Deputy Lamberth saves family of 5 from fire

to the McNairy Co. Visitors and Cultural Center, 205 W. Court Ave. & pick up a map for a day of Family FUN !

At about 2 a.m. on April 3, most of us were sleeping.

Luckily for Mikki and Chris Cox and their three children, Deputy Keenan Lamberth of the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department was not.

That morning Lamberth was out doing his patrols for the department when he noticed something wasn’t right.

During his patrol, Lamberth noticed a fire coming from the front of the Cox home on Falcon Road in Selmer and was able to get out of his car and wake the residents of the home by banging on the back doors.

“I was out patrolling the Falcon area when I noticed from a distance what appeared to be a fire,” Lamberth said. “As I got closer, I could actually see that the house was on fire. I started banging on the doors... then I ran around back and started beating on the door and Mr. Cox opened the door.”

Once Lamberth woke Chris Cox, they alerted the remaining family members and then the two grabbed a garden hose and began to put out the quickly spreading flames until firefighters arrived on the scene.

“It was right at 2 a.m. and he was fiercely banging on the door,” Mikki Cox said. He was going around the house banging on the

windows then went around back to make sure we were awake.”

She said that her husband then met Lamberth at the back door and learned that their home was on fire.

Chris Cox said that his family has smoke detectors in most rooms of the home, but the fire which began on the family’s front porch did not trip the alarms until after Lamberth came to the door.

“We were stepping outside when they started going off,” Cox said.

Chris Cox said that he could see the fire from inside his home after he woke up and said that by the time he and Lamberth had gotten to the front of the home to put it out it was unbelievable how much it had grown.

He said that the fire was particularly dangerous because of high winds which were fueling it.

Even when smoke began to get to Lamberth who was fighting the fire, he kept at it. Chris Cox said he could see the officer coughing from the smoke but they were able to keep the water on the fire until the fire department showed up.

“By then it was just smoldering and they took (Lamberth) and gave him some oxygen,” Chris Cox said. “God definitely had a hand in this one. I told him that he very well saved our lives.”

In addition Chris Cox credits Lamberth’s

Healthy Me Day in the Park a Huge Success

Staff Photos by Christen Coulon

Last Friday, the McNairy County Health Department Staff sponsored “Healthy Me” Day in the Park in partnership with several healthcare and health service organizations. The event, which was open to children, parents and the whole family, was free to the public and ran throughout the day at the Selmer City Park.

Healthy Me Day focused on health education and family fun. During the event, students from Selmer Pre-K, Selmer Elementary and Selmer Middle School visited the event and participated in all of the fun activities, as well as all of the educational booths. All participants were treated to healthy snacks from McDonalds in the form of apple slices and bottled water. Healthy Me Day was held in observance of National Public Health Week, which ran April 7-12. Lisa Park, Public Health County Director for McNairy, Hardeman and Fayette counties said that she was pleased with the day’s events and said that she would like to see more events which focused on healthy lifestyles for the family and health education for our children.

Selmer police recover stolen Kentucky car

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

On April 5, the Selmer Police Department recovered a car stolen in Kentucky.

Richard Glen McKinney, of 557 Peach St. in Selmer was charged with theft of property over $10,000, third offense of driving while under the influence and first offense of driving on a revoked license.

It all began when McKinney’s exwife, Racina Reynolds lodged a complaint about him driving past her house, according Sgt. R. C. “Bob” Pipkins’ incident report.

Reynolds told Ptl. Robert Heathcock that her ex, who had just got out of prison in Ky. was driving by her house in a red Ford pickup with Kentucky tags.

A registration check showed that the maroon 2004 truck, which belonged to Heather Beckham of Bowling Green, Ky., was listed as stolen by the National Crime Information Center.

Pipkins, Heathcock and Inv. Lynn Ingle began looking for the truck. It pulled out of a driveway in front of Pipkins on Circle Hill Drive. Pipkins radioed the other two officers to come to the area and followed the truck with the

blue lights off.

The truck ran off the road twice and crossed into the other lane. It entered a curve, ran off the road again, ran into the ditch, struck a culvert, crossed a driveway, hit a light pole, struck another ditch and culvert, ran across another driveway, ran into another ditch and hit three mailboxes.

After the car came to a stop, Pipkins got out of his patrol car, drew his gun and ordered McKinney out of his car. He got out of his car, was ordered to lay on the ground and did. Pipkins then handcuffed McKinney.

Pipkins smelled a strong odor of alcohol on McKinney’s breath and observed that McKinney was very unsteady on his feet and his eyes were bloodshot.

McKinney was transported to the hospital, where he submitted to a blood alcohol test, but refused medical treatment.

McKinney was then transported to the McNairy County Jail, where as of last Friday, he was still in custody.

McKinney was convicted of a DUI in McNairy County in 2004 and in Chester County in 2010. His license was then revoked.

NEWS UPDATE Horse quarantine to be lifted (Staff Reports) – The is a resolution to the story about the local horse quarantine we reported on March 26.

The State Veterinarian Dr. Charles Hatcher said that his office has been in contact with the affected horse owners and he said the owner has decided to transport the infected animals to the Gluck Equine Research Center at the University of Kentucky for study.

Hatcher said that the horses were set to be transported last Tuesday and said that once the infected horses have been transported the quarantine would be lifted.

Following epidemiological studies conducted by the state, Hatcher said that he was confident that no other horses have been infected and he said that the outbreak of Equine Infectious Anemia

An arrest by the Adamsville Police Department April 2 netted over a thousand pills.

Kaylon Owens Luttrell was charged with driving while under the influence, first offense, possession of Schedule II, Schedule III and Schedule IV drugs.

Hardin County 911 called the Adamsville police and advised that a car being driven recklessly was heading toward the city from the east, according to an incident report by arresting officer Rick Chandler.

Officer Rob Youngson saw the 2009 Maroon Cadillac CT near Maximum Gym on Highway 64 and followed the vehicle. The car was weaving badly and crossing lanes without warning. He turned on his siren at the Sawmeal restaurant but the car did not stop.

Luttrell pulled into the BP. She appeared disoriented and her speech was slow and slurred. She was asked if she had drank any alcohol and she said no.

Luttrell agreed to a field sobriety test. When she got out of the car, she was barefoot and walking unsteadily, leaning on the car. When asked if she needed her shoes, she said no. She performed poorly on an HGN test, which tracks eye movement. She was then asked to perform the nine

“This is why we test,” Hatcher said. “When (horse owners) go to exhibition or have a change of ownership they need to get a Coggins Test for their animals.

The quarantine began after two horse owners in McNairy County discovered the outbreak of the deadly equine disease. Six cases of Equine Infectious Anemia were discovered through testing conducted at the Kord Animal Health Diagnostic Lab, said Tom Womack, director of public affairs for the Tennessee Department of Agriculture.

The disease, also known as EIA is a viral horse disease transmitted primarily by biting flies such as the horse fly and deer fly.

Tennessee animal health regulations require annual testing of all horses that change ownership or are commingled with horses of multiple ownership.

Tennessee’s State Veterinarian Dr. Charles Hatcher, said that the disease is not communicable to humans or other animals. He said it is not spread through nose to nose contact like other equine diseases which helps to control the spread of the disease.

CORRECTION

In last week’s article covering the Bethel Springs Board Meeting, we incorrectly stated that the McNairy County Highway Department bid $4,650 for brush cleanup in the town, however it should have stated that this bid came from Harvey Neal Smith. At the meeting the board discussed but took no action on brush re­moval. Harvey Neal Smith bid $4,650 and Adam Plunk bid $4,500. The differ­ence in the two bids is that Neal would dispose of the debris but Plunk would not. Some members of the board expressed the sentiment that another bidder and possibly a lower bid be found.

step test but said she could not balance due to back injury.

Luttrell was then given the Rhomberg test of time estimate. She was asked to advise the officer when 30 seconds had elapsed. She was 17 seconds early. She was then asked to recite the alphabet, which she did perfectly.

The suspect was then placed under arrest for DUI and agreed to take a blood alcohol test. She said she had taken some hyrocodone earlier in the day. She was then read the implied consent form.

Luttrell said she had a pistol in the trunk. The trunk was opened and a white paper bag full of pill bottles was found. She said that this was her medicine.

Found were 562 carisprodol, 129 diazapam, 184 hydrocodone, five idudone, 166 alprazolam and 24 acetaminaphen/hydrocodone.

The only reason Luttrell could give for having this many pills was that she was going to Corinth, Miss. to stay with a friend who has cancer.

Over $1,500 in cash was found in Luttrell’s wallet. She was told that due to the discrepancy in the packaging and the amount of schedule narcotics, her vehicle, pistol and cash were going to be seized through the seizure court.

Luttrell was taken to the emergency room at McNairy Regional Hospital for the blood test then sent to the McNairy County Justice Complex. She was released on $10,000 bond.

DEPUTY HERO

Lamberth decided to walk and research a stretch of the field that other emergency workers had already covered when he found the passenger.

Sheriff Guy Buck said that Lamberth has always been a good officer and that the entire department was proud of him.

“I am extremely proud of Deputy Lamberth, he has always distinguished himself as a good deputy,” McNairy County Sheriff Guy Buck said. “I am glad that he was in the position that night to help the family, and I am proud of the actions that he took. It ended with a good result with everyone making it out of the house and most of property being saved.”

Buck also commended Deputy Buddy Fuller for his help with the fire. He said that Fuller arrived on scene

Lamberth said for his part that he was just trying to keep the fire from spreading further until the fire department showed up.

The deputy was modest when speaking with the Independent Appeal and said that he was just in the right place at the right time.

“I just think God must have lead me down that road and took me to where their house was,” Lamberth said.

This was not the first time Lamberth’s quick thinking is credited with helping to save a life. Last year, following a traffic accident on Highway 224, Lamberth and several emergency workers were searching a field to find a

Schoof, Strata Solar Vice-President of Sales and Marketing, told the Independent Appeal in January.

“We’re finishing development work on that now. We’re finalizing every thing with TVA. We’ve begun some of the interconnection work,” Schoof said.

Schoof said the intention is to start work on the first farm and then begin work on the second one before work on the first one is completed. The total number of construction jobs is still to be determined but it will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 300-400.

“These are substantial projects in scope and size and require a reasonably-sized work staff,” Schoof said.

The North Carolina-based company has been doing this work for several years and has geographic clusters.

“We develop projects next to each other. We tend to have a crew that moves from one project to the next,” Schoof explained.

Since these projects are larger, the intention is to have the same size staff that will do one farm and then the next.

“We’re hoping that if things line up, that we will have some additional projects to complete to use that same staff to build,” Schoof said.

Schoof said he expects construction to be complete by around the end of the year.

“We feel so very blessed that God sent Keenan past our home that Friday morning at 2 a.m.,” Mikki Cox said. “We thank him from the bottom of our hearts for noticing, stopping, and making sure we were awake and out of the house. He didn’t just beat at our door, he vigorously beat with all he had then ran to the next door to do the same. May God bless Keenan and his family.”

Lamberth is a six year veteran of the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department and son of local Tennessee State Trooper Kenny Lamberth.

The Cox’s said that their home sustained significant damage, but it was not destroyed. The family was insured and said that most of their valuables will be salvageable after cleaning.

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The Selmer Board of Aldermen voted 3-2 to allow beer sales on Sunday afternoon and night at its April 8 meeting.

Vice-Mayor John Finlayson, Alderman Chris Tull and Alderman Johnny Norris voted yes and Alderman Paul Simpson and Alderman Edward Smith voted no.

Mayor John Smith, though not allowed by the town’s charter to vote, announced he opposed the change.

This ordinance was passed on first reading. An ordinance must be passed on two readings and signed by the mayor to become law. The mayor can veto an ordinance and the board can then override it by a simple majority vote.

“I do not support it. I am against it,” Mayor Smith said.

“I’m not asking anybody that doesn’t want to buy beer on Sunday, to buy beer on Sunday. What I’m seeing is people going to Bethel Springs, Adamsville, places other than Selmer to buy their beer on Sunday and I just think those tax dollars ought to stay in Selmer,” said Norris, who asked that the issue be put on the agenda.

The ordinance will not cause anyone to buy beer who is not already buying beer, Norris argued.

Jeff Sisk said that stores would lose business if they sold beer on Sunday.

“You would probably not have enough tax dollars brought in on Sunday beer sales to send two men down here to Main Street to fix a pothole...If a man ain’t got enough sense to buy it on Saturday that he’s got to drive all the way over to Adamsville or Bethel--It’s like a can of pork and beans.

If I ain’t got it at the house on Sunday, I’m going to wait until Monday to get it when I’m fixing dinner. If you’ve got to drive all of the way to Adamsville—you’ve got a problem. People getting out of church at 12 o’clock don’t want to see 12 o’clock beer sales on Sunday and be around those people that’s got problems. I’m not against drinking if that’s what a man wants to do,” Sisk said.

“I’m strongly opposed to it...I can’t see in point in it whatsoever. I think it’s a slap in the face of churchgoing people...

We have not had beer sales in Selmer on

each other. About a mile from the farms will be a Pickwick Electric Cooperative substation and a Tennessee Valley Authority substation. The first one is on Highway 5.

Construction on the second farm will begin about two months after construction begins on the first one, around June or July, Schoof said.

“We need to be flexible because of the progress we’re making on the first one,” Schoof said.

The second farm will be completed around the same time as the first one.

“We’re looking to treat this as one project by one crew, but it’s two disparate parcels,” Schoof said.

Schoof said that workers have not yet been hired. He said they would be sending out staff, senior tradespeople and crew leaders to work with the town, the community college and economic development personnel to hold a number of job fairs.

“We’re terribly excited about these projects. We’re excited to be working with TVA and we’ve had nothing but incredibly positive relationships with the Town of Selmer, and with McNairy County. If it were up to us, we would have been there six months ago, but everything takes longer than you want to,” Schoof said at the conclusion of the interview.

Scheduling for the interviews can be set up by calling the MRA office and appointments are still available for Wednesday and Thursday. Interviews will be conducted in groups of about 15 employees at a time.

Sunday. I don’t see any need whatsoever to do it now...If a person wants to drink beer, that’s their business...I’m not going to condemn them for it,” said Alderman Smith.

Smith said as far as he knew, no business in town has asked for Sunday beer sales.

“I think it’s wrong and if we do it, people are going to remember it when they go to the polls,” Smith said.

Sisk said that both those for and against the ordinance will remember it when they vote.

“If they don’t, I’ll remind them,” Sisk said.

Sisk said he could remember when there was a beer joint on every corner in Selmer.

“When you start monkeying around with these beer laws, where does it stop?

I don’t want to see a beer joint in Selmer again,” Sisk said.

“You’re going to start bringing in more people who do support that and all of a sudden you going to have people who are going to want to vote in liquor stores and beer joints,” said Bro. Murray Kimball of Faith Baptist Church.

“I don’t think beer joints are going to spring forth from this at all. I don’t think that would ever fly,” Norris replied.

The majority of voters in Selmer don’t want beer sales on Sunday, Simpson said.

Norris said the people he talked to in town want Sunday beer sales.

Real estate owner and First Baptist Church deacon Kenneth Sweat said that a responsible person will buy his beer on Friday or Saturday.

Beer placed in the hands of the irresponsible people causes them to do things they would not ordinarily, Sweat said.

“There is no excuse for making it easier and easier for those types of uncontrollable drinkers to have easier access to it seven days a week. Let them sober up on Sunday,” Sweat said.

Selmer reaches compromise on support Arts in McNairy

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The Selmer Board of Aldermen unanimously approved $2,500 in support for Arts in McNairy at its April 8 meeting.

AiM had originally asked for $5,000 but the amount was halved as a result of the debate on the board.

Some members of the board, such as Paul Simpson and Edward Smith, and some members of the audience were skeptical about whether the city should be funding an activity in a county-owned building while the county was not contributing any support.

AiM is housed in the county-owned Latta Building.

Other members of the board, such as Chris Tull, Johnny Norris and ViceMayor John Finlayson, felt AiM merited the city’s support because events they sponsored, such as the Rockabilly Festival and Fall Hog Food Festival, bring people into Selmer and put money in its coffers.

There was a disagreement as to whether the money was to help with AiMs utility bill or was just general support for the organization.

“They’re asking us to pay the light bill in a county-owned building. Do we need to use city money to pay county light bills?”

Smith asked rhetorically.

Mayor John Smith said finding the money was doable but he wasn’t sure where the board wanted him to get the money from.

In response to a question from Jeff Sisk, the Mayor said that the city would be paying 100 percent of the organization’s light bill, while the county paid nothing.

“That don’t hardly sound logical,” Sisk said.

“I don’t quite understand it either. It’s the only county building that they own that they don’t pay the light bill for,” said Mayor Smith.

Smith said that the McNairy Regional Alliance and AiM each paid a portion of the building’s electric bill.

“We’ve had a hard winter. They exceeded their line items,” Smith said.

“I’m sure the winter wasn’t any different in the city, was it. Our light bills went up, too,” Sisk said.

Tull said from talking to Sean Pitts and other members of the board, he interpreted the request as for general support rather than specifically for the utility bill.

“They really do a lot for this community,” Tull said about AiM. AiM has invested $18,000 in two murals in the city, along with $5,000 from Selmer, Tull said. AiM has a direct impact of $2,000 to the city’s economy and an indirect one of $400,000.

AiM provides opportunities for young people who are interested in the arts and the theatre.

“We’re shooting ourselves in the foot if we don’t keep AiM healthy and support Arts in McNairy,” Tull said.

AiM was recognized by the Library of Congress for rural culture preservation and was instrumental in getting the grant for the Latta Building, Tull said.

Alderman Edward Smith said he did not disagree on the value of AiM and its programs.

“What would be the difference if the city paid the light bill for the Courthouse. It’ a county building, too, sitting here in the middle of Selmer,” Smith said.

“I agree that we shouldn’t keep doing this indefinitely...I think that if we don’t support this we are losing as a community not having this in our commu-

nity,” Tull said.

Finlayson said that people come into town for the festivals that AiM sponsors.

“This is the only thing we’ve got right now to bring people into this community for things...and we need to support them. Honestly, I don’t want them in a time of need to come to us and ask us for money, but looking at the benefits they bring to the community throughout the year I’m not going to not help them,” Finlayson said.

Without AiM, Selmer would not have the Broomcorn Festival, the Rockabilly Festival and the Fall Hog Food Festival.

Simpson said he was a supporter of AiM, the MRA and anything that brings jobs or tourists to the county, but that is not the question before the board. The question is whether the city should pay the utility bill for a county-owned building.

Mayor Smith suggested that the board vote $1,500 in support for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends in June. This would give him time to find money in next year’s budget for AiM. Tull said AiM asked for this money 18 months ago.

Smith said AiM was $1,900 behind.

“They’re behind now, so if we give them $1,500, we’re not even getting them out of the hole,” Tull said.

Simpson first moved to donate $1,500, amending Johnny Norris’ motion to give the full $5,000, but after some discussion, raised the amount to $2,500.

Blanton memorial unveiled in Adamsville last weekend

Staff Photo by Jeff Whitten

O. H. “Shorty” Freeland, Conan Hall and Thomas Blanton pose at the dedication of the Ray Blanton memorial in Adamsville last Saturday. Freeland, who served as an aide to Blanton when he was State Representative, U. S. Representative and Governor, as well as during his unsuccessful U. S. Senate campaign, financed the monument in part with sales from his book “Ray Blanton and I”. The Adamsville City Commission also helped with financing. Hall was on the Chester County patronage committee. “Shorty Freeland and Ray Blanton were the only political types who ever told me the truth,” Hall said. Thomas, a distant cousin of the former Governor, helped design and build the monument. City Commissioner Frank Lacey served as master of ceremonies, filling in for Mayor David Leckner, who was sidelined by a stomach bug. State Democratic Party Chairman Roy Herron gave the keynote address in which he talked about Blanton’s legacy. Freeland also gave an emotional address. Blanton, the highest elected official from McNairy County, was convicted for selling liquor licenses, though nine of the 11 counts were eventually reversed on appeal. The Highway 45 Bypass, the four-lane expansion of Highway 22 from Adamsville to Milledgeville and the present four-lane bridge over the Tennessee River to Savannah were all begun during the Blanton Administration, which lasted from 1975 to 1979. Blanton died in 1996.

Milledgeville declares Heritage Day

By Janet Rail Publisher

The mayor and board of aldermen in Milledgeville signed a proclamation declaring April 26, 2014 as a day of celebration – their inaugural Annual Heritage Day. This day will be celebrated with numerous events for the enjoyment of citizens, complete with rides, food vendors, minitractor pull, tractor, auto and motorcycle show, health screenings and more. The city plans to host a Heritage Day the last Saturday of April in the years to come.

The mayor and board are busy finalizing festivities and encourage all citizens to come and enjoy a fun filled day of fellowship and commemorating the rich heritage of the community. Any citizen with old stories, photos or archives are encouraged to bring them to the festival to display and so the city can collect and make copies of important historical data for preservation. Registration begins at 9 a.m. for the tractor pull, tractor, auto and motorcycle shows at the city park.

“I spoke with a representative from Southwest and they stated the final corrections were made to documents for the addition to the fire department and were sent to Nashville,” said Mayor Dannie Kennedy.

The city discussed the continued need for roof repairs to city hall. “I have two people who are going to submit bids on the roof. One

contractor was here today to look at the roof and will submit a bid. He has a couple of different recommendations for us to consider.

The other man will also give me an estimate and I will present to ya'll,” said Kennedy.

The board approved a $100 expenditure to cover the expense of gun powder for the Sons of the Confederacy. The group will bring a cannon to the festival and plan to fire it several times during the event.

The board passed a motion to secure insurance coverage for the one day event. Mayor Kennedy will be securing insurance based on the boards approval.

The board reported continued improvements on the concession stand, the park grounds and to secure a covering for the ramp outside the Ross Building prior to the event.

Mayor Kennedy stated the land for sale

by Marie Welles was purchased for just over $5,000 which was approved in previous meetings. The board had the opportunity to review the recorded deed and noted the purchase was finalized.

There was no new information regarding potential lighting around the walking track in the park. The board reviewed historical information available at the meeting and is in the process of securing historical photos from the public to share at the festival.

The board approved the March 10 minutes and the financial report.

County Commission looks at roads, grant application

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

The McNairy County Commission met last Monday in a fast paced meeting.

During the meeting, the board approved last month’s minutes then moved on to hear the road report from County Road Commissioner David McCullar.

McCullar said that a $389,000 bridge construction project on the Rowsey School Road Bridge had begun and was expected to take up to three months. He also said that another bridge repair project on Capooth Road was set to be finished in the next week or so.

McCullar also clarified a legal question for the board about right of ways. He said that according to Tennessee law, the county owns the right of way next to any road that it has maintained for at least 20 years. He said the question came up because some property owners have stated they owned the right of way.

The commission entered their debt plan, passed last year, into the minutes in order to satisfy a requirement of the 3 Star Program for the county.

Donaldson had been nominated to replace Earl Johnson on the county’s audit committee.

Brooks said that no action was required this month, but Donaldson’s nomination would be considered at the next meeting.

Brooks addressed the commission on the slow pace of job creation and relayed a story about how then Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker pushed for the creation of industrial land which he believed had potential. Brooks said that Corker was able to secure the land, but it was another 15 years before the city was able to find an industry to develop it. Today the land is a Volkswagen Plant which employees hundreds of residents.

In other news, the board passed a resolution allowing for minor amendments to a Community Development Block Grant which Adamsville had picked up on the county’s behalf for sewer repair or expansion. Brooks said that the amendments were standard, but needed the approval because it was listed on the grant.

In a final piece of news, the county approved a resolution to reapply for a second year of funding for a litter grant it had also received last year.

McNAIRY VOICES Should beer sales be allowed on Sundays after noon in Selmer? Why or why not?

By U.S. Senator Bob Corker Submitted Article

When visiting recently with Tennesseans across eight counties, I received several questions about the crisis in Ukraine and why it matters to the United States. With so many problems here at home, I understand why many Tennesseans wonder why Russia’s aggression is a threat to our country’s interests, and why the U.S. should get involved in a territory more than 5,700 miles away.

These are valid questions and ones that I have been examining since Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military unlawfully invaded Crimea, a territory of its sovereign neighbor – Ukraine.

As ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I have been highly involved in crafting legislation that the president signed into law last week to provide aid to Ukraine and impose costs on the Putin regime. I’m proud of the bill because it makes it clear to our allies and Russia that our country will stand together with the people of Ukraine and work toward a resolution to this crisis. The U.S. must show strong leadership and defend Ukraine’s independence. If not, and if the U.S. and its allies allow Putin’s actions to go without serious consequences, what will deter him from further aggression?

Since the end of World War II, the U.S. has played a central role in helping rebuild a Europe that is whole, free and at peace. These efforts culminated in the collapse of the Berlin Wall, which signaled the end of the Soviet Union. The defeat of communism generated stronger and more prosperous U.S. allies, open to American business and willing to defend our mutual security in the future. In 1994, the U.S. was involved in an agreement in which Ukraine gave up one of the world’s largest stockpiles of nuclear weapons in exchange for commitments from the U.S., Great Britain and Russia to “respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.”

Putin’s takeover of Crimea is in direct violation of this accord, the consequences of which are far reaching. This event puts important agreements to stop the spread of nuclear weapons at risk. Additionally, Russia’s forcible seizure of sovereign territory causes bordering nations to question Putin’s next potential target. It was only six years ago when Russia invaded Georgia.

We also have important economic interests at stake. If left unchallenged, Russia’s actions threaten the economic stability of the region, which can affect our trading partners and worldwide markets. Despite possessing just 4.5 percent of the global population, the U.S. generates 22 percent of the world’s economic activity. In addition, foreign-owned companies like Volkswagen in Chattanooga, Nissan North America in Smyrna, Bridgestone in Nashville, Hankook Tire in Clarksville, and Electrolux in Memphis provide longterm, transformative investments in our communities that can only occur by the U.S. playing a leading role in maintaining a free and peaceful international economic order.

To help address some of these challenges, the bill I coauthored mandates tough sanctions against individuals and entities involved in undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and it authorizes the president to impose sanctions for corruption inside Russia. These measures will serve as a tool to help isolate Russian officials whose support is essential for Putin’s ability to retain power.

The legislation also provides aid to strengthen democracy and enhance security efforts in Ukraine and Eastern Europe. Furthermore, it allows Ukraine to obtain loans to support its economy. A more stable, secure Ukraine will be better able to complete the political and economic steps necessary to set the country on a path to greater independence and prosperity. By passing this legislation and signing it into law, the United States government is sending a unified message of support to the Ukrainian people and a clear signal to Russia that its actions won’t go unpunished. We also must remain resolute and the Obama administration must demonstrate a willingness to ratchet up the pressure on the Russian economy if Putin continues on his current path.

Timidity has no place in our foreign policy and would only invite further aggression down the road.

The crisis in Ukraine is a defining moment for the defense of freedom, for the sovereignty of nations, and frankly, for the credibility of the United States. The U.S. must assert leadership and work with our allies toward a peaceful solution.

Kimberly Ballard (Selmer): “Yes. I feel like it’s our given right to be happy, and as long as you’re not doing anything to hurt anyone else, I have no difficulty at all with it.”

Dale Mercer (Selmer): “They should.”

Sonya Brand (Selmer): “I think it would be good for the economy. I’m for it.”

Kristy Langford (Selmer): “No.”

Elizabeth Stovall (Selmer):

Travis Foster (Selmer):

“Well, in my experience, if someone really wants to drink beer, then they’ll find a place to buy it, so it’s all right with me if they sell it on Sunday.”

“I think it’s okay to sell it on Sunday as any other day because a lot of places sell it on Sunday and we might as well get the taxes on it.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Family blames new law for loss of medical coverage Editor’s Note: This letter was received by the Independent Appeal and the author asked if we had heard of anyone else in the local area who has been denied or has lost coverage for certain types of care because of the Affordable Care Act. We have not...But felt that their personal experience was worth sharing with our readers.

My wife didn’t have insurance, and in the first week of March, her colon burst and she had to be rushed to a regional hospital in Jackson due to her condition. She had seven hour emergency surgery right away, and now has a Colostomy bag. We were told she would get home care twice a week for at least a month or more, and also her supplies (the bags and waffles) would be paid for.

The day she was discharged, the agent from UNC Health Care came to her room and told us she did not qualify for free home care, and gave a 15 minute class on what to do. We only make $800 a month, and when we went to Selmer Housing, they said they were taken off that part due to ObamaCare, so she gave us a sheet of paper with a website to apply for ObamaCare, and if denied there, the Tennessee Health Care Connection in Nashville. We were denied at both locations. We were denied

by ObamaCare twice, and here we sit with no supplies, other than the ten bags and four waffles from the hospital. (The bags can be used for five days, but she needs her waffle changed every 72 hours.)

Thanks to the nurse at the hospital who took an hour or more with us, changed the waffle and the bag, and said she would definitely need home care. The woman from the hospital said that it costs $90 a day for home care, and suggested that we ask our church. I disagree; Why should a place of worship that I love have to pay for things the healthcare systems should be paying for? (I did get a nice lady to come over and check on me once a week for free, she cleans and changes my wife’s waffle and bag. God knows I am so thankful.)

So what are we to do? We are on food stamps and have a limited income, as our food stamps were just lowered from $331 to $90 a month. Please help if you can, or if you could help get the word out to anyone who may be able to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

All of us probably agree with the sentiment that children should outlive their parents. It is one of the worst losses to experience when a parent loses a child. Granted there are different ways in which a parent may lose a child other than death. None are pleasant and all leave you feeling the pain of mind which is grief. Ranking second (NCHS) in all age groups from infancy to age 24 in 2010 involving child related casualties amounted to 4,345 reported incidents. 168 of those were suicide. 4,043 were homicides. Ranking second in the age of 4 years and under, 245 are classified as homicide. Ranking fourth in the same year there were 2,438 casualties, again across the age spectrum, but this time 2,046 were suicide and 165 were homicide.

These may only appear to be numbers to some, but not if you have been personally affected by one or more of these tragedies. I cannot imagine the sorrow upon sorrow one may be feeling at the loss of a child by any means, let alone by one of the methods identified above.

My heart aches just thinking about the grief immeasurable a family must be enduring that has experienced the loss of a child. I remember reading a book written by a mother after the loss of her three children in a house fire.

If memory serves correctly, she relied upon her faith in God to sustain her during her healing. This is the best place to begin.

Other resources I would suggest are seeking additional support system, a journal to track your progress and etch in paper memories not to be forgotten, and some service project to remember those who have gone on to their reward, that reflects a positive response to all who view or take part. This is open to interpretation as to what may be done. sunrise@sfdcares.com

ENGAGEMENT

BIRTHDAY

J. Lipford’s Alley

By Toni Watson Contributor

Ingenious, that’s what it is. Just ingenious the way Jennifer Lipford has been able to maximize the floor space of her new shop at 152 E. Main Street. She calls it her Alley and has been told by you folks in town who can remember yesteryears that it truly was an alley at one time. Now it’s far more difficult to describe because Jennifer has managed to diversify the different spaces in her shop.

J. Lipford’s Alley is the first sign of new life coming back to the area of town that was hit by the devastating fire that wiped out the Sawmeal on November 28, 2011. Yes, it has been that long ago and the“hole in the wall”can no longer claim at least one of the buildings to its side. What was once the Tanning Alley, what once stood sentry as firemen dashed around hoping to save it and it died anyway has now sprung back to life. The wonder of it all is that when Jennifer and her husband Kevin began seeing if the little building could fit her needs, the electrical and the plumbing were all exactly where they needed to be.

The beautiful “skeleton” of the timbers that gave it such character were just waiting to be discovered under the paneling. And all the design factors mixed with the realities to create a unique shop.

Now Jennifer didn’t originally claim her roots in McNairy County since she grew up in Savannah, but she’s now proud to call Adamsville home. In addition to her husband Kevin, she rounds out her family with Carlee and Stone, who are active at the high school, and little Paisley June who is all of three years old. But those aren’t the only hearts that are dear to her. Her heart longs to seek the will of God. She attempts to live and work in such a way that others will know the God who leads her. You see, this little shop isn’t

just the result of a wish come true. Jennifer has been cutting, coloring, perming and styling hair for over twenty years.

During all that time she awaited God’s promptings to step out on her own. And now is the time. She hopes those who see this little bit of Main Street come back to life will stir their own hopes for Adamsville’s Main Street in a way that has been missing for over two years.

The delight in visiting her shop is to see the outcome of so many friends that wish her business to be successful.

Her talented friends and family have created an extensive variety of artwork that is for sale. From perky little roosters to lovely framed photography – it’s all there. In addition, she has costume jewelry, scarves, bags, and skin care items. The skin care items are from “Made on Acorn Hill” – a company established by two mothers who wanted to be certain the products they were using on their children were organic in nature. They now create soaps, salves, and lotions that appeal to adults, as well as caring for youngsters. It’s a line that Jennifer is proud to offer and she believes you will be happy to use.

So, join me in the delight of Main Street coming alive with yet again one more shop to play in. And join Jenifer on April 26 for her ribbon cutting if you’d like! In the meantime, if you’re just looking for a nifty hairdo or haircut, she’s open Tuesday through Saturday. It would be best to call ahead because he has been delightfully busy ever since she opened the shop. And even if you’re not looking for that haircut, visit her to see how she’s managed to take a little bit of space and make it both functional and beautiful. Surely you won’t be able to leave out the door without some little package in your hand!

INDEPENDENT APPEAL v PAGE 9A

McNairy County Health Care

CNA Phillips and resident Sevier Paden

years there was a special needs class in her school and in that class was Christopher.

She would meet him in the hall walking on his walker up and down the halls. She would always say hi to him and they became friends.

He would always laugh and smile when he saw her and start following her around the school. One day his aide asked if she would like to help with his care during her lunch or study hall. She immediately said yes so during her lunch and study hall she would hang out with Christopher.

There were a lot of things she could not do for him but she would laugh and walk with him and try to make his day brighter. His aide saw the quick friendship and ased if she would like to become a certified nursing assistant and help more people with care such as helping them eat lunch.

She quickly agreed and so Maya then went to work at a nursing home to obtain her nursing assistance license.

Phillips said she loves her job here at McNairy County Health Care

By Dorothy Goodrum Contributor

Maya Phillips is a Certified Nursing Assistant on the one hundred hall, when I asked her who is your favorite patient her immediate answer was Sevier Paden.

She became a nursing assistant in 1994 and the main reason was because of a little boy named Christopher. During her high school

Center because she can care for patients like Ms. Sevier Paden.

Ms. Sevier has a very strong work ethic and believes in the importance of an education. She keeps Maya on her toes by asking about her family and she is always very interested in her daughter Grace. When they talk about Grace she always wants to know what she plans to do with her life. She wants to make sure Grace plans to go to college and becomes a well-educated person.

Ms. Sevier sometimes has trouble with her short term memory and may ask the same question more than once in a day but she always remembers every word of the Lord’s Prayer and so many other things that were and still are very important to her. She remembers her sister and always asks me about her.

As we get older sometimes we have trouble remembering things that happen yesterday, but can usually remember the things in the past. Sevier is a very devoted family lady and believes that if you want to achieve things in this life you have to further your education and strive to be all you can be. What a smart lady no wonder Maya thinks you are the best Ms. Sevier.

Until next time….

Deidre Beene honored by university On behalf of the University of Tennessee Martin-Selmer/McNairy Center, Sandy King accepts a plaque from Alex Beene, son of Deidre Beene, commemorating the writing center being named the Deidre Hillard Beene Writing Center at a ceremony last Tuesday in Selmer. Deidre was Director of the UTM-Selmer Center before her recent passing. Alex spoke emotionally about how his mother worked tirelessly for the establishment of the center and the effect she had on people’s lives. Alex said someone told him that if it had not been for his mother, he would have neither a degree nor a job.

Fire Marshal Promotes Wildfire Preparednes NASHVILLE, TN – Tennessee is known for its dynamic landscape and residents often choose to take advantage of its natural beauty by building homes in or near forests, rural areas, or on mountain sites. These remote locations, though beautiful, come with an increased threat of wildfire.

“Wildfires often begin unnoticed,” Tennessee State Fire Marshal and Commerce & Insurance Commissioner Julie Mix McPeak says. “They spread quickly, igniting brush, trees, and homes.

Reduce your risk by preparing now, before a wildfire starts. Meet with your family to decide what to do and where to go if wildfires threaten your area.”

The best way to protect against a wildfire is to plan ahead. Follow the

U.S. Fire Administration’s steps listed below to best protect your family and property.

Plan & Practice Wildfire Safety •Conduct outdoor burning safely and legally, being sure to secure the appropriate permits.

• Make sure that fire response vehicles can reach your home. Clearly mark all driveway entrances and display your name and address. Ensure adequate accessibility by large fire vehicles to your property.

•Report hazardous conditions that could cause a wildfire.

•Teach children about fire safety. Instill in them that fire is a tool for adults, not a toy. Keep matches and lighters out of their reach.

•Post fire emergency telephone numbers.

Several members of the group joined up with community leaders who came out to show their support for the group including McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks, Sheriff Guy Buck, Judge Van McMahan and local attorney and 25th Judicial District Attorney General Candidate DJ Norton. One of the event organizers Sally Lawhon, said that the group took in more than $700 at the event in membership dues and donations. Currently, the group is focusing its resources on a spay and neuter program which they would like to expand in the area in the coming years. The group eventually plans to work with government leaders and community members to raise funding and secure a permanent source of funding to erect a animal shelter in McNairy County.

USDA Announces Funding to Train and Educate Next Generation of Farmers and Ranchers Submitted

economy. As the average age of farmers continues to rise, we have no time to lose in getting more new farmers and ranchers established.” said Secretary Vilsack. “Reauthorizing and expanding the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program is one of the many resources the 2014 Farm Bill gave us to build America’s agricultural future.

Through this program,

USDA

WASHINGTON, April 11, 2014 – Today, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the availability of more than $19 million in grants to help train, educate and enhance the sustainability of the next generation of agricultural producers through the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program.

“USDA is committed to the next generation of America’s farmers and ranchers because they represent the future of agriculture and are the backbone of our rural

we can build a diverse next generation of farmers and ranchers.”

BFRDP is an education, training, technical assistance and outreach program designed to

help farmers, ranchers and managers of nonindustrial private forest land – specifically those aiming to start farming and those who have been farming or ranching for 10 or fewer years.

It is managed by the National Institutes of Food and Agriculture. NIFA will competitively award grants to organizations conducting programs to help beginning farmers and ranchers. Learn more about eligibility and how to apply (applications are due June 12, 2014).

Priority will be given to projects that are partnerships and collaborations led by or including non-governmental, community-based, or schoolbased agricultural educational organizations.

All applicants are required to provide funds or in-kind support from non-federal sources in an amount that is at least equal to 25 percent of the federal funds requested.

By law, at least five percent of available funding will be allocated to programs and services for limited-resource and socially-disadvantaged beginning farmers and ranchers and farmworkers. Additionally, another five percent of available funding will be allocated for programming and

services for military veteran farmers and ranchers.

BFRDP was authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill, receiving $100 million to be awarded over the next five years. The program was originally funded through the 2008 Farm Bill. Since then, NIFA has awarded more than $66 million through 136 grants to organizations that have developed education and training programs. More than 50,000 beginning farmers and ranchers have participated in projects funded by BRFDP. NIFA is hosting two upcoming webinars for interested applicants on April 30 and May 6 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. The first webinar will focus on general guidelines for the program, while the second webinar will focus on the funding allocations for socially-disadvantaged and military veteran farmers and ranchers.

Through federal funding and leadership for research, education and extension programs, NIFA focuses on investing in science and solving critical issues impacting people’s daily lives and the nation’s future. More information is available at: www.nifa.usda.gov.

11 Facts About Easter

(Dosomething. org) - Easter Sunday is only a few hops away, and while you are coloring eggs, eating chocolate bunnies and searching your home for hidden treats, here are some facts to share with your family and friends.

Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Christ three days after his death. It is the oldest Christian holiday and the most important day of the church year.

Christians consider Easter eggs to symbolize joy and celebration, new life and resurrection.

Households spend $131 on Easter each year, $14.7 billion in total.

After Halloween, Easter is the biggest candy consuming holiday. 120 million pounds of candy are bought each year, enough to fill four dump trucks.

90 million chocolate bunnies, 91.4 billion eggs and 700 million peeps are produced each year in the United States.

76% of people eat the ears on chocolate bunnies first.

Americans consume over 16 million jellybeans on Easter, enough to circle the globe three times over.

Half of the states in the United States have banned the practice of dyeing chicks for Easter. However, Florida recently overturned the 45-year-old law of preventing the dyeing of animals, which will come into effect July 1st.

When coloring Easter eggs, it is recommended to use food grade dyes, commercial egg dyes, fruit-drink powders or liquid food coloring.

To help Americans in need, egg farmers across the country are donating more than 11 million eggs to food banks across the nation.

The White House hosts an Easter Egg Roll on the front lawn each year. This tradition was started by President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1878.

TBI releases 2013 “Crime on Campus” study The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has released its annual report on Crime on Campus measuring the nature, volume and extent of reported crime on the campuses and in the housing of Tennessee colleges and universities during calendar year 2013.

Among the report’s findings: •Overall, crime reported

by Tennessee’s colleges and universities decreased by 11.6% from 2012 to 2013.

•While offenses in the “Larceny/

Theft” category decreased, reported instances of Burglary and Robbery increased in the same time period.

•In contrast to a decrease in the previous year’s study, the overall category of “Sex Offenses – Forcible” increased by 25% in 2013.

“This report will hopefully assist law enforcement, institution administrators, and government officials in planning their effort in the fight against crime,” said TBI Director Mark Gwyn. “The threats to society by criminal activity must

be addressed by efforts from all law-abiding citizens as well as law enforcement agencies.”

The TBI’s CJIS Support Center publishes the report yearly, as required by the College and University Security Information Act, enacted by the Tennessee General Assembly in 1989.

The full 2013 report, including breakdowns by institution, is available in the “Crime on Campus” section of our website: http:// www.tbi.tn.gov/tn_crime_stats/ stats_analys.shtml.

Chester County crowned Champions

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The 30th Annual Independent Appeal Baseball Spectacular has come to a close, and for the third time in four years the Chester County Eagles have been crowned champions.

Chester County McNairy Central

7 3

The Bobcats faced off against their district foe for the tournament championship, and the game stayed exciting from the first pitch on.

The Bobcats sent senior Clay Dancer to the mound, and he started the game off on a strong note. Dancer was able to pitch well against the Eagles, and did not allow a run scored in the first inning.

Once the Bobcats got their chance on offense, they were able to keep the momentum from the previous games going.

McNairy was able to jump on the Eagles and score early, pushing two runs across in the first inning and taking an early 2-0 lead.

However, the Eagles had an answer. Chester County was able to bring the game right back to a tie game when they were able to score two runs of their own in the top of the second inning.

With the game now all square at two runs a piece, the Bobcats needed to do something on their offensive side to keep the game in hand.

Unfortunately, the Eagles’ pitching staff was able to effectively shut down the Bobcats and they were not able to score another run until the final inning.

Although the Bobcats fought the entire way, they were not able to get anything going offensively, and the Eagles were able to slowly extend their lead.

Scoring three more runs in the top of the seventh, the Eagles took their lead to 7-2 and had the championship in their sights.

The Bobcats came back in the bottom of the seventh inning and rallied, but they were only able to push one run across, and they fell to Eagles.

McNairy Central Hardin County

1 0

After the Bobcats got their first win against the Lions, it was their rivals the Hardin County Tigers that were looking to keep McNairy out of the championship game.

The Bobcats had the lefty, Chase Smith, on the mound and the game would turn out to be a pitcher’s duel until the very end.

Through the first five innings, neither side was able to string anything together, and nobody was able to put any runs on the board in this low scoring game.

Finally, in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Bobcats were able to rally and string a few hits together pushing one run across and taking the small lead over the Tigers.

Although Smith had been pitching well the entire game, now the pressure was there.

The Bobcats had to protect a one run lead, and they were able to do just that.

Smith came back on the mound and shut down the Tigers one more time, allowing the Bobcats to hang on and punch their ticket to the championship game.

McNairy would be taking on their rivals the Chester County Eagles.

Lady Cardinals soar over Lady Panthers

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The Adamsville Lady Cardinals made the trip to Parsons, Tenn., to take on the Lady Panthers. The Cardinals got yet another great game from pitcher Gabby Morris, and they were able to come home with the huge win.

Adamsville 5 Riverside 1

The Lady Cardinals were willing to take no chances at a loss, as Gabby Morris stepped into the circle and went to work.

Morris found herself in a pitcher’s duel early in the contest, as both pitchers were throwing the ball very well.

It was not until the bottom of the third inning when the Lady Panthers were able to score the first run of the game.

Down 1-0, the Lady Cardinals had an answer in the top of the fourth inning as they were able to put three runs on the board and put the pressure on the Lady Panthers.

Now having a two run lead, Morris went back to work and looked to hold the Lady Panthers to only one run.

Morris was successful in this task as she was able to shut the Lady Panthers down and did not allow another run to score.

Although the Lady Cardinals had the lead, they wanted to make sure and get some insurance runs in the later innings.

Adamsville was able to push two more runs across in the top of the sixth inning, which extended their lead to 5-1.

The Lady Cardinals, like most teams, expect most of their runs and their RBIs to come from the top of the lineup, but that was not the case in this match-up.

The bottom of the Lady Cardinal lineup stepped up huge, and were responsible for many of the teams runs against the Lady Panthers.

With the way Morris was throwing the ball, this would be all the Lady Cardinals would need. Adamsville fought and clawed throughout the entire game, and they were able to get the results they wanted in the end.

Adamsville played well and they were able to hang on for the huge win.

The Lady Cardinals will have some momentum moving into the upcoming post season tournaments, and they should have a chance to play well into the month of May. AHS: 0 0 0 3 0 2 0 — 5 11 2 RHS: 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 — 1 02 3

Event organizer Quincy Wyke poses with the winners of the first annual Frederick D. Wyke Tennessee State Champion Memorial Highway 5k Run/Walk last Saturday in Eastview. Morgan Toomer was the overall winner and with former McNairy Central High School football star Shannon Wyke coming in second. The walk was held to raise awareness about heart disease and money for a scholarship for county high school students. Frederick, who won the state championship in hurdles and is the only state champion in any sport from McNairy County since the schools were desegregated, died of heart disease in 1987, shortly before he was to be inducted into the Air Force. Quincy, who is Frederick’s brother, said he would build on the success of this year’s event to make it even better next year. A seminar on heart disease and CPR was held prior to the run/walk.

The Bobcats opened up this years Independent Appeal tournament against the Scotts Hill Lions, and it was a great game until the end.

Blake McCalvin took the mound for the Bobcats, and he opened the game by not allowing the Lions to put anything on the board.

Baseball Spectacular.

McCalvin was able to hold the Lions

scoreless through the first two innings, but the Lions were able to score one run in both the third and fourth innings.

Having not scored since the first inning, the Bobcats needed an answer. They got it in the bottom of the fourth inning when they were able to push one more run across and take a 3-2 lead.

Keeping with the momentum, the Bobcats were able to score one more run in the bottom of the fifth inning, and this seemed to be all that McCalvin would need.

The Lions tried to threaten the Bobcat lead, but they were only able to score one run in the top of the seventh inning and the Bobcats were able to hang on for their first win of the tournament.

By Morgan Ouellette Sports Writer

The Adamsville Cardinals kicked up plenty of grass last Thursday against Fayette Ware, but ultimately lost by one goal 2-1.

Adamsville’s boys played hard the entire game and communicated with each other as great teammates should.

They defended their home field very well, keeping Fayette Ware at bay as much as they could.

Senior Jake Baker scored against Fayetter Ware, while the Cardinals attempted a total of 12 on-target goals throughout the duration of the game.

Fayette Ware attempted 10, and Cardinals goalie Jack Majors saved eight of those 10.

When it came down to it, Fayette Ware took home a victory defeating the Adamsville Cardinals.

“We played very well against a much improved team,” comments Head Coach Steve Price, “We were just a few small mishaps away from 2-3 extra goals. We will get back to work and make a solid push the next couple of weeks.”

Adamsville’s soccer team was scheduled to play Madison Academic last Tuesday, but was canceled and moved to a later date.

The Cardinals season record stands at 1-2-4. One win, two ties and four losses.

Lady Bobcats face off with Lady Tigers

By Brian Azevedo Sports Editor

The McNairy Central Lady Bobcats made the trip to Lexington, Tenn., to take on the defending state champions, and could not come away with the big district win.

Lexington McNairy Central

The Lady Bobcats started the game on the offensive side, but they were not able to get much started in the first inning.

After not being able to score the Lady Cats took over on defense, but it was Molly Grace King who got the start for the Lady Cats.

King was prepared to face the Lady Tiger’s powerful offense, but she was unable to avoid Lexington’s bats.

The Lady Tigers were able to jump on the Lady Bobcats early, and score 11 runs in the bottom of the first inning.

As the three outs were made, the Lady Bobcats again took their turn with the sticks, but again they were not able to get anything going offensively.

However, with Dani Mask now in the circle for the Lady Bobcats, McNairy Central was able to shut the Lady Tigers down for an inning and kept them from scoring any runs in the second inning.

The Lady Cats got another shot on offense, but the Lady Tiger pitching was on a roll and the Lady Bobcats were once again unable to score any runs in the game.

Once the bottom of the third inning came around, the Lady Tigers were able to get another rally going and they were able to push three runs across in the third inning.

The Lady Bobcats would have one last chance to make up the ground, but the Lady Tigers were not going to allow that to happen.

Although the Lady Bobcats played well, they could not get the bats going when they needed too, and the fell in the late season district match-up.

Adamsville 11 Scotts Hill 01

The Lady Cardinals opened their game against the Lady Lions on defense, and Parker Davis stepped on the rubber ready to throw.

Once the Cardinals took their turn at bat, the offense opened up.

Adamsville was able to jump out in front, and push three runs across in the first inning.

As the Lady Cardinals went back into the field, Davis continued to dominate the Lady Lions and made it a quick inning getting the Lady Cards back at the plate.

Keeping the bats going in the second inning, the Lady Cards were able to rally together and score two more runs in the second inning, extending their lead over the Lady Lions.

As the third inning got started Davis continued her strong performance on the mound, but in the bottom half of the inning the Lady Cardinals were shut down and were held scoreless in the inning.

Once the bottom of the fourth inning came around, the Lady Cards were again able to get their offense rolling and they were able to put two runs on the board extending their lead to 7-0.

Chester County Adamsville

The Adamsville Cardinals opened the tournament agains the Chester County Eagles from Henderson, Tenn.

The Cardinals opened the game in the field, and it was Junior pitcher Stone Lipford who took the mound for the Cardinals.

It took a little while for the Lipford to find his rhythm on the mound, and the Eagles were able to jump out to a quick three run lead.

The score stayed 3-0 through the first two innings, as the Cardinals were not able to get the bats going early.

Once the top of the third inning came around, the Eagles offense exploded and Chester County was able to put seven runs on the board and take a big lead over the Cardinals.

Unfortunately for the Redbirds, they were not able to get any offense together and they were shut out for the game.

Since Chester County was up 10, the game was over in five innings and the Cardinals were forced to take a tough loss to open the tournament.

Down big, the Cardinals had a tough road to make the comeback but they were ready to fight the whole way.

Holding the Tigers off the scoreboard in the fourth inning, the Cardinals were able to add another run to their score in the bottom of the fourth and cut the lead down a little bit more.

Unfortunately for the Cardinals, the Tigers were able to bounce back in the top of the fifth inning and score two more runs extending their lead to 10-5.

Moving into the bottom half of the inning, the Cardinals were running out of time and had to make their move.

Adamsville was able to rally in the bottom of the fifth, and got a game winning RBI hit from Sophomore, Dakota Banks, to complete to comeback and record the exciting win.
