Snails delaying Greenbrier bridge workAmove to replace a washed

out bridge on old AlabamaHwy. 20 near Greenbrier is

moving as slowly as the endan-gered snails the feds are protectingin that area.

Yes, that is right - a river snail andtwo other endangered species inLimestone Creek beneath thebridge. Officials say not only arethe snails causing a delay in con-struction, they also are driving upthe costs of the bridge replace-ment.

But Limestone County officials saidthis week that after lengthy delaysto replace the flooded out bridge,there may be some signs of life toreplace it which has been out sinceChristmas Day 2015.

Officials said the bridge replace-ment has been slowed by concernsthe work might negatively impact

wetlands and the federally pro-tected snails that know the nearbycreek as their home.

Limestone District 3 CommissionerJason Black told The Decatur Dailythis week that his phone "has beenmelting" with complaints whenasked about the delays in con-struction. The road that allows mo-torists to travel from MooresvilleRoad to Greenbrier has forced resi-dents who live on it to take de-

tours. One major restaurant, theOld Greenbrier Barbecue, is alsoaffected.

Apparently, funding is in place forthe project but the Alabama De-partment of Transportation is stillwaiting for approvals from severalagencies including an environmen-tal recommendation from the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Agency.

But the downside to all this is theysay even if the project construction

started today, it will be well into2018 before the bridge work iscompleted and the road reopenedfor traffic.

In my opinion, it's a lot of red tape

His discussionwill include Blackstone’s Commen-taries, its influence, as well as the in-

Athens-Limestone County Public Li-brary. “The library is excited to wel-come Judge Parker,” says PaulaLaurita, director of the library. “We go

through our daily lives and don’t real-ize how much of our freedom is basedon our long legal history. Understand-ing the basis for those laws is essen-tial to understanding our role atcitizens. I look forward to havingJudge Parker share some of that richhistory with our community.”

Justice Parker was first elected to theAlabama Supreme Court in 2004 andwas re-elected in 2010.

If gift-giving isn’t your strong suit,occasions like Valentine’s Dayare likely to bring on stress and

worry, but procrastinating will onlyserve to elevate your unease.

Follow these steps to simplify yourshopping, and while you may notcome to love the task of findingthe perfect gift, your loved one willundoubtedly appreciate your ef-fort.

Browse for ideas online. Many re-tailers offer special promotionsand gift idea sections on their web-sites, so finding inspiration can beas easy as visiting the sites of yourloved one’s favorite stores. Thereare also dozens of articles onlineto help get the ideas flowing.Searches such as “gifts for horselovers” or “Valentine’s gifts for anew boyfriend” will reveal a longlist of ideas to peruse.

Keep it simple. Although the ad-vertising industry works hard toconvince consumers otherwise,Valentine’s Day isn’t really allabout the bling. Sure, a pretty

bauble is a welcome gift, but thereare plenty of ways to show your af-fection that don’t require spendinga month’s salary. A heartfelt cardpaired with a memento of a mean-ingful event or place in your rela-tionship sends the same lovingsentiment.

Make it a (different) date. Formany couples, navigating the de-mands of work, kids and life makespending time together a luxury.Instead of fighting crowds at busyrestaurants on the official date,celebrate your love on a day ofyour own choosing, when you can

relax and enjoy the time togetherwithout the pressure to rushthrough dessert so your table canbe flipped for the next waiting cou-ple.

Give blooms a boost. A dozenlong-stem red roses is a beautifulgesture, but unless your intendedrose receiver is a strictly traditionaltype, try adding a little spice toyour floral arrangement. Go for abouquet in her favorite color, orhave the flowers arranged in apractical vessel she can reuse toremember the occasion, such as acocktail shaker or a watering can.

Go ahead, gift yourself. It mayseem counter-intuitive, but findinga gift you’ll enjoy may inspire anidea for your loved one. The trick isfinding something you can sharetogether, whether it’s tickets to ashow or his and hers mugs for en-joying your favorite brew. Just besure the item is something your in-tended will share your enthusiasmfor, or you may as well go buy ablender.

Local fishermen ready to startthe 2017 bass fishing sea-son travel south to the big O

to get things under way. Floridais a fisherman’s paradise with themany lakes found throughout thestate. The Kissimee River chainof lakes offers big bass opportu-nities. The Stick Marsh is anotherpopular Florida lake that pro-duces good numbers of fish, andat the same time, provides theangler with a trophy opportunity.

South Florida is home to one ofthe most popular big bass lakesin the country. The big O, as it isreferred to by fishermen, are talk-ing about Lake Okeechobee. This30 mile wide lake is blessed withfish holding cover vegetationwhich provides cover for the rapidgrowing Florida bass. Saw grass,cattails, reed, and hydrilla, arecommonly found aquatic plantsgrowing in the lake. This, withgood water quality and abun-dance of bait fish, makes Okee-chobee a top notch fishery.

There are several methods tocatch big bass on Okeechobeeone of them being flipping crea-ture baits into the grass beds. A 1oz. sinker or heavier is required to

punch through the tightly grassmats. Another technique is run-ning a top water swim baitaround the more broken up grasspatches.

Wind plays a big role on theSouthern lake. When high windsblow a couple days the silt withcolor up the water and this canbe a show stopper.

Sight fishing is another method oflocating and catching big bass onclear water lakes. The big femalebass will hold on sandy bedswhen the spawn is under way.Pitching an offer into an activebed can produce rod jarringstrikes.

The top water fishermen also fishthe plastic frogs across the mat-ted grass. The big blow up hasbeen referred to as looking like acommode flushed.

The sunshine lakes also providegreat crappie fishing. This statewould be a good place to callhome if you like to fish. Freshwater fishing at its best and theinland bays off the Gulf of Mexicooffer some super red fish fishing.Warm weather, beautiful golfcourses, and great fishing makethis state a favorite place for re-

tired folks.

I am clear of cancer at thistime, but there is always thechance it could come back. If itdoes, I hope researchers havefound a way to fight it. SupportingRelay for Life is very important tome. Money raised goes for re-search, so just maybe it will savemy life, or someone who has thesame type cancer as I do.”

Acclaimed Novelist, Jim Nesbitt to celebrate launch of new novel, ‘The Right Wrong Number’ at High Cotton Arts Center

Acclaimed novelist Jim Nesbittwill celebrate the release ofhis new novel, The Right

Wrong Number with a launchevent at High Cotton Arts Center at103 West Washington Street,Athens on February 16, 2017 be-ginning at 6:30 PM. The event, partof the Athens Arts League’s “Lis-tening Lounge” series, will featurereadings from The Right WrongNumber and a book signing. FellowAthens author and humor colum-nist Jerry Barksdale will serve asemcee. The event is free and opento the public.

Nesbitt, an award-winning novelistand well-traveled correspondent,takes readers on a tour de forcethat races from the gleaming tow-ers of Houston to the stark desertmountains of the Texas Big Bendcountry and northern Mexico inThe Right Wrong Number. Grittyand remorseless, hard-hitting andhard-boiled, The Right WrongNumber features an indelible pro-tagonist, Dallas private eye Ed EarlBurch. He’s smart, tough, profaneand reckless: Ed Earl Burch is no-body’s hero—and nobody’s fool.

About The Right Wrong Number:When the phone rings long aftermidnight, it spells trouble of thelethal kind for Ed Earl Burch. Acashiered homicide detective withbad knees, a wounded liver and anempty bank account, Burch hasbeen hired to protect an old flameafter the disappearance of herhusband, a high-flying Houston fin-ancier who ripped off his clients,including some deeply unsavorygentlemen from New Orleans. It’sa simple job that goes wrong fast,plunging Burch into a ruthless con-test where nothing is as it seemsand no one can be trusted. Moneyand sex— twin temptations servedup by the old flame, a rangy straw-berry blonde with a violent temperand a terminal knack for larcenyand betrayal—tempt Burch tobreak his own rules. But when his

best friend gets murdered by hiredmuscle in Dallas, Burch blameshimself and grimly sets out forvengeance.

Bristling with relentless action, apulse-racer of a plot, a solid story-line, and a colorful cast of charac-ters, The Right Wrong Number ishard-boiled detective fiction at itsfinest. With his pitch-perfect voiceand keen eye for detail, Jim Nes-bitt uses the skills honed overdecades of deadline journalism tocreate an extraordinary story cen-tered on a protagonist like noother: the deeply flawed but wildlycompelling Ed Earl Burch.

About the author: For more than30 years, Jim Nesbitt chased pres-idential candidates, hurricanes,earthquakes, rodeo cowboys,ranchers, neo-Nazis and nuns as a

roving correspondent for newspa-pers and wire services across thecountry. Also the author of TheLast Second Chance, Nesbitt livesin Athens, Alabama. Visit Jim Nes-bitt online at: www.jimnesbitthard-boiledbooks.com.

Nesbitt has received high praise,including:“Nesbitt channels the lyricism ofJames Crumley, the twisted kick ofJim Thompson, and the cold, darkheart of Mickey Spillane.” – JayneLoader, author of Wild America

“If Chandler’s noir was a neon signin the LA sunset, Nesbitt’s noir isthe Shiner Bock sign buzzing out-side the last honky-tonk you’ll hitbefore the long drive to the nextone. Roll down the window; it’s ahot night. It’s a fast ride.”

– James Lileks, author of The

Casablanca Tango

“In Burch, Nesbitt has created amore angst-ridden and bad-assversion of Michael Connelly’sHarry Bosch and a Tex-Mex land-scape much meaner than thestreets of LA.” –Bob Morris, EdgarAward nominee and author of BajaFlorida

The Right Wrong Number will bepublished in trade paper (ISBN:978-0-9983294-0-6, 308 pages,$14.99) and eBook (ISBN: 978-0-9983294-1-3, $4.99) editions andavailable nationwide in February,2017.

They came to the “great bend”of the Tennessee River asthey pushed westward across

the new country, and, drawn by thelush beauty of the land, theystayed.

But they were not welcome.

The story of Limestone County be-fore it ever became known by thatname is one of two tenacious soci-eties, both fighting for the right tolive and thrive in the place thatthey called “home.”

Long before the first European sol-dier, a member of Hernando deSoto’s expedition, set foot in theTennessee Valley in 1540, theCherokee and Chickasaw nationsfished the rivers and hunted theelk in what would one day becomeLimestone County.

The Chickasaws inhabited thewestern area of the valley, raisingtheir crops on land controlled bythe women of the families, whilethe men of the villages wagedfierce battles with rival tribes andsettlements. Meanwhile, theCherokees established settlementsnortheast Alabama, raising cropsand hunting in the river valley. Thetwo tribes clashed where theirlands met – in central North Ala-bama, today’s Limestone County.After the Cherokees ceded thisarea to the United States in 1806,the Chickasaws moved right in andclaimed it.

The only problem was, the Euro-peans kept on coming. And in thefall of 1806, a group of settlerspiled into flat boats in East Ten-nessee and paddled down the Ten-nessee River and up the Elk River,

finally settling at Buck Island. Thefirst ones to build a cabin werebrothers William and James Sims,and the group became known asthe Sims Settlement. The settlershad names that you can still see inthe Limestone County phone booktoday, like Murrell, Redus, French,and Greenhaw.

They planted corn and startedmaking a living and a life in differ-ent ways. Thomas Redus built amill on Witty Creek, while JamesFord established a ferry servicenear Prospect, Tenn. BenjaminFrench built a cabin for his wifeand 11 children, and ElizabethSims got a job teaching nativewomen how to spin and weave for$15 per month plus 37.5 cents aday for board.

But they were illegal immigrants inthe Chickasaw nation. The Chicka-saw border ran diagonally acrossthe northeast corner of today’sLimestone County, and any settlerliving west of that line was break-ing federal law.

The Chickasaws weren’t having it.They wrote to the federal govern-ment in 1808, saying that allowingthe squatters to remain would bean example for others to follow,and “we can be no more a nation.”

So President Madison dashed offan order as soon as he took officein 1809, demanding that thetroops be sent in to forcibly removethe settlers. Fort Hampton was es-tablished as home base for thesetroops, and time and again theytore down homes and fences todrive out the squatters.

Amos French was one such squat-ter, about whom R. A. McClellanwrote:“In about 1810 one of the Indians,who had shared his hospitality,came to him in a ‘little new ground’in which he was at work, and inbad English, made him understandthat evil was impending and he leftas quickly as he could. Before hehad gotten out of sight, however,he saw the smoke arising from hiscabins on fire.”

However, one Chickasaw chiefcompared the settlers to crows

frightened away by a passing per-son, saying as soon as he is past,they return.

The settlers wrote to Madison in1810, and 450 of them signed theletter begging him to let them stay.Part of that letter read, “We will notremove our fellow citizens off,which will bring many women andchildren to a state of starvationmerely to gratify a heathen nationwho have no better right to thisland than we have ourselves.”

Ultimately, the tenacity of the set-tlers won out. The Chickasawsceded the land including Lime-stone County to the federal govern-ment in 1816; the area wasdesignated Elk County and thenbecame part of the Alabama terri-tory in 1817; and LimestoneCounty was established in 1818prior to Alabama’s statehood in1819.

On March 3, 2017, as Alabamakicks off two years of celebrationof the state’s bicentennial on the

anniversary of its establishment asa territory, Limestone County willkick off its own bicentennial cele-brations.

UNCLE BONDEE’S ADVENTURES by Uncle Bondeeby Uncle Bondee

Valentine’s day has alwaysprovided a chance to showyour love to that special one

in your life. The boys in the hollerwere very creative when it cameto gift giving. There wasn’t anyfancy card or boxes of candy towoo your loved one.

Dalton was handy curing out ani-mal hides he had trapped. Daltonmade his girl friend a pretty pursefrom rabbit fur. The fur purse wasa special gift that displayed hisfeelings for the young lady. Ahand made purse was a specialgift made for a special person.

I got Grandma to bake me achocolate pie to give to my girlfriend on Valentine’s day. Youcould not go wrong with a freshbaked pie.

Sweet smelling perfume was alsoa favorite with the local girls. I re-call a perfume called Blue Waltzthat provided a strong fragrance.

Another crafty way to say ‘ I loveyou’ was carving it on a slick skinbeech tree. You could find thenames of boys and girls carvedon the tree with a heart shapedcarving surrounding the name ofthe pair that was courting. Thiswas a means of marking your ter-ritory and informing other suitorsof ‘hands off’ on that special per-son.

Sometimes we would make homemade valentines from brownpaper bags. We would make uppoems and be creative with say-ings as we wrote them down withcrayons. A dance was also lots offun with local musicians playingmusic for the dance. A stand upbass, fiddles, and guitars madeup the instruments. A squaredance was popular and a goodway to meet girls from other com-munities. It was common for the

new girls and boys to be shy, butsoon they overcame it and weredancing and enjoying eachother’s conversation.

The 14th day of February was theonly holiday until spring, thenEaster was celebrated. Januaryand February were cold monthsand keeping a hot wood fire goingwas your primary job. Keepingwater to the live stock un-frozenwas also a challenge. Thebranches & ponds would freezeup when the temperaturesdropped into the single digits.

Life was hard in the good olddays, but families were close andtook care of each other’s needs.There was good food and shelterand plenty of love to go around.Cupid did his magic on Valen-tine’s Day back then just liketoday, only the means of express-ing love might be a little different.

Aman was driving his car,when he saw an old lady,stranded on the side of the

road. He saw that she neededhelp. So he stopped his Pontiacnear her Mercedes and got out.

He smiled, while he was ap-proaching her, still she was wor-ried, as nobody had stopped forhours. Moreover, he did not looksafe, as his appearance was sopoor and shabby. He could see,how frightened she was, so hetried to calm her: “I’m here tohelp you, don‘t worry. My name isBryan Anderson.”

The tire was flat, so he had tocrawl under the car. While chang-ing the tire, he got dirty and hishands were hurt.

When the job was done, sheasked how much she owed himfor his help. Bryan smiled. Hesaid: “If you really want to pay meback, the next time you seesomeone, who needs help, givethat person the needed assis-tance. And think of me.”

At the same evening, the ladystopped by a small cafe. Thatplace looked dingy. Then she sawa waitress, nearly eight monthspregnant, wiping her wet hair witha towel. The waitress had a sweetfriendly smile, although she hadspent on her feet the whole day.

The lady wondered how some-one, who has so little, can be sokind and giving to a stranger.Then she remembered Bryan.

The lady had finished her mealand paid with a hundred dollarbill. The waitress went to getchange and when she cameback, the lady was gone. She lefta note on the napkin: “You don‘town me anything. Somebodyonce helped me, just like now I‘mhelping you. If you really want topay me back, do not let this chainof love end with you. ”The wait-ress found four more one hun-dred bills under the napkin.

That night the waitress came

home earlier. She was thinkingabout the lady and the moneyshe left. She was wondering, howthe lady could know, how muchshe and her husband needed it,especially now, when the babywill soon arrive. She knew thather husband worried about that,so she was glad to tell him goodnews. Then she kissed him andwhispered “Now everything willbe all right. I love you, Bryan An-derson.”

Eli's three siblings are team-ing up to encourage othersiblings of cancer kids with a

"Sibling Survival Sack"! Hg,Abbey, and Caleb have discussedwhat was (and is, since Eli is stillin treatment) helpful to them asthey sat on the sidelines waiting,waiting, waiting so many times indoctor's offices over the last fiveyears, or the many times theywere told to "go pack a bag" to goto a sitter's house while Eli andhis parents had to be gone.Everyone's world is turned upsidewhen a child is diagnosed, andsiblings are expected to go abouttheir normal days of school, ball-games, activities, but outside nor-mal circumstances.

They are often tag-alongs to theirbrother or sister's appointments,with no purpose except that theparent didn't have a choice. Orthey are asked to keep up withtheir normal activities while beingshuffled around to relatives, ortheir parents' friends. This is allpart of the evil of the disease,and how it reaches beyond thecancer kid. These siblings canfeel helpless to the situation thatis in their home, and feel aloneeven within the business of whatis going on around them.

Hg, Abbey, and Caleb decided theywanted to send a backpack to sib-lings of cancer kids with an en-couraging note that they are notalone, and include in it some oftheir favorite things that are ageand gender appropriate. They plan

to accept online "applications"from cancer parents for the back-packs, limiting distribution to 9backpacks each month for 2017.

Each backpack will be of nicequality, and useful. They will in-clude some combination of abook, toy, small electronic, andsnack, plus the personal note.Watch for special fundraisersthey will be doing, help them getstarted with a donation to Eli'sBlock Party/Team Victory 4 Allthat will be earmarked for SiblingSurvival Sacks. You can use pay-pal with the [email protected], orsend a check made out to TeamVictory 4 All to 24900 SavannahTrail, Athens, AL 35613.

Don’t forget the Brown Bag Chal-lenge this month! The first ship-ment of Sibling Survival Sacks isready to ship, with the secondclose behind. Money raisedthrough the Brown Bag challengegoes directly to shipping costs forthese bags. SSS challenges theworkforce to take a sack lunch in-stead of eating out, and donatethat money to their efforts insending encouragement to sib-lings of cancer kids. Shippingcosts and supplies are majorparts of this project, and not onewith which there are many dis-counts to be found. So, even $5,the cost of a fast food lunch canhelp. Share with your co-workers,and make a big impact.

Watch for the car show comingup in May as well!!

HORSE SENSEHORSE SENSEHORSE SENSE by Jim Swannerby Jim Swannerby Jim Swanner


Natural Horsemanship, for Women Only?If you notice, the title is a ques-

tion.

For women only, uh!!!

Seems as it is, because morewomen are using this concept

than men, Why isthat I wonder?

I wouldn’t thinkthis is a true as-sessment of whatNatural Horse-manship ‘really’ is.

Some of the following informationis from a book written by Dr. R.M.Miller, DVM and horse behavior-ist. The book is entitled ‘NaturalHorsemanship Explained’. If youare around horses, I highly rec-ommend you get this book andstudy it.

As you go on your journeys acrossthis nation or any nation, you will

see a great number of statueswith figures of leaders andstatesmen on horseback and thetruth is, many of these figuresnever rode a horse. But the horsepromotes majesty and adds tothe persons being. The HORSE, a

MAJESTIC creature….. But, I daydream, back to the writing.

Some folks want to conquer asavage beast, the bronc, the wildhorse by using whips and spursevery time it jumps and continueuntil it submits or surrenders.

Others, on the other hand, getmore satisfaction using NaturalHorsemanship concepts to help atroubled, panicky, fearful horsebecome a trusting, calm depend-ent horse. This way is not as hardon the human either. Kids andadults alike are building self-es-teem in the bonding with thehorse using the natural way withhorses.

Natural Horsemanship is foreveryone, especially the horse.(Natural Horsemanship is work-ing with a horse using the horse’snature, not ours. We need tothink like the horse but first weneed to know how the horsethinks). Natural Horsemanship isa relationship first based pro-gram/concept. It is for everyonewho wants to have a good foun-dation first to build on. It is foreveryone who does not want toput the goal before the principle.

You do not have to be dominatingover the horse by coercion orusing force, you just have to bethe leader. Examples of domi-nant people who gained it by

using force and coercion: GenghisKahn, Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hus-sein. Example of people that hasinfluence over us without usingforce, coercion or other domineer-ing methods: Gandhi, Aristotle,Socrates, Martin Luther King, Jr.There is not another individualthat influenced us more by usingLove, Reason and Persuasion toachieve dominance and leader-ship than Jesus Christ.

So, from this list, who would youwant to be like? Who does yourhorse need you to be?

You’ve heard the saying; you at-tract more bees with sugar thanwith vinegar. Try it with yourhorses. Learn to be the leader,not the dictator.

Still think NH is for women only,here’s a few folks using NH: LarryMahan, Mel Hyland, and Ty Mur-ray. Just a few who don’t think it’sfor women only, so why wouldwe?
