‘Let’s have some fun with our four-legged friends’

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

NORTH SECOND STREET Be sure to check out Justice Alley!

INSIDE THIS WEEK

The Selmer City Park will be going to the dogs Saturday, but in a good way.

The Dog Day in the Park, sponsored by 4 My Pets Grooming, includes contests, a raffle and a silent auction, music, horse back rides, cow wagon rides, mule wagon rides, kiddie train rides, lots of food and more.

There are contests both for kids under 12 and for dogs and their owners. The best hand drawing of a pet by a youngster will win a prize.

The contests for the dogs include a doggie costume contest, one for the best-dressed dog, best tricks, owner and dog look-alike, the cutest dog and the smallest dog. The doggie costume contest winner will be the poster dog for next year.

There will also be a dog treat stacking contest.

“Human contestants will have 30 seconds to see if they can create the tallest tower of dog biscuits,” Dawson explained.

The entry fee is $6 per event or $15 per dog.

“So bring your chairs and don’t forget your pooch and lets have some fun with our four-legged friends,” said Cheryl Dawson, owner of 4 My Pets Grooming, which is sponsoring the event.

The day is not just for the pooches.

There are also contests for most humorous and best cat photo.

The dog day starts at 11 a.m. and all proceeds go to help spay dogs and cats for low-income families.

“There are so many animals being dumped in the community and dying of starvation. It’s really going to make a difference in some animals’ lives. This is something we really need to do in the county, so please lend a hand and help reduce the pet overpopulation,” Dawson said.

The event needs volunteers. If you would like to volunteer or make a donation, call Linda Banks at (731) 439-0172. You can also send your donations to Bancorp South under Dog Days in the Park.

The event also needs sponsors. Any sponsor that donates $100 will have a sign placed at the front of the stage.

“We are hoping to spay as many dogs and cats in McNairy County that funds will allow.

The program is being set up to help low-income families spay their pets.

Applications will be taken the day of the event. Proof of last year’s income and filling out a low-cost spay form will be required.

The cost of services is $20 per cat and $35 per dog. Eligibility requirements are an income of $14,000 and under for a single person, $16,000 and under for a family of two and $23,000 and under for a family of four.

“Pet population statistics are simple.

There are just too many pets and not enough homes...one litter can result in hundreds of thousands of unwanted pets,” Dawson said.

Gray named Citizen of the Year

By Christen Coulon Editor

Students in 16 Tennessee counties, including McNairy County, will benefit from more than $15 million in funding to support college access and success efforts thanks to a grant from the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. The funding is part of the U.S. Department of Education’s Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs or GEAR UP grant program, which aims to provide information and services to students and families to increase enrollment and success in post-secondary education. The Tennessee Higher Education Commission announced the Collaboratives that will be a part of GEAR UP TN and participate in activities that cultivate a college-going culture in Tennessee.

“The good news is that it will help us to target the 7th grade group and track them through the time they will graduate,” said Dr. Brian Jackson, assistant director of schools/supervisor of instruction. “It will help them to stay engaged so we can graduate a greater number of students. This grant will let them see some opportunities that they would normally not be presented with.”

Wi-Fi network to cover all of downtown Selmer?

By Christen Coulon Editor

The City of Selmer is asking businesses to help expand the city’s growing Wi-Fi network. In an ambitious move that could make downtown Selmer one of the largest hotspots between here and Memphis, the city has come up with a plan that could cover the entire downtown area with free internet.

“When the idea first actually came up, Steve Brown was helping us with our computers at that time, and he ran across this (repeater) and he just brought the idea to me and I said, ‘how can we do it,’” said Selmer Mayor David Robinson.

The mayor said that when the program began, it focused on providing WiFi to the areas controlled by the city such as city hall, the parks and the community center. He said that the idea then evolved into a plan to include local business using their internet provider with the city’s repeaters.

This would allow businesses to expand the city’s Wi-Fi network by sharing a small

amount of their bandwidth even if they have a different provider than the city.

Robinson said that a number of local businesses (including the Independent Appeal) have expressed interest in partnering with the city on this project, and that private citizens are welcome to participate as well.

“If we can get several...up and down here, then it would basically put that net over downtown Selmer,” Robinson said.

“I just think it would be kind of cool. The ultimate goal would be to cover all of Mulberry Avenue and coming down Poplar Avenue. It’s going to be dependent on folks’ willingness to participate.”

Each repeater has the ability to cover as much as a 400 foot radius around it, and each will cost less than $100. As someone travels away from one hotspot and the signal fades, it would automatically pick up another repeater without asking users to provide additional login information. As an added feature, each device would have a firewall built in that would allow access to the city’s network but would prevent any access to the net-

works of individual businesses.

Robinson said that this would be a handy service for residents and visitors, and it would help to differentiate us from some of our sister cites in the region.

“It helps us grow in the eyes of existing industry and gives us another arrow in the quiver for attracting new business,” Robinson said.

Laurence Enticott, who is currently assisting the city with the technical side of the network’s installation, said that getting hooked up is very easy.

“Once they attach the extra router, it becomes part of the mesh network that covers the town,” Enticott said. “As long as they have an existing router with an existing ethernet port, it would be completely separate from their own network, so there would be no chance of any security issues.

“In theory, the way that the system works as a mesh, if you have contact with each other...we could cover the whole of the center of Selmer. The network could cover an area from the community center all the way down to the park and maybe a little bit further.”

Fall display brightens up Courthouse

Local couple grow pumpkins for St. Jude

By Michele Naylor Staff Writer

Pumpkins are an essential aspect of the autumn season. These round orange fruits are utilized as décor for living rooms, carved as Jacko-lanterns to perch on porches and baked into delicious pumpkin pie for family gatherings. A local couple, Lance and Leslie Carter of Finger, Tenn., recognized the demand for pumpkins, so they devised a plan to provide more than two acres of them for purchase from the public.

The Carters’ motivation was not, however, to profit personally from the sales. Quite the opposite, their story is one of selflessness and generosity.

Lance and Leslie’s daughter Kensley was diagnosed with stage four high-risk neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that offers only a 30 percent chance of survival. She endured countless grueling cancer treatments before finally being cleared 15 months after her diagnosis. Leslie described the cancer-free report as nothing short of a miracle. Kensley received her treatments at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., a place that Leslie claims to deserve much of her gratitude.

“St. Jude is a phenomenal place,” Leslie said. “We just couldn’t have asked for better care or smarter doctors.”

Because of Lance and Leslie’s appreciation for St. Jude, they made the decision to donate all proceeds this year to the hospital in hopes that the money collected will assist other families who have been plagued by this disease.

Almost 2,000 pumpkins were purchased and more than $3,000 was raised.

The family sold some pumpkins and butternut squash from the Farmer’s Market, but family and friends bought most of them. People from places like Lexington, Tenn., and even Columbus, Miss., visited the Carter family backyard pumpkin patch.

The success reaped by Lance and Leslie is evidence of a high caliber of strenuous labor. While Leslie credits that success to her husband’s gift for growing things, Lance emphasizes that in order to grow pumpkins, one must have sheer dedication. He planted the pumpkins on June 17 and sprayed them routinely every 10 to 14 days following.

Although caring for any type of garden while also balancing everyday activities can become tiresome, the Carters are planning to farm a wider variety of pumpkins and gourds next fall.

“We’ll keep planting the pumpkins as long as it continues to be fun,” Lance said.

Lance and Leslie also participate in the “St. Jude Give thanks. Walk” event in Collierville, Tenn., on Nov. 17. The Carters hope that their support of St. Jude will aid in improving the lives of children affected by cancer as well as their families.

“We decided that since St. Jude was so good to us that we would simply pay it forward,” Leslie concluded.

So remember this autumn that the pumpkin not only symbolizes the festive harvest season but also the hundreds of children just waiting for a cure.

McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks would like to invite everyone to visit the new fall display in front of the Courthouse in downtown Selmer. “This is perfect for a family photo,” said Solid Waste Director Cindy Kennedy. Any photos given to the Mayor or Solid Waste office will be used in a photo collage and kept for many years to come. Kennedy asked that anyone submitting pictures should list the names of everyone in the picture. Mayor Brooks wants to thank the following individuals and businesses for their generous donations: Littlejohn Monuments, Highway 57 Nursery, Terry Crabb, Stanfield Farms, Corbin and Carson Kennedy and the elected officials of the Courthouse. For more information, call (731) 645-5909.

Halloween frightens many dentists NASHVILLE, Tenn., (Oct. 19, 2012) – Halloween brings one of the most difficult challenges for parents and dentists, keeping children’s teeth healthy and clean.

“Halloween treats are nearly unavoidable,” said Dr. Jed Jacobson, chief science officer of Delta Dental of Tennessee. “However, not all treats affect teeth in the same way. Knowing which are least damaging can greatly improve oral health during the holidays.”

Delta Dental found that the majority of dentists give out chocolate on Halloween. Chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth and can be eaten easily, decreasing the amount of time sugar stays in contact with teeth.

Bolivar Auto Sales

“Hard and gummy candies tend to take longer to eat,” Dr. Jacobson said. “This extends the time teeth are exposed to sugar that combines with bacteria to produce tooth-decaying acid.”

To cut down on sugar exposure, Delta Dental recommends a thorough tooth-brushing, or at least a big drink of water after a child eats their sweets.

Try to ensure children eat a good, hearty meal prior to trick-or-treating, so there will be less temptation to gorge on candy.

Promote good oral health care habits to your children year-round by encouraging twice daily brushing with fluoridated toothpaste, daily flossing and regular dental checkups.

DOG DAY FROM PAGE 1A

For example, two females with two offspring each in the first year can result in 4,372 offspring by the seventh year.

Likewise, a cat with three litters with 12 total offspring can result in 20,736 offspring six years later.

“Spaying and neutering is also necessary to stop the overpopulation of pets in McNairy County. We can cut down on so many being born if we just spay/ neuter. It is the single most important thing you can do to prevent cruelty. Puppies and kittens are born

unwanted because the mother was not spayed.

Unwanted, they are given away to whoever will take them. Then the cycle happens again. Many, who if given the chance, would make wonderful pets, are dumped, only to die on the streets from starvation, disease or just plain abuse. They are more forgiving...and will love you a lifetime. I am hoping to make Dog Days in the Park an every year event...keep a donation jar in the shop to help the people that just can’t afford to get their pets spayed. Please come to the event and help save lives,” Dawson said.

For more information, call (731) 645-4494.

FROM PAGE 1A

Jackson said that this grant was written for both of our high schools and was written as a grant for the district so it will benefit students around the county.

“Not necessarily everyone will go to college,” Jackson said. “This will help them take their next step into some type of post-secondary training. It will expose them to as many opportunities as possible.”

Jackson said that the benefits will extend outside of the target group and that some of the changes will apply to students outside of that group.

“We are focused in Tennessee on taking the next step in post-secondary education because we have to increase the number of graduates if we’re going to attract high quality jobs to our state. Twenty-three percent of Tennesseans have a degree from a four-year institution, and while college isn’t for everyone, it needs to be for more people than it has been,” said Governor Bill Haslam. “This grant goes a long way toward assisting students who might otherwise not have access to the support and resources needed to enter and succeed in college, and I look forward to seeing the impact we can have on students starting as early as the seventh grade.”

GEAR UP TN will serve a cohort of 7,500 students in the Class of 2018, along with 5,000 graduating seniors each year through 2019. A total of over 37,500 students at 83 schools will be directly served during the seven years of federal funding. Each GEAR UP TN Collaborative includes at least one priority high school, one middle school, a higher education institution, the local board of education, and at least two community-based partners.

The Collaboratives are located in the following 16 counties: Anderson, Bradley, Campbell, Claiborne, Davidson (Metro Nashville Public Schools), Grainger, Hancock, Hardeman, Haywood, Henderson, Johnson, McNairy, Robertson, Shelby (Memphis City Schools), Union and Wayne. The Collaboratives were chosen through a competitive grant proposal process. Award amounts were determined by the number of students to be served in each direct service school.

Election commission tests voting machines

Staff Photo by Jeff Whitten

Voting machine operator Katie Whitaker tests a voting machine in Selmer Oct. 16. The test was successful as this reporter served as the guinea pig. It involved printing out data showing 0 votes before the test and then printing out data showing one vote for each office and candidate voted for during the test. The simulated votes were then erased in order to clear the machine’s memory for the real votes to be cast in the election.

Each voter’s votes are saved on a tape device called a Personalized Electronic Ballot, on a flash drive as well as being printed out in hard copy. The ESS iVotronic touch screen voting system has been in use since 2006, according to Whitaker. Paper ballots were used from the mid-1990s until then, according to former Elections Administrator Nancy Kennedy. The old lever machines were used before then. Early voting began on Oct. 17 and will conclude on Nov. 1 in the Election Commission office in the basement of the Courthouse in Selmer. The office is open from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon. The office is closed on Sundays. Whitaker said she expected around 40 percent of the vote to be cast during early voting and that turnout would probably exceed that of the 2008 election.

ELECT Gary Bizzell Senior BETHEL SPRINGS ALDERMAN Dear Residents of Bethel Springs, I’m Gary Bizzell Senior; a member of Bethel Springs First Baptist Church. I’ve lived here most of my life. I spent 9 plus years in the U.S. Navy as an Aviation Electronics technician. I’ve owned 4 businesses in Bethel Springs and have worked for the last 32 years as a quality control inspector at over 20 nuclear power plants. I owned the video store from 1986 to 2008 when my son closed it. When I came home from the service in 1974, there were 2 grocery stores, 5 service stations, a bank, a lumber yard, Lube-A-Chain, a shirt factory, spring factory, an appliance store, monument company, 2 cafes, a laundromat, barber, 4 beauty salons, cabinet shops, an auction and more. What happened to us? All we have now are streets that have been neglected for 15 years, a sewer system we can’t pay for, water bills no one, especially those on fixed incomes can pay. The town has shrunk by over 400 people. You have to drive to Selmer just to get gas for your lawn mower. (I don’t smoke), But again, it’s a trip to Selmer if you do. The roads are almost impassable. We used to have seven alderman and a mayor who could only vote to break a tie. They worked as a service getting $10 a month with the mayor receiving $60. Now we have 4 aldermen getting $150 and a mayor receiving $500 a month. We have a sewer system that no one wanted or could afford and streets people actually avoid as not to damage their auto. We don’t even have our water wells anymore. We, with the best artesian wells in the county, are getting our water from Selmer. Why? Because the board would not spend money to do repairs. There is so much wrong with our city government, I only hope you will get out and vote. Obviously I care about my town, but we have a chance to elect 3 new people here. Hopefully three concerned, caring, active people who will work to put people back in our town. Three years ago there were almost no available homes for rent here. Now you couldn’t give a house away in Bethel. I sincerely want to be a part of bringing our town back to being a place you are proud to live in. I’m running for the two year alderman position my sister Sheri Payne held. Remember only you can change this. Voting isn’t a privilege, it’s a responsibility. Please get out and vote.

Thanks, Gary L. Bizzell Sr.

One grant coming to Eastview, one not

By Jeff Whitten

“Up until now, that has been a little bit of a slow place,” Griggs said.

ECD now has all of the paperwork in hand, Griggs said.

“Hopefully, we can get the paperwork signed and go to work,” Griggs said.

The $1 million grant will be used for a fire truck, generators and weather sirens.

The city will take care of the bids for the truck and generators.

The city will be able to purchase four sirens. One will be placed at the Civic Center.

The city will have to acquire land through some means to place the other three.

The generators will be placed at the Civic Center and the fire stations.

Griggs said that federal money cannot be used to lease property.

The city’s application for a Local Parks and Recreation Fund Grant was unsuccessful, City Recorder Emodene Smith said.

Head News Writer

It was revealed at the Oct. 16 meeting of the Eastview Board of Aldermen that the money from a grant for storm damage sustained in 2008 is on its way, but that it won’t be getting a park grant.

Bill Griggs, of Griggs and Maloney, an engineering and consulting firm that has worked for Eastview for a long time, updated the board on their successful application for a disaster grant arising from damage that occurred in 2008.

The grant originally comes from the federal government to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development then to local communities that have applied for the grant.

The paperwork goes through Southwest Tennessee Development District.

There were seven foreclosures in McNairy County in September, up one from the previous month, according to RealtyTrac. This was down five from Sept. 2011 and 14 from May 2011, when the Independent Appeal began keeping records.

This represented a rate of 1 foreclosure in 1,705 homes. This was up from August’s rate of 1 in 1,989 but down from the Sept. 2011 rate of 1 in 989 and from the May 2011 rate of 1 in 1,170.

Selmer had one foreclosure, down two from the previous month and foreclosures held steady at two in Adamsville. Ramer had two foreclosures, up one from August.

Bethel Springs and Guys had one foreclosure in September, but no comparison could be made because figures were unavailable for these two towns in August.

Numbers were also not available for Michie, Finger and Stantonville.

The number of foreclosures have declined by one over the past year in Selmer and held steady in Adamsville and Bethel Springs.

At one foreclosure in 4,212 homes, Selmer had the best foreclosure rate in the county.

Bethel had a foreclosure rate of one in 1,750 and Adamsville had one in 1,382. Ramer’s foreclosure rate was one in 641 and there was one foreclosure for every 303 homes in Guys.

There were 153 homes listed for sale in September, down slightly from the 157 in August but up sharply from 9 in July 2011.

There were 33 bank-owned properties, up from 31 in August but down from the 85 in May 2011.

The average selling price decreased from over $94,000 in August to a bit less than $80,000 in September.

The average asking price for a home was around $74,000. This $6,000 difference between average asking and selling prices was the narrowest since the Independent Appeal began keeping records.

The average asking price fell about $8,000 from July. Figures for August were unavailable.

With five foreclosures, Chester County had the lowest number in surrounding counties.

Hardeman County had nine and Hardin County had seven.

At 1 foreclosure in 1,992 homes, Hardin County had the lowest rate, followed by Chester at 1 in 1,396 and Hardeman with a foreclosure rate of 1 in 1,206.

Tennessee had 2,169 foreclosures down from 2,384 in August and from the 2.376 in May 2011.

The foreclosure rate in Tennessee was 1 in 1,297, down from 1 in 1,180 in August and 1 in 1,170 in May 2011.

Nationally, housing starts for single family homes in September were at an annual rate of 603,000, up 11 percent from the revised August figure of 543,000, according to a joint news release from the U. S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Existing home sales fell 1.7 percent to a seasonally adjusted rate of 4.75 million in September from and upwardly revised 4.83 million in August and are 11 percent above the 4.28 million unit level of September 2011, according to the National Association of Realtors.

The national median existing-home price was $183,900, up from 11.3 percent from September 2011.

Morgan’s, Mid-Town celebrations liven up weekend

Busy Bees work pays off at successful quilt show

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The Busy Bees held the McNairy County Quilt Show, “All for the Love of Quilting,” last Friday and Saturday at the Bethel Springs United Pentecostal Church in Bethel Springs.

Patti Sandage won first place for favorite quilt and new quilt with “Hearts Afire.”

Pat Mitchell won first place in the old quilt category with “Fan Quilt.” Donna Neuman won in the baby quilt category with “Treasured Moments.”

Dwight and Martha Tyler won the cross-stitched quilts category with “Hydrangea.” Susan Hendrix won the embroidered quilts category with “State Quilt.”

Jeannie Smith won the novelty quilts category with “Wizard of Oz,” and Lisa Graham won the Wall Hangings category for Zula McCann with “Little Grandmother’s Flower Garden.” McCann, who is Graham’s deceased grandmother, actually made the quilt and Graham showed it in her grandmother’s honor.

There was also a quilt art show for students kindergarten through 12.

Best in Show winners were Huston Johnson for kindergarten through third grade, Madelyn Pearson for grades four through six and Brittany Steele for grades seven through 12.

“They did a good job this year,” McNairy County Quilt Show Chairperson Doris Reece said.

There were various kinds of quilts, handmade crafts and a bake sale. There was also quilting during the sale.

“We anticipate this annual show with great joy because we love to carry on the heritage of quilting,” Linda Smith of Needle-n-Pins said.

Reece told the Independent Appeal last Monday that they were still tallying the attendance, but said that she thought the show went well.

This is the 32nd year for the show. The first 12 were sponsored by RSVP and held at the First Baptist Church in Adamsville.

The next year the show moved to the First United Methodist Church in Adamsville and in 1994 moved to its present location.

The Busy Bees are members of the church united in their love of their church and quilting. This year more 200 quilts were displayed The group quilts at the McNairy County Museum on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 3 p.m.

“We encourage people to come by and join our group,” Smith said.

The Tennessee Sampler Survey exhibit was at the Arts in McNairy Gallery at the Latta Visitors and Cultural Center last Friday, in conjunction with the quilt show.

Michie sponsors first community event Saturday

By Janet Rail Publisher

Michie mayor and board of aldermen met last Monday and appointed Janice Durbin liason to a Special Events Committee recently established by James Redden and concerned citizens in the city.

The committee, with permission from the board, will sponsor their first event a Trick or Treat in the City Park on Saturday, October 27 at 5:30 p.m. It was reported to the board that over 17 booths are being set up for the event and the committee is encouraging anyone to come and set up around 4:30 with their decorations and candy around the track and let children trick or treat.

There will be a pumpkin decorating contest and a costume contest and best booth decoration prizes. You can call city hall with any questions 731-239-3680. The State Department of Parks and Recreation is sending a representative to complete an assessment of the city park Oct. 24 and make recommendations to the city to fully develop a parks and recreation program which is a free service.

Tim Hearnsberger, owner of Top O’ The River Restaurant in Michie presented a proposed ordinance to amend ordinance 35, section 12 of the municipal code of the Town of Michie relative to the distance requirement between an establishment licensed to sell beer and a residence and a definition of a restaurant prepared by Attorney Terry Abernathy.

The ordinance states the distance restriction of 300 feet shall have no applica-

tion to the permitted sale of beer for onpremises consumption at a “restaurant” as defined. “I have so many customers asking for beer and I believe this will help me with my business and also help the city. I have over 25 years in the restaurant business and my management team will be passing it out,” said Hearnsberger.

“You run a good business and I am happy for you to have a business in Michie,” said Alderman Anthony Smith. According to Hearnsberger, since his Feb. 29 opening, the restaurant has increased the tax revenue to the city by $20,000. Approximately half of the sales tax revenue currently goes to the school system in Michie.

“What are we doing tonight?’, said Alderman Jim Merry. “I believe if we all agree with the language on this ordinance amendment we can have the first reading tonight,” said Mayor David Baker.

It was discussed that the city’s attorney had previously reviewed the amendment and made a motion to amend the ordinance with a unanimous vote to approve the first reading. There will be a second reading and a called meeting of the Beer Board to consider a license.

The board discussed a contract ending for previous water department manager John Shaw for consulting and tabled until the next meeting.

Fire Chief Shirley Clark updated the board on a CDBG grant of $273,000 stating the state anticipates opening bids in November for the purchase of a new fire truck.

Minutes of the Sept. 24 meeting were reviewed and approved in previous business.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at Los Aztecas last Thursday in Selmer. In attendance were owners Juan and Elizabeth Palomino, McNairy Regional Alliance Director of Programs Russell Ingle, Chris Combs of Pickwick Electric Cooperative and employees of the restaurant. “We serve real Mexican food. If you don’t like your food, we give you your money back,” said Juan Palomino.

Mcnairy voices Are you going to vote? Why or why not?

By Amanda Lowrance Feature Writer

We all have different life experiences that make us who we are today. For me, fall break has ended, school has started back, and the daily agenda continues.

I am a single mom working two jobs and going to school full-time to support myself and two very young boys.

Every day is full, but it’s rewarding to lay your head on the pillow at night, sigh, and say ‘I did it.’

The alarm sounds every morning to begin a new day, which is full of meeting tasks and needs on a schedule. While I am playing this part dayto-day, I have goals set for the future as Amanda Lowrance well.

Every parent wants a better life for his or her children and that’s why I try to stay determined and focused.

Since the divorce was filed in July, it has become more of a frightening future. What if I can’t do this on my own? So far, I have made it and my hope is that I will continue to make it.

Thankfully my children have family members and a father close by that are willing to help out. Daycare is expensive. As a matter of fact, on my average working salary, one job would be needed just to solely pay for daycare.

Still in light of the fact, a second job was needed to financially stabilize my family in a new apartment.

In search of this second job, I found that it is hard to find something in a day, but I did it by not being picky.

Money is money, no matter how you get it and I am willing to be a maid to support my children.

Outside of writing for our local newspaper, I drive roughly 40 miles almost every day, crossing the state line to wait tables. Looking back over my work history, I have become accustomed to this type of labor, but how long will I be able to make a living at this?

After many sacrifices, I will finally graduate in December with my bachelor’s degree. Hopefully this will give me a more comfortable work load and a better understanding of where to go from here.

I love helping others through my work, whether it’s helping a player get recognition to a college or giving someone a refill on their sweet tea.

What little spare time I have, I like to volunteer, which is rewarding in itself. My oldest son loves to make new friends, so I coach his basketball and soccer teams. I also volunteer with the Carl Perkins Center, an organization dedicated to helping abused children.

Our time is precious. The way I see it is, if we work hard and give our all, our future will be more fulfilling.

Sonya Smith (Adamsville):

Chris Arnold (Adamsville):

Jo Martin (Adamsville):

Billy Gibbs (Adamsville):

Jane McCaig (Adamsville):

Jimmie Owen (Adamsville):

“Yes.”

“I’m not going to vote this time because I feel like they’re both equal parties and either one would do a pretty good job.”

“I probably will. I usually do. Right now, I would say I’m going to.

Well, I’m kind of undecided but I should be able to make up my mind by voting time.”

“Yes, I’m going to vote. It’s my God-given right.”

“Yes, I’m going to vote. Most definitely, and why, it’s not only our (God) given right but our duty.”

“No, I’m not going to vote.”

Letter to the editor

Community prepares for Dogs Day in the Park We are trying to help low-income families with getting their pets spayed by having a fundraiser in the Selmer City Park on Oct. 27 at 11 a.m. called McNairy County Dogs Day In The Park. We will have a doggie costume contest.

This year’s winner will be the poster dog for next year. Best Dressed / Small & Large dog categories. Best Tricks. Owner and Dog Look Alike. Most Humorous.

Cutest Dog / Small & Large dog categories. Dog Treat Stacking Contest. And just for kids, Best Hand-Drawn Picture of their pets. 2 categories—age 7 & under and age 8-12. Best Cat photo and more.

Silent Auction. Music, horse back rides, cow wagon rides, mule wagon rides, kiddies train rides, lots of food, and much more! Great prizes to all winners.

Entry fee for most events is $6 each event or $15 for all per dog. So bring your

own chairs, don’t forget your pooch and let’s have some fun with our 4-legged friends! If any of you have ideas please share it with us. Our head coordinator is Linda Banks (439-0172). If you would like to donate, call Linda or you can send it to Bancorp South in Selmer UNDER Dogs Day In The Park. We also need sponsors.

Any sponsor that donates $100 or more will have a sign placed in front of the stage.

Our judges this year will be Sheriff Guy Buck & County Mayor Ronnie Brooks. 4 My Pets Grooming & Boarding is sponsoring this event. We are hoping to spay as many dogs and cats in McNairy County as funds will allow. This program is being set up to help low-income families spay their pets. We will be taking applications the day of the event.

What you need to apply is last year’s

tax return as proof of income. Low cost spay form goes as follows: Single person: $14,000 and under. Family of 2: $16,000 and under. Family of 4: $23,000 and under. What you must pay: Cost of Spay for Cats: $20. Cost of Spay for Dogs: $35.

Why are there so many unwanted cats and dogs? There are three main reasons.

Many people fail to spay or neuter their dogs and cats which then reproduce, creating enormous numbers of kittens and puppies. People still buy animals from breeders or pet stores (thereby supporting the puppy mills that supply them) instead of adopting homeless animals. Finally, people acquire companion animals without considering the lifetime commitment that caring for them requires. Eventually, people turn their backs on their loyal companions when they become

“inconvenient” or “too much work.”

The companion animal overpopulation crisis can be overwhelming, but solving it starts with a “no-birth.” We must all prevent more animals from being born by spaying and neutering.

Many animals go insane from loneliness and confinement. Many more unwanted animals are simply abandoned to suffer and die on the streets or languish in lonely backyards without companionship, exercise or, in many cases, even basic necessities such as food, water, shelter, or veterinary care. Love your animal and be there for them.

anniversary

Mr. & Mrs. Ronnie Rhodes

Happy 50th Ronnie and Melba (Hendrix) Rhodes celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on October 20. They were married in 1962 at Gravel Hill Baptist Church in Eastview, TN and then made their home in Corinth, MS. They are the parents of Todd (Rhonda) Rhodes and Trent (Heather) Rhodes. They have four grandchildren: Alex, Allie, Lauren, and Case. As the story goes, when Ronnie proposed, Melba panicked and threw the ring back at him. Thankfully, Ronnie went back one more time and she said yes. Through the years, their love and dedication to God, each other, and their family has remained constant in an ever – changing world. The love they have shared for more than half a century has influenced not only their own children, but so many others around them. They recently celebrated this milestone by taking a trip to Destin with their sons and their families.

ENJOY A HEALTHY PET FOR A LONG LIFETIME

Have you been treating your pet for health problems that continually recur or never really go away?

Ear Infections, irritated skin, licking until the skin is raw are common problems.

You’ve spent a fortune for antibiotics and steroids and still have the problem.

The real cause is your pet’s immune system is out of balance.

Restoring the body’s natural harmony is the cure.

Homeostasis is the fancy word for that balance; but it is found in nature, right at your fingertips.

You’re invited to join us for a very enlightening session with Jacqueline Hill, Vice President of A+ Answers Pet Food.

‘Ode To The Reverend Dr. Black’ They call him the Reverend Dr. Black He hates this country and that’s a fact To get out the vote, was his biggest goal He never said a prayer, for one lost soul It was the women's vote that concerned him most Their right to choose abortion, from coast to coast He used the church pulpit, to get out the word To spread Satan’s lies, until they all had heard He said, “Now don't be concerned, by any guilt you feel We know that it's murder, but it's no big deal The high court has ruled, and they're on our side So we can break God's laws, and we don't have to hide They call themselves progressive, liberal democrats They hate family tradition, God's commandments and things like that They're out to change this world, to fit their style To have a one world order, so wicked and vile There are some people out there, who don't agree They call themselves The Tea Party, for God country and liberty He said, “ Now we must stick together, come election day And show them big government is here, and here to stay.”

Then he said, “ We're taking away their freedoms, one by one From their freedom of speech, to their right to carry a gun.”

In the school there is no prayer, or Ten Commandments, like it used to be Now, drugs, sex, and violence are the things you see He said, “ We must elect those that share our views And we can count on the liars, on the network news To tell all the people, they have nothing to fear Just be sure to vote their way, cause big brother is here!”

McNairy County Health Care

The story of a legend

By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor

When I first became the ADON at McNairy County Health Care Center, one of my duties was to make all new admission rounds and determine any concerns and address them. One of the first residents whom I had the privilege of meeting was Ms. Lucille McCormack. Ms. Lucille had come to stay in our home and she was adjusting well, but her daughter, Mrs. Wanda had to make sure her mother's needs were being met. So every day I would go check on Ms. Lucille and soon became friends with her daughter, Wanda. She also has another daughter, Freddie, who I also became friends with. The two sisters are as different as my sister’s and me, but their main concern was to make sure Ms. Lucille was adjusting to her new home.

Ms. Lucille has often told me I was not made to come to McHCC; this was my choice. I have a hard time seeing anyone make this sharp little lady do anything.

She had some medical problems but was sharp as a tack in her thinking. I love going to visit Ms. Lucille’s room because it is always decorated with bright colors by her daughters. If there was a holiday she was dressed for the occasion. I have seen very few daughters who were so devoted to their mother.

Ms. Lucille was in our beauty pageant one year

and won. She then went to the regional pageant and placed, but did not win.

She said, “The next time I go back I will bring that crown home with me.” A few years went by and she won again. So once again Ms. Lucille was off to regional with a smile and a wink for me. This time when the crown was given Ms. Lucille was the winner. I visited her the next day and she said "I told you I would bring that crown home.” If I need to encourage a family that we can provide the needs for their love ones, I’d send them to see Ms. Lucille and her daughters. If we made a commercial she would have to be one of the stars.

This past week I received a call that Ms. Lucille was not doing well.

It broke my heart because I had come to love this little lady and her family.

The next morning as soon as I got to work I visited her room, her two daughters were with her when I walked up to her bed she smiled and said, “There is Ms. Marvelous. Well, I can assure you I am not marvelous, but have found a friend in Ms. Lucille. She thanks me for all I have done for her and told me once again that, as soon as she gets the paper, she hunts for our stories. She was one of the first stories I wrote and what a story she

had to tell.

She is doing a little better and that makes this girl smile. Her two daughters not only care for their mother, but are always asking me for other ways they can help other residents. Ms. Wanda has many times brought my breakfast and placed it on my desk when I was not around. She has brought me soup to my house on a day when I was not feeling well. Ms. Freddie, the quiet one of the two, has done so much for other residents who had a need and can make the best coconut cake (my favorite) that makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

So, for these three people who have become part of our growing family at McHCC, we appreciate all of you. My job here at McHCC can be a little challenging at times, but one thing is for sure, the residents and patients give me so much more than I could ever give them. They give me a sense of belonging and provide me with smiles on a day when I really need one. So, Ms. Lucy I am not marvelous, not even close, but I appreciate you and your family more that I can say. God bless you all, He does me every day with great people like you.

Until next time.

SEC flexes muscles in early BCS rankings

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

When the Bowl Championship Series released its first rankings on Oct. 14, six of the top 12 teams hailed from the Southeastern Conference.

After the second set of rankings came out last Monday, six teams in the top 13 were SEC members.

Two things are obvious; the computers love the way college football is played in the South, and the SEC may have a shot of sending two teams back to the title game when all is said and done.

The scenarios are endless, so we won’t get into how, who, and what could happen, but the bottom line is, it could happen. The conference is so strong that losses within the conference yield small falls.

No. 20 Texas A&M dropped two spots after a loss to No. 6 LSU at home, and No. 13 South Carolina dropped six spots after being blown out by No. 2 Florida.

These small falls keep both these teams in the running as possible BCS at-large bids, and they prove that regardless of who wins in these upcoming matchups between forces like Alabama and LSU, or Florida and Georgia, there will be no shortage of SEC teams sitting at the top of the rankings at the end of the year.

Say, hypothetically, Bama and Florida run the table, and the Tide beat the Gators in the conference championship.

That will still leave Mississippi State, Georgia, LSU and South Carolina as two-loss teams, assuming LSU beats MSU and everyone else wins the games they’re supposed to win. Those are two-loss teams with great resumes. Plus, Florida will still only have one loss with a resume superior to those twoloss teams below them.

For all we know, Mississippi State could lose to Alabama, run the table the rest of the way out, and be sitting pretty for a shot at the title game, along with a one-loss Florida team.

The SEC is 30-6 against non-conference opponents this season. Their only losses came from Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Auburn, and Kentucky; none of which are contenders in the grand scheme of things.

When the first BCS rankings came out, there were three conferences with seven teams in the top 25: The SEC, Big 12, and Pac-12. Now, those nonSEC conferences account for a combined nine of the top 25 teams while the SEC still has seven teams total in the rankings. This means that the strength ratings for the Big 12 and Pac-12 are weakening, meaning a loss from No. 3 Kan-

Adamsville wins ninth in a row, defense stymies Rebel offense

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Cardinals traveled to McKenzie, Tenn., to take on the Rebels for their last game of the regular season, and Adamsville came away with its ninth straight victory.

Adamsville McKenzie

The Cardinals won the toss and elected to kick off to the Rebels to start the game. McKenzie took advantage of this and drove down the field for its only score of the game, because that is all the Cardinal defense would allow.

“This was a great win for our guys,” said head coach Brandon Gray. “Finishing 9-1 was great.

These kids are competitors and they do not stop working.”

McKenzie became Adamsville’s sixth opponent that finished its contest with the Cardinals with less than 10 points forced.

Adamsville’s secondary was causing major problems for the Rebel quarterback as they hauled in four interceptions in the game; one by Ross Burcham, who took it to the house for a Cardinal touchdown and six points.

McNairy Central claims back-to-back district wins

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

After beginning the season 0-7, the McNairy Central Bobcats have circled the wagons and won two games in a row.

McNairy Central 17 Fayette-Ware 14

Quarterback Issac Cagle stiff-arms a Wildcat defender in the 17-14 Bobcat victory.

The Bobcats were hungry for another win last Friday when the winless Wildcats of Fayette-Ware journeyed to Selmer. Not to be denied, McNairy Central got its second taste of victory in as many weeks by executing their game plan and keeping the ground game moving the chains.

“We played well,” said Bobcat head coach Charlie Dampeer. “Issac Cagle had some key runs, and we just need to continue to get better.”

Cagle gave the Bobcats an early lead with a first quarter touchdown run from a yard out. The junior quarterback finished the game with 49 yards on the ground to go along with his touchdown. He also completed one of his two passes for seven yards.

MCHS attempted only four passes all night while

Fayette-Ware aired it out, gaining more than 200 yards with its passing game, but that did not matter to the Bobcats who never trailed in the contest.

Leading 7-0, Bobcat senior Jarrett Mood decided it was his turn. He capped off an 11-play, 70-yard drive with a 7-yard touchdown run to put McNairy up two scores.

Mood, who led the Bobcats with more than 200 rushing yards in the team’s 40-26 win over Bolivar, followed his prior week’s performance with more than 100 yards and a touchdown against FayetteWare.

The defensive performance put on by MCHS was nothing to shake a stick at.

The Bobcats crippled the Wildcat rush attack, holding Fayette-Ware ball carriers to just 84 yards.

John Graham and Tata Newsom led the way on defense with 11 tackles apiece, and Newsom was also credited with 1.5 sacks. The Bobcats forced two turnovers with Devin Holt and Darwin Kelly coming up with interceptions.

New TSSAA Classifications: Set your sights on Friday night No change for county schools

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association Board of Control will set the final classifications for the 2013-2017 athletic seasons at its Nov. 15 meeting, but for McNairy County high schools, not much will change despite both Adamsville and McNairy Central being quite close to making a jump in one direction or another.

McNairy Central, which has an enrollment of 755 students, will remain a 2A

program for all sports except football. In football, MCHS is 4A and has the smallest enrollment in its class behind District 14-AA opponents like Liberty Technology Magnet High School (788), Jackson South Side High School (797), and Bolivar Central High School (798). The Bobcats are, however, larger than one district opponent – Jackson Central-Merry (750) – which falls into the 3A football classification.

Lady Bobcat, Cardinal soccer teams fall short in postseason Lady Cats downed in second round McNairy Central 12 JCM 00

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The Lady Bobcats thrashed Jackson Central-Merry in the first round of the region tournament, but the girls met their match against Liberty last Thursday, ending the season, but not before McNairy Central doubled their win total from the previous season.

Liberty McNairy Central

05 01

A talented Liberty Lady Crusader team eliminated the McNairy Central Lady Bobcats in the second round of the Region 8 A-AA Tournament last Thursday.

Despite Mackenzie Stone’s 10 firsthalf saves, Liberty was able to mount a 4-1 lead by halftime.

“We gave up too many easy shots in the first half but came back with a good effort in the second,” said head coach Jerry Lott. “Coach Becky Adkins and I were pleased with the team’s improvement this season. The girls have had great attitudes and worked hard to win twice as many games as last year.”

Lott went on to give a special thanks to Coach Doug Lowrie and all of the MCHS parents that helped to make this year a successful one.

Mary Kate Doyle scored the lone MCHS goal of the contest in the first half while the Lady Cats only put 10 shots on goal throughout the match.

Liberty had 18.

With the loss, the McNairy Central finished the year with an 8-5-2 record overall.

The schedule read that the Lady Bobcats were playing the Lady Cougars in the first round of the region tournament, but what fans witnessed looked more like sharks in a feeding frenzy as McNairy Central devoured Jackson Central-Merry on Oct. 16.

Ten Lady Bobcats found the net for McNairy Central during the match that was conceded by JCM halfway through the second half. MCHS put 26 shots on goal, and 12 of them were winners.

The Lady Cats built a 7-0 lead in the first half, aided by two goals from sophomore Rebekah Lowrie, who now has 13 on the season, and two goals from Porsha Chappell, which allowed the team to coast in the second half.

“Everyone got a lot of playing time,” head coach Jerry Lott said of the match dominated by his team.

McNairy Central went on to score five more goals in the contest before meeting the mercy rule. BreAnna Burge, Madi Rose Hammock, Makayla Holley, Dakota Lail, Haven Phelps, Shawna Roten, and Laralee Williams all scored for MCHS. Phelps was credited with two assists, Burge, Lowrie, Margie Coleman, and Mary Kate Doyle each had one.

Allyson Frye, who returned to action for the first time since sustaining an injury against Adamsville on Sept. 25, was credited for a goal after bouncing a corner kick off a JCM defender and into the net.

Mackenzie Stone saw time as the goalkeeper, but she did not see much action, needing only to save one attempt on the Lady Cougars’ lone shot on goal.

opportunities at the goal.

Adamsville scored its first and only goal of the match midway through the first half when Olivia Johnson put the ball into the net to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. It was her first goal as a Lady Cardinal soccer player.

The Mustangs would not be down for long as they managed to score just before halftime to tie the game at 1-1.

The second half was spent almost entirely with the Cardinals on defense.

They played well, keeping the Mustangs out of the net until late in the second half. With just over 10 minutes left to play the Mustangs scored their second goal of the match.

Down but not out, the Cardinals pushed on knowing that just one good shot could tie the game. Unfortunately, that would not happen.

The Mustangs came up with their third and final goal just minutes before the final whistle on a shot taken from almost mid-field that found its way into the net.

“We did not play well the second half of the season,” said Adamsville head coach Rebecca Ashe. “We played hard, and I wish the seniors luck, and I would like to thank everyone who was involved with the program this season.”

With the loss, Adamsville finished the year with a 4-5-2 record overall.

sas State or No. 4 Oregon before their conference championship games could be devastating to their chances of hopping any one-loss SEC team.

I may be getting ahead of myself because there’s still a lot of football left to be played, but I feel like, though impressive, Oregon and Kansas State can neither navigate the rest of their seasons without stumbling, nor can they match up with teams like Bama, Florida, and LSU. The Ducks still have three ranked opponents remaining on their schedule, and only one of those games will be played at home. They score tons of points, but they are also giving up 23 points per game to teams that aren’t very good.

The Lions have several tough games left on the schedule too,

and simply judging by the eye test, any team that figures out a way to stop Collin Klein can beat K-State.

With the exception of these two teams, there are no teams out there that can contend with the top SEC teams, so mentioning more would just be wasting time. Sorry to Notre Dame, Louisville, Oklahoma, and Southern Cal fans. It’s just not your year.

I’m afraid it is inevitable that the SEC will once against reign supreme in 2012.

After holding a slim 6-0 lead at halftime, the Tigers outscored the Redskins 14-0 in the second half for a 20-0 victory. It was a first half in which both team defenses dominated as the lone score of the half came with just 31 seconds remaining on a 22-yard touchdown run by the Tiger Norvante Holt. The Tigers added two scores in the second half on Holt’s touchdown runs covering 71 yards and 43 yards. Christian Loving made a two point conversion kick. The Redskins threatened to score late in the game on an offensive drive that covered 58 yards, resulting in three first downs. Key plays were a 11-yard run by Braden Kirk, a 12-yard carry by Cole Kirk, and a 26-yard pass completion from Tanner Parmely to Cole Kirk. The drive was eventually halted by Austin Whiting’s second interception of the night, both coming in the second half. Besides his three touchdown runs, Holt also had a 33-yard carry.

In a game that went down to the wire, the Blue Bears were able to hold on to a 14-8 win. The Blue Bears struck first and early as they scored on the third play from scrimmage on a 82-yard touchdown scamper by Hunter McCullar, followed by McCullar’s two-point conversion kick. The Big Orange responded with a 15-play drive, picking up four first downs, as they marched down to the Blue Bear 16-yard line where they failed on a fourth down conversion attempt. Lucas Hively had a run covering 12 yards on the drive. The first half ended with the Blue Bears holding a slim 8-0 lead.

The Blue Bears increased their lead to 14-0 on their first possession of the second half as McCullar ran it in from 22 yards out to record his second touchdown of the night. Trey Damron had a 28-yard run on the Blue Bears’ scoring drive. The two-point conversion kick attempt was blocked by Hively. The Big Orange promptly went on a 75-yard drive capped off by a 3-yard touchdown run by Hively on a quarterback keeper. The big play on the drive was a 51-yard run by Drea Watson. Cameron Jackson was successful on the two-point conversion kick to cut the Blue Bears lead to 14-8. Two plays later, Drew Yopp came up with a big fumble recovery for the Big Orange at the Blue Bear 29-yard line. A few plays later, aided by a fifteen yard run

by Hively, the Big Orange had it first-and-goal on the 4-yard line. The Blue Bear defense rose to the occasion and kept the Big Orange out of the end zone to preserve the 14-8 victory.

First Young Sportsman Night deemed successful

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

People of all ages came out to the first ever Young Sportsman’s Night hosted by Adamsville Parks and Recreation. The event was held at The Marty in Adamsville last Monday night.

Kids of all ages learned about the different equipment, clothing, and weapons used in different hunting situations. People got to see different types of deer stands, duck blinds, turkey blinds, decoys and much more.

There was also many experienced outdoorsmen who got up and gave different demonstrations about how to call different animals. Kids learned how to call: duck, geese, squirrel, coyote, crow and deer just to name a few.

There are already plans in the works to make the event bigger and better for next hunting season. Hopefully more kids will learn about and enjoy the great outdoors.

Bobcats get JV victory in final game Sports Writer

The Bobcat JV team won their final game last Monday when the Eagles of Chester County came to town.

20 14

The Bobcats got a big boost from Tata Newsom who led them with 125 yards rushing.

Newsom was not alone in the offensive showing as he was helped by Darwin Kelly who added more than 50 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Kelly also threw for a score in the game, connecting with Seontaye Crump for a touchdown.

The defense stepped up big as well when David Morris ran back a fumble recovery for more than 50 yards, and Ian Jobe came away with a huge interception with just over a minute left to play, sealing the victory for the Bobcats.

This was the last JV game of the season for McNairy Central, and the varsity will wrap up their season this Friday against Lexington.

Bobcat freshman Darwin Kelly rolls out for a pass during JV action.

“This Senior class is one that knows how to win,” Gray said. “They have won 36 games since they started their freshman year, and they are not done yet. Our goal is to be playing on Dec. 1 and we still have a lot of work to do until then. Looking forward to the rest of this season and the seasons to come, as a coach and as a former player, it is a blessing that we have the fans that we have. It is important that the players have that support there and that they know they always have someone there cheering them on.”

The Cardinals are looking at two weeks off before their next contest. This should be enough time for Adamsville to heal and put together a solid game plan to make a run deep into the playoffs.

calculated and schools are separated into Division I and Division II schools. Independents’ (private schools) enrollments are then given a 1.8 multiplier, but no matter their enrollment’s growth after the multiplier is added, schools can only move up one class in any sport.

In Division I, schools are then broken up into three classes – A, AA, AAA – and each class will have the same number of schools.

For example, if there were 720 Division I schools in the state, each class would have 240 schools within it.

Once schools are separated into three classes, each class is then divided into two subclasses depending on the number of football playing schools within the classification so that each subclass – 1A, 2A, 3A,

4A, 5A, 6A – has an equal amount of schools.

Unlike Adamsville, Cascade High School (533) did make the jump to 3A in football and will no longer be a contender for the Class 2A state title after the 2012 season. The Champions of Cascade matched up with Adamsville during the 2011 State Playoffs, and the team carries a 7-2 record into their final regular season football game as a 2A program. The Cardinals defeated the Champions in a memorable 17-14 finish at Lendon Martin Memorial Stadium last November.

With the Cardinal and Bobcat football programs both straddling the cutoff for 3A teams, it is not a stretch to think that both teams may one day be in the same class and district, making the already intense rivalry matchups that much more meaningful.

added to the lead that the Cardinal offense had already put together. After the Rebels scored on their opening drive, the Cardinals did the same.

After taking some time off the clock and moving the ball down the field, Cardinal Zak Neary found the end zone with just about 30 seconds left to play in the first quarter.

There were problems with the extra point though. After a rough snap, holder Seth Paul abandoned the kick attempt and made a scramble for the end zone. He was able to find an open receiver in Taylor Henry to complete the two-point play.

As they went into the second quarter with a one-point lead, it did not take the Cardinals long to get back on the scoreboard.

Neary once again found the end zone, this time from more than 70 yards out.

The Cardinals went into halftime with a 22-7 lead over the hosting Rebels.

Adamsville came out of halftime and continued its defensive domination. The Rebels had no answer for what the Cardinals were throwing at them.

Along with the defense, the offense kept rolling as well.

Adamsville was able to get two more touchdowns in the books, both coming from senior running back Hayden Reece who, along with Neary, ran for more than 100 yards in the game.

Boyd Buchanan High School (531), Grace Christian Academy (569), and Goodpasture Christian School (603) are all 1A private schools and receive multipliers.

AHS will remain a 1A school in all sports except football. In football, Adamsville remains a 2A program, missing the opportunity to battle teams like vaunted Alcoa High School (546) in the football state playoffs by just a handful of students.

The Wildcats put the pressure on in the fourth quarter, scoring on a 13-yard quarterback keeper to make it 14-8 after a successful two-point conversion.

Fayette-Ware scored an additional touchdown before regulation came to a close, but the Bobcat special teams came through when the team needed it the most.

Preserving the MCHS lead between Fayette-Ware scoring drives, Jake Williams split the uprights for a 21yard field goal that proved to be the difference in the game, giving the Bobcats back-to-back victories for the first time since winning three in a row against Chester County, Fayette Academy, and Fayette-Ware in 2008.

AJSHS Marching Band earns superior rating

School menus McNairy County Elementary Schools

Staff Photo by Emily Pitts

The Adamsville Junior/Senior High School Marching Band takes strides toward their dream of another state championship while competing at the Mid-South Marching Invitational at Austin Peay State University last Saturday.

The Cardinals earned a superior rating in Class 2A one week before the state championship, and they finished as the first place band in the preliminary competition to go along with second place finishes in percussion and color guard. In the finals, they finished ninth overall in an event that hosted 24 bands from around the state. Adamsville will carry its momentum to Murfreesboro, Tenn., when they march into the Division I State Marching Band Championship this Saturday.

Tennessee students given opportunity to cast presidential ballot in 2012 Submitted Report Contributor

Students across the state of Tennessee will participate in the largest student-driven civics project in the United States this fall. Millions of students will cast their votes in The My Voice™ National Student Mock Election giving them the opportunity to select their candidates in both the federal and state elections, and to talk about the issues they care about this fall and beyond.

This program, a digital initiative of the Pearson Foundation, builds on the 30-year history of the National Student/Parent Mock Election and My Voice, the leading program in student voice. More than 50 million young voters have participated while learning about the importance of using their own voice to share their perspectives on important issues. In

2012, national student voting begins on October 25 and culminates on the National Mock Election day, November 1, in advance of the nation’s election.

For the first time this year, the National Student Mock Election will take place entirely online, as will student polling on national topics, social issues, education, and local communities. Students, teachers, and parents in Tennessee are encouraged to register their schools to take part at www.nationalmockelection.org.

More than 60 national civic, educational, and business organizations serve as cooperating organizations and partners. In 2012, along with the Pearson Foundation, partners include: American Association of School Administrators, Barquin International, BrainPOP, Council of the Great City Schools, Don’t Forget Ed,

National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation, National Association of Elementary School Principals, National Association of Secondary School Principals, National Association of Secretaries of State, National Association of Student Councils, National Council for the Social Studies, National School Boards Association, NIE Institute, Rand McNally, SAGE, and USA Today.

Teachers are encouraged to use the free materials and curriculum developed for the program to create thoughtful lessons leading up to and around the upcoming election of the president, U.S. senators and representatives, and state governors.

UT admissions deadline draws near KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—It’s time for students who want to attend the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, to turn in their college admissions materials.

The university’s priority admissions deadline — which incoming freshmen must meet to be considered for competitive scholarships and the Chancellor’s Honors Program — is Nov. 1.

The regular application deadline for the 2013-2014 academic year is Dec. 1.

“We hope high school seniors and parents have these important deadlines marked on their calendars so there’s no last-minute crunch,” said Richard Bayer, assistant provost and director of enrollment services.

Bayer said he wants to stress that while UT is committed to excellence, it’s also committed to being accessible.

“UT is looking for the best and brightest students to make up our next freshman class,” he said. “And we’re not just talking about grade-point averages and ACT scores; rather, we’re talking about the whole range of special abilities, characteristics and talents that students can bring to our campus. Prospective students also can demonstrate their ability to succeed at UT by showing us a healthy combination of grades and extracurricular activities, along with their personal statements and a letter of recommendation.”

Students will be notified of their admission status beginning in mid-November but no later than March 25.

For more information about UT and the admissions process, see http://www.admissions.utk.edu. To register for a campus tour, visit http://www.visit.utk.edu. To apply online, go to http://vip.utk.edu. To use Common Application, go to https://www.commonapp.org/CommonApp/default.aspx.
