Do you get discouraged when you hear your telephone ring? Do you avoid using your phone because hearing difficulties make it hard to understand the person on the other end of the line? For many Americans the telephone conversation – once an important part of everyday life – has become a thing of the past. Because they can’t understand what is said to them on the phone, they’re often cut off from friends, family, doctors and caregivers. Now, thanks to innovative technology there is finally a better way.

A simple idea… made possible with sophisticated technology. If you have trouble understanding a call, the Captioning Telephone can change your life. During a phone call the words spoken to you appear on the phone’s screen – similar to closed captioning on TV. So when you make or receive a call, the words spoken to you are not only amplified by the phone, but scroll across the phone so you can listen while reading everything that’s said to you. Each call is routed through a call center, where computer technology – aided by a live representative – generates immediate voice-to-text translations. The captioning is real-time, accurate and readable. Your conversation is private and the captioning service doesn’t cost you a penny. Captioned Telephone Service (CTS) is regulated and funded by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and is designed exclusively for individuals with hearing loss. In order to use CTS in your home, you must have standard telephone service and high-speed Internet

connectivity where the phone will be used. Callers do not need special equipment or a captioning phone in order to speak with you.

Finally… a phone you can use again. The Captioning Telephone is also packed with features to help make phone calls easier. The keypad has large, easy

to use buttons. You get adjustable volume amplification along with the ability to save captions for review later. It even has an answering machine that provides you with the captions of each message.

See for yourself with our exclusive home trial. Try the Captioning Telephone in your own home and if you are not completely amazed,

simply return it within 60-days for a refund of the product purchase price. It even comes with a 5-year warranty.

Mississippi is ...... vast bodies of water in the bayous, rivers and the MississippiSound. It’s catching perch in the afternoon on the bank ofBernard Bayou, and rising early before the sun to catch Boun-der and specks on the beach piers. And gazing back at thebeautiful white, sandy beach. It’s the moss hanging from thehuge oaks and the smell of fresh mown grass along the drivedown Highway 90. Mississippi is hearing a blues band on theTown Green in Biloxi or attending the Crab Fest in Bay St.Louis. It’s eating watermelon straight from the farm. It’s theAreworks displays along the beach front on the Fourth of July.

March 2014 � Today in Mississippi � 3

The emergence of daffodils is a welcomed sight after weeks of gloomy winter weath-er in Mississippi. We may yet have another freeze, but these cheery blooms assure usthat warm weather is just around the corner.

or my column this month, I couldtell you that last week Dr. JulioFriedmann, the deputy assistant sec-retary of the Department of Energy,testiAed before a House energy com-mittee that required use of certain

technologies for capturing and storing green-house gases would increase wholesale electricityprices 70 to 80 percent.I could write about www.action.coop, where

you, as a cooperative member, can send a mes-sage to the Environmental Protection Agency totell them to use an “all of the above” approachto meeting our future energy needs. And not toissue burdensome regulations that would virtual-ly eliminate coal as a fuel source.But it’s March and for us good ole boys in

Mississippi, March means ... spring turkey sea-son!I went on my Arst turkey hunt in the spring

of 2001, when a friend invited me, and I havebeen hooked ever since. I have found that turkeyhunters aren’t just hunters, they are rabid turkeyhunters!I don’t know why it is so easy to get hooked

on this sport. Maybe it’s because it appeals toour inner child, which as any woman will attestto, is a big part of every man. Cere is just some-thing about dressing in camo from head to toeand sneaking around in the woods and trying toAnd these birds, which are very intuitive if notsmart.And there are the “toys”! Oh yeah, turkey

hunters have lots of equipment. First, you haveto have the calls. To kill the turkey, you mustArst call the turkey to you. Cis requires the useof a call, but not just one. You can use a boxcall, a slate call, a striker call, a mouth call and—for those of little skill or conscience—an elec-tronic call. And you need several of each type,plus a bag to carry them and a vest to carry themwhile hunting.

Cen there are the clothes. You have to betotally concealed, so camouBage is a must. Butbecause of the unpredictable springtime weatherin Mississippi, you need warm camo, cool camo,

bug-proof camo, rain-gear camo and snake-proof boots.And then there is the

gun. Your dove, duck,deer, rabbit, squirrel gunwill not work. Only a spe-cial camo, 12 gauge, fullexternal choke, 3 1/2 inchshell turkey gun will do.Even as my wife protests,“Do you really think theturkey cares what kind ofgun you shoot him with?”

Well, as a rabid turkey hunter, I care!Cen there are the teachable life moments

that come from turkey hunting: how you haveto have a plan and prepare in order to be suc-cessful. I remind my son every year, who is now16, the gobbler is chasing a hen when he getsshot! Cat is a life lesson for a man of any age.My greatest joy in turkey hunting happened

last year on opening weekend. On my father-in-law’s land on the Mississippi/Louisiana border, Icalled up a turkey and my son killed him. It washis Arst bird and a thrill for both father and son.I have the picture on my desk, and the fan, feetand beard are mounted in his room. Lucky forus, his room is so messy my wife still hasn’t real-ized it’s in there.For turkey hunters, the wait is almost over

and soon we will be in the woods. For the rest ofyou, visit www.action.coop. It just might helpyou save money on your electric bill for years tocome.

By Debbie StringerHe has been called the “Space Man”by students at French Camp Academy.But outside the school’s orbit, EdwinFaughn is widely known as a space sci-ences lecturer and painter of space art.His science-based paintings of extra-

solar planets, star clusters and super-novae have illustrated every major sci-ence publication and been exhibitedinternationally. And hundreds of hisspace science presentations have beenenjoyed by audiences of all ages and alltypes, from young scouts to professionalastronomers.As director of the FCA’s Rainwater

Observatory and Planetarium, Faughnchannels his artistic talent and passionfor astronomy to bene>t the ChoctawCounty facility.Situated on a rural ridge near the

Natchez Trace Parkway, Rainwater ishome to some two dozen telescopes,including some of the largest scopes inthe Southeast. Faughn describes Rain-water as “a window to the splendor ofthe heavens.”

@ere he leads popular educationalprograms open to the public and hostsspecial events for groups and organiza-tions. Coming up this month is Rainwa-ter’s annual Midsouth Star Gaze andAstronomy Conference (see sidebar).French Camp Academy, a Christian

boarding school and member of 4-County Electric Power Association,hired Faughn about >ve years ago towork as assistant director under Jim Hill.A former FCA instructor and amateurastronomer, Hill led a group of volun-teers in creating the observatory in 1985with a donated 16-inch re?ector tele-scope housed in a used 10-foot dome.Under Hill’s leadership, Rainwater grewto become one of the largest observato-ries in the region.Faughn became director upon Hill’s

retirement. He brought a new set ofskills to the post, having worked 20years as artist, photographer and artdirector at the Pink Palace Museum’sSharpe Planetarium, in Memphis, and asa successful freelance space science illus-trator.

With the help of volunteers, Faughn isrenovating Rainwater’s facilities, restor-ing telescopes and repairing equipment.Faughn has a sta= of none, so the volun-teer labor is crucial.“Just in the short time I’ve been here,

I’ve realized just how dependent I am onvolunteers,” Faughn said. “It’s a collec-tive e=ort.”Scouts throughout the South come to

Rainwater each year to camp, help withrenovations and building projects, and

Eyes on the SkiesSpectacles in space captivate Rainwater Observatory’s

Edwin Faughn

Edwin Faughn, top, a nationally known space sciences lecturer and space artist, is leading efforts to bring Rain-water Observatory, to the next level of service and functionality. One of the newer additions is the Sangre 25-inch fully automated Ritchey-Chretien telescope, above, housed in the large observatory dome atop the ruralChoctaw County ridge. Photos courtey of Edwin Faughn

earn merit badges. Church groups,museum professionals, sta; membersand many other volunteers also lend ahand as needed.

Rainwater has bene<tted through theyears from generous donations of equip-ment and funds, and from researchgrants. Faughn plans to expand that sup-port by o;ering sponsorships to corpora-tions and businesses.

Given his museum background, it’sno surprise that another of Faughn’s pri-orites is the observatory’s collection ofartifacts, such as meteorites and scalemodels. Faughn called on former col-leagues at the Pink Palace to help assessand restore the collection, which will be

displayed in Rainwater’s renovated lec-ture hall.

“I want to see them under glass andproperly displayed, because we havesome quality artifacts here,” he said.

On one wall hangs Faughn’s paintingof an asteroid as it would appear secondsbefore impact on Earth. >e 6-mile-widechunk of rock traveling at 1,000 mphabove the blue Earth dominates the can-vas with in-your-face boldness.

“Say it hit the Gulf of Mexico,”Faughn said. “It would send a tsunamiout at thousands of miles per hour andthousands of feet high. >e wave, whenit hit the coast, would go up pastKansas.”

Faughn enjoys sharing such jaw-drop-ping tibits of science. He seeks not tosensationalize but to convey thegrandeur of the universe—and how tinywe are in the midst of “something fargreater than any one of us can begin tocomprehend,” he said.

“God’s creation is o; the scale. Idon’t understand it and I have a millionquestions, but it’s exciting for me tostudy it,” he said.

Astronomy grabbed hold of Faughnwhen he was a young boy. “My dad saidI always had my head in the sky.”

When his parents gave him a 6-inchtelescope around age 8, he turned it onthe moon, then the trees; he didn’tknow then he could have seen the ringsaround Saturn and Jupiter’s moons—allfrom his backyard in Paragould, Ark.

In high school, Faughn was inspiredby astronomer Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos”TV series. “He had a very powerful wayof talking about the beauty and majestyof the heavens.” >e series also gaveFaughn his <rst look at <ne-qualityspace art rooted in science.

While in college studying graphicdesign, he met Kermit Rhea, a localastronomer. Recognizing Faughn’s gen-uine interest in astronomy and space art,Rhea invited him to view the heavens athis personal observatory.

“He started teaching me how to doreal high-end technical drawings throughhigh-powered telescopes, like detaileddrawings of the surface of Mars.”

Rhea became a mentor who not onlyencouraged Faughn to apply for the jobof artist at the Pink Palace but also


Faughn’s highly realistic space artwork is based on scientific research data, not fantasy, and a good dose of hisimagination. His works include, from top, images of matter swirling into a black hole; a ringed gas giant beyondour solar system, as viewed from one of its moons; and a binary star system seem from a desert extrasolarworld.

Rainwater Observatory and Planetari-um in French Camp will host the 2014Midsouth Stargaze and Astronomy Con-ference March 26-29.The annual event attracts participants

and presenters from around the countryfor four days of learning, fellowship andobserving.“They’ll set up on that hillside with

every piece of equipment you can imag-ine. They come to do photography andserious work,” said Edwin Faughn, direc-tor of Rainwater.Professional astronomers to speak at

this year’s event include galaxyresearcher Dr. William Keel from theUniversity of Alabama, plus cometresearcher Dr. Donna Pierce and extraso-lar planet researcher Dr. Angelle Tanner,both from Mississippi State University.Registration is $45 per person before

March 4 and $55 afterward. To registeror make reservations for on-site acco-modations, contact French Camp GuestServices at 662-547-9988 or:

Rainwater to host Stargaze, conference

helped the young man rekindle his spiri-tuality.

“I was an atheist during that time. Iwas resolved that there was nothingbeyond whatever we experience here onthis earth,” Faughn said.

Rhea shared his Christian beliefs withFaughn and patiently answered his ques-tions.

“I was really being stirred at thatpoint because I realized I love science,but it seemed like it had only half thepicture,” Faughn said.

Convinced that God was nudginghim, Faughn eventually returned to thechurch. One version of his most popularspace science presentations, “Re=ectionsof the Universe,” includes scriptures cho-sen for their beauty and relevance.

“How tiny we are in the middle of allthis. It’s humbling,” Faughn said.

He hopes FCA students get this mes-sage. Some of them come to the schoolfrom a personal crisis or troubled back-ground. Faughn wants these students,especially, to comprehend the immensityof the universe so they may learn to puttheir problems in perspective.

“We’ve had some incredible experi-ences out here,” he said. “I think it reallyopens their eyes up. For one thing, [theysee] they are not the center of the uni-verse.”

he day began in rare form.Upon stepping outsidejust before daylight, I dis-covered a skunk in mycarport—under which was

my truck, a favorite coat and, withinseconds of said discovery, one of mydogs.

The situation quickly got completelyout of hand. A too-familiar aroma wasimmediately attached to all entitiesinvolved other than me.

Upon my spontaneous retreat, I con-cluded 1) my truck was unfit for travel,2) my dog was unfit for a game of chasethe ball and 3) my coat was unfit forwear. I would have to remainsequestered for a time.

Back inside and safe behind closeddoors, I put on a pot of coffee andwatched a feeder just outside the kitchenwindow. Within minutes the sun wasup and a huge concentration of birdswas there, goldfinch for the most part.They were glorious and this day, a daythat could have been considered glum ifjudged by its genesis, was transformedinto one of beauty.

Out farther in an open area, I saw abluebird checking a new house I hadjust the day before fabricated and erect-

ed. And that brings us to the thrust ofthis column.

My old bluebird house, after 10 yearsof viable service, had succumbed to theelements. Even the post holding it hadtoppled a month or so back. The entireunit had to be replaced. I liked this oldhouse and con-sidered gettinganother like it,but minus thetiny entrancehole, there wasno way to cleanit each year.

With that inmind I lay awakea couple ofnights trying tofigure a systemthat I couldbuild with limit-ed tools and far more limited skill. Iarrived at what I felt would be the per-fect solution.

Let me be quick to say that mydesign is not likely the first of its kind tobe conceived. And there are probablymore workable approaches. But keep inmind I did say limited tools and limitedskill. I had a circular saw and drill and

zero prior experience in building a bird-house. But with some rough-cut cypress,I entered the project with enthusiasm.And a simple project it is.

Follow: First determine the size of thehouse without the floor. Now cut thefloor 5 or so inches longer than thehouse is deep, but narrow enough to fitinside the side walls.

Then cut the side walls so that theyfit flush on the outside of the floor—only shorter—and still reach the desiredheight.

The ends come next and can bevaulted toward the top middle or can bea simple slant front to back. Cut theseso that they fit resting on the floor andsit inside the walls.

The roof, whether vaulted or slanted,must now be cut and should offer ampleoverhang.

Assemble the primary house (box)first. Drill the entrance hole and perch-ing peg hole.

Now place the house onto the floor,being sure the back wall is flush on theoutside with the floor. Also, take care tosand the floor and/or side walls so thatthey slide easily over the floor.

Attach the back wall, which is restingon the floor and not behind it, to thefloor with two small hinges. I used ascrap of piano hinge left over from aprevious project and cut it to lengthwith a hacksaw.

You now have a birdhouse that can belifted from the front and will swing backand out of the way on that back hinge.The floor is exposed and can be attachedto the post with deck screws. When youflip the house back into place, it is acomplete unit.

Be advised, however, that you mustcontrive some type latching system sothat wind doesn’t blow the house open.A nifty brass latch would look good, butI just ran a deck screw though the walland into the floor near the front on eachside. A simple reverse of the drill willback them out to allow access to thehouse for cleaning and maintenance.

I do recommend sanding the outside,particularly the top, to afford a smoothsurface that will better shed water thanwill rough-cut lumber.

That’s it! A birdhouse that can bebuilt with basic tools and a minimum ofcarpentry skills. It could be a pleasantproject in the shop or storage shed orcarport on a cold day or a hot day or aday when you must wait for the essenceof skunk to dissipate.

Two deck screws, at top and left, screwed through theside walls and into the floor toward the front of thehouse hold the house down. They can be removedeasily for cleaning. Hinge the back wall, above, to thefloor of the birdhouse so the entire house will swingback and off the floor.

et me just say thatI’ve never had a prob-lem with winters somild they were usedas proof for globalwarming. This has

not been one of those winters. ‘Course,we’ve had both cold and mild wintersfor as long as I can remember.

I overheard a lady talking to thecashier at the grocery store the otherday, saying all of this stuff comes incycles. Probably true. Scientists say thatat one time or another the entire planethas been com-pletely coveredin ice, pole topole. And atother timesearth has beenso warm thatthere was no iceon it at all.

The onlything I can sayfor sure is, weare between oneor the other ofthose extremes. Now which way we’reheading, can’t tell. And you can’t provea thing one way or the other by theweather at my house this winter.

I do know this. This has not been thewinter to make a bunch of travel planswithout a backup alternative. Forinstance, on the day I was planning totravel to Hot Coffee (near Collins inCovington County), an ice storm hitsouth Mississippi. Up in the middle ofthe state where I live it was pretty muchall snow. The roads were slick enough tokeep the youngest granddaughter out ofschool that day, but clear enough so thatshe and I managed to putt around Bran-don, Pearl and Jackson to get snow shotsfor a TV story. But south of us wasslicked over like Atlanta. So I put off myHot Coffee excursion until the nextwarm spell.

What I wanted to do in Hot Coffeewas talk to Judy and Herbert Harper,who ran Knight’s store there for yearsuntil they retired to their comfortable

homeacrossthe high-way. Andwhat I wantedto talk to themabout was NewtKnight.

Newt is a hard-to-define character who hit hisstride about the time of theCivil War. The legend of the “FreeState of Jones” centers on Newt Knightand his band of deserters, and their eva-sion of the authorities while takingrefuge in the Leaf River swamps in Jonesand Smith counties.

There are a couple of books abouthim. Each of them paints him in a dif-ferent light. Ethel Knight’s “The Echo ofthe Black Horn” stylizes Newt from afamily point of view, vindicating himand disavowing a bunch of the stories.

More objectively, Victoria Bynum’s“The Free State of Jones” fills in thegaps and sticks more closely to the his-torical record. The 1940s book andmovie “Tap Roots” is loosely based onKnight.

The reason I wanted to go talk to

Walt Grayson is the host of “MississippiRoads” on Mississippi Public Broadcastingtelevision, and the author of two “LookingAround Mississippi” books and “Oh! ThatReminds Me: More Mississippi HomegrownStories.” Contact Grayson at:

[email protected]

L

Judy and Herbert is that Judy is a Knight, and husband Herbert has become sort of ascholar on the topic ever since he discov-ered it irritated Judy’s mother to no endwhen he would call Newt Knight “UncleNewt.” (Newt Knight was a distant rela-tive.)

I’ve been interested in the story for awhile but have never taken the time toput the bits and pieces together. Andwouldn’t you know it, the day I decidedto start, I had to put it off because of anice storm. (Maybe that’s an omen toleave the topic alone!)

I’ll try to parcel out what I find overtime, when I get back on it after the

spring thaw. He’s an interesting fellow,and the source of a bunch of Mississippilegends. Some of them may be true!

Safe bets for spring spruce-upsLeave electrical work to the pros

Even the handiest do-it-yourselfers know it’s not safeto repair their own electricity.

Your best bet: Spring for a licensed, qualified electri-cian when your home’s electricity or electric appliancesare on the fritz.

Even if you turn your electricity off at the circuitbreaker box, it’s not necessarily safe to work on yourhome’s plugs and wiring.The Electrical SafetyFoundation Internationalalso recommends:• Study your panel’s cir-cuit breakers or fuses soyou will know which onecontrols each switch,light and outlet.• Suit up in safety gog-gles and gloves beforetouching electrical com-ponents.• Triple-check that you have turned off the right circuitsbefore you start any work. It’s easy to flip the wrongswitch by accident.• Make 100 percent sure that the circuit cannot be acci-dentally turned back on while you are working. Leteveryone in the house know the breaker box is off limitsuntil you say otherwise.• Use a circuit tester to verify that the switch you areworking on is operating properly before you turn every-thing back on.

• Even then, consider leaving dangerous electrical work—even small jobs—to a pro who knows the ins and outs ofhow to stay safe—and keep your home safe—when elec-trical work is needed.

It’s time to open up your summer place

If you’re lucky enough tohave a second home to enjoyon summer weekends near thewater or in the woods, it’s time to get it ready for sum-mer.

On the first warm spring weekend, take a drive to yourplace to air it out, dust off the cobwebs and chase awayany bugs that moved in while you were gone for the win-ter. Also:• If you keep the water shut off all winter, that’s the firstthing to turn back on—even before you turn on the elec-tricity, gas or water heater. Turn on the faucets first—to“bleed” air and sediment out of the system, and then turnon the main water valve. • Once the water is on, check under sinks and toilets forleaks that might have to be repaired.• Turn on your electricity and gas and plug in your appli-ances to learn if they’re still working properly.• Take a walk around the outside of the house andremove broken tree limbs, leaves, dead animals and any-thing else that might have fallen on your outdoor air con-ditioning unit.• While you’re at it, rake leaves, branches and brush away

from your house—both as a safety precaution and alsoso they won’t retain water that could leak into yourweekend home’s foundation.• Change your furnace and air conditioner filters.• Inspect windows for cracks in the glass or rot aroundwood frames. The better shape your windows are in, themore comfortable your home will be during air condi-tioning season. • If you have an attic or crawl space, squeeze yourselfinto it and inspect your insulation. If it has gotten wet orhas pulled away from the ceiling or walls, replace or reat-tach it.

Contract right-of-way (ROW) crews with Looks Great Services, Inc. will be in the following communities during the next several weeks performing ROW maintenance:

Lamar County - Bass Academy, Boggy Hollow Rd, Coaltown, Hwy 11-South Purvis, Mitchell Rd,Pinecrest, Purvis, Purvis-Baxterville Rd, Purvis-Columbia Rd, South Beaver Lake, Talowah Rd, White OakLane, & others within area; Jefferson Davis and Marion Counties - Bassfield, Bethel, Faithway, Gates Rd, New Union,Williamsburg Rd, & others within area;

Crews will be clearing underbrush, trimming back limbs, and cutting trees so that the maximum ROW width within the easement is cleared. This process helps reduce potential power outages and safety hazards caused by limbs or trees coming in contact with our power lines. Crews will complete this work with the least interference to you and maintain a high standard of workmanship. As always, we appreciate your cooperation and support as we work to maintain safe, reliable electric

service at the lowest possible cost. If you have questions concerning ROW maintenance, please call yourlocal PRVEPA office or Wade McKenzie at 601-441-2336.

NOTICEof contract right-of-way clearing

Last March I used this space to tellyou about the powerful tornado thatripped through our service area, caus-ing significant damage in parts ofMarion and Lamar counties. At thetime, I was proud to report that ouremployees had restored service to morethan 7,500 members in about 50hours, working through rainy, cold andmiserable conditions.During the past couple of months,

and especially in January and earlyFebruary, we have been hit withrecord-breaking low temperatures anda series of winter storms that severelyimpacted our area. We experienced icyconditions that kept everyone in theirhomes for the better part of two days.Some other parts of the South sufferedadditional ice and snow, paralyzingmajor cities for days and creating life-threatening conditions for millions ofpeople.Thankfully, there were only a hand-

ful of reported outages along our sys-

tem due to thecold weather. Thatis significantbecause record coldin our regionmeans record levelsof electric use, andour system held upto that increaseddemand. Of course,that is what our

members expect, and we work year-round to ensure that is the case. Our system now encompasses more

than 6,800 miles of lines and 28 substa-tions. We do regular studies to under-stand where consumer demand is chang-ing throughout the system so that wecan design and implement upgrades tohandle any growth. We have also builtin numerous operational redundanciesso that the system can be flexible, espe-cially under such drastic circumstances.Those upgrades served us well over thepast months, when overall demand on

Severe weather tests PRVEPA again the system was 35-40% higher than itwas last year.Another regular practice that plays an

important role in such emergencies isour tree-trimming program. Had we hadmore accumulation of ice or heavy snowduring these storms, there would havebeen much more potential for damage.One of the best ways to protect our linesand prevent outages is to keep trees andlimbs at a safe distance from our rights-of-way. Tree trimming crews work year-round on our system and, while weknow it can be unpopular with somehomeowners, it is the best way to main-tain your service when you need it most.

means seed collected from aparticular fruit will producesimilar tomatoes crop aftercrop.

Second,heirloomtomatoesare typi-callydefinedby age.Depen-ding onwhom youask, an heir-loom tomatomust be at least 25 yearsold. Some say 50 years ormore. Others define them as seedsdating from before 1945. After WorldWar II, hybrid development becamemore prevalent.

I’m of the opinion that age doesn’tmatter when it comes to heirloomtomatoes, as long as the variety is openpollinated.

Third, families pass heirloom vari-eties down through the generations justlike they do antique furniture. Any veg-etable can become an heirloom whenfamilies collect their seeds and passthem on. The Nebraska Wedding toma-to is a prime example. Tomatoes arealso called “love apples,” and seeds were

here’s a mystique aboutheirloom tomatoes thatcauses me to get severalphone calls each spring

from gardeners interested in growingthese fascinating plants.

Let’s set one thing straight right now.There isn’t just one heirloom tomato;there are literally hundreds. These arenot the perfect mass-produced hybridtomatoes found in the seed racks andtransplants at the garden center or inthe bins of the grocery store.

They’re colorful, with a range frombright red, orange and yellow tomahogany brown. They even havestripes. Manyare lumpy andbumpy.

Their bestcharacteristic isthat most peo-ple think heir-loom tomatoestaste the waytomatoes aresupposed totaste.

A frequentquestion is,“What makes a tomato an heirloomtomato?”

First of all, heirloom tomatoes arenonhybrid, open-pollinated plants. That

T

given to young couples as a crop to helpstart their farms.

When speaking to garden clubs, Ioften hear gardeners complain that theytried an heirloom tomato without suc-cess.

Hybrid varieties have been bred toperform in many different growing con-ditions across the country. Heirloomtomatoes are very regional, as evidencedby the seed being passed down throughfamilies. There are literally hundreds ofdescribed varieties. This great varietymeans that not all will grow and pro-duce well in Mississippi gardens, butmany will produce wonderful fruit forthe table.

Over the past six years, I have trialedmore than 50 different heirloom tomatovarieties looking for some that will growwell in my Mississippi garden. Thesepersonal tests are part of the fun for me.

Mississippi’s heat and humidity inJuly and August influence my selections.

Dr. Gary Bachman is MSU horticul-turist at the Coastal Research andExtension Center in Biloxi.

I grow primarily determinate varieties,because they are easy to care for.Heirloom varieties can be vigorousgrowers, and some indeterminate vari-eties can easily grow 6 to 7 feet tall.Determinates range from 3 to 4 feet tall.And once July 4 rolls around, it’s justtoo hot for the plants to reliably set fruitand for me to care for unproductiveplants.

Determinate tomatoes have a reputa-tion for all their tomatoes ripening atonce. This may be true for hybrid vari-eties, but in my experience, determinateheirloom tomatoes produce ripe fruitfor six weeks, from the end of May toaround July 4. This schedule is perfectfor my style of tomato growing.

At this point, I have to make a con-fession: I really don’t like fresh toma-toes. I grow them because my wife likesthem. In effect, I grow the love applesout of love. So there’s no reason for younot to try some heirloom tomatoesstarting this year.

Now is the time to start your trans-plants. Seed selection will be limited inthe seed racks, but take time to lookthrough seed catalogs to find the heir-loom tomatoes you want to grow thisyear. Try several varieties and see whichdo well in your garden.

FEATURED COOKBOOK:


By Nancy Jo MaplesA lock of Frederick Douglass’ hair and photographs

taken during the funeral procession of Ulysses S. Grantare part of a collection that spans 16,000 linear feet inthe Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library at MississippiState University.Those two items are among favorites of the library’s

director, Dr. John Marszalek, a historian and professorwho serves as managing editor of the Grant papersproject. The collection includesGrant’s letters and otherwritings. The library givesinstruction on Grant’s life,the Civil War, Reconstruc-tion and 19th centuryAmerica.Grant was born in 1822

in Ohio and died in 1885 inNew York. He is best knownas a U.S. military general dur-ing the Civil War and as the18th president of the UnitedStates of America.Mississippi State University

opened the library in 2009 afterthe papers were transferred fromSouthern Illinois University. Most of the papers are photocopies of originals held

in other repositories and by individuals around theworld. These photocopies were made over a period of46 years by the previous library director. MSU is

responsible for their care and for making themavailable for research.The collection is open to undergraduate and

graduate students, on-campus and visiting scholars, andto others who request permission from thelibrary staff.Throughout the five years MSU has

hosted the collection, approximately 3,000people have visited the library for viewingand research. Its website has had about100,000 hits. The library can accommo-date all class sizes from school ages K-12to college undergraduate and graduatelevels. MSU is one of two Southeastern

Conference universities with presidentialpapers. The other is University of Ten-nessee, which has the papers of AndrewJackson and Andrew Johnson. TheGrant library is located in the Congres-sional and Political Research Center on

the first floor of the Mitchell Memorial Library, justinside the Hardy Road entrance.The first volume of “The Papers of Ulysses S.

Grant” appeared in 1967 and the last one, Volume 32,was published in 2012. The collection is owned by theU.S. Grant Association.

The associationapproved transfer-ring the papersfrom Illinois toMississippi and

named Marszalek executivedirector and managing editor of the paper project.Marszalek is MSU’s Giles Distinguished Professor ofHistory. At the time of the transfer, the decision wasmade to not disclose the names of other entities thathad lost the competition for the collection.Marszalek said that people all across the nation,

including national media, are intrigued that the Grantpapers are located in the heart of the Confederacy.“We jokingly like to point out that it was fated to

happen,” Marszalek said. “On Aug. 17, 1864, whenGrant was battling Lee in the Virginia campaign, Lin-coln wrote Grant the following: ‘Hold on with a bull-dog grip, and chew & choke, as much as possible.’ Infact, though, it was MSU’s reputation as a leadingresearch institution with an outstanding universitylibrary that was instrumental. And, as President MarkKeenum likes to say, ‘Without Mississippi, no onewould have ever heard of Grant!’”
