They were logging the bigwoods where Elkmont RuralVillage now sits when

“Snake Man” and his loggingcrew started topull out some bigsnakes from thatarea.

The head chief ofthe logging crewwas known to usonly as “Snake

Man” because of the big rat-tlesnakes he captured, not deadmind you, but alive.

Snake Man was in the woods allsummer logging those big treesfor timber. He pulled out a lot ofbig logs, but the talk around ourcommunity that summer was not

the timber he was cutting, but therattlesnakes he captured.

It was in the mid-1960’s. Snakeman, I believe, was fromLouisiana, a Cajun at heart. Heloved his rattlesnakes and somesaid he was going to take themback to Louisiana to sell. But untilhe left those woods just west ofHighway 127 at the top of the hillnear Elkmont Crossroads, he hadthe town buzzing.

People came from near and far tosee those rattlesnakes he hadcaged on the grounds in front ofthe country store at the top of thehill. They were in caged boxeswith screens over the top. Whendisturbed, the snakes would rat-tle, coil, and strike the screens to

let people know they were there.

If you wonder why I’m writingabout this is because of a featureI watched on television the otherday. It warned of poisonoussnakes such as rattlesnakes andhow to avoid being bitten by one.Rattlesnakes are not as commontoday here as they were backwhen Snake Man was in town.

I never heard the method he usedto catch those reptiles, but I re-member he caught some mon-sters - some as big around as aman’s arm. The Snake Man,some said, was a mountaineerfrom the swamps who was afraidof nothing. I was too young backthen to remember him, but heleft Elkmont that year with a story

I will never forget.

We lived just off Highway 127.The property he was logging wasbehind our home. We never real-ized there were that many rattlersin the woods behind our house. Iguess we’re thankful he tooksome of them back to Louisianathat summer.

Students and parents partici-pating in a program to com-bat school tardiness,

absenteeism and drop-out rateswill work this summer in the dirt.

The students and parents who arepart of the Truancy InterventionProgram are going to volunteer onTuesdays at the Athens FarmersMarket Community Garden indowntown Athens. Groups willcome from 1 to 2:30 p.m. and 3 to4:30 p.m. starting with an orienta-tion on June 9 and volunteering inthe gardens beginning June 16and ending Aug. 11.

The Truancy Intervention Programis collaboration between AthensState University and the LimestoneCounty Juvenile Court. TIP acts asa liaison between students, par-ents, teachers, school administra-tors, truancy officers, court andcommunity agencies. Athens Statecriminal justice professor QuandaStevenson created TIP in 2012. Itis an interactive after-school andsummer program requiring chil-dren ages 5 to 18 years old whoare identified by their school, par-ent, family court, or other commu-nity agencies to participate in aprogram linking them to educa-tional services outside of theschool setting.

The Farmers Market CommunityGarden is collaboration betweenKeep Athens-Limestone Beautiful,Spirit of Athens, City of Athens, andLimestone County and is locatedon West Green Street at the Farm-ers Market pavilion. It includes var-ious types of gardens includingcontainer beds, keyhole beds andhugelkultur beds, which are bedsmade from rotting wood andmounds of dirt.

“This is truly a great example ofteaching, learning and collaborat-ing within the community,” saidStevenson, who is helping coordi-nate the TIP community serviceproject.

TIP requires the child and his orher parent to complete communityservice hours. Stevenson saidthese service hours allow parentsand their children to learn how toassist others in need, how to workon a team project, and how to

value the outcome of a finishedproject.

Athens State biology professorSara Cline will assist with the biol-ogy education aspect of the proj-ect. Amanda Smith, an AthensState student majoring in biologyand criminal justice, is coordinat-ing the TIP volunteers as part ofher summer independent studyproject. She said weekly activitiesfor participants will include weed-ing, harvesting, recording typesand amounts of vegetables har-vested, and delivering produce toLimestone County Churches In-volved for its food bank.

“We hope the children and theirfamilies will enjoy the opportunityto learn more about the scientificapproach to planting and harvest-ing while also learning how tovalue work and creating a goodwork ethic,” Stevenson said.

Keep Athens-Limestone BeautifulExecutive Coordinator Lynne Hartsaid volunteers keep the Commu-nity Garden project ongoing. Itbegan in 2013 with a $20,000Lowe’s/Keep America BeautifulGrant.

“KALB is so pleased to have vol-unteers from the community will-ing to take time to help with thegarden and in turn provide freshproduce to neighbors in need,”Hart said. “The involvement of theTruancy Intervention Program stu-dents will offer them the opportu-

nity to be involved in somethingthey can feel good about. Eachand every volunteer is a gift to theCommunity Garden.”

Volunteers and the CommunityGarden Committee will plantcherry tomatoes, squash, beans,okra and other produce. There willbe a sign-up sheet where resi-dents and other communitygroups like the TIP group can reg-ister to volunteer throughout theseason. On Tuesday, June 9, for ex-ample, members of Athens HighSchool’s Pi Beta Sigma will seal thegazebo and pull weeds and fix thelandscaping around the gazebo. Theywill be working from noon to 2:30p.m. Those interested in volunteeringcan contact Hart at 256-233-8728 orby email at info@keepathenslime-

stonebeautiful.com.

Pictures from last year’s boat party.

Memorial Day 2015, I hadthe honor of having localfisherman, Jerry Lawler,

accompany me to Michigan for a“once in a lifetime” fishing trip.

Our destination was the GreatLakes watershed on famed LakeSt. Clair. This mini Great Lakesits between Lake Huron andLake Erie with the St. Clair Riverflowing into it, and the Detroit

river flowing out.Two thirds of thelake is in Canada .This is very bigwater - so big thatyou can’t seeacross it.

I was born andraised here. I had many adven-tures on the Great Lakes. Ilearned to fish and navigate bigwater. For many years, I would re-turn during the warm months toenjoy the outstanding small-mouth bass fishing. I returnedwith tales of just how fantasticthis fishery is.

After many years, Jerry gave inand booked a flight. Lake St.Clair did not let us down. Theweather was quite “iffy”. Highwinds and storms added to thechallenge. Fishing out of my 22ft. Bullet bass boat helped handlethe water and kept us safe.

I arrived a few days early and wasable to locate feeding fish soJerry would have a good “guidetrip”. We caught 44 fish on ourfirst day. The fish were in 6 to 8ft. of water. Jerkbaits were catch-ing fish with water temps around61 degrees. The wind blew out ofthe south straight up 25 miles ofopen water, and it was rough.Finding it hard to cast the lightjerkbait in the wind, I changed toa 5 inch swimbait, and it wasgame on!. The second day we

caught 55 fish, mostly on theswimbait in four foot waves.Thursday was a dream day. Calm69 degree water temperatureand no wind met us at the ramp.We caught 20 on top water withZara Spooks early and were ableto bed fish with a drop shot toend up with 87 fish for that dayalone! Forty of these weighedover four pounds.

We are still trying to wipe thesmile off our faces...until nextyear’s return “trip of a lifetime.”

It has been closed for decades now, butthe mere mention of it can start a waveof nostalgia for folks from all over who

remember spending hot, lazy Alabamasummer afternoons floating in HatfieldLake.

“My mom would take a day off work duringthe summer and her and my brother andme would be there by the time the gateswere opened and stay all day,” MelissaBelt reminisced. “She couldn’t swim but

she would lay out bigblankets and pack acooler and sit andwatch us. Best bolognasandwiches I ever hadcame from thosedays.”

Belt was one of manywho have shared

memories of Hatfield Lake, Drive-In andRoller Rink each time photos of the sum-mer fun venue have been posted on Face-book sites like “You know you are fromAthens if…”

“The best place ever for teenagers to hangout,” said Brenda Johnson. “It is sad our

children and grandchildren don’t have aplace like this to hang out. Loved Mr. HaysMoore, Travis Schrimsher and MiltonSouth. They were such a good influenceon kids.”

For Tracy Brooks, a trip to Hatfield was amoney-making opportunity.

“My mother and dad would take me therewhen I was a young kid,” Brooks said. “Mymother would give me $1.00 every time Ijumped off the high dive…. I miss thosedays. Life was so easy then.”

Hatfield Lake was named for Jim Hatfield,who in the 1930s dug the swimming pool– at one time billed as “the largest con-crete swimming pool in North Alabama,fed by pure spring water” – with the assis-tance of a mule and a man named JamesThomas Strain.

Long before Hatfield dug the lake, the120-acre property was one of the first tobe settled in Limestone County, by a familynamed Keyes who came from South Car-olina in 1820. Ten years later, HowellFeatherstone bought the property and hisson, John Featherstone, built a two-storyhome there for his bride. After John was

wounded in the battle of Gettysburg, hesold the house and property to William G.Johnson in 1869.

After Johnson came the Getty and Hivelyfamilies… and rumors of oil on the land.Neighbors saw wagons carrying cable tothe property and when a “for sale” signwent up, they said the owner spent somuch money in his fruitless quest for oilthat he was forced to sell the property.N.C. Braly bought the land in 1924, madeimprovements, and then sold it in 1930 toHatfield.

Hatfield was the first to capitalize on therecreational potential of his man-madelake, adding campsites and a large picnicarea. When William Myers bought theproperty in 1936, he added the skatingrink that was the site of many a match-

making for couples still together today, in-cluding Athens Mayor Ronnie Marks andhis wife Sandra.

Fred Rainey also owned Hatfield Lake be-fore selling it to Hosea Bartlett in 1962.Bartlett ran the lake for 10 years.

“I grew up at Hatfield and still wish it wasopen,” said Sandra Bartlett Scott,Bartlett’s daughter. “I skated all winter andswam all summer. Wonderful childhoodmemories, and lots of friendships to cher-ish.”

It was likely during Bartlett’s ownershipthat this picture postcard was printed.

“Don’t know the year, but if it was after1957 and before 1971, I was probablysomewhere in this photo,” said ThomasClem. “I lived there in the summer.”

Hatfield Lake eventually closed in the early1980s, while the lake technically is stillthere today, it is now an overgrown andrusted ghost of its sunny history.

Note: Some information in thisarticle came from the book“Treasures of Athens andLimestone County” byBetty L. Taylor.

The boys from the hollerwere busy this time of theyear chopping cotton. Farm-

ers were always on the look outfor what they referred to as fieldhands.

To be a good fieldhand one musthave a strongback and be reli-able. The driverwould pick up theworkers at 6 a.m.

and stop by the country store.This was an opportunity for theworkers to buy their lunch for theday. Sliced bologna and hoopcheese was the favorite lunch formany of the customers.

Gallon glass jugs wrapped inbrown paper bags and was filledwith spring or well water for hy-dration in the field. Sardines andpork & beans was one of my fa-vorites, topped off with saltinecrackers. A jelly glass jar wasoften used as a glass for drinkingwater.

Men and women made up the

cotton chopping workforce. Thefields located in the bottom landaround Elk River had some rowsnearly a mile long. The practicewas to remove unwanted grass orweeds from the cotton plants. Ifthe cotton was planted too closetogether some of the plants werealso removed.

In June, the summer sun wouldbeat down on you. Big hats andlong sleeve shirts were the com-mon dress. After one worked upa good sweat, you could toleratethe heat. We all looked forwardto lunch time eating, and it alsomeant the work day was over halfover. The workers had duties athome feeding live stock, and thequitting time in the field was 3 to4 o’clock.

On the really hot days Humpy,Dalton, and I would get off thetruck as we crossed Shoal Creek.The cool water of the creek feltgreat and would cool us off froma hard day of chopping cotton.Swimming in the creek was oneof our summer past times. After a

swim, we would walk a mile orso home where Grandma wouldhave a good supper cooked.

Fried chicken, boiled corn, andfried taters and corn bread wasmy favorite meal. When the black-berries were in season, you couldcount on a pie serving as dessert.

Bed time came pretty early, andsleeping sometimes was hard todo in a house with no fan. Oftenwe would make a pallet on the

front porch in an attempt to getsome cool air. The next morningyou might awake with a hounddog snuggled up to you.

Every now and then I hear some-one say they missed the ‘good olddays’. I beg to differ with thatthinking. The slower life style andspending personal time with eachother was wonderful, but the heatI can do without.

SEARCHING FOR TRUTH by Kevin Harrington, Marion Street Chuch of Christby Kevin Harrington, Marion Street Chuch of Christ


In honor of Fa-ther’s Day beingjust around the

corner, here is atouching story onthe power ofbeing a father:

“David Elkind, apsychologist, tells the story of vis-iting his middle son's nurseryschool class, at the request of histeacher. She wanted him to ob-serve a "problem child" in theclass.

While he was there, he caught aconversation between his sonand some other boys. Their con-versation went like this…

Child A: "My daddy is a doctorand he makes lots of money andwe have a swimming pool."

Child B: "My daddy is a lawyerand he flies to Washington and

talks to the president."

Child C: "My daddy owns a com-pany and we have our own air-plane."

Then David Elkind's boy said, "Mydaddy is here!" And he proudlylooked in his father's direction.”

~James S. HewettBeing a father is an amazing priv-ilege and honor. Unfortunately,some men view their position asfather as a full time job with nopay, no vacation time, and nobenefits. They treat their kids asan annoyance instead of a bless-ing.

The Bible tells us that childrenare a blessing from the Lord (Ps.127:3). We need to treat our chil-dren as the gifts they are.

Place your child in the above con-versation between schoolmates.

Would your child be more con-cerned about the job you haveand the money you make orwould they be happier to seeyou? As fathers, it is our responsi-bility to establish priorities in thehome. We set the tone for the en-tire family.

God made us men as the head ofthe household (1 Corinthians11:3). This is not a task thatshould be taken lightly. Many ofus take our secular jobs seriously,but do we take our jobs as fa-thers seriously as well?

Where have you set the priori-ties? Are your family’s prioritieson sports, school, awards,movies, money, jobs, etc.? Orhave you set the priorities onthings like God, Jesus, church,the Bible, quality family time, andlove?

Here are a few things to try withyour family:

• Read your Bible together: takea few minutes out of your busyday and spend time in God’sword as a family.

• Pray together: It’s importantthat your kids not only learn howto pray, but that they hear youpray. Thank God for your familyand pray for your children so theycan hear.

• Spend quality time together:pick a movie, order a pizza andspend the evening as a family.

Family is important. Children areimportant. Being a father is im-portant. God gave you a job.Don’t be an absent father. Letyour children know “Daddy ishere!”

Mallory Birdwell demonstrating treepose in yoga at Savvy Kids Fitness.

Ahorse will often times de-velop some unwanted be-haviors; usually unwanted

by us. To the horse it may bepleasurable or en-joyable. Some-times thesebehaviors becomeconditioned re-sponses; in otherwords, habits a

horse learns, sometimes taughtby us humans. A horse is condi-tioned to do certain things whenreinforcement is applied. If the re-inforcement, positive or negative,makes the horse comfortable,the response becomes a condi-tioned response.

Think about your horse andsomething he may have done anda negative response was appliedby you, such as a punishment issometimes rewarding in that itgains attention for the horse. Thisis the same as in children anddogs. Sometimes misbehavior isto gain attention which is whypunishment often times makesmisbehavior worse. When I usethe tern punishment, I am refer-ring to discomfort NOT being bru-tal of aggressive. Discomfort

should be used in such a waythat the horse thinks he is doingit to himself rather than blamingyou for it.

For instance, one behavior that isunwanted is biting or beingnippy. First of all, don’t teach orcause your horse to becomemouthy. One thing that will teachthem to be mouthy is hand feed-ing, treats or feed. (I don’t allowmy horses to have treats or forthat matter anything that sayscomfort, from anyone other thanme, that’s another article forlater)

If you do have a horse that ismouthy or tends to want to bite,one way to help change this un-wanted behavior is; set the horseup for this interruption in behav-ior. Be in the proper position andready to apply the appropriatepressure. When the horse putshis nose in your space you just in-terrupt that intrusion by quicklybumping their nose using yourelbow or whichever body partthey are coming toward and thencontinue with what you weredoing. Don’t be angry becauseyou are probably the one whotaught this behavior in the first

place. {A’INT it amazing what weteach our horses by not knowinghow to teach our horses?} Thehorse then thinks he caused thebump on his nose, sort of anelectric shock, after a few timesof consistency and knowing howto handle this situation, the horsewill cease in this behavior. Youhave just conditioned a new re-sponse.

Don’t correct these behaviorsusing anger or with a growl in

your voice. Just be assertive andthink like your horse thinks anddo what another horse would do.That’s what will work best.
