It is a tall order to ftll the shoes of the past presidents of the Society, but with your help, I hope that we can continue to make the Southern Kentucky Genealogical Society successful, fun, and educational. The President's Page, which will be a regular feat ure in The Longhunter, is my voice in providing addi tional information about the Society to all members. It is my hope that you enjoy the President's Page and that you will share your thoughts, ideas, suggestions, and comments with me so that I may serve you and the Southern Kentucky Genealogical Society more effectively. Many of you attended the January program presented by Cheryl Denney. The portion of her program on newspaper preservation guidelines sparked an interesting discussion. I felt that the basic guidelines for preservation for newspapers printed on wood pulp would be worth sharing. A newspaper determined to be more that 10 years old should be immersed in distilled water for about 20 minutes. After drying thoroughly, spray the newspaper with acid-free spray. A newspaper less than 10 years old needs to be sprayed only, not immersed. If there is any doubt about the age of the newspaper or the wood pulp that was used to print it, immerse the newspaper in distilled water. Basically, immersing a newspaper in distilled water will not damage it, regardless of the age. Remember to try this process on a practice newspaper first and to use latex free gloves to handle the newspapers. Most newspapers printed up to about 1875 were printed on rag linen, not wood pulp. Ra g linen does not contain acid and does not need to have the acid removed from it. T he followin g are some interesting and informati ve web sites on newspaper preserva tion: http://www.hi storybuffcom/ newspapers/ preserve.html http://www.mn hs.org/about/ publications/techtalk/ T echTalkMarch 1997.pdf http:// www.jimlyons.com/ Preservation.html http://www.henkel.at/oenb/ indexx_e.htm. The best way to verify a source is to go to the original document, but some documents can be conveniently viewed online. Heritage Quest has digital images of the original United States census records ava ilable online for viewing, printing, or downloading in Adobe Acrobat format. T he Kentucky Histori cal Society offers access to this service as a benefit of membership. Along wi th this service, the Kentucky Historical Society offers many other benefits including online access to the Sanborn fire maps of Kentucky; a subscription to two quarterly newsletters; invitations to members-only events, exhi bit openings, and programs; and discounts on a variety of events, acti vi ties, and publications. I am personally pleased with the benefits of my membership and take pride in being a part of the Kentucky Historical Society. For information on joining the Kentucky Historical Society, please visit their web­ site at http://history.ky.gov/. In this issue of The Lo1lghu1Iter, please pay special attention to the new scavenger hunt game. This should be fun , educational, and should help to encourage use of the Kentucky Library loca.ll y. Also, please consider attending SKY GEN 2004. This is a great opportunity to learn from Chuck Knuthsom, a nationally known professional. It should be a day which will motiva te us to try new things and allow li S to share ollr experiences with others who have common interests.

    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE GREENEVILLE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ) ) V. ) NO. 2:12-CR-1 ) RONNIE SHANE CAMPBELL ) REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION Defendant Campbell has filed a motion to suppress [Doc. 30], which is before this Magistrate Judge for a report and recommendation under 28 U.S.C. § 636, and the standing orders of this Court. An evidentiary hearing on the motion was held on May 21, 2012. The vehicle which defendant Campbell was driving was stopped for speeding on Interstate 26 in Washington County, Tennessee at approximately 12:24 p.m., on December 8, 2011, by Trooper William Shelton of the Tennessee Highway Patrol. This was not a pretextual traffic stop, but was based solely upon the fact that Trooper Shelton ascertained by his radar that the defendant’s vehicle was driving in excess of the posted speed. Defendant does not argue otherwise. However, defendant asserts that the traffic stop was unreasonable in scope and thus violative of the 4th Amendment. He argues that the original purpose of the traffic stop was satisfied, and that defendant was unlawfully detained without Trooper Shelton having “obtained additional information amounting to reasonable suspicion to believe that criminal activity [was] afoot.” The Court has reviewed the video recording taken by the camera in Trooper Shelton’s cruiser. The time line of events is accurately summarized, with one minor exception set out below, in the government’s response, doc. 34, as follows: 12:24:56 White Honda Accord passes THP cruiser parked on shoulder of I-26 W.

  • The Geography of Wine in North Carolina: Terroir, Site Selection Efficacy, and Implications for Pierce’S Disease Resistant Grape Varieties in the Southeastern U.S
    NOWLIN, JOHN W., Ph.D. The Geography of Wine in North Carolina: Terroir, Site Selection Efficacy, and Implications for Pierce’s Disease Resistant Grape Varieties in the Southeastern U.S. (2017) Directed by Dr. Rick Bunch 138 pp. North Carolina has a broad range of physical environments that produce wine from a breadth of grape species/varietals. Its wine industry has grown rapidly for over a decade and the nature of its climates, soils, and topography are varied and unique in the wine world, yet North Carolina remains relatively unknown outside of the Southeastern portion of the United States. In this study, North Carolina’s vineyards and their specific site characteristics were considered both on the basis of their terroir and the extent to which they followed extension agency advice on site selection. One characteristic risk of growing grapes in the Southeastern U.S. is a plant illness known as Pierce's Disease, which is deadly to the vines of Vitis vinifera parentage. This research used a novel method to reveal the dividing line between V. vinifera and Pierce’s Disease resistant grape variety suitability zones across the Southeast. The quantification of the physical elements of terroir and test of the effectiveness of vineyard site selection has revealed the character of North Carolina’s wine regions and commercial vineyards. In addition, the modeling of the Southeastern U.S. Pierce's Disease zone provided clarification on where Pierce’s Disease resistant winegrapes might present new wine industry options for vineyards across the Southeastern U.S. KEYWORDS: Wine, North Carolina; Southeastern U.S.; Terroir; GIS; Applied Geography; Viticulture; Site Selection; Site Suitability THE GEOGRAPHY OF WINE IN NORTH CAROLINA: TERROIR, SITE SELECTION EFFICACY, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PIERCE’S DISEASE RESISTANT GRAPE VARIETIES IN THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S.

  • Rough in the Bunch
    Rough in the Bunch: Appalachia's Rayon Girls Fight for the Right to Strike Emma Grace Thompson Senior Division Individual Documentary 1 I first learned about the rayon girls through an Appalachian History class. I chose this topic because it sparked my interest in relaying a narrative that transcends gender barriers and is both empowering and inspiring to anyone who feels like an underdog. My research included reviewing oral history accounts of the Bemberg and Glanzstoff plant employees at the University of North Carolina’s Oral Histories of the South archive. At the McClung Collection Archives, I found articles on the strike from local and statewide newspapers. The Archives of Appalachia at East Tennessee State University and the Tennessee State Library and Archives allowed me to view photographs and video footage of the strike. Through the Library of Congress Digital Archives I found period correct videos of the rayon-making process along with footage of suffrage rallies and labor meetings. At the East Tennessee Historical Society I found primary and secondary sources on the history of women’s rights in Tennessee. I created my project in Final Cut Pro X using primary source photos and footage and a soundtrack of relevant music including a modern track that gave a succinct interpretation of the importance of the way the women dressed for the strike. I was able to create a narrative of modernity that this topic requires. My project relates to the NHD theme by identifying the right of the Elizabethton female textile workers—rayon girls—to strike. This right is juxtaposed with the responsibility of the textile mill owners to provide a safe work environment and to pay a fair wage.
