‘Bad Blood’ fills SHHS gym
Fight fans and SHHS Football supporters filled the Scotts Hill High School gymnasium Saturday night as Jackson Area Mixed Martial Arts (JAMMA) hosted “Bad
Blood” to raise money for the SHHS football program. The fight card showcased
mixed martial arts fighters from across West Tennessee and raised about $1,700 for
the football program. Even the SHHS Cheerleaders got in on the program, serving
as ring girls for the bouts.

Tigers advance with 31-8
win over Spring Hill, will
host Page Friday night
To Big Red fans, it might have looked like Lexington Tiger head coach Bryant Hollingsworth was
reading his team the riot act just before the start
of the third quarter. But what he was really doing
was telling them not to let up.
“I was just telling them that we had to be a twohalf team and not to let up,” Hollingsworth said.
And they listened, eventually beating Spring Hill
31-8 on the road in the first round of the TSSAA
state playoffs Friday night in Columbia.
The Tiger defense held Spring Hill to three first
downs and 88 yards of total offense, while the Big
Red offensive line dominated the trenches as LHS
amassed 415 yards on the ground and 57 yards
through the air in the win.
Two Tigers rushed for 100-plus yards, and two
more came close. Senior FB Tylon Brown had 144
yards on 21 carries and a touchdown. Senior QB
Stu Jones had 126 yards on 13 carries and a TD.
Deshun Kizer carried 16 times for 72 yards and a
score and Bryson Carver had 70 yards on eight
carries. Russ Henderson caught two passes for 48
yards and a touchdown and Brown had one catch
for nine yards. Jones was 3-of-4 passing for 57
yards and a TD. He also had one interception on
defense.

Five busted in 2nd meth lab bust It’s that most wonderful time. . .
The old saying about
lightning never striking
twice evidently doesn’t
apply to meth labs, because Monday, Lexington/Henderson County
Narcotics investigators
busted a second meth
lab in the same location as one they dismantled earlier this
year.
Investigator Daniel
Stoneburner said five
people are facing felony
charges in connection
with an operating lab
investigators found on
Old Reagan Road Monday.
“We were following
up on an investigation
of possible meth activity at 3453 Old Reagan
Road,”
Stoneburner
said, “and the owner,
Logan Brasher, gave
consent for us to
search the premises
where we found not
only chemicals and
equipment used to
manufacture methamphetamine but also an
operable cooking lab.”
Stoneburner said no
warrant was issued or
served in the investigation.
“We just asked permission to search and
he gave it,” Stoneburner said. “You could
smell the lab from the
yard, so I guess he
knew we were going to
come in at some point
either way and it was
just easier to go ahead
and let us in.”
Stoneburner
said
Brasher, 62, of 3463
Old Reagan Road,
Sardis; Dewayne Lee
Lancaster, 43, 3439
Liberty Road, Scotts
Hill; Yolanda Kay Lancaster/Dill/Tanksley,
37, 3439 Liberty Road,
Scotts
Hill;
Allen
Shane Flanagan, 38,
800 New Flanagan
Road, Lexington and
John Patrick Flanagan,
27, 384 Juno Road,
Lexington, were all
charged with initiating
a process to manufacture
methamphetamine in relation to the
bust.
Stoneburner added
that narcotics investigators also busted an
operable lab at the
same location earlier
this year.
“I don’t remember
the date exactly. I
think it was in June,
but we have already
busted one operating
lab at this same residence
this
year,”
Stoneburner said. “So
this makes two times
that we’ve had to call
in a HAZ-MAT team to
clean up this same location.”

Isn’t it great?
The leaves are falling.
The air is getting
brisk.
There’s the smell of
woodsmoke
in
the
morning air.
And children and
adults alike are counting down the days to
some exciting (and very
near) future date.
For some it’s Thanksgiving, with friends,
family, food, football
and more.
For others it’s hunting season (those that
haven’t begun already,
at least.)
For more it’s Christmas, and all the promise and wonder it
beholds.
And I like all those
too.
But, as you may have
guessed by now, for me
this fall brings with it a
special kind of anticipation that you just don’t
get every year.
You get it every four
years!
That’s right, the next
county election season
is upon us!
And I couldn’t be happier!
The buzz has already
begun. I can hardly get
through a conversation
without answering or
asking questions like:
“Which names are
you hearing for this position, or that?”
Or:
“Do you really think
so-and-so
will
run
(again)?”
And as the first day
for candidates to pick
up petitions nears the
talk quickens, the rumors gather steam and
the excitement grows,
at least for those of us
who take an interest.
If you remember, not
too long ago I told you
to get ready for this one.
I mentioned that
there are some unique
issues that our county
is facing that we all
need to know the candidates’ stance on before
we cast our ballots.
And with the opening
bell just days away, I’m
back to ask for your
help in getting the word
out about where candidates are going to come
down on issues that
matter to all of us who
live here.
So, if you would, take
a minute or two to
think about what you
think is important in
this election.
Is it finding a way to
raise our deputies’ pay
scales so we don’t lose
so many officers?
Is it ensuring that our
tax dollars are being
spent as wisely as possible
during
these
tough economic times?
Is it ensuring that all
county employees are
treated equally when it
comes to benefits?
Decide what you
think is important.
Think of one or two
questions you’d like a
candidate, or candidates to ask.
And get them to me.
It doesn’t have to be
right now. But don’t
wait too long.
Let me know what
you want to know, and
I’ll start asking and putting the answers I get
right here so we can all
make an informed decision in the 2010 County
Election.
Got something to say? Let’s hear it!

with illegal registration
or voting in early September, during early
voting for the Lexington
election.
Grissom and Anthony
Earl Brunt, 53, of 1500
Center Hill Loop, Reagan also were both
charged with conspiracy
to commit illegal registration or voting at that
time.
Beal dismissed the
charges against Brunt
last week, along with
those of Joyce Faye Fiddler, 49.
It is unclear whether
the conspiracy charges
against Grissom will be
carried forward to the
grand jury when it convenes in February, since
the charges against
Brunt were dismissed.
The five remaining
suspects will next appear in a Henderson
County courtroom on
Feb. 22, 2010 after the
next quarterly meeting
of the grand jury on
Feb.12.
The arrests sparked
an investigation that
grew to involve both the
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the FBI.
To date, no other arrests have been made in
connection with the investigation and no additional information has
been released by either
agency.
The cases against
Brunt and Williams
could still be presented
to to grand jury in February or even a federal
grand jury at a later
date, but no agency has
confirmed that intent.

Administrator of Elections Dan Miller said
the qualifying deadline
for all races is Noon,
Feb. 18, 2010.
“Anyone running for
any of those offices,
whether they are running as a Republican
candidate or as a member of another party, or
independent has to file
their petition or qualify-
ing papers by that
deadline,” Miller said.
Candidates for Sheriff
also have to file all of
their
documentation
with the POST commission no later than Feb.
4, 2010 in order to successfully qualify to run
for office.
The deadline for anyone wishing to register
to vote in the primary is
April 5, 2010.
Voters may register
by mail or in person at
the Election Commission Office on Natchez
Trace Drive.
The office’s regular
business hours are
Monday through Friday
from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Miller said early voting will begin on April
14 and run through
April 29.
The election commission office will add Saturday
hours
to
accommodate voters at
that time.
November tapped National Home Care Month
More than 11 million
Americans receive homedelivered health care from
home care providers. In
their honor, Regional
Home Care of Lexington
joins the National Association for Home Care & Hospice
in
celebrating
November as National
Home Care Month.
“Caring for the sick, elderly, chronically ill and
those recovering from a recent hospital stay is a privilege and a passion of
ours,” says Doris Walker,
RN, administrator of Regional Home Care of Lexington. “Home health care
professionals and volunteers working with modern
medicine make it possible
for people to receive a
broad array of health care
services in the comfort of
their own homes.”
Through technological
advances, home-delivered
health care has grown far
beyond basic professional
nursing and home care
aide services.
Today’s
modern home care agency
offers a wealth of nursing,
physical,
occupational,
respiratory and speech
therapies, counseling, dietary, laboratory, pharmacy, medical equipment
and home medical supplies, and personal care.
Home care services are
paid for by public and private sources, or directly by
patients and their families.
Third-party payers include
commercial
insurance,
managed care organizations, CHAMPUS, and
workers’ compensation.
Medicare and state-run
Medicaid are significant
payers, often driving the
payment agenda for commercial insurance. Despite
massive cutbacks in government funding, home
care continues to be the
preferred means of receiving quality health care
services for millions of
Americans.
Regional Home Care of
Lexington acts as a Partner in Care with other
community-based health
care providers to deliver
comprehensive in-home
health and supportive
services to home care patients to maximize the
health and independence
of all who qualify for and
desire home-based health
care services. Our team offers nursing, physical
therapy, speech therapy,
social services and certified nursing assistants.

Administrator at 731-9681860.

managed
just
one
touchdown, set up by a
fluke kickoff return to
the LHS 2-yard line
midway through the
fourth quarter.
LHS made the most of
the game’s opening possession, driving 78
yards in 11 plays and
taking an early lead on
senior QB Stu Jones’ 2yard run. Kolby Chambers’ extra point put the
Tigers up 7-0 with
seven minutes to play
in the opening quarter.
As if the offense
hadn’t set the tone for
the game, the Big Red
defense showed that it
came to play too. After
allowing one pass play
for a 19-yard gain, the
Big Red defense shut
the Raiders down for
the remainder of the
half.
Chambers added to
the lead on LHS’s next
possession with a 36-
yard field goal to put
the Tigers up 10-0 at
the 9:14 mark of the
second quarter. Chambers’ trifecta was set up
on solid runs by Jones
and a 33-yard run from
Brown that put the
Tigers in field goal position.
The Big Red defensive
line dominated Spring
Hill once again on the
next series, forcing the
Raiders to punt after
three plays. A 42-yard
punt forced the Tigers
to take over at their own
23-yard line.
LHS responded with
Brown’s 17-yard run on
the second play of the
drive pushed the Tigers
to their own 45-yard
line. Three plays later
Jones broke off a 48yard run down to the
Spring Hill 12. The run
put Jones over 100
yards for the half and,
two plays after that,
LHS QB Stu Jones hands off to FB Tylon Brown as the Big Red offensive line plows
through the Spring Hill defense during first-round playoff action in Columbia last
Friday. The Tigers rolled to a 31-8 victory behind dominant play from both the offensive and defensive lines. LHS racked up 472 yards of total offense while giving up just
88 yards to the Raiders. LHS plays host to the Page Patriots at 7 p.m. Friday night in
second round action.

halftime wasn’t enough
for the Tiger defense to
show any sign of a
letup. LHS shut down
the Raiders again after
the Tiger defensive line
pressured Raider QB
Broc Loveless into another
three-and-out.
Spring Hill attempted to
convert on fourth and
four, but senior CB
Drew Latham stuffed a
pitch for a 6-yard loss,
giving the Tigers possession and three minutes to work with before
halftime.
The Tigers didn’t
score again until 11:08
to play in the game
when Brown punched
in a 2-yard run. Cham-
bers’
extra
point
pushed the Tiger lead to
24-0.
As if things weren’t
already pear shaped
enough
for
them,
Spring Hill fumbled a
lateral pass on the first
play of their next possession, only to watch
LHS’ Bryson Carver recover it at the Raider
44-yard
line.
The
turnover led to the Big
Red’s 13-play drive that
ended with Deshun
Kizer’s 3-yard run.
Chambers added the
extra point to boost the
Tigers’ lead to 31-0
midway through the
fourth quarter.

Beech River Museum and Culture Center news
By Dian McGuire
Museum Director
The Museum board met
again last week to finalize
plans for the Christmas
float. We continue to look
for labor to support us in
our endeavor. Call me at
the Museum if you would
like to participate.
We need red and blue
Christmas
lights,
and
could use a donation of an
old Christmas tree. If you
want to get rid of anything
fitting this description give
us a call and we will come
by and pick it up.
In additional news Mrs.
Heissig (right) came in Saturday and brought books
from her fathers library.
We are now in possession
of several books written
prior to 1899. They are
very old, fragile and valuable and are quite histori cal
in
nature.
Mrs.
Heissing's father was Dr.
Wiley originally hailing
from the Scotts Hill com-
munity before building his
medical practice in Jackson. We also had a wonder ful opportunity to view
a couple of very old chain
saws owned by Mr. Pratt of
Middelburg.
These were
the type of chain saws that
took two men (strong men)
to handle.
They were estimated at
70 years old. We always
appreciate seeing industrial antiques and regret
not being able to display
them all.
