Community South shut down by TDFI

INSIDE THIS WEEK

All customer accounts safe, CB&S steps in without interruption

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

Last Friday, Community South Bank was closed by the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation then stepped in as receiver of the bank for a short period before CB&S Bank acquired all of the deposits and some of the assets of the troubled bank.

The closure affected all three branches of Community South in McNairy County and left many local residents last weekend wondering if their money was safe.

FDIC number crunchers descended on branches of the Parsons, Tenn. based bank Friday afternoon with Tennessee State Troopers assigned to stand guard as the regulatory agency prepared for the handover to CB&S Bank.

It quickly became apparent, however, that this bank failure was not akin to the Great Depression bank failures that wiped out lifetimes of savings overnight.

Thanks in part to FDIC guarantees and a lightning fast acquisition by CB&S all customer accounts were safe and other than a name change there was little interruption for customers.

Even with the CB&S acquisition of assets, the failure of Community South Bank ended up costing the Federal Deposit Insurance Fund more than $72.5 million, said Greg Hernandez, spokesman for the FDIC.

A State Highway patrol vehicle sits in the Community South parking lot last Friday afternoon shortly after the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions closed all branches of the Parsons, Tenn. based bank.

Despite the trouble, all accounts and deposits including, checking, savings, money markets, certificates of deposit and retirement accounts were safely assumed by CB&S in the transfer.

All three local branches of the bank were up and running Monday morning as official branches of CB&S Bank said Dana Thomas, Marketing Director for CB&S Bank. As of now she said the bank plans to keep the local branches

open.

“We put our banners up, covered their signs and they will be open and running normal business hours as CB&S Bank,” Thomas said.

As far as the local employees of the bank are concerned Thomas said that the customers who are used to dealing with the friendly faces in those branches will still see those friendly faces.

“We know that people bank

with people and we are glad that we are able to keep those people in those branches and allow them to wait on the same customers they have been waiting on,” Thomas said.

Thomas said that as of Monday morning it was business as usual for customers. They will keep using their same checks and same debit cards and even direct

A mobile home occupied by Robert McIntyre on Tull Road in Bethel Springs burned Aug. 16 early in the morning, according to Inv. Jamie Lowrance, of the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department. Lowrance recovered property that was taken from inside the trailer resulting in the arrest of Anthony L. Saxton and Karen Leigh King. Saxton was charged with aggravated burglary and arson and King with aggravated burglary.

EXTRAORDINARY MCNAIRY

Two people were arrested last Wednesday in connection with a suspected arson and burglary of a mobile home on Tull Road in Bethel Springs. Anthony L. Saxton, 32, of Bethel Springs and Karen Leigh King, 28, of Selmer were arrested last Wednesday by McNairy County Sheriff’s Department Inv. Jamie Lowrance.

According to an incident report provided by the department, Robert Blain McIntyre’s residence burned down Aug. 16 early in the morning.

While cleaning the debris, McIntyre noticed that several items, such as a Dell laptop computer, two window air conditioners, a Black and Decker drill and a Dewalt drill were missing.

On Aug. 19, Matthew Felt, a scrap dealer was at the residence cleaning up scrap. McIntyre told Felt that he thought that the house had been burglarized and then burned and described the missing items. Felt

Tiny chicken egg in Selmer nearly world record PAGE 2A

CLARIFICATION The Selmer Police Department has clarified its report on last week's drug arrest of Christopher Conley Davis. According to Chief Neil Burks of the Selmer Police Department, none of the money seized during Davis’ arrest was found in his trunk as was previously reported.

More good news on the local jobs front came last Monday with the announcement that Adamsville will host a new industry which could generate up to 200 new jobs in coming years. Sparks Custom Fabrication, LLC will be moving into a 96,000 sq. ft. industrial building formerly occupied by Masco Bath.

According to a press release from the McNairy Regional Alliance, SCF President

Nathaniel Sparks had been working with MRA Executive Director Ted Moore, as well as Adamsville Mayor David Leckner and Adamsville City Manager Steve Simon in hopes that he could relocate his company to Adamsville. Sparks had made it clear that he wanted his company to be in Adamsville and local leaders worked hard to insure the company, which specializes in stone, metal, millwork and refrigeration products used in the food industry, would soon be able to call McNairy County home.

Sparks and local leaders quickly began

focusing on Masco building as an ideal fit for SCF and there was a combined effort by local and regional agencies to make it work.

In addition to the City of Adamsville and the MRA, representatives with the TVA and the West Tennessee Industrial Association took part in the planning process. Adamsville leaders have specifically committed a $10,000 relocation grant to assist SCF in their move into the new facility. MRA & TVA are looking to help the company upgrade

Selmer chicken lays very tiny egg

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2013

Mastermind of modern mystery helps animals

Staff Photo by Christen Coulon

Telleah Martin of Selmer shared an extraordinary McNairy object with Independent Appeal staff members last week when she brought in a tiny chicken egg that her Banty chicken had laid on Aug. 21. The egg, which measures about the width of an American Quarter or about 2.5 centimeters long, is just a few millimeters away from being the smallest chicken egg on record. A quick search of world records online brought up tiny egg sightings as small as 2.1 centimeters.

Few other chicken eggs on record measure up (or down) to Martin’s egg, making her egg one of the smallest known chicken eggs on earth. Martin said that her chicken has laid other small eggs in the past, but this one was the smallest that she has ever seen.

A’ville reconsiders ambulance service

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

One member of the Adamsville City Commission has questions and problems with existing ambulance service and suggested a deal with Hardin County in addition to the one with McNairy County hospital at the Aug. 19 meeting.

“We’ve had some situations where we’ve had slow responses,” said City Commissioner Mark Massey.

Massey said that he was told ambulances from Hardin County can’t come to Adamsville.

He cited one instance where the ambulance was called again 15 minutes after it was first called and it still had not departed Selmer.

“Can we enter into discussions with Hardin County about us entering into an agreement here to where we can go both ways and what would it entail for us to call Hardin County hospital to come over here and pick up people in the city limits?” Massey asked.

Massey said he had been told that the agreement required an ambulance to be stationed in Adamsville and that has not been done.

“If not, why not?” Massey asked.

“I just think we need to explore it,” Massey said about Adamsville ambulance service.

Massey suggested giving the emergency rescue squad all the support it needs to serve the citizens of Adamsville, particularly while they are waiting for the ambulance to arrive from Selmer.

Commissioner Tommy Morris said that a place for the ambulance was built near the water plant.

“They stayed out there for a month or two and they didn’t like it, so they made an excuse not to stay there. We spent a lot of money fixing that up,” Morris said.

Massey said he liked that the county commission gave everyone in the county emergency helicopter coverage.

He recounted asking a county commissioner who determines if the helicopter is called. If it is ambulance personnel and they are slow getting to the scene of a serious injury or illness, that is a problem.

“Can a nurse practitioner call? What about a doctor? Who has the authority to call the helicopter?”, Massey asked.

Mayor David Leckner said that he would look into the problem and report back to the commission.

deposits as of right now.

When asked which, if any, Community South customers lost money in their accounts due to the failure, Thomas responded, “There is no one.”

Thomas said that they are glad to have their new McNairy County customers and said that the local branches will join more than 50 other branches of the 107 year old bank in Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama.

“CB&S Bank is a community bank, and we care about our customers,” Thomas said.

said that Saxton had tried to sell him a Dell laptop computer, a Black and Decker and a Dewalt drill. One of Saxton’s friends witnessed him in possession of the items as well. Saxton is a longtime friend of McIntyre’s.

Felt said he had purchased two window air conditioners from Saxton for $25 and showed them to McIntyre, who identified them as the ones taken from his trailer.

Mcintyre filed a police report. Lowrance took possession of the air conditioners for evidence and arrested Saxton.

Saxton was interviewed on video and

to more energy efficient lighting in the facility.

“We are very excited to have Mr. Sparks as a part of the Adamsville community,” stated Leckner. “We hope he has continued success with his business and is able to grow with us.”

Moore had hinted in recent months that several economic development opportunities were in the works and with this summer’s expansion at United Stainless and Spectrum Corporation, the announcement of employment opportunities at the new Strata solar farms, and the opening of Sparks, the county could add hundreds of new jobs by 2014.

“This is good news for McNairy County and specifically Adamsville”, Moore said.

“With the recent expansion announcement(s) and other projects that we are close to announcing, this is just a continued step in the right direction.”

The recent economic growth in McNairy County will contribute to the growing West Tennessee industrial base.

“Seeing SCF, LLC launch its business in Adamsville is good news for the city, county and state,” added Mike Philpot, Executive Director; West Tennessee Industrial Association.

“Elected officials and economic development partners worked together with Mr. Sparks to facilitate this exciting project. Much credit goes to the McNairy County economic development team that helped make this project a reality.”

The Sparks announcement could not have come at a better time for the town of Adamsville with the recent announcement that the town would soon be losing one of its largest employers, Masco Bath which said that it would cease all Adamsville operations by

“We want to provide the best possible experience for our customers and their community.

Customers who have any questions regarding the acquisition by CB&S are encouraged to visit their branch and speak with their local banker.

A public notice given to the Independent Appeal by the FDIC encourages all customers to claim their accounts with CB&S within 18 months by either using the account in any way or notifying the bank in writing. Unclaimed accounts will revert back to the FDIC who will then attempt to distribute them through the state. advised of his rights, waived them and confessed that he and King had been stealing things from the home all week because they knew that McIntyre would be out of town working until Aug. 16. He also said that he and King burned the place down in order to disguise the burglary.

Other than the air conditioners, the other stolen items have not been found.

Mcintyre lost all other possessions in the fire and did not have insurance.

As of last Monday, both Saxton and King were in custody at the McNairy County Jail. Saxton will face arson and aggravated burglary charges in Circuit Court on Sept. 4 and King will face aggravated burlgary charges on Sept. 12 in General Sessions Court.

“We are so pleased, that Sparks Industries has made the commitment to invest in McNairy County,” stated McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks. “This is a tremendous boost to the morale of the City of Adamsville, in light of Masco Bath future closure. We look forward to a great relationship, as Sparks grows their industry and becomes a major contributor to the Economic Development of McNairy County.”

SCF President Nathaniel Sparks and his mother, Teresa, gave a tour of their new facility to a few local leaders. During the tour, Sparks expressed his gratitude to those that had been a part of the process in helping his company relocate to Adamsville.

“I am so thankful to have been given the opportunity to move my company to Adamsville,” said Sparks. The Mayor, David Leckner, city officials, MRA, MASCO Corp., Hardin County Bank and Justin Reynolds and his family have made this move possible for me. Thanks so much to the Adamsville community for making us feel so welcome. I look forward to providing many jobs for the area.”

Nathaniel has grown up in the foodservice business. His parents, Jeff and Teresa Sparks, were the founders of American Foodservice and American Creative Solutions. He began his training for the business by working in the metal shop in 2005 and has since worked in all aspects of the fabrication business.

“I am a roll up your sleeves and make it happen kind of guy,” stated Sparks.

It is estimated that SCF will have 45 full time jobs by the end of summer or early fall, with approximately 200 plus jobs within the next few years.

County now owns woman’s missing mower

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

Brenda A. Dinwiddie said that she was surprised recently to learn that her riding lawnmower, purchased with money from her father’s inheritance and left at her exhusband’s home following a divorce, is now the property of McNairy County and is currently being used to mow the lawn of various county-owned properties.

Dinwiddie said that her mower, along with a pick-up truck she owned, were seized when her ex-husband was arrested on drug-related charges in 2012.

Dinwiddie said that she was able to finalize her divorce from her estranged husband later that year, but could not determine that the items had been seized until recently when she sent her son to collect them. At that time, Dinwiddie learned that her ex-husband no longer had possession of those items, however, she was able to determine that the items were seized by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department during the arrest.

She said she was informed that the state had attempted to contact her and had, in fact, contacted her ex-husband by registered mail, and that by state law the time for her to dispute the seizure had passed. They notified her at that time that the truck had been sold at auction and the mower was now the property of the department.

“It was not bought with drug money. That mower was bought with money from my dad’s inheritance,” Dinwiddie said.

Dinwiddie said that loss of the truck and mower have caused her family hardship. Currently she and her husband are without reliable transportation and can not mow their lawn.

“They won’t let me get it back. They won’t even let me buy the lawnmower from them,” Dinwiddie said.

Dinwiddie said that she understood why this law is in place but expressed frustration that the letter of the law allowed the state to seize her property and distribute it without contacting the rightful owner. In addition she said that it was unfair that she was left without any legal options to reclaim her property.

“It’s just gone,” Dinwiddie said.

McNairy County Sheriff Guy Buck said that it was not his department who seized the property, but the state of Tennessee. Buck said that the state determines on seizure cases whether to grant the property to the local authorities either for use or for disposal.

In the case of Dinwiddie’s property, the state designated the mower for use and the truck for disposal at auction.

“The property was in possession of an individual who was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine,” Buck said. “If we catch you making or selling dope, or involved the process of distributing or manufacturing narcotics, then we can assume that you are making money by doing this. If you are doing this and you have a house full of big screen (televisions) or 15 cars in your yard (the law says) that we are going to take this stuff and hold it.

We may even take your money and hold it, but she had the opportunity to go to court and say, ‘Look these are my tax receipts, this is where I have been working, and I file with the IRS every year.’

That is a civil process between the state of Tennessee and the individual the property was seized from,” Buck said, “This is all done with a legal process.” He also said that the department had no way of knowing that this property belonged to Dinwiddie and were not informed

of that when the property was taken.

He said that at this point Dinwiddie may still be able to recover damages against the person the property was seized from, but Buck said he could not legally do anything about it.

Because the property was taken by the state and then turned over to the county, it now belongs to the county.

Buck said that if he were to give back the mower, it would be no different than if he gave away a police cruiser or any other piece of county property. It would be a criminal act to give away county property.

“We play within the letter of the law,” Buck said. “If there is a dope dealer and he is being fruitful from his activities...we are going to pick that fruit. That is how we obtain our funding. This county is broke. The only way we can fund our activities without that tax payer money is by forfeitures and seizures.”

When asked about cases in other Tennessee jurisdictions where police were alleged to have targeted out-ofstate travelers with large amounts of money, Buck said that the local sheriff’s department simply does not do that.

“We have never done that,” Buck said, “If we go out and we do not find any dope then we are not going to be seizing stuff. These are people who are profiting from an illegal activity. That is who we are taking stuff from...I would not allow any of my officers to go out and just look at southbound (Highway) 45 traffic in order to criminally interdict. That is not right and it is not what we are here for.”

Buck said that if Dinwiddie was able to obtain a court order to reclaim the mower he would, of course, honor the court order, but he believed it was likely that Dinwiddie’s legal options had expired.

The law in the news: What’s so civil about civil asset forfeiture?

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

One thing some groups on both the left and right of the political spectrum agree on is that they don’t think very highly of what is called civil asset forfeiture.

Civil asset forfeiture is where law enforcement officers take property that is suspected of being connected to a crime. However, the owner of the property does not have to be convicted of a crime for the property to be taken.

This property is often vehicles or money, but can be real property and other types of property. Where it is suspected that money has or is about to be exchanged for illegal drugs, the money can be seized. The same is true for vehicles.

In addition, a vehicle can be seized for driving on a driver’s license which has been revoked for driving under the influence or for driving under the influence a second or subsequent time.

A warrant, issued by a judge upon prob-

able cause, does have to be obtained after the fact.

This, like all other probable cause hearings, is an ex parte hearing, meaning only the party seeking the search warrant has the right to be present.

The prosecutor and the officer who seized the property will first attempt to negotiate an out of court settlement with the property owner.

If they cannot, the property owner does have the right to an administrative hearing.

However, he has prove that the state had no right to seize the property. Proving a negative is usually difficult if not impossible.

Instead of being presumed innocent until proven guilty, property owners are presumed guilty until proven innocent under this process.

The rule follows the first legal principle that a party asserting something, such as a property owner saying, “The state has no right to seize my property,” has the burden of proof but this goes against a second legal principle that a party making a positive as-

sertion rather than a negative one, such as the state saying, “We have a right to seize your property,” should bear the burden of proof. To place the burden of proof on the property owner, as in the first legal principle, goes against a third legal principle that the state should bear the burden of proof when it seeks to place the life or property of an individual in jeopardy. This burden is proof beyond a reasonable doubt, a higher standard than proof by preponderance of the eveidence (more likely than not). In order to seize property, officers only have to show probable cause that the property is connected to a crime by a preponderance of the evidence.

The property owner may appeal to the Commissioner of Safety in Nashville and from there may appeal to the Davidson County Chancery Court located in Nashville; he must appeal in person. This can constitute a hardship for anyone not living near Nashville.

The fundamental legal problem of this process is that the civil law is designed to

A new business for Eastview?

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Eastview may be getting a new business, Mayor Jessie Robbins told the board of aldermen at their Aug. 20 meeting.

Robbins said that Sammy Kiser is considering opening a new business in the old Risner’s restaurant building. Kiser is considering putting a Tobacco Barn and a package beer store in the building. It is also possible he will sell barbeque.

Kiser told the Mayor he will not open the store at all unless the city allows Sunday beer sales. That is the only way Kiser could compete with Top O’ the River in Michie.

Michie allows beer sales on Sunday,

but Eastview does not.

“It’s bad enough they sell it Monday through Saturday,” board member Lucy Martin said.

“He said he invested a bunch of money and he had to do something with it,” Robbins said Kiser told him.

The city also awarded several bids for services and the sale of surplus city property.

The board accepted the only bid of $658 by Ronald A. Plunk CarpetUpholstery Cleaning and to strip and wax the floors of the Civic Center.

The board accepted Peggy Henson’s low bid of $45 per cleaning for the center. This is done weekly if anyone uses the building. Deborah

“We may not ever find out where those 2 million gallons went, but going forward that shouldn’t happen,” Martin said.

compensate an individual who has been wronged by another. This would not seem to apply to asset forfeitures.

The criminal law is designed to punish an individual for wronging other individuals or society. This would seem to be the more appropriate body of law to apply to asset forfeitures.

Applying civil law to asset forfeitures evades the higher legal and constitutional protections granted individuals by the criminal law.

According to media reports, the law is also sometimes applied to the facts in a suspect way. People carrying as little as a few hundred dollars in cash have had the money seized on the conclusion that this in and of itself is sufficient evidence of drug smuggling or money laundering.

Carrying a few hundred dollars in cash, though it may not be a wise practice, is something citizens of Tennessee and the United States have every legal right to do without fear of being suspected of illegal activity without evidence.

Emergency Awareness Day

By Amanda Lowrance Feature Writer

The local Emergency Medical Responders will be hosting McNairy County Emergency Awareness Day, which will be held Saturday, Sept. 7 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Selmer City Park.

“We are wanting the first Saturday in September to become McNairy County Emergency Awareness Day, making it a proclamation,” said ER Director, Thomas Perkins.

“Instead of just our non-profit organization doing a fundraiser, we want to make it a county annual event, which will gain more marketing, support, and services.”

Emergency equipment will be purchased through the fundraiser, including new automated external defibrillators, which is a portable device that diagnoses cardiac arrhythmias and treats through defibrillation.

“The Hometown Hero Award will be announced for McNairy County,” said Perkins, with mention of a couple of surprise well-known guests.

Several supporters will be there including the helicopter crew and local fire and rescue members displaying equipment and gear.

Tennessee Highway Patrol, Selmer Police, McNairy County Sheriff officers will boost Drug Abuse Resistance Education and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency will demonstrate water safety.

Door prizes, barbeque plates, and jumpers for the kids will make the annual event one to remember.

What’s in a name?

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Did you ever wonder how the towns in our county got their names?

Some are obvious. For instance Adamsville got its name from the Adams family, which was one of the early families to settle in the town according to “History of Adamsville, McNairy County, Tennessee” by T. Wash Scott, transcribed by Nancy Wardlow Kennedy, Director of the McNairy County Archives. The Adams’ were wealthy slaveholders who came from Virginia in 1833. One of them, George G. Adams, had a post office and a store that he named Adamsville.

Pocahontas was named for the Indian princess, according to “Tennessee Place Names” by Larry L. Miller.

Selmer is named after Selma, Ala., though it is spelled differently, according to “The Death Song of Purdy” by Kennedy. It got its name from Alabama businessman Pugh Houston Thrasher, who was a developer of the town.

Thrasher sent the paperwork to the post office, but mispelled the name of the town, according to the memoirs of West Tennessee born judge John Pitts, according to the Tennessee History for Kids website. An alternative story is that the post office mispelled the name. Thrasher’s namesake, Houston, would serve as county executive (now mayor) in the 20th century.

Selmer was originally called New South, but postal authorities would not recognize that name because it contained two words and sent the paperwork back.

Bethel Springs was named from the Bethel Presbyterian Church located in the area, according to Kennedy. Bethel was the name submitted to the post office, but they would not approve it because there was already a town with the same name. Springs was added to the name because of the spring located near the present location of the state garage.

The town of Finger got its name from the post office, according to “Let’s Call it Finger” by John Talbott. The Rev. John J. Franklin, the postmaster of McNairy Station, sarcastically suggested the name in the course of a meeting, characterized by arguing and finger pointing. Finger was originally called McIntyre’s Crossing, after one of the early families to build a store there, McIntyre, James and Company, General Merchandise. James R. McIntyre was one of the founders of the Bank of Finger, the town’s first bank.

Purdy is named for Col. John Purdy, who laid out the town, according to “The Reminiscenses of the Early Settlements and Early Settlers of McNairy

County” edited by Marcus Joseph Wright.

There are three different theories on where Chewalla got its name, according to “Tennessee Place Names”. One theory is that it is means cedar, referring to the cedar trees, in Choctaw. A variation in spelling means snake. A third theory is that the name comes from an Indian, Chewalla, Chief Walla or Walla Walla, who ran a trading post.

Kennedy favors the third theory, saying it is the one told most around here.

Ramer is named after John T. Ramer who donated a strip of land, called the Ramer Station, to the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, according to “Tennessee Place Names”. A wood yard for the trains and a station for the passengers were built there.

Michie was named after a long residing local family. According to “Tennessee Place Names,” it was originally called Pea Ridge. Postal authorities tried to get the name Monterey, but could not because there was already another place in the state named that.

Guys was the last name of a guy who had a railroad siding (a spur) for the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, according to “Tennessee Place Names”. This made it easier him to ship wood and lumber products. The town was originally called Guy’s Switch, but the last word and the possessive form were dropped.

Stantonville was named after Benjamin Stanton, who came through the area as a scout for a wagon train going from Virginia to Missouri, according to Kennedy. He married Martha White and established an iron foundry, which was the same business he had in England. Stanton moved to Pocahontas after the foundry business failed and his wife died.

Milledgeville was named for the grist mill, the water mill and the saw mill, three of the original businesses in the town, according to Kennedy.

The name Eastview comes from a store that was opened by Stanton Littlejohn in the community before it became a town, according to Kennedy.

One morning, his mother Roxie was sitting on their porch, which faced east.

She commented on how beautiful the sunrise was. “We have a beautiful east view,” she said.

McNairy County was named after Judge John McNairy of Nashville, according to “Tennessee Place Names”.

President George Washington appointed him to be the first the federal district court in Tennessee in 1797, according to “The Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture, McNairy County”, by Bill Wagoner.

A special thanks to Nancy Kennedy for her assistance with research on this story. Her expertise proved invaluable.

Michie grant to improve water treatment plant

By Janet Rail Publisher

The Michie mayor and board of aldermen passed a resolution to accept $300,257.98 of financial assistance in a CDBG grant for construction and improvements at their water plant contingent upon confirmation of an easement to the property surrounding the lagoon. The resolution states project approval to award a contract to Ronald Franks Construction, Savannah, Tenn., as the lowest and most responsive bidder for immediate improvements to the water treatment plant.

Water department manager, Roger Jenkins was on hand to discuss a Sept. 12 pre-construction survey to be conducted by an engineering firm. The mayor and board were invited to attend the meeting. The board discussed the potential existence of an easement on the property surrounding the lagoon and their desire to confirm an easement prior to construction. The grant will support improvements on the water plant to benefit all city residents, according

to the resolution.

The board also passed a resolution to move their local banking to Home Banking Company as the current Hardin County Bank in Michie has sold to Home Banking as of Sept. 3 and the city currently has all of their accounts with the branch.

“We have to change everything over,” said city recorder Janice Durbin. The city currently has drafts, direct deposits and checking to be moved. “I make a motion to change everything over to Home Banking once the bank is taken over,” said Alderman Jim Merry.

The drive through window in the city hall used by water department customers speaker system was reported broken. “We are having problems with our drive through window,” said Mayor David Baker. “We have replaced the speakers three times in the past few years,” said Durbin. The board made a motion to repair the window with expenditures not to exceed $1000.

A Shiloh citizen, Lucretia Williams, of 690 McNairy Drive appealed to the board for city water. “I have been here 18 years and have wa-

ter all around me but I have no water available to me.

Michie water is all around me. I’d like to know what I need to do to get water. I have to go to the creek to get water now,” said Williams.

“Anything over 2,500 feet has to be approved by the state. I need to get the exact measurements and report back to the board. We will try to help you any way we can.

Everyone needs water during this day and time,” said Jenkins. “It may be easier to go to First Utilities in Hardin County,” said Jenkins.

“If I could get them to OK it, would you give them permission to do it on your territory,” said Williams. “We would have to give them permission since it is our territory,” said Alderman Jeb Baker.

Jenkins will look into the matter and get back with the board of the potential costs and alternatives with First Utilities to provide water to Williams and potentially 5 other homes on her road.

In earlier business, the board passed the July 11 meeting minutes and mentioned their city election this Saturday for mayor and two aldermen.

Local teacher Thweatt pens book

By Delise Teague McNairy County Schools

Longtime Ramer resident and McNairy County educator Marti Thweatt has put together quite an electric resume over the course of her lifetime. Skydiver, award-winning photographer, teacher, jewelry-maker, doctor of education, mother of three, grandmother of seven, missionary, case judge/consultant to a federal court monitor, world traveler…

In her typically humble and unassuming way, Thweatt added a new entry to her impressive list of accomplishments this summer with the publication of her first novel, Deceptions of Angels. Projected as the first in a trilogy, Deceptions of Angels is a unique blend of historical fiction, Bible prophecy, and modern science within the context of a compelling story of love and betrayal. Thweatt penned the novel under the pseudonym Amelia Glynn, as a tribute to her dear aunt.

On Sept. 8, Thweatt will showcase her book locally at a reception and book signing at the Buzz, located at 141 West Court Ave. in Selmer. The public is invited to attend the event (1-3 p.m.) and meet the author. Refreshments will be served. Interested individuals may purchase a copy of the novel at the reception and have it signed by the author. The novel is also available in paperback from nailprintspress.com and on Kindle at amazon.com.

Marti Thweatt was over 50 when she started writing the novel. Her father had just died, her mother had Alzheimer’s, and she was dealing with the realization that she was not going to live forever. “It was the perfect time to start a new project,” Thweatt stated.

The author traveled to Jerusalem and to Turin, Italy, to conduct research for Deceptions of Angels.

She crafted the story over the span of several years, then placed the manuscript lovingly inside a drawer. As it rested, she earned a doctorate in education and published short stories, poetry, and scholarly papers.

Thweatt reminisced, “I remember thinking about who I was going to let publish my first novel.

Yes, I was quite naïve. I sent letters of inquiry and the first three chapters to various publishers, only to be told repeatedly, ‘We are not accepting unsolicited manuscripts at this time.’”

Disheartened and wounded by repeated rejections, Thweatt was encouraged by her pastor, who kept telling her to believe in herself as a writer and to believe in her story.

Weeks turned into months, and months turned into years. Her manuscript remained in the drawer.

She quit trying to secure a publisher. When asked what she was doing to get her book published, she responded, “I’m not doing anything. If God wants that book published, He will send a publisher knocking on my door.”

In December 2012, on Marti’s 65th birthday, she got a call from Nail Prints Press. Thweatt’s first novel is now available in traditional paperback and electronic format. It has been compared with the Left Behind series, a set of sixteen end-times novels

by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.

“I always knew Deceptions was going to be published. I knew I was given the story to write for a purpose and when God was ready He would provide the means for publication. However, just like the characters in my novel, I wasted a lot of energy thinking “I” had to provide the means.”

Marti, who grew up in Iuka, Mississippi, and her husband, Charles, have recently relocated to their beach home on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Put math skills to work helping community as tax volunteer

By Dan Boone IRS Media Office

If you’re looking for a way to help your community, then consider becoming a tax volunteer. The IRS is looking for volunteers now who will provide free tax help next year.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Tax Counseling for the Elderly are community-based programs.

They provide free tax return preparation for people who need tax help but can’t afford it. People with lowto-moderate incomes, seniors, people with disabilities, and those with limited English skills usually qualify for this free service.

Here are six good reasons why you should become a VITA or TCE volunteer.

1. No previous experience is required. Volunteers receive specialized training and have the option of serving in a variety of roles. If you’re fluent in a language other than English, you can help those who do not speak English.

2. The IRS provides free tax law training and materials that allow volunteers to prepare basic individual income tax returns. Volunteers learn many aspects of tax return preparation. This includes tax deductions and credits that benefit eligible taxpayers, like the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Credit for the Elderly.

3. The hours are flexible. Volunteers generally serve an average of three to five hours per week. Volunteer programs are open from mid-January through the tax filing deadline, which will be April 15, 2014.

4. Volunteer sites are located in communities throughout the nation. You’ll find them in neighborhood centers, libraries, schools, shopping malls, and other convenient locations. VITA and TCE sites offer free electronic filing for both federal and state tax returns.

5. Veteran and non-veteran volunteers may be able to help military personnel and their families.

6. As a volunteer, you become part of a program that has helped people file tax returns at no charge for more than four decades. With VITA and TCE, you do make a difference. It’s people helping people. It’s that simple.

Additional information about becoming a VITA or TCE volunteer is available at IRS.gov. Type the key words “tax volunteer” in the search box to read more and to submit Form 14310, VITA/TCE Volunteer Sign Up, by email through the IRS website.

Friends, now that is a word that means a lot to me.

How about you?

If I ask you to tell me what that word means to you what would be your answer? To me it means someone who will accept who you are not what you are. Do you have a friend you can be yourself with, who you could call and know that they would be there for you in the good times and the bad? A friend will be your biggest fan, one who would face his world for you or with you. A true friend is a rare gift from the Father above and if you have a true friend I hope you guard that friendship because it is a great gift that you should hold onto with both hands.

I would like to tell you about a friendship I have seen these past few weeks.

One of the nurses who works in our home, Marie Plunk, and her children were involved in a bad accident a few weeks ago. She was driving with two of her children in the back of the car when she hit a tree. I was called to the phone and heard these sad words that Maria and the kids are in the emergency room. Maria and her daughter were then transported to a hospital in Memphis. The news for Maria at the time did not look good. A lot of

August 31 • Rose Creek School Reunion Rose Creek School Reunion will be Saturday, Aug. 31 at the Rose Creek Fire Department. Anyone who attended school at Rose Creek and all their family is invited.

Come for a day of fun and fellowship. Bring a covered dish and drinks. Potluck lunch at 12 noon.

Some of the staff at McNairy County Health Care made a poster for one of their nurses, Maria Plunk. She, and her children, were involved in an automobile accident. prayers went up that day for this lady who had become a part of our family. I will never forget Will Shelton standing up during the meeting we were in at the time and saying, lets pray. You see in my greatest time of need the only place I can go for comfort is to my Father.

The road to recovery was going to be a long time in coming for Maria and her children. Several of the staff went to the hospital to see what they could do for Maria. You see bills still come due and have to be paid. As you all know there is also nothing cheap about medical care and we knew there would be a need for help.

Two of our nurses de-

cided it was time for them to step up to the plate and see what they could do to meet the needs. Bobbie Crum, along with Rachel Brown, who are two of Maria’s many friends, started the ball rolling to meet the needs of Maria and her children. Along with several of the other staff decided it was time to put shoe leather to the talk of let’s help Maria. There have been soup sales, drawings for prizes and some really great folks in our community who have asked how can they help.

Now folks that to me is the meaning of friendship.

You have a need can I help, are some sweet words. At some time in our life we will all need those kinds of

friends. Talk is cheap but these girls didn’t just talk they went to work. If you have a need, would you have those kinds of friends? I hope so and will you be one of those kinds of friends when there is a real need?

This week as you read this article would you please send up a prayer for our girl Maria and her children? I promise you ... God has a plan. If you are blessed to have a friend like the ones I mentioned above, please don’t ever take that great gift for granted. Hold your friends with a tight hand and when the time comes for you to lend a hand please do so.

Until next time.

Cards out class Eagles

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The Adamsville Cardinals opened their 2013 season at home against a strong Eagles team from Chester County High School. The Cardinals got revenge for the last two years and came away with a strong victory over the Eagles.

Ross Burcham lowers his shoulder to get into the end zone for the Cardinals first touchdown against Chester County.

The Cardinals got off to a slow start in the first quarter, being the first week of the regular season there were still some bugs to work out of the system.

“Our guys know what to do,” said head coach Brandon Gray. “We just have to go out and execute on every play.”

After not being able to get into much of a rhythm on offense or defense, the Cards found themselves down and the end of the first quarter, with the Eagles leading 7-0.

In the second quarter, the Cards quickly found themselves in trouble again. With a little over ten minutes left in the quarter, the Eagles found their way into the end zone again and took a 14-0 lead with all the momentum on their side.

That is when the Cardinals found their way, and began to play solid football. Adamsville began to drive on their next possession, and put their first points on the board when Ross Burcham made his way into the end zone.

The Cardinals elected to go for two, but failed to complete the attempt.

Now down 14-6, the Cardinals need a big defensive stop and at least one more score before heading into halftime. The defense came through and the Redbirds forced the Eagles to punt.

After a great punt from Chester County, the Cardinals were pinned on their own 1 yard line with two minutes left until half time.

The Cardinals got a great first play from running back Zak Neary that got

them away from there own end zone, and that is all they needed. With barely more that one minute left to play quarterback Seth Paul made the connection with Bradley Parmely, who got behind the defense and was off to the races for the long 85 yard touchdown pass. Neary handled the ball on the extra point try and forced his way into the end zone to tie the game at 14 just before halftime.

After halftime, the Cardinals wasted little time getting on the board as Jacob Wallis found a seam, and took the opening kickoff all the way for a touchdown.

The Cardinals failed on the extra point attempt and took away a 20-14 lead just after the start of the third quarter.

On the following kickoff, it was again Parmely who stepped up to make the big play. The Cardinals chose to go with a squib kick, and it was Parmely who was able to get down the field and recover the ball for the Cardinals.

The offense took advantage. Paul once again found his target through the air, this time connecting with Wallis for his second touchdown in less than 40 seconds. The Cardinals once again missed the extra point attempt but held the lead 26-14.

After allowing another Eagle touchdown in the third quarter, Adamsville’s offense had to answer. This time the call was answered by Dustin Neil as he got the ball on the hand off and made his way into the end zone with five minutes left in the third quarter. With the score the Cardinals pulled away, leading 3221.

Taking the lead in the fourth quarter, the Cardinals wasted little time putting more points on the board, as the Chester County fans began to get a little out of hand.

With 10 minutes left in the game Paul once again aired it out for a long touchdown. This time the receiver was Ross Burcham, who made the catch in stride

MCHS track renovation moves forward

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The effort initiated by Quincy Wyke to resurface the McNairy Central High School track came one step closer to reality last Thursday as Wyke met at the track with Lee Murray of Competition Athletic Services of Chattanooga, Tenn. and Principal Mickey Murphy.

Murray inspected the track and estimated that the renovation would cost more than $200,000 and take around three months.

Wyke, who is organizing a 5K walk next spring along the Fred Wyke Highway along Highway 45 in Eastview, said it would take three to four years to raise the funds for a new track. Part of the money raised from the event will go to the American

Heart Association.

Fred, who was Quincy’s brother, was the only state champion on record in any athletic event from MCHS. He was state champion in 300-yard intermediate hurdles in 1987. Fred succumbed to heart disease shortly after he graduated from MCHS that year. He joined the Air Force but was never able to report for duty.

Quincy said he is thinking about other events, such as consignment sales or silent auctions, to raise funds for the track.

“I’m doing whatever I can to keep his memory alive, to prevent people from going through what I went through, watching my brother die,” Quincy said.

Quincy explained to Murphy that he had appeared before the school

board meeting in July and they approved the idea which appealed to Murphy who said he prefers “to do whatever the school board tells me.”

“Basically, this track is old. The surface at the time was the top of the line, but that was 20 to 30 years ago,” said Murray whose company builds, resurfaces, and repairs tracks, “Track surfaces have evolved and these are not even used anymore; and to add insult to injury, you can’t resurface on top of this rubber.”

He added the current track is a 440-yard track and modern tracks are now metric and fixing the track would involve taking the existing track up and starting over.

“It’s held up structurally. Boy, y’all got your money’s worth,” Murray

Jr. High football kicks off season

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The county junior high teams got their first taste of action last week when they met at McNairy Central for the jamboree.

The night started out with the defending champion Bethel Rebels taking the field against the Ramer Eagles.

The Rebels lost a lot of key players from last year, but had a game plan coming in against the Eagles.

On Ramer’s side of the ball the plan was simple. Feed the ball to Kylin Wynn. The eighth grader had a great season last year and is widely looked at as one of the best backs in county.

Wynn had a good game against the Rebels, scoring a multiple touchdowns and coming through with some big tackles on the defensive side.

Bethel was not able to find the end zone in the abbreviated match-up, but have a good idea of what they need to work on in the future.

The second game of the night was between the Selmer Lions and the Adamsville Cardinals.

The Cardinals as well the Lions are trying to improve on the seasons they had last year.

Adamsville has their entire starting line coming back from last season and looks to use their size as an advantage.

The Cardinals were able to move the ball and scored against the tough Selmer defense.

For the Lions, speed may be their biggest strength. Having some of the fastest kids in the county, the Lions gave us a glimpse of their big play abilities pulling off long runs in their 14-6 win over the Cardinals.

For the final contest of the night, the Lions stayed on field to take on the Blue Devils from Michie.

Michie brought a little different offense to the field relying more on speed and quickness rather than size, and also putting the ball in the air more often than the other teams in the county.

Eighth grade quarterback Clint Coleman will play a big role for the Devils this season both throwing the ball and running too. In the jamboree Michie gave up a early score to the Lions, but could not get on the board as lighting caused the game to be ended early.

The county will have some great games this season as all the teams look to make their bids for the county championship. Fans are looking forward to great football this year.

Cardinals cage Cats in first season match-up

By Sarah Rowland Sports Writer

The Cardinals walked away with the win 2-1 against the Bobcats when the rival soccer teams went head-to-head Aug. 23 in both team’s second games of the season.

“Anytime you beat your county rival, it’s a good win,” said Rebecca Ashe, Cardinals coach.

Ashe said both teams came out ready to play in what she called a “pride game” and agreed the teams seemed evenly matched.

It wasn’t until 25 minutes into the first half that Lady Bobcat Rebekah Lowrie made the first goal of the game with an assist by Madi Rose Hammock, but the Cardinals quickly recovered when Madelynn Lynch, with an assist from Robin Moore, tied the score 1-1 before halftime.

Early in the second half Cardinal Lexie Woods made the final goal of the game when she kicked the ball into the net as the Bobcat goalie stumbled.

Coach Jerry Lott said the Bobcats are doing a good job handling the ball and getting it down the field but need to start finishing the Staff Photo by Sarah Rowland plays to score points.

Ashe also said the Cardinals “missed out on a lot of opportunities Cardinal Olivia Johnson takes a shot that Bobcat goalie Holly Moore saves, one of eight saves of the to score.” game.

Track From Page 1B said.

This track is safe for middle-school track meets, but you would not see high school athletes on a track like this Murray said.

Though Selmer Middle School does have a track team, said Murphy, MCHS does not.

“I bet your football folks would love to have a high school program and I bet if you had a facility, you’d have kids chomping at the bit, lining up,” Quincy said.

Murray said that lots of kids and lots of types of kids can participate in track and field. Kids that are fast, that can run long distances, strong kids can throw the shotput and discus and those that can jump can all be on a track team.

A new track will also make the whole campus look better Quincy said.

The track rings the football field and is part of the overall impression people in the stands get when they come to football games Murray said.

This type of project is usually done during summer vacation Murray added.

Quincy, who works in orthopedics, said this surface is not good for athlete’s joints.

“This is a shin-splint surface,” Murray agreed.

“Even when this surface was brand new, if you compare it with surfaces of today, they are much more resilient, forgiving and safe...It’s an advancement that you would expect after 30 years,” Murray said.

Murray has been working with track surfaces for about 30 years.

Quincy said he is seeking to get the community involved in this project. He invited MCHS students to participate in the 5K walk.

“You don’t have to be an athlete. You can come out here and walk laps. It’s something that potentially every body could participate in,” Murray observed.

“I was shocked,” Quincy said when he found out that heart disease was the leading cause of death in the country. Other leading causes are also related to lack of physical activity.

“The levels of stress are so high,” Quincy said.

“This is not a sprint, this is a marathon,” Quincy said about the fundraising effort.

“Just think what he would have done if he had a facility to train in,” Murray said after hearing there was not a track when Fred won the state championship.

Quincy said that Fred trained in the MCHS parking lot, ran on the side of Highway 45, and he and his dad set up hurdles in their yard.

By Sarah Rowland Sports Writer

The Bobcat golf team scored 341 ranking 10 out of 17 teams in the Hardin County Tournament in Pickwick, Tenn. last Tuesday.

The Bobcats had the top four scores for boys. John Hunter Powers was the lead scorer for the Bobcats with a score of 81 with Dilan Miller just behind him with a score of 84. Matt Chandler scored 87 while both Hunter Foote and Briley Taylor scored 89.

The Lady Bobcats carried the top two scores for girls with Kelly Beth Ernest finishing with a score of 101 and Valerie Jones and Sarah Stanfield both finishing with scores of 103.

Coach Adam Day said the team didn’t do as well as he expected in the tournament, the team’s second 18-hole match of the season.

Day said the team started off slow last year before sending four Bobcat players to the state tournament. He said the Bobcats just need to “keep plugging away” and he hopes they will improve.

Despite poor performance in the tournament, the Bobcats came in first with a score of 164 against Madison County, who scored 171, and Trinity Christian Academy, who scored 173, in a nine hole match last Tuesday played in Humboldt, Tenn.

Independent Appeal v Page 5B

Cardinals From Page 1B

and out running the defense to extend the Cardinal lead to 39-21.

Adamsville, after the score, began to get some young guys into the game, and it did not take long for them to make an impact. With eight minutes left to play it was Brady Herrin with his first carry of the game, who broke loose and and flew past the Eagles defense on his way to a 54 yard touchdown run. Adamsville was able to tack on the extra point and take their lead to 46-21.

The Eagles were able to get on the board one final time before the end of the game but it was the Cardinals who were still on top winning the game 46-35.

“It is good to get a win in the first game of the year,” said Gray. “But being that it was not a district game we just needed it to get better and I think we did just that.

We got to play a lot of guys and we were able to get a good look at what we need to work on moving forward.”

Coach Gray and the Cardinals will be heading to Bolivar Tenn., to face the Tigers, and hopefully come home with their second win of the season.

the Failed Institution. You may leave your Deposits in the New Institution, but you must take action to claim ownership of your Deposits.

Federal law, 12 U.S.C. Section 1822(e), requires you to claim ownership of (“claim”) your Deposits at the New Institution by taking any of the following actions within 18 months from the Closing Date. If you have more than one account, your action in claiming your Deposit in one account will automatically claim your Deposits in all of your accounts.

1. Make a deposit to or withdrawal from your account(s). This includes writing a check on any account, having an automated direct deposit credited to or an automated withdrawal debited from any account or closing the account; 2. Execute a new signature card on your account(s), enter into a new deposit agreement with the New Institution, change the ownership on your account(s), or renegotiate the terms of your certificate of deposit account(s) (if any); 3. Provide the New Institution with a completed change of address form; or 4. Write to the New Institution and notify it that you wish to keep your account(s) active with the New Institution. Please be sure to include the name of the account(s), the account number(s), the signature of an authorized signer on the account(s) and a name and address.

Please be advised that Official Items issued by the Failed Institution, e.g., cashier’s checks, dividend checks, interest checks, expense checks, and money orders are all considered to be Deposits and must be claimed within 18 months from the Closing Date.

If you do not claim ownership of your Deposits at the New Institution within 18 months from the Closing Date, federal law requires the New Institution to return your Deposits to the FDIC, which may be required to deliver them as unclaimed property to the State indicated in your address on the Failed Institution’s records. 12 U.S.C. Section 1822(e). If your address is outside of the United States, the FDIC may be required to deliver the Deposits to the State in which the Failed Institution had its main office. If the State accepts custody of your Deposits, you will have 10 years from the date of delivery to claim your Deposits from the State. After 10 years, you will be permanently barred from claiming your Deposits.

If the State does not take custody of your Deposits after the 18-month period, you may claim your Deposits from the FDIC until the receivership of the Failed Institution is terminated. A receivership may be terminated at any time. Once the receivership terminates, you will not be able to claim your Deposits.
