The McNairy Regional Alliance held their annual awards banquet last Saturday night. The event, which was held at the Pickwick Landing State Park, featured entertainment by professional comedian Larry Weaver and a wonderful three course dinner. This year was the first banquet in which local comedians were asked to step up to entertain at the event. Misti Gray, Derek Bodiford, Gregg Worthy and Luke DeLaVergne all took the stage and competed to be the first person named as a McNairy King or Queen of Comedy. During the show, audience members voted for their favorite comic, while learning who not to ask for a Christmas present. After the votes were tabulated, Gray was named the Queen of Comedy for the evening.

A fire destroyed a home in nothwest McNairy County on the evening of Jan. 19 at 1860 Mt. Gilead Rd. near Bethel Springs. Volunteer firefighters from the Birdlock, Rose Creek and Bethel Springs fire departments worked to put out this blaze. The home, occupied by a family of four, was a total loss. No residents or firefighters were reported injured in that blaze. High winds drove several large fires last week. At least two local homes were destroyed by flames, and several other brush and forest fires were reported throughout the area.

Another fire occurred last Wednesday morning at 2400 Litt Wilson Road south of Finger. Smoke from this blaze rose hundreds of feet into the sky and could be seen from as far away as Selmer. Volunteer firefighters from Finger, McNairy and Bethel Springs fire departments worked in freezing temperatures to put out the flames. A family home along with several out buildings were destroyed in the fire.

A forest fire in Hardeman County at the border with Chester and McNairy counties burned over several acres off of Rowland Lane last Friday. Flames from this fire burned the ground up to the skirting on a mobile home at 30 Rowland Ln. However, firefighters arrived in time to save the home from the flames. Tennessee Forestry worked with firefighters from Chester County and the Rose Creek Volunteer Fire Department to put out the blaze.

Tonya Knight, who along with husband Christoper Knight, was charged with the murder of Peggy Alexander, 71, of Savannah, Tenn. has had her bail reduced to $25,000 (which she met) and has been released, according to a spokesperson for the Hardin County Circuit Court Clerk’s office.

Tonya’s bail had originally been set at $500,000 after the couple was arrested last year. She is originally from Adamsville.

Christopher has been moved from the Hardin County Jail to a special needs facility in Nashville, Tenn. His bail was set at $1 million.

The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Feb. 6.

On March 10, 2012 Christopher Knight called the police around 9 a.m. and reported that he found his mother dead in the home they shared, according to the Savannah Police Department.

Knight told Sgt. Mark Mitchell of the Savannah police that the last time he saw his mother alive was around 11:30 p.m. the previous night. Knight also said it was not unusual for him not to see his mother for a day or two despite the fact that they live in the same house and their rooms were next to each other.

Knight told Mitchell that he had left the house that morning, went to the bank to get some money and then ate breakfast at a fast food restaurant. He found his mother dead when he came back and called 911, staying on the line until Mitchell arrived.

The Violent Crime Response Team from the Memphis Crime Lab responded and gathered evidence from the scene.

TBI agents believe that Alexander was murdered between 1-2 a.m. on March 10.

In the investigation, which was also assisted by the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department, investigators found evidence they believe suggests a strained relationship between Alexander and the Knights. Alexander allegedly expressed a desire to move and change her will in regards to Christopher Knight, who admitted using his mother’s debit card to withdraw $60 from her account, Savannah Police Chief Donald Derr said.

The Knights were arrested on March 11, Derr said.

They were booked into the Hardin County Jail.

The 24th Judicial District Attorney’s Office requested that the TBI assist in the investigation.

Cardinal band heads to Washington

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

The Adamsville Cardinal Junior/Senior High School Band has turned a lot of heads lately as they continue to pick up state titles on an almost annual basis.

Word of their success has spread far and wide, reaching as far as the floor of the United States Congress, where Congressman Marsha Blackburn made an official invitation to the prestigious band, asking them to march in this year’s Memorial Day Parade.

Frankie Congiardo, director of the AJHS Band, said that they have been fundraising for the trip for several months and are well on their way towards earning the estimated $40,000 needed to march in Washington.

Congiardo and his students have racked up eight state titles for the school in recent years. They have played for audiences in Gatlinburg, Tenn. and at Disney World, but Congiardo said that this is probably the largest stage his students have ever played.

“It’s a huge honor. It’s the National Memorial Day Parade,” Congiardo said. “It will be televised on PBS (and elsewhere). We were very honored that Blackburn invited us to this event.”

In order to raise enough money to take approximately 50 students to Washington, the band has been holding monthly fundraisers. The band will host their next fundraiser, a trivia night, on Feb. 13 beginning at 6 p.m. at the First Christian Church in Adamsville, located at 254 North Maple St. Tables for the event seat up to eight people and are $80, with the first place table taking home $250 in prize money.

The contest will feature 10 groups of 10 questions.

Pizza and concessions will be available for purchase at the event.

“I used to play (trivia contests) a lot, and they are so much fun,” David Stevens, assistant band director for the AJHS Band.

Stevens invited local residents to come out for this fun event to help the band.

At least two more fundraisers will be scheduled in March and April, and the Independent Appeal will announce the dates for these events as they become available.

For more information, to book a table or to make donations contact the band room at AJHS at (731) 632-0866.

The AJHS Band is currently raising funds to travel to Washington D.C. to play at the national Memorial Day Parade. A trivia fundraiser is scheduled for the band on Feb. 13 in Adamsville, with fundraisers to follow in March and April.

Man grabs money from register then walks out of Walmart

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

The Selmer Police Department is asking for your help to solve a theft which took place at the local Walmart on Jan. 19.

The theft took place when two men approached the register of Heather Johnson, a clerk at the store. The first man, described by Johnson as a black male, made a purchase of about $7 and then asked the clerk if she had any $20 bills.

According to an incident report filed by Patrolman Blake Huckabee, the man then demanded that Johnson keep her register open. The man then asked if the clerk had 30, $20 bills in her register. When Johnson responded that she may not, the man then asked if she had 20 bills of that denomination. At that point, Johnson said the man continued to tell her not to close her drawer and then told her to count the money she had in her drawer.

After complying with the man’s request to keep the drawer open and to count the money, Johnson said that he took the money and started to walk off.

At that time, the second man approached the register.

“She then stated that another man approached her and started asking about the money,” Huckabee said in his report.

Huckabee said that Johnson did not give a description of the second man.

After the second man approached the register, Johnson’s supervisor began to approach her, and the second man fled the scene.

According to the report, the first man was able to make off with $499.67. Incredibly, this amount is just $0.34 away from $500, which would have made this a felony theft in Tennessee.

If you have any information regarding this case please contact the Selmer Police Department at (731) 645-7907.

Stantonville set to be debt free

By Christen Coulon

We are pleased to welcome State of Tennessee Employees to the family!

Managing Editor

The town of Stantonville announced that they would likely be debt free by Feb. 1 at their regularly scheduled monthly meeting last Monday.

Mayor Larry Raines said that once the town pays off the remaining balance of a United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development loan totaling more than $16,000, the town would be completely out of debt.

This news came as the town announced that a previously announced grant payment had been received, and their new fire truck, which is currently being fitted with equipment in South Dakota, has also been paid off.

Raines said that bidding for construction of the town’s new fire station would begin as soon as the town received some final paperwork. Currently, the town plans to begin the bidding process in February, with construction to begin in March or April.

The town announced that it had added Tabitha Dickey as its Certified Municipal Financial Officer and that it has bonded her for $10,000.

In other news, Stantonville will host its annual tractor show on April 19. The Independent Appeal will report a complete schedule of events for this show as it becomes available in the coming weeks.

Thieves take trailers

INDEPENDENT APPEAL v PAGE 3A

Burglars hit two Selmer residences

By Jeff Whitten

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Head News Writer

Thieves have targeted trailers in Ramer on two separate occassions over the past week or so, according to incident reports provided by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department.

The first theft occurred on McMahan Road on Jan. 17.

The owner told Deputy Keenan Lamberth that between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m his trailer had been stolen out of his driveway. He described the trailer as a black 8 x 10 trailer with dual axles, white rims, a fairly new 2 x 6 wood bed. There is a jack in the trailer tongue with a two-inch receiver and a set of weed eater racks on the right side looking from the back. The trailer back had been removed so there should be hinges on the rear of the trailer. The owner estimated the value of the trailer at $2,500.

A second theft occurred on Wenasoga Road on Jan. 20 between 9 a.m. and noon. The owner told Deputy Johnny DeLoit that the trailer was a white 12 x 14 single-axle fully-enclosed 2000 model. The vehicle identification number is 47ZFB10107X052897, the Tennessee tag number is OTE4981 and the NCIC number is V566576718. The trailer was valued at $2,000. Inside the trailer was $3,600 worth of tools, including a table saw, a Senco framing nailer, a Senco finishing gun, a miter saw, a cordless drill, a corded drill, a miter saw stand, a bag of miscellaneous hand tools, clamps, miscellaneous sheet rock tools, a Plasalode nail finishing gun and extension cords.

Anyone with information on these thefts should contact the Sheriff’s Department at 645-1004.

Burglars hit two Selmer residences over the past couple of weeks, according to incident reports provided by the Selmer Police Department.

One was on Spruce Street sometime between 4 p.m. on Jan. 17 and 2 p.m. Jan. 18.

The owner told Sgt. Ron Pilkington that while she and her husband were away, someone climbed through a bedroom window on the back side of the house. Missing were a 51-inch Samsung flat screen television, valued at $650, an Epson scanner-printer,

valued at $200 and a Sony portable car television, valued at $100.

The second burglary occurred between 4 p.m. on Jan. 15 and noon on Jan. 19 on Jones Street. The owner told Pilkington that while she and her husband were away, someone forced the door open, damaging it.

Missing were a Whirlpool dryer, valued at $700 and a refrigerator, valued at $700. The woman said she believed that the robbery was in retaliation for her son naming a suspect in the robbery of her father’s lawn mower next door.

Anyone with knowledge of these crimes should call the Selmer police at 645-7907.

Thieves steal remodeling tools from Gravel Hill home

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Thieves stole tools from a house on Gravel Hill Road that was being remodeled last week, according to an incident report provided by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department.

Jeremy Newman, who works for Scott Freeland, told Deputy Amy Ballard that when he came by the house last Thursday, many of their tools were missing. A window was missing from the east side of the house, but all other entrances, including the basement door, were secure.

Freeland said that he was last at the house Jan. 21 and everything was fine.

Missing was a Sawzall, valued at $200, a pressure washer, valued at $350, a Chicago Electric sliding compound minor saw, valued at $150, a Campbell Hausfield pneumatic nail gun set with four guns in a black case, valued at $200, a Porter Cable saw, drill and impact driver set, valued at $200, a Craftsman saw stand, valued at $200, a Dewalt corded 3/8 inch drill, valued at $50, a Craftsman saw horse stand, valued at $150 and a BucketBoss with a bucket full of miscellaneous tools, valued at $200.

Anyone with knowledge of this crime should call the Sheriff’s Department at 645-1004.

Michie discusses repairs on ballpark

By Janet Rail Publisher

The mayor and board discussed the need to complete the necessary repairs at the city park related to a recent break-in and storm damage to light poles in the park.

The board discussed the damage to the concession stand with roof leaks, replacing the door and repairing a broken window.

Alderman Robert Dunn agreed to work on the repairs needed and was approved by the board.

In addition a recent storm downed a utility

pole and one is leaning in the park. An engineer from Pickwick Electric will be assessing the damage so the city can report to their insurance company and complete the necessary repairs prior to the spring ball season.

City Hall continues to have issues with a drive through window and have repeatedly repaired it.

They await quotes from the Diehold Company to secure bids for discussion of a new window or repair to the existing one. This window is used primarily for water department customers.

The city received a grant for upgrades to their water plant. Engineering firm Barge Waggoner Sumner and Cannon of Nashville shared issues with the lagoon. The engineers will attend the next meeting to share recommendations and potential grants to complete renovations to the lagoon. The city will also look into the purchase of more land to support the renovations.

There was discussion of water standing on the sidewalk entry to the City Hall. The board will look into this and determine what action is recom-

mended for a solution.

Scout Grant Bullington addressed the board to request permission on an Eagle project. If approved by the Boy Scouts, he is proposing to raise money to help create and develop four flower beds to support four welcome signs into the city. He would make a commitment for two years with fellow scouts with a possible extension. The board took no action and awaits council approval.

Millie Bulllington also presented to the board the development of an American Heritage Girls Club

McNairy County Grand Jury Notice

that will be sponsored by the Abundant Life Fellowship.

The club serves girls ages 5-18. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to the mission of building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country. It is a ministry chartered through a local charter organization like a church or other faith based non-profit organization.

Bullington stated the goals were to help girls develop social skills, hiking, to grow into leadership positions and just want-

Making McNairy County better: One family at a time

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

A bad economy means tough times for many families. Even with two parents working full time, some families find their paychecks do not cover all of their needs.

For families in need, when it seems like there is nowhere left to turn, the Family Resource Center is there to help.

The center offers advice and guidance for those in need of assistance. They also offer job skills training, and in some cases, direct assistance through their Angel Tree program which is coordinated through the center.

“We have a lot of resources available for families,” said Leigh Glenn, Director of the Family Resource Center. “I work closely with Jesus Cares and write clothing vouchers... also we do an Angel Tree Program (offered through the schools) each year at Christmas time. We served over 183 children through that program last year.”

Glenn said the center also offers a lending library. The library offers pamphlets and other reading materials geared toward helping families. Topics at the library range from how to guides for parents on children’s homework and behavior to career guides and interview assistance for those who are seeking jobs.

One of the newest programs offered through the center works to get hygiene items to school age children whose families cannot afford to buy these items.

“If a teacher or someone in an administration position has a question and really doesn’t know where else to go, I am kind of the liaison,” Glenn said. “They can call me, and I will research it for them and get back with an answer.

“Basically, if someone comes in and says, ‘I need to know what to do. I need to know who to talk to, and I need to know how to get in touch with someone,’ I will give them the basic steps to get that process started.”

The center is located at 701 Industrial Park Road at the Charlotte Boley Education Center in Selmer.

Glenn said that her program doesn’t have any funds to offer direct assistance for

things like paying a utility bill or buying groceries, but she can point those people in the right direction. She said that she will do her best to answer any question or offer a solution to any problem.

Unlike many other similar programs, the FRC offers knowledge as their main form of assistance.

Funding for the program is provided mainly through a state grant. However, like all programs in the education center, the FRC benefits from the work of the McNairy County Literacy Council through their funding of the building and its utility payments.

Glenn said that the literacy council was a wonderful program and said that she has no doubt that the council would help out with anything if there was a need.

The FRC shares the education center with Adult Education, the Pilot Pre-K, and the McNairy County Individualized Graduation Program.

On the surface, these groups would all seem to have a vastly different focus. However, all of the programs share a common goal of having an educated and literate adult population in the county.

These programs also all benefit from the participation of the McNairy County Literacy Council, which directs its efforts toward meeting the needs of the programs within the education center.

If you are interested in helping support the McNairy County Literacy Council or any of the programs offered at the Charlotte Boley Education Center, the Independent Appeal and the Literacy Council need your help at 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.

Plunk Dry Cleaners 161 S. Front Street, Selmer, Tenn.

ANNOUNCEMENT Ronnie and Linda Plunk of Plunk Dry Cleaners are making plans to retire.

It has been a long journey and for the most part an enjoyable one. We have had the pleasure of serving you, our customers and friends, through many changes in your lives: the birth of your children, graduation, weddings, etc. and, of course, sad times which we all have.

We will be trying to sell. If this should not happen, we will be closing at the end of March 2014. We plan to operate up to March 15th and leave two weeks for you to pick up your orders.

After being in business for 28 years, we had hoped to go out in a blaze of Glory, but the economic turbulence of the past several years has made it difficult for us. It would be exciting to know that someone else will be continuing to operate the cleaners.

Hopefully, all this will work out for the best for you as well as us.

May God Bless each of you is our prayer.

McNAIRY VOICES Who is going to win the Super Bowl?

The Tennessean Submitted Article

This week is Public Notice Week across Tennessee, and lest you think that is just a celebration for people who work in the newspaper business, let’s remember who the public is in “public notice.”

The proven, most effective way to communicate important matters to the community has always been through news media, because in this country we enjoy a free press, thanks to our Founding Fathers. They understood that if the flow of information is controlled by the government, citizens could only be assured of hearing what the government in charge at that moment wanted them to hear.

That tension continues to this day on multiple levels. Over the past few years, certain members of the Tennessee General Assembly sought to end the legal requirement for publication of public notices in newspapers around the state. The reason given: that the cost to government of taking out advertisements for the purpose of notifying the public — of hearings, foreclosure proceedings, permits, easements and the like — was onerous.

There were two problems with this argument: one, that supporters of this initiative have never shown the cost of legal notices to be more than a tiny fraction of a government agency’s budget. The other problem is that removing the notice requirement from government or quasi-governmental entities would in fact damage their credibility in the eyes of the public.

No, whenever someone tries to filter information that the general public has a right to know, you expect that someone personally is benefiting from keeping things under wraps.

To their credit, legislative leaders last year worked with Tennessee newspapers on a new law that preserves the public notice requirement while adding other ways for the public to see the notices.

Beginning April 1, Tennessee newspapers that print public notices also will post the notices on their website and upload them to a statewide aggregate website, www.tnpublicnotice.com, at no additional charge.

Notices will be made easier to find online with links on the website home pages.

The more the public knows, the stronger our democracy and our individual liberties.

Monogram expansion loan approved

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

A loan that will help finance the Monogram expansion has been approved, according to McNairy Regional Alliance Executive Director Ted Moore. Pickwick Electric Cooperative had been awarded a $1 million passthrough loan, from the U. S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Agency, to the Selmer/McNairy County Industrial Board.

This deal is structured as it is because this type of zero-interest loan under the Rural Development Loan and Grant program, can only be applied for by an electric cooperative, which can then pass it through to a local business for projects that will create or retain employment in rural areas. This is only the second time in memory this procedure has been used, Moore said. The first time was when the University of Tennessee-Martin McNairy County/Selmer Center was built.

Attorneys are currently reviewing the transaction documents. After they have concluded their review, PEC will close with the IDB and then IDB will close with Monogram.

The new 120,000 square-foot warehouse will replace the Selmer plant’s existing 40,000 square-foot space.

The new warehouse will be located in the old Midwest Woodworking building on the Highway 45 Bypass near the University of Tennessee Martin/Selmer Center.

Monogram introduced a new product line last year.

The new refrigerator is the first new GE Monogram product line since 2001. The new French door built-in model is the first entry of GE into the fastest-growing market. This product is already in production and is in addition to the other models manufactured at the Selmer plant. Monogram is investing $20 million in the plant in order to produce the new product.

The investment includes a retooling of the production line in order to make the new refrigerator as well as new metal stamping and welding equipment that will increase capacity to insource parts. The investment and insourcing has created 10 new jobs this year.

The new initiatives will allow the Monogram plant to maintain and incrementally expand employment in the future, General Manager Ray Deming said.

BIRTHDAY

Old Home Motel

By Toni Watson

tention to. The “House of Good Food” could be reached at the phone number Melrose 2-46XX – now I didn’t include those last two numbers because that number has been reassigned through the years. But I did find it fascinating how the phone company used to include a name where nowadays we just give out our phone numbers with 632 – XXXX. David Dickey gave me a quick lesson on how the FCC assigns numbers when new telephone exchanges are opened and the one here in Adamsville was originally assigned “Melrose”. Well, that’s a story for another day.

Anyway, the restaurant and the hotel had a booming business for many a year. The Baptists always got to beat the Methodists to those home cooked rolls after church since they got out of service thirty minutes early, but Juanita made sure there were enough rolls and homemade salad dressings to make it through the whole rush hour when the Methodists filed across the street and the other churches let out. When Juanita and her husband had first come to Adamsville, about the only eatery was a small fast food place that had picnic tables to eat on in the

Ms. Etta Kennedy celebrates her 90th birthday On February 2, 1924 in Bethel Springs, Tennessee, a beautiful baby girl was born to Carlos and Lena Hoover Hendrix. Her name is Etta Fay Hendrix Kennedy and she will be celebrating her 90th birthday on Sunday, February 2, 2014.

Ms. Etta grew up in McNairy County and on August 3, 1946, married the love of her life, Bob Kennedy. They were married for 62 years and were blessed with 4 children, Nelda Kennedy McCune, David Kennedy, Mark Kennedy and Ralph Kennedy.

To celebrate this special day and honor their mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, her family will host a birthday reception on Sunday, February 2, at Lakeview Baptist Church in Selmer from 2:00 – 4:00 PM in the fellowship hall. All friends and family are invited to attend. Only outof-town invitations are being sent. No gifts please, your presence will be her gift.

Yup. It may well be the biggest sign on Main Street in Adamsville.

Others might want to erect one just as big, but it just can’t be done nowadays. “Old Home Motel with a swimming pool” is grandfathered into the sign ordinance for our city and is probably not nearly as eye-catching as it used to be without its neon arrow blinking and pointing to the registration office. But its owner’s eyes are just as bright and her mind just as sharp as it was when that arrow was lit up.

Juanita Richardson will say she has a few senior moments, but the vast store of memories she can still recall is pretty impressive. She remembers a trip to McNairy County to see some of her husband’s relatives and she remembers a sort of off-the-cuff remark about how that big ole home on Main Street would make a great restaurant. And then she remembers the process of relocating from Ripley, Tennessee where they ran a restaurant in the heart of the city called City Café to start up their new business in Adamsville—right there in that big ole home she had drawn her husband’s at-

parking lot just outside the window where you walked up to place your order. Of course, there was Shaw’s Restaurant down by Shiloh, but there was enough business for everyone, particularly when even people from Jackson came down for a meal.

Running a successful business that focused on food service and overnight guests can be quite demanding. But perhaps the biggest demand came when they watched their restaurant burn to the ground one night. The lot that stretches between the motel’s office and the red brick house to the west was where that restaurant had proudly stood. After it was gone, they had to make the decision to rebuild or downsize to use the little red brick home as the restaurant. So downsizing is where they went and life had a few more hours to relax in it.

Juanita receives many a card and many a call and several visits, as well, from those families who had made an overnight stay at the motel part of their routine family vacations. Perhaps the most renowned person to stay at the motel for more than a night, however, was Buford Pusser.

Seems there had been a fire at his house – the one that now is the museum – but the fire had only partially damaged the structure. While the rest of the family was able to stay put with the renovation work taking place,

Buford moved into room 110 until construction was complete. Many a curious tourist has struck up a conversation with Juanita to learn more of our hometown hero’s everyday life at the motel.

Turns out Juanita has been quite a tourist herself. She has visited over twenty-six foreign countries and has kept a list if you want to ask her about all those times she was abroad. Seems as if Italy was the country that won her heart the most. However, Adamsville now owns her heart with her daughter’s family nearby and her recent claim to fame as a great-grandmother. The house on the Abernathy property to the east of her motel has long since been moved and the Pig is a hometown landmark by now. The street has been widened to four lanes and that took a chunk out of the front yard, but the Old Home Motel and its swimming pool is still holding place and helping more than one family stay in out of the cold weather. When the Richardsons first put their restaurant business in, the home folks thought they had located way too far from the hustle and bustle of Main Street and wondered who they thought would walk that far for a meal. Little could the town have predicted that someday Main Street would stretch down to the county line.

And there’s just no telling where we’ll be stretching next!

Thought for the week :.

Our refuge when times are dark and dreary and no one seems to care our Savior is our refuge. If we go to Him in prayer He's always here to help us and make our burdens light. It’s like a ray of sunshine, even in the darkest night, Ps 9:9 ... “the Lord will be a refuge in times of trouble.”

So until next time be good to yourself and others.

TAEP Continuing Education qualifications updated new qualifications for

50 percent cost share effective 2015

By Heather Orne Tenn. Dept. of Agriculture

In an effort to enhance the state’s agricultural industry and to increase farmers’ capacity to produce, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture is encouraging producers to take advantage of new continuing education opportunities now offered by the University of Tennessee Extension.

“Agricultural leaders recently unveiled a strategic plan to grow and develop our industry over the next decade,” Agriculture Commission Julius Johnson said. “Education and research were recognized as key components for helping us achieve our goals, and these continuing education opportunities will be important for producers to maximize

efficiency in their operations and to increase farm profitability.”

Beginning in 2015, producers who wish to qualify for 50 percent cost share funding through the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program may need to participate in UT advanced continuing education opportunities by certain TAEP reimbursement deadlines.

This gives producers nearly two years to complete the new continuing education opportunities.

For the 2014 application period, any Master producer certificates received prior to 2015 will still qualify for 50 percent cost share.

A schedule detailing current certification expiration dates and renewal deadlines, by program, is available at www.tn.gov/

Secretary Vilsack expands StrikeForce Initative to address rural poverty in four additional states USDA Submitted Article

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack joined Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear and Congressman Hal Rogers today to announce the expansion of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's StrikeForce Initiative into four additional states: Kentucky, Louisiana, Tennessee and West Virginia.

"The StrikeForce strategy of partnering public resources with local expertise is helping to grow rural economies and create jobs in persistent poverty communities," said Vilsack. "This is a strategy that is working in rural America and I am pleased that we continue to build on these efforts to bring assistance to areas that need it the most."

Vilsack also noted that the StrikeForce strategy is having concrete results in communities across the country.

Since 2010, through StrikeForce, USDA has partnered with over 400 community organizations, businesses, foundations, universities and other groups to support 80,300 projects and ushered more than $9.7 billion in investments into rural America, including:

The Farm Service Agency saw a 14 percent increase in the total direct farm loan applications received in StrikeForce areas since the beginning of the initiative.

In fiscal year (FY) 2013, the Farm Service Agency provided nearly $9.3 million to fund microloans in StrikeForce areas. Approximately 84 percent of the loans were provided to socially disadvantaged and beginning farmers.

Last year, the number of landowners applying for Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) programs in StrikeForce areas increased by 82 percent over the previous year.

In FY 2013, the Rural Housing Community Facilities Program obligated a total of $68 million to fund hospitals, libraries and other projects in StrikeForce areas—a 4.5 percent increase over 2012.

Between 2012 and 2013, the Food and Nutrition Service doubled the redemption of SNAP benefits at farmers markets from $2 million to over $4 million in StrikeForce states—a more than 100 percent increase.

In 2012, USDA's Food and Nutrition Service increased the number of children in StrikeForce states receiving free or reduced price school breakfasts by 7.4 percent.

"Through StrikeForce, we are able to reach people in new ways and bring resources to them directly," said Vilsack. "We are learning better ways to help communities leverage their assets and bring opportunity to their residents."

Today's expansion brings StrikeForce attention to more than 700 rural counties, parishes, boroughs, tribal reservations, and Colonias in 20 states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.

USDA identifies census tracts with over 20 percent poverty (according to American Community Survey data) to identify sub-county pockets of poverty. As areas of persistent poverty are identified, USDA staff work with state, local and community officials to increase awareness of USDA programs and help build program participation through intensive community outreach.

StrikeForce is part of the Administration's commitment to addressing persistent poverty across America. Last week, President Obama announced the first five of twenty Promise Zones, including one in southeastern Kentucky, that target federal resources to cities, rural areas and Tribal communities suffering the worst poverty.

Class offerings for 2014 were recently announced

by UT Extension and are posted at utextension. tennessee.edu.

All current Tennessee Quality Milk certificates will expire May 1, 2015, so all dairy producers wishing to qualify for TAEP funds in 2015 will need to become certified as a Master Dairy Producer before Dec. 1, 2015.

Once all current certificates expire, producers will need to participate in continuing education programs every three years with the exception of dairy, which is an annual certification based on fewer class hours each year. Applications for 2014 TAEP cost share programs are expected to be

available in April.

TAEP was established in 2005 by the Tennessee General Assembly and has been fully funded by Gov. Bill Haslam through a portion of the state’s cigarette sales tax. The program is administered

by TDA to assist qualifying producers with cost share funds of up to 50 percent on farm improvement projects to increase efficiency and farm income. A UT study shows that for every TAEP dollar invested nearly $4 is generated in additional economic activity in local communities.

As the game got underway, the Lady Lions and the Lady Cardinals got on the court, and both teams gave the effort that this rivalry deserves.

Both side were playing good basketball, and at the end of the first quarter they found themselves tied with seven points each.

Once the second quarter got started, the Lady Lions took the game over.

Selmer was able to put 12 points on the board against the Cardinals, while their defense clamped down and only allowed the Cards to score two points in the quarter.

Coming out after halftime down 10 points, the Cardinals had a lot of ground to make up to catch the Lady Lions.

Although they did get the offense moving better than in the second quarter, the Cardinals were not able to cut into the Lady Lion lead, and they went into the fourth quarter still down 10.

Both teams battled in the fourth quarter, the Lady Lions trying to hang on to their lead and the Lady Cardinals trying to retake the lead.

Fortunately for the Lady Lions, they were able to hang on, scoring nine points in the fourth quarter while holding the Lady Cardinals to eight.

In the first quarter of the game, Southside's offense gained a huge lead of 11 points over McNairy Central. They maintained their lead throughout the game.

The first quarter ended 20-9.

The offense scored 14 points in the second quarter, but Southside scored 30 and the second quarter ended with a score of 50-23.

After the second half, McNairy's defense played tough and held off Southside as much as possible.

By doing this, their offense was able to score 18 points to try and level the playing field and end the quarter 69-41.

In the final quarter, however, Southside beat McNairy 86-48.

“Southside is ranked #3 in the state so we were intimidated from the start,” said head coach Steve Forsythe, “We have to play smarter and not turn the ball over so much.”

Adamsville plays host to the Hardin County Tigers

By Brian Azevedo

the Lady Cardinals were only able to score 15 points in the entire second half.

Adamsville fought, but they fell to the Lady Tigers.

Sports Editor

It was a Saturday night showdown when the Hardin County Tigers made the trip to Adamsville to take on the Cardinals. Both games were hard fought, but the Tigers left Adamsville with the sweep.

Hardin County Adamsville

The Lady Cardinals had a tough time when they took on the Lady Tigers from Hardin County, but they played with intensity and fought the entire way.

During the first quarter, the Lady Cardinals were playing well on the offensive side and were trying to find their rhythm.

Adamsville was able to put 10 points on the board, but they allowed the strong Lady Tiger offense to put up 16 and come out of the first quarter with the lead.

Once the second quarter was underway, the Lady Cardinals clamped down on defense and only allowed the Lady Tigers to score seven points.

However, the Lady Cards lost some of their own offensive rhythm, and were only able to score seven of their own going into halftime, still down six points.

Once the game moved into the second half, it became all Lady Tigers.

The Adamsville offense was essentially shut down and

With the help of Tucker Campbell, the Cardinals were able to increase their offense in the second quarter, and they were able to put up their highest point total, 20.

Adamsville started the second half with a lead, but the Lions were determined to change that.

The Cardinals were able to keep their offense on par, but the defense allowed TCA to get points on the board and close in the Cardinal lead.

Once the fourth quarter got underway, the Cardinals were trying to protect a one point lead, but it was TCA who had the momentum.

As the fourth quarter went on, the Cardinals did their best to stop the TCA attack. Adamsville succeeded in slowing the Lions down.

With less than a minute left in the fourth quarter, the Cardinals were fighting to maintain a two point lead. Adamsville was able to keep the pressure. Making clutch shots and playing strong defense, they held the Lions off and hung on for the big three point district win.

Riding off the girls’ momentum, the Tigers came on the court and continued to play good basketball.

The Cardinals, however, were not going to roll over and let the Tigers have the game.

After being down 14-8 after the first quarter, Adamsville battled back in the second and cut into the Tiger lead.

Although the Cardinals were still down three going into halftime, they still had a lot of fight left.

Once the third quarter got underway, the Tigers came out and focused on extending their lead.

Although the play was intense on both sides, it was the Tigers were was able to put up 18 points, outscoring the Cardinals by six.

Star Rhinehart Cassie Waddell, Sarah Cook, and Star Rinehart are all seniors at MCHS who agree that the most common resolution is to lose weight.

However, they disagree on the idea of resolutions. Rinehart believes in them and says, “I always make a resolution.”

Waddell says, “I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. I don’t think people take it seriously.” Cook’s resolution is “to pass all my classes and to graduate.”

York on the television. This There is nothing else like me.

What am I? I’m a snowflake.

As I float gently down to the ground, I’m whipped around by the wind. I look down and see a beautiful, white field. It’s covered by all my friends, all unique like me.

Snowflakes catch the sun’s rays and throw them back up, blinding all the people who walk outside. The grass is sticking up, crystalized in ice, like sharp glass needles all over the ground. The wind blows and I’m whirled away.

I’m still falling, but now I’m Sarah Cook over a forest. The ground is covered by my friends. The tradition is one that is shared pine trees’ green needles are with many people, including covered in white snow and Cook. Another tradition that ice crystals. They bow down many people participate in is under the weight. Some spending time with friends. even break off and fall to the One such person is Rinehart.

ground. The snow here is undisturbed. “This would be a peaceful place to rest,” I say to myself. “I could settle down on that branch there.” The wind whips and I’m blown upward right as I reach the tree tops.

I’m turned upside down and backwards as it carries me away again. Once it stops, I begin to fall to the ground again. This time I’m looking down on a house.ts roof and yard are white, but this snow is marked here and there with footprints I follow them until I see a little girl and boy having a snow ball fight.The girl stops and falls to the ground yelling, “Snow angels!” She laughs as she moves her arms and legs.

When she gets up she steps carefully out of the outline and draws a halo. I smile, “Now this is a good place to

land,” I say.

As I approach the ground I give a cry of triumph. Finally, I will be with my friends again!

They smile and laugh as I finally join them. About that time the little boy says, “Let’s build a snow man!” I hear the girl agree and then I’m being rolled into a snow man.

Once they are finished, they step back and admire their work. I hear their parents call them in for some hot chocolate and they run away. I look over the ground and see other friends joining my friends on the ground. The kids’ footprints are eventually covered and the ground is an unblemished winter wonderland. The sun winks down at us, waiting for the opportunity to melt us away, but we persist. We cover the ground for many days, and I see the kids run out yelling, “Snow day!” the next morning. I smile to myself and enjoy the beauty that and my unique friends bring to the earth.
