key above the visor,” Findley said in her report. The truck included a utility bed with a
number of tools and is described as having PEC stickers on both sides; the number 306 is printed on the driver’s side door, a rectangular orange light is on the cab, and a dent was reported to be located on the passenger side door. A complete list missing items was not provided to the department in the report, and it was listed that a full inventory would be provided at a later date. Brad Howell, vice president of human resources and communications for PEC said that the value of the missing items was still
being tabulated and that the cooperative is assisting local authorities in every way possible to find a resolution to this incident. Howell said that this is an isolated incident and that he was not aware of any vehicle thefts involving PEC vehicles during his tenure with the organization spanning the last 12 years. He added that it was standard procedure for workers to take their trucks home with them at night as was the case in this incident. “We are just waiting to see if the truck turns up at this point,” Howell said.

Fifty graduates from the McNairy County Adult Education Center walked the line Sunday earning their GED, a high school general equivalency diploma. Each student was offered free GED classes provided by the dedicated staff at the Adult Education Center, which includes instruction in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science. Literacy Council President, Carolyn Bowers presented select graduates with special awards. Superior Citizenship was awarded to Wendy Nance.

on their GED test and 34 graduates received a score of 500 or above. The family-oriented group had two sets of siblings working together to receive diplomas: Kennette and Raisa Madera and sisters, Blake and Melissa Williams. “It is thrilling to see family members working together to improve their education,” said Adult Education Supervisor, Patsy Pearson. Speeches were presented to each graduate encouraging the class to move forward, including a story told by Sarena Downs about life’s hurdles and how she overcame the obstacles to reach her success today.

Pickup truck carrying nine people involved in Selmer wreck By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
A truck carrying a driver and eight passengers was involved in a wreck with another vehicle last Wednesday in Selmer. According to an unofficial crash report provided by the Selmer Police Department, Ptl. William A. Westbrooks was dispatched to Highway 45 S. (Mulberry Avenue). Upon his arrival, he noticed two vehicles in the middle of the highway, a black SUV and a white pickup truck. The driver of the black 2010 Chevrolet Traverse, Courtney B. Henson, 25, of Selmer, told Westbrooks she was pulling out from Moore’s Lane across from the Raceway gas station onto Highway 45 and there was an 18-wheeler stopped in the lane just south of where Henson was pulling out from. Henson said the driver of the big truck signaled with his hand for her to come on as Henson was entering into
the southbound lane. As she was entering into the southbound lane, a vehicle from behind the tractor trailer was trying to make the green light by coming around the truck and another vehicle that was directly behind the tractor trailer and ran into Henson’s vehicle. The white 1988 Ford X18 pickup, driven by Pablo Leal Moya, 52, of Brownsville, Tenn. was traveling in the southbound lane trying to reenter the northbound turning lane at the intersection of Highways 45 and 64. Moya told Westbrooks that he did not see Henson’s vehicle until it was too late to stop. Moya was cited for expired insurance card. There were eight passengers in the white pickup, all living at 762 Phillips Road in Alamo, Tenn. They were Jose A. Leal, Jr., 30, Jose Guadalupe Mota Ramirez, 24, Ramiro R. Ramirez, 39, Jose Escobedo, 20, Jorge Armando Moyo Ramirez, Martin Nova Guegrcre, 25 and Juan Rodrego Moya Ramirez, 20.

King’s benefit proves a success By Amanda Lowrance Staff Writer
Many were in attendance to honor Larron King at the Gifts to a Giver celebration and the Give back to the Giver ride last Saturday afternoon. The events featured music, food, fun, fellowship, and prayer to honor the late hero and the money helped support Mr. King’s family in their time of need. “It is a blessing and a joy to see how the community comes together to help those in need,” said Chris Whitten, one of the benefit organizers. “I am proud to say
I am from McNairy County.” The day began with a motorcycle ride that left from the McNairy County Justice Complex and finished at Michie School, where the evening events took place. There was music, a cake walk, and the day ended with a silent auction and an auction of donated items. King’s family and friends would like to thank the committee members that spent weeks planning and organizing, the businesses and individuals that donated items for the auction, Jay Whirley Auctions, all the great volunteers, and everyone that came out to support.

First year for fireworks tents in Selmer Christen Coulon
County Commission meets
Too late for animal control, too early for Coon Creek purchase
Editor
This year, 4th of July fireworks will be sold in tents within the City of Selmer for the first time following the Selmer Board’s approval of an ordnance in August 2011 allowing their sale. The ordinance, which regulates the sale of fireworks and mandates that the tents must remain at least 60 feet from permanent occupied structures, 150 feet away from residences and 45 feet from all right of ways, came after citizens petitioned the board to change the previous policy which allowed fireworks to be sold only within permanent structures. “The tents are safer,” said Selmer Mayor David Robinson, “The state’s fire marshall office inspects every tent and issues permits to sell.” Robinson said that the ordinance was a good idea stating that other municipalities in Tennessee already offer this form of commerce and that the added safety regulations made sense for the city.

A fireworks tent in Selmer. “It’s going really good this year,” said Wesley Roberts Selmer fireworks retailer from Joeys Fireworks on Mulberry Ave. near McDonald’s. Roberts agreed with Mayor Robinson that he felt that the tent situation was safer and invited residents to come out to his tent. The ordinance also regulates who can buy the fireworks and how they can be used within the city, prohibiting any minor (under 16 years
of age) or intoxicated person from purchasing fireworks and prohibits their use in dangerous situations near many populated areas and from or into automobiles. Robinson also reminded citizens of the legal time frame under the ordinance to display fireworks within the city of Selmer. Fireworks are allowed from 10 a.m.-10:30 p.m. on July 1-4 and from 8 p.m.-1 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
The McNairy County Commission passed its budget for the next fiscal year, but failed to take action on animal control and purchasing Coon Creek at its meeting last Monday. Karen Rudolph of Schnauzer Savers Rescue of West Tennessee spoke to the commission about animal control. She made an impassioned plea to the commission to set aside the funds to open, operate and staff a county animal shelter. Ashe replied that this request would have to go through the budget committee. “We can’t do it this year. We might talk about it a lot, but as far as funding, it is too late. I don’t think there is anybody on this body that would t disagree with what you said. We need something, but I’ll go one step further. I’m speaking only for myself. Funding is the problem,” Ashe said. The commission voted to take no action for now on purchasing the Coon Creek Fossil Farm. Pink Palace, which currently owns the facility, offered to sell it for $315,000. A grant is available to purchase the property, but it comes with a 50 percent match, which means the county would have to put up around $150,000. The property is appraised at $430,000. If the county purchased the site, it would be responsible for utilities, insurance and maintenance. Pink Palace currently spends around $15,000 to $20,000 a year on these expenses. The commissioners expressed concern about the cost, the lack of information and the short deadline for the application, which is due Friday. The commission voted to wait until the next
grant cycle, which is in two years, to again consider the purchase. The commission voted to dedicate a 3.2 mile stretch of road from Rose Creek Road to Sulphur Springs Road to Larron King. This will have to be approved by the Tennessee General Assembly, which convenes in January. The county also passed the budget and property tax rate resolutions. Last year’s property tax rate of $2.09 per $100 appraised value will remain the same. “We’ve got a balanced budget, no service cuts and no tax increases. In these times, that’s a pretty good job,” said County Mayor Wilburn Gene Ashe. The commission approved appointments to three committees. County Fire Chief Darrell Goodrum, Sheriff Guy Buck and Amy Oakley were appointed to the E911 Board. Dennis Goff chose not to seek reappointment. Judy Bivens, Buck, Goodrum, County Commissioner/Bethel Volunteer Fire Department Chief David McCullar and Highway Commissioner Harvey Smith were appointed to the Safety Committee. This is a new committee that will reduce the County’s workmen’s compensation bill 1 percent, Ashe said. Shelia Durr, Leanne Jones and Jay Poindexter were appointed to the Library Board.
v WHAT’S NEXT The McNairy County Commission will not meet in July; their next meeting is Aug. 13.
July 4th Fireworks Safety Starts with Common Sense By National Council on Fireworks Safety Submitted
Using consumer fireworks on our nation’s birthday is as American as apple pie, backyard barbecues and parades on Main Street. And it is equally safe if a few common sense rules are followed, says Nancy Blogin, President of the National Council on Fireworks Safety. Nancy notes that thanks to testing of consumer fireworks in China, through the American Fireworks Standards Laboratory and other testing programs, and rigorous enforcement of federal fireworks regulations by the CPSC, consumer fireworks today are safer than ever before. But Nancy notes that fireworks related accidents do occur each year, however, most could be eliminated if some basic safety steps had been taken. The National Council on Fireworks Safety offers these common sense safety tips for
using consumer fireworks in the hopes that injuries to consumers can be greatly reduced this season: • Parents and caretakers should always closely supervise teens if they are using fireworks. • Parents should not allow young children to handle or use fireworks. • Fireworks should only be used outdoors. • Always have water ready if you are shooting fireworks. • Know your fireworks. Read the caution label before igniting. • Obey local laws. If fireworks are not legal where you live, do not use them. • Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. • Wear safety glasses whenever
using fireworks.
• Never throw sparklers.
• Never relight a “dud” firework. Wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water.
• Sparkler wire and stick remain hot long after the flame has gone out. Be sure to drop spent sparklers in a bucket of water.
• Soak spent fireworks with water before placing them in an outdoor garbage can. • Avoid using homemade fireworks or illegal explosives: They can kill you! • Report illegal explosives, like M-80s and quarter sticks, to the fire or police department Note these special safety tips, if using sparklers: • Always remain standing while using sparklers. • Never hold a child in your arms while using sparklers. • Never hold, or light, more than one sparkler at a time.
• Teach children not to wave sparklers, or run, while holding sparklers. The National Council on Fireworks Safety urges Americans to follow these common sense safety rules this Fourth of July in their holiday celebrations. The National Council on Fireworks Safety is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose sole mission is to educate the public on the safe and responsible use of consumer fireworks.

I present to you, the citizens, my resume and the reason I want to be your next county mayor.
My Resume

I have the education, background, network of contacts and a plan of action to bring jobs to McNairy County. I believe so strongly in my ability to make a difference in McNairy County that I have resigned my job in Wayne County. It will take time and citizen involvement to turn this situation around.

Rice proposes ‘tuition freeze’ during visit
School board passes 2012-13 budget By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
The McNairy County Board of Education passed their budget for the next fiscal year at their June 16 meeting. The schools will take in and spend nearly $29 million next year. Nearly $17 million will be spent on instruction, including nearly $12 million for teachers’ salaries. Nearly $6 million in revenues come from local taxes, almost $23 million come from the State, including $21 million from the Basic Education Program. These funds are supposed to cover a basic level of education. Of the local share of taxes, county property taxes provide around $3.5 million and local option sales taxes provide another $2 million. The budget includes a 2.5 percent raise for the 373 certified positions, including teachers. They passed amendments to the previous year’s school nutrition budget and the school nutrition budget for the next fiscal year. They also passed amendments to this year’s school budget and the budget for the next fiscal year. They approved an addition to the internet policy on second reading. It now becomes law. The board also approved various bids, including school nutrition bids. They also approved a breakfast waiver for McNairy Central High School. MCHS does not have a place to serve breakfast because the commons area is where students assemble the first thing in the morning. The board also passed an offer versus serve policy on first reading. This policy allows students to turn down foods they do not plan to eat. Their meals still meet federal nutrition standards. Students must select foods from a certain number of food groups. The board voted to declare certain property

patrol car. McKinney was then taken to the McNairy County Jail where he had to be forcefully removed from the patrol car and escorted to the booking room to be processed, according to the report. The report says that a strong odor of intoxicant was on McKinney’s person and inside the patrol car. McKinney’s car was seized in accordance with state law and he was issued a cita-
surplus. This includes computer equipment and furniture. The board voted to approve paper bids and technology bids. Better Source, of Uniontown, Ohio, was awarded the paper bid for approximately $20,000. Some of the computers purchased for the One to One program are processors connected to four keyboards and monitors, according to Technology Coordinator Terry Burns. These computers have a three year warranty and will be used in seventhgrade One to One classes next year. “It’s extremely fast,” Burns said. Burns noted that they have had a lot of problems with the laptop batteries, though laptops will continue to be used where they are already in use. Burns also said the One to One program has received $6,000 in Roundup money from Selmer and Adamsville and around $1,200 to $1,500 from Michie. This money comes from rounding utility bills up to the nearest dollar. They awarded the bids for uniforms and dust mops to Unifirst Corp. They tabled the 2012-2013 bus bids and recommendation to purchase two special education buses, in order to rebid the special education buses since the board agreed to buy only air-conditioned buses in the past. They took no action on bids for gym lighting, wishing to talk to the bidders on how much money replacing lights would save. They passed the comprehensive plans for IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). This law governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education and related services to children with disabilities. They voted to allow the schools to carry outstanding invoices over to the new fiscal year. Chairman Frank Lacey said there was nothing new to report on the planning committee, which is charged with the school building program.
tion for running the stop sign at the intersection of State and Hillcrest Streets, the report says. Other charges brought against McKinney, included disorderly conduct, driving on revoked/ suspended license, resisting arrest and reckless driving. All of the charges were later dismissed, according to the Tennessee Court Information System. “I just see dollar signs on his part,” Reynolds said of the lawsuit. “When this is cleared up, I will go back into law enforcement,” Reynolds said about his future plans.

By Christen Coulon Editor
A breakfast meet and greet was held for State Senate candidate Meryl Rice at the home of Selmer resident Billy Glover on June 19. During the event Rice stood before a group of McNairy County educators and business leaders and decried the Tennessee Board of Regents’ proposal to increase tuition rates by some 4-7 percent at our public universities, community colleges, and technology centers. Rice said “I do not believe people who are trying to better their lives through education and training should be punished for it. We are living in a tough economy and every penny counts.” Rice also stated that the state has a budget surplus of $225 million dollars and that some of this money should be used to freeze tuition rates. “When we make college and training more affordable, we are preparing a workforce to meet the demands of 21st century jobs, and society as a whole benefits. That’s why I support the Hope Lottery Scholarship, and that’s why I think we ought to freeze tuition rates.” Meryl Rice is running for the District 26 State Senate seat. The district includes Hardeman, Hardin, Fayette, Henderson, Chester, Decatur, McNairy, and Haywood Counties. Greg Bowden said that it is unusual that a civil case would precede a federal criminal case. “I feel quite confident that the facts will come out and I will be vindicated,” Reynolds told the Independent Appeal last Monday. Federal officials familiar with the case said that the facts of the incident have been presented to the Justice Department, however, Walter Gunn, of the U. S. Attorney’s office in Memphis, said that there was no prosecution of Reynolds at this time. Tennessee Assistant District Attorney General Bob Gray said that since the federal investigation created issues of double jeopardy there was no state prosecution.

Young. Tennessee had 12,047 GED graduates in 2011, but there are roughly one million adults without a high school diploma. “If you know someone who needs a GED, it is very important that they see us soon,” said Pearson. “The test is going to be changing. The cost is going up. There are a lot of other endeavors that let us know it is going to be difficult and harder to get a GED.” According to the Tennessee Department of Labor major changes to the GED test will take effect in 2014 and it’s the biggest alteration yet since the first credentialing test in 1942. There will be more rigorous general and higher level math proficiencies, the cost will rise from an average $65 to a minimum of $120, and it will be strictly computerized. “New jobs are not being created for those without a high school education,” said Commissioner Karla Davis. “Unemployment rates are inversely related to the level of education a person has achieved. The more education a person has, the less likely he is to be unemployed. The same is true of income – the income differences between a person who does not have a high school diploma or GED and a person who does are striking.” Students that do not pass the test by December 31, 2013 will start over with the new 2014 edition. Last year, nearly 29,000 students dropped out of high school. With the McNairy County Adult Education Center there is still an opportunity to receive a high school education and to move forward into the work force.
WhataPizza: New name, same great menu Independent Appeal Staff Advertorial
WhataPizza WhataPrice: On June 1, Selmer’s Shaker’s pizza has changed its name to WhataPizza, but owners Jon Yopp and Brent Dawkins want to remind customers that they can still get the same great pizza they are used to at a great price. The family-owned restaurant, which has served Selmer since 2010, plans to offer the same full menu as before under the new franchise name. “It’s not just pizzas,” Yopp said. “We still do the subs, wings, pasta, salads and everything.” In fact, the only thing that has changed according to Dawkins, is the quality of the pizza ingredients which he said has improved with the switch to WhataPizza. “We want people to know that the name change (brings) better food, it’s a better pizza,” Dawkins said. “As far as the rest of the menu items, they were not franchise items, they were ours only. None of these items have changed. Dawkins said the biggest change with the new name was the switch to a bet-
ter pizza which includes a higher quality sauce and better cheese. He encouraged residents to come out and try the new pizza and determine for themselves. Co-owners Yopp and Dawkins, who are also first cousins, said another main reason for the switch was for better name recognition and franchise support. They said that when the name changed at the beginning of this month, they were Shaker’s best store, but switching to WhataPizza just made more sense. Even with the higher quality ingredients, WhataPizza plans to offer the same great value for their dollar that customers have come to expect with this store. Large (14 inch), one-topping pizzas are just $6.99 everyday and large speciality pizzas are $10.99. Yopp and Dawkins also wanted to assure all of the spud lovers out there that the baked potatoes will remain on the menu. Whatapizza is open six days a week Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.- 9 p.m., closed Sunday, and offers dine-in and carry-out orders.

Weatherford in Washington: AiM opens new facility, hires first managing director Amazing artist honored in nation’s capitol By Emily Pitts
By Emily Pitts Staff Writer
Arts in McNairy has been busy since its 10year anniversary in 2011. This year, to kick off a new decade of the arts in McNairy County, the organization not only opened the new home that they will be sharing with McNairy Regional Alliance, the Latta Visitors’ and Cultural Center, but also hired its first managing director, Paige Holmes. AiM and MRA held a grand opening of the new facility on June 9th in conjunction with the fourth annual Rockabilly Highway Revival. The Latta will serve as a visitors’ center for the county and houses MRA offices as well as gallery space and a state of the art theatre for AiM. AiM debuted its first art gallery collection in the new space during the Rockabilly Highway Revival on June 9. The theatre has already been christened as well, facilitating the last show of AiM’s 2011-12 theatre season “Into the Woods” this past weekend. The new space will allow AiM to produce and present more theater, concerts, visual art, and fine craft and cultural heritage exhibits, as well as providing a meeting place for the AiM book club and other endeavors. “This building is the best possible way to promote our mission, which is bringing art to the people of McNairy County,” said Leanne Emmons, AiM president. “It will be a permanent place for art exhibits, concerts, plays, and much more where we can bring art to everyone.” With all the transition involved in the move to home of its own, the AiM board required some extra help. Paige Holmes, a 15year resident of Selmer, was recently hired by the board to serve as a point of contact for scheduling events at the Latta. Additionally, she will support the AiM board with planning, fundraising and marketing.
“I am absolutely thrilled to be contributing to an arts organization as vibrant as Arts in McNairy,” said Holmes. “I remember when AiM was just an idea. I was excited about what was going on in the community, and I have always wanted to be a part of the growing arts community here. When I was given the opportunity to work for AiM, I jumped at the chance.” Emmons was eager to get Holmes started. “I told Paige she was the answer to our prayers,” said Emmons. “We have needed someone for a long time to help coordinate our efforts.” Before coming to AiM, Holmes worked as the Director of Development and Marketing for The Jackson Symphony in Jackson, Tenn. She has a background in management and human resources in non-profit and for-profit organizations. She received her MBA from Union University in 2007 and her B.S. degree in Organizational Communication from Freed-Hardeman University in 1990. She also teaches business as an adjunct instructor for Columbia State Community College. “AiM has done a wonderful job of planning, funding, and presenting arts programming that is uniquely McNairy County,” said Holmes. “As AiM grows, its mission will continue and expand.” Founding Board member Dr. Shawn Pitts summed up the organization’s excitement of the next phase of growth for AiM. “Arts in McNairy has thrived, thanks to the support of numerous local patrons, loyal corporate partners and enthusiastic audiences. We are so grateful for a community that embraces the organization’s mission and supports it in so many ways. Having a permanent home and bringing someone of Paige Holmes’ caliber on board will allow us to build on past successes and continue a strong track record of innovation in rural arts development.”

Weatherford with Congresswoman Blackburn and her mother Wendy at the U.S. Capitol. able to attend school full-time for the last half of the year, as well as make the trip to Washington, D.C. to be recognized and see her work displayed in the capitol. Weatherford and her mother arrived in Washington on Tuesday, and the first thing they did was tour all of the Smithsonian art museums. “It was amazing to see so many works of art in person that I had only seen in books before,” said Weatherford. The next day, Weatherford met with Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, took a few photos, toured the capitol, and saw her work on display. Weatherford’s work, along with student art from across the nation, will hang in the Cannon Tunnel that connects the U.S. Capitol to the Cannon House Office Building, where members of Congress and hundreds of visitors will see it every day. It is currently on display and will be there for one year. “It was amazing to see my art hanging with artwork by people all over the country,” said Weatherford. “I was pretty overwhelmed and could only think of
ways I should have made mine better. There were some really amazing pieces.” “Many outstanding young artists submitted works for this year’s competition,” said Congresswoman Blackburn. “I look forward to displaying ‘Singing My Blues’ in the halls of Congress and congratulate Molly on her success.” Weatherford’s parents are proud of her success as well. “She’s so quiet, but her mind is always working,” said mother Wendy. “I’m just amazed by everything she does, and I’m so proud of her for all her accomplishments.” Weatherford will attend Austin Peay State University in the fall on an art scholarship. She plans to get a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in drawing. She also hopes to study abroad and is considering a minor in creative writing. One thing is sure: with many successes behind her and a bright future ahead, Weatherford is no longer “Singing My Blues.”

To be honored in the Nation’s Capitol is a dream that most work a lifetime for and never achieve. For one McNairy County artist, however, this was only the beginning. Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition. This year’s winner of Tennessee’s Seventh Congressional District was recent McNairy Central graduate Molly Weatherford. You may remember Weatherford from previous Independent Appeal articles about her senior project. She chose to paint a mural and was mentored by Brian Tull, the McNairy County native and Nashville artist behind Selmer’s two murals. Weatherford cannot remember a time when art has not been a part of her life. “It’s an outlet of sorts,” she stated. “I don’t really know what sparked my interest in it, but it’s just something I’ve always surrounded myself with, or tried to at least.” Surprisingly, this was Weatherford’s first time to enter an art contest. “I decided to enter the competition because I had never entered an art contest before, and I had some faith in the piece itself,” said Weatherford. Her work, “Singing My Blues,” was chosen from many submissions from across the district, which includes parts of 14 counties. The artwork was judged by a panel of local artists. “Singing My Blues” is an excellent piece, but it is more than just a work of art; it tells a part of Weatherford’s story. “At the beginning of the year I was really sick, and for three months the most I could do was go to school for half a day and then go to bed,” she said. “I learned that I had a health condition that I would have to live with for the rest of my life, and that was a really hard thing to grasp. In ‘Singing My Blues’ there’s a girl sitting in her windowsill; it’s open, and the city is down below her. She’s surrounded by a loud crowded city, but she’s alone curled up in her window. She’s distancing herself from everything. Basically, it represents the loneliness and isolation I felt at the time I drew it, of the way I felt when all I could do was lie in bed and listen to what everyone else was doing.” Weatherford’s health has since improved, and she was

Adamsville library to host Community Career Day By Emily Pitts Staff Writer
Michie votes to raise Eastview receives grant water rates 9 percent By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
By Christen Coulon
This Friday, the Irving Meek Jr. Public Library will host a Community Career Day in conjunction with the final event of its summer reading program. At 9:30 a.m., the library will hold its regular summer reading event for children with The Magic Guy, Skip Cain. At 10, the child who read the most pages from the library over the summer will be recognized and presented with a prize. The second part of the morning will be the Community Career Day. The event was organized with the help of the office of Barrett Rich, who because of redistricting will soon be replacing Vance Dennis as McNairy County’s state representative. Rich, as well as other local dignitaries, will be present and speaking at the event. A Career Coach will also be at the library for the morning. The Career Coach is a bus which offers services similar to those of a Tennessee Career Center. There will be several computers inside the mobile center where people can receive instruction and assistance with applying for jobs online, as well as help with resumes and interview skills. All children and adults from the community are invited to attend. People will be able to register for door prizes, and light refreshments will be served. “The community has been through so much,” said library director Marsha Jernigan. “We have so many people that come to the library to use the computers to apply for jobs, and they talk about how much it’s affecting their lives. I just wanted to do anything I could to help.” For more information about the Community Career Day, contact the Irving Meek Jr. Public Library at (731) 632-3572.

The town of Michie met last Monday and worked to finalize their budget for the new fiscal year, which will include an approximate 9 percent increase to town water rates. The meeting began with the approval of last month’s minutes as well as the minutes from their special called meeting in June. Board members examined the application process for a pending Community Development Block Grant relating to the 2008 storm that hit the county. The grant has not yet been approved, but the town is still in the running for some of the remaining monies. The board then discussed contract employee terms including the options and requirements for said workers’ compensation insurance coverage. The board then voted to accept the lowest total bid for the paving of their civic center and ball field. The bids went to Redmon Asphalt for both projects on the first reading. The board approved a measure to raise water rates in order for their department to remain soluble for the upcoming year; the measure included a future rate hike in coming years that would be tied to the annual cost of living. The cost of living increases in the future were designed to prevent a repeat of larger increases similar to this year. The board then approved the budget on the third reading prior to adjourning.
Adamsville receives Community Development Grant By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
City Administrator Steve Simon announced that Adamsville has received notice that it will receive a $718,000 Community Development Block Grant at the City Commission meeting on June 18. The grant does not require any match. It will be used for the wastewater system. “We have received notice from the State of Tennessee that Gov. Haslam has approved the City of Adamsville for a second round of the CDBG Disaster worth $718,900, and this grant is for I and I for the wastewater system, inflow and infiltration, work that cities across the State of Tennessee have come under decree orders to correct their sewer, and here we have some money to be able to do just that,” Simon said. Mayor David Leckner announced that there will be several personnel changes in Adamsville government. Police Chief Bill McCall will be retiring on August 10. He is currently on sick leave. Assistant Chief Jerry Christopher is currently Acting Police Chief and will continue to be until a permanent chief is found. “He is looking forward to retirement, and he is going to be missed...I wish him the best in his retirement and I hope he gets to enjoy

that bass boat...I know the town is well-guarded with Jerry on patrol,” Leckner said. Buford Pusser Home and Museum Curator Renee Moss will also be leaving, Leckner said. She will be leaving on June 29 for a position with the Haywood County Chamber of Commerce. “We also have another individual...who will be leaving Adamsville for greener pastures, for an outstanding job, and I know she’s going to do well there, and she’ll do just as well there as she did for us. We will miss her, but we will stay in touch, and we appreciate all the hard work you’ve done and that would be Miss Renee Moss...We wish you all the best in that,” Leckner said. In other news from the meeting, the commission passed budget amendments for the 2011-2012 budget, the 2012-2013 budget and the rezoning of the Klinck property from business to residential, all on second reading. These items now become law. Revenues for the 2012-2013 budget were about $500,000 less than budgeted because a couple of grants have not come in, Simon told the commission. The general fund is still running about a $50,000 surplus, as of May, according to the city’s financial statement. The natural gas fund expenditures and revenues were also lower than budgeted because of the mild winter, but it is still running almost a $100,000 surplus, as of May, the fi-
nancial statement said. Commissioner Tommy Morris was the lone no vote on the budget amendments, with Leckner, Vice-Mayor Matt Wood Commissioners Frank Lacey and Mark Massey voting yes. The rezoning was unanimously approved. The contract with E911 for dispatcher services was also approved on a 4-1 vote with Leckner, Wood, Massey and Lacey voting yes and Morris voting no. As reported earlier, the city will be paying $21,000 for dispatch services from E911 for one year. E911 will be providing dispatch services on weekends and from midnight to 8 a.m. in the morning. This contract begins on July 1. Leckner directed Christopher to create a plan in the event of a natural disaster to be presented at the next meeting. Christopher said all officers would be called on duty in such an event. In response to a question from the audience, Leckner said if an Adamsville officer had to transport a DUI suspect to the Justice Center, a Sheriff’s Deputy would cover Adamsville while he was doing that. “We only get that situation once in a blue moon,” Leckner said. “Our officers will actually get a call quicker now than they would have before, which is going to be better for everybody,” Lacey said.
Eastview will be getting a grant of between $750,000 and $1 million, Ryan Maloney of Griggs and Maloney, a consulting firm, announced at the city meeting on June 19. Eastview applied for a Community Development Block Grant disaster grant about a year and a half ago through Southwest Tennessee Development District, Maloney said. There seemed to be some uncertainty over how much the grant would be since the award letter said it would be $1 million and the city only asked for $750,000. The guidance said the maximum was $750,000. Maloney told the board to be thinking about other projects or ways to bolster existing projects if there were other funds available. “There’s a lot of uncertainty from the state and federal level over how they’re going to administer the grant,” Maloney told the Board of Aldermen. Maloney said that the projects would not be completed by August but will be a much longer and drawn out process. Many times grants like these will have a stepwise approach, where each phase of the project before they can be bid. The funds will be released in six
months, at the earliest, he said. Board member Elvis Butler said it took two and a half years to get the money on the first round of these grants. “You don’t need to get in any hurry,” he said. “You guys have put forth three great projects,” Maloney said. These are repairs, a box culvert and grading for the bridge on Mayflower Road, culvert replacement on Kimberly Lane and improvements to the park. The board passed a resolution to apply for a Local Parks and Recreation Fund grant. The $35,000 grant applied for will require a match of a like amount by the city. The city has received two LPRF grants in past years, including one for the walking trail in the city park according to City Recorder Emodene Smith. David Jones of Mid-South Recreation spoke to the board about park equipment and improvements. Jones said that surfacing is the most important factor driving the price of a park. Wood mulch, the least expensive surface, is the most practical choice for a total $70,000 price tag. The board also passed the city budget for the next fiscal year on third reading. It now becomes law.

McNairy Voices is a new feature in the Independent Appeal highlighting the opinions of average citizens about the issues that affect the citizens of McNairy County, the state of Tennessee, and the United States as a whole. The participants are randomly selected on the streets of the county. Their viewpoints are not necessarily that of the Independent Appeal.
ON THE WEB: Go to independentappeal.com and express your opinion on our related online poll.
Letter to the editor To the citizens of McNairy county, I have had the privilege of calling this county home for all of my life and by saying that you take the good with the bad and hope for the best. I have always had a love for politics and government and knowing the inner and outer workings of how the system works and in its intended role to benefit the people. That is why I chose to pursue the role of mayor of Adamsville to give back to my city and use the education that I have attained to make the government work for the people, my people. Initially that comment comes across as selfish and somewhat standard of a politician and I can not argue that. However, as a mayor you build partnerships and sit on many boards and belong to a coalition of others seeking the best for their cities or communities. Through this partnership common ground can be achieved if all parties are willing to pursue the greater good.
I am writing this letter in hopes that there are others within the county that share my belief in the greater good. If that is the case then I urge you all to put your attention towards the school projects in both Adamsville and Selmer. This of course is a hot topic of discussion that revolves around sales tax increases as well as the notion of shifting the wheel tax for funding. At this point we do not know the exact cost of the combined projects and this is several years after the two projects have been suggested. There are initial estimates that have been proposed that would suffice for budgeting purposes but we continue to wait as we have for some time now. In the south “talk is cheap”, I urge anyone and everyone who believes like I do in our education system to come forward and demand the building projects to be submitted to the county commission and allow the county commission to perform its duties and decide upon a fair and balanced approach to funding. Regard-
less of the direction of funding, it will have to come before the people of the county to decide upon and “we” all deserve the opportunity to decide by our vote if the building program truly is worthy. We cannot control the economy but we can control the education of our children and we must continue to re-invest in that purpose. I believe in the building of a new school in Adamsville and I believe in the building of a new school in Selmer and I will vote for what is needed to accomplish that goal. So as I end this letter I ask all of you who feel the same to become involved and ask your representatives, whether they be school board or county, to get this on the ballot to allow you to decide what should be done. Above all else remember this one last comment “old mentalities are only valid if we give those who have them power”. Respectfully, Adamsville Mayor David Leckner

Bethel springs news By Mrs. T.C. Williams Well, get out the iced tea and lemonade pitcher and anything else that will keep you cool, because the long hot days of summer are here. Would you also check on a neighbor, friend and the senior citizens to make sure they are okay during these hot days? Funeral service for McAuther Robinson age 56, who passed away June 20, 2012, will be June 25, 2012 at the Brean Church of Christ in Guys at 1 p.m., and the burial will be in the Purdy Cemetary. He was the son of the late J.L and Mary Helen Robinson Buckley. We extend to the family our deepest sympathy. Erica and Jayla Jones of Lavernge, Tenn., visited her parents and other members of the family, and also attended morning service. Rev. and Mrs Patterson and the Campbell family from Lexington were present.
Gladys Butler had a fall several weeks ago. She received three stitches, but is doing much better. Keep her in your prayers. Wynetta Robinson wasn't feeling too well. This time of year her, breathing is bad; she mostly stays inside. May the Lord continue to bless her, and all of the sick and shut-in, and also the ones in the nursing homes and hospitals. Louvella Battle and family came home for Decoration the 4th Sunday in May. She never fails to come to Bethel to remember her loved ones and visit her family and friends. May God continue to bless her to be able to come each year. Reflections: It matters not what may transcend, I'm thankful for each day God sends. I close my eyes at night and say, "Thank you God, for a lovely day!" So until next time be good to yourself and others!

Dr. Patrick Fullwood joins father’s dental practice
Mildred Haverstick by Dorothy Goodrum Contributor
So many of us have things in our life that make us who we are. Have you ever met someone and wondered what makes them act the way they do? You, the reader of our articles, have, over the last couple of years, learned about me. Today, I want to tell you about a friend of mine, Mildred Haverstick. The great lady grew up in Bethel Springs, Tenn., the daughter of Zettie and Kennie Kerby. After high school, she worked for South Central Bell as a switchboard operator for about three years. Then, at the age of twenty-two, she met and married Harold Haverstick on June 4, 1950. She went to work for Sears as an accountant for the next nine years. She and her husband then bought a farm in Oakland and raised Shetland ponies. Ms. Mildred, an animal lover, truly enjoyed this time in her life. Then tragedy happened. Mr. Harold had a massive heart attack and did not survive the attack. Ms. Mildred then sold the farm and moved to California. Since she loves to travel, she did so visiting several different
Drs. Ronnie and Patrick Fullwood After recently graduating with honors from the University Of Tennessee College Of Dentistry in Memphis, Dr. Patrick Fullwood has joined his father, Dr. Ronnie Fullwood, in their new dental office in Selmer, Tennessee. Located at 485 Mulberry Ave, their new dental office is adjacent to Bancorp South Bank of Selmer. Dr. Ronnie had practiced for 26 years in his old dental office across from the courthouse in Selmer before building their new office this past year for the addition of Patrick to the dental practice. Patrick graduated from Ad-

countries in Europe like Paris, France; Switzerland, and many more. She also visited several states and cities including Nashville to take her Mother to the Grand Old Opry. The thing she enjoyed in her life was traveling, family and her animals. She had two dogs Mickey and Susie. To a lot of people, the pets they own become their family. She also loved to dance and has won many dance contests. But things in her family needed for her to change her course of action. The traveler at this time came home to take care of the family that had given to her; now it was her turn to be the giver. Her mother was sick and had a need, so, home to Memphis she came to provide for that need. I have only been to one country outside of the United States so I really look up to this lady who loves to travel. She has seen so many things that I will only read about. So many days in our life shape us to become the person we are. One day, I was walking down the hall and enjoyed the day I saw Mrs. Mildred and Lucille McCormack decide that their walkers were no reason not to have a good old race. I hope
when I am where they are, I don't let the small thing of a walker hinder me. We all need friends, people in our life, to help us out of our own comfort zones, to shape us into what we become as friends, family member or animal lovers. I will probably never travel to all of the places Ms. Mildred has been, nor do I own any animals, but I have a respect for the differences in us that make us who we are. I am glad for the friends who come alongside of me during the good and bad times in my life to show me the difference in our lives makes us better friends. As I have often said,
the reason why God made Chocolate and Strawberry ice cream was to offer us choices in life. So today, if you have a love for travel and animals, can this homebody and animallover still be friends? I hope you have many friends. If you don't, I would like to volunteer the many people who, like Ms. Mildred, live at McNairy County Healthcare Center who have a lot of knowledge to share. They can teach you, and I am sure you can spend some of your time learning, like I have, that the struggles in life only make us stronger. Until next time.

Title IX’s 40th anniversary By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer
Last Saturday marked the 40th anniversary of Title IX, a law signed by President Richard Nixon in 1972 that opened a window to female education and allowed nearly 300,000 girls to compete in school sports across the country. Today the growth in female athletics has grown by almost 1,000 percent with over 3.1 million female student athletes. Within the county, girls began competing in basketball, later came softball, volleyball, tennis, bowling, and soccer. Outside of cheerleading there was no school competition for young female adults. In 1974, at a time when basketball was played 6-on-6 and the offense and defense never crossed mid-court, Marilyn Gilchrist received McNairy County’s first female sports award and may have received the first statewide female award, in front of legendary Pat Summitt. Gilchrist was individually recognized in girls’ basketball as Selmer School’s Most Valuable Player. Former McNairy Central physical education teacher Bobbie Randolph played an important role in helping to build girls’ sports ‘on the hill.’ “It does my heart good to see the big picture,” said Randolph, “and how much more support
girls’ sports receives now.” Basketball became 5-on-5 in the 1979-1980 season and later moved into low-age groups, teaching elementary and fundamental skills of the game, giving the ladies a head start when reaching the high school level. This year Chelsea Bodiford broke every three-point record the Lady Bobcats had ever set and moved on to sign a full basketball scholarship with Union University. Soon after, softball began in the county. “Denise Brown and I got the softball program started in the late-70s and did it without much financial support,” she said. “They just gave us three softballs a game and paid for the umpires.” The ladies have always been at a disadvantage when it comes to funding sports, because for centuries men have played a more dominant role. “When we first started the softball team, we had to play on the Dixie Youth field because we did not have a field,” Randolph said. On the positive side, women have found independence through Title IX. There has been an increase in female education, more women are taking on full-time jobs, and more women are achieving male-dominated positions. Also during the late-70s, Randolph began the volleyball program along with Shearon Smith. In the past two years,

The 2012 NBA Finals came to an abrupt finish last Thursday in Game 5 as the Miami Heat took the Championship. Forward LeBron James cradled the trophy like a baby as he was finally deemed a champion after three finals appearances and nine years in the league. Coming out strong, the Thunder won the first game at Oklahoma City, but the Heat moved on to win four in a row for the title - three of the last four victories taken on their home court. James received the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award following Miami’s 15-point win. Kevin Durant outscored James 32 to 26, but when the pressure was put on James in the third quarter, he found the Heat’s three-point shooters on the outside, and they maintained the lead by knocking down clutch shot after clutch shot. Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh combined for 44 points, and Mike Miller made seven 3-pointers to boost the score to an 23-point advantage at the last buzzer. Oklahoma City knew, going into Game 5, that it was ‘do or die’ time. After losing three straight games to the Memphis Grizzlies, the four-game losing streak to Miami was the longest Oklahoma City had faced in the post-season. My finals prediction was shattered by the Heat after looking at the numbers to favor Oklahoma City, but the young Thunder team is likely to carve out a home at the top of the Western Conference. Just around the corner is the NBA Draft, which will take place this Thursday. After winning the NCAA Championship with a record of 38-2, former Kentucky Wildcats, Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist may be favored as first round picks over standouts from Connecticut, Duke, North Carolina, Syracuse and Kansas. Davis and Kidd-Gilchrist will likely be lottery picks. Davis is a talented, lengthy freak on the court, who sports an unusual brow, and I believe he will be chosen by the Charlotte Bobcats. Gilchrist may fall on down the ladder to the Sacramento Kings. My playoff predictions for next year will include the Celtics coming out on top in the East and the Grizzlies, Mavericks and the Thunder will compete for the top spot in the West. At this point it’s difficult to predict until after the draft. (This column is the opinion of the writer and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Independent Appeal or its owner.)

The most popular of fundraiser for the Adamsville High School Football Program is just around the corner.

There, four-man teams will compete for cash prizes while golfing through the twilight hours of the evening and into the darker hours of the night. The teams will be equipped with transparent golf balls that house glow sticks which illuminate the ball so the golfers can see to strike them at night. “This event has become a huge fundraiser for our program,” said Cardinal Football head coach Brandon Gray. “We hope everyone comes out to have a good time and help us out.” A 5:00 p.m. shotgun

The environment was awesome, and everyone was out there to have fun. We’ll definitely play in (the tournament) again.” Last year, the event saw around 30 teams competing in two separate flights, but the Cardinals hope to draw in as many teams as possible. The cost per team is $250, and to enter as an individual the price is just under $63. Gray said accommodations will be made to see that individuals find a team.

NASCAR Clint Bowyer fought off Kurt Busch’s bumps and Tony Stewart’s late race efforts to make a pass at the end of the Toyota/ Save Mart 350 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Sonoma to come away with his first-ever road course victory last Sunday. It was also Bowyer’s first victory under the flag of Michael Waltrip Racing. The team had been winless since 2010. For the second consecutive week, Marcos Ambrose sat at the pole position but could not come away with a win after leading 11 laps and finished eighth. Stewart picked up 42 points for his second place finish, and Busch finished in third, good enough for 42 points as well. Greg Biffle’s saeventh place finish bumped him back up to second place in the NSCS points standings, but he still trails Matt Kenseth, who finished 13th, by 11 points. After winning last week at Michigan, Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 23rd and slipped to third place in the standings.

Top 10 Most Memorable High School Games 2011-12 #10
#9
#10 – McNairy Central vs Adamsville (Boys’ Basketball Regular Season: Game 2 – Jan. 21, 2012) After a thrilling girls’ game, the rival Bobcat and Cardinal boys tangled in their second matchup of the season. The Cards, who had been struggling mightily, came to play against the Cats, who had defeated them by 22 points in their previous matchup. The gym was jam-packed as fans watched both teams trade turns holding the lead the entire game, but a Justin Sutton three-pointer, followed by a CJ Barnes tip-in in the final two minutes gave MCHS enough to edge their nemesis 53-49.
#8
#9 – McNairy Central vs Bolivar Central (Girls’ Basketball Regular Season – Feb. 7, 2012) The Lady Bobcats were cruising when they traveled to Bolivar for their last game before the district tournament began, winners of 23 of their previous 24 contests. The team overcame a six-point halftime deficit to outscore Bolivar 31-21 in the second half. Seniors Chelsea Bodiford and Kindra Brown combined for 35 points in MCHS’s 57-53 win over the second place Lady Tigers, locking down the District 14-AA regular season championship after finishing their district schedule unblemished at 14-0.
#6
#7
#8 – Adamsville vs McNairy Central (Girls’ Soccer Regular Season – Sept. 20, 2011) The Lady Cats and Cards played through regulation and overtime periods deadlocked 1-1, setting up a dramatic penalty kick shootout. The Lady Cats led 1-0 in the match, but Lady Cardinals netted an equalizer as time in regulation dwindled. Mullis, whose goal tied the game, scored the first penalty kick for AHS as goalkeeper Olivia Wright kept her net free of Lady Bobcat goals. On Adamsville’s fourth PK chance, sophomore Andrea Martin put the game out of reach and gave the Cards the win.
#5
#6 – McNairy Central vs Riverside (Baseball Regular Season – April 25, 2012) Helping to jump-start their run to the state tournament, Tyler Wells’ walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh gave McNairy Central a 5-4 victory over the now three-time defending Class A State Champion Riverside Panthers. The game was highlighted by big-time defensive plays in every inning, a terrific performance on the mound by Dakota Roden, who pitched for the complete-game win and struck out six while allowing just one earned run, and Riverside coach Dusty Rhodes losing his mind. Craig Mullins finished the game 3-for-4 with two RBIs.
#7 – Adamsville vs Madison (Girls’ Basketball Regular Season – Jan. 24, 2012) Keantinez Lloyd’s last-second, buzzer-beating layup trickled through the net as time expired, giving Madison their first loss to a Class A team. The loss at Adamsville ended up being Madison’s only blemish on their district record. Senior Nikki White came up with a steal with less than 10 seconds remaining and the score knotted at 44-44 and found Lloyd with a outlet pass that led to the game-winning shot. Lloyd finished the game with 14 points, and Brianne Knight led all Lady Card scorers with 15.
#4
#5 – Adamsville vs Sacred Heart (Tennis Region Championship: Congiardo/Nelson – May 14, 2012) In a grueling tennis match that lasted nearly three hours at Conger Park in Jackson, Tenn. during the Region 8 A-AA Individual Tournament, Lady Cardinal Darby Congiardo defeated Sacred Heart’s Alice Nelson in three sets (6-2, 3-6, 6-1), making her the first female Adamsville tennis player to advance to the state tournament in school history. The District 15 A-AA Female Tennis Player of the Year finished her season 17-2 in singles matches, and one of those loses was avenged when she defeated Nelson the second time around.
#3
#4 – Adamsville vs Hardin County (Football Regular Season – Oct. 7, 2011) The Cardinals entered the game having not beaten their cross-river rival in two decades, but that night was theirs. Adamsville led by 10 at halftime thanks to a touchdown reception by Drew Griswell and a field goal by Dustin Plunk. In the second half, the Tigers put the pressure on, but the Cardinal defense came up big with several big plays and key turnovers, making it the first season in school history that the football team defeated both HCHS and MCHS in the same season after their 17-14 win over the Tigers in Savannah.
#2
#3 – Adamsville vs Middleton (Girls’ Basketball Region 8-A Semifinals – Feb. 27, 2012) The Lady Cardinals rallied from down nine points in the fourth quarter at Trinity Christian Academy to defeat the Middleton Lady Tigers, who had beaten AHS twice in the regular season, by two points, 46-44, in the most exciting girls’ basketball game of the year, and they had to do it without the services of their leading scorer, Brianne Knight, who had fouled out early in the fourth. Macayla Kiddy, Keantinez Lloyd, Nikki White and Shakeema Dilworth picked up the slack for Adamsville as they worked through the adversity and earned the girls’ first Class A Sectionals berth since 1999.
#2 – Adamsville vs Cascade (Football State Playoffs Round 2 – Nov. 11, 2011) The game was a hard fought battle that went right down to the wire, but in the end, Dustin Plunk’s 22-yard field goal sealed the deal for the Cardinals, giving the team a 17-14 comeback victory and moved Adamsville on to the quarterfinals of the state playoffs where they defeated Riverside to advance to the semis. The Cards battled back from down 14 to get the win and were led offensively by Hayden Reece, who ran for 89 yards on six carries and scored AHS’s first touchdown. John Reed Odom led the team defensively with seven tackles, five pass deflections, and an interception.
#1
#1 – McNairy Central vs Fairley (Baseball Class AA Sectionals - May 18, 2012) In what was easily the gutsiest call of the school year, Matt Chandler’s successful suicide squeeze scored Justin Roberts in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Bobcats their first-ever state tournament berth with the 3-2 victory over the Bulldogs. Blake Chandler pitched a complete game and struck out 11, while Craig Mullins led the team offensively, going 2-for-3 with two RBIs.
Title IX

Lady Bobcats Tierra Lusk and Ashley Bruno have signed volleyball scholarships to play on the collegiate level. Delise Teague, Community Relations and Instructional Coordinator of McNairy County Schools, was also a key asset to the growth of girls’ sports at MCHS. She played basketball and was a member of the first volleyball and softball teams. Teague later became the head softball coach and assistant basketball coach. “We have come a long way in girls’ sports,” said Teague. “I’m pleased with the progress, but we still can make improvements.” Helping to gain a softball-basketball scholarship at Blue Mountain College, Teague credits the fact that she was able to play softball while at MCHS. In the past five years, soccer is on an upward trend in the county with par-
ticipation growing. Since then, Adamsville and McNairy Central have built strong soccer and softball programs. AHS has bowling for girls instead of volleyball. This year, the Lady Cardinals finished their bowling season at SubState in Memphis, but Amron Forsythe moved on to the state competition as an individual with the second highest average in the region. Forsythe finished the title run in the Top 20 of the state tournament and as the Region 7 CoBowler of the Year. She finished as the top Class A female bowler in the state. The increase in female sports interests has not increased athletic opportunities within the U.S. The difference is by 1.3 million in favor of the boys. While there are cultural barriers, less funding, and limited enthusiasts, the rise in participant numbers has begun to make a difference in equal rights since the founding of Title IX.
Jackson State breaks ground on softball field JACKSON, Tenn. – Members of the Jackson, Tenn., community gathered to celebrate at the Jackson State Community College Softball Field Groundbreaking Ceremony held on Friday, June 22, at 10 a.m. The new softball field will be aside the baseball field, allowing the Lady Generals to have practices and games on campus. “We have had a wonderful baseball and softball program for years and we are so excited to break ground on the softball field,” said Jackson State Community College President, Dr. Bruce Blanding. City Mayor, Jerry Gist, was in attendance to congratulate Jackson State on this milestone. “Jackson State Community College is a tremendous educational resource in this community,” said Gist. County Mayor Jimmy Harris, also attended the celebration stating, “I
appreciate what Jackson State has done for our community and appreciate your leadership.” JSCC faculty member, Emily Bates Fortner addressed the crowd commenting on how happy she was about the groundbreaking. Fortner was a dedicated advocate for the establishment of the softball field. Others in attendance included: Senator Lowe Finney, The Jackson Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors, Coach Jim Swope who started the softball program at JSCC in 1994 under the leadership of Athletic Director Coach Jack Martin who also attended the event, and various members of the Jackson State community.

as an Assistant and Freshman Head Basketball Coach. He served as the Men’s Basketball Coach at Jackson State Community College (196870); Assistant Basketball Coach at UT-Martin (1970-1975); Men’s Basketball Coach at Union University (1975-1987); Men’s and Women’s Basketball Coach at Jackson State Community College (1987-1994). Coach Swope was also instrumental in starting softball at Jackson State, serving as the Head Coach from 1995 through the end of the 1997 season. He served as the Director of Athletics and Chairman of the Education and Physical Education Department from 1997 to 2002. Lady Generals’ Head Coach, Michael Winders, thanked everyone in attendance and expressed what a tremendous asset the new field will be not only to the Lady Generals, but the entire campus community.

Hunting and gathering in the modern age By Amber Hamm Columnist

The search for the optimal human diet has been going on for centuries, and for the most part, especially in the last couple decades, confusion has been the only result. There is so much conflicting information available on the subject, and it seems like every week there is a new best-selling book claiming to have all the answers to weight loss, fitness, heart health and more. We are constantly told that if we drink this shake, or eat that cereal, we will look and feel better. But clearly, something is not working. Among pervasive mainstream advice such as eating fewer calories, exercising more, limiting fat intake, and eating more whole grains, is a growing group of individuals who have something entirely different to say. These people are the leaders of a movement that boldly contradicts what the established experts have to say on the subject of nutrition. Instead of a new fad diet, they are promoting something much older—about 20,000 years older in fact. Some call it a paleolithic diet, or paleo for short. Some call it the “caveman diet,” or the huntergatherer diet, or the primal diet, but each premise is basically the same. They all claim that the best fuel for the human body predates the advent of agriculture and that by mimicking what our huntergatherer ancestors ate and how they moved, we can achieve optimal levels of health and fitness. While this concept is not new, it has recently grown in notoriety due, in part, to an outcropping of popular websites, blogs, and a fitness sensation called CrossFit. I stumbled upon the paleo diet about a year ago while browsing recipes online, and I was amazed by the wealth of information available on the subject. I immediately began looking for ways to implement some of its principles into my life and was surprised to find that it was easier than any other “diet” I had ever tried. I began to eagerly seek out more information, which was not difficult to find. Many books have been written on the subject. A few of the most notable are The Paleo Diet, by Loren Cordain, The Primal Blueprint, by Mark Sisson, and The Paleo Solution, by Robb Wolf. There is significant variation among opinions within the hunter-gatherer community, much like denominations within a religion, but common threads in-

Beware of heat injuries By Christen Coulon Editor
According to the Centers for Disease Control exposure to heat kills hundreds of people each year and injures thousands more. In the United States, from 19992003, a total of 3,442 deaths resulting from exposure to extreme heat were reported at an average of 688 per year. People who are exposed to extreme heat or exert themselves in hot environments may be at risk of heat stress. Exposure to extreme heat can result in illness and injury. Heat stress can result in heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes. Those at risk of heat stress include athletes, outdoor workers and workers in hot environments such as firefighters, bakery workers, farmers, construction workers, miners, boiler room workers, factory workers, and others. Those at greater risk of heat stress include individuals who are 65 years of age or older, are overweight, have heart disease or high blood pressure, or take medications that may be affected by extreme heat. Prevention of heat stress is important. Understanding what heat stress is, how it affects health and safety, and how it can be prevented is very important. There are several types of heat illness. Listed below are the types of heat stress, prevention measures and treatment options for each type of heat injuries. For more information on the prevention of heat related illness visit cdc.gov. Heat Stroke Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related disorder. It occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature: the body’s temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down. When heat stroke occurs, the body temperature can rise to 106 degrees Fahrenheit or higher within 10 to 15 minutes. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not given. Symptoms of heat stroke include: hot dry skin or profuse sweating, hallucinations, chills, throbbing headache, high body temperature, confusion/dizziness, and slurred speech.
Heat Exhaustion Heat exhaustion is the body’s response to an excessive loss of the water and salt, usually through excessive sweating. Those most prone to heat exhaustion are those that are elderly, have high blood pressure, and those working in a hot environment. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include: heavy sweating, extreme weakness or fatigue, dizziness, confusion, nausea, clammy, moist skin, pale or flushed complexion, muscle cramps, slightly elevated body temperature, fast and shallow breathing. First Aid Treat an individual suffering from heat exhaustion with the following: have them rest in a cool, shaded or air-conditioned area, have them drink plenty of water or other cool, nonalcoholic beverages, have them take a cool shower, bath, or sponge bath. Heat Syncope Heat syncope is a fainting (syncope) episode or dizziness that usually occurs with prolonged standing or sudden rising from a sitting or lying position. Factors that may contribute to heat syncope include dehydration and lack of acclimatization. Symptoms of heat syncope include: Light-headedness, dizziness, fainting, First Aid Those with heat syncope should: Sit or lie down in a cool place when they begin to feel symptoms. Slowly drink water, clear juice, or a sports beverage. Heat Cramps Heat cramps usually affect those who sweat a lot during strenuous activity. This sweating depletes the body’s salt and moisture levels. Low salt levels in muscles causes painful cramps. Heat cramps may also be a symptom of heat exhaustion. Symptoms include muscle pain or spasms usually in the abdomen, arms, or legs.
First Aid Those with heat cramps should: Stop all activity, and sit in a cool place. Drink clear juice or a sports beverage. Do not return to strenuous work for a few hours after the cramps subside because further exertion may lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Seek medical attention if any of the following apply: The individual has heart problems, or is on a low-sodium diet; the cramps do not subside within one hour. Heat Rash Heat rash is a skin irritation caused by excessive sweating during hot, humid weather. Symptoms of heat rash include: a red cluster of pimples or small blisters. It is more likely to occur on the neck and upper chest, in the groin, under the breasts, and in elbow creases. First Aid Those experiencing heat rash should: Try to work in a cooler, less humid environment when possible, and keep the affected area dry; dusting powder may be used to increase comfort. Steps to avoid heat injury
• Schedule intense labor for cooler months (if possible) or cooler parts of the day. • Acclimatize yourself exposure to progressively longer periods to hot work environments. • Reduce your physical demands on hot days. • Drink plenty of cool water or other non-alcoholic fluids. Drink enough water that you never become thirsty. Approximately 1 cup every 1520 minutes. • Avoid alcohol and drinks with large amounts of caffeine or sugar. • Take rest periods with water breaks. • Go to a cool area for during break periods. • Use extra caution if you have experienced a previous heat injury. • Wear light-colored, loose-fitting, breathable clothing such as cotton. • Avoid non-breathing synthetic clothing. • Be aware that protective clothing or personal protective equipment may increase the risk of heat stress. • Monitor your physical condition.

4-H state competition By Ricky R. Mathenia UT Ag. Extension Agent III
For the second year in a row, the McNairy County 4-H Wildlife Team placed second at the 2012 State 4-H Wildlife Championship held Thursday, June 14, at McCord Farms located in Blount County, Tennessee. McNairy County 4-H’ers Bryce Moore, Rachel Mullins, Dylan Riggs, Preston Shackelford and Paige Wiles made a strong showing at this year’s contest, scoring just six points behind the state champion team from Putnam County. At the State 4-H Wildlife Championship, the top twelve
teams from across the state are invited to compete after their regional competitions. Each 4-H’er attempts to identify wildlife species from samples such as furs, skulls, feathers and mounts. 4-H’ers are then tested on their knowledge of wildlife management practices, concepts and animal facts. Each team member is also asked to prescribe wildlife management practices to improve habitat for wildlife species located on a particular property. After the individual events, each team is asked to write a wildlife management plan for another location with several wildlife species involved. Each
individual on the team must then orally defend the team’s plan to a panel of experts and receive a score for their presentation. The McNairy County 4-H Wildlife Team was pleased with their performance at the competition, but after finishing second two years in a row feel there is some unfinished business to get done and are determined to work harder to come back next year and contend for the state title. The 4-H program, like all programs offered by UT Extension, is open to everyone on an equal opportunity basis.

Department of Safety and Homeland Security uses iPad technology for faster driver license renewals NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security is using Apple iPad technology in its state driver service centers to help improve wait times for customers who need to renew or replace driver licenses. The department has installed 72 iPad kiosks, called ASSETS (automatic self-service electronic terminals), inside 26 driver service centers across Tennessee, primarily located in the state’s urban areas. Customers who visit specified driver service centers to simply renew or replace a lost driver license may use a special application installed on the iPads to quickly complete and pay for the transaction using a credit or debit card. The customer should get the new driver license within minutes of the transaction. Other services available on the iPad ASSETS include the ability to change addresses on existing driver licenses and process reinstatement payments. (Applicants for reinstatement must still submit the required documents to be eligible for this service.) In the near future, customers will be able to use the iPads to schedule road test appointments. “Reducing the wait time at driver service centers is one of our top priorities. These self-service iPad stations will cut down

The department also encourages citizens to renew driver licenses online at www.tn.gov. Several other driver services are available on this site, 24-hours day, including address change and duplicate license requests. The iPad ASSETS cost $79,200 and were purchased to replace existing equipment that reached the end of its service life.

Additionally, the wireless capability makes the iPads accessible from any location inside the driver service center. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security’s (www.TN.Gov/safety) mission is to ensure the safety and general welfare of the public. The department encompasses the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Office of Homeland Security and Driver License Services. General areas of responsibility include law enforcement, safety education, motorist services and terrorism prevention.
