Assault or crying over spilled milk By Christen Coulon
TENNESSEE RIVER RUN
Trey 731-610-6687
Paul Pavao, Rose Creek Village resident, father and leukemia sufferer can add a new title to his name...accused criminal. Following an incident at his home on Aug. 8, Pavao was arrested for assault and resisting arrest. But is it a crime or a case of crying over spilled milk? The incident took place at Pavao’s home on Lola Whitten Road at about 11 p.m. when McNairy County Sheriff’s Deputies Kevin Thompson and Johnny Deloit arrived to serve a warrant on Pavao’s son Caleb for failure to appear on a shoplifting conviction. At that time, Caleb’s conviction was on appeal, and therefore Caleb and Paul disputed the warrant (Caleb’s was since adjudicated on Aug. 24) for failure to appear. However, the deputies reviewed the warrant and determined that it was valid. According to Pavao the warrant should have never have been issued, and the courts were notified of the mistake a week prior to
deputies showing up at his home when a probation officer called to inquire about Caleb’s case. Pavao relayed the information about the appeal to the probation officer and the officer verified the appeal and apologized. Pavao thought that was the last they would hear of the case until the appeal date, but Pavao said that on the night of the incident, “a deputy called saying he needed my son to sign some papers. Caleb told them he was home, and they showed up just after 11:00 at night. “The papers turned out to be a warrant for his arrest for failure to appear. Apparently, no one updated the sheriff department’s computer with the appeal, so they just issued a warrant. No one double checked it. This is a clerical error. His case is on appeal, and he wasn’t supposed to show up for jail.” Pavao said he pleaded with the deputies that it had been six weeks since he was supposed to appear, and said that the sheriff’s department had spoken with Caleb on the
phone the week prior and that day via telephone. “Couldn’t you have called him on the phone during the day when we could have checked computers, called our lawyer, or something, rather than showing up in the middle of the night to arrest him?” According to the official incident report written by Thompson, “Officers did accompany (Caleb) into the home for him to speak to his father Mr. Paul Pavao. At that time, Mr. Paul Pavao spoke to deputies about the situation becoming hostile towards officers. Deputies did check the warrant status through McNairy County E911 and were informed that it was still active. At that time this officer (Thompson) and Deputy Deloit did begin to escort Caleb from the kitchen to the patrol car outside.”

Rain clouds were overhead, but Main Street was still jiving with music, fun, food, and contests as The Adamsville Partnership hosted the 2012 Adamsville Main Street Music Festival. “It was a great day,” said Toni Watson, President for the Adamsville Partnership. “We only had to break for rain from about noon to one o’clock, so we were very fortunate.” Moments before the rain came pouring from the sky, officers blocked the street as Cardinal Football kicker Dustin Plunk won the Fastest Man in Adamsville race and five women slipped on their pumps to compete in the High Heel Race sponsored by Farmers and Merchants Bank. Bands, Dead Horse and 240 Loop, performed rock and pop rock music for the crowd. LA (Larry Atkins) Production provided sound for the event and several other local business participants and vendors provided food, drinks, entertainment, and gifts. “Adamsville Healthcare and

Darryl Worley’s 11th annual Tennessee Bethel wreck slightly injures one River Run rolls into Savannah Sept. 15 By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
Darryl Worley, David Lee Murphy, John Anderson, Badfinger, Black Oak Arkansas and special guest Zoe Z will be headlining the 11th annual Tennessee River Run, presented by Bumpus-Harley Davidson, in Savannah on Sept. 15. The winner of the 2012 Battle of the Bands will open the concert at 3 p.m. Gates open at 2 p.m. This downtown concert is the finale of three days of events. TRR benefits the Darryl Worley Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) organization, which supports various organizations, such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center and the Darryl Worley Cancer Treatment Center. “I think it speaks volumes about the people involved in Tennessee River Run that this event has made it past the 10-year mark and we’re still going strong,” Worley said. The Cowboy Boots, Cocktail Dresses and Country Music Songwriters in the Round will be held Sept. 13, on the lawn of the historic home of Savannah Mayor, Bob Shutt and his wife. Dinner will be at 6:30 p.m., with music beginning at 7:00 p.m. Sponsorship tables for 10 people are available for $5,000, $2,500 and $1,500. Individual tickets are $100 per person. This event is the fourth and final in the 2012 series of Darryl Worley and Friends Songwriters’ Events, which have been sponsored by Bumpus Harley-Davidson in Collierville, Murfreesboro and Jackson. To date, the songwriters’ events have raised more than $113,000 for the foundation. The TRR Golf Tournament will be Sept.14, at Shiloh Golf Course in Adamsville, and the Battle of the Bands finale will be that night at 8:00 p.m. at Freddy T’s in Pickwick. The bass tournament will begin on Sept. 15, and conclude on Sept. 16. Saturday also will bring a 5K run, a motorcycle poker run, a youth fishing tournament and an arts and crafts fair. Worley has had nearly 20 hit singles, including three No. 1 hits, chart-topping albums and sales in the millions. Worley has been a mainstay of modern country over the past decade with such chart-topping singles such as “I Miss My Friend,” “Have You Forgotten?” and “Awful, Beautiful Life.” His new album is entitled One Time Around, and the first single is “You Still Got it.” “I consciously made a decision that I wanted this record to have the same kind of substance as my very first record. That album was pretty straightforward country, and it had some really great songwriters’ songs — well crafted and clever but with substance. I also wanted something uplifting and fun that sounded different and had great grooves,” Worley said about the album.
Murphy’s “Dust On The Bottle” and “Party Crowd” have become staples at country radio. “Party Crowd” was the most played song on country radio in 1995, and “Dust on the Bottle” spent two weeks at No. 1. Both songs were on Murphy’s debut MCA album, Out With A Bang, which went platinum and became the best-selling debut album by a male country artist in 1995. That same year The Academy of Country Music nominated Murphy for Top New Male Vocalist. Murphy quickly became one of Nashville’s most in-demand songwriters, whose compositions have been recorded by many of today’s country music superstars. Kenny Chesney’s “Living In Fast Forward” and “Live A Little,” as well as Jason Aldean’s “Big Green Tractor” all landed at the top of the charts. Anderson is best-known for such songs as “Wild and Blue,” “I’m Just An Old Chunk Of Coal,” “1959,” “I Just Came Home To Count The Memories,” “Black Sheep” and “Swingin.” “Swingin” was not only the Country Music Association’s 1983 Song of the year; more recently it was cited by the Amusement and Music Operators Association as one of its all-time top-forty jukebox hits — right up there with “Hey Jude” and other perennial favorites by The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline, George Jones and The Rolling Stones. Badfinger is best known for “No Matter What,” “Day After Day” and “Baby Blue.” One of their songs, “Without You” was also a hit for Harry Nilsson in 1972 and for Mariah Carey in 1994. Under the direction of founding member Joey Molland, Badfinger now incorporates the talents of long-time bassist Mark Healey, former Foghat lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Billy Davis, guitarist/vocalist Tommy Keene, drummer John Richardson and Chicago-based session musician Steve Wozny on keyboard. Black Oak Arkansas produced their first album in 1971. They preceded and influenced such Southern rock bands as Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special and Molly Hatchet. Black Oak has three gold albums and their TV appearances have included Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, Midnight Special and ABCs In Concert. Their signature song is “Jim Dandy to the Rescue.” They maintain a busy tour schedule at bike rallies, music fairs and festivals around the country. Tickets are $30 until the day of the show and $35 at the gate. They are available at the Darryl Worley Foundation Office at 325 Main St. in Downtown Savannah, Hardin County Convention and Visitors Bureau and all banks in Hardin County. Individuals also can go to www.tnriverrun.org or call (866) 4843877 to pay by credit card. Admission for middle and high school students is $20, children ages 7-12 is $15, and children 6 and younger enter free with a paying adult. Gold Circle Seating is $100 and is available in advance only.

A two-car crash on Highway 45 last Wednesday led to minor injuries for one driver. Vincent Hopson, 60, of Savannah, who was driving a white 1992 Chevrolet Silverado pickup, was crossing Highway 45 at Buena Vista Road, when he collided with a white 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer driven by Carrie Mitchell, 33, of Bethel Springs, who was traveling southbound on Highway 45, according to an electronic traffic crash report provided by the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Hopson, appeared to have only minor injuries, but was transported by ambulance to McNairy Regional Hospital for X-rays. “It was lucky that no one was seriously hurt. It could have been a lot worse,” said Trooper Andrew Naylor, who investigated the accident.

Adamsville eyes riding facility Fire damages Bethel Springs home By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer
The Adamsville City Commission heard a proposal to build an indoor riding facility in the city from Chris Plunk at its Aug. 21 meeting. “I’ve actually got people that kind of committed, that will commit to this and it will bring revenue into the town. It will please everybody and will help the school system,” Plunk said. Plunk said that the facility would also include stalls and recreational vehicle hookups. “The reason these people want to be here is it is a central location for their equine customers,” Plunk told the meeting. Plunk said that the city would make money by renting people participating in these events stalls and RV hookups. Promoters would actually run the events. “The promoter takes care of the insurance policy. The promoter takes care of all of the money,” Plunk explained. An average show brings in $15,000-$20,000 in one weekend, not including the money they spend in town, Plunk said. This would add up to over $250,000 in a year. The closest facility of this type is in Memphis, Plunk said. There are also ones at Starkville, Miss. and Murfreesboro, Tenn. They book nearly every weekend all year long. “I’ve got seven promoters I could put on the speakerphone, that if they could find a place to go, they could be obligated for the next year,” Plunk said. “This is a family-oriented deal,” he added. An average family of three or four coming to one of these events will spend around $100, Plunk said. All of the participating families together will average spending $30,000-$40,000 in a weekend at one of these events.
The city would have to spend the money to build the facility, Plunk said. “Do you want something in the town that people come to town to see and do or do you want to just keep letting them drive through?” Plunk asked. Plunk said a facility of this type would help the schools by allowing school organizations to run the concessions. “Everybody knows concessions makes money,” Plunk said. Prisoners will clean the stalls, he said. “I’ll promote it because I know all these people and I can be on the phone in just a few minutes,” Plunk pledged. Promoters will book a facility like the one being proposed eight months in advance and put down a deposit. If they do not cancel within a certain time limit, they will lose their deposit, Plunk said. “It’s not a little thing. These people spend big money,” Plunk said. Students from Tennessee Technological Center at Crump provided the drawings for the facility, Plunk said. “It will take you about $700,000 to start,” Plunk estimated. Plunk said the facility would need to be located with easy access to roads, since participants will be turning in with 40- or 50-foot trailers. “You want it where everybody can see it,” Plunk said. “I think it’s a really positive project,” said Mayor David Leckner. Leckner said he would like to get an exploratory committee together to work on this proposal, particularly to see if grants were available to fund it. This committee will come back to the commission with options at a later date.

A fire on Sanders Street last Tuesday resulted in mostly smoke and water damage, though there was some fire damage to the kitchen, according to Bethel Springs Volunteer Fire Chief David McCullar. In addition to the Bethel Springs fire department, the Selmer Fire Department and the Beauty Hill Volunteer Fire Department also responded to the fire. McCullar said he was not 100 percent sure what caused the fire, but it may have been accidental and may have started in the kitchen, possibly from the stove. “I appreciate the help of the other departments,” McCullar said.

Want to help a hungry neighbor? It’s as easy as 1, 2 or 3. (Submitted) -- During AARP Days of Service commemorating the 9-11 tragedy and in honor of national Hunger Action Month this September, AARP Tennessee invites you to join the fight against hunger in our state, where at least one in five people has trouble putting enough food on the table everyday. “A large number of our hungry neighbors are older (people) and many are children. That’s not acceptable. With a little help from all of us, we can ensure that no one in our state goes hungry,” said Tennessee AARP State Director Rebecca Kelly. Here are three suggestions: 1) Give money. Walgreens stores across Tennessee will be collecting $1 donations at the cash register from Sunday, Sept. 9, through Saturday, Sept. 15. All proceeds will go to one of five Feeding America food banks that serve pantries across the state. A food bank can turn every $1 into 4 or more meals. 2) Give food. Stop by your local food pantry or food bank with unexpired staples like cereal, canned fruit and vegetables, canned tuna fish and meat, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti sauce and pasta. 3) Give time. Volunteer at a local pantry or food bank. Or visit www.CreateTheGood.org to find helpful ideas and toolkits on a variety of projects, including step-by-step guides to organize a food drive or enroll a loved one in SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program formerly known as food stamps). “AARP volunteers throughout Tennessee will be serving at local food banks, collecting donations at neighborhood Walgreens stores and educating friends and neighbors about help that is available to feed their families. We invite you to join them,” Kelly said. “We at Walgreens are committed to the health and wellness of our community. In order to win the fight against food insecurity across Tennessee, we must work together for the common good,” said Connie Latta, Walgreens Market Vice President. “We are proud to partner with AARP and Feeding America in the ongoing fight against hunger in Tennessee. We’re confident that the volunteer spirit for which Tennessee is famous will come through to benefit those within our state who are most in need.” If you help fight hunger during September, tell AARP Tennessee and we will give you a gift. The first 500 people to call (877) 926-8300 and share their stories will get a FREE reusable grocery bag. The deadline to call is Sept. 28, 2012.

wave, coffee machine, and other gadgets. Realizing it was going to make a terrible mess, at the last second I steered the bowl towards the refrigerator instead. “I got the refrigerator, which is only about 5 feet from the front door, and a little milk splashed on the deputy I’d been arguing with. He claims the bowl hit him, too, but I don’t know how that’s possible unless it bounced off the refrigerator.” Following this incident, both Caleb and Paul Pavao were under arrest and both were brought to the McNairy County Jail. Paul Pavao has apologized for his part in this dispute, but he is claiming that his fourth amendment rights and those of his son were violated because his son’s warrant never should have been issued, and because of that, the officers never should have been in his kitchen.

The details of what happened next are unclear. Both Pavao and the Deputies have differing versions of what transpired. Thompson stated in his incident report that Paul Pavao then struck a bowl of cereal which was sitting on the counter. He said the bowl struck him in the head spilling its contents down the right side of his body. According to Paul Pavao, the bowl did not strike the officer and just a few drops of milk got on the officers uniform. “Caleb had just made himself a bowl of cereal, and it was on the kitchen counter, which is about 10 feet from the front door,” Pavao said. “In fury, I swept the bowl of cereal off the counter towards our micro-

In defense of his deputies, Sheriff Guy Buck said that his officers acted accordingly in that situation. Buck said that his department had not been notified the the warrant had been canceled, and in fact the warrant itself was valid when his officers served it. “We executed a legal warrant from the court,” Buck said. “That was a true warrant at the time it was executed...When we are given a warrant from the court we will execute it.” Buck said that it would be up to the court clerk’s office to notify sheriff’s department in cases of an appeal. Calls placed to Ronnie Brooks, the court clerk at the time of the appeal, were not returned as of press time. Pavao is scheduled to appear in court on these charges Oct. 25.

Eighty-four-year-old Rachel Kirk shows off part of this year’s crop of Yardlong beans, some of which measured up to 26 inches long. According to Kirk, they are prepared like any other bean, and the taste is similar to a green bean. Kirk said that she has been gardening for most of her life, and she has had some crops of Yardlong beans yield 35-inchers. The stunted growth of this year’s crop, if you can call it stunted, is due in part to the drought and birds taking advantage of any easy meal that happens to resemble a worm or snake. In fact, Yardlong beans are also known as snake beans. To those that have never seen a yard long bean in person, they are quite an impressive produce...and don’t worry, they won’t bite back.

McNAIRY VOICES
By Christen Coulon Editor
After a steady price decline beginning in April, gas prices briefly fell below $3.00/gal. at the end of June, with at least two Selmer stations, Citgo and Raceway, registering $2.99 or less. However, with more drivers traveling during the summer months, and a bump in oil prices on the world market, gas prices crept their way back up throughout July and August, increasing by about $.40 per gallon. A recent price spike, mainly due to speculation in the market over the approach of Hurricane Isaac, sent local prices soaring an additional $0.26 per gallon over a fiveday period from Aug. 26-30. Americans at the pump did seem to dodge a metaphorical bullet with Isaac as limited damage to our Gulf of Mexico oil fields prevented the $1.50 plus per gallon jump in prices we experienced with Hurricane Katrina. Gas station owners often take the brunt of the public’s frustration over price hikes, but what many people do COULON not realize is they have less control over the price than consumers themselves. The price of gas at the pump is determined by basic supply and demand on a global scale. These prices are exacerbated by the futures market where people basically place bets on the volume of oil that will be drilled during a certain period of time, how much of that oil can be delivered, and the ability of those receiving the oil to purchase and consume it at a certain price. Anything from a bombing at an African oil field, instability in a puppet regime in the Middle East, or turbulence in the European financial markets can make these futures rise and fall. And where local gas station owners are prohibited from taking advantage of consumers in a time of need through price gouging laws, no such laws exist prohibiting price gouging in futures trading. The most recent slide this spring was largely attributed to the weakness of the European markets and fears on the futures market that a loan default by Eurozone member, Greece, would lead to a European economic collapse and a decline in the amount of oil consumed by Europe. Since those fears were temporarily abated, world oil prices began to creep back up, and while there is nothing those of us in Tennessee can do to determine whether Greece will be spending Drachmas or Euros next year, we have little power to control prices on that front. Short of Nixon-style price freezes, which reduce prices at the pump while also reducing availability, there is really nothing we can do about world oil prices...Or is there? We really have very little power to control the supply side of this equation, but we each have a small amount of power to control the demand side. Our nation consumes nearly 20 million barrels of oil per day while only producing 5 million. Our population of 330 million consumes twice as much oil as China’s 1.6 billion. The solution to the problem of higher gas prices could lie here at home. If Americans consumed less gas, then gas prices would go down. The increased availability and usage of public transportation, the production and purchase of more fuel efficient vehicles, and a turn toward more locally produced items in our shopping trips would force prices at the pump down, but these ideas are viewed by many as near blasphemy against our national identity as Americans. The real problem is that we won’t do the very things that will break our dependence on foreign oil. Public transportation is viewed largely as an expensive boondoggle, Americans consistently pass up fuel efficient cars for larger vehicles with larger engines, and our Walmart lifestyle prevents the idea of a resurgence in locally produced items from taking a foothold in most regions. The lure of the open road and the desire to be able to drive the biggest, fastest vehicle, off road while hauling a ton of bricks is too great. Even for those whose only need is to haul groceries and those who are appalled by thought of dirtying their SUV by hauling bricks or driving off road, the need to impress the Jones’ with size and power compels them to buy vehicles too big for their needs. Despite the advances, such as hybrid and electric technology which have allowed for the production of more fuel efficient vehicles in the last decade, consumers have decided to direct that efficiency into more power behind the pedal instead of more money at the pump. According to the Department of Transportation the fuel efficiency of vehicles in America went up a meager 3 percent from an average of 16.9 mpg in 1995 to 17.2 mpg in 2006. Whatever we do, rest assured, the days of $5, $10, and $15 per gallon gas are coming, and sooner than you think. America stands to lose the most as prices rise. As a nation, we will either be ready for this change, or we will stand by and watch as those who prepared for the future pass us by.

“I really don’t know why we should have. To me, it’s a waste of money. I don’t know what it’s supposed to do for us.”
“I guess, because they could learn a lot there.”
“Sure, I believe we should have gone to the Moon. It was at least worth the effort that we spent.”
“Yes, I think we should have gone to the Moon. I’m really proud of the technology that we gained with going to the Moon. It was expensive but it was an exciting time in our history.”
“Absolutely because we should always keep striving for better and more.”
“Yes, we probably should have. There’s so many technological things that we found just pushing to get there that probably made it worth it.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I am writing about the food stamp fraud, the disability swindle, the free school lunch scam, the housing assistance and the utility assistance and all the other welfare programs that honest, hardworking people are being forced to pay for. Go to the grocery stores and watch these deceivers buy more and better things than we can purchase for ourselves. See the swindlers leave in nice vehicles. Witness the kids with cell phones and the latest electronic devices and games that we can’t buy for our own kids. There is one program that if you receive welfare you can get a free cell phone. Who pays for that? Some of them don’t want to get job and try to do better themselves; instead, their efforts are spent on bleeding the system for all they can get. In fact, they have caused a hemorrhage. The stores are against controlling it because it is business for them. They don’t care where the money comes from as long as it is there to spend. A large percentage of their business comes from these food stamps. The grocery stores can put high prices on their products because the welfare users don’t care how much it costs; they aren’t the ones paying anyhow. The food stamp splurgers can pay $7 for a watermelon and $35 for a brisket, can you? In one case, there is a woman that took her food stamp card and PIN code into a furniture store and traded it for her TV payments. I went to the grocery and was in line behind a family with four full baskets of groceries. The checkout amount was over $800 and was paid for with (you guessed it) a food stamp card. Every one of them looked to be fit to work. They may not get a job as a banker or a stockbroker, but they could do something that could help offset some of the expenses. However, they won’t. They are too sorry. We have raised kids and grandchildren and we have never gone to the store and spent that amount at one time, and I’ll bet that you haven’t either. I have heard of these callous cheaters buying franks for their dogs because of the freebie card won’t pay for pet food. I saw t-bone steaks purchased for a cookout, along with beer that the partyers paid for themselves. I saw two women spend $200 for boots and shoes, pay from a roll of big bills and then use our money to pay for their groceries. One man standing in line said to a woman, “I wish I could spend my money like you spend my money, but I can’t afford it.” I have been told many stories like these and so have you. And, our elected officials have heard them and still they make no attempt to change it. Some individuals need some help but not s much as to enable them to live a better and more comfortable life than those who are working and paying. Give them the essentials like food to keep them hunger-free and healthy (commodities), feed the kids at school, distribute the food from churches, and stop all other aid. Let them move in and live with whoever raised them to be this sort of individual. I didn’t. But it is more than the food stamp ripoff. It is disability scams also. Each of us knows someone who is receiving benefits and continues to work an-
other job on a tax dodging cash basis. Some should receive the Academy Award for their performances of being injured or ill. I’m tired of living from payday to payday and see others sit on their rears and do nothing. I’m tired of going to the store and having to keep a running total of the items in my basket to be sure that I will have enough money to pay at check out. I am tired of going to work every day while others loaf in a house that I provide, lie around in air conditioning that I pay for, and gobble food that I bought. Someone brought another matter to my attention that is very irritating. These freeloaders are using welfare benefits for groceries yet they spend their money for lottery tickets. When they win, they should be forced into giving it back to the state. We need to drug test welfare recipients and they should not be permitted to vote while they are receiving benefits. After all, aren’t they going to vote for the candidate that will continue to provide for them? Doesn’t anybody understand, we don’t have the money? This entitlement society is out of control and must be changed. We must call all of our congressional representatives and demand that something gets done. The phone numbers are listed in this paper every week. However, most likely, nothing will be done because the lobbyists won’t like it and it may cost votes. Our state and federal politicians put this burden on us; let’s put some of them out to pasture next election. Acquiring something fraudulently is the same as outright stealing and breaks the eight commandment, acquiring something because of laziness is one of the seven deadly sins. The other six are gluttony, greed, lust, anger, envy and pride. How many of these traits fit these fraudsters? Ralph Gage, Selmer

Fair time at McNairy County Health Care Center Contributor
If I say the word “fall”, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Fall is my favorite season. What is yours? I love the cool days and the cooler nights, soup, harvest time, fall colors, football and the holidays. Thanksgiving is in the fall, trick-or-treating – so many things I love. As a child, Fall also meant fair time. Did you ever go to the fair? I loved the rides, shows, games, and my favorite fair food. I love corn dogs, popcorn, candy apples and fiddle sticks. What was your favorite? This week we had the Fair at McNairy County Health Care Center. Our Activity Department works to give all of our residents and skill patients the things they love to do or a past memory that was special to them. Friday afternoon there was a lot of excitement in the house because it was fair time. We had games, ice cream, popcorn, cokes, a clown, and a lot of fun. My office is close to the dining room and the laughing was sweet to hear. The residents and skill patients were in the hall waiting for the opening. They laughed, ate, played games and had a great time.

We have not had a football game or a hayride since I have been here. Maybe that is something we can work on. We have had a day of cotton picking – do you remember that? The best part of this for me was riding on the wagon or getting a sack about half full and lying down to look at the sky, dreaming out my life. Did things go as I planned? Well, not all of them. I am blessed beyond measure because I work in a home of some great people. This week we did see the end of something very special to me. Dennis Bearden’s last day was Friday, so for most of the staff and me, it was a bittersweet day. Dennis, you are the very best and I appreciate you more than words can say. Staff and residents depended on Dennis for so many things. So, Michael, you have big shoes to fill. Good luck Dennis, and Ms. Sue, thank you for sharing him with us. I wish you well in your new position and hope these people realize how very lucky they are to have you. Today, remember all of the good memories about your time picking cotton or your favorite fall memory. Share that memory with someone and remember fall is on the way. Until next time.

Bobcats fall short against Crusaders By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer
The Bobcats played well against the Crusaders but failed to come out on top.
Liberty 34 McNairy Central 14
Although the score may not show it, the Bobcats played a much better game than indicated. The Bobcat defense played with a chip on their shoulder, holding Liberty scoreless until the final minute of the first half. The Bobcats were following the game plan that Coach Charlie Dampeer set for them. The defense kept the game close, and the offense did their best to run the football and get points on the board. The McNairy offense took a while to get going. Penalties were the toughest opponent the Bobcats’ offense faced in the first half. One of which took away a punt return for a touchdown by Jerrett Mood. Mood led the Bobcat offense with 169 yards on the ground. The Bobcat running back also put the first points on the board for McNairy when he fought his way into the end zone late in the fourth quarter. The Bobcats second score came from junior, Elijah Sanders. It was Sanders’ only carry in the game. Sanders made his presence known on the defensive side of the ball, leading Staff Photo by Brian Azevedo the Bobcats with 10 total tackles. The Revosea’ Richardson breaks a tackle running up the middle. He finished the game against Liberty with 39 rushing yards Bobcats’ ‘D’ did their job exceptionally well in the first half, even though they on eight carries.
were put in a few tough positions. Revosea Richardson, at his middle linebacker position, kept his defense in the right position and helped out with 5 assisted tackles. However, in the second half, the big play was the defense’s worst nightmare. The Liberty offense found the end zone three times on plays that totaled more than 50 yards. Although the Bobcats played well and left everything out on the field, it was not enough, but the team is not taking the loss lying down. The Bobcats face their in county rival next week when the Adamsville Cardinals roll their winning streak into Selmer. The Bobcats will be ready and look to hold Adamsville’s powerful offense out of the end zone.

Cardinals take to air, pick up big Bethel survives Selmer district win over rival Riverside By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
The combination of a bend-butdon’t-break defense and a balanced airattack aided in Adamsville’s 22-point victory over their biggest district rival, Riverside, last Friday at Lendon Martin Memorial Stadium.
Adamsville Riverside
35 13
Dalton Plunk threw four touchdown strikes against the Panthers, leading the way for the Cardinals while completing 13 passes to six different receivers for more than 200 yards of offense. “I just told him to relax, go out, have a good time, and have fun,” Cardinal head coach Brandon Gray said about his advice to the senior quarterback before last Friday’s game. Even though Adamsville got off to another slow start, Plunk would have his fun. The offense was efficient in the first half but only yielded one scoring drive. The defense was there to pick up the slack, holding the Panthers to one score in the first while forcing two turnovers. “We’re a team. If something bad happens, that’s why we have a defense,” Gray said about the team’s firsthalf offensive struggles. “We take care of each other. It’s kinda like having a big brother. If the defense isn’t playing good, the offense needs to be the
big brother. If the offense isn’t playing good the defense needs to be the big brother.” The second half began deadlocked 7-7, but the Cardinal defense continued to produce. Ross Burcham intercepted a pass on Riverside’s opening drive, giving Adamsville possession on their own 28-yard-line. The offense, ready to take the pressure off “big brother,” went to work and scored 28 unanswered points. “I think other teams wear down and we’re still fresh,” Gray said of his team’s ability to consistently outperform the competition late in the second half. “Our guys are tired too. They play hard, but we pride ourselves in our offseason on winning the second half. I guess they take it to heart.” On the drive following the Burcham interception, AHS faced a fourth down in Riverside territory. The Cardinals went for it and converted when Plunk hit Burcham with a pass that got the team inside the Panther red zone. Two plays later, Plunk found Burcham open again; this time for a 10-yard touchdown pass that put Adamsville up 14-7 with five minutes to play in the third quarter. Plunk went on to connect with senior wide receiver Jacob Terry for two more touchdowns in a relatively short amount of time, putting Adamsville up 28-7 with a little over 11 minutes to play. After forcing back-to-back turnovers on downs against the Panthers,
who were desperately trying to catch up, the Cards took over with a big lead, looking to run the last four minutes off the clock. Instead, junior Onri Damron broke through a host of Riverside tacklers for a 40-yard touchdown run; his second rushing touchdown in as many weeks. Riverside put a scoring drive together before regulation expired, but Adamsville blocked the extra point attempt to assert the Cardinals’ recent dominance over the Panthers. Gray said the defense did a great job containing Riverside quarterback Luke Ward, and that going into the game, he felt like his defensive line would cause a lot of problems for the Panther blockers. The defense forced five turnovers in the game. Zak Neary intercepted his third pass of the young season, and sophomore Seth Paul got his first right before halftime while filling in for injured senior play-maker John Reed Odom. Odom, who caught Plunk’s first touchdown pass in the first quarter, injured his knee making a tackle later in the first half. He did not return to the game and is unlikely to play in Adamsville’s next contest. “I hope it’s nothing major because he’s a big part of our team,” Gray said of Odom, “but Seth Paul stepped in and did a great job. We make sure our backups get reps in practice, and it’s a good
The Lions gave the Rebels a run for their money, but in the end, Bethel came out on top to remain undefeated in the young season.
Bethel Springs 20 Selmer 16
The Rebels were set on cruise control in the first half of their second game of the regular season last Thursday, hosting Selmer Middle School. Bethel’s defense forced two turnovers in the first half that set up touchdowns for the offense. Cornelius Bailey intercepted a pass at the end of the first quarter with the Rebels already leading 7-0. On the ensuing offensive drive, Dylan Crabb found Bailey open for a 43-yard touchdown completion to put his team up 14-0 after Dalton Gate’s extra point split the uprights. Crabb forced a fumble on Selmer’s next drive, and the Rebels gobbled it up, giving
themselves possession and good field position with a little under three minutes to play in the half. They wasted no time capitalizing on the turnover as Mykeal Hudson dashed down the field for a 47-yard touchdown after receiving the pitch from Crabb on the option. With the Rebels leading 20-0 at the break, Selmer was down but not out. The Lions roared back in the second half, scoring 14 unanswered points. Logan Roberts got the scoring started for Selmer when he hit Sidney Rickman in the flat for a 35-yard touchdown pass. Roberts pounded the two-point conversion attempt across the goal line, and the Lions trailed 20-8. After forcing a Rebel punt as the fourth quarter began, the Lions knew they would have to act fast if they wanted to win. Facing a long fourth down at midfield, Selmer went for it, and it paid off. Roberts avoided a tackle in the backfield and sprinted to

Ramer continues Wynn-ing ways By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
Kylin Wynn and the Ramer Eagles continued their winning ways last Thursday on the road against the Reagan South Side Mustangs.
Ramer 38 Reagan South Side 00
Pitching a shutout, the Eagle defense kept the hard-running Mustang backs to minimal gains. The same cannot be said of the Mustang defense as Wynn scored five touchdowns on the ground while piling up 266 yards. “Kylin Wynn had an outstanding game on the ground,” said Ramer head coach Jeremy Blakely. “Our offensive line had a tough time blocking their defensive line, but Kylin was able to get through them for a File Photo by Andrew Alexander few really big gains.” Wynn pitched in on defense too, recording seven Kylin Wynn glances back at his pursuers while on the way to a touchdown. Wynn tackles and recovering a fumble. Ryan Nixon interscored five touchdowns last Thursday against the Mustangs.
Blue Devils cage Cardinals By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer
The Michie Blue Devils came away with a huge county win last week as they beat Adamsville for the first time in almost two decades.
Adamsville Michie
12 30
The showdown that happened at Michie school last week was one to remember. “It was a lot closer than the final score. We did not put the game out of reach until the fourth quarter, that is something we need to work on,” said coach Michael Cleary, of Michie. The Blue Devils’ high powered offense came out firing, scoring 16 of their 30 points in the first quarter. The Devils’ running back Dylan Whirley carried the ball in on the ground for both scores. Michie decided, on both scores, that they would go for two and were successful with a pass to tight end Jerrett Mask, and a three yard run from Whirley. Adamsville was not going to give up so easily. Running back Tanner Pyron put the Cardinals on the board in the second quarter, running the ball into the end zone to bring the score to 8-6 after a failed conversion try. The Cardinals continued on.
After the Blue Devils scored their second touchdown, Adamsville’s offense wasted no time scoring again themselves when Hayden Moore took the ball on the ground and put six more points on the board, making it 16-12 going into halftime. The second half belonged to the Blue Devils. Michie’s defense stepped up, made adjustments, and kept the Cardinals from scoring again for the rest of the game. Defense won the momentum, and the offense stayed on fire as well. Whirley kept his excellent game going by throwing a touchdown to receiver Alex Browder, and then running for another. Mask would again make a spectacular catch in the end zone for the two point conversion. “We are happy to get the win. We believe that this is the first time since 1994 that Michie beat Adamsville in football” Cleary noted. Adamsville (0-2, 0-2) will look to improve before they play Selmer on Sept. 6. “This was a very hard-fought game,” said Cardinal head coach Michael Harvill. “Michie is a tough team and a very physical football team. They played very well and I congratulate them on their win. They will have a good season.” Coach Cleary and the Blue Devils (1-1, 1-1) are still hoping for a good season and a county title is not yet out of reach. They are looking forward to their game at Ramer on Sept. 6.

The golf teams from both McNairy Central and Adamsville high schools took on an exciting challenge last week as they took on some of the best schools in West Tennessee. More than 20 teams came to compete in the annual Hardin County Invitational, which has turned out to be one of the prestige tournaments in the area. The Bobcats boys’ team was led by Jason Kirk who turned in a 77. The Cats turned in a fair card, finishing sixth overall in the boys’ division with a score of 317. Individual scores turned in by the Bobcats were Dilan Miller (78), Matt Chandler (81), John Hunter Powers (81), and Hunter Foote (88). On the girl’s side of things, Lady Bobcat Valerie Jones shot 91 to finish in the top ten individually.
The Cardinal Golf Team took on the Lions and the Hawks last week. Adamsville would go on to lose the match, turning in a team score of 195 and falling to the Hawks who turned in a 169 for the team win. The team from South Side would also have the medalist on the boys’ side as Max Brown (41) barely beat Cardinal Trevor Griffin (42). The rest of the Cardinals team also played pretty well; Dylan Gattis (52), Stone Lipford (50), JT Spears (55), Drew Pearson (57), Noah Cagle (68), and Tyler Combs (68). On the ladies tees, Taylor Hutton brought home another medal for the Cardinals. Hutton defeated the two young ladies from Scotts Hill with a score of 42.

Five Bethel batters finished the game with at least two hits on the team’s way to run-ruling Ramer last Thursday. Lady Rebel head coach Stacey Volner said she was proud of her girls and their defensive effort, despite all the runs they scored via the long-ball. Three Bethel players hit home runs in the contest. Marlee Smith and Meriah Walk both finished 3-for-3 with a home run apiece, and Katie Turner ended her night 2-for-3, including a three-run home run. The game was originally scheduled for Aug. 28, but due to the school closings, the game date was pushed back. That did not matter to the Lady Rebs. After a scoreless first inning, they went to work, scoring a run in the second. They followed that up with four runs in the third and scored three more in the fourth inning to take an 8-0 lead. Bethel tacked on two more in the fifth to close out the victory. Turner picked up her third win of the season from the pitching circle, throwing all five inning for the Rebels while striking out eight and allowing just two hits. Pitcher Olivia Harris took the loss for Ramer, and she is now 1-2 on the season.
cepted two passes that ended Mustang drives, and Peyton Burrow ended one as well with a fumble recovery. Chase Burdette led the Eagles on defense with 10 tackles. Logan Essary returned a kickoff for a touchdown to add to Ramer’s blowout victory over South Side.

Two coaches stay perfect through week one games By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
The first week of the college football season finally came, and it did not disappoint. Several of our games went down to the wire, and one almost wasn’t worth watching after the first quarter. Michigan was walloped by the defending national champions, Alabama, and I think everyone saw it coming. Every picker got the game of the week right with the exception of one, but the only matchup of the week showcasing a pair of top 10 teams turned out to be a 41-14 blowout. Hardly anyone had the score that lopsided. Zolon Clayton, of Selmer, would have won a nice seafood dinner in Michie with what would have been a certificate-winning, tiebreaker prediction (40-15) after a 5-0 week, but two of our coaches finished unblemished as well. Sorry, bud, but that’s the name of the game. Better luck next week. Coach Michael Stroup turned in a 5-0 record in his first week playing in Top O’ The River’s 2012 Beat the Coaches: College Football Pick’em, and Coach Rennard Woodmore matched him. Coach Brandon Gray went with his Austin Peay boys over the Hilltoppers, and it cost him, but I’ll give him props for standing behind his guys. Best of luck to Josh Carroll, Nathan Reagan, and the rest of the Governor Football Team this season. Week one was rough on Coach Brandon Alldredge with Auburn falling to Clemson in a explosively entertaining game, Kentucky getting crushed by in-state rival Louisville for the second year in a row, and Georgia Tech choking in overtime against Virginia Tech and Heisman-hopeful Logan Thomas. Houdini made his pick’em debut as well,
and he had a decent week, matching Gray at 4-1. He missed on Kentucky but told me the other day that he picked the Wildcats so the coaches wouldn’t get too far behind this early in the game. This week’s games are going to be tough, so he really needs to quit horsing around. First, we’re giving ol’ War Eagle another chance. Auburn will travel to Mississippi State and take on the Bulldogs. Next, we have the Hurricanes blowing into Manhattan, Kan. with a win already under their belts, but quarterback Collin Klein and the Wildcats are prepared to weather the storm and pick up their second win. Florida will act as the welcome wagon for the Southeastern Conference when the Gators head west to show the Texas A&M Aggies what SEC football is all about in our third matchup of week two. After that, we have Midwestern rivals colliding. It’s a boring state to drive through, but their football’s not too shabby. Iowa and Iowa State will play for the heralded Cy-Hawk Trophy in a game I like to refer to as, Contention in the Cornfield. Lastly, we present the game of the week: Georgia vs Missouri. The Bulldogs come into the contest No. 6 in the polls while the opposing Tigers come in unranked. Like Texas A&M, Mizzou will get their first SEC test at home. Will the Tigers pass? We’ll let you and the coaches decide. Submit your picks by fax at (731) 6453591, by email at reporter1@independentappeal.com, or by stopping by our office at 111 N. Second St. in downtown Selmer.

You’re a 4A school playing a 2A school...The pressure isn’t on us. The monkey’s on them...If we win, we win. If we don’t, we don’t. But, we’ve got Scotts Hill next week, and that’s more important to me than McNairy will ever be.”

Lady Cats split high-scoring matches
Lady Cards pick up big district wins By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
Taking on two District 15 A-AA opponents from Henderson County last week, the Lady Cardinals (20-1, 2-0) came away with two big wins.
Adamsville 01 (3) Lexington 01 (2)
It took penalty kicks to decide the winner between the Lady Cardinals and Lady Tigers last Thursday in Lexington, Tenn., but Adamsville came out on top. “I’m so proud of the way we fought through two 10-minute overtimes and making it to PKs,” said Lady Cardinal head coach Rebecca Ashe. “It’s a big win and a great way to end August.” It did not take long for Adamsville to pick up their first goal of the contest. Samantha Oaks scored her third goal of the year only 12 minutes into the first half to give AHS an early 1-0 lead. Ashe said her team played a great first half, but the endurance needs to improve because the Lady Cards had no legs left in the second half, enabling

Samantha Oaks breaks the Lady Lion defense and puts a shot on goal in Adamsville’s 4-0 win over Scotts Hill on Aug. 28. Oaks finished the week with four goals, including her game-winning penalty kick against Lexington last Thursday.

Lexington to score an equalizer to send the game to overtime. The overtime periods were stalemates as both teams fought off exhaustion, but Adamsville had just enough leg left to give the team the edge in the penalty kick shootout. Elisabeth Churchwell netted the first PK for AHS on their second attempt, and Blair Prather got hers past the goalkeeper on the team’s ensuing attempt. Lexington made two PKs, but the Lady Tigers missed three, sending shots over Adamsville goalkeeper Olivia Wright, who made four saves in the match. With a chance to lock down a big win for her Cardinals, Oaks began the game like she started it by drilling her shot home for a goal, giving Adamsville a 3-2 victory in the shootout.

Seven goals was a theme for the McNairy Central Lady Bobcats in their soccer matches last week. The team fell to Chester County 7-1 on Aug. 28, but they rebounded with a 7-3 win over North Side last Thursday. Up next for MCHS (1-2-1, 0-2) will be a district road match against the South Side Lady Hawks this Thursday in Jackson, Tenn.
McNairy Central 07 Jackson North Side 03
Bouncing back from a tough district loss against Chester County, the Lady Bobcat Soccer Team rolled to a four-goal victory at home last Thursday over the Lady Indians of North Side High School in Jackson, Tenn. “We had our best team effort,” said Lady Bobcat head coach Jerry Lott, “especially in the second half.” Despite North Side forward Natalie Mendoza’s first half hat-trick, the MCHS defense had the Lady Indians all hemmed up for the majority of the match, especially in the second half. The Cats held the Indians shot-less in the second half while lighting up their end with 13 shots on goal. Haven Phelps scored a goal for MCHS 20 minutes into the first half, and Porsha Chappell followed it up with a goal around the 28th minute, but McNairy still trailed 3-2 at halftime. Chappell struck again in the second half, putting another goal into the net. Laralee Williams scored her first goal of the season off an assist from Mary Kate Doyle, who also scored two goals in the half. One off an assist from Allison Frye early in the second half, and the other came in injury time off an assist by Phelps, who finished the game with two helpers. Sophomore Rebekah Lowrie also got on the board for the Lady Cats, scoring her third goal of the season 10 minutes into the second half. Goalkeeper Sarah Lambert recorded three saves in the first half, and was replaced in the

The youth pitched in to help the Lady Cardinals pick up the team’s first win, which happened to come in their first District 15 A-AA match of the year against the Scotts Hill Lady Lions. Oaks scored two quick goals midway through the second half that put the game out of reach for the Lady Lions and their comeback hopes. She bolstered the Lady Cardinal lead to 4-0 after rocketing a shot into the net from about 15 yards out, and she scored her first goal on an assist by Churchwell only moments earlier. Freshman Madelynn Lynch got Adamsville going in the first half by scoring her very first goal as a Lady Cardinal, putting her team up 1-0 after numerous shot attempts were denied by the Scotts Hill goalkeeper. Not to be outdone, freshman Parker Davis scored her first goal as a Lady Cardinal just minutes before halftime. “This was a good win,” said Ashe. “We were able to play a lot of young kids. Still have room for improvement, but it was a great district win.” Adamsville finished the game having taken 29 shots – a vast improvement from the previous match against McNairy Central where the team only took three. The Lady Cardinal defense was never tested in the match as the Lady Lions struggled to get the ball past midfield. Wright tended the goal for Adamsville for the majority of the contest and only needed to make one save. Davis took over late in the second half and picked up two.

The Lady Bobcats had a rough game in a non-district contest against the Lady Eagles of Chester County on Aug. 28. Sophomore Haven Phelps scored the Lady Cats’ lone goal 10 minutes into the second half. Sophomore goalkeeper Sarah Lambert recorded seven saves in the game, but the Lady Eagles were relentless in their attack. Chester County led 2-0 after the first half, but poured in five more goals in the second to secure a 7-1 victory over their District 15 A-AA foes, though the match was not counted on the teams’ district records. They will matchup again at Selmer City Park on Sept. 27. The Lady Eagles pelted 12 shots on goal while the Lady Cats managed nine but only netted one.
Volleycats even record after eight matches By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer
Following up on good start in the first week of the season, the Volleycats played two non-district matches last week and finished with a district match against South Side last Thursday. McNairy Central played a marathon of a match against Hardin County at on Aug. 27, and nabbed a big win over the North Side Lady Indians on Aug. 28 in Jackson, Tenn., but the girls fell to the Lady Hawks at home in four close sets. Against the Lady Indians, Tiffany Winebrenner led the Volleycats with huge numbers in almost every statistical category. MCHS dominated
the first set, fell in the second, won a thriller in the third, and fought off a fifth set by putting the Indians away in the fourth. Having won a close match against the Lady Tigers a few days prior at a tournament hosted by Freed-Hardeman University, the Volleycats knew they were in for a competitive match against Hardin County. HCHS got the best of them this time around, but not before MCHS took the Tigers the distance, falling in five tight sets. In what will be their second district match, McNairy Central (4-4, 0-1) will journey to Jackson, Tenn. Thursday to bump, set, and spike their way past the Liberty Lady Crusaders.

Football Motivators By Aaron Friend
What is the most important aspect of sports? The answer is motivation. Without motivation, Joe Montana would not be a four-time Super Bowl champion. Without motivation, Michael Phelps would not be the most decorated Olympian of all time. Without motivation, Wilt Chamberlin would not have had a one hundred point game. But how do people receive motivation? Well, in sports, the repeated pep phrases of the cheerleaders help to motivate athletes. This is not any different at MCHS, where senior cheerleaders Deven Graham, Meagan Martin, Anna Kate Whitley, and April Coleson will provide one last year of motivation for the football players. “My favorite thing about being a cheerleader,” said Meagan Martin, “is when the football players run through the sign and we run to do Rocky Top at the beginning of the ballgame.” Martin said the most difficult thing about being a cheerleader is having to learn new stunts. Also, Martin said her favorite cheerleading memory comes from her freshman year when the squad was able to “sweep the camp.” After graduation, Martin plans to attend college locally and enter into the medical field. She continued by saying that she also plans to try out for cheerleading at the college of her choice. In conclusion, Martin said, “The thing I’ll miss most about MCHS is being able to see all my friends every day and bonfires after almost every Friday night football game.”
Another senior football cheerleader is Anna Kate Whitley. Whitley said the most difficult thing about being a cheerleader is “working together and getting along with fifteen other girls to be the best our team can be.” Her favorite part of cheering is being able to be involved in her school. Whitley’s favorite cheerleading moment was “my very first football game after the boys ran out and I got to do Rocky Top.” After graduating, Whitley plans to attend the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, but she is still undecided as to what her major will be. What Whitley will miss most about MCHS is “Friday night football games with all of my friends!” April Coleson said that her favorite memory was at cheer camp “freshman year, when our squad won first place in Home Pom, Cheer, and Xtreme Routine.” Coleson said that her favorite thing about being a cheerleader is being part of a team. “The cheerleaders really are like a second family to me,” continued Coleson. She said that the most difficult thing about cheering is dealing with the stressful schedule that comes with it. “It gets difficult sometimes, but I love cheerleading, so it’s worth it.” Coleson plans to attend either Union University or the University of Memphis and hopes to become a radiology technician. Coleson said that she will miss seeing her friends and she will miss cheering at each football game and pep rally after she has graduated. Deven Graham is also a
Football Cheerleaders (l to r) Deven Graham, Anna Kate Whitley, Meagan Martin and April Coleson are ready to cheer the Cats to victory. senior football cheerleader at MCHS. Graham said that her favorite cheerleading memories are of dancing to the music that the band plays. She said that her favorite thing about cheering is going to every football game and “cheering on my team.” The
most difficult thing about cheerleading, according to Graham, is learning to work as a team. She continued by saying that the thing she will miss most about MCHS is seeing all of her friends. After graduating, Graham plans to “attend college at
the University of Memphis to become an orthodontist.” It could be said that motivation is the driving force in life. Without motivation, nothing would ever be accomplished. Thus, anyone who is willing to provide that driving force should be thanked.

Farmers need to fertilize cut hay in the fall By Ricky R. Mathenia County Extension Director
Winter feeding is often the major factor that determines whether producers make or lose money in their cattle operations. Most producers plan on feeding hay three to four months each year. Because of the high cost of cutting and feeding hay, decreasing the length of time hay needs to be fed will decrease expenses. According to the director of the University of Tennessee Beef and Forage Center, Dr. Gary Bates, one of the easiest and cheapest ways to do this is by stockpiling tall fescue. “Stockpiling is nothing more than saving forage when it is growing and then grazing it later as needed,” Bates said. “The purpose of stockpiling in the fall is to decrease the amount of hay that needs to be fed during the winter.” Bates adds that tall fescue is the best perennial grass available for early fall forage production. He advises producers that if one or two fescue pastures can be stockpiled, hay feeding may be delayed one or two months, resulting in less hay and less labor needed to feed during this period. The basic guidelines for a good stockpiling program are simple and straight forward. Bates lists these steps: 1. Graze or clip the fescue pasture short in early August. 2. Apply 60 pounds of nitrogen per acre in mid to late August. 3. Keep cattle off one or two of the pastures, which will allow the fescue to grow and accumulate. Later in the fall or winter when the forage is needed,
it can then be grazed. Nitrogen should be applied to all tall fescue pastures in the fall, even if they will not be stockpiled, Bates said. “Applying nitrogen will help increase fall growth, some which can be grazed and some which can be stockpiled.” The expert tells producers that the nutrient requirements of beef cows are generally low during the fall and early winter and can be met through either feeding medium quality hay or grazing. “If there is the possibility to graze, let the cow do the harvesting rather than having the forage harvested and brought to her.” Tall fescue is productive over more of the year than almost any other forage. Stockpiling can add an extra month or two onto the amount of
time that fescue can be used. Since most farms in Tennessee have tall fescue, it makes sense to utilize tall fescue so that as little hay as possible will have to be fed. One of the best ways to do this is to manage these pastures to maximize fall production, stockpiling excess forage and decreasing hay needs and
winter feed costs. For more information on pasture management go online to the UT Extension publications web site: http:// utextension.tennessee.edu/ publications/ or contact your local county UT Extension office. All programs of UT Extension are offered on an equal opportunity basis.
