Ex-boyfriend confesses in Bethel arson

INSIDE THIS WEEK

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Danny Doles, 45, of Bethel Springs, confessed last Wednesday to burning down his ex-girlfriend Leah McGee’s house on 7870 Buena Vista Road in Bethel on New Year’s Day, according to a report provided by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department.

Inside the house were McGee’s two dogs, a Shiba Inu and Lab mix named Lilith and a miniature Dachshund named Milly.

The day after the fire, McNairy County Volunteer Fire Chief Darrell Goodrum found an SD card from a trail cam in the course of a follow-up investigation. This card contained photos of a person entering the dwelling before the fire and exiting after. McGee had installed the camera after coming home and finding a broken window the week before.

After his confession, Doles was charged with arson and two counts of animal cruelty for the death of McGee’s dogs.

Doles was then transported to Hardeman County Jail on warrants in that county.

The McNairy County Education Center was officially rededicated as the Charlotte Boley Education Center last Sunday. Dozens of people were on hand to congratulate the former director of McNairy County Adult Education.

The McNairy County Education Center was officially renamed for Charlotte Boley, who served as one of the first directors of McNairy County Adult Education, and is credited with growing the program into what it has become today.

Ironically, the building which Boley helped to secure so her students and the adult education program would have enough room to work, could barley hold the flood of dignitaries, family, friends and colleagues who came out to support her.

“Ms. Charlotte, this is an unprecedented thing because this is the first (educational) facility in McNairy that we have named after somebody,” McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks said. “That is a very small tribute to what you have done in McNairy County because, this program, and the success it has... is a direct result of what you have done.”

As a former school teacher himself, Brooks joked with Boley that

Leapwood man charged for shooting nephew

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Loyd Davis, Jr. has been charged with aggravated assault in connection with a shooting near Leapwood.

Davis is accused of shooting his nephew and neighbor Byron K. Robertson over the disappearance of Robertson’s dog.

According to Sheriff’s Deputy Danny Pinson’s report, he responded to a call to 327 Bob Williams Road on Jan. 7. He met Robertson, who had two small wounds on his body. He had been arguing with Davis over a dog.

Pinson then talked to Davis, who said he and his wife Tabitha Davis were putting up a camera on his gate. While they were doing this, Robertson approached them because he was upset that he could not find his dog. He said that Robertson was threatening him and his wife over the dog.

Mr. Davis then walked into his residence and called 911. While he was on the phone with 911, and said he shot up in the air to run a dog off his property.

Robertson then ran into his residence and retrieved a sawed-off shotgun.

After the incident, Investigator Robert Hitchborn retrieved the shotgun, which had been cut on the end Staff Photo by Brian Azevedo to make it one foot long.

Jesus Cares Gala: The Heart & Soul of the community

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

On Feb. 8, Jesus Cares of McNairy County will host their annual Heart & Soul Gala at the McNairy Central High School Commons. Organizers are hoping that this year’s event will be the largest ever. The Gala offers attendees a selection of great food, great entertainment and great opportunities to help fund the ministries of Jesus Cares.

“This should be a really, really good fundraising event for Jesus cares,” said Bill Abernathy Chairman of the Heart & Soul Gala. “I think it’s going to be good for Jesus Cares and good for the community.”

Abernathy praised the work of Gary Kirby and Martha Glover who coordinated with donors to provide items for this year’s auction.

“I think they have just done a wonderful job with this,” Abernathy said.

Celebrity auctioneer Jim Eikner, marketing manager and the on-air pledge host for WKNO Memphis for 26 years will be there along with McNairy County’s own Mark Kennedy at the auction table. The list of items for auction keeps growing. Abernathy said that he saw Eikner at a dinner party last year and asked if he had any suggestions for a celebrity auctioneer, and Eikner volunteered to do it himself.

“He is recognizable because of his work (in Memphis), and he will be good...really fun,” Abernathy said.

The silent auction will be held from 5-7 p.m. and the grand live auction begins at 7 p.m.

Some of the incredible items offered include four tickets to a Beth Moore weekend at the Fed Ex Forum in Memphis on Aug. 22-23, 2014, A night at the Peabody with dinner at the Rendezvous and brunch for two at the Peabody and a large selection of autographed footballs, baseballs, basketballs, and helmets by Dan Marino, Jerry Rice, Stan Musial, Willie Mays, Rick Patino, all three Mannings, Paul Hourning, Josh Pastner, and Hugh Freeze.

Additional items include vacation packages to Gulf Shores and the Great Smoky Mountains with available dates in the fall of 2014, gift certificates for Bermuda sod, gift certificates to several area restaurants in Corinth, Miss. and McNairy County; or if you prefer to cook at home...a Holland grill.

The auction will also feature items for any taste with gift baskets donated by local churches and schools, artwork, sports tickets and memorabilia and much, much more.

Abernathy encouraged everyone in attendance to have a great time and bid on some items. He said that Jesus Cares is a wonderful local charity that helps local people.

“This is a substantial part of the going forward money for Jesus Cares,”Abernathy said. “It adds a lot to the bottom line... every year.”

The annual event is the premiere annual fundraiser for the Jesus Cares Ministries, and money raised goes toward helping fund ministries for the less fortunate in our county.

“We have gotten some really good people volunteering to do some really good things, and they have done it,” Abernathy said.

Come and bid on these great items while remembering

Saturday. Cletis Guest, who takes care of the property for Walter Miller, who lives in Florida, told Deputy Danny Pinson that a side door of a shop had been pried open and the garage door had been opened from the inside.

There was a boot print next to the pried open door.

Hitchborn, who arrived prior to Pinson, took a picture of the print.

Guest said that the reason he checked the property was that he saw a green four wheeler belonging to Troy Moore rammed into a fence that surrounds the property.

When he came up the drive, he noticed that the building had been broken into and that Miller’s yellow Honda Forman four wheeler was missing.

Anyone with knowledge of these crimes should call the Sheriff’s office at (731) 645-1004.

By Jeff Whitten The McNairy County Sheriff’s Department is investigating two ATV thefts that occurred last week. The first was on 6243 Vernie Kirk Road in Pocahontas last Friday.

Wayne Goolsby noticed that his 2000 Honda Rancher was missing from his shed.

Goolsby showed Deputy Zach Bay tracks that led down into his field, according to a report provided by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department. While following the tracks, Bay found shoe prints heading only in the direction of Goolsby’s residence. The prints were 11 inches long.

Goolsby’s nephew said that the shoe prints looked like Doc Martens.

Bay followed the ATV tracks to a residence on Locke Road on the Hines Gin Road side. The homeowners were asked if they saw anything and they said they did not.

The tracks came out onto Locke Road and continued towards Howell Lane.

The four wheeler has front and back racks, a 2-inch tow hitch and the big tires make it look like a 4 x4, when it is only a 4 x 2.

The case has been turned over to Investigator Robert Hitchborn.

The second occurred on 93 Nelson Road in Selmer last

For the Love of Literacy dessert tasting Talbott honored for 25 years of service fundraiser scheduled for Feb. 13 Diane Talbott celebrated her 25th year with the Home

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

Begin your Valentine’s celebration a day early this year, and join us for the Third Annual “For the Love of Literacy” dessert tasting. Featuring live music, dancing, door prizes and all of the candy, chocolates and baked sweets you can eat, it is a wonderful evening for a price that is easy on your wallet.

On Thursday, Feb. 13 from 5-8 p.m., The Independent Appeal will host the “For the Love of Literacy” dessert tasting Fundraiser at the Selmer Community Center. The event will feature dozens of dessert tasting booths, refreshments, and music from Andy Avery. This event is the perfect way to start any Valentine’s Day weekend, and best of all, every penny earned goes to the McNairy County Literacy Council.

Admission is only $5 (with children under five free), and proceeds go for the council’s work for programs at the Charlotte Boley Education Center.

We need your help...

If you would like to donate your time or money, volunteers are needed. Vendor booths are still open for those who would like to participate,

and financial contributors are welcome.

The vendors will be competing for one of three coveted awards including Best Dessert, People’s Choice Award and the Best Valentine’s Theme Presentation. The people’s choice award will be chosen by attendees and the remaining awards will be chosen by a panel of local judges.

All of the money will go to fund building expenses, testing fees and instruction for the adult education program as well as other literacy council programs such as the Family Resource Center, the McNairy County Individualized Graduation Program and Pilot Pre-K classes.

While the funding goes to the literacy council, the effects of these donations will be felt throughout the community.

“We hope everyone will come enjoy a great evening and leave with a better understanding of the thousands of children and families who lack the resources to read, succeed in school, operate a computer or find a better job,” said Janet Rail Publisher of the Independent Appeal.

To volunteer, contribute or to become a booth sponsor call (731) 6455346 for more information.

sometimes teachers have to wait a long time to fully see the rewards of their work.

Former McNairy County Mayor Mike Smith, who served at the time the education center was constructed, praised Boley for her commitment to her students and her community.

“We are all here today to say, ‘thank you for the commitment’ not only to us, but to the people who have gone through this facility and have had a new start in life,” Smith said. “That is what it is all about...a second chance. That is what (Boley) gave people.”

Micki Greer, who worked with Boley and now serves as an instructor of adult education, said that Boley was a leader who always saw the past, present and future of adult education.

Greer said that she learned how to be a better teacher through Boley’s work with students.

“Charlotte Boley’s style of leadership has enhanced the lives of all she has touched,” Greer said. “She fostered a positive workplace environment which led to success and a positive attitude always.”

Banking Company this month.

Talbott, who an Adamsville High School graduate, began her career at the bank in 1989 as a teller at the bank’s original branch in Finger. During her time at the bank, Talbott worked her way up from teller to a position as an administrative assistant prior to being promoted to branch manager at the bank. Talbott has served as the branch manager for the Finger Branch since 2001. In addition to running a business, Talbott has found the time to serve as matriarch for her large family, raising three children. Talbott’s children have now grown and have expanded the family adding seven grandchildren.

Since she began at HBC, she said that she has witnessed a large amount of change in the industry, but said that her favorite part of the job (helping customers) has remained the same. HBC will hold a reception celebrating Talbott’s quarter century on the job on Jan. 24 from 1-3 p.m. at their Finger branch. This reception is open to the public.

Holding back tears of joy, Greer finished her tribute by congratulating Boley saying, “You are my mentor.”

Ryan Franks, the current director of the new adult education program which combined the Wayne, Hardin and McNairy programs, thanked Boley for her contribution to the program and presented her with a commendation from the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development thanking Boley for her service and for her contribution to the adult education program in McNairy County and statewide.

Literacy Council President Carolyn Bowers, who presented the idea of dedicating the building to Boley before the McNairy County Commission last year, said that Boley was responsible for making the program what it is today.

“Charlotte wrote the grant that got this building built,” Bowers said. “When she came in (to the program) things changed rapidly.”

Bowers said that Boley’s dedication to her students was amazing.

“She did whatever it took to get her students an education,” Bowers said.

Ray Prather, who has been a member of the McNairy County Literacy Council since Boley’s tenure, said he remembered

when adult education shared space with the historical society in the old theater.

He recalled how the program bounced between facilities at that time, but said that it was Boley’s dedication which made its current facility a reality.

“We got here because of Charlotte’s pushing and shoving...to do what it takes to get the job done, and she always did so with a smile,” Prather said.

Patsy Pearson, supervisor of the Charlotte Boley Education Center was not able to attend last Sunday’s dedication due to a prior commitment, however, Pearson spoke to the Independent Appeal about Boley’s contribution to McNairy County Adult Education before the event.

Pearson said that Boley had a lasting impact in the life of every student she worked with.

While Boley’s position primarily served to assist adults in gaining a high school equivalency diploma, Pearson said that the children, and in some cases, the grandchildren of those Boley taught are now going through the school system.

Today, those students are graduating at a rate much greater than their parents.

Pearson said, at the time Boley served as the director of Adult Education, there was a motto which stated, “Teach the par-

ent...Teach the student.” Pearson said she believes Boley’s years of work with adult education students is still paying dividends with their children.

“Charlotte’s contribution to adult education in McNairy County is immeasurable,” Pearson said.

“I cannot imagine a more deserving person to receive this honor.”

Following the dedication, Boley said that she was able to grow the program because of the help she received from the community and her staff.

Boley said that she learned of the dedication just before Christmas and said that it was one of the best Christmas presents she has ever received.

She said that since she has left the program she has followed the progress of the program. Boley praised both Pearson and Franks for continuing her work.

Boley said that she wished that her parents Edgar and Virginia Morgan (who are deceased) could have personally attended the dedication, however she said that her sister told her before the ceremony that she knew they would be there in spirit.

“I know that mommy and daddy will be sitting there on the front row saying, that’s my girl.”

McMahan discusses the role of local courts

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

Nearing the end of his first eight-year term in office, Judge Van McMahan, McNairy County General Sessions and Juvenile Court, shared some of what he has learned and gave insight into the process his court follows in the cases he sees.

After growing up here in McNairy County, McMahan attended school and became an Insurance defense attorney, working from 1997-2002 in Birmingham, Ala. before making the decision to come back home to McNairy County.

During that time, McMahan worked mainly in civil litigation and criminal defense in federal court.

This work helped inspire McMahan to become a judge.

After coming back home, McMahan was elected to his current seat in 2006.

“I saw some judges in Alabama who were really overbearing and not friendly, who present a non caring attitude,” McMahan said. “A judge has to be a person who cares. If they are just there to earn a paycheck, you don’t get justice. People need justice whether it is the victim or it is the defendant.”

After practicing law for so many years in different courts. McMahan got the desire to run for judge because he felt like he could make a difference in the lives of those he worked with, especially in Juvenile Court.

“With the kids you can make a difference in their lives early,” McMahan said.

McMahan said that even in General Sessions Court with adults, the court has the power to change for the better the lives of those involved.

As the title states McNairy County Juvenile Court handles cases involving children under 18 years of age. General Sessions court handles only misdemeanor cases.

McMahan said that many people have misconceptions about what his courtroom does. He said that he hears some people calling for judges to put everyone in jail for a year (the maximum punishment allowed in a misdemeanor case.) McMahan said that he sees about 150 cases each Thursday. He said that our county jail, with only 95 beds, would fill up in a week’s time if he sent everyone to jail. In addition, he said that jail

is an expensive option for tax payers and will not help resolve the underlying issue in many cases.

“The really serious cases are not heard in General Sessions court,” McMahan said.

“People complain that General Sessions court only gives people a slap on the wrist, but that is what that court is set up to do.

It is to handle the non-serious cases where someone might get 10 days in jail.”

He said that the most common cases he sees in General Sessions Court are domestic assault, driving on a revoked license, DUIs or drug cases.

McMahan said that he sees a renewed trend in the justice system toward rehabilitation. He said that in the past, he saw people getting long federal and state jail terms for a first time drug arrest, and it was not working.

“I really believe in rehabilitation. That is the goal, right? To make people who commit crimes not commit crimes in the future.

Especially in drug cases. Jail time just does no good in drug cases.”

He cited sentences of 5 years for marijuana manufacture and up to 10 years for meth manufacture, and said that when those people were released they would go right back to it.

“Being in jail is not going to help somebody like that,” McMahan said. “When I am hearing cases in General Sessions for first offenses, young people especially, I don’t really want to put them in jail with other criminals because they will learn how to be a criminal.

Domestic assault is another big problem here, McMahan said. However, it is a problem without a simple solution.

“Nine times out of ten the victim will come in and say that they do not want to press charges, or they won’t come at all.”

He said that in many of the cases the victim and defendant will live together in a domestic violence case, which makes it more difficult to get both parties to participate.

Because of these circumstances, McMahan said that his options become limited in many domestic violence cases he sees.

McMahan also shared some details to the inner workings of a general sessions courtroom. He said that defendants will enter his courtroom and enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. If a guilty plea is entered, Mc-

McNairy County General Sessions and Juvenile Court Judge Van McMahan discusses the role of his courts in an interview with the Independent Appeal.

Mahan will render a sentence. If a not guilty plea is entered, the case will go to the district attorney for review. In this case the DA can talk to the victim, talk to the defense attorney and the arresting office and determine exactly what happened. He said that the DA is in the best position to determine how to proceed with the case. The DA can then prosecute or not, or they can work to enter into a plea agreement. When the DA brings a plea agreement, McMahan’s options are to approve or disapprove that plea.

In cases where he does not approve a plea, the DA can motion or the defense attorney can appeal and then take that case to circuit court.

In McNairy County, McMahan serves

the public in a unique position as a parttime judge. He said that only a handful of other General Sessions courts across the state work part-time.

He said this allows him to also practice as a lawyer in his Selmer law office. As an attorney, McMahan is limited to cases which could not fall under his jurisdiction.

This prevents him from taking most criminal defense and divorce cases which could both fall under General Sessions Court in McNairy County. McMahan said that being a lawyer also affords him the opportunity to help people.

McMahan said he plans to run again for another eight-year term as judge during the county elections in August.

How probation works: Commission determines who has authority over contract program

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The bulk of last Monday's meeting of the McNairy County Commission was devoted to a presentation by Law Enforcement Committee Chairman Stan Wheeler on the probation contract with Westate.

Circuit/General Sessions/Juvenile Court Judge Van McMahan, Circuit/General Sessions/Juvenile Court Clerk Byron Maxedon and Tony Brewer of Westate were also on hand to answer questions.

Though Wheeler acknowledged that McMahan, rather than the commission, has authority over this matter, he said this presentation was motivated by courtesy.

As reported earlier in the Independent Appeal, some of the commissioners and H. J. Maxedon criticized the contract at the commission's October meeting. Maxedon argued that the county should run this program.

Westate has provided probation services to the county for the past 13 years. County Mayor Mike Smith and Judge Bob Gray began the practice of contracting with a private company for probation services.

The county has jurisdiction over misdemeanors only.

The state runs felony probation.

Byron said that the county retains two-thirds of court costs and the proportion of fines retained depends on the type of offense and court. The probation officer does not get a percentage of these funds.

People who pay their fines and court costs can avoid probation.

The Court Clerk's office closes at 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and is closed all Wednesday afternoon. People who cannot pay during these hours can pay the probation office, which is open until around 6 p.m. Mondays and 6:30 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays. The probation officer will remit any fines or fees paid to him to the court clerk's of-

fice.

There is a $25 fee at the beginning of probation, a $25 fee at the end and a $44 per month fee as long as someone is on probation.

Offenders are allowed to pay in cash, a practice that was criticized at the October meeting. The reason for this policy is that 95 percent of defendants do not have a checking account. As a result, they would have to pay by money order, if payment by cash was prohibited. This would cost them more.

“We have found nothing to question,” Wheeler said about the committee's meetings on the issue.

The only county property used by Westate is the cubicle containing its office in the Justice Center.

Wheeler said that the county could not operate the program and have it pay for itself.

“I evaluate things every day,” McMahan said about the program.

In response to one question from the commission, Byron said that the state auditors do not have a problem with the probation officer handling the cash.

“It's worked well for us,” Byron said about the contract.

“I've tried to compare, but my problem is this: No one else will come here,” McMahan said.

The county gets 15 percent of probation money. They got nothing from the previous company and Hardin County only gets 10 percent.

People who cannot pay are declared indigent. This decision is made on a case-by-case basis, McMahan said.

People who pay fines and costs do have to pay the costs of supervised probation unless it is a drug offense, though non-drug offenders who pay will still be on probation.

McMahan will try to work with offenders to pay what they can if they cannot pay all they owe the court. Sometimes he gives them a month or two to pay so they won't have to go on probation.

Those who do not pay what they owe and do not make arrangements with the court, can be sent to jail. Westate has the right to initiate warrants, but the judge still has to approve them.

McMahan said he does not place offenders in violation of probation for mere non-payment, though he could. This is only done when they fail to appear in court.

Byron said that the clerk's office collected $431,000 from General Sessions Court criminal cases in 2012 and nearly $552,000 in 2013. He said he tries to run the office, which costs around $448,000 a year from one court. The rest of the revenue raised from the courts go to the county.

In other news from the meeting, the commission repassed a resolution naming a section of Highway 22 the Gooch Memorial Highway. The state lost the paperwork for the original request.

The commission also passed a memorandum of understanding with Adamsville for a Community Development Block Grant. The memorandum absolves the county of any responsibility for paying back the grant. Adamsville is using the county's eligibility for the grant.

Literacy Council looks to prepare McNairy County adults, students for future

By Christen Coulon

ers said. “Whatever their needs are, we try to help.”

In addition to Adult Education, the education center now houses the Family Resource Center, Pilot Pre-K, and the McNairy County Individualized Graduation Program.

Each of these programs works in its own specialized way to address and reduce some of the underlying factors that contribute to students leaving high school prior to graduation.

“A lot of times, these programs go together, because they target those (most at risk),” Bowers said.

She said that the same student who does not have a warm coat in Pre-K, may have trouble later on because they cannot afford the glasses which would allow them to read.

That same child may end up leaving high school early to seek work to help support their family. She said inevitably the children of that student will fall back into the same pattern, and it could continue for generations if no one does anything to break that vicious cycle.

Bowers told the story of a chance meeting the former Director of Adult Education and namesake of the education center, Charlotte Boley had with a former Adult Education student several years ago who told her that she would be able to buy Christmas presents for her children for the first time ever without outside assistance.

The student told Boley that she had been promoted to a management position at her work and then pointed to a car and said, “That is mine, I own it!”

Bowers said that she has seen that same story unfold for many of the students who have completed Adult Education.

“We have truly been blessed with everybody out there,” Bowers said of the Adult Education staff.

She said that if not for the work of the

The McNairy County Literacy Council has fought for decades to lessen the educational gap in our community through their work to meet the needs of our undereducated adults in the McNairy County Adult Education Program.

This year, the council has expanded its reach. In addition to helping adults without high school diplomas, the council now works to support all of the educational programs at the newly rededicated Charlotte Boley Education Center with the hopes that by helping current students, it reduced the future need for adult education.

Carolyn Bowers, president of the Literacy Council said that she has been with the program for many years and has watched it grow from its humble beginnings as a small organization whose members passed a hat just to meet the monthly rent to cover an adult education facility.

Since that time, Bowers said that both the Literacy Council and the adult education program have grown. Though the council’s work, and the dedication of its volunteers and the staff of the adult education program, McNairy County now has a permanent adult education facility at 701 Industrial Park Drive in Selmer.

Bowers shared the council’s mission statement to which it has strived to remain dedicated throughout its history.

“The goal of the Literacy Council is to support the educational programs of Adult Education that address the needs of undereducated adults in an effort to help these adults become independent, productive citizens.”

Bowers said that the council remains dedicated to this goal today, even through its expanded focus.

“We work with all of the programs (at the Charlotte Boley Education Center),” Bow-

Adult Education staff and the generous donations from the local community, none of this would have been possible.

Bowers said that fundraising has been a constant for the members of council since it began, but they have always found the money to move forward.

“The Literacy Council has no funding other than the generosity of the people, the churches and the businesses in this community,” Bowers said.

Bowers said that to the community support and the hard work of the teachers is changing lives, not just for the current generation, but for generations to come.

The need for these services is great. According to the state Literacy Council statistics, 1.03 million Tennesseans age 25 and over do not have a high school diploma. Of this number, 500,000 Tennesseans cannot read or write well enough to function in daily life.

However, the work they are doing is making a difference and the local numbers prove it.

Over the last 10 years, McNairy County Adult Education has served over 3,596 adults.

More than 804 GED’s were earned during this period. The Adult Education Center Programs provide valuable services to families of McNairy County.

This program received the Tennessee Award for Performance Excellence for 5 consecutive years. It has also received the Commissioner’s Award for Performance Excellence and a GED graduate received the Martha Brown Student of the Year Award.

In 2000, an estimated 5,510 people in McNairy County did not have a high school diploma. That was a total of 31.5% of our adult population 25 to 64 years of age, according to the U.S. Census.

A decade later, the percentage of students without a diploma dropped to 22.9% of the overall county population.

If local trends continue at this rate, the Literacy Council could make itself obsolete in the next quarter century.

That is a problem Bowers said she would love to have.

However, for those trends to continue, funding for these programs must be available.

Last year, the state of Tennessee cut its overall Adult Education budget by $158 million and consolidated many of the county programs including the McNairy County program which was combined with the Hardin and Wayne County programs.

The new director of the three-county program based in Wayne County, Ryan Franks, has worked hard to make sure that the loss of state funding does not translate into a loss in service, and so far the results have been promising. Only time will tell how these cuts will affect our state’s adult education system.

The loss in state funding is significant, but the local commitment remains strong to continue to assist adults in obtaining the knowledge and skills necessary for employment and self-sufficiency, but we need your help.

The Independent Appeal and the Literacy Council will partner together for the Third Annual “For the Love of Literacy” dessert tasting fundraiser just before Valentines Day, on Feb. 13 from 5-8 p.m.

All citizens are invited to attend and sample all the desserts for just $5 at the door, including a chance at great door prizes and entertainment by Andy Avery.

A better tomorrow for McNairy County cannot be successful without the continued help of our community. We are again asking area businesses and churches to book a space as a vendor for this year’s event to support literacy for all.

Call (731) 645-5346 for details to sponsor a dessert table, volunteer or make a donation to this worthy cause. Together we can build a brighter future.

School board, new director come to terms: Board gives Prince contract proposal

By Jeff Whitten

solved were salary, moving schedule, severance and duration of the contract.

Prince said that his oldest son, John Davis, wishes to finish his junior and senior years and play football at Trenton Peabody High School, which he currently attends.

Prince’s younger son, Miller, who is a freshman, also plays football and also might stay at Trenton, so they would both play at the same place and Prince could watch them. Miller may begin attending school here as early as Aug. 1.

Board Chairman Frank Lacey

Head News Writer

The McNairy County Board of Education and Director of Schools designate John Prince came to a consensus on the terms of his employment contract at a special called meeting on Jan. 7.

Board attorney Ross Mitchell will draft a contract that will be presented to Prince for signature. The board was scheduled to vote on the contract at a meeting that was held after press time Jan. 14.

The issues discussed and re-

said that the board and its constituents wanted someone who is invested in the community and that was why they wanted the Prince family to move to the county as soon as possible, but the decision as to where his oldest son attended school and played football was Prince’s.

The school board had a series of community meetings last year asking citizens the qualities they wanted in a director. Being invested in the community was one that was often mentioned.

“You handle that however you want to. We want the Director of

Schools to be here,” Lacey said.

“I did just unload a couch in Ramer,” Prince joked.

On a more serious note, Prince offered that his wife, Mollie and their two younger children, would be here, and it would be his goal to own property in the county by Aug. 1.

“I have looked at some plots of land,” Prince said.

Board members Larry Smith, Tony Chapman and Jean Jones said it was important to them that Prince and his wife reside in the county by the beginning of the next school year.

Milledgeville hosts Heritage Day on April 26 Publisher

The Milledgeville Heritage Day celebration on April 26 will be located in the city park and the saddle club arena, will celebrate the communities’ heritage and traditions.

The mayor and board are busy planning a great first event to include food vendors to include the legendary Fire Department BBQ, a mini tractor pull, sled rides for children with a pedal tractor, a team of oxen for rides, an antique tractor show, car show including motorcycles and more.

The board hosted Selmer Parks and Recreation Director Sybil Dancer, who discussed ways to beef up their existing Parks and Recreation Committee and host more family friendly events in the community in the future.

“I appreciate everyone's interest in this event and I believe it will be a great day,” said Mayor Dannie Kennedy. “I believe we should call it our first annual

and do this every year,” said Alderman Ricky Hollin. Board members voted unanimously to host and support the event in an earlier meeting. Interested persons willing to volunteer or participate can contact the mayor or any board member.

The board will request Gerald Parish, CPRP/CPSI Director Recreational Educational Services Division, to visit the city and offer a free evaluation of potential programs and services the city can offer the citizens in parks and recreation. The board thanked Dancer for attending and for her offer of support for future events and activities.

The mayor swore in Alderman Danny Williams who will complete the term of Dorothy Bridges, who resigned for health reasons.

The mayor reported continuing to seek bids on the roof repair and painting of the city hall building. The board approved minutes from the December meeting and the financial report.

Lacey expressed optimism that there would be a teaching position for Mollie in the county school system next year.

Under the proposed contract, Prince would be paid a base salary of $90,000 per year. With benefits, his total compensation would be $102,000 annually.

Current director Charlie Miskelly is paid a base salary of nearly $89,000 for a total compensation package of $99,000. The contract would last two years and Prince would get six months severance pay if he were fired without cause.

McNAIRY VOICES What do you think about the Adamsville High School band winning its eighth state championship?

Dan Aaron (Adamsville):

Martha Johnson (Savannah):

“I think they’re great.”

“I think it’s fabulous.”

Joel Kirk (Adamsville): “Delighted.”

Johnny Rowe (Adamsville):

Bobby Durbin (Enville):

Janice Suitor (Adamsville):

“The band’s got a good sound. It’s got one of the better sounds in the area. They’re just a good band.”

“I think it’s fine.”

“I think it’s wonderful.”

DEREK BODIFORD My name is Derek Bodiford and I am married to Sallie Simpson Bodiford. We have 4 children with one on the way in February, and yes, we know that there is something in the water. We are actually thinking of having about 20 more kids so we can star in our own reality TV show. I work for Simpson & Simpson Law Firm and as a Children’s Minister at Lakeview Baptist Church. I was able to get the position as the Children’s minister because the children and my own IQ are relatively the same.

I have lived in McNairy County practically all my life, and what an awesome thing it is to bring the county together with laughter and great fellowship. There are really great things about our county, but the greatest is our people. We are blessed with talented, gifted people all over our county and we should all start working to accomplish even greater things- TOGETHER. This is why this event is so awesome. It is a display of talent and gifts of our people and how we can come together to get things done. So I am excited about participating in this event.

I am even more happy and excited about this opportunity so I can not only display my comedic styling among my peers, but even more importantly, I get to really trash talk Bro. Luke DiLeVeRnA (does anyone know how to spell his name??) I love him! He is a great guy and a man after God’s own heart, however, anyone his age who is that skinny and that good looking (debatable observance) deserves to have his ego put in check. So I am excited about being used to accomplish that task- in love of course.

My name is Misti Gray, and I am one of the comedians that will be competing for King/ Queen of Comedy at the MRA Annual Banquet on Jan. 25, 2014. My husband is D.J. Gray, who owns a small business in Selmer, Gray Brothers Tire Service, with his cousin. Together we have two daughters, Haven, age ten, and Gia, age one. We live in Adamsville in the Leapwood CommuMISTI GRAY nity, but I am originally from Finger.

I am an RN Care Coordinator with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee CHOICES Program. I use the term “comedian” very loosely, as I have never stood in front of a group of people and told funnies. I am merely a woman, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, and a nurse.

All of my titles have molded the way that I look at our everyday life experiences, and I have been documenting these experiences on Facebook for a few years now. Nurses are notorious for having risqué mealtime conversations. Add that to 38 years of life experiences, two children, and a very funny husband, and you often times have a recipe for hilarity. My stories will be topics that most middle-aged women, moms, and fellow Facebookers can relate.

Everyone is invited to attend the MRA Banquet, and I would be thrilled to have your support as I undertake something that I have never done before.

Mary Nell Duncan Brasfield and James Lambert Brasfield

Mary Nell Duncan Brasfield went to be with the Lord on December 21, 2013, in Collierville, Tenn., and the love of her life, James Lambert Brasfield, joined her in Heaven two weeks later on January 5, 2014. Nell was born on April 16, 1926, in Crockett County, Tenn., to Jack and Nellie Duncan, and her husband James was born on March 7, 1928, in Crockett County to Robert Taylor and Nynn Almyra Brasfield.

James and Nell grew up together since their families lived on neighboring farms in Friendship, Tenn. They married on January 3, 1948, while James was on furlough from the Army. After James served during World War II and Korea and Nell graduated from Hamlett-Robertson in Crockett County, the young couple moved to Memphis, where James worked for the federal government at Mallory, DIPEC, and in Houston, TX at NASA, and Nell worked as a hair stylist. James and Nell remained in Memphis while raising their children, Jim and Jo. The Brasfield family attended Wells Station Baptist Church, Oakhaven Baptist Church, and Southland Baptist Church while living in Memphis.

After retiring in 1985, James and Nell built a home in Bethel Springs, Tenn., where they joined Mt. Gilead Baptist Church. The families of Mt. Gilead embraced the Brasfields, and James and Nell were extremely happy with their new church home.

With a real zest for life, Nell loved to work at church and sing in the choir. James, with a work ethic that was second to none, did everything from restoring the parsonage, helping to rebuild the church, and serving as a deacon. In honor of her parents, and as a testimony of their love for the church, the Brasfield’s daughter, Jo Powers, painted the church baptistry.

Possessing a true servant’s heart, James faithfully lived his life as an example of a selfless provider. He sacrificed personally so that his children and his grandchildren could experience lifelong, enriching endeavors through participation in sports, youth trips, camps, and piano lessons. As a voracious reader, James encouraged higher education and curiosity in all his family. James was a quiet, humble man of incredible patience and discipline. His family knew that they had his love without end.

In addition to her love of the church and her love of singing in the choir, Nell Brasfield enjoyed cooking and traveling, especially with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Known for her ease in conversation, Nell possessed a contagious smile and an entertaining sense of humor. Her signature gift of joy, shown through her constant smiling, laughing, and joking around, will always be remembered by her children and grandchildren.

James and Nell were married for 65 years, and their marriage and life together was a true love story of commitment to each other and a lifetime of taking care of each other.

James and Nell Brasfield leave their son, Jim Brasfield and his wife Barbie, and their daughter, Jo Powers and her husband Pete. They also leave their grandchildren, Josh Storz, April Allen (Chris), Jake Storz (Kristin), and Anna Brasfield, Justin Tudor (Chelsea) and Will Tudor; and their great-grandchildren, Brooklyn and Austyn Storz, Evie Allen, Jackson and Peyton Powers, and Brayden Tudor. In addition, Nell leaves her siblings, O.H. Duncan (Elizabeth) and Ann Baker. James leaves his siblings, Bob Brasfield, Helen Shores, Nita Simpson, and Myra Grace Wright (Ray), who lovingly cared for James and Nell in their home on so many occasions, and a host of other loved ones and friends.

Story of a pretty lady The Polar Vortex

By Dorothy Goodrum

Contributor

When my husband was working at General Electric he sometimes would mention a lady he worked with who he thought was a very pretty lady, Mrs. Betty Horton. I knew Ms. Betty and agreed with him. She is a very pretty lady who always seems to have a smile to offer. I would often see her at Walmart and if she was working on the cash register, I would always try to go through her line. A few days ago I was pleased to learn Mrs. Betty had knee surgery and had chosen to come to be a patient in our transition unit for therapy. I was sorry to learn about her need for surgery, but very pleased she would give us the opportunity to work with her on her therapy.

Mrs. Betty was born in Tyronza, Arkansas, the youngest of thirthteen children. I was the youngest of twelve, so now I had something in com-

By Toni Watson

So we’ll leave it to the meteorologists to talk about how those polar winds that normally whip around the North Pole decided to veer off to the lovely city we call home. We understand lots of places and people and animals in other places were adversely affected.

I mean, even the polar bear in the Chicago zoo wasn’t allowed to go outside in it. Seems that unless a polar bear has a regular diet of seals and whale carcasses, she doesn’t have the layer of fat needed to protect her from the icy weather. I understand. Here I sit, intentionally adding to my layer of fat with cookies and hot chocolate – I’m preparing to go outside to feed the birds at any time now!

Seriously, some of us were caught off guard to be prepared for temperatures this low. Our checklist of things to do included that trip to the grocery for bread and milk, undoubtedly. But wrapping those exposed water pipes may have not occurred to us before. Having kitty litter in the car to spread in case we got stuck on ice may have been done, but that old battery might have not been able to start up the pickup on Tuesday morning. Saving for the upcoming heat bill may have slipped, also, but that heat bill is bound to show up before the month is out. TVA said the electrical demand was the second highest record in its history since it began back in the depression era. TVA serves seven states and the average temperature was a mere 4 degrees on our most frigid day. In addition, natural gas usage set a record nationwide.

Yes, there are those challenges for us as individuals or as families, whether we live in a house, an apartment, a trailer, or an upstairs garage. However, imagine if you were charged with the responsibility to keep the city going during weather that could bring challenges to our infrastructure and city workers. So what do our city fathers do during these times?

First, they make sure the city buildings stay operative and free of any weather-induced damage. The Marty, the library, the Senior Center, the park’s pavilion, the Garran building, Pusser Museum, and the public works offices are prepared and monitored just the way we take care of our own residences. There’s a supply of chemicals to be certain all the sidewalks and entryways to those buildings remain free of sleet and ice. The State Department of Transportation is responsible for laying the brine down on the highways to help melt any ice or snow we may get, so the city doesn’t have to worry about making that decision when the weather forecasts sound scary.

But there’s that frozen water in the pipes that could happen. First of all, where we’re concerned about the pipes in the house freezing, the city is charged with seeing the water gets from the water sources to the meters for the houses. Well, we had a bit of difficulty there because some of the plastic coverings that surround the meters could have been broken or cracked by lawn mowers. That’s no problem if the winds and cold aren’t so severe. But with the weather we’ve had,

mon with Mrs. Betty. She married Loyd Ray “Buckle” Horton and they had three children, Alan Horton, Debbie Gladish and Shari Isbell. She also has two grandchildren, Kellie Millmeyer and her husband Timmy, Lori Suggs and her friend Lisa Benzel; three great grandchildren, Justin Benzel, Hannah and Trevor Millmeyer; two great grandchildren Kayden and Karmen.

She retired from General Electric after 26 years and is currently on her 18th year at Walmart. She enjoys working in her yard, shopping, traveling and spending time with her family. In the summer, Ms. Betty could do tanning commercials, as she always has the prettiest tan.

She had her right knee replacement on December 30, 2013 and she heard how good our therapy department was at working on our goal of “Get Well, Live Well,” so she decided to come to our home for

her therapy. She states it just does not feel like a nursing home. The rooms are great and the staff is all so nice. Now, that brought a lot of smiles from the staff here at McNairy County Health Care Center. Yes, we are a long care facility but we also have a skilled unit that is primarily set up for therapy patients whose primary goal is to get well and go home.

I could tell you many stories about my friend, Betty Horton, but I will tell you this about Mrs. Betty’s niece, Julie, who also works here in MDS. Julie heard that Ms. Betty was going to be admitted.

She said “Oh, that’s great.

She is such a good person and one of my favorite aunts. Well, during her time here, she has become

Betty Horton a lot of people’s favorite.

She has worked so hard with our therapy department and she still always has that great smile. Good luck Ms. Betty on your return to your home and hope to see you back at Walmart soon, with that great smile only you have.

If you can make a trip to Walmart pleasant for me, now that is a great accomplishment.

Until next time.

some frozen meters have resulted. The city quickly responds as residents call in to report their problem. In fact, they’ll help you with water cutoffs if pipes burst within your house. If your pipes burst during regular work hours, just call the utility department (632-1401) and help will come to you. If you have a pipe burst after office hours, ring 911 and help will be on the way.

We don’t have to worry about the water towers freezing and you really don’t need to set aside an emergency supply of water in case of a power outage because the city has a ready supply of diesel fuel to keep generators running that will keep the water flowing—both fresh water and sewage water. There’s only a small section of homes served over by Caney Branch that would need to set aside some water because their lines include grinder pumps.

Now, about keeping warm. You know how our

INDEPENDENT APPEAL v PAGE 9A

hearts go out to those who are on hard times. Well, so do the hearts of our city fathers. There always comes a time when utilities need to be cut off for lack of payment. We just can’t give away utilities that we pay for as a city. Yet, in times as frigid as these, the utility department is making some exceptions to leave gas lines open to homes even if the water is cut off. Not the best of living conditions, granted, but better than lacking a warm place to huddle down until finances improve.

Well, “The Biggest Little Town in Tennessee” isn’t going to risk the welfare of her workers when the temperatures are prohibitive. Although our trash pickup is subcontracted, city employees accomplish our recycling pickups. So if the temperatures are too low to send our workers out on a pickup day, remember you can always place your recyclables in the dumpster behind city hall. No need to separate your items. After you’ve dropped off your bag, just go in the front door and let them now you need another plastic bag to begin again. The employees that read our water me-

ters are enjoying reading them remotely as they drive through the neighborhoods – sure beats getting out in the weather. Our conversion to the new water meters is almost complete and then the city will begin installing the transponders on the gas meters for those to be remotely read, likewise.

If you were wondering whether our emergency crews are able to respond to any calls they get in the midst of weather difficulties, the answer is a sound, “Yes!” Our new Fire Chief, Mark Hardy, and his volunteers are ready to roll out at the first call. Our police force continually protects and watches over our welfare. We are indeed fortunate to have such dedicated and genuinely concerned guardian angels for our city.

So, there you go. You know as much as I do about how Adamsville keeps a’chugging along even when the temperatures bring everything else to a standstill. And I won’t be standing still on my scales anytime soon until I can get this emergency layer of fat whittled down.

The Adamsville Cardinals travelled to Middleton, Tenn. for a district match-up against the Tigers. Both Cardinal teams played well, but it was the boys’ team who came away with a huge win.

During the first quarter, they gained a lead of seven points, a lead they managed to keep the rest of the game. The first quarter ended with a score of 14-7.

During the second quarter, Chester County managed to score 15 points, but it was not enough to come out ahead as the quarter ended with McNairy still ahead 30-22.

After half-time, the defense played astoundingly, as Chester County was only able to make seven more points.

However, their seven points were no match for McNairy’s offense, because they increased their lead and ended the third quarter with a score of 53-29.

During the fourth quarter, Chester County’s offense fought hard to level the playing field, but ultimately, they were no match for McNairy Central, and the game ended with a 20 point gap 68-48.

“This game was probably our best game of the season,” said head coach Jerry Lott. “We had good balance on offense with four players in double figures and eight who scored. This win also puts us in first place in the district standings.”

Blue Devils 37 Hawks 17

Lady Lions 36 Lady Eagles 29

The Lady Lions started off with a pretty slow lead during the first quarter of 3-0.

After half time, things finally got going and the intensity began. The Lady Lions offense played great, but were falling behind at the end of the third quarter with a score of 15-21.

During the fourth quarter, however, the Lady Lions defense held the Lady Eagles off, only allowing them to score eight points. The offense also fought remarkably to gain the points necessary to defeat the Lady Eagles.

All of their teamwork paid off as they defeated the Lady Eagles with a final score of 36-29.

Eagles 36 Lions 24

The Lions were off to a slow start in the first quarter of the game scoring six points, while the Eagles were ahead with 13.

The offense picked up the pace though and increased their score five points in the second quarter, leaving the score at half time 11-20.

During the third quarter, the offense played hard and scored ten more points. The defense also managed to hold up the Eagles fairly well, ending the third quarter with a score of 21-28.

The Blue Devils started off the first quarter with a four point lead on the Hawks and a final score of 8-4.

During the second half the Hawks came back, scoring seven points on the Blue Devils. It was not enough though, because the Blue Devils maintained their lead ending the third quarter with a score of 25-12.

The last quarter of the game the offense went out with a bang, scoring 12 more points on the Hawks. The defense stood their ground, too and only allowed the Hawks to score five more points. The game ended with a final score of 37-17.

“This was our first game back in a month and I thought we played well considering that,” said head coach Michael Cleary. “We probably looked a little sluggish at times, but we kept grinding and did some really things on offense and defense.”

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The McNairy Central Bobcats played host to Jackson Southside last week. The Lady Cats came away with a win, while the Bobcats were not able to complete the sweep.

The Lady Bobcats got off to a good start against the Lady Hawks, and they never looked back after taking an early first quarter lead.

McNairy looked to their defense in the first quarter, to help them get ahead and stay ahead. By allowing only eight points in the first quarter while scoring 14 of their own, the Lady Bobcats jumped ahead.

Once the second quarter was underway, Porsha Chappell, Mallorie Sweat and the Lady Bobcats exploded on offense and were able to put 21 more points on the board.

The defense kept their game up as well, as the Lady Cats were able to hold the Lady Hawks to only 12 points in the quarter. McNairy went into the halftime break up big over the Lady Hawks.

After the break, the Lady Bobcats turned it up on defense and made it difficult for the Lady Hawks to do anything on the offensive end of the floor.

While their offense did fall slightly from the second quarter, the Lady Bobcats were able to score with regularity, and they extended their lead moving into the final quarter.

With the huge lead, the Lady Cats looked to get some younger players some valuable experience on the court, and the Lady Hawks were able to make a run.

Although the Lady Hawks outscored the Lady Cats in the fourth quarter, McNairy was able to hang on for the big district win.

Once the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game was over, the Bobcats looked to carry the momentum over as they prepared to face one of the best teams in the state.

Both teams got off to a slow start in the first quarter, as they both looked for offensive rhythm, but it was the Hawks that were able to pull ahead.

Going into the second quarter down 117, the Bobcats had work to do to battle back and take the lead.

Once the second quarter was underway, the Bobcats were able to find their offense and get some more points on the board.

Unfortunately for the Bobcats, the Hawks found their rhythm as well, and exploded for 26 points extending their lead before the half.

After the break, Terrell Harris, Nick Crabb and the McNairy Central offense was determined to cut into the Hawk lead and get back in the game.

McNairy stayed consistent from the second quarter to the third, and were once again able to put up 15 points on the Hawks.

However, even though the Bobcats were able to slow down the Hawks, Southside was still able to outscore the Bobcats once again and extend their lead going into the fourth quarter.

McNairy continued to push the ball, and were able to have the highest offensive output in the fourth quarter.

The Bobcats were able to put 16 points on the board, but still did not have a answer for the powerful Hawks.

Although a valiant effort, the Bobcats fell to the Hawks 76-53 in the district match-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys played really hard, but we did not play really smart,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Steve Forsythe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to cut down on our turnovers and shoot better in order to win in our district. Southside is ranked number three in the state, and the guys gave a valiant effort.

They have size and speed, and we will have to take care of the ball better in order to beat them the next time we play.â&#x20AC;?

Fantasy Factory: Why we play the game

By Drew Wheeler Staff Writer

While the weather outside is frightful, we can all bundle together and wistfully wish it were already March 22, both for the (hopeful) warmth of the Spring and for the start of the 2014 Major League Baseball season.

The start of the season reflects the start of the Fantasy Season-and for many, this is a cause for celebration, while for others, an ongoing cause for concern and a never ending stream of unanswered questions. “Just what is this FANTASY Baseball,” they ask, “What’s the need in Fantasy and what does it even mean?” Fret not and read on, marauders of the sports section, the answers are just beyond the break.

Fantasy baseball is a game where players manage a group of Major Leaguers, and compete with one another using the Major League players’ reallife statistics to score points. While formerly compiled with pen, paper, and a dedication which sends this writer directly to the medicine cabinet, the integration of powerful computers into homes and businesses everywhere empowered fantasy baseball to become an internet phenomenon of nearly unrivaled proportions. According to a 2009 article from Forbes, nearly 11 million people worldwide play fantasy baseball today. Alex Rhodes, Eastview resident and fantasy player adds, “Fantasy Baseball is by far the most addicting fantasy sport to participate in.”

Not only are the managers themselves varied from league to league, but the leagues themselves are typically different from one another. While a league with the barest boned approach to scoring statistics may feature only the ten most common statistics (Batting average, runs, runs batted in, home runs, steals, pitching wins, a pitcher’s earned run average, a pitcher’s total strikeouts, the walks a pitcher delivers, and saves from closing pitchers), other leagues dive much deeper into the spectrum of sabermetrics, giving points for a pitcher’s WHIP (walks plus hits divided by innings pitched), WAR (wins above replacement), or even OPS (on-base plus slugging), a stat calculated as the sum of a player’s on-base percentage and slugging average.

Some leagues last only for the season which you draft, while others retain players every year. These leagues, known as “keeper” or “dynasty” leagues, (dependent on the number of players kept—keeper leagues maintain a select number of players while dynasty leagues keep the entire team from the previous year) are founded on the idea of playing more similarly to the actual game—gambling on the continued success of a player or players for multiple years—maintaining a roster of players over the course of the league. Locally noted fantasy player

Josh Tatum prefers a 12-16 team dynasty league, saying that he “likes the concept of kept players attached to rounds.” He also thinks that a straight rotisserie league is “better for people you may not know, and head to head is preferred for friends or colleagues.” The total options for scoring statistics and league makeup are nearly limitless, but the only way that every fantasy league will ever truly be separated is in the varied players per team.

The pre-season draft is what many owners consider the crucial moment of the fantasy season— what players you take and when you take them can make or break the team for the entire year.

Of course, being that fantasy baseball is a highly customizable game, why should the draft be a straightforward process? Not only can you draft in the traditional serpentine method, (first to last, the following round last to first, and continuing until all teams are fully drafted) but some owners have popularized the auction draft, where teams are given a set budget to fully stock their team within their financial means.

The greatest aspects of fantasy baseball, though, can all be traced back to the humanistic element that the sport provides—stemming from the players themselves, but also the managers playing the fantasy game. Trading players, building relationships, and most of all, enjoying the game, because after all, fantasy baseball was originally a game to extend people’s experience with America’s Pastime.

Tatum said that “Fantasy baseball has given me a greater appreciation for the entire league, instead of just being a ‘Cardinals fan’ or a ‘Braves fan’, or a casual fan who only knows the superstars.” He noted that he doesn’t have a favorite team, but “enjoys watching any team and all players, though I have a special place in my heart for Mike Trout, as he was the first big prospect that I followed.” Over my own years of playing the fantasy game, I’ve seen my passion for the game grow immeasurably, strengthening several friendships and providing numerous unforgettable memories along the way.

“It’s changed my entire perspective on baseball.”

Rhodes said, “Watching games becomes more interesting because I am constantly scouting players to pick up or trade for in my league by looking at different statistics and trends.”

Fantasy baseball is admittedly not for everyone, but for those who wish for a more enriching experience with Major League Baseball, the fantasy game may be the answer to your question.

(In the weeks to come, we will be taking a closer look at the players who you should be keeping your eyes on in the preseason—ranking players at each of the positions and letting you know who should be on your radar heading toward the season.

Ramer falls to Hardin County

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The Ramer Eagles faced off against the Hardin County Tigers, but could not come away with a win.

Tigers 37 Eagles 33

The Eagles got off to a good start against the Tigers, outscoring the Tigers 9-4 in the first quarter.

Once the second quarter was underway, the Eagles stayed consistent on offense putting up seven points. However, the defense could not stay as strong as the Tigers were able to put up 12 points of their own cutting the lead before halftime.

Starting the third quarter tied at 16, the Eagles struggled on offense coming out of the break.

The Eagles were only able to put up two points in the third quarter and fell eight points behind moving into the final quarter.

Ramer played hard and focused on making the come back. The Eagles were able to outscore the Tigers in the fourth quarter, but it was not enough to retake the lead and the Eagles fell to the Tigers.
