How the Pusser Museum got a new curator

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

One Injured in Highway 45 accident last Wednesday PAGE 2A

Julia Stevens is the new Curator at the Buford Pusser Home and Museum in Adamsville. Like a lot of people during the recession, her job search was met with rejection until she found the place she believes she was meant to be.

Stevens grew up in Munford, Tenn., which is about 25 miles north of Memphis.

“It’s a small town. It’s not as small as Adamsville,” she explained.

Stevens attended the University of Memphis for four years. She has two degrees: one in International Studies and one in French. She also studied at the Sorbonne in Paris.

“I lived over there for a while, and that was a lot of fun,” Stevens said.

She worked as a tour operator in Memphis for four years.

2012 looks to be hottest year ever

Does it feel warmer than normal this year? Unless we see snowmen this year on Halloween, 2012 is slated to be the warmest ever recorded for West Tennessee. In fact, according to the National Climatic Data Center, this year has been the warmest on record for Memphis, the Mid-South, the Eastern U.S. and the world.

In Memphis, the mean January through August temperature was more than four degrees warmer than average, making it the warmest ever recorded for the city since record keeping began 73 years ago.

With last weekend marking the first day of fall, we should get a break from the extreme heat we have seen all summer. However, if the last 27.5 years are any indication, don’t expect a cold winter this year. That is because for the last 330 months, or every month since March 1985, the global monthly temperature exceeded the recorded average.

What does this all mean to us?

It all depends on who you ask.

Expert opinions range from a catastrophic melting of the world’s ice caps causing sea levels to rise 60 plus feet in the next 100 years, which would cause flooding of all the costal regions of the world, to a normal up-

ward devaluation of the temperature cycle lasting only a few decades. Because predicting the weather is still an imprecise science, time will only tell who is correct.

While scientists still cannot accurately predict temperatures years in advance, they are getting much better at monthly and long-term forecasting. No one really knows whether The Big Easy will be underwater in 2112 or not. However, the consensus among forecasters for fall 2012 shows that McNairy County is slightly warmer and dryer than normal from now until Christmas.

So whatever the future holds, enjoy the near perfect weather the next three months.

One injured in car-motorcycle accident on Highway 45 in Selmer

By Christen Coulon Editor

A car turning left across Highway 45 South Mulberry Avenue failed to yield the right of way while entering traffic and caused a collision with a motorcycle last Wednesday morning.

According to the Selmer Police Department’s Crash Report, the car, a 2001 Honda Civic, driven by James Kuykendall of Corinth, Miss. was traveling northbound on Hwy. 45 when it turned left into the path of a 1983 Honda CBO motorcycle driven

by Tommy Wilbanks of Selmer. “(Kuykendall) stated he just left AutoZone and was on his way back to the car lot (Selmer Classic Cars), and was in the turning lane to turn into the car lot and he did have his signal on to make the turn,” said Officer Tony Westbrooks of the Selmer Police Department in his crash report. “(Kuykendall) stated that he looked south and did not see anything coming when he made the turn. The next thing he knew...there was a loud impact. He did not know where the other vehicle came from.”

Following the accident, Wilbanks

was taken to McNairy Regional Hospital. The extent of Wilbanks injuries were unknown, however he was conscious and able to speak with Westbrooks later that day at the hospital.

Wilbanks stated that he was on his way home from a yard sale when a car turned in front of him, and that was the last thing he could remember.

Following the accident, Kuykendall was cited by officers for failing to yield the right of way.

Both vehicles sustained significant damage in the collision.

Numerous motorcycle safety campaigns have recently been launched in an effort to increase rider safety. Drivers of cars and trucks are urged to look twice to save a life because motorcycles are smaller and harder to see when driving. According to the The National Highway Traffic Safety Association, Motorcyclists should assume that they are invisible to other motorists and operate motorcycles accordingly. The NHTSA asks riders to position themselves to be seen and to ride in the portion of the lane where it is most likely they will be seen by other motorists.

Adamsville mulls sewer expansion School Board honors Jones, schools

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The Adamsville City Commission discussed but took no action on the $200,000 Delta Regional Authority grant at its Sept. 17 meeting. This money, along with the city’s $112,000 share, would be used for grinder pumps to connect the 18 homes in the Caney Branch Subdivision to the Adamsville sewer system. The subdivision has been in the city limits since 1983 but does not have sewer service. Concern was expressed that a gravity system rather than grinder pumps would be a better alternative, though a more costly one.

Mayor David Leckner will coordinate with Public Works Director Paul W. Plunk and the Sewer Department to look at options.

If the grinder pumps go out, though, the city would only temporarily replace them until they are repaired. The cost of repair is the homeowner’s responsibility. Plunk said the grinder pumps cost around $2,000. The city has one spare pump.

Commissioner Frank Lacey said the grinder pumps place uncertain costs on homeowners and said they could be so easily damaged that all would have to happen is if a kid flushes a toy Hot Wheels car. This could not only damage a homeowners grinder pump but also his neighbor’s.

Leckner responded, “Gravity is where we need to be.”

The commission gave the Mayor the authority to sign all the documents associated with a $718,900 Community Development Block Disaster Grant. The grant will be used for inflow and infiltration for the wastewater system, according to City Administrator Steve Simon. Simon had announced that the city would be receiving the grant at the commission meeting last June. The grant requires no match from the city.

The commission approved accepting a $1,500 Pool Grant from the Tennessee Municipal League.

“They offer a grant to every municipality as

industry and so it was just a great opportunity,” she said.

“I’ve always been in love with French, France and Paris, so my French degree was always for me.

It was never anything I wanted to pursue as a career. I never had one set thing that I wanted to do. It was just something that I loved. People would always ask me, ‘Oh, do you want to be a French teacher?’ and I would say, ‘I don’t know.’ I never knew what I wanted to do,” Stevens said.

This changed when she got the opportunity to work as a tour operator.

“I just loved it,” she said.

The only reason she left after four

long as it is associated with safety,” said Simon.

He added that the money will be used to buy a Taser for the police department. In answer to a question from Commissioner Tommy Morris, Simon said that accepting this grant would not lead to future expenditures or mandates.

TML is the insurer for cities and towns in the state. They offer these grants in the hope that municipalities will have fewer accidents and TML will have to pay fewer claims.

Based upon a recommendation by the Planning Commission, the city commission voted to change the name of Church Street to Coffman Lane. The U.S. Postal Service and McNairy County Emergency Management/911 Board reviewed the proposed change and found no issue with it. Since this was done by resolution, rather than ordinance, only one reading is required for this change to become law.

Simon informed the commission that next year’s Buford Pusser Festival has been moved from Memorial Day weekend to the weekend prior to that.

“The reason that it makes a lot of sense for us is that is National Law Enforcement Week and that week, therefore coincides with our law enforcement museum, which is the only one in the State of Tennessee,” Simon explained.

The commission voted to authorize taking bids on a leak survey. The vote was 4-1 with Leckner, Vice-Mayor Matt Wood, Commissioners Frank Lacey and Mark Massey voting yes. Commisioner Tommy Morris was the lone no vote.

The commission voted to change the registration to attend the Governor’s Conference on Tourism from Buford Pusser Home and Museum Curator Julia Stevens to Dwana Pusser Garrison. Simon said that due to an injury to a BPHM staff member, the staff was down to two. The registration fee of $300 has already been paid and Pusser Garrison would be responsible for hotel and travel bills. Morris was again the lone no vote, with Leckner, Wood, Lacey and Massey voting aye.

years is that her husband, David Stevens, got a job as the assistant band director at Adamsville Jr./Sr. High School.

Tourism is both Steven’s vocation and avocation. She has traveled all over Europe and a little in the United States.

“I love touring, going to museums, learning about things. I also love being on the other side of it. I know what people are looking for when they come here because I’ve been that person and I always want to be that person. I love to travel,” Stevens said.

Stevens first became aware of Buford Pusser when she toured the museum in the fourth grade.

“I didn’t remember a lot of things, but I did know who he was,” Stevens said.

The McNairy County Board of Education honored one of its own, member Jean Jones, and three of the schools under its authority: Michie Elementary School, Ramer Elementary School and Selmer Middle School at its Sept. 18 meeting.

Jones, who had been voted the 2012 Cledis Kiser Award for outstanding school board member at its August meeting, was presented with the award at the meeting.

The three schools were honored for being named Reward Schools.

As reported earlier in the Independent Appeal, SMS was recognized for being in the top five percent in the state and MES and RES were recognized for being in the top five percent in exceptional progress.

Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly presented plaques in recognition of this achievement to MES principal Suzanne Henson, RES principal Rusty Petty and SMS principal Dr. Brenda Armstrong.

“You are one of the few in the State of Tennessee and McNairy County is one of the few to have three schools recognized as Reward Schools...There are a lot of good things going on in McNairy County, and we wanted to take this opportunity tonight to say thank you, to recognize you and honor you...I am simply proud of the McNairy County Schools and the McNairy County School system,” Miskelly said.

The board also elected officers. Frank Lacey was reelected chairman, Jarrell Stanfield was elected vice-chairman and Jones was reelected Tennessee Legislative Network representative. TLN is composed of board members representing each of the school districts in the state and governed by a Board of Directors which sets the Tennessee School Board Association’s legislative agenda and support its legislative efforts.

Lacey stressed the need for unity among the board.

“We’ve got to come together as a board even when we cannot agree on everything,” he said.

Board member Tony Chapman responded to criticism from some County Commissioners on the board’s handling of the school referendum and the

Even when she was working in Memphis, she promoted the museum.

“We would tell them, ‘Hey, there’s the Buford Pusser Home and Museum and then head over to Shiloh.’

We would direct people over here...

It’s really funny that it’s now my job after talking about it to people,” Stevens said.

She and her husband originally moved to Savannah in 2010, and she became the BPHM curator in July.

“I applied for different jobs but never got any. They all told me that I had too much experience and that they were afraid that I would leave in a short period of time...I just wanted someone to give me a chance,” Stevens said.

After moving here, she worked as a nanny in Adamsville for a few years.

school building program.

“We have been planning for new schools for six years...Our workers are on top of each other and can’t do their jobs properly because they don’t have room. Our children can’t study good because they don’t have room. Our teachers just can’t teach— they do a fantastic job...but I think they could do a better job if we had some decent schools...We’ve had meetings where certain individuals acted like this is the first time they heard anything about us wanting to build new schools or us having plans to build new schools,” Chapman said.

He added that the board has looked at seven sites in Selmer for the new school, and it will cost between $750,000 and $1 million, whichever one they choose. He said the reason they have not picked a site is because they did not have the money to purchase the property.

McNairy County Board of Education member Jean Jones poses with her third Cledis Kiser Award.

The award is given each year for outstanding school board member. “I am very excited,” Jones said about winning the 2012 award. Jones represents the Sixth District, in Selmer.

“I truly believe that every single, little thing happens for a reason and if I’d taken any other jobs if they offered them to me, I don’t think I’d be here and so I think it all worked out like it was supposed to be,” Stevens said.

The job application process for the curator position was much less frustrating and much more successful than the others since she moved here.

Within three days of applying, she had an interview, and within a week, she was offered the job.

“It was really fast and a great opportunity,” Stevens said.

Stevens couldn’t begin her duties immediately. Always the traveler, she and her sister had already scheduled a trip to Europe. She accepted the job on a Friday and then left on her trip the following Sunday. However,

she did combine business with pleasure.

“During the whole time we were in Europe, I was reading on Buford Pusser like crazy, trying to soak it all in,” she said.

When asked whether she liked her job, Stevens said, “I love it. It’s been a lot of fun meeting people from all over the country. You meet someone new every day. You never know who you’re going to meet.”

When asked if she had mastered all the information about Buford Pusser, she said, “No. How can you master every single detail about a man’s life in just one month? I’ve seen all the films. I’ve read Dwana’s book and I’ve read Bill Wagner’s book, so now I’m stepping into all the W. R. Morris books. There are four of them so I’m sure there are still things for me to learn.”

Michie opens bids Highway dedicated to fallen champion

By Janet Rail Publisher

The city vice mayor and board of aldermen opened sealed bids on a 94 Chevrolet Truck, boom trailer, a 420 John Deere mower and a 455 John Deere mower.

A total of seven persons bid on the surplus merchandise. Lex Mills had the high bid on the truck and trailer at $1005.00 each and Gorden Gladish the high bid on both mowers at $281 for the 420 and $522 for the 455. The board unanimously approved sale to the highest bidders.

Attending the meeting was J. R. “James” and Delores Reddon of Michie who approached the board with the desire to begin dialogue regarding activities for the citizens in the community.

“There are no activities in Michie. We do a lot of charity work and fund raising and would like to get some things going in our community.

Michie is a good community, but there is nothing to do,” said Reddon.

“I spoke to a lot of my neighbors and they think it would be a good idea to get some things going. The children are our future and there is nothing for them to do here.

People go crazy over activities and I believe my neighbors

would enjoy it. I’ve heard we have some drug problems, but our children have nothing to do and they are our future,” said Reddon.

“I agree we need some community events and perhaps you could be the spearhead of these events. It will take a community effort and a committee of people whether appointed by the city or not that crosses all age groups in the city,” said Vice Mayor Jim Merry.

Reddon presented a list of possible events to include things such as a movie in the park, music in the park, a chili cook off, easter egg hunt, car show, community yard sale and more.

“These are fantastic ideas and I especially like the movie in the park idea. We could do that pretty fast,” said Alderman Jeb Baker.

The board discussed having Reddon back next month after both have time to explore liabilities for the city and the possibility of developing a recreational committee. “There may be some grants available for recreational activities, and we need to dertermine what the city wants to support,” said Merry.

The board approved the minutes from the August 27 meeting and no financial reports were reviewed.

Members of the Wyke family, State Reps. Vance Dennis and Barrett Rich, Nick Kistenmacher, West Tennessee Field Rep. for Sen. Bob Corker, Eastview Mayor Jessie Robbins, Court Clerk candidates Kevin Lipford and Byron Maxedon and others gather in front of the Frederick D. Wyke Memorial Highway sign at the dedication ceremony in Eastview last Friday.

This was the culmination of nearly a year-long effort to honor Wyke, who was state champion in 300-yard intermediate hurdles in 1987. He is the only McNairy Countian to win a state championship in any sport since schools were integrated in the 1960s. Wyke was scheduled to enter the Air Force in Sept. 1987, but died of an apparent heart attack in July of that year.

Wyke used to jog the stretch of Highway 45 named for him because McNairy Central didn’t have a track, according to brother Quincy, who spearheaded the effort to honor Fred.

Dennis described Wyke as someone who has “gone the extra mile and been a role model.”

“Its been a good day for me, my parents, my siblings and anyone who knew Fred. He was a great big brother. I will always do anything I can to be like him. I’m sure he’d be very happy,” Quincy said.

“The City of Eastview is proud of the Wyke family. They are an asset to the community. They are really good people,” Robbins said.

“Even though he is gone, he lives on,” said Will Luster in the opening prayer.

Dennis currently represents McNairy and other counties in the state legislature. However, due to redistricting the county will be moved into the district currently represented by Rich, who is running unopposed for reelection, after the November election.

Three suspects arrested in Michie Crack bust FISH DAY!

By Christen Coulon Editor

The execution of a search warrant last Friday on a Michie residence at Roosevelt Lane by members of the Selmer Police Department and the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department netted three suspects and a small amount of crack cocaine.

During the incident, Calvin Todd Jones was arrested and charged with possession of a Schedule II drug and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Henry Calvin Irons and Robert C Irons were also arrested at the scene and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

The team arrived and found Jones standing with another man by a bonfire. According to the incident report from the sheriff’s department, a search of Jones revealed individual baggies with a

white powdery substance of what appeared to be cocaine and a baggie of what appeared to be crack cocaine.

In the report, Investigator Lynn Ingle said that once inside officers discovered what they initially thought was a large amount of drugs inside the residence. However, a field test of the 45-gram bag of white powder found inside the home did not test positive for cocaine.

In addition to the drugs found on Jones, officers also found a glass tube and a Brillo pad in a welding helmet inside a structure attached to the residence.

Officers considered these items to be drug paraphernalia, and because the individuals at the residence stated that they did not know who the items belonged to officers charged everyone present, including Henry and Robert Irons with possession of drug paraphernalia.

McNAIRY VOICES

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Your daughter is changing daily from a girl into young women. There is nothing you can do to stop the progress of Mother Nature, but you can equip your daughter with the knowledge she needs for her journey into womanhood.

You and your daughter can learn and have fun together by attending a program called “Girl Talk,” which is designed for mothers and their daughter ages 9-12 years old. “Girl Talk” is an educational program designed to enhance communication between moms and their pre-teen daughters about their changing bodies, self-esteem, family values, decision making, sexuality, and responsibility.

These topics are embarrassing for many girls and mothers to discuss. “Girl Talk” opens that door of communication in a fun approach.

The “Girl Talk” classes are presented by UT Extension Family and Consumer Science Agent, Schancey Chapman and McNairy County Health Department Health Educator, Beth Hamilton. The classes will begin on Oct. 4 at 6 p.m. at McNairy County Ag Educational Center; on High School Road. The classes will continue weekly on Oct. 11,

What do you think of presidential candidate Mitt Romney?

Patty Terry (Adamsville):

Mickey Evans (Adamsville):

“I think Romney would do the country a lot better than what Obama’s done.”

“I believe Mitt Romney’s got a lot more that he needs to get behind the people with. He’s too far out in front with a lot of beliefs that the people are not with— no one’s agreeing with him upon and I just believe Obama’s got the better campaign.”

Michael Doles (Adamsville): “Okay fellow.”

Karen Rose (Bethel Springs):

James Hodge (Adamsville):

Diane Murray (Adamsville):

“I think he’s going to do the American people real justice.”

“I’m more for Obama.”

“Well, I don’t know that much about him, but I will vote for him rather than vote for Obama, but I think—either party, if we don’t put God back in the country—we’re in for it.”

Olweus Anti-Bullying Program in McNairy County Bullying has always been a part of life, especially in the lives of children. At one time or another, most of the population has witnessed or even been a part of a bullying incident, either as a bully, a bystander, or the one being bullied. In recent years the incidents of bullying seem to have risen to an all-time high, especially with the addition of cyber-bullying that can occur in social networks and/or on electronic devices. The schools have been challenged with the responsibility of changing the culture of our students to reduce bullying incidents. The state of Tennessee requires that all Tennessee schools have not only a plan in place to deal with bullying incidents, but a program that teaches students how to deal with, report, and lessen the incidents of bullying. E-Rate, which discounts the internet service for McNairy County Schools and others across the state, requires schools using its services to teach students about bullying. Terry Burns, Technology Coordinator in McNairy County, reports that, “Every student in every school in McNairy County is required to learn about bullying and how to help prevent it. Without providing this information to our students, we could lose the discount that E-Rate allows.”

Partly due to the emphasis on preventing bullying in the schools and building a new culture of respect among students, three employees of McNairy County Schools, received a scholarship to attend three days of intensive training in the Olweus Bully Prevention Model. Shelva Moore, Tena Rowsey, and Patsy Cromer attended a train-the-trainer workshop in Nashville in the spring of 2012.

This training allows them to come back and train other schools in the Olweus method of dealing with bully prevention.

Several of our county schools have been trained and are implementing the program during the 2012-2013 school year. These schools are Ramer Elementary, Selmer Elementary, and Selmer Middle School. Other schools will be trained this fall or next summer, so all county schools will be able to establish rules to handle bullying that will be consistent across the county.

The Olweus definition states, “Bullying is when someone repeatedly and on purpose says or does mean or hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending himself or herself.” The Olweus Model stresses that in order for the program to be successful, four components must be present. They are the school level component, the classroom level component, the individual level component, and the community level component.

Parents are a vital part of each component and are involved at all four levels. As the program develops across the county, a difference in bullying should be seen at every level.

Already the county has adopted an anti-bullying pledge and a mascot. Each school has received a banner with the Buddy the Bee mascot stating, “Bee a Buddy, not a Bully”. The anti-bullying pledge is also visible on the banner which states: 1. We will not bully others. 2. We will try to help students who are bullied. 3.

We will try to include student who are left out. 4. If we know that somebody is being bullied, we will tell an adult at school and an adult at home. Please support the schools’ efforts to reduce the incidences of bullying in the McNairy County Schools and in our community.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Newspaper apologizes for error in accident story In last week’s issue of the Independent Appeal, we made a serious mistake. We incorrectly identified the last name of Bobby Baggett who was killed in a Highway 57 accident in Ramer on Aug 16. When we lose a resident of McNairy County, we report their passing to notify their fellow residents and to honor their memory. In the news industry it is our business to report facts without making mistakes. On the rare occasion when mistakes do slip through, they are corrected. In this situation, where we have misidentified the name of a fallen resident, I felt a mere correction would not suffice.

Last week, we identified this error minutes after our printed papers were received at our office. We immediately took steps to make this correction public on our website and our Facebook page. In addition, we identified and put in place additional copy editing steps designed to prevent a similar error from occurring in the future. Furthermore, I would like to personally apologize on behalf of myself and the Independent Appeal to the Baggett family for any pain this error may have caused.

A great story to tell

community events Project ENRICH The McNairy County School District recently received funding for the Tennessee 21st Century Community Learning Center Program which will allow both Adamsville Jr/Sr High School and McNairy Central High School students to participate in a variety of curriculum activities before and after school through Project ENRICH. We are currently accepting applications which students can obtain from their school or parents may contact the school office to have an application sent home. The cost to the student is $10 per year, or free if a student’s fees are waived.

September 29 Patriots for Civic Action Rally The Patriots for Civic Action will hold a Rally on Saturday, the 29th of September at 10 am at Selmer Park featuring speakers on current issues in upcoming election. Bring your chairs and invite your friends.

Mary Frances (Frankie) Nichols smiles for a photo.

Mary Frances (Frankie) Nichols came to stay in our transition unit after her hospital stay, and I realized she had a great story to tell. When I asked if I could write about her, she said there is not much to tell. Well I don’t agree with that statement. I wonder if it is like a painter who looks at a scene and just has to paint that great picture. Well that is what a story does for me - just something I have to tell.

Ms. Frankie was born March 29, 1919 in Decatur County to V. J. and Margaret Chummy. She was the youngest of three children. She had one brother and one sister who are both deceased. She was married to Robert Nichols from Adamsville, Tenn. She lost Mr. Robert in 1984.

She worked for many years at Garran Manufacturing company in Adamsville while Mr. Robert was serving in World War II. She had the pleasure of being in very good health until a few years ago. She did her own yard work until she was in her eighties. One of her many accomplishments in life was being an excellent seamstress. She made all her daughters’ clothes when they were in school. She also was a wonderful mother to her two daughters, Carolyn and Robbie. She is a very creative person who loved to decorate her house at Christmas. She is an avid reader, and even after macular degeneration made her eyesight very bad, she continues to read. She manages to read with a very small, strong magnifying glass. She reads her Bible daily,

Submitted Photo

works word search puzzles, and always reads the county paper.

She is a very independent lady who attends church every Sunday unless she is sick. She is the proud Grandmother of four grandchildren who love her dearly. Rob, Catherine, Leah, and Eric are very proud to call her their Grandmother. She also has seven great grandchildren and soon to be eight with one on the way. She also has two sons in law, Eddie Dickey and Larry Majors.

Before her husband’s illness and death, they attended square dances every weekend. She also enjoyed going to the Senior Citizen’s Center in Adamsville every week and any special occasions.

When I talked to her about her story, she said there is nothing to write. I am sure glad she was wrong for once in her life. She has a quick smile and a very sharp mind.

What a great piece of history I was able to share from this great lady and her two daughters. As I stated last week, Robbie and I have been friends for several years. Her other daughter, Carolyn, whom I have just met, and Robbie definitely prove the old saying, “A daughter is a daughter for the rest of her life.”

We are very proud to have Ms. Nichols work with our therapy department. She may have some more history to share with her family, and I hope so. We have to get her well so she can live well.

Until next time.

Rebels rule roost, top Ramer for title Slobber-knocker decides county championship

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Three big plays early in the game yielded all the scoring fans would see in the defensive slugfest that determined this year’s county champion on the junior high football gridiron, and the Bethel Springs Rebels are proud to be wearing the crown.

Bethel Springs 16 Ramer 06

When the Rebels and Eagles met last Thursday at Bethel Springs Elementary School for the county championship, both teams were unbeaten and averaging around 30 points per game, but despite three scoring plays of more than 25 yards,

Kameron Atkins (84) and Chase Burdette (55) clear some running room for Ramer’s Kylin Wynn (31), but Bethel defenders chase him down from behind to keep his damage minimal.

the game was a defensive battle through and through.

Both head coaches, Bethel’s Brian Franks and Ramer’s Jeremy Blakely, called it one of the hardest-hitting junior high football games they had ever witnessed, and the stats backed up their claims. The Rebel and Eagle defenses were laying some huge hits and combined to force eight fumbles in the contest, while the two offenses only managed to combine for a little more than 350 total yards.

In the end, Bethel claimed its third football county championship in school history, with the first two coming nearly 20 years apart in 1987 and 2006, but Franks, though proud of his team and its accomplishment, said that their 2012 title did not come without escaping a very tough opponent.

“We ran into a Ramer team that was really, really good and really well coached,” said Franks. “I’m just proud to get a victory over them.”

Blakely, though frustrated

The 2012 Bethel Springs Rebels soak in the school’s third county championship after an intense matchup with the Ramer Eagles last Thursday. The win gives Bethel a 4-0 record against county opponents this season, and they are one win away from finishing the regular season undefeated at 6-0. by turnovers, gave credit to the very tough competition.

“We ended the night with five fumbles. When you play a really good team like Bethel, there is little room for error,” he said. “Our offense started off with a bang. We scored on our first play from scrimmage. After that, every time we had a good

drive going we would turn the ball over.”

That “bang” Blakely spoke of was Kylin Wynn taking off for 60-yard touchdown run on Ramer’s opening play of the game, stunning the Bethel players, coaches, and fans.

“Kylin Wynn is a great back,” said Franks. “We knew we would

have to stop him to win...He took the first run to the house and I’m thinking to myself, ‘It’s going to be a long night, or we’re going to have to step it up on defense.’”

The Rebels bowed their backs after that, holding Wynn

Unbeaten Trojans no match for Cardinals

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Adamsville head coach Brandon Gray said Collinwood was probably the best competition his team has faced all season, but that did not stop the Cardinals from rolling to a 23-point Homecoming victory over the now 4-1 Trojans.

Adamsville Collinwood

29 06

Following a beautiful Homecoming ceremony at Lendon Martin Memorial Stadium last Friday,

Adamsville’s defense went to work, making it an ugly night for Collinwood’s offense and holding the team’s third straight opponent to less than seven points.

Gray said the team adopted an eight-man defensive lineman rotation a couple weeks ago, and along with depth at all the other positions, the Cardinals have been able to gas their adversaries while remaining quite fresh in the process.

“We’ve got some depth, and we’ve got some athletes. At times, (Collinwood was) running no-huddle and it was hard to rotate in and out,” said Gray. “We can rotate up to eight defensive linemen, so we’re

winning a lot by attrition, I guess you could say. Just wearing teams out.”

Adamsville defensive backs intercepted Collinwood’s junior starting quarterback, Logan Montgomery four times in the first half, setting the Cardinals up to do a lot of scoring early for the second week in a row.

Jacob Wallis got his interception on the Trojans’ first play from scrimmage, and Taylor Henry took one back for a touchdown midway through the second quarter to put the Cards up19-6 following a pair

The McNairy Central and Adamsville golf teams traveled to the Tennessee River Golf Club in Decaturville, Tenn. Last Monday to compete for a District 15 A-AA Championship and a chance to advance to region. Both teams competed well, but it was the Bobcats who had the better day on the course.

All of the Bobcats marched on to the Region 8 A-AA Tournament, which will be held at the same location next Monday. The Bobcat boys finished second overall in team play with a score of 321.

Jason Kirk, who has played well for the Bobcats all year, finished as the overall tournament winner with a score of 65 (-6). He did not do it alone; Matt Chandler and Hunter Foote both shot 84, and John Hunter Powers turned in an 88.

The Lady Bobcats followed suit, finishing second in the team standings with a score of 188. The Lady Cats were led by Kelly Beth Ernest, who finished in third place overall with a 92.

Behind Ernest, Adamsville’s Taylor Hutton finished with a 96. The score was good enough to bring home fifth place overall after beating Bobcat Valerie Jones, who also carded a 96, in a one-hole playoff. The performance also advanced Hutton to the region tourney as an individual competitor.

The Adamsville boys finished the day with a total team score of 409. Trevor Griffin was, again, the low scorer for the Cardinals, turning in a round of 86 (+15). The rest of the Cardinals did not fare as well; Dylan Gattis (96), Stone Lipford (118), JT Spears (109), and Drew Pearson (128).

Lady Rebels undefeated county champs Injuries plague

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The Lady Rebels of Bethel Springs clinched the 2012 county softball championship with a win over Selmer on Sept. 11.

The girls wrapped up an undefeated season on Sept. 18 with a win over Ramer at Patriot Park to finish the season 6-0.

On the strength of Katie Turner’s throwing arm, Bethel beat Ramer to put the icing on top of their proverbial county championship cake.

Turner pitched an outstanding game against the Eagles, throwing all six innings for the Lady Rebels while striking out 11 and only giving up four hits.

“Katie Turner dominated from the circle with 61 strikeouts in six games,” said Rebel head coach Stacey Volner of her seventh-

grade phenom’s performance in 2012. “She only allowed eight runs all season.”

Bethel jumped out to an early 2-0 lead after the first and led 6-0 after two. The Rebs plated two more runs in the fourth before the Lady Eagles scored their only run in the fifth inning.

“I’m proud of the way my girls have played this season,” said Ramer head coach Vonda Jobe. “They’ve played very well and have improved during the season.

They are hard workers and have great attitudes. It has been a joy to coach such a great group of girls.”

The Lady Eagles finished the season 3-3 with two wins over Michie and one over Selmer.

Outscoring their opponents 59-8 on the season, the Lady Rebels were relatively unchallenged all season long.

“I am so proud of the hard work and determination this season. It really paid off,” Volner added. “We played solid defense ev-

Bobcats in loss to unbeaten Tigers

ery game. We also hit the ball well with an overall team batting average of .492. It has been a great season.”

The Lady Rebels season batting figures are as follows: Marlee Smith (.722), Emma Spencer (.714), Katie Turner (.667), Emily Martin (.513), Meriah Walk (.492), Emily Phillips-Harmon (.444), Kailie Lott (.411), Brittany Nixon (.333), Macey Rowland (.235).

The Bobcat offense could not get rolling against the Tigers. The loss of quarterback Peyton McMahan in the first quarter hurt the Cats and changed their game plan and what they were able to do offensively.

Although the Bobcats still rushed for close to 100 yards, the Tiger defense was able to keep them in check for most of the game.

The Bobcats’ only score came from Jarrett Mood when he broke away late in the game for a touchdown run of more than 60 yards to put McNairy’s only points on the board.

MCHS head coach Charlie Dampeer indicated that the team is young, and with the key injuries that they had they were fighting an uphill battle. The team needs to just focus on getting better and getting healthy, he said.

On the other side of the ball the Bobcat defense could not slow down the high-powered Tiger attack. Marco Vaughn led the team in tackles with nine, but it was not enough.

The Bobcat defense was on the field too long, and it showed on the scoreboard with the Tigers exploding for 42 points in the first half.

McNairy Central (0-5, 0-2) looks to turn things around next week when the Bobcats host Homecoming against the visiting Chester County Eagles (2-3, 1-1).

Perfect Weatherford...again

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Football knowledge flows strong in the veins of the Weatherford family, of Bethel Springs. Last week’s winner, Darryl Weatherford, is now the proud father of our week four winner in Top O’ The River’s 2012 Beat the Coaches: College Football Pick’em.

Zachary Weatherford beat the coaches and finished the week 5-0, just like his old man did last week. If catfish were worth their weight in gold, the Weatherfords would be rolling in the dough after Zachary’s tiebreaker prediction, in which he had Florida State topping Clemson 42-28, gave him the victory over the only other contestant to finish without a miss.

Former Milledgeville resident and Adamsville Cardinal offensive and defensive lineman Corey Smith, who currently resides in Nashville, Tenn. while making his living as a chef, was also able to beat the coaches and finish 5-0, but his tiebreaker prediction of a Seminole 37-20 win over the Tigers left him a few points short of besting Weatherford as FSU and Clemson combined for 86 points in the ‘Noles 49-37 win in our game of the week.

Coach Michael Stroup’s perfect bid in week four was chopped down by the Oregon State Beavers when they dammed up the UCLA Bruin offense to pull out a 2720 upset victory at the Rose Bowl. Stroup’s 4-1 record still led the coaches, and he also leads the overall standings, selecting correctly on 14 of the first 20 picks. Heather Doles, of Ramer, was our only other contestant to finish the week with four correct picks.

Coaches Brandon Gray, Rennard Woodmore, and Brandon Alldredge each finished 3-2 on the week, and Houdini brought up the rear with a 2-3 record, missing on Kansas State’s 24-19 win over Oklahoma, Missouri’s 31-10 loss to South Carolina, and Notre Dame’s 13-6 win over Michigan.

Excluding the coaches, more than half of our contestants finished 2-3 in a tough week of pick’em. Roughly 80 percent of our

pickers took UCLA and Oklahoma, yielding two losses, and nearly half of our contestants bet against the luck of the Fighting Irish. Few were bold enough to take underdog Tigers teams, and it paid off with Mizzou and Clemson both losing.

Houdini is currently in third place behind Stroup and Woodmore with an 11-9 record. This week, the horse is taking the win-less Arkansas Razorbacks to win on the road against Texas A&M. As a horse owned by my family should, Houdini likes No. 14 Ohio State to win in East Lansing over No. 20 Michigan State. If he didn’t, I’d be the proud new owner of a long-lasting supply of glue.

In what could possibly turn out to be the highest scoring game in Big 12 history, the horse is picking No. 12 Texas over Oklahoma State in a game that pits two teams which combine for an average of more than 110 points each time they step on the field. Houdini also likes the Cornhuskers and Taylor Martinez to pick up a win in their Big Ten-opener when No. 22 Nebraska hosts the Wisconsin Badgers.

Once again, and last but not least, the Tennessee Volunteers highlight our game of the week with a rivalry matchup on the road against the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs.

The game, which showcases two future first-round draft picks at the quarterback position in Tyler Bray and Aaron Murray, is a must-win for the Vols if they hope to continue to contend for an SEC Championship, and Houdini is picking Tennessee to make that statement.

Remember, if you would like to play along for your chance to win a tasty seafood prize courtesy of our friends down at Top O’ The River on Hwy. 57 in Michie, submit your picks for week four to our office at 111 N. Second St. in Selmer by 5 p.m.

Adamsville Cardinals Dustin Plunk (Left) and Taylor Henry (Middle) are awarded Edward Jones Players of the Week honors by Sam Vise for Week Five. Plunk was selected for his offensive performance, converting on all three of his field goal attempts and both extra points against Collinwood. He also had one tackle. Henry was Adamsville’s defensive selection coming up with two interceptions against the Trojans last Friday, one of which he returned for a touchdown. He also recorded one tackle. (Right) McNairy Central Bobcat Kooper Davis is awarded Edward Jones Player of the Week honors by Sam Vise for Week Five. The senior offensive and defensive lineman had three tackles against Hardin County last Friday, and he paved the way for some rushing yards as well.

of field goals and a Hayden Reece touchdown run.

Seth Paul picked one off on Collinwood’s next drive, splitting time with other Cardinals to fill the role of injured senior corner John Reed Odom and setting up a Jacob Dengler five-yard touchdown run.

Henry snatched another Montgomery pass out of the air on the following drive for his second interception of the night and fourth of the season, giving way for Dustin Plunk’s third field goal of the game with less than 30 second remaining before halftime to put Adamsville up 29-6.

With the Cardinal defense holding opposing offenses to an average of less than nine points per game and the Cardinal offense showing flurries of scoring brilliance, Adamsville has coasted to five wins in a row, following a season-opening loss to Chester County.

Their fifth win of the season was a milestone victory for the Class of 2013, according to Gray.

“That’s their 32nd win,” Gray said of this year’s senior class. “That ties last year’s senior class, who won 32 games in their careers...

We’re fortunate right now. Our kids want it, they’re hungry, and I’m proud of them.”

Leading those seniors against Collinwood, was Jacob Terry, who caught five passes for 30 yards and Reece, who rushed for 75 yards on 10 carries. Starting linebacker Seth Killingsworth made his return to the field after missing two games and finished his night with team-leading 12 tackles.

Junior Zak Neary missed his second consecutive game, but Reece and junior Dustin Neill filled in nicely, combining for 169 yards on the ground.

This Friday, Adamsville (5-1, 2-0) has a big game in Jackson, Tenn. against Trinity Christian Academy (2-3, 1-0), and the Lions come into the game with a bad taste in their mouths after the Cardinals handed them a 69-19 beatdown last year, setting the AHS record for points scored in a game. To make things more interesting, District 15-A Championship implications will be on the line.

“We’re just going to hit’em in the mouth...

We’re not going to let TCA dictate us,” Gray said. “If you stop us and beat us, my hats off to you...I know they’ve had us circled on the calendar, but I don’t think they’re there yet.”

With a win over the Lions, the Cardinals would be in sole possession of first place with

just Middleton left on the district schedule.

Adamsville is currently ranked No. 6 among 2A programs, and they are No. 10 in the Jackson Sun’s Dirty Dozen.

Other Chase qualifying finishes included: Brad Keselowski (6th), Tony Stewart (7th), Kevin Harvick (11th), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (13th), Matt Kenseth (14th),

Martin Truex Jr. (17th), Greg Biffle (18th).

Vols Overcome First-Half Lull Coming off a disappointing loss to Florida, Tennessee fans were a wreck with their Vols tied 23-23 with the Akron Zips at halftime of last Saturday’s game at Neyland Stadium, but the anxiety was relieved after the intermission as Big Orange outscored their Mid-American Conference counterparts 24-3 in the second half. Tyler Bray shined in the win, throwing for more than 400 yards while connecting with his receivers for four touchdowns through the air. The Volunteers (3-1, 0-1) roll into Athens, Ga. for an SEC East showdown with the Georgia Bulldogs (4-0, 2-0) this Saturday.

Titans Win in OT Second-year Titan Jake Locker threw for more than 375 yards in Tennessee’s 44-41 overtime victory at home against the Detroit Lions last Sunday. The Titans fought off a relentless second-half offensive by the Lions, scoring five touchdowns on plays gaining more than 60 yards. Rob Bironas’ 26-yard field goal in overtime gave the Titans their first win of the season. Three-time Pro-Bowl starter Chris Johnson remained relatively ineffective for Tennessee, rushing for a meager 24 yards on 14 carries. Though set to earn nearly $13.5 million in 2012, Johnson has rushed for only 45 yards and no touchdowns through the first three games. This week, the Titans (1-2) travel to Houston for a division game against the Texans (3-0).

Tough Hardin County Blue Devils win at Homecoming team thumps young Adamsville squad

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Michie Blue Devils came away with a huge victory when they hosted the Mustangs of Reagan South Side without a few key starters in the lineup.

While the future of Adamsville Junior High Football looks bright with tons of seventh-graders getting lots of playing time, the Cardinals are still struggling to pick up a win.

Last Thursday, the Hardin County Middle School Tigers hosted Adamsville and came away with a 26-point win over the Cardinals.

“Tough game,” said Cardinal head coach Michael Harvill.

“Hardin County has a very solid football team. Lots of speed, but our kids did the best they could. The effort was good. We just came up short.”

The Tigers jumped out to a 22-0 lead after the first quarter and went on to score 12 more in the second. Chandler Davila’s 17-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter was the only Cardinal score of the game.

Adamsville (0-5, 0-4) has a great chance to pick up the team’s first win this Thursday when the Cardinals host the Mustangs of Reagan South Side.

Lady Card bowlers impress at jamboree

Homecoming week started a little different for the Blue Devils with the loss of some key starters during the week. Michie was still able, though, to run the offense well and come away with a victory against the visiting Lions.

“Our players worked hard all week and it paid off tonight with a big Homecoming win,” said Michie head coach Michael Cleary. “We were a little short-handed, but our young sixth and seventh-graders stepped in, played well, and will have valuable experience going forward.”

The Blue Devils were able to keep up the rushing attack this week, with quarterback Clint Coleman and running back Alex Browder both rushing for more than 100 yards. Coleman was also able to get into the

end zone three times in the victory.

Michie was also sharp on the defensive side of the ball. The Blue Devils did not allow a single score until the fourth quarter. Alex Browder led the Devils on defense, having a great game with nine total tackles. The rest of the team was not far behind as the entire defense seemed to play with a chip on their shoulder.

Michie looks to finish the season strong when they host Tishomingo County.

Having their game against the South Side Lady Hawks on Sept. 18 rained out left the Lady Cardinals hungry for some action, resulting in the Adamsville squad devouring the Fayette-Ware Lady Wildcats in a home district match last Thursday.

Junior goalkeeper Olivia Wright did not allow Fayette-Ware to score, but that was because the Adamsville defense did not allow a single shot on goal while she was tending the net for the Lady Cards in the team’s four-goal victory over Lady Wildcats.

“This was a good district win,” said Adamville head coach Rebecca Ashe. “Coach (Richard) White and I were proud to see the girls get back to winning.”

The shutout was nothing new for

AHS. Through the team’s first seven matches, three of their opponents have failed to score a goal against them.

Freshman Parker Davis relieved Wright between the goalposts in the second half and made three saves when the Wildcats were finally able to move the ball effectively.

Seniors Samantha Oaks and Elisabeth Churchwell, along with junior Andrea Martin gave Adamsville a 3-0 lead in the first half as each scored a goal apiece. In the second half, Robin Moore blasted a ball into the net, marking the freshman’s first goal as a Lady Cardinal, and gave her team a 4-0 advantage.

Next up for the Lady Cardinals (4-2-1, 3-1) is their cross-county and District 15 A-AA South rivals, the McNairy Central Lady Bobcats (5-2-1, 3-0). The winner of the game scheduled to be played in Adamsville at 6 p.m. on Thursday will own sole possession of second place in the southern portion of the

Healthy lifestyles promoted during Family Fitness Day

By Amanda Lowrance Feature Writer

In an effort to reduce childhood obesity, Family Fitness Day was held at the Selmer City Park last Saturday and was sponsored by the McNairy County Health Council and United Healthcare.

Family Fitness Day featured a two-mile run/walk, Zumba, yoga, aerobics, health exhibits, exercise demonstrations, party jumpers, and free goodies.

“It has been an effort from everybody, working together to get the message out,” said volunteer Shelva Moore.

Part of the healthy message being preached at the event was for county residents to commit to being fit by eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables, two hours or less of recreational screen time, at least one hour of physical activity while limiting yourself to no sugar-sweetened drinks each day.

“We won the Governor’s Shining Star Award for the 5210 Program that we did in the schools last year,” said Moore.

“We have a coordinated effort

within the schools.”

Librarians read books about eating right and exercising, counselors educate students concerning healthy living, and even art and music classes promoted better lifestyle choices using creativity.

“It’s a matter of being consistent and not being so impatient,” said Dr. Keith Perkins, Jr. of McNairy Internal Medicine and Pediatric Associates. “It didn’t take a month to put on 100 pounds. It took years and may take years to get back down.”

Dr. Perkins and other health care members helped to promote awareness of sugar-filled drinks and allowed attendees to check their body mass index and blood pressure at the event.

“For most patients, I tell them to start with the drinks,” said Dr. Perkins. “If they drink water, they can lose eight to ten pounds in weeks and that’s without exercise.”

Smiles filled the park as children and families exercised, ate fruit, and drank water to celebrate a new, healthy change in their lifestyles.

Box Score: Ramer @ Bethel – Sept. 20

to a season-low 98 rushing yards.

Down 6-0, the Rebels responded quickly. Mykeal Hudson broke a touchdown run on third-and-long play for more than 25 yards and ended his night leading all rushers with 125 yards on the ground. “(Hudson) was fast and tough to bring down,” said Blakely. “He was hit hard a couple of times and kept driving his feet to get those extra yards.”

The turnovers began for Ramer following a Dylan Crabb connection with Thomas Stevens for a successful two-point conversion attempt that gave Bethel an 8-6 lead.

On the first play of the ensuing drive, which began the second quarter, the Rebels scooped up the Eagles’ first giveaway and turned it into another quick touchdown when Crabb hit Cornelius Bailey for a 54-yard touchdown pass on the next play. Crabb and Stevens hooked up for their second two-point conversion after the score, making it 16-6 with nearly a full three quarters left to play, but the scoring was over.

Both defenses began punishing ball-carriers left and right, and the ball seemed as if it had been dipped in Crisco. Neither team could manage to hold on to it, but they played out the remaining 23 minutes showcasing staunch defense, savvy coaching, and lots and lots of padpopping tackles nonetheless.

The loss will not prevent the Eagles from finishing the year with an exceptional record, but it will keep the school from holding a title it rarely has an opportunity to possess.

“We were all disappointed,” Blakely said after the hard-fought loss.

“Mainly because Ramer is not in position to win a county championship very often, but I am proud of how well the team played leading up to the game to give us that chance.”

The Rebels’ third championship happened to come to fruition during a unique pattern of events for Franks. With the win last Thursday, the coach has now won a basketball and football county championship for Bethel, and a district, region, and sectionals championship on the baseball diamond for McNairy Central all within less than a year’s time.

He said there is no way to rank any one win higher than another, but he went on to say none of it is possible without great players and great coaches.

“The guys have played really hard all season long, the coaches have done a really good job of getting prepared every week for every opponent, and I can’t say enough about this team as far as winning the county championship...I know the season’s not over yet, but if we could wrap this thing up and finish the season undefeated, that’s going to be another great accomplishment.”

The Rebels (5-0, 4-0) will close out the regular season at home this Thursday with a game against Pickwick Southside, but the team is hoping for some postseason action and a repeat invite to a bowl game where they would play the McKenzie Rebels at Bethel University. Bethel beat McKenzie 32-22 last year.

The Eagles (5-1, 3-1) wasted no time getting back in the action as they took on Pickwick last Monday night. Four days of rest after their intense battle with Bethel was enough, and they won 36-6. Ramer will not play again until Oct. 4 when they travel to Middleton to take on the Tigers.
