Decided by the election will be the mayor and two aldermen. Incumbent Mayor David Robinson, Alderman John Smith, Board of Education member Tony Chapman and Roger Hill are running for this office.

Incumbent Alderman John Finlayson, Frederick Yarbrough, Neil Justice and John Norris are seeking the two alderman positions.

Nothing to do in McNairy County? - Look again

Staff Photos by Christen Coulon

Zombies set off from the McNairy County Court House last Saturday during the first ever Zombie Walk Invasion. As it turns out, even zombies can’t resist the smell of a Pat’s Slugburger. Many of the undead creatures gave up their traditional cuisine of fresh brains to dine on Selmer’s world-famous delicacy.

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

(Editor’s note:) “There is nothing to do,” is a phrase heard less and less these days in McNairy County. Last weekend, events dotted the landscape of nearly every corner of the county. Even though there were more activities and events than this reporter could handle in one weekend, I tried to cover as many as I could to demonstrate how much fun can be packed into one McNairy County weekend.

Many of those who did not make the drive to Jackson, Tenn. last Friday to watch McNairy Central throttle Jackson Christian went to the Michie to Trick or Treat in the Park. This early Halloween celebration featured games, candy and lots of fun with hundreds of well-dressed little monsters having their run of the park.

On Saturday, many residents were out of town supporting one of our local high school bands as they made a run for their respective state finals. However, this did not stop the fun in Selmer as two concerts, a pro-wrestling match and a Judgement House all competed that evening for their share of the survivors of the day’s Zombie Apocalypse, which occurred hours earlier.

That’s right, zombies!

Saturday’s events began with the first ever Zombie Walk Invasion which began at the courthouse, but spread quickly across the entire downtown. Thankfully, the citizens were able to clear the streets in time for the evening’s events. Directly across the street from the zombie invasion, the South Side Supper Club put on a dinner concert in the debut show of Arts in McNairy’s LIVE! at the Latta performance series.

If the SupClub wasn’t your style, there were two other events just blocks away in either direction from the visitors center. At the Selmer Farmer’s Market, the Master’s 3 Trio were joined by other artists in a free Gospel Music show. Just down the street from the concerts, Selmer’s First Baptist Church was holding their opening night of Judgement House, “Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire” which will hold additional shows on Oct. 30 and 31.

For those of you who missed all of the fun last week, do not worry. The week ahead is filled with fun events for the entire family. Check our our events listing for a complete rundown of the week’s activities, and be sure not to miss this Thursday’s Halloween Street Party in downtown Selmer or Saturday’s Fall Hog BBQ Festival at the Selmer City Park.

If you still don’t see anything happening in McNairy County...look again.

Rotary Club names Lott Citizen of the Year

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

The 15th annual Citizen of the Year Banquet, presented by the Selmer Rotary Club and Selmer Lions Club, was held last Tuesday in at the Selmer Community Center.

Long-time educator and coach Jerry Lott was chosen as this year’s Citizen of the Year and received the award from Selmer Rotary President Darren Bowers.

For more than 41 years, Lott has helped to shape the future of McNairy County students both on the court and in the classroom.

Lott said that he was very surprised to learn that he had won this award.

“I am definitely grateful that they have chosen to honor me, but I’m sure that there are a lot of other people out there that are probably more deserving than I am,” Lott said. “It is certainly an honor.”

Seven additional awards were presented to other outstanding citizens who have also left their mark on McNairy County through their good deeds and hard work.

A number of volunteers were honored at the ceremony for their efforts. The Volunteer of the Year Award was presented by Judi Mashburn to Donny and Diana Gibbs.

The Youth Volunteer for MCHS was presented by Mallory Cox to Molly George, and the AHS award went to Amber Davis, who received the award from Valerie Harrelson.

Other awards were given to those whose everyday jobs require the extraordinary.

The Teacher of the Year, Nick Cook, was presented his award by outgoing Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly. The Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, Inv. Robert Hitchborn, received his award from Sheriff Guy Buck. The Emergency Personnel of the Year Award was awarded to Frankie Gilbert, and his award was presented by Anthony Carr.

The Fireman of the Year Val Deutsch, was presented by Steve Stoll.

The Community Betterment Award was given to Fullwood Dentistry, by McNairy Regional Alliance Executive Director Ted Moore.

Bowers, who gave the opening and closing remarks at the event, said that he was honored to be able to give the award to Lott and said that the ceremony was an opportunity for the community to see some of the great people who stand among them.

“This is an opportunity for the community to get together and recognize those servants of the community,” Bowers said.

For photos of last Tuesday’s event and for more information of on each of this year’s awardees find us on Facebook or read next week’s issue of the Independent Appeal.

STREET PARTY FROM PAGE 1A

art education for local children.

Currently, the county budgets only $1 for elementary school art supplies per child, per year so we take this opportunity to solicit donations large or small to help increase the budget for our schools.

Last year, money raised at this event doubled the elementary school art supply budget and this year’s goal is to surpass that amount several times over.

The week’s event will double in size covering seven city blocks and will feature eight speciality and full service food vendors who have agreed to donate 15% of their proceeds to arts education. All other participants are asked to donate what they are able to this worthy cause.

This year, for the first time, we will showcase children’s art from Selmer Elementary, Bethel Springs Elementary, Adamsville Elementary and Michie Elementary with some items for sale. Local artist George Souders has donated a piece

of his work to be auctioned off.

Additional auction items are paintings from Anita Graves and Lanessa Miller; stained glass from Robert Hester and several necklaces and earrings designed by Linda Craig, the Seedybeader, art by Jan Woolworth and much more.

For the first time, we will have entertainment by professional singer Andy Avery sponsored by First Christian Church in Selmer. Avery once toured with Bon Jovi, KISS and Guns and Roses as their opening act.

He also filled in for the lead singer of Journey once. Now he tours as a Christian artist and speaker and has hosted several events in the past at First Christian Church.

Selmer Parks and Recreation will present “The Walking Dead” Haunted House from 5-9 p.m. at 132 Warren Avenue, downtown Selmer. Admission is $1 with all proceeds going to arts education. The haunted house will remain at that location rain or shine.

The parks department will also hosts games for children with many great prizes for participants. Weather permitting,

McNairy Central teacher and coach Jerry Lott, is congratulated by Selmer Rotary Club President Darren Bowers after Lott was named the Rotary’s Citizen of the Year last Tuesday. Lott’s career as an educator spans more than 41 years.

we hope to have many local heroes from the City of Selmer, McNairy Regional Hospital and Hospital Wing sharing a fire truck, ambulance, police cars and more for all to tour and get a treat. The Justice Complex will also host their fourth annual trunk or treat with us this year.

Styles & Profiles will host face painting, nail and hair art for free. Nancy Kennedy, local historian, will share local ghost stories in front of the museum and Pat’s Cafe. In addition to being open, the iconic cafe will host karaoke at their stage.

This year, you can come out and meet the candidates for Selmer mayor and aldermen and visit with other area politicians, business owners, civic organizations and more supporting the event.

We plan to show a movie at dusk under the Farmer’s Market Pavilion and have the costume contest at 8 p.m. with more than $350 in prizes.

Put on your costume and join one of the best events of the year and raise money for a great cause.

We hope to see you all there – rain or shine!

STORM GRANT FROM PAGE 1A

County Mayor Ronnie Brooks said difficulties with the applications appeared as soon as they began to be submitted to the county.

Some people expressed concerns that too many people would be privy to the sensitive information contained in the applications. The original plan was to have the county Emergency Management Agency and the Solid Waste Department review them, but because of these concerns, Brooks submitted them directly to the Tennessee Housing Development Agency.

THDA then found things wrong with the applications and began to send them back.

Brooks also had received feedback from applicants that the form was too complicated and hard to understand.

Another problem with the grant was that it was a 50-50 match. Lots of people did not have the matching funds and could not or did not wish to borrow them. Due to his expertise in these matters, Nelson suggested that people could use the value of work they did themselves for the match.

Brooks first asked for help from THDA in order to have them filled out correctly, but the housing department said they could not play that role. Instead, they recommended NCDG as an organization that THDA had worked with and had confidence in.

“I am anxious for people to get their needs met. It is taking longer than I wanted for it to happen,” Brooks said.

There will be a public meeting Nov. 7 at the Community Center at 5 p.m in order to explain the application process.

Holder anticipates that applications will start to be accepted about two weeks after the meeting.

The deadline for the grant will be mid-March of next year Brooks said.

In order to be eligible for the grant, the homeowner must have suffered damage not covered by insurance and must be low income.

The money goes directly to contractors, half when half of the work is done and the rest when work is complete.

The Rebuild and Recover program is administered by the Tennessee Housing Development Agency.

The county was previously awarded $175,000 under the program.

Fall Hog BBQ Fest returns to Selmer this Saturday

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

The McNairy Regional Alliance and the Town of Selmer will be hosting the 3nd Annual Fall Hog BBQ Festival at the Selmer City Park this Saturday.

Due to renovations at Dixie Park, the event will be held at a new location, but this year’s event looks to be the biggest and best Hog BBQ to date with proceeds going to Jack Cheshire’s Christmas Shopping Spree.

According to Russell Ingle, director of Chamber Programs for the MRA, the festival fits in perfectly with the MRA’s vision to create and partner with events and activities that promote and highlight the very best of McNairy County’s cultural, historic and economic assets.

This year’s event is expected to bring in upwards of 3,000 people to the Selmer area for a fun filled day of great food, live entertainment, rides, a classic car show and more.

There will also be a cash prize for those competing in the BBQ contest, and Ingle hopes that this will help bring in a larger and more diverse group of teams competing in the cook-off.

Ingle said that the MRA has worked to turn this into a premier regional BBQ contest,and many of the competitors said that the contest has already grown to the point where adding an entry fee and cash prize could help bring this local event to the next level.

Beyond the BBQ, audiences have come to expect a great line-up of musicians for this event and Ingle said that this year a diverse group of locally and regionally known

Last year’s Fall Hog BBQ Fest drew thousands of people to the event. This year’s festival has moved to the Selmer City Park and is scheduled to take place this Saturday. acts will be on hand to entertain the crowd.

Maggie Grace Whitaker will return and take the stage with other local acts such as Amanda Smith, Nichole Stoppa and Amanda Griffith. In addition, regional favorites Bluesberry Jam Band and the Frankie Marlar Band will headline the event.

Bluesberry is kind of a throwback to B.B. King and other traditional blues bands,”

Ingle said. “The Frankie Marlar band is the house band for Rock 92.3 and we are excited to have them as well.”

Ingle said that 92.3 is scheduled to be on hand for live broadcasts during this year’s event.

The event will run from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., with awards announced at 3 p.m.

“How can you not have a great time,” In-

gle said. “We have great music, great food, lots of fun things for the kids.

“We want these events to be morale boosters. At the heart of this event, the thing that motivated us to want to do this or other events is because they are good for the community.”

Outage affects Adamsville phone/911 service last weekend

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Normal phone service was restored to Adamsville by last Sunday morning after a fiber optic line went down the night before according to the Adamsville Police Department’s Facebook page.

As a result of the downed line, calls to any 632 number resulted in a message saying all circuits were busy according to McNairy County E-911 Director Dana Swims.

So as not to overload the 911 number, the Adamsville Police Department via its Facebook page asked people to use the 645 non-emergency number instead. Callers were not able to reach the 632 emergency number during this time. Callers from cell phones were still able to reach all emergency and non-emergency numbers.

“We didn’t have an incident. Everything went off without a hitch,” Swims said about emergency calls from Adamsville during this period.

Calls to CenturyLink, the telephone provider for the Adamsville area, were not returned.

John is 40 years old and has been working his entire adult life to prepare himself to be a leader in Selmer’s future. Being a 14 year Veteran with the Selmer Fire Department, an Alderman for the Town of Selmer for the past 8 years, a member of the Planning Commission for the Town of Selmer, a member of the Policy Council Board for Southwest Human Resource Agency, and Local business owner for 13 years has all helped to prepare him to lead Selmer in the right direction.

I encouraged John to run for Mayor 4 years ago, and after a lot of prayer and consideration, he said “Dad, I’m just not completely ready for the job,” and I truly respected his anwer. I knew he just needed a little more time, and I knew he would know when the time was right.

Earlier this year, I asked John again if he was considering running for Mayor, and his anwer was “Dad, I know now I’m ready. I’m prepared for what’s required to be Selmer’s next Mayor.”

John would make Selmer a wonderful Mayor. He truly cares about the people of Selmer - each and every one is important to him.

I know he will work day and night to be the best Mayor he can possibly be and to do everything he can to make Selmer all it can be and should be. He’s dedicated, hard working, and determined to make things better for us all.

Please, give John Smith a chance to turn things around and lead Selmer in a new direction.

Vote John Smith for Mayor of the City of Selmer. He’s the right man and this is the right time.

Thank you so much, Dr. Jamie Smith

Battle of the Badges: It’s lawmen vs. firemen vs. medics to save lives

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Policemen, firemen and emergency medical personnel are accustomed to saving lives, but they will be doing so in a different way than usual in the Battle of the Badges Community Blood Drive.

When donors sign up to donate blood, they will have the chance to make their donation in honor of the department of their choice. The department with the the most donations wins the Battle of the Badges.

Participants include the Mc-

Nairy County Sheriff’s Department, the McNairy County Volunteer Fire Department and the Selmer Police Department and McNairy County Emergency Medical Services.

The blood drive will be held on Nov. 1 from noon to 4 p.m. at McNairy County Healthcare Center in Selmer.

Blood donors will receive a free T-shirt and the winning department will win a plaque and a meal from Hometown Pizza.

Selmer Police Chief Neal Burks would not make a prediction as to which department would win.

“Regardless of who wins, it’s

for a good cause. I would encourage everybody to get out and donate blood,” Burks said.

The last Battle of the Badges was held in June 2012 and EMS was the winner, according to Linda Wood, Community Services Representative for Lifeline Blood Services.

Lifeline is based out of Jackson, Tenn. and serves McNairy County and almost all of West Tennessee, except for Shelby and Lake counties. Lifeline serves 17 counties and 19 hospitals.

The last blood drive collected 34 units and Wood hopes to collect about 35 this time.

Lifeline provides about 28,000

George tackles high school, world hunger

units of blood a year.

“Having it in November helps us get a leg up on the holiday season, when people are traveling and may need more blood,” Wood said.

Wood was complimentary of the role of the public servants of the county.

“People are good about giving blood when their lives have been saved by a policeman or fireman,” Wood said.

“Lifeline’s a great cause.

We’re going to support it. We don’t care which department they support as long as they participate. The winner is going to be the public,” said Sheriff Guy Buck.

Michie sponsors school project

By Janet Rail

By Sarah Rowland Staff Writer

A McNairy Central High School senior is meeting the issue of world hunger head on seeking to raise awareness and get teens involved and realizing her life’s mission.

For her senior project, Molly George has partnered with Stop Hunger Now, an international hunger relief agency, to host a packaging event through which she hopes to package 20,000 meals with the help of community volunteers. Stop Hunger Now distributes 70% of their meals in impoverished areas around the world, particularly in Sahara, Africa which is currently the most impoverished area in the world, and the rest of the meals are distributed following natural disasters.

Each meal of rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a mineral pack costs 25 cents. Leading up to the packaging event George has been fundraising to purchase supplies for the 20,000 meals she hopes to package.

She has also been raising awareness seeking to enlist at least 100 volunteers for the packaging event.

George said she has been speaking at community events, football games and churches and is overwhelmed by the amount of support from the community.

The largest fundraising event George has organized was a powder puff football game that was hosted at MCHS as part of their homecoming spirit week.

“It was good for people in the community to know that teens do want to help and do want to do more,” said George about the powder puff football game.

When asked how she decided on her senior project George said she helped package meals at a summer camp in North Carolina. She said her participation in that event stuck out to her because a group of teens packaged 30,000 meals in one hour.

“I saw how much we could do with not a whole lot of people in such a short amount of time,” said George, “I wanted to bring it back to Selmer because I don’t think teens do much around here because we don’t realize how much we can do.”

George said the biggest lesson she’s learned from

this project is to trust God. At the beginning of the project she said she was worried about the organization and planning that would be necessary to raise the funds and host the event but she said her mentor, Chris Whitten, quickly reminded her that God would provide.

When asked why she asked Whitten to be her mentor she said he is a positive community leader that has done a lot of fundraising and has been involved in teen ministries.

“I knew I wanted someone like him to have my back. He’s definitely kept me busy and I’ve kept him busy as well.”

George said the project has changed her as she looks forward to her future.

“Before all of this I was really struggling trying to find out what my path was going to be next year but it’s really helped me find my passion.”

She has realized her passion for communicating with people and hopes to go into religion, mass communications or public relations and work for a nonprofit organization one day.

George’s mom, Linda, said she knew the project would be ambitious but if anyone could do it then her daughter could. She said parents and grandparents alike have been involved in the process and are really looking forward to the final event.

“We expect great things from Molly,” said Linda.

The final packaging event will be held November 25 at 4:00 p.m. in the MCHS commons.

George said she expects the event to last up to an hour and half depending on how many volunteers participate. She explained the process saying there will be a short training and then volunteers will be grouped six to eight people to a table where volunteers will fill bags with each type of food and runners will go between the tables measuring the quantities before the bags will be vacuum sealed and packed 50 meals to a box.

Last Tuesday George was recognized as the MCHS Youth Volunteer of the Year by the Selmer Rotary Club for her efforts with Stop Hunger Now For more information or to contribute to this cause, contact Molly George at 731-439-6303.

RAIN OR SHINE! IN THE EVENT OF RAIN, PARTY WILL BE HELD IN THE SELMER COMMUNITY CENTER

Publisher

In last Monday’s meeting the mayor and board agreed to donate $1,000 to sponsor the Michie School Project. Ann Bowers presented to the board the development of a committee dedicated to preserving the history of Michie School, their mascot and artifacts collected from area citizens.

The committee is planning a celebration during a basketball game on November 25 to honor the history of the blue devil and the history surrounding the selection of a mascot in 1949. Several alumni will be present and honored with a reception following. The city agreed to sponsor the event and hospitality room unanimously and amend the budget to reflect.

The committee’s goals were to restore the blue devil on the gym floor which was recently completed by the Board of Education. The second phase was to collect memorabilia from 1929-1969 to house in the school in a display case and their third phase is to collect the history of the school for preservation, according to Bowers.

Janice Durbin, city recorder, reported repairs on the drive through window were complete and cost $564.09.

Work on Dillon Road Bridge was reported complete except for some paving needed. The board agreed to use Steve Redmon to complete the paving quoted at $11,600.

Citizen Ben Avent addressed the board regarding a water line leak on his property totaling 624,000 gallons lost. “The water line has been there 10 years. I was not aware the line broke and guess the cows stepped on it. I am here to pay what I owe but looks like to me we shouldn’t have to pay more than a regular rate,” said Avent.

The board told Avent about their adjustment policy which allows an adjustment one time annually for leaks. The total bill was $3,292.74 which he was required to pay half of the bill for his one time adjustment. Avent wrote the check prior to leaving the meeting.

Roger Jenkins, water plant manager, reported the construction on the plant was going well. This is a result of a recent grant the city received. He reported to the board that he may have an employee out due to illness and may need some help. The board took no action but requested Jenkins to alert the board to any needs going forward.

The board briefly discussed the recent vandalism at the city park concession stand and cameras but took no action. The board approved the renewal of TML general liability insurance. The board plans to change the date of their next meeting due to the school celebration but will notify the public of the change.

The board reported a successful Halloween event in the park last Saturday prior to closing.

The 2nd Annual Main Street CHRISTmas Festival is scheduled for Dec. 7, and plans are already in place to fill the downtown with decorated trees for the festival. Last weekend, some of the organizers visited the Duncan Christmas Tree Farm to place orders for the trees that will adorn Selmer’s Court Ave. this December. In addition, new electrical poles have been installed to ensure that there will be enough power to light all of the trees.

Ramer to raise water rates for next 5 years

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The Ramer City Commission voted to increase water rates from 2015 to 2018 at its meeting last Monday. This is on top of the 10 percent increases in 2012, 2013 and 2014 that had been voted earlier.

Under the plan suggested by Joyce Wellborn, Division of County Audit of the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office, the city would raise rates nearly 20 percent in 2015,

What Tony Chapman will bring to the office:

TN Technology Center - Electronics

11.5 percent in 2016, nearly 7 percent in 2017 and 5.5 percent in 2018.

The reason rates were increased is that under the previous plan expenses were assumed to increase at 2 percent a year and they have actually been increasing 5 percent annually.

“If we don’t, they will come down here to tell us what to do,” Commissioner Danny Ayers said about the state.

Ayers said that Ramer’s water rates are still at the low end compared with other systems.

INDEPENDENT APPEAL v PAGE 7A

McNAIRY VOICES

Dear Editor: A new kind of letter without anything to cry over or complain about, and I’m certainly not going to toot anyone’s horn. It’s a simple question that myself and some friends argued about...and I lost. But I can’t accept the defeat... hopefully some readers will respond. They ought to respond; I taught a lot of them how to write.

The question has to do with names. Everyone has one, two, three, or more. But most have 1!! Bob Carol, Ted and Alice shared names- nicknames- initials even. I have 3 last names for my full name: Brooks Ellis Ross, all last names, even family names. I trust that they are not closely related but you never know...both my grandmothers had Ellis for their maiden name about 100 miles apart. You do the math if you want to, I don’t.. I just roll with it.

So...does the Jr. stay forever or just until the Sr. dies? I can see it both ways, but what do you believe? I maybe should ask what you think, but that’s pushing it. Respond to the newspaper that prints this and we’ll know who and what they print. Free press, it’s a 1st amendment right if we use it. If we don’t, guess what... we lose it.

Brooks Ellis Ross P.S. We lost a good man a while back...I just found out last weekend- Steve Brown. Steve is the father of McNairy Co. Junior High Olympic Games.

He did it all- with a little help from his friends. To continue in his place I would like to mention a couple of young men who can do it if you will let them. Our current Teacher of the Year in McNairy Co., Nick Cook, and a future Teacher of the Year, Charlie Horton. I believe they both participated in the Olympics when in Jr. High School. I know Nick did, he may have even won a medal? As for Charlie, who knows, I believe I would have heard about it if he had won. But as everyone knows, I’m crazy as a loon...even got my papers. But back to the Jr. High Track meet- it’s one of the best kept secrets in the county, don’t let it end.

Who is going to win the election for Mayor of Selmer? David Robinson, John Smith, Tony Chapman and Roger Hill are running.

Brenda Kaddatz (Selmer):

Jay Klug (Selmer):

Brenda Pierce (Selmer):

Harold Knight (Selmer):

“I think Chapman should win because he is the only one I’ve read and heard about that wants to do something about this boring town we have and make things possible for kids to have a future.”

“I’m for Chapman because... nobody can make any money that’s living in poverty. It’s kind of sad.”

“Hill, of course, “Probably, because he’s Robinson. I’m good.” thinking it will be the same guy (that’s in there now).”

Travis Foster (Selmer):

Lorene Puckett (Selmer):

“John Smith. I think he’d be the best man for the job.”

“John Smith, I certainly hope, because he’s a good man and I think he’d make a very good Mayor.”

Dear Editor: As we prepare for the upcoming Christmas mail campaign, Mail for Our Military would like to extend special thanks to those who participated in the most recent campaign: The Stantonville FCE in Michie, led by Hilda Ashe and the McNairy County 4-H Honor Club in Selmer, led by Julie H. Harstin.

Mail is received from all across the nation, mixed thoroughly before being divided into hundreds of packages, both large and small, then sent to military units across the U.S. and around the world.

As the continuation of the Vietnam Mail Call project which was launched in 1965, this mail has been bringing smiles to our men and women in uniform for almost a half-century.

Anyone who would like to know how to join the Mail for Our Military campaign can receive complete information and instructions by sending their name and mailing address to P.O. Box 100, New Madrid, MO 63869 (time is of the essence).

The troops will thank you, and so do we.

Safety Experts urge caution to keepchildren safe this Halloween Safety experts at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt want Halloween horrors to be caused by ghosts and goblins, not accidents and injuries.

On average, twice as many children are killed while walking on Halloween than on any other day of the year, according to Safe Kids, an organization dedicated to preventing unintentional injury. As children prepare for October’s fun-filled night of trick-or-treating, a few precautionary measures could prevent vehicle-related deaths and other injuries.

“On Halloween, more children are on the street after dark than normal, and they are so excited that they may run out into the street without thinking,” said Sarah Haverstick, Safe Children Program Manager at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. “Drivers need to take extra care and slow down on neigh-

borhood roads. And, of course, it’s very important that drivers put down mobile devices to avoid distraction.”

Children’s Hospital is partnering with Safe Kids and FedEx to help prevent unnecessary death and injury this Halloween. Across the country, 156 Safe Kids Coalitions, with support from FedEx volunteers, will provide reflective materials and safety information to children and parents. Children are encouraged to wear the reflective material on Halloween night to increase their visibility to drivers.

“Parents need to talk to their children about watching out for cars while trick-ortreating,” said Haverstick. “And make sure that their costumes have something reflective on them so cars can see them. You could even have kids put on a glow stick necklace or a reflective slap bracelet.”

Haverstick recommends these tips to

keep children safe on Halloween.

Top safety tips for kids: Costumes can be both creative and safe. The most important thing is to make sure you can be seen by drivers. Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors. Masks can obstruct your vision, so choose non-toxic face paint and makeup whenever possible. Carry glow sticks or flashlights so you can see better, as well as be seen by drivers.

Cross the street safely at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. Look left, right, and left again when crossing, and keep looking as you cross.

Put electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street.

Walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to

the left as possible.

Slow down and stay alert. Watch out for cars that are turning or backing up and don’t dart out into the street or cross in between parked cars.

Top safety tips for drivers: Slow down in residential neighborhoods. Remember that popular trick-ortreating hours are 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Be especially alert and take extra time to look for children at intersections, on medians and on curbs. Halloween is an exciting time and children may move in unpredictable ways.

Reduce any distractions inside your car, such as talking on the phone or eating, so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings.

For additional Halloween safety information, visit Children’s Hospital’s website or review Safe Kids USA’s safety tips.

McNairy Central claims third win against Jackson Christian

By Sarah Rowland Sports Writer

The MCHS Bobcats took an early lead and just kept trucking toward the win in a game at Jackson Christian School last Friday night.

McNairy Central Jackson Christian

35 19

The game started off with what seemed to be a warm up quarter for the frosty night on the gridiron as both teams failed to find the scoreboard ending the first quarter 0-0.

In the second quarter, quarterback Isaac Cagle was the first to find pay dirt for the Bobcats when he found the end zone on a quarterback keeper. Later in the quarter, Darwin Kelly also made his way into the end zone for the Bobcats giving them the lead 14-7. The Bobcats were able to hang on to their lead and take the game into halftime with the score still 14-7.

As the Bobcats came back to play in the second half, Kintavius Newsome rushed to bring the ball to their opponent’s 28 yard line, although after two incomplete passes on the next plays, possession was returned to JCS without achieving first down.

With less than three minutes left in the third quarter, Newsome found the end zone for the Bobcats. With the score, the Bobcats were able to extend their lead to 21-13, trying to hold on and take home the win from the Eagles.

In the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Eagles took the ball and looked like they may be able to sustain a drive against the Bobcat defense. Until Reggie McNeal came through with an interception, then he returned 80 yards down the left side of the field for another Bobcat touchdown bringing the MCHS lead to 28-19 midway through the fourth quarter.

Quarterback Isaac Cagle scored the final touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter with less than three minutes left in the game. The Bobcats had a lead and it was now up to the defense to hang on and bring home the win.

After some last ditch efforts from the Eagles, the Bobcats’ quarterback proved that he could play defense too, as he came away with a huge interception that pretty well ended the game. After taking back over on offense, the Bobcats ran the ball, kept the clock moving and came away with their third win of the season, eclipsing their win total from last season. The Bobcats will play their final game of this season Friday night at home against the district rival Chester County Eagles. This will be a tough match-up as the Eagles blanked the Bobcats last season, but McNairy has a little momentum and it is anybody’s game.

Lady Cats finish season strong

By Sarah Rowland Sports Writer

The Lady Cats soccer finished the season strong having advanced to the region semifinals.

After playing the district final match up against Chester County two weeks ago, the LadyCats went on to play against Dyersburg in the first round of the region finals last Tuesday in Dyersburg, Tenn.

Dyersburg McNairy Central

3 0

Though the Lady Cats didn’t take the win, they played a tough game holding off scoring to just one goal for Dyersburg by halftime. However, in the second half Dyersburg came back with two more goals and the win. Goalie Holley Moore saved 12 of the opponents 15 shots on goal and the Lady Cats attempted six shots on the Dyersburg goal.

The Lady Cats ended the season with an overall record of 9-7-1.

Coach Jerry Lott said the team had a good season considering they finished in the region semifinals.

“Coach Becky Adkins and I would like to thank all our players for their hard work and dedication this season,” said Lott, “Special thanks to Coach Doug Lowrie and all our parents for their help and support this year.”

Monday Night Football This past week’s Monday Night Football match-up saw the Seattle Seahawks travel to St. Louis to take on the Rams. Seattle, who has only lost one game this year, came into the game with a ton of momentum and looked to run over the Rams who were without starting quarterback Sam Bradford. The Rams’ defense came to play, as they held the high powered Seattle offense to only 14 points in the game. They gave up only a single touchdown in both the second and third quarters. Unfortunately for the Rams with Bradford out, the offense could not get it done against the Seahawks. Seattle’s ‘D’ stopped the Rams in their tracks not giving up a single touchdown and holding the team to only three field goals in the entire game. The Seahawks will be at home in their next match-up when the 0-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers come into town looking for their first win of the season. The Rams will look to get back on track and find a way to get the offense rolling when they host the Tennessee Titans who are now 3-4 and looking to improve on their record and catch the Colts in the AFC South.

Submitted Beginning on Monday November 4 SMS will institute a new traffic pattern designed to increase student safety and allow you to pick up your students quicker. We ask that parents, grandparents, and students work with us and follow all directions as outlined.

Bus Traffic Most buses will load at the West Entrance of the school (next to the city pool) and will exit toward Selmer Elementary School. Special Education (SPED) buses will continue to load at the front entrance to the school between 2:30 and 2:55. W.T. Yarbrough and Randy Roten’s buses will also load at the front entrance at 3:10. No traffic will be allowed on the road around the gym to Selmer Elementary School until all buses have left at approximately 3:15.

Car Rider Traffic Enter the campus from either Poplar Avenue or Highway 64. DO NOT use the road from Selmer Elementary because we must keep that road open for buses. The car rider line will form as in the past—the

first car in line should stop at the corner.

When the last SPED bus leaves at approximately 2:55, the car rider line will pull forward to the end of the sidewalk at the main entrance. We will begin loading cars at 3:00 (not 3:15 as in the past).

As the line moves forward, please pull up as far as possible and do not leave gaps in the line. This will enable us to more quickly and efficiently load students. Exit the campus using either Poplar Avenue or Highway 64. DO NOT use the road leading to Selmer Elementary because we must keep that road open for buses.

After the last bus leaves at approximately 3:15 this road will be open to thru traffic.

Do not park along the edge of the parking lot by the walking track. This area must be kept open for the buses and cars leaving the school. For safety’s sake, please do not walk across the parking lot to pick up your students. Please stay in your cars and go through the line. Encourage your student to be alert and enter the car as quickly as possible. If there is a delay with one student it slows the entire line.

AHS students honor heroes in art exhibit By: Amy Reid Adamsville High School campus reporter

Local EMT Kenny Newell was just out doing some errands when he got a heartwarming surprise. Newell was at Adamsville’s City Hall when he found an essay written about him included in a display of student work. He was a worker at the scene of a terrifying car wreck, and he pulled Adamsville High School junior Allison Wilson from the wreckage. Because of his actions, she chose him when asked to write about her hero for an art class. Her essay is the moving account of how he put his own safety aside in order to save her, and it is accompanied by a stunning black-and-white photo of her mangled car.

Essay writing is not usually a typical activity in an art class, but teacher Lisa Engle introduced the project to her advanced art students. They were asked to think of society’s idea of a hero, and then to find a personal hero. Students wrote essays about their selections and used black-and-white photography to communicate their ideas.

“I liked this idea because it allowed me to get to know my students better.

This lesson also helped students to explore the conceptual side of art and how art helps the viewer to experience an idea or emotion on a deeper level,” Engle stated.

The students’ selections are varied, ranging from a relative who is a Marine to a brother who helped raise his sister after the death of their mother. One student wrote about a caring teacher, while another chose her mother and sister.

The projects will be on display at the Adamsville City Hall until Thanksgiving.

the inspiring works. Engle was gratified to learn that Newell saw his tribute and hopes that all the subjects will know how much they are admired. “I hope that the people our students look up to feel honored and that everyone will answer for themselves who their hero is,” she remarked.
