A facility known for enriching the lives of Humboldt children for decades will soon be inspiring youngsters again. The former Child Town building will soon be the home of the Boys and Girls Club of Humboldt.

Ron Green, who heads up Northwest Tennessee’s Boys and Girls Club of America, is thrilled to have a new club coming to his region.

A better educated workforce is essential for Gibson Co. to attract industry, said County Mayor Tom Witherspoon last week as he endorsed a program to help local students gain opportunities for higher education.

Witherspoon expressed hope that the Gibson County Commission will contribute funds to REDI, the Regional Economic Development Initiative program.

A resolution will be discussed in a special commission meeting Tues., Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. in Trenton.

REDI is available to Gibson Co. to train mentors who will provide information to students about post secondary education opportunities. To participate in REDI, the Gibson Co.

Nana Kweku Carr Asante has been traveling to Africa yearly for 20 years on his mission to help the people of Ghana in West Africa.

“Many villages there need help and are deserving of help,” says Nana Kweku. It’s a passion of his, grown from his childhood in Humboldt, he says. “My parents always instilled in us to help people if we could,” he said. “It’s not how much you have, but what you do with what you have.

“Just like the Pied Piper, once it gets started, kids will come to see what’s going on,” Green explained. “At first they will come because it is new. Then they will stay because of the staff and the events going on.”

“The most important thing is to use the building in a Christian atmosphere,” said church member Harry Davidson.

But this building is more than just a structure. It has served the community with a Christian atmosphere since the early 1970s.

“We started in the church basement with less than 20 children,” recalled former Child Town director, Joan Smith. “We moved in 1982 (into the Child Town building) because of the

community and the support of the church to take care of Humboldt’s children.”

At its peak, Child Town had 150 kids enrolled in the late 80s and early 90s, Smith said. There were 30 paid staff including certified teachers. In 2004 Child Town closed its doors.

But as one door closes, another door opens. The Boys and Girls Club will fill a need for Humboldt’s children. Renovations and remodeling plans are underway for the building.

Many celebrities have been a part of Boys and Girls Clubs across the nation include Denzel Washington, Jay Leno, President Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby and Muhammad Ali just to name a few. There are so many stories of lives being saved and changed,

said board member Chuck Cloud.

Boys and Girls Club’s mission statement is, “To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.”

The club provides:•A safe place to learn and

grow...•Ongoing relationships

with caring, adult professionals...

•Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences...

•Hope and opportunity.“This is an awesome

opportunity to have a facility that is top-notch, where the kids can take ownership,” Green said. “It is a clean, safe environment for them to be a part of.”

money that was unclaimed last year, according to a proposal for the County Commission.

“That gives us a black eye in industrial recruiting,” said Witherspoon about the unused scholarship funds. “People look at us and see we’re not participating.”

REDI’s college access program unites local students with trained mentors who are knowledgeable on matters related to financial aid, college admissions criteria, and career advisement.

The program can steer students to community colleges, four-year universities, vocational schools or other schools, said Witherspoon.

Participation in REDI “will not only be an opportunity to educate

Gibson County’s youth; it will greatly improve Gibson County’s image for prospective industry,” according to the county resolution.

An informational meeting with REDI representatives and county leaders was set Oct. 5 in Trenton. Trenton Mayor Tony Burriss is a supporter of REDI and spearheading the county’s participation, said Witherspoon.

“From everything I’ve seen it’s a good program and hopefully we can get on board,” said Witherspoon. “It would be another effort to show that we’re making a strong effort and regional approach to recruiting industry. We’ve got to educate our workforce. It’s time to stop giving lip service to the idea of educating our workforce

and start putting some effort into it.”

Other topics on the agenda Oct. 12 will be:

•Resolution to approve a Tax Anticipation Note of $1 million – The county needs to transfer funds from Debt Service to the General Fund to meet operational expenses until tax revenues are collected.

•Health Dept. addition – The county has received a state grant of nearly $500,000 to renovate the Health Department in order to provide more efficient services and privacy to participants in the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program.

•Contributions to nonprofit groups – Commission will take a second and final vote on appropriating about $36,000 to local nonprofit charitable organizations.

(Our Cherished Ancestors), and humankind. Through the guidance of traditional Akan philosophy and practices, we seek to foster love, peace, and happiness for all persons. To that end, we sponsor projects to enhance access to clean water, healthcare, education, and to promote wholesome relationships between men and women, parents and children, neighbors, and persons

in the U.S. and in Africa. Our aspirations are large. We advance our mission through small, sure steps. We believe, as the proverb teaches, that constant, gentle rain fills the mighty river.”

Abenase, Ghana, is the site of Nana Kweku’s ongoing mission, with the help of his sponsors. First the village needed clean water. The next step was a school and then a medical clinic. The local government in Abenase

has assumed responsibility for the staff and equipment there.

His efforts bring many friends together to help change the lives of young people and women in the village. It is rewarding, he says, to see the children of the village not have to walk miles to fetch water. And to see them benefit from the nearby clinic.

He has supported five to 10 children each year in their education and goes back to Ghana at least twice a year to carry on the work.

The next project is women’s literacy and a library, named Adamfo Pa. As village elders once told him, the future strength of a nation depends upon her women. Helping a woman read helps her family to read and raises up her family and her neighbors.

Nana Kweku has many relatives in this area. Among them is little brother Lenford Carr, who serves on the Humboldt Board of Education and as a Gibson County Commissioner. Carr also works in circulation for Humboldt Chronicle.

A Gibson Co. woman might have died in floodwaters last spring if not for emergency response plans being in place, said Tony Burriss, Mayor of Trenton last week.

Burriss was among the county leaders attending a disaster planning session at the Gibson Co. Emergency Management office in Trenton September 30.

Officials finalized a 5-year Local Hazard Mitigation Plan that helps county agencies respond effectively to natural or man-made disasters.

Burriss said he has seen firsthand how planning ahead can save a life.

“When the floodwaters came up quickly in May knowing who to call and what steps to take ahead of time literally saved some people’s lives in Trenton,” said Burriss. “There was one lady in her home on a respirator. I knew who to call, and they got a boat to get her out. There’s no telling what would have

Leaders approve 5-year mitigation planhappened if we hadn’t had those steps in place. These actions (developing the 5-year plan) will save lives if we use them properly.”

Mike Caudill, Area Coordinator for the Tenn. Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) presided over Thursday’s meeting.

“Mitigation is any action that is taken before a disaster to lessen the impact of an event like an earthquake, flood or tornado,” said Caudill. “The federal government requires that a plan is updated every five years. It goes to FEMA for approval. Lots of grant money is tied to this plan.”

Others attending the session were John Maughan, mayor of Kenton; Rickey Graves, Gibson Co. director of emergency management; Paula Powers, emergency management agency officer of training & operations; Carl Stoppenhagen, highway dept. director; Rickey Bailey, Gibson County building inspector; and James Fountain, Milan fire chief and chairman

of the local emergency planning committee.

Leaders reviewed details of the plan, designating lead agencies and individuals to respond to disasters - severe weather, winter storm, tornado, flooding, earthquake, hazardous materials incident, or an act of terrorism.

Last week’s meeting was the last of several sessions to develop the mitigation plans. All cities in the county except Yorkville participated.

Leaders used cost-benefit analysis to establish priorities for methods of mitigation including building codes, improvement of drainage, public education, and the FM public alert system.

“If we can spend $10 in order to save $20 during a flood, that would be a good mitigation program,” said Rickey Graves. “In order to spend money on a project we have to be able to save money somewhere on

down the road. We look at solutions from all over the county.”

Graves said the creation of Gibson Co. Lake was a mitigation project that significantly reduced effects of flooding last spring. $1.5 million in mitigation funds was spent on the lake.

The 5-year plan will be provided to county leaders for final comments and then submitted to FEMA. The county and cities can then adopt the plan.

“The purpose of mitigation planning is to look at what hazards we have and see what we can to do to either mitigate the problem or do away with that hazard,” said Milan Fire Chief James Fountain, Chairman of the Local Emergency Planning Committee.

He said debilitated buildings can be demolished, drainage can be improved, and building codes can be enforced to lessen damage when disaster occurs. Officials can also train for “worst case scenarios.”

Fountain said advance planning and training proved valuable when tornadoes devastated Bradford in 2006. Mutual aid was provided by nearby fire and EMS responders.

“Mutual aid is neighbor taking care of neighbor,” said Fountain. “The night of the disaster in Bradford, the Milan Fire Dept. responded to help. A lot of Bradford people had lost their own houses and family members. We maintained a presence and provided emergency services that next week so people could regroup and cope.

“Some were finding

another place to live and some were burying family members. The Fire Chief lost family.”

“All this preparatory work for disasters and making our county safer is very important to us and kind of takes a load off our mind,” added Mayor Tony Burriss. “We know that all these plans of action will be in place when and if a disaster strikes.”

Residents in the county are encouraged to submit suggestions and comments about disaster mitigation. Contact the Emergency Management office at 731-855-7688.

Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Matt Kisber announced that Gibson County has achieved certification under the state’s Three-Star program for excellence in economic development.

“Solid community development provides the foundation for successful economic development,” said Commissioner Kisber. “Our Three-Star communities play an integral role in the overall economic health of the state, and I congratulate Gibson County for its commitment to excellence and dedication to long-term economic growth and success.”

Gibson County and the Town of Bradford, City of Dyer, Town of Gibson, City of Humboldt, Town of Kenton, Town of Medina, City of Milan, Town of Rutherford, City of Trenton and City of Yorkville are

Gibson County earns Three-Star certificationnow eligible to receive additional incentives under the guidelines of the Tennessee Three-Star program.

“ECD is proud to support Gibson County in its dedication to long-term economic growth and success,” said ECD Assistant Commissioner of Community Development Rick Meredith. “The community has emphasized essential foundational steps and targeted its strengths that will improve quality of life and grow jobs.”

The Three-Star program has set high standards like no other state-run program in the nation. Governor Phil Bredesen’s five-year asset-based economic development strategic plan is the cornerstone of Three-Star. The strategic plan addresses development issues and challenges a community is facing in an ever changing economic environment. Additionally, it

helps communities preserve existing employment, create new employment opportunities, improve family income and develop a strong leadership base for economic development.

In 2005, the Southern Growth Policies Board, a bipartisan public policy think tank devoted to strengthening the South’s economy, recognized the Three-Star program as a best practices program and a Southern leader in community certification programs.

The Southern Growth Policies Board honored the Three-Star program again in 2010 with an Innovator Award for its unique partnership with the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence. TNCPE provides services to the communities that participate in the Three-Star program based on the Baldrige National Quality Program and

provides feedback to help communities implement and improve their plans.

The Three-Star program is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year after beginning in 1980 as the “Three-Star Award for Successful Completion of the Community Economic Preparedness Program.”

Under Governor Bredesen, the Three-Star program has been revamped to include a benchmarking system for community excellence which raised the bar for performance.

The program has now grown to 89 programs certified, representing more than 340 cities and towns.

THREE STAR RECOGNITION - Several representatives from Gibson County traveled to Nashville for the presentation of the Three Star certification of community economic preparedness.

Page 4: Humboldt Chronicle October 6 2010

This week a subject that I had never before considered - Christian cursing.

We are all familiar with the third of the Ten Commandments, and most will say, “My word, I wouldn’t take God’s name in vain.” But you just did!

John 1:1 says that “the Word” was God. Satan tricked you, didn’t he?

So you say,”Well my goodness!” Your ‘goodness’ is none other than God Himself -Psalm 144:2. So “my goodness” is a reference to God.

“Good grief ! I had no idea.” There you go again! We know Jesus was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief .- Isa. 53:3. His was a ‘good’ grief because he bore your sins. You should show more reverence and respect for your Savior and quit throwing God’s word around too loosely. “For crying out loud! Can’t I say anything?” .How about reading your Bible for a change ? Matthew 27:46 says that when our Savior was suffering on the cross he “cried with a loud voice.” Why use such speech? Could it be that Satan is just having a good laugh at your ignorance and disrespect of God’s word?

“Well, geeeeee!” Did you say “G” as in God? Of course you did. And you’ve also said “gosh” and “good golly” haven’t you ? You may have said “jeepers creepers” when you really wanted to say ‘Jesus Christ’.

You’ve probably also played around with the letters “G” and “D” together, as in “dad gum” and “dog gone” when you really wanted to say “God” and then follow with the word “damn.”

Be honest, is God pleased with this kind of speech? Granted you don’t use the word “damn” too loosely, but what about “darn” and even “dang?” Do they not serve the same purpose?”

“Why, heck” Look out - God knows your heart and knows you really wanted to say “hell”. We Southerners say, “Ah, shoot!” This is nothing more than a cheap way of saying the ‘s’ word.

Why then, do people curse and swear? The real reason is - authority. We want to sound forceful and authoritative when we speak, so we spice up our speech with all sorts of ‘power’words.

Sadly, so many such words dishonor God, the Bible and Jesus Christ. A final word from Matt. 12:36 - “But I say unto you. That every idle word that man shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.”

And so concludes my sermon for this week.

With election day looming on the proverbial November 2 date, the House of Representatives voted September 29 to head home to shake a few more hands and put off until the lame duck session, that begins November 15, to discuss expiring tax cuts and the estate tax exemptions. Once again, the unknown future of the “death tax” is back and is especially an albatross placed around the necks of those who operate our family farms, as has been a trend for years.

The motion to adjourn squeaked by with a 210-209 vote, with 39 Democrats, most in tough re-election bids, joining the Republicans to make the vote so close. Speaker Nancy Pelosi was forced to cast the vote that gave the prevailing win to adjourn so members could hit the campaign trail. Now we have to wait and see what happens come the days before Thanksgiving to see if this year the estate tax exemption will be something we all can be thankful for as we gather around our holiday tables or a “turkey” that may be sort of hard to swallow.

Both Democrats and Republicans want a lower estate tax rate and a higher exemption, with the President and Congressional leadership wanting to revive the 2009 structure with a 45 percent tax rate and $3.5 million exemption. With combines costing over a half-million dollars these days and farm acreage being looked at on the same value as gold jewelry to be melted down, farmers are hoping for something closer to a $5 million exemption and a 35 percent tax rate. I had rather see total death to the “death tax” anyway, because it looks like to me we are being double taxed.

I know there are those of you who don’t like the term “death tax” and prefer estate tax, but you don’t get an estate tax until somebody dies, thus making it a “death tax.”

You have paid all these taxes on this property all these years while you’re alive and just because you died, now they want to tax it again just because you had it. Why don’t we have a “lost tax” for those who gamble? When

Something about the nip in the air made me hungry for ham over the weekend, so I decided I would cook one. Normally my wife and I would opt for what we call a cider ham, a ham baked in apple cider, then finished in the oven with a glaze of apricot jam, mustard and brown sugar. It’s a really easy, and relatively inexpensive way to feed a lot of people, and most people, even if they’ve forgotten it, love ham.

But this time I decided I would go for that grand old Southern tradition, Coca-Cola ham. Like most “Southern” recipes, there are about a hundred variations on the basic idea, that being put a ham in a big pot, pour a couple of two liter bottles of Coca-Cola over it, add an onion cut in half, or not, and wait till it’s done.

Then take it out, paint a glaze on it, if you wish, and finish it off in a hot over for ten to fifteen minutes. That’s all there is to it.

There are an amazing number of recipes and references to Coca-Cola ham on the Internet. Apparently it is one of the recipes that “took off” a few years ago as people from all over the world, literally, are now raving about this “exotic” dish, and every blog that discusses it refers to it as a “Southern dish” or “a dish from the Southern United States” or, as I saw on one British blog, “a recipe from the American Deep South.”

So I guess it must be, but from what part, and when? The current wave of popularity of the dish seems, at least on the Internet, to have come from Nigella Lawson, the celebrity cook, who claims she made her first Coca-Cola ham as a joke, but found that “. . . it’s magnificent, and makes converts on anyone who eats it.”

But where did the recipe she used, that now is known as “Nigella Lawson’s Coca-Cola Ham” come from? And how long has such a dish existed? I know I once saw a reference to someone serving it in Mobile, Alabama in 1944, so it goes back that far at least.

But who was it who first said, “Hey, I’ve got a good idea, let’s boil (or bake) a ham in Coca-Cola.”?

Some people claim that an old, old recipe for Coca-Cola ham that dates back to the 1880’s was found in family papers by a member of the Candler family (Asa

Candler was The Coca-Cola Company’s first president, and the man who put the

soft drink on the map) but, since the drink wasn’t invented until 1886, it’s not likely people were already cooking with it. Also, all the company did was manufacture syrup at first. It wasn’t until 1899 that a Chattanooga business man talked Candler into letting him bottle the beverage. Candler was so unimpressed with the idea of bottling Coke that he sold the man exclusive national rights to do so for a dollar.

Two decades later (1923) the company went public, and your great-grandfather could have bought a share of stock in it for 40 dollars. Had he done so, by 1994 the value of that share would have increased to 118. One hundred eighteen-thousand dollars, that is. Not a bad return.

How many Cokes have been sold since 1886? Well, if all the Coca-Cola produced since then was put in regular bottles in a line, that line would loop from earth around the moon and back, 1045 times.

Of course, most of that Cola has been swallowed or sipped, used in the traditional way, but the drink’s fans tout a surprising number of non-traditional uses for it.

For a hiccup cure, for example. Or to relieve the pain from a sting from a jellyfish. Some people swear by it as a colic remedy.

Still others use it as a toilet bowl cleaner. Supposedly it removes stains made by permanent markers and rust spots from chrome bumpers. Some people even use it as a sun tan lotion.

And then there are hundreds and hundreds of recipes that use the drink. There’s Coca-Cola cake, Coca-Cola pie crust, Coca-Cola brownies and Coca-Cola salad. There are numerous Coca-Cola barbecue sauce recipes. There’s a Coca-Cola pot roast recipe and Coca-Cola chicken, and some really unusual recipes like Coca-Cola Indian Chicken Curry and Coca-Cola French Onion Soup.

I don’t know anything about any of those dishes, but I do know about Coca-Cola ham. I cooked one this afternoon, and all five of us did everything but lick the plate clean.

It’s the real thing.

Tennessee Right to Life endorses State Representative Halford

The Tennessee Right to Life’s Political Action Committee has given their endorsement to State Representative Curtis Halford, District 79.

“Your willingness to stand firm for the cause of life is an encouragement to pro-life Tennesseans throughout the state. We are grateful for the significant advances made during the last session,” said Brian Harris, President Tennessee Right to Life.

Among the accomplishments cited were:•Passage of SJR 127, calling for a public vote in 2014

to allow restoration of common sense provisions stricken by activist judges. Among other, these needed protections include informed consent for women considering abortion, a 48-hour waiting period, and the regulation of abortion facilities;

•Reaffirmation that coercion is criminal in Tennessee by requiring that such policies be clearly posted at all facilities where abortions are performed in the state;

•Defunding of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading promoter and performer of abortion;

•‘Opting Out’ of abortion mandates, which were included in their federal healthcare plan passed in March.

As the state’s oldest and largest pro-life organization, Tennessee Right to Life is deeply grateful for Halford’s demonstrated commitment to making passage of SJR 127 a priority, added Harris.

Too bad Fincher didn’t have a Washington insider tell him that you couldn’t fill out campaign papers like an honest farmer and expect to get by with it.

Over the weekend, I heard a family farmer from another county say the way Fincher filled out the forms is pretty much how he would have. The farm, on paper, owns your stuff. The farm also owes for your stuff. And the farm pays you.

But simplicity isn’t enough I guess when you’re in the running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. But despite the rantings and ravings of an area daily newspaper, I believe most Fincher supporters will not be swayed.

I remember when Bill Frist ran against Jim Sasser for the Senate seat several years ago. Because he wasn’t an attorney, he wouldn’t fit in or understand the workings of the senate, we were told. He wouldn’t know his way around Washington protocol or Washington city proper for that matter, we were told.

Funny I never heard anything about Senator Frist being confused or lost. As I recall, he was quite effective.

Me, I prefer more farmers and working people in Washington, true citizen legislators, who aren’t there to make a power grab and hang on for years, but instead are there to serve and then go home.

This election cycle is the beginning, I pray, of a series of elections that will see America claim her greatness once again, not by being the nation of federal handouts and bailouts, but by once again being the nation of personal responsibility and free market opportunity.

It’s not about Democrats and Republicans fighting for power. It’s about Americans doing what is right.

They went home leaving the death tax still unburiedsomeone plays the lottery or cards and loses big, why not tax the amount they lost. We allow a deduction on your income tax for your losses up to your winnings, so why don’t we just tax those losses as well? Yeah, I know that sounds silly, but it makes as much sense as taxing a dead man’s holdings that he worked all his life to own and to have something to pass on to his children. Instead, the government is standing there like something from an old Shakespearean movie taking things from the burial shroud. It just ain’t right.

I know there are those who favor the estate tax and every time I write something concerning the tax, I will always hear from a few who want a list of names of farms that were sold to pay the taxes due to its unfairness. Over the years, due to the efforts of Farm Bureau and others, the exemptions have protected the family farms so an extra long list of sold farms does not exist in my files. But, if something is not done by the end of the year, there will be a list due to the tax rate changing to 55 percent and the exemption becoming $1 million. It is time to make this tax go away or at least become practical for today’s modern agriculture and its assets.

Because 84 percent of farm assets are real estate-based, farm families can be hit a lot harder than many other small business owners when estate taxes are enforced following a property owner’s death. If the family has to sell the land, buildings and equipment to pay the taxes due to not enough cash on hand to keep the operation going, then everyone loses. When the farm disappears, so does business for the shop owners who sell feed, seed, fertilizer and household goods. Plus, the community loses another family, along with their involvement.

The estate tax is just as I labeled it, a “death tax,” because it has the ability to kill farms, communities and future dreams. It is time to bury it for good.

The Tennessee Education Association Fund for Children and Public Education (TEA-FCPE), the political action arm of the Tennessee Education Association, has announced its endorsement of Lowe Finney for the Tennessee Senate in District 27. Senate District 27 includes all of Carroll, Gibson, and Madison Counties. In making the announcement, TEA’s Manager of Government Relations, Jerry Winters, stated that Sen.

Finney clearly understands the problems facing our public schools and has a proven record in support of issues facing education and school employees. He recognizes that Tennessee’s future depends on strong public schools, and merits the support of the education community, parents, and all others interested in moving our state forward. Education has a friend in Lowe Finney. We look forward to working with him again in the 2011 legislative session.”

The Tennessee Education Association is the state’s largest professional organization representing over 52,000 elementary and secondary teachers, school administrators, education support personnel, higher education faculty, and students preparing to become teachers.

NRA endorses HalfordState Representative Curtis Halford received an ‘A’

rating and endorsement for the 2010 Tennessee General Election from the National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund. National Rifle Association members in State House District 79 based the endorsement on Halford’s answers to their candidate questionnaire and his record of supporting Second Amendment legislation while serving in the Tennessee Legislature.

“Our members will interpret your ‘A’ rating and

endorsement as being a solid pro-gun/pro-hunting candidate who is an advocate for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms,” said Heidi Keesling, Tennessee State Liaison, NRA-ILA State and Local Affairs.

County Mayor Tom Witherspoon announced Monday that Starr Arnold is the new EMS director of Gibson County.

“After receiving and considering nearly 100 resumes for the position of director of Gibson EMS, I am very pleased to announce that Ms. Starr Arnold is Gibson County’s new Director of Emergency Medical Services. Ms. Arnold was the only candidate in the field that brought both a paramedics license (and background) and a Master’s Degree in Administration and Supervision to the table and having worked with her personally, I know first hand the work ethic she possesses,” Witherspoon wrote.

“I think she will also bring a fresh perspective to the service resulting in an overall better product for our customers, the citizens of Gibson County.

Witherspoon added, “On a personal note I would like to take the opportunity to thank Trayce Griffin for the great job she has done as interim director. Trayce has had alot on her plate and has really stepped up and met the task and I want to give her the credit she deserves. In these difficult times we often overlook those who work so hard and sacrifice so much to serve their county, I don’t want this to be one of those instances.”

Arnold, wife of Sheriff Chuck Arnold, will assume her duties as EMS director on Monday, October 18.

Bible—By Cliff?BY RICK LELAND

Ten-year-old Michael’s soft expressionless demeanor sparked: “I’ve got my Bible.” I noticed the name “Cliff Miller” engraved in the lower right hand corner of Michael’s second-hand Bible.

Spark two: “Can you show me Jesus?” He simply wanted to see Jesus’ name in his Bible. Before I could help, Michael said, “I’ve found Jesus.” I could see his finger up towards the front of the Bible. It was planted on the word-- “G-E-N-E-S-I-S.”

Well Michael has many things to learn. He sure is eager.Michael’s attention next was drawn to the inscription of

“Cliff Miller.” “That’s who wrote the Bible,” Michael said. “Cliff Miller.” I told him that wasn’t the case. He doubted what I said. Why would his name be on the book near the spot typically reserved for the author’s name?

Michael was heading to the right spot—a Bible study. The evening’s focus: “The Holy Bible.”

The Bible says: “All Scripture is inspired of God.” The original Greek language conotates a God-breathed creation. God breathed into Holy men’s lives as they wrote Holy messages to transform followers of His Holy Word into Holy people.

Some people need volumes of information to aid in their Biblical evaluation process. It’s available. All the scientific and historical facts any true seeker could ever desire.

Now Michael, when shown what the Bible said, instantly believed that God inspired every word found in the Holy Bible. Not a doubt.

Sure, a person can doubtingly explore reasons why the Bible can’t be true.

And then there’s Michael’s approach. As Jesus said, “The person who humbles himself like this child is greatest in the heavenly kingdom.”

The Bible-- God’s powerful, life-changing Word. His Gift to humanity.

Our part in it? Choose our reading attitude. Humble, eager to learn; call it a Michael-attitude-- a show-me-Jesus attitude.

Friends from everywhere gathered at the Methodist church Sunday at 2 p.m. for a “This is Your Life” party for Mildred Miles. The celebration was planned by her daughter Millie Jones

Morning Star Baptist Church observed 141 years of Christian service on Sunday. The homecoming services were very inspirational. It was coincidental that Morning Star’s Pastor Brabham and the afternoon speaker, Pastor Kenny Craig, both delivered a message about God’s favor. Mistresses of ceremonies for the afternoon program were Sis. Sanjanette Perry and Sis. Anna L. Vinson. Theme for the occasion was, “God’s Gifts Given to Each

We are in the season of the Fall of the year and it’s been so nice. Recently I was talking to a dear and long time friend. She said, “Well, I am finished with my Christmas shopping and all the gifts are wrapped.” She gives a lot of nice gifts. She and I go to the same doctor and she gives all of the staff members a gift. And if she knows your birth date, she will bring you a nice gift. Any time you see her, she is looking nice with everything matching. She is a very nice person. We talked on the phone and I was deeply touched. Once upon a time before she became crippled, she would go to the cemetery everyday to visit some family folk and talk to them. She sews and makes crafts. She makes pretty things and gives them away. And that’s not all, but I will close here. See you next week.

We’ve fanned our way through another hot month, but things are looking up as far as temperatures are concerned.

Our September weekly Sunday school was presented by Sandra Crim. Hats off to Sandra for a job well done.

The monthly board meeting was on the 9th. Residents and board members were treated to a delicious lunch of hamburger steak with gravy, fired potatoes, bean salad, rolls and banana pudding. We take pride in our excellent cooks and meals.

As a special treat, Humboldt Manor staff came on a Wednesday afternoon and entertained our residents.

Our Friday bingo game is enhanced by the presence of a special youth group. The youth as well as the residents are having fun.

Residents and staff received annual flu shots administered by CVS Pharmacy. Monthly blood pressure checks were given by Tennessee Quality Home Health.

Staff member Doris Johnson had surgery, but is back at work and doing well. We welcomed Nancy Childress to our staff and know that she will be an asset to our home.

Resident Margie Nicholson spent time in Memphis helping her daughter celebrate her birthday.

If you know someone who is lonely and could benefit from the services we offer, tell them to call 855-0702 for our fall move special.

Tennessee Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities (TAHRA) met for their 71st annual convention on September 20 - 22 in Orange Beach, Ala. The convention was held at the Perdido Beach Resort. This year’s theme was, “On The Road Again.” Many informative workshops were held. Keynote speaker for the opening session was the minister of encouragement Dennis Swanberg, a speaker who kept us laughing, while promoting faith and family values in a lighthearted and humorous way. He stressed that one way you can enjoy life is by helping other people to enjoy it, too. Commissioners from the HHA who attended included Beverly McNeal, Tom Humphrey and Donna Seymour. The HHA E.D., Patricia Taylor, also attended.

BY BARRY DELOACHThe Humboldt-Trenton game

is always important but with realignment, the winner of this game has the inside edge to the 2A playoffs. The Viking defense made a statement on Friday night at Peabody as they rallied from a 3-0 deficit at the half and came away with a 13-3 victory. The secondary had three interceptions in the fourth period. The first pick was by Zach Shepherd as Peabody was going in for the go-ahead score. Shepherd returned it 96 yards to the one. Humboldt scored one play later to seal the win at 13-3.

The Vikings had trouble moving the ball in the first half. Both teams went three-and-out on their first series.

On Peabody’s second possession, a 42-yard pass moved the Humboldt 5-yard line. The defense came to play and stopped the Tide on four straight tries. Shepherd had a big stop on third down and Torri Haley had a big play on fourth down to give Humboldt the ball at the 4-yard line on down.

Bad field position led to another punt and Aaron Williams did a good job to get the kick away out of his own end zone.

Peabody was back in business at the Humboldt 29-yard line. As the first period ended, a pass interference call went against the Vikings plus an unsportsmanlike penalty moved the ball down to the Viking 7-yard line. As the quarter was about to end, Trenton walked to the sidelines with the clock supposedly under 25 seconds. However, there was 25.4 seconds on the clock when the 25-second clock was started. The refs did not give the Tide a delay penalty. The Humboldt “D” did their job as Tevin Bryson and David Wilson stopped the runner on second down and then the Tide got a delay penalty to move the back to the 12-yard line. Trenton would settle for a 29-yard field goal to make it a 3-0 with 10:49 to play in the half.

Humboldt looked poised to score on their next drive as they drove to the Trenton 7-yard line but a fumble on second down caused a 12-yard loss for the Vikes. After an incompletion, Humboldt trotted out Daniel

BY BARRY DELOACHHumboldt Middle had their

perfect season taken away last week by Union City but rebounded this past week with an impressive 34-14 win on the road. The Jr. Vikings will now have to wait a week before traveling to Brighton to take on the Jr. Cardinals. Brighton is the No. 1 seed out of the WTAC South Division. The game will be on October 12 in Brighton.

Lake County stayed in trouble most of the night as the Jr. Vikings dominated the game in almost every facet of the game. On their first possession, Lake County was called for holding, lost four yards on second down, then on third down a bad snap went sailing over the quarterback’s head and Cornelius Watson got credit for a sack.

Humboldt got their first chance on offense after the punt at the 35-yard line. The Jr. Vikes lined up and played smash mouth football. Troy Agnew ran for 19 yards, Watson for 13 plus more yard as Humboldt easily drove downfield to the 12-yard line. On second short, Montravious Allen got his second carry of the game and made the most of it for the first score of the night. The conversion failed and Humboldt led 6-0 with 2:31 to play in the quarter.

The Jr. Falcons went three-and-out on their next series as Lake County kept having trouble with the snap from the shotgun formation. Coach Reid called out to let the ball roll on the punt but Agnew didn’t hear his coach. Agnew picked up the ball on the bounce near midfield and 48

BY BARRY DELOACHCoach Dan Bland has got

to be excited about a team waiting for their shot at playing time. Assistant Coach Joseph Shepherd is extremely excited as he gets to coach a good freshman class each and every week. On Thursday, the freshman squad moved to 6-0 with a win over McKenzie, 34-12.

This is a true freshman team not a JV squad. Team members are Jaylen Montague, Keeyan James, Grant Brittain, Alexander James, Marshun Cox, Austin Gullet, Nathan Miller, Darius Miller, Marquvious Ingram, Stephon Turner, Nicholas McLilly, Alex Hallmes, Desmond Green, Twia Hammonds, Derrick Seymour, Quin Gaines, Chester Epperson, Marquavious Brown and Isaiah Luten. John Bond, Titus Taylor and Joe Cox assist Coach Shepherd.

Humboldt has wins over McNairy Co 41-14, South Gibson 34-14, JCM’s JV team 44-0, McNairy a second time 47-6, USJ 38-14, and then this past week beat up on McKenzie to the tune of 34-12.

In the McKenzie game, neither team would score in the first half but Humboldt would score on the first play of the second period as QB Jaylen Montague punched it in from one yard out. Desmond Green kicked the PAT and Humboldt led 7-0.

The Rebels went three-and-out on their next possession.

Humboldt wasted little time in scoring again as Montague hit Turner with a 7-yard pass and then two plays later, Green ran in from 54 yards out for a touchdown. Green broke four tackles in route to

yards later he was celebrating in the end zone with his teammates. Humboldt was unable to punch in the conversion but it was quickly 12-0 in favor of the Jr. Vikings.

For the third consecutive possession, Lake County was unable to move the sticks. Malik Epperson and Watson made pivotal stops on the drive. The Jr. Falcons were near midfield and tried to pass for a first down but was unable to convert as Watson

smashed the receiver as soon as he caught the ball.

Humboldt Middle then wasted little time with their good field position to score. QB Daylon Ballard ran from the 48 to then 36 for a first down. On first down from the 36-yard line, Ballard handed the ball to Agnew and he barreled down the field for his second touchdown of the night.

the Lady Mustangs were a much bigger team than the Lady Vikings. At Gibson County, Humboldt beat the Lady Pioneers, 25-14, 17-25, and then won the deciding third game of the match 25-18.

Coach Katie Kulow said her team was pumped after taking the first match against Gibson County but despite their enthusiasm from the first match, Gibson County

easily won the first game of the second match. Humboldt got their swagger back in the second game as Jasmine Johnson and Lexus Decker played extremely well and helped the Lady Vikings win 25-19. Humboldt had a chance for the sweep in the third game of the second match as they led 24-21

Blankenship for a 36-yard FG try. It was a little out of his range and the game stayed at 3-0.

The Humboldt defense didn’t give up a first down in the second quarter until their was a roughing the kicker penalty called on the Vikes kept the Tide’s last drive alive. Humboldt would not give up another first as plays by Mike Jones, Wilson and Quan Campbell led to another punt with 2:03 left to play in the half. The Vikings chose to run out the clock not wanting to make a mistake as they would get the opening kick to begin the second half.

Humboldt lined up the second half and simply ran the ball down the throat of the Tide. Nine straight carries by Campbell led to a 75-yard drive. Campbell ran the last 14 yards in for a touchdown to give Humboldt their first lead of the game. Blankenship added the PAT and the Vikings led 7-3 with 7:56 to play in the third period.

On the kickoff, the call from the booth was kick it hard and on the ground. Bryan Harris kicked a curve ball off the tee and spun downfield like a top and the Vikings’ Quincy Woods recovered the pigskin for Humboldt at the Trenton 39.

Despite the swing in momentum, the Vikings were unable to capitalize on the excellent field position. The Vikings converted one first down but were unable to move the sticks a second time and Peabody took over on downs at their 24-yard line with 3:33 left in the third period.

Trenton then decided to line up and take it to the Humboldt defense in a smash-mouth running attack while throwing just one short pass on the drive. As the period ended, the Tide was at the Humboldt 9-yard line and had it first and goal. After taking the ball down to the five, Peabody turned away from their running success and tried a pass. Senior Zach Shepherd intercepted the ball at the three and ran it 96 yards the other direction and was tackled at the Peabody 1-yard line. On the next play, Harris went in for a one-yard plunge and the Vikes led 13-3. Blankenship hit the PAT but a penalty on Humboldt forced a re-kick and it was no good with 10:54 left in the game.

Trenton was now down two scores and had to go to the air. Humboldt knew this and the secondary was ready. On third-and-long, Shaquille McCorry snared the pass from the

Tide receiver and gave the Vikings the ball back at the 25-yard line.

Humboldt got one first down after the interception but had to punt the ball away. The Tide rush roughed Williams on the punt and the penalty was an automatic first down. Then another big dose of Campbell sealed the win for the Vikings. Seven consecutive carries by Campbell took the ball down to the Tide 13-yard line. On fourth and long, Humboldt went for it and Peabody took over at their 7-yard line with 1:47 to play in the game.

The game was practically over but the Vikes’ third INT of the night sealed it. Harris intercepted the ball and simply went down near the 25-yard line and Humboldt went into the victory formation for a 13-3 win and a 3-0 record in District 14A.

The defense came up big all night for Coach Dan Bland with three interceptions, two goal line stands and gave up only three points in game. Humboldt moved to 4-3 over with another big district game this week against Union City at home.

Campbell led the offensive attack with 174 yards on 32 carries, 23 of the 32 carries came in the second half, which was completely dominated by the Vikings. Peabody had just 16 offensive plays in the second half and three of those were picks by the Vikings.

and needed just one point to win. Gibson County then rallied for four consecutive points to earn a split in the two matches.

This past week, the Lady Vikings made the long trip to Middleton to take on the Lady Tigers. Humboldt was sluggish in the first set of the match as Middleton popped the Lady Vikings with a 25-9 whipping. Coach Kulow made a lineup adjustment and moved Taylor Dozier to outside hitter and put Decker back in the middle as the setter. The move worked as Humboldt bounced back to defeat the Lady Tigers in game two with a tough 26-24 win. Middleton then went on win the last two sets 13-25 and 19-25.

Last Thursday Humboldt ran into a buzz saw of team in Trenton Peabody. The Lady Golden Tide was very impressive in their win from the service line. The Lady Vikings had no answer for their powerful serves and suffered a 3-set loss to Trenton, 5-25, 13-25, and 12-25.

Humboldt will close out their regular season with a

home game against Halls on senior night. Santia Pettigrew and Taylor

Dozier are the Lady Vikings only seniors on this year’s squad.

Tennessee’s statewide deer seasons will officially begin for 2010 with the September 25 opening of the archery season and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) is urging hunters to use care when hunting from a tree stand.

Many deer hunters find hunting from an elevated stand to be advantageous. It is often more difficult for a deer to detect a hunter in a tree stand than one on the ground, but the TWRA is urging hunters to be cautious anytime they use a stand.

The most common cause of tree stand accidents is a fall. All of these falls could be prevented with the proper use of a safety harness attached to the tree. Many falls occur when permanent, wooden stands, which have been left out in the weather attached to a tree, decay and become unsafe. Eventually, the weight of a hunter can cause the stand to collapse.

If possible, use temporary stands that may be stored in a dry area after the deer season. If a permanent stand must be used, always check it before hunting to make certain it is safe and securely attached. Whether using a permanent or

TWRA urges caution with tree standstemporary stand, always use a safety harness.

Ten rules for tree stand safety are:

•Always wear a safety harness while hunting from a tree stand, including while ascending and descending.

•Never climb into a permanent stand you have not built yourself or carefully checked out.

•Never hunt from tree limbs.

•Be sure the commercial stand you have is safe. Practice with it before using it in the woods.

•Never climb a tree that is too small or too large for your stand to fit safely.

•Be sure your stand is level at the height you wish to hunt.

•Always stand up slowly and be sure of your balance.

•Be sure you are steady and braced before shooting.

•Always use a haul line for your bow. Never climb with your equipment.

•Never climb a dead tree or one with dead limbs above your head.

Hunters should be aware that on wildlife management areas (wma) the use of wire, nails, or other metal material is prohibited in building or attaching of climbing devices or hunting stands. Portable devices or stands that do not injure trees can be used. Hunting from permanent attached stands is prohibited. Leaving any personal property on a wma, including tree stands, unattended for more than 24 hours is prohibited without prior approval of the area

manager.Remember, ask first before hunting on

private landThe Tennessee Wildlife

Resources Agency (TWRA) would like to remind all hunters that Tennessee State Law (TCA 70-4-106) requires all hunters to have permission before hunting on private property.

Every year TWRA Offices across the state receive calls from landowners about people hunting without permission. TWRA personnel will, as in past years, assist landowners who wish to sign a warrant and prosecute hunters for hunting without permission.

The law requires hunters to have permission from the landowner before hunting, whether or not the property is posted. In most cases, verbal permission will work. If the property is properly posted with signs stating hunting by “written permission only”, then hunters are required to carry written permission from the landowner.

TWRA urges all hunters to obtain a 2010 Tennessee Hunting and Trapping Guide or go to www.tnwildlife.org and review the information before hunting. Each year, hunters are issued citations for violations that a few minutes of reading could have prevented.

Remember – “Stop Poaching” – in West Tennessee, call 1-800-831-1173 to report game law violations.

Jr. Vikings Players of the WeekJr. Vikings Players of the Week

Once again, the 2-point try was no good but Humboldt had a commanding 18-0 lead with 4:33 left in the half.

Lake County got a good return on the kickoff to near midfield, quickly got into Humboldt territory for the first time all game and made their initial first down. Two plays later, a halfback pass caught the Humboldt defense sleeping and Lake County got the ball down to the 2-yard line with about a minute to play in the half. It took four plays for the Jr. Falcons from the 2-yard line but scored with 21 seconds left in the half. With the conversion, Lake County had cut the deficit to 18-8 and thought they were back in the game.

On the ensuing kickoff, the Cornelius Watson Express ran down the middle of the field and chunked two or three Jr. Falcons out of his way in route to the 65-yard TD run. Watson then ran in the conversion and Humboldt went to the half with an impressive 26-8 lead.

The Jr. Vikings got great field possession on the second half kickoff as Lake County tried an onside kick. But the ball rolled dead within inches of where the ball was kicked at the 40-yard line. Thunder and lightning, aka, Watson and Agnew, did the rest. Humboldt went 40 yards in five plays with Agnew scoring from six yards out for his third score of the game. Allen ran in the

conversion and Humboldt led 34-8.

Lake County went to the air on their first possession of the second half and Humboldt rose to the task defensively. Jaylon Strayhorn intercepted the Lake County quarterback’s pass and returned it 20 yards to the Jr. Falcon 38-yard line.

Coach Reid put in most of the second teamers for the rest of the game both offensively and defensively. Cornelius Pledge had a good run for 20 yards down to the 28-yard line. Allen had several nice runs as well but the Jr. Vikings drive would stall at the 26-yard line and Lake County would take over on downs.

Lake County took the ball and scored in five plays. The Jr. Falcons scored on the last play of the third period on a 45-yard jump pass to move to within 34-14. Humboldt recovered the ensuing onside kick attempt and drove from the 48 to the 7-yard line as Pledge, K.D. Thomas and Allen all had nice gains. The drive would stall at the 5-yard line as Thomas came up just short of the first down marker and Lake County took over on downs with 2:35 left in the game.

The Jr. Falcons made a couple of first downs but a sack from Gerrad Cox backed them up before Strayhorn got his second INT to end the game for a 34-18 win.

Humboldt is now 6-1 on the season and 5-1 in WTAC North division.

the touchdown. Hallmes attempted the kick and it was wide left.

With Humboldt up 13-0, the defense forced another three-and-out. Gullet almost had an interception on third down.

Neither team moved the ball on their next possessions but the freshman Vikes had one more chance just before the half ended. With about a minute to play, Humboldt ran a middle screen to Hallmes for 19 yards. Then on the first and 10 from the 35-yard line, Montague hit Turner with a bomb for a 35-yard touchdown. The 2-point try was no good and Humboldt led 20-0 at the half.

The Vikes continued their dominance with an impressive 70-yard drive in seven plays. The Vikings mixed the pass with the run on the Rebel defense. Green ran for 30 yards to move the ball into Rebel territory. Montague hit Hallmes with a pass that went for 20 yards down to the 20-yard line. Turner, on the reverse, almost scored as he scampered for 17 yards to put the ball at the two-yard line. Green scored to make it 26-0.

The Rebels finally got it going offensively as they drove to the 13-yard line until Montague intercepted

the ball in the end zone and ran it out to the 8-yard line. Humboldt would punt to set up the Rebels would good field position and with 5:08 left in the game, McKenzie got on the scoreboard.

Humboldt scored after getting the ball back but as Air Montague aired it out to Hallmes for a touchdown, a holding call nullified the touchdown and the drive would stall at the 40-yard line.

McKenzie scored quickly with 3:03 left in the contest.

The Vikes could have just run out the clock with the game in check but Coach Shepherd wanted to score and Stephon Turner made it look easy. Turner ran the end around to perfection for a 70-yards TD. Green

added the 2-point run and Humboldt came away with an impressive 34-12 win.

Coach Shepherd is impressed with this group of young men and says that this squad will be ready to play next season and contribute possibly as sophomores. Shepherd and his staff are stressing the simple things like stances, reading techniques and discipline on the field. Coach Shepherd and Coach Bland hope to build on this year’s freshman success so that the kids won’t sit around idle on the sidelines and then be expected to perform their junior and senior year without any experience. Humboldt’s freshmen will play North Side this week in their last game of the season.

New Teacher Spotlight

Rebecca Bowers is the new biology teacher at Humboldt High School.

Bowers is from Gibson and still lives there today.

She is a 1988 graduate of Gibson County High School and has a bachelors degree in computer science.

“My goal is to be a teacher that the students know they can trust and depend on,” Bowers said.

She noted that she gets her inspiration to teach from her own children.

“One of my challenges will be seeing kids struggle with social issues,” she said.

The first of two preview days is set for Oct. 9 at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Preview days are opportunities for high school students and their families to visit and learn about the university. Each event is designed to enable future college students to become familiar with the Martin campus and to get that all-important first impression of university life. A second day is planned Nov. 13.

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 30

A RESOLUTION to propose an amendment to Articl XI, Section 13 of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee, relative to the right to hunt, fish, and harvest game.

WHEREAS, the Legislature finds that hunting and fishing are honored traditions in the State of Tennesse; and

WHEREAS, from the time prior to statehood, citizens have enjoyed the bounty of Tennessee’s natural resources, including hunting and fishing for subsistence and recreation. Indeed, hunting and fishing are a vital part of this state’s heritage and economy and should be preserved and protected; and

WHEREAS, the legistlative intent of this amendment is declared to be the following:

(1) Hunting and fishing for the taking of game and fish are a valued part of this state’s heritage should be preserved for the people;

(2) Citizens of this state should have the opportunity to take game and fish by traditional manner and means; however, game and fish management, including hunting and fishing, shall be consistent with the state’s duty to honor this heritage and its duty to conserve and protect game and fish; and

(3) The right of the people to hunt and fish shall be subject to reasonable regulations and restrictions as the Legislative may prescribe; and

WHEREAS, the One Hundred Fifth General Assembly considered and adopted House Joint Resolution No. 108, which proposed an amendment to Article XI, Section 13 of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee, relative to the right to hunt, fish, and harvest game; now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE ONE HUNDRED SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING, that a two-thirds majority of all the members elected to each house concurring, as shown by the yeas and nays entered on their journals, that it is proposed that Article XI, Section 13 of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee be amended by adding the following sentences at the end of the section:

The citizens of this state shall be have the personal right to hunt and fish, subject to reasonable regulations and restrictions prescribed by law. The recognition of this right does not abrogate any private or public property rights, nor does it limit the state’s power to regulate commercial activity. Traditional manners and means may be used to take non-threatened species.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in accordance with Article XI, Section 13 of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee the foregoing proposed amendment shall be submitted to the people at the next general election in which a governor is to be chosen, the same being the 2010 November General Election, and the Secretary of State is directed to place such proposed amendment on the ballot for that election.
