Bethel Springs may get government aid for the storm damage suffered Jan. 31, after all. Though the damage didn’t fit the requirements in order for the federal government to declare it a disaster area, it is under consideration for a new state program designed for these very circumstances.

Bethel is under consideration for funding from the Rebuild and Recover Program from the Tennessee Housing Development Agency, according to THDA Executive Director Ralph M. Perrey.

Perry, McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks, THDA Director of Community Programs Coralee Holloway, THDA Communications Coordinator Josh Gibson and Bethel Springs Disaster Recovery Coordinator Norma Smith toured the damage last Thursday.

“What we wanted to do is to be able to help, primarily in smaller communities where you’ve had a natural disaster, maybe it’s a tornado or a windstorm like here in Bethel Springs, maybe it’s a flash flood like in Dry Creek in Washington County. Those are things that are never going to rise to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), may not even get on TEMA’s (Tennessee Emergency Management Agency) radar screen, but you’ve still got dozens of people who’ve had some serious damage, communities that may not have a lot of resources to Staff Photo by Jeff Whitten call on and need some help.

Latest Habitat family moves into new home

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

McNairy County Habitat for Humanity dedicated its newest house to a family of four last Thursday at 107 Lynn St. in Adamsville.

Betty Garrison, president of the McNairy County Habitat for Humanity, said that during her time serving as the local Habitat president, the organization has placed three families in homes. She said that every time a new family moves into their home, it is overwhelming.

“It is all because of God and his work that we are here,” Garrison said. “We are based on Jesus Christ and this is all about sharing his love by giving someone a home (with an interest-free loan) who otherwise would not have one.”

Garrison said that Habitat is currently seeking a family for their next home. She said that hopefully she would know who that family is and where they are planning to build very soon.

“This is such a great organization, and these are such great people that we work with,” Garrison said.

The Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity for Tennessee, Colleen Dudley, was on hand for last Thursday’s dedication and said, “Habitat...builds homes for people in need, and it does so in a partnership with the fam-

ily. Each family has to qualify based on income. They have to make a house payment, because we use those payments to build even more homes in the community. They attend homeowner education classes. They also have to put in sweat equity, which is where they work 300-500 hours on their home.”

Dudley said that Habitat’s goal is to break the poverty cycle by placing these families in their own homes and teaching them how to be sustainable on their own. She said that each year the state’s Habitat builds more than 250 homes each year which adds more than $55 million to the state economy. She said that Tennessee has the fourth largest Habitat organization in the nation, and per capita it builds more than any other state.

Dudley also thanked the Tennessee Housing Development Agency for their financial support, saying that the agency is responsible for allowing them to do their jobs.

“We have a working relationship with (Habitat) on a number of levels,” said Ralph Perrey, executive director of THDA “What we do is provide a large grant through our community programs, and this supports the construction of homes across the state.

Stockdale’s opens in Selmer

Grand opening celebration of “America’s Rural Outfitter” planned this Saturday

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

“Stockdale’s: America’s Rural Outfitter,” which offers a wide range of products for the home, the farm, and the family, has officially opened for business in Selmer at 581 Mulberry Avenue, the former location of Mid-South Farmers Cooperative. A grand opening celebration is planned for Saturday with special product pricing, giveaways and activities for the whole family.

The Selmer location joins two other newly opened West Tennessee Stockdale’s stores in Oakland and Bolivar, as well as three other established stores: Hixson and Covington in Tennessee and Bowling Green, Ky. “We are excited about the opportunity to bring Stockdale’s to Selmer,” said Bruce Baird, Stockdale’s chief operating officer. “Our goal is to create a local business that makes a positive impact on the community for years to come, where people shop — and do business with — their neighbors.”

Stockdale’s entry into Selmer is the result of an agreement last year between the retailer and Mid-South Farmers Co-op. Under this agreement, Stockdale’s — a subsidiary of Tennessee Farmers Cooperative — has established a location in Selmer to service area livestock, horse, farm and home customers. The Co-op has built a new crops center on Highway 45 North and changed its focus to entirely crops-related

products and services.

“Our expertise is mainly in agronomy, so the agreement with Stockdale’s allows us to create a business model that will be the best of both worlds,” said Terry Kelley, Mid-South Farmers Co-op general manager. “Mid-South can focus on what we do best — crop production — while Stockdale’s can provide the other products and services that our customers have come to expect and a whole lot more.”

Stockdale’s diverse product mix includes clothing, footwear, tools, outdoor furniture, lawn and garden items, toys, gifts, accessories, home décor and much more.

For cattle, horses, pets or other livestock, all of the feed equipment and animal health items formerly available at Co-op can now be found at Stockdale’s — along with a wider selection of products and supplies for the animals. Barry Gray, who was formerly the livestock specialist for Mid-South Farmers Co-op, has been hired by Stockdale’s to serve in the same capacity for its West Tennessee stores.

“It’s been pretty well received by the community so far,” said store manager Harold Settlemires.

When asked if he was excited about the grand opening Settlemires said, “Yes, sir.”

Stockdale’s is open from Monday through Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 6 p.m. For more information, call the store at 731Staff Photo by Jeff Whitten 645-3238 or visit online at www.stockdales.com. A local shopper enjoying her recent trip to the Selmer Stockdale’s store.

were able to provide a small grant up to Washington County for Dry Creek, and they were able to leverage that up nine times over. We’re the only public money in a $3 million rebuilding project and what the Mayor told up there is:, ‘We have lots of people willing to help.”

The communities can then use the funds and volunteer labor to rebuild.

“What we needed is someone to step up with the first money to get the ball rolling and to help us figure out who else could help us and that’s what THDA did,” Perrey said. “It got us to thinking there are lots of small towns like Dry Creek, like Bethel Springs, where we can play that kind of role both because we may have a little bit of money that fits, that can help bring in other people’s money and get things rebuilt. We have some lending tools already in place that families and homeowners can draw on if they qualify and get a little assistance in rebuilding.

“What we asked our board to do is rather than make us come to them each and every time there is something, let us set aside some resources and just let us go to work when something happens. Let us see whether this is a place where we can be of some help and they went along with that...

This might be one of the first places where we see whether we have some tools that could work. Basically, we’re going to see what the need is. It’s not a huge amount of money, but we have some grant money that we can make available and the idea is that it’s a catalyst, where other people will come in and match it and you can build on it, provide a pool of funds for things that are not covered by insurance or by a town’s money or anybody else’s money,” said Perry Brooks praised the efforts of THDA and said that any funding would be put to good use.

“We’re just extremely pleased that Mr. Perrey wanted to come down here and make a tour of the communities and just see what kind of damage there was and to immediately respond to me when I contacted him and his concern and him wanting to offer as much help as he could, so we’re just thrilled that he’s here and hope that we can do some things,” Brooks said.

“This is teamwork, cooperation and coordination through a lot of different entities, even faith based organizations, to help people with their needs and that’s the key thing. It takes a lot of people to do different things,” Smith said.

get the houses and the communities in which they are located.”

Cassie Christopher, whose family was the recipient of Habitat’s newest home, said that everyone at Habitat has been so nice, wonderful and caring to her family and said that the whole organization has been a blessing.

“My mother had read about it in the newspaper, and she contacted the number printed there about the house,” Christopher said. “She called me to let me know and she said, ‘You need to contact them, you are going to win this house. I just know it. I have been praying for this and you and the kids are going to be blessed with this.’’’

Christopher said that she was contacted by Habitat for a second interview and that in the middle of the interview, they just came right out and told her that the real reason they were there was to notify her that her family had been chosen for the new home.

“I was so overwhelmed with joy and endless surprise because I was going to be able to give my children something that I had not been able to fully give them, which was their own home,” Christopher said. “I cried. I just thought it was a dream.”

Christopher said that during the building process, she was challenged to juggle her work life as a full-time Dollar General employee, her family life and the more than 400 sweat equity hours but said the process was an eye-opening experience and that she learned a lot. She said that it more than worth the effort.

The building process was made all the more difficult for Christopher when her mother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, which meant Christopher needed to spend a lot of time assisting her mother with her treatment as well.

Christopher said that now that it is finished, she was glad that she was able to put in the sweat equity hours because, “You can’t just say, oh well, they built me this house. You can say we built this house.”

Scouting prepares young men for the future

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

What do more than 300 young men in McNairy County all have in common?

With eight McNairy County troops, packs, crews and posts, the answer is scouting.

For more than 103 years, young men have turned to scouting to help them prepare for the future, and according to Alan Youngerman, Shiloh District Executive for the Boy Scouts of America, the organization is continuing in this proud tradition.

Youngerman, a Selmer native, is head of the district which covers McNairy, Chester, Hardin, and Hardeman counties.

He said that scouting gives young men a step up in life increasing their high school and college graduation rates and increasing their annual income as adults by nearly $20,000 per year.

Youngerman said that there were Boy Scout and Cub Scout troops and packs in three cities within the county, as well as an Explorer Post and a Venture Crew. Troop and Pack 234 serves youngsters in the Adamsville area, and James Chandler is their scout leader. Troop and Pack 231 serves Michie with Adam Clapp and Jodi Riggan as their Troop and Pack leaders respectively. Troop and Pack 32 cover Selmer and Robert Shackelford is their scout leader. In addition Explorer Post 55 and Venture Crew 101 reside within the county.

Youngerman said that the Explorer and Venture groups are both co-ed and focus on career planning, public service and emergency preparedness.

The Explorer Post 55 works with the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department and helps train members on skills related to law enforcement. Youngerman said that not all Explorer activities focus on law enforcement, and exploring is similar to an internship in that youngsters get a chance education working in a career field of their choice. He said that they are also trying to add a local medical explorer post as well.

Youngerman said that the scouts are the largest youth service organization in the country and that they have had a tremendous impact on the local community through their public service projects and activities.

“We do anything from helping churches out with programs like building patios and amphitheaters to helping rebuild trails at Big Hill Pond,” Youngerman said. “We had about 130 scouts come in from all over the district...working on the boardwalk. We came in there after a storm. We cut the trees out and we removed the damaged portions. More than 1,000 man hours were put in during one weekend there.”

Youngerman said that the highest rank a scout can achieve is that of an Eagle Scout. Last year, five young men from the county attained this prestigious rank. This Sunday three of these young men will have their ceremony at 2 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Selmer.

The rank of Eagle Scout may be earned by a Boy Scout who earns a minimum of 21 merit badges, demonstrates

Scout Spirit and demonstrates leadership in the troop, team, crew or ship. He must plan, develop and lead a service project that demonstrates both leadership and a commitment to duty.

After that, he must take part in a Scoutmaster conference and an Eagle Scout board of review.

Of the 21 merit badges needed to attain the rank, 12 specific badges must also be attained in First Aid, Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World, Communications, Personal Fitness, Environmental Science, Personal Management, Camping, Family Life, Emergency Preparedness or Lifesaving and Swimming or Hiking or Cycling.

“Two of the young men receiving their Eagle Scout rank this Sunday helped to create eight miles of new trails at the Shiloh Battlefield Park for their service project,” Youngerman said. “The other scout built a fire ring and helped clear an area for an amphitheater at the Methodist Church.”

Youngerman encouraged local youths who are not currently involved in scouts to give it a try.

“It is teaching the values that you want for your future leaders,” Youngerman said.

As far as the annual activities that our local scouts are involved in, Clapp, Michie’s Troop 231 scout leader, said that they go to a Spring and Fall Jamboree, and they spend a week at summer camp at Camp McMorris near Camden, Tenn.

Clapp said that the boys will participate in various activities in these annual events and they will earn merit badges in canoeing, rowing, first aid life saving and several other areas.

Clapp said that some of the scouts in his troop worked to restore the landscaping at the Michie Community Center.

“We tore out what was there and replaced it with all new plant material,” Clapp said.

Clapp said that his troop also assisted with the boardwalk repair at Big Hill Pond.

“I think the boys walked seven or eight miles that day, picking up trash and clearing trails,” Clapp said.

Area Boy Scouts will be participating in a camping trip and public service event on April 13, Clapp said. They will be building a monkey bridge for the Cub Scouts at a camp in Hardin County. They will then work with the Cub Scouts to help them all cross the bridge.

For those interested in seeing what scouting is all about, Selmer Troop 32 will be hosting a Scout Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. at the Selmer City Park this Saturday. The event is open to everyone and will feature air rifle and archery ranges with the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency, a rock climbing wall run by the Tennessee National Guard, a Scout Campsite with hot dogs served all afternoon, as well as various emergency service providers who will be on site.

Those who have questions about Scout Saturday can contact Shackleford at (731) 645-0363. Those who have general questions or are interested in joining any of the local scouting organizations can contact Youngerman at (731) 610-0065.

Tourism Mini Conference: Where will we go from here?

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

A tourism mini conference will take place this Friday at the McNairy County Visitor’s and Cultural Center located at 205 West Court Ave in Selmer from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

Objectives discussed at this meeting will be to begin a dialogue between the stakeholders in McNairy County Tourism and local and regional tourism partners. Benefits of local tourism promotion will be introduced, and it is the hope of organizers that attendees will gain a better understanding of local tourism assets.

During the meeting, panelists will discuss the concepts of hospitality and customer service for tourists, and they will ask and answer questions pertaining to tourism and local economic development.

The overall purpose of this meeting is to establish an overall plan for the future of tourism development in McNairy County.

“Next week will be a big week for tourism in our area since the (151st) anniversary of the Shiloh battle is April 6-8, so our timing may be good,” said Shawn Pitts, Tourism Board committee chair for the McNairy County Chamber of Commerce.

“The sessions will begin at 11:30 a.m. so feel free to arrive anytime before that. Lunch is provided, and we hope the whole

affair will take on the tone of a conversation between friends.

All times listed on the agenda are approximate.”

Pitts said that he hoped that the event would spawn additional community discussions and involvement in tourism related activities and events.

“We want to open the dialogue with local businesses and stakeholders about the benefits of tourism and sneak in a little hospitality training at the same time,” Pitts said. “After the formal presentations, respondents listed on the agenda will have an opportunity to speak to any issues raised by the presentations or any other pertinent topics they feel should be addressed in local tourism.”

Participants for this event will be Lori Nunnery, Director, Jackson, Tenn. Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, Mary Beth Hopper, Director, Tourism Association of Southwest Tennessee, Sonia Clark, Director, West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center, Russell Ingle, Director of Chamber Programs, McNairy Regional Alliance, Paige Holmes, Managing Director, Arts in McNairy, Shawn Pitts, MRA Tourism Committee Chair.

Topics for the event will be “Show Me the Money! Tourism and the Local Economy,” with Lori Nunnery, “Y’all Come Back Now! Homegrown Asset and Hospitality,” with Shawn Pitts, “Talk Back,” a respondent’s panel and tourism Q&A with panelists Mary Beth Hopper, Russell Ingle, Sonia Clark, Paige Holmes and others.

‘Please remember them’

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

John E. Anderson of the American Legion Department of Tennessee, District 10, Post 162 (Selmer) spoke to the McNairy County Historical Society meeting March 26 in Selmer.

He opened by saying he is often stopped when he is wearing his uniform by strangers and thanked for his service in the navy in the Korean and Vietnam wars.

“That means a lot and I’m willing to say thank you to those that didn’t because while we were doing what we were doing, you were here keeping us going. The ladies, men—you had your part and we thank you,” Anderson said.

“Those of us who have served and those who still serve in the military are always mindful of the fact that this peace that we enjoy is just a heartbeat away from being a tragedy, and each and every one of us is compelled to never forget that while we enjoy the daily pleasures of life, there are some who are enduring untold agony, pain, depravity and death,” was how Anderson introduced the topic.

Anderson said that those who become permanently separated from their units are listed either as prisoners of war or missing in action.

“That’s when we know they were captured, or we very strongly suspect they were captured by the enemy,” Anderson said about POWs. “Unfortunately, this is the largest column of names—missing in action. This is where somebody died on the battlefield or at sea, or in an airplane,” Anderson said about the second category.

Anderson noted that over 90,000 men and women are POWs, MIAs or killed in action and unaccounted for since World War I, over three times the total population of McNairy County. Of this number, over 58,000 are from the Vietnam War alone. There are 42 Tennesseans on this list, though none appear to be from McNairy County. The towns or cities on the list are either where POWs or MIAs enlisted or where they were from.

“This is the reason that I do this. I would like everyone--whether you served or not, whether you are married to a serviceman or the daughter or mother or whatever it doesn’t make any difference—to keep in mind that there are all these men and women still unaccounted for, still coming home, many of them in boxes, yes, but they’re coming home and there are a few that are still alive that need to come home,” Anderson explained.

“I ask you, I beg you, please remember them. You can rest assured they remember you,” Anderson said as he concluded his remarks.

Bill Webster noted this the search for POWs/MIAs and KIAs is ongoing.

“It’s very active. You wouldn’t believe how many people are involved and they’re searching. I saw a thing on TV not long ago where they were over in the jungles. They’re out in the oceans. It’s just phenomenal what they’re doing,” Webster said.

“The majority of this is financed by private funds,” Anderson added.

In response to a question from the audience, Anderson said the reason why so many were missing from Vietnam is the terrain and the method of warfare.

“We had never fought in a jungle before. We had never fought in that type of terrain before and leave

the mountains to go into the jungle. It was the American way just to throw masses of people at the enemy, and that was the wrong thing to do because they had more masses to throw back,” Anderson said.

Anderson said he thought there were some American troops still alive in Vietnam. He said he had a friend from Savannah, Tenn., who was a survivor of the Bataan Death March.

“To give you an idea of what it was like: they were employed when they got to Bataan, which was against the Geneva Convention, but then they (the Japanese) never signed the Geneva Convention—they weren’t a part of it. The prisoners were awakened rather roughly in the mornings way before sunlight. They were given a bowl of water with a little bit of oatmeal or something in it. That was their meal for the day until they returned back to the barracks after dark,” Anderson said.

Anderson said he would never drive a car from this company as long as he draws breath.

The Bataan Death March occurred in the Phillipines during World War II. After the Japanese overran the island nation, they forced 60,000-80,000 Phillipino and American prisoners of war to march 80 miles.

Thousands of Phillipinos and hundreds of American died during this march, which was characterized by wide-ranging physical abuse and murder and was later judged by an Allied commission as a war crime.

Brenda Watkins’ father was captured by the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge in France in World War II and imprisoned for nearly a year but liberated when the war ended. He was 6 feet 6 inches tall but weighed only 125 lbs. when he came home.

“My mother almost fainted when she saw him,” Watkins said.

“Go to Memphis down here and of the ten people sitting on the streets, sitting on the corners, seven of them will be veterans. That doesn’t say much for us,” Anderson said of the homelessness and alcoholism problems among veterans.

Watkins said her father’s feet froze, and he had a permanent back injury as a result of his experience.

She said he and his captors only had potato peels, soup and grass to eat. He would not eat anything green after that.

Lloyd Watkins described the flashbacks his father in law suffered.

“One night he started crawling on the floor, trying to wake the kids up, telling them to ‘Get down, get down, they’re coming after us,’” Watkins said.

Margaret Tull’s father Warren Tull wouldn’t eat lemons after he came home from the European theatre in World War II. Once he was trapped in a lemon grove and that was all he had to eat. He was in seven of the top eight European battles, including landing on Omaha Beach in Normandy, France during D-Day, which was his 21st birthday. Tull was also in the Battle of the Bulge and was with the Allied forces that liberated Paris.

Anderson once went hunting with a fellow veteran.

The man became separated from the rest of the group.

“The first shot that went off, he just emptied that weapon out just anywhere and started screaming,” Anderson recalled.

“These folks, you think of the most terrible thing you could do to a human being and they do more,” Anderson said about POWs’ experiences.

INDEPENDENT APPEAL v PAGE 5A

McNairy Narcotics Unit bust Michie Meth lab, arrest two

By Jeff Whitten Head New Writer

A Michie meth lab was busted and two people arrested by the McNairy Narcotics Unit last Thursday, according to an incident report provided by the McNairy County Sheriff's Department.

Arrested were Jana Renae Young, 30, and David Lee Moore, Jr., 31, both at Moore's residence at 458 Melvin Qualls Rd. in Michie.

Lt. David “Brad” Johnson and Inv. James Frazier went to the residence to inquire about a purchase of pseudoephedrine at the Selmer Drug Store March 26 by Moore.

Moore was on searchable probation, which means he consented to search as a condition of his probation.

Frazier found what he believed to be a one-pot meth lab on the premises. Other officers present, such as Inv. Jamie Lowance, Inv. Lynn Ingle, Inv. Kim Holley and Deputy Dustin Jaco concurred, based upon their experience.

The methamphetamine task force was called in to assist with the disposal of the lab.

Young and Moore were arrested and a child in the custody of Young was taken to the grandparents.

April is Community Banking Month

By Aleis Stokes ICBA

The Independent Community Bankers of America and its nearly 5,000 community bank members are kicking off ICBA Community Banking Month by encouraging small business owners and consumers to bank locally with a community bank. By doing so, customers will make a hometown investment they can be proud of because community banks put local deposits back to work right where it belongs...in the community.

“Community banks help area families achieve financial stability while also driving small business lending in their communities—all of which helps their local economy and community to thrive,” said Bill Loving, ICBA chairman and president and CEO of Pendleton Community Bank in Franklin, W.Va. “Throughout the month of April, our goal is to celebrate the unique role that community banks serve in our nation’s economic system while helping to educate consumers and small business owners about the benefits of banking locally with their community bank.”

By driving local economies and creating local jobs, community banks are an integral part of our nation’s financial system. With nearly 5,000 members, representing more than 24,000 locations nationwide and employing 300,000 Americans, ICBA members hold $1.3 trillion in assets, $1.1 trillion in deposits, and $800 billion in loans to consumers, small businesses and the agricultural community. There are almost 7,000 community banks, including commercial banks, thrifts, stock and mutual savings institutions, with more than 50,000 locations throughout the United States. Assets may range from less than $10 million to $10 billion or more.

Community banks constitute 96.8 percent of all banks.

“Community banks are relationship lenders that thrive when their customers and communities do the same. Taking care of customers and looking out for the best interest of local communities is the community banking business model,” said Loving.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Well, the second spring fling has come and gone, and if you missed it, you missed some great opportunities and buys like tools, a 7 foot dining room table, Nike golf shirts, and golf clubs, along with gift certificates for nails, shampoos, for yourself and your car, and 8 delicious cakes.

A special guest was Peyton Hillis, of the Kansas City Chiefs, and his wife Amanda, who stopped by and donated game balls that he received in his playing career.

We also had signed guitars from Jose’ Scott of the band Saliva with pictures of him signing the guitars.

The preliminary numbers seemed to indicate we raised over $20,000 after all our bills are paid and sponsorship money is paid in. None of this would have been possible without the support of our many Jesus Cares volunteers, Misty Huckabee and the MCHS kitchen staff and crew, and being able to use the MCHS facility, and of course, the generous donation of time, talent, and treasure of many of you.

You will continue to see the church sponsor board, with 52 sponsoring members, and 4 event sponsor boards comprising 210 business and individuals, and we thank you all.

(YES) we will do this again next year, and we will let you know the time and place. We will meet in the next few weeks to tweak the good and the spots we can improve upon. Bill Abernathy has agreed to head up the event next year, and we are excited about him and his new innovated ideas.

In closing, I again thank our sponsor Modern Woodmen, and our 2 musicians, Terry Wooten and James Neisler, for sharing their musical talents, and Mark and Mathew Kennedy and the staff for conducting the auction pro-bono, and all of you who came and contributed your time, talent, treasure to make transitional housing possible here in McNairy County.

Why or why not?

Sue Whitten (Leapwood):

Sally Lawhon (Stantonville):

Mary Huggins (Selmer):

Kay Hill (Selmer):

April Potts (Selmer):

“Yes, because the schools and roads need money,”

“Yes, because it would be benefitting our schools.”

“Yes, I would because we need a county animal shelter and I’m on the committee for the county animal shelter and part of the wheel tax will eventually go for that...”

“Yes, it would be beneficial for the schools.

I think that we need more money for the schools, better schools.”

“No, we’ve already had to pay for the Justice Complex and that’s been years and years.

We are taxed to death now and I think we don’t need anything else.”

“Yes, because the schools need more money.

They’re underfunded.”

Honesty is always the best policy

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

I have three children at home; Fox, 8, Pixel, 3, and Moxie, 1. As I watch them grow and navigate life’s obstacles, I am often reminded of my own childhood.

Recently, my daughters were in their room playing and baby Moxie ran out of the room screaming. Although, I did not know the exact cause of this tantrum, previous situations have taught me that her older sister is often to blame.

When asked what happened, my oldest daughter Pixel said, “Moxie is sad.”

When asked why, she just shrugged her shoulders and turned away.

I probed a little further and finally got her to admit that she had hit her little sister because she had taken a toy.

For a 3-year-old lying comes naturally, so I tried not to be too upset at her. I gave her a three minute time-out (our children each get one minute of time-out for each year they have been alive) and I explained that honesty is always the best policy.

When my children lie, I am always reminded of times as a teenager when I lied to my parents. One instance when I found myself in a situation where I had to call them and admit that I had lied to them always stands out in my mind. It was an embarrassing situation, but it also helped me realize that I could talk to them about anything.

This situation happened about six months after my 16th birthday. A friend and I were going to our church’s youth group sleep-over and we left a couple of hours early to get a bite to eat.

I was a new driver and had borrowed my father’s car to go to the event.

A lake-effect snow storm had blanketed our NorthernIndiana county with nearly a foot of snow a day before, and my parents had warned me not to leave town because many of the outlying roads were still slick.

I picked up my friend, and the two of us decided on doughnuts. Unfortunately for me, we decided not to eat them but to do them in the school’s parking lot.

My high school was about five miles out of town and was on spring break that week. When we arrived, we found its large parking lot empty and covered with the fresh snow.

My father’s car was a front wheel drive, so our recipe for doughnuts called for us to accelerate quickly in reverse, and make a hard turn on the wheel in either direction. This would cause the car to start spinning until the car came to a rest.

Now, I said that this was a large empty lot, which is true, but there were several large snow piles from previous storms pushed against all of the tall light towers in the parking lot.

Each of these piles was about 200 feet apart and I felt confident that we had a safe distance between each to do our thing.

I was wrong.

After successfully completing a few more doughnut maneuvers, I accelerated particularity fast, swung the wheel to the right and spun several times, ending up with my front end half-way up one of the large snow piles.

We were stuck.

I tried to drive the car forward and then in reverse, hoping to free the car but with no success. Next, we decided to try to push the car while it was in neutral. Again we had no luck.

Finally I got the bright idea to put the car into reverse while we pushed it free.

I put the car into gear, shut the door and then heard a click.

“Oh no,” I had remembered too late that this model of car automatically locks the doors when the car is driving in gear.

Now my car was stuck, and it was out of town where I was not supposed to be. It was all too clear by the doughnut shaped snow angels in the fresh snow that I was also doing things I was not supposed to do. And to top it all off, I was now locked out of my running car with its tires spinning in reverse.

The nearest house was more than a mile away, and my biggest fear now was that the car would become unstuck and careen in reverse into a ditch or even worse, my high school.

I bit the bullet, and did the only thing I could. I called my parents.

I told my father that I was stuck in a snow pile at the school.

When my father arrived, he was upset but clear-headed.

Examining the evidence, he immediately knew what had happened.

But he did not yell.

He simply helped me unlock the car and get it out of the snow pile. I, of course, was grounded. No car for weeks and no sleep-over. But, under the circumstances, I respected my father for how forgiving he was. I hope that, as a parent, I can handle the stupid things my children are bound to do in the coming years as well as he did that day.

I also learned a valuable lesson about being truthful.

His reaction made me feel closer to him and made me want to be honest with him.

On the way home, after dropping my friend at the church, he even shared some of the stupid things he did when he was a teen.

It was not the last time that I lied to my parents, but after that, I always felt that I could be honest with them. In the years that have followed, I have tried to keep an open dialogue with my parents and have always tried to be honest with them. At times, for my mother’s sanity and at my father’s request, I would leave out some of the details of my work during Army deployments while in combat areas. But for the most part, I have been able to share everything with them. I have even come clean about most of the stupid things I did as a child that they did not know about at the time.

We can laugh about it now, but sometimes when I recount a particularly dangerous or careless stunt I pulled as a child, I still see them wince.

As a parent, I hope that my children can feel as comfortable telling me about their problems as I did with my parents, and I hope that I have the strength to handle it as well as they did. After all, honesty is the best policy.

Cards face stiff competition in Huntingdon

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

Adamsville made the trip to Huntingdon, Tenn., to face off against Huntingdon, Henry County and Camden. It was a rough tournament for the redbirds, who did not record a win.

Huntingdon 6 Adamsville 5

Adamsville ended the tournament against the host team Huntingdon but could not overcome the seventh inning deficit.

The Cardinals jumped out to an early lead scoring one run in the first and three in the second. Seniors Josh Chappell and John Reed Odom scored three of the Cardinals’ five runs at the top of the lineup, but they did not score enough.

The redbirds held the Mustangs scoreless through two innings, then gave up a combined four runs in the third and fourth innings.

Adamsville managed to get one back, scoring one run in the fifth. The Mustangs answered in the bottom half, then took the lead in the sixth. The Cards were not able to recover and took their third loss of the tournament.

Henry County Adamsville

6 4

The Cardinals found themselves down two after the first inning but answered back with three runs in the top of the second.

The Cards only trailed by one going into the third inning, but Henry County would put up another two runs in the bottom half, and that’s all that they would need.

Although Josh Chappell settled in on the mound and slowed the Henry County offense down, the redbirds were not able to manufacture enough runs to get the job done.

Bobcats win two in Gulf Coast Classic 1 R, 1 RBI

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer The Lady Bobcats traveled to Mississippi last week to face some tough competition in the Gulf Coast Classic.

McNairy faced off against James Clemens, Huntsville, Jeff Davis, Madison, Leroy and Northridge.

James Clemens 6 McNairy Central 3 The Bobcats went into their last game of the tournament looking for their third win.

The Lady Cats found themselves down early, behind 3-0 after the second inning.

McNairy picked up the offense and answered with two runs in the bottom of the third and one in the bottom of the fourth.

Unfortunately for the Bobcats, they were not able to hold off the James Clemens offense and left Mississippi with only two wins for the tournament.

first inning, and never looked back.

The offense was only able to score one more run in the game, but the pitching was able to shut down their opponents, and they recorded their second win in a row.

Huntsville 6 McNairy Central 3 The Lady Cats came off their win against Jeff Davis and hoped to keep the strong offense going.

McNairy jumped out to a fast start, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning, but that would be the only ones they would be able to score.

The Bobcats fought but fell short, giving up two runs in the fourth and fifth innings, and could not come away with the win.

McNairy Central 10 Madison 07 McNairy Central started strong and never let up against the Mustangs. The Lady Cats scored four runs in the first inning but gave up three on the defensive side.

It was a tough battle until the third inning, when the Lady Cats were able to pull away enough to take the lead for good.

McNairy finished strong on the rubber and came away from the game with their first win of the tournament.

Leroy 7 McNairy Central 1 After the loss in their opening game of the tournament, the Bobcats were looking for a win against Leroy.

McNairy could not get the offense going. Being down 7-0 after the third inning, the Bobcats needed to rally to come back, but could not.

The Lady Cats were able to score one in the fourth but that’s all they would get, and it would not be enough.

Bobcats battle Tigers

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

McNairy Central was able to take a win away from Bolivar but could not follow up at home.

Bolivar Central McNairy Central

2 1

It was a pitchers’ duel with lefty Chase Smith going on the hill for the Bobcats. Smith recorded nine strikeouts in the game and did not give up a run until the forth inning. Smith would pitch well but give up another run in the sixth which would seal it for the Tigers.

The Bobcats offense just could not find their rhythm. It was the sixth inning before senior Jacob Mullins could finally cross the dish but it was the only run the Cats could score as they dropped their second game against the Tigers.

After playing in Middleton the Bobcats made the short trip over to Bolivar to face off against another group of Tigers.

McNairy kept their hot bats from Middleton and got out to a good start against Bolivar. Justin Roberts got the big knock for the Bobcats sending a home run over the right field wall extending the Bobcat lead.

Up 6-1 after three innings the Cats gave up four runs in the fourth, but bounced back to put up five more runs and left Hardeman County with a pair of wins.

Bobcats crush Middleton

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Bobcats came into their second game with the Middleton Tigers looking to get the offense in rhythm and did just that.

McNairy Central Middleton

17 00

The Bobcats’ offense exploded on the Tigers, scoring six runs in the first inning, and never looked back. Patience, and well timed hits were the keys to the Bobcats’ success, and they continued to push runs across at an alarming rate.

With the great run support, starting pitcher Austin Pace found his groove on the hill and pitched his way to a complete game shut-out. Pace recorded three strikeouts in four innings of work and only gave up the lone hit in the Bobcats’ commanding win.

Sports Writer

The Cardinals made the short trip to Hardin County last Tuesday but could not come back with a win.

Hardin Co. 12 Adamsville 02

The Cardinals started the game well with a lead off hit from senior John Reed Odom. Odom was followed up by Canon Smith getting on base, allowing Josh Chappell to record his only RBI of the contest. Smith later came in to score on an RBI from catcher Alex McSwain, but that was all the Cards were able to get.

Odom, who got the game started at the plate, also got the start on the mound against his rivals from the other side of the river. Odom gave up only four hits while recording three strikeouts in the four innings of work but had a few command issues and a few errors behind him.

The Cardinals are looking to improve on their play as they move into the district schedule and hope to be in the mix come tournament time.

“We have to get better,” said head coach Rennard Woodmore. “We have a lot of young guys, and they are getting experience at

Cardinals From Page 1B the Lions, but worked hard to try and chip their way back.

Adamsville answered the six runs scored by the Lions in the first inning by scoring three of their own in the bottom half. However, the Cardinals could not push enough runs across to keep up with the hot Camden offense.

On the hill, the Cardinals had problems from the beginning. Giving up 12 hits and eight total walks in the game with three errors behind them, the Cardinals’ pitching staff had a hard time keeping the Lions off the board.

The Redbirds hit the ball well but could not find it on the mound and opened the Huntingdon tournament

with a loss.

Lady Cats fall to Lady Tigers

The Lady Bobcats made the drive to Lexington, Tenn., last Monday for their second district match-up of the season.

Lexington McNairy Central

2 0

The Lady Bobcats came home from the gulf coast ready for their district matchup against the Tigers.

The game turned into a pitcher’s duel as Kelly Beth Earnest took the mound and threw a solid game for the Lady Cats. Earnest gave up two runs in the first but put up nothing but zeros after that.

It was the Bobcat offense that had problems getting started, and they record no runs on only three hits in the game.

The Lady Bobcats fall to an even 8-8 on the season and are 0-2 in district play.

TN “Distracted” Driving Awareness Month – More than Just Texting

More Than 3,000 Distracted Driving Deaths in U.S. Yearly

By John Michaelson Tennessee News Service

Today kicks off Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and experts have said the problem goes way beyond texting or talking while behind the wheel.

Joel Feldman, founder of the Casey Feldman Foundation, noted that three-quarters of all distracted driving injuries and deaths are unrelated to cell phones.

“You can’t legislate against me reaching for my GPS, me reaching into my glove compartment, me reaching around if I’ve got an infant in the back in the car seat, me eating - there’s just so many things that can be distracted driving,” he explained.

Feldman became an advocate for the issue after his 21-year-old daughter was struck and killed by a distracted driver in 2009. Nationwide, he said, distracted driving is responsible for nearly 400,000 in-

juries and more than 3,000 deaths per year.

Many of Feldman’s efforts are focused on younger drivers. He works with lawyers nationwide who deal daily with the tragic consequences of distracted driving accidents to carry the message into schools about the need to break dangerous habits.

“Studies show that teens who grow up in a household where the parents drive distracted are two to four times

Moody’s Auto Sales

more likely to drive distracted,” he said. “I drove distracted all the time before my daughter was killed - I was a poor role model, I would drive distracted with my kids in the car.”

Feldman said many students express concerns about their parents’ distracted driving.

In Tennessee, texting while driving is illegal.
