The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation arrested a former jail administrator on theft and misconduct charges after he was indicted by the McNairy County grand jury on theft and misconduct charges Oct. 8, according to a press release from the TBI. Doug King, 30, of Selmer, was in-

dicted on one count of theft of property between $1,000 and $10,000, two counts of misconduct, and one count of tampering with evidence.

After an internal investigation, Sheriff Guy Buck referred this matter to the 25th Judicial District Attorney General’s office, which requested a TBI investigation into allegations of missing funds last August.

King was then fired after admitting to a TBI agent that he took cash

from the booking cash machine at the Sheriff’s Department.

The investigation revealed that approximately $8,500 was taken from the jail between Jan. and Aug. 2012.

“It’s terrible to think that someone in a trusted position within the Sheriff’s office could be responsible for this theft, we hold our employees to a high standard,” Buck

Store owners fined for synthetic drugs

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The owners of a Selmer convenience store and an Adamsville convenience store each pleaded guilty earlier in the year to violation of the state’s synthetic drug law, according to Asst. Selmer Police Chief and McNairy County Narcotics Investigator Kim Holley.

Arif Almudhala, owner of the Selmer Citgo, was fined $500 and paid court costs for violating Tennessee Code Annotated 39-17-438, which prohibits the manufacture, production, distribution

or possession of synthetic Cannibinoids (marijuana), according to the McNairy County Court Clerk’s office.

He was granted a diversion, which means the case would be dismissed upon payment of the fine, court costs and refraining from such activity in the future. The case was dismissed last March. Under the agreement, half of the $3,000 in cash which was seized in the raid was returned to Almudhala.

AiM’s Music Homecoming brings local talent to the spotlight

Staff Photos by Janet Rail and Christen Coulon

Arts in McNairy presented a Music Homecoming concert last Saturday to celebrate the recordings made by Stanton Littlejohn of Eastview, in the 1940’s and 1950’s. Several of the artists featured in these recordings or their family members took the Latta stage to share their music in a jam-style session. All proceeds from last Saturday’s event will benefit future preservation efforts. Throughout the evening a star-studded lineup dazzled the audience. (Right) “David Killingsworth and Steve Killingsworth along with Ronnie and Wayne Whitten perform an old-time music set, (Left) The Hatchie Bottom Boys with Neal English, Joe Garrett, Peck Boggs, Bo English, Junior Goodrum and Gerald Kennedy perform a bluegrass set, and (Center) Sandy Carroll livened up the stage with a rockabilly/blues set backed by the legendary W.S. Holland Band.

Schools recognize achievement, gear up for future

By Jeff Whitten

Ronnie Teague, Career and Technical Education Director, announced that the schools had received a $775,000 GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs”) grant.

“The simplest way to define it is strictly career awareness,” Teague said.

Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly told the meeting that Selmer Elementary School had received a $200,000 Focus School grant.

“We are pleased to announce that Selmer Elementary has been awarded, through the state, a Focus School grant,” Miskelly said.

This is a two-year grant that will begin in January and is $200,000 a year for two years.

“The purpose is to help Selmer Elementary, which was identified as a Focus School this year,” Miskelly said.

This money can be spent for two positions.

Statewide livestock judging winners from McNairy Central High School Grant Saum, Tyler Mitchell, Brad Hunt and Colton Smith were recognized by the board.

Saum, Mitchell, Hunt and Smith are representing Tennessee in the national contest this week in Indianapolis, Ind. “That’s pretty dang good,” Teague said.

Teague also announced that MCHS Agri-

The McNairy County School Board approved applying for one large grant, and it was announced that the school system had received two other grants at their Oct. 9 meeting.

The school district will be applying for Race to the Top funding, which would amount to $10 million for the schools over four years.

This federal grant for schools that innovate is very competitive, but McNairy could receive one, according to Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly.

“This would be a real feather in the McNairy County school system’s hat,” Miskelly said.

This money can be used for technology, training, professional development and personnel but not on buildings or structures, Miskelly said.

The state application has been reviewed and will serve as a model for the county’s application, Miskelly told the meeting. Though the money comes indirectly from the federal government, the counties apply to the state for funds it has been awarded from Washington.

School Board Chairman Frank Lacey recognizes winners from the state livestock judging contest at the the Oct. 9 meeting. Pictured are Lacey, McNairy Central High School Future Farmers of America advisor Rod Barnes, Brad Hunt, Tyler Mitchell and Colton Smith. Grant Saum also won but was unable to attend.

The board voted to accept the low bid of $22,130 from Integrated Communication for radios for the transportation department.

The Extended Contract Proposal was approved. The state provides annual funding for extended learning activities through extended contracts for educators. Funding this year was cut from $122,000 last year to $77,000, Miskelly told the board.

culture teacher Rod Barnes has been named Ag Teacher of the Year.

“We’re real proud of him, too,” Teague said.

Rather than holding an auction to sell surplus computer equipment, the board, at the recommendation of Miskelly, voted to sell the equipment by a sealed bid process instead.

Highway 45 accident claims life of local man

By Christen Coulon Editor

A three-vehicle accident on Highway 45 in Eastview last Wednesday claimed the life of a 19-year-old Selmer man, Tanner L. Anderson, and caused significant damage to a local home and left another man injured.

According to a Tennessee Motor Vehicle Fatality Report provided by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, the accident occurred at 7:33 a.m. when the 1996 Geo Tracker UT driven

by Anderson, which was traveling northbound on Highway 45, drifted into the right northbound lane and struck a 2005 International Eagle tractor trailer driven by Bernice H. Sweeney of Red Bay, Ala. Following this initial accident Anderson’s Geo then crossed into the southbound lanes of the road colliding head-on with a 1999 Mack CH6 tractor trailer carrying a large log skidder driven by Andy L. Brown of Corinth, Miss.

Anderson’s vehicle sustained significant damage following the impact and was left burning in the southbound lane. Brown’s tractor trailer continued off the right side road driving through a home owned by Kenneth Locke at 3479 Highway 45 before coming to rest at a treeline nearly 60 yards from the road. The log skidder on the trailer of Brown’s vehicle was knocked off the truck following the collision with the house. Brown sustained non-life threatening injuries in the accident, and Sweeney and the passenger in her vehicle were not injured.

According to Trooper Kennie Lamberth who performed the investigation for the THP, the home was a total loss. Two pets were inside the home when the accident occurred, a poodle named Curley that survived and a parrot named Gilligan which did not.

The occupant of the home, Lisa Miller, said that a friend had invited her to visit in Corinth, Miss .the night before the accident and that initially she said she wasn’t going.

However, on the spur of the moment, Miller decided to visit her friend and stayed the night.

“I’m a big homebody...I’m certain I wouldn’t be alive today if I was there,” Miller said “I wouldn’t have lived if I hadn’t went to my friend’s house.”

Miller, who spends less than five nights per year on average away from her home, said that the accident has changed her perspective on life.

“I lost everything but my washer and dryer, but I didn’t care about what I lost when I found out (Anderson) was involved,” Miller said. “He was a good young man.”

According to a Tennessee Department of Safety database last Monday, Anderson’s death marks the 780th traffic fatality in Tennessee and the 8th traffic fatality in McNairy County in 2012. Tennessee and McNairy County have both seen a significant rise this year in driving related deaths compared to 2011. Last year, Tennessee roads saw 744 deaths with just six of those occurring in McNairy County.

According to the report, Wheeler sold three morphine pills for $140 at Pappy John’s Barbecue in Selmer on Aug. 9.

told the Independent Appeal then.

Buck also commended the jail staff for working long hours under adverse conditions doing a difficult and thankless job that most people would not want to do and said he hoped that the actions of this one employee would not discredit the reputation of the jail staff.

lating the same law last May. He was also granted a diversion, under which he can petition the court for expungement of the plea after 11 months and 29 days.

These establishments were raided last November.

These drugs were made illegal under state law in 2010 and declared a “drug of concern” by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

They typically consist of a benign plant material coated with a synthetic cannibinoid compound, designed to

From Page 1A

From Page 1A

mimic the effect of marijuana. These compounds are chemically similar to THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

However, anecdotal evidence from law enforcement and medical personnel suggest that these synthetic drugs are more harmful than the real thing.

“This is a plant material that is soaked in chemicals and God knows what else. The high is more intense, more hallucinations, more along the lines of LSD and PCP,” Buck said at the time of the raids.

These products are sold under the brand names of White Widow and Tokin, and a container typically sells for $15-$20.

Two fires in Stantonville

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Two fires in Stantonville last week challenged the resources of local volunteer fire departments.

Neighbors rescued a Stantonville woman after her house caught fire last Thursday. Bobby and Ginger Brown, who live on Charlie Pounds Road, rescued a woman who was trapped after her house caught fire. The woman was transported by Emergency Medical Services ambulance for medical treatment for possible smoke inhalation. The Stantonville and Lawton volunteer fire departments responded to the fire and contained it before it could

do much outward damage to the home.

According to McNairy County Fire Chief Darrell Goodrum, who was also on the scene, the blaze apparently started in the kitchen when the stove caught fire. He said there was fire damage to the kitchen and smoke damage to other parts of the home.

A house on Highway 142 near Stantonville owned by Casey Redmon burned down last Saturday night.

The Stantonville, Michie and Pleasant Site volunteer fire departments responded to the call.

“There was fire from one end of the house to another when we got there,” said Larry Raines, Stantonville Mayor and volunteer firefighter.

Guys challenges other cities to support J C Shopping Spree Janet Rail Publisher

The mayor and board of aldermen met last Monday and voted unanimously to give $500 to support the J C Shopping Spree for needy children in the county.

“We always give money to the J C Shopping Spree and I would like to make a motion we go ahead and make a contribution of $500 like we did last year so that they will know they have that money to use,” said Alderman Chris Howard.

“I believe that is money well spent and I challenge all other cities to also donate to this great cause,” said Mayor Keith Rinehart.

The city agreed to advertise the sale of approximately six, 14 inch H beams from the bridge on S. Gin Road for .20 cents per pound on a first come, first serve basis and moved at buyers expense.

City Recorder Mary Simmons reported the need to move some money around to prevent the savings account from becoming dormant. The board agreed to transfer $100 from checking into savings. The total balance of checking and money market as of Sept. is $237,373.45. In addition last years audit is being prepared to send to the city’s CPA for review.

“We are still waiting on Steve Redmon to get back to us on the quotes for patching

the roads,” said Alderman Rinehart. “We will look into other bids for our commercial work and get back to the board,” said Mayor Rinehart.

Perry Stricklin, Fire Chief, reported the purchase of training for him and two other volunteer firemen for the TN River training the first week of Nov. for $50 each. The board approved reimbursement to Stricklin for the training.

“Everything is completed for the grants for the fire truck and we will be working with Shannon Cottter of Southwest Community Development Block Grants to assure we have guidelines to purchse demo trucks,” said the mayor.

“We were invited to Ramer School and Ramer Baptist Church for the trunk or treat so we will be attending and giving candy to the children attending,” said Stricklin. No emergencies were reported this month.

Alderman Wayne Henry sent a report to the board regarding a potential bid for the work on the building repair and recovering the end gable for approximately $3,000. “As long as the repairman has a certificate of insurance we can consider him,” said Howard.

Several families’ deposits were turned in from rentals of the town center. In old business the minutes and financials of the Sept.

17 meeting were approved and a final motion to pay all bills prior to adjournment.

The Adamsville City Commission approved a proposal by Mayor David Leckner to minimize the likelihood of future water outages at their meeting last Monday.

“I like to call it a successful failure. A failure in the fact that it happened, a success in the way everybody jumped on it and got it handled as quickly as they did,” Leckner said.

Leckner proposed immediately locating valves and marking them with standard signs as well as electronically and put on a GPS mapping system. Under the plan, all of the master water lines would also be found and marked.

(For more information on the water outage see page 6A.) In other news from the meeting, Leckner announced that both Community Development Block Grants have been approved and the paperwork will be forthcoming. The two grants are just shy of $1 million dollars and require only a total match of around $150,000.

The commission approved switching city employees’ life insurance coverage to

The commission also approved moving $300,000 from the water account into a certificate of deposit. Simon said the city would go to local banks to see which one has the best rate. The water department would still have $279,000 in its checking account to run the department with.

The commission approved an ordinance on temporary residential dwellings, which are defined as travel trailers, recreational vehicles and mobile homes placed on an individual lot on a temporary basis. Under the ordinance, these structures will only be allowed on the same residential lot as a residential structure that has been damaged by fire, flood, wind or other act of God or man for six months. The temporary structure must be removed immediately after construction or rebuilding of the principal structure on the lot.

The commission approved a contract with TCM to collect delinquent accounts.

Under the contract, TCM’s fee will be 35 percent of the gross proceeds of delinquent accounts. This is down from the 40 percent the city is currently paying.

Bethel acknowledges lawsuit

By Christen Coulon

news

STATE OF TENNESSEE GENERAL ELECTION McNAIRY COUNTY, TENNESSEE NOVEMBER 6, 2012

Editor

Bethel Springs held its monthly meeting last Monday night. Mayor Kay Cox began the meeting with a prayer and an announcement about a money jar placed on the board’s table to raise money to help local children receive a better Christmas.

Following the Mayor’s announcement the floor was opened for 15 minutes for scheduled public discussion.

Audience member Sherry Smith began with questions for the board regarding proper procedures for community members to be recognized to speak on the agenda.

She also questioned the accounting of Bandy Burney’s job, inquiring whether Burney was paid as an officer or an employee of the street department at the time of this transfer. Smith also questioned the accuracy of the new water meters being placed in the town.

The board then approved the financial statement and Mayor Cox addressed a matter on the statement before the board.

“I don’t like rumors, especially when they are about me,” Cox said.

She addressed a line item on the financial statement concerning a payment to North East Mississippi Regional, the town’s trash collector. Cox pointed out that this company was not North East Mississippi Medical, a company to whom she said she had family medical bills.

“I’m sick of people saying the town is paying my medical bills,” Cox said.

In the water report the town said that its monthly water loss was measured at 25 percent.

Cox announced that the street department would be working to clear ditches and cut limbs before inclement weather hits.

The board then voted to amend the zoning ordinance preventing the replacement of old trailers. The board approved a plan to allow replacing trailers while still preventing the addition of trailers on new plots of land.

Cox also discussed the town’s receipt of nearly $1 million in grant monies slated for water meters, assistance in hooking up to Selmer’s water system, state of the art tornado sirens, generators and a new fire truck.

In other matters Cox acknowledged a lawsuit filed against the town by Jeremy Qualls, a former Bethel Springs employee. Little was discussed as to the specifics of the case, however, Cox said the suit was filed because, “Doctors said he couldn’t work in the sunshine.”

The board also reduced the speed limit to 20 m.p.h. on North Parkway, addressed a concern about the repeated disappearance of street signs for Sandy Flat Road and reminded residents to place 911 signs in front of their homes to make it easy for rescue personnel to find proper address in an emergency.

Selmer meeting goes live online

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The Oct. 9 meeting of the Selmer Mayor and Board of Aldermen was streamed live on the Internet for the first time.

They had planned to stream the September meeting, but technical difficulties prevented this.

“We were going to go live last month, and I’m assured we’re going live this month.

Y’all smile, you’re on candid camera,” Mayor David Robinson said.

In the nine-minute meeting, the board approved the Park and Recreation Department’s fiveyear recreation plan. The plan was presented to the board by Park and Rec. Director Sybil Dancer. The department was benchmarked by the state in 2008.

“It makes you stand up to an excellence in your policies and procedures

and things that are going on. It’s time for us to redo this again,” Dancer told the board.

The only other actions taken by the board w to declare five old pickup trucks owned by the Utility Department surplus property and to approve the permit for the Park and Recreation Department’s Veterans Day Parade.

Alderman Chris Tull told the meeting that if anyone had ideas on how to honor former Selmer Alderman Maurice F. Hamm, they should contact him at the airport or contact the Mayor.

“We ought to consider doing something fitting for Mr. Hamm as long as he served the city and what he’s done for the city,” Tull said.

The taps of many Adamsville water customers were dry for several hours last Wednesday as a water line was cut.

A contractor doing a road bore cut a 12-inch line near the main water plant, according to City Administrator Steve Simon. Some of Adamsville’s 3,000 water customers had water flow though reduced pressure, but many lost water service altogether.

Utility crews had repaired the line by 5 p.m.

Simon told the Independent Appeal last Thursday that water pressure was returning to normal.

“We’re happy today,” Simon said about the water service being restored.

Though the phones never stopped ringing during the outage, Simon said it was amazing how understanding customers were.

There is a one-call process in Tennessee that is supposed to prevent this type of incident. It involves a call to 811 to notify the local call-before-you-dig center.

Digging activity damages a utility line in the U.S. every three minutes and one-third of these incidents happen because the free call to 811 was not made. If the call is made, there is only a one percent chance of damaging a utility line.

“We’re still investigating to see what happened,” Simon said.

Mcnairy voices Do you think future generations will be better off than we are? Why?

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Let me ask you a question: Whoever gets the most votes from voters like you, either Obama or Romney, will be elected president.

Right?

Not necessarily.

The actual votes cast by voters like you is called the popular vote. This is how we elect all offices in our country except two.

The president and vice-president are elected by what is called the electoral vote.

How many electoral votes each state gets is equal to the number of Congressmen plus two, for the number of Senators. Tennessee has 11 electoral votes. There are a total of 538 electoral votes and it takes 270 for a majority.

When you vote, you will actually be electing a slate of electors pledged to the presidential candidate you “vote” for. In all states but a few, whoever wins the statewide popular vote, wins all of the state’s electoral votes. In a couple of small states, whoever wins a congressional district gets one electoral vote and whoever wins the statewide popular vote gets two.

The process for selecting the electors varies in different states, but generally, the parties choose the electors at their state party conventions or their central committee chooses them.

The electors are bound only by their honor and sometimes state law or party rules, to vote for the candidate they are pledged to, though they almost always vote for that candidate. There is no provision in the Constitution or federal law requiring them to do so. Some state laws fine “faithless electors” or disqualify and substitute another elector for them. However, no elector has ever been prosecuted for failing to vote as pledged.

To my knowledge, there are no such provisions in Tennessee law.

After the November election, the governor in each state certifies the winning candidate and electors for that state.

The winning electors meet in each state on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December. The vote for president and vice-president on two separate ballots and the results are forwarded to Congress and the National Archives.

The electoral votes are then opened and counted in a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6. The vice-president, who presides over the Senate, also presides over this joint session, which is held in the House Chamber, and announces the results of the vote.

The winner of the national popular vote almost always wins the electoral vote, too. However, a candidate can win the electoral vote even though he got fewer popular votes than his opponent, particularly when the popular vote is exceedingly close.

The winner of the popular vote has lost the electoral vote three times in our history, in the Rutherford B. Hayes/Samuel Tilden election of 1876, the Grover Cleveland/Benjamin Harrison election in 1888 and the George W. Bush/Al Gore election of 2000.

If no one wins a majority of the electoral vote, the House elects the president with each state getting one vote based on the wishes of the majority of its delegation and the Senate elects the vice-president.

This has happened twice in our history. In 1800, presidential candidate Thomas Jefferson tied with his running mate, Aaron Burr. It took the House 36 ballots and it was only after Jefferson’s arch-enemy Alexander Hamilton threw his support to Jefferson, that he was elected. Burr later killed Hamilton in a duel. After this, the Constitution was amended so there would be separate ballots for president and vice-president.

In 1824, none of the four candidates received a majority of electoral votes. John Quincy Adams was elected by the House, despite getting fewer electoral votes than Andrew Jackson. Third-place finisher Henry Clay, threw his support to Adams and was appointed Secretary of State.

Jackson’s supporters called this a “corrupt bargain” and Jackson was elected president four years later.

The Electoral College was created as a compromise at the Constitutional Convention between the large states, which wanted to elect the president by popular vote, and the small states, which wanted Congress to elect the president and vice-president. Though it has been tried, it is extremely difficult to amend the Constitution to elect the president by the popular vote. It is against the interests of the small states and they hold influence disproportionate to their population in the Congress and in the process to amend the constitution. They have equal representation in the Senate and it only takes one-third of the members plus one in either house of Congress or a like proportion of state legislatures or specially called ratifying conventions to defeat a constitutional amendment.

Roger Thomas Hill (Selmer): “Yes, because we are improving on things every day—just look at my lifetime.

It’s come from just the average automobile to where we are now—microwave ovens, cellphones and improvements in medicine.”

Jim Pierce (Selmer): “Well, if the people in Washington do their job right and people pay attention to what they’re doing, yeah, I think so.”

Sabrina Borner (Selmer):

Christy Cook (Selmer):

Lonnie Bray (Ramer):

Judy McMahan (Selmer):

“No, I think it will be worse.”

“No, because there is so much technology—that is a good thing or a bad thing—and they use it for bad sometimes.”

“Let’s hope so.”

“I don’t believe so. If they are, they’re going to have to shake a leg and get up and go to work and then I hope the economy gets a whole lot better for then than it is for us.”

Fall care advice for healthy lawns

By Melinda Myers Columnist

Summer can be hard on our lawns.

With much of the country suffering from extreme heat and drought conditions this past summer, many lawns took a beating.

Fall is the perfect time to help your lawn recover from the stressors of summer and prepare for winter. The warm soil and cooler temperatures promote root growth and thickening of the lawn.

Continue to mow the lawn as long as it keeps growing. Mow high to encourage deep roots and leave clippings on the lawn. They add nutrients and organic matter to the soil and do not cause thatch. There’s no need to cut the lawn shorter for winter unless you are in an area subject to winter diseases.

Mow and do not rake those fall leaves. This will save you time and improve your lawn. The leaves add organic matter and nutrients to the soil.

As long as you can see the grass leaves

through the shredded leaves your lawn will be fine. Or shred and collect the leaves in your bagger and add them to your compost, dig into annual gardens to improve the soil, or use as mulch around perennials in the garden.

Consider core aeration if your lawn is suffering from compacted soil and thatch. Core aeration machines remove plugs of soil in the lawn, allowing air and water to reach and nourish the grass roots while promoting the breakdown of the thatch. Overseed thin lawns after core aerating. This will enable you to get good seed to soil contact and ultimately enjoy a thicker more lush lawn.

Be sure to fertilize. Fall fertilization helps lawns recover from summer stress, encourages root growth, thickens your grass stand, and prepares the lawn for winter. Use a low nitrogen fertilizer like Milorganite to encourage slow steady growth and prevent damage to already stressed lawns.

Plus, research has found when micro-

organisms work on the Milorganite to release the nutrients they also make some of the phosphorous and potassium bound to the soil available to the plants. The phosphorous is good for root growth and potassium boosts hardiness and disease resistance.

Those in the south growing Bermuda, St Augustine and other warm weather grasses can make their last fertilization about one month before the lawn goes dormant. That’s about the time of the first killing frost. Fertilizing later can result in winter damage.

And always sweep any clippings, fertilizer and other debris off walks and drives to prevent them from entering our waterways and eventually our drinking water.

Nationally known gardening expert, TV/radio host, author and columnist Melinda Myers has more than 30 years of horticulture experience and has written over 20 gardening books, including Can’t Miss Small Space Gardening.

Meet Molly Whitley of Selmer...Molly needs your help...Molly is 19 years old and at age five, she was diagnosed with Severe Aplastic Anemia. She went through treatment successfully at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. After treatment, Molly stayed in remission for 10 years. In 2009 Molly started experiencing lower blood count levels. Since this decline she has been going to St. Jude for regular checkups every 2 months. If the treatment she received at five doesn’t work this time, Molly’s ultimate cure for this disease may be a bone marrow transplant.

McNairy County Health Care

Unit Manager and a Friend

By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor

One of the positions we have in our nursing department is a Unit Manager. This person has lots of tasks to fill every day, from helping the nurses to being available to Pollyanna Justice, our DON, so she wears many hats in a day’s time. Pam Perkins is our unit manager, and even though she is busy she is not too busy to be a friend to our residents. Pam is married to Thomas Perkins who is the director for EMS at the hospital here in town. They have three children, Kelsey who also works here at MCHCC, Jessica and Ashlyn.

Pam states, “Nursing is something I’ve always dreamed about. Before school I would never work in a Nursing Rehab home. I wanted some excitement, like the emergency room or surgery.

My first day of clinical in nursing school was at a nursing home and I realized I had found my calling in life.” She has often said, “I hope to spend all of my nursing days caring for our patients and residents. This is the most rewarding job I have ever had.”

One of Pam’s favorite residents is Cindy Kerr.

Ms. Cindy was born in Greenfield, Tenn. She has four brothers, one is deceased. She grew up

Pam Perkins, unit manager, pictured with McNairy County Health Care resident, Cindy Kerr. in Greenfield and lived there until she married.

She was on the basketball team in school and always dreamed of being a teacher.

However, married life did not allow her to fulfill that dream. She worked in a factory for a time, and then she was a waitress for the biggest part of her working career.

Illness then stopped her from working.

She always liked going to auctions and collecting antique glassware and dolls. She has two daughters, Cheryl Wood of Union City, Tenn. and Tracey Howell of Selmer, Tenn.

She also has five grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She likes to watch T.V. and enjoys crocheting. When she was able to do so, she used to make blankets and take them to the nursing home for patient’s during Christmas.

Cindy and Pam are very close friends. I always find it very interesting how most of us form a bond with our residents and patients.

I often say I spend more time with them than I do my family, but then they are my family just of a different kind.

Until next time.

BOBCATS RUN AWAY WITH FIRST WIN

Mood’s four touchdowns help snap eight-game losing streak

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Bobcats traveled to Bolivar, Tenn., last Friday night and ran their way to their first victory of the season.

McNairy Central Bolivar Central

40 26

The Bobcats wasted no time getting started against the Tigers. Jarrett Mood took the first play of the opening possession more than 50 yards to the house to get things started.

McNairy’s defense stayed on the field for the remainder of the quarter battling with the strong offensive line of the Tigers, and after being gashed for a few big plays, Bolivar was able to find the end zone and tie the game.

The following kickoff was a good one, a high kick with good distance. Unfortunately for the Tigers, it came down in the hands of Mood, who was able to make a couple of quick moves and it was off to the races once again, and nobody would catch him. However, the extra point did not go as planned as a high snap led to a blocked kick.

The Bobcats defense came out determined to keep the Tigers out of the end zone and go into halftime with the lead. Although the defense held strong at times, they were unable to hold the Tigers as they got into the end zone to take the lead with just over three minutes left in the first half and would take a 14-13 lead into the locker room.

Running back Jarrett Mood gets a outstanding block from wide receiver Darwin Kelly. Mood went on to finish with three rushing touchdowns in the game.

Cardinals soar past Tigers on senior night

By Amanda Lowrance Sports Writer

The winningest senior class in Adamsville Football history put an exclamation point on its district championship with a win over the Middleton Tigers on senior night last Friday at Lendon Martin Memorial Stadium.

Adamsville Middleton

63 19

After only one season’s loss, the Adamsville Cardinals defeated Middleton last week for the last home game of the season and for a season record of 8-1.

“If we can stay healthy and get some people back we have a great shot at making a playoff run this year,” said coach Brandon Gray.

In honor of their final regular season home game, the senior class was recognized including band members, cheerleaders, and football players.

“This senior class has won 35 games so far,” said Gray. “The seniors have done a great job in leading this team not only this year but in years past.”

The Cardinals jumped out to a 28-point lead at the end of the first quarter and scored 15 more points before ending the first half.

“I think our kids did a good job of not having a big letdown this week coming off a big win over Hardin County,” said Gray. “Our defense has done a good job all year and Friday night was no different by getting turnovers early Friday night.”

Nine touchdowns from eight Cardinals were scored against the Tigers. Overall AHS is 4-0 in District 15-A, with only one non-

Adamsville senior football players, band members and cheerleaders are honored at the Cardinals’ senior night last Friday before their 63-19 victory over Middleton locked down a perfect 4-0 finish in District 15-A for the second consecutive season. league game to go.

“We play McKenzie Friday night and they will be going for win No. 36,” said Gray.

“McKenzie is a well-coached team, and our guys will have to come out and play well. We have to protect the ball better on offense.”

Receiving a bye in the final week of the season, Adamsville will hit the road for one last regular season game this weekend. The McKenzie Rebels are 2-6 overall and 2-2 in District 13-A. “Our goal this year is to play on 12-1-12.

We just have to stay focused and remember what our goal has been since January.”

A tough Madison team rolled into Selmer on Oct. 9 for a match with McNairy Central on the school’s senior night for the Lady Bobcat Soccer Team.

Volleycats end season Bobcats compete at state in district tournament tournament, perform well

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The Lady Bobcat Volleyball Team took to the court against the Liberty Lady Crusaders on Oct. 8, playing to keep their season alive in the opening round of the District 14-AA Tournament at South Side High School in Jackson, Tenn.

Despite rallying to win the second set 25-23, the Volleycats were defeated three

sets to one.

Liberty won the first set 25-21, and took the third and fourth sets 25-22 and 25-18.

The loss saddled MCHS (9-12, 4-8) with an early exit from the district tournament, but the senior-led bunch fought hard all the way, setting an example for future Volleycats under the coaching leadership of first-year head coach Melody Price.

Sports Writer

Bobcat and Lady Bobcat golfers Jason Kirk, Matt Chandler, Valerie Jones, and Kelly Beth Ernest competed in the state tournament last week at WillowBrook Golf Course in Manchester, Tenn.

Kirk finished the two-round tournament with a score of 159. This was good enough to finish 22nd overall. Chandler, who turned in a two-round score of 174, finished 59th overall.

On the ladies tees, Jones and Ernest are also did their best to bring home hardware for McNairy Central.

Unfortunately, no title was won. The ladies turned in good scores, a 199 by Jones and a 201 by Ernest, but they found themselves 41st and 45th in the standings.

Lady Cardinals claim No. 2 seed in tournament despite 3-0 loss

The Lady Cardinals could not come away with a win at home as they hosted Sacred Heart just before the district tournament last Thursday.

Sacred Heart Adamsville

The Lady Cardinals had a tough time finding any offense against girls from Sacred Heart. Possession stayed on the Cardinals’ defensive side of the field for most of the game.

The Cardinals were unable to score and only got off three shots on goal. It was the defense that kept the Cardinals in the game.

Tough play, and an exceptional 20 saves from freshman Parker Davis, who filled in for Olivia Wright. Wright missed the game due to an illness.

“We played a good first half,” said head coach Rebecca Ashe. “The second half, not so much. This was a good test before the district tournament. We have lots of injuries, so it’s important that we get healthy. Parker Davis played a great game in goal and has a bright future.”

The Cardinals begin their run at a district title Thursday.

They will be playing the winner from the six seed and three seed match-up, which will be a matchup between Madison and the winner of the play-in game between Kingsbury, of Memphis, and Fayette-Ware.

Woodmore too much for pickers, ties Stroup for lead

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Coach Rennard Woodmore finished 4-1 in week seven of Top O’ The River’s Beat the Coaches: College Football Pick’em, which kept the pickers at bay and caused the prize to carry over to week eight.

Two contestants matched Woodmore’s finish but could not beat the coach. Zolon Clayton and Carlean Gray both finished 4-1 with Gray missing on Oklahoma’s 63-21 beat-down of Texas for the Governor’s Cup in the Red River Rivarly.

Clayton, like nearly all of our contestants, failed to foresee Texas Christian University’s 49-21 upset victory over Baylor coming.

It was tough pickings for most as nearly half our contestants missed more picks than they predicted correctly.

Woodmore’s top finish amongst the coaches moved him into a first place tie with Coach Michael Stroup, who finished 3-2 and is 22-13 overall.

Coaches Brandon Alldredge and Brandon Gray are tied for fourth at 18-17 after finishing 2-3 in week seven.

Houdini, the third place horse in this race, also finished

2-3 last week with Stanford losing a close 20-13 battle against Notre Dame in South Bend, Baylor falling to TCU, LSU topping South Carolina 23-21, and Mississippi State dropping Tennessee 41-31 in our game of the week.

The horse’s picks look crazy to me this week, but you can see them for yourself on our Youtube page.

Houdini likes No. 6 LSU to down No. 20 Texas A&M, No. 18 Texas Tech to top TCU in Fort Worth, Michigan State to trump No. 23 Michigan in East Lansing, No. 17 West Virginia to defend their home turf against No. 4 Kansas State, and the No. 3 Florida Gators to chomp their ole ball coach, Steve Spurrier and the No. 9 South Carolina Gamecocks in our game of the week.

McNairy Central Bobcat Jarrett Mood (Left) and Adamsville Cardinals John Reed Odom (Middle) and Josh Chappell (Right) are awarded Edward Jones Player of the Week honors by Sam Vise for their performances in week eight. Odom was selected for his offensive performance, accounting for four touchdowns in the 63-19 win over Middleton; one on the ground, two through the air, and one on a return. Chappell, a fellow senior, was selected for his defensive performance on senior night, scoring a touchdown on a fumble recovery while recording three total tackles, two of which were for a loss. Mood was selected for his fourtouchdown performance in the 40-26 Bobcat victory over Bolivar. The MCHS senior ran for 255 yards and scored three touchdowns on the ground, and he also returned a kick for a touchdown.

McNairy Central will shake off the loss and focus on the task at hand; the visiting Jackson CentralMerry Lady Cougars in the opening round of the District 15 A-AA Tournament, which took place after

deadline last Tuesday.

The match between the Lady Cats and Cougs, scheduled for Oct. 1, was canceled, so the two teams have not met this season. In their last meeting, which was played in September of 2011, MCHS defeated JCM 7-0.

More good news for McNairy, junior Allyson Frye will return to the lineup for tournament play after missing four games, following a

scary injury in a collision against Adamsville on Sept. 25.

A win against JCM advances MCHS to the second round, where it would take on Liberty, a team the Lady Bobcats (7-4-2, 2-1-1) defeated 2-1 earlier in the year.

NASCAR Clint Bowyer was victorious in the Bank of America 500, the fifth race of this year’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship, at Charlotte Motor Speedway last Saturday. The

win was Bowyer’s third of the year and put him in fourth place in the Chase for the Cup standings. Brad Keselowski ran out of gas after leading 140 laps and finished 11th, but he is still in first place in the overall standings. Dale Earnhardt Jr., who is now 12th in the standings, did not race due to a concussion. His replacement, Regan Smith, finished 38th after blowing his engine. Denny Hamlin, third in the standings, finished second, and Jimmie Johnson, second in the standings, finished third to round out the top three.

Titan Stun Steelers Rob Bironas drilled a 40-yard field goal as the final seconds ticked off the clock against the Pittsburgh Steelers last Thursday, snapping Tennessee’s two-game skid. The field goal was Bironas’ fourth of the game. Chris Johnson rushed for 91 yards on 19 carries in the 26-23 victory, and Kenny Britt returned to the lineup to catch four passes for 62 yards and a touchdown. The Titans (2-4) will travel to Buffalo on Sunday to take on the Bills (3-3).

Bulldogs Bite Vols Tennessee hung around through all four quarters of last Saturday’s game, but in the end, the No. 19 Mississippi State Bulldogs (6-0, 3-0) were just too much for the Volunteers (3-3, 0-3) in Starkville. State threw for more than 300 yards in the 41-31 victory as the Vols relinquished three touchdowns through the air. MSU played mistake-free football and won the turnover battle 2-0, intercepting one Tyler Bray pass and recovering a fumble. Tennessee will test its luck against the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide in Knoxville Saturday on ESPN at 6 p.m.

Adamsville JV ends season on high note

First Win From Page 1B

The Bobcats came out of halftime fired up and ready to play. After the offense worked its way down the field with just over six minutes left in the third quarter, quarterback Issac Cagle found his way into the end zone, giving the Bobcats a five point lead. The two-point conversion, a pass from Cagle to Darwin Kelly, fell incomplete.

However, the Bobcats were right back on the gas pedal when Cagle recovered the kickoff after it was mishandled by the Tigers.

Mood took a hand off on the next play and outran the defense to score his third touchdown of the night and give the Bobcats a 12-point lead.

It would be early in the fourth quarter before anyone was able to score again. Just under a minute into the quarter, Issac Cagle was again able to use his legs to get into the end zone for a second time. The sidelines and the crowd were louder as they have been all year as their Bobcats were on top 33-14 in the fourth quarter.

McNairy fought hard to protect their lead but the Tigers were not going away without a fight. Although the Bobcats gave up two late touchdowns, the final nail was driven in when Mood broke free from the defense for another long Bobcat score. After the extra point by Jake Williams the Bobcats led 40-26.

Bolivar still did not give up, they drove down the field in the final minutes of the game only to be intercepted on an outstanding play by Darwin Kelly. This sealed the victory for the Bobcats, their first under head coach Charlie Dampeer.

MCHS will look to make it two in a row when it hosts its senior night against the Fayette-Ware Wildcats this Friday.

Chris Irons was able to find the end zone twice during the game. Quarterback Ben Crestman also added to the score board with a touchdown pass to Bradley Parmely. Adamsville’s defense played well and was able to hold the Eagles to 14 points and bring home a win. The win wrapped up the junior varsity schedule, and Adamsville () has to be pleased with play of its up-and-comers.

Sidney Goldfinger carries the ball around the right side as he makes it into the end zone late in the fourth quarter to put the Cardinals up 20-6 over the Bobcat JV squad on Oct. 8. The Cardinals finished their JV schedule undefeated at 4-0 with wins over Riverside, Hardin County, McNairy Central, and Chester County. They outscored their opponents 104-40.

The Adamsville Cardinal junior varsity football team headed that short trip up Highway 64 to face the Bobcats last Monday.

Both teams came in wanting to run the football, although it was the Cardinals who came out on top. The offense got a big boost from Sidney Goldfinger, who scored two rushing touchdowns late to secure the victory for the Cardinals.

On the Bobcats’ side of the football, quarterback Darwin Kelly and running back Tata Newsom, handled the ball well. The Bobcats were able to move the ball and sustain drives, but they were just unable to make their way into the end zone.

Both JV teams will be in action next week as the Cardinals host Scotts Hill and the Bobcats travel to Henderson, Tenn., to take on the Eagles.

Jr. High Football Homecoming Courts Lions burned by Blue Devils 20-14

By Amanda Lowrance Feature Writer

Concluding the junior high football season at McNairy Central High School last Thursday, the Michie Blue Devils triumphed over the Selmer Lions.

Bethel Springs Rebels’ 2012 Football Homecoming Court: Sixth-grader Caitlin Holt and escort Ty Ross, seventhgrader Marlee Smith and escort Thomas Stevens, Homecoming Sweetheart Joyce Martin and escort Dalton Gates, eighth-grader Gabby Wiggins and escort Beau Barnes, Homecoming Queen Macey Rowland and escort Dylan Crabb, seventh-grader Katie Turner and escort Avery Davis, and sixth-grader Breanna Howard and escort Ryan Parmely.

Down six points, Selmer pushed for the win with only seconds remaining on the board, but a pass intercepted in the end zone by Michie’s Clint Coleman crushed the Lion’s hope.

“It was an exciting game and our kids did not give up despite being down,” said Selmer coach Larry Williams. “This team has fought competitively all year and made me so proud of them,” said Williams.

Blue Devils Franklin Jarnigan and Dylan Whirley scored the first two rushing touchdowns with Whirley successfully diverting a two-point conversion.

Sydney Rickman stepped up for the Lions scoring off a 15-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Logan Roberts. Roberts rushed in for the two-point conversion, and after a scoreless second quarter, the Lions trailed by six points at the half.

Whirley scored another touchdown for Michie in the third quarter and Roberts rushed down the center for a one-yard touchdown in the fourth.

“The eighth graders have definitely put a competitive spirit back into the program. It was such a blessing to coach these boys and I thank God for such a wonderful opportunity this season,” Williams said following the eighth-grade recognition game where football and softball players, along with cheerleaders and band members were recognized before the contest began.

Success continues for county School Menus high school marching bands

By Andrew Alexander Staff Writer

Adamsville and McNairy Central were outstanding in yet another marching band competition last weekend when the schools traveled to Newbern, Tenn. to put on award-winning performances at the Choctaw Classic, hosted by Dyer County High School.

The Bobcat March

Band even pulled doubleduty, taking home third place overall for Class 4A bands at the Union City Invitational Saturday night to go along with third place finishes for percussion and color guard, and a second place finish for drum major.

Earlier that day, both bands went heel-to-toe at DCHS, and both were quite successful. Adamsville finished first overall

for music, and second overall in both overall band and overall visual.

The Cardinals also took first in Division I band and Division I percussion, and in Class 2A were first for band and percussion and second in color guard.

MCHS was selected as the first place Class 3A band and took first for percussion, color guard, and soloist. Bobcat percussion and color guard were also

first place overall for Division II. McNairy Central will have its first week off from competition this weekend since opening the season with success at the Skyhawk Invitational in midSeptember.

Adamsville, on the other hand, travels to Austin Peay State University for the Mid-South Marching Band Invitational on Saturday.

AES first-graders celebrate Johnny Appleseed

Submitted Photos

In celebration of Johnny Appleseed’s birthday, Mr. Mike Lobb portrays the American legend for Adamsville firstgraders on his birthday, September 26. Did you know Johnny Appleseed was a real person? His real name was Johnny Chapman. To celebrate Johnny Appleseed’s life, students read books, watched a video, ate different types of apples to compare and contrast, and made apple hats. Some of the classes planted the seeds from their apples.

They want to do their part to help continue the legacy of Johnny Appleseed.

The spider is one of the most fascinating creatures on the planet. It has the ability to create glorious images by streaming its silvery gossamer across any opening it feels is convenient. It could be said that a spider is the master of the web. The same is true of Brian Thacker, a senior at McNairy Central High School. The only differences are that Thacker is the master of the website of MCHS, and he does not have eight legs, multiple eyes, and venomous fangs.

So what exactly is Thacker responsible for as the MCHS student webmaster? “I am in charge of maintaining the guidance, library, and lunch menu pages.” He also helps Lisa Forsythe, the journalism instructor, by uploading various parts of the website when she is unable to. Thacker also assists any teachers who need help uploading grades

online.

“Having Brian is a big help to me,” said Forsythe. “There just aren’t enough hours in the day to keep the website as I’d like it to be. I can delegrate some of the upkeep to Brian and know that it will be taken care of.” Thacker was in Forsythe’s Web Design class and showed a natural aptitude for the job. There is only one student webmaster at a time, as the job carries a lot of responsibility. “The student webmaster has access to the full site, so it has to be someone I can trust,” said Forsythe. “I’ve also sent him to help teachers when I might not have time to do it right that moment. He understands the confidentiality of some of the information he might see.”

When asked what was most difficult about his job, Thacker said it was “keeping up with deadlines and keeping the teachers pleased with my work.” On a different note, Thacker said his favorite part of being webmaster is working with computers all day and gaining experience for college. It is apparent that Thacker enjoys working with computers, and he said he will continue to do so after graduating by gaining a masters in computer forensics.

Finally, Thacker said that after graduating he will miss seeing his friends and enjoying “the delicious school lunches.”
