TRUANCY OFFICER CHARGED IN Bethel board SELMER ALDERMAN’S ASSAULT reinstates officer

By Jeff Whitten

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

Selmer Alderman John Preston Smith was allegedly assaulted on Jan. 31 by Eric Holcombe, truancy officer for the McNairy County School District.

According to the incident report provided by the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department, Smith told Deputy Amy Ballard, that it was not his week to have his kids but since it was his birthday he wanted to spend a few hours with them.

Along with friend Brian Dickey, who is McNairy County Registrar of Deeds, Smith went to the Guys home of his estranged wife, Rebecca, to pick up the kids.

Smith said that Holcombe came outside, jerked Smith’s car door open and told Smith that he needed to be more respectable to Rebecca.

Smith told Ballard that he replied, “Excuse me” and at that time Holcombe grabbed him by his hair, drug him out of the car and kicked him in the head.

Dickey said that at that point Holcombe backed away from Smith and allowed him to leave.

Smith then left Holcombe’s property and went home. Deputy Ballard arrived in Smith’s home in Selmer and took Smith’s statement.

Smith had an apparent head injury and told Ballard that he was going to the emergency room.

Ballard then contacted Holcombe and asked him to come to the Justice Complex and give his statement on what happened.

HOLCOMBE Holcombe told Ballard that Smith did have permission to pick up the children. Holcombe then said he went outside to talk to

Escaped convict located in McNairy County

By Christen Coulon Editor

An escaped criminal was captured last Friday by the Selmer Police Department behind the strip of fast food restaurants and gas stations along Highway 45 in Selmer.

Following the incident, Robert Bryant faces escape charges and Elizabeth Foster, who stands accused of aiding Bryant, faces a charge of accessory after the fact on an escape.

This escape was not what one usually thinks of when hearing of a jail break. The fugitive did not scale any walls, dig a tunnel or sneak out in a laundry truck. The escapee, Bryant, was actually released from the Hardeman County Jail at noon last Thursday for a scheduled medical procedure. However, when he did not return as

scheduled at 6 p.m. following his medical furlough, an alert was issued for his escape.

Officials in Hardeman County were tipped off after Bryant was seen leaving the vehicle he was traveling in. They were notified that their wanted man may be in Selmer and made a call to the local authorities.

“We got some info from the Hardeman County Sheriff’s Dept. that Robert Bryant was in this area,” said Lt. Tony Miller, Selmer Police Department.

He said that the Hardeman County Sheriff’s Dept. notified him that they were sending officers to that location to assist the Selmer authorities in the capture.

Miller said that the subject was reported

Fundraiser is the place to be Thursday night

By Christen Coulon Editor

What makes the perfect Valentine’s date...candy, desserts, music, dancing, or maybe a selfless act of charity? What if you could roll all of those things into one wonderful evening for a price that is easy on your wallet?

Well, you can.

This Thursday from 5-8 p.m., The Independent Appeal will host the For the Love of Literacy Dessert Tasting Fundraiser at the Selmer Community Center, which features 23 dessert tasting booths, refreshments, and music from the band After Hours. With everything from cakes, cookies and pies to exotic fare such as Italian ice and gelato, this event is the perfect way start to any Valentine’s Day weekend.

Several door prizes, including a 19in. HDTV will be given away during the event.

Admission is only $5 (with children under five free), and proceeds go to fund the McNairy County Literacy Council and Adult Education. The event has also generated 19 financial contributors including Modern Woodman - Sammie Smith in Adamsville who has generously offered to match up to $2,500 in contributions.

The vendors will be competing for one of three coveted awards including Best Dessert, People’s Choice Award and the Best Presentation Valentines Theme. The people’s

Selmer officer Jeremy Wilson, who was charged with domestic assault pleaded guilty in Chester County Circuit Court on Jan. 24, according to a court order provided by the Clerk’s office.

Judge Larry McKenzie ordered a plea expungement, which means that if he comes back with proof that he is in counseling

by March 9 at his next hearing, the charges will probably be dismissed.

Wilson, who is represented by attorney Chip Sherrod, has been free on $2,000 bond since Jan. 8. The prosecuting attorney is Al Earls.

Wilson was arrested on Jan. 4.

According to the report filed by arresting officer Sgt. Ricky Hardy of the Henderson Police Department, “(She) appeared to be very upset and crying. I noticed red marks on her right forearm and upper arm.”

In her statement to the police, Wilson‘s wife said the incident was precipitated by an argument over Wilson’s drinking at their residence.

His wife said that during the argument, Wilson grabbed her wrist and twisted her arms back. At that time, she said their son jumped on Wilson’s back in an attempt to stop him.

Mrs. Wilson then said that Wilson threatened her if she called the police. At that time, it is alleged that Wilson grabbed his wife and twisted her arm a second time with the couple’s son again attempting to intervene.

Wilson’s wife then called an off-duty deputy from the Chester County Sheriff’s Department for assistance.

When Deputy Celinda Davidson arrived, she said that she spoke with two juveniles who witnessed the altercation and said that both confirmed the account of Wilson getting mad and twisting his wife’s arms.

FCC to impose new requirements on first responders

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

The Federal Communications Commission will impose new requirements on police and fire radios at the beginning of next year.

This requirement is called narrowbanding and involves decreasing the channel bandwidth from current 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz or less at frequencies below 512 MHz. Any equipment that is not capable of operating

on these new bandwidths will need to be replaced.

Most public safety systems operate below this frequency.

One misconception about the requirements is that it requires digital equipment. However, according to the FCC, analog equipment can still be used if it can operate on channels of 12.5 kHz or less.

Public safety agencies must either apply for new licenses or modify existing licenses to comply with the requirements by that deadline.

Narrowbanding is used to trans-

Circus wows residents of Selmer Jan. 31

By Christen Coulon Editor

The Stardust Circus came to Selmer for a one-night performance Jan. 31 at the Selmer Community Center. The event was attended by hundreds of local residents and featured the talented Stardust Circus troop, who hail from the nation of Colombia.

The circus began with the ringmaster inviting all of the children in the audience to approach the center ring special seating with a great view of the action.

The show began with a juggler who entertained the crowd as he threw various items into act including bowling pins, rings, hats and finally flaming sticks. The audience was then treated to a trained monkey who walked the tight rope and danced.

Next, the ringmaster invited all of the children into the ring for a coloring book contest with winners all receiving a special toy.

The circus continued with a clown who pulled several men from the audience into his act. The clown made each of the men perform a funny dance with him inside the ring and then used the gentlemen to perform a balancing trick. The trick involved the men setting in a square on chairs, they were then asked to lean back as the clown removed each chair. When all of the chairs were removed the men were balanced supporting each other’s weight and remained in the seated position without falling.

Following the clown’s performance, a hula-hoop dancer accompanied by a light show dazzled the audience.

“We all liked the circus,” said Brandi Hurst of Selmer. “My children loved it. Their favorite part was the elephant and the contortionist.

Hurst was referring to the 11-year-old contortionist who was able to twist her body like a pretzel, and the stuffed animal elephant who came to life right before being kicked by a clown. The elephant would run around the ring once each time it was wound with a special key. At the end of the performance it was revealed that the stuffed elephant was in fact a trained dog.

This year’s circus featured several other funny clown acts as well as acrobatic acts and was well received by the crowd.

After seeing the Circus Hurst said that she and her family were impressed with this year’s performance and that everyone had a great time.

“We went last year, but it was better this year,” Hurst said.

What’s so civil about civil war reenactment? Organizers weigh in on dispute

By Jeff Whitten Head News Writer

After a previous story on the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh, Tom Doss, Confederate Commander of the Armies of Tennessee, and Nita Rutledge, public relations coordinator for the group, approached the Independent Appeal in order to respond to parts of the article and to offer additional information about their reenactment and their group.

In the previous story, Gen. Joe Way of the rival group the Blue Gray Alliance after being told that the AOT said that it had offered to merge the two reenactments but was refused by the BGA said, “That’s not true, they have real

problems with the truth.”

Doss and Rutledge provided the Independent Appeal a copy of a certified letter proposing that the two rival reenactments merge, along with a receipt signed by Donna Jo Way. The letter was dated May 23, 2011 and was signed for on June 10 of that year.

Doss said that he made the same invitation verbally at the Hardin County Courthouse after the letter was sent. He remembers that the meeting was in the summer of 2011.

In an earlier email to the Independent Appeal, Way said that the AOT did not have enough land for a joint reunion.

According to Doss, AOT has 740 acres available and another

choice award will be chosen by attendees and the remaining awards will be chosen by a panel of local judges.

Selmer Mayor David Robinson, Adamsville Mayor David Leckner, Bethel Springs Mayor Kay Cox, Lucy Martin and Dr. Toni Watson have all signed on as judges for the event.

In addition, State Senator Delores Gresham, senate education chair, is planning on attending Thursday’s event.

“I would like to invite the community to come for a night of their favor-

ite desserts and entertainment,” said Patsy Pearson, supervisor of adult education and literacy council member.

“This is truly a worthwhile fundraising event.”

Pearson said the money will go to fund building expenses, testing fees and instruction for the adult education program as well as other literacy council programs such as even start and Pilot Pre-K classes. However she said that while the funding goes to the literacy council, the effects of these donations will be felt throughout the community.

“We provide a vital service to the undereducated adults in the community,” Pearson said. “All of the jobs

mit voice and data at very low speeds.

The purpose of these new requirements is to promote more efficient use of the VHF and UHF land mobile bands. Today, these bands are highly congested and there is not enough spectrum available for licensees to expand existing systems or to implement new systems. As licensees convert to narrower channel bandwidth, new channels will become available for licensing to parties that need them.

Even prior to the deadline, transmissions from wideband channels (25kHz) will be subject to interference from new narrowband systems. For this reason, the FCC suggests that fire and police departments make the transition as soon as practicable, subject to budgetary processes.

The narrowbanding requirements were adopted as part of a process named refarming.

The purpose of this process was to consolidate 20 separate radio services into two pools; a public safety pool and an industrial/business pool. The business/industrial pool includes things like taxicabs and tow trucks.

Spectrum that is freed up by narrowbanding will be used for these same purposes, according to the FCC. There are no plans to auction off this additional spectrum. It is distributed on a first-come-first-served basis.

The switch is affecting different local fire departments in different ways.

The Selmer Fire Department switched to narrowband about five years ago, according to Selmer Fire Chief Anthony Carr.

The Ramer Volunteer Fire Department is still using its old radios, according to Fire Chief Jamie Robertson.

When asked whether he would have the time and funding to switch by the deadline he said, “We’re gonna try.”

The McNairy County Volunteer Fire Department falls somewhere in between the two. It has replaced some radios that are not narrowbanding capable, but not all of them, according to Fire Chief Darryl Goodrum.

The total cost of complying with the mandate is between $60,000 and $70,000. In order to defray some of the costs, the department has applied for a couple of grants. One is the Assis-

740 acres if needed.

When asked why two reenactments are a problem, Doss said that it was confusing for spectators, splits the reenactment community and makes the whole thing political.

“When an event was planned beforehand, why do we need two?” he asked.

Rutledge said that the two events stretch the resources of McNairy and Hardin Counties.

When asked if the rival reenactments mar the commemoration of anniversary of the historic occasion of the Battle of Shiloh, Rutledge said, “We’re not fighting with anyone.”

She noted that the AOT is a 501(c)(3) organization, meaning it is tax exempt under the Internal

today require skills of today and not of yesterday. If our adults are not educated we cannot attract new jobs to McNairy County.”

Pearson said that the 31.5 percent rate of adults in our county without a high school diploma is unacceptable and that we must work as a community to bring that number down.

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

tance to Firefighters grant and the other is the Community Development Block Grant.

Goodrum told the Independent Appeal last Friday that they should be hearing from the CDBG in a few days and the firefighters in a couple of months.

The grants will not be enough to defray all of the costs and some funding from the McNairy County Commission will be necessary, Goodrum said.

He said it will probably be close to the end of the year for the upgrade to be complete.

“We’re waiting for some money. Hopefully, we will get some grants and it will help us out,” Goodrum said.

The Michie Fire Department has also completed the upgrade. It was done gradually, replacing old radios with new ones as they wore out, according to Fire Chief Shirley Clark.

“We’re set. There are not any issues,” Clark said.

Half of the $2,200 cost, as well as other equipment, was paid by a Forestry Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“This was a really necessary thing for us.

Grants really assisted us with this. This would be a big part of our equipment budget. It is a big issue with all fire departments,” Clark said.

The Bethel Springs Volunteer Fire Department already has narrowband capable radios, but is waiting for a frequency list from the Tennessee Department of Homeland Security and the E911 board, according to fire chief David McCullar.

“We are kind of in a holding pattern,” he said.

Most of the Finger Volunteer Fire Department’s radios are also already narrowband capable and will only need to be reprogrammed, according to Fire Chief Steve Stoll.

Stoll said the conversion should be completed by the deadline.

“We addressed it,” he said.

The Milledgeville Volunteer Fire Department is in the process of inventorying its equipment to determine what needs to be replaced, according to Fire Chief Leland Alexander.

The newer radios purchased over the past few years can be reprogrammed, but a few of the handheld units will need to be replaced, Alexander said.

“We’re not going to be in real bad shape,” he said.

Revenue Code. This also means that the organization is a nonprofit.

Admissions for the AOT events are $10 for adults. Children 12 and under get in free. There is also free parking. The reenactment fee for AOT troops is also $10.

Some reenactment facilities are in McNairy County. A joint field hospital and a command center are in Michie.

AOT plans to recreate the entire town of Shiloh, complete with a sheriff and mayor.

Rutledge noted that Shiloh, rather than just consisting of the church from where its name comes, was a thriving community and had a post office long before the Civil War. They will also have a Civil War

to have been at or near the McDonald’s near the intersections of Hwys. 45 and 64. He said that when the officers arrived Bryant was not at that location, however Foster was found at the restaurant and taken into custody.

After a brief search, Miller and Officer Tony Westbrooks caught up with the escapee behind the Burger King and captured him without incident.

By that time, Hardeman County Sheriff’s officials had arrived on scene and Miller and Westbrooks turned Bryant over to their custody for transport

back to the Hardeman County Jail.

“I want to thank Selmer Police and the McNairy County Sheriff’s Departments. They have a wonderful team and did a great job,” said Hardeman County Sheriff John Doolen. “Both (departments) assisted greatly in the search.”

Doolen said this type of furlough was common and said the furlough was granted by the 25th District Circuit Court. He also added that Bryant was a Tennessee Department of Corrections inmate who was housed in Hardeman County and said that Bryant was in prison on a parole violation (theft) which violated his parole on an earlier attempted murder conviction.

Smith. He then said Smith threatened him and opened the car door to get out. Holcombe then said he remembered hitting Smith in the face and did not see anything in Smith’s hand when he exited the car.

Holcombe was arrested at the Justice Complex for aggravated assault.

Director of Schools Charlie Miskelly declined comment on this case saying, “It’s a legal matter and there’s no comment at this time.”

Dickey declined comment, referring the Independent Appeal to his statement to the police.

Aggravated Assault is listed as a Class C or Class D felony in Tennessee and a conviction on these charges could yield a sentence of 2-15 years in prison.

Holcombe’s phone number was omitted from the arrest report. Internet and telephone book searches failed to yield a phone number for an Eric Holcombe anywhere in McNairy County.

Calls placed to Smith were not returned as of press time.

Burney a police officer. Sowell also stated that he believed that the Mayor and board were undermining his authority. The Mayor said that, under the Town’s Charter, decisions as to firing and suspensions were in the first instance hers, with final appeal to the board.

The board also approved applying for a $500,000 water grant. The grant requires no match from the city.

“We’re not applying for any grants we have to match back,” said Cox. The grant will be used for new water lines and new meters. It will also be used for a new GPS system for reading the meters.

A third action taken by the board was to approve borrowing $25,000 for costs incurred in connecting to the Selmer water system. In order to accomplish this, Sandy Flat Road will be closed for about four hours possibly next week.

Buena Vista Road will also need to be closed for about four or five hours later.

“It’s gonna be a little inconvenient,” said

Cox. Cox and her husband Terrell have given the town an easement on the corner of their property for the connection to the Selmer water system.

“No money changed hands. That is the best place to put it,” Cox said.

The board voted to reduce the speed limit from 30 mph 20 mph on Charnell Street. This road is gravel and cars create a lot of dust when they travel it. Nola Robinson, who lives on this road, has complained to the board in the past about this problem and requested that it be paved. However, Cox said that the town does not have the money to pave the road.

Alderman Lou Perrigo suggested that mounds of gravel be placed on the road in order to create speed bumps.

Finally, the board voted to authorize Perrigo to sign checks. The Mayor, City Recorder Erin Pickle and Vice-Mayor Bob Graham are already authorized to sign checks.

In his statement to the police, Wilson confirmed that the two had gotten into an argument, but disputed the assault. Wilson is claiming that at one point during the argument, his wife had come toward him in an aggressive manner and that he took control of her wrist until she calmed down.

Chief Neal Burks of the Selmer Police Department said that Wilson was placed on administrative leave, following the incident pending a department review of the situation.

“At this moment, we have to decide what we are going to do,” Burks said.

Industrial Board supports reappointment

By Jeff Whitten Head Writer

Members of the Selmer/McNairy County Industrial Development Board have expressed support for the reappointment of the three of their colleagues that are up for reappointment this year.

In a letter addressed to McNairy County Commissioners, members of the board expressed support for the reappointment of Harry Smith, Robert Shackelford and Carol Ann Woods for a full sixyear term.

Chairman Maurice Hamm, Secretary Gayle Brooks, Dr. Shawn Pitts, and Jim Stackhouse signed the letter.

Smith is the Vice-Chairman of the

group.

“Our signatures are hereby affixed to demonstrate our unanimous support for the entire slate of candidates, and to dispel any rumors of division among our Board as to the re-appointment of any or all of these individuals,” the letter stated.

“Each one has been an outstanding member of the board and has represented the best interests of Selmer and McNairy County for the past six years. Professional outside sources, that work with local Industrial Development Boards, have been very complimentary of the existing Board, their professionalism and aggressive approach to creating jobs in a difficult economic environment,” the letter continued.

The commission is expected to vote upon the three commissioners at its Feb. 13 meeting.

The Selmer Board of Aldermen tabled a vote on the reappointments at its Jan. 10 meeting.

The purpose of this board is to promote industrial development and to provide additional job opportunities in the Selmer and McNairy County.

The organization’s bylaws require a seven-member board of directors, who reside and are qualified to vote in Selmer.

They serve without compensation for six-year terms.

For a full transcript of the letter, see 7A.

The results of the Florida primary suggest two things. One is that negative political advertisements work. The second is that throwing money at an election can work.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won an overwhelming 46 to 32 percent victory over former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, after Romney and his super PAC, Restore our Future outspent the Gingrich campaign and his super PAC, Winning the Future $15.5 million to $3.3 million.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum was third with 13 percent and Rep. Ron Paul came in fourth with 7 percent.

According to the exit polls, Romney won women by 52-28 percent over Gingrich and Hispanics, who made up 14 percent of the electorate, by a margin of 54 to 29 percent.

Although Gingrich won the third of the electorate that described themselves as very conservative by 41-30 over Romney, the former Massachusetts governor won the 36 percent of the electorate that described themselves as somewhat conservative by 52-32 percent over Gingrich. Romney won the moderate to liberal vote, which made up 31 percent of the electorate, by 5920 percent over Gingrich.

Romney defeated Gingrich among voters over 65 by 51 to 34 percent.

Romney won the 47 percent of the electorate that said they were not evangelical Christians by a margin of 54 to 37 percent and narrowly won the evangelical Christian vote by 38 to 37 percent.

Tea Party supporters made up nearly two-thirds of the electorate and Romney won them narrowly over Gingrich by a margin of 41 to 37 percent.

Romney also did well among high-income voters. Among the 31 percent of the electorate that made more than $100,000 Romney defeated Gingrich by a margin of 52 to 30 percent.

The economy was the most important issue among 62 percent of voters.

Romney defeated Gingrich among these voters by 52-30 percent.

The most important candidate quality was the ability to defeat Pres.

Barack Obama. Among the 45 percent of the electorate citing this factor, Romney defeated Gingrich by a margin of 58 to 33 percent.

Only 18 percent cited the debates as the most important factor in deciding their votes. Among these voters, Gingrich narrowly defeated Romney by 40-38 percent.

Among the 32 percent of the electorate of the Catholic faith, Romney won over Gingrich by a 56-30 percent margin.

Florida Republican primary voters were closely divided over who ran the most unfair campaign, with 34 percent saying it was Romney and 33 saying it was Gingrich.

Nearly two-thirds of the voters said they would be satisfied if Romney was the nominee, but only 54 percent would be satisfied if Gingrich were the nominee.

Romney won the Nevada caucuses handily last Saturday, with 50 percent of the vote. Gingrich was second with 21 percent, narrowly defeating Ron Paul, who was third with 19 percent. Santorum only received 10 percent.

Romney also won four years ago.

Romney’s victory was relatively uniform among voting groups, according to the exit polls. Gingrich even lost narrowly among those who strongly support the Tea Party to Romney by 32 to 35 percent.

The most important issue was the economy, mentioned by 53 percent of the voters. Among these voters, Romney defeated Gingrich 58 to 19 percent of the vote.

Four people were arrested on drug charges recently. Two of them were arrested on meth charges last Friday in Michie.

According to an incident report by Inv. Jamie Lowrance of the McNairy County Narcotics Unit, Dana Ray Davison and Stephanie Nicole Farris of 5007 Pleasant Site Rd. were arrested on charges of initiation to manufacture meth, promotion of meth manufacture, possession of drug paraphernalia and simple possession or casual exchange.

Lowrance and Asst. Police Chief Kim Holley went to a residence to speak with Farris about purchases of pseudoephedrine she made last Wednesday.

The residence was owned by Faye Farris, who gave Lowrance permission to search the premises. Lowrance went into the bedroom shared by Farris and her boyfriend Davison.

Meek, “we even have old lawnmowers – anything old will qualify.”

Some of the antiques are restored and some are not. The club does several shows/parades yearly. Christmas parades and fundraisers are a specialty.

There is a lot of green and yellow John Deeres. Some members have Fords, Allis Chalmers, etc.

Meeks has a 1953 Jubilee Ford and a John Deere 530 (1960 model).

“My John Deere is one of the last thee

shipped to Memphis. It was made 30 th from the last one.

The Jubilee was bought by John D. Moore at Pebble Hill and passed down.

“Even I am a member of that family. My Jubilee was bought new at Ralph Barker Implement Company.” said Meek.

According to Meek, the club is open to anyone who loves old stuff. They will be announcing various shows this year.

Lindsey Vincent’s tractor is a 1951 B - John Deere purchased in September, 2010.

This is a “styled” tractor manufactured at Dubuque, Iowa. These 1-row tractors were used in general farming. The B-John Deere is an electric start tractor and is ideal to take grandkids riding on. These tractors were used as a “belt power source” for feed mills, cut off saws, hay balers and saw mills which were often used on local farms. This is known as a “Poppin’ Johnnie” tractor because of the sound made by the engines.

Remember your Sweetheart!

Independent Appeal v Page 9A

If you are blessed you will meet people in your life who for one reason or another is a true inspiration to you. Such is the case with me when I met Mrs. Carol Bartlett. Mrs Carol Bridger was a member of Memphis White Station High School class of 1960. On June 30, 1961 she married the love of her life Mr. George P. Bartlett. What happen next would be the reason for most of us just to quit and spend the rest of our life feeling sorry for ourselves. Mrs Carol and Mr. George were involved in a accident in October 1991. Mr. George only received minor injuries, but Mrs. Carol was left paralyzed. The doctor's gave up after the first week but not the Bartlett's. After the accident, Mrs. Carol spent the next two months in Baptist Hospital in Memphis and two more months in rehabilitation. Mr. George retired from his job with the City of Memphis to care for his wife. In the late 1970’s, Mr. George was recruited by the Memphis Police Department Radio Repair and Communications Department for his electronics genius.

They built a new home on land they own near Ramer.

With a strong combination of faith and determination they decided to be hard of hearing

to what the doctors were saying. Mrs. Carol regained use of her arms and other muscles in her upper body. So Mr. George built a handicapped accessible home into a hillside looking out over a woodland meadow.

The back of the home is nearly all windows with a bay window in the kitchen so that Mrs. Carol could see out in all directions and enjoy nature. She also enjoyed deer hunting so Mr. George made a way for this to happen also. He bought a four wheeled, all-terrain vehicle and modified it so his wife could still enjoy hunting.

Mrs. Carol loves anything that has to do with nature.

Her home has numerous bird feeders for Hummingbirds. I am sure these little birds know where they are welcome. In the afternoon she loves to go visit her pet chickens. She is an avid gardener. After she could no longer work in the garden, she worked diligently planning the garden each year with Mr. George . She also enjoyed cooking and creating her own recipes using ingredients from her garden. In the summer, she stayed busy putting up vegetables from the garden for use all thru the year.

She was also very active with volunteer work with the Memphis area Ham Radio community. She has a special passion for ice skating. Her love for skating came from a passion she shared with

Carol Bartlett

George. They use to danced on skates as a couple for years and shared their love of skating with their first-born, purchasing a tiny pair of skates for her when she was two years old.

The story doesn't end here, Mrs. Carol lost the love of her life and her caregiver when Mr. George was killed in a tragic accident . Mrs. Carol at this time came to live in our home.

Today she faces a lot of hard battles, but she always seems to face them with a smile.

Life has not been easy for her especially since she lost Mr. George, but she is such a encouragment to me and many others.

She has two daughters, Andrea McIntosh, who is a homemaker in Horn Lake, MS and Kathy Parham, who retired from Biotech Research

and Development and moved with her family to Ramer to be with her parents. She is also the proud grandmother to five grandchildren. Sean, who is serving his country with the U.S. Navy in Pensacola, Fl. Zach is studing civilian aviation in Kansas State University, and three school-age granddaughters, Julie, Jamie and Kayley.

So, my friend, on those days when you are tempted to have yourself a pity party come and visit Mrs. Carol. You will leave with a new determation to face whatever obstacle in your life.

God never promised us an easy life. He will however, always make a way for us. Thank you Mrs. Carol for a great story on encouragment and determation.

Until next time.

Independent Appeal v Page 11A

Mentors and foster parents needed in McNairy County area Youth Villages is looking for caring people in the McNairy County area to become mentors and foster parents to children in need.

Mentors serve as positive role models to children in Youth Villages’ care, who may be dealing with emotional, behavioral and mental health issues. Many children lack a positive adult figure in their lives and can benefit greatly from one-on-one time spent with a mentor.

Dream seasons end for County Champs

Wilburn Gene Ashe holds a plaque and a gift certificate as he is gathered around by his family and recognized on behalf of McNairy Central High School for his 54 years of dedicated service to the athletic program. Athletic Director Danny Day and Lady Bobcat Coach Jerry Lott presented Ashe his award. Ashe was score keeper at Selmer High School and McNairy Central High School for over five decades. Cindy Droke read a poem in honor of her father. “From Selmer High School to MCHS, you’ve kept the score for many of the best. Blowouts, nail-biters, overtimes...You’ve seen them all so many of times. Coaches, referees, and so many fans. Oh, the stories you can tell that you’ve heard from the stands. Your support, your knowledge, your love of the game...Will always be known when we speak your name. In 54 years a lot has changed...From uniforms to coaches, even the style of the game. But out of all, this my fondest memory is that you were able to be there and get to watch me.”

The T-N-T State Tournament held in Springfield, Tenn. was not a dynamite experience for County Champions Michie and Bethel Springs last Saturday. The Michie Lady Blue Devils, who were riding an 18-game winning streak, and the Bethel Springs Rebels, who ran their county schedule unblemished at 10-0, both saw their dream seasons come to an end at the hands of Ezell-Harding Christian School in the 2A bracket. No matter how they finished at state, their seasons will be remembered in McNairy County forever.

Ezell-Harding- 37 Rebels- 27

Last Saturday night, the Bethel Rebels began round

two of the TNT State Tournament against the Ezell-Harding Christian School Eagles of Antioch, Tenn after receiving a bye in the first.

Quickly the Rebels realized the level of competition at state after being down by two points in the first quarter. By the half, the Eagles had gained an 11-point lead.

Bethel outscored EzellHarding in the fourth quarter by two baskets, but they were unable to pull off the comeback win before time expired as they fell 37-27.

The loss marks the end of an amazing run by the Bethel Rebels. It was a season of firsts. For the first time, they were undefeated in the county, and for the first time, they won the county championship.

Bobcats ranked fourth in tight district

By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

The McNairy Central Bobcats have proven they are able to compete and win in the an extremely competitive District 14-AA. In Friday night’s final regular season home game, the Bobcats hosted No. 2 Liberty Tech Crusaders and losing 76-67. Earlier in the week, the Bobcats hosted Lexington and crushed the Tigers 71-46.

Liberty- 76 Bobcats- 67

After an even scoring first quarter against the Crusaders, the Bobcats fought to gain the lead at the half. The MCHS crowd was roaring at the chance to defeat the ranked team on Senior Night.

“We got down 18-3 early before ending the first quarter on a 17-2 run,” said Bobcat Coach Steve Forsythe, “and then we played really well in the second quarter as well to build an eight point lead at the half.”

The game made a quick turnaround after the boys came out of the locker room.

“The second half was a completely different game as we came out flat and with no intensity,” said Forsythe, “and they went on a 17-0 run to start the third quarter and then a 10-0 run to start the fourth.”

McNairy Central did well at the free-throw line, shooting 77 percent. Rameil Pollard recorded a double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds.

What hurt MCHS, according to Forsythe, was that the team had a total of 30 turnovers, which gave Liberty the chance to make their runs.

“We turned the ball over 11 times in the third quarter alone, and you can’t do that and expect to beat a quality opponent,” said Forsythe.

After the loss, the Bobcats are seeded fourth in District 14-AA and will play Fayette-Ware in the first round of the district tournament on Thursday, Feb. 16.

“If we can put 4 quarters together we can beat the top teams in this district, we just have to believe that we can,” said Forsythe.

The tournament has changed this year.

The first and second place teams will host two games.

The final regular season game was played at Bolivar after press time. The winner will determine where the first district round will be played.

If MCHS defeats Bolivar, they will move on to district play against Fayette Ware at Liberty.

If the game is lost, the host of the game will be decided on Friday after a coin toss.

Gaining two more district wins last week and moving to 13-0 in District 14-AA, the McNairy Central Lady Bobcats have earned the number one seed in tournament play.

The drive from this MCHS team has kept them with a winning record as the Lady Cats have strung together 22 wins in their last 23 games.

They are also the No. 10 ranked team in Class AA.

*$3,000 For Your Clunker Josh

By Amanda Lowrance

After the New Years holiday, MCHS squeezed in a three-point win over the Lexington Tigers.

Last week, the Bobcats gained a 25-point district win at home.

“I really like the way we are playing...right or not, heading into the end of the season and tournament,” said Forsythe. “The second and third quarters our defense stepped up and played well. We were finally able to get a team down and put them away. The guys played really hard tonight and we shot the ball well in all phases of the game.”

Spectators were thrilled with the comebacks, put backs, and dunking abilities of the Bobcat players and were glad to see the bench revived for a varsity game.

McNairy had thirty-one team rebounds led

by Senior Cal Chappell with nine.

Rough road stretch for Lady Cards

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

Coming off two big wins over Madison and Corinth, Adamsville hit the road for four straight away games, but the first three were not pretty as the short-handed Lady Cardinals fell to three teams over which they had previously been victorious.

Wayne Co.- 75 Lady Cardinals- 34

In one of their worst outings of the year, the Adamsville Lady Cardinals were laid to waste by the Wayne County Lady Wildcats, 75-34.

The 41-point blowout was dealt to the Lady Cards by a team they had beaten by eight earlier in the season. It also had Adamsville head coach Todd McGee questioning how much gas his team has left in the tank.

“We would’ve finished third in an inter-squad game,” said McGee. “We’re not getting after it like we did earlier in the year. Our heart wasn’t in it.”

Adamsville shot a dismal 23 percent from the field. The Lady Cards did shoot 70 percent from the free-throw line, but six of those shots were made in the final quarter when AHS was already trailing by a substantial margin.

“We started really cold in the first quarter, going one for 11,” McGee said, “They (WCHS) were on fire and came out hitting five of their first six shots.”

That trend continued for Adamsville throughout the contest.

The Lady Wildcats took a commanding 21-4 lead after one quarter, but by halftime the Lady Cardinals had cut WCHS’s lead to 14.

According to McGee, AHS came out of the locker room much like they did before the first quarter, ice cold. Adamsville hit only four of 14 shots in the period.

By the end of the third, the Lady Cards were staring at a 59-28 deficit, and in the fourth, things only got worse as they were outscored 16-6.

Adamsville (14-8, 5-5) limped into their game against Sacred Heart last Tuesday, hoping to get a win but would have to do so without Brianne Knight, who was still sidelined with a foot injury.

tality. You’ve gotta have a mentality that you are going to be a rebounder before you can ever rebound.”

Down 22-17 at the break, things only got worse for AHS as Scotts Hill increased their advantage to eight by the end of the third and outscored the Lady Cards 15-5 in the final quarter of play.

Senior Macayla Kiddy and Junior Keantinez Lloyd led the Lady Cardinals in scoring with 12 points apiece.

Adamsville played the game without Simone Wilson and leading scorer, Brianne Knight. At the end of the contest, AHS’s third leading scorer, Nikki White, went down in pain, clutching her ankle. White missed seven games earlier in the season with an ankle injury and her return to the lineup before the district tournament is questionable, according to McGee. Winning their last two district games against Sacred Heart and Trinity Christian would solidify Adamsville’s third place position in District 15-A and would mean the Lady Cards would host a home game in the tournament. It would also give them a few extra days of much needed rest to get over their injury bug, according to McGee. Girls’ Box Score

Scotts Hill- 55 Lady Cardinals- 43

Rebounding is where the Lady Cardinals came up short in their 12-point loss to the Lady Lions in Scotts Hill last Friday night.

“It doesn’t matter who’s out there,” said AHS head coach Todd McGee. “If you don’t go out there and try and rebound...they aren’t going to let us have it.”

Scotts Hill pulled down 39 total rebounds, 23 of which were offensive, giving the Lady Lions plenty of second chance scoring opportunities from point-blank range. AHS recorded only 28 rebounds, most of which came in the second half.

“I talked to them about heart,” said McGee. “Before you can rebound with your hands, you have to have it in your heart. Some people have a scoring mentality, some people have an assist men-

Riverside- 61 Lady Cardinals- 58

After beating the Lady Panthers in a double-overtime thriller on Jan. 6, Lady Cardinal head coach Todd McGee expected a tight game at Riverside High School Jan. 31, but he did not expect having to dip so far into his bench before taking the loss in an important district matchup.

Foul trouble and injuries plagued Adamsville in their threepoint loss to Riverside, forcing McGee to call on girls that usually do not get a lot of minutes.

“Ralanda (Lloyd) got hurt in the second half, (Macayla) Kiddy was in foul trouble in the second half, and Bri (Knight) was hobbling around with her foot in the second half,” said McGee. Despite all the second half problems for the Lady Cardinals, McGee felt the game was lost earlier than that.

“We started out flat,” McGee said. “As much as anything else, we lost the game in the first half. We should’ve had a lead going into the second half, which we did not. Then we ended up getting all that other stuff, which put us in a tough position to try to battle back and win.”

Adamsville ended the first half down three to Riverside, 28-25.

In the third and fourth quarters, the Lady Cards battled blow for blow with the Lady Panthers but could not pull ahead and take the lead late.

“We played a lot of people that really hadn’t played that many minutes, and I thought they did a good job just to keep us in the game,” said McGee. “If they would’ve came in and stunk it up, we would’ve gotten blown out. They were able to go out there and compete and gave us a chance to comeback.”

Juniors Taylor Hutton, Anna Shelton and Bailey Wicker, sophomore Anna Johnson, and freshman Alli Pettit saw significant minutes and carried the second half weight for AHS in the loss.

Kiddy fouled out before the contest was over but not before scoring a game-high 18 points. Nikki White, the lone remaining senior on the court for AHS late in the game, finished with three 3-pointers and sank seven free-throws, ending her night with 16 points.

Maintaining positive sports for youth

By Amanda Lowrance Head Sports Writer

Role model athletes on the high school level do not always realize that their every move is being watched and imitated.

High school athletes are more concerned with competition, college scouts, or avoiding embarrassing mistakes.

Professional players hope to have youngsters wearing their jerseys, following every game, and mimicking their moves. As a matter of fact, many of the profesAmanda Lowrance sional athletes started out on the sideline as kids.

The six-year-old cheerleader dressed in a miniature matching uniform, cheering along with every cheer, or the little referee, who modeled after an official and wore stripes and a whistle to the games and counted off the players as they dribbled across the timeline, or the youngsters who gather to mock the football players during halftime by throwing passes and making plays on the sidelines.

Even the younger, possibly future athletes that sit quietly and respectfully on the bench have found a role model in a coach, player, referee, manager, or other team member.

These protégés are as excited as the players when an athlete dunks, scores a touchdown or a goal, or if a batter hits home run.

At every sporting event, if you’re watching, these little guys can be found cheering and having fun outside the game.

The problem is one wrong move could discourage a child away from sports completely. Will children ever look up to Michael Vick just as they looked up to Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, or Muhammad Ali? Drugs, illegal activities, and bad behaviors are not of interest to children or the public for that matter.

So it’s important for all team members to remember and recognize the small, deputy athletes and carry a positive behavior and attitude.

While it may not always be visible, it’s there. That’s why it is important for all team members to control tempers and be positive, show sportsmanship, and motivate players to do the same.

Cards pick up win, lose two more

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer

The Cardinals managed to pick up a district win last Friday, which moved them ahead of Scotts Hill for fifth place in the district, but losses against Wayne County and Riverside

still have Adamsville reeling down the final stretch of the season.

Wayne Co.- 55 Cardinals- 37

Junior Brandon White scored a season-high 10 points for Adamsville last Monday night at

Wayne County High School, but it was not enough for the Cardinals to beat the Wildcats.

The 18-point loss came as a surprise to Cardinal fans and coaches after falling by only six to WCHS earlier in the season.

“They outplayed us,” said head coach Nathaniel Root.

“Beat us to every 50-50 ball, and they ran their stuff better than we ran ours.”

AHS was down 26-19 at halftime but saw the Wildcat lead grow to 10 by the end of the third quarter. In the fourth, the Cardinals were outscored 15-7 as Wayne County sent Adamsville home with a 55-37 loss.

Adamsville (3-19, 3-7) looked to bounce back and pick up their fourth district win when they traveled to Sacred Heart in Jackson, Tenn. to face the Knights last Tuesday.

Cardinals- 42 Scotts Hill- 35

In most games, scoring only 11 points by halftime will spell disaster. This was not the case for Adamsville when the Cardinals traveled to Scotts Hill last Friday night.

AHS overcame shooting four for 23 (17 percent) from the field in the first half to get their third win of the season with a sevenpoint victory over the Lions.

“Both teams were struggling offensively,” said Cardinal

coach Nathaniel Root. “It was a chess match in the first half with defense...I gotta credit our defense tonight. If we don’t guard the way we guard then we don’t win this game.”

At the halfway point, Adamsville led by three, 11-8. The Cardinals woke up in the third quarter and doubled their first half scoring output halfway through the period and took a 27-15 lead into the fourth.

The Lions made a late comeback with a 10-3 run that cut the Cards’ lead to five to start the final quarter, but Adamsville was able to ward off the Lions’ sudden offensive onslaught to secure the victory.

“I’m proud of our guys for not folding,” said Root. “We stepped up. When (Scotts Hill) made their run we stepped, stopped them and put the game away.”

ended up having to foul, and they stepped up to the line and made free throws, and we couldn’t come down and make shots,” said AHS head coach Nathaniel Root. “You can’t let a team like that hang around with you.”

Root said that when you let teams you can beat hang around, stuff like that happens.

He also said that certain negative plays and calls made during the game would not have mattered had his team put the Panthers away when they had the opportunity.

“Lesson learned,” said Root.

“When you have the ability to put a team away, especially when you’ve beat this team once already, you gotta take advantage of that and go do it.”

One bright spot for the Cardinals was the play of Tucker Campbell. The freshman finished the game with a careerhigh 22 points against the Pan-

thers.

“The kid wants to be good.

He’s got a fire. He’s got a hunger, and he works on his individual game,” said Root. “That’s the only way you become better... you don’t get better in the two to three hours you practice with your team from November to March. You’ve gotta spend extra time, even in the season, and that’s all this kid does is work on his game.”

For the first time this season, Michie was

outmatched by an opponent. The Ezell-Harding Lady Eagles managed an 11-point victory over Lady Blue Devils, giving them their first loss of the season and sending them home after just one game in the state tournament.

“I’m so proud of the hard work and dedication of the players all season,” said Michie head coach Andrea Whitten. “It’s an awesome accomplishment to have a regular season record of 18-0. Looking forward to watching 8th graders excel in high school.”

Margie Coleman led Michie with 15 points while Robin Moore and Lauren Rhodes chipped in with four and two.

Michie had a slow start and trailed by four going into the second quarter, but by halftime the Lady Eagles’ lead had grown to 14-5. The Lady Blue Devils’ offense got going in the second half, but outscoring Ezell Harding 8-5 in the final quarter after being down 27-13 at its beginning was not enough to overcome the Lady Eagle lead.

Despite the early exit from the state tournament, Michie’s season was a memorable one and one the Lady Blue Devils can hold onto forever.

By Andrew Alexander Sports Writer When most people think of the basketball game H-O-R-S-E they envision children running around, throwing up crazy and creative shots, trying to give their competitors a letter.

For several local, retired senior citizens, the game is a way to stay active, healthy and sociable in their twilight years.

Larry Hardin and Aaron Isbell of Selmer and Judy Farrar and Don Wilson of Bethel Springs are regulars at the Selmer Community Center.

“We’re too old to play regular basketball,” said Wilson.

Isbell agreed jokingly saying, “Because we’re too old to run back and forth.”

Despite their age, the group meets most every morning ready and raring to shoot some hoops.

“We just come up to exercise, make our health better and have fun,” said Hardin.

They have been gathering for several years and plan to continue doing so for as long as the good Lord allows it.

“We’ve been playing for a couple years,” said Hardin.

“Just about every day.”

They say it is usually the same core group of players, but occasionally there are more that join the friendly competition.

“We have some that show up every month or so, and

Selmer Classic Cars Highway 45 S. • Selmer, TN • Phone 645-4818

some just straggle in when they’re here,” said Isbell.

There is room for growth, according to the group. They would like to see lots of their peers joining them for some recreational activity in the form of the classic basketball pastime.

“We try to recruit new folks about every time we come in here,” Wilson said.

The group would love to see both ends of the basketball court full of seniors staying active.

While the group that plays is mostly made up of men, Farrar would love to have enough women join them to start a women’s team.

While the games are just for fun, the group says it can get competitive at times.

“We’re all good Christians,” said Hardin. “We always shake hands (afterward). We aggravate each other and kid each other, but it’s all in good fun.”

Hardin is usually the winner, according to Wilson, who works part-time at the center.

“He cheats a lot,” Wilson said with a smile on his face.

“Sometimes we try to tie one of his arms behind his back.”

Friday is the most competitive day, according to Isbell.

“When Friday gets here it gets nasty,” he said. “It’s the last day of the week and we’ve gotta take at least one game from (Hardin).”

The retirees meet at 9 a.m. for their games, but the shootaround is not their only means of staying fit.

Hardin says he is at the center each morning and walks before their games begin. Isbell is also active before the games get going. He walks a mile on his treadmill at his home before heading to the center for H-OR-S-E. Members of the group also use the weight room facilities to stay in shape.

The players are all grateful for the opportunity to stay active and for the facilities that have been made available for them to do so. They’re especially thankful for Sybil Dancer, “We think people should take advantage of it,” said Hardin. “We thank (Dancer) because at times people have come in to set up stuff, and she would say, ‘y’all can’t set up ‘til 10 o’clock when these guys get through playing,’ so you know we appreciate her.”

Dancer says she loves having the seniors around and thinks it is import for them to stay active to benefit their quality of life.

“We provide (seniors) a safe, friendly and fun atmosphere,” said Dancer. “I enjoy being here for them and having them around. We encourage all seniors to come out and enjoy our facilities and stay involved.”

A Family Business to a Senior Project

There are several opportunities at MCHS to be in clubs and organizations. However, these opportunities would not be open if not for the teachers that dedicate their time to the clubs.

Cheryl Hurley is the sponsor of FBLA, or Future Business Leaders of America. When asked what her club does she said FBLA, “provides opportunities for students in business, education, and/or business related fields to develop

University of Memphis Dean’s List The following students were named to the Dean’s List at the University of Memphis for the fall 2011 semester: Charlie R. H Orton, Joshua Tatum and Kelsey L. Volner, all of Selmer; Ashley E. Durham and Dexter Orman, both of Adamsville; Gabrielle D. Atkins and Lindsay Plunk, both of Bethel Springs; Amber S. Vires of Finger; Anna E. Crabb of Michie; and Michael J. Browder of Stantonville.

Students on the list met one of the following criteria for the semester: completion of six to eight graded hours with a semester grade point average of 4.00; completion of nine to 11 graded hours with a minimum GPA of 3.66; or completion of 12 or more graded hours with a semester GPA of 3.5 or above.

helping with the family business, Kennedy’s Auction Service.

Kennedy began helping his father and other men, who he worked for, when he was 10 years old. “When we first started the auction business, I loved it. I would run the food stand and help carry items out of a house that were about to be sold. I loved the thrill of the fast-pace talking it took to be an auctioneer, and being part of the excitement of the crowd when an item went up for bid,” stated Kennedy. Now that Kennedy is older, he has taken on a bigger responsibility in the auction business by catching bids and holding up items before Nick Teague and Josh Kennedy display the crowd before they are sold. an item up for auction.

“At one point, I started to believe I wanted to follow in the family footsteps and become an auctioneer like my dad and brother. Now that I have worked at auctions so much, I really don’t want to be an auctioneer anymore. Auctions take a lot of work that most people don’t realize and sometimes they can last forever,” commented Kennedy.

Although he does not want to continue in the family business, he believes the family business has been a great contribution to his family. “The auction business helps pay for lots of bills and can pay very well if you go about it the right way. Also, you get to see all kinds of cool things,” said Kennedy.

Kennedy believes the best thing about auctions is the events you get to experience. “I love it when there is an item worth around 200 hundred dollars, and two people want that item really bad. Then, they start bidding and don’t stop until one of them finally gives up and realizes they are paying too much money for the item,” exclaimed Kennedy.

Senior, Nick Teague, knows a little about auctions too after he decided to complete it for his senior project. “I chose to do

Lisa Chandler and Stephanie Rozier are the sponsors of the Spanish National Honor Society, Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica.

Spanish National Honor Society provides free spanish tutoring on Mondays thru Thursdays at 7:15 in the morning and at 3:15 in the afternoons. The purpose is also to recognize high achievements of the students in the Spanish language and to promote a continuing interest in Spanish studies. Spanish National Honor Society members participate in National Educator’s week as well as homecoming decora-

tions, certain community events, and freshman orientation. To join this club you must have an A average in Spanish I and Spanish II combined. Ms. Rozier sponsors this club because she loves the Spanish language and wants everyone else to share her love. Her favorite part about sponsoring this club is being around students who enjoy spanish and having conversations together. Mrs. Chandler sponsors this club because she thinks, “…it is very important to have such a club for those students who excel and wish to further their knowledge in the content area…” Her favorite part is getting to know the students

Senior Nick Teague works the crowd at an auction. auctions for my senior project after working with Kennedy’s Auction Service. I have attended several auctions, and I love the thrill it provides,” said Teague.

So far, his senior project is going well, but he does find it very tiring. “While working on my senior project, I have really been opened up to the long hours and hard work it takes to put an auction together. It has really made me appreciate the auction busi-

ness,” stated Teague. He thinks that the senior project is a great way to end a senior year. “ By completing the senior project, I have certainly learned a plethora of goods that I could invest in for profit. I think I can continue to somewhat use the skills I have been taught even after high school,” ended Teague.

outside the classroom. Both of their favorite events is the induction ceremony, and they both think the students favorite part is speaking spanish.

SGA has three sponsors. Jan Williams, Sarah Allison, and Molly Durrance are the three sponsors. Mrs. Williams is the main sponsor of SGA. Her favorite part about sponoring this club is decorating for Mistletoe Ball.

She said she sponsors this club because, “I love the activities and working with so many great kids.” Her least favorite part is ordering things for Mistletoe Ball. Sarah Allison is the cosponsor of SGA. SGA decorates for the annual Mistletoe

Ball. SGA members help during Parent/Teacher Conferences and host the Freshman Orientation.

Any students interested in joining must have a petition signed by their class and run in elections. Mrs. Allison sponsors this club because she likes working with students on the activities.

She says, “It’s nice to take a break and interact with students other than in just the classroom setting.” Her favorite part about co-sponsoring is seeing the students take pride in their work. Everyone’s favorite part, sponsors and students alike, is Mistletoe Ball.
