Law enforcement, educators rush to keep school safe, protect students

VOTE ON NOV. 5

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

INSIDE THIS WEEK

Early last Thursday morning authorities discovered an apparent online threat concerning Adamsville High School posted on the topix.com website. Following an intensive multi-jurisdictional investigation, authorities arrested Codey L. Vaughan, 21, of Stantonville in connection with the posting.

The arrest came after an all hands-on effort from local and state law enforcement along with McNairy County School District Administrators and AHS faculty and staff to beef up security at the high school and provide a safe environment for students in light of the threat.

The posting appeared to have been removed as of 9 a.m. last Thursday, however Charlie Miskelly, Director of McNairy County Schools said the threat came from a poster who identified himself as “Sniper” and the threat was in the form of a question which asked if there would be a shooting at AHS. Greg Martin, principal of AHS said that they were notified by law enforcement and a search was conducted of the school and the grounds prior to the students arrival last Thursday.

Adamsville Police, McNairy County Sheriff’s Deputies and Tennessee Highway Patrol were on school grounds to assist with security. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and Homeland Security agents also provided assistance in the wider investigation centered around the post.

Martin said that students were allowed absences last Thursday without penalty, but said classes at the school were still in session and many parents chose to have their stu-

dents stay. He said that the faculty followed protocol and that he felt the students were safe.

Miskelly said that no other district schools were on lockdown, but the administration at each school was notified of the situation prior to students arrival last Thursday morning.

“We feel that we have taken the appropriate steps to protect the students,” Miskelly said. “We will always be there to provide a safe environment for our students.”

Miskelly said that he felt that all district students are safe and he praised local and state law enforcement as well as the AHS faculty and administration for their professionalism in the handling of this situation.

Selmer mayoral candidates generally agreed that jobs is the top issue and on what to do about it, but disagreed on other issues at a debate held last Thursday.

The four candidates seeking the office: incumbent Mayor David Robinson, Alderman John Smith, school board member Tony Chapman and Roger Hill all participated in the debate held at the Latta Building.

The event was sponsored by the Independent Appeal, hosted by the McNairy Regional Alliance and moderated by Independent Appeal’s Managing Editor Christen Coulon.

Coulon quizzed the candidates in the first segment of the debate and then the floor was opened for audience questions.

Three of the candidates, Robinson, Smith and Chapman, agreed that jobs were the top issue in the campaign, and in general agreed that increasing education, training and community livability were the best solutions to address the problem. Hill said that drugs was the top problem and his proposed solution was to be tougher on

Selmer Mayoral Candidates Tony Chapman, John Smith, Roger Hill and David Robinson take questions last Thursday’s debate. The event was sponsored by the Independent Appeal and hosted by the McNairy Regional Alliance. big dealers and more lenient on small-time users.

The issue that created the sharpest disagreements was city employee health insurance.

Robinson favored considering a self-funded plan. He noted that the deductible for employees would drop to $1,250 from $1,500 in the Health Reimbursement Account plan from the Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan that the city adopted earlier. Robinson argued that the HRA plan was only adopted until they could find a better plan.

“Three aldermen don’t want

to look at it. They haven’t done their due diligence. Let’s have an independent consultant look at it. So far, all we’ve gotten is push back or stalling. Let’s either verify or vilify it,” Robinson said.

“They (city employees) want the plan that they have now.

This one is with a local agent.

The other one is with a Missouri company. It’s an unproven plan. Rates will probably go up,” Chapman said.

“I’m 100 percent for the insurance we have now,” Smith said.

Robinson replied that the

self-funded plan is with Companion Life, which is owned by BC/BS. Smith noted that the city pays 80 percent of the premiums for the current plan. Employees pay the other 20 percent.

“We are being bullied into a plan that is the worst thing we could have,” Smith said.

Smith said that the current plan will save the city $40,000.

Smith said he was advised to “stay away from the self-insured plan.”

Remembering the day Elvis Presley came to Bethel Springs School

By Christen Coulon and Jeff Whitten Independent Appeal Staff

Jan. 31, 1955 was a fateful day for Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and those in the audience for a legendary show at Bethel Springs School, though few knew it at the time.

Bobbie Randolph, a 1956 Bethel Springs High School graduate, attended the show.

“I was there and I remember that Elvis had a very beautiful voice and he was handsome,” Randolph said.

Randolph said that one thing that she remembers from that night is how different Elvis’ appearance was from all of the other boys she had ever seen. She said that he had long hair and a pink shirt and that no one from Bethel at that time would have ever dressed that way.

Randolph said that she had no idea at the time that Elvis would be a star.

“Had I known, I would have tried to get his autograph,” Randolph said.

She said that only one person, an older student at Bethel High School had heard of Elvis prior to the show.

Randolph remembers that the show lasted about two hours and cost about 25 cents.

“Mr. Hendrix would let a lot of people who put on programs come out and put on a show,” Randolph said. “We would just go because we were close. I was (at the Elvis con-

cert) because it was someplace to go.”

Curry Hendrix was the principal of Bethel’s School at the time.

“Looking back it was a big deal,” Randolph said. “At the time, it wasn’t.”

Johnnie Weatherford was also there.

“There just wasn’t hardly anybody there,” Weatherford said Weatherford estimates that the crowd numbered only 50 people. She had never heard of Presley before and remembers that he didn’t make much of an impression.

Weatherford had the same regret about the show as Randolph.

“I wish I had got his autograph,” Weatherford said.

Elvis seemed a little nervous to Weatherford and nearly tripped on a cord and fell.

Ell Cupples was also there. He remembers it was the year after he graduated from high school. At the time, the show did not strike him as particularly important.

“That was just somewhere to go and something to do. None of us had ever heard of Elvis Presley,” Cupples said.

Cupples remembers that the show was in a large open area, called the study hall, on the stage rather than in the gymnasium.

“You didn’t need a gymnasium for the crowd,” Cupples said.

Accompanying Elvis, were the two members of his band. As did the other people

who attended the show the thing Cupples remembers most is that Elvis nearly tripped over a cord on stage.

“He like to have torn all the equipment down. I guess he was nervous as he could be,” Cupples chuckled.

“People milled around and some of us talked to him but we had no idea of what we know now,” Cupples said.

Cupples said he probably talked to Elvis but did not remember for sure.

“It was a little while ago,” Cupples said.

“We could have made pictures. We could have got autographs. We could have got all kind of stuff, but we didn’t. I’ve always wished we had.”

Cupples related a story he heard about a gospel quartet Elvis tried out for.

“Son, you better go back to truck driving because you’ll never make it as a singer,” they are supposed to have told him.

Cupples estimated that somewhere from 25 to 40 people attended the show.

Interestingly, Cupples also thinks he was one of the last people to talk to Buford Pusser. He talked to him just before he left the fair at a Civitan booth where Pusser hung around for a good part of the night.

“Boys, I’ll see you later. I’m going home,” was the last thing Pusser said to Cupples and the other people there.

Minutes later, Cupples learned Pusser

had died in a car crash.

According to “The Boy from Tupelo” by Ernst Jorgenson, one person that Elvis did impress that night was Carl Perkins.

Perkins and his band, who were waiting for their first record to be released by record executive/producer Sam Phillips were struck by the similarities not only in music but in showmanship.

Like Perkins, Elvis danced on stage, shook his leg, played with the microphone and flirted with the girls in the audience.

These antics and the stutter were driven by nerves, but they also created a sense of excitement and urgency.

Elvis also didn’t look like any of the country singers of the day, who wore sequined suits and stood motionless as they sang and played.

Elvis played for a mere 30 minutes. His set included “That’s all Right,” “Blue Moon of Kentucky,” “Cotton Fields” and Hank Snow cover “I’m Movin’ On.” Perkins and Elvis talked briefly after the show and then Perkins drove back to Memphis. His experience at Bethel reinforced his belief that he was on the right track.

Another member of the Perkins family, brother Jay Perkins, did not think so highly of Elvis at that time. He didn’t think much of Elvis’ pink shirt, calling him a sissy and pretty boy.

DEBATE

FROM PAGE 1A

Smith charged that the rates for the self-funded plan are not firm because it is not medically underwritten.

“We keep having it shoved down our throat,” Smith said.

Robinson argued that it will be known what the city’s costs are under the self-funded plan.

“We made a disclosure because we firmed it up,” Robinson said.

Robinson, Smith and Chapman agreed that cutting spending was preferable to raising taxes in the event of a budget shortfall. Hill said that it would depend on the circumstances and perhaps a combination of the two would be required.

Robinson touted his record, noting that the town’s credit rating has improved, saving the taxpayer $3.2 million on interest. In the past eight years, he has presented a balanced budget without raising taxes every

year.

Other accomplishments cited by Robinson were the Dixie and Rockabilly Parks, the Farmers Market and the two Rockabilly murals.

Robinson reminded the audience that around 400 or 500 jobs have been created by the United Stainless and Monogram expansions and by Hospital Wing and Strata Solar coming to Selmer. He also touted the Roundup and recycling programs.

Robinson mentioned the infrastructure improvements such as the street repaving downtown and the renovation of the water system.

“You’ve got some of the finest water in the region,” Robinson said.

Chapman argued that these achievements did not go far enough.

He said that some signs and some streets in residential areas were in bad condition.

Robinson said he was studying how to pay for residential street repair.

Chapman proposed a Pay-it-Forward month and a new elementary

INDEPENDENT APPEAL v PAGE 3A

school.

“I know the value of a good education. We need a new school in Selmer,” Chapman said.

Smith stressed that he would market Selmer better than it is being done and that he would work hard for the city. He said that the relationships he has built at the state and federal level would serve him and the city well.

“I think Selmer needs a fresh start.

Selmer needs to be marketed better. I may not be the best speaker but I’m the hardest worker. I will give you 100 percent dedication everyday,” Smith said.

Chapman was critical of the robocop radar and Smith said the board should debate whether to get rid of it.

Hill proposed a youth center and provided a moment of levity in the debate.

“I just noticed that all four of us are wearing black suits. It makes me feel like an undertaker and I guess after the election, three of us may feel like the corpse,” Hill said.

confirmed that Vaughan was arrested in connection with the online threat made against Adamsville High School last Thursday morning.

He said that Vaughan was captured after authorities issued a subpoena to topix.com, the site where the alleged threat was made, for the user’s IP address. Then with the assistance of the local internet provider, authorities were able to use the IP address to determine a physical address where the posting originated.

Authorities were able to track Vaughan to a home on Gilchrist-Stantonville Road where he was arrested. Deputies seized a Marlin 30-30 rifle and a Stevens single shot 20 gauge shotgun from the home during Vaughan’s arrest.

According to a report from the sheriff’s department, Vaughan admitted to officers at that time that he did place the post in question to topix.com.

Buck said that Vaughan is charged with harassment, filing false statements and communicating a threat concerning school personnel. When asked if the suspect was likely to face additional charges, Buck said, “The District Attorney is aggressively looking at every avenue to prosecute this case.”

Buck thanked all of the law enforcement and school personnel for their hard work. Miskelly sent an auto-dialed message Thursday evening to all district faculty, staff and parents thanking them for their hard work and patience.

Author of popular historical novel ‘Jack Hinson’s One-Man War’ to hold local book signing

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Tom C. McKenney will hold a book signing Saturday at Taylor’s Grocery in Pocahontas from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

McKenney, retired Lt. Col. from the U. S. Marine Corps, will be signing copies of his book “Jack Hinson’s One-Man War.” The book is the story of how a Tennessee gentleman farmer became a Civil War sniper.

Hinson’s rifle will be on display by owner Judge Ben Hall McFarlin. It is perhaps the most famous firearm of the Civil War. Also present will be Joe McCormick, artist of the book’s dust cover and designer of the Jack Hinson solid bronze belt buckle.

The idea for the book came about in the mid-1960s when McKenney was driving through Dover, Tenn., which is about 70 miles west of Nashville, and saw a Civil War marker on the side of the road that told about a man named Jack Hinson, according to event organizer Dail O’Gwynn.

McKenney was interested in Hinson’s story and began researching it when he retired from the Marine Corps in the early 1990s.

Hinson was a well-to-do farmer located south of Dover. He had a wife, ten children, some slaves and a nice home.

When the Civil War started, Hinson was

neutral. Hinson met and was friends with Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant around the time of the Battle of Fort Donelson.

Hinson had also met with Gen. Gideon the Confederate commander of the fort and given him information about the Union forces.

Confederates surrendered the first day, but had a hard time convincing the Yankees they were surrendering, because Union forces thought they had lost the battle.

“If that hadn’t happened, it would have been a whole new ball game in the war,” O’Gwynn observed.

On Feb. 16, Hinson discovered the Rebels were going to surrender, and told Grant.

After Fort Donelson, bands of guerillas, or bushwhackers, began organizing in the Land Between the Rivers peninsula. They took potshots at the federal troops on boats and ambushed Union patrols.

This created an intense desire on the part of the Yankees to capture the bushwhackers. Union patrols were told to kill any bushwhackers they found and to kill their families, too.

Sometime in the fall of 1862, a patrol of the 5th Iowa Cavalry rode out of Fort Donelson, spotting and capturing two armed men in the woods near Dover.

The soldiers recognized George and John

Hinson as having been previously arrested for spying. They were sent to St. Louis, but released due to lack of evidence.

They protested their innocence as they were merely squirrel hunting, but the soldiers nevertheless tied them to a tree and shot them.

A lieutenant drew his sword and, in a fit of rage, decapitated them.

The troops were coming after Jack, but a doctor warned him and smoothed things over with the Yankees, according to O’Gwynn.

Jack, the boys’ father, was enraged when he found out what had happened and swore revenge. He then embarked on a blood feud.

But first, he bode his time and watched the soldiers’ routines.

Jack had earlier opposed secession.

Jack had an 18-pound .50 caliber rifle made and first took his revenge on the soldiers that killed his sons, O’Gwynn said.

Jack created his sniper’s nest in a cave on the Tennessee River. The water was swift and it took them a while to get through there, allowing Jack to pick them off. One of his victims included an officer. These were 400 or 500 yard shots with a muzzle-loader, O’Gwynn explained.

After a while, someone informed on Jack.

He then freed his slaves and moved across

the Cumberland River. Two of his daughters died in the winter.

“When things got hot on one side of the river, he would cross over to the Land Between the Lakes and he’d go to the Cumberland side and pick him off some Yankees,” O’Gwynn explained.

The rifle had 36 marks on it.

“Tom swears up and down that he killed 100,” O’Gwynn said.

This is because Jack only put a mark on his rifle when he could confirm a kill.

After the war, Jack gave the rifle to Nathan Bedford Forrest, for whom he had served as a guide at Johnsonville, just across the Tennessee River from Camden, in Nov. 1864. Forrest gave the rifle to his adjutant, Maj. Charles W. Anderson from Murfreesboro. It was passed down from the families until it came into the possession of Judge McFarlin. McFarlin didn’t recognize the significance of the rifle until McKenney saw it. It was McFarlin’s toy when he was young.

This will be the only time you will see in this area the author, the rifle and the judge in one place.

McKenney is planning to retire from book tours due to his age, O’Gwynn said.

“It’s quite a big deal,” O’Gwynn said.

“His talk is really interesting and the Judge’s will be, too,” O’Gwynn added.

Four guns were stolen from a Ramer residence on Sept. 6, according to an incident report provided by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department.

Deputy Ricky Finley responded to a call from the owner of the dwelling. He told Finley that he returned home from work and his house had been broken into.

Finley saw that the window on the side entrance door had been broken from the outside.

The owner said that four shotguns had been taken, but nothing else. A black and stainless .410, Marlin 30-30 with a commemorative medallion in the stock and a stainless scope, a Ted Williams .20 gauge shotgun with a Winchester barrel and a stainless Mossburg 500 .12 gauge with a black stock.

The crime is still under investigation, according to Inv. Robert Hitchborn.

McNairy sales tax collections rise in August

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The direction of the local economy last month depended upon which indicator and time frame you looked at. Compared to the previous month, the unemployment rate and home sales fell, but sales tax collections rose and foreclosures were unchanged.

Compared to a year ago, unemployment and home sales rose, but sales tax collections and foreclosures fell.

Retail sales tax collections rose nearly 7 percent from July to August to nearly $252,000, according to the Tennessee Department of Revenue, but this was down nearly 13 percent 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.

There were 38 homes sold in August, according to Realtytrac. This was one less than the previous month but eight more than in August 2012. Foreclosures held steady at six, compared to the previous month, but fell one over the past year.

Measures of unemployment were mixed, with the August rate falling 0.2 percentage points to 11.2 percent, according to the Tennessee Department of Labor

and Workforce Development. The unemployment rate was 10.1 percent a year ago.

The labor force increased by 40 people. There were 20 more people working but 20 more people officially counted as unemployed.

There were four new foreclosure filings in Adamsville, and one in Selmer and Stantonville in August.

Numbers were not available for any of the other towns.

The county foreclosure rate was 0.04 percent, less than the 0.06 percent rate in the state and the 0.10 percent rate nationally. The foreclosure rate was 0.18 percent in Stantonville, 0.13 percent in Adamsville and 0.02 percent in Selmer.

There were eight homes sold in Selmer and Adamsville in August, six in Bethel Springs, five in Stantonville, three in Michie and Ramer and one in Milledgeville.

Except for Hardeman County, with an unemployment rate of 11.4 percent, all surrounding counties had a lower unemployment rate than ours.

At 7.5 percent, Alcorn County, Miss. had the lowest unemployment rate of surrounding counties, followed by 9.1 percent in Chester County and 9.8 percent in Hardin County. Unemployment figures for Alcorn County are from the Mississippi Department of Employment Security.

The unemployment rate decreased in 77 counties in the state, rose in nine and was unchanged in nine. The preliminary unemployment rate for the state was 8.5 percent in August, unchanged from July.

The lowest unemployment rate in the state was in Lincoln County, in Middle Tennessee along the Alabama state line, at 5.9 percent. At 16.2 percent, the highest was in Scott County in East Tennessee along the Kentucky state line.

The national unemployment rate for August was 7.3 percent, down 0.1 percentage points from the previous month. The number of people employed fell by 115,000 to 144.2 million, the ranks of the unemployed fell 198,000 to 11.3 million and the labor force fell by 312,000 to 155.5 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 13.7 percent, down from 14 percent the previous month. The average length of unemployment was 37 weeks, up from 36.6 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.

The website also contains information and links to help you prepare for an earthquake. It includes drill manuals, emergency supply kits and disaster preparedness plans.

Tennessee lies in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Earthquakes in the central or eastern U. S. affect larger areas than earthquakes of similar magnitude in the west. For example, the magnitude 7.8 San Francisco earthquake in 1906 was felt 350 miles away in central Nevada. The 1811 New Madrid earthquake rang church bells 1,000 away miles in Boston.

In 1811, the area was less populated with many fewer structures. If an earthquake of similar magnitude were to occur today, the damage and loss of life would be drastically worse. Many of the structures in West Tennessee are especially vulnerable from the severe ground shaking that would occur during an earthquake, according to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency.

“We hope that you will join us in making a safer and better prepared Tennessee,” said Cecil Whaley, Tennessee Earthquake Program Manager for TEMA.

Earthquake ShakeOut Drill coming Oct. 17

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

McNairy County Emergency Management Director Rudy Moore is asking individuals, organizations, schools and businesses to participate in the Great Central U.S. ShakeOut Drill, an earthquake preparedness drill.

The drill will be on Oct. 17 at 10:17 a.m. Federal, state and local emergency management experts agree that Drop, Cover and Hold is the correct procedure in the event of an earthquake. Drop to the floor. Take cover under a sturdy desk or table and hold on until the shaking stops.

If there is not a desk or table in the room, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building. Do not run into another room just to find a desk or table. There is information on the website about what to do if you are outside.

In order to participate, go to www.shakeoutus.org/centralus and click “How to Participate” on the menu. Register in order to be counted in the drill.

NOTICE

The City of Adamsville Utilities is converting all of its residential gas and water meters to a new mobile read electronic reading system utilizing Master Meter water meters and Master Meter gas meter transponders. The reason for this change is meter accuracy, reading efficiency, better customer service and water conservation. The City’s contractor will be performing water meter replacements and transponder installation door-to-door begining the fourth week in September 2013. It will take several months to reach final completion.

The City of Adamsville’s contractor American Utility Contractors will be working in your neighborhood soon. The contractor will have their vehicles and employees identified with company name and logo.

With completion of the new mobile electronics meter reading system, it will replace the present way the City reads meters which consists of walking by and reading both gas and water meters. City of Adamsville’s Meter Reader will have the ability to drive down the streets in our service areas and read the water and gas meters simultaneously. The data that we receive from the meters consists of the current consumption reading, usage history, along with tamper and leak detection information that will allow us to be more efficient in the City’s utility billing department.

For further information please contact Adamsville Utility Department at 731-632-1401 Monday through Friday 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.

The City will have personnel on call all other times.

McNAIRY VOICES What should Congress do about Obamacare?

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

Beginning at 12:01 a.m. last Tuesday morning, the U.S. government was officially shutdown.

The shutdown is only the second such occurrence since our nation began, and it came as Congress failed to come up with a spending bill to fund government services which is required beginning Oct. 1 each year.

The shutdown was a result of a long standoff between Tea Party aligned Congressmen and the President over funding of the new medical insurance bill, “The Affordable Care Act” which has became known as Obamacare.

As the clock struck midnight, more than 800,000 federal employees were put on furlough, which means that they will not work and they will not be receiving checks. If the shutdown lingers, that number could climb even higher, but most of the 3.3 million federal employees are deemed essential and will continue to work during a shutdown.

What does this mean for McNairy County? In the short term: very little.

Aside from a few employees who are directly employed by the federal government, life will go on here as if nothing happened.

In fact, for most citizens, it will be business as usual. Social Security checks will still get mailed and other government benefits will continue, federal law enforcement and other essential services will continue, and the NSA will continue to listen to your phone calls and read your email.

But an extended shutdown could interrupt unemployment checks and could trickle down to other industries affecting the overall economy.

Congress was able to agree on a last minute bill which will guarantee checks for our military service members, however within weeks our injured veterans could see an interruption in their disability pay.

So who still gets paid? Apparently Congress has planned ahead. Counting on their own ineptitude, the silver haired millionaires on Capitol Hill have built in continuous pay schedules for most federal employees, essential services and of course for themselves.

That is right. Even with the government in shutdown and nearly a million hourly and salaried lowwage government employees now struggling to make ends meet, the politicians who caused this entire mess will still get their paychecks.

Due to the 27th Amendment, ironically passed shortly before the last shutdown, Congressmen are barred from raising or lowering their own salaries during the current Congressional term.

While nothing (except greed) is preventing them from giving up their own salaries during the shutdown this seems like an unlikely outcome.

The shutdown is really just the tip of the iceberg as the Oct. 17 debt ceiling is fast approaching. If our “leaders” in Washington don’t get their act together this could actually mean a real shutdown. If the debt limit isn’t raised, our government will actually run out of money.

It seems unlikely that Congress will drag their feet too long on the debt limit, because with the government totally broke, our congressmen would have nothing left to fleece from their fellow citizens.

I am tired of the bickering, ill will and lack of productivity demonstrated by our elected representatives. I think we would all be better off if our nation finally had its fill of the lot of them and tossed them out on the street in the next election.

And, I mean all of them on both sides of the aisle.

I would like to see a return of representatives who actually represent the citizens of our nation. I would like to see people who have actually worked, chosen to lead our nation and pass our laws.

McNairy County, along with the rest of the communities in our nation full of hard working American citizens, are destined to suffer in the long-run if we as a nation do not choose leaders who can lead.

I would like to see a return of a government...of the people, for the people and by the people. But, as we all know, that type of dangerous thinking is no longer welcome in the festering swamp along the Potomac.

The creatures who live there prefer a government for themselves and for their friends with just enough divisive legislation and foreign conflict to keep us all distracted enough to look away from the real problem facing our nation...Congress.

“Abolish it. Abolish it and go back to the regular MedicareMedicaid programs because it already messed up so much of the health care that it’s unreal.”

“Change it. I believe the people in Obama’s cabinet, they said they wouldn’t like it. Well, they should like the insurance or care other people get.”

“I think they need to throw it out.

It ain’t worth a dime. It’s going to corrupt this country.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Selmer should reconsider self insured health coverage Editor, I am a long-time resident and property owner in Selmer. Let me start by expressing my gratitude to all the board members for their time and service to our community.

After viewing, online via the web, the Selmer City Board proceedings for the last three months ( July, August and September), I wish to express my serious concerns about how the board is dealing with the subject of health insurance coverage for city employees.

At the meeting, Mayor David Robinson discussed the adoption of a self-funded insurance plan for consideration to address the escalating cost of providing health insurance to the city’s 70+ employees. The self-funded plan has the potential of saving a great deal of money while still allowing employees to keep their same benefits and lowering their annual deductibles.

This makes perfect sense to me.

Watching the meeting, I learned that, because the insurance coverage was about to expire, the board voted on a temporary stopgap HRA plan to prevent loss of coverage, but the cost is expensive, potentially much higher than the selffunded plan. It was clear there was considerable research performed regarding the pros and cons of different plans, and the Mayor along with two other alderman are not convinced that adopting the HRA plan is in the best interests of Selmer’s employees or its budget. At the July meeting, Mayor Robinson made a point of confirming that Selmer is not locked into a contract term and that if another insurance option was found that better suited Selmer’s needs and budget that a change could be made without penalty.

The numbers involved are rather daunting: From what I understand the HRA plan through Blue Cross Blue Shield, Selmer pays a premium of $341,000 per year PLUS up to $6000 per employee and family member in potential liability, or an additional $486,000 which equates

to a total of $827,000. Employees’ deductibles have been raised to $2000.

Under the self-funded plan, one recommended possibility, the total premium would be $341,000. That’s the most the city would pay. The plan would restore the benefits the employees had previously, prior to the HRA and reduce their annual deductible back to $1250.

The self- funded plan would potentially save the City $149,000 in this year’s budget and allow us to control costs going forward. It would also help us skirt some of the requirements of “Obamacare.”

Aldermen Chris Tull and John Finlayson have asked repeatedly, over the course of these three meetings, to open this matter up for a fair and frank discussion.

They want to hear the analysis and recommendations of the independent consultant. This is a complex issue with potentially long-term consequences.

As a citizen and taxpayer of Selmer, I expect Board members to have a thorough understanding of both plans presented, the benefits and liabilities, for the city and the city’s employees covered by the plans.

City Attorney Terry Abernathy has suggested the name of an independent consultant, who is not

promoting either plan or offering to sell us anything, to review and provide an unbiased opinion of the options on the table. But stalling tactics have continued.

Personally, I would like to hear the opposing point of view. I would like to hear a reason for not wanting to consider researching cost avoidance for our city and city employee’s. I have always been partial to decisions made by reason, based on fact and not personal preference.

I am very concerned. These numbers are large and represent a considerable chunk of our city’s budget. This subject deserves careful consideration. Our aldermen and Mayor are charged to keep Selmer’s interests a top priority.

I value each and every one of our board members; conflict of interest is a positive situation. That is why we have 5 aldermen to break a stalemate. What I am asking for is reason. This reason for not discussing this topic is owed to the citizens and especially the city workers in which this decision affects personally.

I encourage all citizens to view the recorded city meetings for July, August and September on the city’s website: townofselmer.com.

-Carl Anderson, Selmer

If you want to leave a blueprint for your relatives to follow after death, then call the office and set-up an appointment. Having a Last Will and Testament in conjunction with a Living Will is the greatest gift you can leave your family. Estate planning is easier and less expensive than you think.

It was enjoyed by all. They had lost several of their classmates. Speeches were given, and they closed to return next year.

Erica Jones and Jayla Jones of Laverne Tennessee spent Labor Day visiting her parents and sister Willie and Tamela Sain, and sister Chastity Sain, and attended the birthday get-together for Marie Goodrum with other members of the family.

Visits were enjoyed by all.

James Harlan is at home after spending several days in the hospital in Jackson, Tenn. He is recuperating well at home. Our prayers are with him for a speedy recovery.

Nathaniel Williams attended the Webb Alumni Gen. Assembly in McKenzie, Tenn. on Saturday.

There were six Chapters from different states present. They enjoyed the Fellowship and talked about the history of the school.

Looking forward to next year, plans were made, officers were elected, speeches were exchanged and food was enjoyed by all.

The UMW ladies will meet next Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 12 o'clock in their regular monthly meeting at the new Bethel United Methodist Church .

We extend to the family of Pearl Macklin our deepest sympathy in the loss of their loved one, she made her home in St. Louis, MO, but was born and raised in McNairy County. John L Welch & James Welch of Henderson, TN, Mozella Baldrige of Bethel Springs, Yvonne of Cleveland, TN, her nephews and nieces attended the home going service. Funeral and burial was held in St. Louis.

Thought for the week: There is a little bit of Heaven in each day that comes anew. If we truly look we'll find it, right there with in our view. The soft pink midst of early dawn that tints the morning sky, a robin in the treetops singing praise to God on high. Bright-eyed children playing near, a baby's dimpled smile- a little bit of heaven to make our day worthwhile.

So until next time, be kind to your self and others.

(News from Sept. 29th) Mr. James Harlan is at home slowly doing better.

His report from the doctor was very good, may he continue to improve and

A True Friendship

By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor

I have learned this week (and so glad you are never too smart or old to learn) that there is nothing like a friend.

There are different seasons in your life some good, some bad. God has a way of showing you the things that are important. I am glad that there are times when he takes me to the school of learning to remind me who I am and who I belong to. Life is not always a mountain experience and again I have also learned most of the time you grow more in the valleys not on the mountain. On a mountain the roots do not grow deep but down in a valley they will grow and usually be well established. The things in my life that are important to me would be in this order: My God and sweet Son, my family, and then my friends. I am glad He teaches me the impor-

tance of all of the above.

There are things we all need in life but if you have a friend you have a great wealth in my eyes.

My best friends name is Jesus and I am so glad he is, but I have many other friends and one of them is a man who works in our therapy department name Dan. Dan is occupational therapy assistances and has overcome some great hurdles in his life. Dan has Diabetes and at times has trouble with his eyes, but he is at work every day providing for the folks in our home. His wife Lisa is also an occupational therapist and they are blessing with a daughter and now a son in love. Dan recently had a big birthday far be from me to tell you which one that information you will have to get from him. I will tell you to notice in the picture everybody has on black but Dan so not sure what they were thinking. What I would like to say is we really ap-

Cardinals break Trojan defenses

Paul records more than 250 yards and 5 TDs through the air

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The Cardinals made the trip to Collinwood, Tenn., to take on the Trojans and came out with a huge win.

Adamsville 37 Collinwood 02

Staff Photo by Brian Azevedo

Seth Paul gets a block from running back Chris Irons as he sends a pass towards the end zone against Collinwood.

The game started off slow on both sides, and it was mid-way through the first quarter before we would see the first points put on the board.

Unfortunately those points came in the form of a safety against the Cardinals. After their drive stalled, Ross Burcham came in to punt but the ball was snapped over his head. Instead of trying to pick the ball up or just covering it and giving the Trojan offense the ball around the five yard line, Burcham made the smart decision of kicking the ball through the back of the end zone giving the Trojans two points and the ball.

Adamsville’s defense was there to play, the Trojans once again were unable to get anything moving offensively and the ball returned to the Cardinals.

Only seconds into the second quarter we got our first touchdown of the game when Seth Paul hit Jacob Wallis for 33 yards and the touchdown.

With the extra point through the uprights, the Cardinals took a 7-2 lead and never looked back.

On in to the second quarter Paul and Wallis hooked up again for another 33 yard touchdown. Paul then went to Wallis again for the two point conversion and the Cardinals were quickly up 15-2.

Adamsville on defense played a very solid football game never giving in to what the Trojans were trying to do and holding on to the defensive shutout.

On the Cardinals’ next offensive possession, it was a case of deja vu, as Paul once again found Wallis this time for a 38 yard score. This time it was Zak Neary who came in to add the two point conversion and the Cardinals extended their lead to 23-2.

After quickly getting the ball back from the Trojans, the Cards wasted little time getting back on the board when Sidney Goldinger took the Paul pass 61 yards for the score. After missing the extra point, the Cardinals took a 29-2 lead into the half.

The Trojans had possession to begin the second half but could not keep the drive going as Hutch Hefner, Dylan Sweat and the rest of Dengler’s defense held strong and would not allow the Trojans to score.

After the Cardinals got the ball back it took little time for Paul to find the end zone again, this time making the connection to Ross Burcham for 29 yards and the score. Once again Neary came in to plow in the two point conversion and put the Cards up 35 points.

In high school football once a team gets up by 35 points or more a continuous clock is activated. This means that on plays that the clock would normally stop it continues to run which shortens the rest of the game and keeps one team from running up the score too high.

Bobcats can not stop the powerful Tigers

By Sarah Rowland Sports Writer

The Bobcats fell hard to Hardin County in a home game last Friday night.

Hardin County McNairy Central

55 20

Coach Charlie Dampeer said McNairy didn’t match up well against Hardin County having trouble defending against the much larger players.

“They were just better than we were,” said Dampeer.

By the end of the first quarter Hardin County had already scored three touchdowns for a score of 20-0 going into the second quarter.

About halfway through the second quar-

ter, McNairy seemed to catch a break when John Graham recovered a fumble.

Two and a half minutes later Jarrett Mood pushed through the line losing his helmet as he passed into the end zone. Though due to the loss of his helmet, the touchdown was ruled no good. With just a little under 20 yards for the touchdown Cagle then attempted to rush for the score in the next two downs yet with no yardage gained. On the fourth down with two minutes left on the clock, Mood rushed to the end zone falling just over the line for the touchdown.

The first half ended 34-6 in favor of Hardin County.

During their first possession for the second half, McNairy lost the ball to an interception by the Tigers who went on to score.

However, Darwin Kelly received the punt

and rushed within yards of the end zone.

Less than a minute later Mood took the touchdown for McNairy bringing the score 48-12 by the end of the third quarter.

With less than two minutes left in the game, McNairy found themselves in a first and goal situation. Quarterback Isaac Cagle scored one last touchdown in the final minutes of the game with a twopoint conversion from Mood for a final score of 55-20 for Hardin County.

McNairy will travel to Bolivar this Friday night for their third district game in a row.

Dampeer said as always a district game is important and hopefully the team will have a good week of practices to prepare for the match-up against Bolivar.

A family tradition: Jourdan Dengler suits up for the Blue Devils invite them to.”

Dengler is undecided if football is something that she wants to make a career of, but coach says he has no doubt she could do it if she wanted to.

“My family and school members are very supportive,” said Dengler, “but I am concentrating more on playing basketball.”

On top of football, Dengler also competes in track and travel basketball. Football and basketball are both contact sports, but in different manners. Training and conditioning in both sports have given Dengler the total workout.

“It’s a different set of muscles,” said Cleary. “She is in great shape. When we do football conditioning she is one of the first ones done. When we do endurance tests, she is one of the last three out there, so she is in great shape and she’s got that fire and wants to succeed in whatever she does. I expect her to have a really good year in basketball.”

Girls can play football and have played seldom throughout the past and throughout the nation. Dengler is local proof of that. Underneath the gear is heart and it’s only mid-season.

Jourdan Dengler gets in position against the Cardinals early in the 2013 season.

Dengler is the first girl to play football for the Blue Devils and she is making an impact on the field.

By Amanda Lowrance Feature Writer

Underneath the pitch-forked, junior high football helmet and pads of the Michie Blue Devils this season is a 13-year-old girl named Jourdan Dengler.

Following in the footsteps of her older brother, Jacob, Jourdan wanted to play football for her eighth-grade year.

“I have learned most of my football skills from my brother,” said Dengler.

At the end of the second game in the season, she led the Blue Devils in most tackles.

“They ran to her side,” said Michie Football Coach Michael Cleary. “I don’t know if they knew we had a girl on that side or if that’s just the way it went, but she made the tackles and she was not scared to hit or be hit.”

Having a female play on the football team is an all-new experience for Dengler, Cleary, and the team.

“This is my first year playing on an actual team,” said Dengler. “I love being on the team and yes at first, I got weird looks, but the boys have gotten used to me being on the team. I am treated like one of the guys now.”

The looks, the whispers, or the animosity never slowed her down.

“Early on in the season, I could sense some timidness from our guys,” said Cleary. “Give me somebody that’s got heart over somebody’s that’s got talent. She’s got a lot of heart.”

As a half-time motivator, the coach said if the season ended right now and we had the athletic banquet tomorrow, no one would get an award except Jourdan Dengler.

She’s got the most tackles on the team so she would be the Defensive MVP and she would be the Overall MVP, so there would be no need in anyone coming to the banquet except her.

“That got everybody fired up and it got us on a little win streak as we’re 3-2 and a lot of the credit goes to her for allowing me to use her as motivation with the guys.”

Coach Cleary introduced the idea to Dengler’s parents at a track meet that she competed in. She had good size, speed, and aggressiveness.

At first her parents thought the coach was kidding, but when they realized the seriousness of the situation they agreed on one condition- if she was treated like one of the guys. Cleary gave his word.

“This is the first girl to be on my team. There has never even been a girl to talk about playing. This is my seventh year as head coach in football and ninth overall,” said Cleary. “People want to come out and watch her play. She is what I consider a skill player.”

The spring scrimmage against Selmer proved Cleary’s theory to be accurate.

“She went out there and made every tackle a boy would make. She was just as good as any boy on our team. She’s just a solid player and solid all-around.”

So far, Dengler has played on defense as linebacker, outside linebacker and on offense as tight end, wide receiver, and slot receiver.

“If they’re good enough to play and they want to play, let em,” said Cleary. “I

The Titans will take on the 2-1 Jets next Sunday, and hope to slow down Geno Smith and company to come away with their third win of the season.

Cardinals From Page 1B After the final touchdown to Burcham, the Cardinals began to get some young guys time in the game and to eat away the clock moving towards their fifth victory of the year.

The underclassmen played well contributing solid defense and moved the ball well on offense, and the Cardinals held on for the win.

“It is good to get a win and it is good to get some young guys time on the field,” said head coach Brandon Gray.

“Our defense played a solid game keeping them out of the end zone, and Seth had a pretty good game throwing the football. We still have things to work on and we have to continue getting better each week to meet our goal of again playing in December.”

The Cardinals will be at home in their next match-up when the 0-5 Middleton Tigers come to town, and look to keep playing solid football.

Quarterback Drew Brees led the way for the Saints completing 30 of 39 passes for 413 yards and throwing for four touchdowns in the contest. The Saints could not get much offense going on the ground but the young Dolphins were no match for Brees and the passing attack. The Saints look to remain unbeaten as they travel to Chicago next week, while the Dolphins will look to get back on track as the host the Baltimore Ravens.

Lady Cat Mary Kate Doyle’s hat trick cages the Cardinals

By Sarah Rowland Sports Writer

MCHS Lady Cats scored the win over the Lady Cardinals at home last Tuesday despite a steady rain throughout the second half.

McNairy Central Adamsville

3 2

Mary Kate Doyle dominated the field throughout the game scoring the first goal of the game for the Lady Cats. The goal was scored off a penalty kick and though it seemed to be soaring past the goal it hit the rim and bounced into the net for the score.

“This was her first hat trick ever,” said Doug Lowrie, statistician for the Lady Cats, “and the first for the Lady Cats this year.”

About eight minutes later Robin Moore scored a goal for the Cardinals making the score tied 1-1 at halftime.

Coach Rebecca Ashe said the Cardinals played well in the first half though “lost their legs in the second half.”

Early in the second half Doyle for the

Lady Cats made her team’s second goals with an assist from Rebekah Lowrie. Blair Prather for the Cardinals scored a goal off a penalty kick then Doyle scored again for the Lady Cats toward the close of the game.

The final score was 3-2 for the Lady Cats.

Not only did Doyle play excellently scoring all three goals for the Lady Cats, the Lady Cats took four steals throughout the game

by Danielle Forsythe, Madi Rose Hammock, Haven Phelps and Jasmine Sanders.

For the Cardinals, Olivia Wright saved six shots and Parker Davis saved three while Holley Moore saved five for the Lady Cats.

Coach Jerry Lott “both teams played extremely hard” and the Lady Cats played with “great team effort.”

Ramer Eagles lock down county title with win over the Cardinals

By Sarah Rowland Sports Writer

The Ramer Eagles cinched their title as county champions this Monday in a stand off against the Adamsville Cardinals.

Eagles 22 Cardinals 8

Staff Photo by Sarah Rowland

Kylin Wynn takes the ball around the right side against the Cardinals. Wynn helped lead the Eagles to the 2013 County Championship and looks to do the same on the court once basketball season rolls around.

Apostolic:

The Cardinals held their place against the undefeated Eagles throughout the majority of the game. At the start of the fourth quarter the score was tied 8-8.

The Cardinals began the fourth quarter with possession of the ball and steadily worked their way toward the end zone. With only about 20 yards to goal on the fourth down the Cardinals failed to get the touchdown.

After the fourth down conversion, player 11 gained significant yardage for the Eagles before Kylin Wynn earned a touchdown and two-point conversion for the Eagles bringing the score 16-8 for the Eagles.

In the next play, Mason McCann gained significant yardage bringing the ball almost to half field but due to a penalty on the offense the Cardinals lost about 15 yards.

With just a little under two minutes left in the game Kylin Wynn earned another touchdown for the Eagles, with a two-point conversion by player 5, to end the game 22-8.

“Adamsville played a great game and really shut down our offense like no one else has been able to,” said Coach Jeremy Blakely for the Eagles, “They are big, and their linebackers hit the gaps hard.”

Blakely said the defense was really “the story for the win” when in the fourth quarter the Eagles pushed back the Cardinals then forced a fumble and change

of possession.

“Football is the quintessential team sport and these young men play like a cohesive group on every single play.

“I could not be prouder of them,” said Blakely.

On the other side of the county, the Michie Blue Devils took the win over the Bethel Rebels on the Rebels field.

(Ramer) (Rushing) Kylin Wynn: 93 Yds, 2 TD; Ronnie Kinkennon: 27 Yds (Passing) Bryce Hawkins: 1-2, 45 Yds, 1 TD (Receiving) Jacob Patterson-Davis: 1 Rec, 45 Yds, 1 TD (Defense) Kylin Wynn: 10 Tkl, 2 Sack, 3 FF, 1 FR; Jacob Patterson-Davis: 3 Tkl; Trevon Campbell: 2 Tkl; Spencer Comer: 2 Tkl; Jay Floyd: 6 Tkl, 1 Sack; Garrett Youngblood: 4 Tkl; Undavious Floyd: 2 Tkl, 1 Sack; Grant McMahan: 1 Tkl, 1 Int; Tavion Luster: 1 Tkl, 1 Int; Ronnie Kinkennon: 6 Tkl; Chris Waddell: 3 Tkl; Jhiannos Damron: 1 Tkl; Austin Scott: 1 Tkl

Blue Devils 38 Rebels 22

“Our guys played, I think, a flawless game,” said Coach Michael Cleary for the Blue Devils.

Cleary praised Clint Coleman saying he “runs the ball extremely hard” picking up significant yardage. He also praised quarterback Dawson Hollan and the defense who would throw “11 men into the ball” which is what it takes he said.

Cleary was grateful for the win against the Rebels saying it’s “extremely hard to come to Bethel with a win.”

Coach Brian Franks for the Rebels simply stated the team needs to learn to tackle.

BSES students study life in numbers

School menus Elementary Schools Breakfast

Submitted Photo

Students created a poster that describes who they are. Rather than just telling the class who they are, they used numbers to tell their story. They were encouraged to think about their age, birth date, favorite number, the number of times they have done something, how many of something they have, etc. Fifth grade students let numbers be their guide as they created the project that was unique to them and their interests

BSES students win in Fur, Fin, and Feather Art Show Submitted Photo

Bethel Springs Elementary School had four students to place in the “Fur, Fin, and Feather” art show and contest during the 2013-2014 school year. The show has two divisions; K-3rd grade and 4-6 grade. This year Kaylee Hurst-first, Louis Ashley-second, Joey Butterfield-third, and Mikala Owens-honorable mention made their art teacher proud. These students attended the Middleton Community Center on September 1, 2013 for refreshments, awards, and photos.

Pictured front left to right are: Louis Ashley and Kaylee Hurst. Back left to right: Joey Butterfield and Mrs. Anita Graves. Not pictured, Mikala Owens.

Extend the harvest this season by gardening expert

By Melinda Myers Didn’t get enough gardening in this season? Don’t worry there is still time to grow garden-fresh vegetables and herbs this fall and winter.

Purchase transplants and seeds that will grow and flourish in the cooler fall and winter temperatures. Lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, root vegetables, edible pansies and calendula as well as cole crops, like broccoli, are a few to consider.

Those gardening in colder regions need to select short season crops like lettuce, spinach and radishes that will mature before extremely cold winter temperatures set in.

Extend the fall garden season into winter with the help of floating row covers, coldframes and portable greenhouses.

Many of the elevated garden systems now have built in cold frames or row cover attachments to make extending the season much easier.

Try container and elevated gardens like the VegTrug™ (www.gardners.com) to extend the growing season and increase your enjoyment. These contained gardens allow you to plant herbs, vegetables and flowers anywhere. Place a few right outside the front door or on the balcony for fun and convenience. Plus, contained gardens can easily be

moved to a sheltered location or covered and protected from frost.

Or move your garden indoors. Select vegetables and herbs that can tolerate the less-than-ideal indoor growing conditions. Greens, onions and root crops, like radishes and short carrots, will grow in a sunny window. Expand your selection with the help of artificial lights.

Basil, oregano, thyme, sage, parsley, chives and of course mint are a few favorite herbs to grow on your kitchen or other sunny windowsill. Increase your harvest with the help of artificial lights or try an indoor tiered grow light stand to save on space.

Take cuttings from healthy herbs growing in the garden, purchase new transplants or start herb and vegetable plants from seeds.

Take four inch cuttings from healthy herbs. Remove the lowest set of leaves and place the cut end in a well-drained potting mix. Once rooted, plant the herbs in individual containers or mixed with other herbs in a windowsill planter.

Start the seeds in a flat, in individual pots or directly in a planter. Keep the rooting mix warm and moist until the seeds sprout. Move to a sunny location or under artificial

lights as soon as the seedlings break through the soil.

Wait until the seedlings develop two sets of leaves and then transplant them into their permanent planter if needed.

So get busy planting and soon you will be enjoying the tasty benefits of fall and winter gardening.
