This week begins the official Name the Bronze Man contest. And someone is going to win $100!
The bronze, ‘Man Reading the Newspaper’ now makes his home at the Mini-Park in downtown Humboldt.
Eight sponsors are opening the contest to Chronicle readers, with hopes of finding the perfect name for Humboldt’s bronze. Among the sponsors are the Downtown Merchants Association, Mayor Allen Barker, Humboldt Chamber of Commerce, First State Bank, Regions Bank, BancorpSouth, The Bank of Humboldt and the Humboldt Chronicle.
The possibilities are endless. The bronze’s name might tie him in with Humboldt history, the legacy of the Strawberry Festival, a play on his situation or location.
The contest details and the entry form are on page 10A this week. Suggestions for the bronze man’s name will be accepted through the business day August 13. All the entries will be published August 18 and the winner will be announced August 25.
The contest entry can be mailed to P.O. Box 448, Humboldt, TN 38343 or emailed to [email protected] or brought by the Chronicle office at 2606 East End Drive in Humboldt. Those with suggestions are encouraged to enter as many times as they like.
The bronze, Man Reading the Newspaper, at the Mini-Park was made possible by private donations. A companion bronze featuring three playful children, Dance with Me, is also being purchased for the park. Anyone wishing to help may contact the mayor’s office at 784-2511.
Someone in Humboldt may know something or be implicated in a 32-year old Iowa murder.
Last week, three investigators from the states of Iowa and South Dakota were in Humboldt investigating a 32-year old cold case homicide.
“For them to send three investigators this far, it could be something significant,” said Humboldt Assistant Chief Bill Baker.
Wilma June Nissen’s decomposed body was found in a roadside ditch near Lake Pahoja in western Lyon County, Iowa in 1978. Investigators are hoping that new technology will assist them in finding new evidence in the case.
Cold casemurder has leadslocally
Humboldt police are continuing this week to investigate armed robberies at the Shoe Show and the Cash and Dash to determine if the suspects in the robberies are connected.
“They do have many similarities and we are investigating to see if they are connected,” said HPD Assistant Chief Bill Baker.
On Friday, July 30, at 9:20 a.m., Humboldt police responded to an aggravated robbery complaint at the Cash And Dash business located a 2829 East End Drive.
One week prior, on July 23, at 10:49 a.m., Humboldt police responded to an armed robbery complaint at the Shoe Show, a shoe store located at 2718 Central Avenue.

When Shirley Williams went looking for her muse, she didn’t travel far.
The nursing home administrator found her muse in her workplace and crafted a fictional account of a 49-year-old accident victim who requires total care and has no hope of improving.
The book, Peaceful Meadows, was recently published after five years of work.
“While this book would be of interest to almost everyone, it is dedicated to the staff and especially to the caregivers who work in nursing homes. It is about a new
resident, Amanda Blackwell, and her interactions, both good and bad, with her caregivers,” Williams said.
She wrote the book with hopes to create a teaching and training tool for all workers in nursing homes, assisted living homes and similar type settings.
Williams says it was written with the intention of getting healthcare workers to put themselves in the position of the residents and patients and really think about the care they are providing even if the resident is unable to communicate with them.
“It does not ‘sugar-coat’ the nursing

Election Day is finally here this week. Dozens of candidates have thrown their names in the hat seeking various positions.
For the most part, the local county candidates have run a clean race through newspaper advertisements. Republican candidates seeking the governor’s seat and the 8th Congressional District have waged more aggressive campaigns. Many voters say these
“mud-slinging” style advertisements are a turn off and do not sway their vote whatsoever.
According to Molly Bailey with the Gibson County Election Commission, early voting ended Saturday at noon. A larger than usual number voted early this year. Bailey estimated almost 3,000 took advantage of early voting.
Here in Gibson County voters have the chance to select dozens of candidates
for office. These include both Democratic and Republican primaries for certain seats. For the county, the General Election will decide who takes office
as county mayor and commissioners. The $35 wheel tax increase question is also on the county ballot.
In the Republican primary, Bill Haslam, Ron Ramsey
and Zach Wamp are the front-runners for governor. Democrat Mike McWherter is running unopposed.
SIGNS OF THE TIME - It’s impossible not to know Election Day is coming up soon.

BONGARDS SIGN – A worker installs the new sign on the front of Bongards’ Creameries located on the Hwy 45 Bypass in Humboldt. Bongards is located in the former ACH building with hopes to start production soon. For the 8th Congressional
District, Democrat Roy Herron is unopposed while Stephen Fincher, George Flinn and Ron Kirkland are the front-runners for the Republican nomination.
Don McLeary and Jim Harding square off for the Republican nomination for state senator. The winner will face-off against Democrat Lowe Finney in November’s General Election.
Republican Curtis Halford and Democrat Joe Shepard are sole candidates seeking their party’s nomination for state representative and will square off in November.
Gibson County voters will elect a new county mayor this week. Independent Tim Luckey, Democrat Tom “Spoon” Witherspoon and Republican Mark Renfroe are seeking the mayor’s office.
Sheriff Chuck Arnold will serve another term since there is no opposition for the sheriff’s seat.
Republican Andy Elliott is
seeking to unseat incumbent Democrat Hilda Patterson as register of deeds.
The county clerk’s office will have a new face with Democrat Joyce Brooks-Brown being challenged by Independent Mark Tell Carlton.
Democrat Janice Jones is running unopposed for circuit court clerk while Independent candidate
Leanne Smith is unopposed for trustee.
Numerous county commissioner seats are up for grabs. There will be eight to 10 new faces on the commission after the election.
Several constable positions will be filled as well as various school board trustee positions across the county.
Bongards’ Creameries hung up their shingle in Humboldt recently.
The company, which is headquartered in Bongards, Minnesota, purchased the ACH facility in Humboldt March 17.
The creameries have operations in two cities in Minnesota; Bongards
Investigators traveled to Humboldt where they interviewed persons and gathered evidence, Baker said. They have now returned to Iowa to evaluate the evidence and work on the case.
No other details of the Humboldt visit were available for publication.
According to flyers from the Lyon County Sheriff’s Department, Wilma Nissen
also went by the last names of Wellington, Pizzaro and Belt. She also used the name of Amy at times instead of Wilma. She was living California prior to moving to Atlanta before her disappearance. From the time her body was discovered in 1978, she was known only as Jane Doe until her remains were positively identified in 2006. Her body was exhumed in 2007 for further examination leading to new evidence.

At the Cash and Dash, witnesses told police that a suspect entered the business armed with a knife and demanded money. At the Shoe Show, the clerk told police that a lone suspect entered the store, threatened her with a knife and demanded the money from the register.
Both suspects left on foot without injurying their victims.
The Cash and Dash suspect was described as a white male, approximately
6-foot tall, medium build, mustache, dark graying hair and wearing black cap, black t-shirt with an orange design and blue jeans.
The Shoe Show suspect was described as a white male, approximately 5’6” tall, dark hair, late 30s or early 40s and wearing a black or dark colored jacket, dark colored cap and blue jean shorts.

home environment,” Williams assures.
Indeed, the reader is compelled by the interactions between residents and the caregivers on an hour to hour, day to day basis. Parts may seem controversial, but Williams says that points out that nursing homes are not perfect. “But we can make nursing homes better,” she
asserts.“I want to get the staffs to
look at residents as human beings, deserving of good care and dignity,” Williams said.
She has been administrator at Humboldt Nursing Home the past eight years and has been in the long term care setting the past 16 years.
The book has a surprise near the end. The short read is filled with real life dilemmas and episodes that
could happen in any long term care facility.
With its emphasis on the patient as a human being, the book should be a must read for anyone thinking of a career in a nursing home environment.
“The people who read this book will not be able to forget the words and thoughts of the main character as they go about their day caring for their residents,” Williams says.
North, Bongards Central and Humboldt will now be known as Bongards South.
In business since 1908, they currently produce over 350 different products including a full line of cheese products.
Current plans for Humboldt include shredded cheeses, five lb. loaves of
cheese, processed American slices and perhaps even some of the old ACH line of products as well.
For all FDA regulations to be met, there will be some plant construction going on in and outside the Humboldt facility. Bongards South currently employs 18 people and more will be added.

Hard Work, Good Ideas and Determination . . .
That’s What Gibson County Needs Now!
For the last decade we have watched as company after company has left our county taking hard working people’s jobs and our tax base with them and the only time it is discussed is when an election rolls around. With Gibson County’s unemployment rate at nearly twice the national average, industrial development and job creation should be at the top of our lists, not just at election time but ALL the time. Will it be easy? Of course not, but then again name one worthwhile accomplishment in our lives that was easy. It won’t be easy, but it will be impossible if we don’t try.

Here’s something interesting I ran across the other day. Two brothers, one a minister who teaches religious studies in college and the other an eating behavior scientist from Cornell University, teamed up recently to evaluate the amount of food depicted in the various paintings of The Last Supper produced over the last 1,000 years. Their thinking was that since the Bible makes scant mention of what was served, other than bread and wine, looking at what artists had added to the table over the centuries might tell us something about food customs and practices of the artists’ eras. Although the painting depicts a meal, the food on the table is incidental, therefore, the brothers speculate, religious philosophies would not influence what the artists painted in that regard.
What the artists would have put on canvas, the researchers decided, were their observations of what, and how, people ate at the times and places where the various paintings were produced.
They settled on head size as a reference point because although people have gotten taller and heavier over the last 1,000 years, head size is relatively unchanged. They then scanned 52 of the best-known paintings of The Last Supper and compared the portion sizes and amounts of food on the tables relative to the average apostle’s head size.
Surprisingly, or perhaps not, they found that the amount of food on the table has grown progressively over the last millennium. The size of the bread on the table is now 23-percent larger than it was when first painted. The plates are 66-percent larger and the main courses are 69-percent bigger.
The variety of food on the table has also increased. The Bible mentions only bread and wine, but over the centuries artists have added all sorts of foods — oranges, fish, eels, rabbits, lamb and even pork.
Fish is the most popular entree found on the paintings. Eighteen percent of the canvases feature it. This, of course, makes sense in view of the symbolism of fish in early Christianity, and Jesus told his disciples to go out and become “fishers of men.”
And we can probably make a pretty good guess as to why 14-percent of the artists showed lamb on the table, but how do you explain the 7-percent who chose to have pork served. It’s hard to figure what the artists who did that were thinking.
But the point is that over the last 1,000 years the trend has been toward more food on the table.
Some things don’t change, do they? We’re still adding
In a 3-0 decision, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Washington, DC, ruled that the National Motto, “In God We Trust,” is constitutional and does not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Quoting the 1970 decision in Aronow v. United States, the Court wrote: “It is quite obvious that the national motto and slogan on coinage and currency ‘In God We Trust’ has nothing whatsoever to do with the establishment of religion.”
Judges David B. Sentelle, Karen L. Henderson, and David S. Tatel cited four cases in their succinct ruling. In each case, “In God We Trust” has been upheld against constitutional challenges. One of the precedents cited by the Court of Appeals comes from the 1996 opinion in Gaylor v. United States, which says: “[T]he statutes establishing ‘In God We Trust’ as our national motto and providing for its reproduction on United States currency do not violate the Establishment Clause.” The case began when an atheist from Texas, Carlos Kidd, filed suit in the Federal District Court in the District of Columbia. The District Court wrote: “Courts have consistently held that the phrase ‘In God We Trust’ does not violate the Establishment Clause.” Kidd then appealed and lost again.
Dear Editor:Agriculture and farming are the number one industries
in Congressional District 8. Agriculture accounts for 10.5-percent of the state’s economy and generates $51.4 billion in output. The communities of this district are rewarded when agriculturalists and farmers buy supplies and equipment, sell their crops, deposit funds in banks, pay taxes and contribute greatly to the economy in the communities of this district. What would happen should agriculture leave these counties? It disturbs me there is so much anti-farmer talk in this election cycle.
Agriculture is not immune from suffering the same future that the textile industry faced several years ago. Our food and fiber production could leave this country. The cost of agricultural production in the United States is high. Farmers overcome that high cost with efficiency. But, farm program payments also hedge against the cost of production in this country. When farmers receive farm payments, it is not pure profit as some would lead you to believe. There are production expenses that must be paid to their lender, bills to their farm supply store and the list could continue. A recent survey showed the average net farm income from 2002 – 2006 of a Tennessee grain farmer was $40,722 and that included farm payments. That is a long way from millions of dollars of profits.
Farm payments help farm production to stay in this country. The consumer is rewarded through lower food prices and a safely grown food supply. Let’s keep our food and fiber production in the United States. Our food supply is a matter of national security. I can do without many of the material things I want, but protection of our food supply is crucial. Demand that your food be produced here and not somewhere outside this country
Are you friendly to people? Do you speak to people you do not know?
My Mama and Daddy said that even as a small child, I would go up to anyone and start talking.
I started my work career in department stores at age 16. At work I would talk to everyone that came in. Does it hurt to be friendly? I say, no. When I go into a store, of any kind, I want the people that work there to be nice and friendly to me, so I try to be nice and friendly to them.
There’s one store here in Humboldt that my grandson and I went into a few years ago. The ones that worked there never said a thing to us, or offered to help us find what we were looking to buy. We walked out and I have not been back to that business.
Be nice to others, know them or not, it doesn’t hurt to be nice. It might, just might, give you a very good feeling.
One morning as Dan and I were waiting at the doctor’s office, this little lade was waiting in a chair beside us. We spoke to her. The little lady started talking to me. After a while, she asked me if I was rich. I laughed and said no, but then I said yes I am, but not in money. I said, I have a good husband, three children, five grandchildren, and people like you around me. So, yes, I am rich.
You never know, when being nice to someone, just how much good you may have done for them, and, as a result, for yourself.
Looking back a few score years as I am wont to do, for some unknown reason I thought of - mules.
As with most small towns Medina had a ‘livery stable’ or sometimes referred to - a ‘mule barn’.
It lasted until WW II when was rebuilt as a pool hall. If my memory is correct, Columbia, Tenn. was the mule center in Tennessee and Missouri was the mule state. Following my curiosity, entering “mules” in Google and there was more information than I could ever absorb. I was not surprised to learn that the most significant hybrid in human history is the cross between horses and donkeys. As most seniors already know, breeding a male donkey to a female horse results in a mule; breeding a male horse to a female donkey produces a hinny. These offspring are nearly 100-percent sterile. Mules were once used to pull fire fighting equipment and armies used them to pull artillery and remove wounded from the battlefield. An American legend is the 20-mule teams that hauled borax from Death Valley and other mining centers in the West. (Does anyone else recall the radio show Death Valley Days ?) And the expression “40 acres and a mule” referred to all one needed for self-sufficiency. Mules have a unique voice, trying to imitate the donkey bray that results in a combination of the horse’s whinny and the grunting of a bray - sort of ‘whinnee-aw-ah-aw. Mules come in every size and shape imaginable. Minautres are under 36” and can be seen up to 17 hand draft mules. Horse mule is the proper term for the male mule and they should be gelded as are sterile. Another term for the male is a john mule. Mare mule is the proper term for the female, although the popular term is molly mule.
Contrary to the expression, mules are not really stubborn. They can seem lazy, but will not put themselves in danger. A horse can be worked till it drops, but not so a mule. The ‘stubborn’ streak is just the mule’s way of telling humans that things are not right. Mules are actually very intelligent and it’s not a good idea to abuse a mule. They can be counted on to do their best for their owner, with the utmost patience.
One of the hardest working tenant farmers I ever knew attained very few material possessions. He and his wife never had children, but he owned a pair of white matched mules and he was so very proud of them.
How did mules come to the USA ? Historians tell us the King of Spain presented George Washington a large black jack in 1785. Named “Royal Gift” this animal is considered the father of the mule industry in the United States.
Thousands of issues of old newspapers from across Tennessee will be available to the public online, courtesy of the Tennessee State Library and Archives.
Using grant funding provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities as part of the National Digital Newspaper Program, the State Library and Archives will make available dozens of urban and rural newspapers from across the state.
The State Library and Archives, which is part of the Tennessee Department of State, has been preserving newspapers on microfilm since 1957. The two-year process of converting those microfilmed documents into digital records will be managed by the University of Tennessee.
Eventually, the digital images of Tennessee newspapers will be part of the Chronicling of America website: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/.
“We are delighted to be a part of this project,” Secretary of State Tre Hargett said. “Going digital will enable us to put these wonderful historic sources directly onto computer screens in Tennessee homes and schools. Tennesseans will gain an even greater sense of our history when they read these first-hand newspaper accounts.”
The State Library and Archives’ vast collection of old newspapers is stored on some 20,000 rolls of microfilm negatives. The collection includes newspapers dating back to 1791, when The Knoxville Gazette was founded as the state’s first newspaper.
This phase of the project will focus on newspapers from 1836 through 1922, involving approximately 2,500 microfilm rolls from the collection.

calories to our diets. If you cook much at all, you’re familiar with the cookbook,
The Joy of Cooking. First published in 1936, it is my favorite cookbook, the one I would keep if I could keep only one, but each time it is revised (about every 10 years) recommended portion sizes get bigger. So much so that the average calorie count per serving in the latest edition is 63-percent greater than what it was in the original.
Portion distortion. Apparently it’s been going on at least a thousand years, but it has really accelerated in the last 30 or 40. Thirty years ago a bagel was three inches across and had about 140 calories in it. Today they are more like six inches across and contain about 350 calories. Coffee? We used to get it in eight ounce cups and add nothing more than cream and sugar. Today the prices of fancy coffee drinks aren’t the only outrageous things about them. The calorie counts are in the stratosphere too.
How about colas? Just two words will suffice — Double Gulp, at 64 ounces and nearly 800 calories, it is about ten times larger than the original Coca-Cola.
Remember McDonald’s when they first opened? They only had one size of fries then. They still have that size. They call it “small.” It’s only one third the size of their largest offering.
Beer and chocolate also once came in one size only, again a size as small, or smaller, than the smallest size available today.
Everywhere you look, food vendors are offering larger and larger amounts of foods. Even diet food companies advertise products like Lean Cuisine and Weight Watchers’ dinners in larger meal sizes.
In spite of all this, and a thousand other examples, and a mountain of evidence about portion control and how it is completely out of control, an amazing 78-percent of Americans surveyed recently claim to believe that eating certain types of foods and avoiding others was more important in weight management than eating less food would be. And the researchers also found, distressingly, that there is an increasing American trend to simply ignore the issue of portion size. As a matter of fact, recent studies show an increasing percentage of us say large portion size is one of the main things we look for in a restaurant.
But we haven’t even noticed that restaurant plates, which used to be standardized at 10 ½ inches, are now a foot across. Or that throughout the supermarket, the size of food packaging and suggested portion sizes have increased steadily over the last 30 years.
Just like our waistlines. And we still wonder why! Being friendly doesn’thurt one little bit
“In God We Trust” became the National Motto in 1956. Passed during the Cold War, the Congressional Record states: “In these days when imperialistic and materialistic Communism seeks to attack and destroy freedom, it is proper [to] remind all of us of this self-evident truth [that] as long as this country trusts in God, it will prevail.” The phrase appears in the final stanza of The Star-Spangled Banner, written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key, which later became the National Anthem (“And this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust’”). A law in 1865 allowed the motto to be used on coinage. In 1908 most coins were required to carry the motto. The penny and nickel were later included in 1938, and from that time to the present all coins have been required to carry the motto. “In God We Trust” is the National Motto and the State Motto for Florida. It is also the motto for Nicaragua.
Mathew Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, commented: “The National Motto, ‘In God We Trust,’ is obviously constitutional. The First Amendment was never meant to erase from history references to God or public acknowledgments of God.”

where we cannot trust how it is grown and handled. Remember what happened to fuel prices because of imported oil, the same could happen with food.
Farm programs promote both food stability and security. The programs protect US consumers from high prices and US farmers from crashing prices. Farm programs also enable our country to independently produce our own basic food supply and this is crucial in food security.

On July 19, Humboldt police found drugs and related items in a residence on N. 20th Avenue while executing a search warrant. Sean Derrick Curtis, age 40 of Humboldt was charged with possession of Schedule VI controlled substance (marijuana) and possession of drug paraphernalia. Curtis was transferred to the Gibson County Correctional Complex at Trenton.
On July 21, Humboldt police responded to a complaint on Maple Circle concerning an adult entering a residence and then inappropriately touching a 17-year old female. The investigation led to the arrest of Jonathan Michael Williams, age 20, of Jackson. He is charged with aggravated burglary, sexual battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Williams was transferred to the Gibson County Correctional Complex.
Shots fired, burglaries and thefts resulted in arrests last week, according to Gibson County Sheriff Chuck Arnold.
During the night of July 26, Gibson County deputies responded to a disturbance call with shots fired at Shady Hill Trailer Park Lot 25B.
Witnesses at the scene advised that Charles Adrian Cato, 21 and Joseph A. Pierson, 22, had been at the residence causing a disturbance and arguing over money. As the disturbance moved to the yard, shots were allegedly fired toward the victim. Gibson County investigators were called to the scene.
Deputies later located the pair at 265 Trenton Highway, Humboldt. They were taken into custody without incident and transported to the Gibson County Correctional Complex. Held under $25,000 bond, Cato, of 265 Trenton Highway, Humboldt, and Pierson, of 28 Mt. Orange Road, Trenton, were charged with aggravated assault and two counts of reckless endangerment. An appearance date has been set for August 3 in Gibson County General Sessions Court at Trenton. Arrest made in burglariesAn arrest has been made
in connection with recent burglaries on Leslie Scruggs Road near Humboldt and Gravette Crossing West near Rutherford.
Sheriff’s deputies and investigators following leads
in the cases found a person of interest in possession of some of the missing property. The stolen items recovered from a vehicle at 444 Old Trenton Eaton Road, Trenton, included weed eaters, pressure washers, and a chain saw.
As a result of the investigation, investigators have charged Christopher Neal Medlin, 32, with two counts of burglary and two counts of theft over $500. He is held in the Gibson Co. Correctional Complex under $20,000 bond. A preliminary hearing has been set in Gibson County General Sessions Court for August 10 in Trenton and August 11 in Humboldt.
Arkansas man charged An Arkansas man is
facing theft charges after Gibson Co. Deputies were called to 24 Duke Road near Humboldt to investigate a theft complaint.
Witnesses at the scene advised two people forcibly broke the lock and entered a storage building behind the residence. Reportedly, the pair loaded a 1993 Honda 125 dirt bike into a gold Chevrolet 4x4 truck and left the location.
Deputies put out a broadcast and the truck was found in Dyer County. The suspects were returned to Gibson County. Carl Wayne Ashley, 37, of 911 Parker St., Jonesboro, Ark. is charged with theft of property and driving offenses. He is held under $25,000 bond with a preliminary hearing set August 18 in Gibson Co. General Sessions Court at Humboldt.
The other suspect in the matter was found to be a juvenile and was turned over to Gibson County Juvenile Court with charges pending.
Humboldt’s mayor and board of aldermen met last week and accepted the resignation of a longtime policeman while honoring a 30-year firefighter.
Hilliard Hunt was recognized by the city board for his 30 years of service to the Humboldt Fire Department. He retired earlier this year and a retirement dinner was held. Gifts were presented Monday night.
Bruce Dodd resigned the Humboldt Police Department announcing his retirement to the city board last week. Dodd has been with the department the past 22 years.
In other business, the city approved the application for a Safety Partners matching grant, total $4,000 with the city paying $2,000. The grant, from the city’s insurers, the Tennessee Municipal League (TML) Risk Management Pool, will provide funds for temporary street signage, barricades, and other tools to help ensure worker safety.
The city will meet again soon to finalize the 2010-11 budget. The proposed budget will include a 2-percent pay increase for full time city employees.
It will also include $500,000 in grant funds being used for the housing rehabilitation in the Craddock Street area.
Also in other business, the board approved Priscilla Shaver as a part time administrative assistant in the mayor’s office. Former alderman William Moody was appointed to the Humboldt Municipal Airport Board.

Nearly 66,000 individuals and families recovering from Tennessee’s spring storms and flooding have registered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for disaster assistance. Many more survivors may be eligible for federal grants and low-interest loans but may not be registering simply because they are not aware of all the facts.
“With the Aug. 5, 2010 registration deadline fast approaching, it is important flood survivors do not wait for insurance settlements or talk themselves out of asking for help,” said Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) Director James Bassham.
Federal disaster assistance helps fill the gaps in disaster recovery, even for those who get insurance payouts or other assistance.

“The key is to register before time runs out,” said Federal Coordinating Officer Gracia Szczech.
“There are three ways you can register with FEMA right now – call the helpline at 800-621-FEMA, go online to www.DisasterAssistance.gov, or even use your mobile phone by visiting m.fema.gov.”
Here are answers to common questions keeping some disaster survivors from registering.
What if I have insurance?You may be eligible
for help with uninsured or underinsured losses, including damage to wells and septic systems. If you’re still waiting for a visit from an insurance adjuster, or for an insurance settlement, go ahead and apply for assistance.
Ensure you do so by the Aug. 5, 2010 FEMA filing
deadline. If you are making necessary repairs to make your house livable, be sure to keep documents and receipts for all work.
Do I make too much money to apply for FEMA assistance?
Most federal and state disaster assistance programs are available to individuals of all income levels.
The type of help provided depends on the applicant’s circumstances and unmet needs. The aid helps individuals and communities recover as quickly as possible from a disaster.
What if I didn’t sustain enough damage?
The damage caused by a disaster – and the costs associated with repairs or rebuilding – may not be immediately apparent. By registering with FEMA now, you may be covered
for those damages that are discovered later.
Aren’t there others who need the money more than I do? What if there’s not enough money for everyone?
There are enough disaster funds to take care of every eligible applicant.
Will my other benefits be cut?
Federal disaster grants generally do not affect other state and federal benefits and programs.
Can I apply for an SBA loan even if I’m not a business owner?
Renters and homeowners may be eligible for low-interest disaster loans based on the type and extent of their uninsured or underinsured losses.
SBA loans are the largest source of disaster funds to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property or for making substantial repairs or rebuilding damaged structures. The low-interest disaster loans are available to homeowners, renters, non-profits and businesses of all sizes.
You are not obligated to accept a loan if you apply and are approved.
Register for disaster assistance by calling 800-621-FEMA (3362), TTY 800-462-7585
Remember the deadline to register for FEMA disaster assistance is Aug. 5, 2010.

drills with attachments and air compressors. If all you are capable of is holding dry wall, it can be held while someone else drills. There is something for everyone to do.
Please help to rebuild so God’s work can continue.
At the present time the 10th Street facility is trying to handle all the pieces of the full complex. We would like to be in position to start taking in new clients the first of September so time is becoming an enemy.
If you are capable of helping, call John Newman at 420-1973 or Dorothy Farner 697-4412.

JA SUMMER CAMP - Junior Auxiliary of Humboldt recently held a summer camp day at the Humboldt Housing Authority during the month of June and July. Many children participated and had an enjoyable, informative day. They made crafts, potted and planted flowers but they really enjoyed the visit of two special guests.

Also Kenny Perry (lower photo) came and talked about bees and the importance they have on our environment and also on flowers. He even let them sample the honey. Fun was had by all, it was an enjoyable day.

BY DANNY WADEAfter decades of having
the same man lead one of Humboldt’s most notable churches, there is a new man behind the pulpit. Quill Brabham is the new pastor at Morning Star Baptist Church.
Rev. Brabham has been with the church for a couple of months now and is getting to know Humboldt. He has some mighty big shoes to fill following the late Rev. John Mathis, he says. Mathis pastored Morning Star for 46 years.
“There are some very fine and friendly folks here in Humboldt, not just in the church but in the community,” Brabham said last week. “In Humboldt you truly get to know people, not just by name.”
Brabham not only serves God, but he has served his country as well. He spent 22 years in the U.S. Air Force. He served as a recruiting supervisor in Jackson from November 2005 through October 2008. Originally from South Carolina, he has called Madison County his home for the past several years.
After his military career, Brabham took a position with Jackson-Madison County Schools as the Jr. ROTC instructor at JCM, a position he still holds today. He also is an instructor at America Baptist College. Their main campus is located in Nashville but Brabham works in the satellite campus in Jackson.
“Basically I work with pastors to become more educated,” Brabham explained. “I teach theology courses in the seminary.”
Getting to know his church, several have told Brabham of the similarities between he and Rev. Mathis.

ReceptionMorning Star Missionary
Baptist Church will host a reception in the Education Center honoring their newly appointed pastor, Rev. Quill James Brabham Jr. on Sunday August 8 at 2 p.m. An installation ceremony will follow in the church sanctuary at 3 p.m.
NEW PASTOR - Steve Dillard is the new pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Humboldt. “My family and I are so excited to be serving our risen savior in this community,” Dillard said. “I look forward to working and serving in the Humboldt community any way that I can.” Dillard invites everyone to come worship with them at Calvary Baptist.
Both came to the church at about the same age, both served in the military, both are educators and both men were similar in stature. Brabham says that is high praise but laughed saying he doesn’t know if
he would have Mathis’ longevity. “Rev. Mathis served the church for 46 years,” he said. “I take those comparisons as a compliment.”
I am grateful to God for sending Pastor Brabham to us,” church
member Donna Seymour said. “He is a personable, energetic and active servant of God. He is well versed in the scriptures and he has Morning Star’s best interests at hand.”
Prior to becoming Morning Star’s pastor, Brabham served as assistant pastor at Walnut Grove in Jackson. When the Morning Star search committee started looking for their new pastor after Mathis’ passing, they contacted Walnut Grove’s pastor, Clarence Williams. It was Williams who suggested the committee interview Brabham, which they did.
“I submitted my resume (to Morning Star),” Brabham recalled. “They contacted me and I came in and preached. I didn’t hear from them for two months until they called me back for a second interview and asked me to preach two Sundays. Then I was asked to be the church’s new pastor.”
Rev. Brabham and his wife, Amanda, who is also a teacher with JMCSS have two children. Daughter, Kourgee, is a sophomore at the University of Memphis and son, Quill III, is a seventh grader in Jackson public schools.
“I’m looking forward to being part of the Humboldt community,” Rev. Brabham said. “I’ve received the best hospitality from everyone I’ve encountered. I want to better this community—that is what I’m here to do as a servant of God.”

A Civil War era landmark in Trenton moved through Humboldt this week enroute to its new home in Jackson’s Casey Jones Village.
The Neil House will be completely restored to its
former glory, promises Clark Shaw. “It is going to be gorgeous once again in the coming months.”
The two stories of the house were separated on site on High Street in Trenton and loaded onto
two flatbeds for the 30 mile trek across Gibson County into Jackson.
Shaw rode along on the bottom floor of the moving piece of history, accompanied by a Civil War re-enactor portraying a Confederate protector. During the Civil War, citizens gathered atop the Neil House in Trenton to watch the Battle of Trenton and General Nathan Bedford Forrest in action just on the outskirts of Trenton.
The move required additional time to add further bracing to the 173 year old home. It is structurally sound but still delicate due to its age.
The move required several hours to maneuver wires in Trenton and then several more hours to travel the rest of the route. Wires were also moved in Humboldt and the house spent the night on the Humboldt Plaza Shopping Center parking lot.
“Moving a historic home is no small task and our utmost concern is for the crew involved and their safety and the citizens of these communities as well as the safety of the home,” said Shaw. He and his wife, Juanita, acquired the home in June.
Efforts to save the house and keep it in Trenton had been made but the group lacked the necessary
funding. The fireplaces and front
porch columns will be added back when it in place in Casey Jones Village. Also, the back of the house had several additions through its 173 years that
were not strong enough for the move. The original 1837 part of the home and most historic is moving to the village and plans call to add on later. The home has a formal living room, grand foyer and staircase,
dining room, and bedrooms upstairs.
A piece of history is missing along High Street in Tenton, but it has not disappeared forever, as so much of history does. It has simply moved.

BY M. ERNEST MARSHALLGolf is a strange game,
particularly, to those who don’t understand it. One must ask why so many people want so desperately to play the game as often as possible. With a little thought, at least ten reasons emerge for this:
1. Golf is a very difficult game. If it were easy, there would be little interest in it. While every other sport has its “natural” athletes – those born to excel by virtue of their physical attributes – there are no “natural” golfers. Everything about the golf swing is “unnatural.” Thus, everyone of every shape and size must learn the game and practice constantly in order to play well. On the other hand, since no one is born knowing how to play golf, your chance of being great at the game is as good as anybody else’s chance. That’s good news for people who don’t have the physical attributes of, say, a basketball or football player.
2. Golf is unpredictable. No matter how badly you play today, you can play better – or worse -- tomorrow. Performance is governed by so many variables. One must not ignore the fact that every course is different – demanding different golf skills and strategies. This is unlike other sports. Football, soccer, rugby, baseball, and tennis are played on flat fields of a prescribed size. Every golf hole is different – different lengths, different elevations, different hazards. The course itself adds to the challenge – and, ultimately, the fun -- of golf.
3. In general, golf courses are beautiful, peaceful places to spend four to four and a half hours. They’re not places

Generally older-age-class bucks live where you don’t hunt. That’s how they develop big racks and heavy body weights. You need to identify the areas on the land you hunt that no one else ever hunts, including: thick-cover areas; briarpatches next to the main gate; piled-up logs; limbs and brush out in the middle of a field; an overgrown ditch that you can’t walk through; and head-high briar-thorn patches. Older-age-class bucks will live in places like these to avoid hunting pressure.
To survive and put-on weight for the winter, these bucks have to feed. Many hunting clubs and landowners plant green fields for wildlife and especially to harvest deer over, but when deer season arrives, the last place you’ll probably encounter a white-tailed buck during daylight hours will be on those green fields. Mature deer primarily will feed in the green fields after dark.
If you’ll provide food sources for bucks in honey holes that no one can find in areas no one else hunts, you drastically increase your odds for taking trophy bucks no one else sees or takes. White-tailed deer are browsers and eat the leaves, branches, nuts and twigs of hundreds of different food types, although they do prefer to feed on certain native plants, like poison oak, poison ivy, honeysuckle and dogwood berries at specific times of the year.
For example, on the edges of a thick briarpatch, you may discover two favorite deer foods - blackberry bushes and greenbrier (smilax). If you’ll go into the woods now and fertilize those native plants
TOURNAMENT WINNERS - The Humboldt Golf and Country Club Ladies Golf League sponsored the first annual Breast Cancer Awareness tournament recently. An estimated $5,000 was raised for the Susan G.

TOURNAMENT WINNERS - Gibson County Bass Club drew out Lucas Harbor at New Johnsonville as their July 17 mystery tournament site. Seventeen members took to the waters at daybreak and fished thru the extreme heat until the 3 p.m. weigh-in. Stephen Murphy of Cedar Grove won his second tournament in a row weighing in four bass at 9 lbs. 2 ozs. Dana Silas of Jackson was third with 8 lbs. 8 ozs. and Scotty Murphy of Cedar Grove was fourth with 7 lbs. 2 ozs. Deslonde Collins (not pictured) of Milan came in second with 8 lbs. 9 ozs. Silas teamed with Don Cantrell of Bradford to take the boat weight pot with 14 lbs. 1 ozs. Members found the fishing very tough as is reflected by the results. Most went hoping for good catches to come from the river ledges but with no river current, hopes soon faded and members moved shallow to chase the smaller fish. No 5-fish limit or any fish over four lbs. were caught in the tournament. The club’s next tournament is scheduled for Aug. 21 at Harmons Creek.

before deer season starts, those plants will put-on more foliage and create more highly-nutritious blackberries and greenbrier in that briarpatch. An older-age-class buck more likely will come to feed on the edge of that thick cover on those fertilized native plants that are a part of his normal diet, than he will feed on other plants. Too, consider fertilizing

workplace ore relationship problems to golf courses, because they don’t want to mar the setting. Therefore,
they develop a strong philosophic approach to golf and find ways to control their frustrations – or, at least, save them for another place and time.
4. In golf, there is no perfect score. There is no score to which the golfer can aspire in order to claim that he or she has mastered the game. Lacking such a benchmark, golf is about improving. No matter how much the golfer improves his or her game – even if the golfer reaches the professional level -- there is always room for improvement. That can be appealing, and even addictive, for perfectionists.
5. Golf is a sport rich in history and full of tradition. The golfer who approaches the game seriously and philosophically will acquire a feeling the he or she has formed a bond with everyone who has ever played the game. Every golfer shares the same struggles, defeats and joys. Being a golfer is, in a sense, like becoming a member of a tribe and gaining a sense of belonging.
6. In golf, how one plays the game is the responsibility of the individual. Unlike team sports, there are no substitute players. The individual golfer must play every stroke without assistance. Even something as simple as seeking advice
on club selection from another player is forbidden by the rules and carries with it a penalty. No one can interfere with the golfer’s play. With every shot, the golfer has an unimpeded opportunity to make a successful play or to botch it. Ultimately, that’s a good thing, because golfers feel empowered to make (hopefully) good decisions on their own. Every golfer is alone in the game, but being alone in golf is not a matter of loneliness. Every player is alone with his or her own thoughts and actions.
There is no referee in golf. Each player is responsible for playing by the rules and monitoring his or her own mistakes. Players who adhere to the rules are considered to be honorable. Players who violate the rules, even when unobserved, are considered dishonorable and not worthy of the game.
For these reasons, golf is a metaphor for life. How one plays golf is likely to be a reflection of how one lives his or her life. The question, then, isn’t so much why do people play golf. The question really is: why doesn’t everybody play the game?

J. Wayne Fears’ book, “How to Manage Native Plants for Deer” . Fears identifies many of the deer’s preferred food sources and tells you how to manage those native plants
for maximum production. Fertilizing native plants, pruning native trees and shrubs and using controlled burning will enhance the deer’s natural environment and often produce more food than planting green fields will.
How to hunt native plant honey holes:
“You’ll need to set-up and hunt at your honey hole when no one is going in or out of an area, perhaps at 8 a.m., when everybody’s already on his or her stand; noon, when the hunters are in camp eating lunch; and 3 p.m., when everyone hunting deer that day are already on their stands,” outdoorsman and wildlife biologist J. Wayne Fears explains. “Older-age-class bucks are much-more effective at patterning hunters than hunters are at patterning deer. Deer know when, where and how hunters move.”
Plan to hunt a region where other hunters don’t hunt, provide highly-nutritious, well-managed native plants for the bucks to feed-on and hunt at a time when no other hunter is moving in that area to see more bucks and have more success.

Recently the Eddie Burnett and Tucker family joined others in the bereaved family of Lorine Heart of Tampa, Fla. The last respect was held Friday. Lorine is the mother of Eric and Mark Heart. She has one grandson, Mark Junior, age nine. A host of family folks and friends was gathered together. She is more like my sister and we had so much in common. Before retirement she was a busy woman. She struggled for her education and she made it. She was a school teacher and was able to send Eric and Mark to college. Mark is a United States serviceman and Eric a business man. Her husband was a traveling cook. He died very young. She was 84 years old and I am going to miss her so much.
Recently there have been some more deaths in and around Humboldt. Life is like the weather—sunshine rainstorms and death—it comes in different forms.
The Clorine Coleman family was bereaved by her granddaughter’s son, Raphad Coleman. His mother is Deborah Pettigrew and his father Billy Graves. The last respect was at William Chapel with Pastor Johnson speaking a very fitting message. Raphad was 20 years old. The young people came in large numbers. Let us pray for all

I enjoyed a trip to Memphis Saturday to help celebrate the 51st birthday of my grandson, Hudson Atkins, who is on the list of cancer patients. It was a lovely day, with all of the family gathering at the home of Mary and Mac McCall. Hudson II will be leaving Monday to go back to Rollins College in Florida where he earned a scholarship by playing Lacrosse.
Mr. Irby Sanders has closed down his tomato business. He has pulled the vines and turned the soil. Mr. Sanders does not waste any time in taking down his tomato plants, when the plants start to show signs of drought and not up to his standards, they are quickly removed by Irby. Very soon now, he will be getting ready to plant turnips and mustard greens.

Ten Fabulous Females went to Kappis restaurant in Humboldt for lunch. Most girls ate the buffet, which was good and it had many different kinds of food on it, the ladies enjoyed the variety of food. Over lunch, they celebrated the birthdays of Betty Williams and Velma Malone and talked about the may things they were doing these hot summer days. Mary Ruth is making 10 baby quilts, which makes a total of 39 baby quilts she has made this year. Velma Malone is gardening and making quilts for the county fair and Betty Williams is canning and working in her garden. Betty canned 27 quarts of green beans, 46 quarts of tomatoes and 35 packages of peaches. These Fabulous Females are hard working women it amazes me as to how much talent they have and what all they can do.

Now this, I have thought a lot about the hot weather recently. A few days ago I was talking to Fred, my son in Denver. I asked how the weather was out there and he said they are having a little cool spell with some rain. I told him we were in the 90s and wishing for rain.

BACK TO SCHOOL BASH - Stigall Primary School held a Back to School Bash last Thursday afternoon for students, parents and faculty. Students and parents had a chance to meet with their teachers and take a look at all the improvements that have been done inside the school building.
Training for volunteer advocates to provide instrumental and effective support to parents of children with disabilities is planned during six one-day sessions this fall. In this training, participants will learn more about special education law and advocacy strategies. The sessions will be available by videoconference at the
University of Tennessee at Martin from Vanderbilt University.
At the end of the training, each participant will shadow an advocate at a special education meeting, and following graduation from the program, each will be linked with a family of a child with a disability. Each volunteer advocate is expected to work with at least four families at the discretion of The Arc and Support and Training for Exceptional Parents.
This comprehensive six-week training is scheduled for Sept. 11 and 18, Oct. 2, 16 and 30, and Nov. 13. Each training session will last six hours from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. The training will include a binder of materials
including passages from: the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, No Child Left Behind and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Additionally, the participants will be given copies of each training session’s PowerPoints along with other relevant materials. The training will be at The Vanderbilt Kennedy Center and also offered by videoconference to other sites across the state. There is a charge to cover the cost of materials for the training.
Those interested may contact Meghan Burke at [email protected] or call 615-585-1420 or visit http://kc.vanderbilt.edu/kennedy/vap/.
