Suspects now face theft and burglary charges in the case

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

MAY 2013

Two arrests have been made in the Adamsville Elementary School burglary case.

Chief Jerry Christopher of the Adamsville Police Department said that the first suspect, Shawn Wisnieski of Adamsville, was arrested last Friday by the APD. Christopher said that the second suspect in the case, Kevin Lane of Stantonville, was arrested last Monday by Inv. Robert Hitchborn of the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department.

Both suspects now face burglary and theft charges stemming from the case.

APD has been investigating the case since April after thieves broke into the school and stole six iPods, an iPad, a cell phone and one laptop computer.

According to the police report, Principal Danny Combs. contacted police and said that someone had broken into the school. He said that the suspects apparently entered from the roof and were captured on surveillance video.

The APD handled the overall investigation into the case.

However, Christopher said that assistance was provided by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department in the later stages of the investigation.

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY TURNS 80 Looking at the engine that powers the South PAGE 3A

Bethel Springs will get some aid from the state, County Mayor Ronnie Brooks told a town hall meeting last Tuesday in Bethel Springs.

The funds will come from the Rebuild and Recover Program from Tennessee Housing Development Agency.

Brooks said he could not yet give an exact amount.

“It’s a substantial amount,” Brooks said.

The funds will help those whose insurance did not cover all of their damage.

“We will probably be releasing a little bit more about that later,” Brooks said.

Brooks said county officials originally hoped that money would be forthcoming to reimburse the county highway depart-

ment for expenses it incurred for storm cleanup, but it would not.

“They did come through with a nice plan to help people who are displaced and whose property was completely destroyed,” Brooks said.

In March, THDA Director Ralph Perrey, Brooks, Bethel Springs Disaster Recovery Coordinator Norma Smith and other THDA officials toured the damage from strong storms that pounded Bethel Springs on Jan. 31.

This program is designed to help small communities like Bethel Springs, deal with such natural disasters as tornadoes or flash floods, which do not cause a sufficient amount of damage to reach the dollar threshold for aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Tennessee Emergency Management Agen-

cy. Under the program, small grants can be obtained as seed money for other funding and homeowners may be able to get second mortgages at a 4 percent interest rate.

Other possible aid includes six-month housing vouchers for homeowners and their families while their home is undergoing repairs and no-interest loans for home repair.

Mayor Brooks explained how he became interested in politics.

“I always wanted to get in politics because of my grandaddy,” Brooks said.

“Especially during election time, people (were) coming to the house constantly.

My grandaddy would sit down there and they would talk politics. I would sit there as a kid amazed,” Brooks said about the

Officers raid Selmer Citgo for ‘fake weed’ Second such raid at gas station since 2011

A SIGN OF THE TIMES?

NEXT WEEK MCHS BIDS FAREWELL TO BELOVED PRINCIPAL McNairy Central High School’s Principal Cecil Stroup has announced plans to retire from the school at the end of this school year.

Read next week’s Independent Appeal for full coverage of this story and reactions from students, parents and community members.

The owner of a Selmer gas station is in hot water again following a raid at his store on April 26. Arif Abdo Almudhala, 43, was arrested on three felony counts of distribution of salvia divinorum (synthetic cannabinoids) better known as “fake weed,” and felony possession and distribution of drug paraphernalia after the McNairy County Narcotics Unit conducted a search warrant at his store, the Selmer Flash Market Citgo located at 152 East Court Ave. in Selmer.

According to a release from Lt. Brad Johnson of the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department, Almudhala’s store was the center of the ongoing investigation.

During the raid, approximately 45 illegal items were seized, including multiple bottles of the illegal “fake weed” $3,641 in US currency and a 2009 Acura.

Johnson was listed as the arresting officer with Inv. James Frazier, Asst. Chief Kim Holley, and Inv. Jamie Lowrance assisting.

Members from both the McNairy County Sheriff’s Office and the Selmer Police Department assisted in the case.

Almudhala faced similar charges in 2012 following a November 2011 raid at his station.

In 2012, Almudhala, owner of the Selmer Citgo, settled those charges after paying a $500 fine and court costs for violating Tennessee Code Annotated 39-17-438, which prohibits the manufacture, production, distribution or possession of synthetic cannabinoids (marijuana), according to Staff Photo by Christen Coulon the McNairy County Court Clerk’s office at Officers seize alleged synthetic cannabinoids in a November 2011 raid at the Selmer that time.

Three vehicle wreck in Michie injures woman

Staff Photo by Jeff Whitten and Stephanie Parsons

Joyce Shadburn, 61, of Corinth, Miss., was injured in a three-car crash at Michie last Thursday. Shadburn was a passenger in a blue 2003 Ford pickup driven by Mike Wade Shadburn, 49, also of Corinth. Shadburn was stopped at a stop sign on Pleasant Site Road and Highway 57, according to a Tennessee Electronic Traffic Report provided by the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Shadburn then attempted to cross Highway 57, when his vehicle hit a 2006 white GMC pickup, driven by Terry Wayne Henson, 43, of Michie, who was traveling west on 57. Henson’s pickup then hit a beige 2004 Ford sports utility vehicle, driven by Debbie Butler, 54, of Ramer, who was traveling east on 57. Joyce Shadburn was transported to Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth for medical treatment. Magnolia told the Independent Appeal Monday Joyce Shadburn was not in the hospital. Trooper Andrew Naylor responded to the accident.

80 years of TVA: The engine that powers the South

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

May 18 marks the 80th anniversary of the passage of the TVA Act by Congress, and this year also marks the 75th anniversary of the Pickwick Dam. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had asked Congress to create a corporation with the power of a government agency but with the initiative and flexibility of private enterprise.

TVA really originated with the purchase of land surrounding the Tennessee River at Muscle Shoals, Ala. in 1916 for the purpose of building a dam that would produce the electricity to power an explosives plant for World War I, but the war ended without the dam being built.

In subsequent years, some, such as Presidents Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover wanted to return the land to private hands, but they were opposed by others, like Sen. George W. Norris of Nebraska.

Like the rest of rural America, the Tennessee Valley was already disadvantaged and had been devastated by the farm depression of the 1920s and the Great Depression. Farmland had been eroded and depleted, causing falling crop yields and farm income. The best timber had also been cut.

TVA developed fertilizers, taught farmers how to improve crop yields, helped replant forests, controlled forest fires and improved fish and wildlife habitats.

The most dramatic way TVA

changed the region was by making electricity widely available in the river valley. In the 1930s, 90 percent of urban dwellers had electricity, but only 10 percent of people who lived in rural areas did. By 1941, TVA had already become the largest electricity producer in the United States.

During World War II, our country needed aluminum to build combat planes. Because the aluminum plants needed electricity, TVA undertook the largest hydopower construction program ever undertaken in the country. At its peak in 1942, 12 hydroelectric projects and a steam plant were under construction, employing 28,000 people.

By the end of the war, TVA had completed a 650-mile navigation channel the length of the river.

In the 1950s, demand for electricity was outstripping TVA’s capacity and funds for building more coal-fired power plants were blocked in Congress. TVA sought the ability to issue bonds to finance this expansion in capacity and Congress passed legislation in 1959 making TVA self-financing.

The 1960s brought unprecedented prosperity and low electricity rates. TVA brought larger, more efficient generating units online and began building nuclear power plants.

The energy crisis and inflation of the 1970s led to a 500 percent increase in the cost of electricity in the Tennessee Valley. Dropping energy demand, rising construction costs and the atmosphere of caution after the accident at the Three

sion, which means the case would be dismissed upon payment of the fine, court costs and refraining from such activity in the future.

The case was dismissed in March 2012. Under the 2012 agreement, half of the $3,000 in cash, which was seized in the raid, was returned to Almudhala.

In 2012, Almudhala told the Independent Appeal that he did not believe that the substances taken in the first raid were illegal at that time under Tennessee law.

This photo taken in 1935 shows the construction on the Pickwick Dam. Next week marks the 80th anniversary of the TVA Act. Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, led TVA to cancel several nuclear plants.

In the 1990s, TVA underwent restructuring. It cut its costs by $800 million a year, its workforce by half, while still increasing generating capacity. It stopped building nuclear power plants. Under its clean-air strategy, TVA’s plants cut nitrogen oxide emissions from coal-fired plants by about 170,000 tons a year. It invested $600 million to help states and cities in the area meet more stringent air-quality standards.

Today, TVA is the largest public power company with a generating capacity of nearly 32,000 megawatts. It has 17,000 miles of transmission lines. One hundred fifty eight locally owned distributors of TVA Power, such as Pickwick Electric Cooperative, deliver power to 8.5 million residents.

Historically, Democrats such as

When contacted last Monday, Almudhala refused to comment on the latest round of charges.

These drugs were made illegal under state law in 2010 and declared a “drug of concern” by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

They typically consist of a benign plant material coated with a synthetic cannibinoid compound, designed to mimic the effect of marijuana. These compounds are chemically similar to THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

However, anecdotal evidence from law enforcement and medical personnel suggest that these synthetic drugs are more harmful than

Roosevelt have favored TVA, while Republicans, such as Coolidge, Hoover and Arizona Sen. and 1964 presidential nominee Barry Goldwater, who proposed selling it, have opposed it, but in a recent role reversal of the parties, Democratic Pres. Barack Obama has proposed studying the possibility of privatizing TVA in order to reduce the deficit, while Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who represents McNairy and other counties in the Seventh Congressional District, told a recent town meeting in Selmer that she opposes selling TVA.

the real thing.

McNairy County Sheriff Guy Buck said at the time of the original raids that this substance is more harmful than marijuana because while marijuana is a naturally occurring substance, the synthetic product is soaked in chemicals.

“This is a plant material that is soaked in chemicals and God knows what else. The high is more intense, more hallucinations, more along the lines of LSD and PCP,” Buck said at the time of the 2011 raids.

These products have been sold under the brand names of White Widow and Tokin, and a container typically sells for $15-$20.

summers spent with his grandfather in Masseyville, Tenn.

One Saturday, Brooks went with his grandfather to Henderson, Tenn.

“There was a fellow standing with a microphone on the back of a truck speaking,” Brooks remembered about a time when he was seven or eight years old.

Brooks’ grandfather told him to get on his shoulders in order to shake the man’s hand.

“This is a good man. I guarantee you he will shake your hand,” Brook’s grandfather told him.

“He stuck his hand out and said, ‘Young man, I’m Frank Clement. (He was) just a really vibrant man. That kind of made an impact on me,” Brooks recalled.

Clement served ten years as Governor of Tennessee, the longest of any in nearly two centuries.

As he has in past town meetings, Brooks spoke about taxes, schools and economic development.

A moment of levity occurred when, in response to a question about whether or how much a new wheel tax should be, Bethel Police Chief T. E. “Pee Wee” Sowell said he had five cars in his family.

“You’re the exception, Pee Wee,” the Mayor retorted.

“That’s the fairest tax the county ever passed and I’ll soon be 18 years old,” Sowell, who has been in law enforcement for 50 years, joked.

Mayor Kay Cox explained that the citizens of Bethel would pay the wheel tax, but none of the money would go for city streets.

“We don’t get anything to help us on our roads and I don’t think that’s fair. I think if it’s going to be on the county roads, it ought to be on the whole county, not just outside the city limits or take that much off our tax,” Cox said.

Jesus Cares to hold Grand Opening in Adamsville

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

Jesus Cares newest thrift store location will be holding its Grand Opening celebration in Adamsville at 416 W. Main St. this Saturday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

The store opened several weeks ago, and it has already benefited the community support in the Adamsville area.

“It’s going good. We are really excited about this store. We’ve had such good support from the community. People are bringing stuff in,” said store manager Carolyn Woods.

Woods also said that families from the Adamsville area have told her the store is so convenient.

Saturday’s grand opening will feature various snacks such as hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers and cold drinks will be for sale along with their large selection of clothing, furniture and household items.

Jesus Cares President Jim Gray encouraged members of the community to come out to celebrate the opening and find a great deal on all of the items they offer.

“Come out and join the fun,” Gray said.

Monies for this store will be dedicated to raising funds for transitional housing for McNairy County.

“The housing will be designed to shelter families in transition who find themselves without housing,” Gray said.

It is by no means a permanent solution, Gray said.

The families who participate will have to step up and learn to help themselves. While in the housing, the families will have to follow certain rules like gender separated bedrooms, and while they are there, they will have to come up with options to make it on their own when they leave the transitional housing. Gray said that Jesus Cares will teach them to fish, but ultimately they will have to fish for themselves.

Woods and Gray reminded consumers that both the Selmer and Adamsville thrift stores are open to everyone and that it is a great place to find good deals on quality products.

The new store in Adamsville will be larger than the store in Selmer and will be able to offer a wider selection of products including a room with home furnishings.

Both stores are completely run by volunteers, and more than 14 volunteers have signed on to help run the Adamsville store so far.

Store hours at the Adamsville location are 10 a.m.5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday. The store is closed Wednesday and Sunday.

As always, monetary and item donations are accepted during business hours at either location. For more information about this store or to make donations to Jesus Cares call (731) 632-3388.

Bethel Springs resident competes in West Tennessee Idol

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

Bethel Springs business owner/hairstylist Amanda Kate Smith recently auditioned for the West TN Idol competition, held by local radio station WYN 106.9, and along with 19 other contestants, qualified to advance to Round 2.

Round 2 is a “radio round” and will begin Monday, May 6.

During this round, two contestants will be chosen daily to compete against one another.

Their songs will be played on the radio at set times throughout the day, and it will be up to the listeners to vote on which contestant advances to the finals. Listeners may call in and vote by phone at the time contestants are aired or may vote online at any time each day a new contestant is broadcasted.

Smith’s song, which was recorded on May 1, was Julie Roberts’ “Break Down Here.”

The song aired before press time on Tuesday and results are not yet available, however, if Smith is voted into the top 10, she will be in a “live round” held June 16 at the Ned in Jackson, Tenn.

One winner will be chosen at the close of the competition that day to represent WYN

106.9 as the 2013 West Tennessee Idol and will also advance to perform/compete at the national level.

Smith said that he is hopeful about her chances of making it to the top 10 round in Jackson and that her family, friends and customers have been very supportive.

“I have been singing since I was in junior high and have been singing in church since then,” Smith said. “I sing mostly county music.”

Smith said that her favorite artist was Miranda Lambert and her favorite song is “Strawberry Wine.”

While participating in one of five qualifying rounds, Smith participated against 36 other singers. Only four people from each qualifier are chosen.

“It was kind of surreal that someone like that from a small town would be chosen,” Smith said.

Smith qualified with the song “Picture” by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock. She said that the audience seemed to like the song when she performed it.

Smith said that this is the second time she has participated in the competition. In 2006 she made it to the top 10 round.

This year she hopes to make it further.

Animal Shelter Friends launches in county group to meet May 20, choose officers

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

The newly formed McNairy County Animal Shelter Friends will hold an organizational meeting May 20 at 6 p.m. at the Selmer Community Center. The group is looking to select officers and make progress in finding a lasting solution to the problem of stray and unwanted animals in McNairy County.

The group previously met on April 29 and while the meeting was a success, Sally Lawhon, organizer for the ASF, said that she would like to see greater participation from the community.

Many topics were discussed during the previous meeting, and the need for election of officers was at the top of the list.

“We will need officers to keep the group moving forward,” Lawhon said.

“Please step up to the plate and volunteer your services.”

The group is also looking at options for fundraisers.

“We talked about Dog Days in the Park, which will be Oct. 5,” Lawhon said. “This event always raises a good deal of money for the Spay/Neuter program.”

Lawhon said that the group will need to have a steady stream of revenue to do the most good.

The group has also been considering a fundraising idea presented by Paul and Brenda Pickens.

“Paul showed us pictures of road signs that are in Humphreys County supporting the spay and neuter program,” Lawhon said. “The group all agreed it would be a wonderful first project to start off with. We will get information on pricing of the signs and have a fundraising event to pay for the project. We will then see how many signs we can place in the county.”

In addition, Lawhon said that they have created greeting cards to sell to help raise additional funds.

Lawhon said that going forward, Cheryl Dawson, the owner of 4 My Pets grooming in Selmer, has agreed to take the helm as the group’s president.

She said that the group’s ultimate goal is to have a functional animal shelter within the county, but the group plans to begin with community outreach projects, as well as other services on a smaller scale.

“We also discussed forming a group who will present information to the local school children in the next school year,” Lawhon said. “All volunteers for this project can post on the McNairy Animal Shelter Group. Anyone can ‘like’ and join the McNairy County Animal Shelter Friends facebook page.”

Lawhon encouraged the community to come out and become a founding member of this important organization.

“We are off to a great start and hope to see many new faces at the next meeting on May 20,” Lawhon said.

The Bethel Board of Aldermen approved an ordinance allowing Sunday beer sales in the city limits at its meeting last Monday.

The vote, to approve the ordinance on second reading, was 3-2, with Vice-Mayor Shirley Williams, joined

by Aldermen Gary Bizzell, Jr. and Sherrie Smith voting yes. Mayor Kay Cox and Alderman John Woods voted no.

The ordinance will become law upon the Mayor’s signature.

Several members of the audience were visibly unhappy.

One woman presented a petition with 50 signatures in opposition to the ordinance from people living within the city limits.

She said that no one she asked refused to sign the petition, though she did not go to every house in Bethel.

“The citizens of Bethel do not want it,” she added.

“It says in the Bible to honor the Sabbath day and keep it holy,” another audience member said.

“They’ve got Monday through Saturday to buy beer.

Is six days not enough?” an audience member asked.

“The revenue is what we are looking at,” Bizzell replied.

“You’re going to go against God’s word for the almighty dollar?” a member audience member asked rhetorically.

Bizzell argued that cigarettes hurt your body, thus being against God’s word, but are nevertheless sold on Sunday.

In other news from the meeting, former Mayor and Disaster Recovery Coordinator Norma Smith was discharged by the board of any role as liason with the city.

Williams was unhappy that Smith did not attend town meetings.

“Norma needs to come to these meetings if she’s going to represent the town. We can’t deal with somebody who’s out representing the town when we don’t know what they’re doing,” Williams said.

“We asked her, but she’s not going to,” Cox said.

“You don’t need someone representing the town who can’t come and report to the town,” Williams said.

“She said she’s not representing the town and the town’s money is not involved,” Cox said.

Smith also works with the United Methodist Committee on Relief and the Baptist Convention.

Cox said she did not appoint Smith to represent the town.

“She called me and asked me if she could be a liason, which to me, a liason is information going from one place to another. She asked me if she could do that over the volunteer part and I said, ‘Yes, as far as I was concerned,’” Cox said.

“She said that she is not going to come down here and be bawled out and (be) told how bad a job she is doing,” Cox added.

“She’s giving out information that reflects on this town. Something needs to be done about that,” Williams said.

“I’ll call her and tell her what you just said, and the board agrees, I guess,” Cox said.

“People were being told to come here and apply for help. Several work orders were turned in from here and Norma was here, physically at one time,” Williams said.

All members of the board voted for this motion, except the Mayor, who passed.

“I’m right in the middle of this,” Cox said.

Mcnairy voices Would you favor a sales tax on internet purchases? Why or why not?

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Federalism, along with checks and balances/ separation of powers, is among a small number of structural factors that are the most likely to come up in a wide variety of constitutional issues.

A recent example from our pages is when the McNairy County Commission discussed the Second Amendment Resolution.

The Founding Fathers were afraid that the concentration of power would lead to tyranny as it had often done in history. They designed the federal government in such a way that the three branches, the executive, the legislative and judicial, were independent of each other in some ways (separation of powers) but in some ways placed limits on the exercise of power by the others (checks and balances).

Tonya Spence (Scotts Hill):

Wanda Johnson (Adamsville):

Karen Engle (Adamsville):

Scottie Hilliard (Adamsville):

Erin Atwood (Adamsville):

Sharon Hays (Adamsville):

“No. They’re taxing us and they won’t pay tax on it. We have individuals selling on Ebay.”

“When you go to the store and purchase stuff, you pay sales tax. What’s the difference?”

“I don’t use the internet that much. No, because the people who do use the internet pay enough taxes as it is. It also depends on what the money will be used for.”

“My opinion is you buy it on the internet, you have no guarantee of stuff that you buy on the internet, so I don’t think it’s right to charge taxes on it.

You’re buying it wholesale and I think that’s what it should be. If you pay taxes, you go into a store and buy it.”

“It depends on what it is. If it’s a major corporation...then go ahead. They’re already trying to give you as much tax as possible...

Everybody’s on the internet, if they don’t charge it, everybody’s going to leave the mom and pop shops and the little in-town stores and just get it on the internet.”

“Maybe, because sometimes it’s cheaper on the internet than it is here and sometimes it’s outrageous.”

McNairy Voices is a new feature in the Independent Appeal highlighting the opinions of average citizens about the issues that affect the citizens of McNairy County, the state of Tennessee, and the United States as a whole. The participants are randomly selected on the streets of the county. Their viewpoints are not necessarily that of the Independent Appeal.

“Let ambition check ambition,” was the way James Madison, who is called the Father of the Constitution, because he wrote one of the draft constitutions that was considered by the Constitutional Convention and because of his key role in brokering compromises among the various constitutional proposals, put it.

Another structural counterweight against the power of the federal government, as a whole, is the states. The role that states play in our country is relatively unique in the world. One way is that the states existed before the national government. The second is that they are independent legal entities, instead of just being an arm of the federal government.

The role of the states is codified in the Constitution in the Tenth Amendment, which states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited it by the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”

Though this amendment was proposed by Madison as part of the Bill of Rights, he was not entirely convinced that it was necessary, though he thought it harmless.

The original strategy for restraining the power of the federal government was through giving it only specific powers, while leaving the rest to the states or the people. This amendment just restates this principle.

The states have attempted to nullify, or invalidate, federal laws that they believe are unconstitutional, on occasion. This theory has been rejected by the Supreme Court because of the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, which says that federal law is superior to state law.

The Supremacy Clause is the second clause of Article VI. It says: “The Constitution and Laws of the United States, which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”

In a famous occasion, South Carolina attempted to nullify the Tariff of 1828 and the Tariff of 1832.

President Andrew Jackson rejected this action, vowing to enforce federal law by force of arms if necessary.

The powers given to the federal government have been expanded over time. The federal government often influences the behavior of the states through the use of federal funding given to states.

The federal government gets this power from what is called the taxing and spending clause.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 states: “The Congress shall have the Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises to pay the Debts and to provide for the common Defence and general welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.”

One example is the speed limit. It is 55, or 65 miles per hour in some places, because the federal government will only give states highway funds if they set a speed limit below where the federal government wants it to be.

Other examples are unemployment benefits and Medicaid (or TennCare in our state), which are jointly funded by the federal and state governments and administered by the states.

There are also all kinds of funding mandates for schools.

Over the past couple of decades, the U. S. Supreme Court has attempted to limit the power of the federal government and to put some teeth back in federalism. One example, relevant to the gun control debate that is now going on and the resolution that the county commission considered, is the high court held that it was unconstitutional for the federal government to require state and local law enforcement officials to conduct background checks on people attempting to purchase a handgun. This was done in the case of Printz v. U. S.

Letter to the editor

Congress failed citizens by refusing to vote Congress slaughtered our Democracy. On the gun control issue they did not even allow a vote on background checks. If you were for it they strung you up and if you were against it, they strung you up. This is an extreme denial of the American people’s rights. They took away the basic right we have always had- the same one that founded this country. Congress has VOTED AGAINST EVERY PERSON living in the USA because they could not allow a vote on this important lifegiving issue. Shame, shame, shame.

McNairy County Health Care

Nurses Week

By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor

I know we now have lots of days to celebrate and there seems to be a date for everything from secretary to bosses day. Whatever your job, there is probably a day set aside for you. I am not sure who or whom came up with all these days but I see nothing wrong with someone telling you what a great job you are doing.

Well it is nurse’s week and I would like to tell you about some of the best I have ever known. A nurse is a person who has given her best to take care of the people placed in her care.

I have seen lots of nurses who have given up breaks, lunch time, holidays and time with their family to provide care for that person in their care. I had someone ask me one day, “Do you have to work on Christmas Day?” Well, I am afraid there are people who visit the ER every day. Some of my busy days have been on holidays. When I came to work at McNairy County Health Care Center I soon learned that in Nursing Home Care nurses take on a whole new way to look at things.

The nurses who work in our home, and I am sure most of the other long term care homes, not only provide for their patients but they become family. A lot of the folks placed in our care get very attached to their

favorite nurse and as far as they are concerned they become family. We spend a lot of time with the folks who we care for everyday.

This past week we had a skill fair. You see in nursing, learning never ends.

There is always new procedures: a new way to do something better. We had several guest speakers who talked to our nurses about the many new things going on in medicine. Clay Cooper, our pharmacist from Am pharm, was on hand to talk to us about medications and the safe practice of giving those medications. Tracey, our registered dietician, was there to talk to us about the importance of hydration. Page, Amanda and Thomas had so much to offer us about good practice in medications. One of the fun things that day was when Airvac landed and one of the flight nurses, Gary Johnson, talked to us about diabetes. I am sure in whatever job you are in there is always something

new or a better way to do what you do every day.

Whatever your passion in life or the job you do, I hope you love this as well as our nurses love theirs.

I could tell you about all the great nurses I work with who have influenced my life and the way I do my job. Joann Carder would be at the top of my list along with Matt King. From both of them I learned compassion. Ruth Johnson always spoke with a soft voice and a smile. Carolyn Forsythe was, and is, a great charge nurse and leader. Pollyanna Justice always laughed at herself and everyone around her. Then there are the nurses I work with today: Fancy Nancy can always get a smile from all her residents. Pam Perkins and Debra Norwood try

to make my job easier on those days when I forget to go to lunch. Debra will offer to bring me something to eat. Megan and Thea are my “at work” children.

Sara Hill and Pam Elam keep me on my toes with all their questions. When it is time for me to go home I know the patients will be cared for by all the late shift nurses: Kris, Pat, Ms. Judy, and Morgan. We are here to make sure the folks in our care receive the best possible care.

So, on this week for nurses, I want to thank everyone of them that I have had the privilege of knowing and working with. I can assure you I am not the best nurse around but I sure work with some that I think are pretty special.

Until next time.

It’s spring ... time to get ready for canning season

By Schancey S. Chapman McNairy County UT Extension

Canning season is almost here!

You are doing everything perfectly to prepare: from carefully tending your fruits and vegetables in the garden; to replacing worn out equipment; and, getting new recipes from your local Extension office.

Now, when it’s time to start canning, you want to make sure you are doing so properly.

There are two safe ways of canning, depending on the type of foods being canned. These are the boilingwater canner method and the pressure canner method.

The boiling-water-bath method is safe for fruits, tomatoes, pickles; as well as jam, jellies and other preserves. Tomatoes and figs have a pH value close to the 4.6 borderline.

Acid in the form of lemon juice, or citric acid, must be added to them in order to safely can them in a boiling-water canner.

Pressure canning is the only safe method of canning vegetables, meat, poultry and seafood. These foods have a lower pH and have to be canned at a higher temperature that only a pressure canner can reach. Canning these items in a water bath could present a very real risk of botulism. The bacterium Clostridium botulinum is destroyed in low-acid foods when

they are processed at the correct time and pressure in pressure canners.

Accurate pressure in a pressure canner is also essential when it comes to canning time. Pressure canner dial gauges should be tested for accuracy each year. Only the lid is needed for testing. New canners and new gauges should also be tested. There is no charge for testing dial gauges, and it only takes a few minutes. If you have a dial gauge and would like to have it tested bring it by the Extension Office, 703 Industrial Park Road in Selmer. You can call to reserve a time at 645-3598. Pressure canners with weighted gauges do not need to be tested.

Canning and freezing publications are also available to consumers free of charge through the Extension Service. For more information or questions regarding food preservation call 645-3598.

McNairy County Extension offers programs in agriculture and natural resources, 4-H youth development, family and consumer sciences, and resource development. The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and McNairy County governments are cooperating to bring the people of the county various programs and services.

Cardinals survive Lions

By Brian Azevedo

untimely hits and a couple of walks had the Cardinals in a 7-2 hole after the fourth inning.

After the ball was handed over to Josh Chappell on the mound and he put up a couple of zeros on the board, the Cardinals’ offense chipped away at the Mustang lead.

With a big spark from Jacob Wallis and his three RBI effort, the Cardinals scored two runs in the fifth and three in the sixth to tie the game going into the final frame.

In the top of the seventh, Chappell was unable to put up the one last zero he needed. The Mustangs pushed across two hard earned runs in the seventh and took a 9-7 lead into the bottom of the seventh when it was do or die for the Cardinals.

Adamsville could not find the offense they needed. They were held scoreless in the final inning and took their first loss of the district tournament, making it a win or go home situation the rest of the way.

The Cardinals had to face elimination against the Lions from Trinity Christian, after losing their first round match-up against the Madison Mustangs.

Adamsville 9 Trinity Christian Academy 4

The Cardinals were facing elimination and the end of their season when they took the field against Trinity Christian in their second match-up of the district tournament.

The Cardinals were in a do or die situation and they turned to their two seniors, John Reed Odom and Josh Chappell, to lead them to a win.

Jumping out quick, the offense scored early and often, built a lead over the Lions, and never let go. The Cardinals were able to hang on for the big five run win and extended their season by at least one more game.

Tennessee Titans visit AES

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

T-rac shows off the “Play 60” sign as the Titans and the NFL look to get kids back into healthy habits.

The Tennessee Titans caravan made a stop at Adamsville Elementary School last Thursday and focused on keeping kids healthy.

The Titans have partnered up with the Tennessee State Parks and have been presenting this program to kids all around the state. The program focuses on the National Football League’s “Play 60” program, and with help from local park rangers, helps to show kids ways to stay healthy and fit.

The program kicked off with a demonstration from the park rangers that included live entertainment from a hawk and a bald eagle that helped show the students some of the beauty of nature.

After a short appearance from Titans defensive end Kamerion Wimbley, the students were treated to the real star of the show, T-Rac the popular Titans mascot.

T-Rac spent his time and shenanigans teachings the kids different ways to get out and play and how to be healthy, all while studying and keeping good grades in school. His hysterical rants and side splitting skits helped keep the students’ attention as they saw and hopefully understood the message of “Play 60,” which is to get outside and stay fit.

The Tennessee Titans and the Tennessee State Parks are making an effort, along with the NFL, to get kids more active and to create a healthier America. This stop just goes to show the great things that the organizations are doing and gave the kids a great time out of class.

Lady Cardinals shutout Mustangs

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writers

The Lady Cardinals made the trip to Jackson, Tenn., for one of their final district matches of the season with the Mustangs.

Adamsville 8 Madison 0

The game started out as a defensive one when both starting pitchers came in and put up zeros in the first three innings. Parker Davis was in the circle for the Lady Cards, and she had all of her pitches working.

Once in the top of the fourth inning, the Lady Cards’ offense broke open and ended the scoreless streak. Taylor Hutton, Lilly Webb and the rest of the offense managed to put three runs on the board in the fourth, two in the fifth and three again in the top of the sixth, inning giving themselves the huge eight to nothing lead.

Eight was plenty for Davis, who was still throwing beautifully on the mound and carried her shutout into the bottom of the seventh inning. Davis shut the door on the Mustangs, allowing only one hit in her seven innings of work, struck out 12 and helped carry her team to a huge district win.

Bobcats get hot at the right time

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Bobcats got off to a good start as they host the District 14-AA Tournament. McNairy took a win from South Side and Liberty high schools, both of Jackson, Tenn.

McNairy Central South Side

2 1

It was a rough beginning for the Bobcats as the bats were cold against the tough Hawk pitching.

On the mound for the Bobcats, Chase Smith was just as effective. Smith gave up a run early in the bottom of the third but then continued to shut down the Hawks, recording four strikeouts in his seven innings of work.

As the pitcher’s duel continued, time was running out for the Bobcats, until Marcus Nash and Jonathan Nixon came to the plate and each drove in a run to take the 2-1 lead going into the bottom of the seventh inning.

Smith had all the run support he needed in this contest, as he again shut down on the Hawks and kept them off the scoreboard, staying unbeaten in the tournament.

The Bobcats opened their 2013 district tournament against the Liberty Crusaders. With Matt Chandler on the hill for the Bobcats, the Crusaders jumped out to an early 6-2 lead after scoring five runs in the top of the second inning.

The Cats had some work to do to get back in the game, and the bats got it done. Marcus Nash, Clay Dancer and the rest of the Bobcats’ offense began to chip away at the Crusader lead and scored one run in the bottom of the second and three in the bottom of the third to tie the game at 6-6.

Chandler settled in on the mound after the second inning and continued on to shut down the Crusaders’ offense. The Cats gave Chandler the lead going into the top of the seventh after scoring the go ahead run, and he shut the door on the Crusaders.

Chandler came away with the first win of the tournament and gave the Bobcats momentum moving forward.

Lady Cats fall to South Side Bobcats take fourth in district

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Lady Hawks from South Side High School in Jackson, Tenn., made the trip to McNairy Central as the Lady Cats hosted a double header against the district rivals.

South Side McNairy Central

15 10

There were plenty of runs scored from both teams in the first of the two games, as both offenses fired away.

After the Lady Hawks jumped out to an early 3-0 in the first inning, the Lady Cats answered back. Laralee Williams, who was perfect at the plate, and Macee Taylor set the offense off, and the Lady Cats pushed two runs across in the first inning then four in the second to take a 6-3 lead going into the third inning.

After putting up a zero in the second, starting pitcher Kelly Beth Ernest was unable to keep the Lady Hawks down and gave up four runs in the third and fourth innings.

The Lady Cats’ bats were still determined to keep them in this game. Key base running and timely hits allowed the Cats to score two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings, but going into the bottom of the seventh, they found themselves in a five run hole, down 15-10.

Although not from lack of effort, the Lady Cats could not get the five runs they needed across, and they fell in the first game to the Lady Hawks.

Kelly Beth Ernest again was in the circle for the Lady Cats and just did not have her best stuff. Ernest recored two strike outs in her three innings of work but got roughed up for seven runs off of ten hits. Kelly Beth handed the ball over to Allison Dillon in the fourth, and maybe the change made it hard for the South Side hitters.

Dillon pitched well, shutting down the Hawks’ bats, but she was unable to get any run support as the Lady Cats’ offense was still cold. Dillon, along with Laralee Williams, were the only two Lady Cats to record a base hit in the contest, and neither were able to come around and score.

The Lady Cats will try and put the losses behind them and focus on their play in the oncoming district tournament in Chester County.

McNairy Central hosted Chester County in their final soccer match of the season last Thursday. The match would determine which team would place third in the district.

Though MCHS fought hard, they were unable to take the win and finished the season in fourth place.

McNairy Central Adamsville

McNairy Central boys soccer team has fought hard and played well in the last half of the season which ended with an overall record of 6-7-1.

Last Thursday’s game between the Bobcats and the Eagles made the second time the two teams faced off on the field. After a loss to Chester County early in the season, the Bobcats were looking for a win against their rival.

The Bobcats were slow to score against the Eagles, which allowed their opponent to gain the lead. At the end of the first half MCHS was down by three, 4-1.

Chester County outmaneuvered McNairy Central in offensive plays and was quick to take advantage.

Allan Bright was quick on the defensive end, which helped the Cats to take the offense, but that was not enough to shave off the four point lead Chester County had gained.

The Bobcats ended their final gain with a disappointing loss against the Eagles, final score 5-1.

Last Tuesday at the Selmer City Park, the Bobcats matched up with the Cardinals for a second time. The Cats prevailed over the Cards with a final score of 2-0.

In one of their last games of the season, the Bobcats were slow to take the lead.

In their previous matches, the Bobcats pounced early in the game. This was not the case Tuesday. The Bobcats and the Cards failed to score by the end of the first half, leaving the score 0-0.

Coach Cook said, “ We honestly did not play very well. I think that we were still a bit worn down from the lone match yesterday.

Adamsville has some good young players.

They have improved and will be a team to watch in the future. DZ Robinson returned to the team yesterday after breaking his collarbone in the first Adamsville match. To his credit, the senior attended nearly every practice and game despite the fact of being told he wouldn’t heal in time to play the season.”

Joey Sanders drove the ball past AHS defenders and scored for the Bobcats in the second half of the match, which gained the Bobcats the lead.

Joyner Pollard made the final goal of the game with a penalty kick.

The game between McNairy Central and Adamsville ended with a final score, 2-0 Bobcats.

McNairy Central Scotts Hill

2 2

Last Monday the McNairy Central boys soccer team invited Scotts Hill to the Bobcats’ den. The match between the Bobcats and the Lions ended after going into double overtime with a tie 2-2, leaving MCHS with an overall record of 5-6-1.

MCHS was quick to take the lead in the match against Scotts Hill and closed the first half, 2-0 Bobcats.

Jake Williams had two successful shots that flew by the opposing team’s goalie for the Bobcats.

Isaac Cagle broke the MCHS record for defensive stops during the match against Scotts Hill. The prior record held for defensive stops was 37, which Cagle broke with an amazing 48.

Coach Cook said, “Jake Williams had a beautiful shot from deep to take the half.

Tyler Henry was sent to the ER after exiting the game with a heroic save in sudden death. His head centered the goal post, and he had a large gash from his eyebrow to his forehead. Scotts Hill was able to tie the game with a pair of free shots at the end of the second half. We fought to the finish, and we will keep fighting every game.”

MCHS remained tied with the Lions 2-2, which sent the game into double overtime.

With both teams tied going into overtime, the Bobcats never gained the lead again and ended the match tied 2-2.

Lady Cats claw Lady Tigers

By Brian Azevedo Sports Writer

The Lady Bobcats played host to the Lady Tigers from Bolivar, Tenn., and were able to come away with the much needed district win.

McNairy Central 11 Bolivar Central 01

McNairy wasted no time getting on the board early in the first inning when Kelly Beth Ernest and the top of the Bobcat lineup jumped on the Lady Tigers. The Bobcats pushed three runs across in the first inning and followed that with a five run performance in the second, giving the Lady Cats a huge lead.

Ernest, who again got the call on the rubber for the Lady Cats, had the support she needed. While pitching with a lead, Ernest was able to hold the Lady Tigers to one run on three hits by letting her defense work behind her, and

recorded eight strike outs of her own.

The McNairy offense would later on score one more run in the bottom of the fifth, then two in the sixth, to seal the win against the Lady Tigers. The Lady Bobcats will be going into their district tournament in Chester County this week and hope to carry this momentum along with them.

Coaches include Shane Teague, Darwin Coleson, and Greg Worthey, who stated to the Independent Appeal how proud they were of the team. Players include Stone Teague, Ben Worthey, Peyton Childers, Parker Childers, Anthony White, Peyton Lee, Trevor Wilson, Peyton Burrow, Nick Heath, Casey Coleson, Grant McMahan, and Bradley Suggs.

Lady Cards fall to Lady Lions

The Lady Cardinals made the trip to Jackson, Tenn., to play their district tournament first round against the Lady Lions of Trinity Christian Academy.

Taylor Hutton comes away with a huge base hit against the TCA Lady Lions.

The Lady Cards got out to a slow start on offense as the bats were cold against the tough TCA pitching.

With Gabby Morris in the circle, the Lady Cards held the game close. Morris struggled at times, and with a few mistakes in the field, the Lady Lions were able to take an early lead.

However, Morris got the run support she needed when the Lady Cards

rallied to score four runs in the top of the fifth inning.

Unfortunately for the Lady Cards, with Parker Davis now on the rubber, the Lady Lions were able to put together a rally of their own and score what would be the winning run in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Although Olivia Johnson battled for the Cards to stay alive in the seventh, the Lady Lions were too much and the Lady Cards could not pull out the win.

Greer bids farewell after 39 years Submitted Article Ramer Elementary School

As the school year draws to an end, the faculty and staff of Michie School prepare to say goodbye to a beloved educator who has taught, guided, and mentored students for more than 39 years. Mary Greer, an educator who is known for her buoyant personality and a deep compassion for people, has decided to bring her official career as an educator to a close and retire at the end of the school year.

Greer was a member of the 1969 graduating class of Ramer School and she then received her Associates degree in Education from Jackson State Community College and her Bachelors of Science degree from the University of Tennessee at Martin. She went on to receive two Masters degrees in Educational Psychology and Counseling with a second in Special Education.

Working with children has always been at the center of Mary’s life. A native of Corinth, Miss., Greer has worked with the children in the Michie community, the Corinth community, and children as far away as Nassau, Bahamas where she frequented many summers.

Next Monday, Michie School will be hosting a community-wide reception in honor of Ms. Greer’s years of dedicated service to allow all members of the Michie community, former students, parents, and friends to come and express their appreciation for her service.

The reception will be from 4-6 p.m. in the Michie School cafeteria.

On May 25th the family of Mary Greer will be hosting a Retirement Tea and Musical in her honor at Little Zion M. B. Church in Corinth, MS beginning at 5 p.m..

Selmer Elementary begins Leader in Me program

School menus Elementary Schools

Submitted Photo

Linda Crump, Madine Nichols, Heather Ashe, Muriel Summers, Dr. Sondra Kiser, and Charlotte Brooks tour South Carolina “Leader in Me” schools in preparation of their launch of the program at Selmer Elementary School

By Dr. Sondra Kiser Submitted

Selmer Elementary School is beginning a new program in the 2013 – 2014 school year that is aimed at bringing out the potential leader in every student and bringing it out early. The program is called The Leader in Me. The Leader in Me is based on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People which was founded by Steven Covey.

In 1999, Principal Muriel Summers of AB Combs Magnet School in North Carolina, under the encouragement of Covey, decided to take Covey’s 7 Habits and teach them to her students throughout the school year.

Summers found by teaching the habits and promoting self-esteem in her students that student performance flourished to levels that had never been achieved at AB Combs. The school is already making preparations for the program.

All teachers have had an opportunity to tour other Leader in Me schools in Alabama or South Carolina.

There are currently only 5 Leader in Me schools in Tennessee. Selmer Elementary School will be the sixth in

Tennessee and the second in West Tennessee. Paris South Elementary in Hardin County implemented the program last year with their students. County officials in Hardin County have been very impressed by the program and plan to present it to state officials in Nashville this summer. All Leader in Me schools have the opportunity to become Lighthouse Schools.

Currently there are no Lighthouse Schools in Tennessee. Selmer Elementary hopes to become one of the first Lighthouse Schools in Tennessee.

The staff at Selmer Elementary will begin intensive training in the seven habits over the next two to three months. Trainers from Franklin Covey will be coming to Selmer Elementary and working with teachers to develop a plan of implementation for the program.

During visits to other Leader in Me schools, all staff members were impressed at the way they were greeted at each school by the students. Staff members were also impressed with the pride that students had in their school. It is the belief of Selmer Elementary that our students are as talented as any students in the country. Our aim is that we unlock the inborn talent of each student so that all students may be successful.

What happens to all those test scores AFTER the test? Who looks at the pile of information and makes sense of it?

Educators across the county are well-acquainted with data. These professionals know numbers, scores, and dates. Interventionists take test scores and make sense of them. They not only help teachers understand the scores, but they also identify students who need additional help to achieve at grade level.

Adamsville Elementary School’s interventionists are Mrs. Melinda Johnston and Mrs. Amy Seaton. They are assisted by Mrs. Brittney Williams and Mrs. Jennifer Burkeens.

Mrs. Melinda assists the teachers in grades 3-6 while Mrs. Amy assists the teachers in grades K-2.

The interventionists not only help administer the tests, but they also analyze the data. Teachers are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data available, so interventionists help them understand and use the acquired data. After the test session, the interventionists share the test scores with the teachers and try to offer new ideas on how to use the data.

Interventionists use Think Link and the DIBELS assessment to help monitor student progress. Test scores from Think Link can target the exact skills in reading and math in which a student needs to show improvement. DIBELS scores are used to assess reading skills.

Many students need a little extra help to understand a concept in order to be performing at their potential level. Students who might need a little extra help have the opportunity to get the help they need in a small group setting with an interventionist.

Interventionists go into the classroom on a daily basis to work with students in small groups on the skills they have not yet mastered. Students also have the opportunity to work with an interventionist during their lab time.

In response to intervention, students learn to set academic goals and take pride in their achievements. Student achievement is reflected in the end of the year test scores.

Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain To: All interested Agencies - Federal, State, and Local - Groups and Individuals This is to give notice that the City of Bethel Springs under CFR 24 Part 58 has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management, to determine the potential effect that its activity in the floodplain and wetland will have on the human environment for a Community Development Block Grant under B-10-DF-47-0001.

The proposed project includes the rehabilitation of the existing water treatment plant. These components have outlived their design life and need replacement. The project is being funded with CDBG grant funds from HUD. The size of the water treatment plant is approximately .5 acres. The plant is located within the 100 year floodplain associated with the Cypress Creek.

The proposed project is located at 4110 Main St. in Bethel Springs, McNairy County, Tennessee.

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

Written comments must be received by the City of Bethel Springs at the following address on or before May 23, 2013: City of Bethel Springs, 4066 Main St., Bethel Springs, TN 38315. Attention: Kay Cox, Mayor. The phone number is 731-934-7266. Comments may also be submitted or further information can be requested via email at bethelsprings4u@hotmail.com. A full description of the project may also be reviewed from 9AM to 4PM at the same address above.

McNairy Recycling Programs

Locals go green

By Amanda Lowrance Feature Writer

From igloos made of empty milk jugs to Mason jar lanterns, McNairy County and the City of Selmer have went green with its local recycling program.

“Every item that is recycled saves space in the landfill and saves another item from having to being made,” said Cindy Kennedy of McNairy County Solid Waste.

“There are many different ways to recycle. Reusing items is a perfect and cheap way to recycle.”

McNairy County started the recycling program in 2009 and the City of Selmer partnered with the county in 2011. There are now recycling trailers at Bethel Springs, Michie, Ramer Elementary Schools and McNairy Regional Hospital, McDonalds, Top of the River, Blockbuster, Precision Assembly and Connector Castings.

“The recycling program is growing each week,” said Kennedy, “and we are very pleased with all the residents and businesses that recycle.”

After receiving a grant, the county recycling center looks forward to having a newly built facility at the same location, which they plan to heat with used oil.

“Through the litter grant and recycling grant programs, McNairy County Solid Waste visits with schools and business to teach litter prevention and how to recycle, said Kennedy.

“We host several contest with the schools during the year and hope to add

even more in 2013/2014 school year.”

The recycling center is open to residents and business to drop off recycling on Wednesday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The City of Selmer runs a recycling route on Fridays of each week and is open to all residents and businesses within the Selmer City limits.

Recyclable items in-

clude paper, cardboard, metals, glass, plastic, and computers or small electronics.

Anyone interested in city recycling pick up on Friday can contact the City of Selmer Street and Sanitation at (731) 6457908 or for general information or how to learn more about recycling contact McNairy County Solid Waste at (731) 6455909.

Independent Appeal v Page 11B

Local retired cattleman inducted into SGBI Hall of Fame

By Sherry McCarter Teague Most people in this area know Gene McCarter or know of him and his family.

McCarter began his career at the age of 10-years-old when his dad bought him his first cow. After he sold his first steer, he had to use his own money to buy his cows to show. At that time, Leon Jones was the McNairy County Agent who helped him through these formative years, and during his high school years at Ramer High School, James Boucher was his Agricultural teacher. By showing cattle until high school, he obtained on the job experience. McCarter lived in McNairy County and graduated from Ramer High School. His mentor, Mr. Boucher, encouraged him to pursue his dreams.

After school McCarter married his high school sweetheart, Louise Patrick, in 1955, and lived in Memphis for a short time. After moving back to McNairy County, he worked for Kellogg Telephone Company for a short time and then worked for Security Bank for more than 10 years and farmed on the side on the family farm. He ran his own construction company for a short time until he decided he wanted to return to his passion the cattle business.

In 1978, he returned to the profession and pas-

sion he had as a young boy. He began working for Leland White, who owned White Cattle Company in Sanger, Texas, and Pecan Point Ranch in Oklahoma, where Gene was the manager for 10,000 acres and more than 3,000 female cows. In 1979, he moved to Mt. Pleasant, Texas, and worked at the McKellar Brahman Embryo Transplant Center.

Then in 1980, he began his career with Buddy Smith at Santa Services and Superior Cattle Sales, in Huntsville, Texas, and he began going on the show road with Santa Gertrudis cattle. In 1989, he moved back to Tennessee and worked with Wayne Jacks at Diamond J Farms in Fayetteville, Tenn., and continued to be on the road to show cattle. In 1991, He moved back to his home in McNairy County and started his own show cattle business, McCarter Cattle Services, and continued in the business that he loved fitting and showing Santa Gertrudis cattle, all over the United States, and he continued to do so until his retirement from the showing ring in 2008.

McCarter was in the business of promoting and working with Santa Gertrudis cattle for 33 years, and even though he is now retired from the show ring, he still serves on the Board of Director of Santa Gertrudis Breeders International, and is presently serving his

second sex-year term.

McCarter has worn several hats down through the years, but mostly a cowboy hat. He is a member of the Cattlemen’s Association, and he was one of the first individuals, along with his Dad, who wanted to build an Ag Center in McNairy County to help young people. As we all know, that dream recently came true when the McNairy County Agricultural Building was completed.

During a 28-year period, Gene won 20 National Champions.

He would have 100 cattle under his supervision and care at one time on many occasions. He was a 2007 recipient of the SGBI President’s Award and provided leadership in numerous capacities, including multiple terms as a member of the Board of Directors, and showing and promoting Santa Gertrudis cattle on the show road. He has judged cattle shows all over the United States, and in 2000 he was asked to judge the National Show in Brazil.

Additionally, he worked with Santa Gertrudis Junior Program throughout the United States, and for several years, one of his grandsons, Daniel Teague, traveled with his grandfather and showed in Junior Association show circuit.

Gene is the only person who has served three consecutive terms as President of the Tennessee Beef

Agribition.

The culmination of his career came on April 20, 2013, at the King Ranch in Kingsville, Texas, as he was surrounded by his family, his wife, Louis McCarter, and their three children. Tim McCarter, Sherry McCarter Teague and Angie McCarter Whitman, and many long-time

friends in the Santa Gertrudis business, McCarter was inducted into the Santa Gertrudis Breeders International Hall of Fame, which is the highest honor one can receive within the Association. He is the only person east of the Mississippi to receive this award.

He contributes his success to being honest, working

hard, and working for top ranches throughout the United States. McCarter says that he has enjoyed every minute of his work in the cattle business and he has made many life-long friends during his 33 years of involvement with the Santa Gertrudis breed, and wouldn’t trade those years for anything.
