The faces of the new Bethel Springs Board of Alderman. Sherry Smith, John Wood, Mayor Kay Cox, Gary Bizzell Jr. and Shirley Williams discuss city business during their monthly meeting last Monday.

Following last month’s symbolic abolition of the Bethel Springs Police Department by the outgoing board, the fate of the city’s recentlyfired, lone officer, Chief T.E. “PeeWee Sowell was very much in doubt.

Following the meeting, however, Sowell left for a steak dinner with a smile on his face.

In a marathon 90 minute session last Monday with three of the four positions on the board occupied by incoming freshman. Paul Simpson, acting in his capacity as a retired judge, swore in the three new alderman, Shirley Williams, Gary Bizzell Jr. and Sherry Smith to the board.

After the new alderman took their seats it became immediately apparent that a shift in the political power had taken place as Mayor Kay Cox nominated Bethel’s only veteran aldermen, John Wood to assume the vacant seat of vice mayor.

A Selmer resident will have their video featured as a finalist on AFV (America’s Funniest Home Videos) in a show that tapes this weekend.

Melanie Hunting was notified last week that her video would air on the show, and a few days later she received a call back from the show letting her know that her video was chosen as on of the top three videos. Hunting said that she will fly

Hunting’s video was filmed at Atzimba’s in Selmer during a birthday party for her mother. Hunting said what made the video funny was her mother’s reaction to her birthday song which was sung by the restaurant’s staff. Hunting said that her mother reacted with a mix of anger and fear in what would normally be a moment of joy.

A former state trooper was arrested last Wednesday for allegedly stealing two big screen televisions from Walmart in Selmer.

Terry Lee Rainey, 47, of 1070 N. Maple St., Adamsville, was charged with theft of merchandise over $1,500, according to a report provided by the Selmer Police Department.

Ptl. William Westbrooks was dispatched to Walmart on a theft call. Upon arrival, he noticed a white pickup truck with two 60-inch flat-screen televisions in the back bed. There were two Walmart personnel standing by the truck when Westbrooks arrived.

Molly Moore Columnist

The holidays are upon us, the trees are up, and the elves are lurking. If you are not familiar with the ELF or the purpose of him, I can tell you, he works pretty well.

One can purchase the little fella for 30 bucks, and he moves around when no one is looking. He watches over the kids and tells Santa what they have been doing. I feel certain Elf Moore is pretty busy reporting when he leaves our home.

We have actually had two elves. Our first elf was not very bright. He climbed into the light hanging over the kitchen table and nearly burned the house down. I grabbed him, tossed him into the sink, and carted him off to the burn unit. My boys were horrified, I had broken the cardinal rule of elf ownership- I had touched him.

I explained to them, when there is a traumatic injury to the elf, mothers can and should use whatever means necessary to save its life. Santa sent us a new elf right away.

Honestly, I am sick of the elf. At first, I was excited and eager to surprise the boys with funny tricks and shenanigans, and you see how well that worked out. The second elf is perfectly safe because he rarely moves.

My friend’s daughter is constantly telling the boys how fabulous her elf is. Lipstick on the mirror, spilling skittles and leaving gifts are only a few of the wondrous things her elf does.

Ours must be extremely tired, simply done with the tricks of the trade. Maybe he is just sick of the job. All I know is that he better get into gear because he has a few weeks left of this gig. It is quite possible Santa sent us a dud. Either way, we are going to make the best of what we have been given, because I can guarantee Santa is not shelling out any more dough for a substitute. Hopefully, this new guy will not have a death wish.

Selmer, Adamsville hold soggy, annual Christmas parades

By Jeff Whitten and Christen Coulon Staff Writers

Both Adamsville and Selmer held their annual Christmas parades last week on Thursday and Saturday respectively. The two events took on a decidedly Dickensian flair but in an ironic turn of events the story played out much more like “A Tale of Two Cities” than it did “A Christmas Carol.”

In both cities the parades competed with soggy conditions.

In Selmer the streets were noticeably vacant for its annual event with the weather chasing away all but the heartiest of parade goers.

In Adamsville neither the soggy, foggy weather nor

competition from the basketball game could dampen the crowd’s size or spirits at their parade.

Both parades featured a steady stream of excited participants celebrating the holiday season.

Selmer’s route took the parade through downtown Selmer which was alight with holiday cheer. Following the city’s CHRISTmas festival the previous weekend lighted trees lined the streets and added to the celebration.

Selmer vice-mayor Paul Simpson said that he felt the weather kept many people from attending the event however he said that it was still a success.

Simpson said that the city may consider combining the two Christmas events next year.

Main Street in Adamsville was a carousel of lights and sounds during the half-hour that it wound its way through the streets of Adamsville.

The parade began near Shackelford Funeral Home on Highway 64 and ended at the BP station.

“I was more pleased this year than last year,” said parade coordinator Debbie Moffett.

There were six floats and 29 entries in all. Local governments, schools, law enforcement, fire departments, businesses, churches, motorcyclists, civic groups and others were represented.

First place went to “Home for the Holidays” by A Place Called Home. “God’s Greatest Gift” by New Chapel Freewil Baptist Church won second place. “Peace on Earth” by the Crump Cub Scout pack 800 came in third.

Two of the highlights of the parade were the state champion Adamsville High School band and the state runner-up football team.

Parade Grand Marshall and band director Frankie Congiardo marched with his band instead of riding in the Grand Marshall’s car.

Congiardo accepted the honor on behalf of the band.

“To be recognized for our accomplishments is a real honor,” Congiardo said.

“My place is right with them,” he said about marching with the band.

Members of the football team passed out candy to the children along the sidewalks.

Other than the drizzle, which moved out on cue and the haze, the temperature was perfect for a parade.

“This is the first time since I began working here in 1988 that I did not have to wear a jacket,” Moffett said.

The parade was sponsored by the city and all four banks: Farmers and Merchants, Community South, Central Bank and Hardin County Bank.

Moffett thanked Larry Atkins for working the sound system on the Santa Claus float and CenturyLink for providing hot chocolate and cookies for the crowd.

Love for job, adaptation, faith keys to Morgan’s success

FROM PAGE 1A

By Christen Coulon Westbrooks then interviewed one of them, Stanley Mitchell, who said he saw a white male take two television sets out of the store without paying for them. The white male was still in the store with other Walmart staff.

Amanda Miller, a Walmart employee, went inside the store and brought the suspect, Rainey, out. Westbrooks asked Rainey if he had a receipt for the televisions and he said he could not find it.

According to the report, Rainey said he had $2,000 in cash when he got to the store and the only money he had on him at that time was $44.

Asst. Chief Kim Holley went into the store and watched the surveillance video. Holley said that Rainey loaded the televisions in a shopping cart one at a time and took them out of the store, but at no time was Rainey seen paying for the televisions.

Westbrooks then placed Rainey under arrest and transported him to the McNairy County Jail for booking.

Rainey was released on his own recognizance and transported back to his vehicle at Walmart.

Following his arrest, Rainey contacted the Independent Appeal to give his version of these events.

“I was in the process of purchasing these television sets,” Rainey said. “I had every intention of paying for these sets as well as buying several other large items, and I was under the impression at the time in my mind that I had paid for these television sets when I brought them out of the store.

“The idea that anyone would try to bring two items of that size and that weight from the Walmart store in front of all of those security cameras, it is beyond me how anyone would contemplate trying to do something like that, I certainly wouldn’t. I am a former law enforcement officer I know how security cameras and security systems work, and I absolutely was not intending to steal those.

Rainey said that he had spoken to employees while leaving the store, and said that he was even offered assistance in loading the items.

He said that no alarms went off when he left and no one asked him for a receipt for the items and it they had he would have realized that he had not paid for the items.

Rainey said that he is confident that because he had no criminal intent that he will be vindicated of this charge.

“This kind of thing can happen to anybody,” Rainey said.

“She was just shocked at first and scared,” Hunting said. “Her expression is the funny part. She looks like she wants to beat up people.

She looks mad.”

Hunting said that she was notified by the show some time ago and never got around to sending back the release. Once she finally finished the paperwork, she said that AFV contacted her to let her know that the video would appear on an upcoming show. She said that a couple of days later they called and said that she was a finalist meaning that she would have to travel to California to receive a first, second or third place prize on the show.

When they do the show Saturday audience members will vote on Hunting’s video along with two other videos to determine placement.

The first place winner will receive $10,000. Hunting said that if she wins the big prize that she plans to split the money with her mother. Beyond that she said that she did not have plans on how she would spend the money.

“It’s still so crazy to me,” Hunting said. “The only thing I have ever won is like $200 at the casino.”

If Hunting wins she said that her video would then be up for the annual best video prize with judging held in January 2013.

AFV airs at 6 p.m. on Sundays. Hunting said that her video would air sometime in February 2013.

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” -- Dale Carnegie This quote seems to sum up the success of Ben Morgan, owner of Morgan’s Jewelry located at 325 East Poplar Ave. in Selmer. He opened the business just prior to the start of the Great Recession.

Morgan, who is a father of two and runs the store with his wife Lyndsey, managed to start and grow a business in one of the worst economies in the last 100 years, and said that the keys to his success lay in his love for his job, the support of his customers, his ability to adapt to a changing financial climate and his faith in God. For Morgan the love of jewelry began at an early age working with his father Jim. He grew up in the business, making his first ring at the age of 12 (it now resides on his wife’s charm bracelet), and has had a hand in the family business ever since. Morgan said that he worked with his father through high school and even came home on weekends from college to help out. In 2004, he purchased his father’s successful jewelry store and moved it from Adamsville to Selmer.

“The bench I’ve got now is the same bench I was working on when I was 12 years old,” Morgan said.

Morgan said the the love for the job is important and he feels that the customers respond to that.

“You have got to love to make it successful,” Morgan said. “When you go to Walmart and someone wants to talk to you about a ring and you have a thousand things to do...you have be able to love it to say, hey this is important, these people are feeding my kids and I am going to stop and listen to them no matter where I am at.”

While love for your job is important, it isn’t always enough to pay the bills. Morgan said that when the recession hit, it took adaptation and faith to survive.

“I’m not recession proof, it’s been a struggle,” Morgan said.

“You have to change, you learn different tactics, but we have taken a hit just like everybody else as

far as the recession...Truth be said, the Lord is just blessing us. The community supports us, but this is coming from God.” Morgan said that when he started the business he had purchased an old gas station as the location and he realized that it was way too much space for his needs. Morgan turned the building into three storefronts and leases the two spaces that sit next to his store. One of the spaces is currently full and the other he hopes to fill soon.

“You have got to listen to not only your consumers, but your competition,” Morgan said. “You need to look and see how they have become successful and then adapt and change.”

Morgan said that taking this approach has paid off.

Taking the economy into account, Morgan said that he introduced a new line of affordable jewelry from the Pandora line.

“It’s affordable, you can get a bracelet for 60 bucks and throw in a couple of charms and your are right at $100. It’s nothing that is going to break the bank,” Morgan said.

Morgan said that another thing he has done to adapt is through the use of promotions.

In the past he said that they gave away a car, or $1,000 in gas, and one year he gave away a pair of 1-carat earrings.

This year, Morgan has a promotion targeting local hunters who are buying jewelry. He said that on Dec. 13-15 they will give away a shotgun, rifle or a handgun to every hunter who makes a select diamond purchase.

Morgan has had to adapt not only to meet the needs of his costumers, but he has had to adapt to the fact that gold, a primary ingredient in many of the products he sells, has more than quadrupled in price in the eight years since he has opened his store.

“We used to sell a gold wedding band...for 120 bucks,” Morgan said. “Where as now the same wedding band is going to cost you $400-$500. So we have had to pick up some different metals like titanium and tungsten...now you are able to get into these for about $150.”

He has also increased the presence of jewelry made from nonprecious metals and from the precious metal platinum. He said

Ben Morgan examines a piece of jewelry for a customer in his store last week. that the price of gold has made platinum more attractive for use in jewelry.

“All of the platinum in the world will fit in this building, but gold is trading higher than platinum right now,” Morgan said.

Even with his adaptations Morgan said that the recession hit him hard. He said that at one point in 2006-2007 he was about to throw in the towel and turned to God for guidance.

“I just kept digging myself deeper and deeper into the hole and at some point you say...’I can’t do this anymore, if you want me to do this, you take the burden.

You take this God, I’m just going to be here and show up,’” Morgan said. “At that point I said, ‘If these people aren’t going to buy it from me, I am going to buy it from them.’

“It saved us.”

Morgan said that he took advantage of the rising gold market and began buying used and scrap gold from his customers.

Since that time he has recovered and managed to see growth, but said that every year presents new challenges. He compared his business to that of a farmer.

“You borrow all year long and then at Christmas you harvest your crop,” Morgan said.

Morgan asked to thank the local community for their support and said that Selmer has just been fantastic to his business. He invited the community to come in and check out the deals available this Christmas season.

viction. However, when she took the stand, Winkler claimed abuse at the hands of her husband and was able to draw a conviction for the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter. Winkler was sentenced to 210 days in prison for the conviction and with time served she was ordered to spend 60 days in a mental health facility.

According to Shelaney Campbell, associate producer for the story, they are covering the case for a new, as of yet untitled show, that focuses on mysterious murders in the deep South. She said that the show is as much about the town and the people of the area as it is about the Winkler case.

“From our perspective it’s more about trying to get a feel for the town, the people who lived here, and trying to show that this is not something that is typical of this area,” Campbell said. “Its been kind of tough on our part just because the story has been done so many times and people have been burned in the past.”

The show focused on many of the local residents who were involved with the investigation, the trial and the media coverage surrounding the case. Former Independent Appeal editor, Russell Ingle and author Diane Fanning were among those interviewed for the show.

“We have interviewed some of the attorneys involved in the case, the lead investigators, an author who wrote a story about the case,” Campbell said. “We have also interviewed Russell (Ingle), a local news reporter. We are just trying to get a feel for the case people who had their

hands in it or covered it.”

Campbell said that she has received various opinions on the case from those she has talked to in the area.

“There are people who say that Mary had a motive, and she had a reason to do what she did and there are people who say that she is a cold-blooded killer,” Campbell said. “So there are two sides of the case here, and it’s just so interesting that you have this meek, mild-mannered woman who is being accused of murdering her husband.”

Campbell said that even though years have passed since the killing, the story has stayed alive because it has all of the ingredients of a true tragedy. Because of this, Campbell said that she thought that the story would never leave the collective consciousness of the public.

“The story has all of these interesting aspects. You have got sex, you have got violence, and you have someone who was well loved in the community,” Campbell said. “There is so much to this story. I don’t think a story like this is ever going to go away.”

Campbell said that she enjoyed her week in Selmer and that everyone that she and her crew spoke with was very polite and made them feel at home.

“Everybody here is so welcoming.

When they talk to you they tell you their whole story, and the conversation just keeps going,” Campbell said. “I love the fact that everybody...is so open, warm and friendly here.”

Campbell said that she did not have an air date for the show as of yet the Independent Appeal will share this information as it becomes available.

Malfunction causes Selmer accident

Staff Photo by Christen Coulon

A man walked away from a treacherous one vehicle accident in Selmer Dec. 4. Daniel Lee Patterson of Selmer was driving a 2001 white Mercury Sable near Home Banking on Popular Avenue when according to the accident report, his brakes locked causing him to lose control of his vehicle. The vehicle then slid off the road and entered a culvert which was approximately 13 feet below the level of the road. The vehicle sustained disabling damage. Patterson, who was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, was not injured.

a second, and the freshman group immediately nominated, seconded and approved Shirley Williams for the position.

The board then voted to amend last month’s minutes to table the previously approved motions to pay for City Clerk Deborah Sullivan to attend Certified Municipal Financial Officer classes and to give Sullivan the authority to sign checks, along with the Mayor.

The amendment came due to a change in the pricing of the training classes and the board decided to make a decision on this in their January 2013 meeting.

The board then approved the minutes with the addendum that the November dissolution of the city’s police department would be discussed later in the meeting.

Following the reading of the financial statement, incoming alderman Smith then killed a motion to pay the monthly bills claiming that she had not seen them prior to the meeting.

Cox pleaded with Smith to approve the bills saying, “If we do not approve the bills to be paid than we will have to hold a called meeting.”

The board then approved the financial news with the exclusion of the bills.

Next the monthly water report was released. The statement reflected that 1.787 million gallons were pumped and 1.198 million gallons sold. This left 588,990 gallons unaccounted for.

“So we have a 33 percent loss,” Bizzell said.

Following the reading of the water report the board took a detour from the agenda as Smith brought up a discussion about the city’s existing financial obligations.

“This is not going to change Sherry, we have beat this horse to death,” Cox said.

“This board didn’t do this.”

Wood then tried to mediate the Smith-Cox sparring match.

“What we need to do is figure out what we are going to do about it,” Wood said.

“The one thing that we need to do is get some revenue around here. We have Route 66 syndrome, the bypass killed this place. You know it, I know it and everybody in here knows it.”

The discussion quickly devolved into a shouting match with Smith, Wood and Cox speaking simultaneously ending with Cox banging her gavel.

Next, the board approved a zoning ordinance on second reading which allows the replacement of mobile homes on lots that have existing mobile homes. The board then discussed the need to hold a special meeting to review the charter.

Nearly 50 minutes into the meeting, the board addressed the most anticipated item on the agenda with Williams introducing a three-part motion to re-establish the police department, reinstate Sowell to his original day-time schedule and grant him back pay for the time he was suspended in April, March and June.

Wood seconded the motion with a request to Sowell that he alternate his hours one day each week so as not to advertise times Bethel would be without police protection. Smith and Williams acting in agreement with Wood also voiced the need for Sowell to have a fluctuating schedule.

“I will mix them up,” Sowell said to the board about his work hours.

Cox then said addressing the audience and the board, “I want all of you to remember this does away with the lowering of the sewer. The sewer business is gone.

You just wiped all that out.”

Smith challenged Cox’s statement asking if she had a plan to use the money saved by cutting the department on the sewer.

Cox said that she did and was reviewing the legality of it.

“Did you let them know that MTAS (Municipal Technical Assistance Service) said that we could not transfer the money from the police department to water, did you let the people know that,” Smith said in response.

The board then bickered about this issue with Cox finally saying, “You know as well as I do that this town does not need a police department here in the day time...

The people in this room know that we are burning money out of both ends of that police car..Nobody wants to hurt Pee-Wee’s feelings, I understand that. I don’t want to hurt his feelings.”

Cox then addressed Sowell directly saying that his recently approved unemployment would be in danger if he returned and was fired.

“Don’t point your finger at me. Don’t point your finger at me, Kay,” Sowell responded.

Smith then jumped back into the argument with Cox insisting that the town charter prevented the board from getting rid of the police.

As the discussion again became a shouting match, Cox banged her gavel repeatedly to restore order.

The board then approved the first two parts of the motion, the re-establishment of the department and the reinstatement of Sowell with part three involving back being tabled for further discussion.

In other news about the Bethel Community Center, Bizzell volunteered his time to make repairs to the center provided that the city pay for supplies. In a motion introduced by Smith, she was then given a key to the center to make it easier for authorized groups to gain access to the building. The cleaning of the center was also discussed by the board following a complaint that it was not being cleaned properly.

The city then voted to sell city property in which a house currently sits to its owner, Central Bank, for $2,500.

Cox then addressed a pending lawsuit filed by former employee Jeremy Qualls.

She announced that the city attorney would ask for a dismissal of the case.

Cox also pleaded with audience and community members to contribute to a fund to purchase Christmas presents for the town’s needy children.

In a final piece of business, the board announced that the city’s annual Christmas light contest would be held on Dec. 21 from 5-9 p.m.

Milledgeville Board sells old community center

By Janet Rail Publisher

The Milledgeville mayor and board of aldermen discussed the recent sale of the old community center building for $5,000 to David Raupp along with the old tables and chairs at last Monday’s meeting.

The proceeds from this sale will go toward the purchase of new tables and chairs, a big screen TV/DVD/VHS player and a flag pole for the new community center.

The board discussed the need for city recorder Margie Alexander to attend classes to become a Certified Financial Officer for the city to meet new requirements.

The board discussed receipt of a letter from Keith Whaley, Project Architect from the firm of Barge, Waggoner, Sumner & Cannon working on the CDBG Disaster/ Fire Hall Addition for the city.

The grant budget is $325,000 for construction, plus a $20,000 contingency. The letter discusses options to build a fire truck bay and a safe room with a total square footage of 1,495. Whaley gave suggestions to get the project in budget for the board to consider and approve prior to proceeding.

The board also discussed receipt of a letter to potentially stop the project un-

til it could be determined that the site would not disturb Cherokee Indian burial grounds.

Mayor Dannie Kennedy passed out semi-annual pay checks to the board members. “I appreciate all of you and what you do,” said Kennedy.

“We need to be thinking about what we plan to do with the ballpark and saddle club as I would like it to be used. I would like you all to think about it and let us solicit interest in the use of this property,” said Kennedy.

The board discussed a previous lease agreement with a local saddle club, but the organization has an outstanding balance of more than $1,000 for water bills from past events.

The fire department will have all radios changed out to meet new regulations this month. It was also discussed that the weather siren was not working properly due to four low batteries that needed replacement at a cost of $150 each.

Glover addresses commission on state of Imagination Library

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Dr. Martha Glover told the McNairy County Commission that the Imagination Library has room for another 600 children at its meeting last Monday. This program, which gives books to children under the age of five years, began in 2006. There are now more than 900 children enrolled in the program, but the program could accommodate 1,500 children.

“There are 600 children out there that need to have these books. Anytime you see a child that is less than five years old, please ask that they enroll in Imagination Library,” Glover said.

Studies by the Tennessee Board of Regents show that the program makes a big difference, Glover said.

The program has about $18,000 in the checking account and a $50,000 certificate of deposit. Their annual budget is around $12,000. Money is raised for the program by ad sales for a calendar and by the yearly tea party. The artwork in the calendar is by first graders and kindergarten students in the county and portrays their favorite book. The state appropriates an additional $12,000 every year.

The books are mailed to the child’s home.

“There are all kinds of neat stories parents will tell you about their child wanting to go to the mailbox to see if they have a book that day,” Glover said.

A child that was signed up for the program from birth would receive a total of 60 books, Glover said.

She added that around 1,400 to 1,500 children have completed the program.

In other news from the meeting, the commission approved procedure manuals for the Sheriff’s office and the county jail based upon a recommendation by Law Enforcement Committee Chairman Stan Wheeler.

In old business, the commission approved the nomination of Selmer Mayor David Robinson to serve on the Airport Board Authority. The vacancy was created when Maurice F. Hamm passed away earlier this year. His passing also created a vacancy on the Industrial Development Board. Selmer Alderman John Finlayson has been nominated for this position. The commission will act on this nomination at next month’s meeting.

In old business, the commission approved the lease agreement for the E-911 building. The lease is for $1 per year for the 911 dispatch office and continues as long as the building is used for 911.

McNairy County’s Ghostbusters, Part 2: “They ain’t afraid of no ghosts”

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

In the first part of my series on Ghost Hunters of Southern Tennessee in last week’s Independent Appeal, I told you about an “interview” G.H.O.S.T held with Col. Fielding Hurst during a night they spent at the Hurst mansion.

In part 2, this week I talk to G.H.O.S.T. founder Roger Hill and member Carol Pipkins about the group and more about their night at the Hurst mansion tell you about two more videos from G.H.O.S.T. Pipkins shot the video described in the previous article and the other video on the G.H.O.S.T. Facebook page, that I am about to describe, on her cell phone.

In a second video on their Facebook page, Pipkins asks, “Is this your bedroom?”

Five lights flash on the K-II meter. This is a device that measures the presence of an electromagnetic field on a scale of one light, which is the weakest field it can detect (the “normal” reading) and five, which is the highest.

“They say it’s on the other side, that we are in your daughter’s room. Is that true?” Pipkins asked.

Five lights continue to flash.

“He’s standing here. Right in here,” Hill said as five lights continue to flash.

“My hands are shaking,” Pipkins said.

“Why?” Hill asked.

“I don’t know. I’m not scared. I’ve never seen it so lit up,” Pipkins said.

“It’s amazing when you consider that you’ve got to have high voltage to get that. That’s the highest voltage you can get on an EMF (electromagnetic field detector),” Hill said.

The lights stop flashing.

“Are you still with us? We were talking about how strong you are to light all those lights up,” Hill said as five lights flash again.

After publication deadline, I was given a video not on the group’s Facebook page that was shot by Pipkins on a portable video camera provided by the Independent Appeal.

In this video, Pipkins asks “Hurst” if he burned the town of Purdy and five lights flash.

Hill then asked him if he was sorry and three to five lights flashed.

Pipkins then told him if he was sorry to makes the lights flash and stay on. Three to four lights flashed.

She then says she is going to turn her camera off and all five lights flashed.

Letter to the editor

Fiber – Long Time Coming to Michie and Ramer But It is Here Now Since McNairy County School System began using Fiber for their Internet Connection, Michie and Ramer did not have access to this fast and stable product for their schools. Fiber did not reach these two areas. Driving from Selmer to Ramer and Michie some may have noticed the Pickwick Electric workers running Fiber from the Courthouse to the two schools. The egress is located at the Courthouse which brings the Internet world to the schools and sends information from the schools to the world.

But alias, Fiber has found its way to Michie and Ramer. Through Pickwick Electric and our Internet Provider Educational Networks of America (ENA) the two schools - as of Tuesday, December 4, 2012 have the same access and speed as all other schools in McNairy County. In the past, Michie and Ramer had to use 3-T1(4.5mg per second) lines at these schools. Each school had 3- T1 lines, but it was not enough bandwidth to service the use within the schools. The difference in the speed and access is remarkable. Now the Fiber (80mg per second) is extremely faster for the schools. This means we will have enough bandwidth to access information rapidly. Students and teachers will not have to wait for the information to be on the screen in front of them. Obviously the T1 lines were very sluggish compared to Fiber.

We have been working on accomplishing this goal for several years without success. However, ENA and Pickwick Electric worked together to make this happen.

We would like to thank Pickwick Electric, ENA, and all of their personnel for their hard work and perseverance. On behalf of the students, teachers, personnel, administrators, school board, parents, and anyone I may have left out, a huge recognition goes out to everyone involved in this excellent endeavor.

This will allow students and teachers to access websites for learning, creativity, collaboration, higher level thinking, and research with extreme speed and accuracy. The education and learning websites will be at their fingertips with the velocity of a shooting star. The Stars will be the students as they learn and move forward. Thanks to the workers and everyone responsible for this outstanding accomplishment.

As I have said many times in the past, I would like for interested individuals to visit the schools and see firsthand the excellent progress being made with the use of technology. Contact me and I will be glad to show interested individuals what is happening with technology in our schools. We could not have this progressive learning tool without the dedication of Pickwick Electric and ENA. It is my goal to help every child to be prepared for their future. They need these Internet skills and research no matter their chosen profession. Whatever the students decide to do in life, they must be prepared for the technology available. Carpenters, plumbers, electricians, college bound students, and all workers must have the skills, talents, and expertise in order to succeed in the technology world of today and tomorrow. Technology is a part of all professions. It helps everyone become life-long learners. We must supply the skills for everyone to have a desire to learn and move forward in life.

Again, thanks to Pickwick Electric, ENA, and everyone who helped with this high-speed Internet service.

What better endeavor in this day and time than to help students prepare for the world of tomorrow.

SUNRISE

By David Coy

Expectations During the holiday season people may feel unusually rushed. They are attempting to prepare the family, food and fellowship that will take place during this season. Those of us who are mourning a loved one may or may not feel like taking part in the holiday festivities. Rather, we may be feeling overwhelmed with the flooding of emotions that is assaulting our system and overloading our senses. Therese Rando gives some appropriate expectations that one may give themselves at any time of the year that Is worth repeating here: Your grief will take longer than most people think.

Your grief will take more energy than you would have ever imagined.

Your grief will involve many changes and be continually developing.

Your grief will show itself in all spheres of your life: psychological, social, and physical (also spiritual, emp. mine.

Your grief will depend upon how you perceive the loss.

You will grieve for what you have lost already and for what you have lost for the future.

Your grief will entail mourning not only for the actual person you lost but also for all the hopes, dreams, and unfulfilled expectations you held for and with that person, and for the needs that will go unmet because of the death.

Your grief will involve a wide variety of feelings and reactions, not solely those that are generally thought of as grief, such as depression and sadness.

The loss will resurrect old issues, feelings, and unresolved conflicts from the past. sunrise@sfdcares.com

The Little Library with a BIG Heart

By Kersta Mello

Special to the Independent Appeal

A $14,000 grant received in 2011 from the Secretary of State’s office has been the driving force behind a face lift for the Irving Meek Jr. Public Library in Adamsville in the last year, some paid for by the grant and some donated by a giving community.

“It brings me great pride to know that this money is going to a library that will serve as a staple in the Adamsville community,” Secretary of State Tre Hargett said. “I look forward to seeing the strides the Irving Meek Jr. Library can make with access to wonderful resources and commend the community for coming together to make something great.”

The changes paid for by the grant include a computer room with seven laptops – all with Windows 7 software, a charge hub for the laptops, a projector, a computer with special

handicap features and a paid instructor to teach at least 60 hours of computer classes.

“It has been 25 years since this library was renovated,” Director of the Irving Meek Jr. Public Library Marsha Hutcherson said.

“It was so enlightening and with libraries closing and regions being reorganized, we are honored that we received this grant and so delighted that everyone in the community joined in to make it something special.

It’s hard to sum it up to a percentage or a dollar amount; it’s far and above what I expected. We did everything but lay new brick and slab – there has been a significant change.”

And that heart has kept the library operational for the past 25 years.

“With this renovation, we have had an outpour of community involvement,” said. “From termite damage, to painting, to roofing, this has been a real community effort. It’s hard to put a tangible percent-

Start a new career here

age or amount on the time and money donated by the community.”

A new dent-free drop box courtesy of Mr. Billy Holmes, a local merchant who repairs cars, was just one of the many ways people in the community lent a helping hand.

“He picked it up one day, cleaned it up, and returned it to us, dent-free and with a fresh coat of paint,” Marsha said.

More problems arose in the library. Termites were found in the children’s area through the walls and the bookcases, making it unsafe for children to enjoy the library.

“City employees did most of the work, saving a huge amount on labor costs,” Marsha said.

Additional updates include cosmetic changes like painting of the interior, wallpapering the entryway, gingerbread trim around the windows, plantation shutters on a main window and painting of the sign outside the library.

Cosmetology Training With Style

INSTITUTE OF HAIR DESIGN 205 Enterprise Drive Adamsville, TN Accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts & Sciences

“We also cleaned out a storage closet to provide a private meeting space for library staff and the public to use,” Marsha said.

“Before we really had no private meeting space or anywhere we could even do a conference call, now we have a wonderful space for that.”

The library has also added a softer landing for those who walk, and sit, in the library, with the addition of new area rugs, new couches and benches.

Not all changes were of brand new items, however.

The library received a 16x20 portrait painted by Victor Moore, funds donated

by Bruce Hamblen, President of Farmers and Merchants Bank to be placed in the library. Paintings by Mavoureen Blasingame are now on display thanks to Bernard and Margaret Blasingame and charcoal drawings were found, originally drawn by Art Teacher at Adamsville High School many years ago and framed

by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Jerni-

gan and now hang in a private meeting space in the library.

“The library has become the heart of the community once again,” Marsha said. “It’s turned into a hub where people gather – it’s become an information center, a tutoring center, a place for homeschooling, a place to hold conferences,

it’s just been wonderful what a hotspot it has become.”

“There’s something about holding a book, feeling a book, and smelling a book,” Marsha said.

“Kindles and other devices of the like are wonderful, but there is just something about curling up with a book that brings comfort.”

Celebrate the Season Santa visits Lawton Road

Staff Photo by Amanda Lowrance

By Amanda Lowrance Feature Writer

Santa will be visiting Jack Reynolds this Friday and Saturday at 604 Lawton Road in Selmer, for a free Christmas event. Reynolds’ yard is lit up with a breathtaking display of Christmas lights that reflect off a lake. “We have done this for 10 years and we enjoy doing it,” said Reynolds. “With all the lights we have put up there is a reflection, so really you get two lights with one. In the past I have sat out on the gazebo as Santa for the kids’ sake and people enjoy coming by and looking at it.”

This year a new Santa is coming to town and sporting an $800 suit. The beautiful light display will provide Christmas spirit to even the most grinchy reveler. “We have four floating Christmas trees, a gazebo, stars hanging out over the lake, and so much more,” said Reynolds. This is a must see for anyone who enjoys holiday decorations.

Breakfast with Santa hosted by the McNairy County Carl Perkins Center celebrated their fourth year of spreading Christmas joy last Saturday morning.

“This year was another unprecedented, amazing crowd,” said McNairy County Carl Perkins Center Program Director Luke DeLaVergne. “The entertainment and music really set our event apart. We had incredible community participation.”

The organization would like to give a special thanks to the “Cats in Action” service club at MCHS, Daniel Glover of Institute of Hair Design, Sybil Dancer of the Selmer Civic Center, Marsha Jester of Connector Castings, Marie

Hurst of Dept of Children’s Services, Amanda Lowrance for photos, Santa, Carolyn Simmons of United Stainless for cooking, McDonald’s of Selmer for helping provide an amazing breakfast, Donna Wiegard of State Farm Insurance, Community Involvement Team of Monogram, Melissa Stewart and Jennifer Avanel.

“All of these people and our placemat sponsors made this event not only possible, but enormously successful,” said DeLaVergne.

“This event raised just more than $1,200 for the McNairy County Carl Perkins Center. All of the funds will be used to provide therapeutic services for free to children suffering the effects of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and neglect.”

According to DeLaVergne, next year’s event will feature some new twists that will make this even more amazing.

The gift of hope carries a big package

By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor

Mr. Anthony Huggins is all smiles after shopping at Santa’s gift shop.

What do you hope for today? World peace would be nice. Not sure I will see it in my life time, but to know you had a blessed Christmas and hope for the New Year is also a good thing. Hope is a small word but carries a big package.

When you lose your hope you are in serious trouble. What do I hope for? Well to know that my family is safe in the arms of a loving Savior covers a lot. To know our residents are cared for and happy, also that those two guys in my life that call me Nana are happy this Christmas season.

Well, what more could a girl hope for; new cars and diamonds pale in comparison in my life. What about you? What do

you hope for this holiday season?

This week as I watched our patients and residents shop for their families and themselves at our annual Santa’s gift shop I remember what real hope is like. You see, they still want to buy for their families and share in the giving of gifts. One lady just wanted some cheese puffs and she enjoyed every one of them.

She rolls around in her wheelchair eating and enjoying her cheese puffs. Now that’s the life.

Mr. Anthony Huggins caught my eye. He had both arms loaded down with gifts. He came down the hall in his wheelchair with both arms full and a smile on his face.

Christmas is a time for hope. Hope for better days and a good New Year. As

the season approaches, I remember it sure is a lot more fun to give than receive.

For all of you who gave to our Santa’s Christmas this year, thank you, is sure not enough but I hope will do for now.

To my own church, Second Baptist, I love and appreciate you more every day. We are not only a church, but we are a family of believers who care for each other.

Because I work here and care for my patients, they care also.

Whatever you are hoping for today I personally hope your dreams are met. I have learned sometimes the dreams are as good as the receiving. Next week I will tell you about the last of my greatest gifts.

Until then have a safe holiday season and remember what the season is for.

Until next time.

Lady Cards rise above Lady Cats

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Unfortunately, I made a promise that I could not keep. Luckily, I had friends that allowed me to make good on that promise...at least in spirit...and for that, I am grateful.

Superstition can be a funny thing. It makes people, in some ways, act strangely. I admit that I’m a superstitious person, though the Bible tells me not to be, and I think a lot of people in the “world of sports” are the same way.

I’m not sure how many of my readers notice, but during Adamsville football games, I stand on the opposing sideline. That began when I covered my very first football game. Honestly, I had no idea where to be, stand, snap photos...I was a little lost.

I found myself on Jackson Christian School’s sideline during the 2011 jamboree at Chester County. The Cardinals rolled to an easy victory. The following week, I was back at Chester County for Adamsville’s Week Zero game against the Eagles. I spent the first half on the Cardinal sideline and watched the team fall behind by the time halftime rolled around.

Being the superstitious me that I am, my instincts told me to go back to the opposing sideline, as if my presence was aiding in the Eagle onslaught. Despite the fact that I was clothed in Cardinal garb, I walked back over, stood amongst the Eagles, and AHS came out in the second half and nearly pulled out the victory. I kicked myself after that game for not starting on Chester County’s sideline.

Since then, I’ve covered every Adamsville football game from the visitor’s sideline...or home team depending on the location.

I also tend to wear several things ritually when I cover Adamsville football games. I have a shirt, which is always under whatever I’m wearing. Another item, one I’ve been approached about, is my hat. It’s simply a United States Postal Service hat that I unburied in my garage five years ago. When I am able to dress comfortably, I wear it everywhere I go.

Doing these things, though they’re just randomly insignificant actions, brings me the confidence that I am doing everything within my power to help my alma mater succeed. Like I said, superstitions are funny things.

Back to my broken promise.

During AHS’s playoff run in 2011, I vacationed to Montana for Thanksgiving. It was an opportunity to see my father, grandparents and numerous cousins, aunts and uncles for the first time in a long time; an opportunity I could not pass up. By making that trip, I missed the Cardinals’ Class 2A semifinal game against Dresden. The Cards lost, and I know I had nothing to do with it, but I could not help but feeling somewhat responsible for not being on the opposite sideline, wearing my tattered old hat and lucky t-shirt.

Following Adamsville’s win over Loretto this year, I journeyed to the high school to interview head coach Brandon Gray about the win, as I always do on Saturday mornings. There, after the interview, I promised that I would be there for this year’s matchup with Dresden.

Gray and I both joked about last year’s loss being my fault, so I felt it my duty to be there this time around. Following that interview, which occurred on the morning of Nov. 17, I drove home to begin writing my story. Less than an hour later, I received a phone call from my uncle. The news was not good.

My grandfather had passed away an hour before...about the time I was making my promise.

I suppose my grandfather wanted me to be in Montana more than he wanted me on a sideline taking photos. My travel arrangements were set, as were the funeral arrangements, and I was now unable to attend this year’s semifinal matchup with Dresden.

In my life, family always comes first. There is no substitution for

The last time the Lady Cardinals beat the Lady Bobcats on the basketball court, George W. Bush’s approval rating was still above 50 percent, and the Tennessee Volunteers were the most recent SEC team to claim a national championship.

The Lady Bobcats’ 19-game win streak was all but over when Taylor Hutton drilled a three-pointer to put the Lady Cardinals up 53-52 with 11 seconds left in overtime. The shot led to Adamsville’s first win over McNairy Central since 2002.

“We had run a play for (Shakeema) Dilworth, and Dilworth caught it and kicked it.

When [Hutton] hit that shot, I thought the roof was going to come off this place,” said Lady Cardinal head coach Kevin McClain.

“That’s a very good basketball team over there, and they’re going to compete in 2A, so it meant a lot to beat them.”

Mallorie Sweat, who led the Lady Cats with 14 points, scored the first overtime points for either team three and a half minutes into the extra period.

McNairy Central controlled the pace for the first three quarter and held a 41-31 lead when the fourth quarter began, but Adamsville shaved that lead all the way down.

Simone Wilson came up with a huge block for the Cards with 20 seconds left in regulation and picked up the loose ball. She hit Dilworth, who had nine big points in the game, with the outlet pass, and she was fouled on her way up for two points. Dilworth hit the back end of two to tie the game 49-49 and force overtime.

Bobcats claw win from Cardinals

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

It might not have been the prettiest game ever played, but the Bobcats picked up their third consecutive win over the Cardinals when the rivals met at “The Nest” on Dec. 4.

Defensive tenacity fueled McNairy Central's motor in the six-point victory as the Bobcats fought off a late Cardinal surge in the fourth quarter.

“The guys played really hard, we just didn't play well,” said Bobcat head coach Steve Forsythe. “There is a lot of emotion that goes with this game, and we let that affect us.

An ugly win is always better than a loss, so we will take it.”

Led by CJ Barnes' 14 points, the Bobcats shot 48 percent from the field and scored 28 of their points in the paint.

Though it did not hurt the team in the end, McNairy did struggle at the line and from

beyond the arch, hitting only 10 of their 21 free throw attempts and one of five from the three point line.

Adamsville began the fourth quarter with a 10-point deficit after trailing by six at halftime. With a little more than three minutes to play, freshman Dakorea Dilworth sank a three-pointer to pull the Cards within three.

Stuart Littlejohn's free throws with 1:24 left put MCHS up 42-37 as both student sections were stretching their vocal chords to the limit.

The gym erupted when Ross Burcham hit a shot to cut the lead back to three with less than 40 seconds left on the clock, but the game ended in Bobcat applause as McNairy closed out the game by knocking down three of their last four from the stripe.

For the Cardinals, it was the team’s first game at full force as the football players returned to the gym to rejoin their basketball teammates.

Lady Card bowlers 6-1 with two matches to play

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Breanna Taylor throws a strike down the lane at Savannah Bowling Center.

She had a high game of 174 in Adamsville win over Munford.

Rolling right along, the Adamsville Lady Cardinal bowlers are smoothly cruising toward the Region 8 Tournament after winning two matches with ease last week.

On Nov. 4, the girls demolished Dyersburg 26.50.5, and last Wednesday they manhandled Munford 26-1 to improve to 6-1.

Against Dyersburg, Amron Forsythe led the Lady Cards, who bowled well as a team, with a high game of 190. Kanesha Wright turned in games of 180 and 171 while Nicole Ross had a high game of 179. Emily Surratt was also strong with games of 175 and 174.

The following day, Munford’s fate was not much different than Dyerburg’s. Forsythe was throwing stones and had games of 213 and 209. Breanna Taylor had a high game of 174 while Wright rolled a 166 and Ross a 163.

Adamsville’s boys were not victorious in either match, but they did show improvement from past matches. The Cardinals lost to Dyersburg 22-5, and they fell to Munford 20-7. Tyler Hollin had a strong game against Munford and rolled a 199. Gage Roberts had a high game of 176, and Brad Wilkins had a 166. Against Munford, Roberts had a team-high 169, and Jonathon McDonald was right behind with a 168.

The Lady Cardinals will try to avenge their only loss of the season when they take on the defending state champion Hardin County Lady Tigers at Savannah Bowling Center on Wednesday, beginning at 3:30 p.m.

The team will follow that match up with a region double-header on Thursday in Bartlett, Tenn. The two matches against Munford and Brighton will be the last of the regular season. The postseason will also be held in Bartlett and begins on January 9.

The Lady Bobcats spread the scoring out as Zipporah Woods finished with 11 points, and Mikaela Rowland and Porsha Chappell each had 10, but MCHS had 27 turnovers in the contest.

The Lady Cardinals also enjoyed balanced scoring with Hutton getting nine points, and Wilson dropping seven.

Freshman Robin Moore made a solid contribution with eight points.

The Lady Cats found themselves trailing 18-14 after the first quarter, but they decided it was time to turn on the defense in the second.

The girls got the offense rolling as well and outscored the Lady Indians 15-8 to take a 29-26 lead into halftime.

“This was another hard fought win that went down to the wire,” said head coach Jerry Lott. “Our bench came in and did a good job when we had starters in foul trouble.”

The Lady Bobcats (6-1, 1-0) will try to pick up their second district win on Friday when they travel to Jackson Central-Merry for a bought with Lady Cougars.

The Bobcats played hard, but had a hard time scoring against the Hernando Tiger defense. The Bobcats found themselves down 15-3 after the first quarter, and this was a hole of which they could not dig out.

CJ Barnes, led the Bobcats with 13 points, and helped his team outscore the Tigers in the second and third quarters. Unfortunately, the Tigers were able to make a late run in the fourth quarter and pulled the game back out of reach.

“You can see from our shooting percentages that we couldn't throw it in the ocean,” said head coach Steve Forsythe. “This was a terrible game. We didn't do much right. They only scored 45 points but it was because they didn't shoot well either, we gave them some good looks, they couldn't make one either. We were not aggressive at all. We only had eight fouls for the game.”

The shooting was not the only issue, according to Forsythe.

“We started off slow and never recovered. I believe we also still had Tuesday's game on our minds,” he added.

“We have to learn to move on to what's ahead and forget yesterday.”

Most people think that once the BlueCross Bowl is over, football season is too. That is simply not the case.

Last Saturday, five county high school football players made their way to Liberty High School in Jackson, Tenn. for the firstever Sports Plus West Tennessee Football All-Star game.

McNairy Central’s Kooper Davis and Adamsville’s Josh Chappell, Blake Elrod, Dalton Plunk and Dustin Plunk, were selected to represent the South in the inaugural all-star festivities.

Each of the five county players saw playing time in the game, and Dustin Plunk had the opportunity to drill home a few extra points to add to the South’s lead. He was successful as he split time kicking with University School of Jackson’s Troy Smigielski.

“I enjoyed it,” said Adamsville head coach Brandon Gray. “It was good to see them get to play, and I was proud of my guys for making it. All of them got to play, and all of them did well. Dalton got a lot of snaps at quarterback, and I think Elrod played the whole game as an offensive guard.”

Chappell and Davis saw time in the trenches, going up against some of the biggest and best in the state.

The game itself was a lop-sided one as the South defeated the North 27-0. Hardin County’s Jordan Lambert caught the first touchdown of the game for the South, and the team proceeded to turn the competitive fun into a blowout.

Middleton Adamsville

The Lady Cardinals fought hard in their first district match-up of the year with the Lady Tigers of Middleton, but they were unable to come away with a victory at home. The boys fared no better.

Middleton Adamsville

The Cardinals were excited to get on the court and play their game against district rival Middleton, but that excitement did not transition to a good start against the Tigers.

46 37

Both teams needed some time to get into an offensive rhythm as the Lady Cards and Tigers struggled in the first quarter, making both defenses look good.

Starting with a 9-4 deficit in the second quarter the Cardinals, led by Shakeema Dilworth, got the offense in motion. The Cardinals were able to make a run at the Tigers and take a 19-17 lead going into the locker room at halftime, but a Middleton explosion was looming in the third.

“In the second quarter we came back and took the lead 19-17 going into halftime, but in the third quarter they went on a 10-3 run and we could never recover from that,” said Lady Cardinal head coach Kevin McClain. “Middleton is a good basketball team, but we came out really flat.”

The Lady Cardinals came out in the third quarter still with a lot of fight left in them. Unfortunately, the Cardinals could not control the turnovers. The Tigers were able to make a 10-3 run late in the third quarter, and the Lady Cards found themselves down 30-26 going into the final period and ended the game staring at a nine-point deficit and a loss in their district-opener.

The Cardinals came out full of energy at the beginning of the game, but somehow, none of that could be turned into offense. Adamsville could not get shots to fall, and the team was only able to slow down the strong Middleton attack, not stop it. The Cards found themselves in a big hole when the second quarter began.

“We won the last three quarters, it's just that we lost the first quarter,” said AHS head coach Nathaniel Root.

“We got down 19-3 in the beginning, and it's hard to fight back against a team like that. You spend so much energy trying to get back, and we just didn't have anything left in the end.”

In the second quarter, the Cardinals showed their heart. The Redbirds fought back and kept working with their offense, the play improved from the big men in the middle as Ross and Lane Burcham seemed to get more comfortable on the court in only their second games back from football, but Adamsville trailed 29-12 at halftime.

The Cards came out in the third quarter determined to claw back into this game. The offense did everything it could and outscored the Tigers in the third quarter 17-14.

Unfortunately, the Cardinals still found themselves in a hole that they had to climb out of.

The Redbirds never lost their fight. In fact, seven of leading scorer Tyler Hammock's 10 points came in the fourth quarter. Although the heart and fight that Adamsville displayed was impressive, the deficit in which they found themselves at the end of the first quarter was too much for them to come back.

Cardinal leading scorer, Tyler Hammock, takes the ball down the baseline against the strong Middleton defense.

How to play: Pick a winner for each of the 35 bowl games. On a scale of 1-35, rate each game according to your confidence level for the selected outcome. Each number, 1-35, should be used ONLY ONCE. If you get the selection correct, you will be awarded the point total assigned to that game. For example, if you select Alabama to beat Notre Dame and give it a 33-point confidence rating, you will receive 33 points if Alabama wins, but you cannot use 33 for another game. If you miss the selection, you will be awarded no points. The three top contestants with the most confidence points following the final bowl game will receive a prize.

The Independent Appeal would like to welcome everyone back for another year of our College Bowl Pick’em.

Last year’s game was quite successful, so we’ve brought it back for another year of fun, but this isn’t your average pick’em, so if you’re new to the game, here’s how it works.

First, select a winner for each of the 35 bowl games.

Next, assign a confidence rating to each game using numerals 1-35. Each number can be used only once, so don’t try to pull a slick one and make every game worth 35 points. Your submission will be tossed into my garbage can if you do.

It’s really quite simple, each game has a box between the two teams competing in the bowl.

Inside that box, rate your confidence accordingly. For instance, if I have absolutely no idea who will win between San Jose State and Bowling Green, I may make that game worth one or two points so I don’t take the risk of losing a lot of points on teams I know nothing about. Conversely, say I’m positive that Oregon is going to beat Kansas State. I might then make that bowl my 35-point game.

Since there are 35 games receiving a rating of 1-35, the highest possible point total at the end of the competition is 630, but I’m sure no one will end up with a score that high.

Confidence points make bowl picking much more fun.

Instead of just getting the selection correct, you know you have a set point-value assigned to each game that could pay off in a big way.

Do not forget to predict the final score of the BCS National Championship game between Alabama and Notre Dame for tie-breaking purposes. Entries without a tiebreaker run the risk of not being eligible for prizes.

After all your winners are picked and confidence ratings set, submit your entry to our office by 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 14.

Entries may also be faxed to the office at (731) 645-3591.

First, second, and third place finishers will receive a prize. If the amount of entries is high enough, scoring updates will be viewable in our sports section each Wednesday until the contest concludes.

Good luck to everyone, and happy bowling to you all. If you have questions, concerns or comments regarding the game, please feel free to reach me at our office - (731) 645-5346.

Locker Better Than Luck In Loss The Indianapolis Colts (9-4, 3-1) stormed back in the second half of their second game with the Tennessee Titans (4-9, 0-5) to pull off a 27-23 win, leaving them submerged in the AFC playoff battle while the Titans begin thinking about offseason moves. Jake Locker matched Andrew Luck with two interceptions, but Locker outproduced the Indy rookie with 262 passing yards to Luck’s 196. The Titans led 20-7 at halftime, but the Colts scored 14 unanswered points in the third quarter before icing the game with two field goals in the fourth. Tennessee will try to snap a three-game losing skid with a Monday Night Football home game against the New York Jets (6-7, 2-3).

Vols Hire Butch Jones Butch Jones became the University of Tennessee’s fourth head football coach in six seasons. Jones, who arrives in Knoxville with a 5027 after six years split between Central Michigan and most recently Cincinnati, will take over a program that is coming off three consecutive losing seasons. During a press conference, the new coach said that he is assuming control of “the best college football program in America.”

Jones reportedly signed a six-year contract and will not be coaching the Bearcats against Duke in the BELK Bowl on Dec. 27.

Grizzlies sport NBA’s third-best record The Memphis Grizzlies have started the season on fire, winning 14 of their first 18 games. The team is currently third in the West behind San Antonio and Oklahoma City. Led

by Zach Randolph’s nightly double-double and Rudy Gay’s 19 points per game, the Griz have proven to be a formidable opponent and playoff contender with early wins over the Heat, Knicks, Thunder, and Lakers. Memphis will hit the road for a three-game road trip, beginning in Phoenix Wednesday night at 8 p.m.

Eagles hold on in overtime thrillers Tigers clip Eagles Sports Writer

Everyone that attended Adamsville and Ramer’s games last Thursday night certainly got their money’s worth with both games needing extra periods to determine the outcomes.

Lady Eagles Lady Cardinals

36 29

Leading 11-4 going into the second quarter, the Lady Cardinals kept going with their strong and held a 19-6 lead at halftime. Abbey Martin found her home in the paint as she led the Lady Cardinals with 10 points.

After taking a punch in the mouth in the first half, Ramer shook it off and came out ready to fight in the second.

The offense struggled, but the defense stepped up and held Adamsville scoreless in the third. The offense, led by Olivia Harris’ 12 points, came alive in the fourth quarter to make a nine-point deficit disappear and force overtime, but one overtime was not enough.

The second overtime would show just how deep a bench that each team had. Both coaches had players in foul trouble or on the sidelines trying to catch their breath in this long game.

It was Adamsville at the free-throw line in the final seconds of the second overtime. Ramer’s Halle Jobe had fouled out of the game, and the Cardinals had the chance to tie or take the lead.

After missing the first and hitting the second, the Cardinals were tied 28-28 and headed to a third overtime. Fatigue showed on both sides. Both teams were tired, but it was the Eagles who were able to find the strength and make it through. Going on a quick six-point run at the beginning of the third overtime, the Eagles were able to hang on for a 36-29 victory.

“Adamsville is a well coached team and played very well,” said Ramer head coach Vonda Jobe. “We were down 13 points at the half but the girls never quit. They hustled the entire ballgame. We had trouble hitting the basket, but our defense helped us tie the game. The girls gave everything they had throughout the game and all three overtimes, and I’m extremely proud of them.”

The Ramer Eagle boys and girls came away with wins on the road in Walnut, Miss., last Saturday.

The Lady Eagles won their game 24-11, and the Eagles won theirs 48-32.

For the Lady Eagles it was an impressive defensive effort, holding Walnut to less than five points in every quarter. On the offensive side, Halle Jobe led Ramer with eight points.

prove every game, I am very proud of our girls,” said head coach Vonda Jobe.

The boys’ result was the same though the team had to battle through foul trouble. Austin Brown led the way with 18 points.

“Walnut is a good team,” said head coach Jeremy Blakely. “We had five guys in foul trouble at different points in the game.

Our bench came up big by contributing 29 of the 48 points...I was just happy to escape with a win.”

Ramer came into the game unbeaten and walked out of the game unbeaten, but it was not without receiving an overtime scare on the road in Adamsville.

Adamsville led 8-4 after one, but Ramer’s offense woke up in the second quarter. Kameron Atkins led the way as his team gained the momentum and went on a 15-2 run to take a 19-10 lead into the locker room at halftime.

“The second quarter was our downfall tonight,” said head coach Chad Austin. “If we can eliminate those bad quarters and execute better, good things will happen down the road.”

The Cardinals rallied back, behind Tyler Luna and Kyle Moore, and outscored the Eagles 11-9.

The Cardinal defense clamped down in the fourth quarter and allowed the Eagles just three points. This helped the offense battle back to send the game into overtime tied at 31-31.

The Eagles took a quick lead and the Cardinals were not able to recover, enabling Ramer’s undefeated season to continue.

“This was an exciting game,” said Eagle head coach Jeremy Blakely. “We played exceptionally well at some points and terribly at some points. Adamsville is a great team and was well prepared. Kameron Atkins had one of his best games of the year, and Chase Burdette hit free throws in overtime to seal the win.”

Night of firsts for Michie

Spirit

From Page 1B

those in life that cannot be replaced – your blood, the people that will always love you unconditionally. With that in mind, I went to the Cardinal coaching staff to tell them I would not be there for the Dresden game.

At first, they looked at me in disbelief, like, “You literally just said you would be there.”

Of course, I explained the situation and they understood.

When I brought them this news, they gave me their condolences, and they were appreciated, but, selfishly, I wanted more than that, so I made what I thought to be an odd request.

I asked if someone from the team could take my battered and torn, blue hat and place it somewhere in enemy territory, somewhere on the Dresden sideline where I would have been if I were able to attend the game. Despite the unordinary request, the coaches adhered to it.

They allowed me the comfort of being with the team without actually being with the team. All the while, I was able to be with my family – the ones that needed me most.

The Cardinals went out of their way to make a sorrowfilled young man feel needed and appreciated, and for that, I am forever grateful. My hat was placed on the sideline at Dresden, and it even had a young man keeping watch over it so that it would not be stolen.

For that, Mr. Wesley Rainey, I thank you. I know the opposite sideline can be an unforgiving, inhospitable place, but you stood your ground and guarded my hat – in essence, you were guarding my spirit.

I told my family about my request, and let them know that it was handled without issue. They were grateful as well. It meant a lot to them to know I had friends at home sending up prayers for my grandfather.

To the Cardinal Football Program, I say thank you. It was a gesture that my family and I truly appreciate. Your kindness and acceptance will not be forgotten, and I hope that your willingness to help a Cardinal in need during his time of grieving and loss is rewarded when you all are called home to Glory.

Last Thursday was Selmer’s homecoming night, but it was also a night of first for their opponents from Michie.

Lady Lions Lady Blue Devils

41 26

For the first time in 25 games, the Michie Lady Blue Devils were not on the winning end of things last Thursday night when they rolled into the Lion Den in Selmer.

“We know their game plan would involve shutting Selika McCord down and forcing other players to do the scoring,” said Lady Lion head coach Robin York, “of which our team took complete advantage. This was our best offensive game with scoring distributed across seven players.”

McCord ended up with 11 points and nine rebounds despite Michie’s best efforts, but Desiree Weatherspoon was Selmer’s leading scorer with 13 points. Matching Weatherspoon’s performance, Michie’s Jourdan Dengler also scored 13 points to lead the Lady Blue Devils.

“We played well for three quarters but just couldn’t find our rhythm in the fourth quarter,” said Michie head coach Bridget Merry.

“We’ll use this game as a learning experience and be ready next time.”

Unfortunately, the Lady Blue Devils (7-2, 3-1) were not ready enough. The took a tough 29-26 loss at home last Monday when Alcorn Central paid a visit. Dengler led the team in scoring once again, this time with eight points.

For Selmer (6-2, 4-0), the win gave the team sole possession of first place in the county.

Fittingly enough, on the night the Michie girls lost their first game of the year, the boys happened to win their first.

Clint Coleman's 20 points gave the Blue Devils just enough to get past the Lions, who watched a three-point halftime lead turn into a five-point deficit by the time the fourth quarter began.

“We shot 4-of-13 from the free-throw line and missed easy buckets to put the game away,” said Selmer head coach Stacy Riley.

“We have to learn to finish the game and put teams away when we have a chance. Michie did a great job knocking down free throws and making shots when it counted.”

Debarrian Marcell had a team-high eight points for the Lions, but Selmer missed 27 layups, leading to a three-point loss.

Michie (1-8, 1-3) went on to fall 60-49 at home to Alcorn Central last Monday. Jarrett Mask scored 16 points in the loss, and newcomer Dylan Whirley matched it with 16 points of his own. Whirley made his debut with the team against Selmer (1-7, 0-4).

Bethel survives two on homecoming night

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The Bethel Rebels hosted their basketball homecoming last Monday night and came away with two wins against Savannah Christian Academy.

The boys got a lot of help from Dylan Crabb and Avery Davis on their way to escaping with a 40-38 victory against a scrappy Eagles team.

Crabb led the team with 13, and Davis finished the night with 10 points to account for more than 50 percent of Bethel’s scoring.

The Lady Rebels came away with a win on homecoming night, but theirs was a bit more convincing.

Katie Turner stepped up for Bethel and dropped 11 points in a 27-18 win for the Lady Rebs.

With the win, the Lady Rebels (7-2, 2-2) are nipping at the heels for Selmer and Michie as the county tournament draws nearer.

The Rebels (7-2, 3-1) look to avenge their only county loss of the season Thursday when the team travels to Ramer for a big game with the Eagles.

McNairy County 4-H members lend helping hand

Submitted Photo

Twenty 4-H members and volunteer leaders in the McNairy County 4-H Honor Club served a meal at the Regional Inter-Faith Association (R.I.F.A.) soup kitchen in Jackson, Tenn., on Saturday, Dec. 1. Members pictured: (Front) Eli Belk, Amanda Cutler, Mary Cutler, and James Cutler; (Middle) Doreen Flatt, Aqua Bradley, Alexis Wynn, Madison Flatt, Danielle Harstin, Briana Wilson, Heather McCormick, and Samantha Martin; (Back) Kenda Scales, Kadria Scales, Sonya Perrigo, Kalaya Wynn, Porsha Chappell, Courtney Mayatte, and Deaundra White. This activity was part of the county-wide service project by McNairy County 4-H this year. Honor Club gives leadership to the countywide service project by selecting the organization to sponsor. This year McNairy County 4-H Honor Club chose R.I.F.A. because of their hunger-fighting ministries, including the soup kitchen and a school backpack program. All McNairy County 4-H Clubs are being encouraged to donate food to the R.I.F.A. backpack program through the 4-H service project named “Backpack Snackpack.” This program provides easy-to-fix weekend food to low-income school children in Jackson. McNairy County Extension offers programs in agriculture and natural resources, 4-H youth development, family and consumer sciences, and resource development. The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture and McNairy County governments are cooperating. UT Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment.

Duck Dynasty star to visit Freed Hardeman University HENDERSON, Tenn. - The Freed-Hardeman University athletic department has a history of bringing in former college and professional athletes and coaches as the keynote speakers of the annual Sports Advisory Council Benefit Dinner.

That won’t change for the 2013 dinner, but the reason the speaker has achieved national fame will be a little different.

Freed-Hardeman will welcome Phil Robertson, star of the highly popular television show “Duck Dynasty” on A&E, as the featured speaker of the dinner Saturday, May 4, 2013.

“We are excited to have Phil Robertson as our speaker for the 2013 SAC Benefit,” said FHU Athletic Director Mike McCutchen. “While he has been well-known among duck hunters for a long time, A&E’s ‘Duck Dynasty’ has given us all a glimpse into what Phil, and his family, are all about. Millions of viewers are able to see faith and family values, in action. We are all in for a great evening when Phil Robertson comes to Freed-Hardeman University.”

The event begins at 4:30 p.m.in the Brewer Sports Center with a silent auction of sports memorabilia. Photo opportunities with Robertson begin at 5 p.m. and dinner will be served at 6 p.m. A live auction will take place at 7 p.m. followed by the keynote speech

by Robertson at 7:30 p.m.

Robertson, who was born and reared in Vivian, La., was a standout high school athlete in football, baseball and track. He attended Louisiana Tech on a football scholarship

and played first-string quarterback ahead of NFL Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw. Robertson took a different career path than did Bradshaw, teaching for several years before turning his passion for hunting and fishing into a livelihood for a family that by then included his wife, Kay and their four sons Allan, Jase, Willie and Jeptha.

Never satisfied with the duck calls that were on the market, Robertson began to experiment with making a call that would produce the exact sound of a duck. And so, in 1972, the first Duck Commander call was born. Phil received a patent for this call and the Duck Commander Company was incorporated in 1973.

In the mid-70’s, Robertson made another important call when he turned his life over to God and made dramatic changes in the way he was living. He is now not only known as the Duck Commander but is also building a reputation all over the country for his faith and belief in the Almighty.

Duck Commander is still a family business with all four sons and their wives working for the company at one time or another. Not long after the success of the calls, Phil began a series of videos that developed a worldwide fan base of fellow duck hunters.

Tickets and sponsorships are available through the Freed-Hardeman Athletics Office.

General admission tickets begin at $15 for students and $25 for adults, and sponsorship packages begin at $300. For more information, contact Tresa Carter or Mike McCutchen at 731-989-6900.

Ladies of the Court

By Katelyn Moore

Basketball is a tough game that is played on a court by two opposing teams of 5 players; points are scored by throwing the ball through an elevated horizontal hoop. Sound hard?

Not to our four senior baskteball girls at McNairy Central High School.

Breanna Burge is a small forward on the team. She says her goal for this year is to play as a team, make it as far as she can, and become more of a family with the team. “Mikaela Rowland is my favorite player on the team. She can be a motivator. She’s very positive, and she sees things that I see.

She can make things happen on the court.” Burge says in order to improve the game there should be no ball hogs and they should play as a team. She says the team’s strengths on the court consists of speed, jumping, good post, being able to drive through the gaps, and at times very good defense. “I was a tomboy and basketball became my favorite sport. I’d watch NBA games and I began to play street ball with my uncles and their friends. My father’s

side of the family played so I picked it up. My mom doesn’t know anything about basketball, but she always told me I can be great and do what I set my mind to.” Burge says it feels great being a senior. “I am able to see how the past leaders felt, but I can be a better leader in myself. I can be a good role model and learn from my mistakes.”

Mikaela Rowland is a forward who plays post and wing on the team. She says that her goal is trying to make it to state. “The team can improve on trusting each other with the ball. This is the first time we have actually played together, this starting five.” Rowland says her

Senior Lady Cats (l to r) Zipporah Woods, Brianna Phelps, Mikaela Rowland, and Breanna Burge. favorite player on the team is Zipporah Woods. “She always manages to make me smile, and encourage me. The team has gotten better at talking to one another.” Rowland said her motivation in basketball was her mom. “My mother actually made me play, and I just fell in love.”

Brianna Phelps is a point guard and post. She enjoys playing with a great group of girls, and giving God all the glory no matter what the outcome is. “I feel so free, as if my dad is smiling and telling me how proud he is of me.” Her favorite basketball memory is, “when Coach Price fell out of her chair, and when someone threw gum in Coach Price’s hair.

Also when Burge shot the ball so hard she hit the shot-

clock in a game.” She started playing basketball when she was two years old for Selmer Parks and Recreation. “It was always my dad’s dream for me and I vow everyday to accomplish it.” Phelps says basketball has always been something she loved to do.

“God is a big part of my life and if basketball is my opportunity, I will do it.” After graduation, she plans to attend MTSU on an ROTC scholarship. “I will major in medicine and minor in youth ministry.

I hope to get a basketball scholarship to play at MTSU as well.” Phelps has a lot that she is going to miss about MCHS. “My teachers: There is always someone to talk to.

They are always happy no matter what. Mr. Stroup: He is awesome. He keeps me laughing and constantly picks on me. Fun years! My basketball team and coaches: I have grown and matured with each girl and coach on the team. They know my weaknesses and my advantages.

They are all family, and are loved and will be missed very much. FCS: It felt so good to hear the word of God every Wednesday of every week.

It makes my day tons better.

My sister: Haven will be here by herself and she will have to make choices for herself.

I love her and she will be missed a lot.”

Independent Appeal v Page 7b

Financial aid McNairy County 4-H competes at state available at University of Memphis Students who have applied for admission to the University of Memphis for the fall of 2013 are currently being evaluated for scholarship eligibility. A variety of scholarships are funded by the University and by private donors. In addition to academic scholarships, there are scholarships for adult students, community college graduates, transfer students, departmental scholarships, and scholarships for first-generation college students.

Scholarships are awarded based on information submitted on the University of Memphis application for admission. A separate scholarship application is not required unless noted. The priority deadline for admitted students to the University of Memphis for scholarship consideration is Feb. 1.

All University of Memphis first-time freshman scholarship awards are based on a combination of ACT/SAT scores and cumulative high school grade point average. These scholarships are four-year, renewable awards requiring full-time enrollment. Early application to the University of Memphis is strongly encouraged, because scholarship awards are limited.

Applicants for any type of financial aid must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.gov..

Financial assistance also is provided through grants, loans and employment. The University operates two programs of student employment: the Federal Work-Study Program and a regular student worker program.

Students eligible for the State of Tennessee HOPE Scholarship Program (Lottery Scholarship) must complete the FAFSA as specified by the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation. More information on the program is available at the HOPE Lottery Scholarship website, www.tn.gov/CollegePays.

In the fall of 2012, 631 academic scholarships worth more than $1.4 million were awarded to 26 percent of the freshmen class.

More than $200 million in other financial aid is awarded annually.

Many thanks to our sponsors: BancorpSouth, Home Banking Corporation, the McNairy County Farm Bureau, Mid-South Farmers Co-Op, and the Western Region Endowment. The team received a $275.00 Farm Bureau donation as well.
