McNairy County looks to hire new economic development director

Bethel hires Damien Blue as new officer

By Janet Rail & Jeff Whitten IA Staff

McNairy County will hire a new economic development director with the help of the Next Move Group with dual offices in St. Louis and New Orleans.

“We interviewed three firms, two in person and one long distance. I am on the selection committee and felt like this group resonated with us. Not only are they proficient with finding the right person, but they can work with us in recruiting prospective clients,” said Robert Shackelford, Industrial Board Chairman.

The guiding principle of the firm is creating jobs. Chad Chancellor, of New Orleans, has over ten years of successful economic development in four states and founded the company that strives to create opportunities for people to have good jobs close to home.

Chancellor grew up in a singleparent home, not because his parents were divorced, but because his father left to do construction work during the week to return home on Fridays. “Every decision we make, every project we undertake, must pass our “Will It Help Create Jobs” litmus test. If we can create jobs we will do it, no matter the project,” said Chancellor.

Alex Metzger, President, of St. Louis, has five years of experience.

“Our core business is site selection for corporate clients. We offer services to develop targeted business plans for communities and target businesses they need to recruit. Executive searches, as we are doing here, are also a focus of our firm,” said Metzger.

“We believe that economic development is a profession and we want to find real professionals to fill this job. Credentials vary from town to town, but we look for the best fit for each community. Here everyone seems to be positive and on the same page and have a similar way of thinking – they are focused on jobs. Believe it or not, some communities are not focused on jobs.”

They had a two hour tour of the community. “Every community has a spec building but not every community has a 700,000 square foot building so you are not competing with many others out there,” said Metzger, referring to the old Masco Bath building.

“You don’t find buildings like that sitting around empty. We saw buildings that were 20,000 feet to 700,000 feet and were made aware of a 200,000 square foot building in Bethel Springs this morning. There is no reason the county cannot land some jobs while working on its next industrial park,” said Chancellor.

The group met with over 90 local leaders, business owners, and industry leaders earlier this week to gather information and get a feel for what type of candidate will best fit Mc-

The Town of Bethel Springs has voted to restore their police department with the hire of a new officer at last Monday’s monthly meeting.

After a short period of discussion, the board voted to hire Damien Blue, a former Tennessee Highway Patrolman, TBI agent and Bradford, Tenn. Chief of Police, as the town’s new officer.

Bethel Mayor Gary Bizzell Jr. said that the town needs police because the town is too large to rely solely on the sheriff’s department for coverage.

“I’m really worried what is going to happen when we fix...Main Street,” Bizzell said.

“Now we have people going 70 miles per hour down that road. When it is fixed, I’m worried that it will become the Autobahn.”

The board looked at making another hire at the meeting for their open position of secretary. However, Bizzell suggested tabling the motion to hire Michelle Thompson at the meeting, but said that he would use his power as mayor to make a temporary hire this month and then allow the board to consider her hire in September.

In other news, the board voted to amend the previous month’s minutes to reflect a portion of the minutes discussing Sherry Smith’s absence from the last meeting.

The minutes said that she missed the meeting because of illness, but she said that she was not sick and wanted an amendment to reflect what Bizzell said.

In the town’s sewer report, the town announced that they had to fix a lift pump at a cost of $12,386. Bizzell said that was a hit to the sewer budget, especially because the town is now down to just six replacement

Bethel has chosen Officer Damien Blue to man their newly reformed department. sewer pumps.

“Get out your bubble gum and paper clips and get ready to Macgyver it out...at least until we get through the winter,” Bizzell said jokingly to the town’s water department staff.

The town also made two large expenditures at the meeting. The first dealt with the renovations to the town’s water tank. The board voted to accept a bid from American Tank Maintenance to renovate the tank at a cost of $18,000 per year for six years.

The town also accepted a bid for $104,000 from Arrow Paving for milling Main Street.

The town also said that they notified

the state comptroller’s office and are still working on their annual budget and Bizzell said that they hoped to have it finished soon.

The board also announced that the community center events such as live music, wrestling and a magic show have been well attended, but more volunteers were needed to staff the events. Bizzell also announced the need for additional volunteers to help with yard clean-up for elderly residents. He said that recently more than 40 volunteers, mostly from First Baptist in Bethel came out and did clean-up. He also urged residents who need this service to contact city hall for help.

McNairy First partnered with the City of Selmer to hold a Meet & Greet event last Friday night downtown. The event helped bring attention to the state’s Tax Free Holiday last weekend.

Residents who turned out for the two-hour event were presented with a plethora of shopping options while being entertained by music from the Dog Creek Band. McNairy First is a county-wide organization which strives to showcase the best of what McNairy County has to offer. Visit McNairy First on Facebook for a calendar of upcoming events.

Next up, the two organizations will host a pep rally downtown on Sept. 3.

Milledgeville considers lease to proposed Tri-County Saddle Club

By Janet Rail Publisher

The Milledgeville board is considering leasing their arena to Dennis and Trena Moffett who desire to establish a Tri-County Saddle Club in their city park it will be sanctioned by the Tennessee Saddle Club Association.

Established in 1965, the TSCA is a nonprofit organization that is the home organization for 35 plus member clubs located in Tennessee and Kentucky. The TSCA oversees the rules, regulations and by laws for member clubs to ensure consistent and fair competition. The association is run by officers, directors and committees

who organize meetings and prepare annually for the State Horse Show held Labor Day weekend of each year.

“We currently have between 12-15 children who have made commitments to use this arena. We ran Chesterfield in Lexington and would love to have another club that is within a reasonable distance for children to participate and ride. We would be able to start in 2016 so we can register with TSCA and the state. They have to ride in at least three shows to gain points to go to the state show. We propose five shows on Friday nights as other arenas ride on Saturdays,” said Trena.

The group discussed options on what it would take to get this partnership going.

R ed Hot

“We are very interested but let me do some checking about liability and a PA system and we will get back with you,” said Mayor Dannie Kennedy. For more information www.tennesseesaddleclubs.com.

Kennedy wrote a letter requesting a street light on Frazier Street to Pickwick Electric but no word yet.

An application was submitted for a generator at the Fire Department for the safe room. The public notice comment period ends Aug. 27 and the city expects to hear by the end of the month regarding installation.

The board approved the purchase of a sign for the Fire Department and Safe Room which will be hung this week for

$320 and approved for the parking lot to be stripped by Jeff Redmon Sept. 1.

The board approved the purchase of light bulbs for Christmas lights downtown and two gallons of Roundup form Essary Farms and purchase of a flood light to spotlight the flag at the Ross Building.

“I called Savannah Electric regarding the light out at the four way stop but haven’t heard anything. I believe there is a hold at the end of Ellis Road that needs repair. Also Margie and I were at a meeting and found flooring installed in squares that may be suitable for our safe room. Just food for thought,” said Kennedy.

The board briefly discussed their annual Public Relations supper.

Latta to host featured artists on monthly basis

instead of Iron Maiden.”

James spent his boyhood leading the a cappella singing in the Church of Christ before his family moved out west when he was a teenager.

“My dad was with the county sheriff’s department in Selmer – after Buford died, of course – and my mother taught school nearby in Adamsville,” James recalls. “After we moved to New Mexico, I still came back to Tennessee every summer to stay with my grandparents.”

Now James with his own young family, is once again close to his Southern roots.

To learn more about Carothers’ music and show schedule, please visit www.JamesCarothers.com.

The Latta Gallery will have a featured artist working on sight at the Latta Gallery on a monthly basis to display and create works of arts for the public to visit, beginning next month with local artist Lanessa Miller.

AiM Members Lisa Engle and Shawn Pitts discussed the project. Lisa mentioned a past event called Artisian Trail where artists would volunteer their art studios addresses to be put on a map. Then, people would pick up a map and go visit the artists at their studios and watch them work on their current projects.

Now, they are taking that same concept, but instead of the people doing all the traveling, a featured artist will make the Latta Gallery their new art studio for a month.

So people will just have to travel to one place to see how the artist is working. People will be able to look around the Gallery at the artist’s previous works, talk to the artist, and ask questions about how they arrived at the idea of their presentation.

This new experimental exhibit will help educate the public on high-quality art and will begin in the Latta Gallery in Selmer on September 1st.

The first featured artist is Lanessa Miller and her show is called “The Double Bind Project.” Lanessa said she has always had a talent for art. People have used her skills for book illustrations, portraits, and landscape paintings. “The Double Bind Project” will be the first recent project she has done for herself.

Lanessa made a figure out of pink paper, origami paper, and fishing line. The papers form a mother holding a baby. She titled the piece “Pink Promises” and it will be at the Gallery.

Describing her project, Lanessa said, “I can make

Joe Barker, Southwest Tennessee Development District Executive Director spoke to the McNairy County Commission at its meeting last Monday on the new rural economic development program, Strategic Opportunities to Advance Our Region.

Barker has served as Mayor of Savannah, Mayor of Hardin County and Assistant Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.

SWTDD serves eight West Tennessee counties, assisting them with grants and programs for senior citizens. It is charged with comprehensive planning and promoting economic, community and human resource development.

“West Tennessee is not largely recruited as far as industry goes,” County Mayor Ronnie Brooks said in introducing Barker.

Most industry goes to East and

Nairy County.

“We had several people come in for their interview with a list of items prepared to discuss. I believe the community is excited, have thought this through and want to get behind someone,” said Chancellor.

After a national search, interviews for the position are planned in late September. They hope to make a recommendation for hire in October.

Finalists will meet with local officeholders and utility officials. The selection committee can track the candidates in the recruitment process. They will interview local and national candidates.

“Community support is the biggest thing for this position. The excitement in the community is very good,” said Metzger.

“The new director will be Director of McNairy Regional Alliance. Current Director Ted Moore will retire as soon as a replacement is named. We want this person to be involved in hiring the Chamber Director position recently vacated by Russell Ingle.

“When we met Alex, we felt he was down to Earth and connected with us. We look forward to meeting the candidates they recommend” said Shackelford.

Middle Tennessee, Brooks said.

SOAR involves working with local leadership to evaluate where the counties are with economic development. This program does not cost the county anything. The commission has previously passed a resolution to participate in the program.

“We’re asking you for time,” Barker said.

Participants in the program will need to devote about eight hours over two sessions, Barker said.

This program involves four steps. First, the local leaders attend a presentation on economic development for rural leaders. This would include the county commission, city boards and commissions, and other leaders.

“You make the list,” Barker told the commission.

Second, participants in the first session fill out an assessment on seven aspects of the county.

Third, economic development professionals will look at surveys and make recommendations.

LONGLEWISCORINTH

Fourth, SWTDD will identify the three or four most important things and help county to address these matters. This includes helping the county find funding implement any recommendations.

“You are only limited by your imagination. I know sometimes you are limited by money,” Barker said.

In other news from the meeting, Road Committee Chairman David McCullar said in his report that Standard Construction won the contract for paving 3.5 miles on Rocky Knob Road. The contract will be awarded next month for the New Hope Bridge.

Road Commissioner Harvey Neal Smith told the committee that there were 67 miles of gravel roads in the county, 300 miles of asphalt and 400 miles of chip and seal.

Sheriff Guy Buck and County Fire Chief Darrell Goodrum were renominated to serve on the E-911 board. Their reappointments will be voted on at next month’s meeting.

McNAIRY VOICES

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Confusion, suspicion, and the wheel tax: A response to the article in the Independent Appeal and statements made by County Mayor Ronnie Brooks.

In this article, the citizens were again mislead, given half-truths, and shown the incompetence of our county leaders.

Mr. Brooks said that Rickman merely misspoke when he responded to Jernigan’s question. Budget Committee Chairman Jim Rickman was the person who gave the initial incorrect allocation of the funds collected from the $75 wheel tax, saying $40 will go to school construction, $20 for road construction, and $15 to the general fund. How are the citizens supposed to trust a Budget Committee Chairman that can not even be prepared enough to have correct numbers written down to give when asked questions during commissioners meetings? According to Mayor Brooks, the resolution for the tax was drafted before the first meeting in June.

It contained the same allocations that later came out after the July meeting, that were different than what the people were told by Budget Committee Chairman Jim Rickman. Two months passed without a correction to his misspeaking in the June meeting.

Mayor Brooks states that the allocations are mainly political commitments rather than legal requirements. Basically, he says they can spend the $75 from the wheel tax anyway they want no matter what kind of breakdown they give beforehand to the citizens. So I ask, why were the citizens not told this from the very beginning? Why was the improvement of schools given as one of the reasons, possibly the main reason, for needing the tax, and also told by the Budget Committee Chairman Jim Rickman that more than half of it would go to the schools? Instead of being honest and open with the citizens, Mayor Brooks and the County Commissioners choose to mislead the citizens about where and what the money was going for in order to guilt trip everyone into letting it pass by saying most of it is for the “kids.”

In last week’s account of the wheel tax history related to the Justice Center, I feel that the article only gives half the truth. It seems like the Tennessee General Assembly forced the wheel tax on the citizens, after they had voted it down in a referendum. What he fails to mention is the other facts involved with the passing of the wheel tax. The article fails to mention the fact that Houston Thrasher and county officials went to Nashville and lobbied the General Assembly to force the wheel tax to be imposed on the citizens. Also, the main argument for needing the wheel tax to pay for such a big, expensive justice center was to give us the ability to house federal prisoners. By housing these federal prisoners, the county leaders said there would be a lot of revenue generated to be used by the county. No one told the citizens that not long after the justice center was built, that it was decertified and no longer allowed to house federal prisoners. In one single action, our county leaders defied the will of the people, wasted millions of dollars, and failed to produce the promised revenue for the county.

Which level of government do you trust the most: local, state or federal?

Thomas Foster (Ramer):

Tammie Kiddy (Selmer):

“I have no trust in any of them, not the local or the U.S... or any other.”

“Neither of them. None.

Just look how it’s going. It’s not getting any better. The jobs (market) is not.

You’re lucky if you can find one.”

R. A. Johnson (Purdy): “I have to trust the local more because we have more input in it.”

Ilene Trulock (Selmer):

Billee Lamb (Hornsby):

“I don’t trust any of them.”

“I trust the local government more than the federal...I think politics has gotten too big...I like the hometown level.

I moved out of a big area and came up here because it’s

more comfortable.”

Pete Moditz (Selmer): “Neither.”

DOODLES

Tommy Parmely Selmer

Teachers help students realize anything is possible As we begin a new journey in the school year, I wanted to offer a special thank you to all McNairy County teachers, aids, office personnel, coaches, dietary staff, janitors and bus drivers.

Too often, these positions are unnoticed. No matter what school you work at, you are to be commended for the job you do. It takes a special person to fill these positions and you are the ones who have stepped up to the plate, so to speak, and taken charge.

You are the ones that come in earlier in the summer to get your classrooms ready. You are the ones who stay up late grading papers. You are the ones giving hope to so many students. You are the ones in a lot of cases shaping their personality and thoughts. You are the ones consistently patient with students.

You are the ones that help open the eyes of young students and show them what they can be. You are the ones that help students realize that anything is possible.

The list goes on and on, but it is actually amazing at how much impact each of you imprint into the students of our great school system.

Everyone, at some point in their adult life, can look back and tell you story after story about teachers that influenced their lives. It has to be a humbling experience as a teacher to face so many challenges year after year.

These students are the future of our county. I am so thankful of the education my two kids have received right here in McNairy County.

Each of you represent the community in a special way and should be thanked more often. Students in our school system have the best of the best and I want to let you know how proud I am of every teacher and employee for all that you do for the children.

I know I am not alone as many share the same pride in our school system and wish all a great year.

May you inspire others to achieve and believe that, with hard work, anything is possible.

Thank you again, Selmer Mayor John Smith

In Loving Memory of

August 13, 1998

The beating on the window That early August morn The ringing of the telephone Daddy’s words still echo ... Mama’s gone.

The tears we shed were many As friends and family gathered round; We watch them lay you in the cold, dark ground Our lives forever turned upside down.

The laughter that our family shared Has for 17 years been gone Our hearts were broken, we felt alone When God said to our Mama, My child, welcome Home.

The memories of your smiling face The way you held me close; I miss you more each passing day So til we meet again, I love you, is all that I can say.

Locals represent state well as Team Tennessee

Submitted Photos

Adamsville’s Dixie Youth 11/12 Year Old All-Star Team had an eventful trip to South Carolina for the 2015 World Series title.

After two hard played games, injuries and a scare with an elevator - the team enjoyed their trip and represented the state well.

By Christen Coulon Managing Editor

Last weekend, the Adamsville Dixie Youth 11/12 YearOld All-Star Team traveled to Lexington S.C. to compete in the league’s World Series after becoming the first team from Adamsville to claim a Dixie Youth state title Head Coach Barry Kiddy, and Assistant Coaches Stacy Jaggers and Junior Sweat led Team Tennessee to Lexington, S.C. where they faced-off against South Carolina in Game 1 last Saturday.

The team lost to a very tough Team South Carolina in the first game 29-0.

The team then fell to Team Lexington (South Carolina) 21-8 in a hard fought game.

One of the team member’s parents who reported on the tournament for the Independent Appeal said everyone was very proud of the team’s achievements and the score in the second game did not paint an accurate picture of the team’s efforts saying, “This is a once in a lifetime experience for these children, it is something that they will never forget.”

She said that the team had taken the lead early on

in the game with one of the team’s Ace Pitchers Braden Kiddy on the mound. However, Kiddy was knocked out of the game after being struck by a line drive. He was not seriously injured but the team could never get back in the game after losing Kiddy.

The kids said that they all had a great time and they wished to thank all of the businesses and individuals who supported the team’s journey. “We really appreciate the people of McNairy County, this would not have been possible without their support,” the team members said.

During the opening ceremonies, people filled the Lexington County stadium (home of the Blowfish) and listened to Former MLB Player Landon Powell and then watched fireworks.

Some of the team’s members also had some reported drama off the field as well after getting stuck on an elevator for 2 1/2 hours local fire and rescue and EMS had to be called to get them out.

The Independent Appeal, its staff and our publisher would like to congratulate our local State Champion Dixie Youth team from Adamsville (a.k.a. Team Tennessee) for their achievements this season.

All-District defensive player Jeremy Harris takes a hard hit

By Kiley Williams Staff Writer

Last Tuesday night, Aug. 4 at a scrimmage game with McKenzie, one of McNairy Central High School’s most valuable defensive players was badly injured; Jeremy Harris was down.

Harris did not leave the field by his own means, he was taken off the field and taken to JacksonMadison General Hospital.

The play started as any other, the teams got into formation, the quarterback made his play call, the snap was received, and the ball was in play…and then it all changed. When tackle was made and the whistle blew, one man did not get up, Jeremy ‘Wildboy’ Harris was down and wrenched in pain.

Harris had completely shattered his knee and broken his larger and stronger lower leg tibia bone.

Harris spent two hours in surgery as the doctors attempted to repair the damage to his leg. A metal rod was inserted during surgery to create some stability to his lower leg that would aid in the recovery of his tibia.

Submitted Photos After sleeping off surgery Harris was in good MCHS’ Jeremy Harris - the 2014 14AA Defensive Lineman of the Year spirits and said that he appreciated all the prayers - recently shattered his knee and tibia bones. Harris, known locally as and calls.

“Wildboy,” is staying tough through physical therapy, as expected.

Harris started physical therapy on Thursday

and did well. Friday he was up and around on crutches taking his first steps after surgery. “Jeremy ‘Wildboy’ Harris won’t be down long,” said friends.

Upon Harris’ return home, he will begin his first stage of recovery with the help of family and friends. He has been instructed to take it easy and protect his injury. He is expected to return to school in two months but it will be important that he does nothing to aggravate the healing process.

Harris is all about football and this tragic injury is devastating to the McNairy Central High School senior. Harris was expected to play college football next year but unfortunately, due to the severity of his injury, the attending surgeon does not see it that way. Rather, his football future is grim and has been put on hold pending how well he recovers and responds to therapy. “He needs to take a full two years off and recover and with proper recovery he could play junior college football in the future,” said Coach Hodge.

Harris was all-district player last season and considered to be the best defensive player going in to the 2015 season.

Coach Hodge wants Harris not to focus on football right now, but turn his attention to a full recov-

“The moral of the Bobcats is staying up,” the team called a meeting and agreed that a little bit of Jeremy will be in every play,” Coach Hodge commented.

The team put together a care package that they will take to his home. “Jeremy loves all the get well cards,” said family and friends.

Coach Hodge said, “He knew that the community would rally around Harris during this difficult time in his life.”

Facebook, snapchat, and tweeter have been bombarded with thoughts and prayers for the recovery of this prized young athlete. Every post was a post of hope and support.

“He is an amazing person that is a pleasure to know.”/ “Come back soon we miss you.”/ “You’re my buddy.”/ “God has a plan.” are just a few messages of his support are being sent out to Harris by friends and family.

His friends do not underestimate the determination of this strong-willed young player called “Wildman.”

Independent Appeal

by Ethan Huggins Sports Writer

Well, it’s that season again. School is back in session, and you know what that means - the pigskin is in the air.

For fans of the McNairy Central Bobcats and the Adamsville High School Cardinals, get ready for the big hits and big excitement the season offers.

What is weird for fans and students of both schools is the annual crosscounty matchup between the two rivals will not happen this season. With the Bobcats moving into a different district, the two were not slated to go up against each other on the schedule, much to the chagrin to McNairy county football fans.

With that, Adamsville is coming off a hot offseason in which they made a deep playoff run, almost making it to state with a regular season record of 11

Independent Appeal wins and 3 losses. This outstanding record of play for the high flyin’ Cards has them looking to once again to go far in the playoffs.

The opponents that come to Adamsville will be pressured as the home field advantage will shine through as the fans will line up along side Highway 64. They will be playing 6 home games this season versus 4 away from the ‘Ville. They will open the season at home against Chester County on August 21. The Cards’ biggest matchup this season comes early on as they face another rival in Hardin County in Savannah. It looks to be another slobberknocker season for the Cards.

The Bobcats, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back from a somewhat underwhelming season, as they went 3 and 7. A young team last year, the Bobcats have more depth and more experience on their side for this season

on the Hill. Fans of McNairy Central are ready to fill Don Whitaker Memorial Stadium, but they will have to wait as the first two Bobcat games are on the road.

The season opener is against an opponent well-known from the Bobcat faithful, as former Head Coaches Browder and Stroup are coaches for the opposing Scott’s Hill team. Emotions will be high for that game from everyone. The next week is a short travel to Chester County to face the Eagles in another big game.

The third week of the season is the home opener for the Cats as they will play Jackson South Side.

The Bobcat team will have their work cut out for them, as they will travel quite the distance for a few games with the furthest rides being games set for Dyersburg and Martin later on in the season.

Kids First, a local fishing tournament, completed their tournament season with an awards banquet hosted by Top O’ the River restaurant in Michie.

This is the sixth year, according to founder Keith Hughes, of Selmer. He and Tim Escue both shared the love of fishing and wanted to start a tournament to give an opportunity for parents and their children to have a positive outlet to strengthen their family relationship while promoting the sport of bass fishing.

They find that many of the children partner with a family friend or grandparent for the tournaments. “We had a couple of girls participate this year and

welcome anyone to join us next year when our tournaments begin again in March or April,” said Hughes. Hughes and Heath Bookout of Collierville manage the tournaments since Escue moved away.

This year they had over 20 children participate from both Tennessee and Mississippi. The tournaments are sanctioned by the TBF foundation and are able to compete with us in a relaxed atmosphere. The tournaments are designed to be low costs to the participants and are primarily funded by out of pocket funds by organizers, donations by competitors and our twenty sponsors.

One of the tournament sponsors Shane and Sandie Cox, own Hammer Rod Company of Gun-

town, Miss. The rod is made in Harrison, Ark. where local ladies are hired in the community to hand wrap the guides.

They used to be into racing and had a trucking business until their son, Ty, competed with his father in a Darryl Worley tournament where Ty caught the biggest fish at the age of 12. Sandie shared, “After that tournament, Ty wanted to tournament fish and has since won a Mississippi State Championship, came in second place in the High School World Championship and was one of two high school students named a Mississippi All State Winner by Bassmaster.”

The Cox’s had an opportunity to purchase the Rod company in 2012 from Carl Graham who established the company in 1996

McGill completes walk at Dodger Stadium

Submitted Photo

Local Pastor Walter “Chick” McGill, a 69 year-old Vietnam veteran, from Guys completed his 3,200-mile coast-to-coast national prayer walk at Santa Monica Pier on the Pacific coast, April 29, 2015. As the result of carrying his American flag “from sea to shining sea,” he was honored as a Military Hero of the Game at the Dodgers vs.

Brewers National League game on July 12th, at DodgerStadium. McGill spent more than 2 years in the Vietnam War serving as a US Air Force communications-navigations technician. The pastor is seeking to have his “cross country flag” enshrined at the National Museum of American History after being the first American flag ever to be hand-carried coast-to-coast by a veteran. He shouldered his large American flag the full distance from Atlantic to Pacific and saluted every passing motorist on the walk route as a gesture of honor and respect for his fellow Americans. Pastor McGill hopes to gather citizen support at his US Flag Petition online. You may read about McGill’s trek and historic “cross-country flag” at www.USFlagPetition.com. Contact McGill by calling 800-754-8021.

Last Saturday, Good Hope Baptist Church in Adamsville held the 2015 Sportsman Dinner with guest speaker Dr. Don Whitt. The dinner was comprised of wild game entrees, hamburgers, hot dogs and desserts.

Good Hope Baptist Church event staffs worked hard to pull this event together and the result was a success.

The food was mouthwatering, the singing was great, and Dr. Whitt delivered a sermon that reached out every age group.

The food was abundant, tables of game food, such as goose, duck, venison, dove, turkey, frog legs, fried alligator and much more was available for the partaking. The crawfish-onion and corn was especially eye-catching, along with the venison-dirty rice, and venison stew.

There was spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, barbecue baked beans, potato salad and slaw for those that were timid to food of the ‘wild’ kind.

The desert table was loaded with pies, cookies, cakes, and brownies. There was so much food to pick from, plates were stacked high and many went back for seconds.

What a welcome, “Grab a plate, have a seat and enjoy,� was the greeting at the door.

The speaker Dr. Whitt mixed good food with a great sermon. Whitt held the attention of the audience with his delightful humor of hunting stories and hound dogs that was on right target with his sermon. “If it flies, it dies,� Whitt commented. The crowd roared with laughter.

As his sermon neared a close, Whitt summed up the theme of his sermon, Whitt said, “If I die, I fly.� That night at least 10 youths raised their hands to be saved and desired to follow Christian life in Jesus. One event staff member said, “Nobody has ever been saved at our Sportsman Dinner before.�

The food was good and the result was great.

UT Martin online MBA Program ranked 11th nationally

Town of Guys Beer Board Meeting will be held Monday, August 17th at 6:30 p.m. considering an application for Eldon Nelson/B&B.

By Erin Chesnut University of Tennessee - Martin

Onlinecoursereport.com has ranked the University of Tennessee at Martin’s online Master of Business Administration program 11th nationally on its most recent top-50 list. UT Martin is the highest-ranked program in Tennessee.

Onlinecoursereport.com used three factors to determine each institution’s rank. Each school was evaluated for affordability (average cost per course hour), flexibility (program design) and academic prestige (based on other prominent rankings). The University of Memphis was the closest Tennessee university, coming in at number 16.

This recognition follows others earned earlier this year, including a tie for 18th place for best online programs overall and a 16th-place ranking for best online programs for veterans, both from U.S. News & World Report. The program is also ranked 15th in the South, 33rd among public schools and 39th overall by onlinembareport.com. “UT Martin’s online MBA program is highly regarded and surprisingly affordable,� said Dr. Ross Dickens, professor and dean, College of Business and Global Affairs. “It is an excellent combination of quality and value.�

The UT Martin program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

What is a Chick Chain?

A group of local 4-H members recently found out the answer to this question as each of the 51 children received 3-day-old baby Black Sex Link female chicks on May 20.

Each youth was able to choose 12 or 25 chicks by paying a refundable deposit for the animals.

“To receive their deposit back, they must bring back 3 hens for every 12 taken on the date of the 4-H Chick Chain Show and Sale, on Oct. 3, in front of Stockdale’s in Selmer,” Julie Harstin, UT-Extension Agent III for 4-H Youth Development. “The youth have been instructed in how to care for the chickens, and offered and/or received a farm visit from their 4-H Agent.”

Harstin said that the 4-H Chick Chain Sales will begin immediately after the shows, which start at 9 a.m. for groups of 6 hens and at 1 p.m. for groups of 3 hens.

She estimated that approximately 140 hens will be for sale to the public that day. They will be for sale in groups by auction, and they will be ready to start laying eggs around that date.

“These hens are a large, hardy breed that is useful for both egg and meat production,” Harstin said. “Anyone who would like to bid on the hens at the sale is welcome.”

McNairy County 4-H is a program of the University of Tennessee, which offers equal opportunities in its programs and employment.
