Savannah couple charged with murder

By Jeff Whitten

2013 SPRING SPORTS PREVIEW

Head News Writer

A Savannah couple has been arrested by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and Savannah Police Department and charged with the first degree murder of Peggy Alexander, 71, also of Savannah, according to a press release from the TBI. Christopher King Knight, 32, and his wife, Tonya Knight, who is originally from Adamsville and attended school there, have each been charged with one count of first degree murder in the case.

On March 10, Christopher Knight called the police around 9 a.m. and reported that he found his mother dead in the home they shared.

According to a preliminary investigative report filed by Sgt. Mark Mitchell and provided by Savannah Police Chief Donald Derr, Knight told Mitchell that the last time he saw his mother alive was around 11:30 the previous night. Knight also said it was not unusual for him not to see his mother for a day or two, despite the fact that they live in the same house and their rooms were next to each other.

Knight told Mitchell that he had left the house that morning, went to the bank to get some money and then ate breakfast at a fast food restaurant. He found his mother dead when he came back and called 911, staying on the line until Mitchell arrived.

The Violent Crime Response Team from the Memphis Crime Lab responded and gathered evidence from the scene.

TBI agents believe that Alexander was murdered between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m on March 10.

In the investigation, which was also assisted by the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department, evidence of a strained relationship between Alexander and the Knights was uncovered. Alexander allegedly expressed a desire to move and change her will in regards to Christopher Knight, who admitted using his mother’s debit card to withdraw $60 from her account, Derr said.

The Knights were arrested on March 11, Derr said. They were booked into the Hardin County Jail.

Christopher Knight’s bail was set at $1 million and Tonya Knight’s bail was set at $500,000.

The 24th Judicial District Attorney’s Office requested that the TBI assist in the investigation.

‘A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court’ in Selmer

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

Staff Photo by Christen Coulon

Actors in “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” prepare for their show in a dress rehearsal last Monday at the Latta Building in Selmer. The play is scheduled for three shows this weekend.

Arts in McNairy will host a youth production of Twain’s classic tale “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court at the Latta Building in Selmer this weekend.

The story of a modern man of high intelligence being instantly transported to the storied court of the 10th century, King Arthur is certainly as intriguing now as when it was written.

The production features a large youth cast of nearly two dozen local young adults, including Youth Director Hunter Steel.

The leading role in the play is Hank, who is the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. Hank is played by Houston Robinson. Patrons of the local arts will recognize Robinson from his previous roles as The Mad Hatter in “Alice in Wonderland” and as a cast-member in the AiM production of “Bye Bye Birdie.”

“The kids are much more enthusiastic and are much more willing to put in the effort,” said the show’s director Joanna Pitts. “We are very excited. The kids have done a great job, and I am confident that they will put on a great show.”

Pitts said that local audiences will enjoy watching as the titular character, with his modern ideas and items, interacts with the other characters in their own timeline.

She said that it is hard to imagine how someone would really react when thrust into the Dark Ages.

The will be this Friday at 7:30 p.m. with additional shows Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m. Admission for each show is $10 for adults and $5 for students.

This show is appropriate for all ages.

Adamsville approves park repairs

By Jeff Whitten

Independent Appeal v Page 3A

City of Selmer rehires auditors

By Jeff Whitten

Head News Writer

Head News Writer

The Adamsville City Commission approved a $17,000 expenditure to repair the city park at the request of Parks and Recreation Director Greg Martin at its meeting last Monday. These repairs will be paid for by moving a CD to the general fund. The funds were originally earmarked to buy addition land for parks.

Items slated for repair are the replacement of roofs over the pavillion, picnic tables and gazebo. Also, included in the project is the resurfacing of the tennis courts and the walking track.

“We have to take care of what we already have. It’s well worth the money spent,” Martin told the commission.

The commission also voted to attempt to get someone from the city certified as a building inspector. The state currently conducts inspections and gets the almost all of the approximately $500 fee, while the city only gets $15.

The city will offer this opportunity first to qualified city employees before going outside its ranks to look for a trainee. The city has also been investigating contracting the work out to a nearby town, but it appears at this point this would not save the city much money in the case of Hardin County, according to Mayor David Leckner.

The board heard presentations from Dwight Luton, President of D2 Energy, on a pass through billing plan, natural gas storage and compressed natural gas vehicles.

Luton called the pass-through, which allows the price charged gas customers to float with the market price for natural gas, plus other costs, the fairest way for the city and its customers and a prudent management tool. At current market prices, the plan would reduce gas bills by 20 percent.

“It’s a fair way of doing it because it lets the customer pay for the actual cost, including the price of the gas,” Luton said.

Luton told the commission that storage for natural gas would cost around $15,000 to $16,000 a year.

“It’s a good possibility that you can save that much or more,” Luton said.

The commission voted to give the mayor the authority to sign a contract for storage with all members voting for it, except Commissioner Tommy Morris, who passed.

The commission took no action on purchasing natural gas vehicles, pending clarification of the cost.

Billy Austin complained to the board that the sign ordinance was being enforced against him but not against others.

“I’ll give you a minute,” Leckner told him before he spoke.

Austin presented some pictures of other alleged violations to the board, but Leckner said some of them were by government, which is not covered by the ordinance.

At one point Austin attempted to speak further, but the mayor told him he was not recognized. When Austin asked Leckner to be recognized, the mayor told him he could not.

Leckner then moved to adjourn, but the motion failed for lack of a second.

Later, Commissioner Frank Lacey moved to adjourn and to apply the sign ordinance equitably. Leckner then seconded the motion, and the meeting adjourned.

Adamsville City Commissioner Tommy endures some good-natured kidding as he is presented with an award for his service in the Korean Conflict at the Adamsville meeting last Monday night.

The Selmer Board of Aldermen rehired Godwin & Associates as auditors for the 2012-2013 audit at their March 12 meeting.

“Their price remains the same. They’ve done a very good job,” said Mayor David Robinson about the Savannah, Tenn., accounting firm.

The board also approved proposed changes to the Department of Parks and Recreation rental form, five-year plan, field rental form, maintenance checklist and scholarship application in their eight-minute meeting.

The five-year plan envisages the development of Dixie Park at a cost of over $230,000 this year and other improvements. Goals for next year include resurfacing the walking trail at the City Park for $100,000, the basketball courts there for $20,000 and upgrades to the pool house for $10,000.

In 2015, the plan includes $200,000 worth of additions to the community center and a $30,000 resurfacing of the tennis courts.

The plan aspires to a $1.5 million sports complex in 2016 and to combine all sports at the new complex in 2017 for $75,000, creating easier access for participants.

The board also appointed Scott Turner, Vicki Werich and Derek Bodiford to the Parks and Recreation Board to fill the terms of Steve Brown, Regina Smith and one pre-existing vacancy.

In the police report for February submitted by Chief of Police Neal Burks, there were 37 arrests, 17 traffic accidents, 199 citations and 51 offenses. In January, there were 72 arrests, 14 accidents, 233 citations and 72 offenses.

In the Fire Department report submitted by Chief Anthony Carr, there were 21 medical calls, two structure fires and four automobile accidents in February. There were 21 medical calls, three structure fires and four automobile accidents in January.

Guys seeks citizens’ input at meeting

By Janet Rail Publisher

Last month, the Guys mayor and board of aldermen discussed a recent request from the Sheriff’s Department to lower the current speed limit from 55 miles per hour to 35 on a section of Old Highway 45.

The board amended their initial decision and determined a change required two readings before becoming law.

“I’d like to know from the ones that live down there. I’d like to have their input and see if people want the speed limit lowered,” said Alderman Anthony Dickey.

“I don’t like to see a speed trap. We will get the bad mouth and the county will get the money,” said Alderman Pete Rinehart. “I will go to the houses with Dickey to see what the residents want,” said Mayor Keith Rinehart.

The board took no action and plan to seek input from the citizens prior to taking further action.

The board discussed seeking counsel for the city after official notification to current city attorney Ryan Feeney that the city was seeking new counsel and requested any outstanding invoices. The board reviewed a letter from the firm stating all invoices were paid at present.

“Should we write up a job description or have an attorney present a proposal for services?” asked Alderman Wayne Henry. “Perhaps we can let an attorney present a proposal and negotiate services,” continued Henry.

The board will seek candidates for city counsel and report back to the board next month.

The board postponed a request from the McNairy County Developmental Center for a fi-

nancial contribution of $1,000 until they review what they did last year.

“Does everyone agree that we should continue sending flowers to local citizens’ funerals?

I am not sure if this has been a tradition, but I feel it is important,” said Mayor Rinehart. The board agreed to continue.

The board reviewed a letter from the state comptroller for electronic notification of any annexations. With no plans for annexation, the board filed the information.

A purchase of 23 tons of cold mix from Steve Riley Trucking with a cost of $1,779 for mix and $250 for delivery was approved at a total of $2,029.

There was discussion regarding a rusted out galvanized culvert on State Line Road close to the city limits that needs repair. “The city of Corinth will not help us with this,” stated Mayor Rinehart. “Water is rushing under the headwalls so unless we fix it permanently it would only be a temporary fix,” said Alderman Chris Howard.

The board agreed to wait until the ground is dry to consider alternatives to the repair.

A culvert will arrive this week for repair on the Guys-Chewalla/Farmville Road from Corinth Color Center, reported the mayor.

“We still have a problem with litter,” said mayor Rinehart. “David Sides tries to keep the trash picked up and the roads clear as best he can and we appreciate that, but people still litter,” he continued.

The fire department reported receipt of their pagers that meet current regulations. All are working well at present. The board approved the Feb. 18 minutes with an amendment regarding the first reading of the proposed speed limit and the financial report.

Unemployment rises in McNairy County

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Unemployment in McNairy County rose 1.2 percentage points, to 11 percent in January, according preliminary non-seasonally adjusted figures released by the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The department attributed this rise in all but one county in the state to normal seasonal reductions in employment. This is the second straight month that the unemployment rate has risen in the county and it is 0.7 percentage points higher than in January 2012.

The number of people in the labor force were unchanged at 10,640, there were 130 fewer people working and 130 more people officially unemployed.

Of surrounding counties Alcorn County had the lowest unemployment rate at 9.9 percent, followed by Chester County at 10 percent, Hardin County at 10.5 percent and Hardeman County at 11.4 percent.

Unemployment figures for Alcorn County are from the Mississippi Department of Employment Security.

Tennessee’s December unemployment rate rose 0.1 percentage point to 7.7 percent from as did the national rate at 7.9 percent The number of people in the nation’s labor force fell 130,000, the ranks of the employed people increased by 170,000 and the number of people unemployed fell by 300,000.

Williamson County (near Nashville) had the lowest rate in the state at 5.2 percent and Scott County had the state’s highest unemployment rate at 18.1 percent. Scott County is in East Tennessee along the Kentucky state line.

Of metropolitan areas, Knox County had the lowest rate at 6.5 percent, followed by Davidson (Nashville) at 6.6 percent, Hamilton (Chattanooga) at 8.2 percent and Shelby (Memphis) at 9.7 percent.

Unemployment in Davidson County increased by 0.5 percentage points, by 0.6 percentage points in Knox County, in Hamilton by 0.8 percentage points, in Shelby County by 0.8 percentage points and by a full percentage point in Knox County, from the previous month.

The average length of unemployment in the nation was 36.9 weeks, up from 35.3 weeks the previous month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Counting discouraged workers and those working part-time who want full-time work, the seasonally-adjusted national unemployment rate was 14.3 percent, down 0.1 percentage points from the previous month.

Loaves and Fishes: ‘Serving Christ through serving others’

By Jeff Whitten

each month at 445 Farber Drive, at the corner of Farber and Walnut, across from the Tri-County Nursing Home and Adamsville Community Center. The mobile food pantry was established in 2009, and has served nearly 14,000 families with nearly 900,000 pounds of food. They usually have 50 to 60 volunteers at each monthly food distribution for a total of nearly 2,400 since the mobile pantry began.

“I’m proud of what we’re able to do,” Browning said.

The next date for food distribution is March 28, followed by April 25, May 23, June 27, July 25, Aug. 22, Sept. 26, Oct. 24, Nov. 14 and Dec. 12 this year.

In order to qualify, income must be below $2,700 for a family of four, $1,350 for a family of one, and $1,821 for a family of two.

Families must bring a pay stub or a Food Stamp Card, a picture ID or Social Security Card and a utility bill to verify they live in McNairy County.

Each family will be given one box of food, first come, first serve until all food is given away. Loaves distributes around $75 to $100 of groceries per family. The box of food provided each family lasts a family of four about a week.

Loaves and Fishes also helps other local organizations with surplus food. For instance, they give extra eggs to the Teen Challenge drug rehabilitation program in Savannah, Tenn.

“They tell me they use three dozen eggs every morning,” Browning said.

Around 18 young people go through the year-long program each year. Loaves also provides the program with soft drinks and bakery items. It also helps the Carl Perkins McNairy County Center.

“They have emergency food for their cli-

ents,” Browning noted.

Surplus food is also donated to the Selmer and Adamsville Senior Citizen Centers.

Loaves also helps the backpack program in the schools.

“We try to help as many organizations as we can with food because we’re all serving the same purpose: We’re trying to get food to the needy,” Browning said.

They have an unusual method of fundraising. They set up a bank account to which anyone who wishes may contribute.

When asked about fundraising Browning said, “We don’t.”

Browning said when demand for food increased three or four years ago, they thought they were going to have problems having enough money.

“The Lord has provided,” Browning said.

Browning estimated that the group’s annual budget is around $10,000.

Browning said it never got to the point where they didn’t have enough money to buy what they wanted.

“I’d like to say thanks to all the churches and different people that contributed to Loaves and Fishes. By this being an open account, we don’t know who is contributing. We cannot send each one a letter thanking them, which we’d love to do, but the Lord just sees that money is put there and we try to use it wisely,” Browning said.

Loaves and Fishes doesn’t usually have fundraisers but they did have one at Lawton, where they raised about $900 for shelves.

Loaves and Fishes has been so successful it is experiencing growing pains and seeking a larger building.

“We’re going to have to have a larger building because (with) the capacity that we have here, we just can’t keep enough

The above words emblazoned on the Tshirts of Loaves and Fishes volunteers are not just a slogan. These are words they live by. They bring these words to life by providing food to needy McNairy Countians.

“Our motto on our shirts is ‘Serving Christ by Serving Others.’ I thinks that speaks for all the volunteers. That’s what they want to do. They’re all a big part of this, and we couldn’t operate without each one doing their part. It’s just never a problem to get a volunteer for anything,” said Larry Browning, President of McNairy County Loaves and Fishes.

Loaves and Fishes is operated totally by volunteers and supplied by churches, businesses, community groups, grants and interested individuals. They are associated with the Mid-South Food Bank and receive food donations from the Selmer Walmart store. Food is distributed continuously at Loaves and Fishes, which is located at E. Court Avenue and Purdy Road in Selmer and supplied by the Mid-South Food Bank.

“They’re very dedicated people. I’ve never seen people more dedicated than they are. They’re willing to do whatever it takes to get this food out. They’re just good Christian people that want to do the Lord’s work,” Browning said.

Loaves has been in existence for 29 years and served over 1,000 families in 2012. In 1998, Loaves served 143 families. Now they serve almost 100 families a month, Browning said.

“You can see how the demand has really increased over time,” Browning said.

food on hand. It’s making us order more often,” Browning said. “If we had more space, we would be able to get more produce and perishables,” Browning said.

“We’re trying to find one,” Browning said about a bigger building.

He said that more parking space would be desirable.

Loaves and Fishes started in the parking lot of the First Baptist Church in Selmer, but the building burned.

“We lost a lot of our records,” Browning said.

They then moved to a single rented storage unit near the E. Court Avenue and Purdy Road in Selmer. Needing more space, they then moved to a nearby double unit.

“We need a building where we can meet the people, talk to them and see what their problems are...There’s a lot of people hurting right now that really need help and need somebody to talk to. That’s just as important as the food. We just enjoy what we are doing. We have people that get started volunteering—It seems like if you get a person involved in this, they are in it from then on. They see it as being something that is needed and a way that they can help and they just stay with (it),” Browning said.

Loaves and Fishes is a nonprofit organization organized exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions are tax deductible.

Forestry key to agricultural landscape Finger prepares for Roadscapes Grant

Staff Writer

Many individuals might not be aware that agriculture and forestry complement and help sustain each other. Most often, when one thinks of ‘agriculture’, the mind pictures farming crops, food plots and raising livestock.

On the flip side, when forestry is mentioned, trees, loggers and mills are quickly thought of. There is a remarkably close relationship between these two. Our Department of Agriculture, through its Division of Forestry, supports a great many efforts towards forestry, including assistance to Tennessee’s private forest landowners (over 80% of Tennessee’s forests are owned by private individuals), educational programs for students and teachers, the Master Logger Program, and area road maintenance, Tree Farm Stewardship and a multitude of Cost Share programs with much of its funding is distributed through the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service.

They also allocate funds and time towards research and development to promote and better the sustainability of our forests. Likewise, Tree Farm Stewards and forest landowners work diligently to take great care regarding the control and management of their lands, forests, streams and roads. Many choose to complete the Master Logger Program and exercise conscientious oversight using Best Management Practices. Proper management includes thoughtful and correct implementation of wildlife food plots and considers the effect that forest practices have on wildlife habitat. This, together with attention to roads and stream-side care and maintenance, comprises the basis of resource and program offered by County Forestry Associations to Private Landowners throughout the state.

McNairy County landowners will meet at Eastview Civic Center this Thursday at 6:30 PM for the 16th Annual Spring dinner meeting of the County Forestry Association. Annual meetings are held Spring and Fall. Area tree growers are coming together for an introductory and informative meeting presenting our State Commissioner of Agriculture, Julius T. Johnson and recent appointees, Deputy Commissioner Jai Templeton and State Forester Jere Jeter. Ongoing guidance is received from Tennessee Forestry Association Executive Director, Candace Dinwiddie, also on the evening’s guest list.

Through the continued support of The Tennessee Forestry Association, the University of Tennessee, and the State Department of Agriculture, Division of Forestry, McNairy County remains the largest county association in the state of Tennessee. For ongoing and outstanding programs, resources and membership, it has received the prestigious #1 County Association Award from the Tennessee Forestry Association many times.

For additional information or to find out how you can become part of the ‘Voice of Forestry’ with the McNairy County Forest Landowners Association, please call Judi Mashburn (731) 645-9384.

Finger Mayor Robert Heathcock and the Board of Aldermen began their monthly meeting last Monday night with discussion about a fundraiser that will raise money in order to compensate TSSAA umpires from Jackson, Tenn., for the softball league. The season will be spread over the course of eight weeks, with two games per week. A total of $800 is needed to hire the umpires.

“We’ll do a chicken cook-off,” said Heathcock. “We’ll charge $4 for a half chicken and $7 for a whole chicken. The city will buy the chickens. They will sell them, and then we will reimburse the city. The rest will go toward the ballpark fund to pay for the umpires.

Anything over that $800 will go into the field.”

The cook-off will take place at 5 p.m. this Friday at the gym. Citizens are encouraged to attend to support the league. Another fundraiser will take place before the opening week in April.

In other news, the mayor estimated that the sign plans would be carried out within the next month. The money for the project must be paid upfront, with reimbursement following in the form of a Roadscapes Grant. To avoid depleting the entire fund of $14,000 the city will borrow $7,000 from the bank, pay for the sign and expect to be paid back. A resolution was voted upon and passed to apply for a loan. The budget was amended to $14,500 to allow for the sign to be purchased.

Heathcock also reported that attendance at the community dance was steady, with an average number of 100 people. He also explained that the subcontractor in charge of cleaning the gym was laid off. Someone from the local area could be paid $35 on nights after a dance when an event is scheduled for the next day and $25 for any other time during the week. Heathcock jokingly expressed his indifference about who cleaned the gym, “Just as long as it ain’t Robert having to do it!”

Members present at the meeting included Robert Heathcock, Theresa Robinson, Rodney Weaver, Jayne Brady and David Griffith.

Toyota is looking for people who are team players, problem solvers and adaptable to change for all three types of jobs.

In addition, production workers need to have a high-energy level, maintenance employees with hands on experience in electrical/mechanical work, and professional workers need to have a degree or experience in their chosen field.

If you want to work for Toyota, you will first have to go through their hiring process.

Burgess outlined Toyota’s hiring process when he spoke.

There is much more to it than just stopping by the plant and filling out an application. First, you must fill out an online application, which can also be done over the telephone.

Then, there are two days of testing. After that, if you make the cut, you will get a panel interview. If you impress there, only then will you get a job offer.

The first day’s testing covers reading compre-

for free from both the Apple iTunes (http:// imap.tv/2k) and Google Play (http://goo. gl/qwQyU) stores just by simply searching for “ALERT FM”. Upon the initial launch, you will need to input your zip code so that you can receive local McNairy County alerts.

“The ALERT FM App will allow McNairy County residents to receive local emergency information via ALERT FM plus award-winning weather via iMap’s Weather Radio,” said Jim Lowery, General Manager of Global Security Systems, LLC. “It will allow residents to receive the necessary information needed to protect themselves and their families.”

hension, including the ability to follow directions, problem solving and basic math skills. If you make the first day’s cut, you will advance to hands-on, practical testing on the second day. You will do work and work simulation for about six hours a day.

These test ability to follow directions, to work at a steady pace and physical endurance.

“All of those things help us understand what your aptitude is to be successful in our environment,” Burgess said.

For every 100 people tested, about two to four will pass, Burgess said.

“We’re fortunate since

of behavioral questions.

The format is that the applicant has to specifically describe a situation, how they dealt with it and the end result. The interview usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes.

“It helps us to measure a person’s attitude, their heart. Do they work well with other people? Are they creative?” Burgess said.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING A public meeting will be held on April 9, 2013 at 10:00 am at the Eastview Civic Center, Eastview, TN. This meeting is for the purpose of soliciting citizen’s comments concerning local preferences for the submission of an application for a FY 2013 Recreational Trail Grant (RTP) project. This public meeting will discuss the program guidelines, the amounts of available funds, the types of eligible projects, and the community’s recreational needs. The City’s governing body is seeking comments from the public in order to determine priorities for the use of funds to be requested. All area citizens are encouraged to attend. The Eastview Civic Center is accessible to persons with disabilities. Persons with special needs who wish to attend should contact the office of the Mayor to make any necessary arrangements which may be needed prior to the time and date of the meeting indicated above.

we get a lot of applicants, it enables us to be a little more picky than some folks can be, to make sure we are picking the right people for these positions,” Burgess explained.

It affect the productive capacity of the farmland. It will impair or endanger the land.

A producer qualifying for ECP assistance may receive cost-share levels not to exceed 75% of the eligible cost of restoration measures.

To be eligible for ECP assistance, the applicant must have sustained a minimum of $1,000 of eligible damage.

The following types of measures may be eligible, removing debris from farmland, restoring permanent fences on pastureland for eligible livestock.

Signup starts March 18 and run through April 19.

Producers who have suffered a loss on the disaster event of January 30, 2013 may contact the McNairy/Chester Farm Service Agency at (731) 645-5466 or come by 512 Mulberry Avenue, Selmer, Tenn.

38375.

For professional applicants, Toyota tries to hire internally. This process is similar to that for other types of jobs. First comes the application, then a phone screen, then a face to face interview, and if all goes well, a job offer.

If you can get hired at Toyota, there is no telling how high you can rise in the organization.

Job mobility at Toyota is high, according to Bur-

gess.

“I can give you endless examples of people hired as production team members and today they are general managers, vicepresidents, and in some cases, presidents.

If, after hearing Toyota’s expectations, you still think you have what it takes to work at Toyota, I only have one thing left to say: Good luck!

Mcnairy voices Should Congress take a pay cut?

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

I, and others, have been saying for a while that we need to make things more and shuffle paper less in our economy, and there is some evidence that is beginning to happen.

We lost 8 million manufacturing jobs from the peak in 1979 until 2010, when they were at their lowest level.

Since then, we have gained nearly 500,000 manufacturing jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The manufacturing rebound is weak, however, it is significant when compared to the previous decline and the weak recovery of the general job market.

From 1979 to 2010, we lost an average of 23,000 manufacturing jobs a month, but we have only gained back an average of 14,000 of these jobs a month since 2010. At this rate, it would take 45 years just to get back to where we were before the decline began.

Manufacturing job growth has been slower than job growth as a whole. There was a 4.2 percent increase in manufacturing jobs compared to a 5.7 increase in private sector jobs from 2010 to the present.

Though the number of manufacturing jobs has gone up, the percentage manufacturing jobs of all jobs has continued to decrease. Manufacturing jobs were 26.4 percent of all jobs in 1979, fell to 10.7 percent in 2010 and again fell slightly to 10.5 percent in 2013.

The average manufacturing worker is getting more hours and higher pay than other workers, though. The average work week for a manufacturing worker is 40.6 hours, compared to 34.4 for all private sector workers.

The average manufacturing worker makes about $24 per hour compared to $23.78 for all private sector workers.

Over the past three years, pay for workers in manufacturing has not increased as fast as for the all private sector workers, and the pay of neither has increased as fast as inflation. Wages for all private sector workers have gone up 5.8 percent but only 3.6 percent for workers in the manufacturing sector.

The cost of living has gone up 6.2 percent.

Manufacturing productivity has gone up 6.5 percent, suggesting that these workers could have been given larger raises without causing inflation. The productivity of all non-farm businesses has gone up only 2 percent over this three-year period.

Pay can go up as fast as productivity without causing inflation, because then the number of dollars and goods both increase proportionally. One definition of inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods.

Brian Dempsey (Selmer):

“Well, of course they should. Everybody else is.”

“I don’t think it would hurt them...We need to do something up there. The main thing they need to do is agree on something.”

“I think they should take a pay cut because they make enough and there’s a lot of people that don’t have that much money.”

“I reckon they ought to because they make too much to start with.”

“I think they should because they’re spending billions of dollars on stuff they don’t need to be spending billions of dollars on. That could be shared with the rest of the United States instead of just the government itself.”

Sandy Lowrance (Bethel Springs): “Yes, Congress should take a pay cut because they get paid high and we have to live on a budget and they can’t make (pass) a budget... and yet they act like they’re divorced, arguing all the time.”

We will do it again next year.

Russell Ingle, director of chamber programs McNairy Regional Alliance

Dear Editor, Not long ago, a terrible wind hit Bethel Springs and caused an almost unbelievable amount of damage. Huge trees were blown down. Houses and trailers were wrecked.

The good thing was, people flooded in to help. Crews came from all over Tennessee. Many are still there. Two from our house went and worked for a week. My dad gummed back is still so sore I can’t hardly stand it.

But here’s what I really can’t stand. Among the volunteers, there is a great spirit of Christian love and prayers that Bethel Springians will be restored.

What about Bethel Springians themselves? Before the storm we were embarrassed and ashamed at the news coming out of there about petty bickering and hatefulness. You would think that now there would be a feeling of thankfulness and gratitude. But if anything, it seems to have gotten worse.

If I had to choose between moving to Bethel Springs or Hell I guess I’d have a hard time seeing the distinction.

McNairy County Health Care

Hee Haw time

Some of the patients at McNairy County Health Care Center enjoy visiting during break time at the 2013 Hee Haw show.

By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor

We have patients who look forward to the Hee Haw show in McNairy County every year and this was the case last week when they were able to go watch the show. Along with Pat Simmons, Pollyanna and I, we had Billy Joe Carroll, Ann Anderson, Cindy Kerr and Bobbie Holmes to enjoy and laugh at all the jokes provided by the Hee Haw cast. We always leave early and get there in time to eat dinner, and that is a treat in itself for our patients. The thing I always enjoy is how the Hee Haw cast goes out of their way to make the patients feel special. They have a front row seat and enjoy the show along with everyone else. This year was especially fun for Ms. Bobbie Holmes.

Ms. Bobbie got to see a lot of people whom she knows before coming to live in our home. Joe Dan Maness and Ms. Bobbie

had a long talk about the right political platform.

She, I learned, is a strong Democrat and does not understand why the rest of the world does not feel like she does. Joe Dan, on the other hand, is a Republican, even though Ms. Bobbie said she had tried to teach him the right way to go. She really enjoyed the night visiting with so many people she knew from her past. I told her she was my date for the night and I had a hard time keeping up with her. She would see a friend or a neighbor and off she would go to visit with them. I truly enjoyed watching her enjoy herself that night.

One of the funniest stories to me was a story told by James McNeil. He talked about a man who had an event to happen in his life and all through the story it went from being good to bad and then back to good. Isn’t that how our real life is really like?

Sometimes the things that happen to us that we just

know is the worst possible thing that could happen turns out to not be so bad. On the other hand, all those things that you thought were the greatest thing you could have or accomplish turned out to not be so great.

Ms. Bobbie you were the best date I have had in a long time, and I really appreciate your family letting you go with us. Ms. Bobbie’s husband visits her on a daily basis, and is very supportive of her. I also learned that night she has two daughters and one son who are her world. As I have heard many times when life gives you lemons make lemonade. I think that is what Ms. Bobbie did that night.

To the cast of Hee Haw, thank you for making our folks feel special, because they are. If you are in need of political consulting come and visit Ms. Bobbie. And remember when something bad happens in your life just wait it may turn out to not be so

bad. One example I could give you is I had a very bad day and was having my own personal pity party. I decided I was too tired to cook so went to get dinner and while I was waiting I ran into some old friends.

While waiting for my order I was in line with Dr. Rhea and his wife Sims, and on this night they were just what I needed. They told me that they enjoy our stories in the paper and look forward to them every week. A little encouragement sure means a lot to me on this night so thank you my friends for all of your kind words.

Appreciate all of the good things in your life and when it’s not so good just wait and see what God does with that problem in your life. It may, like mine, turn out to be just what you needed at that given time. I want to end this week with a verse from a song I heard this week, “Isn’t God good, no He is great.”

Until next time...

Cardinals start season in Tomahawk Classic

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Cardinals had a tough start to the season competing against some stiff competition in the Tomahawk Classic in Jackson, Tenn. The redbirds took on Liberty, Ripley, South Gleason and Dyersburg only to come away with one win.

Liberty 4 Adamsville 3

The Cardinals lost a close one in the final inning of the first match-up in the Tomahawk against the Liberty Crusaders.

With John Reed Odom on the hill for the Cardinals, it was a tight game in the beginning. Odom held the Liberty offense to one run on no hits in three innings pitched but could not get the run support he needed for a lead.

After scoring one in the third the Cards’ bats fell quiet again and after allowing one run in both the fourth and fifth innings, they found themselves down 3-1 late.

Adamsville battled back and scored two runs in the top of the sixth to tie the game and force the Crusaders to make a play.

Unfortunately, they did. Liberty was able to score the winning run against Hunter Dickey, who picked up the loss, and leave with their first win of the tournament.

Alex McSwain got the call to start for the redbirds but had a hard time finding his rhythm. McSwain was unable to record an out but gave up three earned runs.

After being blanked in the next three innings, Adamsville found themselves in a deep hole going into the fifth. However, the Cards still had some fight left in them. Getting a rally going late in the inning, the Cardinals were able to push across five runs and cut into the lead but were stopped short by time limit and came away with their second loss of the year.

The Cardinals battled back after a tough loss and got a much needed win against South Gibson.

Jacob Wallis came in and completed six full innings on the mound for the redbirds, only giving up two runs on five hits, which was good enough for the win.

It was a tight contest. Adamsville matched the run put up by South Gibson in the first two innings and managed to take the lead in the fifth. That’s all Wallis needed as he shut the door and picked up his team’s first win of the season.

Bobcats open season with a win

By Stephanie Parsons Sports Writer

Last Tuesday McNairy Central kicked off their 2013 season by traveling to in-county rival Adamsville. The Bobcats picked up there first win of the season against the Cardinals but could not bring home the same result from Chester County.

McNairy Central Adamsville

5 2

The McNairy Central boys soccer team dominated the first half of the game, scoring four goals and allowing their opponents zero.

MCHS goalkeeper Tyler Henry was a huge asset to his team, with a total of five saves out of the seven shots made by AHS. Cardinals goalkeeper Nathan Skinner did a great job himself with exactly five saves for his team as well.

Unfortunately for the Redbirds, as the first half came to a close, the score was 4-0, Bobcats leading, but the Cardinals were determined not to give up.

During the second half, Adamsville was able to make two goals, one by Tyler Hollin and one by Quinton Brasher, allowing Adamsville to cut the lead down to two.

“It was fun to kick off the season against our county rivals,” said Cardinals head coach Steve Price. “We are so young at so many positions. We will be learning the high school game as we go.”

Bobcat senior Tate Stone was the leading scorer for last Tuesday’s game with two goals, followed by fellow teammates Jake Williams, Joey Sanders and Juan Miranda with one goal

each.

“We were glad to open the season with a win, but it came at a high price,” said Bobcats head coach Nick Cook. “Our veteran and captain, DZ Robinson, suffered a season ending injury when he collided with another player.

Our play was a little messy, but we will lock in as the season goes on.”

The battle ended between the Cardinals and Bobcats with a final score of 5-2, Bobcats.

(MCHS) Tate Stone: 2 Pts; Joey Sanders: 1 Pts; Jake Williams: 1 Pts; Juan Miranda: 1 Pts, 2 Ast (AHS) Tyler Hollin: 1 Pts; Quinton Brasher: 1 Pts

Chester County McNairy Central

1 0

The Bobcats hoped to continue their good play against the Eagles but could not come away with the win Playing without captain DZ Robinson, the Cats had a hard time getting any offense going.

During the first half, both defenses played well and the Bobcats had a hard time scoring. McNairy went into the break tied with the Eagles, 0-0.

The Bobcats’ defense was not the reason for their failure to attain goals, but rather the fact that they didn’t play up the mark.

The Cats played the middle where the Eagle defenders were strong and stopped MCHS from making a goal every time.

Goalkeeper Tyler Henry said, “When we were on offense we kept trying to play the middle, and we should have went on the outside.”

The Bobcats lost to Chester County, leaving the final score 1-0, Eagles.

Cats claw Cardinals at AHS

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Lady Cardinals and the Lady Cats have met a few times this season in tournaments, but this is the first meeting on one of the teams’ home fields.

McNairy Central Adamsville

4 2

It was the Lady Cats that jumped off to an early lead, scoring a run in the first inning. However, McNairy had bases loaded and no outs and only scored the one run and let a big opportunity go by.

The Lady Cards held tight in that first inning. Starting pitcher Parker Davis settled down and recorded two strikeouts to retire the side. The Cardinal offense would add two runs of their own in the fourth and fifth innings to take a late lead.

The Bobcats’ bats would not be stopped. They battled back to tie the game in the sixth inning and then surged ahead in the eighth to hang on and take a win from the Lady Cardinals on their own field.

“So far I’m very pleased with the character my team has shown,” said Bobcats head coach Mellanie Surratt. “We get up and battle offensively, no matter what the score is. Right now we are playing very consistent and we are just playing every pitch.”

The Lady Cards did take a win from the the Lady Cats in the Hardin County tournament and will be looking for revenge later on in the season.

“Losing a senior pitcher, I think, hurts the girls mentally,” said Cardinals head coach Todd McGee. “The girls are looking for that leadership and presence on the rubber, but this is a tough team and we will find a way to win.”

Both the Lady Cats and the Lady Cardinals will soon be getting into their district schedule, and the true challenge begins.

Cats win in season opener at home

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

Due to a rain out, McNairy Central opened the 2013 season at home, hosting the Scotts Hill Lions. After collecting a win at home, the Bobcats fell to the Lions in Scotts Hill, Tenn.

The Bobcats got a solid start on the mound in the 2013 season opener from Chase Smith, who recorded seven strikeouts in six innings, only giving up one earned run.

Smith got some help from Marcus Nash and the Bobcats’ offense in the third, when they scored two runs in the third and took the lead in the game for good. Nash, who had the team’s only extra base hits, had a perfect night at the plate driving in two runs with a single and two doubles. Smith was also there with the bat helping his own cause, tallying the other two RBIs going 1-3 at the dish.

The defense and solid pitching held on, only giving up one more run to the Lions. While the Bobcat offense was able to make one more rally to post a two more runs in the sixth locking in the victory.

The Bobcats could not carry the momentum with them to Scotts Hill.

McNairy had trouble getting the bats going early, but their defense and pitching kept them in the game.

Trailing 4-0 going into the sixth inning, the Bobcats were able to get a run across when Tyler Wells scored on a Matt Chandler base hit. Unfortunately, that run was the only one the Cats could get before the Lions put up six runs in the bottom of the sixth and put the game away.

Although the Bobcats did not quit, they were not able to muster the offense and left Scotts Hill with the first loss of the season.

Last Friday, Scotts Hill was host to the Adamsville Cardinals boys soccer team.

The Cards were defeated by Scotts Hill, 5-0.

During the first half of the game, AHS was down by one, leaving the score 1-0.

After the Cardinals came back from the first half, they were still unable to score.

Tyler Henry was able to make five saves for his team, not allowing their opponent to score.

The final score of the game ended with a devastating loss for AHS, 5-0.

“We played well early. We’re so young and still trying to gain endurance as we age,” said head coach Steve Price.

Dyersburg 8 Adamsville 6

Adamsville jumped out to a quick lead thanks to a first inning three-run shot from Josh Chappell but failed to hold on in the end.

Although the Cardinals got a good start on offense, starting pitcher Austin Cotner got a little roughed up on the mound. Cotner made good pitches; however, Dyersburg’s hitters were just having a good day and the ball just seemed to find a hole everytime. The redbirds had to watch their early four run lead disap-

Bobcats battle in Mississippi Tournament CCHS: 0 4 1 0 0 – 05 08 0

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Bobcats traveled down to Mooreville, Miss., to participate in a tournament that proved a tough test early in the season. McNairy faced Mooreville (MS), Belmont (MS), Mantachie (MS), Pontotoc (MS), Calhoun City (MS), and Potts Camp (MS), taking two out of three.

Jonathan Nixon got the start on the mound for the Bobcats, rolling off the momentum from their first tournament win against Calhoun City (MS).

Nixon recorded seven strikeouts in six innings of work for the Cats, picking up a win.

The Bobcats offense, led by Tyler Wells and Blake McCalvin, took the lead with a two run second inning and exploded in the sixth, scoring six runs and securing the victory for McNairy in their last game of the tournament.

The offense turned it up on the last day of the tournament, determined to come away from Mississippi with a win. McNairy, led by a four hit game from Marcus Nash, scored two runs in the first and never looked back.

Chase Smith, who got the win in the contest, recorded eight strikeouts in five solid innings on the mound. Although Smith gave up four runs in the second, he had the run support to bring home their first tournament win.

Nash and the Bobcat offense took off after losing the lead in the second inning. They managed to bring three runs across in the third, two in the fourth, and exploded for five runs in the fifth, capping off their decisive victory.

Matt Chandler and Marcus Nash was the total of the Bobcats offense against Pontotoc, recording all three of the teams’ hits. The Cats could not get anything going with the bats until the fifth inning when Jacob Mullins reached on a walk and was driven in by Chandler.

Although Chandler, who got the start on the mound, pitched well and held Pontotoc scoreless until the fourth inning, the three runs he gave up in the fourth were enough to beat the Cats.

It took extra innings to decide the winner between the Bobcats and Mantachie in the thrilling opener on day two of the tournament.

Blake McCalvin toed the rubber, getting the start for the Bobcats, and threw several solid innings.

The Cats lost the lead in the bottom of the fourth but battled back in the fifth and sixth to bring the game to a tie.

After a scoreless seventh and eighth for the Bobcats, they could not hold off the Mantachie attack and lost late, 8-6.

The Bobcats managed only one hit in the loss against Belmont in their second game of the tournament. McNairy was trying to recover from the big loss earlier but just could not find the bats.

Marcus Nash, Tyler Wells and Parker Adams all threw well for the Bobcats, holding Belmont to only one run on two hits. Wells was hit with the loss, giving up the only run in the bottom of the fourth inning.

McNairy’s pitching bounced back from the early loss, but the bats will need to get better as the season goes along.

Mooreville McNairy Central

The Bobcats started the tournament matched up against the host team Mooreville.

McNairy was able to take an early lead, scoring two runs in the fourth inning, but quickly found themselves in a large hole when Mooreville posted seven runs in the second and third innings.

The big lead was too much for the Bobcats to chip away at, and the Bobcats would have to start the tournament with a tough loss.

FHU awards degrees Henderson, Tenn. — Several residents of McNairy County were among the group of approximately 100 students to receive degrees Dec. 14 at Freed-Hardeman University's winter commencement exercises. United Nations Ambassador Waheed Waheedullah greeted attendees and expressed appreciation to the university. Having served in various capacities, he is best known for his work within the U.N. and the international community and for his contributions to peacekeeping, peace-building, peacemaking, conflict prevention, conflict management and conflict resolution.

He is the architect and designer of the Bonn Agreement for a Comprehensive Political Settlement of the Afghan Conflict. Degrees were conferred by FHU President Joe Wiley. The university is accredited by the Commission of Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The following students received degrees:

Hunter Burns and Kyle Burns share their presentation on Autism Awareness and Developmental Delays originally done for Molly Stanfield’s Family and Consumer Science (Home Economics) class at McNairy Central High School at last Thursday’s meeting of the McNairy County Board of Education. The board also approved purchasing computers for Selmer Elementary School through Title1 as well as policies of emergency preparedness, in-service and professional learning opportunities and compulsory attendance ages, on second reading. These policies will now become law. The board also approved guidelines for service animals, adopted reading textbooks for kindergarten through the eighth grade, the 2013-2014 school calendar and participation in the state vision benefits plan. Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly told the board that revenues were in good shape with property taxes on target, but sales taxes were a concern. Miskelly also said that over $200,000 capital outlay money under the Basic Education Program that had been cut in previous years will be restored this year. There is also one time funding for local technology, and infrastructure will be available from the state, possibly as much as $300,000, Miskelly said. In other news from the schools, Miskelly told the Independent Appeal last Friday that Wayne Henry will be the next principal of Michie Elementary School.

Here’s the Skinney

By Aaron Friend

It could be said that a word or phrase defines a generation. Often times, people associate specific words and phrases with a particular time period or decade. For example, many people today use the term “beast” to describe something they believe to be incredible. Years from now, people will recall using that word, and will think back to their younger days. I believe that words from the past, such as “groovy,” should be used in the current vernacular. I will now break down each word or phrase from the 1950s-1990s that I believe should be used today.

Cat- This word was used during the 1950s to designate a guy. For example, if someone said, “Hey you cats!” they were referring to a group of people. The reason

I love this word so much is because my grandma and grandpa still use this term today, and I believe it should be used more often.

Groovy- The word groovy was used mainly throughout the 1960s and some of the 1970s; however, it is seldom used today. This is a travesty because the word always makes me think of a time for funky fun, and roller skates.

Although gravity restricts my ability to roller-skate, I still enjoy the idea of letting loose, and having a groovy time. (See what I did there?)

Skinney- This is a term from the 1970s that means “the truth.” If somebody said, “Give me the skinney!” that means they want you to tell them the truth. I chose this word because of the health craze that is occurring today.

This way, when you ask someone for “the skinney,” you can also remind them to hit the gym.

Cowabunga- This word from the ‘80s is my favorite word on the list, mainly due to my love for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. For me, it is a way of accepting a challenging. For example, right before I attempt any math test, the first word I think is “Cowabunga!”

My love for the word “cowabunga” is greater than the Ninja Turtles’ love for pizza. It is out of pure affection that I believe this word should be used more often.

Da Bomb- This 1990s phrase used to describe something that is really neat is a personal favorite of my family.

We often say “That was da bomb!” to describe things

(That last one was a joke.)

This phrase makes the list due to my personal usage of the word.

Musical Montage

Due to the response for the McNairy Bobcat Band Musical Montage Dinner, we will be switching venues and format to accommodate every who wants to attend.

Performances will be by several small woodwind and brass ensembles, several percussion ensemble groups, and the McNairy Central Jazz Band Sunday, April 7th from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm at the Latta Building. Admission will be $10 - this will include the serving of hors d’oeuvres.

You may purchase tickets in advance from students and parents or purchase tickets at the door on the day of the event. Thank you for such a wonderful display of support.

Earlier in the year, we did a story on senior students in the welding class at MCHS; however, not all of the students were able to respond. Thus, it is time to do a little re-welding, if you please.

Marcus Hensley said he enjoys the class because of all the projects they do. He continued that the class involves learning to weld, as well as learning to work well with others. Hensley added that he actually does welding away from school. “I weld on fourwheelers, trucks, and things like that,” he said. Hensley finished by saying he plans to do welding as a career after high school. That, or work on a river boat—he has not decided yet.
