Pusser Garrison faces charges after wreck

By Steve Beavers Assistant Editor

ADAMSVILLE – A former Adamsville City Commissioner was arrested after crashing her vehicle into an utility pole.

Dwana Pusser Garrison – the daughter of legendary McNairy County Sheriff Buford Pusser – was booked into the McNairy County Jail on a DUI charge and later released on her own recognizance.

Garrison is charged with driving under the influence, possession of a handgun while under the influence and possession of Schedule IV. AdamsGARRISON ville Police Officer Matthew Locke was dis-

patched to a wreck on the corner of Old Shiloh and Walnut Street at 10:20 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 15, according to the affidavit of complaint.

Locke said in the affidavit that he found a white Lexus halfway off the road at the intersection of the streets when he arrived. The vehicle appeared it failed to navigate the turn and crashed into an utility pole, according to Locke.

Garrison had small cuts on her forearms and told Locke she

had hit her head on the steering wheel when asked if she was injured.

Garrison refused treatment from paramedics. She consented to both a blood draw and standardized field sobriety test after telling Locke she had taken her morning medicine about an hour prior.

During the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test, Locke said Garrison showed a lack of smooth pursuit in both eyes. Garrison

was also slurring her words and her pupils were smaller than normal, according to the complaint.

A witness told Locke he had witnessed Garrison’s vehicle drive off and then back on the road near Overshot Road before crashing.

Garrison was appointed to the city commission after Tommy Morris resigned in 1998. She spent 14 years on the board before deciding not to run for reelection in 2011.

Federal jury indicts two for robberies For the Independent Appeal

JACKSON – A federal grand jury charged two defendants for allegedly robbing two banks in two separate counties in West Tennessee.

Michael Dunavant – U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee – announced the indictment Monday.

T h i r t y- s i x - y e a r - o l d Gene Allen Howell of Selmer and 36-year-old Janet Nicole Thompson of Enville robbed Home Banking Company in Finger on Aug. 25, according to the indictment.

Several months later, the defendants robbed the Peoples Bank in Reagan on Oct. 14.

During each robbery, Howell brandished a weapon.

Howell and Thompson are charged with two counts of bank robbery.

Howell is also charged with possessing and discharging a firearm during crime of violence.

If convicted, each defendant will face up to 20 years in federal prison for each of the individual robbery counts. Howell will

No one was seriously injured during a four-vehicle crash on East Poplar Avenue.

The drivers of four vehicles escaped serious injury following an accident on East Poplar Avenue.

Officers with the Selmer Police Department were dispatched to the wreck scene around 12:11 p.m. on Nov. 17.

Nineteen-year-old Kristen Worsham of Selmer was stationary in the inside lane of East Poplar and was attempting to make a left turn onto Baker Road in her 2016 Nissan Altima, according to the accident report.

Seventy-seven-year-old Doris Kolaski of Savannah was traveling in the same lane as Worsham in a 2011 Ford Fusion.

The report stated Kolaski failed to see

Worsham stopped in front of her and rear ended her vehicle, forcing it into oncoming traffic in the westbound lane.

Worsham’s Altima then made contact with the driver’s side of a 2003 Ford F-150 driven by 78-year-old Jimmy Reaves of Bethel Springs.

Reaves’ truck was forced off the roadway and hit the 2011 Ford Escape of 52-year-old Lorina McMinn.

McMinn of Selmer was parked at the fuel pumps of the Citgo Gas Station when her car was impacted.

The impact with McMinn’s car sent Reaves’ truck back into the westbound lane of East Poplar.

Kolaski was routinely transported by Med Center EMS for evaluation, according to the report.

Aldermen pass first reading of zoning ordinance

By Joel Counce Contributor

The Town of Selmer is making a change to a zoning ordinance involving trailer parks.

The Selmer Mayor and Board of Aldermen approved the first reading of the ordinance during its Nov. 14 meeting.

Those residences – zoned

as R4 – dealt with replacing old trailers. The location is a trailer park on New Bethel Road, the only place in the city designated as R4.

“The language was if a trailer was unusable, it could only be replaced with a trailer made within the last five years,” said Selmer Building Inspector Jim Replogle.

“The new ordinance says they

can be replaced with a stick built house.”

The idea to build houses on the spot was the brainchild of Kenneth Sweat, who owns the trailer park.

Sweat’s plans have several designs.

“He’s got a pretty good dossier of homes he wants to build,” said Replogle. “He has plans al-

ready laid out.”

Sweat first presented the plans to the Selmer Planning Commission in October.

“This is all up to the planning commission and the board,” added Replogle. “But it is my personal opinion that it’s an improvement and offers a nice place to live for people who are on fixed incomes.”

The Selmer board passed the measure unanimously. The second reading will be presented next month.

Sweat has owned property in the city since 1968.

“There are a lot of people who are in transition where they can’t afford their own home and don’t

Concert strives to make kids happy

By Joel Counce Contributor

A holiday fundraiser following the Selmer Christmas Parade will benefit the Carl Perkins Center of Selmer.

The Christmas concert is set for 7 p.m. on Dec. 2 at the Selmer Community Center.

Coffee and hot chocolate will be sold and donations will be taken at the door.

Michael Wiggins got the idea for the fundraiser after a conversation at a dollar store.

“I just said I wished there was something I could do,” said Wiggins.

“Within an hour, someone called me and asked if there was anything he could do to help.”

Wiggins contacted Amanda Emmons at the

Bethel Springs City Hall to help organize the event.

“The idea was to do something for kids at Christmas,” said Emmons.

“I told him to pick a specific organization to do it for and he chose the Carl Perkins Center.”

Dawg Creek Band, Lloyd Watkins and Family, B.J. Martin, Russell Elliott, Jackie Pickles, Watkins, Emmons and others will perform.

“If it’s where we can, we try to do benefits,” said Watkins. “I have been so blessed with playing over the years that I like to give some of that back.”

Watkins encourages everyone to come out and support the concert. “It’s a very worthy cause,” he said. “If everybody gives a little, we can make a lot of kids really happy for Christmas.”

Superior Chapter

Officers of the Financial Management Association accept a plaque in recognition for earning the “Superior Chapter” designation for the 2016-17 academic year. To earn the designation, which was achieved by just 20 chapters in the world, the members had to complete eight tasks, including having more than eight speaker meetings during the year, conducting two field trips to local businesses, sending representatives to the FMA Student Leadership Conference in New York City, having members earn FMA National Honor Society recognition, and more. Members of the chapter are (from left) Ty Smith of Selmer – FMA secretary and a junior finance major; Alison Brown of Pinson – FMA vice president and a senior management major; Dr. Ty Perry – assistant professor of finance and FMA faculty adviser; Wyatt Jones of Fairview – FMA president and a senior finance major; Hunter Knight of Henderson – FMA treasurer and a senior economics major; and Dr. Ross Dickens – professor of finance, dean of the UT Martin College of Business and Global Affairs and FMA student chapter committee chair.

The McNairy County School District will soon acquire the old Jaycee property.

Members of the school board approved donating $5,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in the

name of the Selmer Jaycees as part of the donation proposal.

The donation agreement is subject to the approval of the statewide Jaycee organization.

“I don’t expect they will withhold the approval,” said board attorney Ross Mitchell.

The building – rebuilt in 1994 following a tornado – and three acres of land are part of the deal.

ARC helps students learn differently

By Joel Counce Contributor

Behavior specialist Jacqui Thweatt-Burton has decorated and filled the Awareness Resources Control (ARC) classroom on the campus of McNairy Central with things not typically found in classrooms.

On one wall is a cloud, created by placing foam fills over a Chinese lantern. Inside the lantern are LED lights which have a remote that changes the colors of the lights or can produce “lightning.”

“We can’t do that with every student,” she said. “Some students have seizures and it’s too

much for them to take.”

Another part of the room has a timeout center – not for punishment, but to give students a place to calm down when they need it. A gel-filled basketball rests in the floor near a “hug in a bag,” a large sleeve-like piece of material designed so students can feel enveloped when they need it.

Thweatt-Burton presented an overview of the statewide program to the McNairy County School Board on Thursday.

“People don’t realize what all we do,” said Thweatt-Burton.

“The amount of children with aggressive behavior problems is on the rise and behavior has es-

calated.”

Thweatt-Burton said her job involves teaching children how to deal with trauma.

“I never dreamed of a job where I would be kicked and hit,” she said.

ARC has three components: • Awareness – “I will be aware of my behavior.”

• Resources – “I will use my resources.”

• Control – “I can only control my actions and my attitudes.”

ARC replaced LAB (Learning Appropriate Behaviors), a program initially introduced in Tennessee schools in 1952. ARC is in its second school year with the McNairy County School District.

The program seeks to leave students in their home schools and introduces ways to deal with behaviors in the classroom through allowing them an object, such as a ball or fidget spinner, on their desk.

“We give them things to handle, but we have rules along with it,” said Thweatt-Burton.

The ARC website says federal law requires individuals ages three to 22 with disabilities are to receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE).

“There are days were this job is physically and mentally exhausting,” said Thweatt-Burton.

“But we get one shot with these kids and every minute matters.”

She said the number of students has increased about 50 percent from the beginning of the school year. Students in ARC range in grades from kindergarten to high school.

“We would prefer to get them while they are young before these behaviors are ingrained,” said Thweatt-Burton.

Students are not sent here for punishment, according to the teacher. “It’s just a place were we learn differently,” she said.

Thweatt-Burton said the reward is the students themselves.

“When I see them and they’re doing well, and their families are doing well, that’s my reward,” she said. “I love what I do.”

JACKSON – Addie Wilson likes kicking it in the gym.

The McNairy Central graduate has gone from learning the sport of kickboxing to teaching it.

Wilson saw the need to learn selfdefense and selected kickboxing as her Senior Project in 2009.

The attorney with the law firm Rainey, Kizer, Reviere & Bell in Jackson practices in the areas of Tort Defense Litigation and Insurance Defense. She also teaches kickboxing at Total Fitness Kickboxing.

“I did not see the value of what I was doing in high school, but I really can see now how it has helped me in several ways,” said Wilson. “The Senior Project is positive for the students because it adds something to their lives that they may not otherwise have ever learned about.”

Wilson began her path to learning kickboxing as a teenager under mentor Craig Hamm. Wilson began spending her Saturday mornings with Hamm’s classes after she had cheered for the football Bobcats on Friday night. She studied under Hamm for almost eight months to learn the intricate details of kickboxing.

in 2013, she attended Belmont University College of Law and graduated in 2016. While going to law school, Wilson joined Hot Box in Nashville where the building is heated to 85 degrees before you do your kickboxing workout.

“I love the combination of benefits of kickboxing,” said Wilson.

Bethel Springs is in need of storage room.

The town’s city council voted to start accepting bids for construction of a 40x60 metal workshop to help with the issue.

“We won’t have a place to store all the equipment once the old Spring Factory building sells,” said Bethel Springs City Manager Deborah Sullivan.

The council voted to accept bids for the Spring Factory building in September.

The council also voted

to move the Christmas parade from Dec. 1 to Dec. 16.

“That was the date of the Mistletoe Ball,” said Sullivan. “We didn’t want to interfere with that and we didn’t want people to have to choose.”

Parade lineup will be at 5:45 p.m. at Bethel Springs Elementary School and go south and end at city hall.

Hot chocolate and cookies will be served and there will be a visit from Santa Claus.

The Bethel Springs City Council meets the first Monday after the first Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m.

Town needs public input for park plan

By Joel Counce Contributor

Selmer is asking McNairy County residents to attend a town hall meeting regarding a 10-year plan for the county’s parks.

Community Development Partners, LLC. (CDP) of Nashville is a consulting firm helping with the park design and will hold two public workshops.

The first meeting is set for 6 p.m. on Nov. 27 at the Selmer Community Center.

“This is very important for the whole community,” said Selmer Parks and Recreation Director Sybil Dancer.

Dancer told the Selmer Mayor and Board of Aldermen that parks and recreation had met seven of 12 goals in an expired five-year plan.

“We have a new plan,” she said. “This

is a dream and a vision with our 10-year master plan.”

Selmer, along with Adamsville and the McNairy County School System, was awarded a grant from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s Local Parks and Recreation Fund to create improvements to existing park and recreation facilities as well as new facilities.

Talks about the Tennessee Department of Health Grant began in December.

In a May meeting, representatives from three municipalities; Selmer, Adamsville, Bethel Springs, the McNairy County School District and McNairy County learned about the grant, which requires a 20 percent match.

The Selmer board approved the grant in June.

Hope makes a difference in the Adamsville to celebrate year lives of people who are hurting with ‘Christmas in the Park’

By David Coy Sunrise

A four letter word is the difference for many in their perception of a life with purpose or a life consumed with despair.

It is said of Edwin Aldrin that after he completed participating in landing on the moon that he could not think of a goal in life that could equal or exceed what he had already achieved.

Thus, he next experienced depression.

He concluded, I had gone to the moon ... what possible goal could I add?

People who journey with grief often experience the same outcome. They lose

a loved one through death or a house through natural disaster or health through no fault of their own and they loose sight of a very important fact.

Many even today come to believe they have no further purpose that their life possesses.

They think after their loss they have no further incentive, no hope that their life has meaning.

The old idiom, placing all our eggs in one basket, is apropos here. I have spoken with too many people who placed all their hopes, dreams, reason for living in one

The City of Adamsville received the first of two 2017 SUVs. The Adamsville City Commission voted to approve the purchase of one vehicle in May and left open the purchase of another in June.

The vehicle cost a total of $34,175 and has a 3.7 Liter V6 engine with a six

speed automatic transmission.

The SUV has no city decals applied to it yet.

“We hope to get ghost graphics on it,” said Adamsville Police Chief Jerry Christopher.

Adamsville Police benefited from the sell of older equipment to pay off the final $56,779.16 of a previous debt before purchase.

Linda Mooningham, director of marketing and

legal coordinator of the Tennessee Municipal Bond Fund, wrote to the board concerning the debt on the cars.

“I have spoken with the bank and they have agreed to waive the prepayment penalty,” Mooningham wrote. “The note requires a 15 day prepayment notice.”

Standard price for the 2017 Ford Taurus is $27,345.

The SUV has a listed standard price of $31,995.

Guys board frustrated over road improvement project

By Janet Rail Publisher

The Guys Mayor and Board of Aldermen voiced frustration with the current reconstruction project on Old Highway 45 during its Monday meeting.

“I am happy we got the grant for repair, but I thought the project would allow a portion of the highway to be paved and not just patched,” said Guys Mayor Keith Rinehart. “I really think I misunderstood what the grant would include and we need to figure out how to complete the work after this project is over.”

Engineering assessments required repairs to a two-mile stretch of the highway’s infrastructure which the city said was costly.

The board discussed seeking another grant to complete paving on the project in the future.

The board met with consultant Shannon Cotter, SIC Project Management, regarding eligibility for a road improvement grant for Old Highway 45 and GuysChewalla Road in January of 2015.

Both roads were in great need of repair, according to the board.

The late alderman Pete Rinehart said there was a map and drawing of all 13 miles of roadway in the city which could be used to point out road improvements during the meeting with Cotter.

Guys met requirements for assistance and was awarded a $142,394 Community Development Block Grant for highway improvement.

The contract was awarded to Tinin Contracting as the low bidder.

In other business, the board approved a budget revision of a $6,500 increase change order for the project as requested

by Kent Archer, CDBG director.

Alderman Bradley Gray reported receipt from Fire Chief Perry Strickland for the training of several firemen. Firemen plan to attend additional free training provided by Allen Strickland, director of emergency management for McNairy County, Dec. 2 on emergency vehicle operations.

Gray reported he plans to print all fire call records and keep them in a log for the city at Town Center.

Unemployment rate drops to three percent

By Bill Haslam Tennessee Governor

Tennessee now has the lowest recorded unemployment rate in state history at three percent.

The September figures mark the second consecutive month rates have declined in every one of our state’s 95 counties.

Our comprehensive approach to attracting businesses to either locate or expand here are one of the reaHASLAM sons Tennessee has its lowest unemployment rate since the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking such numbers in 1976.

When we took office in 2011, we made workforce development one of our highest priorities, and we believe the policies we have steadily pursued are why we have re-

cord low unemployment now.

We have recently celebrated a lot of news regarding foreign investment, which has played a big role in our success.

DENSO, with its global headquarters in Japan, this month announced a $1 billion investment to expand its operation in Maryville. The company’s decision will create 1,000 new jobs.

DENSO, which makes starters, alternators and a wide range of electronic components for the automotive industry, has been in Tennessee for over 30 years, so its expansion says a lot about its confidence in our state.

Hankook Tire, based in South Korea, held its grand opening in Clarksville earlier this year for its first North American production plant. Hankook’s plant in Montgomery County will create 1,800 jobs. Along with its North American headquarters in Nashville, that represents 2,000 jobs for our state.

These companies, and others like them, are why Department of Economic

Gant supports state military servicemen For the Independent Appeal

State Representative Ron Gant is leading the way to ensure those who defend Tennessee and the United States are not forgotten.

In 2017, Gant and additional members of the House Republican Caucus fought to safeguard veterans from being used as political pawns during a debate over whether to include veteran’s property tax relief as part of the IMPROVE Act. The group eventually was able to reduce the amount of property GANT tax owed by veterans, eligible low-income elderly and disabled homeowners.

Gant also backed the Support, Training and Renewing Opportunity for National Guardsman (STRONG) Act. The initiative provides last dollarscholarships to our state’s service mem-

bers who meet eligibility requirements, allowing them to pursue their educational goals and dreams without fear of financial struggle.

The state representative co-sponsored House Bill 433. The initiative assists veterans by determining how their military training can count as college credit at Tennessee’s colleges and universities.

The legislation also grants in-state tuition to anyone currently living in Tennessee who is using VA educational benefits, regardless of their official home of record. “Our efforts in 2017 are a small way that we can express our gratitude and show our appreciation to the brave men and women who protect our freedom, our state, and our country,� said Gant. “These courageous individuals and their families deserve our support and respect for the selfless sacrifices they make.�

Gant said he would continue to support servicemen, women and veterans. “I pledge to fight for them and protect their rights throughout my time serving as a member of the Tennessee General Assembly,� he said.

and Community Development Commissioner Bob Rolfe and I visited Asia this month.

The trip was designed to strengthen ties we already have with Asian businesses and an attempt to build on that momentum by attracting others.

On the trip we were grateful to U.S. Ambassador to Japan Bill Hagerty, a former commissioner of economic and community development for Tennessee, for hosting a reception for Tennessee and over 100 Japanese companies.

While we were in Japan we were able to meet with our partners from DENSO and thank them again for their recent investment.

Tennessee led the nation in job creation from foreign direct investment in 2013 and 2015, according to IBM-PLI’s Global Location Trends report. Our recent accomplishments in seeking foreign investments are being recognized by others.

Asia is not the only part of the world we are interested in when seeking for-

eign investment. Early this month, we celebrated the announcement in Sparta that Hormann, which is headquartered in Germany, will invest nearly $64 million to establish a manufacturing facility in White County and is expected to create 200 wellpaying jobs.

Workers at the 350,000-square-foot facility will make residential and commercial garage doors, serving customers across North America.

It shows the value of a global push for investment in Tennessee. In fact, we made an economic development trip to Germany last year.

We have been able to establish strong, lengthy relationships with global companies, and once those relationships have been established we have seen them thrive. This means good jobs for Tennesseans.

We have enjoyed our relationships with companies from around the world and we plan to continue to build on that momentum.

Shiloh National Military Park to replace brick cemetery wall with no structural support, and was constructed using soft clay brick laid in the traditional common bond pattern using Portland cement as the bonding agent,� said Superintendent Dale Wilkerson. “Approximately 90 percent of the wall shows signs of deterioration because the mortar is harder than the brick and there are no expansion joints or drainage weep holes in the wall.�

Several major cracks have also developed both horizontally and vertically, according to Wilkerson. “It has caused the wall to shift off of its foundation by more than two inches,� said Wilkerson.

Earlier this year the park received funding to replace the wall and convened an interdisciplinary team of engineers, historians, historic masons, and cultural resource specialists to examine the wall.

The group looked long-term solutions and determined the best course of treatment for the structure.

After developing four treatment options, the team ultimately decided that replacement of the wall was the best choice for the long-term.

The new wall will be constructed to match the existing wall and the original iron gates will be preserved and reused.

For the Independent Appeal

Shiloh National Military Park is replacing the brick wall surrounding the western boundary of the Shiloh National Cemetery.

Demolition of the wall began Nov. 15 with work expected to be completed by Christmas.

In 1866, the War Department established the cemetery in order to bury the dead from the battle of Shiloh and from other operations along the Tennessee River.

Shiloh National Cemetery holds 3,584 Civil War dead, as well as soldiers from World War I and II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf War. Total interments in the cemetery stands at 3,892. Although the cemetery was officially closed in 1984, it still averages two or three burials a year for widows of soldiers already interred.

In 1867, workers built a stone wall around the cemetery and in 1911 a concrete wall and ornamental iron gates were added at the entrance.

While the stone wall and gates remain, the original concrete wall eventually deteriorated and in 1940 was replaced with the current brick wall. “This 77-year-old brick wall is hollow

Simple measures best way to combat flu

The best way to combat colds and flu this season is through simple preventive measures.

Getting a flu shot is the number one thing you can do to prevent the flu.

Measures also used to prevent illness includes washing your hands with soap and water frequently especially after blowing your nose, coughing, sneezing, being with ill people and before you eat.

If you happen to get a cold or the flu, drink plenty of fluids, get adequate rest and treat the symptoms. Quality rest allows more energy for your immune system.

Decongestant medications should not be used by those with high blood pressure, they also can keep some high blood pressure medications from working the way they should.

When purchasing an allergy medication, if you have high blood pressure be sure that the label does not say it contains a decongestant.

THP urges motorists to be aware of deer For the Independent Appeal

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Highway Patrol cautions motorists to watch out for deer on or near the roadways.

An increase in deer related crashes is more likely during November-December due to deer mating and hunting season.

“Deer related crashes can be a very serious and dangerous incident,” said THP Colonel Tracy Trott.

“Deer pose a danger to motorists throughout the year, especially in the fall.”

Statistics show November is typically the worst month for deer-related crashes, according to Trott.

In Tennessee from 2012 and 2016, 6.4 percent of deer related crashes occurred on state highways.

In 2016, there were 7,219 deer related crashes including 330 that involved injuries and one that was fatal.

Since 2011, deer related crashes in Tennessee have increased 26.7 percent.

As of October 31, 2017, there have been 4,223 deer involved traffic crashes across the state.

October through December is prime mating months for deer. This causes deer to be less aware causing motorists to pay extra attention to deer darting directly in front of traffic.

The THP suggests the following tips to help prevent deer related crashes: • When people see deer cross the road, expect more to follow • Be attentive and drive defensively, scanning the roadside, especially at dawn and dusk • Do not swerve to avoid contact with deer • If people do collide with a deer, never approach the animal. They are powerful and can cause bodily harm to a human.

said Maxedon of her 2007 appointment with Fetterman. “The choice was to either have surgery or be deaf the rest of my life.”

The implant surgery would be a costly one, according to Maxedon.

“The girl at the hospital looked at it and told me it was more than her mother paid for her first house,” said Maxedon with a smile. “I couldn’t afford any mess up if it didn’t work.”

A family issue of nerve damage and hearing problems were passed down to Maxedon. In the early 1990s, she was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease.

The disease is a condition characterized by vertigo, tinnitus and progressive deafness. The disease can develop at any age, but most commonly appears between the age of 40 and 60 and normally only affects one ear.

“I had profound dizzy spells,” said Maxedon. “In the beginning, I was convinced to see a doctor at the Shea Ear Clinic in Memphis.”

Maxedon was given some pills and hearing aids following the visit.

She had the option of surgery two years later.

“My insurance would not cover an

experimental surgery at that time,” said Maxedon. “Fluid was drained during a three-day procedure and I was given hearing aids.”

When the hearing aids failed to improve her hearing, she had no choice but to consider an implant.

“Implant recipients are few and far between,” said the former Jetick’s bookkeeper. “You just can’t walk in and get a Cochlear implant.”

Local insurance agent Dennis Goff worked with Blue Cross to get the surgery approved, according to Maxedon.

It took over a year to have the surgery worked out.

“That length of time helped prepare me for the surgery,” said the 74-year-old Maxedon.

The implant procedure took four hours. An incision was made behind Maxedon’s left ear and a tunnel drilled the skull over an inch down to the cochlea. The cochlea is located in the inner ear at the base of the brain.

A magnet along with an array of electrodes were implanted into the skull after entry was made.

The cochlea – which is spiral shaped – was then threaded with another array of electrodes.

A sound processor captures sound from the environment and processes

it into digital information. It delivers sound through the magnet and an array of electrodes implanted into the skull. Finally, it passes into tiny wires into the electrical array in the cochlea.

The electrodes deliver the electrical signals across many tiny contacts or electrodes to the hearing nerve where sound information is carried to the brain and heard.

The patient is deaf for 4-6 weeks for healing to occur before power is turned on and programming begins following surgery.

Dr. Laura Mutchler – with Baptist East audiology in Memphis – held Maxedon’s hand when she went out with anesthesia.

“She has been with me ever since doing all my programming or mapping,” said Maxedon. “She is my right arm, understanding what I don’t.”

Maxedon said mapping is done to draw a map into the hearing world so it can be programmed and heard by patients.

Cochlear implants rescued Maxedon from the silent world.

“Cochlear is one of the best companies I have dealt with,” said Maxedon. “They are always willing to help ... I would be in the deaf world without them.”

“I think it’s a great opportunity to give the citizens and we are just glad we can provide that for them,” he said.

Recent church shootings prompted Buck and Strickland to do the training.

“All McNairy County church congregations are

invited,” said Strickland.

“This is designed to help them identify potential threats and how to react in an active shooter situation.”

Strickland said those who attend will be better informed and prepared.

“The safety of the citizens of McNairy County is of the utmost importance

and helping them understand potential threats will help save lives when bad things happen,” said Strickland.

The truck is around 27.5 feet long with a 15.5 feet wheelbase and has a 300 gallon water tank, a 10 gallon foam unit and the jaws of life.

“We will have it for crash fires,” said Newell. “It will be used for small brush fires, but it’s more of a first responder truck ... it will meet Adamsville’s emer-

gency needs for a while.”

The truck’s storage compartment pulls out for easier access to equipment.

The Adamsville completed the bid process in February, but did not accept a bid until March.

Purchase of the turnout gear was approved in May. Purchase of seven helmets, six pairs of pants and two pairs of boots were also approved.

“We’re going to get

more next year,” said Newell. “After about 10 years, turnout gear is no good and usually gets destroyed.”

The fire department’s Insurance Service Office (ISO) public protection classification went from a 7 to a 4, placing the department in the top 12 percent of fire departments in the state.

No department in the state currently has a rating of 1, the highest ranking.

McNAIRY VOICES What is your favorite Thanksgiving tradition?

By Bryan Golden Dare to Live Without Limits

False justifications are erroneous beliefs that are used to support specific behavior.

When your actions are based on an incorrect understanding, you will either limit yourself or go down the wrong path. Your mind directs you based on your beliefs. It doesn’t care whether or not a specific tenet is correct.

Throughout history, human progress has been hampered by erroneous concepts. Prior to the exploration of Columbus, ships would limit their travels for fear of falling off the edge of the earth. Today, it seems ludicrous for anyone to have ever thought the world was flat. However, at the time it was accepted science.

Another false premise of the past was the idea of the sun revolving around the earth. As another example, many civilizations throughout history panicked during a solar eclipse, fearing it signaled the end of the world.

Just as false justifications impacted GOLDEN societal progress, the ones you hold affect your accomplishments. You have to be careful what you convince yourself of. As far as your mind is concerned, your outlook is the truth, even when it is based on a flawed assumption. Let’s look at some often used false justifications.

“I can’t do it.” This is probably one of the most used justifications for failure. It’s also employed to avoid any attempt at all. The truth is that you can do whatever you set your mind to. With enough of a burning desire, there are no limits to what you can accomplish. Replace “I can’t do it” with “I can do it.”

“There is no solution.” Everyone encounters problems and there is a solution for every problem. When you don’t believe this, you abdicate control over your life by feeling and acting like a victim. Solutions may be elusive, but they always exist.

“I don’t know how.” There isn’t any way to know everything. There will always be more you don’t know than you do.

You always have two options. You can acquire the knowledge you need or you can utilize someone else’s expertise. Regardless of the subject, the information you need exists.

“I’m too busy.” Why do some people accomplish so much more than others? Their key is setting priorities and working toward their goals. Those who aren’t as productive lack focus.

By devoting time to that which is most important, you will achieve more than before.

“I’ll be criticized.” So what? It doesn’t matter what other people say, think, or do. All that matters is what you do. Every person who has accomplished great things has always done so in the face of criticism. If you are criticized, you are in the company of the greatest minds in history.

“I’ll fail.” In order to increase your success rate, you must increase your failure rate. Besides, you only really fail when you stop trying. To succeed, get up one more time than you fall down. Failure is nothing more than the discovery of something that didn’t work as planned.

“I’m too old.” You are never going to be as young as you are today. If there is something you really want, get started now. What are you waiting for? Life isn’t a practice run.

Don’t waste any effort justifying why you are not attaining all you want. Examine your beliefs and make the necessary adjustments.

There are countless examples of people accomplishing everything you think is not possible. Get off of the sidelines and get on the path to achieving your dreams.

Give thanks because of what the Lord has done

By Nancy Kennedy Tidd Bitts

Sometimes a church service will linger forever.

I’ve heard a zillion sermons on thankfulness at this time of the year.

A recent sermon was different. The minister talked about giving thanks and told about people who made a difference in his life. One story touched us all.

When the minister was challenging the call of God to enter the KENNEDY ministry, a friend always stood by giving advice about the challenge and encouragement. The friend was

of a different denomination, but was there when Bro. Joel preached his first sermons and had lots to learn.

The friend was an elder in his church and a great family man with a wife and three teenage children. Quite suddenly the friend’s wife got sick and died within two months. Soon after, he lost his daughter and a son.

Life was hard for the friend, but he was still the voice of helping others. He offered words such as your sermons are improving, keep up the good work and so glad you are doing God’s will.

My minister was busy with a job, a family and driving to Memphis to seminary.

One day he thought he needed to check on his friend. but he didn’t have time. He would check on him the next day or the next day.

About a week later, he heard the friend

had a heart attack and the funeral was in the biggest church in town. Why? This was not church where he was an elder.

The church was completely full because he was the same to all he knew. A friend to everyone Always a smile and a pat on the back.

Bro. Joel never forgot he failed his friend. One sermon point was ‘flowers are for the living.’

This story tugged my heart and made me remember many times I remembered a friend too late. The service touched most people. Tears drizzled many cheeks.

Thank God for our friends and family.

Be their friend.

Another sermon point was “Give Thanks.” So many articles and sermons about thanks consists of material things. It is great to give thanks for a good job. A great car and on and on.

Our first thanks should always be on a spiritual level. ‘Give thanks with a grateful heart. Give thanks to the Holy One. Give thanks for He has given Jesus Christ, His Son.’ Bro. Joel requested the choir sing ‘Give Thanks’ written by Henry Smith in 1978. So many of our songs have a story behind the words.

Henry finished college, but couldn’t find a job. He had an eye problem and went legally blind, but words stand out, ‘let the poor say I am rich, let the weak say I am strong, because of what the Lord has done for us.’

This beautiful song has 48 words. Give thanks is stated six times, so that leaves only 36 other words. Joyfully sung, it has a powerful and peaceful effect on me.

Give thanks because of what the Lord has done for us.

Daphen B. Smith Daphen B. Smith of Eastview, began her forever life on November 17, at the age of 87 years, 9 months, and 13 days. Born to Oscar and Exie Davis Smith on February 4, 1930, Daphen grew up in Stantonville with her brother Edward and graduated from Adamsville High School in 1948.

In 1949, Daphen was united in marriage to Winfred (Dook) Smith, and together they raised three children: Lynn, Gloria, and Gary.

An active member of her beloved church, Mt. Vernon Cumberland Presbyterian, Daphen devotedly served from the pew and sang from the choir. It was through the relationships forged within her church family that Daphen faithfully reared her own family.

While caring for her children, Daphen not only worked tirelessly at home but she also worked diligently at Levi Manufacturing, serving this company for 15 years. Upon retiring, her week days were dedicated to caring for her grandchildren while her weekends were devoted to seeking and selling treasures.

Never one to leave a yard sale unvisited, an auction unattended, or a hotdog uncooked, Daphen gave away as much as she took in, and always for the benefit of others.

Never prone to idleness, Daphen filled her days with gardening, canning, and quilting. Much to the delight of those who reaped what she sowed (and sewed), those who visited Daphen’s home rarely left with empty hands, or empty stomachs. She delighted in doing for others, whether it was from her garden, her sewing machine, her quilting loom, or her kitchen.

Daphen, as sister, leaves behind one brother: Edward Smith of Adamsville. Daphen, as Mother, leaves behind three children and their spouses: Lynn Smith and wife Carol of Dyersburg; Gloria Loda and husband Ron of Piperton; Gary Smith and wife Kris of Counce. Daphen, as Nannie, leaves behind six grandchildren: Gina Foust and husband Shaun, Eric Smith and wife Lisa Maxedon Smith, Jill Fowlkes, Tyler Jernigan and companion Stephanie Wilson, Levi Smith, and Eli Smith; and six great-grandchildren: Riley Smith, Braxton Jernigan, Anna Kate Crenshaw, Kole Crenshaw, Josh Fowlkes, and Elizabeth Fowlkes.

She also leaves behind a special friend, Linda Hamlin.

Daphen, upon leaving this earth, has been joyously reunited with her parents, her husband, and many friends and relatives who have preceded her in death.

Services were held on November 20, 2017 at 11 a.m. at Shackelford Funeral Directors in Selmer, Tenn., with Jeff DeWees officiating. Burial followed in the Mt. Vernon Cemetery at Ramer, Tenn.

BLACK FRIDAY Ten tips for your stress-free Holiday RED SATURDAY

By Melanie King

Advertising Sales Rep

Christmas is only a month away - are you ready?

We’ve compiled a list of tips to help you prepare for a stress-free holiday.

1. Make a Master List.

Begin making a list of all the things that you and your family normally does at Christmas and add to that list, any things that you want to add for 2017. This list will help you to do things in a timely manner without forgetting anything.

2. Put everything on a calendar and keep this calendar on your refrigerator or somewhere where you will see it daily.

Start with things that you do every year and add to that. Things that you should include on this calendar include: shopping, baking, mailing packages, cards and invitations, school and church events. This calendar should help you be prepared in advance so that you don’t miss an important event or have to make a mad dash to the store for a baking ingredient.

3. Go through your Christmas décor and check lights and batteries so that when you get ready to decorate, you can complete the task without having to stop and make a trip to the store or having to take lights off that do not work.

Purchase any items that you need to complete your decorating task.

4. Take down fall décor before putting up Christmas décor.

Doing bath tasks the same day can be exhausting. When it’s time to decorate for Christmas, you won’t have fall décor in your way and you won’t be tired from trying to do both the same day.

5. Take inventory of your wrapping supplies.

Buy boxes, paper, ribbon and tags in advance to avoid the rush and get the best choices of paper before the styles are picked over.

BG 50 GAS BLOWER BG 50 GAS BLOWER

6. Wrap presents as you buy them.

If you put off wrapping until the last minute, you may be wrapping long into the night just to get all your presents wrapped. Many times when we get home from shopping, we are too tired to wrap but try to go ahead and wrap what you bought the next day.

7. Address your Christmas cards early so that if you are missing addresses, you have time to get them.

Keep a master list from year to year of addresses that you want to send a Christmas card to. That way you aren’t trying to remember who you sent cards to the previous year. If you address a few each day, it will be easier on you rather than trying to sit down and do 30-40 at one time. Hint: buy a self inking stamp with your return address on it to avoid writing your return address.

8. Plan your Christmas menu in advance.

Consult with everyone who will be bringing food to see what their specialty is and what dish or dishes they want to bring.

Keep a list of what each person is bringing so that when you talk to someone, you can give them the list of what other people are bringing. This will eliminate duplicate dishes.

Pro-Tip: If you let guests tell you what they want to bring instead of assigning them something, they will be more familiar with the dishes and their recipes.

9. Don’t overload your family’s holiday schedule.

Christmas is not just about presents and eating. If you overload your schedule, you will be busy running from one thing to another and won’t take the time to enjoy the real reason we celebrate Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ.

10. Take some time for yourself or your family to do something special.

From a Christmas movie at home with loved ones to a trip out of town to see a holiday display or attend a holiday event, do something fun.

Lady Cardinals earn opening night win

By Drew Wheeler Sports Editor

ADAMSVILLE – Adamsville split wins with South Gibson.

The Lady Cardinals outpaced South Gibson 48-35 in the first game of the night.

Adamsville used a pressureheavy, man-to-man defense and

forced turnovers left and right which translated to baskets.

Coach Chad Austin said the defense was part of the Lady Cardinals’ game plan.

“Our goal is always to pressure the ball and force turnovers,” said Austin. “We want them to throw skip passes we can pick off and take to the basket.”

Adamsville was led by junior Madison Hollin’s 13 points and seven rebounds.

Hollin and fellow junior Alexis Wynn have seen significant minutes for Adamsville the last two seasons at the post positions.

Wynn had nine points and eight rebounds in the game, many of which came from a se-

ries when the junior shot and pulled back her own rebound three consecutive times in the first quarter.

The Lady Cardinals’ deep bench served them well against South Gibson as six Adamsville players scored at least two bas-

TURNT HEBACK

CL CK 10 Years Ago: Adamsville got their seasons started in a big way a decade ago.

The Lady Cardinals upset Clarksburg 53-48 in the first game of the night, then the Cardinals cruised to a 75-46 win over the Rockets in the nightcap.

“Our intensity was real good to begin the game,” said AHS Head Coach Greg Martin.

20 Years Ago: You’ll recall one week ago discussing the Bobcats’ playoff matchup with Page High School from twenty years back?

McNairy Central High School suffered what may well be the closest loss in school football history, falling in the second round of the playoffs to Page 28-27 in overtime.

Page came from behind to beat the Bobcats on the last play of the game, a point-after kick.

30 Years Ago: McNairy Central had their Fall Sports Banquet thirty years ago.

Jamie Wolfe took golf honors after his district medalwinning, region runner-up and state tournament reaching season in 1987.

Ricky Windom was named the Bobcats’ football MVP. Windom and Tracy Miller earned first team All-District Awards, as well.

Multiple Bobcats were named to the second team.

(Turn Back the Clock is a feature in the Independent Appeal where Sports Editor Drew Wheeler touches on McNairy County sports headlines from 10, 20, and 30 years ago.)

McNairy takes two in Milan

By Drew Wheeler Sports Editor

MILAN – McNairy Central kicked the season off with a bang.

The Lady Bobcats (1-0, 0-0 in District 14-AA) burned Milan’s Lady Bulldogs 59-36 to get the evening started.

McNairy mounted a full-court press, forcing Milan into several turnovers.

The Lady Bulldogs would not reach double-digits in scoring until the 10-minute mark.

In addition to the defensive pressure, sophomore Khyla Wade-Warren jump-started her own 2017 campaign with a 24-point performance. After spending nearly all of her offseason with travel teams amassing tournament wins and championships, Wade-Warren went to work for MCHS. Wade-Warren scored 14 in the first half and added nine more after the half.

See MCHS, 2B

By Drew Wheeler Sports Editor

RAMER – Michie narrowly escaped Ramer.

The Lady Blue Devils earned a 26-23 win over the host Lady Eagles by the skin of their teeth.

Michie Head Coach Bridget Merry said her girls were “very excited” after the contest.

“This win is huge for us,” said Merry. “We did not win a single county game last year and we’ve got three under our belts right now.”

After heading into halftime with a 10-6 lead, Ramer came out of the locker room on fire. The Lady Eagles finally caught up to their rivals at 14-all with 2:10 left in the third period as Cayla Watson went three-for-four in the quarter for six points.

Going into the last six minutes of play, Ramer had pulled ahead 16-14.

The tension had a firm grasp on the L.G. Vaughan Gymnasium

and its inhabitants for the final quarter, the highest-scoring of the game.

Watson chipped in five of her game-high 13 points before fouling out in the fourth. Michie’s Sydney Julian gritted through a nasty fall to her right wrist and scored five of the Lady Blue Devils’ 12 in the quarter to lead the visiting team to victory.

“We’re so proud to have earned this win against a talented Ramer team,” said Merry.

(B) Ramer 51, Michie 27 Ramer got their revenge in the nightcap.

The Eagles flew over Michie 51-27 to continue the Highway 57 Rivalry.

Ramer outscored the Blue Devils 14-2 in the first quarter and Michie played catch-up the rest of the way.

The Blue Devils cut the lead to seven points going into halftime,

A total of 10 Lady Bobcats scored in the contest.

Mackenzie Parson and Hannah Hughes chipped in eight points each. Lainey Hensley scored six, while Alexis Moore and Emma Gray contributed four apiece.

The Lady Bobcats’ defensive effort and evenly-spread scoring early allowed them to open an early lead and never look back.

McNairy hosted Hardin County Tuesday after press time in their home opener.

(B) McNairy 72, Milan 54 The Bobcats followed the girls’ example in the nightcap.

McNairy (1-0, 0-0) leapt past Milan 72-54 to send McNairy home with two wins on the night.

McNairy Head Coach Stacy Riley essentially had a conveyor

belt of fresh players on and off of the Bobcat bench to establish pressure on the host team and keep his team energized.

Riley earned his first highschool coaching win in his initial game on the sideline for McNairy.

Josiah Sanders made a bit of his own history, scoring a careerhigh 27 points to lead the Bobcats in victory.

Sanders’ high of 27 was followed by Vennie White with 14.

Rondo Beard had 13. Tyler Johnson led Milan with 14 points.

McNairy leapt out on the opening tip and established a quick 16-5 lead over Milan. The Bulldogs would bite back, tying the game at 19-all in the second quarter. It would not help the host team’s cause as the Bobcats accelerated and kicked in 19 over the second period to take a 38-26 lead into halftime.

The Bobcats were slow out of

MES V. RES FROM PAGE 1B

but the Eagles had something different in mind for the second half.

The Eagles’ 14 point output in the first quarter was outdone by their 22-point third period.

Andrew Steward’s 12-point effort in the quarter was good to tie a team and game-high with teammate Eli Yopp.

Alex Moore led the way for Michie with 10 points. Eli Fowler had five.

Ramer were quick to snap up any loose balls and steal those the gates after the half and only scored nine in the third period, hanging on to their lead at 47-35.

The fourth quarter was the highest-scoring for both teams.

McNairy made good after their slow start, bumping Milan 28-19 in the last period to take a firm lead and the win.

Michie had in possession. The Eagles amassed six steals over the contest.

The result will weigh on the minds of the two teams headed into the Thanksgiving break.

“We really hoped for a win before our break,” said Michie Head Coach Michael Cleary. “We will have to practice hard and get back on the winning side.”

South Gibson shut down the Cardinal offense in the next period, holding Adamsville to 2-10 from the floor. The Hornet defense worked in transition and established a lead Adamsville could not come back from, leading 39-19 at halftime.

Adamsville hung with the Hornets in terms of third quarter scoring, but were again eclipsed in the final period of the night.

Connor Godwin led the Cardinals with 10 points. Tucker Case was not far behind with eight.

Selmer Middle School honors Veterans

Submitted Photo

On Thursday, November 9, 2017, Selmer Middle School held a student-led assembly for veterans in recognition of Veteran’s Day. Initially, Bailey Whitley welcomed veterans to the school. The program consisted of a slide show, the Pledge of Allegiance, Star Spangled Banner, and patriotic songs by the SMS chorus. Annalee Freeman recognized veterans by name, rank, and branch of service. The American Legion contributed to the program with the march of flags. Zoe Burnett sang “God Bless America,” and the program concluded with “Taps” played by Lily O’Neal. A fellowship followed, as veterans were offered cookies, punch, and thank you cards with student artwork by Jacob Timbs. Selmer Middle School would like to thank every veteran for his/her sacrifice, which enables us to attend school, church, and walk our city streets safely.

Halloween studies at BSES

Pre-K Character Pumpkins

2nd Grade Study Pumpkins

Mrs. Katie Brown’s PreK-4 at Bethel Springs Elementary designed book character pumpkins. They read a book with their parents and then decorated the pumpkin to look like a character from the book. The students enjoyed the experience and produced quality work.

Second grade students in Mrs. Julia Smith’s class at BSES celebrated Halloween learning about pumpkins. They studied the life cycle of pumpkins and compared them to other fruits. Students enjoyed carving a jack-o-lantern, then counted the seeds, roasted and ate them to end the lesson.

Surratt named to Order of Gownsmen at Sewannee

Submitted Photo

Miss Tori Beth Surratt, a 2016 graduate of Adamsville High School, was recently inducted into the Order of the Gownsmen, Sewanee’s most prestigious honor society. She was one of 275 students at Sewanee to receive this honor. The Order of the Gownsmen serves two purposes on campus. It is the academic honor society for the college, with many privileges bestowed upon the Gownsmen. These include early course registration and room selection. Gownsmen also earn the distinction of wearing their black academic gowns to class. The Order also serves as a part of the student government. Tori is the daughter of Tim and Wendy Surratt of Stantonville, Tennessee.
