SES students visit circus after elephant drive-by

PINSON MOUNDS STATE PARK

IA Staff Report (Sections of this staff report were drawn with permission from the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.)

A 39-year-old circus elephant, Carol, is recovering at a Circus farm in Springfield, Mo. after being hit by a bullet in a drive-by shooting April 9 in Tupelo, Miss.

Despite this senseless act of violence committed against one of its own, members of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus welcomed second graders from Selmer Elementary to its Tupelo show last Friday.

Local students, many of whom were unaware of last week’s shooting, enjoyed a spirited performance from the circus.

“It was good, we missed seeing the elephants..they took them out of the show,” said Pam Killingsworth, principal, Selmer Elementary School. “Several of (the students) were asking ‘Where are the elephants?’”

Killingsworth said the school was aware of the shooting, but after talking with teachers and parents chaperoning the trip they felt it was a safe environment for the students.

This was the first trip for SES to this circus.

“Circus was ok, but it was somewhat disappointing,” said Madine Nichols, 1st grade teacher. “The security was tight.”

Nichols said that she wished that there would have been more animals but overall the children all seemed to have a good time. She said that the circus trip had been planned since early February.

Last week’s elephant shooting at the circus in Tupelo has garnered national attention. Following the outrage over the drive-by shooting that wounded Carol, the Tupelo Convention and Visitors Bureau began offering a way for people to offer a little support.

An elephant sized get-well card was in the lobby of the Tupelo CVB for anyone to sign and was moved to BancorpSouth Arena last Friday afternoon for people to sign while at the circus.

Being an officer of the law is physically demanding and dangerous. It is highly unusual for someone to do it for nearly a half century, but Bethel Police Chief T. E. “Pee Wee” Sowell has.

Sowell served as Stantonville Town Marshall in 1964 and was elected Constable in the Fourth District.

Sowell has both been shot at and has had to shoot at suspects, though never to kill.

Much of the trouble that Sowell had to respond to used to be at night clubs. Once, Sowell had to arrest someone, but as was a common occurrence, he had to fight the suspect first in order to subdue him.

“He came out of the car with the handcuffs on. Then he came out of the handcuffs. I went and got him again and put him in there and he got out again. That time I told him to stop. I pulled my pistol out and was going to shoot him in the leg and knock

A small piece of latex glove recovered from a crime scene identified a suspect in a burglary committed in Selmer in 2011.

According to an incident report by Deputy Randall Sanders and provided by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department, a family came back from Tunica, Miss. and found a 300 pound safe and some change missing.

Inside the safe was $2,500 in cash, a Hawkings muzzle loader, a .38 Smith and Wesson revolver, $3,000 worth of miscellaneous jewelry and important papers and birth certificates.

During the investigation, a small piece of latex glove was discovered and sent to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab in Memphis, Tenn. The lab reported on April 1 that the DNA on the glove matches that of Eric Wayne Thorn from Alabama Thorn is currently in the

Selmer does not rehire Garland at hearing, lawsuit planned

By Jeff Whitten and Christen Coulon

FINGER SWEARS-IN NEWEST ALDERMAN Cassie Hostetler appointed to fill town’s vacant seat

PAGE 5A

Staff Writers The Selmer Board of Aldermen failed to rehire fired policeman Quinton Garland at his appeal hearing last Thursday.

A motion by Alderman John Finlayson died for the lack of a second.

Garland had been fired after he was arrested on charges of domestic assault in February. These charges were dismissed at a preliminary hearing in General Sessions for insufficient evidence. The alleged victim, Jalessa Westbrooks, refused to testify against Garland, citing her right against self-incrimination.

Mayor David Robinson opened the meeting by saying that the burden of proof that Garland didn’t violate the City’s policies and procedures rested upon him.

“The proceedings in General Sessions Court should have no bearing on the decision made here tonight,” Robinson said.

“As the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, we are obligated to uphold the Charter, the Municipal Code, ordinances, policies and procedures currently in place, without personal bias or pressure to popular opinion,” Robinson said.

Robinson said that police officers are held to a very high standard because of the nature

of their duties and their constant interaction with the public.

“We’ve made every attempt to be consistent and fair when addressing every violation of policy. The review process is well documented and not prejudiced by friendships or personality,” Robinson said.

Chief of Police Neal Burks told the board that Garland had advised that he had prepared food on Feb. 9 on what was to be a family day. Around 11 p.m., Westbrooks and her sister left and did not return until after1 a.m.

Garland was sitting at the table eating when

Pinson Mounds State Park: Fun family destination Farmers’ market picked for media day

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

Pinson Mounds State Archaeological Park, located just north of the Chester-McNairy County line, is an ideal family destination with miles of paved, flat hiking paths along with other attractions that are suitable for visitors of all ages.

The park itself contains the largest Middle Woodland Moundbuilder site in the country and the second largest prehistoric mound in North America. The ceremonial site includes a mound complex of more than 400 acres with unique earthworks dating back more than 2,000 years.

The Moundbuilders, who lived long before modern Native American tribes, used the largest mounds for ceremonies, while smaller mounds as well as the twin mounds, were used for burials.

The largest mound and centerpiece of the park is Sauls Mound, named after the family that owned most of the land. The mound itself is more than 70 feet tall with a wooden observation tower built on top and was built by the ancients using hand carried basket-loads of dirt. The mound is so massive that it would take a line of full dump trucks 26 miles long to recreate it.

“We have maybe as many as 45 mounds here,” said Park Manager Tim Poole. “We have two maybe three kinds of mounds here at Pinson...and it is the largest surviving Middle Woodland mound complex in existence. A predominate number of the mounds were used as ceremonial mounds with four distinctive corners aligned to the cardinal directions.”

Poole said that there are also small burial mounds and what ex-

The Selmer Farmer’s Market is one of the six farmers markets that have been picked by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture department for media day, June 21, Parks and Recreation Director Sybil Dancer told the Selmer Board of Aldermen at its April 9 meeting.

“I thought it was a big honor to be picked since we’re just three years in our Farmers’ Market,” Dancer said.

“The Farmers’ Market—we’re really getting ready to start pushing it and see if we can’t get a lot of traffic down there,” Dancer said.

Dancer told the Board of Aldermen that the county commission voted to partner with the city on a Recreational Trails Program grant. The money will be used to resurface the walking trail if the application is successful.

In answer to a question from Alderman John Smith, Dancer said the city’s share of the grant is $5,200.

Dancer told the board that the walking trail will be widened from four to six feet, which will make it more ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible, as well as being made thicker.

Dancer will administer the grant.

Utility Director Richard Ashe told the board that water meters within the city limits had all been replaced, representing about half of all Selmer water meters These new meters can be read without going to each house.

“It will give us more accurate water meters. It will make it easier to get a more accurate reading and just to modernize the water system,” Ashe said.

He said the project is running ahead of deadline and if the weather is as good next month as last month, they will almost be finished by then. The project is also running a little under budget.

“This will almost eliminate human error,” Ashe said.

In other news from the meeting, the board approved the permit for the Freedom Festival Parade to be held July 4. The parade will begin at noon at the courthouse and end at 12:30 p.m. at the city park.

The board dealt with three zoning matters at its meeting.

It first amended the zoning ordinance to permit off-premise directional signs in B-2 zones (the central business district) not to exceed six inches by 30 inches. The signs must be uniform and limited to a name and a directional sign.

Next, they rezoned property along Second Street from B-2 (Central Business District) to R-2 (Medium Density Residential).

That is the house on the corner of Warren and Second Street, Robinson said. It had previously been residential before it was zoned commercial.

Finally, they rezoned property on Peach Street between North Walnut and North Holly Street from B-1 (General Business to R-2.)

the heel off his boot. Then I shot at the other leg and hit him in the heel. It burned the hide—the bullet did. I got him in the car and brought him to the hospital and then out to the jail,” Sowell said.

Sowell and Deputy Dick Travis were coming in from a night club on Highway 57, when gunshots shattered the windows on their patrol cars.

“Somebody shot the car out from under us,” Sowell said.

“We never did find out who shot us, but they shot every window right out of the car,” Sowell said.

Once at a club near the Mississippi state line, Sowell had to fight four or five men until another Constable showed up.

“He showed up and then the Sheriff showed up, Pusser, and we got that settled down. When we got through, we had three patrol cars full of people,” Sowell said.

The biggest fight Sowell was involved in occurred at a club in Selmer, where he fought three men until a police Lieutenant from Selmer came to his aid.

“I’ve had some awful close calls,” Sowell said.

Sowell was cut once on his arm with a pocket knife.

“It’s all dangerous and rough. You didn’t make arrests back then without having to fight. Now it’s drugs and things and they want to shoot you,” Sowell said.

Once Sowell had to go to a Guys night club that would not close on Sunday. Sowell arrested two people, but the bouncer came out of the club and tried to free the suspects.

“I had trouble with him, so he wound up getting a few knots on his head,” Sowell said.

Sowell was once called to Guys-Chewalla Road on fighting and disturbing the peace.

“We got seven of them down there that night. We got skinned up pretty good,” Sowell said.

Once Pee Wee came out of a club with a fellow thrown over his shoulder.

Sowell worked with Sheriff Buford Pusser, who was only allowed two deputies, so Pusser paid Sowell out of his own pocket. Sowell was also elected four terms as Constable.

In 1970, Sowell went to work for Clifford Coleman, who defeated Pusser, in the Sheriff’s race. Sowell was Coleman’s deputy until 1973, when he joined the Selmer Police Department. Sowell retired from the SPD in 1999, at the rank of Sergeant.

Once when Sowell was with SPD, he did not have to fight alone, until his fellow officer was hit and knocked out.

“The guy hit one of the officers and knocked him out and that left me with two...They had me on the ground rolling around. I finally came out on top. One of the other officers from Selmer came,” Sowell recounted.

“I got beat up pretty good that night,” Sowell added.

Once Sowell and two other deputies were called to the western end of the county where suspects were gambling and drinking on a Sunday afternoon. Once the deputies arrived, they faced .22 rifle fire.

“We got behind a log and turned the fire back into the old house,” Sowell said.

Sowell crawled on his stomach through the woods back to his patrol car. He then started it and put it in low gear. He drove the car nearly up to the porch and then ran around to the back door and kicked it in.

“Somebody got hit in that round,” Sowell said.

In Part 2 of my interview with Chief Pee Wee Sowell, read about how he helped find and destroy whiskey stills and his memories of Sheriff Buford Pusser.

Westbrooks turned the light off and went to bed and he turned it back on.

She came back in and turned the light off and went back to bed. Burks said Garland advised him that he got into an argument with Westbrooks, he pulled her out of the bed and to the floor. Burks said Garland told him Westbrooks started to hit him and he shoved her into the wall. Burks then advised Garland that he was suspended until further notice, pending an administrative investigation, which was turned over to Lt. Tony Miller.

After conducting his investigation, Miller identified three policies that he believed were violated by Garland. The first is officers are expected to conduct their private and professional lives in such as way as to avoid adverse reflection upon themselves as a member of the department. The second is that no officer shall conduct himself in a manner unbecoming to a police officer and detrimental to the service. Finally, Miller said Garland had violated a policy that no officer shall commit a criminal offense.

Miller said that Cpl. Bob Pipkins, who responded to the call, determined that Garland was the primary aggressor. Miller said that Garland admitted using physical force against Westbrooks to Pipkins and Inv. Lynn Ingle, who also investigated the incident.

“He (Garland) admitted that he did enter the bedroom where Miss Westbrooks was at and he used physical force to turn over Miss Westbrooks and by that reviewing the assault statutes in the state and also our policy, regardless of how slight, that moving of someone against their will, that constitutes an assault,” Miller said.

Miller said that in the past violations like these under similar circumstances have led to dismissal and he saw no reason not to do the same in this case.

For these reasons, Miller recommended Garland be dismissed.

INDEPENDENT APPEAL v PAGE 3A “I love working here. I love working for this department. I love the people of this town,” Garland said in his defense.

Garland said he felt he was one of the best police officers on the force, that he has never had a problem with any other police officer and has done what he was told.

In response to a question from the Mayor, Garland denied the charges.

Garland said he had character witnesses present and asked if they could speak in his behalf. The Mayor replied that it was not an issue of his performance as a police officer. The audience filled the meeting room.

Garland’s attorney, D J Norton, told the board that Ingle was the first officer on the scene and found no indication of a domestic assault. The physical evidence did not match up to Westbrooks statement, Norton added.

“Her shirt was not stretched. There were no marks upon her,” Norton said.

Norton said there was no evidence that Garland committed a domestic assault.

Garland said he did not commit domestic assault but was defending himself.

“I love that girl,” Garland said about Westbrooks.

“I’m a good man. I’m a good officer,” Garland added.

Norton said you can’t say that Garland committed a criminal offense, as one of the alleged violations of policy does, because the criminal charge was dismissed.

“Please, please consider this man.

He’s a good man. This (the domestic assault) did not happen. It was blown out of proportion. He’s embarrassed by what happened, but he did not assault this woman...His character is impeccable. Please give him another chance,” Norton said.

Finlayson said that any officer who drank a beer could be charged with conduct unbecoming an officer and the criminal charges were dismissed.

“When he’s in uniform, he’s one of the best we’ve ever had,” Finlayson said about Garland.

Finlayson moved that Garland be reinstated, subject to a 60-day suspension without pay retroactive to the date of his termination, Feb. 15, to completion of an anger management class and that he be placed on a 90-day probationary period.

“Hearing no second, that motion dies,” Robinson said.

Following the meeting Norton told the Independent Appeal that he plans to file a civil rights violation law suit against the city. “(Garland) was treated differently than other officers have been in the past if you look at their personnel files.

No other officer has been treated quite like he has,” Norton said.

Norton declined to name specific cases in which procedures were followed differently, however, he said that this pattern would be the basis for his case.

Garland will first have his complaint addressed within the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Once they hear the case, if the commission approves the case it would then be filed in the Western Tennessee Federal District Court.

Norton said that he was surprised that he was prevented from speaking at the appeal hearing and said that he had never witnessed a similar meeting in which a client’s attorney was prevented from speaking.

Norton said that following the handling of the appeal hearing, he was calling for the resignation of Mayor Robinson. In addition, media reports have suggested that a petition was in circulation asking for the resignation of both Robinson and Burks.

Both men said they had heard of the petition and both said that they had no intention of resigning.

“We are very consistent in the way that we apply our policies and procedures, and we will continue to apply them consistently,” Robinson said about the fairness of the appeal hearing.

Robinson said that he was unable to comment further on the pending litigation.

Miskelly proposes school renovation, needed repairs

School board discusses student overcrowding

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly proposed a list of renovations and repairs to county schools at the April 8 meeting of the McNairy County Commission. The commission may consider this proposal at its next meeting.

Miskelly said the proposal was developed in consultation with school administrators and the public.

“It’s not in any way to take the place of a future building program,” Miskelly said.

Miskelly told the commission that some of the cost estimates are more precise than others but that they could be paid for by a 12 to 15 year capital outlay note. He said the education department would seek to pay for the debt service out of its regular annual budget.

Miskelly said that the first and most important repair on the list is to replace the roof at McNairy Central High School at an estimated cost of around $1 million.

“We have to get that done this year,” Miskelly said.

The second item on the list was resurfacing or replacement of school parking lots.

“Most of us feel that our parking lots in our schools are in dire need of some resurfacing, overlaying—maybe in some places digging up and starting over, but we have some very large needs of some parking lot replacement on just about every school campus,” Miskelly said.

The cost of this item is estimated to be about $600,000.

Next on the list is construction of four classrooms at Selmer Middle School at an estimated cost of $500,000. Miskelly explained that Selmer Elementary School, SMS and MCHS are where special needs

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

In response to a question from audience member Jackie Weaver, the McNairy County Board of Education discussed overcrowding and one solution that had not been previously discussed, such as shifting some Adamsville Jr./Sr. High School students to McNairy Central High School.

School board chairman Frank Lacey said that AJSHS was designed to hold only 350 students but currently has 700.

In response to a question as to whether MCHS is overcrowded, Lacey said that it was designed to hold 1,600 students but only has 800 or 900.

Weaver asked if a possible solution would be to send all students from Michie and Ramer to MCHS, send the AJSHS Hardin County students back to their own county and rezone Adamsville to send enough students to MCHS to eliminate the overcrowding.

“What you’re really suggesting is to close down Adamsville High School.

There’s not that many at Adamsville that would come over here,” Lacey said.

Lacey said that if the 70 out of county students were sent home, that would still leave 630 students, or 200 over capacity at AJSHS. “The only way you could draw that line where those 200 wouldn’t come is to draw it right at Adamsville. Once you get to Lawton, they go to McNairy Central,” Lacey said.

Lacey said that a new school at Selmer would still have to be built because Selmer Elementary School was built in 1955 and is outdated. Adamsville Elementary School was built the same year.

“It would uncomplicate a lot of problems, but I’m not sure it’s what the people of McNairy County want,” Lacey said about the rezoning idea.

Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly said that since class sizes have been reduced from the 35 to 40 students of 30 years ago, MCHS’s capacity would be reduced from what it was then.

Miskelly explained that almost all of the teachers at the new schools would merely be reassigned from the old schools. However, there would be some new positions created, such as principals, vice-principals and guidance counselors.

students attend. This is a growing population and services being provided for them are expanding.

“We’ve got situations where we’ve got two rooms with as many as eight adults in those two rooms with the students. It’s becoming a situation that we certainly need to address,” Miskelly told the commission.

Miskelly noted that four classrooms have been built at Michie Elementary School, six classrooms and some offices have been built at Bethel Springs Elementary School and four classrooms at Ramer Elementary School.

Sections of new roof on SES, MES and SMS are also on the list.

The proposal also includes installing air conditioning at the Adamsville Jr./Sr. High School gym. It is the only gym in the county not currently air conditioned.

Miskelly said that the last two times air conditioning was installed was MES and SMS. The schools assisted and discussions would be had with AJSHS about it helping with the effort.

Under the plan, new bleachers would be installed at AJSHS and SMS. The plan would also replace several air and heating units at Adamsville Elementary School.

Funds are also being requested for the renovation of the MCHS Little Theatre. Miskelly said that MCHS had been there since 1969 and very little has been done to update the theatre. This upgrade would involve curtains, lighting and sound. Money for renovation to the band room was also requested.

School board discusses out of county students

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

In response to a question from the audience, the McNairy County Board of Education discussed out of county students at their meeting last Thursday.

Audience member Robert Chambers asked the board how many out of county students there are, how much the state pays per out of county student and how much it costs.

School board chairman Frank Lacey explained that the two schools that have the majority of out of county students are Adamsville Jr./Sr. High School and Adamsville Elementary School, but there are out of county students at other schools. Out of county students at Adamsville schools do pay a tuition of $250 per student, up to $600, except students who are the children of school system employees do not pay tuition.

“Most of them gladly pay,” Lacey said.

That is more than the property tax on the median home in McNairy County. The median McNairy County house is appraised at $60,000 and pays about $500 in property taxes, Lacey said. Most of the out of county students live within a mile of the Adamsville city limits. Adamsville is two-thirds in McNairy County and one-third in Hardin County.

“When you buy a house in Adamsville, you naturally think: I can go to Adamsville school,” Lacey said.

“If the board wants to eliminate out of county students, that is fine, but it won’t affect Adamsville as much as it will the entire system,” Lacey said.

Lacey said eliminating the 150 out of county students would result in the loss of $600,000 in state money. This money pays for teachers throughout the entire school system. Lacey said eliminating out of county students would reduce average class sizes by one or two students per class, which will not reduce the need for space or teachers.

“We gain money from it,” Lacey said about out of county students.

Lacey said the money the school system gets from the state for out of county students cannot be used to build new schools. It is Basic Education Program funds. This money can be used to pay teachers.

Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly said BEP pays for 270 of the 370 or 375 McNairy County teachers. Out of county students generate about $1 million in BEP funds, enough to pay for about 20 teachers.

“We don’t have enough teachers,” Lacey said.

Lacey said that one of the biggest com-

plaints he hears from Adamsville is that they can not hire advanced math or science teachers.

“If we lost the money (for the out of county students), how would we make it up?”

Lacey asked.

The state and federal government pay about 80 percent of the cost to educate a student, with the county picking up the other 20 percent, Miskelly said.

School board member Tony Chapman said that out of county students do not cost the system money because of the economies of scale.

“We’ve already got the buildings, we’ve already got the teachers, we’ve got the heat, we’ve got the air-conditioning. They’re not costing us anything because of that,” Chapman said.

Board member Larry Smith said that over half out of county students at AES travel more than five miles. Smith suggested that the school system could save the 20 percent per out of county student it spends by not allowing out of county students.

Chapman repeated that it would not save money because of economies of scale.

“It’s funny to me that other counties around won’t allow other students,” Smith said.

Guys hires Norton as new city attorney

By Janet Rail Publisher

In last Monday’s meeting the board made a motion to hire a new city attorney, D. J. Norton. “I believe we need to hire D. J. Norton. He stated he would be more than happy to take it and would be at the meetings,” said Alderman Chris Howard.

The board passed a motion to pay Norton $125 per meeting and $125 per hour for work outside the meetings. “We will pay a retainer as we have in the past,” said Mayor Keith Rinehart. The board discussed review of a receipt from previous city attorney Ryan Feeney stating all payments were up to date regarding his service.

Mayor Rinehart stated a $5,100 payment made to the city as part of a recent CDBG Disaster Grant for purchase of the fire truck was designated for grant writer Shannon Cotter, and the city sent the check to her prior to the scheduled meeting as requested. The city approved the March 16 meeting minutes with one amendment and the financial report with a balance of $208,270.22.

The city received a letter from the Department of Economic and Community Development stating all requirements regarding the Guys Early Warning System were met. “It’s been a long time coming, but we received it. Everything with the tornado alarm system is done,” said Mayor Rinehart.

A local citizen, Bobby Stricklin, submitted a letter to the board stating he hit a pothole on Stison Road and had a witness, Ed Pollard, who heard the incident but was not an eye witness. Stricklin was requesting compensation for damage.

“Did you get a report from the police department? I do know that we have to have a

report to pay through our insurance. I spoke to Sam Chambers today at Chambers Insurance and he said Stricklin could contact him directly,” said Mayor Rinehart.

Alderman Howard made photos of the pothole prior to the city filling the pothole with cold mix. “I think we need a police report,”said Howard. “Generally we have to let Mr. Chambers talk to Mr. Stricklin and let the insurance company settle this,” said Alderman Wayne Henry. Stricklin was in the audience and agreed to meet with Chambers as no action was taken by the board.

The city had city employee David Sides build four wooden barricades to use for road blocks during routine repair at a cost of $60.

Sides also followed up with cold mix around two culverts installed by Dudley Ingram on S. Farmville and Guys Chewalla Road.

The board will have a presentation at the next scheduled meeting regarding National Flood Insurance availability for city residents.

The board agreed to reimburse Terry Crabb a $50 fee for First Responder Re-certification. Crabb is currently the only person available to respond to calls in the city of Guys. The mayor will also request the Fire Department burn a brush pile for the city per request of Sides.

The board made a motion to expand the job duties of David Sides to include the cleaning of the town hall as well as include future mowing of city property in two separate motions. The board also approved purchase of a mower not to exceed $4,500.

“I have looked at some pricing of mowers in the past and they were in the range of $3,000,” stated Alderman Henry. With no further business, the board made a motion to pay all bills and adjourn.

Adamsville eyes new water meters

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Adamsville Mayor David Leckner told the City Commission at its meeting last Monday that the town may need new water meters and that this may result in the need for lower rates.

The Water and Sewer Report showed that the city lost 27 percent of its water, not counting leaks.

“We’ve looked and the leaks just aren’t adding up to what we are seeing. I think another route is going to be required—meter replacement—massive meter replacement throughout our city. These things are outdated beyond their capacity, beyond their years of service,” Leckner said.

Leckner said the city will be looking for the money to replace these meters in next year’s budget.

“That is going to drive down our loss,” Leckner said.

City Administrator Steve Simon said that a leak detection survey is funded in this year’s budget. He added that there is a substantial leak somewhere on Highway 22.

“We have not found the source of that leak,” Simon said.

Simon added that 40 percent of Adamsville’s meters are over 15 years old. He estimated that about five percent of the water being pumped is either being lost through the old meters or through leaks that have not been discovered.

“As the earth changes and moves, we’re going to keep breaking lines...This is nonstop forever work,” Simon said.

For this reason, Simon recommended a leak detection survey every three years.

SCHOOL BUS BIDS The McNairy County Board of Education is requesting bids on (4) 2013 model (or newer) 78-passenger rear-engine school buses. Bids are to be submitted to the Superintendent of Schools, McNairy County Board of Education, Courthouse, Selmer, Tennessee 38375. Bids are to be submitted no later than 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Bid forms and specifications may be obtained from the School Bus Garage, 892 High School Road, Selmer, Tennessee 38375 (or) the Superintendent’s Office. Bids are to be submitted with the understanding that the McNairy County Board of Education reserves the right to reject any or all bids.

“If these meters start reading correctly, water bills are going to go through the roof, so the first thing you’re going to have to do once you put these in is be prepared to observe them over a short period of time and start collecting the data. You are going to have to adjust your rates to reflect that,” Leckner said.

Simon said that eight of the larger industrial meters have been replaced.

“We’re starting to see some good results from that,” Leckner said.

In other business, the commission approved on second reading, an ordinance allowing on-premise attached signs for schools, churches, public and semi-public uses in residential zones, with design and dimensions to be determined by the Board of Zoning Appeals. This ordinance now becomes law upon the Mayor’s signature.

Leckner said that Codes Enforcement Officer Danny Daniels will be taking the test for state certification as the residential building inspector. Leckner recommended that commercial inspections continue to be done by the state inspector.

Bids will be solicited for sidewalk construction for the Safe Routes to School Program. The deadline is May 7.

The commission voted to accept an $82,000 bid by Bobby Luttrell & Sons, LLC, of Dundee, Ky., to conduct a sewer inspection.

The commission voted to write off $39,000 in uncollected water bills as required by the state comptroller. The city will attempt to collect the $2,000 in bills less than $30 and will send the $37,000 in bills more than $30 to a collection agency. The city will get half of everything that the bill collectors are able to collect.

Do you think there’s going to be another Korean War? Why or why not?

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

It occurred to me recently that the U.S. Constitution is in the news a lot. It also seems to me that a lot of the coverage sometimes does not explain what they are talking about very well.

For these reasons, this is the first in a series of articles on various constitutional issues.

When thinking about the Constitution, the first thing you need to decide is who gets to interpret it and how should they do so. That is my topic this week.

One of the biggest misconceptions about the Constitution, I think, is that only the U.S. Supreme Court or another federal has the right to interpret it. The federal court and the “Supremes” can only interpret the Constitution in cases before them. They can’t roam around looking for constitutional issues to decide. State courts can interpret the constitution if there are constitutional issues in cases properly before them.

In deciding who can interpret the Constitution, you have to look at why the Supreme Court and federal courts have the right to do it. This was explained by an early Chief Justice, John Marshall, in the landmark case of Marbury v. Madison. After the Constitution was ratified, it was unclear if the Supreme Court had the right to hold acts of Congress unconstitutional. The Constitution does not say that it does. (Two rules of interpretation that will almost never steer you wrong are that when someone tells you the Constitution means something that is not in the text, be skeptical. A second is that if someone’s interpretation of the Constitution just so happens to align perfectly with their political preferences, be very skeptical. ) Marshall’s opinion in that case held that it did and he gave two reasons for this. The first is that the Supreme Court Justices take an oath to uphold the Constitution and the second is that the document gives the federal courts the responsibilities to decide cases or controversies. So when the federal courts decide cases, if they do so in an unconstitutional way, they would be violating their oath.

Although other officers of the government do not decide cases, they also take an oath to uphold the Constitution and may, on occasion, find it necessary to interpret the Constitution in the course of performing their duties. There also may not be federal or Supreme Court case law on the questions that come before them.

If there is, they may defer to it because of their legal expertise and probably will in most cases, but that is a choice of conscience that only they can make. The Constitution does not compel them to accept the Supreme Court’s or the federal courts’ interpretation.

This is particularly true of the President and the Congress, who are co-equal branches of the federal government. On rare occasions, you can get a Constitutional confrontation that will either require a “switch in time” by one of them or a resolution by the people voting consistently over time for one view, which will then likely be instilled in the federal courts through the appointment and confirmation process.

There is also historical precedent of state governments disagreeing with the Constitutionality of actions of the federal government. They have even prevailed on occasion, as in the case of the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions opposing the Alien and Sedition Act, which made it illegal to criticize the Adams Administration, which was then in office. Once Thomas Jefferson defeated John Adams in the next election, the act was repealed.

On the question of how to interpret the Constitution, there are various theories, some quite elaborate. However, I think you can look at it in a much simpler way.

Imagine you have a dear departed relative who wrote you a letter telling you to do something. The first thing you would look at in determining the letter’s meaning is the text. In Constitutional interpretation, this is called textualism.

If the meaning of the text is unclear, you might then look at the circumstances surrounding its writing in order to get clues to its meaning. This is called original intent or originalism.

Circumstances may have changed in ways that your relative did not anticipate or carrying out the wishes he expressed may be unwise. Then you may try to decide what he would have wanted you to do if he was aware of present facts. This is called the theory of the living Constitution and it is controversial. Opponents of this point out that there is an amendment process that is preferable to judges updating the Constitution. People on the other side of this issue argue that the amendment process is too hard and time-consuming and almost nothing can run its gauntlet. Opponents of the living Constitution counter that this is exactly as the framers of the Constitution intended it to be.

Pat Tigner (Hornsby): “I hope not.

There’s been enough wars going on. There should be some peace for a while.”

Benny Jennings (Bethel Springs): “Well, it could be the way things are looking now.

It could start up.

I think they’re looking for revenge on us for the last war we had with them.”

Dr. Jim Smith (Selmer):

Shirley Willcutt (Adamsville):

Rena Carnagey (Selmer):

Penny Howell (Selmer):

“I don’t think there will be. There’s been several threats both before and after this young leader took over. This is the first time he’s made a threat, but I think he’ll take the advice of some of his older advisers and not go to war.”

“Yes, I think there’s going to be another war. They’re still sending our troops over there when they are supposed to be sending them home.”

“No, I don’t think that we’re going to have another war. We may end up in another conflict, but not a war. We’re more advanced than we give our government credit for.

We can handle this. We’ll take care of it just like we did Gaddafi.”

“I hope not because we’ve got all the trouble we can deal with right now, as it is. We don’t need anymore.

Enough is enough. We don’t even have our troops back from the last time.”

Hello Everyone, We are still cleaning up here in Bethel Springs from the January storms things are getting better but we still have a long way to go .

John A. Burns of Ramer have been in the hospital, but is at home doing much better.

We extend to the family of James Sebree our deepest sympathy in the loss of their loved one, funeral services were held on Saturday, April 14, 2013 at the Cypress Creek First Baptist church in Selmer. Dixie Funeral Home of Bolivar was in charge of the arrangement, burial in Mt. Zion Cemetery.

Deliah Sebree and grandson Eric of Hickman KY

W.J. Surratt attended the meeting that was held by WBBJ in Jackson on Wednesday.

May we keep all the sick and shut-in in our prayers.

Charles Burns of Guys is slowly improving after several trips to the hospital.

Thoughts to Remember: 1.The human brain is like a freight car...guaranteed to have a certain capacity, but sometimes running empty.

2.The trouble with being punctual is that nobody is there to appreciate it.

3.Blessed are those who expect nothing for they shall never be dissappointed.

4.Money is a good servant, but a dangerous master.

McNairy County Health Care

ing Aide’s and Nurses get very attached to their patients and it is like losing part of your family, but time does march on.

So back to my original question how do you not just grieve when you lose one of these folks you call family? Well I read in a book once about someone who lost a dog and when she replaced the dog folks ask do you love this one better.

Her answer no not more just different. What a great answer.

There is no one who can tell me I look pretty like Mr. Kenneth or give me a sweet smile like Ms. Fawndree, but we have other patients with their own unique personality and I have the privilege of getting to know them.

Ms. Arah Presley who has recently moved to the hall close to my office is a sweet happy lady who loves candy.

Now that a lady I can make happy. The patient’s soon discover if you have a sweet tooth I am the lady to see.

Mr. Samuel Robison has also moved and he and I have had some great morning chats. He sure likes for me to push his chair back to his room he says it sure goes faster.

Whoever they are the folks who live in our home have a story to tell and I hope to be the story teller. Thank you for the oppurnity to care for your family. Without you and them I would have a dull world. To my favorite folks Mr. Kenneth and Ms. Fawndree I miss you both.

Until next time.

Time marches on

By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor I have often had people to ask me, “You get so attached to the residents, how do you stand it when you lose one? My answer is always there will be someone else here who needs someone to make them feel special. Two of my favorite folks have now gone home to be with the Lord.

Mr. Kenneth Morton was a man with an interesting personally. Mr. Kenneth always had a kind word for all the ladies in the house. I soon learned he liked the color pink. Whenever I walked down his hall he would say, “you sure look awful pretty today,” especially if I was wearing pink. His other famous saying was Hooch coochie Hattie from Cincinnati.

Now where that came from I am not sure but would love to hear him say it just one more time. Mr. Kenneth favorite things to do were smoke a cigar and flirt with all the ladies in the house. He never missed a smoke break or any pretty lady in the area.

Lexington wins 29th Baseball Spectacular

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

It was an amazing 29th edition of the Independent Appeal’s Baseball Spectacular this year, and we saw Lexington High School go 5-0 to claim their third championship and first since the 90s.

It was a well played tournament, with Lexington being the only team to get out of pool play undefeated. The Tigers met another group of Tigers from Hardin County in the championship game and came away with a big win, with the tournament MVP going to Lexington’s starting pitcher sophomore Ryne Odle, who also had a grand slam in the game.

It was a tough road for both teams to get to the title game. Lexington had to battle back for wins against the South Side Hawks and the McNairy Central Bobcats, while winning fairly easily against Scotts Hill and TCA. McNairy played well in their pool and only missed the title game due to their opening day loss to Lexington. The Bobcats went on to defeat South Side, Scotts Hill and TCA, coming away with a good tournament record even though they could not compete for the overall win.

Over in Adamsville in Pool A, Hardin County had a little bit of an easier road to compete for a title.

After easily defeating Adamsville, the Tigers went on to defeat Chester County and put up a 2-0 mark on the first day of the tournament.

Adamsville had a rough time in their first day of the tournament, giving up 30 runs in two games.

The Cardinals’ pitching struggled and showed how young they are on the mound. After losing to the

Adamsville loses two against Riverside

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Cardinals played their big district series last week against the Panthers from Riverside and could not come away with a huge win.

Riverside 16 Adamsville 05

The Cards got off to an early lead against the Panthers, pushing a run across in the first inning. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, the lead was short lived.

The Panthers were able to push two runs across in the first, taking back the lead, then six in the bottom of the second and three in the bottom of the third to extend their lead.

The Cardinals got some big RBIs from Josh Chappell and Trevor Griffin and were able to push two runs across in the top of the fourth, but the Panthers answered with

five of their own and secured the district win.

Adamsville made a last ditch effort in the top of the fifth but were only able to push two across and could not catch the strong Panthers.

The Lady Cardinals had a good week, picking up two wins and only one loss. The Lady Cards traveled to Riverside High School in Parsons, Tenn., and to Middleton, Tenn., and played host to district rival Scotts Hill.

The Lady Cards came into Riverside ready for the tough district match-up and played well against the Lady Panthers. Unfortunately for the Lady Cards, they were not able to put together the offense to take the big district win.

Determined to turn things around, the Lady Cards made a big offensive comeback against the Lady Lions when Scotts Hill came to town.

Adamsville jumped out to an early lead and the offense got rolling. With big base bits from Taylor Hutton, Parker Davis, Gabby Morris, and a huge home run from Junior Olivia Johnson, the Lady Cards rolled and took the win from the Lady Lions 11-1.

The offense kept rolling in the Lady Cards’ visit to Middleton and never let up against the Lady Tigers. Pushing across run after run, Adamsville asserted the dominance and shut out Middleton, taking home the win 11-0.

The Lady Cards have a few more must win district games to get a good seed for the district tournament and hopefully play late into the post season.

thers traveled to Adamsville for their second match of the series.

The Cards got off to a good start offensively after giving up one run in the top of the first. They were able to push three across of their own in the bottom half. Led by John Reed Odom and his four hits, the Cards were scoring runs at will.

Unfortunately, the Panthers were able to match everything the Cardinals put up. Battling back and forth, the Cardinals and the Panthers fought until the bottom of the seventh inning when the Cardinals found themselves down 12-11 with Odom at the plate for the redbirds.

John Reed came through, blasting a game tying home run over the center field wall to give the Cardinals a chance to win the game in the bottom of the seventh inning.

One was all the Cardinals could score in the bottom of the seventh and the game went into extra innings. During

Lady Cats take one from Lady Lions

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Lady Bobcats played two games last week against the Lady Lions from Scotts Hill but were only able to come away with one win. The Lady Bobcats wore their special pink uniforms on Saturday and showed their support for the fight against all types of cancer.

The Lady Bobcats got the bats rolling early against the Lady Lions and were able to put away the victory early.

Starting with Kelly Beth Earnest in the lead off spot, the Cats rolled scoring four runs in the first inning against the Lady Lions.

The offense did not slow down.

The ladies were able to push across two more in the bottom of the second and took an early 6-0 lead.

Earnest, again on the hill for the Lady Cats, threw another solid game.

Holding the Lady Lions scoreless until the fourth inning, Kelly Beth was a force in the circle for the Lady Cats.

After giving up two runs, the Lady Cats answered back with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning. That is all it took for the Bobcats to come away with a big win and to carry some momentum into the next week of the season.

Bobcats one win away from a one seed

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Bobcats hosted district rival Chester County last Monday night and came away with a huge district win.

McNairy Central Chester County

Although the Bobcats got a slow start from senior lead off Marcus Nash, they were able to push across enough runs for the big district win.

The Cats got going early, scoring a run in each of the first two innings and getting a lead for starting pitcher Chase Smith.

The lefty was able to put another strong start together for the Bobcats and recorded five strikeouts in seven innings of work, only giving up seven hits and one run in the game.

McNairy worked hard behind him, getting big RBIs from Justin Roberts and Tyler Wells, putting the Bobcats in position to clinch the number one seed in the south division in district play with one more win over the Eagles.

Lady Cats crush Liberty at home

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Lady Bobcats got a huge district win last Monday when they hosted the Lady Crusaders from Liberty.

McNairy Central 13 Liberty 03

The Lady Cats got off to an early start, scoring three runs in the first inning and never looking back. Kelly Beth Earnest led the way going 3-3 at the plate and scoring one run.

Earnest also got the start pitching for McNairy and threw well on the rubber. Earnest held the Lady Crusaders scoreless until the third inning.

Having a 3-2 lead going into the bottom of the third, the Lady Cats looked to add more, and they did. Pushing across two runs in the third and seven in the fourth, the Lady Cats jumped out to a commanding lead and would go on to take the huge district win from Liberty.

Tigers 14-3 in game one, the redbirds went on to drop game two to Chester County 16-0.

Adamsville was able to turn it around in day two and came away with two big wins, bringing their tournament record to an even 2-2. Turning on the offense and scoring in bunches, the Cardinals defeated the Waverly Central Tigers 12-7 and went on to defeat the Bolivar Tigers in their final game of the tournament.

Coming back on Saturday morning to make up the Thursday rainouts, the Hardin County Tigers had to win three games to take the title.

The Tigers took a big win 10-5 against the Bolivar Tigers, and with a Bolivar win over Waverly the Tigers locked their position in the big game. Hardin County went on to play their JV team to rest their starters for Lexington and ended up losing to Waverly 2-0 before falling to Lexington in the championship, finishing in a strong second place.

Rod Barnes, agriculture teacher at McNairy Central High School, was selected as the Outstanding Agriculture Teacher in Tennessee this past week during State FFA Convention in Gatlinburg. Mr. Barnes was recognized for the quality of instruction he provides students in his classes.

The selection committee also noted the success that the McNairy Central FFA program has had during his tenure as advisor.

Three McNairy Central FFA members earned the highest degree award that can be earned in Tennessee. Colton Smith, Tyler Mitchell, and Brad Hunt earned the State Degree Award during award ceremonies last week at the Tennessee FFA State Convention in Gatlinburg, Tenn. This award is based upon the total record of their four years of FFA membership. Each student was evaluated by his or her participation in FFA Contests and his or her FFA projects during the entire high school career. Only a select few students ever earn this award. The members of the McNairy Central FFA and their advisors want to congratulate them on this honor.

photo by Lisa Forsythe

Sewing is a popular topic among the ladies. Above, Meghin Leffingwell (Class of 2012) created may garments and decorative items with her sewing skills.

The Senior Project is an allyear-long project composed of the Four P’s - Paper, Product, Portfolio and Presentation.

•Paper - Since the dawn of time, at MCHS anyway, seniors have been required to complete a research paper as a graduation requirement.

The Senior Project takes this to the next level: the student’s paper must be on a topic related to their product.

•Product - The student will spend a minimum of 15 hours involved in creating some type of product. The product must involve a “learning stretch” for the student; in other words, something they’ve never done before. Each student must choose a qualified mentor to assist them through this part of the process.

•Portfolio - As with everything, documentation is nec-

essary. Students maintain a portfolio as they work on the product, documenting mentor information, time involved, and what they have learned.

•Presentation - The final stage has the student appearing before a panel of judges drawn from the community.

The student must give a 5-7 minute speech on their topic, complemented by visual aids and/or demonstrations. The student must then field questions from the panel.

The keys to a successful project are time management and choosing a good topic. Students have deadlines throughout the year they must meet. Students who choose topics they are interested in maintain their focus and interest in the project.

SENIORS

•APRIL 18-19: Prom Slide Show during lunch for $10 on DVD. Pick up pictures if you submitted them to be used.

•APRIL 30: MCHS will not accept checks from seniors for ANY reason after April 30. After that date, any debts owed or purchases made must be done with cash or money order only.

•MAY 8: Bring written confirmation of scholarships to Mrs. Rainey in Guidance.

•MAY 9: Senior Banquet at the Crazy K Ranch. More information to come soon.

•MAY 15: ALL debts must be cleared by 3:00 to be eligible for graduation.

•MAY 21: Graduation Practice at 11:15. You are REQUIRED to be at practice if you plan to walk the line.

Spring Show What happens when you put characters resembling Honey Boo Boo, Snooki, Si Robertson, and a range of others together? Mass chaos and a family that needs major help. Come see what happens when this family attempts to fix themselves at the MCHS’s annual Spring Show production put together by the school’s theatre, choir, and band classes. The production “Is it real, or is it family?” dates are April 26-27 starting at 7:00 P.M and on April 28 at 2:00 P.M. We guarantee a show full of great music, laughter, and family fun. Hope to see you there!
