Camera catches burglary suspect Independent Appeal selmer mayoral debate

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

A Selmer man has been arrested in connection with an Aug. 26 burglary on Lilly Tyler Rd. Due to some quick thinking on the part of a sheriff’s deputy and the resident’s home security system, authorities were able to identify a suspect in the case and recover the victim’s stolen property almost immediately.

McNairy County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the call around 11 a.m. when the homeowner called to report that a man was in their garage.

According to the incident report, the

According to the report, Lt. James Frazier and Deputy Brad Fuller made contact with the victim’s neighbor, Kaleb Denton Brown later that day. Brown who lives two blocks from the burglary, said that King was at his residence earlier but left when the two had an argument. Brown said at that time and during a later discussion with authorities that he had no contact with King following their argument.

King of Selmer was arrested last week and taken to the McNairy County Jail, he has since bonded out. King is charged with burglary, theft of property and criminal trespass in the case and is scheduled in court on Oct. 31.

resident reported that they made contact with the burglar in the garage prior to the call asking him, “May I help you?”

The subject reportedly responded saying that he was looking for a Mr. Brown, but could not remember the man’s first name.

Using video surveillance equipment and the resident’s eye witness report, deputies identified Jamie D. King as the intruder.

While at the victim’s residence, Deputy Keenan Lamberth was able to find several pieces of stolen property valued at more than $500 hidden on the victim’s property including a chain saw, generator and a battery.

Monogram Refrigeration, LLC in Selmer builds high-end refrigerators for households throughout the world while employing 161 people and bringing money to West Tennessee. And the future outlook for Monogram is improving as company officials plan a new product line that will create more jobs.

The company provides a healthy economic impact that ripples through the region. It’s an important part of McNairy County’s industrial mix, said Ted Moore, executive director of the McNairy Regional Alliance.

“We’re very proud to have Monogram in our community, and we appreciate the economic impact they have on Selmer and McNairy County,” Moore said.

Monogram Refrigeration has two facilities north of Selmer totaling 130,000 square feet that churn out about 10,000 units each year, said Operations Manager and Lean Leader Tyrone Hopper. The company manufactures 35 different models of high-end products, most of which are energy-efficient models.

The Selmer-made refrigerators with sleek stainless steel or paneled exteriors that match kitchen cabinetry – are shipped to upscale homes in markets such as California; Florida; Washington, D.C; and New York City.

The products are competitive, and the company’s future in McNairy County is bright, officials say.

In fact, Moore said the company plans on investing several million dollars into the facility to produce a new refrigerator line. And Monogram Refrigera-

Regina Smith puts the finishing touches on a refrigerator at Monogram Refrigeration. tion Human Resources Manager Jonathan Lee said the company will increase its workforce significantly as it prepares to launch the new model – a stylish refrigerator with French doors.

“We’ve positioned the business for success over the next two to three years,” Lee said.

Lee and Hopper say the area’s strong and committed workforce has played a big part in the company’s success. Monogram employees are committed and flexible team players that are always working for ways to improve the facility, Hopper said.

And the jobs they fill are

good ones, Lee said. The company offers a great benefits package that includes health insurance, retirement contributions and tuition assistance, he said. It also likes to promote from within, and it’s not uncommon for production workers to make it into management, Lee said.

“We give people the opportunity to move up in the company.”

The plant first opened its doors in 1986, and its workforce has fluctuated with the condition of the economy. Although the plant has changed ownership in the past, Monogram is committed to Selmer

and McNairy County, Lee said.

It is one of the top contributors to the local United Way and frequently sponsors local fundraising initiatives.

“We’re constantly participating in the community,” Lee said.

Its employees also participate in awareness campaigns such as Relay for Life and contribute to local causes such as school supplies and clothing drives. Why? For Monogram and its employees, McNairy County is home.

“I’ve lived in West Tennessee my whole life,” Hopper said. “I think it’s a great area, and it’s a great place for kids to grow up.”

Selmer Senior Center wins District Brain Games

The Selmer Senior Center’s Team TCB (short for Taking Care of Business) competed and won the Senior Brain Games Aug. 22 against nine other senior centers in the Southwest District.

The Senior Brain Games, initiated by The Tennessee Commission on Aging and Disability and Vanderbilt University is designed to highlight the senior adults that we serve with a specific focus on the need for continued social interaction and mental stimulation that are so important for a healthier aging population. Teams

work together to answer questions pooling their knowledge base, and in the case of varying answers among the team members, choosing which answer to submit. Every Senior Center across the state is participating in these games.

“I think we have a very good team,” said the center’s director Hollie Knight. “It amazes me at how much they know.”

The team, made up of Glenda Barron, Faye McCormick and Lynn Crow will next compete on Sept. 13 at the Southwest Tennessee Development District in Jackson Tenn.

They will face the Benton County

SES paints the walls for leadership

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Teachers, students and volunteers worked all summer painting the walls of Selmer Elementary School in conjunction with the Leader in Me program.

“It was a group effort,” said SES teacher Meg Day. “We were inspired by different things, maybe things that we like. We just wanted the school to be kid-friendly and open so the kids would be excited about coming to school and feel comfortable and happy here,” Day explained.

The Leader in Me is a new program.

“First of all, you’ve got to look at your self and make sure you have everything right in your life and then you are creating new leaders every day in your classroom.

You find their strengths and you build on that. You be proactive and we work together,” Day said.

There are several different habits that teachers and students work to inculcate.

These are making SES a friendly school and having the students take pride in the school.

“We’re all being leaders and having the students be leaders,” Day said.

As a result of the program, students are keeping the bathrooms and the school clean.

“You can already see and change and we’ve just been here 16 days,” Day observed.

“Last year we visited a couple of

schools to see what they had done and that’s where we got inspired to give the school a makeover,” Day said.

“It’s amazing what a little paint can do to it,” Day said about the school.

SES is one of the first schools in the area to implement the program, according to Principal Pam Killingsworth. One Hardin County school is the only nearby school that is also using the program.

“It’s a very positive motivational program that gets the kids to become a leader themselves, to start taking charge of what they are doing in school. It promotes a positive self-esteem. It’s really good,” Killingsworth said.

“It’s about the child becoming a leader for himself at school, just for himself and for the classroom,” Killingsworth said.

Killingsworth said that the program has helped students in other schools become better learners.

“The kids become a leader themselves and they start taking charge of their own learning and they become so involved in doing all these positive things that they want to learn and they want to make themselves more aware of what is going on,” Killingsworth said.

The program is being paid for out of a grant.

“When we were writing the grant, I thought, ‘I’ve got to have that program,’” Killingsworth.

The new leadership program comes on the heels of the anti-bulling program SES began last year.

CLARIFICATION

In last week's issue, we reported on a conversation at the Eastview monthly meeting in which the town's mayor relayed a comment from a potential local business owner concerning the possibility of Sunday beer in the community. During the conversation, Mayor Jessie Robbins said that the business owner stated the need for Sunday beer sales at the package store in order to compete with the Top 'O the River restaurant in Michie. It should be noted that Top 'O the River does not now, nor have they ever, sold beer on Sundays.

Janice Durbin, Michie’s city recorder said the town’s ordinance does not allow Sunday Beer sales, however both Adamsville and Bethel Springs allow Sunday sales after noon.

Stolen trailer found in Mississippi

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The McNairy County Sheriff's Department is seeking custody of two men arrested in Baldwin, Miss., in connection with the theft of a car trailer which was reported missing last week.

Casey Scott Wilson, 22, of 298 Falcon Road, Selmer and Christopher A. Jeffcoat, 26, of 146 Third St., also in Selmer, were arrested on unrelated charges and they were found in possession of the 18 foot car trailer taken from Race Path Rd. in Selmer,

according to an incident report provided by the McNairy County Sheriff's Department.

Jeffcoat said that he and Casey took the trailer and took it to Baldwin to sell it at a car lot.

The trailer was last seen on Aug. 26 and noticed to be missing on Aug. 27.

The sheriff's department has a hold on these prisoners, who are in the Prentiss County Jail. When released from Mississippi, the two will be returned to McNairy County where they will face trespassing and theft charges.

Broom-maker keeps traditional folk-art traditions alive for a new generation Submitted Article McNairy Regional Alliance

If you wander off Highway 142 in rural McNairy County, Tennessee you just might find Jack Martin hard at work in his small shed producing products that ship all over the world. While Jack is steadily at work most days, his products are not mass produced; instead Jack’s products are made in one’s and two’s by hand. There are no computers, no assembly lines and no automation. So, what types of products are produced in Jack’s shop that are in demand all around the world? Brooms and drumsticks. That’s right, brooms and drumsticks.

Jack lives a life that harkens back to a simpler time and lifestyle, a life that leans on doing things the old fashioned way.

That way began with Jack’s great grandfather Will Hockaday in the early 1900’s. Like many rural farmers, Will Hockaday had to rely on various trades to make a living for his family. Broom-making was one of those trades. Will’s journey as a broommaker began when he found a photograph of broom-making machinery; which led him to build his own equipment. He took

parts off of old farm equipment and built the Broom Wrapping Table, also called a Kicker Table. This was used to attach the broomcorn to the wood handle and the Broom Press to flatten out the broom, and sew the broom flat.

The broom-making trade was passed along the generations until the birth of Jack in 1953. Jack has not only continued the family tradition of broom-making, he has taken it in directions his grandfathers would’ve most likely never imagined.

While they are produced one at a time, Jack’s brooms have various themes, designs and purposes. He even has one that pays tribute to the Harry Potter series. His products are shipped overseas and are even on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington. In addition to his many brooms, Jack has launched a line of broomcorn drumsticks that are distributed through ProMark and is endorsed by Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.

And they too are produced one at a time.

Jack’s love for the old ways prompted him and his family to launch an event that spotlighted other traditional folk artists.

Now in its 18th year the event known as the Broomcorn Festival features a lineup that

includes blacksmithing, quilting, pottery making, stained glass and more. The event even features a full lineup of old timey Bluegrass music.

“All of the events and exhibitions that take place at the Broomcorn Festival are done in the same way that they have been done for hundreds of years,” said Martin.

“It’s like stepping back in time. It’s especially good for the young ones to see the old ways. One day those of us that are doing it will be gone and hopefully some of them will want to continue these traditions.”

Known as one of the top folk art festivals, the Broomcorn Festival regularly attracts thousands of locals and visitors who are interested in not only observing the demonstrations, but buying the products.

“These are products that you can’t purchase off the shelves of a national chain retail store,” said chamber of commerce representative Russell Ingle. “During this one day event you’ll find everything from homemade soap, one of a kind carvings, preserves and yes, even Jack’s world famous brooms. Much of these items are hard to find, so it’s a great opportunity to stock up for personal use or for gift items.”

Adamsville hosts Music Fest Saturday

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

The 6th annual Music Fest will hit Main Street of Adamsville this Saturday for a weekend you’ll never forget.

The streets of Adamsville will be transformed into a dance floor of sorts as visitors enjoy one of the best annual festivals McNairy County has to offer.

Last year’s event was a success despite the near constant rain which dumped on event-goers throughout the day, however all current forecasts call for sunny weather all day for this year’s event.

Adamsville Mayor David Leckner encouraged McNairy County residents to come out and enjoy the live music, food and events.

“It looks like we are going to have some good

weather and will not get rained out like we did last year,” Leckner said. “I hope to see a lot of folks out there and hope everyone has a great time.”

This year’s event will feature all of the favorite activities from year’s past including crafts and street vendors on Main Street, live music and street dancing, karaokee and the ever popular fastest man and fastest woman race.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation is increasing educational requirements for its employees. All operations workers, including construction and mechanics, will be required to either have a high school diploma or a general education degree by Sept. 1, 2015, according to Nichole Lawrence, the TDOT West Tennessee Community Relations Officer.

TDOT will actively assist any employee who does not have a diploma or GED. It will reimburse the exam fee for any employee who gets their GED between Oct. 1, 2012 and Sept. 1, 2015. Any employee not fulfilling the educational requirements by the deadline will be subject to a reduction in force or the loss of their job.

“We’ve had some folks from TDOT who have already contacted us and are going to be starting classes with us,” said Ryan Franks Wayne/Hardin/McNairy County Adult Education Supervisor.

There are about 50 employees in West Tennessee who do not have

their GEDs, Lawrence said.

This requirement is part of the TDOT regional maintenance and construction merge plan.

One of the objectives of this plan is to improve overall workforce skills and capabilities.

“Having a high school diploma or GED, it increases the employee’s core competencies,” Lawrence said.

Other requirements of the plan are that technical and supervisory construction staff will be required to have a commercial driver’s license. They will also be required to pass drug and alcohol tests. There are about 400 employee’s statewide who do not have their CDL. Field engineers, construction and maintenance office supervisors, district managers and the graduate transportation associate will be required to have a bachelor or master of science degree in civil engineering from an accredited college or university.

District and regional engineers will be required to have an active status registration with the state as a professional engineer.

TDOT to increase education requirements

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2013

Rather than outsourcing, Monogram Refrigeration, along with the rest of GE, is insourcing, according to Mike Johnson, Monogram Engineering Design Leader.

Johnson explained how this came to be in a meeting and plant tour with area elected officials.

U. S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks, Selmer Mayor David Robinson and McNairy Regional Alliance Executive Director Ted Moore toured the Selmer plant and heard how GE, which is the parent company of Monogram, went from outsourcing a few years ago, to insourcing and how this has strengthened the company.

As a result of this new strategy, GE has invested $1 billion and created 1,300 new jobs since 2010.

Johnson explained that over the past 20 years prices have fallen and wages have risen, squeezing profits.

Falling prices are in part due to increased competition for GE. In the 1990s, GE, Maytag and Whirlpool were the household brands that consumers would see in the stores.

“Now you add in LG and Samsung and its gotten significantly more competitive out there,” Johnson said.

These companies are very aggressive in their pricing, Whirlpool filed an antidumping lawsuit against these and other foreign washing machine manufacturers before the U.

S. International Trade Commission, which it won in January. Dumping is selling products below cost.

As a result of these pricing pressures, from the 1970s to the 2000s, GE was forced to find ways to cut the costs of production.

“We were shipping as much offshore as we possibly could,” Johnson said.

The appliance department in Louisville, Ky. fell to 1,500 employees from its peak of 25,000 in the 1970s.

It would cost U. S. manufacturers $460 to make a product that could be made for $400 in Asia.

As a result, the marketing, sales and technology people were in the U. S., while the manufacturing people were in China.

“The first couple of years it was great because everyone who knew how to make things was still sitting in the building and we could just make things really cheap, but 10 years later you would lose a lot of institutional knowledge, forget how to make stuff,” Johnson said.

“Some people sitting over here designing stuff aren’t designing things as efficiently as they can and a lot of that’s masked because your labor is cheap,” Johnson added.

These problems led to the company calling a timeout, Johnson said.

At the end of this period, the company decided to bring as much productive capacity as possible back to the U. S. This meant a large investment,

using new techniques, workforce training and working with unions.

“We’re now producing things cheaper in the U. S. than we were in China a couple of years ago,” Johnson said.

GE closed down a refrigerator factory in Mexico and a hot water heater plant in China and moved both to Louisville, as they did the washing machine and dryer factory. They also moved large chunks of dishwasher manufacturing to Louisville.

At satellite plants like Selmer, they are moving production of parts they used to outsource back here.

“As you walk through the floor out there, you’ll see we’re fabricating different parts of the refrigerator that we never used to fabricate before,” Johnson said.

“So now we’re going through this insourcing movement, which is fantastic, because we’re bringing jobs back to the facility. We’re making stuff here in America,” Johnson added.

Consumers are willing to pay a little more for goods made in America, where they would not 10 years ago, Johnson said.

Ten years ago, where the product was made was only in the top 8 or 9 factors in consumers’ buying decisions. Now it is in the top five, Johnson said.

“It’s been good to see the country swing around that way because it has made a lot of things possible,” Johnson said.

Various indicators of the local economy were mixed in July.

Economic activity was strongest in real estate. There were 39 homes sold, according to Realtytrac. This was five more than the previous month and 10 more than in August 2012. Foreclosures fell from seven last month to six, the same number as a year ago.

Retail sales tax collections was the weakest indicator, taking a 20 percent plunge from the previous month to $235,000, according to the Tennessee Department of Revenue. This represented a five percent decrease from a year ago.

Sales taxes are a percentage of retail sales but are not collected on all items and are collected at a lower rate on some items, such as food.

Measures of unemployment were mixed, with the July rate falling 0.3 percentage points to 11.4 percent, according to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The unemployment rate was 10.3 percent a year ago.

The labor force shrank by 140 people.

There were 90 fewer people working and

50 fewer people officially counted as unemployed.

There were two new foreclosure filings in Bethel Springs and one in Selmer, Adamsville, Guys and Michie.

The county foreclosure rate was 0.04 percent, the same as in the state and and less than the 0.10 percent nationally. The foreclosure rate was 0.40 percent in Guys, 0.13 percent in Bethel Springs 0.07 percent in Michie, 0.03 percent in Adamsville and 0.02 percent in Selmer. Figures for the other towns were unavailable.

There were 11 homes sold in Selmer in July, nine in Adamsville, six in Michie, four in Stantonville, three in Ramer, two each in Bethel Springs and Finger, and one each in Guys and Milledgeville.

Except for Hardeman County, with an unemployment rate of 11.7 percent, all surrounding counties had a lower unemployment rate than ours.

At 7.6 percent, Alcorn County, Miss. had the lowest unemployment rate of surrounding counties, followed by 9.5 percent in Chester County and 9.9 percent in Hardin County. Unemployment figures for Alcorn County are from the Mississippi Department of Employment Security.

Sales tax takes a hit in July, unemployment at 11.4%

in 79 counties in the state, fell in 12 and was unchanged in four. The preliminary unemployment rate for the state was 8.5 percent in July, unchanged from June.

The lowest unemployment rate in the state was in Williamson County, near Nashville, at 5.8 percent. At 17.2 percent, the highest was in Scott County in East Tennessee along the Kentucky state line.

The national unemployment rate for July was 7.4 percent, down 0.2 percentage points from the previous month.

The number of people employed was unchanged at 144 million, the ranks of the unemployed fell 263,000 to 11.5 million and the labor force fell by 37,000 to 155.8 million. Counting those who have given up looking for work and who are working part-time but want full time employment, the unemployment rate was 14 percent, down from 14.3 percent the previous month. The average length of unemployment was 36.6 weeks, down from 35.6 weeks the previous month.

The state unemployment rate is seasonally adjusted while the county rates are not. Seasonal adjustment is a statistical technique that eliminates the influence of weather, holidays, the opening and closing of schools and other recurring seasonal events.

Opinion

PAGE 6A v INDEPENDENT APPEAL

Independent Appeal

Last Tuesday, congressional leaders joined White House calls for military strikes against Syria. As our nation sits on the brink of entering another military conflict in the Middle-East, both of our state’s U.S. senators have weighed in on our possible involvement in the ongoing Syrian conflict. To date, the conflict has claimed more than 100,000 lives. Recent revelations that Syrian Government forces have used chemical weapons to help turn the tide of war has increased calls for the U.S. to step in using military force to stop the blood shed. Here is what your elected representatives have to say about military action in Syria.

U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander

Immediately following the president’s remarks on Syria (on Aug. 31), U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) participated in a briefing by telephone with Secretary of State John Kerry, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. He released the following statement: “Under our Constitution the president should seek authorization from Congress before his proposed military action. I’m concerned about the consequences of a military strike in Syria, and what happens with step two, three and four after that. There may be a variety of ways, some military and some not, to show our disgust with the Syrian government’s apparent use of chemical weapons against its own people. Since the president’s proposed action appears not to be for the purpose of overthrowing the Assad government, during the congressional debate I will assess whether a military strike would do more harm than good by setting off a chain of consequences that could involve American fighting men and women in another long-term Middle Eastern conflict.”

Do you watch college football? Why or why not?

Rachel Cupples (Finger):

Paul D. Sweat (Adamsville):

June Gant (Adamsville):

“No, sir. I don’t care a thing about football.

There are too many sports on TV. We can’t watch the news sometimes for the football games.”

“Every chance I get because I just like college football.”

“I just got in it with my husband. He won’t miss a one.”

Jimmy Robertson (Adamsville): “I watch college football because of all the prepping for the games and everything that goes on in the game.”

Jamie Hendry (Leapwood): “Sometimes. I watch Alabama.”

Angelina Pugh (Leapwood/ Enville): “No, I don’t. I have a sevenyear-old and we don’t have satellite, so not much football time.”

DOODLES

U.S. Sen. Bob Corker

Last Monday, Sen. Corker (R-Tenn.) made the following statement regarding hearings...this week to consider legislation authorizing the use of U.S. military force in response to the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons in Syria. “Congress’s role in U.S. military force has too often been abdicated to presidential authority, so I look forward to a vigorous debate on this important authorization,” said Corker.

“The American people deserve to hear more from the administration about why military action in Syria is necessary, what it will achieve and how it will be sufficiently limited to keep the U.S. from being drawn further into the Syrian conflict. Now that the president has decided to use force and seek authorization, he must immediately use every resource appropriate in making his case to the public before this potentially defining vote in Congress.”

PUBLIC SAFETY

Texting while driving can be avoided with technology

By Lois Larimore X Text Technologies Texting while driving is a habit that could turn deadly. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration if you are texting while driving you are 23 times more likely to become involved in an accident. If you text while you drive you may as well have a seeing eye dog or a white cane because texting while driving is the same as being blind for five seconds according to the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.

Over 800,000 drivers are texting every second across the United States. By doing so, they are reducing their brake reaction speed by as much as 18 percent. If you are in the habit of texting while driving, you might as well have had a couple of brews because according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Adminis-

tration texting while driving is the same as consuming four beers.

According to the National Safety Council 1.6 million accidents occur every year because of texting while driving and accounts for almost 25 percent of all vehicle accidents. Every day there are eleven teen deaths in America because of texting while driving. In fact, texting while driving is the number one cause of death among driving teenagers.

If you are tempted to start texting while driving, turn off your cell phone before you get in the car. Put your phone in the glove compartment, in a bag, or in your purse. No text message or phone call is worth your life or the lives of others. If you must text or call while you are driving, pull off the road and stop completely. Break the texting while driving habit by letting your friends and family members know that if your phone goes

straight to voice mail it means that you are unavailable.

It is vital that you take control over your cell phone.

Never let it control your life. You are the only person who can decide if and when you read or send a message on your cell phone.

Parents and others can take the process one step further with a texting while driving device. XText Technologies is a device that easily installs into any vehicle.

Once a driver reaches 10 MPH, the driver’s cell phone only is disabled. If the speed is reduced to less than 10 mph, cell phone functionality is fully restored.

Helping Xtext Technologies into production can help avoid 330,000 accidents per year. Every little bit helps. Donate today and help save lives with XText Technologies.

Don’t ever miss a chance to show someone you care

By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor

This week I was in my office when I saw a couple who had come to our home to visit with the residents. Darryl and Marty Melton have a story to tell all their own. I knew Mrs. Marty was in a terrible accident several years ago that had left her with many health problems. Her husband, Darryl, had helped care for her since that time. Mr. Darryl was also in an accident several years ago when I still worked at the hospital in the Emergency Room. I assure you I still remember that day and Mr. Darryl, Anita Stevens and I was working on this day and soon after our patient came in we both realized it was Mr. Darryl. We both knew how he was caring for his wife and her primary care giver. Anita and I both stayed with Mr. Darryl when he went to x-ray and made sure when the time come for him to be transported we both wanted to make sure he was given the care he deserved. He had several injuries and all we could think about was who would care for Mrs. Marty? There were several concerned friends who came to provide moral support for Mr. Darryl. Now I worked in the ER for several years and had a lot of people I would go home and worry about them and their families. Mr. Darryl was one of them.

When I asked him if he remembered me he said, “No but we still had a great visit.” I also had the privilege to go listen to Mrs. Marty as she played and sang for our patients. I cannot tell you how much that blessed me. This kind lady who has so many health problems herself came to make a day brighter for the folks who live in our home. Mr. Darryl told me she has just recently started playing the guitar and really seems to enjoy singing for our folks.

As I watched this great lady giving back to others I thought what have I done lately? There is always someone who needs what you have to offer, a kind word, a smile, a song. Whatever you can share to make someone else’s day brighter. I really enjoyed the visit from this great man and his beautiful wife. I am so glad I was one of the nurses in the ER that day and hope God used me to make a difference to someone else. Mr. Darryl gave me a story and a CD he has written about their journey and how God has used them both. Can God use you? So many of us say I

Marty Melton plays for the residents at McNairy County Health Care Center. have nothing to offer and to that I say REALLY. As the song on the CD Mr. Darryl gave me says, “never miss a chance to tell someone you care, it may be the last chance you have.” When you have the opportunities join me in telling these two great folks what a blessing they are to our community.

Every day is a blessing to you and me. Were you able to get up this morning? Then you, my friend, are very blessed. Share that blessing with someone else.

Mrs. Marty, I loved the sound and enjoyed the music as well as our patients. Mr. Darryl, God blesses you and I am sure glad we had the chance to visit.

Until next time.

Big catch for McCormick in 1940 The late Emmitte McCormick of Gravel Hill proudly displays his days catch following a trip to the Pickwick Dam in the 1940’s.

Beat the Heat Watermelon Lemonade

You will need: •1 cup sugar •1/ 4 cup water •2 cups peeled, seeded and diced watermelon •1 cup lemon juice •1 quart carbonated water In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and water. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Let cool ten minutes.

Meanwhile, place the watermelon and lemon juice in the container of a blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher. Discard any solids. Add the sugar syrup to the watermelon mixture, stirring to blend. Cover and refrigerate at least four hours.

When ready to serve, stir in the carbonated water.

Serve immediately over ice.

Yield: 2 quarts

We had a very exciting August here at the Selmer Senior Center.

On August 6th, we had the Brain Game tryouts.

The team selected was Faye McCormick, Lynn Crow, and Glynda Barron. On August 22nd they represented our Center at Jackson at the district level where they won the trophy! They now compete September 13th at Jackson to determine who will advance to the state competition October 18th.

We are so proud of them.

Hollie and Shelia made us delicious soup and egg custard pie on the 8th. The price was kleenex which we donated to Selmer Middle School. Good lunch and a good cause.

Before lunch we had show and tell. Some of the things shown were: Shelia brought her handkerchief collection, Parker brought a miniature iron cook stove, Michael brought wagon and team memorabilia,

Tommy Turner and Hollie Knight Faye brought an old family picture and Margaret brought a memory quilt she had made. Very interesting, thanks to all.

On August 15th, El-

vis was in the building.

In fact four Elvis’s were here. Tommy Turner, an Elvis tribute artist who travels all over making appearances as El-

vis, treated us to a great show. Then Randy Hall and Tommy Walker also did a great job dressing as Elvis and a whole lot of shaking was going on!

Our snack was peanut butter and banana sandwiches, an Elvis favorite. Even Hollie showed up in that famous white suit! Thanks to all of you for the fun day.

West Tennessee Health Care sent representatives on August 19th to trim toe nails for anyone in the area who needs that help. That was appreciated by everyone who had it done.

We’ve had lots of educational presentations this month and learned lots of things. A very tasty one was on crockpot cooking done by Hollie. She brought recipes and also a sample of Peach Dump, like a cobbler but done in the crock pot. Very good.

Do something nice for someone else, it will make you both feel better. Until next month this is Margaret White, Bethel Springs, Tenn.

Bobcats corral the Aggies

By Sarah Rowland Sports Writer

The Bobcats claimed their first victory of the season 16-10 against the Aggies of Kossuth, Miss. last Friday at Don Whitaker stadium.

“Any win we get right now is good,” said Coach Charlie Dampeer. However, he still laments the team’s small size saying, despite the win, the Bobcats struggled.

“We’re small and couldn’t get the edge; couldn’t lock the edge,” said Dampeer.

In the first quarter the Aggies made the first touchdown of the game after an interception. Bobcat Jarret Mood ran the ball left and right along the Aggies 20 yardline before finding an opening and advancing 15 yards. The first quarter ended 0-7 for the Aggies.

Bobcat Isaac Cagle earned the Bobcat’s first touchdown of the game and score of 7-6 for the Aggies in the second quarter.

While the Bobcat offense chose to run the ball more, the Aggies threw several long passes though many were incomplete.

In the third quarter, Bobcat defense played well with Reg-

Cardinals tame Tigers in Bolivar

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The Adamsville Cardinals made their way to Bolivar, Tenn., last Friday night and came home with a solid win against the Tigers

Zak Neary breaks through the line on his way to one of his three touchdowns against the Tigers last Friday night.

The Cardinals opened the game with a strong intensity that would continue throughout the game. Adamsville wasted little time getting the momentum on their side and taking control of the game.

Early in the first quarter it was Zak Neary who found the end zone first, powering his way in for the four yard score.

Will Linam would go on to add the extra point and the Cardinals would take the early lead.

Just before the end of the first quarter, it was Neary once again running well and finding the end zone. With the extra point again added by Linam the Cards would

take a 14-0 lead into the second half.

“I told them, hey we were down 14 points last week and we came back,” said head coach Brandon Gray. “We cannot let up, we have to continue to play hard and execute.”

Adamsville did just that, they came out in the start of the second quarter and they executed their offense just as they had been in the first quarter. It only took two minutes off the clock before Neary once again found his way into the end zone for his third touchdown of the contest. Linam again tacked on the extra point and the Cards were looking at a 21-0 lead.

However, mid-way through the second quarter the Tigers did gain a little momentum of their own. The “bend but do not break” Adamsville defense, led by Junior linebacker Jacob Dengler, bent a little too far and the Tigers found their way into the end zone through the air ending the shut out and getting 6 points on the home side

Bobcats strike well against the Tigers

By Sarah Rowland Sports Writer

The Lady Bobcats took the win in golf over Bolivar last Tuesday at Selmer Golf & Country Club with a final score of 92-99.

Valerie Jones and Sarah Stanfield contributed individual scores of 46 while Kristen Rowsey finished with a score of 52. Though the Lady Bobcats took the win overall, Bolivar golfer Leah Parks claimed the medal as the best scorer with a score of 42.

Stanfield played particularly well on two holes about midway through the course said one spectator.

On a fairway that hooked around some trees, Rowsey hit an exceptional drive through the limbs with the ball landing on the fairway on the other side.

The Lady Bobcats fared better in the nine hole match than their male teammates who fell to Bolivar by just one point with a final score of 153-152.

John Hunter Powers was the top scorer for the Bobcats with a score of 35 followed by Hunter Foote, 36, Matt Chandler, 41, Dilan Miller, 41, and Briley Taylor,

42. Bolivar golfer John Sain, though, took the medal as best scorer with a score of 34.

The Bobcats competed against Bolivar again, along with Lexington and Southside, last Thursday in a match played at Pinetree Golf Club in Lexington, Tenn.

The Bobcat boys finished second with a score of 159 behind Bolivar, 155, and followed by Southside, 164, in third place and Lexington, 165, in fourth. The Lady Bobcats also came in second with a score of 94 behind Lexington, 92, and followed by Bolivar, 101, in third.

Junior Cards open with win over Blue Devils

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The Adamsville junior Cardinals played host to in county rival Michie last week, and came away with a huge win over the Blue Devils.

Cardinals 28 Blue Devils 14

It was a hot day in Adamsville, Tenn., as the Cardinals got off to a hot start against the Blue Devils.

The Cardinals came out and tried to set the tone early by running the ball and being physical with the smaller Blue Devils. They were able to succeed in the first quarter and got on the board first with a touchdown run from Lucas Turnbow. The Cards’ Mason McCann added the two point conversion putting Adamsville up 8-0 with three minutes left in the quarter.

It was not long before the Devils came up with a answer, when Clint Coleman got away from the defense, and into the end zone. With just seconds left in the first quarter Coleman then added on the two point conversion, and tied the game 8-8.

Half way through the second quarter the Cards were able to answer back. Mason McCann took the ball with 5 minutes left in the second quarter and made his way into the end zone giving the Cards a 14-8 lead and momentum going towards halftime.

After the break it only took the Cardinals a few minutes to get back to the end zone, when Woody Hancock made his way into the end zone and gave the Redbirds a 20-8 lead. The Cardinals were successful in adding the two point conversion.

The two teams went back and forth fighting for position and momentum when the Cardinals were able to get in the end zone again in the fourth quarter.

It was again Hancock that got away from the defense and scored putting the Cards up 28-8.

On the following kickoff Clint Coleman took the ball for the Blue Devils and made his way all the way down the field for the touchdown. Coleman was able

to cut the lead down to 14, but there was not enough time in the game for the Devils to complete the comeback.

“We had over 100 yards of offense called back and we just ran out of gas,” said head coach Michael Cleary. “They ran more than twice the plays we did which means they controlled the ball and the line of scrimmage.”

The Devils will host the Ramer Eagles in their next match-up.

As for the Cardinals they will take the county win and hope to carry the momentum into their next game at Selmer.

“It was a great effort from both teams,” said head coach Michael Harvill. “I am very proud of the line for opening up some big holes for our backs. It was just an over all good game.

The Ladycats possessed a lot of hustle and stamina throughout the game with a strong offense that worked well maneuvering the ball down the field and taking shots, but by halftime the score remained 0-0 due to several missed shots.

In the game against Adamsville the previous week, Coach Jerry Lott had said while the offense does well getting the ball to the goal, they need to work on the accuracy of their scoring. He agreed that last Thursday’s game wasn’t an exception.

About two minutes into the second half, Larlee Williams made the first goal of the game with an assisted corner kick by Mary Kate Doyle making the score 1-0.

The Lady Cardinals are getting off to a good start to the 2013 season with recent wins over Scotts Hill High School and Wayne County High School.

Adamsville 1 Scotts Hill 0

The Cardinals got off to a slow start against the Lions, but were able to put it together and come away with a win.

The Lady Cards took 29 shots on goal against the Lions, and were able to get one of them through for their only score of the game. This goal came from Madelynn Lynch with an assist from Anna Johnson.

“We were not ready to play,” said head coach Rebecca Ashe. “I was not happy with our effort. We took 29 shots but only scored one. We have to get better if we are going to compete in our district. We did get the win but we have a lot of work to do.”

Adamsville

Wayne County

2 0

Adamsville got a early goal from Robin Moore, in the eleventh minute of the first half, which gave them the momentum for the rest of the contest.

The Lady Cards again took more than 20 shots on goal and were only able to get two in the net.

The Lady Cards went on to score again in the second half on a penalty kick by Blair Prather.

Unfortunately the game we ended early and on a low note, when a player from Wayne County was injured and taken away from the field by ambulance.

“We did some great things,” said Ashe. “We passed better than what we have been doing, our defense looked good and our shooting was better. The game ended short due to a Wayne County player getting hurt. We won but Coach White, the team and myself hope and pray that the young lady injured will be ok. As a coach you never want that for any player.”

The Cardinals will be in action against Fayette Ware in their upcoming match and hope to keep the momentum rolling through that game as well.

The Cardinals are now 3-1 for the season and looking like they may have a good season.

Volleycats win over Tigers Adamsville golf aims low

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The Adamsville golf team had their hands full last week when they took on Riverside, Scotts Hill, Hardin County and Perry County.

In each match the Cardinals have been led by Junior Stone Lipford. Lipford shot a 50 against Hardin and Perry County, while recording a 58 against Riverside and Scotts Hill.

During the Pickwick tournament, against Hardin and Perry County, the cards finished with a team team score of 228, which placed them in third place.

Along with Lipford, Hunter Butler also recorded a score of 50 while the rest of the team finished in the 60’s.

With only three members competing against Riverside and Scotts Hill, the Cardinals finished with a team score of 189.

The Cardinals this year are competing with no females members. Only the guys will be taking the course for the Redbirds and they will continue to aim low.

Ramer rolls Reagan

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The Ramer Eagles came away with a big opening win as they played host to Reagan.

Ramer 44 Reagan 08

It was once again the Kylin Wynn show, as the eighth grade running back recorded more than 100 yards in the Eagles season opener.

The Eagles had little trouble taking care of the visiting team, and got a lot of kids playing time early in the season.

Ramer was dominant on the ground, recording more than 200 yards rushing as a team.

Along with Wynn, the Eagles got a touchdown from Jhiannos Damron and Grant McMahan who returned a fumble for a score

during the game.

Ramer will have a tougher time next week as they begin county play, when they travel to Michie to take on the Blue Devils.

of the scoreboard.

It did not take the Cardinals long to respond. In the same quarter, with little more than one minute left, Jacob Wallis broke free from the defense and made his way 20 yards into the end zone to extend the Cardinals’ lead before halftime.

After the break the Redbirds continued to play well. They kept a strong presence on defense and held the Tigers at bay while the offense was able to put together another scoring drive mid-way through the third quarter.

With seven minutes left in the quarter, quarterback Seth Paul took to the air and connected with Ross Burcham for the 14 yard touchdown pass. Linam, in for the extra point, extended the Cardinal lead to 35-6.

It took just one minute of game time for the Cardinals to find the end zone yet again.

This time it was once again Wallis, on the ground, getting behind the defense and winning the foot race to the goal line, scoring from 36 yards out. Linam would come on after to add on the last points that the Cardinals would score on the night as they took the lead 42-6 going into the fourth quarter.

During the fourth quarter both teams were able to get young guys time on the field.

The Cardinals saw good things out of the young guys, like Laderrick Means recording 51 yards on six carries, but have their sights set on winning next week’s District 14-A matchup with Trinity Christian.

Kylin Wynn carries the ball downfield. Wynn had four touchdowns against Reagan last week.

Correction In last week’s issue, it was written that the Michie Blue Devils lost to the Selmer Lions 8-0 in the Jr. High Jamboree. The Blue Devils actually won the contest 8-0 over the Lions, before the game was called due to weather.

clarification In our 2013 Fall Sports Preview section last week, Makayla Belk, a freshman at McNairy Central, was left off of the roster submitted to the Independent Appeal from the school.

UT Martin online MBA earns third place ranking in the nation MARTIN, Tenn. – Affordable Colleges Online (AC Online) recently identified the 30 best online MBA programs in the nation, and the University of Tennessee at Martin is No. 3.

“To be ranked No. 3 nationally for affordability indicates the level of external recognition and offers further proof of our efforts to control costs for our students,” UT Martin Chancellor Tom Rakes said.

AC Online’s analysis factors in academic excellence, strength of faculty, student engagement and selectivity. The website also limited inclusion on the list to programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

“Colleges that offer online MBA programs give young professionals the academic flexibility they need to get ahead,” said Dan Schuessler, founder of AC Online. “What’s more, the MBA programs on our list have been recognized for academic and faculty excellence.”

The UT Martin MBA program is fully accredited

Apostolic:

by the nation’s premier business school agency, Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AASCB).

“This is just part of the reason we are able to offer an exceptional value for our students, not only in Tennessee, but throughout the nation,” Rakes said.

AC Online analyzed data from a number of sources to compile the top online MBA list: -NCES is the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education. It provides consistent, reliable, complete and accurate indicators of education status and trends.

-IPEDS is the primary federal source for data on colleges, universities and technical and vocational postsecondary schools in the U.S. -Carnegie Classification is a framework widely used in the study of higher education, both as a way to represent and control for institutional differences, and also in the design of research studies to ensure

adequate representation of sampled institutions, students or faculty.

-U.S. News & World Report is a diverse publisher of information on many subjects, including education, finance and health. Their education rankings have become a common metric for quality and a badge of honor for the academic community.

Earlier this summer AC Online ranked UT Martin fifth out of 54 colleges in most affordable online-degree programs.

“We are proud of the quality of the students who have graduated from this program (the Online MBA for Banking and Financial Services Professionals),” said Dr. Kevin Hammond, coordinator of graduate programs in business.

Hammond called the distinction “a well-deserved tribute to our faculty and administration for their foresight in the design, support and implementation of this unique program.”
