SCHOOL REFERENDUM SCRUTINIZED

By Jeff Whitten

BATTLE OF DAVIS BRIDGE

Head News Writer

The school building program and the school referendum that would fund it faced scrutiny at a joint meeting of the McNairy County Commission Building and Education Committees last Monday.

Some commissioners laid out what information they would need and what conditions

Reenactment of historic McNairy County battle PAGE 6A

would be required in order to gain their support.

“It’s time to set aside any issues we have,” said County Mayor Ronnie Brooks.

Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly met with the committees and several members of the Board of Education were in the audience.

“I’m here to listen. I’m here to understand,” Miskelly said.

He said he would listen to the commit-

tees’ questions, go back to the school board meeting and they would come up with a consensus answer.

Commissioner Stan Wheeler, who presided over the meeting as Building Committee Chairman, said that without a workable presentation, any vote on local option sales tax would fail.

A fire caused significant damage to a residence at 314 Westwood Circle on Sept.

25.

Selmer firefighters responded to a call at the residence of Wilma Kinneburgh at 10:01 p.m. and were on scene four minutes later to find a fire in the carport of the structure with smoke also pouring out of

windows in the attic.

Selmer Fire Chief Anthony Carr said that luckily, no one was injured in the fire, but the carport of the home was a total loss, and the rest of the house received smoke and water damage.

The Selmer Fire Department received assistance on the scene from the Bethel Springs and Sulphur Springs volunteer fire departments.

Carr said the fire, which began in the

carport of the home, took 45 minutes to bring under control.

Following the fire, the Selmer Fire Department was assisted by Tennessee State Bomb and Arson with an investigation, but the cause of the fire was ruled to be undetermined.

All of the responders at the scene did an excellent job, Carr said. “We appreciate the assistance from the other departments that backed us up in the mutual aid call.”

Independent Appeal names Lewis and Clark Circus Art Contest winners

By Christen Coulon Editor

After receiving artwork from more than 200 students from around the county, the results are in, and we have come up with a list of winners for this year’s Lewis and Clark Art Contest.

Much like our Disney contest, which was held last month, this contest was extremely difficult to judge. This was our largest contest ever with nearly $1,000 worth of prizes available. There were so many fantastic entries, choosing our contest's grand prize winner and 10 runners-up was very difficult. After several rounds of judging, we finally came up with our list of winners.

We would like to commend all of those who entered the contest. We would also like to thank the local art teachers who devoted their time and knowledge helping their students to participate in this contest, as well as the parents of the entrants for their assistance in getting the artwork turned in.

This year's grand prize winner is Jayda McClain, a nine-year-old, fourth grade student from Ramer who is home schooled. McClain will receive a Lewis and Clark Complete Circus Experience package which includes four tickets, four hot dogs, four soft drinks, four cotton candies, four pony rides AND four camel rides.

McClain, who has elected to attend the Saturday show at 7 p.m. will also be able to choose one of her family members to open the Circus by saying, “Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls of all ages, it's time to start the Lewis and Clark Circus.”

It's worth noting, that McClain, barely edged out runner-up Logan Kiestler, a seven-year-old, first grade student from Bethel Springs Elementary for our grand prize. Kiestler along with our nine other runners-up (listed below) will each receive four tickets good for one entrance to the Lewis and Clark Circus in Selmer for any one of their three Selmer shows this weekend. The shows will be held at 4 and 7 p.m. this Saturday (Oct. 6) and at 3 p.m. this Sunday (Oct. 7).

All entries submitted by schools will be returned to the submitting teacher. All other entries will be held at the Independent Appeal office and will be available for pick-up during normal office hours.

The Independent Appeal is dedicated to supporting arts education in McNairy County.

We will be working with local art teachers in the county to hold a Christmas fundraiser for arts education. Please read future issues of this publication for more information on how you can help support McNairy County arts education.

AiM’s Music Homecoming celebrates Stanton Littlejohn recordings

By Christen Coulon Editor

Arts in McNairy will present a Music Homecoming concert Oct. 13 to celebrate the recordings made by Stanton Littlejohn of Eastview, in the 1940’s and 1950’s. Among these recordings were some of the earliest recordings of Carl Perkins along with dozens of other local musicians whose work helped to cement the county’s place in music history.

These recordings are a historical treasure trove of radio broadcasts, live performances and voice recordings captured in Littlejohn’s home. Several of the artists featured in these recordings or their family members will take the Latta stage to share their music in a jamstyle session. The concert will begin at 6 p.m. at the Latta Visitor’s and Cultural Center in Selmer. Admission will be $10.00 per person, and all proceeds will benefit future preservation efforts.

REFERENDUM FROM PAGE 1A

“The sales tax is not a good option for anybody,” he said.

However, Wheeler did say “With a good, solid effort, we would at least have a fighting chance.”

Commissioner David McCullar said that his constituents told him they do not want the sales tax proposal to be put before the voters and want the wheel tax gone.

The current wheel tax is dedicated to paying off the debt used to build the Justice Center. It was created by private act of the General Assembly and cannot be extended and dedicated to the schools.

Any new wheel tax would either have to be imposed by vote of the county commission or by the voters.

McCullar was concerned that if these taxes were dedicated to building new schools, raising the property tax would be the only option to fund other county needs such as road building and repair.

McCullar was also concerned about access by road to the proposed site at Adamsville and that the school board had not chosen a site for the proposed new Selmer school.

“I’m not hearing a lot from parents,” McCullar said.

School board member Tony Chapman, who was in the audience, said that the board had not chosen a site for the new Selmer school because it did not have the funding to purchase it.

The proposal to fund the building of a new school at Adamsville and one at Selmer includes raising the sales tax by one-half cent. Half of this

“David Killingsworth, Ronnie and Wayne Whitten will perform an old-time music set.

The Hatchie Bottom Boys will perform a bluegrass set. Sandy Carroll will do a rockabilly/blues set backed by the legendary W.S. Holland Band,” said Concert Coordinator Dr. Shawn Pitts.

Pitts is the committee chairman for the Heritage and Cultural Committee. He has been working for the past two years to preserve the recordings. In early 2012, AiM received the Henry Reed Award from the American Folklife Center Library of Congress. The cash portion of this award and a grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission will help finance the preservation of these recordings as well as a film documentary of the artists and Stanton Littlejohn. When completed, the entire archive will become a part of the Folklife Collection at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. “It’s a really historic event for McNairy

revenue would go to the schools and half would go to the towns. They could pledge their share of the revenue to the schools, as all have done, except Milledgeville, Stantonville and Selmer. Milledgeville voted not to do this and Stantonville and Selmer deferred the issue, citing the uncertainty over whether the issue would be put on the ballot and whether it would be approved by voters.

Commissioner Billy Brown questioned whether building new schools was the only option to solve the space problem in Selmer and Adamsville schools.

He recommended looking at the option of adding space to the existing schools rather than building new ones.

“We are in a bind with some of our buildings. We are in a bind with some space,” Miskelly said.

Miskelly replied that adding additions to existing schools was a possible solution but not the best one for the next 40 or 50 years.

“Our concern is not for this year or next year. It’s 40 or 50 years down the road,” he said.

Miskelly added that the designs of the two new buildings allows for additions.

Commissioner Keith Jernigan criticized the language in the original resolutions imposing the taxes in perpetuity and said the $50,000 budgeted for furnishing the new schools was way too low.

“Where did all this come from?” he asked.

Miskelly said there was a plan and process going back several years.

He added that the budget estimates for the new Adamsville school were

12-15 classrooms at $4,000 apiece.

“Selmer Elementary should be a swap as far as furniture. The furniture that is in Selmer Elementary now would be transferred to a new facility, so there wouldn’t really be any cost for furnishings for Selmer Elementary,” Miskelly said.

One commissioner supportive of the school board’s efforts was Jeff Lipford.

“The school board has worked on this for years. I think we have to listen to them. To ignore them and start from scratch is a bad idea,” Lipford said.

Commissioner Wilburn Gene Ashe cited three concerns.

The first was the lack of a site for the school in Selmer.

“Until you get a location, I cannot support it,” he said.

The second concern of his was attaining approval of road access to the sites by the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

His third concern was whether the commission was going to have to forgive the school board’s debt, as it was $250,000 this year.

“The answers may be there, but I haven’t seen them,” Ashe said.

Miskelly replied that the board had only asked for debt forgiveness twice, under unique circumstances that would not likely be repeated.

“I don’t see that being a repetition,” he said.

“I think we have been very good stewards of the money we’ve been given,” Miskelly added.

Wheeler said it is hard to estimate costs for site work until a site is chosen and signed agreements from all of the towns say-

County, it’s a roots project for the people here,” said Managing Director for Arts in McNairy, Page Holmes.

Holmes said that to be recognized on a national level with an award from the Library of Congress highlighted the significance of the recordings.

“It’s very significant...they don’t give a lot of these out. Particularly, not to art organizations,” Holmes said. “We have quite a rich history of music, art, and folk arty in our county. We want to invite everyone out.

It’s going to be a great evening, and we hope everyone can come and enjoy it.”

The original recordings are being digitally transferred by the Center for Popular Music at Middle Tennessee State University with the financial assistance of Tennessee Arts Commission’s Folklife Program. Highlights of the CD collection include some of the area’s finest fiddle players, string bands, vocal and instrumental soloists, gospel music ing they would give their share of the sales tax increase to the schools are necessary.

“I think it’s going to be a while before we get this all planned out,” Brown said.

However, he did mention two pressing concerns that were part of the proposed school building package: the leaky roof at McNairy Central High School and the bleachers at Adamsville Jr./Sr. High and Selmer Middle Schools.

“If we have buildings that are leaking...I don’t think we have months or years to think about putting a roof on one single building or we are going to have a lot more damage and it’s going to cost us a lot more money,” Brown said.

Jernigan said that projected revenues may be low.

Brown added that there needs to be a cushion in the budget estimates.

In response to a question, Miskelly listed the sites being considered for the new Selmer school.

They are the Teague property, on Highway 45 behind Walmart, the Sammy Kiser property on

Musicians hold a jam session in 1949 at the Latta Ford Motor Co. in Selmer. Many of these players were captured at the Stanton Littlejohn sessions around the same time.

Highway 142 across from the McNairy County Farmers’ Cooperative Farm Supply, the Highway 64/45 site, the Falcon Road property on the hill near the Justice Center, the Moore property on Highway 45 across from the car wash, the Anthony Knight property and the Maxedon property.

In response to a question, Chapman said the site with the most support on the board, though not the one he favors is the site below East-West Motor Freight on Highway 45.

School board Chairman Frank Lacey said this property would cost about $450,000.

“There wouldn’t be that much development cost, though,” Chapman added.

“Loose ends really concern everybody,” Wheeler said.

“We don’t feel like we have any loose ends. We feel like we haven’t had the opportunity to tell you, to present the whole thing to you,” Lacey said.

He said the board has talked to TDOT about road access, and they have the land prices and development costs.

“They beat this thing to

death. I think everything we’ve talked about, they’ve got...I think they’ve done a lot of that work. The problem is communication,” Lipford said.

Brooks agreed that the main problem is communication.

“We’re trying to get there. There is tension. I sense it,” he said.

“We can get all these to you,” Lacey added.

Lacey said the board planned to go to the communities and present all of this information.

“We’ve never been able to get that to you without people getting upset about other things,” he told the committees.

Lacey said the board could answer and wanted to answer all of these questions.

Wheeler listed the further information the commission would like to have about the proposal. It includes a site for the Selmer school, costs for site preparation, site access by road, public forums.

Chapman added utilities costs to the list.

Commissioner Carol Anne Woods added demographics and projected growth to the list.

Three-vehicle accident in Selmer slows lunchtime traffic last Monday

By Christen Coulon Editor

A three-car accident on East Court Avenue in Selmer last Monday put a major crimp in lunchtime traffic. The crash left all three vehicles damaged and one of the drivers in custody.

According to Patrolman Tony Westbrooks who provided the unofficial traffic crash report from the Selmer Police Department, the accident occurred near North Railroad Street shortly after noon when a 2004 Dodge Durango driven by Tabitha

Brooks turned onto Court Avenue and collided with a 1997 Nissan TXE traveling in the left lane of Court Avenue driven by Colton Whitten. As a result of the accident, Whitten’s truck then made contact with a 2006 Ford F-150 truck traveling in the right lane of Court Avenue which was driven by Micah Gray.

All three vehicles were damaged in the accident; however, no injuries were reported at the scene. Following the accident, Brooks was taken into custody for driving on a suspended Staff Photo by Christen Coulon license (failure to pay citation.)

Blackburn visits Selmer Middle School, recognizes Reward Schools

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn visited Selmer Middle School last Friday in order to recognize SMS, Michie Elementary School and Ramer Elementary School for being named as Reward Schools. The schools received this distinction for being in the top five percent statewide.

Blackburn read a letter honoring the schools that will be read into the Congressional Record.

“This is just so absolutely outstanding and deserved...and I think your students deserve to be recognized. It’s good for them to know that people are watching and paying attention, that we celebrate their success because this is both an individual and collective success to have achieved these goals,” Blackburn said about the honor.

“I’m honored to congratulate Selmer Middle School, Michie Elementary School and Ramer Elementary School for being named three of the 169 Reward Schools in the great State of Tennessee. You displayed gains in TCAP (Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program) as well as overall achievement and we celebrate the hard work and dedication of the students, teachers, parents and administrators. The strong and steady foundation that your schools are building for your children will surely strengthen their role in your community...You all are to be commended and it is a pleasure to recognize you,” Blackburn said.

Blackburn also spoke to the Independent Appeal about some issues that are in the news and before Congress.

She first spoke about the fiscal cliff, the expiration of tax cuts and the imposition of automatic spending cuts, that the Congressional Budget Office has predicted will throw the economy back into recession if Congress does not act by the end of

the year.

“What we should do is see Congress come to an agreement to extend all of the tax cuts from ‘01 and ‘03 and to reduce spending,” Blackburn said.

She noted that for the past 10 years she has introduced bills that would reduce spending across-the-board 1, 2 and 5 percent.

“Had we been doing that every year, a little bit a year, we would not be in this position.” Blackburn said.

Next, Rep. Blackburn was asked if she had any additional information about the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

“We had a briefing in D.C. last week which really was unproductive, and we didn’t find out anything new. I think it was unfortunate that the Administration tried to blame it on a video. Everybody knew this is a terrorist attack. It was carried out on 9/11 and we are continuing to look at what happened in Egypt and Libya. We are looking at the subsequent uprisings.

There is a train of thought and some evidence that would lead you to believe that it does have Al Qaeda ties, and we’re very concerned about that, and I think that this Administration ought to be concerned about it and be very focused on this,” Blackburn said.

Blackburn also spoke about a couple of other bills she has introduced.

The first is the Health Care Choice Act. “The Health Care Choice Act would allow seniors more choice and options, and this came from an idea from a town hall meeting. Seniors were saying, ‘We would like to have more choice and options.’

This all ties in to preserving our Medicare for our seniors. The government’s had first right of refusal on your paycheck. You have prepaid these benefits. It is not entitled...So my goal is to make sure seniors have those benefits and greater choices and options,” Blackburn said.

U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn visited Selmer Middle School in order to recognize the three McNairy County Reward Schools. She said a letter honoring their achievement that will be read into the Congressional Record and copies will be sent to the schools.

Blackburn, Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly, Selmer Middle School Principal Dr. Brenda Armstrong and SMS Assistant Principal Mickey Murphy. The three schools received the award for being in the top 5 percent in the state.

The bill would also allow consumers to purchase health insurance across state lines.

“What this does is repeal Title I of Obamacare and allows individuals to shop across state lines so that they have the ability to purchase whatever kind of health insurance they want at a better price,” Blackburn explained.

This is because allowing the purchase of health insurance across state lines would increase competition.

Blackburn has also introduced legislation to allow Tennesseans to deduct sales taxes on our federal income taxes.

This was the first bill Blackburn got passed when she went to Congress in 2003.

Extending this deduction is now part of the package extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, which expire at the end of the year.

“Allowing us to keep that deduction helps us avoid the fiscal cliff,” Blackburn said.

“I just love being home,” Blackburn concluded.

Blackburn represents the Tennessee’s 7th District, which includes McNairy County, in the U.S. House of Representatives.

County churches unite for fundraiser to benefit Scott

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Usually, when you wash your car, you have a pretty good feeling on the inside afterward. It is something like a feeling of accomplishment accompanied by a bit of vanity, knowing you are about to be driving around town looking good in a clean ride.

But, when you get your car washed for the price of a small donation that goes to help a young man taking his first steps toward returning home from a long stint in the hospital, the feeling you get when climb back into the car is one of purity and hope; the selfless acts of others accompanied by your willingness to give is far more satisfying than buffing in your own shine just to see yourself smile.

While a young man takes his first steps, literally and figuratively, toward coming home, the community that longs for his return is taking its first steps toward making that home a more comfortable place.

A multi-location benefit for Lucas Scott, a freshman at Adamsville High School, was held last Saturday in Adamsville and Selmer. Area church and youth groups formed a coalition of sorts to put on a car wash to raise money for Scott, who is expected to make his return home soon.

“He’s in rehab right now,” said Jane Ashe, who helped coordinate the event in Adamsville. “He’s learning to walk again. He was in a coma for so long that he lost a lot of the

muscle tone in his legs, so he’s taking his first few steps this week. Hopefully, discharge is within the next couple of weeks.”

Between the two car washes, which were located at Jim’s Best Stop in Selmer and Community South Bank in Adamsville, the group comprised of church members from an array of denominations raised more than $2,000 for Scott and his family.

Solitude Baptist, First Baptist-Adamsville, Good Hope Baptist, Stantonville Methodist, Kids for Christ, Savannah Church of Christ in Adamsville, First Baptist-Selmer, Lakeview Baptist and Full Gospel Fellowship in Selmer all came together to participate in the fundraiser to help Scott.

“When he comes home, he’s going to need lots of care, and lots of different things in the home,” Ashe said of the reasoning behind the benefit. “We thank everybody in McNairy County so much for everything that they’ve done.

The county’s just all kinda come together to do this.”

Scott’s long road home has not been an easy one thought things are looking up.

“He’s been in the hospital in Memphis since February of this year,” Ashe said. “He’s had pancreatitis after gallbladder surgery, and he developed lots and lots of complications. He’s been on the ventilator for several months, and he had to have dialysis because he had renal failure.”

Though the car wash was a one-day event, donations can still be made by contacting Ashe at (731) 610-2698.

Monthly foreclosures rise slightly

By Jeff Whitten

The number of foreclosures in Selmer increased two from August 2011. Other comparisons could not be made due to missing figures.

The foreclosure rate was similar for all three towns reporting – 1,404 for Selmer, 1,382 for Adamsville and 1,282 for Ramer.

Adamsville and Ramer’s rates were unchanged from the previous month.

There were 157 homes listed for sale in August, up slightly from the 152 in July and up sharply from nine in July 2011.

There were 31 bank-owned properties, up from 26 in July but down from the 85 in May 2011.

The average selling price increased from nearly $72,000 in July to nearly $95,000 in August.

Figures on list prices were unavailable.

With two foreclosures, Chester County had the lowest number in surrounding counties. Hardeman County had four and Hardin County had six.

At one foreclosure in 3,490 homes, Chester County had the lowest rate, followed by Hardeman at one in 2,713 and Hardin with a foreclosure rate of one in 2,324.

Tennessee had 2,384 foreclo-

As reported earlier in the Independent Appeal, Mayor Kay Cox told the meeting of the Bethel Springs Board of Aldermen that Police Chief T. E. “Pee Wee” Sowell had filed an age discrimination complaint against the city with the U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Commission.

“That’s all I’m going to say about it,” she said.

The Independent Appeal spoke with Henderson, Tenn., attorney John Talbott, who is representing Sowell in the matter, last Thursday.

He said that Sowell had filed a charge based upon age discrimination, based upon the “comments and actions” of the city.

Talbott said the matter is in the preliminary investigation stage, and a hearing has not been set to his knowledge. He explained that the EEOC would decide on what relief to grant Sowell if it rules in his favor.

“That’s all I can tell you at present,” Talbott said.

Sowell, who has been in law enforcement nearly 50 years, has been in conflict with Cox and other members of the board in recent months. He was suspended for allegedly altering a traffic ticket to a warning after it had been turned in to the office.

The Assistant District Attorney General’s office investigated the allegation and decided not to file charges against Sowell because it concluded that he acted without criminal intent.

After the large drop in foreclosures last month, foreclosures were up two for a total of six for the month. in McNairy County in August, according to RealtyTrac. This was down one from August 2011 and 15 from May 2011, when the Independent Appeal began keeping records.

This represented a rate of one foreclosure in 1,989 homes.

This was up from July’s rate of one in 2,983 and from the July 2011 rate of one in 2,373 but down from the May 2011 rate of one in 1,170.

Missing figures again made interpreting these numbers difficult.

Data were not available for Michie, Bethel Springs, Finger, Stantonville and Guys. Comparisons could also not be made for Selmer because figures were unavailable for last month.

However, in the two towns where comparisons could be made, Adamsville and Ramer, foreclosures held steady.

Selmer had three foreclosures, Adamsville had two and Ramer had one.

History comes alive at Davis Bridge commemoration

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Though Shiloh is the best-known Civil War battle conducted in the vicinity of McNairy County, it is not the only one. The Battle of Davis Bridge was fought near Pocahontas on Oct. 5, 1862. This 150th anniversary of this battle was commemorated by a living history day last Saturday.

The approximately 200 people who attended the commemoration heard the crackle of muskets, the roar of cannons and walked in the footsteps of the soldiers who fought at the battle.

We began on the heights of Metamora Ridge, above and across a cornfield from the Hatchie River. It was the goal of both the Union and Confederate forces to seize these heights and rain artillery down upon their opponents. The Yankees were successful in seizing the high ground first, and with their eight guns to the four of the Rebels, began firing at them. The Confederate force, after they failed to get to the ridge first, took up a defensive position across the cornfield at Davis house at Burr’s Branch.

We marched one mile across the cornfield in the steps of the Union troops who marched across the cornfield to meet the Confederates, to the Hatchie River. Along the way, a living history interpreter, offered his spellbinding account of the battle.

The Confederates were outflanked and their artillery was destroyed. They then retreated across Davis Bridge to a new defensive position west of the Hatchie River.

Union Maj. Gen. Edward O.C. Ord ordered his troops to cross the river and pursue the Rebels, but this time they were firing from the high ground. The Confederate fire inflicted heavy casualties on the Yankees and Ord’s subordinates argued with his decision to cross that bridge. Ord himself crossed the bridge, hoping to rally his troops but he was hit and severely wounded in the leg and Maj. Gen. Stephen A. Hurlbut took command.

This bloodying of the Union army bought Van Dorn’s scouts enough time to find another place to cross the Hatchie, Crumb’s Mill, six miles south of Davis Bridge, on Boneyard Road.

Van Dorn crossed his 500 wagons and artillery there while some of his troops were conducting a holding ac-

Union forces suffered 500 to 600 casualties and Confederates around 400. Confederate Gen. John Creed Moore lost nearly two-thirds of the men in his brigade, the most of any brigade in any battle of the Civil War. The Confederates retreated to Holly Springs, Miss. The Confederate army escaped destruction but were never again able to take the offensive in Mississippi.

Deputy completes animal cruelty investigation school Submitted McNairy County Sheriff Department

The McNairy County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce that Deputy Amy Ballard has completed a program of instruction presented by the University of Missouri. The School provided a combination of specialized veterinary and law enforcement training. The students were taught from experts in all areas of animal safety and welfare, and focused on animal control and humane laws. The end result is providing the students with the tools to recognize neglect and abuse cases and determine if it was intentional or as a result of lack of education or ability of the animal owner.

“We have needed this for some time and we were excited to get Deputy Ballard in this class, her training will be a valuable resource for the community. The ability to educate citizens and effectively prosecute the rare intentional abuse case is a milestone in McNairy County and I believe a step in the right direction.” Sheriff Guy Buck said.

Buck said he was is excited about having a deputy that has the specialized training in this area.

“The public expects a higher level of competency, the Sheriff’s Office is committed to moving forward in all areas, this is an area that the citizens have been vocal about and we are excited to better serve the citizens of McNairy County,” Buck said.

Opinion Independent Appeal

Making McNairy County Opinion headlines for more than 110 years

The new film “Won’t Back Down” introduces a new-to-most concept of parent-trigger laws – laws that enable parents at a school to call for the firing of teachers, closing the school, or turning it over to a private charter school operator.

The film suggests that the best way for parents to improve their child’s education is to use the parent-trigger law to “take over” the school and hand control over to a charter school. The film never takes into account the reality that parent-trigger laws have no track record of success.

While the movie offers a heartwarming story of a mother fighting for her child, it is just that – a heartwarming Hollywood story. The reality is that “Won’t Back Down” is divisive and designed to pit parents against teachers, school boards and the teachers union.

Public school teachers are portrayed as lazy and heartless, school board members as ineffective bureaucrats, and union leaders as obstructionists.

These characterizations are irresponsible and inaccurate. Demonizing teachers and education leaders is not a solution. As Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson wrote last week, “Portraying teachers as villains doesn’t help a single child.”

In a time when we all need to work together for the best interests of our students, this film pushes an agenda that is counterproductive to building the essential partnerships among all education stakeholders. Success only happens when we all come together for students.

Even parent groups – including the PTA, Parents Across America, Testing is Not Teaching, and Citizens for Strong Schools – have serious concerns about the spread of parent-trigger laws. Last April, these groups worked against a parent trigger law in Florida out of concerns it would lead to the takeover of public schools by charter school operators.

As a teacher, I know that the best way to ensure student success is through a strong partnership among parents, families, educators and communities. We’re all accountable for student success. For educators, that means reaching and motivating every student. For parents, that means instilling values of respect, responsibility and a love of learning. And for elected officials, it means providing students and teachers with the tools and resources they need to get the job done.

The Tennessee Education Association, educators and school boards across the state encourage parent involvement in education. We believe it is a crucial component for academic achievement, but “parent trigger” is not the same as “parent involvement.”

You did not walk out of the theater after watching “The Avengers” believing a team of superheroes would save the world. I encourage you to apply the same practical approach to “Won’t Back Down.”

Enjoy it as an entertaining Hollywood production – nothing more, nothing less.

Gera Summerford President, Tennessee Education Association

Test could save a life I am writing this letter in hopes to help someone or save someones life. Christie Bryant went to be home with the Lord Aug. 17.

Christie was sick for 25 years with M.S. The main cause for her death was not M.S. alone. Christie’s feeding tube was out of her stomach for how long?

Not sure, maybe three years?

I know Christie suffered for a long time with stomach infections, weight gain, starving to death.

X-rays were performed of her stomach, but not the right one. It took only five minutes to find her problem with the dye cast X-ray test.

If you have a loved one with a feeding tube and you see a problem, insist that the dye test be performed. It will save you and your loved one a lot of pain. It is too late for Christie here on Earth, but I am hoping her death will help someone else on Earth.

Thanks for all the prayers and love we have received all these years. If I can help please call (731) 852-4699.

God Bless.

Zack King (Selmer): “Personally, I think Obama is doing the right thing. I think he’s put in a lot of jobs, and if you look at 2008, when we didn’t have hardly any jobs, I think he’s built a lot and he really hasn’t had a chance to continue what he’s wanting to do, and I just think his policies, overall, are better than Mitt Romney’s.”

Charles Westbrooks (Selmer): “He’s a mighty good president. I think he’s doing everything he can do for us. I hope we have him for another four years.”

“They need to get rid of him— get him out of there because he ain’t helping nobody. He’s not sending the boys home like he’s supposed to. The boys need to be home with their parents and with their children.”

“I believe he’ll be reelected. I just hope he will do what he says he’s going to do.”

“Not a whole lot.

I just don’t think he’s going to do the country any good, myself.

Unfortunately, this year we just don’t have anybody to run against him that I think’s going to do any good.”

Letter to the editor

Resident urges pet owner responsibility A small black and brown dog was dumped in our driveway a week ago starved and completely eaten up with Sarcoptic mange.

He could not be saved. Our organization also received a little chihuahua who was seized due to neglect. Fortunately, we were able to save him and he is in foster care. The owner chose to turn him over to our investigator rather than face charges...sickening. This is so common in this county. We were fortunate to drive up to Clarksville and take seven puppies that will go up to a wonderful rescue in New York. All the while, coming out of our pockets. The McNairy County Paws in the Park on Oct. 27 starting at 11 a.m. is a fundraiser to assist low income residents to spay and neuter their pets. We have now saved a total of 1,900 McNairy dogs. The vast majority have been sent up north. We have also paid for spays and neuters for more than 25 McNairy dogs in the past six months out of our pocket. We need help to get the over-population under control in this county. All funds go directly to the care of the animals.

We have no paid employees. All are volunteers. Those who wish to donate money to help with this growing problem can do so by contacting our organization at krnorn5@gmail.com or by phone at (731) 439-1731.

I know when I was a teenager; my first born sibling asked this question regarding innocent children. I did not have an answer for him then, yet I knew he was asking out of an earnest heart. Obviously, when we grieve because of some personal trauma, we may wonder why. Why me, why now, or why so and so?

This is an age old question and it has a complicated answer. The answer is not what you may seem.

First, we may grieve because of some choice or decision we make. A simplified illustration is seen in my youth when I was swinging a hammer and missed striking the nail on the head and instead hit my thumb. I truly suffered pain, excruciating physical pain. I said it was simplified, but you get the idea, sometimes our consequences are a result of our own choices. This can get complicated. A loved one dies, we chose to love, we suffer from there loss. If I chose to eat more calories than I burn, I may gain weight, develop high blood pressure and/or other diseases as a result of my choices physically.

Second, we may grieve because of the choices of someone else. A child may sorrow because a loved one is gone and they do not understand why. They may ask why someone they love has left or they may blame themselves, though it is of no fault of their own. How do we explain to the very young this subject of pain, especially when we may have our own questions that remain unanswered? To begin we need to ask ourselves, did I strike the hammer and cause this pain or am I suffering indirectly as a consequence of others? We may need to seek some neutral objective viewpoint other than ourselves.

We may be too close to assess accurately. We will continue this thought next week. This is Sunrise.

Birds of a feather

By Dorothy Goodrum Contrtibutor

Have you heard birds of a feather flock together? I would like to tell you about a lady who works in Housekeeping, Ms. Delores Ellington.

Ms. Delores is from Smithville, Mississippi and moved to our area in 2006. She is the very proud mother of three children and four grandkids. She started to work here at McNairy County Health Care Center in 2008. Ms. Delores states she enjoys being part of our residents and their daily life. Her goal is to try her best to make their daily life easier. She said each one of them has a great story to tell.

So that is where the birds of feather come together. As you all know I

love to tell our resident’s stories. When I asked Ms. Delores who one of her favorite resident’s was she told me Mary Alice Domiano. I smiled because you see, I also enjoy being around Mary Alice.

She is not a southern girl but such a great lady with a sense of humor that can always make me smile. Mary Alice is originally from New Jersey.

She is the proud mother of three children; two daughters and one son.

When I asked her what she has done in her life she told me she held several jobs but the one she loved was she managed a ceramic studio. I told her I would love to see some of her works as I was assured it was beautiful.

By Jeff York Contributor

In recent months, some property and casualty insurers in Tennessee have filed to expand or shift their roofing policy terms to include actual cash value policies. As a result, the Department of Commerce and Insurance is reaching out to consumers to help them understand the difference in coverage.

Mary Alice Dominano and Ms. Delores more pieces.

She is a lady with a quick sense of humor and a great smile.

Her assistant for that day was in her room and she said, “Ms. Domiano do you love me a bushel and a peck?” Mary Alice replied, “I am not sure about that. maybe.” I laughed and said what about me? She smiled

and said, “you, I do love.” made this girl’s day, was a good Saturday Morning to write a story.

We are all different in our own way. The one thing Ms. Delores and I share is a love for our residents who have so many great stories to tell. Glad I get to tell them.

Until next time.

1. Actual Cash Value (ACV ) policies pay consumers for replacement costs minus any applicable depreciation. Depreciation can be thought of as “wear and tear” or age.

2. Replacement Cost policies pay consumers for what the damaged/ destroyed item or structure would cost in today’s dollars. These policies do not account for any wear and tear or for the age of the item.

Replacement Cost benefits will generally pay more for a claim than will ACV benefits. However, not all dwellings/ items will qualify for full replacement benefits – determinations may be made on a situation-bysituation basis as companies inspect properties to resolve coverages they may make available based on the property’s condition and the company’s underwriting guidelines.

For example, consider a hypothetical, $10,000 roof that is now five years old. Assume that the roof needs to be replaced entirely and the homeowner has a $1,000 policy deductible.

• Under an ACV policy, the insurance company may determine that $500 of wear and tear/ depreciation occurred each year since the roof was installed. At the time of the claim, the company would pay $6,500.

Depreciation would have reduced the payment by $2,500 (5 years multiplied by $500 wear and tear per year) and the $1,000 deductible would have reduced the payment the other $1,000.

The consumer would choose between making up the difference to pay for a roof of similar quality, or using the money to install a roof available at that price.

• Under a Replacement Cost policy, the insurance company would pay the amount required to replace the roof with similar-quality materials at today’s cost, minus the deductible. In the event that the same roof costs $11,000 at the time of the claim, the company would pay $10,000-$11,000 for the replacement roof, minus the $1,000 deductible.

(Note: Insurance companies may initially pay the actual cash value for the roof, $6,500 and then reimburse the difference following submission of a receipt.)

Tennessee insurance consumers should not feel that they must accept or keep a policy that does not cover their needs. TDCI encourages consumers to shop around when seeking a policy and at renewal to ensure that they receive the coverage that they want at a price that they can accept.

Cards first in West to clinch playoff berth Adamsville Trinity Christian

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Last season, the Cardinals destroyed the Lions 69-19 to improve to 3-0 in the district and clinch the championship. This year, it was much of the same as they rolled to another big victory and became the first team in West Tennessee to earn a playoff berth.

Nearly 90 minutes into a hard-fought district soccer match in which Adamsville hosted McNairy Central, the game was called a draw in overtime after an injury to junior Lady Bobcat defender Allyson Frye left her lying motionless at

her face and neck, causing her to suffer from what was reported to be a loss of feeling in her legs and feet.

McNairy Central and Adamsville players gathered on the field next to Frye and prayed while McNairy County Emergency Medical Services lifted her onto a stretcher before Hospital Wing arrived, landed on the field, and transported her to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis.

Homecoming blues: Bobcats stagnant in 35-0 loss to Eagles

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

McNairy Central hosted the Eagles from Chester County last Friday night but failed to come away with a victory to end homecoming week happily.

Chester County 35 McNairy Central 00

After the homecoming ceremonies had ended, there was still a game to play. The Bobcats entered week six desperate for a win.

Junior Issac Cagle took the field in the quarterback spot as Peyton McMahan was still sidelined by injury. Despite the effort and play by Cagle and the rest of the Bobcats, the Eagle defense was too much for the young offense, and the Bobcats were held scoreless in the game.

Coach Charlie Dampeer said that the team just had to continue getting

better. It was all valuable experience for his players and they are trying to put everything together.

The Bobcat defense came out to a strong start in the game, holding the Eagles off of the scoreboard until there were four minutes left in the first half.

Unfortunately for the Bobcats, a couple mental errors and a muffed punt allowed the Eagles to score three times before halftime.

After the kickoff opening the second half, the Eagles wasted no time getting on the score board marching down the field for a touchdown in less than two minutes. Chester County was held in check by the Bobcats for the rest of the game until late in the fourth quarter Staff Photo by Brian Azevedo when they found the end zone for the McNairy Central’s 2012 Homecoming Court: Freshman Taylor Wallace and escort Parker last time.

Four Bobcat golfers state-bound Set your sights on Friday night

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

Four Bobcat golfers qualified for the state tournament at WillowBrook Golf Course in Manchester, Tenn., after their solid finishes at the Region 8 A-AA Tournament, which was held at the Tennessee River Golf Club in Decaturville, Tenn., last Monday.

It was a wet and soggy day for everyone competing in the tournament, and despite stellar play, the Bobcat boys fell one stroke short of advancing to the state tournament as a team. Bolivar won the title with a 327 total.

Jason Kirk was the low scorer for McNairy with a 77, which was good enough for third place overall. Matt Chandler, who turned in an 83, qualified after defeating fellow teammate Dilan Miller and Trinity Christian Academy’s Blake Smith in a one-hole playoff after finish-

ing the first 18 holes deadlocked.

The rest of the Bobcats also finished well as John Hunter Powers shot 84 and Hunter Foote 85, but Bolivar was just a little better.

The Lady Bobcats were also in action on the course. Like the boys, they finished second as a team, falling short by one stroke to the Lexington Lady Tigers, who finished with a 199.

McNairy’s Kelly Beth Ernest turned in a 96 for third place overall, and Valerie Jones carded a 104 for fifth overall, earning both a chance at an individual state championship.

On a disappointing note, Adamsville senior Taylor Hutton missed the state qualifying cut for the first time in her high school career, finishing her day with a 114.

“I just dug myself too big of a hole to start out with,” Taylor said.

Bethel wraps up perfect season Cardinals outrun Mustangs with big homecoming victory

these last two games coming up.”

The Cardinals did step up, especially on defense. The young defense only gave up 14 points in the contest, eight of which did not come until late in the fourth quarter after Adamsville already had the game in hand.

The Cardinals failed to bring home a county championship this year, but the team looks ready to get back on track and end this season on a positive note. Adamsville (1-5, 0-4) will make a road trip to Riverside to play the Panthers this Thursday.

Preserving the perfect regular season, the Rebels dominated their regular season-ending, homecoming game against the Pickwick Southside Eagles.

Bethel Springs 52 Pickwick Southside 16

The county champs scored seven touchdowns and rolled to a 36-point win over Pickwick following their eighth-grade recognition and homecoming ceremonies at Bethel last Thursday.

The Rebel defense was menacing for the Eagle quarterback, who was sacked four times in the game while his team was held to 180 yards of offense.

Bethel scored in bunches as four Rebels

ran for touchdowns and three caught touchdown passes from Dylan Crabb. Mykeal Hudson led the team in rushing with 127 yards on just six carries, and Crabb threw for nearly 120, including his 60-yard connection with Dalton Gates.

The Rebels (6-0, 4-0) will sit back and wait for an invitation to the McKenzie Rebel Bowl at Bethel University, according to head coach Brian Franks. If it does not come, Bethel will pursue other postseason endeavors.

“It’s good to finally get a win,” said head coach Michael Harvill. “A lot of people really stepped it up this week as some of our key players were out. I’m proud of all of them. They worked hard, and it payed off this week. We’ll see if we can carry forward some of this momentum into

Browder fired from Long Beach

By Jeff York Contributor

LONG BEACH, Miss. – Former McNairy Central coach Tommy Browder was relieved of his job as head football coach at Long Beach High School this past week in a surprising dismissal.

The veteran coach had led the school to the state playoffs three straight years before getting off to a winless start this season.

Browder said he had no idea his job was in jeopardy until he was told by Long Beach Superintendent of Schools Carolyn Hamilton that he was being let go as

head coach of the Bearcats last Monday. The coach believes two parents had complained to Hamilton because he had yelled at their sons.

“She had not warned me or anything,” said Browder.

“The only two times I ever talked to her was when she hired me and when she fired me.”

Browder is the only coach to have left Long Beach with a winning record, including a region title in 2010. The Bearcats had only been to the playoffs twice in school history before Browder’s arrival in 2009.

The stress from his firing led to a hospital trip Tuesday

morning when Browder felt chest pains. He wore a heart monitor for two days and everything checked out okay.

A coach has separate contracts in Mississippi for coaching and teaching. The coach’s contract is ‘at-will’ and that means you can be fired without cause.

Browder is now on medical leave and still has a job as a teacher at Long Beach.

“I do not think I am through coaching because I do not want to go out like this deal,” said Browder.

While Browder enjoys life on the Gulf Coast, he does not rule out a return to Tennessee.

Six obtain perfection, Gray wins tiebreaker

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Overall, our pickers had a really strong showing in Week Five of Top O’ The River’s 2012 Beat the Coaches: College Football Pick’em.

All four coaches finished the week 4-1, along with six of our contestants, but six pickers managed to beat the coaches and finish the week 5-0. Carlean Gray, of Michie, won the tiebreaker and a $20 gift certificate with a perfect score prediction for our game of the week to match her 5-0 finish.

In the game of the week, the Bulldogs and Volunteers combined for 95 points in Georgia’s 51-44 win over Tennessee. Renee Hembree, of Bethel Springs, predicted a total of 69 points, Tyler Alexander, of Leapwood, predicted a total of 56 points, Roger Jenkins, of Counce, predicted a total of 52 points, Gary Curlin, of Bethel Springs, predicted a total of 50 points, and Larry Doles, of Ramer, predicted a total of 48 points, making Gray’s margin of victory a not-so-narrow one.

There were only two contestants to finish with less than three correct selections as Texas A&M rolled to a 52-10 victory over still win-less Arkansas, Ohio State survived a 17-16 stinker against Michigan State, Texas squeaked past Oklahoma State in a 41-36 shootout, and Nebraska stormed back to defeat Wisconsin 30-27.

Amongst the coaches, Michael Stroup is our overall leader with an 18-7 record, but Rennard Woodmore is close behind at 17-8. Brandon Alldredge and Brandon Gray are now tied with Houdini’s Prestige at 14-11.

Houdini finished last week 3-2 after going out on a limb with Arkansas and Tennessee playing SEC road games. This week, ‘dini’s going for perfection.

The horse is taking the No. 4 LSU Tigers over the No. 10 Florida Gators in a showdown of SEC undefeateds. He likes Vanderbilt and Jordan Rodgers to put the newcomer Missouri Tigers at 0-3 in the SEC. He also wants to see No. 11 Texas top No. 8 West Virginia in a matchup between two teams that combined to score more than 110 points last week. In our game of the week, top 10 SEC foes will do battle when the No. 5 Bulldogs of Georgia travel to South Carolina to take on Steve Spurrier and the No. 6 Gamecocks.

Remember, if you would try and beat the coaches for a chance to win a tasty meal courtesy of our friends down at Top O’ The River on Hwy. 57 in Michie, submit your picks for week six to our office at 111 N. Second St. in Selmer by 5 p.m. Friday. If you can’t stop by the office, entries can be emailed to reporter1@independentappeal.com or faxed to our office at (731) 645-3591 by 10 a.m. Saturday.

Volleycats top JCM, start new win streak

By Andrew Alexander

West TN Indians win

MCHS vs JCM-Sept. 27

Sports Writer

Coming off five straight losses, McNairy Central was ready to turn its losing tides into waves of winning. They did just that when they hosted the Jackson Central-Merry Lady Cougars for a varsity double-header last Thursday.

The Volleycats made light work of the Cougars in the first match, winning in straight sets.

Tiffany Winebrenner led the team with 14 service points, and fellow senior Zipporah Woods was right behind her with 13.

In the second match of the evening, MCHS head coach Melody Price saw the opportunity to get some younger players some valuable gametime experience, and she took advantage of it.

Winebrenner led the team in service points once again, but the Volleycats got production from just about everyone on their roster, winning the match 3-1.

McNairy Central (9-10, 4-6) was scheduled to host Camden Christian on Oct. 1, but that match was canceled. The Volleycats hosted Chester County last Tuesday after deadline.

Frye said the incident was “very scary,” but the doctors told her she should make a full recovery, and she may be able to return to the field within two weeks.

The injury and subsequent draw came during a crucial, late-season match between county rivals. Counting the shortened match, Adamsville and McNairy Central have played to a tie at the end of regulation in each of the schools’ last three meetings.

The Lady Cardinals (4-2-3, 3-1-1) went on to host Liberty last Thursday, and they came away with their second scoreless draw of the week.

“We didn’t get many shots and gave them too many open looks,” said McNairy Central head coach Jerry Lott. “We had a good effort, but just couldn’t get anything going on the offensive end.”

The Lady Bobcats put just eight shots on goal while the Lady Eagles took 16, although Holly Moore played a solid game at goalkeeper for MCHS, coming away with 14 saves in the contest.

tion and picked up a district win over the Scotts Hill Lady Lions on Sept. 24.

“It was good to get back to playing after we had to cancel three games last week,” Lott said after the contest. “Our timing was a little off on the offensive end, but we still managed to score four goals.”

Though their timing may have been off, that did not stop the team from taking lots of shots. MCHS had more than 45 in the game.

Porsha Chappell, Mary Kate Doyle, Haven Phelps, and Madi Rose Hammock all found the net for MCHS goals, and Shawna Roten and Rebekah Lowrie were both credited for an assist apiece.

Tigers claw Lions

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The always competitive Selmer Lions met their match last Thursday when they traveled to Hardin County to take on the Tigers.

The Lions’ only score of the ballgame came courtesy of a Logan Roberts touchdown run in the second half.

Chase Wallace punched in the twopoint conversion for Selmer to bring their point total to eight, but the damage had already been done.

The Tigers, who got off to a quick start, led 22-0 at halftime. They hammered home another touchdown in the second half to nail down the 22-point victory over the Lions.

First season comes to end for Lady Cards

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Though their season was not a success by the win-loss standard, the Adamsville Junior High Lady Cardinals grew as softball team in the program’s first season.

The Lady Cards wrapped up their season last Monday with a road double-header against Chester County. The Lady Eagles took both contests, sticking Adamsville with an 0-6 record for the year.

Chester County won the first game 9-0. Kaci Gladish pitched all four innings for AJHS, struck out two, walked four and gave up four hits.

Gracie Hutton had Ad-

amsville’s only hit in the game.

The Lady Cards put back-to-back scoring innings together late in the second game but still fell 10-3.

Makenna Harwell got the start, and Kayla Baldwyn relieved her in the third inning. Baldwyn, Brittany Clausel, and Danea Grisham each batted in a run.

Adamsville’s junior high softball players are eligible to dress on the high school’s varsity and junior varsity teams. This is a luxury the Lady Cardinal softball program will enjoy as it presents the opportunity to develop the skills of their younger Photo by Tee Hutton players for years to come. AJHS’s Abby Martin makes a catch at second base.

of Adamsville’s 420 rushing yards in the 24-point trampling of the Lions. He also accounted for four touchdowns.

“Our offensive line did a great job,” said Cardinal head coach Brandon Gray, “but the thing about it is, Zak’s special.

He is a game-changer...He’s not gotten back in game-shape yet. He’s lost a little bit there, but we just gotta work hard to get him back in shape and keep everybody healthy.”

Neary was not the only Cardinal to come back from an injury. John Reed Odom also returned to action, and his contributions were a factor in the outcome. Odom broke a 19-yard touchdown run with less than a minute left in the second quarter to give AHS a comfortable 28-14 lead at halftime, and he also intercepted a pass in the second half.

The Cardinals gave up 14 more points after halftime, but they scored four more times to put the game out of reach.

Adamsville forced three turnovers in the contest, the first of which came on a Jacob Wallis interception on TCA’s first play from scrimmage. Wallis accomplished the same feat the week before with a first-play interception on Collinwood’s opening drive.

Dalton Plunk connected with Ross Burcham in the second half for a score, giving the combo their sixth touchdown hookup of the season.

The Lions did manage to score more points on the Cardinals than any other opponent has this year, but with the ground-game churning out a huge performance, the defense that was allowing less than 10 points a game coming into the contest had room to bend.

Though they have won six games in a row and are the No. 4 2A team in the state, the Cardinals (6-1, 3-0) will not be able to afford too much bending this Friday against the Hardin County Tigers (6-0, 2-0), who are averaging more than 42 points per game and come into the contest looking for revenge after a three-point loss to AHS last season.

“This is going to be a playoff-type atmosphere,” said Gray.

“We’re going to go into it with that mindset. Just kinda get used to the lights and the crowd. We know we’re going to be in the playoffs, and (Hardin County) is the type competition you’re going to have to play if you want to play on 12-1 (Dec. 1 – The date of the Class 2A State Championship).”

Quarterback Ryan Nixon also had a good game, throwing and rushing for a touchdown.

The new program will offer three majors including: the Associate of Science in Accounting, the Associate of Science in Information Technology, and the Associate of Arts in General Studies (for those who are undecided on a major).

According to Associate Degree recruiter John Norwood, the interesting design of the program makes it unique for any potential student to choose from three different learning options based on their current weekly schedule.

“The Traditional learning option will be for those who wish to expe-

rience the full effect of being a college student,” Norwood said. “This method matches up to the traditional scheduling of classes and allows for participation in any sports or other extra-curricular activities on campus, and it allows students the option to reside on campus all while working toward a degree.

“The Hybrid option is for those who wish to experience as much of the traditional college experience as possible by mixing both the in-classroom learning experience with some online classes as well. This allows for the flexibility to better balance obligations in the classroom with practices, rehearsals, or even a part-time job.

“The Online-Non-Traditional option is for those who already have obligations which would prohibit them from attending class in a traditional setting. All classes are offered online

with no requirement to attend a physical class,” Norwood said.

As with traditional Bethel students, laptops will be provided with tuition to all new students.

“This will assist in reducing the need to purchase a big ticket item on the front end,” Norwood said.

For more information about the new Bethel Associate Degree, please visit www.bethelu.edu/associates or call John Norwood at (731) 415-6508.

Interested individuals may also email norwoodj@bethelu.edu for more information.

Headquartered in McKenzie, Bethel University is affiliated with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. It offers associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees through a number of learning platforms. For more information about Bethel University, go to www.bethelu.edu.
