Several beer permits were approved in February by the Humboldt City Board.

•Adil M. Alaudi was approved for a carry out only permit at Central Food Market at 1011 N. Central Avenue. The location was previously known as Central Avenue Market and had a beer permit issued to Bobby Vasquez. Alaudi also operates Stop ‘N’ Shop Food Mart on Central Ave. and Pinson Exxon in Pinson, Tenn., according to his application.

•Tina Pigott was approved for an on site beer consumption permit for Big Daddy’s, also located at 1011 N. Central Ave. It was formerly known as Sportsman’s Bar.

Both Central Food Market and Big Daddy’s are locations owned by Harold Gunn.

•Francisco Correa was granted a permit to sell beer for on-site consumption at City Slickers, a family restaurant at 2120 N. Central. Correa is buying the restaurant. Correa also has a Mexican restaurant in Brownsville, Tenn. City Slickers was formerly operated by Jerrel Maitland

Earlier in February, Robin Rodgers was approved for an on site consumption permit at 3 Doerr’s Down, a business at 3085 East End Drive. Rodgers formerly operated Wild Hawgs Bar and Grill. The new location is owned by Scottie Rodgers.

Also approved for a carry out only beer permit was Larry Boals, who operates Boals Discount Grocery at 1503 Mitchell. The location is owned by Brian Ashworth. Boals had a previous beer permit at the Corral on East End Drive for 14 years.

Judge Allen Wallace heard arguments Feb. 19 in Circuit Court in Trenton in a legal dispute between a group of pilots and the Gibson Co. Airport Board.

The suit, filed in 2006, seeks to nullify actions by the airport board, including the hiring of manager Robert Lockard. The suit argues the airport board did not conduct open meetings and operated without proper authority.

NEW DIRECTOR – Alicia Marbury (right) packs boxes of canned goods from the food pantry at Helping Hand last week. Marbury is the new director of Helping Hand and has been on the job for a month. Assisting with the food are board member, Barbara Smallwood and volunteer Terry Boyd.

BY DANNY WADE

She has a sunny personality and is good with the people, staff and volunteers. This is how Barbara Smallwood describes Alicia Marbury, the new director of Helping Hand. Smallwood, a member of the charity’s board of directors, says she is elated to have Marbury on staff.

Marbury has just completed her first month at the helm of Helping Hand but she is no stranger to this type work. Prior to joining the Helping Hand team, she worked for the Department of Human Services in Madison County. She has a B.S. Degree in Social Work from UT Martin.

“You have to be multifaceted,” Marbury said of her new position. “You have to oversee utility bill help for our clients, be responsible for P.R., ordering food from Second Harvest food bank in Nashville, all the trouble shooting and the day-to-day operations.”

Marbury said she could not do it alone. She praised all the volunteers who give of their time. It is the volunteers that keep the longtime

Humboldt charity going, she says.“After one month, I can truly say I enjoy

coming to work every day,” Marbury added. “I’m surrounded by some great people and an environment I love. I love interacting with people and helping them out.”

But Marbury admits, she is learning on the job. “There is a lot involved with what we do—from the thrift store, donations, constant flow of customers, attending board meetings, soup kitchen, working with volunteers—for such a small place, there is a lot we do.”

And if all this weren’t enough, Helping Hand is in the process of participating in a new program. BackPack is a pilot program here in Gibson County and will impact 50 students at East End Magnet Academy, according to Jim Proudfit, also a board member. Through a federal grant, Helping Hand will purchase food in bulk and divide it into individual packs that will be picked

Jim Hamm, now deceased, and wife, Kay, pilots from Rutherford, filed a libel-defamation suit against Roger Walker, airport board secretary. Ms. Hamm is a member of the board. The suit sought damages of $170,000.

Judge Wallace of Waverly was “sitting by interchange” for Clayburn Peeples in the case. He said he would issue opinions in a letter in two to three weeks.

After the hearing, attorneys would not

comment publicly, but indicated that Wallace seemed sympathetic to the county’s defense.

Presenting arguments were attorneys Jim Pentecost for Roger Walker, Terri Crider for the airport board and county, and Sam Watridge for the pilots.

The suits against the airport board questions whether board members properly hold office, have authority, and obeyed open meetings and open records laws. Watridge asked

for a motion for partial summary judgment on the issue of open meetings.

Crider filed a motion to dismiss the case, saying it is without merit. The county provided proper notice of meetings and made records available to the public consistent with law, she said.

Crider argued, and Judge Wallace seemed to agree, that the pilots’ complaint was not properly

Kristina Lara, 31, of 815 N. 25th Ave. has been charged with – promotion of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia

Earlier last week, agents of the West Tennessee Violent Crime and Drug Task Force 28th District office executed a search warrant at 2815 Mitchell Street in Humboldt.

They arrested Cheri Buchannan, 37, of the same address for possession of a Schedule VI controlled substance with intent to sell or deliver. Agents seized over 350 grams of marijuana and related drug paraphernalia.

In November 2009 Cheri Buchanan was the victim of a home invasion robbery at the same address, Task Force Agents discovered through their investigation that this home invasion was a drug robbery that involved a firearm.

District Attorney Garry Brown and the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference today announced a new campaign including aggressive outreach through social media, printed materials and a major effort to build a statewide network of partners to increase their efforts to fight teen pregnancy.

The statewide initiative represents the second phase of the highly successful What’s the Rush? campaign that raises awareness of the legal, financial and social consequences of becoming teen parents.

“Given the initial success of the What’s the Rush? campaign, the district attorneys wanted to expand this project to reach even more teens in Tennessee. We believe teen pregnancy is a choice, and it is important that teenagers understand the consequences of their decisions,” said General Brown.

The DAs started the campaign in 2008 in response to the number of court cases involving teen

BY STEVE SHORT

Citing a “state of urgency” due to safety concerns at the Gibson Co. Juvenile Court, officials are proposing to move the court to the former county jail building.

The Gibson Co. Commission will review a resolution seeking federal funds to pay for renovations and moving Juvenile Court when the commission holds its regular bimonthly meeting Monday, March 8 in Trenton at 9 a.m.

Susan Featherstone, director of Juvenile Court, said she has developed a proposal to move the court operation. She is asking state and federal political leaders for their help in securing grant funds to pay for the project.

County Mayor Joe Shepard supports the move and invited commissioners to tour juvenile court facilities last week.

Recent altercations between opposing parties at Juvenile Court, along with lack of space, have elevated concerns.

“The juvenile court security risks, which pose an imminent danger, include fire hazards, inadequate exits, lack of space, and the continued threat of violence,” said Shepard.

The resolution before commissioners states: “There is currently a great concern of the potential hazards of this location due to public safety issues, overcrowding, inadequate entry and exit, lack of courtroom space and persistent and constant threat of danger.

“Recent fights and incidents concerning opposing parties to delinquent, custody and child support cases have caused this concern to be elevated to a state of

ENJOYING PANCAKES – Humboldt Rotary Club member, Randy Terry (standing), waits tables during the club’s annual pancake breakfast at East End Magnet Academy. The club served 300 breakfasts this past Saturday morning including (seated from left) Taylor, Logan and Jennifer Wood, and Chuck Lepinski. Proceeds from the pancake breakfast will fund scholarships for HHS students.

parents throughout the state. Printed materials and a video were created for the DAs to use when visiting schools and civic organizations to educate Tennessee’s youth about the consequences of becoming teen parents.

After receiving a substantial amount of positive feedback, the DAs decided not only to continue the campaign, but to commit more resources to expand its scope to reach even more teenagers. One of the new additions is the social media initiative the DAs will participate in using Facebook, YouTube and MySpace. They will also be working more directly with campaign partners, and sending new and updated materials to schools and medical offices across the state.

“We are pleased to partner with the district attorneys, who see this problem firsthand,” said DHS Commissioner Virginia T. Lodge. “Continuing and expanding this program can make a difference in communities across Tennessee.”

In the 28th District alone, the most recent statistics from the Tennessee Department of Health show that in one year there were 170 reported cases of teen pregnancy and more than

13,000 cases reported statewide. Statistics from the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy show that teen parenthood can lead to a number of legal, financial and health consequences. Those statistics include:

•Eight out of 10 teen fathers do not marry the mother of their first child.

•Less than half of mothers who have a child before they are 18 years old graduate from high school, and less than 2-percent have a college degree by age 30.

•Teen fathers have less education and earn much less money than teenage boys without children.

•The children of teen mothers are more likely to be born prematurely and at a low birth weight, which can cause infant death, blindness, deafness, respiratory problems, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, dyslexia and hyperactivity.

•Children of teen mothers are 50-percent more likely to have to repeat a grade in school and are less likely to finish high school.

•The sons of teen mothers are two times more likely to end up in prison.

•The children of teen mothers are two times more likely to suffer abuse and neglect compared to children of older mothers.

problems by retroactively ratifying previous actions by the airport board.

Watridge said notices of public meetings had to meet criteria - location, content and time of notice - and should have been posted at the courthouse and in the newspaper.

Wallace cited a case involving a notice of a Game and Fish Commission meeting, saying a notice in the Sec. of State’s office was ruled adequate by the court. A notice is adequate “if it’s on a fence post out in a cow pasture,” said Wallace, implying that he, too found the ruling surprising.

The defamation-libel complaint involved a summary by Roger Walker

of an airport board meeting that was given to newspapers and published in part on the Mirror-Exchange website before being pulled. Walker made accusations against Jim and Kay Hamm, saying they used “strong arm tactics.”

“We have a dispute between two parties, but it does not give rise to defamation,” said Jim Pentecost.

Mr. Hamm’s claim of slander against Walker abated upon Hamm’s death last year, agreed attorneys. “We agree, but it doesn’t seem fair you can say false things about a person, and if that person is dead, it doesn’t apply,” Watridge told the judge.

talents and brings a new perspective. She has the same heart for the ministry.

Marbury says she is a devout Christian and attends Northbrook Church in Three Way. She said she prays everyday for Helping Hand and believes prayer impacts Helping Hand.

“Alicia’s goals and her insight into people are invaluable,” Smallwood noted. “She’s truly a Christian woman who gets to utilize her talents. She’s very organized.”

“I’m excited about my new job,” Marbury said. “My favorite part of my job is daily interaction with the customers, volunteers and anybody that comes in.”

Mr. Hill, a retired State Farm insurance agent and always active in efforts that benefit our county comments: “It is a pleasure to be a part of Lynn’s campaign effort. I fully endorse his ability to lead our county through these trying times while looking always to what is best for the future of all Gibson County citizens.

Price graduated from Humboldt High School and attended Bethel College.

He is married to Jane Mills Price and they have three children, Teresa (William) Lowery of Trenton, Jeri (Clint) Harbin of Humboldt and Will Price of Cookeville. The Price children attended Medina schools and Gibson County High School.

Price is a member of Latham’s Chapel Baptist church near Medina where he serves as an usher and has served on various committees.

“It is my desire, if elected,

to improve county services including the ambulances, the sheriff and fire departments, the emergency management agency and roads. I believe we should manage the county budget with available funds until the economy improves. I think we should make-do with what we have and push for industrial development and recruitment to bring jobs back to Gibson County,” Price said.

“With our economy like it is at this time, I feel it would better serve the people to have someone as experienced in county government as I am. I have always been and will

continue to be a man who believes in doing the will of the people. I strongly believe in public service and have tried to help my fellow man all of my life,” Price said.

EDITOR’S CORNER

MEMORY LANE BY MARIE HADLEY

from page 1A This week’s question: Should Gibson County leaders move Juvenile Court

to the Gibson County Jail. (see story, 2A)Vote Yes or No.

A columnist for the Memphis Commercial Appeal I greatly admired was Lydel Sims. Over the years he brought up many questions that intrigued readers such as -Can a mule bray without raising it’s tail?

Once he was brash enough to quote a Memphis attorney’s finding that there were only three Murphy’s Laws. We know the original -” If anything can go wrong, it will”. Sims writes that by the time the ink was dry, he was getting phone calls followed by mail five more, then nine, and finally as many as 17!

He then with great effort undertook to edit, correlate, coordinate and consolidate the lists to share with his readers. Herewith are some of them. Nothing is easy as it looks. Everything takes longer than you think it will. If anything can go wrong, it will, and when it does, it will happen to you. Left to themselves, things always go from bad to worse. If everything seems to be going well, you have overlooked something. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems. If you try to please everybody, somebody is not going to like it. If you explain a thing so clearly that no one can misunderstand, someone will. When mankind builds a more perfect mousetrap, Mother Nature builds a more perfect mouse.

In the decades since those were listed, we now have so many more. From Google we find these laws based on the original Murphy: Love’s Law- All the good ones are taken. Commerce Law - To err is human, to forgive is not company policy. Teacher’s Law - You never catch on till after the test. War’s Law - Friendly fire - isn’t. Car’s Law - An oil leak will develop. Real Estate Law - At least one check will be ‘lost in the mail’.Computer Law - Any given program when running, is obsolete. Nurse’s Law - Doctors only ask your name when the patient isn’t doing well. And one we can attest to, Mother’s Law - Mother’s way is best. If you don’t believe it, just ask her.

Do you have a son between the ages of first grade and 18 years of age? Are you interested in helping with the coordinating and developing of new Boy Scout programs in Humboldt?

Then please join us on Monday night, March 8 in the Humboldt High School library at 6:30 p.m. for an open forum discussion and

Camp fuel

planning meeting. This meeting is open

to all former scouters and scout leaders (as well as individuals with no previous Scouting experience) who would like to help grow the scouting program once again in this community.

There was once a strong and vibrant Cub Scout pack and Boy Scout troop for the young men of this town

and we would like to see that offered again. Come and join us to see how you can help make a difference in a boy’s life through scouting.

Scouting is returning to Humboldt

I read a report the other day about a town in East Tennessee that was discontinuing its use of cameras to catch speeders at intersections. The cameras, it seems, turned out to be non productive, that is, they cost more to rent and maintain than the revenue, or rather fines, that should be, they generated. Never mind that the town had cited safety as the only reason for putting them up; they were supposed to pay for themselves with increased fines, and they didn’t, so down they are coming.

A telling example, to some people, of the way towns, especially small ones, have come to use traffic laws to generate revenue instead of using them to make the streets and highways safer.

There’s a pretty hot debate going on across the nation about speed limit laws and their enforcement. On the one side are communities and states and law enforcement agencies that aggressively pursue speeders and the revenue brought in when they are caught. On the other are all sorts of organizations that argue that speed laws are antiquated and are being used almost exclusively, in some towns, to raise money rather than to make the highways safer.

Speed, these people say, is not nearly the demon law enforcement agencies claim it is. They argue that many speed limits are arbitrarily set below what the public perceives as a reasonable and prudent speed, and this, they maintain, creates all sorts of difficulties, one of them being that it actually makes the streets and highways more dangerous.

First of all, they argue, when speed limits are too low, they encourage widespread non compliance. This, in turn, encourages disrespect for the law and breeds unnecessary antagonism toward law enforcement officers.

Furthermore, their argument continues, slower traffic patterns cause vehicles to travel closer together, which causes tailgating, weaving, and speed variances, thus causing dangerous congestion.

Most law enforcement agencies disagree, and counter those arguments with statistics linking excessive speed with all sorts of accidents, from fender benders to fatalities.

So the debate continues, but it is not a new one. It has been going on, as a matter of fact, since before the automobile was even invented. The first speed limits were for trains, in England. They were controversial. Here in America, the first automobile speed limit was enacted in 1901 when the Connecticut legislature made it an offense to drive more than 12 miles per hour.

Tennessee also set early speed limits, but during the 1920’s, our 30-mph speed limit was so ignored by drivers that

the legislature, at the strong urging of the governor, established the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

Of course officials denied that the Patrol was being formed to catch speeders. Instead they said it was to “assist, not arrest” drivers.

They had to say that to get the enabling legislation passed, because opponents had warned that a statewide highway patrol would regulate the way people drove and would ultimately institute a statewide standard of safety. Citizens, they argued, would be annoyed and harassed by the new traffic officers.

Of course their fears that the Patrol would lead to a statewide standard of safety were well founded, thankfully, but those regarding the patrolmen annoying or harassing drivers were not at all. The Tennessee Highway Patrol is one of the most professional and well respected law enforcement agencies in the country.

And by the way, they don’t set the speed limits; they enforce them — in an evenhanded, commonsense way, the same in East Tennessee as they do here.

The divergence in the way speed laws are enforced comes from differing local standards. There have always been communities that have had their own ideas about what was a “safe speed limit” in their towns and where “speed zones” should be located.

Back in the days before radar guns, traffic officers either paced suspected offenders with cars equipped with calibrated speedometers, or they set up “speed traps” where they could time vehicles as they went from one designated point to another, then calculate the vehicle’s average speed from that.

But in addition to being extremely time consuming, these “traps” were very hard to hide. Consequently, driving organizations were able to keep, and publish, fairly reliable records of where they were.

As methods of catching speeders became more sophisticated and the old physical “traps” were abandoned, the term “speed trap” endured and became commonly associated with towns where speed limits are overzealously enforced.

People frequently ask me whether these small town “speed traps” are legal, and the answer usually is, “yes.”

Whether they make the streets and highways going through their towns any safer though, is another question altogether.

And that one is not so easy to answer.

I was watching the news Saturday early when the earthquake in Chile flashed across the television screen. “Camp fuel,” I thought.

Shopping later that day I asked for it but the store didn’t have it.

Camp fuel, if you have a Coleman camp stove or lantern, is a necessity when camping.

I believe the last time we camped out, we were running low.

But the time I remember appreciating camp fuel the most was the ice hurricane several years ago that immobilized a great portion of the county and left us for days without any power at all. Camp fuel and firewood were suddenly serious necessities of life and we were lucky enough to have a camp stove and a wood burning stove. Now at a different residence, we’ll be dependent on natural gas, and that’s a whole new danger with earthquakes: Gas lines and mains will be likely be ruptured and broken.

Viewing the Chilean destruction, one can’t help but worrying about the fate of all those people. Their world is upside down. Homes are gone and with them all physical comfort and shelter. Worse yet, loved ones are hurt, missing or dead. People need medical care, water and food.

Anarchy rules, lawlessness abounds. The order of the day-to-day world is gone. What’s left is disorder and mayhem . First it was Haiti, then Chile....

The earthquake incidents are moving across the globe and New Madrid is where some scientists are pointing to as the big fault of the future. They’ve been watching it for years. Yet when it happens, it will still be a monumental mess. No one can prepare for the earth below them moving like spilled Jello.

Now more than ever, people need to have extra canned food (a manual can opener), extra bottled water, extra medications, batteries and a stockpile of emergency options at their fingertips.

We’ve never known what the future holds from one moment to the next. We never will.

Any given second, we’re not guaranteed the next. There’s nothing we can do about it. Not a thing-- except put back a few cans of beans and such stuff…. just in case we do survive.

And I’m buying camp fuel.-A. Jackson

Murphy’s many laws

I guess we all know someone we think is special.

I think my Mama and Daddy were special, great, parents. I think my husband, my children, and my grandchildren are special.

There is a lady that I think is special. I grew up out in the country with her. We played together as little girls and spent the night with each other.

Then we grew up, got married, and had our families.

The reason I think this lady is a special person is because her husband died very young. They had four young boys. She had to raise these boys by herself.

It could not have been easy to work all day, and then clean house, wash clothes, cook meals and care for the needs of four boys.

The measure of her success as a widowed mother with four boys is seen in the lives of the boys. She did a fine job, the boys are all fine men now with families of their own. Her boys gave her a lot to be proud of.

My family and I were living away from Humboldt during a goodly party of her early family life.

I know times were hard for her, but she made it in spades. Yes, she has the right to be very proud of her four young handsome

men.Great job Betty.I know you will have

many stars in your crown in Heaven.

There are many special people here in Humboldt. I have written about some before in my little stories.

Now I want to tell you about a man that Dan and I feel is special.

This man dated my boss lady. When he came into the store where I worked, he would speak to each of us sales ladies, to shake our hands, and ask how we were doing. This impressed me very much.

I liked my boss lady’s choice from the very start.

He and my boss lady were married. Yes, I went

to their wedding.Somehow he finds out

if Dan or I are sick. He always calls to check on us. He sometimes calls to see how we are doing when we aren’t sick. He says he just wanted to check on us.

Now you see why we think a lot of this man. He is a fine person. Thank you boss lady for picking a special person like Mr. Bill.

I know that each of you has a special person you know.

Sit down and remember that special person and maybe call them and let them know how you feel about them.

You may become a special person yourself that way.

Some folks in our lives are just special blessings

urgency for the safety of all involved.”

In 2009 the county Juvenile Court processed approximately 1,649 closed cases in Juvenile Court involving 1,153 juveniles: 626 males and 527 females, said Susan Featherstone.

Com. Leon Smith of Milan was among the commissioners who toured the court and old jail building. He supports the move. “It is very crowded; the court needs more room,” said Smith. “Susan Featherstone is asking for a grant to move the court to the old jail. It will take some work to fix it, up but it can be done. Empty offices can be used, and a large room can be converted to a larger court

room than is available now. If we are given the grant it will not cost the taxpayers of Gibson Co. anything. I am in favor of the move if we can get the grant.”

will consider a formal resolution asking Gov. Bredesen and the Tennessee General Assembly to “pass no new laws imposing increased expenditure requirements on counties unless the General Assembly provides additional funding to cover increased expenditures.”

County leaders oppose “unfunded local government mandates,” and want the state to either to eliminate programs or continue to fund them at the state level, rather than passing the responsibilities to county governments.

Counties are struggling to find sufficient revenues to pay for infrastructure improvements and education funding, says the proposal.

Other resolutions March 8 call for paying about $27,500 ($7,500 over budget) for repairs to heating-cooling equipment at Chancery Building and approval of a $5,000 bond for newly elected constable Joseph Evans.

Loss of a HouseBY DON LAWRENCE

One day in late December of 1978, while visiting my boyhood hometown, Milan, Tennessee, I was shocked when I drove past the property where the home of my great uncle and aunt, Arthur and O’Della Stavely, used to stand because, to my surprise, their house was no longer there. It had been torn down to make room for a new retail store.

As I looked at the property where their house used to stand, I suddenly began to recall memories of visiting in their home with Mother and Dad when I was a child, and I was deeply saddened when I thought about the fact that, for many years, they had lived in that house and had shared life together within its walls, yet, if someone who was unfamiliar with what had happened in the Milan community in the past had driven by that location, they would never have known that Uncle Arthur and Aunt O’Della had ever lived on that “spot of earth.” It is a sobering thought for one to realize that these two people had shared a lifetime of experiences in a certain house, yet all of that was suddenly gone as if it had never happened.

Since grief is our normal reaction to any type of loss, those feelings of sadness that I was having regarding the loss of the Stavely house were a grief experience. Many persons experience grief due to the loss of a particular house. I recall an afternoon during the summer of 1963 when I stood beside an elderly gentleman near Bethel Springs, Tennessee as he wept while watching the workers tear down the old house in which he was born and had lived throughout his entire life. Although he had recently moved

into a new brick house with modern conveniences, he was grieving over the loss of his old homeplace.

Even though there are many unforgettable memories associated with these special places, one of the realities of life is that there are times when we simply cannot save these old houses that have played an important role in our lives.

One thing that brings consolation and balance to this type of grief is the realization that people are more important than houses. What is far more important than the log cabin where Abraham Lincoln was born is the person who came out of that cabin. The mind, soul, and creative spirit of a person and their contributions to the world are more important than a place.

Jim and Ann Blankenship left early Saturday morning for Brian, Ala. to three or four times a year and Lisa comes home about the same.

I went to Fabulous Females’ luncheon at Jerry’s Friday after missing December and January meetings. It was good to see everyone and especially Nell Sanford, who has been on the sick list for a long time. It was nice to have Maggie Brasfield, maybe she will be a regular. We talk, share ideas, tell of things of long ago, sometimes show pictures, etc.

My neighbor, Faith Botbyl, and I have been making Christmas baskets from our Christmas cards. Betty Williams came home with me for a pattern and a box of cards that Faith and I were going to throw away. As the saying goes, sometimes someone’s junk can be someone’s treasure. Faith and I watch it snow, talk and work on baskets. I made four and she plans to make six.

Whitney Sikes, daughter of Calvin and Sherry Sikes, is home from the hospital. Whitney had surgery in Memphis at Baptist East Hospital. She is home now and just a little sore but told in time this soreness will go away. It is nice to have youth on your side when is comes to healing.

Ten Fabulous Females had a good lunch at Jerry’s Cafe. Nell Sanford felt like joining the group, she is still having to take chemo therapy but is encouraged that this will be for a limited time. Over lunch the ladies talked about how they have been keeping busy on these cold days. To pass the time, they have been sewing, making quilts, doing crossword puzzles, watching TV, reading, painting and cleaning out closets. During these talks, we learn more about each other. Every day Grace West works a crossword puzzle in the newspaper. And she said

A reading, No Fear, was ready by Jasper Jones. St. James Praise Team, under the direction of Ms. Tanzy Reid, performed. Narrator for the Black History presentations was Miss Shaqualian Walker. Salutes to historic black firsts were given by Floretta Taylor (Shirley Chisholm); Lavoskiae Pirtle (Jesse Jackson); and Ms. Karen Patrick (Jackie Robinson). Civil Rights leaders and abolitionists included Jaccheus Kimble (Martin Luther King Jr.) and Marcus Smith Jr. (Frederick Douglas). Black educators, scholars, poets were by Montravious Smith (Booker T. Washington), Melody Wiggers (James Weldon Johnson) and Anthony Dinwiddie (Alex Haley). Highlights of Black History were presented by Derrick TyShun Seymour with excerpts of President Barack Obama. Keynote Speaker was Minister Nicholas Glenn, collegiate minister of the UT Martin. He admonished the congregation to live on Monday through Saturday

Recently, we are in the season of being reminded and celebrating a new lifestyle for black Americans and to let freedom ring. In the United States of America being reminded of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and living his dream. Also, Rosa Parks who stood up and spoke out for Civil Rights and justice for black Americans. She stood up and was heard. God bless America for a new day and a new lifestyle and being reminded of yesterday and the day before and everyone in between. Abraham Lincoln died for the cause. Dr. King stood behind Lincoln’s movement and yelled out before 5,000 people. Men, women and children have had the dream. Today the dream and giving birth to Civil Rights for black Americans lives on and we are making new history. Why not give some words of praise on these occasions.

Pete Smith was feted with a birthday party Saturday at his home with his children and grandchildren. Cake and ice cream were served and a good time by all.

Congratulations to Shelia Richardson upon her retirement from the Humboldt Post Office after 29 years of service. A host of friends, co-workers and relatives joined Shelia at the Old Country Store in Jackson for a party.

Rev. Terry Graves will be pastoring the First Baptist Church in Gadsden commencing March 7. Let’s all welcome him.

A quick get-well wish goes out to Doris Pillow. She fell and broke her wrist and then had to have surgery. Yes, she does have a cast if anyone wants to sign it.

Let’s all keep Harold Buckingham in our prayers as he’s very ill.

Get-well wishes also to Lee Miller as he spent a few days in the hospital.

Wait ‘Til Your Father Gets Home

Though the world is constantly changing, this phrase is still around. While it might be helpful to those mothers who are at the end of their rope, it sure does give dads a bad rap. After all, dad doesn’t know what’s awaiting him behind the front door. Although his children might be rightfully apprehensive, they know that he loves them even though he expects them to behave. Therefore, some appropriate repercussion is not a surprise.

Like dad, Our Heavenly Father loves us even more than we can imagine. His words to us are found in the Holy Bible. Though we may cause ourselves grief when we do not obey, God still forgives us when we ask Him to. His love never wavers. Psalm 115:11 reassures us, “You who fear him, trust in the Lord - He is their help and shield.”

Worship this week and learn more about your Father’s eternal and unconditional love.

Happy birthday to Mrs. Terri Campbell (March 7).

I am reminded of some of my family history. My father was a poor farmer and my mother was a rich Christian and I am today as well. I owe it to my mother and I learned from her. It is necessary as a child to be taught the whole truth about the family roots and history. A wise man said history is very important. History is the whole truth and cannot be erased. Every family should keep and teach the family history and tell children some of their own experiences.

Recently during the snow and ice season, I was reminded of home when I was just a little girl growing up. My sister and I would stand at the window and watch the snow birds and remember it was zero degrees outside. We would all sit around the fireplace and our father kept the fire going and our mother would cook on it. I still remember what she cooked and how good it tasted. She would fry meat like ham and red gravy and it was so good. She also would make eggs and molasses. She even

made host cake in the iron skillet. I remember the time between the evening meal, we roasted sweet potatoes in the hot ashes. They were gritty and good with real cow butter. We had no radio or TV, just the old clock on the wall that went tick tock all day and all night. Growing up I remember there was a place that you could buy a peppermint or stick of candy for a quarter or a big sucker for one penny. Soda pops were a nickel, and cheese and crackers were a nickel also. That’s the whole truth.

I am reminded of a man by the name of Mr. Alex Haley, a resident of Henning, Tenn. He thought enough about his family history that he wrote a book called Little My Roots to Black Americans. To him it was worth going to Africa and every child know their roots regardless to who and where and tell them the whole truth.

Regardless to what is said and done, no man can change the truth and the truth is as old as God. Three things man cannot change is the time, the truth and history.

CoverKids enrollment reopens LIVINGHumboldt Chronicle, Wednesday, March 3, 2010 Page 7A

Enrollment is now open for CoverKids, Tennessee’s program for uninsured children, which suspended enrollment late last year when membership reached the maximum that could be supported by the current budget.

Starting today, families with uninsured children may apply online at www.CoverKids.com or by calling 1-866-620-8864.

“We’re excited to be able to again make CoverKids available to Tennessee’s children,” said Bob Duncan, director of CoverKids and the Governor’s Office of Child Care Coordination. “The increased funding in the Governor’s budget proposal is exactly what we need to keep the program open and enrolling children in need.”

Governor Phil Bredesen’s proposed budget for FY 2010-2011 includes an additional $13.1 million in recurring state dollars to continue the CoverKids program next fiscal year, which would support increased program enrollment. Reopening enrollment on March 1, however, means children

“For three years, children across Tennessee have benefited from the quality coverage provided through CoverKids,” Bredesen said in a speech last month to members of the Tennessee Press Association. “In light of the state’s budget situation, we had to make a tough decision to suspend enrollment last year. Fortunately, we’ve been able to dig deep and find additional funding to keep this option available to families in need.”

In addition to the new state appropriation, $41.5 million in federal funds will come to Tennessee as a result of the state’s increased contribution. Combined, this budget increase will allow for continued growth in CoverKids’ membership.

As part of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, CoverKids picks up where TennCare eligibility ends and provides comprehensive health and dental coverage to children in families who cannot otherwise afford or access private health insurance.

Tennessee families earning less than 250 percent of the federal poverty level, which is $55,125 per year for a family of four, qualify for CoverKids and pay no monthly premium for the plan. Income-based co-pays are required for most services, though preventive care, including well-child visits, teeth cleanings and vision screenings are fully covered.

CoverKids is a program of Cover Tennessee, Bredesen’s initiative to address the health care needs of Tennessee’s uninsured.

Cover Tennessee offers three other programs including CoverTN, a limited benefit health plan for the working uninsured; AccessTN, which offers comprehensive health insurance for those who are uninsurable due to pre-existing medical conditions; and CoverRx, which provides access to affordable prescriptions for Tennesseans who lack pharmacy benefits.

For more information about any of the Cover Tennessee programs, visit www.CoverTN.gov or call 1-866-COVERTN.

SPORTS NOTES

BY BARRY DELOACHAfter winning their opening

round region game at Dresden on Thursday, the Lady Vikings faced a do or die situation. Win and the Lady Vikings would play in their first sub-state game in several years; lose and Lady Vikings were done for the season. Humboldt came from 11 points down at Dresden to win by nine to make it to the semifinals. On Saturday, the Lady Vikings were taking on a No. 1 seed, Lake County. The Lady Falcons were winners twice in the regular season over the Lady Vikes, once by 17 points and once by 15 points. Humboldt made four pressure free throws in the last 22 seconds to upset the No. 4 state ranked team, 58-56. Humboldt was to play Gleason for the Region 7A title on Tuesday.Humboldt 58 Lake County 56Twice during the regular season,

the Humboldt Vikings played with Lake County for a half or three quarters but seemed to run out of steam in the fourth quarter. Coach Louis Johnson said Friday night during the Vikings’ game against Clarksburg that he was going to slow the game down on Saturday night. Johnson had confidence in his team and thought they could beat the Lady Falcons.

Lake County came into the game ranked fourth in the state and was 29-3 overall, a lofty record and a swagger to go with it. The Lady Falcons ran into a running Lady Viking team that presses the entire game, and likes to get up and down the court. But on Saturday night, the Lady Vikings did not run up and down the court. They played zone, not man-to-man, and did not press.

Humboldt got things rolling with a trey from Patra Hubbard and then a jumper from Keisha King made it 5-0. By the 4:10 mark, Lake County however had a 6-5 lead. The lead bounced back and forth over the next few possessions. With 2:23 to play in the first, King hit a “3” and Humboldt was up 12-8. King hit another shot to make it 14-8 seconds later. The Lady Vikes led 16-12 after one quarter and things were looking bright.

In the second quarter, Lake County showed why they had won 29 games this season as they went on an 8-2 run and led 20-18, forcing Coach Johnson to call a timeout. After the timeout,

BY BARRY DELOACHThe Humboldt Vikings took their

first step towards Murfreesboro as they took care of Union City in the District 14A Championship last week. Before a packed crowd at Peabody High School, the Vikings used their inside height advantage to defeat the Golden Tornadoes 55-49. After winning, the Vikings had the pleasure of hosting the opening round of the Region 7A Tournament at home. Humboldt took on No. 4 seed, Clarksburg, out of District 13A and easily beat the Rockets 68-44 to advance to the region semifinals against Big Sandy.

Vikings 55 UC 49Year in and year out, it seems the

Vikings and Golden Tornadoes vie for the district title. This year was no different as both squads came ready to play. During the regular season, each team defended their home court with the Vikes winning at home by 12 and UC winning in overtime by one point. The last game the Vikings tasted defeat was to Union City in that overtime loss.

Lady Vikings to play for Region 7A title

Sub-State Berth

Jerrica Morgan tied the game with a bucket in the paint. With 3:17 to play in the half, Lake County was up 25-22. Morgan scored inside again as they had no match for her strength inside. Marquisha Emerson hit a jumper on a nice

feed from Hubbard. Morgan scored again as Amber Pearson fed her down low with 1:22 left on the clock. Hubbard banked in a shot from the wing with 52 seconds left as Humboldt led 30-25. The 8-0 run gave Humboldt

the lead. Lake County hit a shot late in the quarter to make it 30-27 at the half.

In the third, the Lady Falcons cut the lead down to one before Humboldt got patient offensively again and knocked down three

straight shots, including threes from King and Emerson. The 8-0 surge by the Lady Vikes forced a Lake Co. timeout with Humboldt in the lead 38-29. Humboldt played great defense on the next possession but Lake County hit an NBA three-pointer. Consecutive turnovers led to fouls by Humboldt. The Lady Falcons hit 3-of-4 from the line and cut the lead down to three. Humboldt answered with a bomb from Hubbard and a lay-up from King, and the Lady Vikes were up 43-35. Lake Co. came roaring back with five straight points and the lead was down to 43-40 with a minute to play in the third quarter. With 45 seconds left, King hit a huge three and Humboldt led 47-42 at the end of the period.

Three quarters down and Humboldt had a 5-point lead as the fourth quarter lurked for Coach Louis Johnson’s team. Two times this season, the Lady Vikings rolled over in the fourth but on this night, the season was on the line for the seniors. Lake County scored on the first possession of the fourth and then a Humboldt turnover led to another score. Once again it was a one-point game. Senior Hubbard hit a big 3-pointer to keep the lead for the Lady Vikings. The Lady Falcons then scored five straight and took their first lead since it was 20-18. Was the fourth quarter was about to bite the Lady Vikings once again and end their season? After another turnover by Humboldt, an intentional foul was called on the Lady Vikings. Lake County had the lead, two free throws and would get the ball out of bounds. The Lady Falcon missed both free throws and then turned the ball over on the out of bounds play. Humboldt dodged a possible bullet with 4:37 left in the game. After missing a wide-open shot, Lake Co. got the rebound and decided to air it. They dribbled over two minutes off the clock and Humboldt fouled them as they went to the basket. Once again, LC missed both free throws and Humboldt called a timeout. Hubbard took the inbounds pass and went coast-to-coast for a lay-up with 1:57 to play in the game. After a missed Lake County shot, Santia Pettigrew grabbed

The first period was a low scoring affair. Both teams struggled to score and UC held the early lead on the Vikings till Tevin Bryson scored in the paint to make it 8-6 in favor of the Vikings. The Golden Tornadoes tied it the score but Antonio Brooks gave Humboldt the lead with a jumper right at the 2:00 mark. The Vikes went scoreless the rest of the period and UC reeled off five straight points to lead 13-10.

Humboldt turned up the defensive pressure in the second period with the press and got four quick points. Union City then hit three free throws to go back on top 16-14. It would be their last lead of the night. The Vikings then went on a huge 9-0 run as Humboldt went inside and Union City was unable to stop them. The run continued as Quan Campbell drove to the hole, got fouled, hit a free throw to give the Vikes a 26-16 lead with 2:54 left in the half. Humboldt scored 18 points in the quarter and led 28-20 at the SUSPENDED IN AIR - Quan Campbell seems to defy gravity on this

shot as he hangs in air for two of his 16 points in the District 14A title win over Union City. The Vikings are 22-5 on the season and ranked No. 2 in the latest state poll.

BASELINE JUMPER - Sophomore Dominique Shivers hits a short jumper for two points in the Lady Vikings’ exciting win over No. 4 state ranked, Lake County on Saturday night. Humboldt beat the Lady Falcons 58-56 hitting four key free throws down the stretch to advance to the Region 7A finals and to sub-state on Saturday night.

the rebound. With a little over a minute to play in the game, Morgan scored down low once again and the Lady Vikings were up 54-51. With 54 seconds to play, the Lady Falcons hit two free throws to make it a one-point game once again. Coach Johnson called a timeout and on the inbounds play, Humboldt turned it over. Lake County had the ball with 51 seconds left and a chance to win the game.

Humboldt changed gears and immediately jumped into their traditional man-to-man defense. It caught the Lake County coach off guard and forced a timeout. After the timeout, Lake County drew a foul with 28 seconds left. The Lady Falcon hit two free throws to make it 55-54 in favor of Lake County. Lake County trapped Humboldt in the backcourt and committed a foul on Hubbard. With 22 seconds left, the senior

Hubbard drained two free throws to give Humboldt a 56-55 lead. Lake County missed a shot that would have given them the lead. Senior Morgan grabbed the board and got fouled with seven seconds. Morgan sank the first pressure free throw to make it 57-55 and Lake County called a timeout to try and ice the senior but Morgan tickled the twine on the second shot and Humboldt led by three. Coach Johnson called timeout and instructed his team to foul near mid-court. Two seconds ran off the clock and Humboldt fouled Lake County’s best player. She hit 1-of-2 from the line and Morgan snatched the rebound, tossed it out to Emerson and the horn sounded, sending the Lady Viking to the sub-state and sending Lake County home with a 58-56 loss.

It was a great game plan by Coach Louis Johnson and his team executed it perfectly. Humboldt played under control for the most part as their were turnovers, but overall it was their best game of the season and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The free throws in the fourth quarter were the difference. Lake County was 8-of-11 through three quarters but made only 5-of-10 from the line in the fourth when it counted. Humboldt didn’t go to the line much all game. In the first three periods, the Lady Vikings were 1-of-3 but in the fourth period, game on the line, the season was hanging on the finger tips of Hubbard and Morgan at the charity stripe.

Both seniors came through and the season continues.

Hubbard, King and Morgan led the way with 18, 17 and 14 respectively. Emerson had five points in the win followed by two each for Pettigrew and Shivers. Humboldt improves to 16-11 on the season and will now face No. 2 in the state, Gleason for the title.Humboldt 55 Dresden 46The huge win over Lake

County in the semifinals almost didn’t happen. To get to the semifinals, the Lady Vikings had to travel to Dresden to take on a Lady Lions team that was ranked in the top 10 during the regular season and was the second seed out of District 13A.

Dresden jumped out on Humboldt early as the Lady Vikes were ice cold from the field and the press was giving up several easy buckets. With 2:38 to play in the quarter, Humboldt trailed 11-4. Humboldt cut it down to four but the Lady Lions scored twice before the horn sounded and the Lady Vikes were down by eight headed to the second frame.

In the second period, Dresden ran their lead to as many as 11 points before the Lady Vikings figured out the new press they had just put in for this particular game. Humboldt forced turnovers off the trap and by the 3:02 mark. The Lady Vikings pulled within four points as Emerson nailed a bomb. Dresden answered with a three as well to make it 25-18 with 2:26 left in the second. Humboldt closed the quarter with a 5-0 run and the momentum had begun to swing, as it was a two-point game.

Defense wins games; it leads to turnovers and easy buckets, and confidence begins to overflow. With Dresden leading 27-25, Humboldt turned up the heat at the beginning of the second half. Three and half minutes in, the Lady

Vikings had their first lead of the game. Three minutes after that Humboldt had put the finishing touches on a 13-0 run and Dresden called timeout, trailing 38-27 with 1:45 to play in the third. Humboldt outscored Dresden 17-6 in the pivotal third quarter and the Lady Lions weren’t done just yet.

Dresden came roaring back in the fourth period and with 1:23 to play in

the game, it was 49-46 in favor of the Lady Vikings. Dresden went into foul mode and Humboldt went 6-of-8 from the line in the last 1:19 of the game to seal a 55-46 win over the Lady Lions.

King had 17 in the game to lead Humboldt followed by Hubbard’s 14, Emerson with nine, Morgan with six, Shivers with five and Pettigrew with four.

The 2010 Tennessee Fishing Regulations (effective March 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011) are being distributed to license agents across the state, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). The regulations can be picked up at all TWRA regional offices and anywhere hunting and fishing licenses are sold. It will also be available soon at www.tnwildlife.org.

The regulations for 2010 are printed in a color magazine format with larger print for easier reading. The regulations contain helpful sections that cover everything from hook, line and sinker, fish identification, state record fish, phone numbers to obtain the latest water release schedules for TVA and Corps of Engineers dams in Tennessee, and much more. Major changes for 2010 can be found on page 2, in the “New 2010 regulations” section.Preseason turkey calling

prohibited on WMAsThe TWRA would like

to remind hunters that calling wild turkeys from March 1 to the opening day of spring turkey hunts on wildlife management areas is prohibited.

Hunters are not allowed to call or attempt to call wild turkeys using any sound that mimics those made by a wild turkey.

March is an excellent time to be in the woods listening for birds gobble as they leave the roost. Just before or shortly after daylight is a good time to use a locator call (crow calls, owl calls, etc.) to make a turkey shock gobble.

The reason for this regulation is to minimize the possibility of making gobblers call-shy before the hunting season opens.

Remember that this regulation only applies to wildlife management areas, not to private lands.

break.In the second half, UC

came out hot and let the Vikings know that they were not going to lie down without a fight. Humboldt turnovers led to easy buckets for the Golden Tornadoes. Union City slowed the game down and became patient on offense and got to within 30-27 with 3:54 left in the third. The Vikes went on another run. Bryson scored down low. Campbell hit a runner in the paint. Rendell Martin fed Brooks with a pass on the wing and knocked down a trey. In 28 seconds, the Vikes had scored seven consecutive points to push the lead back to double digits. Up by nine with 1:30 left in the quarter, Bryson went on a tear and scored three straight buckets and Humboldt was up 43-32 at the end of three quarters.

In the fourth, the Golden Tornadoes would just not quit as they opened the quarter with an 8-2 run and the Humboldt lead was down to five points. Dunbar went to work on the next two Viking possessions and scored twice to make it 49-40. Union City scored on back-to-back Viking turnovers and the 9-point lead shrank back to five. Coach Boykin called a timeout and wanted to slow the action down over the last four minutes of the game. After a missed shot, UC worked for a good shot but missed and Bryson was

there for the rebound with 2:03 left in the contest. As Humboldt continued to spread the floor, the Golden Tornadoes went into foul mode with the Vikings leading 49-44. Free throws have been a thorn in the Vikings side all season long. The loss at UC in overtime was due to a poor night at the charity stripe. Heading into the last two minutes of the game, Humboldt was a collective 4-of-8 from the line. Fifty-percent from the line is a good formula to lose a close game. The Vikings last six points came from the line as Brooks, Campbell and Myron McCurry each hit two free throws to seal the win for the Vikings at 55-49.

Humboldt had three players in double digits with Campbell and Brooks tossing in 16 points each, Brooks with 11, Dunbar with eight and McCurry with four points in the win. It was the Vikings’ 21st win of the season and second straight District 14A title.

When I was a kid we ate a lot of bologna…a LOT

of bologna! Mostly, we ate “Rag” bologna cause it was

cheaper than “All Meat” bologna, and if you’ve got five kids “cheap” is

your middle name! I’d still rather have a fried bologna

sandwich, with salad dressing and hot sauce,

instead of the finest steak!

minutes later, Brooks hit a mid-range jumper and the lead was 14-1. Clarksburg scored their first field goal with 4:07 left in the quarter. Dunbar’s steal and slam brought the Viking faithful to their feet as Humboldt led 16-3. Just before the quarter ended, Campbell hit a floater in the lane and the Vikes led 25-7.

Humboldt played well defensively in the first half as the Vikings had a huge height advantage. Martin had three blocked shots in the first half. C.C. Moody hit a trey to start the second quarter scoring. The lead hovered around 13-15 points most of the quarter. With 2:47 to play in the half, the Rockets trailed 32-19. The Vikings then went on an 8-0 run as Martin, Bryson, J.K. Kimble and Brooks all scored and Humboldt led 40-19 with 54 ticks left in the half. Clarksburg hit a shot late in the half for a 40-21 halftime score.

As well as the Vikings played in the first half, they played just the opposite in the second half. Play was sloppy, turnovers were numerous, and Coach Boykin was not a happy coach. The Vikings scored just 11 points in the third period and maintained their big lead but Coach B was not impressed with the lackadaisical attitude of his team.

In the fourth period, several Vikings got in playing time as the game was decided except for the final score. Humboldt rolled to a 68-44 win as Grant Armstrong hit a three in the last 10 seconds of the game for the 24-point win.

The Vikes had four players in double digits with Campbell 17, Bryson, Dunbar and Martin, all with 10 points, Brooks with six, Kimble with four, Moody, McCurry and Armstrong three each, and Chris McLilly with two points.

Humboldt was to play Big Sandy on Monday in the Region 7A semifinals.

award is the result of the hard work, dedication, and commitment to innovation and student success of many professionals at the college.”

Betty Frost, associate professor of mathematics, and Mary Jane Bassett, dean of academic support, led a team of Jackson State faculty and staff to re-design the developmental math courses at the college. The program is entitled SMART Math: Removing Roadblocks to College Success. The acronym SMART stands for survive, master, achieve, review and transfer.

Before SMART Math,

students who needed developmental studies in mathematics took three separate classes - basic math, elementary algebra and intermediate algebra. Now, through the work of this team in collaboration with faculty and staff from all areas of the college, students are required to take only the modules that are relevant to their career goals. Instead of taking three semesters to complete three separate courses, now students can move through the twelve modules they need at their own pace and complete the program much sooner.

The JSCC team also created the SMART Math Center, located in the Nelms Classroom Building on the Jackson campus, which houses course content modules, video lectures, online homework and testing

from MyMathLab, and provides a place for students to receive immediate assistance from instructors and tutors. Student learning is supported by online tutorials, instructor-led discussion groups, organized group study and one-on-one tutoring. The SMART Math Center offers special assistance for students who fall behind in scheduled work and acceleration for students who are capable of moving through objectives more quickly.

According to the exit research done by the SMART Math team, the program has reduced the total cost per student by over 20-percent, while increasing the pass rate of students by 54-percent.

CONCURRENT NOTICE

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ANDNOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

March 3, 2010City of Humboldt1421 Osborne StreetHumboldt, TN 38343-2869731-784-2511

These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Humboldt.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about March 19, 2010, the City of Humboldt will submit a request to the Department of Economic and Community Development for the release of Title I of the Housing and Community Development act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as the Craddock Street Home Rehabilitation Project for the purpose of rehabilitating or reconstructing homes in the Craddock Street area with an estimated funding of $500,000.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

The City of Humboldt has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment, therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the Humboldt City Hall in Humboldt, TN and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to the Mayor’s Office. All comments received by March 19, 2010 will be considered by the City of Humboldt prior to authorizing submission of a request to release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

RELEASE OF FUNDS

The City of Humboldt certifies to the Tennessee Department of Economic and community Development that Allen Barker, in his capacity as Mayor, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (ECD) approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Humboldt‘s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following basis:

(a) The certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Humboldt;

(b) The City of Humboldt has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58;

(c) The grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development; or

(d) Another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.

Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to the State of Tennessee, Department of Economic and Community Development, Program Management, William R. Snodgrass Tennessee Tower, 10th Floor, 312 Rosa Parks Ave., Nashville, Tennessee 37243-1102. Potential objectors should contact the Program Management Office to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

NOTICE OF EXPLANATION

The City of Humboldt intends to rehabilitate homes in the Craddock Street area in Humboldt. Approximately seven to ten homes will be rehabilitated or reconstructed. This project is located in the 100 year floodplain. Homes located in the floodplain shall be relocated to lots outside the floodplain. The homes are substandard. There is, therefore, no practical alternative to the proposed project.

The proposed home relocations will be done in conformance with regulations by the City of Humboldt building codes. The proposed action will not affect natural or beneficial floodplain values as it represents an improvement to existing homes.

Failure to provide these relocations would result in sustaining homes existing in the floodplain.

The other funding agency involved in this project is the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development with funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
