ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROANOKE, W.Va. Governors from leading
~:nergy producing states
got a chance to vent
Tuesday about congressional inaction on
America's energy future.
At a daylong summit,
officials from Kentucky and
10 other states called
upon Capitol Hill to provide
the detailed road map
needed to guide U.S.
energy policy away from a
dependence on foreign oil.
Instead of honestly
weighing the country's
energy options, ''the
Congress has operated on
Its own prejudices,"
Wyoming Gov. Dave
.,reudenthal told reporters.
At the helm of the
nation's top coal-producing
state, Freudenthal echoed
the summit's key theme:
as long as coal remains
this country's most abundant fossil fuel, it must
play a central role in U.S.
policy.
The meeting's title,
"Advancing Domestic
Resources in an Era of
Carbon Challenges," hints
at coal's status as the
chief culprit in the greenhouse gas debate. Also
Winder fire in Eastern states
is mountaintop removal
mining, where layers of
earth are blasted away to
expose coal seams and
then dumped in the valleys
below.
Cleaner and renewable
sources must be part of
the mix, the summit's
speakers said. But they
also argued such alternatives cannot replace coal
as the fuel behind about
half of the nation's electric-
ity.
"The bottom line is, it
will continue to produce a
a,rge share for many
fears," said Gov. Joe
Manchin of West Virginia,
the nation's second-largest
&ource of coal and the
summit's host.
Montana Gov. Brian
Schweitzer and Gov.-elect
S\eve Beshear of
Kentucky struck similar
gotes at the meeting.
Officials from Illinois,
~diana, Maryland, Ohio,
P-ennsylvania and Utah
also participated.

Lawmakers tour mountaintop removal site

· HAZARD HERALD
HAZARD - Several members of the
Kentucky
House
Appropriations
Committee listened to testimony and were
given a firsthand look at the burying of
headwater streams and mountaintop
removal mining Monday during a tour of
an Eastern Kentucky coalfield hosted by
the Kentuckians for the Commonwealth.
The group gathered at the Wendell H.
Ford airport in Chavies, where they heard
HOLIDAY
from several members of the Kentuckians
for the Commonwealth, a community
action group opposing mountaintop
removal.
Even though coal produces over 90 percent of Kentucky's electricity, State Chair
of the KFTC Doug Doerrfield said, "It is
not necessary to destroy the mountains and
streams to get that coal."
He told the members of the Kentucky
House Appropriations and Revenue
A group was led on
a tour of a mountaintop removal
site on
Montgomery Creek
Monday in Perry
County. The tour
was hosted by a
group with
Kentuckians for

Back-to-work agreement
deepens stril{e divide

McDOWELL
The
Appalachian
Regional
Healthcare nurses strike could
go on for sometime after what
KNA/WVNA calls a "vindictive attempt by ARH to punish
nurses for standing up for
patient care."
A four-page document provided by ARH outlined the hospital's 11 conditions for the
nurses to return to work.
Among those conditions the
Kentucky Nurses Association
and West Virginia Nurses
Association must public ly
acknowledge that the strike
was an economic strike.
"They want us to say it's
(the strike) about money," said
Kim Gayheart, a nurse on strike
at McDowell ARH, "If it was
about money, I would be in
there making some, instead of
standing out here in the cold."
According to KNA and
WVNA, the ARH proposal
makes no assurances that any
of the striking nurses will be
allowed to return to work. ARH
also proposes that those striking nurses ARH feels to have
engaged in "strike misconduct"
during the strike will not be
placed on the "preferential hiring list." Those names will be
submitted to an arbitrator who
parole.
Johnson, 56, who was
indicted in 2005, was initially charged witJ:l an additional assault charge and
two counts of first-degree
kidnapping. As part of the
agreement, those charges
have been dismissed wtth
prejudice.
The body of 27-year-old .
Michael Slone was found
near an abandoned strip
mine in Knott county on
August 4, 2003.
Turner: said that it was a
little out of the ordinary for
Johnson to accept the 22
years
without
parole.

PRESTONSBURG - You
can't run brain power on an
empty stomach, and with that
in mind the members of St.
James Episcopal Church are
offering a free lunch to all local
college students during this
week of final exams.
"We figure finals week is
stressful enough without worrying about what you're going
to eat," said Erica Ash, a member of the St. James congregation that has been largely
responsible for coordinating
the bi-annual event.
According to Kay Hale
Ross, also a member of the St.
James family, the finals week
free lunches were first offered
"about seven or eight years
ago."
"Initially, the lunches were
funded by the Lexington diocese, but now they're funded
by donations from our church,"
Ross said.
Ross also said that the free
lunches "started out as a way of
helping out our students." Now,
both students and faculty and
staff are 'invited to partake of
the soup, sandwich, fruit, and
dessert lunches, offered each
semester during finals week.
"It's nice," said second-year
elementary education major
Olivia Hunter, who along with
friend, Evan Coleman. a senior
elementary education student,
was enjoying lunch at the
church on Tuesday afternoon.
"It helps to not have to be out in
the cold, too," she said.

By all accounts, 13-year-old Megan Meier of Dardenne
Prairie, Mo., was a typical adolescent girl - self-conscious, a bit
awkward, full of dreams about boys and best friends forever and
her yet-to-unfold future. Just like a million others, right up until
Oct. 16, 2006.
That day, Megan hanged herself with a cloth belt in herbed:· room closet. She was, her mother says, driven to despair by a
•: cascade of hurtful messages from a "boy" she liked and a group
~; of supposed friends.
:: The kicker, as everyone knows by now, is that the "boy" was•: n't real. He was a fiction created by neighbors Lori and Curtis
• Drew, parents of another girl whose friendship with Megan
ended months earlier. The supposed friends were schoolmates,
, emboldened by anonymity to send instant messages that said
: things they probably never would have dared speak in person.
The incomprehensible details of Megan's suicide were report, ed last month by the Suburban Journals and the Post-Dispatch.
; Quick as hate speech through cyberspace, her story raced across
~ the country and to every corner of the globe. Megan - yearning
~ in life for the attentions of a cute boy - has become in death the
~ face of an emerging threat called cyber bullying.
~:
Her death hardly was unique. A 13-year-old Vermont boy
~hanged himself four years ago in a similar case. A 15-year-old
•. bE!Iy in Florida did the same in 2005. These cases represent the
•. extreme. But electronic harassment and intimidation are anything
: b~t rare. About one-third of middle school children have experi..: e~ced it, according to research in a recent special issue of the
J~urnal of Adolescent Health. An editorial in the journal calls it
:• "l\n emerging public health problem."
~
••
Bullying has been around forever, of course. It makes life mis~·
.; e~able for many students. Adolescents - their overpowering need
:: f~r acceptance doing battle with strong desires for independence
::and individuality - always have been uniquely vulnerable.
;:
But cyber bullying is something else again. The pervasiveness
:; of technology, including cell phones, e-mail and instant messag~: ing, coupled with the anonymity it bestows, makes electronic
~· harassment less escapable and more effective. Bullies no longer
l~rk only in school hallways and playgrounds; now, they slip
~right into a child's bedroom, wreaking havoc even when school is

Few laws protect against it. Tina and Ron Mei , Megan's parents, are crusading to change that. Since the events surrounding
Megan Meier's daughter's death have become public, Dardenne
Prairie and Florissant, Mo., have passed ordinances banning
Internet harassment. A similar bill was introduced Friday to the
St. Louis Board of Aldermen, and another probably will appear
in the Missouri Legislature. That's an understandable response,
but impractical. Many victims never find out who's behind electronic threats or harassment. Free speech issues make prosecution difficult.
A more promising approach is to focus on school, where many
harassers and victims first come into contact. School districts in
Florida, South Carolina, Utah and Oregon have adopted policies
on cyber bullying. Lawmakers in Washington state recently
required school districts there to develop electronic harassment
policies.
In the end, public outrage about Megan Meier's death may
turn out to be the most effective deterrence. It's started people
talking not just about the apparently unusual cases i'n which
adults harass schoolchildren, but also the far more common problem of cyber bullying of kids by other kids.
Research shows that kids who know that their parents and
peers disapprove of anonymous online harassment are less likely
to engage in it. No single parent acting alone can insulate his
child from cyber bullying. But groups of parents and their children, acting with school districts and educators, can.

True signs of
Christmas
During this holiday season, filled
with the never-ending task of buying
presents and fixing gingerbread cookies, the Floyd County Conservation
District Board of Supervisors ~nd staff
would like to wi h you and your familie-s the !:>est during this season.
We have appreciated the opportunity to serve, meet, and a sist everyone that has worked with us this year
and encourage those who did not get a
chance, to take the time in the upcoming year to call 889-9800 or visit our
office to find out about the many programs we offer.
Thank you for being involved in
our programs and for taking the time
to care about our lands and especiall)
our people. We wish you the best in
the upcoming year.
This Sunday is the beginning of
Advent Season - four weeks of the
preparation for the celebration of the
birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ on
Christmas,
Already there are signs of the
Christmas spirit in Floyd County,
signs beyond purchasing and decorating for the holiday.
We see churches and organiLations
running food drives to prepare gift
baskets for those in need, volunteers
braving the cold to collect money to
buy toys for children who would otherwise be without, seamstresses fashioning quilts to protect the homeless
from the cold, groups planning
Christmas parties to mark the joyful
celebration of Jesus' birth 2007 years
ago, others hosting baby showers for
pregnancy centers.
This rightful generosity and caring
is a recognition of Christ in those
whom He described as the "least" and
Tony Grubb, Office Manager
Floyd County Consen,ation
·
l>istrict
of whom He said, "I tell you the trutl
whatever you did for the least of these
you did for Me". (Matt 26:40)
Floyd County is to be commended
for celebrating the Christmas season
beyond the media-driven materialistic
consumer-oriented culture. But the
real work of Christmas begins when
the angels have stopped singing, when
the shepherds have gone back to their
fields, when the Magi return' to the
East. What will we as individuals and
as a community do in 2008 to heal the
CAUSES of abortion, poverty, homelessness, substance abuse, etc.?
This will be the true reflection of
Floyd County's '"Christmas Spirit."

�WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER
THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
Mining
• Continued from p1
Committee in attendance,
"Mountaintop removal and
valley fills are not the only
way to mine. Mountaintop
removal is a choice that you as
state lawmakers make."
The grassroots citizens
organization says that it also
supports the Stream Saver
Bill, which Rep. Don Pasley,
of the 73rd House District,
announced yesterday that he
would sponsor again in 2008.
KFTC says that the Stream
Saver Bill would protect the
waterways by prohibiting the
dumping of mine wastes into
any intermittent, perennial or
ephemeral stream or other
water of the Commonwealth.
Instead they say that as part of
the reclamation process, the
• mine wastes would be put
back on the mine site rather
than being dumped over the
side of the hill into the streams
and valleys below.
"The language in the bill
prohibits fills and streams.
These ephemeral streams
aren't streams with water, fish
and minnows. The streams
being impacted are dry ditches
that only have water in them
when it rains," president of the
Kentucky Coal Association,
Bill Caylor said. "You can't
surface mine or underground
mine without leftover material. Once we're finished, we
reconstruct the stream so water
still flows from point A to
point B. They allege that the
stream is buried forever. That
is not true, water still flows."
If interpreted literally, the
legislation would prohibit both
surface and underground mining, Caylor said.
"It's
[mountaintop
removal] everything that is
wrong with modern society,"
Kentucky author Silas House
said. "Kentuckians are not sacJ rificial lambs any more. We
have elected officials who will
stand up and do the right
thing."
House, who says that his
family was able to rise out of
poverty due to coal mining,
has been actively involved in
the fight against mountaintop
removal for three years.
He said that he was raised
"'
across the road from a sprawling strip mine and put up with
the dust, blasting and overloaded coal trucks for three
years.
"When the company pulled
out they scattered some grass
seed that never took and planted a few scrub pines and left.
Twenty years later the land is
still struggling. Some of it is
still dead," he said.
Caylor admitted that the
coal industry is not perfect, but
said that he didn't know of any
industry that was.
"When mining it could be
considered a nuisance because
of the noise and dust. Maybe
we need to do more in terms of
public relations and community activities at times," he said.
The group also traveled to
Montgomery Creek in Vicco
where they saw a valley fill
and heard John Roark, a resident from the area, tell about
some of his experiences and
how he says he has been
affected by mountaintop
removal.
"They are taking advantage
of Eastern
Kentuckians.
Everywhere they go they do
damage. I have damage on my
home," he said. "We have
laws, but no enforcement."
Law enforcement was also
a common theme among those
who gave their testimonies of
how they had been affected by
strip mining and mountaintop
removal during the final stop
on the tour at the Kodak
Church of God. Many told stories of how they had damage
to their homes and had lost
their water due to blasting
from the mines. There were
also stories about poisoned
water and how young children
were scared by the loud blasting or couldn't go outside to
play because of the danger of
being hit by a fly rock from
one of the blasts.
"The problem is we don't
have enforcement of the laws.
We can't get help .from the
state. When they come out
they are just there to prove that
it's not mine related,"
Hueysville resident Ricky
Handshoe said.
Charles
Representative
Siler from the 82nd House
District said that he had mixed
feelings about the subject of
mountaintop removal and the
only way to solve the problem
is with a compromise.
"A compromise has to be
sought in order for Kentucky
to move forward in the area of
energy. We need to preserve
those mountains that don't
need to be bothered. We need
to restore those mountains that
can be restored properly and
we have to contend with the
fact that some mountains are
going to have to come down,"
he said. "You couldn't have
this airport here if somebody
hadn't taken the top off of this
ridge. There are practical
points of view on both sides of
this issue."
Caylor, who was discouraged by the fact that the other
side's
viewpoint
wasn't
afforded during Monday's
tour, thinks that due to the flat
land being provided today,
Hazard is going to be the economic hub of Appalachia within the next 200 years.
"We're already starting to
see economic diversity in the
Hazard area because we're
able to use the level land. The
land is much more valuable
after it is reclaimed than prior
to mining," Caylor said.
' He went on to say, "To shut
down an entire industry on
emotional allegations is reprehensible. To paint our industry
with such a wide brush is not
fair. The coal industry is the
back bone of the economy
around the Hazard area and
we're starting to see the pay
back from that."

RH's four-page outline.
The ARH proposal states
tat "time spent on strike or on
tet preferential recall list will
Jt be considered as time
orked for any purpose under
te terms of the parties' collec-
tive bargaining agreement."
This clause makes it impossible
for nurses to receive unemployment benefits while on the preferential list.
"This proposal is an outrageous insult to every nurse on
the picket line fighting for safe
patient care," said KNA lead
negotiator Pat Tanner.
Jim Smith, an attorney for
ARH has said that the "back to
work agreement" is not part of
the comprehensive contract
proposal ARH ha~ asked the
union to allow the ARH to vote
on, and is not a precondition to
the ratification of the proposed
contract. Smith said the contract
proposal addresses the specific
needs of the nurses, which the
union has identified to ARH as
the reasons for the strike.
'This is the nurses' contract.
The national unions have made
every effort to exert their influence over what should be a local
issue. We believe the nurses out
on the picket line should be the
ones to say if the contract is satisfactory to them," said Smith.
Lynn Hall, a nurse on strike
at Mcdowell ARH, said the
back-to-work
agreement
secures the transition for the
nurses to go back to work, and
she feels there is "no chance" or
the nurses accepting ARH's proposal until an acceptable backto-work agreement can be
reached.
The nurses were set tO VOt€

by ARH on Tu\!sday. The
results of that vote were not

also mounted to the front of a
truck.
The truck is what makes the
difference. Without a proper

and checked every single time
it leaves the garage, you may

"We use an Operator's Check
Sheet so we don't miss anything. It's easy to take things
for granted when you do this

Beshear looks for ways to balance b dget
The Associated Press
FRANKFORT- Besides preparing a two-year spending plan ror lawmakers to consider beginning in
nuary. Gov.-elect Steve Beshear is
trying to find a way to. balance thi'>
year's budget.
Beshear told The (Louisville)
Courier-Journal in a story published
Tuesday that he is "very concerned
about the financial outlook" for state
government.
In the weeks after the Nov. 6 election in which Beshear, a
Democrat. defeated Republican Gov.
Ernie Fletcher- state agencies have
made $166 million in requests for
additional state money this year.
The largest part was a request for
$112 million for Medicaid, which
provides health insurance for the
poor and disabled. He said it is too
early to say if he would order spend-
ing cuts in the current fiscal year,
which ends June 30, m impose a hiring free1.e.
Beshear told the newspaper that he
doesn't envision any layoffs.
ate Rep. Harry Moberly, DRichmond, chairman of the House
budget committee, said the state has a
"rainy day" fund that could cover the
imbalance. The fund has $231.5 mi I
lion in it. But Moberly said Beshear
might want to preserve much of that
money and impose cuts.
The supplemental budget rcque~t~
for this year follow a reduced forecast
of state revenues. Unde~;lying all that
is the fact that the current budget
spends more than $400 million in
one-time surplus funds- money not
available next year.
Despite the outlook, Beshear said
he has no plan to reverse his campaign promise to oppose an increase
in the cigarette tax.
"I don't anticipate proposing aAy ,
kinds of tax increases at this point.'' ,
he said.
He also ilidn't criticize Fletcher
for not drawing attention to the budget outlook before the election.
"I don't think it's beneficial to try '
to assess blame for our situation,'' he
said. "I'm ju~t trying to make sure I,
understand what our situation is ... •
and then figure out how to address
it."

wondering how you' 11 get it all

modern holiday rush. and Jet

Operations Branch Manager.
"We work 16-hour shifts during a major weather event. It
messes up your internal clock.
You have to be able to stay
awake and alert for 16 hours,
go home and sleep for 8, and
then get back on the road again
for another 16. And it doesn't
matter if it's Sunday and you
have to miss church - nobody
else is going to get there if you
don't get their road plowed- or
if it's Christmas Eve and you
forgot to get the batteries for
whatever toy the grandk1ds
want. Somebody else has to go
get the batteries after you've
been gone long enough to get
the road cleared so it's safe for
them to drive it. That's just the
way it is. And even though
most people don't know who
we are or what we give up, like
time with our families, to
make the roads safe, it's a satisfying job to know that what
you do actually makes a difference in people's lives. In fact,
we know there would be more
lives lost on our .roads if we
didn't do what we do."

new opportunity for our fans to enjoy
Kentucky football in the post-season.
"The city and staff treated us in first-class
fashion and we're privileged to be their guests.
As an institution, we'll do all we can to put on
a good show. I also congratulate Coach Rich
Brooks, our seniors, and all of the Wildcats as
we try for our first back-to-back bowl wins in
over half a century."
This marks only ,the fourth time in
Kentucky history that the Wildcats have
played in bowl games in consecutive years,
joining
the
1949.-50-51
seasons
(Orange/Sugar/Cotton respectively), 1983-84
(Hall of Fame Bowl both years), and 1998-99
(Outback/Music City).
Last season, Kentucky played in the
Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl and defeated
Clemson, 28-20, before the largest crowd
(68,024) in bowl history. Kentucky has backto-back bowl wins only one time in school history, winning the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 1951,
and the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 1, 1952.
Kentucky has a 7-5 record this season,
UK's first back-to-back seven-win campaigns
in 30 years. The Wildcats also notched a pair
of wins over top-10 teams, then-No. 9
Louisville and then-No. 1 LSU, for the first
time in 30 years. The victory over the Tigers
was UK's first triumph over a top-ranked
opponent in 43 years.
This will be the 12th post-season appearance in school history, with the Wildcats carrying a 6-5 record in bowl games. Kentucky is
1-1 in the Music City Bowl, losing to Syracuse
in '99 and defeating Clemson last year.
UK leads the series vs_ Florida State, 3-1-1,
as the teams piayed in 1960-61-62-64-65 _The
Wildcats and Seminoles have never tangled in
a bowl clash. UK has a 2- 1 slate in bowl games
vs. Atlantic Coast Conference teams, winning
the 1976 Peach Bowl, 21-0, over North
Carolina; losing the 1993 Peach Bowl to
Clemson, 14-13; and winning last year vs.
Clemson.
Like Kentucky, Florida State also has a 7-5
record this season, including a 4-4 mark in the
Atlantic Coast Conference. Another similarity
with the Wildcats is that FSU has a win over a
highly ranked opponent this season, as the
Seminoles defeated then-No. 2 and undefeated
Boston College, 27-17, on the road on Oct. 25 .
Kentucky fans already have indicated their
eagerness to return to Nashville for this year's
event_ A pre-sale of Music City Bowl tickets to
UK season-ticket holders has generated
approximately 27,000 requests.

ROBINSON CREEK - On Saturday, 'the Betsy Layne
Bobcats traveled to Shelby Valley to participate in the Wildcat
Shootout. The Bobcats took on the Buckhorn Wildcats in the
final game of the evening. Betsy Layne, under the guidance of
first-year head coach Brian Hall, pulled out a 64-63 victory.
Betsy Layne opened the game on fire, hitting from all over
the court. The Bobcats quickly established a comfortable lead, or
so they thought, as Buckhorn came storming back. At the end of
the first period, Betsy Layne held a 20-15 advantage.
The Wildcats were able to tum the tables in the second quarter, and shaved several points off the lead. The Bobcats refused
to relinquish the lead, and limped into the locker room still clinging to a 30-28 lead.
The Bobcats returned to their first period form in the third
quarter, running the margin back up. However, a late rally by the
Wildcats cut the advantage to just five (49-44) as the game
entered its final eight minutes.
The Buckhorn momentum carried over to the fourth quarter
as the Wildcats eventually grabbed the lead late in the game.
Betsy Layne battled back and got the ball back with a handful of
ticks left on the clock. Bobcat senior guard Brennan Case was
able to get off a shot, and when the ball fell through the rim, the
buzzer sounded giving the Bobcats the come-from-behind win.
Samuel Keathley paced Betsy Layne with 16 points. Case
added 15 points as the Bobcats prevailed. Nathan Martin aided
the Betsy Layne effort with 10 points.

~ Cassity,
Stubbs let go as Cardinals begin offseason facelift
by WILL GRAVES
ASSOCIATED PRESS ·
LOUISVILLE
Louisville
coach Steve Kragthorpe dido' t
waste any time revamping the
coaching staff following a nightmarish first season at the helm of
one of the nation's most disappointing programs.
Kragthorpe released defensive
coordinator Mike Cassity on
Sunday, and offensive coordinator
Charlie Stubbs resigned days after
the Cardinals stumbled to a 6-6 finish.
Jeff Brohm, a former Louisville
star whose brother Brian just finished his career with the Cardinals,
was promoted to offensive coordinator. Jeff Brohm served as assistant
head coach, quarterbacks coach and
passing game coordinator this season.
"I think Jeff and I are on the same
wavelength and I also want to keep
some continuity," Kragthorpc said.
"I thought we did some very good
things offensively (but) certainly we
fell short in some situations."
Cassity was released after spending four seasons with the Cardinals,
three of them as defensive coordinator. Louisville struggled stopping
opponents all year, finishing 84th in
the country in total defense and 93rd
in scoring defense, allowing 416.50
yards and 31.4 points per game.
"I just dido' t feel like we were
productive on defense, or as productive as we should have been or
needed to be," Kragthorpe said.
Though Louisville finished
eighth in the country in total
offense, averaging 488 yards per
game, the Cardinals couldn't seem
to generate a consistent running
game and had trouble protecting
Brian Brohm.
"The biggest change is that Jeff
will call the plays on game day,"
Kragthorpe said. "I thought we did a
good job as an offensive staff of
developing game plans together,
then Charlie took the lead on game
day. Now Jeff takes the lead."
Louisville began the season
ranked in the Top 10 after winning
the Big East and the Orange Bowl
last year under former coach Bobby
Petrino, but plummeted after consecutive losses to Kentucky and
Syracuse.
Louisville's problems weren't
limited to the field. Several players
ran into trouble off the field, most
notably linebacker Willie Williams,
who was kicked off the team in
September after being arrested on
drug charges. Williams ended up
pleading guilty to possession of
marijuana.
"We have had some challenges,"
Kragthorpe said. "From an accountability standpoint, I t.h ink the guys
are starting to understand that the
way I operate is if you follow the
rules and do the things you're supposed to do and you're a good person then you're going to get a
chance to play."
· The Cardinals never factored in
the Big East race, and needed an 18point rally in the season finale
against Rutgers on Thursday to
avoid their first losing season since
1997.

Gillispie suggested that
Hansbrough wasn't the innocent victim on all those fouls.
"l think sometimes the
offensive player may initiate
more contact than the casual
fan may think," Gillispie said.
Patrick
Patterson,
Kentucky's blue-chip freshman
power forward, held his own
against North Carolina's tough
frontcourt but got little help
from his teammates. Top shotblocker Perry Stevenson picked
up his fourth foul with 8 minutes left in the ftrst half, and
fouled out early in the second.
"Coach wanted a nasty
game instead of a pretty game,"
Patterson said.
Gillispie said he was
pleased with the effort. He surprisingly
even
labeled
Stevenson's performance the
best of the year, despite scoring
only two points and playing
just 8 minutes.
Hansbrough said Patterson
did provide a challenge.
"He's a solid big man,"
Hansbrough said. "He's very
physical and he can get you
into· weird positions because
they run so many things to
him."
Up 44-39 early in the second half, the Tar Heels went on
a 13-0 run to put the game out
of reach. Bobby Frasor finished
the streak with two 3-pointers,
the last one silencing the Rupp
Arena crowd as he pumped his
fist.
"They're going to play 40
minutes," Kentucky guard
Michael Porter said of North
Carolina. "If we don't play for
10 seconds, 20 seconds, one
minute, whatever it is, they're
going to keep at us."
Patterson
ended
the
Kentucky drought by drawing a
foul and hitting one of two free
throws,
but
that
was
Kentucky's ftrst trip to the line.
By then, North Carolina had
taken 14 free throws, making
13.
Kentucky's defense helped
the Wildcats play with North
Carolina early, but every time
the Wildcats made a big basket,
Green, a junior swingman,
seemed to have an answer.
He scored North Carolina's
last 10 points of the ftrst half,
eight of them in a span of just
over a minute, using 3-pointers
to answer a 3 by Joe Crawfor4.,
and a dunk by A.J. Stewru+,""
then a layup to answer
Crawford's layup.
It was Green's sixth straight
game scoring in double digits,
all as a reserve. His previous
career high was 17 points on
Nov.
19, 2005, against
Gardner-Webb.
"I didn't make everything I
took, but at one point I was in a
rhythm, took some open shots
and made some big plays for
my team," Green said.
On Friday, Williams doubted that Ty Lawson, the sopho•
more point guard who missed.,
the Ohio State game with a
sprained ankle, would be available against the Wildcats. He
did play, providing his usual
spark, including a steal and
fastbreak layup that generated
energy for the Tar Heels midway through their second balf
run.
While Lawson started,
Kentucky's regular point guard,
Ramel Bradley, was not in the
lipeup for the tipoff. Bradley
entered less than 2 minutes in,
but had only two assists. He did
score 19 points, as di
Patterson. Crawford led the
team with 21.
The Tar Heels led 37-32 at
halftime. Patterson scored the
ftrst bucket of the second half
to cut the deficit to three points,
but the Wildcats would get no
closer.
Kentucky leads all Division
I programs with 1,952 wins,
while North Carolina is second
at 1,921. The teams have
played 30 times, w~th North
Carolina winning 20 of them.
LEXINGTON Every
time Tyler Hansbrough caught
the ball in the post, Kentucky's
players swarmed around him,
swatting at the ball.
The North Carolina big man
did not retaliate to the bruising.
He responded at the free throw
line.
Hansbrough made 10 of 12
free throws as the top-ranked
Tar Heels capitalized on
Kentucky's 25 fouls and beat
the Wildcats 86-77 on

win in the annual matchup

OLD RIVALS REUNITE: Ward, Steelers top Bengals 24-10
by ALAN ROBINSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH
The
Pittsburgh Steelers' offense and
defense held up and, how's this
for a change, so did their swampland of a playing fteld. The
Cincinnati Bengals couldn't stand
up, and that likely means another
uiet January for a tean1 that
almost
never
plays
past
December.
Hines Ward caught two touchdown
passes
from
Ben
Rocthlisberger to break the
Stcclet'S' record for career scoring
catches, and Pittsburgh ended a
seven-game winning streak by
road teams in their AFC North
rivalry with the Bengals by winning 24-10 Sunday night.
Getting their offense back after
being held to one touchdown in
two games by the losing-record
, Jet<; and winless Dolphins, the
ilsteelers (9-3) shook off an early
7-0 deficit to open a two-game
division lead over the Cl~veland
Browns (7-5). And they all but
eliminated the Bengals (4-8) for a
third successive season.
''Hey, that's our job," Steelers
linebacker Larry Foote said.
Two seasons ago, the Steelers
won a wild-card playoff game in
Cincinnati and, last sea~on , kept
the Bengals out of the postseason
by winning there on the fmal day
of the regular season. Now, the
Bengals cm1't win the division, or
finish any better than 8-8 dming a
6th non-winning sea~on in their
ast 17 - and even a four-game
winning streak probably won't
get them into the playoffs a-; a
wild card.
"It's a loss that doesn't sit well
with us," coach Marvin Lewis
said. "We just didn't get things
done. We had some chances. We
didn't make some third downs ....
We missed some throws, and that
ended up being the difference."
The home-field win was the
first in the series since the Steelers
beat the Bengals in Pittsburgh 2817 in 2004. Cincinnati couldn't
"become the first team to win in
Pittsburgh for three consecutive
seasons since Heinz Field opened
in 200 l. The road team had won
nine of the last 10 in the series.
Roethlisbcrger, who also
scrambled 6 yards for a touchdown, ended a 66-yard drive
immediately before halftime with
1=1 2.-ym'd TD flip to Ward that
made it 17-7. Rocthlisberger also
hit Ward on an 8-yard scoring
pass late in the third quarter that
expanded the lead to 14 points
and gave Ward 64 career TD
catches, one more than Hall of
Farner John Stallworth.
"It's something I never expected, to up there with a great player
like him," Ward said.
Heinz Field was an offensestopping marshland Monday after
more than an inch of ni.in fell atop
a layer of sod installed only hours
before. But the field dried up with
some good weather last week and,
despite more rain Sunday night,
seemed to hold up well. An NFL
operations official stayed in town
all week to monitor the field.
'·]t wa-sn't a mire like it was
Monday night, or a rice paddy
field," Stcclers left tackle Max
Starks smd. "It was a lot more
substantial and stable, a little bit
better footing. "
The Bengals couldn' t blmne
the field for this as they managed
only a field goal the rest of the
way after Rudi Johnson scored on
a l-yard run on their opening
drive, even though they had three
possessions that began inside the
Steelers' 30-yard line.
"The defense gave us plenty of
opportunities out there," guard
Bobbie Williams said. ''lt's just
that we didn't capitalize. We had
ample opportunity but didn't execute."
The min appeared to cause
both Roethli<>berger and the
Bengals' Carson Palmer to begin
sailing thro~s over the heads of
receivers. One such pa<>s tipped
off Ward's fingers directly to
Madieu Williams for an interception midway through the first
quarter that gave Cincinnati a
chance to build on its 7-0 lead.
But the Bengals couldn't sustain any drives the rest of the halt
with Shayne Graham missing a
43-yard tield goal that would have
made it J0-0.
'The first drive was great. We
executed and played well, and we
really never got anything going
after that," Palmer said. '"We kept
getting good field position ... and
we couldn't do anything with it."
After that successful opening
drive, Palmer was only 11-of-37
to finish 17-of-44 for 183 yards.
Roethlisberger was 21-of-32 for
184 yards and two interceptions.
"He (Palmer) was getting frustrated, we gave him a 1otof differ-
ent looks," defensive end Aaron
Smith said. "You give him an
opportunity, he'll pick you apart.
You could sec Chad (Johnson)
and T.J. (Houshmandzadeh) get
ling frustrated out there."
Johnson, who has only one
career l 00-yard game against
Pittsburgh, had six catches for 86
yards but didn't do much damage.
Ho\lshmandzadeh, who wa-s leading the league with 83 catches,
ended with five catches for 42
yards.
The Steelers, held without a
touchdown for seven quarters dating to the second quarter of their
J9-16 overtime loss to the Jets on
Nov. 18, responded by putting
together TD drives of 66 and 67
yards in the first half. They also
turned Glenn Holt's fumble on a
kickoff retum into Jeff Reed's 21yard field goal.
Rocthlisbergcr was 8-of-12 for
all66 yards on the 12-play drive
that ended with his 2-yard pass to
Ward and wa~n't sacked once
after being dropped 16 times in
his previous three games.
Notes: The Steelers are 5-0 in
the division with one game to
play, Dec. 30 at Baltimore, and 70 at home. ... Steelers coach Mike
Tomlin won a challenge for the
first time this season when Willie
Parker's fumble on the second
play of the third quarter that was
apparently returned for a touchdown, was overturned on review.
... Parker did lose two fumbles
later in the half, one that was
un~uccessfully challenged by
Tomlin, but ran 28 times for 87
yards.... Ward's 13 TDS against
Cincinnati are the most against
any opponent.
Notebook: Ward goes in the
Steelers' record book - again:
Hines Ward was a third-round
draft pick after not being a fulltime wide receiver at Georgia. ,
Ten seasons later, he is the
Pittsburgh Steelers' career leader
in receptions and touchdown
catches, passing a pair of Hall of
Farnet'S while doing so.
The touchdowns mark fell in
the rain and mud at Heinz Field
during the Steelers' 24-10 win
over the Cincinnati Bengals
Sunday night. Ward's two scoring
catches gave him 64 for his career,
one more than John Stallworth.
Ward broke that record on a
night he caught a season-high 11
passes for 90 yards. Thirteen of
lus ~ career touchdown recep-
tions are against the Bengals,
including four this season.
Many of his catches Sunday
were over the middle and with
defenders ncar hin1 or about to hit
him.
"He is a tough guy. He is a
football player first and a receiver
second," coach Mike Tomlin said.
"He makes plays when he doesn 't
have the ball in his hands; he
makes plays when he does have
the ball in his hands. He is a legitimate tough guy."
Ward already held the Steelers
records for career receptions,
most receptions in a season (he
has four of the lop five seasons)
and most consecutive games with
at least one catch ( 143). He is 112
yards shy of breaking Stallworth's
career yardage mark.
"It's just hard work," Ward
said. "For most people, I wasn't
even supposed to make it in the
pros. When I got here, nobody
expected anything from me.
There was an article written that
said, 'Jack of all trades, rria~ter of
none.' It's just me working my tail
off apd learning from the guys."
Five of Ward's catches resulted in third-down conversions.
"I told Hine& we wanted to get
(the record) at 'home," quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. "It
means more.... I feel privileged to
be the guy to get him the ball
when he does that. I'm privileged
to play with such a great wide
receiver, person, athlete, football
player, everything."
QUICK START, THEN A
STALL: Carson Palmer and the
Bengals' offense had to be feeling
pretty good after driving 75 yards
in 12 plays for a 1-yard Rudi
Johnson touchdown run that
made it 7-0 after their opening
drive.
The rest of the game,
Cincinnati never sustained a drive
longer than 30 yards.
"We feel terrible about it
because the defense kept putting
us in good positions and we
couldn't take advantage of it,"
Palmer said.
Palmer was 11-for-37 for 126
yards after that flrst drive.
Johnson was held to 28 yards on
11 canies the remainder of the
game. T.J. Houshmandzadeh
caught only two passes after making three catches on that first
drive,
'We just didn't get things
done," Cincinnati coach Marvin
Lewis said. "We had some
chances. We didn't make some
third downs. We had a penalty
that took us out of the one, we had
some balls that were thrown a little high. We just didn't get some
conversions made."
Tomlin said the Steelers didn't
make any adjustments after that
opening drive.
'They executed early on and
sometimes that's what happens
when people have scripts and they
are ready to go," Tomlin said.
'They have great players. They
have a great scheme. They did a
nice job, but defensively, our guys
did not blink."

It's all about
children
With Christmas less than three
weeks away, I'm reminded that practically everybody I know agrees that this
is indeed the season for children. And,
I might add,
that's the way
it ought to be.
Of course, all
this leads to
everybody
spending a bit
too much for
toys and stuff,
but hey, it's
Christmas,
right?
But what
about the rest
Clyde Pack
of the year?
As adults, just
how do we rate in the category of really understanding the tiny folk that
make our Christmases so much fun?
- t What got me to thinking about this,
in the first place, was a paper that one
of my colleagues left in my mailbox at
work. It was signed by "Author
Unknown," and that's really too bad,
because whomever came up with these
thought-provoking truisms should-at
least in my opinion-get ~orne credit.
The paper consists of a list of a
dozen or so statements about terminology we adults use when comparing our
a'Ctions to those of kids' ... when we're
both doing exactly the same things.
For example, one item states, "If an
adult writes in a book, we call it doodling. If a child writes in a book, we
call it destraying preperty." Or, how
about this one. "If an adult tells his side
of the story, we call it clarification. If a
chld tells his side of a story, we call it
tiillc.ing back."
, See what I mean? isn't that how it
goes?
I'm afraid that these things really do
reflect how too many adults perceive
children? Does this mean we're advocating some sort of double standard?
This list goes on.
"If an adult sticks to something, we

"My name is Chris. [ think a· computer will
help me with my school work. And I can look up
things on it to get more information to better
explain them to me ...My grade point average isn't
very good and I think a computer can help me
bring it up." So writes a young, local student in a
heartfelt letter addressed to the directors of the
Auxier Lifetime Learning Center explaining his
request to be chosen to receive a free computer
through the center's giveaway program.
"We've given away a little over 6,000 computers since 2000," said Charlie Schaffer, who, along
with wife, Sue, directs the many programs and
daily activities at the center. "We've estimated
that those 6,000 computers have had the potential
to affect the lives of as many as 20,000 people
when you count the number of family members in
the homes the computers have gone to."
Schaffer said that soon after he and his wife
came to Auxier to begin working at the community learning center that he began to take note of the
many families who not only did not own a com
puter. but lacked understanding of the operation
of one, as well. As a result, he came up with the
idea to take in and rebuild damaged computers,
install new software and give them away as an
incentive to get local residents to sign up for
beginning computer classes at the center. Those
completing the courses would be given one of the
refurbished computers to take home.
"We arc living in the information age,"
Schaffer said. "Computers have become a necessity and it's important. especially, that our young
people have access to them."
With the assistance of local school family
resource centers, Schaffer has been able to target
students that do not already have computers in
their home <md whose families meet · the guidelines for receipt of a free computer from the
Auxier center. Most recently, several students
penned letters of request that school administrators forwarded to Schaffer and his staff. "The letters were, for the most part. well written and very
heartfelt." Schaffer said. "Some really touch your
heart in a special way."

'Over the years, it was interesting how many mentioned the
commercialization
of
Christmas and how it had taken
on an entirely different reason
for the season if you will.
The economy and lack
thereof has been blasted over
the years for all time low
spending during the shopping
season. There are projections
on national news stations and
articles galore on how folks just
aren't spending like they did in
years past or even last year to
be exact.
Ah, ya think?
When Christ is trying to be
taken out of Christmas and He
is what Christmas is all about
and WE as His creations are
refusing to acknowledge Him,
how then do you suppose any
of us is suppose to prosper?
Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ fust and
foremost. He came so that we
may have life and have it more
abundantly. He died on the
cross for our sins, and rose on
the 3rd day and when we as a
nation are more concerned
about how we address one
another during this very special
time of year and remove Him
from it, then it only makes
sense to me we will suffer the
consequences greatly.
Blessed is the man that
walks not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor stand in the way
of sinners, nor sit in the seat of
the scornful. 2 But his delight
is in the law of the LORD; and
in his law shall he meditate day
and night. 3 And he shall be
like a tree planted by the rivers
of water, that brings forth his
fruit in his season; his leaf also
shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper. 4 The
ungodly are not so: but are like
the chaff which the wind drives
away. 5 Therefore the ungodly
shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation
of the righteous. 6 For the
LORD knows the way of the
righteous: but the way of the
ungodly shall perish. (Psalm 1:
1-6)

Keep bird feeders full in the
winter since food availability is
very limited for non-migratory
birds.
Fill large pinecones with
peanut butter and roll them in
- sunflower seeds. Attach a string
to the top and hang from trees
for birds.
Invest in a heated birdbath
and keep it filled all winter
long. Birds need the water at
this time of year when most natural sources may be frozen.
Put decorative snowflakes
4" apart on any windows where
birds might hit, or have hit in
the past.
Put a cover over any window
wells around your house to prevent animals from becoming
stuck. Animals, such as skunks,
who have poor climbing abilities commonly fall jnto window
wells.
Use only environmentallyfriendly sidewalk salt for melting ice such as Safe Paws Ice
Melter. Regular sidewalk salts
pollute the environment and can
irritate cats' and dogs' paws.
Get to know your backyard
wild neighbors by going on an
adventure around your own
yard in the snow. Try to identify
different species by looking at
tracks and other signs they
leave behind, such as partial
remains of food like cracked
nuts or twigs. Buy a good
wildlife tracking guide - or give
one as a gift - to learn more and
to better appreciate these animals.
The HSUS Wild Neighbors
Program promotes non-lethal
means for resolving conflicts
between people and wildlife
and cultivates understanding
and appreciation for wild animals commonly found in cities

PIKEVILLE - Knott
County Judge-Executive
Randall Clinton Thompson
and three other county officials have been indicted in
U.S. District Court, charged
with misappropriating public funds to influence an
election for the judge in
2006.
The indictment returned
by a federal grand jury in
London,
alleges
that
Thompson, Deputy JudgeExecutives John Mac
Combs and Phillip G.
Champion and Magistrate
Ronnie Adams conspired to
use county-owned gravel,
asphalt and building material to buy votes.
According to the indictment, thousands of dollars
worth of these materials
were distributed to private
citizens in an effort to influence the election. Federal
law makes it unlawful to
misappropriate property
worth more than $5,000
from a state agency receiving more than $10,000
worth of federal funds in a
12-month period.

working collaborativcly with sec-
ondary school districts, KCTCS will
contribute to the level of preparedness
for high school graduates by increasing the percentage of high school dual
credit/dual enrollmenL sludenLs from 9
percent in 2006-07 to 15 percent by·
2020, with a greater empha'>is on gen,
cral education courses.
Other initiatives addressed at the
meeting included an expansion of
workforce education, increasing the
number of transfers from KCTCS
schools to Kentucky's four-year colleges, and improved remediation services. KCTCS also plans to assume
the primary role in providing adult
educaLion and literacy programs and
services.
'We have great relationships with
our public school partners, four year

Barack Obama is an overachiever. At
age 46, he has already written tv-.-o
memoirs when most people in public

So far, what Obama seems set to

how his campaign went nowhere
despite all the media hoopla. crowds

Like Jacob grappling with the

the entire campaign and has come up

commentary on whether the tactics of
his own caip.paign - down to specific press releases - live up to his

YOU G01Y002 WISH\
Guest view--
What do Americans want in their next president? It
.seems there is no single response. The answer depends
entirely on which Americans we're talking about and
which political party they belong to.
A variety of po11s i11ustrate that, if you're a
Republican, it's likely that you're looking for experience and strength. The GOP candidates who pop up
most often in polls as having those qualities are Mitt
Romney, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain. Then come
Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson.
On the other hand, if you~ re a Democrat, po11s show
you're more likely to be looking for new ideas and
someone who wi111ead the country in a new direction.
The candidates mentioned most often who fit that bill
are just about anyone other than Hillary Clinton, who is
seen by many as simply an extension of the Clinton
dynasty.
The New York senator is still the Democratic frontrunner, of course. But it is not because she is seen by .
Democrats as having new ideas or providing a new
direction. Rather, it's because she is seen by many as
having the best chance to win. The "new ideas/new
direction" mantle seems to go to Barack Obama or
John Edwards.
American voters are complicated. We already knew
Republicans and Democrats didn't agree on what they
want a president to do, or to stand for. But it's interesting to note the two parties can't even seem to agree on
what personal qualities they want in a president. It's
more evidence that red staters and blue staters really do
Jive in two different worlds. and it helps explain why
some presidents have sometimes found it difficult to
govern over such a divided electorate.
For our part, we'd like to think that, when it comes to
presidential candidates, you can have it all - experience and strength on the one hand, and new ideas and a
new direction on the other. This is a false choice concocted by media pollsters, and one that forces voters to
choose between worthwhile qualities that any president
would find helpful and that any group of voters would
find valuable in a president.
As for which candidate in either the Republican or
Democratic field best represents this blend, that is for
voters to decide. Bill Richardson tells Democratic audiences he represents both experience and change, and
one could imagine Huckabee making the same pitch to
Republicans.
Certainly there are other qualities that voters think
are important to have in a president, such as honesty
and trustworthiness. On that score, Obama and
Edwards tend to do better than Clinton and Richardson
for Democrats. For Republicans, it is Huckabee and
Romney who are often seen as the most honest and
trustworthy.
Perhaps it comes from voters having so many choices in a presidential election that is so t1uid. Choices are
great but, at some point, they have to be exercised. And
voters have to decide what qualities they want in their
next president.
Don't look away. This is about to get interesting.
Freedom of the press is
not an end in itself but a
means to the end of
[achieving] a free society.
As experienced readers of rhis
space (both of you) know, Tam not a
fan of the Republican presidential
candidates.
1 like the Libertarian, Ron Paul,
but he'd drive me crazy as presidenr.
T admire John McCain, hut he's in
love with the war. It goes down from
there - to Rudy Giuliani, who is
Dick Cheney without the charm.
ButT don't understand why some
people, and more than a few, think
Mitt Romney is unqualified because
he is a member or the Church or
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A
Mormon.
There seems to be this feeling that
Mormonism is more cult than religion and a kooky cult at that To that
I say, let's put it to rhe test:
Do Mormons drink sacramental
wine and pretend they're drinking the
blood ol' their rounder? No, Mormons
don't dlink at all, actually.
Do Mormons, as a matter of rituaL
hire a non-medical person ro mutilate
their baby sons' penises when they're
8 days old? T don't believe so.
Do Mormons rush into crowded
buildings and blow themselves up in
expectation that God will reward
them with eternal lire in a heaven
equipped with 32 virgins per martyr?
Never heard of it happening.
All of those things happen in other
religions.
What about polygamy? Well, what
· about it? The Mormon Church with
drew lh sandion or polygamy in
1890
117 years ago. If you're
expecting Mitt Romney to lake two
or three more wives anytime soon
you're going to be sadly disappointed. Actually, of the four major
Republican
candi
dates; he's the only
one \\ho's had only
one wife.
M) point 1s tlus:
Looked at from the
outside, all religions
seem more than passing strange and, at
their extremes. downright crazy. That is
becau.,e they are not
rational; they are systems of behef. Atlempts to justify
religious beliefs rationally are always
a liule absurd (see "scientific creationism"). Belief and the feeling of
well-being il engenders need no further JUStification.
I'm rine with that. Tt's a free country: believe what you want (except
for the bombing, of course).
I'm sure Mormons practice things
that seem odd to the rest of us. So
what'? Looked at objecllvely, from a
distam:e, they are an admirable peo
pie -clean-living, industrious, generous and civic-minded.
If you don't want to vote for Mill
Romney, 1 can think of a number of
very good reasons not to do so. Being
a Mormon isn't one of them.
I suppo'>e you now imagine that I
think the Democmtic candidates are
the eat's pajamas. a bunch of wouldhe philosopher-J...ings \) ing to lead us
out of the wilderness.
Not e\en close. T think they tend
to he professional politicians who
have spent their politi~allives walk
ing around with a tin cup, beg~:,>:ing
money rrom rich contributors. They
have sold out so m<my times to so
many people that they can hardly
remember who OW!lS them anymore.
They just know il's not the American
people.
Not that I blame
them. Thar"s our system. If you don't do it
you don 'I get to be a
serious candidate for ,
President You gel to
be Dennis Kucinich.
Still, lhere·s some- ,.,
thing about each of the
Democrats that I can
like. lt"s an extremely
intelligent, a.t1iculate
group, for the most
part very knowledgeable about the
problems that beset this country.
What's ruissing, I think, is a sense
of boldness in addressing those problems, a message that some solutions
require sacrifice. not merely by the
very rich but by all or us.
I'd like a candidate to te1l Iowa
that corn based ethanol is a fraud and
that the state is setting itself up for
~
disaster by depending on it for so
much or tts economic prosperity. T' d
hke lum or her to tell the American
voter that the problem with gasoline
isn"t that irs too expensive, but that
it's too cheap.
It's not enough to talk truth to
power: you have to talk it to voters
too.
I'm not holding my breath.

School with a

Wesley Christian School .
celebrates 1Oth anniversary I
On November 20, Wesley Chtistian School celebrated their tenth school year with a-special Chapel Service
of Thanksgiving. The service provided a forum for
praise to the Lord for the success of Wesley Chtistian
School over the last decade as well as a chance to rellect
on the history of how the school came into being.
Fifteen years ago, the concept of Wesley Christian
School did not even exist. Ken Lemaster was the pastor
of a church called Christ United Methodist Church in
Allen. However, his life and ministry took a very different turn one night while watching a television documentary. The film's content discussed the role of God in
public education and delved into th~ mgument of
whether or not there is a place for Christianity in school.
Dr. Lemaster had a very clear, personal conviction about
the need for Christ to be a part of every person's life and
particularly for Jesus to be part of every child's life. Ken
suddenly had an epiphany. He realized that he did feel
strongly about the role or God in education and about
providing a Christ-like atmosphere. Thus, he asked himself "Why don't I do something about this?" He turned
to his wife, Kay and said, "Maybe we need a new ministry as a part of Christ United Methodist Church."_
A short time after Ken's initial idea came into being,
he introduced the concept of a school to his congregation. "From the very beginning, T saw the school as an
extension of our church and envisioned it a<; an outreach
ministry where we could positively impact the lives of
our students and their families." stated Rev. Lemaster. "1
wanted to provide our area children with an exceptional
academic education provided in a safe. secure environment where we could be uninhibited about Christ.
However, what T did not want was to create a place of
rigorous religion but rather an environment of balance,
discipleship and freedom from denominational issues.''
After discussions with the congregation and meetings with individual administrative committees at the
church, the school took its first steps toward becoming
a reality. Both Ken and the congregation of Cht1st
United Methodist Church had come to believe that this
school was not only a great opportunity for spreading
the Gospel but that this undertaking was truly the will or
God. The school was to be named Wesley Chtistian
School as a tribute to John Wesley, the founder of
Methodism. The mascot for the school was dctcnnincd
as the Circuit Rider. "I was so inspired by John Wesley
and his ministry.! stood in awe of his ability to motivate
and move people to action," Rev. Lemaster stated. "I
found people like Wesley and the men and women who
comptised the ministry of the Circuit Riders to be fascinating. They look the church outside the walls or the
building itself and were willing to give up those things
that most or us deem as important to follow Christ."
Wesley Christian School opened to its first students
with total enrollment at only 14 children. Even with
such small numbers, Chapel services were a fixture
from the beginning. One of the wonderlul, original concepts of the school was that there would be a time set
aside each week when the students of the school could
come into tbe sanctuary of the aLljoining church and
worship the Lord in a service that was all their own.
Today, Chapel services occur every Wednesday and are
led by the students. "T am blessed every week when T
step into that stmctuary and see our students, along with
their rrienus and families, joining together in. worship.
We have students who sing in groups, others who perform solos. some who lead prayers and, pledges, and students who pcrfonn our puppet ministry. lt is such a
blessing to watch children sing praises to God and use
their talents for Him. We arc so fortunate to have this
opportunity to teach our children not just about the Lord
but how to serve Him. how to love Him anu how tl)
praise Him," acknowledged Dannette James, Music
Instructor.
Wesley Christian School joyously celebrated their
Lenth school year with a special Chapel Service of
Thanksgiving on Tuesday morning, November 20.
Throughout most of the school's existence, Janie
Tincher has served as principal. Wesley Christian chose
to usc the A Bcka cuniculum which is one of the
nation's finest Christian based academic programs. The
A Bcka curriculum is a t.rca<;ury of textbook'>, programs,
and teaching materials that reflect the very best in scholarship. design, practicality and Scriptural fidelity. "Our

How much does phantom gasoline cost?
by TOM and RAY
MAGLIOZZI
Tom and Ray:
I recently saw an article on
a Web site claiming that car
owners should pump their gas
in (he morning, when it's cool
out, instead of in the afternoon,
when 1t's hot. The alleged reasoning is that gasoline expands
at higher temperatures and
contract~ at lower temperatures, allowing more "dense"
gas to be pumped when it's
cold. I personally think this i
nonsense, since a car's gas
tank also will expand and contract, and because gas stored in
an underground 500-gallon
tank probably doesn't warm by
more than a few degrees. So,
what is the truth to this? Richard
RAY: Well, the expansion
story is true, Richard. When
gas pumps are calibrated,
they're set to measure a gallon
of gasoline that's 60 degrees
Fahrenheit.
TOM: But when gasoline
gets hotter than that, it
expands. So you get less than a
gallon's worth of energy for
every gallon you pump. How
much less? Well, the most
recent congressional study
we've seen found that the average temperature of gasoline
sold in the United States is
almost 65 degrees F. That
means the average Joe is paying an extra 3 cents a gallon for
phantom ga. aline.
RAY: What can be done
about it? Well, you can fill up
in the middle of U1c night. But
a better solution would be to
use pumps that compen~ate for
temperature fluctuations . In
Canada, where gasoline u~uai
Iy is COLDER than the standard - which is to ilie consumer's advantage
it was
ilie gas stations that voluntarily
backed a program to use those
pumps. Quelle surprise, as they
say in Quebec!
TOM: But here, where ilie
gas stations are getting the
extra money, iliey argue that
retrofitting ilieir pumps is too
expensive. They say it would
cost $1,500-$3,000 per pump.
RAY: But with the value of
the phantom gasoline sold
adding up to more than $2 billion a year now, ilie pressure
on the gas stations will probably continue to beat up. Now, if
iliey'd agree to put that 3 cents
a gallon toward clean bathrooms, maybe a compromise
could be worked out here.
This minivan has a few
screws loose
door-hinge problems We took
the car ba<.:k to the dealer, and
he told us that Toyota will pay
for the parts for the second
door, but he wants us to pay
for the labor, which is expensive! I think the fact that both
doors fell off within one
month means the car has a
problem independent of our
usage. J've already paid to
repair one door; I'd like
Toyota to pay to repair the
other door. BUT I am finding
it difficult to find anyone at
Toyota who can help us. The
customer-service flunkies say
there is no one else to talk to.
A call to the regional offices in
San Ramon, Calif., got me
redirected back to the aforementioned customer-service
office. I have loved this minivan up until this point. and

Dear Tom and Ray:
I have a 2004 Toyota
Sienna XLE with 28,000
miles. Last month while camping with our family offive, the
big automatic sliding door on
the right side o f the car
stopped working. We manually shut the door and did not
open it again until we got
home. Once home, my 5-yearold pushed the button to open
that door, and the door fell off
the car. Yep. Fell off the side of
the car. It literally was hanging
by part of one of the upper
hinges. We tied it to the car
and took it in to the dealer for
repair. We paid for the repair
and were happy to have our
car back in working order
again - until last week, when
the other door did the exact
same thing. So I called Toyota
to see if there had been some
sort of recall or problem \Vith
Toyota minivans that we
should be aware of. and told
them our tale. The guy at the
customer-service line told me
that he had heard of other
minivans with similar problems, but no, there was no
recall, just a "TSB" regarding
Talk Cars
letter, Kate.
RAY: Yeah. I can't imagine
that Toyota wou ld want to
squander its worl dwide reputation for quality over a couple
of
under-designed
door
hinges. I mean. do you think
Toyota wants the word out that
its doors are fall ing off after
28,000 miles?
TOM: They' ll probably
read your letter and be so
embarrassed that they'll come
to you and ask if they can
please fix it, at no charge, right
away.
RAY: They may even
worry that you might write
hack to us and report some further delay on thei r part, and
that we might print that letter,
too.
TO, : Even though I'm not
aware of a TSB (Technical
Service Bu lletin) on this, I'm
guessing that this was a flaw in
~ome 2004 S1ennas. That was
the first year for the current
Sienna design. so you were
one of the guinea pigs.
RAY:
They
probably
beefed up the design for those
hinges at some point, because,
frankly, we haven't seen this in
the shop before.
TOM: So when they beg
you to let them fix it, make
sure you get the upgraded
hinges. If you ju~t get yours
replaced with the same old
ones, your door will fall off
again in another 28,000 miles.
And you'll have to write to us
agam.
RAY: Good luck, Kate! Let
us know how it all turns out.

On the third day, the doctor
met us as we were coming in.
He said he had to talk to us.
This is it, I thought.
He sat us down and started
to talk. I did all I could to concentrate on hts words. Finally,
I heard "fully recover." I burst
into tears - at last, happy
tears. My prayers had been
answered. I had a failier.
Since then, I realize that
nothing is ever certain. Now
when my parents say something, I listen. When the family sits down to dinner, we
enjoy each oilier's company.
Dinnertime isn't just time to

• Continued from pS
The heat gets turned up
when a homeless man comes
forward as a witness to the
warehouse robbery. When said
witness winds up as street
pizza under an automobile,
Steele begins to see the light.
Unfortunately, so do the sticky
fingers at the squad who
decide that Wade is gonna sing
and that they would be better
off without Steele as well.
It all leads to an extended
shootout at a pawnshop, where
nobody is able to score a direct
hit for ftve minutes, despite ilie
enclosed space. Eventually
bodies begin hitting the floor
and just about everyone goes
down. When the smoke clears,
one good cop walks away but a
final note from the filmmakers
reveals that no one was ever
prosecuted for the crimes we
have just witnessed.
This one is about as good as
it gets for a dollar. The action
sequences are plentiful and the
drama quotient gets equal time
as the main characters deal
with moral dilemmas. It sure
helps that a talented bunch of
actors are on display here and
they help the film over the
rough spots, which are plentiful thanks to uninspired direction by Ed Anders (don't bother to commit that name to
memory).
Anders makes a few blunders that the cast can't clean
up, which include substituting
rainy Vancouver locations for
sunny Los Angeles. He also
gets sloppy with the opening
sequence, which appears to
have been shot on both a rainy
and sunny day with little editing know-how, so that it
appears to be alternately rain·
ing and clear from moment to
moment. He also proves to be
humbled by action scenes that
come off as clumsy, though he
does manage to flip over a
burning vehicle well enough.
The actors sell this one and
include Dennis Hopper (in a
role that seems to have been
shot in one day), Les Durning
and
Marc
Singer
("Beastmaster") as Steele.
~ichael
Madsen
("Resevoir Dogs") lbgs a fair
amount of screen time as ilie
evil leader of ilie bad cops, but
his is the only performance
that appears to be phoned in.
Madsen has oodles of screen
presence but his work is so
casual here that you expect he
was more worried about those
checks clearing than giving
any weight to his lines. That
said he does have some
moments at ilie start of the
movie though by the end it's
clear that he is barely paying
attention.
Singer handles the central
role with much more skill and
deserves the poor man's Nick
Nolte award for best impersonation of moral anguish in a
B-movie.
For a dollar movie, there
are at least 80 cents worth of
primo stuff here, though I
wouldn't expect any change
when the clerk at the dollar
venue of your choice scans
this one.

out of you and you'll be working male prostitutes in

Gordon has no regrets after fillishing second in title chase
by JENNA FRYER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
•
NEW YORK -.Minutes
into NASCAR's annual industry luncheon, the driver known
as "Four Time" spotted teammate Jimmie Johnson at the
next table.
"What's up champ?" Jeff
Gordon whispered, reaching
across to shake Johnson's
hand. "Two-Time now. Twotime."
Despite losing the ftght for
the Nextcl Cup title, Gordon is
very much enjoying Johnson's
second consecutive championship.
The
Hendrick
Motorsports drivers waged a
fierce competition all season,
but Johnson used an unbelievable late push to handily
defend his title while denying
Gordon a fifth one.
But Gordon showed no
signs of bitterness Thursday
when the 12 title contending
drivers gathered at Cipriani's
to pick up their end of the season awards.
'·Jimmie and I finished 1-2
and that was obviously a
tremendous year for Hendrick

about. I had a great year."

And in becoming the first
driver since Gordon to win
consecutive titles and notch
double-digit wins (1 0) in a
season, Johnson is tugging at
Gordon's hold on the role of
the best active driver.
The two headed into the
finale at Homestead-Miami

FRANKFORT - Hunting and

Nationally, 9 percent of hunters
and 25 percent of anglers are

to find a gift for the outdoorswoman on your Christmas list.
Consider the most common
problems experienced by women
who hunt and fish: It's difficult to
get started in the first place, wellfitting clothes are hard to find,
and guns often don't fit properly.
These three issues are perfect
opportunities for gift-giving this
Christmas. Some great ideas to
address them include outdoor.
• instruction, waders, boots and
clothing made specifically for
women, and gun alterations.
National research shows that
women who hunt and fish often
start later in life and may have
less experience than men.
Instruction in the outdoors is the
perfect gift for women who are
just getting started. Consider
shooting or casting lessons, a
guided fishing trip or instructional books and DVDs. If you're
experienced in an outdoor activity she's interested in,· create a
homemade coupon for a day of
~ your time at the range, in the
woods or on the water.
One of the best gifts you can
give a beginner is a gift certificate for a Becoming an

The
three-day
workshops,
offered by the Kentucky
Department of Fish and Wildlife

Participants are taught by experienced instructors, both men and

ic items, and a couple of small
specialty companies cater only
to the outdoorswoman.
There are several models of
full-length waders on the market made just for women.
Good women's waders are cut
to tit a female shape and proportions, but are as tough and
well-designed as men 's versions. Look for the same features you'd want in any good
pair of waders - breathable
materials, reinforced knees,
comfortable suspenders and a
strong belt.
Men's boots are made for
men. Unfortunately, many
wading or hunting hoots,
including some of the best
models available, arc not made
in women's sizes. A smaller
men's size may work with
some boots on some women,
but many ouldoorswomen lind
men's boots too wide and tall.
Even if you need to choose
something other than the latest, greatest boot on the market
in order to get a women's size,
that's probably going to fit the
woman on your list better than
a cutting-edge model that trips
her on the way to the tree
stand.
Hunting clothing is notoriously hard to find in women's
sizes. \Vhile stores stock a
variety of materials, camo palterns and sizes for men, the
women's section tends to be
sparse or nonexistent. Make
the extra effort and find what's
available. Men's shirts and
jackets are usually too large in
the shoulder, binding in the
chest and narrow at the hip,
and pants are too big in the
waist, small in the hip and
inches too long. The more
buyers choose to purchase
women-specific clothing- not
men's sizes - the more
women's models will come on
the market in the future.
Many people, especially
women, shoot production guns
that imply don't fit. For the
female hunter or shooter on
your list, consider a custom fitting by a stockmaker or gunsmith. Precision fitting can be
as simple as swapping re..:oil
pads or a<> complex a<; shorten-
ing a stock or raising a comh,
which means it is not a good
surprise gift. Take her with 4f

Buying gifts for the outdoorswoman can be a challenge. You may need to get
creative with your gift ideas.
or peruse catalogs, go online
or drive a lil!Je farther to find a
store that carries outdoor items
tailored for women. But the
effort is worth it. Women who

Louisville edges Rutgers, 41-38 •
by WILL GRAVES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE
Art
Carmody tilled the one hole in
his resume just in time to salvage Louisville's disappoinL
ing season.
The record-setting kicker
drilled a 33-yard lleld goal
with 20 seconds left to lift the
Cardinals to a 41-38 victory
over stunned Rutgers on
Thursday, upstaging the going
away party of hometown kid
Brian Brohm.
The senior, who set an
NCAA record for career points
by a kicker, had never made
one like this during his career.
He went oul in style though,
calmly drilling the hall thmugh
the uprights.
Carmody finished his career
with 433 points, breaking the
old record held by Houston's
Roman Anderson, who had
423 points for the Cougars
from 1988-91.
Carmody's rem wouldn'L
have been possible without
Brohrn, who threw for 237
yards. including a 46-yard
strike to Harry Douglas to put
Carmouy in range to win it.
The Cardinals (6-6, 3-4 Big
East) got it back with a stunning comeback from 18 points
down in the second half, one
that was similar to the rally
Rutgers (7-5, 3-4) put together
to upset the Cardinals last year.
Louisville was ranked No. 3
last season when it went to
Rutgers, and had just knocked
off West Virginia. But the
Cardinals let an 18-point lead
slip away, ruining their shot at
a perfect season.
The Cardinals have been far
from perfect this year, but
Brohm and couple or late
stunds by one of the nation's
worst defenses left Louisville
with remote hopes for a bowl
bid.
"A fitting end to the way the
season went," said Louisville
coach Steve Kragthorpe. "We
never seemed to be able to
make a play through the season
to put us over the top, but we
did that tonight."
Brohm and Carmody had
plenty of help. Brock Bolen
ran for 117 yard.' and two
touchdowns and Bilal Powell
added 91 yards as the
Cardinals offset a fierce
Rutgers pao;s rush by running
quick-hit plays nght by the
blitzing Scarlet Knights.
Ray Rice ran for 120 yards
and three scores for Rutgers.
Mike Teel threw for 265 yards
and two louchdowns to Kenny
Britt, hut Rutgers couldn't find •
a way to stop Brohm and the
Cardinals in the second half.
Offensive tackle Jeremy
Zuttah rumbled 13 yards on a
lateral pass. and little-used
rreshman quarterback Chris
Paul-Etienne came in to throw
a bomb to Britt. The pnss was
incomplete, hut Louisville's

·without Favre, Packers hang In but can't beat Romo, Cowboys
by JAIME ARON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING, Texas - Tony
Romo took a knee, scaling a
playoff-clinching, record-set
ling victory over the team he
grew up rooting for and the
quarterback he's obviously
patterned himself after. So
when it was time for hugs and
handshakes, the kid from
Wisconsin went looking for
Brett Favre.
He had to settle for Aaron
Rodgers.
Favre was already in the
locker room getting treated for
a banged-up right elbow and a
separated
left
shoulder.
Besides, the graying icon
already had seen enough from
Romo
and
the
Dallas
Cowboys.
For all his denials about
Favre's influence on him,
Romo sure played a lot like a
young No. 4 Thursday night
- full or moxie and joy, but
needing a bit of a high-wire
act to send the Cowboys past
the Green Bay Packers 37-27
and into the lead for homefield advantage throughout the
NFC playoffs.
"When T got out to the
field. (I realized) it was pretty
neat, Lhe atmosphere," Romo
said. "1 looked around and
was like, 'This is why you
want to play sports.' You want
to play in games like this.
Your competitive juices get
!lowing and you want to prove
what kind of player you arc.''
Romo led Dallas to two
field goals, then three touchdowns on his first five drives.
He finished with .four TD
passes, giving the Cowboys
( 11- I) their sixth straight win
and guaranteeing a spot in the
playoffs.
They also have a leg up on
avoiding a trip to Lambeau
Field should these teams meet
again in the NFC champi
on ship.
"We've got ourselves in the
driver's seat," Dallas' Terrell
Owens said. "Now we've got
to stay Lhere."
The Packers (10-2) ended a
six-game winning streak and
arc now essentially two games
behind Dallas in the chase for
the conference's top spot with
only four games left.
The bigger concern is
Favre's health.
Favre was hurl on a hit by
cornerback Nate Jones in the
second quarter. His run of 249
consecutive starts- a record
that's about six seasons longer
than the next-bc.<;t by a quarterback - might be in jeopardy, although he has 10 days
to heal before the Packers play
again, Dec. 9 at home against
Oakland.
"T had a similar injury last
year," Favre said. "I lost feeling in my fingers and T still
have some tingling. But 1
think T'll be line."
Rodgers, who spent the
week pretending he was
Romo in Green Bay practices,
provided the kind of rally
Favre usually specializes in,
even throwing the first touchdown pass or his three-year
career. But he's no Brett
Favre, so this comeback came
up short.
Romo was 19-of-30 for
309 yards. He's up to 33 TD
passes, smashing the club season record. He tied another
club mark by throwing a
touchdown in his 16th straight
game.
Owens caught seven passes
for 156 yards and a touchdown. He tied a· team record
with his 14th TD catch of the
season and tied another mark
with a TD catch in seven
straight
games.
Patrick
Crayton caught two of the
touchdowns and Anthony
Fasano the other.
Dallas al.so extended the
best start in franchise history.
With four games left, the
Cowboys already have their
most wins in a season since
going 12-4 in 1995, their last
Super Bowl se.ason, and
they're two wins from matching the rranchise record.
"It's pretty amazing to
break any record with all the
glory this team has had," firstyear coach Wade Phillips said.
The Packers arc still in
great shape for at least the No.
2 seed and a first-round bye
because their next three opponents have losing records. And
the idea of starting Rodgers
next week may no longer be
a.<; dreadful to fans who have
wondered if he was a wasted
draft pick.-ln the most extended action pf his career, he was
18-of-26 for 201 yards and a
touchdown with no turnovers.
"T thought he played
great," Favre said. "He gave
us a chance to win."
Favre wa<; 5-of-14 for 56
yards with two interceptions,
one that looked like a punt and
another on the play he was
injured. At least two other
heaves could have been
picked oft'. The Packers' only
touchdown during his action
came on a 62-yard run by
Ryan Grant.
It's a shame most of the
country missed seeing this
game because it sure was worthy of a bigger audience than
the NFL Network can provide.
There were historic teams
and star players, dramatic
plays and bizarre ones - like
T.O. juggling a potential backbreaking touchdown, letting it
turn into an interception that
could have leL Green Bay take
the lead. And, of course, there
was the Romo-Favre stOryline, which got rolling when
they smiled and laughed
through a chat on the field
about 1112 hours before kickorr.
What did they say?
"Exchanging recipes and
stuff," Romo said. "Guy talk.!
don't know. We just talked
about hunting or something. 1
told him NFL Network was
going to have a heart attack if
I didn't come over and say hi .
They were running out or film
waiting for it."
Even the pregame coin LOss
was cool a<; Roger Staubach
and Troy Aikman were honorary
captains,
Jotnmg
Cowboys players dressed in
throwback unif-orms that ironically hark back to the days
when Vince Lombardi and the
Packers dominated Tom
Landry's early Dallas teams.
Green Bay got a field goal
on its first drive, but wouldn 'I
lead again. The Cowboys
were up 6-3, then turned it
into 27-10 in the span of just
eight offensive snaps.
Then Favre left.and Dallas'
intensity went, too. The lead
frittered to 27-24 and after Al
Harris caught the interception
caused by Owens, the Packers
were driving for a go ahead
touchdown. But Green Bay's
bid ended quickly, then Romo
tlrove right back for a touchdown that made it 34-24-.
Rodgers got a field goal,
then the Packers needed a stop
from their defense. But with
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and
cornerback Charles Woodson
inactive with injuries, they
couldn't do it. Dalla<; got a
clock-draining drive and field
goal for a 10-point lead with
1:03 left - and with Favre
nowhere in sight, having
already headed to the locker
room before the 2-minute
warmng.
Notes: Favre already considered Texas Stadium a miserable place, half-joking earlier this week that he was hoping ·'it would be gone before I
got hack there." He's 0-9 here.
. .. Dallas leads the regularseason series 11-1 0.
Cowboys WR Mile.<; Austin
didn't have a catch, but he
drew pass interference penalties of 42 and 40 yards. . ..
Look for the shaggy-haired
Rodgers to get a haircut soon.
He vowed not to trim it until
he threw a touchdown.
Houston Nutt introduced as Ole Miss football coach
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OXFORD, Miss. - Five
week<; after handing Mississippi
an embarrassing loss, Houston
Nutt returned to this oak-studded campus Wednesday as the
Rebels' new coach.
N utt was introduced to 1,500
cheering fans during a news
conference less than 48 hours
after resigning at Arkansas and
the day after Ole Miss athletic
director Pete Boone announced
he'd hired Nutt to resuiTcct a
football program that has lost its
way.
"One thing I love about Ole
Miss is the tradition," Null said,
naming past players like Archie
Manning and Frank "Bruiser"
Kinard. "It's about tradition.
That's the reason T am here. T
feel like this place can be successful. T feel like Lhis place can
win."
Nutt replaces Ed Orgeron,
who wa<; fired Saturday after
the Rebels finished 3-9. The
team went winless in the
Southeastern Conference for
the Jir~t time since 1982,
including a 44-8 loss to Nutt's
Ramrbacks.
While Orgeron incrca-;cd the
talent level, he never fielded a
winner in three tumultuous
years and finished 10-25.
Boone said Nutt marches the
dest.Tiption of the kind of coach
he told Chancellor Robert
Khayat he was looking for: "I
said, 'It's fairly simple. T'd like
a
proven
Southeastern
Conference coach."'
Nutl's resume matches Ole
Miss' needs. The 2006 SEC
coach of the year led Arkansa~
to an 8-4 finish and a likely
Cotton Bowl berth, the school's
eighth postseason trip in Nutt's
lOyears.
·
The 50-year-old is 111-70 in
15 years a'> a head coach at
Arkansas, Boise Stare and
Murray SLate, and he's been a
winner in the SEC. He revived
the Razorbacks after replacing
Danny Ford in 1997, going 7548. Nutt was 42-38 in confer-
ence and won three SEC West
division titles, though no championships.
Nutt grew up in Little Rock,
Ark., played for the Razorbacks
for a season and wa~ an a<;sisLant coach in Fayetteville. But
his relationship with Arkansac:;
had soured over the last year.
Nutt expressed hope Sunday
that he could stay, but resigned
Monday evening and was hired
by Boone about four hours later.
Null went 10-4 in 2006 to
win the SEC West, but he's
been under fire since the
January departures of offensive
coordinator Gus Malzahn and
quarterback Mitch Mustain.
The Razorbacks lost their first
Centre beats Berea 80-67 for second
TIMES STAFF REPORT
BEREA - Four players
scored in double tigures as the
Centre College men's basketball team earned is second win
of the season defeating Berea
College 80-67 in a non-conference game Tuesday at rhc
Seabury Center.
The Colonels, which had
not played since the LaGrange
Tournament November 16-17,
improve to 2-1 on the season,
while Berea falls to 2-5 in the
early going.
Centre shot 53.6-perccnt
(15-28) in the first half,
including five of 10 from
beyond the three-point line to
take a 41 31lead into the lock
er room.
The second half was more
evenly played a') the Colonels
only scored three more points
(39-36)
than
the
Mountaineers, but that wa<; all
they needed in earning their
second straight win.
Sophomore forward Danny
Noll (Ft. Thomas) led all scorers with 19 points on seven of
14- shooting from the field.
Senior guard Matt Nestheide
(Edgewood) had 18 points, six
assists and five rebounds.
Senior guard Thomas Britt
(Louisville) tallied 15 points
and six rebounds and junior
forward
T.C.
Thomason
(Russellville) added 14 points,
four rebounds and four a~sisL~
three Southcastem Conference
games this year, fueling more
speculation about his job security.
Null agreed to a four-year,
$7.4 million contract with
options for three more years
totaling $6.6 million. He
appears to have the t.Tedentials
required to turn around a program that hasn't been much of a
force in the SEC since the
1960s.
The Rebels won three
national titles and six SEC
championships between 194763. Nutt said it's his goal to
bring championships to Oxford
again.
"We want to win an SEC
championship outright," Nutt
said. "We want to do those
Lhings. But you're jn the toughest conference in America. So
it's going to take an unbelievable commitment by everyone."
About 500 fans had to be
turned away at the door of the
campus' Gertrude C. Ford
Performing Arts Center, and
Null had to pause through several ovations from the standingroom only crowd. Signs that the
Ole Miss faithful approved of
the hire were everywhere.
"It give.<; me chills when you
clap and applaud because it
means you're hungry." Nutt
said.

For the game, the . Lady

NASCAR Sprint Cup upstart Regan Smith took his share of
laps around the Kentucky Speedway track Wednesday during a testing session.

Smith expands NASCAR Sprint Cup knowledge with Kentucky Speedway test
TIMES STAFF REPORT
SPARTA - Rookie of theYear hopeful Regan Smith
laid the groundwork for his
first full NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series season by testing
his new Dale Earnhardt, Inc.
(DET), machine at Kentucky
Speedway Wednesday.
The six-year NASCAR
Nationwide Series veteran
will compete in the No. 01
Chevrolet in 2008 and is part
of a new five-driver DEI
Sprint Cup line-up that also
will include Paul Menard in
the No. 15 and Martin Truex,
Jr., in the No. I. Newcomer
Aric Almuola and veteran
Mark Mark Martin will split
time in the team's No. 8
entry.
Smith shared the No. 01
seat with Martin last season
under the Ginn Racing banner before the learn merged
with DEl later in the year.
Smith competed in seven
NASCAR Sprint Cup races
and earned a season-best
24th-place finish at Talladega
April29. He started a seasonbest 1Oth at Watkins Glen
International Aug. 12. He
also raced in 17 NASCAR
Nationwide Series events and
registered a total or three lopfive and five top-10 finishes.
He took his only series pole
award at Kentucky Speedway
June 16 before finishing 19th
in the "Meijer 300 Presented
by Oreo."
His brief but solid 2007
experience will help him
approach his 2008 endurance
test with confidence.
"I think I picked up a lot
(last season). 1 got. a lot of
races in and completed most with his up-and-coming
or the laps in those races. T teammates Truex, Jr. and
tticd not tear up equipment, Menard throughout the seathat was one of the first goals, son.

"Likewise, Martin, who

Smith also will benefit Paul now have a couple years
from a deeper involvement of Sprint Cup experience
with the veteran Martin and under their belts and I' II be
the opportunity to consult able to go get information
from them," SUllth said.
He additionally likes that
the NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series will utilil'e a single car
design for the entire season.
"There's not going to be
the unknown, 'l wonder how
the other car would've been
like at this place.' It's our
racecar, that's what we have
to work with and T think il's
better they went ahead and

(one) car (design). By this
time next year, I don't think
anyone will be talking about
the other car. We're going to
work with what we have and
make it good," Smith ·aid.
With several ractors working in his favor, Smith set the
goal or winning top series
rookie honors next season.
"I tl1ink Rookie of the Year

title. I look at ir and it's all

keep that going strong.
"If we can go out and get
top fives and top 1Os by the
end of the year, consistently
try to run up front, get good
experience and finish races those w1ll be the biggest
things."
He shaved away a portion
or his learning curve
Wednesday
by
making
progress on his set-up.
Smith also was joined on
the track by his teammate
Menard and USAC star Ricky
Stenhouse, Jr., who turned
laps in a Roush Fenway
ARCA REIMAX Series car
with guidance from 2003
NASCAR Craftsman Tmck

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
Odds & Ends
• MISSOULA, Mont. Taking holiday decorations
from a man named Clouse this
time of year might land you on
the "naughty" list. Putting
them up in your yard with the
tags stiJl on might land you in
jail.
Michael Allard, 39,' is
accused of stealing Christmas
trees and wreaths from the
Montana Wreaths & Pink
Grizzly Christmas Store several blocks from his home. He
was arrested Monday and
charged with felony burglary
and misdemeanor theft.
Shane Clouse, the shop's
owner, reported a burglary
after he spotted Allard walking
with a shopping cart full of
items Clouse recognized as his
own, the Missoulian newspaper reported. Clouse later saw
two of his Christmas trees in
Allard's yard and stacks of
wreaths in the entryway of his
trailer.
Clouse said the trees were
identical to those he sells and
pointed out that the red and
yellow sales tags were still
attached.
A sheriff's deputy who
responded noticed trees and
wreaths at Allard's house, then
saw him inside making additional wreaths, according to
the newspaper.
Investigators said that
Allard acknowledged taking
the wreath-making supplies
but said that the items had
been abandoned near the business and that he didn't break
in. He said a friend had given
·him the trees .
Allard was being held
Thursday in the Missoula
County Detention Facility. A
phone message left Thursday
by The Associated Press with
the regional public defender's
office seeking the name of
Allard's attorney was not
immediately returned.
• WESTBURY, N.Y. -A
72-year-old man fought off a
would-be robber who brandished a gun, wrecked his
Christmas decorations, and
allegedly had been sent by his
nephew in search of jewelry
and cash, police said.
"I don' t know how I got the
power," said the victim,
Reinaldo Herrera.
Herrera was working on his
outdoor Christmas light display Tuesday afternoon when
Santos Zelaya, 21, followed
him into his suburban home on
Long Island and confronted
him with y.rhat turned out to be
a pellet gun, police said.
Herrera believed it was a reru
firearm.
Demanding cash and jewelry, Zelaya tore down Herrera's
living room Christmas tree and
Nativity scene, Detective Lt.
Raymond Cote said.
"Jesus, Mary and the wise
men all fell to the ground,"
Cote said.
Herrera was pushed to the
ground, but he managed to
fight back.
"I punched him many,
many times, (and) he punched
me," the 5-foot-6-inch-tall
supermarket worker said. "He
got afraid."
Zelaya ran off, police said,
but authorities soon noticed
him because he was without a
jacket, which he had lost in the
fray. They later also apprehended Herrera's nephew
Jorge Duque, 47, who drove
with Zelaya to Herrera's home
and waited in a car during the
robbery attempt, police said.
Duque thought his uncle
would be a good target
because he kept cash and jewelry in the house, Cote said.
Zelaya and Duque were
arrested on robbery and burglary charges. No telephone
numbers for them could be
found at the addresses police
provided. Information on their
court appearances was not
available early Thursday.
• MONTAGUE, Mass. Cash fluttering in the breeze
might have seemed like. a gift
from heaven, but anyone in
this western Massachusetts
town who grabbed some of it
is being asked to please give it
back.
'
The money - a total of
$1, I 00
belonged to 83ycar-old Mary Olive Corbiere,
who was banking on it to buy
Christmas pre~ents and lost it
after a freak accident.
Corbiere had left a drugstore Tuesday and was putting
her bags in her car when a
wind gust pushed her shopping
cart - still containing her
purse and cane - into the
back of a nearby delivery
truck.
The cart somehow became
stuck in a rear wheel well
before the truck pulled away
and disappeared into traffic.
"Everything was normal,
then I turned around and the
cart had taken off," said
Corbiere, a retired English
teacher and nurse.
The cart was dragged for
blocks along one of the town's
busiest thoroughfares as the
driver, oblivious to what had
occurred, headed to the next
delivery.
Witnesses told police that
when the purse finally burst
open, strangers stopped and
grabbed the fluttering currency, which Corbiere had withdrawn for holiday shopping
and bills.
Officers found Corbiere's
tattered checkbook and cane
- but little cash. They are
urging people not to be
Grinches and return any of the
money they might have found.
"We're hoping people will
do the right thing,'' police Sgt.
Charles Dodge said.
Corbiere, though, isn't
waiting around for the
money's return. She headed to
the bank Wednesday to get a
new checkbook and make
another withdrawal.
She didn't even bother to
retrieve the battered }lurse
from police.
"That's no use to me now,"
she said. "What I really needed badly is my cane, and I am
lucky I did get that back."
• BARRE, Vt. -A homeless man thought he was doing
some good by standing at a
supermarket for 10 hours a day
to get shoppers to donate
money into a red Salvation
Army kettle.
The shelter where Paul
Tucker lives doesn't see it that
way.
The Good Samaritan Haven
ordered him out by Saturday,
saying that 4X-ycar-olcl Tucker
is spending his ti11c raising
money for the needy instead of
finding a place to Jive or looking for work.
The 20-bed shelter offers
emergency housing, clothing
and food, and requires clients
to leave each day at 7 a.m. to
look for housing or go to
work, executive director Paul
Mascitti said.
The average guest stays 29
days, Maseitti said. Tucker has
been there since May.
"If you're not doing anything 10 hours a day, whether
it's lotmging on a beach or
working for the Salvation
Army or sitting at a Dunkin'
Donuts, you're breaking your
contract with us," Mascitti
said.
"I can't see someone saying, 'I'm going to benefit
mankind when I haven't taken
care of myself."'
The Salvation Army which runs a soup kitchen he
frequents - gave Tucker one
of the bell ringer jobs two
weeks ago. The gig pays $20 a
day for meals.
"He's a sweet man; he'd do
anything for anybody," said
Capt. Louis Patrick, who runs
the local group.
Dressed in a knit Salvation
Army cap and wearing a
Salvation Army coat, Tucker
solicits the donations from 8
a.m. to 6 p.m. under a sign that
reads: "Sharing and Caring.
Need Knows No Season."
"It's for generosity, really,"
he said.
Tucker, who has worked as
a painter, a farmer and a maintenance worker at a fast-food
restaurant, has been getting
well-wishes from shoppers
who know of his situation and
holds no ill will toward the
shelter.
"I don't find fault with
them, but I don't feel it's quite
right," he said.
Tucker said he isn't sure
where he '11 go when he clears
out of the shelter. There's a
hiking camp he's heard about
nearby and may go there.
Mascitti,
meanwhile,
makes no apologies. Rules are
rules, he said.
"Here it is, the 'Grinch'
time of the year, and this guy
is being asked to leave the
homeless shelter, no room at
the inn. It' s an old story," he
said.
• DUBLIN, Ireland Irish police were hunting for a
beer bandit who stole 450 full
kegs from the Guinness brewery - the largest heist ever at
Ireland's largest brewer.
National police said a lone
man drove into the brewery a Dublin landmark and top
tourist attraction
on
Wednesday and hitched his
truck to a fully loaded trailer
awaiting delivery to city pubs.
Diageo PLC, the beverage
company that owns Guinness,
said the brewery had never
suffered such a large-scale
theft before in its 248-year history.
Police said the raider took
180 kegs of Guinness stout,
180 kegs of U.S. lager
Budweiser and 90 kegs of
Danish
beer
Carlsberg.
Guinness brews both of those
foreign brands under license
for sale in Ireland.
THiN YOU
Police dechned to say
whether the theft had been
captured by closed-circuit surveillance cameras. No description of the suspect was issued,
suggesting that nobody got a
good look at him.
Each keg holds about 88
British-si1.ed pints, the mo<;t
common serving si/e in
Ireland , equivalent to 20
ounces each. The total theft
involves 39,600 pints with a
retail
value
exceeding
$235,000.
Police said it would be difficult for the thief to sell the
stolen beer without attracting
attention, unless he has criminal associates who own a network of pubs.
But customs agents say it is
common for pubs to sell stolen
or smuggled cigarettes and
alcohol, particularly counterfeit-labeled supplies of vodka,
to avoid paying hefty taxes.
In the past, the outlawed
Irish Republican Army and
other gangs have hijacked
truck shipments of alcoholic
beverages and cigarettes for
resale in pubs run by sympathizers or friends. Those raids
typically happen in rural areas,
never in the center of Dublin.
The Republic of Ireland, a
country of 4.2 million, has
more than I 0,000 pubs and
bars. The Guinness brewery in
Dublin is the biggest supplier,
producing more than 5 million
kegs annually.

While in n meeting with
West Virginia Gov. Joe
Manchin, it was suggested
by the governor that the
nurses be allowed to work
for 90 days under the contract terms that expired
Sept. 30. However, ARH
disagreed and said that is
not a viable option.
''We've had no indication from the nurses' union
that there was a real interest
in working under the old
contract, and we already
have registered nurses in
the hospitals working under
the new contract terms,"
said ARH President and

failed to attend any of the
negotiation discussions.
"We believe the new contract is a better contract

Fletcher says he stands by blanket pardon
by JOE BIESK
ASSOCIATFD PRr=SS
FRANKFORT
Pardoning everyone in his
administration dming the
height of an im·cstigation inro
his administration's htring
prac1ices was "absolutely" the
right thing to do, Gov. Ernie
Fletcher said Wednesday.
The investigation was
"de~troying lives" and he
c;tands by the August 2005
blanket pardon. Fletcher said
in a wide-ranging interview
with The Associated Press.
"The power or the governor
to pardon is a very important
part or jusuce, anu T saw a
great injustice in the way these
people were being treated, and
thars why 1 did that," Fletcher
said. "I take it very seriously. I
don't blink at all at that.''
Attorney General Greg
Stumbo's oiTice led the in vestlgation mto allegations the
Fletcher administration had
violated state Jaw by systematically giving protected state
jobs to poJltical supporters.
The investigation dragged on
for nearly two years and
bet:<:une a t:entral issue in
Fletcher's re-election cam-
paign, which ended in defeat
last month to Democrat Steve
Beshear.
Fletcher, who became
Kentucky's first Republican
governor in more than 30
years when he was elected in
2003. leaves oiTic'e next
month.
On Aug. 29, 2005. in front
of a Capitol Rotunda packed
wtth dozens of chccnng
Fletcher ~upporters. the governor granted a blanket pardon
to everyone other than him
who had been or could be
charged in the investigation. In
remark<; broadcast across the
state, Fletcher likened man) of
the charges in the indictments
to minor fishing violations.
Fletcher was later indicted
on misdemeanor charges in the
case, which were subsequently
dropped in a deal with prosecutors.
Eventually, fletcher said,
he hopes the public looks back
on the pardon as having been
the light thing to do.
Fletcher has maintained
that the investigation was
politically
motivated
by
Stumbo's aspirations to seck
higher office. Stumbo, who
has repeatedly stood by the

governor was indicted and
decided not to be his running

disagreed with Fletcher's decision to issue the pardon .
"My words and my actions
concerning the pardons and
how 1 felt about the pardons
were clear, consistent and
made very early," Pence said
in a telephone interview
Wednesday. "But the campaign's over."

Meanwhile. Fletcher said
he's considering additional
pardons, Fletcher said he has
people reviewing the pardon
requests that have flooded his
office, and he's planning on

he leaves office on Dec. 11.
"lt's an important role of

Editorial roundup
The Ann Arbor (Mich.) Ne1<.:s, on holiday shopping:
There's just no olhcr way to put it. Shopping habits in America
arc odd.
The day after Thanksgiving, especially, has become a remarkable
exercise in consumer culture. Coming on the heels of Michigan· s
deer season opening day, Black Friday is similarly all about the hunt.
We have our pre-hunt rituals coupon clipping, store route mapping,
day-before-Thanksgiving recon trips. We dress for the outing in
comfortable shoes, layered clothing and weather-appropriate gear.
We try to outsmart competing shoppers as we track the elusive
Nintendo Wii ....
This shop-til-you-drop culture has spawned some equally odd
backlash, like the self-styled "performance activist" Bill Talen,
whose character Rev. Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping is featured in the documentary ·'What Would Jesus Buy?" And today is
Buy Nothing Day, when activists urge people to spend these 24
hours not spending.
Ah. America.
Less extreme hut arguably more powerful are efforts across the
country to support local merchants and businesses. and to take a

The Bujj'alo (N.Y.) News. on stem cells:
... The good news is that two groups of scientists have found a
means of turning normal human skin cells into the medicinal gold
mine of stem cells, and they did so apparently following the 14th
century philosopher William or Occam·s rule of the simplest path
being the hesL
But that doesn't necessarily mean that the new method will t1nal1y
prove to be as effective as the more elaborate embryo manipulatwn
method that has been getting all the attention, not all of it positive. ...
What we don't yet know is whether the scientists have, by removing the touchy questions of cloning and embryos from the equation,
wrestled this matter back into their realm, away from the politicians,
the pundits and the push polls.
If they have, wonderful. If they haven't, then stem cell research
will remain a difficult question that politicians shouldn't be allowed
to duck.
Joumal Star, Peoria, Ill.. on remembering Mr. Whipple:
For those of a certain generation, Dick Wilson was an icon, one of
the most recognizable faces in all of America. (A 1978 poll put him
hehind only former President Richard Nixon and televangelist Billy
Graham.)
He sold toilet paper.
Lots of it. ...
Wilson, who portrayed Mr. Whipple for Procter & Gamble from
1964 to 1985 - plus an encore in 1999 - passed away !his week in
California. He was 91. You could say he lived a full and cushy life.
Oh. we're not making light of Wilson's passing, just paying
homage lo someone who~e like we may never see again. Indeed, Mr.
Whipple. a closet squeezer himseu· - irresistible even to the scold,
that was the whole selling point - was not only synonymous with
his product, but American~ actually knew what that product was.
That's quite unlike many of today's ads. Even if they arc memorable,
even if they arc funny, often you' re not entirely certain what product
is being pitched, our apologies to GEICO's cavemen. (GEICO is a
car insurance company. Of course.) ...
Suffice it to say, Wilson took something and coaxed it to, its
fullest potential. How many of us can say that? And he is revered
among Baby Boomers, as he was part of the fabric of their childhoods. May he rest in peace, on a cloud as soft as a 12-pack of
Charmin tissue.

In the name
of privacy
Recently,
I
watched
the
Democratic presidential debates televised by CNN from the great state of
Nevada. During the debale, a middleage lady in the audience asked the
candidates about their view on
appointing Supreme Court justices
and if they felt that it is important for
an appointee to understand Roc v.
Wade and the protection of a
woman's right to privacy. ln other
words, the lady wanted to know if the
candidates would be willing to
appoint pro-choice judges to the
Supreme Court, which would support
a woman's right to have an abortion.
Each candidate responded dillerenlly, but they all seemed to agree lhat
they would only support justices that
would prolect a woman's constitutional 1ight to privacy. This simply
served as a less direct way of saying
"yes" to a woman's right to have an
abortion.
I was appalled by each candidate's
response. I was amazed at their blatant unconcern for human life! How
could each of these would-be presidents mix words and auempt to
shroud such a heinous and inhumane
act behind a curtain of constitutional
interprctatjon and deem it a "private"'
act? If that were the case, then couldn't we "privately" kill our family
members or a neighbor and plead the
same immunity? Would nol our decision to take someone else's life be
con">idered a "private" and "per!.onal" decision protected by this same
loose interpretation of wnstitutional
privacy?
Oh, forgive me . .. I forgot.
According to pro-abortion and prochoice supporters, we cannot accurately determine when life begins. Tn
fact, these same individuals would
have us to believe that life does not
begin until a baby exits the birth
canal and c,nes for the entire world to
hear. To these people, life seems to
begin with the senses. That is to say.
when they can see it, touch it and
hear it, only then is life worthy
enough to be protected.
Well, the American Heritage
Dictionary defines life as the quality
of living and a livmg enlity is characterized by specific traits. Among
them being the ability to grow,
respond ro stimuli with movement
and expression. and, or course, the
crucial characteristic of reproduction
(which the gay community has decided is not essential to life. but that's
another issue for another conunentary).
Pardon me, but I think that any
reasonable student of biology must
agree that a fetus grows in the womb,
and it is able to respond lo various
stimuli. and can feel pain jus! like
you and me. After birth and with further development, this living being
can even reproduce, if conditions arc
right. It's evident then that a human
fetus "lives" up to the accepted definition of life. Therefore, anyone with
common sense (which isn' t too common) should dearly see that life does
NOT begin after birth. Instead, it
begins upon fertilization, at which
Lime development (that is growth)
immediately begins.
Of course, some defend abortion
only in cases of rape and incest, but,
I ask you, why must the unborn baby
become a victim as well? Did that
baby ask to be coiJ.cei ved and then be
brutally killed (or "terminated." as
those who support such a cowardly
act might say)? Doesn ' t the
Constitution state the "right to life"' is
inalienable and, therefore, undeniable? Sure, 1 totally agree that the
woman has been victimized, and,
yes, she will have to face the trauma
of that event for the rest of her life,
but why kill the child? Will that help
her in any way or erase the fact that it
happened? H the woman were to
can-y the child to term, then she could
easily give it up for adoption or allow
famil) members to raise the child. Tn
the womb, the child is helpless. and
unfortunately, unwanted, but by no
means docs that give a woman the
right to "privately'" kill an unborn
baby.
Some may also attempt to justify
abortion in inst.ances ~vhen giving
birth may threaten a potential mother 's life. Again, this is a highly speculative argument. First of all, this situation, like rape and incest, occurs
marginally in the general population
of women. so these unfortunate situations do not happen very often. Yet,
supporters of abortion would have us
to believe that for these reasons
alone, abortion should be justifiable.
Tn such a situation, it's extremely
important to remember that the
physician, making such a prediction,
is basing it on probability and statistical chances. He or she cannot, no
matter how many degrees are on the
office wall, assure the potential
mother that giving birth will definitely kill her. In my view, there's a
greater power that knows what the
outcome will be, and i r T were a
woman in that situation. I would be
talking to Him.
Some people like to refer to the
topic of abortion as a debate, but T
think that our society is spiritually
and ethically sick for even considering debatable such a horrible act of
evil. I know that many may call me
closed-minded and laugh at me for
not allowing the misinterpretation of
the Constitution to shape my morals
and convictions, hut l believe in a
higher and grealer constitution, one
written to govern the human mind
and soul. This constitutiOn 1s written
in our spiritual mind, in our heart and
in the Holy Bible, and it serves as our
moral compass. Some call it a conscience and trY to ignore it, While
others recognize it as God's will and
respect its guidance.

Writers strike itl '88 begat 'Cops'; this time,

by LYNN ELBER
AP TELEVISION WRITER
LOS ANGELES - For

and falled to sell a cinema

police officers on patrol. Then
came the 1988 Hollywood
writers strike.
"That's wben Fox bought

recalled Langley, who just

could help her split the bills
because her ramily wouldn't
have anything to do with her."
Act:ording to the AP, police
believe the ahu~c began in July
and that Billy Crawford and his
wife, Penny Font, 30, were
also involve~ in the beatings.
All four were arrested and
chargeu with first-degree criminal abuse and first-degree
unlawful imprisonment and are
lodged in the Kentucky River
Regional Jail on a $100,000
bond. All four will face a Pcny
County grand jury when it
meets in December.
In an interview from jail,
Charlotle Crawford and Foru
said that the charges against
them were "a load of crock."
"1 didn't live in the place
where that woman was
rcmo\'cd from and they got me
charged with the san1e tiling as
everybody else, even though
she did not 1ive in my home
and T didn't live where she was
at," Ford said.
Crawrord said that she wasn·r caring for Hicks like police
said because Hick<; was capable or doing everything hersel r.
Crawford also said that Hicks
wasn't tied down and she was
not in a closet. She had been to
get her pain medication, to the
post office to get her check.
and to Magic Mart, Crawford
went on to say. ·
"'She would hop in that car
every time we left. I'm not
worried about it 'cause I Jidn'l
beat her," Crawford said.
Ford said that Hicks had
bruises, but she didn"t know
who did it because she didn't
sec it.
"Me and my husband were
not in that house. She [Hicks]
nune anu stayed with me fur a
few days. She told me she was
depressed and that she was
tired of Charloue being mean
to her and cussing her all the
time," Ford said.
"1 will tell you the truth,"
Ford continued as she raised
her voice. "That woman was
kept there because of the pills
she got every month. She had a
lawsuit pending and that's why
she was kept there."
"Penny got all the pills,"
Crawford replied. ''I'll take a
lie detector test. They got her
pills every month:'
Ford said that she didn't
believe Hicks was unlawfuHy
imprisoned "because she
could've went out any door in
that house and left. But honestly, I believe she was afraid to."
Crawford's son, Billy
Crawford denied having any
role in t.he situation.
He said, "1 played no role in
this. I think the people who
done this ought to come forward and admit to it so me and
my wife could be let out or jail.
He also said that he never
saw or heard anything coming
from a closet when he would
go to visit his mother.
"Every time 1 was up there
they were doing laundry or
cleaning
house,"
Billy
Crawford said.
Billy Williams refused an
interview, but has also reportedly denied involvement in the
alleged beatings.

Green bean
casserole redo

T can't stand canned soups
being used as an ingredient in
casseroles-it's a major pet peeve

Question: Recently my family got
into a discussion about organ donation. We discovered tltat 11.:e IUld more
que.~tions than answer.~. We all realize that this is an important "gift"
and annvering some ll our questions
can h<'lp us make this decision. What
organs can be donated? If l sign my
organ donor card, will I still f{et full
trearment if l am ill and go to rhe
emergency room? Can living people
donate organs? Who pays the donor's
medical hills?
Answer: Thank you for these
questions. Organ donation truly is the
''gift of life'' for many people. but
unfortunately for some. it's a girt that
never arrives. This is because the
demand is outstripping the supply.
The website OrganDonor.gov rcportc;
daily statistics on organ donation in
the United States. As 1 write this column, there are 98,185 people waiting
for transplants. At the same time
there have only been 19,249 transplanL<; in 2007 from 9,759 donors
(some donors make multiple organ
girts). The stark reality of these figures means that every day 77 people
receive organ transplants, but 18 die
waiting for organs. So you sec, we do
have a big problem.
Many organs can he donated.
These include the kidneys, heart,
lungs, liver, pancreas, intestines,
corneas, skin, bone and bone marrow.

Doii't wait for crisis,
discuss organ donation now
Bone marrow, a single kidney and
part of the liver can be donated by
living donors. Most orgun donation,
however, is from people who have
died. Generally the health insurance
for the person receiving the• transplanted organ pays the costs of organ
donation and transplant.
It is good that your family is having this discussion while everyone is
healthy. lf you wait until a family
member i8 close !o death to think
about organ donation, your gticf may
make this decision much more difticult, if not impossible. 1f you decide
to become an organ donor, you
should let your family members
know, preferably in writing, and sign
an organ donor card.
Ethnic minorities, particularly
African Americans, historically have
had a higher need for transplanted
organs than the rate of organ donation, For Aftican Americans the
shortage is primarily in the area of
kidney tran!'iplants. The prohlem is
oxaccrbatcd by the fact that while
African Americans ~uffer disproportionately from kidney disorders. they
tend to donate at lower rates than the
general population.
The good news is that in recent
years the rate of organ donation
among African Americans has been
on the rise, due in large part to successful educational efforts. l t's
important that thi~ trend continue
because race can play a role in finding genetically matched organs that
allow a successful transplant.
As for the level ot care received
by an organ donor, unless there's a
living will or health-care power of
at!orney that sLates otherwise, the
patient will continue to receive full
treatment as long as it is medically
bencfi<;ial. Only after it has been
determined that further medical treat
mcnt is futile, will organ donation he
discussed. ·

well-child exams (age: birth to 18
years).

who is sick and your spouse IS in
charge. Barking out orders when you
feel bad doesn't come across well. So
if it is written .down and you have
everything on hand, there is no panic.
Now, what food do you keep on
hand? My pediatrician always told us
to only feed the baby dear soups and
diluted juices. This means no noodles. One food that my granny used to
fix for us was a very simple potato
soup .. Take a potato and grate it in a
saucepan. add water to cover over i! a
little and a bit of salt and cook until it
is done; only a few sb,ort minutes.
Remember, don't feed your family
grape juice or red cranberry juice;
that makes an even bigger mess to
clean up. There are white versions of
both of these. Dry toast, crackers and
plenty of TLC ahd you will be back to
normal in a few hours.· Put some or
these things in your beach bag.
Usc your internet to read up on
and print out the signs of dehydration.
Keep this in your Control Journal.
The one sign I know off the top of my
head is about the skin on top of your
hand. If you pinch it, it will stay
pinched up if you arc dehydrated.
Keep your doctors phone number in
your Control Journal, too. As their li ttle throats get raw, try to get your
babies to drink some cool water:
maybe with just one ice cube in it
just before they throw up. The cool
water actually feels good ro the back
or the throat, especially if they have
nothing else in their tummy hut hot
stomach acid. This trick works for
morning sickness, too. 1 am not a
doctor or a nurse, but we all have to
play these roles when sickness hits
our families. Talk to your doctor
about medications, set up an emergency sheet for your Control Journal
that tells anyone what to do and then
just stay calm and watch for signs of
dehydration . Don't rorge! !o place
your doctor's phone numbers on this
sheet, also. And, wash your hands
often!
When the stomach flu is raging in
your home, those old towels become
a valuable asset. As you upgrade your
regular towels. keep a re,\ or the old
ones for rimes like this. An old beach
lowe! make. a great cover for that air
mattress and another one will make a
blanket to cover up with. It is never
fun when you m·c dealing with the
whole family in sick mode, but you
can get through it, with a liule thinking about this right now. The beach
sand bucket can catch those accidents
when your baby can't make it to the
bathroom. Then you can use the little
sand shovel to scoop up the misfires.
What a day at the beach!

THE CASSEROLE ITSELF:
2 pounds frozen skinny

4 tablespoons butter, divided in half (always use unsalted
butter!)
1 splash of vegetable oil (I
used safflower)
1 pound wild mushrooms,
sliced (use whatever you can
find at the grocery store)
3 cloves garlic, pressed
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons Italian blend

To make the topping, blend
the onions and cheese together
in a small bowl; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl,
place the green beans. If you
are using frozen be_a ns,just put
them in frozen. If you arc
using fresh, make sure you
have steamed them to a tender
crisp doneness and cooled
them a bit: then put them in the
bowl.
In a large skillet over a
medium high heat, add the butter and touch of oil (the oil
keeps the butter from burning).
Add the mushrooms, garlic.
salt and pepper and cook till
done-it'll
take about 5 minutes. Turn
mushrooms are
down the hel\t if necessary Mel
keep the mu~hrooms moving
periodically. Remove the
mushrooms from the heat and
set aside.
Now add the remaining butter to the pan and add the broth
and wine, bringing it to a simmer. rn the meantime, toss the
cheese with lhe flour. Add this
cheese mixture to the simmering broth, whisking together
till well blended. As the sauce
starts to thicken, slowly add
the cream, whisking all the
while. Allow to simmer about
l 0 minutes on low. Be careful-too hard a boil and the
sauce will separate.
Now throw the sauce over
the green beans and toss
together to blend. Place the
sauced up beans in a 9 x 13
baking dish, sprinkle with your
topping on top and place in the
middle of your preheated
oven, cooking for about 15

OF THE WEEK
It makes it no less sad. Here was another
former Miami Hunicanc who had trouble in
several aspects of his life, but from a.ll accounts
was trying lo put it behind him. Too bad life
ended before he could truly triumph over all of
his · vices.
- So how's the job market out there. Mr.
Null?
-Anybody else think North Carolina was
trembling in their Nikes after Kentucky's, um,
"peliormancc'· against Stony Brook?
- For those interested, since ripping
Kentucky on Nov. 7 , Gardner Webb has beaten
former Mid-South Conference team North
Greenville, lost to UConn twice, lost to
Oklahoma, hcatcn Radford, lost at Clemson
and knocked off High Point.
Former Pikeville College Coach Rick
Scruggs has the Bulldogs at 5-4 right now. And
Billy Gillispie just developed another
aneurism.
-For those interested -and you know who
you are- ESPN's Joe Lunardi has Kentucky
seeded I lth in the East Regional in his recent
Bracketology. And Gardner Webb, for the
record, is not in the field or 65.
TI1at was, it should he pointed out, the day
before the Cats convincingly ran through Stony
Brook on Tuesday, so you have to figure they'll
move up considembly after that.
- r know the world has seen a lot of terri l'ic
speeches through the years. but I'll take Jimmy
V's "Don'L give up, don ' t ever give up". any

Kentucky rebounds after sluggish start for win over Stony Brook

B engals expecting sloppy day at Pitts burgh's Heinz Field
by JOE KAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCLNNATl
T.J.
Houshmand/adeh diu a double-take
when asked Wednesday if he
expe~..:ls better field conditions at
Heinz F ield this weekend.
"I would hope ifs not the same."
the Ciucinnati Bengals receiver said
emphatically...If it's the same, it's
terrible. T can ' t imagine the field
being the same way as it was
Monday.··
The footing was about as bad as
it gets during the Pittsburgh
Steclcrs' 3-0 victory over Miami on
Monday night, when heavy rain
turned a new field or sod into a
witches' brew of divots and muck..
Many or the Bengals (4-7)
watched on television, knowing
that they're headed Cor Pillsburgh
and that same field on Sunday
night. The sight of players slipping
and sliding around made them
wince.
"Tt definitely looks like a lot
more fun when you're watching on
TV, especially when it's raining and
cold outside," said running hack
Rudi Johnson, wh has reason ror
concern because he 's coming off a
hamstring injury. "At the same
time, it's fun. It's kind of one of
those old-school (games), hack in
the days when you were a kid run
ning around playing in the mud.''
The Sleelers (8-3) won it on Jeff
Reed's 24-yard lleld goal with 17
seconds left, then called the conditions horrendous. New sod was laid
atop the old less than 24 hours
before the kickoff, and a downpour
turned it into a 100-yard expanse of
swampland.
"That's the way rootball was
played a long time ago," Bengals
kicker Shayne Graham said.
The Bcngals have history of
their own with horrible fields. ·
They couldn't keep the grass
from coming apart when Paul
Brown Stadium opened in 2000.
The field came up in clumps, leaving players sliding around in the
sandy hase. In 2002, San Diego's
Rodney Harrison called it the
"worst field l'vc ever played on in
my life."
The Bengals finally gave up
after four years of trying different
types of grass, finally installing
artificial turf. They still practice on
grass fields adjacent to the stadium,
ones that have some of the same
problems.
For once, it might be useful.
"The field that we practice on
every day is as slippery," quarter
back Carson Palmer said. "The turf
comes ·Up JUSt as bad on our grass
11eld as it does anywhere I've ever
played, so we're used to it."
Left tackle Levi Jones agreed
that what he saw on television
Monday night was comparable to
what he sees in Cincinnati every
day.
"We gel that look every day oul
here on our practice field," Jones
said. "Some days it can be (jusl as
bad). And we all remember how
this stadium used to be berore il
went to FieldTurf.''
Given their troubles with grass
field, the Ben gals arcn 't in position
to complain about anyone else's
woes. Coach Marvin Lewis tried to
cut off discussion of the subject on
Wednesday, hoping it doesn't
become a dist.J·action to his players.
''Guys just have to be conscious
of it," Lewis said. "We spoke about
it. I don't want it to be the overriding factor. Both teams arc going to
play on the same 100 yards. and we
jusl have to respond 10 that and go."
The Bengals need a victory to
preserve their slim chance of a winning record. A loss would guarantee
their 16th season without a winning
record since 1991. They've gone 8
8 three times in Lewis' four previous sea<;ons running the team.
Cincinnati finaJly emerged from
its offensive rut last Sunday with a
35-6 victory over Tennessee. Chad
Johnson caught three touchdown
passes from Palmer, the first time
the Pro Bowl receiver had reached
the end zone since the second week
of the season.
If the field is bad in Pittsburgh,
more or the load will fall on Rudi
Johnson and the running game.
"He'll probably love the conditions," Steelcrs linebacker James
Farrior said in a conference call,
after estimating he slipped and fell
20 times on Monda) night. "They
won'l be able to pass as much as
they do."

Bengals starting· to put it a II together
by JOE KAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI
Rudi
Johnson had purpose in his
stride. Carson Palmer was on
target with nearly everything
he threw. Chad Johnson got in
the end zone and somehow
avoided getting into the
coach'<: doghouse.
Now that their playoff
chances have evaporated, the
Cincinnati Bengals have started putting it all together.
They played by far their
best gmne of the season on
Sunday, a 35-6 victory over a
Tennessee Titans team that
had a lot at stake. Everything
worked as well as it could in
front of 65,489 fans who
enjoyed the moment but knew
it didn't mean much.
"We played a complete
game,"
receiver
T.J.
Houshmandzadeh said. ·'Tt's
the first time in a long time
that we played a complete
game. This is how we normally play. Too bad for us it hasn' t come enough."
At 4 7, the Bengals have
given up hopes of making the
playoffs. A strong December
run could get the record back
to break-even, the place
they've flllisbed m three of
coach Marvin Lewis' rour seasons.
\\'hy play so well now?
Part of it was the opponent.
Tennessee (6-5) was missing
run-stopping defensive tackle
Albert Haynesworth, out for
the third straight game with a
hamst.Jing injury. The Titans
have lost all three and allowed
opponents to nm for more
than 140 yards in all three.
That was the biggest
change in the Bengals. With
the offensive line in nux
because of injuries and run
ning back Rudi Johnson either
sidelined or limited by a
pulled hamstring. Cincinnati
had topped lOO yards on the
ground only twice all season.
The Bengal. had their second-best day on Sunday, picking up 148 yards on 36 carries
for a pleasmg 4.1-yard aver
age. Rudi Johnson ran a season-high 25 times for 88 yards
and his first touchdown or the
season, DcDe Dorsey had 42
yards on ftve carnes, and
Kenny Wat<>on ran four times
for 17 yards.
The three-back approach is
a product of Johnson's hamstring inJury.
'Tm not all the .way back
yet," Johnson said. "We've
got to take my progression
and my comeback wtth caution."
Lewis could sec a difference in Johnson, who was better able ro break through the
first attempt at tackle.
"You feel good, until you
have a 300-pound guy
strapped to your back," Lewis
said Monday. "T thought this
week, his runs were more
Rudi-like, the way he was linishing runs more than anything else. That was good 10
sec. It gives him more confidence in things."
The ground game finally
got moving a week after right
tackle Willie Anderson suggested the Bengals need to
regain their hard edge and get
back to running the ball with
authority. If felt a little bit like
old times.
'This is what we're used
to," Johnson said. "lt felt
good, man."
A week after Palmer threw
a career-high four interceptions in a loss to Arizona, he
had his most accurate game as
a pro. Palmer was 32-of-38 lor
2&3 yards with three touchdowns to Chad Johnson and
one deflected interception.
He played as though he felt
he had something to prove.
"Last week was a mirage of
how
Carson
plays,"
Houshmandzadch said.
Even Chad Johnson had
something to celebrate: His
first touchdown smcc the second week or the season, three
touchdowns in all. He went
behind an on-field television
camera to celebrate the first
touchdown, drawing a 15-yard
penally that Lewis overlooked
for once.
"It's important for him to
keep his rocus," Lewis said.
·'It would be good to see him
finish the. season strong and
sec how he can outdo what he
did in the first part."
Even the defense looked
good for much of the game,
taking advantage of quarterback Vince Young's off target
day. Tt was the type of game
the Bengals have been miss
ing all season long.
"We know where it's
been," defensive captain John
Thornton said. "lt's been in
us. We just had to get it out.''
Bengals RB Chris P-erry
will stay on injured list rest
of season: Running back
Chris Perry will miss the rest

Cincinnati Bengals decided
Wednesday not to activate him
off the physically unable to
perform list.
Pe~y has been sidelined
since he broke his lower nghl
leg last Nov. 26 against
Cleveland. He resumed practicing with the team three
weeks ago, but hasn't fully
recovered.
"If they needed me to play
this year, I would have been
more than happy to," Perry
said Wednesday. "But honestly, having this time to get into
game shape is a great opportunity. So I'm nol really disappointed. I'm just taking it in
Cordero, Reds finalize $46M deal
by DAN SEWELL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI - Francisco
Cordero is getting a lot of
money to fix the problem that
cost the Cincinnati Reds a
bunch of games.
The NL'~ worst bullpen got
a new closer Wednesday when
Cordero and the Reds finali/ed
a $46 mi1lion, four-year contract.
Cordero's agreement is the
largest for a Reds reliever. But
general
manager Wayne
Krivsky said once Cincinnati
found il was competitive with
offer from other teams, the
Reds pushed hard.
"We're this close. Let's go
for it," he said. "This is a key
guy. He's going to make our
whole pitching staff better."
Krivsky said•the late-inning
bullpen woes hmt more than
just on the scoreboard.
'That's demoralizing on a
club." Krivsky !>aid. "The
Cincinnati Reds got a lot better
with
bringing
Francisco
Cordero in here."
The 32-year-old right-hander wa<> second in the NL with
44 saves and a 2.98 ERA last
season for Milwaukee. The
All-Star joins a bullpen that
had 34 saves and a leagueworst 5.13 ERA.
David Weathers, who had
33 saves this year. 'will return
to a setup role. The Reds also
have Jared Bunon, who had a
2.51 ERA in 47 games while
emerging as a late-inning
pitcher in the second half of
his rookie season.
Cordero said he was
impressed by the Reds'
aggressiveness.
"They really want me lobe
here," he said. "They showed a
lot or interest"
He said new manager
Dusty Baker called him twice
dming the negotiations.
"That showed me that
they're not going lo rebuild the
team, they're going to try to
put together a winning team, a
team that's going to try to go
nol only to the playoffs, but
the World Series," Cordero
said.
· The Brewers fell just short
of the playoffs last season; getting overtaken by the Chicago
Gubs by two games in the NL
Central while the Reds (72-90)
finished fifth, l3 games out of
first.
Cordero put on a Reds jersey with the No. 48 al a news
conference; Krivsky smiled
and said that's for the number
of saves he'll have next season. Kri vsky said the Reds are
still looking to improve their
pitching staff heading into
next week's winter meetings.
Cordero
recci ves
a
$500,000
signing
bonus
payable by the end of this year,
$8.5 million next year and $12
million in each of the following three seasons. Cincinnati
has a $12 mill ion option for
2012 with a $1 miliion buyout.
Cordero has a full no-trade
provision during the first two
seasons of Lhe contract and a
limited no-trade for the
remainder or the agreement.
He struck out 86 in 63 1-3
innings and had an 0-4 record
last year. In 2006, he was 3-1
with 16 saves and a 1.69 ERA
for
Milwaukee,
which
obtained him in late July in a
six-player trade that sent outfielder Carlos Lee to Texas.
A
two-time
All-Star,
Cordero has 177 saves over
nine seasons, including a
career high of 49 for Texas in
2004.
Cordero began this season
by converting 22 straight saves
chances and finished with
seven blown saves in 51
opportunities. Baiters hit .218
against" him.
Cincinnati designated outfielder Buck Coal<; for assignment to make room on their
40-man roster.

next year.
"Honestly, I guess everybody feels this is the best decision."
Perry was the 26th overall
selection in the 2004 draft out
of Michigan but has been
hampered for most of his
career by injuries. He missed
most of his rookie season with
a hamstring injury and a hernia. Perry played in 14 games
in 2005, then broke his leg just
above the ankle last year.
Coach Marvin Lewis said
Peny isn't all the way back
from the injury.
"The whole goal ts you
don't want to put a player out
there on the field that you
don't fey! is going to he able
to do things day-in and dayout like an NFL player."
Lewis said. "Chris has worked
hard. With where we are in the
season, and where he is physically - he's very close maybe if you had the luxury
of doing that, you would. But
you don't want to put Chris in
that situation."
Perry will have to emerge
from a crowd of running
backs to have a role next season. The Bengals are currently
using Rudi Johnson, DcDc
Dorsey and Kenny Watson at
the spot, and second-round
draft pick Kenny Irons is
rccoveri ng from reconstructive knee surgery.

Physical altercations are
strictly prohibited in Floyd
County schools, but fights
among students do sometimes break out and, in
some cases, some students
are victimS' of unprovoked
attacks.
In the past, students who
fought back, even though
they themselves did not
strike first, were subject to
the same
disciplinary
actions as the student who
initiated the altercation.

Entering into its ninth year,
the Shop With a Cop program will take place on
Dec. 15 at the Mountain
Arts Center, and is designed
to bring a little Christmas to
those in need.
While the program
began nine years ago with
only 10 kids and $1,000, it
now now hosts 18 children
and $10,000.
Having been with the
program since its inception,
current director Steve Little
explained its purpose: "You
look at these kids. They
cheer, according to Brent
Graden, city economic director,
and will have holiday music,
hot apple cider and cookies at
many of the locations.

organization and business to

New commissioner to carry on reform efforts
by JOE BIESK
ASSOCIATED PRE:;;s
FRANKFORT - Kentucky's new
education commissioner, unlike predecessors who were chasing distant
goals, will face the looming task of
leading the state closer toward completing its education reform movement
started nearly 20 years ago.
The Kentucky Education Reform
Act, which the General Assembly
passed in 1990, called for sweeping
changes and accountability within the
state's system of educating its youngsters. Its goal of having all Kentucky
students reach the level of proficiency
is targeted for 2014.
To reach those goals, the next commissioner needs to help re-energize an
education system that still has many
schools consistently lagging behind,
Bob Sexton, executive director of the
Prichard Committee.
"The biggest one (duty) is kind of
energizing the movement that we've
had here for many years, giving it a big
boost of forward motion- particularly aimed at reaching the goals that have
been established for 20 14," Sexton
said. "The commissioner will be challenged to find ways to help move for-
&vthj Mcvtning
ward the schools that are chronically
not moving forward - the ones that
are not making progress that will get
them to or very close to their goal."
The Kentucky Board of Education
named state Rep. Jon Draud (REdgewood) as the new commissioner
on Sunday,
Kentucky, a state that has been
known nationally for its school reform
efforts, has been without a commissioner since Gene Wilhoit left last year
for a job with an education organization in Washington. Wilhoit's departure
sparked a year of upheaval.

The mission of the Environmental Protection Agency, as
agency says on its own Web site, could hardly be more
· "To protect human health and the environment."
an extensive Milwaukee Journal Sentinel investigahas revealed an inexcusable l.1pse by that agency when
v.-:'"""""'·.'"'" to the safety of chemical ;; known as endocrine distors, commonly used in products ubiquitous in today's
ciety. They're in everything from baby bottles and
thing rings to dental sealants, nail polish, clothing, carting and some foods.
: Although a growing number of scientists have come to
•lieve that the chemicals pose significant dangers, espelly to fetuses and young children because they interfere
th the way hormones work inside the body, the EPA has
led to regulate the chemicals despite promises stretching
ck over a decade to do just that. And while the EPA has
en seemingly stuck in neutral on this critical matter of
biic safety, hundreds of products that use "those same
emicals have been banned by countries around the world.
t only are the products still available in the United
$tates, but they don't even contain warning labels.
• Hundreds of studies examined by reporters Susanne
~st, Meg Kissinger and Cary Spivak show that these
' emicals have caused myriad problems in lab animals,
i!acluding cancers of the breast, brain and testicles; mi~car
&ges and other reproductive defects; lowered sperm
• unts; diabetes; hyperactivity and asthma. Equally trou• ·ng, all of these problems have spiked in the decades in
~ich these chemicals have been in the marketplace.
• The companies that make the chemicals steadfastly maintain that they are safe, pointing to the millions of dollars
they have spent on their own research. But when it comes
to public safety, industries shouldn't police themselves.
That's a job for regulators. Despite congressional mandates
in 1996 to screen the chemicals, ambitious public pledges
to fast-track this obviously important work and tens of mil.:
lions of dollars spent, not a single screen has been done, the
Journal Sentinel found.
Some disillusioned scientists say the effort lacked sufficient political muscle. Others blame bureaucracy and undue
influence from the chemical industry. The bottom line was
the EPA dropped the ball, and it's time for Congress to step
in again and make sure the agency picks it up.

Trails a
community asset
This past Thursday, I had the privilege of attending a public meeting at
the Paintsville Recreation Center
regarding the proposed Dawkins Rails
to Trails project. I would like to thank
the Big Sandy Area Development
District for their presentation and for
the opportunity to allow members of
our community to speak out in favor
of this project.
The proposed trail would be 36
miles in length and wind through
Johnson, Magoffin and Breathitt
counties on a rail banked section
owned by R.J. Corman. The trail
would be non-motorized and open
only to walkers/hikers, cyclists, runners and horseback riders.
I listened attentively as several
property owners adjacent to or near
the railway expressed concerns about
the trail - crime, privacy issues, disorder, noise, trespassing, illegal use of
motorized vehicles, etc. I would like
to invite individuals opposed to the
project to not just take the presenters
at their word regarding the benefits of
this trail. Do some research. This is a
wonderful opportunity for our community. Study after study on similar
projects around the country support
the presenters in key points, including
the potential for economic development, tourism, improved quality of
life in terms of health and physical fitness, multiple environmental benefits,
and preservation of the railway corridor and historically valuable areas.
There is no evidence that similar
Rails to Trails projects present any
danger, increase crime, or cause any
physical or economic harm whatsoever. Trails are not attractive to criminal
activity - they are frequented by
families, nature lovers, bird watchers,
and people devoted to improving their
health and well-being.
Neru;.ly every Rail to Trail project
that has been completed has faced
serious opposition in the planning
stages, by property owners voicing
concerns si.milar to the ones listed
above. Agrun, research shows that
once the trail is established, former
protesters utilize the trail on a regular
basis - and in several cases, they
remove fencing or fabricate a gate to
allow them easier access to the trail
system.
Throughout the country, trails are
seen as an incredible community asset
that can boost property values, make
adjacent properties easier to sell, and
attract visitors from near and far visitors who stay in local hotels, eat at
local restaurants and support businesses related to travel, equipment,
clothing, convenience foods and souvenirs.
Delving into the data, evidence,
research, and studies that have been
completed and basing our opinions on
facts could allow us, as a community,
to embrace this opportunity, see it
through to completion, and reap the
many benefits that will undoubtedly
follow.

'The Imposition'
What kind of nation are we becoming when corporations are allowed to
charge us out the wazoo on gas prices,
i
thus driving us even poorer, and we
are not allowed to ~moke in publicri
Or hug in public? Oti, yes, schools arfl
getting ludicrous in not letting chi~
dren hug in public. Somebody is saq
and needs a consoling hug by
friend? Better sneaj:<. off to the bat!:f

around them there.
~
The ban wagon is just now getting
started. Who knows what will be publiCly outlawed next month, or next
year? Maybe by this time next year
we won't even be able to~o out in
public. We as a ma)ority ot American
citizens are being shoved into the po01
house all the mor~ and now told we
can't do "this" or "that."
Back in the dar~ ages it was called
the Inquisition. We could call this ne

Condition the "Imposition," because
we are being imposed upon.
Anybody out there seen the movie
"Escape from L.A.'' or "The Runnin~

four-hour miniseries called "The Fire

how socjaty eeks out a living in them
Watch how the super-rich aud power·

ourt clerks fall college
i
FRANKFORT - Douglas
t-Iall, circuit court clerk for
floyd County, participated in
tJle 2007 Circuit Clerks Fall
College in Lexington Oct. 24The Administrative Office
t>f the Courts (AOC) hosted the
~allege, which offered sessions
~n how to efficiently handle
Pistnct Court criminal proce~ures and how to better superise personnel.
I "This conference focused
vn an interesting mix of issues
lhat affect how circuit clerks
~arry out their daily operalions," said Nelson County
f:ircuit
Clerk
Diane
fhompson, who is president of
the Kentucky Association of
tircuit Court Clerks. ''Circuit
l6.
clerks must be prepared to
adapt to new technology and
new legislation while overseeing case management and
maintaining staff morale."
The college also offered
sessions on the Judicial Branch
budget request for the 2008
Kentucky General Assembly,
the new centralized jury management service being offered
by the Administrative Office of
the Courts, and new technology and legislative issues that
may affect the Office of Circuit
Court Clerk.
The AOC hosted a banquet
during the conference to honor
the circuit clerks and deputy
clerks who were instrumental
in implementing changes to
Kentucky's new unified court
system, which was formed as a
result of the1976 Judicial
Article. Beginning in 1978, the
Office of Circuit Court Clerk
played a key role in the business operation of the new state
court system.
The Office for Judicial
Branch Education of the
Administrative Office of the
Courts provides training conferences twice each year for
circuit clerks, who are responsible for managing the records
of Kentucky's Circuit and
District courts. The AOC supports the activities of more
than 3,500 Court of Justice
employees, including the elected offices of justices, judges
and circuit court clerks.

I
p.eeded stronger

in
...
administration
The Associated Press
FRANKFORT Gov.
Ernie Fletcher needed better
advice from within his adminIstration to avoid the missteps
that led to his defeat in the
~ov. 6 election, one official
aid.
• Lt. Gov. Steve Pence said
fletcher, who lost to Democrat
f;teve Beshear, was damaged
by having too many people tell
what he wanted to hear
fnstead of what he needed to
oirn
~ear.
: Pence, a critic of Fletcher's
~andling of a criminal investiption into the administration's hiring practices, chose
imt to run for re-election on
the governor's ticket. In an
interview with the Kentucky
Enquirer earlier this week,
Pence said Fletcher failed to
heed the concerns and criticism he raised.
Fletcher and members of
fus administration were indicted on charges of using political connections to fill jobs.
The governor, against Pence's
ad vice, pardoned the members
o:(.his administration who were
iitdicted. Fletcher later cut a
deal with prosecutors to have
the charges against him
4iopped.
Pence, a former federal
prosecutor who had prosecuted high-profile state government corruption cases, rocked
the Kentucky political landscape in June 2006 when he
announced he would not run
for re-election with Fletcher.
"If people knew what I
knew, and had gone to the
meetings I sat through, seen
the decision-making I sat
through, they would not disagree with what I did," he told
the newspaper.
After Pence refused to be
Fletcher's running mate a second time, Fletcher asked
'
•
Pence to resign as lieutenant
governor. Pence refused.
The governor stripped
Pence of his duties overseeing
the Justice Cabinet, but Pence
said he continued with his
other duties and obligations,
including overseeing homeland security, chairing a task
force working on a location for
a
downtown
arena in
Louisville and working on a
cervical cancer public-awareness campaign.
"I would have liked to have
done more," Pence said. "But
that governor decided to bench
me. That was his call. He has
the ability to do thar. I found
ways to keep busy. It was a
very tough situation, but I
knew it was temporary. I knew
quitting was not the right thing
to do, and I wasn't going to do
that."
Pence, who will become a
partner at the law firm of
Dinsmore and Shohl, said the
gubernatorial election was not
a reflection on the GOP but a
repudiation of Fletcher.
As evidence of his theory,
he points to the re-election of
Republican Secretary of State
Trey Grayson of Boone
County.
'The election was clearly a
referendum on the governor's
performance," Pence said.
"You can' t run on the issue of
bringing change to Frankfort
and then fall into a situation
where it is just business as
usual."
Despite their differences,
Pence said he voted for
Fletcher.
"I supported our party from
top to bottom," he said.

·unprovoked attacks" will no

In other business, the board
received reports from the
superintendent that contact has
been made with the state highway department in regard to
traffic
concerns
at
111 restonsburg
Elementary
School and near Betsy Layne
High School.
"We are still exploring the
possibility of accessing the use
of a county road located
behind
Prestonsburg
Elementary," Supt. Ronald
"Sonny" Fentress said.
Pavement markings, quick
curbs and modified lane restriping along Route 114, near
the school entrance, are also
safety improvements being
considered.
Near Betsy Layne High
School, plans to mark a portion of the roadway leading
from the school as a "right turn
only" onto U.S. 23 was also
approved by the board.
"This is, I think, really the
safest way," said board chair
Jeff Stumbo. Due to a high
volume of traffic in the area,
dates could apply. Beshear, a
Democrat
who
defeated
Fletcher earlier this month ,
thought the state's recent
uncertain political climate may
have discouraged some potential candidates from coming
forward.
Nevertheless, the board
opted to continue its search and
select from a group of four
finalists that included: Draud, a
retired superintendent of the
Ludlow
school
district
Richard Hughes, a retired
Hardin County school superintendent; Larry Vick, the
Owensboro school superintendent; and Jim Warford, a former chancellor of the Florida
Department of Education.
Kentucky . has had three
education commissioners since
the General Assembly passed
the
Kentucky
Education
Reform Act in 1990.
Thomas Boysen was the
first, holding the post from
1991-1995. Wilmer "Bill"
Cody was the second, before
Wilhoit who was the longestserving appointed commissioner.
Kentucky's first three commissioners started their tenures
in the early stages of the
refon:n effort when the target
date for proficiency was still
many years away, Sexton said.
It's possible that Wilhoit's successor could still be commissioner when 2014 finally rolls
around, he said.
KERA came about after a
Kentucky Supreme Court ruling found the state's schools
were inadequate. The General
Assembly
overhauled
Kentucky's school system,
seeking to even out school
funding throughout the state.
It implemented, among
other things, an accountability
system and gave more power
to local education officials.
Melissa Evans-Andris, an
associate professor of sociology at the University of
Louisville, said Kentucky is
still perceived as a one of the
"leaders of the pack" nationally about 17 years after KERA
passed.
The education reform set
Kentucky up for some of the
provisions under the federal
No Child Left Behind Act,
Evans-Andris said. A strong
commissioner is necessary to
be a public advocate for
Kentucky schools and carry
out the board of education's
direction, she said.
'The primary goal for the
new commissioner is to get a
grip on what agenda has
already been established,"
Evans-Andris said.
Results from the Kentucky
Core Content Tests released
last month showed many students sc6red well in reading,
most of the more than 428,000
students scored either "proficient" or "distinguished."
Seventy-two-percent of the
elementary students scored
either proficient or distinguished in reading, while about
21.5 were apprentice and 5.8
were novice. High school students didn't fare as well, as the
percentage of pupils scoring
either proficient or distinguished dropped to 60.1 percent, with 34.9 percent at the
left hand turns are not easily
maneuvered and past requests
for a traffic signal at the site
have been denied.
"I just don't think the highway department will ever
install a traffic light there,''
Stumbo said as he offered his
opinion that a right-turn-only
rule would be the best solution
to the existing problem, an
opinion obviously upheld by
his fellow board members who
voted unanimously, with the
exception of Dr. Chandra Varia
who was absent from the
meeting, to approve the plan.
The board voted to accept
the audit repolt.
In other news, also receiv
ing special recognition from
the board were Osborne
Elementary, Allen Central
Middle School and South
Floyd High School. Each was
recognized for heing named
winners of the Fall Classic
Attendance Awards.
In regard to attendance,
however, Kristina Springer,
director of pupil personnel,
reported at the meeting that
attendance numbers are currently lower than they were at
this same time last year.
Springer attribu ted the lower
numbers, in part. to " media
coverage of staph and MRSA"
during Oc tober. though numbers were also lower during
August and September.
In regard to those famtlies
residing in the Floyd school
district who ha.c decided to
enroll their children in outsi de
distric ts, Supt. Fentress suggested that the board contact
those families to inqu ire why
the decisio n was made to
attend
outside
schools .
Fentress said that gathering
such informatio n from fa milies could be be neficial to the
district in regard to luring s;i*i
students back to Floyd COUJ,Jty
schools.
" Sometimes it's a matter of
what's most convenient," •he
said , "but if it has to do wj\h
the education process, then it
would do well to find mtt
why." rentress said his offJJ.;e
would begJn the process of
contac ting the parents of students who are attending
schools outside the district.

Odds & Ends
•
BOISE, Idaho
Sometimes rescuers need to
be rescued, too.
Candace Jennings was
sleeping on the couch when
1..;. she was nudged awake by her
-,Jdog, Anna, to find her mobile
home engulfed in flames early
Thanksgiving Day. The blond
heeler, an abused stray dog
Jennings had adopted from an
animal shelter, whined and
howled until they ran outside.
"I had an awful headache.
The place was filled with
smoke," she told the Idaho
Statesman for a story published Saturday.
But Jennings said she ran ·
back into her burning home to
save some items.
"I'm a janitor in town," she
said. "I had everyone's keys
in my backpack. I had to go
back and get them."
She crawled back into her
burning home in Idaho City,
about 40 miles northeast of
Boise, with Anna close at her
side.
But Jennings said she
became disoriented and was
nearly overcome by smoke.
She tried to get back out but
crawled in the wrong direction, heading toward the
pantry instead of the door.
Anna showed her the way
~out.
"She pushed on me; she
nudged me out the door,"
Jennings said:
The roof collapsed as
Jennings, barefoot and wearing only pajamas, ran to some
trees in the 15-degree weather. Jennings suffered burns to
her feet and then frostbite.
Anna and two other dogs
Jennings has were not injured.
"She's a hero," said
Jennings, an artist who has
lived in the mountain town
since 1975.
Grant Hawk, owner of the
trailer park, said an electrical
problem might have started
the fire in the mobile home,
which he said is a total loss.
• SOLDIERS GROVE,
Wis. -The Kickapoo River
bridge is a big structure with a
small price tag: one buck.
Village officials fear the
nearly century-old bridge ,
which hasn't hosted traffic in
31 years, will collapse into
the river and want to get rid of
it quickly. Village board
member Vicki Campbell said
they hope high scrap prices
help attract a buyer who may
want to sell the bridge's steel
parts.
''With the steel prices what
they are right now, we
thought this was an opportune
time to sell it," Campbell
said.
They previously tried a
similar offer, she said, but the
buyer backed out.
The overhead truss bridge
was built in 1910 a:nd was a
major connection for 'the community. Over the years, a new
route into Soldiers Grove was
built, and the bridge became a
fishing spot.
In
1976,
the
state
Department of Transportation
recommended closing the
bridge, saying its age and
condition posed a hazard.
Laurel Hestetune, village
president, said he still remembers the rattling sound of the
boards as travelers passed
over· the span.
"Once it' s gone - if it
goes - I'm going to miss it,"
he said.

Baughman.
said. "It's something I don't
think I'll see again."
Merkitch delivered one
other baby during his shift; he
also couldn't recall ever
delivering nine babies during
a similar shift.
• LA CROSSE, Wis. You can excuse Dr. Kenneth
Merkitch if he's seeing double these days.
He's been an obstetriciangynecologist at Gundersen
Lutheran Medical Center for
19 years, but he said he's
never experienced a 24-hour
on-call period like the one he
put in on Friday and Saturday,
when he delivered four sets of
twins.
"I don't think I ever delivered two sets of twins on a
call day," Merkitch said.
"It was hard to believe that
everything was coming in
twos, but after a while you're
up all night, you might as well
keep delivering babies," he
• GREENLAWN, N.Y.Fifteen wild turkeys strutted
into a suburban hamlet on
Thanksgiving Day and then
left just in time to avoid dinner.
The turkeys showed up
Thursday morning, drawing
crowds of spectators, but left
- marching in single file at about 1 p.m.
Suffolk County police
were called because the
turkeys created a traffic hazard while crossing a road. But
the officers didn't have to
intervene because the birds
kept walking - and hadn't
been seen or heard from
since, residents said Friday.
Resident Joyce Logan said
there was no practical joke
involved and the turkeys
could have wandered into the
Long Island neighborhood
about 40 miles east of
Manhattan from a nearby
wooded area, where she had
been hearing gobbles since
summer.
Logan said the birds
walked away in a straight line
between her house and her
neighbor's, and she went back
inside to prepare a storebought turkey dinner for her
family.
Unlike some neighbors,
Logan said, she never had
thoughts of catching one of
the turkeys in her yard and
turning it into dinner.
"I can't eat something that
I've met," she said.

in the northern Californi
town of Klamath.
Jeff LaForest, manager cf
the gift shop where the statu~

weakened the wood inside the

LaForest said he will
repair Babe as soon as possible. In the meantime, he plans
to use a diminutive stuffed
animal head as a placeholder
in time for the town's annual
Christmas light show.
"It's kind of sad isn't it?''
LaForest said.

• FORT LAUDERDALE,
Fla. -The sons of a late harmonica player want to pass
along hundreds of his signature, pocket-size instruments
to troops overseas.
·
Herb Shriner's 53-year-old
twin sons, actors Wiland Kin,
found about 400 vintage harmonicas in their father ' s
warehouse
near
Fort
Lauderdale - Holly wood
International Airport. They
considered donating the
instruments to schools or to
youth groups, but now want
to send them to soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"It beats sending them
tubas," Wil Shriner said.
"They're pretty easy to pick
up and play."
Herb Shriner and his wife
died in a car crash in 1970.
Shriner hosted a radio show,
TV variety show and a game
show.
The harmonicas were
made by the Hohner Co. in
Germany in 1949. Made of
wood and brass, the blues
harps are about 5 inches long

Wildcats left to ponder after latest bout versus Volunteers
,• ,
by WILL GRAVES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON- Steve Johnson thought it
was over.
Watching Kentucky kicker Lones Seiber
line up for a 35-yard field goal attempt in double overtime on Saturday, the Wildcats wide
receiver thought Kentucky would finally end
two decades of misery at the hands of
Tennessee.
"All we had to do was get a field goal and
the game would be a wrap and the streak
' uld be over," Johnson said.
Johnson, a junior college transfer, spent
only two years at Kentucky, perhaps not long
enough to know how these things tend to
work out for the Wildcats.
Tennessee's Dan Williams blocked the
kick, and the Volunteers won 52-~0 in four
overtimes, sending the Wildcats to their 23rd
straight loss against their border rivals and
blunting any late season momentum.
"This was a tough loss," said Kentucky
guard Jason Leger. "Since I came here,
Tennessee was the team that I wanted to beat.
The problem today was that we made too
many mistakes."
Now a season that began with such
promise has the Wildcats (7-5, 3-5) right
where they were a year ago.
And while back-to-back winning seasons
are a rarity for a program that has struggled to
survive in the Southeastern Conference, this
7-5 feels a little different than last year's 7-5.
Six weeks ago, the Wildcats vaulted into
the Top 10 after knocking off then-No. I LSU.
They were 6-1 and ready to make some major
noise.
But four losses in their final five games
brought the Wildcats back to earth and into a
mad scramble.for a bowl bid. While Kentucky
is assured of making a bowl, the destination
probably won't be as sunny as it could have
been.
"I am disappointed for our seniors, disappointed for our fans and disappointed about a
lot of things," said coach Rich Brooks. "8-4 is
a lot better than 7-5 .''
The program's 16 seniors had hoped to
make a lasting statement in their final home
game. The program had come so far in the last
two years, the seniors thought beating the
Volunteers would have been a fitting tribute to
the foundation they hope they've built.
Instead, it will be up to next year's team to
cod Tennessee's streak over the Wildcats, the
longest active winning streak by one team
over another in the Football Bowl
Subdivision.
"This loss is definitely No. 1 on my list of
tough losses," said wide receiver Keenan
Burton. "Coach had confidence in us. He
knew we'd been in a lot of situations like this.
We all thought we 'd overcome."
Kentucky has a good month to get over it.
The Wildcats will certainly be in the mix for a
bowl game. Representatives of the Chick-filA Bowl in Atlanta were at the game. A return
to the Music City Bowl, which the Wildcats
won last year, is also a possibility.
"It hurts," said defensive end Jeremy
Jarmon. "We really wanted to send those guys
out on a high note. Now all we can do is look
forward to the bowl game and try to make up
for what happened."

HAZARD HERALD
HAZARD - The South Floyd Lady Raiders concluded
their 2007 preseason last week with a road game versus the
Hazard Lady Bulldogs. The Lady Raiders started the night
by taking the JV game 24-10. They took an early lead in
the varsity game, but could not hold on down the stretch.
The Lady Raiders had a shot to tie at the buzzer, but the
attempt came up short.
The Lady Raiders opened the game hot, hitting from all
over the court. However, they soon cooled, and Hazard
mounted a comeback. At the break, Hazard owned a 14- I 0
advantage.
In the second half, the Lady Bulldogs began to stretch
their lead, and soon, had a double-digit advantage. Late in
the game, Kayla Hall hit a couple of three-pointers and the
comeback was on for the Lady Raiders. South Floyd rallied to get to within three points with only a handful of
ticks left on the clock. The Lady Raiders were able to
secure the ball, but could not get off the shot to tie. Hazard
went on to win the game 35-32.

DeSales advances
with 33-20 win
by JAMIE HOWELL
• CONTRIBUTING WRITER
LOUISVILLE - For three
quarters, it seemed as if the
stonsburg Blackcats would be
coming back home for a state semifinal game this Friday. However,
unfortunately for the Blackcats, a
game consists of four quarters.
Prestonsburg led 20-13 with 11:00
left in the game, but DeSales host
would proceed to score 20 straight
points for a 33-20 win.
After shutting out Shelby Valley
38-0 only one week prior,
Prestonsburg's defensive unit
seemed poised for another huge
effort. Junior tailback Allen
Craynon got the Blackcats on the
scoreboard first with a 36-yard
.•Ill
touchdown run at the 2:31 mark of
the first quarter.
DeSales Myles Poole evened
the score at 7-7 on a 1-yard plunge
at the 10:40 mark of the second
quarter. After exchanging punts,
Prestonsburg would retake the lead
on a 15-yard touchdown pass from
Michael Burchett to Austin
Gearheart at the 5:15 mark of the
second quarter. Clay Jamerson's
extra point was wide right and the
Cats were left to lead 13-7.
Prestonsburg took the 13-7 lead
into halftime.
DeSales evened the score at 1313 on a 4-yard run from Poole at
the 4:06 mark of the third quarter.
Ryan Johnson's extra point was
also wide right and the score
remained tied at the end of the third
quarter.
Prestonsburg retook the lead on
the first play of the fourth quarter.
Craynon eclipsed the 2,000 yard
rushing mark on a 21-yard touch-
down run at the 11:51 mark of the
fomth quarter as the Blackcats took
a 20-13 lead.
DeSales, however, refused to
buckle as Cody Cutsinger returned
the ensuing kickoff 85 yards to the
Prestonsburg 5 yard-line. The Colts
got within one point on a 5-yard
touchdown pass form Johnson to
Luke Renfro at the 10:54 mark of
the final quarter. Again, Johnson.' s
extra point was wide right. The
Blackcats held a 20-19 lead following the missed kick.
After forcing a Prestonsburg
punt, DeSales took the lead for
good with 6:35 left on the clock.
Poole took it in from 2 yards out
and the two point conversion gave
DeSales a 27-20 lead.
DeSales tacked on a late score
after the Blackcats were forced to
go for it on fourth and four from
their own 20 and failed to convert.
Prestonsburg ended the season
9-4.

Gillispie, never satisfied, told his
players that was four too many.

Texas Southern- the new Kentucky
coach went through each of the
Tigers' second half baskets and
e.xplained how all but one could have

"We don't like to give up a basket." Gillispie said. "You have to take
that approach. One basket is going to

"He deserves the credit,"

"He's that good. We did a good

After emerging as one of the
NFL's first-half surprises,
Tennessee (6-5) has lost three
in a row and its hold on a wild

has been sloppy and the

For the Titans' offense. it

The tale of
Winfred
At least some people have waited
until Thanksgiving was over before
they got started, but a drive into town,
after dark, already provides Christmas
glitter, that just four or five years ago
would have
likely been
reserved for
m

December.
So, since
everybody
else seems to
have taken an
early route to
this

And, since

trees seem to be sprouting in window
after window; I thought I'd share some
information I've gleaned from
research on that particular subject.
There are dozens of stories about
how we came to use the tree as a symbol of Christmas in the first place, and
one of my favorites is the tale of
Winfred. No, Winfred was not an old
boy I grew up with in Muddy Branch.
· This Winfred was an English missionary travelling through northern
Germany about 1,200 years ago, and
one day came upon a group of heathens beneath a giant oak tree, about
to sacrifice a little prince, named
Asulf, to the god Thor. Winfred
stopped the sacrifice, saved little
Asulf's life, and chopped down the
oak. As the great oak fell, a tiny fir
_ tree appeared.
Winfred told the people that the little fir represented Christ, and was the
tree of life. Thus, thanks to old
Winfred, the Germans became the
first Christmas tree users.
Actually, it's a good thing we
Americans don't follow all the traditions that some German families do,
became some have a Christmas tree in
their home for each member of the

Do you have

This past Sunday, members of our
congregation were blessed with another awesome message titled, "What is
the greatest thorn in your side?"
When Pastor Carl first began, and
with ink pen and notepad in hand, my
"thorn" was

The more he

more
I
seemed to jot.
Another
thorn
was
added, then
another.

us to scripture in Acts

to
prove
our
thorns and our need to forgive and lift
these individuals (a.k.a. our thorn's)
our entire congregation seemed to be
_,sitting on the edge of their pews.
·
Our "thorn's," if you will, are
bound, shackled and broken. How can
we expect God's Blessings for ourselves when we're harboring ill 'feelings toward our thorns? We must be
lifting these individuals up in prayer
before we lift our petitions our Pastor
preached. Again, OUCH!
The thorn in your side is an indi' vidual who can more than likely, without knowledge, make your skin crawl,

BSCTC announces Big Sandy Idol participants
Big Sandy Community and Technical College
(BSCTC) is pleased to recognize the Prestonsburg
High School and Betsy Layne High School participants who were selected to be in the local-level
competition of Big Sandy Idol at their respective
schools.
Big Sandy Idol, organized by the Music
Department of BSCTC, in partnership with the
Mountain Arts Center, and sponsored by Interstate
Natural Gas, is a talent and scholarship competition that offers two winners from each school a
chance to compete for a demo CD recording, a
full-album recording, and a $1,200 vocal scholarship to attend BSCTC, along with a spot with the
Big Sandy Singers, directed by Laura Ford Hall.
At the local level high school shows, The Big
Sandy Singers serve as the judges as well as perform at the beginning and end of the show.
The college will be bringing the Big Sandy Idol
Talent and Scholarship Program to all 14. high
schools in Pike, Floyd, Johnson, Magoffin, and
Martin Counties where each student chosen to
participate sings one full song. Two winners are
picked from the group of performers and these
two winners from each high school will advance
to compete at the regional-level of competition,
held at the Mountain Arts Center, the last weekend
of February.
Clayton Case, BSCTC's music and drama
department assistant director, serves as the coordinator of the Big Sandy Idol Program. Case, along
with Hall and Timothy Cooley, technical director,
have worked to organize sign-ups, auditions, and
shows for each high school.
At PHS, 28 students signed up to audition, with
10 students being chosen to compete at the local
level, in front of the PHS student body
AT BLHS, there were 42 auditionees, with 11
students chosen to compete in front of their peers.
At both competitions, several students were recognized for their abilities.
At Prestonsburg, Savanah Boyd and Hannah
Fitzpatrick were given honorable mention; at
Betsy Layne, Ariel Hopkins and Douglass Hall
were granted this recognition.

CRITTER CORNER
Protect pets from winter woes
Winter can be a season of bitter cold and
numbing wetness. Helping pets remain
happy and healthy during the cold months
can be helped along by following a few simple guidelines.
Don't leave dogs outdoors when temperatures drop. Most dogs, and all cat , are safer
indoors, except when taken out for exercise.
Regardless of the season, shorthaired, very
young, or very old and all cats should never
be left outside without supervision. Shortcoated dogs may feel more comfortable
wearing a sweater during walks outside.
No matter what the temperature, windchill can threaten a pet's life., A dog or cat is
happiest and healthiest when kept indoors. If
your dog is an outdoor dog, however, he/she
must be protected by a dry, draft-free doghouse that is large enough to allow the dog
to sit and lie down comfortably, but yet
small enough to hold in his/her body heat for
warmth. The t1oor of the house should be
raised a few inches off the ground and covered with cedar shavings or straw. Placing
blankets or rugs inside a doghouse is not a
good idea because they can become wet 9r
damp which will create cold and uncomfortable conditions for your dog.
Turning the house to face away from the
wind is imperative, and the doorway should
be covered with burlap ·or heavy plastic.
Pets who spend a lot of time outdoors
need more food in the winter because keeping warm depletes energy. Routinely check
your pet's water dish to make certain the
water is fresh, clean and unfrozen. Usc plastic food and water bowls rather than metal:
when the temperature is low, your pet 's
tongue can stick and freeze to metal.
Warm engine~ in parked cars attract cats
(See CRITTER, page seven )
This little cutie is "Foxy." Foxy is a pomerahian pup
owned by Woody and Mashanda Mullins who share that
their precious pet "loves to dress up and show off"l
Happy Holidays, Foxy!

remember, it is not the person
but the spirit that is in them, he
told us.
You have got to concentrate
on praying more for your
thorns if you want God to bless
you with the desires of your
heart, he said.
There wasn't a person in
our congregation that didn't
have a thorn in their side.
We have got be on our

thorns get to us can cause us to
not only lose our joy but how
we react can cause us to lose
our reputations, and even our
testimonies. OUCH! A soft
answer turns away wrath, but a
harsh word stirs up anger.
(Proverbs 15: 1)
God will even use your enemies to make a way for you
when you are in His Will.
Wow - thank you , Jesus!
When a man's ways pleases
the Lord, He makes even his
enemies to be at peace with
him. Why we must rise above
the hurt from our thorn's and
obey God!
To quote Jentzen Franklin,
"With praise comes prophesy,

And speaking of traditions,
• it's fascinating to read about
: how Christmas is celebrated
around the world. Although it
sometimes seems as if we tend
to celebrate Santa Claus
instead of Christ, and even
though it shouldn ' t make us
feel any less guilty, we' re not
the only ones who seem to
miss the point.
You'd be surprised how
many countries tie Christmas
, to
weddings.
In
Switiwzerland, for example,
young people attend midnight
church service on Christmas,
and on their way to church
they stop at nine fountains and
take three sips of water from
each. If they do this, when they
get to church, they'll find their
future husband or wife waiting
at the door.
• Continued from pS
In this same vein, in
Norway
they
make
a
Christmas pudding containing
an almond. They believe that
the person who finds the
almond in his (or her) portion
will be the next to be married.
A Czechoslovakian •radition says a young girl tells her
fortune (sort of) by putting a
cherry twig in a glass of water
on December 4. If the twig
blossoms before Christmas
Eve, it means she' ll get married sometime in the coming
year.
While traditions are OK, I
guess our real challenge is to
try to remember why we have
the holiday in the first place.
Unfortunately, too many of us
tend to believe it's all about
who has the biggest tree, the
prettiest yard, and the most
expensive gift list.
We really need to work on
that.

f
The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE- The
Kentucky Board of
Education has reached
a consensus on who the
next school chief should
be.
But the board says
it's keeping its choice for
the $200,000 a year job
a secret until Sunday
afternoon.
Two weeks ago, the
Kentucky Board of
Education narrowed
their candidates to four.
In an effort to avoid
another embarrassment,
the board is taking its
time and doing extra
background checks
before making the
announcement.
Kentucky state lawmaker Jon Draud and
former Florida state
school chief Jim Warford
are believed to be the
favorites for the position.
The board says it has
~ made its decision and
will announce the new
commissioner Sunday.
The announcement
comes six months after
suffering the embarrassment of picking a local
superintendent from
Illinois who was surrounded by controversy.
Then Barbara Erwin quit
before she started.
The school board
also is rejecting a
request incoming Gov.
Steve Beshear to
reopen the search
process again.

Mongiardo reparing for new role

HAZARD HERALD
HAZARD - Frankfort is about to
take on a new look following the election earlier this month, as Governorelect Steve Beshear has named secretary appointmenls and members.of his
transition team, and for the first time in
four years an Eastern Kentuckian will
hold one of the state's top offices.
Both Beshear and Lt. Governorelect Dr. Daniel Mongiardo will be
sworn into their offices on Dec. 11,
and, according to Mongiardo, a gov-
ernment composed of both Democrats
and Republicans working together is
perhaps what connected most with voters during their campaign.
"I think as we went around the state
talking about issues, common issues
that all of us face, such as health care,
education, economic development,
good jobs and benefits, what resonated
the most is they want to see a bipartisan approach to solving problems," he
said. "People are tired of partisan fighting going on in Frankfort and

HAZARD -For generations,
two
eastern
Kentucky families have
enjoyed more than 10,000
acres of scenic terrain on
the outskirts of Buckhorn
Lake. Now they have
opened up their properties
to the public for fourwheeling, horseback riding
and hiking.
The heads of the Gay
and Abner families decided
to lease their land for free
as part of a regional push
for adventure tourism after
monthslong talks with
county officials and Lt.
Gov.-elect
Daniel
Mongiardo, a Perry County
native who made adventure
tourism a part of ills campaign.
"As far as we're concerned, we did it to generate revenue - to bring in
tourism and business,"
Darrin Gay. of Buckhorn,
said Friday. Gay represented ills family in the deal.
The goal is to create an
all-terrain vehicle trail that
spans over five adjoining
counties - Clay, Owsley,
Perry, Breathitt and Leslie.
Officials hope to have the
area accessible to ATV riders by next fall, though
long-term plans include
trails for horseback riding,
hiking and biking.
State and local officials
have beeri trying to capitalize on the notoriously
rugged mountains of eastem Kentucky for years. A
recent state-commissioned
study found that the
Kentucky counties best
suited
for
adventure
tourism are also the most
economically distressed.
That's because
the
region is characterized by
severe terrain that has kept
the area from diversifying
its economy beyond coal
mining.
Earlier this year, Gov.
Ernie Fletcher rolled out a
strategy at Buckhorn Lake
State Resort Park, focusing
on the region's potential to
draw in an annuallOO,OOOplus whitewater paddlers,
rock climbers, hikers and
horseback riders.
The tricky part is convincing landowners to
come on board with tourism
plans. Some 94 percent of
land in Kentucky is privately owned, making deals .
with families a key part of
outdoor tourism, said Chris.
Gilligan, a Commerce
Cabinet spokesman.
Over the past three
years, about 100,000 acres
of privately owned land has
been signed over .for public
hunting and fishing. In
return, the landowners get a
single elk hunting permit in
exchange for every 5,000
acres.
The Gays and Abners
aren't getting anything in
return for their lease - at
(See TOURISM, page thfee)
While many were out shopping,
bikers from the Eastern Kentucky
Chapter Brothers of the Wheel
Motorcycle Club spent the day
after Thanksgiving at roadblocks
in hopes of giving local needy
children a merry Christmas. For
seven consecutive years, members have taken donations while
working with local Head Start programs to give less fortunate chil·
dren each a new pair of tennis
shoes along with a toy that they
request from Santa Claus and a
bag full of candy and treats.
While their goal is to be able to
help at least 100 children, members say last year enough funds
were collected to give to over
500. Club members worked
throughout the weekend at various locations in both Floyd and
Johnson counties.

ARH IISPiiiiS
Are Net Being Henest
Witll Patients.
ARH corporate executives are not being honest about the
reason why Registered Nurses are on strike at ARH hospitals.
ARH officials are falsely telling patients and the public that the
strike is all about money.
The truth is Registered Nurses at ARH Hospitals went on
strike to protect patient safety. ARH officials refused our
repeated requests to stop its practice of chronic understaffing
and forced overtime.
Almost every Registered Nurse on strike at ARH Hospitals
was born and raised here in the mountains of Eastern
Kentucky. We love these mountains and the people who call
them home more than any ARH corporate official living in
Lexington ever could. After all, our patients are our family,
our friends, our neighbors.
Registered Nurses are striking at ARH Hospitals because
we want to remai true to John L. Lewis' vision of affordable,
quality healthcare in the mountains and that means putting
patient safety - YOUR SAFETY - first.
It is impossible for Registered Nurses at ARH Hospitals to
provide the quality' of care you and your family deserve because of the unsafe staffing levels and mandatory overtime
policies that currently exist there.

As the meeting was

that management appreciates
the recommendations provided by the governor and will

According to KNA/WVNA

the meeting was, "As positive

The nurses' association met

According to Tanner, no

native, and himself, a Hazard resident,
more for rural Kentucky can be done in
terms of economic development.
"I think it is very important to have
people in high level positions that are
familiar with certain areas,'' Mongiardo
said. "Steve being from Western
Kentucky and me being from the castern part or the state, rural Kentucky is
well represented. Obviously, we have
unique issues and problems, but also
unique potential that hasn't been harnessed."
But Mongiardo also noted that the
rural areas of Kentucky wiU not be the
only focus ol the Beshear administration. but there arc certain initiatives in
place that can be capitalized on in order
to further the development of rural
Kentucky.
"The first thing is we' re going to
provide good government for all of
Kentucky," he said. "As far as economic development in Eastern Kentucky.
adventure tourism is an area or unharnessed potential and holds the most
possibilities in the near future. The
other, obviously, is coaL"
·
The Beshear administration will be
proactive in promoting coal, as statistics show that the energy sector will
provide 30 percent of jobs locally, and
Kentucky is well positioned to capitalize on those numbers, Mongiardo said.
And developing the economy of the
region could aid more urban areas in
building infrastructure and 'growth by
allowing these areas to function more
autonomously.
"If rural Kentucky can develop an
economy that is producing its own tax.
base. then the taxes produced in
Washington and want it to stop."
Beshear has pledged to appoint
those best suited for the job in secretary
positions. and last week requested that
two Republicans sit on Lhe transition
team that wiU work to evaluate the current government to see what is working
and what is not. ln addition to
Mongiardo, Republicans Steve Nunn, a
former state representative and son of
Kentucky's last Republican governor.
Louis Nunn, and CUITent Lt. Gov. Steve
Pence will be among the transition
team's members. Mongiardo noted that
the group has much to accomplish in
the nex.t few weeks before the Dec. 11
sweating-in date.
,
"There is obviously a lotto do in just
a short period of time to strut the
process by which to set up the
Beshcar/Mongiardo administration,"
Mongiardo said. 'We will go in and see
~here government is in each department and find out what we are facing
and what's in the hopper that we need to
continue to push."
Beshear has been quoted in media
outlets a-; saying some programs currently in the government, such as the
Unbridled Spitit campaign designed to
boost state's tourism industry, appear to
be working, and may be an initiative
begun in the Fletcher administration
that could be worth keeping. Beshear
noted that he will not alter government
operations "for the sake of change."
Rural areas of Kentucky in the castern, southern and western parts of the
state will benefit from the Bcshcar
administration, Mongiardo said, and
noted that by virtue of the home. regions
of both ,Beshear, a Dawson Springs
Lexington and Louisville can stay there
to help build infrastructure, so it's a
win-win:' he said.
Health care will also take up much
of Mongiardo's time in onice, he said,
as he plans to work to further previow;
initiatives he helped develop as a state
senator.
'Tm going to spend a lot of my Lime
on health care initiatives we've started
m information technology ami ehcalth,'' he said, further commenting
that Kentucky can lead the nation with
positive changes in the way health care
is provided.
Until nex.L month, Mongiardo is still
a state senator, a position he has held
representing Perry. Leslie, Bell and
Harlan counties since 200 I, but his resignation doesn' t mean he will stop
working for his home disttict.
"It's a bittersweet feeling because
winning lieutenant governor is a step up
[from the Senate] and allows me to do
more:· he said. "Being a state senator
for Perry. Harlan, Bell and Leslie counties, I certainly pul my heart into it. I
still sec myself as still in a position to
help do things we started, such as
expanding water and doing things
important to those four counties."
Mongiardo 's successor in the
General Assembly will be elected in a
special election held nex.t year.
Mongiardo, a physician and surgeon
who has practiced medicine in his
native Perry County for several years.
says he is also not ready to give up his
medical practice just yet, and his
patients can still see him practicing
medicine during his term as lieutenant
governor.

Mongiardo shot to political popularity in Kentucky following his narrow

Even fans and players who blindly stood behind Barry
Bonds must now concede the damage has been done. If
Bonds is convicted of federal charges of pe1jury and
obstruction of justice for his testimony four years ago to a
grand jury investigating the use of steroids, he will have forever tainted one of the greatest achievements in baseball and
forced the sport to address the matter in its record books.
And a conviction will prove once and for all that although
Bonds was an elite player, his record-breaking performance
on Aug. 8 in San Francisco, when he topped Hank Aaron's
all-time record of 755 home runs, was not only a chemically
induced illusion but an act of outright fraud. While fans
have a right to feel betrayed, the ultimate victim of that
fraud was Aaron.
Even if Bonds is found innocent of the charges, the publicity from the nial, as well as the imtictment itself, which
revealed "positive tests for the presence of steroids and
other performance-enhancing substances by Bonds and
other professional athletes," will have further sul1ied his reputation and that of baseball.
But as arrogant as Bonds has been about this whole affair,
the culpability isn't only his.
For far too long, Major League Baseball dragged its feet,
and when it finally got down to confronting the issue headon, the players' union threw up hurdles until the U.S. Senate
turned up the heat and forced the union to capitulate.
Unfortunately, a-; the Bonds case has so dramatica11y shown,
the new policy on performance-enhancing drugs and other
substances, widely acknowledged as the toughest in pro
sports, came too late. If Bonds is found guilty, baseball will
have to pick up the razor-sharp glass shards.
That challenging and thankless job will fall to
Commissioner Bud Selig. While many fans will no doubt
a'ik that Bonds' record be stricken, the more practical alternative probably would be to attach an asterisk behind
Bonds' name and record. Either way, it will be a painful
moment for baseball and especially for Selig, who can otherwise point with pride to the many accomplishments during
his tenure.

HowJFK
assassination
changed liberalism
From a distance of nearly 50
years, the liberalism of 1960 is hard
ly recognizable. Tt was comfortable
with the usc of American power
abroad, unabashedly patriotic and
forward-looking. But that was before
The Fall.
In his eye-opening book ..Camelot
and the Cultural Revolution," Jim
Piereson argues The Fall was the
assassination of President Kennedy.
lt represented more than the tragic
death of a young president. but the
descent or liberalism from an optimistic creed focused on pragmatic
improvements in the American con
dition to a darker philosophy
obsessed with America's sin~. Echoes
or the assassination - and the meaning attributed to it by JFK's admirers
-can still be heard in the querulous
tones or contemporary liberalism.
The real John F. Kennedy wasn't
the paladin or liberal purity or myth.
He was f1icnds with Joseph
McCarthy. Tn his 1952 campaign for
Senate and his 1960 presidential
campaign, he got to the right of his
Republican opponent<> on key issues.
"Kennedy did not want anyone to tag
him as a liberal, which
regarded as
the kiss of death in electoral politics,"
Piereson writtJS. As president, he was
he
vigorously anti-communist, a taxcutler and a cautious supporter of
civil rights.
His kind of liberalism - "tough
and realistic," a>; Picreson puts it, in
the tradition of FDR and Truman was
carried
away in the riptide of his
death. In a cmcial and counterintuitive
interpretive act,
nation's
the
opinion elite
made JFK a
mm1yr to civil .
rights instead
of the Cold
War. Kennedy
had been killed by a communist, Lee
Harvey Oswald, who a rew years
before had tried to defect ro the
Soviet Union. Liberals nonetheless
blamed the assassination on, in the
words of Supreme Court Chief
Justice Earl Warren, "the hatred and
bitterness that has been injected into
the life of our nation by bigots."
Thus, the assassination curdled
into an indictment of American society: "Kennedy Victim or Violent
Streak He Sought to Curb in Nation,"
read a New York Times headline.
Until this point, 20th-century liberalism had tended to see history as a
steady march of progress. Now, the
mm·ch had been intemtpted by the
country's own pathologies.
American history no longer
appeared to be a benign process, but
a twisted story of rapine and oppression. "With such a bill of indictment," Piereson writes, "the new liberals now held that Americans had no
good reason Lo feel pride in their.
country's past or
optimism about
its future."
Their agenda
look on a punitive
edge,
focused on compensating victim
groups and expiating the country's guilt. The
conspiracy theories and antiAmericanism
that had so appalled liberals about the
rar right in the 1950s had now gravitated to the left.
This downbeat and adversarial
disposition is - more than any specific policy weaknesses On, say,
national sccmity - a drag on contemporary liberalism's long-term
appeal. One day a Democratic politician will emerge who is compelling
enough to vanquish the foul spirit of
JFK's assassination from the lef'L.
Until that happens, JFK has to be
remembered, in Piereson's words, as
·'the last articulate spokesman for the
now lost world or American liberalism."

lt was a sight 1 nevcrthought we'd
see. Lawyers - half-shrouded in tear
ga<> -rioting in the streets, being hit
on the heads by policemen, thrO\ving
things at policemen. PROTESTING.
And get this, they weren't protesting in favor of higher fees. They were
protesting the violation of their
nation's constitution. Nor were these
law students mind you, but fullt1edged lawyers, willing to risk their
skulls in service of the rule of law.
Yes, I know, the lawyers were
Pakistanis and the streets were in
Islamabad, but it was a stirring sight
nevertheless.
(Pakistan, by the way. is that
country over there next to
Afghanistan and India. Tt was a frontier of the War on Terror before we
abandoned that light in favor of the
War to End the Civil War in Iraq Or
At Least Slow It Down.)
Pakistan's president, our friend
and ally Pervez Musharraf, had provoked the protests by suspending the
constitution, purging the supreme
court of all but his toadies, gagging
the free press, an·csting thousands of
his political enemies and declaring
virtual marshal law..
This is what caused the Pakistani
lawyers to revolt (as they had in
March when Musharraf tried unsuccessfully, partly due to the
protests - to tire the chief judge of
the Supreme Courl for pol itical reasons).
A la\\yer whose activist mother
had been an·ested told "Newsweek"
magazine: "There's no rule of law,
they've made the country unlivable.''
Gee, I wish we had lawyers like
that in this country.
Oh, we do hut not a lot of them.
The rule or law has been systematically eroded in this country these past
six years while the legal profession
has stood by with
h<U"<tly a whimper, let
alone an organit.ed
protest.
Take
Congress.
Please.
Lawyers
in
Congress arc as thick
as flees on a stray
dog. You would think
this so-called coequal branch of government would have
something to say when the U.S.
Constitution is run through a shredder by a power-mad administration.
It hasn't This Congress, whether
conu·ollcd hy Republicans or
Democrats, has rolled over at every
critical junction as the Bush administration usurped its powers and
responsibilities. On one issue after
another - war, torture, right of counsel, illegal surveillance, arbitrary
imprisonment, warrantless search
and sei/ure, suspension or the
Geneva Convention - Congress has
stepped aside, allowing the president
to invoke phantom war powers that
are nearly (and perhaps totally) limitless.
And if you think this is a partisan
problem, you're kidding yourself.
They're all in it together. Look at the
recently concluded Senate hearings
on Attorney General Michael
Mukasey. All lawyers on that committee, b) the way.
They asked h.im how he felt about
the Justice Department's ruling that
the president could approve the use
of torture in violation or the Geneva
Convention and U.S. Constitution.
He said that mling was "a mistake.''
They asked him how he felt about
torture. He said he was against it.
Then they asked him about waterboarding, a treatment that. has been
recognized as torture for centuries.
He said he didn't know
whether it was torture
or not.
He didn't know?
What, are you kidding
me?
But the Senate
approved his nomination anyway. That's
outrageous. It's stunning.
Democrats .argued
that Mukasey was the
best that Bush was apt lo oiTer. He
was a good judge, a decent man.
That makes him more or a danger,
not less. It is the moderate conservatives - the Powells and Rices who drag us into dark holes. Because
we trust them. Our embrace of torture
as an intenogation tool has helped
forge the world"s view of us as just
another cynical, mthless nation who
Lalks one game, walks another and is
without moral standing to criticize
other tyrants. That's not a trivial matter; it"s a big deal.
If Mukasey doesn't know waterboarding is torture, he is too dumb to
be Attorney General.
If he knows hut won· t admit it,
he's toQ dishonest.
Either way, Congress llunked its
test again.
What this country needs are some
Pakistani lawyers.

Faith Christian Counseling, at Ivel. is offering a
much-needed service to the eastern Kentucky area. As
one of the first Christian Counseling offices in eastern
Kenlucky, lhe center seeks lo provide help for hurling
individuals, families, marriages, those with addiction~.
and those who have suffered a loss that is greally
impacting their Jives. "We want to help hurting families, reslore individuals and marriages, and to nurture
lives to complete wholeness." said counselor and
owner Arlene Nickell, MSW,CSW. "Without the help
and wisdom of the holy spilit, we could not do this
job."
''Although Chrislians rely on the Lord lo give lhem
strength and to help them with their pain. God can stiiJ
send people inlo our lives to help us by giving u~ guidance and by lending a listening car,'' Nickell added.
"We praise God for lhe opportunily to be a small part of
His plan to help people remember that 'He gives power
to the faint and weary and to him who has no might. He
increases their strength,' which is found in Isaiah chapter 40.''
There are several olher counseling services in the
eastern Kentucky area, but few other are Christianbased. There are many similarilies belween Chrislian
counseling and secular counseling, hut there arc differences also. As a general rule, both Christian counseling
and secular counseling share the same desire to help
people overcome their problems, find meaning and joy
in life, and become healthy and well-adjusted individuals, both mentally and emotionally.
The word "counseling" can have mulliple meanings,
including offering advice and encouragement, sharing
wisdom and skills, setting goals. resolving contlicl, elc.
Counselors usually probe the past (whether the problem
happened a week ago or during childhood) in an
attempt to repair the present. Sometimes they explore
possible affects of physical and chemical imbalances
that can cause physiological problems. A major part of
counseling is resolving and restoring conflicts between
people.
Christian counseling is distinctly different from secular counseling in thal for spiritual pe\)ple, Chrislian
counseling rises to another dimension. Quistian counselors see the Bible as the source of all truth and understand thalthe Bible has a lol of praclical wisdom aboul

and so much more.
Faith Counseling Center helps jx:oplc with all types
of problems. "Some of the things we see in our counseling office arc marital issues, the lntcnict. pornography and sexual addictions, drug addiction, and depression and anxiely disorders," said Nickell. "We see

THE FLOYD CouNTY TIMES
All-wheel drive a necessary expense in some climates
by TOM and RAY
MAGLIOZZI
Dear Tom and Ray:
I'm writing to you from hot
and sunny Phoenix. My wife
and I currenlly own a 2004
Subaru Forester. We bought an
all-wheel-drive
vehicle
because we hope to be living
someplace where it snows
within the next few years. We
love the car, but the gas
mileage isn' t spectacular
because
of the AWD.
However, the owner's manual
talks about a way to make the
car work in front-wheel drive
only: by inserting a spare fuse
into the fuse box when you
need to drive on a spare tire, so
that the AWD system doesn't
get ruined. Our question: If we
put in this extra fuse to deactivate the AWD and therefore
get better gas mileage, are we
running the risk of damaging
the AWD system over time?
-David
TOM: Well, having lived in
the great frozen North for all
of our miserable lives so far.
we can't imagine why you'd
want to move to where it
snows. Unless you make your
living
selling
Bronko
Nagurski Long Underwear.
RAY: You've actually identified a problem that many
people aren' t aware of, David:
All-wheel-drive vehicles are
more expensive to own.
TOM: When you have all-
wheel drive, you add an additional set of drive-train components. Those components
add weight to the car, which
decreases your mileage. They
also can add to your repair
costs, because there are more
things to break.
RAY: So if you live in. say,
Florida, Arizona or Southern
California, you do your commuting on paved roads and
you don't work for Mutual of
Omaha's Wild Kingdom, you
probably want to skip the allwheel drive and save yourself
some money.
TOM: A lot of people figure, "Well, it can't hurt. And
maybe ['11 be in a situation
where it will be useful sometime." But they don't realize
they're paying for that allwheel drive every day in lower
mileage.
RAY: Now, as you've discovered, David, Subaru docs
provide a way to deactivate the
rear drive shaft. But unfortunately, it really won't help
your mileage. Even though
you can disconnect the rear
drive-train components from
the transmission, those parts
are still turning (it's just that
the rear wheels are pushing
them, rather than vice versa).
AND you're still carrying all
of those parts around with you.
So you still have the weight
AND some of the friction of
the AWD system, even when
it's disconnected.
sequently drippi ng on my
brother's driveway. When I
went to open the back of the
car to gel paper towels to wipe
up the puddle forming underneath, I found a spray of oil on
the back window and hatch
door (like someone sprayed it
with Pam). I can't imagine
what the.car that was tailgating
me looks like. l immediately
called my husband (who, I
might add, I trust with my life
and KNOW BEYOND A
SHADOW OF A DOUBT
THAT HE PUT THE CAP
BACK ON PROPERLY). He
tells me that the oil cap shot
off (reminding me that this
happened once before). My
questio n: What happene<;l?
When I brought it in to the service station (the same guys
who have fixed and serviced it
for years), they told me that oil
caps are not under any pressure and will not "shoot off."
Service Guy told me in not so
many words that the cap w,as
NOT put on properly. What do
you think? - Leslie
TOM: Well, Leslie, we
know beyond a shadow of a
doubt that your husband did
not put the cap back on properly.
TOM: So T'm afraid you ' re
out of luck, David. What CAN
you do? Make sure your tires
are properly inflated, be sure
your engine is tuned and running well, and take that 1,000pound snowmobile out of the
back of the car until you actually make your move North.
Her husband is pulling a
fast one
Dear Tom and Ray:
I have a 2002 Daewoo
wagon. (I'll pause here for
your laughter.) I have owned it
since it was new and have adequately maintained it, and it
has just under 50,000 miles on
it. Recently we took a trip, and
because of an ongoing oil drip,
my husband checked the oil,
added a half-quart and then we
headed home. After stopping
and dropping off him and the
kids. I headed out to my brother's house (10 minutes away)
to pick up our dog. On the way
there, I could see white smoke
coming from the back of the
car. Once I got into his driveway, the car was smoking profusely. I opened the hood to
find the oil cap missing and oil
coating the inside of the
engine compartment and con-
tern. lf pressure were the problem. other thi ngs would blow
off first.
TOM: You can try it yourself. Put the cap on correctly,
and then try to pull it straight
off You won't be able to.
RAY: And the film on your
back window was j ust o il,
dripping down underneath the
car and getting swept up onto
the back window. We see that
a!J the time when differentials
leak.
TOM: Fortunately, you
probably didn't do any permanent damage. If you were
down only a quart or two when
you took it in, the engine is
fine - or at least no worse
than it was before this incident.
RAY: To reduce the likelihood of this happening in the
fu ture, I would suggest applying some Ginkgo biloba - to
your husband. not your oil cap.
Good luck, Leslie.
RAY: There's rca!Jy no
other way for it to come off.
There is a small amount of
postttve pressure in the
crankcase, but not enough to
''blow off ' an oil cap that was
properly tightened.
TOM: I suppose it's possible that the cap was stripped or
broken, or that it's particularly
hard to screw on in this vehicle
(we don't know, because we
don't see many 2002 Daewoos
in our garage). But if not, the
only explanation is that it wasn't tightened all the way.
RAY: The oil cap is just not
the weakest link in that sys-

two?) and Kessler vows to
keep at it.
He gets more inspiration
when his· daughter comes forward and states that she
remembers Stacy as the creepy
guy who all of her friends
avoided like the plague. Stacy
knows she can put him with
the first victim and begins
stalking her and making
obscene phone calls to her
while using a pathetic Spanish
accent.
Kessler has the calls taped
and a voice print analysis
matches Stacy with the caller,
but a misdemeanor charge
won't keep Stacy away so he
decides to plant blood evidence on Stacy's clothes. He
almost gets away with it but
backs off when his idealistic
partner refuses to play along.
Stacy gets freed and Kessler
gets fired.
Kessler uses his free time to
make Stacy's life a living hell
and begins stalking him,
breaking into his apartment
and badgering him with·phone
calls. It doesn't take long for
Stacy to crack, but can Kessler
get to him in time before the
madman gets to his daughter?
Hey, this is Charles Bronson
here, but I will say that the
explosive ending. though you
know it's coming, does feature
a few surprises and several
bodies hit the floor before justice can be served in such a
fashion that Kessler may not
be walking away after doing
the right thing.
This one is smarter than
your average Bronson thriller
and 10 times better than the
future collaborations he would
make with director Thompson,
which include the uninspired
final two films in the "Death
Wish" series. Chuck gets to do
some real acting here and he is
especially effective in the
scenes with his daughter.
Andrew Stevens also has
some fine moments as the true
blue McAnn, but this moyie
belongs to Gene Davis as the
uber-creep. He skillfully portrays Stacy as the mama's boy
from hell who never had a date
because his crybaby personality overpowered his flashy
looks and surface charm. It's a
daring performance but not the
kind that leads to offers to play
anything other than Norman
Bates wannabes.
The final message (that we
don't need the law when we're
right) is a dangerous one, but
they stack the deck against
Stacy so well that you'd he
hard-pressed to suspect that .
the courts could have done
him any better.
Best line: ·'The way the law ·
protects those maggots out .
there, you'd think they were an
endangered species."

KENTUCKY AFIELD
FRANKFORT - With the
garage half full of fishing gear
and closets burgeoning with
hunting clothes, decoys and
portable blinds, how do you
decide what to get the well
stocked outdoors enthusiast for
Christmas?
One of the simplest gifts that
ensures the safety of your friend
or loved one when they are on
the water is a personal floatation
device, commonly referred to as
a lifejacket
A personal floatation device is
~ one of those items you really
need, but don' t want to buy. It
isn't flashy, new or innovative,
but one of the things you must
have for fishing from a boat,
canoe, float tube, inflatable pontoon boat or kayak. Nationally,
nearly nine out of every 10 fatal
boating accidents from drowning
could have been prevented by
wearing a personal floatation
device.
The main complaint about
these devices is they can be hot
on a summer day and get in your
way while fishing or rowing.
Over the past decade or so,
inflatable personal floatation
devices have came onto the market These vests consist of inflatable bladders that hang down
your chest, connected in the back
by a strap. They are no more
uncomfortable than a towel
hanging around your neck.
Inflatable vests cjon't get in
your way while you fish or row,
and the lack of material around
your body keeps them from making you hot The less expensive
models inflate with the pull of
~ the cord. The more expensive
models inflate automatically
when they hit the water.
Kentucky's boating laws
require that each person on board
wear a Coast Guard approved
Type I, II or III personal floatation device, or have one readily
accessible. Some inflatable vests
must be worn to comply with the
law, instead of just readily available. Check the label on the vest
- it will inform you whether it
must be worn in order to be
Coast Guard approved as a Type
I, II or III personal floatation
device.

Patterson's 23 points helps Kentucky regroup against Liberty
by JEFFREY McMURRAY

Clark leads ·i niurv-plagued louisville past UNlV, 68-48•
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS -Life without
injured post players Juan
Palacios and David Padgett
could be tough for Louisville.
Against UNLV, the Cardinals
showed they could win without
them.
Earl Clark had 16 points and
12 rebounds and Jerry Smith
added 14 points to lead No. 6
Louisville to a 68-48 win on
Wednesday night.
Palacios, a senior and the
lone contributing holdover from
the Cardinals' 2005 FinaJ Four
team, is expected back from a
tom ligament in his right knee
by mid-December. Padgett, who
hurt his knee Sunday, could be
lost for the season.
That leaves Louisville with
eight scholarship players and
questions with depth. It runs an
up-tempo offense and pressure
defense and Pitino plans on
doing more substituting than
usual.
"We had to change our
whole system overnight," coach
Rick Pitino said. "Padgett was
the key to our offense and how
we ran the high and low."
In the interim, the Cardinals
will rely on forward Derrick
Caracter, who scored eight
points and grabbe.d five
rebounds before fouling out late,
and a host of others to carry the
load. Edgar Sosa added 10
pojnts.
Louisville (3-0) led by double digits in the first half, but
UNLV made four straight 3pointers to take a 35-33 lead
with 14:36left.
Following a time out,
Louisville scored the next nine
point , including 3-pointers
fro m Terrence Williams and
Sos~ and never trailed again.
The outburst was capped by a
transition dunk from Clark as
the Cardinals went on a decisive
16-2 run.
"We made an adjustment
with our zone defense in that
time out," Pitino said. "We
couldn't stop them from making
the 3, so we went to a man-toman for the rest of the game."
Louisville, in town early for
the Las Vegas Invitational on
Friday and Saturday, will play
formidable BYU in the semifinals and could meet No. 1North
Carolina in the finals.
Pitino said giving bench
players crucial minutes against
quality competition will be a
benefit, but only if the
Cardinals survive a tough nonconference
schedule
that
includes a contest at instate
rival Kentucky.
"If we get our guys back
healthy it will make a lot of
guys better," Pitino said. "When
I made the schedule, I didn't
think we'd be done to eight
scholarship players."
UNLV (3-1), which had won
its previous 19 games at home,
got a team-high 11 points from
Matt Shaw, the lone Rebel in
double figures.
Wink Adams and Joe Darger
added nine points each for the
Rebels, who missed 17 of their
first 21 shots.
"Louisville is an outstanding
team," UNLV coach Lon
Kruger said. "Louisville turned
it up a bit and made some good ~
plays."
UAB holds off Eastern Kentucky comeback, prevails 64-50
TIMES STAFF REPORT
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The
Eastern Kentucky University
men's basketball team fell on
the road Wednesday night at
UAB, 64-50. For the second
straight game, cold shooting
doomed the Colonels as the
team shot 35 percent from the
field (18-for-51), including 27
percent (6-for-22) from behind
the three-point arc.
With the loss, EKU dropped
to 2-2. The Blazers improved to
3-3 following the win.
The Colonels dug themselves a large hole early as the
Blazers led by as many as 12
just seven minutes into the
game. Solid defense and a slow
pace kept the Colonels in the
game and down just 31-18 at
the half.
EKU crept within 10 of the
Blazers numerous times in the
second half, but were never
able to make it a single digit
deficit until senior forward
Darnell Dialls nailed his second three-pointer from jhe top
of the key with 4:37 left to
make it 52-45. Following a
Jamaal Douglas put-back with
4:00 showing on the clock, the

However, a three-point play by

The senior had taken only eight

Woodyard works on recruits
by JEFFREY McMURRAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON
When
Wesley Woodyard decided to
spurn offers from more established programs to help resurrect Kentucky football four
years ago, the Wildcats landed
not only a playmaking linebacker but also a dealmaking
recruiter.
Woodyard, ninth on the
school's all-time list with 370
tackles, is the guy who makes
the much-improved defense
tick. He leads the Southeastern
Conference with 114 tackles
and has recorded at least four
tackles in each of the 35 games
since the start of his sophomore season.
But as Woodyard's senior
year winds down Saturday in
the regular season finale
against Tennessee, the more
indelible mark on the program
might not be his own accomplishments but his talent luring
other stars to follow him to
Lexington.
"I have a lot of confidence
in our program and our city,"
Woodyard said. "I just let people know how it is."
When Woodyard goes after
a recruiting target, he combines the persuasiveness of a
used-car dealer with the credibility of a fierce competitor
whose professional stock has
risen through four years of
seasoning at .a school riddled
by probation when he arrived.
"His sales pitch was,
'Come here, believe, and be a
part of something,"' defensive
end Jeremy Jarmon said.
'"Don't go somewhere else
where they already have something established and people
possibly won't even remember
you."'
Woodyard, a native of
LaGrange, Ga., has had the
most success recruiting fellow
players from the peach state.
He says one high school team-
mate fellow linebacker
Braxton Kelley- was a particularly difficult sell.
Kelley initially played
tough to get, but eventually
Woodyard's message got
through and he signed with the
Wildcats.
"He basically told me, 'Do
you want to have to wait to
play or come in and play
now?"' Kelley said. "When
you come to a place that's not
winning, you have to take that
role. You have to do something
to make a change. Recruiting
was the tool he used to make a
change in our team."
Later, Woodyard hosted
receiver Steve Johnson on a
recrmtmg vtstt.
Johnson
signed out of junior college
and has had a breakout senior
season.
"Anybody that has the
recognition that Wesley has
and has performed on the field
like he has , when he entertains
recruits and talks to them
about coming here, they' re
more likely to listen," coach
Rich Brooks said.
Defensive
coordinator
Steve Brown said potential
recruits are asking to be lined
up with Woodyard. Recently, a
high school player from
Alabama called Brown and
asked to talk to "No. 16."
Brown gladly complied.
"When we recruited him to
come here, we told him exactly the truth and he's learned to
love this place," Brown said.
"He's probably our best
recruiter because he's a guy
that can speak their language
and he also understands that
he can explain his experience
here."
Woodyard, who is majoring in social work, also has
made his mark at a Lexington
clinic that specializes in helping at-risk teenagers.
He
worked
at
the
Lexington Day Treatment
Center four hours a week last
spring as part of his course
VISIT
work and was so popular
among the teens, the center
hired him for more extensive
work over the summer.
"He seems to really connect with even some of the
more difficult kids nobody
seems to connect with," said
Lisa Berman, the center's
director of clinical services.
"He can find something about
them to make them feel comfortable enough to let their
guard down. They see hirp as a
real genuine person, and they
respond to that."
Berman said the linebacker
easily could pursue a career in
social work, but first he .likely
will try his fortunes playing
football on Sundays. He is one
of several Wildcats who figure
to be drafted by an NFL team.
Woodyard's one possible
drawback as a pro player may
be his size. At 6-1 , 212 pounds
he is much smaller than many
of the bulky linebackers found
on NFL rosters. He might end
up projecting to safety on the
next level, but Brown is convinced Woodyard can remain
a linebacker.
"Certain systems, like the
(Indianapolis) Colts, like
smaller, faster linebackers,
whereas
the
Baltimore
Ravens like 240-pound linebackers," Brown said. ''But I
think he' ll get some opportunities to play at the next
level."
Woodyard said he'll switch
positions if that would help
the team, but he considers
establishing himself as a pro
linebacker as a challenge.
"Coming into my freshman
year, people would say,
there's a certain thing about
linebackers - you've got to
be this height, got to be this
weight to compete in the
SEC," Woodyard said. "I
think I've had some kind of
success playing this year
through my speed, through
my heart and my love of the
game."
Blazers' Robert Vaden, who
was averaging 20.2 ppg finished with six points on 2-for11 from the field.
Eastern Kentucky will conclude its three-game road
swing today at Duke. That
game will be televised regionally by Fox Sports Net South.
Game time is set for 1 p.m.

Beshear staff draws heavily from from PR sector

GA 30606 2428
FRANKFORT - Gov.-elect Steve
Beshear, following two governors
whose images were tarnished by scandal, enlisted public relations experts
among the first aides in his budding
administration,
Former Gov. Paul Patton. a
Democrat, left office in 2003 following
a tawdry sex scandal. His successor,
Republican Gov. Ernie' Fletcher,
escaped legal but not political consequences from his indictment in a hiring
scandal, and failed to win re-election.
For a new governor, public image
may be everything.
"Politics is in general about images,
about
perceptions,"
said
Joe
Gershtenson, a political scientist at
Eastern Kentucky University. "It's
always going to be critical to elected
officials to have folks m places that are
adept at shaping images, creating
images and dealing with media outlets."
Patton's two-year affair with former
nursing home operator Tina Conner
was revealed publicly in 2002. Patton
left office a year later, after term limits
prohibited him from seeking another
term.
Fletcher won his 2003 election in
part on a promise to "clean up the mess
in Frankfort" and hire people of "rock
solid values." Then, however, a special
grand jury began looking into allegations the governor's political supporters were improperly being given protected state jobs. Fletcher pardoned his
entire administration before he was
indicted on misdemeanor charges that
were eventually dropped in a deal with
Unable to recover politically,
Fletcher lost to Beshear Nov. 6 by 18
percentage points.
Beshear announced last week that
Phil Osborne, CEO of PrestonOsborne, is Beshear's incoming communications director, .while Thomas L.
Preston, founder of The Preston Group
Inc., will become his senior adviser.
Both men have experience in politics
and in public relations.

Jim Cauley, who will be Beshear's
chief of staff, said Beshear ha,d made a

The Eastern Kentucky
Science
Center
and
Planetarium wants everyone to experience the wonder of the Christmas Star
this hoUday season, beginning Friday, Nov. 23, during an original Science
Center production called
"The Star of Bethlehem."
The Star of Bethlehem
program examines the
celestial object that, according to the Book of Matthew
in the Chiistian Bible, led
three Magi to the city of
Bethlehem, where they
found the baby Jesus lying
in a manager.
"Throughout the ages.
astronomers, historians and
archeologists have tried to
tigure out what the Star of
Bethlehem might have
been. This show explores
several of the possibilities
that have been considered,"
said Eric Thomas, EKSC
Director. "The program
combines history
and
astronomy and is a wonderful way to start the holiday
season."
The
planetarium's
Chronos Star Projector provides the audience with a
view of the sky exactly the
way it was 2,000 years ago.
The Center combines other
elements of its advanced
planetarium technology,
including state-ofwthe-art
projectors and sound systems, to send the audience
back in tinie for a step-bystep look at events occurring in the night sky and in
the Roman Empire.
The Star of Bethlehem
program was written by former
EKSC
director
Raymond Shubinski and
produced by Thomas. The
show is narrated by Keith
Caudill and Misty Daniels
of the Mountajn Arts Center

Bridge at Floyd/Pike line expected to be rebuilt next year
The bridge on Route 194 at the
mouth of Brushy Fork, Lower Johns
Creek, will go to bid next year, meaning that a new bridge is to be constTucted.
According to Sam Hale. PE, Bridge
Engineer for Highway District 12, the
bridge is on the Floyd/Pike County
line. lt is being replaced because it has
a 20-ton weight limit. "On a scale of 1
to 100. this bridge has a sufficiency rating of 46.5 as of October 2006." Hale
explained. "The bridge i~ a side-byside box beam bridge without a concrete deck. This means that vehicles
drive on the box beams. The beams
have edges which are badly spalled
(chipped off due to weathering) along
the grout Joints. The grout joints themselves have failed throughout the structure." James said thar other problems
include some cracking in the beams
and one of the bridge abutments.
The new bridge will be built about
forty feet downstream from the existing bridge. Construction is currently
scheduled for i1scal year 2008. "It
could take about six months to complete the project," Chris James. PE,
Project Manager, explained. "Various
factors can affect that, of course, the
primary one being the weather. So it
could take a little more time or a little
less."

Miller stepping down as state Democratic chairman
by JOE BIESK
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANKFORT Kentucky
Democrats will rocus next year
on regaining dominance in the
General
As~embly
and
attempting to gain a seat in the
state's Washington delegation,
the party's ne.wly. appointed
chairwoman said Monday.
Shortly after her appointment, Louisville attorney
Jennifer Moore made her
intentions clear: Democrats
will seek to regain some political ground rrom Republicans.
"We're going to work hard
immediately 10 win back the
state Senate, to keep our
majority in the state House and
to take back the U.S. Senate
seat in 2008," Moore said.
"And. obviously, we're going
to start doing that immediately.''
Gov.-elect Steve Beshear,
who takes office on Dec. 11 ,
announced he was recommending Moore to be Jonathan
Miller's permanent replacement when the Democratic
Party's state central executive
committee meets early next
month. Miller, who is llnishing
his second term as state treasurer, has agreed to become
state finance secretary in
Beshear's administration.
Miller
became
the
Democratic Party chairman in
May, afler Beshear emerged
from a crowded o:;ix-candidatc
field Lo win the Democratic
nomination. He said he was
writing a resignation letter
from the chairmanship that
would be effective Monday.
Moore has been the party's
vice chaiiwoman. Nathan G.
Smith of Fort Mitchell is being
recommended as her replacement for that post.
Beshear said Moore would
be "one of the most highly
qualilied this state has ever
seen."
Moore, 33, represented
Democrat Virginia Woodward
in her dispute with Republican
Dana Seum Stephenson over
the 2004 election results for the
state Senate seat representing
the 37th District in Jefferson
County. The case over
Stephenson's
residency
requirements wound its way to
the Kentucky Supreme Court,
which ruled neither Stephenson
nor Woodward could hold the
seaL
Currently, the GOP holds a
21-16-1 lead in the Senate,
while Democrats have a 63-37
advantage in the House.
Kentucky GOP Chairman
Steve Robertson said he was
disappointed with Moore's
involvement during the previous election cycle in ads targeting Kentucky Secretary of
State Trey Grayson. Robertson
claimed the Democratic ads
against Grayson distOrted his
record, which Moore has
defent.led and maintained were
accurate.
"ll she's going to step up to
the big stage, she's got to learn
that there's going to be
accountability on her actions,"
Robertson said. "We wish her
all the best success, but she
needs to understand that we're
going to be paying attention."
Moore said Democrats are
intent on reducing
the
Republican dominance in the
state Senate and seeking to oust
U.S. Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell. Party officials would begin immediately
fundraising for the 2008 elections, Moore said.
McConnell, who at last
Beshear predicting tight budget looming for state
by JOE BIESK
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANKFORT Gov.elect Steve Beshear has started
reviewing the state's financial
situation and is predicting
·'tight times'· could be ahead,
he said Monday.
Beshear, who takes office
on Dec. ll, said he's looking
both at the state's current
financial situation and at what
lies ahead. lt's among the
many areas his administration
has to rein in before taking
office.
··u is going to be some tight
times financially, it looks like
right now:' Beshear said.
Bcshcar met Monday
morning with his transition
team, which is tasked with
assessing
Gov.
Ernie
Retcher's outgoing administration.
Even though the election
was only about two weeks
ago, Beshear is already on a
tight schedule.
The General Assembly
meets in session agam this
January, and its primary focus
will be to craft a two-year
spending plan for Kentucky.
By state law, Beshear has until
the General Assembly's 15th
day in session - which next
year is Jan. 29 -to present his
two-year budget proposal.

the area.
As 21 people die every day
from smoking-related causes,
whether it be cancer, strokes or
heart attacks, students say it is
personally rewarding to be
able to help spread such an
important message.
"I have family members
that smoke, including an
uncle," said Nick Bingham,
treasurer for the Floyd County
4-H Teen Council, whose participated twice in the HOT
program. "T hate smoking, T
despise it."
Through the PSAs, students
will be able to not only inlluencc others to not smoke, hut
also tO inform the public or the
facts behind smoking. In both
the posters and the television
commercials, students will he

for not smoking. For example,
a student who is in choir may
be featured in their choir robe
with a microphone or someone
who plays soccer may be in

only to tell others about their
anti-tobacco activity.

"con~;cious

unified message. That would
help in areas such as steering
its priorities, Cauley said.
'The way Steve looks at it
is, I think, the whole government heeds lO speak with one

that is articulating what we're

bought the company in 1997,
according to its Web site. The
agency has worked with
the
clients
including
Lexington Convention and
Visitors Bureau, The Henry
Clay Center for Statesmanship
and the Kentucky Equine
Education Project, a horse
industry group that advocates
legalizing casino gambling.
Throughout his gubematorial campaign, Beshear touted
his support of legalizing casino gambling in Kentucky.
Kentucky could tap into an
entertainment market that
would bring slate government
about $500 million per year
for expenses such as education
and health care, Beshear said.
KEEP, which is based in
Lexington, has pushed for
casino gambling at Kentucky's
horse racing tracks as away to
preserve the state's iconic
equine industry.
·
Having the head of a firm
that has worked with KEEP
involved in slate government
could help Bcshear's administration to crarting an approach
in presenting a gambling plan
to the public, Gcrshtcnson
said.
"That sh'ould prove helpful
to him in terms of going out
and designing the actt1al package that he's going to push for
the legislature to consider,"
Gershtenson said.
Not so, said Osborne, who
will be taking a break from his
company.
"There's no cause and
effect," Osborne said. "That's
not the intended desire to put
the two together."

Editorial roundup
Tfze Dallas Manring Ne_ws, on the price of oil:
··1 am sorry to say this, but we are headed toward really
bad days," a prominent energy economist told Time magazine last week. ...
That was no alarmist talking. It was Fatih Birol, the
chief economist for the International Energy Agency, an oil
industry organization whose annual World Energy Outlook
report is widely considered a reliable indicator of petroleum supplies ....
... Dallas oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens i~ one of the
petroleum experts who believes that world oil production
has peaked.... Others, including the International Energy
Agency, believe that the current shortage is critical but
manageable with necessary adjustments in both production
and consumption, a~ well as investments iii research and
development. ...
... Whether the world supply of oil has absolutely
peaked or is not rising to meet demand because of human
folly, there's going to be a lot le~s of the black stuff around
in the near future. And that's going to hurt.
The (Nashville) Tennessean, on health insurance:
There's quite a spat emerging in the nation between doctors groups and health-care insurers, but at its heart is a
concept that could prove immensely valuable to patients.
It involves initiatives to rate doctors, based on cost and
quality of care, giving consumers important information to
shop and compare for the most cost-efficient service from
a medical provider - the same kind of information a consumer would want when purchasing almost any other good
or service ....
... Doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies
should all operate on a much more transparent basis. They
should be more open about their qualifications, performance record and what they charge for services ....
The day should come when people shop for health care
the same way they shop for any other service, with loads
of infotmation at their fingertips. There is nothing remotely reflecting that goal in place now. But just as everyone
can agree patients deserve more information, there should
be universal agreement that the data is compiled fairly,
accurately and without a hidden motive. Insurers should
know that patients are suspicious about their motives
already. They don't need to feed that suspicion.
The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch, on money:
A house bill that would cut the U.S. Mint's cost of making pennies, a bothersome form of exchange, also would
allow an Ohio company to resume melting down older
pennies for their increasingly valuable copper content.
The very existence of this bil11s a testament to the idiotic frittering away of taxpayers' money just to feed what
seems a national obsession with minting and printing coins
and currency that have outlived their usefulness. How else
to explain legislation designed to change the metal content
of coins in order to cut costs of production? ...
... Making the lowest-denomination coins costs far more
than they are worth: about 1.6 cents per penny and 10
cents per nickel. The United States should phase out coins
that are a strain on the federal budget, along with the paper
$1. ...
Guest column
House week in
review
by STATE REP. HUBERT COLLINS
Anyone who read or watched coverage or the 2007 Kentucky governor's race or has followed any gubernatorial or presidential race knows
that candidates run their campaigns
on what are called "issues"--or challenges facing society. Campaigns for
these offices spend months and even
years researching the issues to help
their candidates become better
infonned ahout the government they
aspire to lead.
They are not alone.
State lawmakers also spend a lot or
time researching the issues. We must.
As Kentucky's state's chief policymaking body and holder of the stare's
purse strings. the General Assembly
dctctmincs how much of our state tax
dollars go to education, roads,
Medicaid and dozens of other state
programs. Only hy thorough study
can legislators detennine how taxpayer dollars entrusted to state government would be best spent in these and
other area<;.
Of course, this kind of study takes
time. So lawmakers meet year-round
in committees focused on a particular
area of concern like education, labor
or health and welfare, to enable them
to study the issues at hand and prepare bills that address those issues in
the following winter's legislative session. Lawmakers have been working
since the last regular ses~ion ended in
March preparing for the issues of the
2008 Regular Session which, by most
accounts, is expected to .Present lawmakers with many challenges facing
Kentucky.
The poor financial condition of our
county jails is one issue that hao; surfacttd over the past three regular sessions and is expected to resurface
again in 2008. Yet as in years past ,
diffciing sides on the issue will not
make this an easy issue to solve.
Some propose a state takeover of
the jail system, which is largely burdened by nonrcimburscmcnt of costs
associated with housing p1isoners
awaiting slate sentencing. Others
argue that a state takeover would
erode accountability of the jail system
that local control provides. and
instead propo~e lhal jails save money
by consolidating or split control of the
jails between the state and local government<>. How the General Assembly
decides to address this issue in the
coming session will be determined by
weighing the costs to both the counties and the state and trying to come
up with the best solution for all parties involved, including local c1tizens.
Few ci tizens are more deserving of
the General Assembly's att~ntion than
our military personnel who selllessly
give of themselves to protect ·our
nation. Lawmakers pass bills each
session to benefit these brave men
and women. and will spend part of the
2008 considering proposals to
improve their quality of life. Yet one
issue facing lawmakers next session
that is particularly challenging is
whether or not to exempt active-duty
military pay of Kentucky residents
from state income tax.
It is estimated that the exemption
of all active-duty military pay from
state income tax would cost Kentucky
$18 million in annual revenues.
\\'hile every lawmaker wanL') to support our troops. the need to replace
lost revenue streams also weighs
heavily on our minds. We will have a
lot to consider when this issue comes

up for debate in the next session.
Improving science and math curriculum and instruction in Kentucky's
public schools was a major issue during the 2007 Regular Session when
lawmakers considered incentives to
encourage more students to enter the
science, technology, engince1ing and
math disciplines and recruit more
math
and
science
teachers.
Lawmakers extensively debated and
amended legislation that would have
created those incentives but could not
reach agreement on the bills. Similar
measures arc expected to he considered during the 2008 session, including legislation that would require
Western Kentuck.')' University's new
Academy of Mathematics and
Science in Kentucky to participate in
the state accountability testing program and authoiizc the academy to
award diplomas.
Legislation that would help
increase the number of nontraditional
students auending college and universities in the state is also expected to
come before lawmakers next session.
Time and financial constraints often
make it difficult for these students-typically cla~sificd a<> students age 25
or older--to pursue a degree, affecting
the state's longtime policy goal of significantly increasing the education
attainment level of Kentucky's adults
by 2020. The General Assembly may
decide to increase funding lor adult
education, fund grants for studenL<;
enrolled less than half-time or make
other changes to improve the state's
chances of meeting that goal.

Wii is most-wanted widget in wintertime; winning one is work
by PETER SVENSSON
AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER
NEW YORK- Each holiday season, a couple hard to
lind toys send parents hunting
from store to store. And, each
season, they're soon forgotten:
Has your Elmo gotten any
tickles lately?
But this year, it looks like
the gift everybody is looking
for is the same as last year: the
Nintendo Wii.
A year after its launch, the
small video game console sells
out almost immediately when
it reaches stores, even after
Nintendo Co. has ramped up
production several times.
"Right now, if you work at
it. it's not too hard," said John
Lawrence, of Fort Worth,
Texas, who bought a Wii a few
weeks ago for his 9-year-old
grandson. lL took him some
online sleuthing to find one at
a local GameStop.
"People have not gotten
into the Christmas shopping
mode. Once people get into
that mindset, this is going to
be an impossibility as iL was
last year," Lawrence said.
With the Wii, Nintendo set
out make a console that would
entice people who were not
hardcorc gamers, and it has
succeeded. Janet Presti stood
an hour in line at Lhe Ninlendo
World Store in New York on
Tuesday last week to gel a Wii
for her three children, hut it
wasn'ljusl ror them.
"1 played it at my sister's
house and I loved it," she said.
Her household already has
three game consoles: an
Microsoft Xbox 360, a Sony
PlayStation 2 and a Nintendo
GameCube.
The Wii responds to the
user moving the wand-like
wireless controller, while other
consoles are controlled by a
confusing array of buttons and
joysticks. It also comes with
an array of casual, nonviolent
games that appeal to adults.
Sony and Microson have
cut the prices or their consoles
this fall, but continuing
demand lor the Wii has meam
Nintendo hasn't had to.
Perrin Kaplan, vice president of marketing and corporate affairs at Nintendo of
America, said the console was
"priced right from the beginning." A look at eBay shows
that Kaplan may be wrong:
New Wii systems are selling
about $100 above the $250
store price.
Some of the demand for
Wiis results f:i.-om trouble in the
toy indust1y, as wel1 as the
gadget's cross-generational
appeal.
"No one IS buying toys
right now because of the
recalls," said Gerrick Johnson,
a toy industry analyst al BMO
Capital Markets.
First, toys were recalled
because of lead paint and dangerous magnets. Then, A4ua
Dots - colored beads that
were making their way to
must-have status were
pulled because they were coated with a chemical that turned
into the date-rape drug gamma
hydroxy butyrate if swallowed.
"It's really unfortunate for
the toy industry, because the
lead issue was starting to subside, was getting off the front
page ... and then along come8
this. which 1s totally outrageous," Johnson said.
"Whoever thonght that
there'd be a day when parents
say 'Don't play with your dangerous toys, go play with your
video games'?" he a<;ked.
The .console has been a
tremendous
boost
for
Nintendo, which lost out to
Sony Corp. and Microsoft
Corp. in the last generation of
game consoles. Tn the quarter
ended Sept. 30, it more than
doubled its sales to $6.1 bil
lion from a year earlier, just
before the launch of tht; Wii. It
sold 5.5 million Wiis in the
U.S. since it went on sale on
last Nov. 17.
The stock market now values Nintendo at $75 billion,
compared to $48 billion for
Sony. which has six times the
revenue.
Nintcndo has increased the
pace of production, but
acknowledges that it won't be
able to satisfy holiday-season
demand.
"It's brand new technology.
so you can't build it on JUSt
an) line." said Nintcndo's
Kaplan.
In an interview last week,
Sony Chief Executive Howard
Stringer said the Wii shortages
were "a httle fortuitous." and
indicated lhal the PlayStalion
3 was poised to benefit from
the situation. U.S. sales of the
crmsolc doubled to 100,000
per week soon after an OcL 18
price cut, he said.
The issue of demand outstripping supply ha<; dogged
Nintendo with the DS handheld game as well, which
launched in 2004.

Tense, unpredictable 'No Country for Old Men' a return to form for .Coens
by CHRISTY LEMIRE
AP MOVIE CRITIC
Cormac McCarthy ami the
Coen brothers. H you stop to
think about it, it's a wonder
they've never learned up
before.
The revered writer and the
acclaimed movicmakers share
so much in corrunon: a love of
language, a drive to develop
rich characters, an appreciation lor the importance or a
vivid sense of place and an
innate ability to tell stories thaL
take you in directions you'd
never have expected from the
OUt'iet.
"No Country for Old Men"
marries the three men's
strengths in ways that are
deceptively simple and profoundly moving, set against a
harshly beautiful, seemingly
endless expanse of scrubbrushed West Texas. (Thanks
to the breathtaking work of a
fourth man, the Coens' longtime cinematographer - and
we say this all the time for a
reason the great Roger
Deakins.)
Trs vintage sLuff for the
writing-directing
brothers,
Joel and Ethan, a return to the
location or their 1984 debul,
"Blood Simple," and the tone
of their masterpiece, "Fargo."
It's their best work in a while
and it's probably going to end
up being the year's best movie.

This week's rental choices
were varied and surprisingly
good offering consumers a
wide field of choices .
• "Live Free or Die Hard"
-The third sequel to the 1Y88
Bruce Willis hit finds his New
York City detective pitted
against Internet based terrorists who make things personal
when they kidnap his teenage
daughter. This lime the stunts
arc bigger, which may distract
viewers from the sorter edge in
this PG-13 opus (a first for the
R-rated series). Timothy
Olyphant
("Deadwood")
makes for a villain worth hissing at and a cameo from Kevin
Smith (as a computer geck)
adds humor.
• "Hairspray"- Cult filmmaker John Waters ("Pink
Flamingos") achieved mainstream acceptance with the
original version of this film
which has since spawned a
Broadway musical which this
effort was adapted from. 1962
Baltimore remains the setting
for the story, which focuses on
a teenage girl dealing with
issues of popularity and obesity, as the city begins dealing
wiLh the serious problem of
racial segregation. The film
benefits from a strong sense of
place as well as a spirited cast
that includes John Travolta,
Christopher Walken and Jerry
Stiller (who also appeared in
"No Country for Old Men,"

Paramount Vantage release,

violence and some language.

ing much of the author's
rhythmically clipped, colorful
dialogue.
If you've read the book,
you'll be pleased with the
choices they've made; if you
haven'L, wail until after you've
seen the film to do so. Allow
yourself to be engrossed by its
unpredictability. You '11 think
you know what the mbvie is
about until the absolute last
shot in the tilm's boldly enigmatic conclusion which
will change your perception
about everything you've seen
in the preceding two hours.
(Not everyone is as fond of the
ending, hy the way. Whether
or not you respond favorably.
it'll definitely leave you thinking.)
Set in 1980, "No Country"
follows three va<>tly different
men tied together by a bigmoney drug deal gone wrong
- which sounds like a standard-issue genre picture. Tl's
anything hut.
Sporting Lhe same shaggy
mustache
he
wore
in
"American Gangster." Josh
Brolin is perfectly cast as
Llewelyn Moss, a stoic welder
and Vietnam veteran who
stumbles upon the botched
transaction's bloody aftermath, finds a briefcase stuffed
with $2 million and impulsively makes off with it. Brolin
presents a sort of rugged
everyman trying to get by,
blessed with more instincts
than brains. He's noL a bad
guy, just in over his head
besides, wouldn't you grab the
money, too? (And Kelly
Macdonald, as his wife, shows
more spark as the film goes
along than her sweetness
might initially indicate.)
Meanwhile, Javier Bardem
is chilling as Anton Chigurh,
the mysterious, murderous
psychopath stalking Llewelyn
to get the cash back. With his
oddly wholesome bowl haircut
and the coin he flips to give his
potential victims a chance to
bet on their lives. Bardem has
given us one or the great,
inspired turns of movie villainy. You have absolutely no
idea where he might go from
scene to scene with this quietly methodical yet wildly dangerous character, but you can
bet something bad will happen
once he gets there.
And Tommy Lee Jones is
the 1988 version). The songs
arc mostly cheety but nowhere
near as strong as the story,
which manages to juggle
humor and drama yet stay
focused on a heroine not typical
of American musicals.
•
"Rescue Dawn" Christian Bale ("Batman
Begins") drops some serious
weight to play a pilot shot
down and caplured during the
Vietnam conflict. Director
Werner Herzog stages this film
like a Hollywood action fest,
but it gets considerable depth
from the sheer virtue of the
fact that it actually happened
and was chronicled in a documentary (also made by
Herzog) 10 years ago. Bale
gets good support from Steve
Zahn ("Orange County") in a
rare dramatic tum.
• "Stir of Echoes 2: The
Homecoming" - Rob Lowe
stars in lllis beller than average
direct-to-video sequel that
traces the readjustment or an
Iraq wru· veteran. Lowe's character faces plenty of challenges which include guilt
over the death of a civilian he
was trying lo protect as well as
a hate-filled son who vents his
anger at all things Middle
Ea<;tern. Soon Lowe is also
confronted
with
strange
visions
and
blinding
headaches. which may have
something to due with his
wartime experience but trouble may be closer Lo home than
he thinks. Check this one out
but don't expect a similar
experience to the original
which boasted a tine turn by
Kevin Bacon.
Next week look for the
summer sleeper ''Waitress"
and Lindsay Lohan in "1 Know
Who Killed Me."

Women who
killed abusive
husbands
seeking
pardons
The Associated Press
FRANKFORT - A group
of women convicted of killing
abusive
husbands
and
boyfriends are seeking gubernatorial pardons or clemency.
The women were convicted
of manslaughter or murder
after long histories of domestic
violence, said Marguerite
Thomas, an attorney for the
Kentucky Department of
Public Advocacy.
The Kentucky Domestic
Violence Association and the
Department
of
Public
Advocacy asked Gov. Ernie
Fletcher to grant clemency for
nine women currently incarcerated in the Kentucky
Correctional Institution for
Women and Otter Creek
Correctional Center.
They
also
submitted.
requests for full gubernatorial
pardons on behalf of nine
women whose sentences were
commuted by former Gov.
Brereton Jones in 1995 and for
two other women who have
since been released from
prison.
"The criminal justice system wasn't geared to be able to
address the issues lhat these
women faced," Thomas said.
"This is not saying women
have a license to kHI men. This
is strictly confined to cases
where documentcJ abuse
existed."
The requests included more
than I ,400 signatures of people
wanting the governor to
review the cases and grant
clemency fot the incarcerated
women and full pardons for
the women who have already
been released.
· Thomas said the cases of
the nine currently incarcerated
women requesting clemency
have undergone intensive
review over the course of several years, and each petitioner
has a clear and compelling history of domestic violence that
led to her imprisonment.
Thomas said the number of
women being held in prisons
and jails nationwide has
increased 1 tO percent over the
past 10 years. She said most of
them have been physically or
sexually abused.
David Fleenor. Fletcher's
general counsel, said the
request<; will be given full consideration.

Floyd County high school students selected
for KSP 1 Drive To Stay Alive' program
!tJ
FRANKFORT - Heath
Tackett and Jeremy Osborne
from Betsy Lane High School
were two of thirty-two high
school students throughout the
state selected by Kentucky
State Police to participate in
the 'Drive to Stay Alive' program. The program ran from
November 11-14 and was held
at the KSP Training Academy
in Frankfort and Kentucky
Speedway in Sparta.
The 'Drive to Stay Alive'
program teaches the students
safe driving techniques by
Kentucky State Police instructors with hands-on road dri-
ving and classroom exercises.
The students receive four days
of intense drivers' training and
receive information about
other dangers, such as driving
impaired, seat belt safety, distracted and aggressive driving.
"The 'Drive To Stay Alive'
program was designed not
only to decrease teen crashes
but to provide them witll the
tools to be advocates in their
own communities about safe
driving,"
explains
KSP
Captain
Tim
Lucas,
Commander of the Highway
Safety Branch.
"The training includes top-
ics such as collision causation,
vehicle dynamics and skid
control, backing skills, multiple turns and lane interchange,
safety bells and air bags, evasive maneuvers, off-road
recovery, and controlled braking," added Lucas.
According to Lucas, the
real potential of the ·Drive To
Stay Alive' prognt. begins
after the students return to
their schools.
'The students are teamed
with an experienced state
trooper to spread the message
to the student body in each
school and to their community
as well," he says. "The effectiveness of the program is
based on the concept that a
message conveyed by a fellow
student carries more weight
with other students and is
therefore more memorable."
The students will be evaluated and scored on the safe driving programs they present to
their respective schools and
communities. The students
with the most e1Iective programs are eligible for scholarsbi(J funds. Their schools will
be rewarded as well.
Heath Tackett lives in
Floyd County and is the son of
Richard and Jessica Tackett of
Harold, Kentucky.
Jeremy Osborne also lives
in floyd County and is the son
of Carson and Brenda Osborne
of

Road crews already prepared for winter
Heath Tackett (above) and Jeremy Osborne (below) with KSP
Capt. Tim Lucas.
Last year was considered a mild winter.
The biggest snowfall reported was only 68 inches in scattered areas of District 12's
seven counties: Floyd, Pike, Knott,
Martin, Lawrence, Johnson, and Letcher.
There were no ice or hail storms.
Even so. it took $2,185,407 in material,
equipment, and labor to keep state highways and secondary roads safe for drjvers
in these seven counties. Floyd County has
311.338 miles of state highways and secondary roadways for' which it is responsible. Snow and lee Season nms from late
October to early April.
"The public expects safe roads regardless of weather conditions," said Danl
Hall, Chief District Engineer. "Any
amount of snow or ice poses a risk to driver safety. If we just waited until the snow
falls before we prepare to remove it, the
likelihood of property damage and personal injury,. not to mention loss of life
increases dramatically. That's why we
don't wait. We try to stay ahead of the
weather and beat it at it<> own game, as the
sayi11g goes."
The Transportation Cabinet places a
huge emphasis on snow and ice removal.
Why? "Snow and ice-covered roads are
more than an inconvenience," said Darold
Slone, Operations Branch Manager.
"There is always pote11tial for loss of life,
serious injuries to people, and loss of prop-
erty (mainly vehicles). Then there are ecpnomic losses to our communities. Workers
can't get to work. Shoppers stay home,
and businesses suffer. According to national statistics, accident rates rise as much as
1300% during. snow and ice events."
Slone's department is responsible for snow
and ice removal - labor, equipment, and
materials.
· Materials include rock salt, liquid calcium chloride, and salt brine. "District 12
makes its own salt brine,'' Slone pointed
out, "which is a huge benefit."
During the last Snow and Ice Season,
Floyd County used 1445 tons of rock salt,
8770 gallons of calcium chloride, and
11,270 gallons of salt brine. For every
two-lane mile, Floyd County used an average of 317 pounds of rock salt. Floyd
County has two maintenance garages, one
at Minnie, headed by Superintendent
Brady Conn, and one at Allen, headed by
Superintende11t Brian Hatfield. Each facility has its own salt dome, which are currently filled to capacity.
Above normal precipitation is predicted
for this year. "We don't know whether that
wi 11 be rain, hail, snow, icc, or a combination," Slone said, "Plus, predictions are
constantly updated. We have several radar
services we use, but the most reliable forecasts are often made by our own maintenance specialists, who have battled snow
and ice for decades and can almost always
tell you when a storm is on it" way. We
combine the official forecast<> with our
own experience and common sense, and in
most cases we are able to get ahead of the
weather with preventive measures such as
anti-icing."
As of November 1, Highway District
12 had on hand 22.579 tons of rock salt,
37.576 gallons of calcium chloride, 48,185
gallons of salt brine, and 11 tons of calcium pellets. All these materials are worth
$1,116,400.
"We are ready. Our operators are highly skilled specialists at snow and ice
removal. Even so, they go through rigorous annual training, which includes an
emphasis on safety first. Our ftrst goal is to
save lives and the second is to see bare
pavement," said Matt Moore, the maintenance engineer who was in charge of this
year's training program.
This is the first in a series of articles
about how Highway District 12 prepares
for winter in Floyd County. The next article deals with how operators are trained
and the steps they take to make sure their
equipment is safe and operating properly.

maybe some writers or some

'They're the derending national
champions and until somebody
beats them, they should be
ranked,'" Florida coach Billy
Donovan said Monday. "I think
that's sometimes how people
look at it.
·•r think we've done a good
job these first four games. Docs
it warrant us being in the Top
25? I don't think so. 1 think if
we're in the Top 25 a lot of it
has to do with what we've done
these first four games and a lot
of it has to do with what's happened the last couple years out
of respect for the team winning
the championships."
The Gators lost four starters
early to the NBA and two other
key players to graduation from
the group that won 68 games

"You can't lose sight of the fact

"The fact that (Johnson) goes

Hendrick said. "Chad's the same

"T just don't see anything that is

Hendrick was no fool when it
came to Gordon, locking him into

Johnson. who is signed through
2010.
"T want to do whatever T can to

"When you see somebody that

CHARLOTTE. N.C. Jimmie Johnson carried a

after winning his ~econd
Nextel Cup title, he promptly look care or busmess
To celebrate his first title

the morning after the finale

and wife Chandra had
returned from a night of
partying when they stopped
by the front desk to change
room keys. They wanted to
ensure Knaus & Co. could
not gain access to his room
this time. At precisely that
moment, the clerk stopped
to lake a phone call
"The guy is on the phone
saying. "Yes, Mr. Knaus,
we'll send a couple of
cheeseburgers right up,
room 3305,"' Johnson said.
"Chani and I just looked at
each other and said, ·This is
totally unbelievable. We are
totally getting him."'
The Johnsons hustled
hack to their own room,
where lhey promptly emptied the minibar of ''any-
thing that fizzed." Posing. as
room service, they knocked
on the door and attacked as
soon as Knaus opened it.
"We hammered him,"
Johnson said. "He couldn't
believe it, he was so
floored. We were chasing
him around the room, soakin_g him with everythtng we
had and (girlfriend) Bruna
had to dive behind the door

And all in good fun for a
driver-crew chief combo
that became the first team in
almost I 0 years to win consecutive Cup titles. The last
team to do so was Jell

A
n afternoon spent with the multi-talented Ray Riddle, of Blue River. and
one soon realites why hi<; new CD,
"From the Heart." is so appropriately titled. For,
Ray, though he pm.se~ses a quiet and unassuming nature, soon goes straight ro the heart of
thing~ once he begins to speak.
''I'm where 1 am today because of God." the
country musician said. "And you can put that rn
your article."
Not one to minimize life's struggles, Riddle
shares that he has had many in his life. "T know
what it means to be down and I know that I'm a
changed man today," he said.
Coming from a home in which no other family member played music, Riddle says that he
became interested in lcaming to play the guitar
as a teenager. "I pretty much taught myself. how
to play and sing," he said. "It's just something I
had a real interest in...I love music, I love playing it, T love singing it and T have the Lord
above and my f~unily to guide me along the
way."
Growing up in rural Jackson, Ohio, Riddle's
songs speak of summer days at play and long
hours spent working the fields, as well as those
that tell of tho~e. in later years. of heartache and
struggle. Listening to the songs recorded on
From the Heart, the listener gams a sense of
coming lo know Ridule through his muste; a
feeling that is verified in Riddle's statement that
"When you hear my songs, you're living my
life."
"Every song T write is straight from the
heart," Riddle said. And that, undoubtedly, is
why they leave such a lasting impression on the
listener.
Riddle, who pun;hased his first guitar for ten
dollars as a young boy, sa1d that he really came

Chantix - tiew stop smoking
drug- may be helpful to reader
Martha A Simpson, no, M.B.A.
Asto&iate Professor
bfFg,m~ Medkine
Q
uestion: Last week I participated in the Great'
American Smokeout and
dec
quit smoking for more
than just the one· day smvkeout. So
far, after one week, I'm still off the
smokes, bur I'm afraid I might give
in to temptation. A friend of mine
said there's a nev.. drug that you can
take that really helps reduce the urge
to smoke. He also said if you
smoked while on this drug you
would not get the usual "kick" that
smokers enjoy. Can you tell me the
name of this drug? How good is it?
nswer: You are to qe commended for your participation in the Great
A
American Smokeout. This annual
event, sponsored hy the American
Cancer Society, has been very successful over the years in promoting
the stop smoking message.
Yes, there arc several drugs that
can help people with their stopsmoking efforts. The one you are
talking about I believe, is Chantix.
This new quit-smoking aid received
governmental approval last year. lts
active ingredient is varenicline Lartratc -- an innovative molecule
developed by Pfizer. I think it might
be worth a try in your case.
Chantix works by binding to
receptor sites in the brain where
nicotine normally binds. This may
help people wishing to quit smoking
in two ways. First, it provides some
of the same effects as nicotine,
which can help case the withdrawal
symptoms that many who try to quit
experience. Second, i r a person
using Chantix falters and lights up a
cigarette, Chantix may block the
nicotine from binding to those sites.
This can prevent the "nicotine rush"
that smokers typically experience.
Chantix was approved by the
Food and Drug Mministration more
quickly than most drugs because of
its potential positive impact on public health. Tobacco use- particularly
cigarette smoking - is the single
most preventable cause of death. In
addition to lung cancer, it's been
linked to cancers of the oral cavity,
pharynx, larynx, esophagus, bladder,
stomach, cervix, kidneys and pancreas. Smoking is also a leading
cause or diseases ooch as Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(COPD) emphysema, and high
blood pressure.
Though Chantix is not a miracle
cure for smoking addiction, it docs
seem to help many people who are
serious in their desire to quit. Before
the approval of Chantix six clinical
trials were conducted with a total of
more than 35,000 chronic smokers.
In five studies Chantix was shown Lo
be superior to giving subjects a
"sugar pill," or placebo. Tn two studies Chantix was able to help more
smokers give up the habit than
Zyban. another quj,t/smoking med/
ication.
Tn these studies, Chantix was
generally well tolerated by patients.
The mosl common side effect was
nausea, which affects about three
percent of those taking the drug. For
the next three most common side
effects - changes in dreaming,
headache and insomnia - the incident rate for the group getting
Chantix was not significantly different from that of the group receiving
the placebo drug.
If you decide you'd like to try
Chantix tu help in your light against
the smoking Habit, I'd suggest that
you talk with your family physician.
The initial treatment is a 12-wcck
course of taking the medication.
Then, if you are successful in quilting, your doctor may prescribe an
additional 12 weeks to increase the
likelihood of long-term success.

together," he said. "l'd like to
tour a little bit, make a
gospel CD .. .I just want people to hear my music and the
story I have to tell." Riddle
says that he also wants his
next venture to be recorded
in Kentucky, unlike From the
Hearl, which he traveled to ·
California to record. ''You
know, I wrote the music here,
1 want the music to be done
here."
Though Riddle classilies
himself as a country/rockabilly musician, he say~> that
he "really enjoys all kinds of
music." "Twas raised on the
Eagles, Bread. those 70s
bands and sounds, so I like
.all types of music ...except for
rap, I don't care much for
that," he said.
"A changed man," as he
describes himself in his own
>vordt, Riddle says that he
enjoys spending his days
"tinkering around" his property and crafting a few items
from wood such as the birdhouses, flower containers.
and rustic baskets one takes ·
note of strolling along his
front yard. As the lyrics to
''I'm Just a Country Boy"
portray: "T don't need a mansion...! like living in 1l1c
country, silting on a back
porch, watching mama's
rocking babies, listening to
tbe robin's song .. .I'm just a
country boy, that's how I was
raised. I'll stay a country boy,
till they put me in my grave."
Riddle is a man who enjoys
the simple delights of life
and the comforts of home
and family. "My wife.
Tammy, is the main reason
l'm the man 1 am today," he
said. "I owe a lot to her, I
owe my life Lo her. And T
owe a lot to my biggest fan,
Mary Riddle, my mother. My
mother always supported me
in my music."
"1f there's one thing 1 can
share with the people out
there," Riddle said. "it's that
there's a higher power than
anybody knows and that's
God. and I'm a living testa
menl to thai power.
"If it weren't for the Lord,
I wouldn't even be able 10
write these songs. 1 encourage all the young kids out
there wanting to make music
to look in that direction," he
said.
Riddle's CD "From the
Heart," can be purchased
locally at a few selected
stores, or online by logging
onto: myspaec.cornirayriddleband.
Riddle is also in the
process of recording a
Christmas CD that he hopes
to have available soon to the
public.

What
Christmas
Means To Me
By Trey Dameron
Christmas is a great time for me. It is a
time for giving and sharing. The Holiday
Christmas is the birth of Christ. The kids in
Iran and Iraq, what about them? They can't
have a Christmas. They don't know who God
is. Their leader tells them there is no God and
no birth of Christ.
Limited Time Speciall..ease!
If it was up to me, I would become a
missionary and teach them about Jesus our
Savior. He is the one who gives us this world
and the blood and life in all of us. He is the
Holy Ghost that we worship as our Father
and Savior God. He is the one that hung on
the cross and died for our sins.

If the people in Iran and [raq would study
the Bible about Jesus and if their leader
would tell them the real meaning of
Christmas, then they would enjoy the holiday ca11ed Chri~tmas like some Americans.
I would love for them to enjoy the things
that we do during the Christmas such as giving and receiving gifts and singing carols
instead of setting in the house scared to death
about the war going on outside their home.

The Wheelwright
Community is mourning the loss of a businessman and city commissioner after he
died during a ·Pike County car accident
Saturday morning.
Timothy Hall, 45 of Wheelwright, was
pronounced dead after a single-car accident at Dorton, According to Kentucky
State Police Post 9, Hall was traveling
northbound on U.S. 23 when his 1999
Lincoln Navigator crossed the median,
striking an embankment and overturning.
Hall was pronounced dead at the scene
by Pike County Coroner Russel'l Roberts.
The incident remains under investigation
by Tpr. Melissa Hampton.
Co-owner of Hall's Supply, Hall also
took office as Wheelwright city commissioner Jan. l. Hall's seat on the commission will be hard to fill, say city officials.
"He wa<; a very easy person to work with,"
said Mary Ann Slone, Wheelwright City
Clerk. "Tim was just a very special person."
Hall is survived by his wife, Teresa
Johnson Hall and son Timothy Matthew
Hall, both of Wheelwright, and parents
Zenith and Nora Jones, of Bevinsville.

It's time to recall Nancy Nord.
The acting chief of the Consumer Product Safety
Commission was weak-kneed in dealing with a series of
recalls of tainted products made overseas last summer. And
she has acknowledged accepting free trips worth thousands of
dollars from the very industries she is supposed to be watchmg.
Nord and her predecessor, Hal Str tton, claim they were
sharing information with industry leaders about commission
priorities and discussing toy safety. They defend their trips as
a way to stay in contact with manufacturers and to hear their
CQncerns.
.. Haven't they heard of the telephone? E-mail?
Teleconferencing?
The Washington Post reported that records showed nearly
30 trips since 2002 by Nord and Stratton that were paid for in
full or in part by trade associations or manufacturers of products ranging from space heaters to disinfectants.
Perhaps we'd be more forgiving if Nord was doing a bangup job as acting chairman. But she was slow to react to the
spate of problems with toys and other products imported from
China. And the scares keep coming: last II'.onth, fake
Halloween teeth tainted with lead; last week, a toy contaminated with the date-rape drug.
Nord can't be blamed for the inability of the Chinese to
police themselves. But she even opposed a measure that
would have added staff to the commission. She opposes provisions in the bill that would extend protections to whistle-blowe and make it easier for the government to make public
r~orts of shoddy products.
We'd agree with the assessment offered by Ann Brown,
who chaired the commission during the Clinton administration:
"Acting Chairman Nord is totally wrongheaded in her
approach. She's forgotten that it's the Consumer Product·
Safety Commission, not the Business Product Safety
Commission."

you to the Kentucky
of Medicine (KIOM) and the
for recent reports about th'e
of physicians in Kentucky.
Comprehensive
Statewide
,.,,.,,,._.£"• Workforce Study prepared
KlOM Task Force presents
evidence regarding this
IJIIJ'v•,,u •. I encourage your readers to
the Web site of the KIOM at
org and read the entire
Very few issues are as imporas this one in terms of impact on
future of Kentucky's economy and
of life. ,
Fortunately, there is some good
to report, as a special medical
in the mountains of East
has been making significant
on this problem. The
College
School
of
ieopathic Medicine has been workfor the last 10 years to help allevithe shortage of primary care physis in rural Kentucky.
Osteopathic medicine (D.O.), like
allopathic medicine (M.D.), provides
fully-qualified and licensed physicians who serve in a variety of settings, from f~ly practice in small
' towns to specialists at the largest hospitals and research institutions.
Osteopathic medicine's overall philosophy, however, tends to attract students who are more interested in primary care, which is the greatest need
in rural Kentucky and Central
Appalachia. As noted in the Task
Force report, D.O.'s are more likely
than M.D.'s to select family practice
as a specialty (46 percent vs. 11 percent) and to practice in rural areas
(18.1 percent vs. ll.5 percent).
The Pikeville College School of
Osteopathic Medicine (PCSOM)
opened in the fall of 1997, accepting
60 students in its first class. The
school has trained more than 400
physicians in the first seven graduating classes. And, with early success,
enrollment has subsequently been
raised to 75 per class, so 300 students
are currently engaged in study to
become osteopathic physicians.
The establishment of this new
medical school was the result of the
hard work of a number of visionary
Dr. Boyd Buser
leaders, including Governor Paul
Patton, Burlin Coleman and the
founding . dean, the late Dr. John
Strosnider, as well as the extraordinary generosity of Paintsville attorney
G. Chad Perry and others.
The mission of PCSOM is to
recruit students primarily from rural
Kentucky and Central Appalachia,
train them in rural Kentucky and
Central Appalachia, and encourage
them to stay in the region to serve
their neighbors. As planned, many of
the physicians have in fact stayed in
the region after completing their
study. Approximately 150 of the 400
new physicians have finished their
residence requirements and started
practiCing medicine. Since the first
graduates of PCSOM entered practice
in 2004, more than 60 new physicians
have opened offices within a two-hour
drive of Pikeville. Several more have
located in rural communities in
Western Kentucky and throughout
Appalachia. Approximately 90 percent of PCSOM graduates are working in primary care; and 80 percent
have located in medically underserved
areas.
Importantly, our students and
alumni are receiving high praise from
the physicians and healthcare administrators with whom they work.
PCSOM students and alumni stand
out for their commitment and care for
patients as ''whole" persons.
One great asset for keeping these
physicians in Kentucky has been a
program established by the Kentucky
General Assembly, which provides a
student loan program that includes
forgiveness for each year Kentucky .
residents remain in Kentucky and
practice after finishing their medical
study. This modest investment of a little over a million dollars of coal sev-
')
erance tax funds each year is helping
many physicians stay in rural
Kentucky. We certainly believe it is a ,
wise investment of the taxpayers'
resources.
A new physician's impact on the
quality of life and economy of a small
town in Kentucky is tremendous.
Researchers say a new physician has a
$2 million annual economic impact.
creating 16 to 25 new jobs and providing $1.5 million in new income for
their referring hospital. One need look
no further than the significant growth
and expanded quality services at the
Pikeville Medical Center and other
hospitals and medical centers in the
region over the last few years to see
the economic impact of the new
physicians. By forging strong partnerships with healthcare professionals in
Pikeville and across East Kentucky.
we have helped create a new region
where quality healthcare is readily
available. As a result of these partnerships, the economy has been strengthened by the creation of hundreds oi
new high-paying jobs.
We realize there is much more
· work to be done to provide an adequate number of primary care physicians for rural Kentucky and Central
Appalachia. We are working daily
with the University of Kentucky, the
University of Louisville, other medical schools, hospitals and medical
centers throughout Kentucky and
Appalachia, to help fill this need. We
know the Pikeville model work~. and
other medical schools from
Blacksburg, Virginia to Yakima.
Washington - are following out
example.
We applaud the work of the
Kentucky Institute of Medicine's Task
Force in preparing the Comprehensive
Statewide Physician Workforce Study.
and we endorse the recommendations
contained in the report. We hope policy leaders in our Commonwealth will
continue to support this effort as we
move forward together with our programs. While we still have much work
to be done, we are certainly making a
solid contribution toward reducing the
predicted "Doctor Drought" in rural
Kentucky and Central Appalachia.

Plea deal brings 15-year sentence for trafficking
by JENNIFER LAWSON
STAFF WRITER
PRESTONSBURG - One of the longest
drug trafficking sentences as the result of a plea
, agreement was recommended Friday for a
'.fMartin man.
It was in June that Millard Ray Conn, 58, of
Arkansas Creek, was indicted on two counts of
first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance. According to Commonwealth's
Attorney Brent Turner, on Jan. 4, an informant
purchased six methadone tablets for $60, and
on Feb. 27 purchased .26 grams of cocaine for
$50.
Conn is a persistent felony offender and was
received a 10-year sentence in 2002 for u·afticking charges but was released on parole
before completion.
Conn pleaded guilty to the trafficking
charges Friday in Floyd Circuit Court in
exchange for a 15-year sentence, which Tuner
will recommend to the parole board that he
serve to completion.
"I hope the parole board will take his drug
trafficking charges more seriously," said
Turner. "There should be some distinction made
between him, who has a record, and someone
who doesn't."
A final sentencing will be held on Dec. 14.
In a separate case, an eight-year sentence
was recommended for Jimmy Spears, who
pleaded gui lty to both drug trafficking and drug
possession charges.
.
_,
According to Turner, undercover Kentucl<;y
State Police officers purchased cocaine fro~
Spears and he was indicted on the charges m
June.
It was recommended that Spears receive an
eight-year sentence for the trafficking charge
and three years for possession. However, t.he
sentences will run concurrently.
A final sentencing will be held for Spears
Dec. 21.

BSCTC students, on both the
Prestonsburg and Pikeville
campuses, were treated to a
Thanksgiving meal of turkey
and dressing and all the trimmings.
"It's our way of letting our
students know that we appreciate them," said Billie Jean
Cole, associate dean of student
affairs.
"It was a lot of work," said
Nellie Baldwin, manager of
the campus grill, "but it was
worth it, to do it for the students. We baked 28 turkeys
and we cooked for two days.
We put in some long hours, but
we've enjoyed doing it."
"On a day dedicated to giving thanks of what you already
have, it's good to have the college promoting these values,"
said BSCTC student Shane
Spencer.
The students were served,
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., by college staff and personnel. Many
took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather to
enjoy their meals outside,
while others made meny with
friends at specially decorated
tables set up in the campus
atrium.
In addition to Cole,
Baldwin and the kitchen staff,
others helping to make the
project a success included
Vera Joiner, director of student
activities; Melinda Justice,
director of student services;
and
Jeff
Hicks,
counselor/assistant professor.

The truth is Registered Nurses at ARH Hospitals went on
strike to protect patient safety. ARH officials refused our
repeated requests to stop its practice of chronic understaffing
and forced overtime.
Almost every Registered Nurse on strike at ARH Hospitals
was born and raised here in the mountains of Eastern
Kentucky. We love these mountains and the people who call
them home more than any ARH corporate official living in
Lexington ever could. After all, our patients are our family,
our friends, our neighbors.
Registered Nurses are striking at ARH Hospitals because
we want to remain true to John L. Lewis' vision of affordable,
quality healthcare in the mountains and that means putting
patient safety- YOUR SAFETY- first.
It is impossible for Registered Nurses at ARH Hospitals to
provide the quality of care you and your family deserve because of the unsafe staffing levels and mandatory overtime
policies that currently exist there.

.State unemployment rate down in October
FRANKFORT
Kentucky's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell
from 6.l percent in September
2007 to 5.6 percent in October
2007. according to the Office
of Employment and Training
(OET), an agency of the
Kentucky Education Cabinet.
October 2006 ·s jobless rate
was 5.7 percent.
The U.S. seasonally adjusted jobless rate remained at 4.7
percent from September 2007
to October 2007, according to
, the U.S. Department of Labor.
Four of the 11 major nonfarm job North American
Industry Classification System
(NAICS) sectors reported
employment increases in
October 2007. while six
decreased, and one was
unchanged, according to OET.
A decrease of 100 jobs in
October
2007
brought
Kentucky's nonfarm employment to a seasonally adjusted
total of 1,856.500. Since
October 2006, Kentucky's
nonfarm employment has
increased by 12,500.
According to the seasonally
adjusted employment data, the
government sector. which
includes public education,
added 1.900 jobs in October
2007. Since October 2006, this
sector has risen by 4,000 jobs.
The tinancial activities sector grew by 400 jobs in
October 2007. This segment,
which includes businesses
involved in finance, insurance,
real estate and property leasing
or rental, has added 1,700 jobs
over the past 12 months.
"The financial activities
sector gained overall; however, real estate and rental busi-
ncsscs lost l 00 jobs in October
2007.
This
employment
decrease is re11ective of weakness 111 the housing market and
the credit crunch. Both of
these factors act to reduce
mortgage and home-equity
loan applications," said Justine
Detzel, OET chief labor market analyst.
The employment fi gure in
the natural resources and mining sector rose by 300 jobs
from September 2007 to
October 2007. Since October
2006, the segment has risen by
600 jobs.
The state's other services
sector, which includes such
establishments as repair and
maintenance · businesses, personal and laundry services,
religious organizations, and
civic and professional organizations, gained 300 jobs in
October 2007. This area had
900 more jobs in October 2007
than in October 2006.
The number of jobs in the
professional and business services sector was unchanged
from September 2007 to
October 2007. This area had
3,900 more employees in
October 2007 than in October
2006. The professional and
business
services
sector
includes professional, scientific and technical services, management of companies and
administrative and support
management, including. temporary help agencies.
Kentucky's educational and
health
services
sector
decreased by 1,000 jobs in
October 2007. Since last
October, thi s segment has
gained 2,500 jobs. This sector
includes private and nonprofit
establishments that provide
either education and training,
or health care and social assistance to their clients.
'The majority of job losses
in the educational and health
services sector occurred in
health care and social assistance businesses and primarily
resulted from a strike at a
major hospital chain," Detzel
said.
The manufacturing sector
recorded 800 fewer jobs in
October 2007 compared to
September 2007. Compared to
October 2006, jobs in the sector were down by 4,200 in
October 2007.
"Both the durable and nondurable goods subsectors of
the manufacturing sector experienced employment losses,
but the majority of the decline
was in non-durable goods such
as clothing. In an effort to
make ends meet, consumers
are cutting spending on nonnecessities to compensate for
rising energy prices," Detzel
said.
The construction sector
declined by 600 positions in
October 2007. Since October
2006, employment in this job
area has gone up by 700.
The leisure and hospitality
sector lost 300 jobs in October
2007 . Since October 2006,
employment in the sector has
increased by 1,700 positions.
The leisure and hospitality
sector includes arts, entertainment, recreation, accommodations, and food services and
drinking places industries.
"The decline in leisure and
hospitality employment is
reflective of consumers cutting discretionary spending in
response to the credit crunch,
housing slump and rising ener
gy prices," said Detzel.
Kentucky's trade. trans portation and utilities sector
had 200 fewer jobs in October
2007. This area includes retail
and wholesale trade, transportation and warehou sing
businesses, and utilities, and is
the largest sector in Kentucky
with 378',500 employees.
Since October 2006, the number of jobs in this sector has
increased by 400.
The information sector
reported I 00 fewer job in
October 2007.'This segment,
which includes firms involved
in publishing, Internet activities, and broadcasting and
news syndication, had 300
more jobs in October 2007
than a year -ago.
Unemployment statistics
are based on estimates and are
compiled to measure trends
rather than actually to count
people working.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics' monthly estimate of
the number of employed

Walz
• Continued from pl
worrit.:d because of the prepwork. In Febmary the attitude
~
'let\ wait.' I was in no
huNy.''
Right hefore that, around
Feb. 18 or 19. the Lexington
newspaper had a story outlining
the symptoms of colon cancer.
'I didn't say anything to my
wife. but of 10 symptoms. I
thought 'I've got eight of
these,"' Walz confessed. The
day before the colonoscopy he
told Julie of his fears.
That same day, March 7, his
brother called and said Tve got
kid'-iley cancer.'
"I don't remember anything
abqut it; I don't remember anylhiilg I was so out of it,'' Mark
recalls of his colonoscopy on
March 8.
The doctor was talking to
him afterward and said they
t k an X-ray to '"see if it
spread."
Mark's reaction was "what
spread?"
Julie asked him: "Do you
remember the doctor telling you
that you have cancer?"
"That was such a blow ...
You think how can this happen'?'' he <;aid. adding there was
nu famil:> history of cancer.
"Apd now my •oldest brother
and I have it."
But the news got worse, not
only did he have colon cancer
but: it had spread to the liver.
He said that was ·'devastatnews.··
Walz says he's been around
people with cancer all of his life
as a chaplain at Pikeville
Medical hospital for 10 years
but he never thought about having cancer himself.
~'This happened so quickly,"
h ,·"aid. "I didn't have time to
prepare spiritually. mentally or
emotional! y."
"After my diagnosis I said 'l
hope you know what you· re getting into."' he said.
"It's a life-changing event."
Walz said he was soon flooded with all or these terms with
which he wa-.n 't familiar.
"It's a whole new lingo that
I've learned," he says, giving
the example of 'Ned' meaning,
"No evidence of disease."
"Cancer patients have to be
proactive,"' he said. ''if not, it is
very difficult to get help."
Walz also says you must ask
questions.
"All these doctor tiiends of
mine said 'get yourself a good
oncologist and fight it,"' Walz
recalls.
Luckily he had a 'doctor
fiiend' who did find him a good
doctor: Dr. Phillip DeSimone, at
UK.
''I was fortunate to get him,"
he says.
Walz explams that the doctor
prepares treatment plans and
chemotherapy plans and also
recommends a radiation specialist.
The last time Walz had to go
through surgery he was prepared and found a doctor in
Charlotte, N.C. That surgeon
was a liver specialist, one of
only tive or six on the East
Coast.
Normally, jaundice will
occur when people have similar
surgeries on their liver. but Walz
was lucky. "The doctor said
'Basically you're really hcaJthy
except for your cancer,"' he
says. "I try to keep focusing on
day-to-day rather than the big
picture.'"
"T think keeping a positive
attitude is key to this whole
process," he says. "One thing I
always heard and I didn't undcrstand was when people would
say 'They fought a courageous
battle .. .' "Now I know what that
means"
Walz satd there are very few
hours of the day that he doesn't
think of his situation.
"Lots of people want to
know how much time they
have." Walz says, "I never asked
that question because I didn't
want to know. Tthink not knowing has helped me."
Wal:1 said somebody told
him: "You have to get your
affairs in order."
Walz however, took a different approach.
"What's the next step?" he
wondered. "Every time you
fight this hmrible unseen disease you think 'I'm going to
beat this,· 'I'm not going to let
this disease win.,.,
Indeed, the last 30 months
have been an unending cycle of
surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
Walz hac; had five surgeons,
58 treatment<; of radiation and
eight months of chemotherapy.
My oncologist told me 'I
hope to get you 60 months' and
I thought 'I want to get more
than 60 months.'
As a pastor, Walz still comes
across many people who are
diagnosed with cancer. He said
many people's response is: Woe
is me.
"I don't sit in a room watching TV," he says. "You need to
rest, you are doing too much,''
arc the typical comments he
often hears.
Less than five days after his
most recent surgery in Charlotte
he was up and walking around
the neighborhood. His hosts
were shocked.
"I've got to get out," he said.
'To me that's what I've got to
do."
Mark and Julie have five
kids: Matthew. a fourth-grader,
Christine, an eighth-grader,
Michael, a sophomore in high
school, Katie, a senior. and
Mark Jr., a communications
maJOr at Mark's alma mater,
Asbury College.
''I didn't push him into it,"
Mark <>wears.
Julie is working on her ma'iter's degree in special educatiOn.
"My kids keep me going," he
says. "l go to soccer games and
we often go bn trips."
Last fall the family went to
Niagara Falls. They've also
been to New York City recently.
Mark says it's all about keeping
a positive attitude and not giving
in.
After a CT scan in March,
everything appeared well so the
family dectded to go to the
beach.
"My 13-year-old girl said
'I'm so glad we went to the
beach when we did'"
Since maintaining a website
to keep loved ones and friends
informed of his battle, he's had a
number of surprising responses.
One woman named Jean told
Mark how he's affected her life.
"''m thinking 'how can I
possible help someone I've
never met?"' he says. "I don't
have any idea where she even
lives."
She told him that his positive
attitude is what's helped her the
most. But still Mark questioned
how that wa~ possible.
''That's maybe why I'm
doing so well," he says. "God
has a purpose for me and right
now I've been called to help
these people.''
Walz says the calls and emails never cease to amaze him.
"A pastor in June called to
say 'it's so encouraging to see
how you have your faith and
you don't give up,"' Mark says.
Another pastor, at one of the
largest Methodist churches in
Nashville, called Walz for
advice.
'That to me is real humbling," he said. "You have people struggling with life and
death issues ... "
Walz says it's never easy.
The chemotherapr takes away
his taste for chocolate and coffee; it also leaves a tingling sensation in his fingers.
"I've had to wear gloves at a
restaurant. That's so embarrassing."
But still Walz continues to
show that spirit that has helped
so many other cancer victims.
"''m a believer in miracles,"
he says. "I trust that God is
going to help get me healed."

Mark's battle you can visit

t were never discussed. We
have never walked away from
a negotiation. The meeting just
ended."
~ccording to Tanner, the
negotiations
are
going
nowhere
because
their
resources are being exhausted.
··we re tired of answering
untrue
information
from
A~H,"" said Tanner.
ARH President and CEO
y Haynes says ARH is
u ware of the proposed meetin with the governor, when
the meeting will take place, or
who will be mvol ved in the
meeting. According to Tanner,
the union was invited by Gov.
Manchtn to meet this morning
at 9 a.m. However, she adds
that the results are unclear.
The KNAIWVNA presented proposal focused on successorship and seniority to
ARH Tuesday morning and, as
of press time, Tanner was in
I:.exington awaiting an additional meeting.
This is the third phase of
negotiations since over 600
nurses walked out declaring a

Police officials in Frankfort for
further testing, but no additional information was discovered.
Gilbert had also been previously involved with a sexual
abuse charge and was participating in a sex offender treatm Hl program. According to
monwealth's
Attorney
Brent Turner, it is required that
an(one who is convicted of a
sex crime in the state of
Kentucky to participate in the
program.
Gilbert was originally
charged with 30 counts of distribution of matter portraying a
se ual performance of a minor,
th ugh the charges were later
a ndcd to possession of mattcr portraying a sexual performance of a minor, since there
was no proof that he had ever
ac ually distributed the photos.
, hile each charge holds a
I .o-5 year sentence, there was
the possibility of the charges
beh1g enhanced due to the fact
that Gilbert had been previously convicted. However. a sentence of seven years total was
recommended along with
completion of the sex offender
treatment program.
A final sentencing date is
scheduled for Dec. 27.

EASTERN - Ten girls' high
school basketball teams from
around the region squared off
Saturday at Allen Central High
School. The Panorama named for
the late T.J. Compton, featured all
of the Floyd County girls' high
school basketball teams pitted
against 14th Region and 15th
Region opponents.
In the first game of action, East
Ridge jumped out to 16-4 first
quarter lead before Prestonsburg
went on a 23-8 scoring run in the
second quarter to lead at the half
27-24.
The Lady Blackcats went on to
outscore the Lady Warriors 25-20
during the second half and win
52-44.
Brittany Collins led the scoring for Prestonsburg with 17
points. She was joined in double
figures by teammates Lyndsey
Fields and Hannah Fitzpatrick
who collected 13 and 11 points,
respectively.
Brittany Swindall and point
guard Hollie McCarty combined
for 31 points to lead the way for
East Ridge.
In Game 2, Sheldon Clark - a
team out of the 57th District took on South Floyd. Pressure
defense allowed the Lady
Cardinals to take a 18-7 lead at
the end of the first quarter.
Sheldon Clark went on to win 7241.
Patience Brewer pumped in 24
points to lead all scorers.
In Game 3, host Allen Central
and June Buchanan squared off
what was probably the closest
game of the day as neither team
led by more than six points
through out the game. June
< Buchanan took advantage of the
ltJ size differnce during the first half
and with a balaaced scoring
attack, lead the Lady Rebs 22-20
at the half.
"We felt at the half, we had to
pick up the intensity on their ballhandlers," said Allen Central
Coach Mark Martin. "Due to their
size if they were able to set up and
look imide to the big girls in a
half-court situation we were
going to struggle."
Allen Central went to an all out
press during the second half and it
paid off for the Lady Rebs. Both
teams continued to swap baskets
University of Kentucky men's basketball players from v~rious decades reunited recently in Stanton at the home
of Harold Hurst. Floyd County resident Pete Grigsby was among those in attendance. Grigsby, who played for legendary head coach Adolph Rupp, helped to organize the event. Joe B. Hall, another former Wildcat head coach,

Men's College Basketball: Louisville 84, Jackson State 5 3"
by WILL GRAVES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE- Louisville forward Earl Clark just laughs when
talking about the wide-eyed freshman
who looked lost on the floor at times
last year
Clark says he's grown up now,
more comfortable. He certainly
looked at ease while putting together
the finest game of his young career in
Louisville's 84-53 win over Jackson
State on Sunday.
,- Clark scored 20 points to go with
14 rebounds and seven assists while
showcasing the all-around play that
coach Rick Pitino thinks will land
Clark in the NBA one day.
Not so fast, said Clark. After
spending most of last season trying to
find himself in Pitino's demanding
system, he's only too happy to focus
on the present and not worry about
what lays down the road.
"Last year, everything just carne so
fast," Clark said. "I wanted success
too early. I didn' t want to go through
what all freshmen go through. I was
just looking to come in (and star) but
it was a stage that I had to go through
and I went it. Now I just want a
chance to get a lot of minutes and
make my teammates better."
Andre McGee matched his careerhigh with 18 points and Detrick
Caracter had 11 points and eight
rebounds as Louisville (2-0) had little
trouble with the Tigers (0-4).
A day after Terrence Williams
recorded the third triple-double in
school history, Clark nearly matched
the feat. Feeding teammates from the
high post, he hit cutters driving to the
basket and looked comfortable handling the ball in the open floor.
"I just wanted to get my teammates
involved," Clark said.
Louisville center David Padgett
scored nine points in 1 ~ minutes
before leaving the game late in the
first half after injuring his right knee
while setting a pick. He limped to the
training room and spent the second
half watching from the bench with his
knee wrapped in ice.
Padgett underwent surgery on both
knees following the 2005-06 season,
but should be available Wednesday
when the Cardinals play at UNLV.
Though Clark struggled to find his
shot early, he made up for it by attacking the basket and getting to the free
throw lipe, something he rarely did
last year· as a skinny freshman.
"Something just clicked," Clark
said. "I'm just out there reacting now.
I'm not thinking too much."
The hot shooting that led the
Cardinals to a 35-point rou t of
Hartford on Saturday abandoned
them against the Tigers. Louisville
shot just 43 percent from the field and
made just six 3-pointers agains t
16 less than the
Jackson State school-record 22 they poure d in
against the Hawks.

it's not enough, the No. 8

turnaround this season.

W'ith a 24- 13 victory over
22nd-ranked Kentucky on
'S aturday, rallying from an

one of the country's highestscoring teams.
"We surprised a lot of people," said defensive end
Marc us Howard, who had
two sacks . " This wasn ' t a
rebuilding year. This was a
reloading year."
Knowshon Moreno ran for
124 yards and Kelin Johnson
set up the go-ahead score
with a blocked punt, helping
the Bulldogs finish off a stirring, emotional run through
the second half of their SEC
~hedule.
It looked as though
Georgia would wrap ·up the
Etast title when Tennessee fell
behind 24-9 at home to
Vanderbilt. But the Vols rallied for 16 points in the fourth
~arter and a 25-24 victory
that kept them in control of
the East race.
Now, the Bulldog s have to

ure o ut they weren't going to make
every shot. T hey looked lackadaisical
early on, allowing the Tigers to stay
within three late in the first hal f.
"Coach told us we weren't going
to make everything and we needed to
get the intensity up," McGee said.
"We know it starts with our defense
and we j ust wanted to push the

With Clark and McGee leading the
way, Louisv ille overpowered the

The Cardinals, who looked ~loppy

way and kicked the winning
field goal as time expired.
They've looked unbeatable
since then, scoring 40 points
in three straight games including wins over Florida
and Auburn - then beating
Kentucky with perhaps their
best defensive effort of the
season.
"Somehow, we turned it
around," said Georgia's Mark
Richt, who became only the
eighth major-college coach to
win 70 games in his first
seven seasons. "I'll have to
look back one of these days
and figure out how it happened."
While the Wildcats (7-4,
3-4) already had been eliminated from a shot at playing
in the SEC championship
game, they were trying to win
out and claim at least a share
of the division crown .
But their potent offense,
averaging more than 37
points a game, couldn't take
advantage of two interceptions and two fumbles by the
Bulldogs.
Georgia's defense saved
the day, holding Kentucky to
its lowest output of the season, despite spotting the
Wildcats a 10-0 lead, and
helping avenge a 24-20 loss
in Lexington last season.
Andre Woodson, who
came in with an SEC-leading
29 touchdown passes and just
seven interceptions, had a
rough afternoon
again st
Georgia's bhtzing defense.
He was 24 of 41 for 268
yards. managed only one TD
pass and was sacked five
times .
" Woodson is probably a
first-round
draft
pick,"
Howard said. "But he wasn ' t
going to look like a firstrounder on our watch."
The Bulldogs came up
with two huge stops in the
fourth quarter of their home
finale.
First, with the Wildcats
facing third-and-4 at the
Georgia 15, Howard sacked
Woodson for an 18-yard loss
that forced Lones Seiber to
try a 51 -yard field goal. It
was wide and a little short.
After Kentucky got it back
again deep in its own territory, Geno Atkins dumped
Rafael Little for a 2-yard loss
on third-and-1 with under 5
minutes to go.
Georgia got it back on a
punt and pushed into fieldgoal range for Brandon
Coutu, who wrapped up the
win by hitting a 46-yarder
with 2 :09 left.
"When you get four
turnovers, you have to put
points
on the
board,"
Woodson said. "Our running
game isn't working, so they
didn't have to worry that.
They could just drop back
and protect the pass. They ran
a lot of stunts, and we had a
hard time picking them up."
One week after wearing
black jerseys for the first time
in an emotional win over
Auburn,
the
Bulldogs
returned to their usual home
red and got off to another
rousing start. Asher Allen
returned the opening kickoff
82 yards to the Kentucky 18.
But Moreno fumbled
inside the 10 and Jere my
Jarmon recovered for the
Wildcats.
Kentucky built a 10-point
lead before the first quarter
was done. Woodson tossed a
36-yard touchdown pass to
Keenan Burton, then Seiber
connected from 31 yards after
Matthew Stafford threw the
first of his two interceptions.
That was Kentucky's only
points off a turnover.
Georgia made it 10-7 just
before halftime when Moreno
powered over from the 1. The
freshman bounced back from
that early mistake for his fifth
straight 100-yard rushing
game, the first Bulldogs back
to accomplish that feat since
Hei sman Trophy winner
Herschel Walker in 1982.
Georgia surged to its first
lead after Johnson blocked
Tim Masthay's punt on the
first possession on the second half, the Bulldogs
falling on it at the Kentucky
19. Thomas Brown scored
from the 1 to make it 14- 10.
Stafford
g ave
the
Bulldogs some b reathing
room, catching the Wildcat~
off guard with a 10-yard
touchdown r un. He faked a
handoff to Brown running to
his left, then took off the
other way and slid into the

Louisville 's potent offense
was no ma tch for South
Florida's tenacious defense.
Mike Ford rushed for 140
yards and two touchdowns and
USF forced seven turnovers
while holding Brian Brohm to
a season-low passing total as
the Bulls manhandled the
CardinaJs 55-17 o n Saturday
night.
Brohm was intercepted
three times and his backup,
Hunter Cantwell, was picked
off once. The Cardinals also
lost three fumbles while being
held to 405 yards, well below
their Big East-leading season
average of 497.6 per game.
Louisville (5-6, 2-4) turned
the ball over on the opening
kickoff and never recovered.
Trent Guy fumbled returning the kick, USF' s Nate Allen
picked up the loose ball at the
Cardinals 3 and continued into
the end zone, a place the Bulls
would visit fi ve more times in
the fi rst half alone.
USF (8-3, 3-3) also scored
on Trae Williams' 64-yard
interception return and Ford's
6-yard TD that capped an 89yard drive in which the freshman tailback also ran for 43
and 23 yards on consecutive
plays.
Ford carried 24 times a
week after posting the first
100-yard game of his career.

q uarterback Matt Grothe

Brohm com pleted 18 of 37
passes for 213 yards while
becoming the Big East's career
passing ·leader. He tied the
single-season

record for TD passes with his

three times before being
removed early in the fourth
quarter.
At 5-6, Louisville's streak

Johnson wins 2nd championship with cool Sunday drive at Homestead
by JENNA FRYER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOMESTEAD, Fla. ·Totally calm and cool,
Jimmie Johnson left the prerace drivers' meeting Sunday
afternoon flashing the peace
ign at people wishing him
luck.
Two fingers.
Two straight champiJnships.
Johnson became the first
driver to win consecutive
~hampionships since Jeff
Gordon in 1997 and '98,
wrapping up the ti tie by finishing a trouble-free seventh
in the season finale at
Homestead-Miami
Speedway. Matt Kenseth won
the race.
When it was over, he and
*rew chief Chad Knaus were
already thinking about a
third.
"We're just reaJJy hitting
our stride," Johnson said. "I
think that we have a lot of
good years ahead of us and
we'll be fighting for more
championships and certainly
winning more races as the
years go by, and hopefully be
a three-time champion in the
near future."
This Sunday drive was a
coronation, and Johnson
knew it. Deep down, so did
veryone else, too. NASCAR
. s changing eras next season,
but the Johnson era atop the
sport is just getting started.
Team
owner
Rick
Hendrick was along for the
ride when Gordon ruled the
sport, and said it's clear this
is Johnson's time now.
"Jimmie's just getting better and better, phenomenal,"
Hendrick said. "He's as
determined as anybody I've
ever seen sit down in a race
car. I don't see anything
that's going to slow Jimmie
down. I hope that we can
~eep it together. We can do
some phenomenal things in
the future.
, "Can we get 10, guys?"
Hendrick asked, looking at
Johnson and Knaus. "OK,
we're going to get 10."
Johnson carne into the
event with a cushy 86-point
lead over Gordon, his friend,
mentor and teammate at
Hendrick
Motorsports.
Although Johnson only needed to finish 18th or better, he
refused to play it safe and
Knaus gave him a pole-wining car.
Johnson led the first lap to
earn a quick five-point bonus,
then settled in for the 400mile ride into the record
books. At a time when no single team is supposed to dominate, the No. 48 crew did just
that in leading Johnson to 10
victories and a stout 5.0 average finish during the Chase
for the championship.
It put it out of reach for
Gordon, who was hoping to
~dd a fifth Cup title to his
~ream season. He became a
'!ather in June, won six races
and his fourth-place finish
Sunday was his NASCARrecord 30th top-1 0 finish of
the year.
"It's an awesome year, but
you know what? We wanted
to win a championship and
we got beat," said Gordon,
who
pulled
alongside
Johnson for a celebratory
nudge and pumped his fist in
excitement during Johnson's
burnout.
Gordon was also terrific in
e Chase, winning twice and
mreraging a 5.1 finish. But it
wasn't
enough
against
Johnson, his hand-picked
teammate who wound up surpassing him as the sport's
dominant driver.
Johnson became the first
driver since Gordon to win
double-digit races, four in a
row and the consecutive
titles. His 77 -point victory
margin was the largest in the
four years of the Chase.
"I' 11 be honest, I really
thought that as aggressive as
I.,~ey were being, it was going
'ro bite them," Gordon said. "I
guess I was just a little bit too
confident in the old consistency thing. ... Man, if they
dido 't pull it off. That's how
good they are."
It was a far different
approach from last year,
when Johnson fretted over
everything - especially the
outcome. He had lost the
championship in 2004 and
2005, and the stress of it
made him unable to relax.
"Losing those two championships taught us a lot. It
was painful," Johnson said.
"And there were points there
where we went back, looked
at it and tried to adjust. And
it's led to these two champi onships."
Finally winning last year
chilled him out, and the
California kid had a "no worries" attitude du"ring- the
entire Chase. He packed a
quick trip to Mexico into his
schedule two weeks ago,
spent time hanging out in
New York City and even
made plans for his championship party a week in
advance.
"After what I experienced
last season and coming into
this season, and even this
night, it just went so much
smoother for me," he said. "I
was in the right frame of
mind, was focused on the
right things. I had great support from the crew guys,
great support from my loving
wife and everything came
together. We're rocking.'·
The attitude was infectious
for the entire team.
Before the Super Bowl in
South Florida nine months
ago,
Colts
quarterback
Peyton Manning said he slept
for 12 hours the night before
the game -·and knew that
was a good sign.
Same thing here. This was
Johnson's Super BowL and
his team couldn't have been
more relaxed.
Knaus - the sort of guy
who frets over every detail went to bed at 9 p.m.
Saturday, awoke at 8 a.m. and
couldn't have been calmer
when he got to the track a
couple hours later.
"I've got the best team and
the best driver," Knaus said.
Who can argue? Certainly
not NASCAR.
''He is having a run that in
the modern era is maybe
unmatched," NASCAR chairman Brian France said before
the race. "He is just at a dif-
fercnt level and I think it's
hats off to him."
The sport has come a long
way from the days when
Richard Petty won 27 races in
a season, and too many teams
are competitive for any one
driver to dominate. But
Hendrick Motorsports did it,
with its four drivers winning
18 of the 36 races and
Johnson taking the lion's
share while giving HMS its
seventh Cup championship.
It came il\ a season when
NASCAR phased in its Car
of Tomorrow, a safer, costefficient car that was also
designed to improve the rae-
ing. But teams had to flop
back and forth between the
current car and the CoT, and
mastering both programs
was a chore.
Sunday's finale was the
last race for the current car,
as a new era begins next season when NASCAR will use
the CoT exclusively. The
series na.m e also is changing.
from Nextel Cup to Sprint
Cup.
And the dynamic at
Hendrick also will be different, with Dale Earnhardt Jr.
- NASCAR's most popular
driver - set to replace the
temperamental Kyle Busch
on the four-car team. The
·a ddition will give Hendrick
another championship-caliber driver and a colorful
personality on a team often
criticized for being a bit
bland.
It's stretched to Johnson,
who despite his success isn't
embraced by a fan base that
views him as a little too polished and a lot too nice. But
he proved he's not perfect
last December, falling from
the top of a golf cart and
breaking his wrist in the
process. Embarrassed by the
incident and afraid of what it
would do to his image, he
initially lied about how it
happened and was angry
when the truth came out.
When it didn't harm him,
Johnson realized he doesn't
always have to be the consummate corporate poster
boy and can show his wild
side. He did just that when
he crossed the finish line
Sunday, immediately radiqing to his crew to get ready
for the party.
"South Beach, here we
come," said Johnson, who
promised to "watch the sun
come up and smile."

Jim Harrison, director, Kentucky Reptile Zoo, held a baby American alligator up for display during his talk on alligators and crocodiles.
Kristen Wiley, curator, Kentucky Reptile Zoo, allowed this Argentine
boa to wrap itself around her body during a presentation on reptiles
held Friday evening at Big Sandy Community and Technical College.
BSCTC Biology Club holds annual reptile show:
by KATHY J. PRATER
FEATURES EDITOR
They smell with their tongues, never close their
eyes (even when sleeping), and, regardless of their
shiny exteriors, are dry, not slimy, to the touch. Of
course, we are speaking about snakes and a few
fun facts learned about them at the Big Sandy
Community and Technical College's Community
Biology Club's Annual Reptile Show, held Friday
evening on the Prestonsburg campus.
On hand for the presentation was Jim Harrison,
director, Kentucky Reptile Zoo, and his wife,
Kristen Wiley,· zoo curator. Harrison, Wiley and
their staff at the zoo work to educate the public
about the lives of reptiles and to help correct
harmful misconceptions about the animals and to
demonstrate their importance to the world's
ecosystems.
The zoo, according to Harrison, pro\ ides 600
to 1,000 venom extractions per week for hospitals
all over the world. "There are 0 to 12 snake bite
deaths per year in the United States," Harrison
said, "contrary to what many believe." According
to Harrison, "snakes do not want to bite, especially humans.
"Humans are not prey for snakes," Harrison
continued. "Snakes want to save their venom to
use on their prey, for their food. They don't want
to waste it by biting humans ... snakes won't chase
you and they don't want to bite you." he said.
Additionally, Harrison informed, ninety-five percent of all snake bites do not contain enough
venom to kill a human being. "But if you do happen to get bitten," he said, "go to a hospital. Don't
waste your money on snake bite kits. get yourself
to a hospital where they can take care of you."
As such. Harrison's best advice to those who
encounter snakes on their property or while taking
nature walks or hike~. is to "leave the snake
alone." "If you see a snake, go in the opposite
d1rection." he :-aid.
. The husband-wife team share that, through
their work. they want to teach people to not in11ict
malicious behavior on snakes. "Ye~. some snakes
are venomous, the majority are not," Harri ·on
said. "But even the venomous ones are not out 'to
get you,"' he said. ''Snakes prefer to be left alone
and, when left alone, are actually beneficial to
have around. They eat insects. rodents, and, in
some cases, each other." The common non-venomous black King snake, accordmg to Harrison,
can kill and eat venomous copperhead and rattlesnakes. "So. when you see a black snake," h~:;
said, "please, leave 1t alone."
The venom provided hy the Kentucky Reptile
Zoo is used to make serum to treat those who have
been bitten by snakes, and also for medical
research. "Recent studies have shown that snake
venom can stop the spread of breast cancer cells."
Harrison said. ''So, snakes rna) end up saYmg
your life ~omeday:·
Harrison ad' ocatcs "bl"ing smart" when outdoor~ and rcirainmg: from dmng such thmgs as
"stickin,l body p•uts hands, h:ct, hc,tds - mto
holes and dark places." "Snakes that mav h~ rest'
-
ing inside will see this as an intrusion, and yei,
they will bite because they feel threatened," lie
said.
If, in spite of Harrison's teachings, you stiJl
can't bring yourself to feel comfortable about the
thought of having snakes nearby, Harrison advises
keeping your lawns mown and free of items in
which snakes might enjoy crawling into or resting
upon. "And, please," he said, "be aware that the
use of insecticides and lawn treatments are ha.rn\ful to the common green snake. Green snakes ate
harmless; they like to hang around in trees and eat
insects. They don't bother people."
For those who want to learn more about snak$s
and other reptiles. Harrison advises "to read \a
good book." "Be wary of the documentaries ~
shows on television," he said, "they tend tP
'dumb' everything down. Their focus is to enteitam, not educate. And. when you see them holding
a snake upside down by its tail, they are damaging
the animal's body. We won't do anything to harm
an animal. If you really want to learn about reptiles. get yourself a good book."
The Kentucky Reptile Zoo is located at 200
L&E Railroad Road, in Slade, KY. They are open
from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday through Sunday,
during the spring and falL and daily during the
summer. They will close for the winter season on
November 22.

Keep wildlife from seeking shelter
inside your home this winter
Temperatures are dropping and days are
getting shorter, which reminds wildlife that
it is time to seek winter quarters. The
wildlife conflict specialists at The Humane
Society of the United States (HSUS) want
people to be aware that raccoons, skunks and
squirrels may seek shelter in places that
homeowners do not even realize they are
providing through openings in their chimneys, attics; vents, porches and sheds.
Homeowners should take some simple steps
before Thanksgiving, in order to keep
unwanted winter visitors out of the house.
John Griffin, director of Humane Wildlife
Services for The HSUS reports, "Animals
are the first to alert us to unknown openings
above our gutters and out of our sight lines
on roof~ and chimneys - places homeowners
rarely inspect. Unfortunately, once they have
alerted us. they'\c alrc.tdy been using them
This is tlw nptnnal t1111c of year to see if
openings exist and to mak.e immediate
repairs so that there i~ not a conflict in the
future. The best\\ ay to uo this is hy inspect
ing your l!ou~c fro1n foundation to roof.''
Exteriot openings arc not just attracti\'e to
animals: they an: energy-robbing ou'tlcts for
heat to escape <ll1d damaging moisture inlets
for weather to mfiltrate. So 1t is a good time
to combine your fall exterior tasks like gutter cleaning ,md limb-trimming wnh a comprehensive inspet:tion where you "view"

• Continued from p5
ping any potential entry
points, make absolutely sure
there are no animals already
inside and undiscovered.
Griffin explains, "People often
take steps to close up and seal
openings and find to their dismay that they have trapped an
animal inside. There are basic
steps to ensure that this doesn' t happen during the inspection."
Tools you will need to keep
wildlife from making your
home, their home:
Binoculars - to help see
parts of the roof level elements
of your house like trim board,
siding and vents up close if
climbing a ladder is not an
option.
Flashlight - to illuminate
openings in the darker areas of
your home.
Camera - to document what
needs to be sealed for reference and help you monitor the
condition of the exterior of
your roof, trim and siding.
Foundation:
Starting from the ground
up, inspect the foundation for
potential entry points and
signs of animal activity where
pipes, vents and cables exit the
house. Pay attention to where
different types of building
materials come together.
Window wells, dryer exhaust
vents, thresholds, brick and
siding gaps can all be potential
openings at the foundation
level. If these openings are
smaller than a few inches they
can be caulked, stuffed with
copper mesh or filled with
expandable foam. Larger
openings should be repaired to
original condition.
Attic:
Inspect attics with a flashlight for any signs of animals.
Look for droppings, chewing
and nesting material. If a hole
is found, assume an animal is
present and NEVER seal it up
until you are completely sure
that all animals are gone. To
inspect, tum off any attic lights
and look for outside light leaking in, which will alert you to
holes that could be potential
entry points. Pay attention to
the roof trim board intersection and any gable or exhaust
vents. These are often covered
with light bug screen that will
not stand up to squirrels and
raccoons.
You can test if an opening
is being used by an animal in
two ways: put white flour in
front of any holes and check
later for footprints, or stuff the
hole loosely with a paper
towel and see if it gets pushed
in or out. If after three days,
the paper stays in place, or you
have no flour footprints, you
can safely close up. Use caulk
for small holes, staple or screw
hardware cloth over larger
holes or make permanent
repairs.
Take caution when it comes
to bats. Bats won't leave tracks
or push through paper, and
they can be difficult to see. So
they require a different type of
inspection. Look carefully on
the attic floor and on insulation for quarter-inch pellets
which are a bit shiny and friable. Call a bat removal specialist if you suspect these animals are using the attic.
Chimneys:
Check inside by shining a
light up the flue, looking for
animal signs on the damper
and smoke shelf. Also check
the chimney flue from the roof
(or have a chimney sweep do
it) to make sure no animals are
present and install an animalproof chimney cap.
Roof/siding/trim board:
From the outside and/or
from a ladder look for loose
vent screens, warped siding,
trim board that is deteriorated
and pulled away from the wall
or roof holes and make permanent repairs once you have
completed the attic inspection.
Other tips:
Trash: Secure trash containers with cords, ropes or
weights, or put trash out the
morning of collection, not the
night before.
Trees/leaves: Keep branches trimmed 6. feet away from
your house to limit access for
wildlife, and clean debris especially leaf piles - in gutters and around the foundation.
Compost: Cover and secure
compost piles. Never compost
meat scraps.

their way inside your home,

This year the Prestonsburg Rotary came on board to host the first Bubble Gum
Contest, and have expressed an interest in doing some extra events in 2008, for more
kids 12 and under.
We hope to have a carnival for next year. This year, we had a suggestion box near
the stage, and we asked for your comments . We have read those, and we appreciate
all of them and we will try to change some things.
This year was our first annual Pet Show. It was a success: it was a learning
experience, and we hope to fine-tune it.
Below is a list of our volunteers. If you would like to help, please call any of our
members. We meet the first Monday of each month at City Hall , at 5:00 or 5 :30. The
most pleasure that I have received as being chairman of this festival is the fact that
it is a group of Christian people who love the Lord and want to do their very best to
let their light shine. Thanks to all of you.

Easy solutions for the hard-to-please man in your lif~
If the man in your life is
anything like my husband and
he sees something he likes, he
buys it. That doesn't leave a
whole lot of room to navigate
inventive yet budget-conscious ways to say, "I love
you." Finding a gift for your
husband, father or helping
your kids pick out something
for Dad can be difficult.
Poised as a roving gift~trend reporter, I headed to the
stores to uncover some useful
ideas that the man in your life
may find useful. I hope my little shopping expedition saves
you time going from store to
store. Hopefully, ~his will help
you eliminate at least one
thing from that endless to-do
list.
One of the first things I
found was an item I was actually directed to by a friend
who is something of an automotive enthusiast - and that is
something of an understate~ ment, actually. He loves cars,
motorcycles or almost anything on wheels. Whether he
admires it most on the dirt or
in the driveway doesn't matter
- it doesn't even have to run ,
truthfully; an internal combustion engine and wheels are the
only requirement for adoration. The item he recommended is called The Absorber; it's
a tool that a lot of clean-car
devotees use to dry their vehicle - a lightweight, reuseable
drying towel that's safe for
even the most precious paint
job (or precious purveyor of
paint). It's washable, so it
saves loads of wear-and-tear
on the washer and dryer (never
mind the person operating said
machines - and you know who
that is!), and it is good for the
environment. Plus it is quick,
easy to use, and won't leave
lint or pull off the protective
wax coat. Overall, it's a pretty
handygiftoid for the discriminating gear-head in any family.
On the other end of the
spectrum, of course, there is
the man who likes to look
good but couldn't really tell the
tail pipe from the front fender.
F~r him, I've found The
Glosser to be an exceptional
stocking stuffer. This· handy
little fun-pack is packaged
with five microfiber towels
that are filled with car wash
and polish. Just wipe on, wipe
off, grasshopper, and the car is
almost instantly returned to
showroom glory with very little elbow-grease. Now that's
my kind of car wash! Better
yet, The Glosser can be tucked
under the seat or in the glovebox to be used on the road or
before an important meeting
(or when he's picking you up
for your intended-to-be-weekly-but-only-happens-annually
"just the two of you" date).
To be sure that the interior
of the car doesn't suffer from
neglect, throw in The Dash
Gear cleaning towel and you
have an easy gift set. Designed
specifically for instrument
panels and electronics, The
Dash Gear is constructed of an
ultra-fine microfiber that lifts
dust, dirt, and grime without
scratching surfaces or requiring liquid cleaners.
If you really want to go
overboard, you could offer to
help with the application of
any one of these fine gifts. But

really, in my opinion, that's
giving away the farm. If he
gives you a diamond, he doesn't offer to wear it for you, now
does he? So I'd give him the
gift pack and set him free in
the garage all by his lonesome.
Tell him that's part of the gift,
too.
The Dash Gear, The
Glosser, and The Absorber
make excellent stocking
stuffers - all are inexpensive
(retailing from about $6 to
$13) and easy to find at WalMart, Target, Kmart, Pep
Boys, and other stores. Have a
fine holiday season and if you
would like any additional
information on these products,
call CleanTools at 1-800-6543933.
Our roving reporter unearths gift ideas that are inexpensive,
useful and appreciated by the auto aficionado in your life.

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
oy recalls aren•t child•s play
The toy industry has been
reeling this year due to a number of product recalls by the
Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), which
pulled everything from dolls to
wooden trains off of store
helves.
Roughly 10 million units of
toys have been recalled in the
Onited States alone over the
past year. Toys decorated with
lead-laden paints and products
containing tiny magnets that
ean cause intestinal blockage
or perforation were just some
of the recall targets. The major. ity o~ these recalled toys were
manufactured in China.
Seeking Out Safe Toys
Now that the holiday season
has arrived and toys are likely
at the top of many children's
wish lists, how can you safeguard those you love from dangerous toys?
• Beware of used toys.
Sure, they may seem like a bargain, but those garage sale
finds or toys you purchased
from online auction sites may
be dangerous. In fact, reports
have indicated that many
recalled toys find a second life
on popular auction sites such
as Ebay. These Web sites provide an easy way to liquidate
dangerous
merchandise.
Before you shop, be sure you
have the facts about the toys.
• Know where to find
answers. The CPSC is responsible in the United States for
keeping track of the safety of
products and will often list current recalls on their Web site:
www.cspc.gov. Other sources
of recall information include
local newspapers/Web sites,
"Consumer Reports," whtch
includes recalls in the beginning of each issue, and toy and
manufacturer Web sites. You
can also phone toy/product
manufacturers to check on
recalls.
• Follow the age guidelines. Most toys are sold with
age requirements posted right
on the packaging. Therefore,
heed the age guidelines and do
not allow children to play with
items that may be out of their
league. Age restrictions may
not be restricted to physical
hazards from toys. Age suggestions are also based on subjective matters such as intended
use (toy weapons) and connotation (sexual innuendo, story
content).
Holiday shopping and safety tips
While the holidays can be a
joyous time for adults and children alike, they may also bring a
smile to the face of criminals.
That's because amid the excitement and confusion of holiday
shopping and travel, many people leave themseh:es susceptible
to theft. Willing thieves are
waiting in the wings to lighten
your holiday shopping load.
To ensure the holidays will
be as happy as possible and not
spoiled by criminals lurking in
the shadows, consider these
safety and comfort tips.
park your car as close to the
entry of the store as possible and
find a spot that is under a light
so the car will be visible and
illuminated.
If you are bogged down by
tons of packages you may not be
able to react in the event of a
theft. Therefore, space out shopping and deposit your purchases
in your car periodically to keep
your hands free as much as possible. Remember to keep gifts in
the car out of view, so a trunk is
the best place for storage.
Never flash your money conspicuously and keep your wallet
or pocketbook close to your
body at all times. If you're paying with cash primarily (keep in
mind credit and debit cards are
safer), it is wise to spread out the
money in different pockets or
locations on your person. This
way if you are robbed, you
won't be lifted of all of your
cash. Always protect your credit
and debit cards as well, and be
aware of those around you when
making withdrawals from ATM
machines.
Safeguard Children
In busy stores it is eac;y for a
child to become separated from
a parent. Teach your children to
go to a store clerk or security
guard if they ever get separated
from you in a store, and be sure
they know their first and last
name so they can tell someone
who they are.
• Use common sense. If a
toy seems dangerous or contains parts that make you nervous, you may want to pass it
up for something else. Keep an
eye out for small parts, magnets, sharp edges, etc. You may
find you're ahead of the game
with a product recall.
Dangerous Toys of the Past
All of the 2007 recalls may
have parents wondering if toys
are getting more dangerous or
if government officials are
cracking down on potential
hazards. Through the years
there have been a number of
dangerous toys (now unavailable) that have resulted in
injuries that may make today's
toys seem innocent. Again, if
you find any of these toys lurking in an attic or online, it's
best to keep them away from
kids. Here's a look:
• Gilbert U-238 Atomic
Energy Lab (1951 ); dangers:
radioactive elements
• Johnny Reb Cannon
( l961); dangers: spring-loaded
cannon balls launched 35 feet
into anything in their path
•
Creepy
Crawler
Thingmaker (1964); dangers:
burns - open hot plate th
heated toxic rubber to 300 F to
form critters
•
Battlestar Galactica
Missile Launcher (1979); dangers: missile-shaped projectiles choked and put out eyes
• Lawn Darts (1980s); dangers: sharp points that impaled
• EZ Sales mini-hammock
( 1984-1995); dangers: strangulation
•
Cabbage
Patch
Snacktime Kid (1996); dangers: motorized mouth "bit"
fingers and entangled child's
hair
• Sky Dancers (1994); dangers: launched doll could cause
various injuries, from blindness to facial lacerations
•
Fisher-Price Power
Wheels Motorcycle (2000);
dangers: motorcycle throttle
locked, keeping the motorcycle
in accelerated speeds forcing
kids to face crashes or falls.
Be Alert and Confident
Distraction and the element
Of surprise are key tactics in any
theft scheme. Pickpockets'
favorite places for action are on
crowded lines, in elevators, on
escalators, and when going
through
revolving
doors.
Always be aware of your environment and those around you.
Do not shop while talking on a
cell phone or while listening to
your MP3 player. Keep your
eyes and ears open and project a
confident and alert posture.

Managing pulmonary hypertension;
~Prognosis for disorder improving
1'/
by KATHY J. PRATER
FEATURES EDITOR
After having spent many
years of service in the field of
healthcare, Floyd Davis, 56,
of Pyramid, now finds himself
on the receiving end of health
services. Diagnosed in June,
2000 by Dr. Rodney
Handshoe, Davis finally got
an answer he had been seeking for several years prior
when he was informed that he
had a rare lung disease, pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension is
a simplified name for a complex health problem: high
blood pressure in the lungs. It
is a disease that affects people
of all ages and ethnic backgrounds; and one that is difficult to diagnose.
"Many people actually
have symptoms long before a
definitive diagnosis is ever
made," Davis said. "It is so
rare, and so difficult to diagnose, that most people are
symptomatic for years before
it's found. As a matter of fact,
many people die before it is
found."
Davis says that in his case,
he knew for several years
"that something was wrong. "
"I kept going to doctors and
going and going ...finally, I
reached the point where I just
made up my mind that I wasn't going to any more doctors .
If something was wrong, well,
I just didn 't care anymore."
Davis said that he had
experienced symptoms such
as shortness of breath, heart
palpitations, feelings of faintness, edema, and other such
symptoms such as seeing his
fingernails turn blue following some light yard work, to
the point that he had come to
believe that if someth ing was
wrong with him, nothing
could be done about it.
Thanks to a dedicated doctor that had been his family
physician for years, Dr. Roger
Jurich, Davis said that he
finally got on the right path to
diagnosis and treatment. "Dr.
Jurich did a lot of work ... he
made sure I was comfortable
and he took a great interest. I
credit him with a lot," he said.
Pulmonary hypertension is
a rare blood vessel disorder of
the lung in which the pressure
in the pulmonary artery (the
blood vessel that leads from
the heart to the lungs) rises
above normal levels and may
become life threatening. The
condition is extremely rare,
occurring in about two persons per million population
each year. Historically, it has
been a chronic disorder and
known as incurable with a
poor survival rate. With
advancements in medical
technology, new treatments
are now available which offer
a significantly improved prognosis in those who are diagnosed.
"I've been extremely
lucky, blessed really," Davis
said. "Four new drugs have
been developed since my
diagnosis. It seems that as
I've needed them, God has
seen fit to provide them."
Along with daily medications, Davis' condition also
requires that he be on a continuous oxygen feed twentyfour hours a day. "I had asthma as a child," Davis said.
"That alone would not cause
any predisposition to ph (pulmonary hypertension), but
other problems, along with
genetic markers, probably
triggered it."
Not one to succumb easily,
Davis said that he continued
to work from the time of his
diagnosis to 2003. "I enjoyed
my work," he sai d, "and I certainly did not want to quit. I

would have worked until I
died." But as his condition
progressed, it soon became
apparent that he would have
to give up his duties in the
healthcare and teaching fields .
Davis said that he told his
wife, Nancy, that he "would
take care of the house and
cook" once he quit work to
stay home and take care of his
health. "People with pulmonary hypertension become
very dependent on their
spouses and families," he
said. "They have to take over
all the things we used to do,
and deal with our problems.
I'm very grateful to my wife
and children, for all the support they've given me."
A longtime member of
First United Methodist
Church, Prestonsburg, Davis
says that he remains as active
as possible in church related
activities and functions and
that his faith has been a cornerstone in helping him to
cope with his disorder. "I definitely believe that there is a
higher power that is interested
in us," he said. "I have great
faith that there is a purpose to
the world that extends far
beyond just ourselves.
"At the end of the day," he
continued, "what matters most
is your family and friends . It's
important to take time for
those you love."
With pulmonary hypertension being a disease that is
more common in women than
in men, Davis offers this
piece of advice to those men
who may be experiencing
symptoms of the disorder: "If
you are a man and you are
having symptoms, and you
don' t want to tell your wife,
you don' t want to tell your
friends, you don't want to tell
your family, whatever - then
that's all good and well, but
for heaven's sake, do tell your
doctor."
Some symptoms of pulmonary hypertension include:
breathlessness or shortness of
breath, especially with activity; feeling tired all the time;
lightheadedness, especially
when climbing stairs or upon
standing up; swollen ankles,
legs, or abdomen; chest pain,
especially during physical
activity; and fainting.
With new research, those
diagnosed with pulmonary
hypertension today may successfully manage their disorder for 15 to 20 years or
longer.
"The sooner it's found, the
sooner it's treated, the better
off you are," Davis said.
Davis and his wife have
two children, Rachel, 23, and
Patrick, 22.

Local man finds security

Living with autism "doesn't come
without its trials and tribulations,"
said Carolyn Ford, of Prestonsburg,
but she and son, Winn, certainly
seem to have worked out any trying
kinks that may have ever come their
way.
Winn, who just celebrated his 40th
birthday August 5, was diagnosed
with autism at about the age of 4,
during a time when very little was
actually known about the condition
by the medical community at large.
"When when we were taking Winn
to doctors, no one could really tell us
anything," Carolyn Ford said. "As a
matter of fact, the doctor at UK that
diagnosed Winn told us that Winn
was the first autistic case he had ever
seen."
With little to go on, Carolyn and
late husband, Winston "Sonny" Ford,
had to dig in and start doing research
on their own. "There was hardly any
information available," she said.
"There were no computer websites to
access, not like today. We just had to
do the best we could."
After visiting "what they called a
school," in Texas, Carolyn said that
she and her late husband decided "on
the spot that this was not what we
were looking for."
"The 'school,' as they called it,
was actually nothing more than an
institution ... It wasn't what we were
looking for for our son," she said.

·'':'
~~"-'
What the Fords were looking for
was a place where Winn could
receive an education. "We knew he
was special," Carolyn said, "but at
that time, there were no laws in place
that would guarantee him an education ... When he was 7 years old, we
took him to a boarding school in Ft.
Lauderdale, Fla.
"Talk about something hard to
do," she continued with a wavering
voice. "That was hard. Leaving our
little boy in Florida ... but we knew
we had to do it, for his sake."
Winn spent the next four years
away at school in Florida, returning
home for holidays and summer vacations, until, in 1978, new legislation
was passed allowing Winn to return
home and enroll in the public school
system. In May 1987, he became a
graduate of Prestonsburg High
School.
Autism, defined as a brain development disorder characterized by
impairments in social interaction and
communication, and restricted and
repetitive behavior, is generally
exhibited before a child is 3 years
old. At the time of Winn's diagnosis,
one in 10,000 babies born were diagnosed with the disorder; today, one in
150 are born with the disorder.
"I find that very interesting,"
Carolyn said. "At this rate, it looks
like, eventually, we are all going to
be autistic."
While it is true that the number of
people known to have autism has
increased dramatically since the
1980s, it is unclear whether statistics
are due partly to more babies actually
being born with the disorder, or simply due to changes in diagnostic
practices.
Autism affects many parts of the
brain, but how is still poorly understood. There is no cure for the disorder but those with milder cases, such
as Winn, can achieve a rather high
level of independent living. On a
recent occasion when Carolyn was
called upon to make an unscheduled
trip to Pikeville to assist a friend in
need in the middle of the night, she
made the decision to leave Winn at
home sleeping rather than disturb his
slumber.

Wlnn Ford, left, and mother Carolyn,
enjoy living life to the fullest despite
Wlnn's diagnosis of autism.
"I knew it wouldn't take me that
long to get up there and back, so I
just left him sleeping," she said. "His
sister checked in on him and when I
got back, I was so happy to see that
he had gotten himself up, dressed for
church and was ready to go when I
got home. I remember being so proud
of him and thinking to myself,
'You're going to be okay, boy."'
In daily life, Carolyn shares that
"routines and calendars are very
important" to her son. "Holidays are
also very important," she said. As
such, Winn can fairly easily tell a
visitor or family member of important dates lying ahead, often even
those lying several years ahead.
"It's really rather amazing how the
autistic mind works," Carolyn said.
"A counselor once told me that the
autistic mind is like a large (movie)
reel; instead of their brains being like
ours are, with information stored in
various spots, theirs are like large
reels that move forward and backward ... For this reason, it takes them
longer to respond. They have to
move those reels back and forth, you
know, to find the information.
Sometimes, I can look at Winn and
just about see those reels moving
back and forth in his mind."
Those visiting with Winn and
interacting with him on a regular
basis soon discover that he is a fellow who enjoys life. He works
throughout the week at Mountain
Comprehensive Care Center's Auxier
Greenhouse, attends weekly services
at the First Presbyterian Church,
where he takes up the offering and
enjoys handing out candy to children
and favorite individuals ("He always
gives candy to all the children,"
Carolyn said, "and he has his favorite
people that he always remembers, but
Teresa Lester is very important to
him ... She always gets several pieces
of candy."), is a regular player at a
local bingo parlor, and enjoys trips
out of town for favorite activities.
At home, Winn has established
routines that comfort and guide him
through daily living.
"He enjoys organizing his bags of
candy and CDs and he helps with the
laundry ... Each night before he goes
to bed, he turns on the dryer and the
dishwasher," said his mother.
Following his father's death, Wino's
mother also said that she noticed that
in his father's absence, Winn began
to take on a few tasks that his father
had previously taken care of.
"Sonny always cleaned up the
kitchen after dinner," Carolyn said. "I
would come in and cook, then when I
was lying down after dinner, he
would stack up the dishes and
straighten the kitchen. After his
death, I began to notice that Winn
had begun to do those things. So, in
his own way, he knows lots of things.
He just can't communicate them as
well as we do."
Carolyn, now a special education
teacher, says that the best advice she
can give other parents of autistic children is to do their best to "help them
learn to stand on their own two feet."
"It's hard to not be overprotective,"
she said, "but you have to think of
them, of what's best for them.
"Learn all you can and be a support, but let them do everything they
can for themselves," she said.
Winn has two sisters, Leslie, a
speech pathologist, and Kelly, a special education teacher.

Learned to take control of
life after diabetes diagnosis
by JENNIFER LAWSON
STAFF WRITER
Blaming her low energy
and frequent bathroom trips to
age, Kyle Riddle never imagined that a simple insurance
exam would change her life
forever. However, it was in
2005 that a clerical error,
though she calls it good faith,
sent her for a life insurance
exam a year early, only to
detect that she not only had
high blood pressure and glaucoma, but was also a diabetic.
Throughout most of her
adult life, Riddle said she
always put everyone else,
including her four children,
first and never made time for
herself to go to the doctor.
She also spent much of her
time, devoted to her husband,
who became paralyzed before
their fifth anniversary.
Working in the mines, Don
Riddle came home from work
one day complaining that his
feet hurt. Less than a day
later, he was completely paralyzed from his sternum down.
The paralyization was later
attributed to a virus that
attacked his spinal muscles,
forcing him to spend months
in hospitals, times that Kyle
Riddle couldn't spend with
him, due to having four small
children at home, including
14-month-old twins.
"I had my children really
fast," said Riddle, who gave
birth to four children in less
than five years. "But looking
back, it's a good thing I did,
otherwise I might not have
had any."
Spending their fifth
anniversary in the hospital,
Kyle Riddle said after that it
was all about learning to
adjust to the circumstances.
As the family learned to
cope, Riddle and her husband
were able to successfully raise
their four children who each
turned out to be what some
consider as very successful.
Having a son in the Air Force,
another in the Navy, and the
third an engineer for CSX, not
to mention a daughter who is
a bilingual teacher, tends to
make it somewhat appropriate
for one to boast.
As time went on, Riddle
said she found herself to be
not quite as energetic as she
once was and making frequent trips to the bathroom.
However, she just thought it
was something natural that
came with age.
"I was getting older," said
Riddle. "I just thought that
was part of it."
Although she had developed a routine and had gotten
used to only taking vitamins,
one insurance exam sent her
home with six different varieties of medication.
"I just felt like I was
falling apart," said Riddle.
Though she once had good
health insurance through her
husband's former employer,
the business later went bankrupt, leaving her with none.
Taking advantage of the services and programs offered by
Highlands Regional Medical
Center and the work of Dr.
Brandi Collins, Riddle said
she was able to learn to manage her illness and develop a
new sort of routine to cope.
"If it wasn't for the people
at Highlands, I don't know
what I would've done," said
Riddle. "Everyone there was
just so wonderful, I can't
express enough thanks to
them. There are so many
assistance programs available
to people today that there 's
absolutely no reason to neglect your health"
Checking her sugar levels
twice a day, Riddle said she
has learned to control and bal-
Kyle Riddle
ance what she eats and focuses on minimizing her cabrohydrate intake.
"It's the breads and pastas
that are everywhere it seems,"
said Riddle. "It's hard not to
eat those things, but you learn
to balance them out."
According to Riddle, in
this day and time, there's
absolutely no reason not to be
able to eat right.
'There are so many sugarfree things and sugar substitutes out there today that
there 's no reason to feel
deprived," said Riddle.
Though it took adjustments
and a few more doctor visits,
she said she was forced to
take a good look at her life
and realize that she had no
choice but to learn to deal
with it.
"You can either take control of your life or you can
miss out," said Riddle, who
didn't dare want to give up
her times with her grandchildren or miss out on an opportunity due to an illness.

After beating breast cancer, like
Shelton said she always knew she
would, little did she know that another battle was yet to come.
"I had been cancer-free so long
and I felt, 'Yes!, I may have really
survived this dreadful disease,"' said
Shelton.
Over nine years had passed when
Shelton began developing a severe
cough, which she attributed to bronchitis, and again began feeling tired,
which she blamed on work. However,
as the symptoms persisted, she went
back to the family doctor.
Due to her previous cancer experience she wanted a lung scan, but the
doctor blamed the symptoms on
things such as allergies and asthma,
both of which she had never had.
After visiting a lung specialist in
hopes of getting more answers,
Shelton was instead told she was
being uncompliant
With continuous persistence, she
was finally sent for a positron emission tomography, a scan that detects
areas of cancer known as "hot spots"
which was again read by radiologist
as suspicious and she was referred
for a bronchoscopy biopsy. Within a
few days Shelton was diagnosed with
metastatic cancer of breast to lungs
and from there things were all a
"whirlwind."
Even though oncologist John
Gohmann was on vacation during the
week of Thanksgiving, he still called
Shelton and offered her options.
Discovering there were two tumors
and five nodules in her throat, the
following Monday Shelton was sent
for surgery and that Thursday began
chemotherapy treatments.
Upon learning she had cancer
again, Shelton didn't understand how,
since she had never smoked or been
exposed to dangerous chemicals, but
said she never questioned God and
instead thought of ways to tell her
family.
"I didn't want them to know," said
Shelton. "I prayed to God to let me
stay a little longer. I had so many
things I needed to do before leaving
Ruth and Allen Shelton have each fought and overcome cancer.
this world!'
The fact that all of her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, were gone
within two days after her first
chemotherapy treatment, didn't bother her.
"Those little issues were not my
battle," said Shelton who first used
special hats that had been designed
by Kathleen Keitha, a victim of cancer who had passed away, and were
given way for free, to cover her bare
head. "The hats were so neat There
was one that kept my head warm and
another designed to catch the hair as
it came out"
Later, she discovered that the
American Cancer Society would provide free wigs. Her wig, which she
still often wears as her hair is
regrowing, is made of synthetic hair
and is designed in a style she would
normally wear. With a simple
"shake" to fluff it up, Shelton can
have it on her head in a matter of
seconds and one would never know it
wasn't her own.
Along with a "wonderful" oncolo-
gist, Shelton said it was the Lord and
the unbelievable response from the
community that kept her going.
"They all thought it was a death
sentence or something," said Shelton.
"But I never thought I was going to
die."
As prayers and cards of support
poured in from everywhere and even
from people she didn 't know,
Shelton's coworkers also played a
major role in her recovery.
It was nearing Christmas when
Shelton walked into her living room
and discovered the whole office staff,
dressed as elves and wearing Santa
Claus hats, singing Christmas carols.
"They had moved the office
Christmas party to my house," said
Shelton. "It got me up off the couch
and motivated me to get well so I
could go back to work "
Finishing her last radiation treatment in March, Shelton still goes for
regular PET scans and has "hot
spots" on both lungs, but it's not

Kept busy while
fighting cancer - twice
by JENNIFER LAWSON
STAFF WRITER
At 49 years old, Ruth Shelton was
starting to think that getting old
"sucks," as she often felt tired and
weak. But after her fatigue kept getting worse, she knew there was
something wrong and visited her
family doctor, who insisted she see a
gynecologist.
Upon scheduling a visit to the
gynecologist, Shelton also discovered
that it was time for her mammogram,
as she had only had one in her life.
Despite the suspicious radiology
readings that resulted, Shelton said
she never thought anything was really wrong.
Traveling to Lexington for a biopsy, it took less than a half an hour for
the doctor to give her the devastating
results- her tiredness and suspicious readings were all linked to
breast cancer.
Visiting an oncologist to sort out
her options, it was decided that a
lumpectomy would be necessary.
"Even after hearing all the news, I
was in denial," said Shelton. "No one
in my family had cancer including
my 11 siblings. I was sure they had
made a mistake."
It wasn't until after the lumpectomy surgery that Shelton realized
there was no mistake, and what was
happening was real. Removing 16
lymph notes, she said the surgery was
a dramatic experience.
"When I first woke up I thought
they had cut my arm off," said
Shelton in reference to the incisions
made to successfully perform the surgery.
Despite the dramatic experience,
Shelton was determined to regain use
of her arm and would use the ceramic
tiles in her shower to measure her
progress.
"Every time I'd shower, I'd make
myself reach up one more tile," said
Shelton, who still experiences limited
use of her arm from time to time.
Despite the six rounds of
chemotherapy treatments and 39 radiation treatments, Shelton would only
miss one day of work as director of
patient services at Our Lady or the
Way Hospital for each treatment.
"My treatments were on Friday.
I'd miss that day, then Monday I'd be
right back," said Shelton. "I tried to
keep myself busy so I didn ' t have
time to feel sorry for myself."

Shelton, of Martin, continuously wondered "Why me?" when he was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1989.
Deciding to visit with his family
doctor after having frequent sore
throats and developing a raspy voice,
the doctor instantly knew there was
something wrong and referred
Shelton to doctors in Pikeville to perform a biopsy. Immediately following
the biopsy, Shelton was sent to
Cincinnati, where he remained for the
next 17 days.
Before undergoing surgery in
attempts to remove the affected vocal
cords, Shelton knew his voice would
be gone temporarily but feared his
voice box may have to be removed
completely. Therefore, he and his
wife Ruth made up a communication
system in which Shelton would tap
once for "yes" and twice for "no"
when asked questions.
After being cut under his chin
completely from ear to ear, Shelton
would hold up one finger then two
fingers in attempts to communicate
with his wife, but no avail. It wasn't
until days later that he was able to
scribble her a "nasty note" and finally
get an answer to what he wanted to
know, "Had they removed one vocal
cord, or two?" The answer: Only one.
After the surgery, he didn't have to
undergo any chemotherapy or radiation treatments and only had to return
to doctors for body scans to be sure
the cancer hadn't come back.
Since there had not been a history
of illnesses in the family, Shelton
couldn't figure out what may have
caused the cancer and was having a
hard time dealing with the situation.
"It's just so scary," said Shelton.
Though it was later acknowledged
by the government that the cause of
the cancer was due to time Shelton
came in contact with Agent Orange
during the Vietnam War. Despite the
circumstances, Shelton said he has no
regrets.
"I've never once regretted joining
the Army," said Shelton, who served
for two-and-a-half years before being
shot. "As a matter of fact, when 9/11
happened, I was ready to go back."
For his wife though, Ruth Shelton

wheelchair to help him get around easier, Dingus refuses to confine himself
to such measures. However, he did
spend the past summer building a deck
and wheelchair ramp that he can use as
the disease worsens.
"I just wanted to build it myself,"
Dingus said.
While he does purchase some material from Lowe's Home Improvement
or craft stores such as Michael's in
Huntington, W.Va., Dingus also takes
advantage of his surroundings and has
collected pieces of glass from a demolished church to use for mosaic purposes.
While Dingus said his writing is
nearly impossible to interpret, his artwork never lacks intricate detail,
though he said it is getting harder to do
the fine detailed points.
"When the medicine wears off, it's
gets hard," Dingus said.
Dingus often finds inspiration for
his work from old pictures or scenes of
nature. He also likes to use images
from his past to inspire him, such as
one of his favorites, titled "Chicken 'n
Dumplin's." A two-piece painting, the
first shows his mother slaughtering a
chicken, and the second shows her in
the kitchen making dumplings.
He also likes to use his artwork as
gifts. After his mother passed away, he
designed frames for doilies his mother
had owned and gave them to each of
his sisters to remember her by.

Living life 'normally';
Coping with epilepsy
by KATHY J. PRATER
FEATURES EDITOR
Growing up with epilepsy
can make a kid feel "different,"
but 21-year-old Chris Prater, of
Hueysville, says that he was
determined to live as normal a
life as possible while dealing
with his condition as he was
growing up in Floyd County.
Chris, who reminds us that
epilepsy "is not a disease," says
that he was diagnosed with the
disorder at about age 4. "I've
been going to doctors ever
since," he said.
Epilepsy is defmed as a
common chronic neurological
disorder that is characterized
by recurrent unprovoked
seizures. These seizures are due
to abnormal, excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in
the brain. About 50 million
people worldwide have epilepsy, according to recent statistics.
Epilepsy can be controlled,
but not cured, through the use
of medication. In difficult
cases, surgery may be considered. "Doctors talked once
about surgery with me," Chris
said, "but it didn 't sound like
anything I really wanted to do,
so I decided against it."
Chris said that when his
epilepsy first began to present
itself, he "didn't fully understand what it was, or what was
going on."
"Back then," he continued,
"I didn't fully know how to
explain it, like to my friends
and all, because I didn't really
know myself."
As a child, this sometimes
made Chris feel as though he
stood out as different and he
sometimes experienced teasing
from schoolmates who, themselves, were unable to understand Chris' condition.
"It isn't something that's
easy for other people to understand," he said. "And I can't
tell when I'm going to have a
seizure. It just happens. My
doctors tell me that mine is one
of the most unusual cases of
epilepsy they have ever seen
because of the type of seizures
I have. I have what they call
Story continues, next page ,...
Chris Prater, of
Hueysville, has
dealt with epilepsy
since early childhood and says he
doesn't allow the
condition to place
restrictions on his
life.

petit mal seizures. They last
for about 5 to 10 seconds
and I know what's going on
around me as they are happening. I can' t control
what's happening, but I'm
aware. It looks like I'm just
staring off into space, but I
know what's going on."
Another type of seizure,
referred to as grand mal, has
been experienced by Chris,
"maybe two or three times
in my whole life." "At those
times," he said, "I pretty
much just blacked out. I
didn 't know I was having
them. But those cases have
been rare in my life. For the
most part, I have the small
seizures and I know what's
going on."
One of the biggest inconveniences, Chris says, in
dealing with epilepsy is that,
due to his condition, he is
unable to drive. "I know
people with epilepsy who
do c!Jive," he said. "I guess
they feel pretty sure that
their medication is going to
keep things under control,
but I think they are taking a
tisk. I just don't feel comfortable taking a risk like
that myself. I mean, what if
something happened and I
ended up going over a guard
rail or causing other people
to be hurt? It just isn't the
worth the risk to me. I want
to be more careful than
that."
In some cases, epilepsy
syndromes are confined to
particular stages of childhood. "Sometimes, people
grow out of it," Chris said,
"but that hasn' t happened to
me yet, unfortunately."
In some cases, epilepsy
has been known to be triggered by such provocants as
flashing or flickering lights,
reading, hot water on the
head or hyperventilation. In
Chris' case, however, no
such provocants seem to
,
exist.
"I don' t know of anything that really causes me
to have an episode," he said.
"Flashing lights certainly
don't bother me. I go to
shows and concerts all the
time where strobe lights are
being used and yeah, the
lights bother my eyes, but
they bother everybody's
eyes," he laughed. "They
don't cause me to have
seizures."
Chris shares that being a
young person and being
unable to drive sometimes
hinders his freedom and
causes him to become
depressed. "I get kirld of
depressed sometimes," he
said, "but you know, I have
to deal with it and I do. I try
really hard to not let my
epilepsy keep me from
enjoying life."
Chris says that he hopes
that in sharing his story, others will come to more fully
understand that "epilepsy is
not a disease," and that
those with the disorder can
lead full and happy lives. "I
just don 't let it stop me," he
said. "I would tell anyone
with epilepsy to just go
ahead and do all the things
that their friends are doing. I
never let it stop me from
hanging out with my
friends . You can't let it control you in that way. Learn
what you can about it and
explain it to your friends,
then they will understand.
For myself, I just have
vowed to live my life as
normally as possible."

p
FRANKFORT - Gov.elect Steve Beshear selected former state legislator
Joe Prather as his transportation secretary Friday.
Prather, 67, who served
in the General Assembly in
the 1970s and 1980s,
promised transparency in
the cabinet and said he welcomed public and media
scrutiny of the vast agency.
He also promised efficiency, saying the cabinet
under his leadership will "get
a dollar's value for a dollar
paid" for salaries and contracts.
He also promised a fair
process for contractors
wanting to do business with
the state.
"All who want to do business with the state, if what
they're asking for is a level
playing field, then I'm their
man," Prather said. "If
· they've come to us and
want just what they want,
then we have problems."
Prather also asked for
patience to give him '1ime to
get my arms around what's
going on in that cabinet."
Like Beshear, Prather
returns to state government
after a long hiatus. He
served three terms in the
Kentucky House beginning
in 1967. He was elected to
the state Senate in 1973
and served through 1986.
Prather, of
Elizabethtown, is also a former chairman of the state
Democratic Party and a former member of the
Democratic National
Committee. He also served
as finance secretary early in
former Gov. Brereton Jones
administration.
Prather also has been a
Real estate agent and auctioneer and is a former
chairman of a Hardin

Magistrate says

timely info
MANAGING E DITOR
PRESTONS BURG
What is normally a routine
item on the fiscal court's
monthly agenda became
somewhat heated Friday, as
one magistrate said he has
not been receiving the
information he needs to
adequately review the
county's finances.
When it came time to
approve transfers of funds,
Magistrate Jackie Edford
Owens interjected that he
had not had the opportunity
to review the request.
"I got this," Owens said,
holding up a blank sheet of
paper.
County Treasurer David
Layne acknowledged that
magistrates
had
not
received advance details of
the transfers, but said the
problem was a matter of
timing.
Layne noted that he did
not receive a full list of
claims until the day before
the meeting, and therefore
couldn't provide all of the
information to magistrates
ahead of the meeting. He
then said he is working to
streamline the process in
order to get the information
to magistrates sooner, perhaps by setting a cutoff for
claims one week prior to
fiscal court meetings.
Layne then explained
that the transfers proposed
in Friday's meeting called
for moving $100,000 from
the Local Government
Economic Assistance Fund
to the jail budget.
That explanation did not
appear to satisfy Owens,
however, who voted against
the transfers. The measure
passed 3-1.
Minutes later, Owens
objected to not getting full
information again, this time
during a proposal to bring
Parley Flanery Lane - a
road in his district - into
the county road system.
Owens said he had not
been given advance notice
of the proposal in time to
review the road himself.
Judge-Executive R.D.
"Doc" Marshall said he had
reviewed the road, which is
at Bucks Branch, and it
appeared to be in order. But
Owens said magistrates
were customarily given the
opportunity to review road
requests prior to action
being taken, and he asked
the court to table the
request to give him time to
do so.
That request was granted.

HARLAN - Jerry Blevins has
stood for weeks on a picket line with
his fellow nurses, thinking about his
mortgage, his tearful wife, his four

Pam Pace has been called names
and listed on the "wall of shame" posted outside her hospital for crossing the
picket line and continuing to work.
Last week, her tires were slashed.
"Someone's got to stay in here and take
care of the patients," she said.
It's been a stressful seven weeks for
the 750 registered nurses at
Appalachian Regional Healthcare, the
region's largest hospital system, which
has nine facilities in eastern Kentucky
and West Virginia. Six hundred nurses
have refused to cross the picket line.
Some, like Blevins, have put their
livelihoods on the line since Oct. 1,
saying their goal is to ensure better care
for patients. Others, like Pace, say they
either cannot afford to walk off their
jobs or don't want to abandon their
patients.

Freedom of the press is
not an end in itself but a
means to the end of
[achieving] a free society.
- Felix Frankfurter
WtU~T H._PPEN~
IN VEG~'S .•.
Reaching across
party lines
For the first time in many months, Lt. Gov. Steve Pence has
something meaningful to do. Ironically, it was Gov.-clect Steve
Beshear, a Democrat, who gave the Republican lieutenant governor a new assignment.
ln naming his transition team Thursday, Bcshear named Pence,
the state's first Republican lieutenant governor since 1946, chairman of the Justice Cabinet. In that role, the governor-elect said
Pence will work with outgoing members of the Fletcher administration lo determine upcoming deadlines and other pertinent information to keep state government flowing.
Pence already knows quite a bit about the Justice Cabinet.
That's because for the firstlwo-and-a-half years of the Fletcher
administration, the lieutenant governor doubled as secretary of the
Justice Cabinet. However, when Pence announced in June 2006
that he would not seek re-election as lieutenant governor as part
of the Fletcher ticket in 2007, the guvemor immediately removed
Pence as justice secretary.
Since then, Pence has been practically invisible in Frankfort,
and his split with the governor was to the detriment of the
Fletcher administration. Pence served well as justice secretary,
working closely with Allorney General Greg Stumbo and other
Democ.,"Tats to successfully advance his proposals.
But since his split with the governor, Pence has been drawing a
full salary for doing little or nothing as lieutenant governor.
Overnight, Pence went from being a real bargain by doing two
jobs a<; lieutenant governor to drawing a high salary for doing
nothing. As evi\,lence of how lillie he has had to do, the last postings on the lieutenant governor's Web site were in 2006.
Pence is not the only. wcll-lmown Republican to he named to
Beshear's transition team. Former slate representative Steve Nunn
- the son of the last Republican governor before Fletcher - was
named chairman for the Environmental and Public Protection
Cabinet. Nunn, who lost to Fletcher in the 2003 Republican
gubernatorial primary, endorsed Beshear during the fall campaign
and bas widely been mmorcd a<; playing a key role in the Beshcar
administration.
Beshear promised to reach across political boundaries in his
administration, and he immediately picked two good Republicans
to help fulfill that promise. Whether Pence and Nunn will have
just a temporary role in helping the new governor form his cabinet or they will take on larger, more permanent roles in the new
administration remains to be seen. But both Pence and Nunn
would he assets to the new administration.

The children's crusade
- socializing medicine
Democrats arc altogether too
modest in the claims they make for
·the SCHlP children's health-insurance program. They talk only about
what it docs to cover needy families
with uninsured kids, but never about
all the wondrous things 1l can do for
middle-class families with their own
private insurance.
President Bush vetoed the
Democratic re-authori1ation of Lhe
bill as too profligate. The House
upheld his veto, but not without
' Democrats gleefully portraying the
president as an enemy of children's
health.
At bottom, the argument is about
whether !he government will extend
public coverage further up the
income scale- including to i'amilies
already with their own insurance in a push toward national health
insurance. All children below Lhe
poverty line ($20,650 for a family of
four) are eligible for Medicaid. So the
argument over SCHIP is not about
"poor kids.'' Congress enacted the
program in 1997 to help cover kids
wbose families aren't poor, but still
can't arrord insurance, basically in
the income range of up to 200 percent
of the poverty line.
The CongTessional Budget Office
;;ays that the rate of uninsured among
thest kids fell from 22.5 percent in
1996 to 16.9 percent in 2005. Many
of these children, if uninsured, would
get publicly funded health care anyway, through public clinics and the
like. For them, SCHIP makes sense.
The problem
is that, as fami1ies earn more,
they arc more
likely lo have
private insurance.
and
SCHlP lures
them from private insurance
onto government insurance.
The CBO estimates that for
every 100 children enrolled in
SCHIP, 50 children are dropped off
private coverage.
The technical term for this phenomenon is "crowding out'"; the nontechnical term is "~ocia.hzing medicine." Since lhc federal government
picks up two-thirds or the lab for
state-admini~tered SCHIP programs.
slates have an if)centive to expand
coverage - for every $1 they spend
on the benefit. the reds pony up $3.
And expand they have. Fifrecn
states cover kids and families above
200 percent of the pove1ty lcvd. New
Jersey covers kids up to 350 percent
of the poverty level. New York wants
to go to 400 percent. By throwing an
additional $35 billion al the program
throughout the next five years, the
Democratic bill guarantees the program will grow well beyond its original purpose of insuring "ncar-poor'"
kids.
Of children in families between
200 percent and 300 percent of
poverty, only 9.8
percent
were
uninsured
in
2005. There arc
less-sweeping
means like
tax credits - to
help these families get coverage
in the private
health-insurance
market.
Meanwhile,
there are 5.5 million poor or ncar-poor kids- roughly 60 percent of all uninsured kids who arc eligible for public insurance
now, but aren't enrolled. These kids
arc likelier to come from single-parent or no-parent families and families
where all parents are unemployed.
The focus should be on them rather
than families with the wherewithal to
lend for themselves.
·Few things arc as destructive of
good public policy as outraged invocations of the "children.?' Democrats
probably will benefit politically from
their ploy on SCHlP, and advance a
goal that goes far beyond low-income
kius.

National Review.

They billed it as a debate between
Democratic presidential candidates
in Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly
Love, but what it turned out to be was
an ambush.
The male candidates jumped out
from behind their rocks and began
whacking Hillary Clinton, the front
runner. like a pinata.
They accused her of being untrustworthy, duplicitous, sneaky and
unable to brush after every meal. If
the debate had gone on for much
longer, they'd have accused her of
kidnapping the Lindbergh baby.
John Edwards, quite obviously the
best lawyer of the group, led the way.
"Senator ClinLon says ... she will
end the war, hut she continues to say
she'll keep combat troops in Iraq <llld
continue combat missions in Iraq ....
"I. ttiink the Americ~Ul people,
given Lhis historic moment in our
country's history, deserve a president
or the United Slates thai they know
will tell them the truth, and won't say
one thin!! one Lime and something
different 'at a different time."
Silky smooth Bm·ack Obmna sang
the same tunc, in a minor key, accusing Clinton of "changing positions
whenever it's polilically convenient"
on issues like the North American
Free Trade Agreement, torture and
the Iraq war.
"Now. that may be politically
savvy, but 1 don"t think that it offers
the clear contrast that we need," he
said.
Even old Chris Dodd cranked
himself up to challenge Clinron's
"electability."
·· ... there arc 50 percent of the
American public that say they're nor
going to vote for her....T don't necessarily like it. but those
are the fa<.:ls."
Nor
did
the
debate's moderators,
Brian Williams and
Tim Russert. take it
easy on th~ lady. After
spending most of the
night rolling out softballs on UFOs or
Halloween costumes,
they got after Hillary
on her alleged support
of a proposed la~· to allow illegal
inllilignuns to obtain drivers' licenses.
She an"wered it one way. then
went back the other way. finally
accusing her interrogators of playing
a game of ..gotcha" with her. (What
in the world diu ~he think the game
was. bean hag? To add to that sense of
victimitation. her post-debate spinmeisters made an unfortunate attempt
to characteri1e the event as boys
ganging up on the girl. as she herself
did not. incidentully.)
Except for that part she stood ·up
to the grilling pretty well, parrying
the Lhrusts with vague answers and a
steely smile. Still. if Hillury. like
most poli~icians , really wants to have
things both ways she neL·ds to get better al it.
Some say Democrats <~houldn't go
after each other like that. They"re
wrong. lt was good training for the
front runner. Should thllary make it
to the nomination, she willlooJ... upon
the Philadelphia debute as fondly as
she would time spent"'. ith the marshmallow-throwing Lany King.
I fully expect the Republicans, no
matter who their candidate, to attack
he~ as viciously as any presidential
candidate has been attacked in recent
history. They will attack her political
record, her personal history. her
looks, her husband and
her daughter. They will
attack her underwear.
The Internet and the
right-wing radio will
be filled with ugly
rumors, nasty innuendo and i\nn Coulter.
It will be brutal anu
she· d better get ready
for it.
We've developed a
curious way of picking
candidates for the presidency. These
political "debates" we keep having
arc really more game show competitions than debates.
We line up the candidates and say:
"Tell us your plan for refom1ing
Social Security, Medicare and the tax
code. You have 30 seconds." It makes
gibberish of our political dialogue.
Tf a l(,reigner, totally unfamiltar
with any of the candidates, had
walked in on the Philadelphia debate,
he'd have had no problem picking
out the most qualitied candidate. It
was, withom question, Joe Bidcn.
Biden, who has been around the
hlock 1-l-3 times, simply knows more
about government, particularly foreign affairs, than any or lhe others.
Naturally, he has no chance.
I swear, if J wake up one morning
and Rudy Giuliani is president r m
moving to Canada. Northern Canada.

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
A few things you should know about batteries
by TOM and RAY MAGLIOZZI
Dear Tom and Ray:
Summing up my Saturday:
Me (the boyfriend) to Her (the
girlfJiend): "Your car's not struting
right; your battery may be going out."
Her to Me: ·'When you have time.
can you maybe fix it. please?"
(Translation: ''Before you even thmk
about doing anything fun this weekend ... ")
Clerk (at auto-part<; store) to Me:
"Yep, your [Autolite 84] battery's
almo">t shot.··
Me to Clerk: "But I put it in new
... just two years ago. Doesn't the big
'84' on the battery mean '84 months'
... as in '84-month (7-year) warran'?''
t y.
Clerk to Me: "Sure, but car batteries never last more than two or three
years; that's why the manufacturer
prorates them so heavily."
Me to Clerk: '·Oh, sure, I knew
that. Just give me another one.''
(Translation: rm way too cool to
admit l have no idea (A) what's
occurring here, and (B) if I'm getting
taken.'')
So, my question to you on behalf
of guys everywhere is: Why do carbattery manufacturers promote batteries as being ''84-month battenes''
if they seldom last more than 24 to 36
months? And if cur batteries aren't
going to last more than 24 lo 36
months, what arc boyfriend' paying
extra for when they buy their girltiicnds "84-month ·· batterie~ rather
than less-expensive "72-month.''
''60-month" or "48-month" batteries?
-Gary
RAY: Well, the numbers on the
batteries relate to their warranties,
Gary. So an ·'84-month battery" is
one that's wan·anted for 84 months. [f
it fails before 84 months, il'll be
replaced.
TOM: There's a "free replacement
pe1iod," where the battery is replaced
for nothing during the first one to
three years (depending on how good
your particular battery's warranty is).
After that, they'll prorate it, which
means they'll give you some money
back. depending on how old the battery is when it dies and how much
time is left on the warranty.
RAY: And while batteries do vary,
in our experience batteries sold by
reputable retailers generally last
about as long as then· warranties suggest they'll last. So a seven-year (84month) battery usually lasts about
seven years. That's because those
longer-life batteries have more lead
plates in them.
TOM: Almost all replacement batteries sold in the United States arc
made by three big companies:
John-..on Controls, Exide and East
Penn. Retailers like Sears or NAPA
specify exactly what they want in a
battery. and one of those three manufacturers makes the batteries to those
specifications.
RAY: Generally speaking. the reputable retailers will order up batteries
of sufficient quality to make good on
their longevity claims. It you buy a

the film are also a weary lot

What especially works here
is the side story of Sean and
the harsh light it shines on bjs
unstable mother. She obviously is not fit to be a parent and
the movie doesn't shy away
from her cruel treatment of
Sean. which includes a heartbreaking moment in which he

off camera for a thrashing that

Despite all of the heavyhanded situations, there is also
some dark humor on display,

Hunting safety
paramount in light
of recent fatalities
TIMES STAFF REPORT
TIMES STAFF REPORT
FRANKFORT - Five hunters
• have died in Kentucky since
September, including three fatalities reported Tuesday.
Kentucky Department of Fish
and Wildlife Resources officials
are urging hunters to follow safe
firearms handling rules and to
always hunt with safety in mind.
While specific details of the incidents are not being released due
to pending investigations, preliminary evidence suggests nearly all
could have been prevented. Four
of the five deaths involved
firearms.
"It's a matter of going back to
the basics," said Sgt. John
Anderson, with Kentucky Fish
and Wildlife's Law Enforcement
Division. "Of all the incidents
I've heard about, they all could
have been avoided by following
the basic safety rules."
Those rules include the basics
of safe gun handling, laws that
require hunter orange clothing
during firearms deer and elk seasons, mandatory hunter education
requirements and tree stand safety. These rules, when followed at
all times, make hunting a safe
sport for all participants.
"Almost all hunting incidents
involve a lapse in followjng safety rules," said Bill Balda, hunter
education program supervisor for
Kentucky Fish and Wildlife.
Basic gun safety rules include
the following:
-Always point your firearm in
a safe direction.
- Keep the firearm's action
open and the firearm unloaded
until you are ready to shoot.
-Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
- Know your target. Do not
~ shoot at sound or movement.
"
- Know what is beyond your
target. Make sure there is a safe
background that will stop your
bullet behind the target.
- Do not hunt or shoot after
drinking alcohol or taking drugs.
Some prescription medications
warn against operating machinery after taking them and should
not be used when handling a
firearm.
Kentucky law requires hunters
to wear unbroken hunter orange
clothing visible from all sides on
the head, back and chest when

DISTRICT CHAMPIONS
Blackcats blank Valley a second time
by JAMIE HOWELL
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
PRESTONSBURG- After grinding out a hard-fought
win over Shelby Valley just three weeks
prior, Prestonsburg entered the second
round of the playoffs expecting another
tough battle. That would seem to be the
case throughout the first half on Friday
as the Blackcats led only 7-0 at halftime.
But a strong ses::ond half saw the
Blackcats put up 31 points on their way
to a 38-0 shutout win. The first quarter
ended scoreless, as both offenses sputtered over the first 12 minutes. Shelby
Valley would put together drive early
in the second quarter that would take the
football to the Blackcat 6 yard-line.
After having a first-and-goal form the
six, Valley would come up short on a
fourth-and-goal from the four yard-line.
Prestonsburg would take over and proceed to march down the field, capped by
a 10-yard touchdown scamper from
junior tailback Allen Craynon. Clay
Jamerson's extra point gave the cats a 70 lead with three minutes remaining in
the first half. The turning point of the game took place
early in the third quarter, as junior Austin Gearheart
blocked a Sheby Valley punt attempt and the Blackats
would recover at the Valley 11-yard line. Prestonsburg
would need only two plays to add to the lead, as Craynon
rumbled in form five yards out giving the Blackcats a 140 lead with 9: I 0 left in the third quarter. After a Shelby
Valley fumble that was recovered by Austin McKinney,
the Blackcats would add to the lead on a 22 yard fieldgoal by Jamerson. Prestonsburg built a 17-0 lead with

PIKEVILLE - Changes have
been made to next week's
Thanksgiving Classic at Pikeville
College.
Ohio Christian University, one
of the three teams scheduled to
compete in the men's basketball
event, withdrew from the event on
Wednesday,
leaving
only
Campbellsville and Cincinnati
Christian to join the Bears.
As a result, games, game times
and the site have been changed.
"The timing of this is regrettable but out of our hands," said
Kelly Wells, men's basketball
coach. "We have exhausted all
possibilities to replace them, but at
this late date, we were really put in
a tight spot.
"We also begged them to
reconsider, but they , feel like
they're in a position where playing
next week is not possible. We
regret it for us and for our fans, as
well as for Campbellsville."
Each team may make application to the NAIA to receive a forfeit for the games to be played
against Ohio Christian. For Wells,
that only slightly fixes the issue.
"We need to play," said Wells,
in his second season as head of the
Bears. "We were already a game
shy on our schedule and only had
29 regular-season dates. This
makes it even worse. We needed
to play the game more than simply
get credit with the victory."
The Classic, originally scheduled for the Eastern Kentucky
Expo Center, will now be played
at the Pikeville College Gym. "We
just didn't feel it was feasible to
play there with us now being
down to only one game per night.
We're very thankful to the Expo
Center for understanding our situation and letting us come off the
obligation."
On Tuesday night, Cincinnati
Christian will play Campbellsville
at 6 p.m. On Wednesday, CCU
will play the Bears, also at 6 p.m.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. -Rusty

"I think that's one thing to

Somehow, four-time champion Gordon and reigning

said. "We go through emotions

moments where we didn't
agree with what was going on
out on the track, but we've
always been able to talk
through it, have that respect."'
Wallace, the 1989 Cup
champion, said it isn't really
surprising how well the two
native Californians get along,
considering their similarities.
"They're both close to the
same age," said Wallace, now
an analyst ror the ABC/ESPN

Johnson looked a little
sheepish when asked to reply
to the same question.
"I really can't think of
anything about Jeff that irritates me," he said, shrugging.
"It is complicated and it is
tough a times. But having

·'We both have shown that

KentuckV Afield Outdoors: venison processing tips part two - avoid the mvths
by HAYLEY LYNCH
KENTUCKY AFIELD
FRANKFORT - Ask 10
different bunters how to
process a deer, and you're
likely to get 10 different
answers. Like many things in
hunting, opinions vary .and
conventional wisdom is sometimes a little closer to myth. 1
asked a couple of expert deer
processors to help hunters figure out fact from fiction.
One myth that perseveres
in some hunting circles
involves removing a deer's
scent glands. These glands arc
located on the inside of the
hocks on the back legs. Bucks
urinate to spread their scent
during the rut, and together
with the glands' own secTetions they give oil a strong
smell. Some hunters say that if
you don't cut the glands out,
the meat will have an off or
"gamey" taste. Meat processor and Anderson County
Conservation Officer Sgt. Rex
Burkhead disagrees.
"Most people do more
damage by putting a knife into
those things and proceeding to
process than they would if
they'd just leave them alone,"
he says. ''If you're going to
skin the deer anyway, why
contaminate your knife?"
Burkhead
recommends
carefully skinning the deer
from the inside out so you
don't rub hair all over the
meat. Don't touch Lhe glands
and you won't risk contaminating the meat.
Burkhead also hears a lot
of hunters say you shouldn't
rinse orr deer meat with water.
"When you get it hung up,
clean the meat. Use water to
· rinse all the dirt. dried blood
and hair away," he says. "The
cleaner it is, the better it will
be preserved. Bacteria will
assist in decomposition."
Another point of contention among hunters is
whether or not you should
leave
a
deer
hanging
overnight. Some hunters hang
the1r deer to help age and tenderize the meat. Taylorsville
Lake Wildlife Management
Area foreman Bill Mitchell
says the age of the deer itself
has more to do with meat tenderness than how long it
hangs before processing.
"My thinking is the age of
the animal will dictate tenderness," he says. "T subscribe to
the theory that the quicker you
get the meal cooled, the better."
For hunters without access
to a walk-in cooler, hanging a
deer for days and allowing the
meat to go through temperature changes during the day
and night can do more harm to
the
meat
than
good.
Particularly with Kentucky's
fall temperature shifts. hunters
are often beller off cooling
down the animal quickly and
butchering it the same day of
the hunt.
Just because a deer isn "t a
six-month-old fawn doesn 'l
mean the meat has to be
tough. "T hear hunters say ·a
big buck's no good - it's
gamey'," Mitchell says. "T

Fancy receivers in Cardinals-Bengals matchup could hinge on the down-and-dirty
by JOE KAY
ASSOCIATED. PRESS
CINCINNATI
So.
which set of receivers is hctter?
Is it Ari..:omfs Larry
Fitzgerald
and
Anquan
Boldin, a pair or Pro Bowl
pass catchers who make
everything look so easy?
Or would it be Cincinnati 's
Chad Johnson and T.J.
Houshmandzadch, a pair of
complementary players who
can change a game as readily
as they speak their minds?
"Aw, come on guys! Tthink
we're
the
best."
said
Houshmandt.adeh, who leads
the NFL with 68 catches.
"Why would I think any different? But 1 like the
Cardinals receiving corps, not
just because we're playing the
Cardinals. If I didn't. I would
tell you I don't think they're
that good."
These guys are all very
good . In fact. they're the best
thing going in a reunion of
teams that don' t get together
very orten. The Cardinals (45) and Bcngals (3-6) haven' t
played since 2003 , when
Fitzgerald was still in college
and the other three were just
getting started in the pros.
They 've all come a long
way. E ven Bengals coach
Marvin Lewis, who disdains
the look-at-me mind-set of so
many modem-day receivers,
had to com:ede that these guys
arc something to behold.
"It' 11 probably be the prettiest group of wide receivers,
on both sides o f the football,
that you' ll see in the NFL,"
Lewis said. "We need our
guys to come out and be the
best group."
The Bengals need a lot
more than that. The game likely will hinge not on the fastand-fancy, bur on the downand-dirty. Will the Bengal'> be
able to run the ball?
For the last two weeks,
they haven ' t. They managed
only 28 yards on 17 caiTies in
a 33-21 loss at Buffalo that
essentially scuttled their season, and followed that with
only 70 yards on 34 tries in a
21 7 win at Baltimore.
Cincinnati had to settle for
seven field goals against the
Ravens because they couldn't
run when they got inside the
20-yard line.
1t was so bad that Lewis
suggested the Bengals "got
our butt kicked" when they
tried to run the ball - the ultimate challenge for a blocker.
''We're going to have to
move guys," left guard
Andrew Whitwo11h said.
"Anytime you gel called out
by the coach. there' s something to prove."
A1izona remained one
game out of first plal.:e in the
NFC
West by
making
Detroit's running game go in
reverse during a 31-21 victory
last week. The Lions ran the
ball eight times and lost 18
yards, the worst modern-day
showing in the NFL.
Very impressive.
"I'm surprised when people talk about good defenses,
they don't bring up the
Cardinals," Houshmandzadch
said. "Because when I
watched them on tape, it was,
~wow.'"
Tr the Bengals can gel any
semblance of a running game
going to keep Lhut defense
from locking in, it could tum
into the type of game those
four receivers love.. The
Bengals lost in Cleveland 51 45 in the second week of the
season, and the Cardinals
wouldn't mind going the same
route.
"Every game to me should
be a track meet," said
Fitzgerald, who leads the NFC
with 58 catches. "lf we threw
the ball 60 times a game, you
wouldn't hear any complain ts
from me."
Everyone
except
the
Ravens has been able to move
the ball on a Bengals defen-:e
that has ranked ncar the bottom of the league for years .
One of its worst days came in
1999, when Kurt Warner had a
perfect passer rating of 158.3
while leading the St. Louis
Rams to a 38-1 0 victory in
Cincinnati.
That was his only career
start against the BengaJs, who
will get to see a Cardinals
offense just now rounding into
form.
Wa:tncr is starting to feel
comfortable with the brace he
wears to protect a tom ligament in his left arm; he went
26-of-36 for 259 yards and
three touchdowns against
Detroit. Boldin has been limited to 36 catches and five
toul:hdowns because of a sore
hip.
"Kurt is starting to feel better with his elbow and become
a little m ore efficient," coach
Ken Whisenhunt said. "So I'm
excited that at this time of the
yea r we have a chance to grow
as an offense and get a little
bit better, which we did last
week. Hopefully we can continue with that."
Cincinnati's offense hopes
to become more than the
Shayne Graham show this
week. Even with No. 3 receiver Chris Henry back from his
eight-game suspension, the
offense couldn' t make much
headway when it got close to
the goal line in Baltimore.
Henry had four catches for
99 yards, including a 50 yard
reception when he simply ran
past two defenders to catch
Carson Palmer's pass.
"Hopefully I'll he better
thi s week than J was last
week .'" Henry said. '·it would
be good to get into the end
zone.''
It would be a breakthrough.
Joe Nuxhall, Reds broadcaster and baseball's youngest player dies
by JOE KAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ClNClNNATl
Joe
Nuxhall, who was the youngest
player in major league history
and the beloved "oJd left-bander'' on Cincinnati Reds radio
broadcasts, died overnight following a bout with cancer, the
team said Friday. He was 79.
Nuxhall"s health problems
multiplied in recent years but
couldn't keep him away fi'om
the game or the broadcast booth
for long. lie had surgery for
prostate cancer in 1992, followed by a mild heart attack in
2001.
The cancer returned last
February, when Nuxhall was
preparing for the Reds· spring
training in Sarasota. Fla. The
broadcaster called some game.<;
last season even though his left
leg was swollen by tumors. He
was hospitalized again this
week.
He retired as a full-time
radio broadcaster after the 2004
seac;on, the 60th anniversary of
his historic pitching debut.
Nuxhall and play-by-play
announcer Marty Brennaman
described
the
Big
Red
Machine's two World Series
titles in the 1970s, Pete Rose's
return as player manager and
then banishment for gambling
in the 1980s, and another World
Series champiOnship in 1990.
Nuxhall's place in baseball
lore was secured the moment he
stepped onto a big-league field.
With major league rosters
depleted dming World War ll,
he got a chance to pitch in relief
for the Reds on June 10, 1944.
No one in modern baseball
history has played in the majors
at such a young age- 15 yem·s,
I 0 months, 11 days old. He gut
two out<; against St. Louis
before losing his composure,
then went eight years before
pitching for t4e Reds again.
"When you think of all rhc
individuals that played at the
major league level and you're
the youngest in the history of
the game and in the Guinness
Book of Records, it docs make
you in awe or it," Nuxhall said
on the 50th anniversary of his
debut.
He got the chance purely by
chance.
Nuxhall grew up in nearby
Hamilton, Ohio, and was still
too young to shave when the
Reds were looking for wartime
replacement players. They
came to see his fdther, OrviHe,
who pitched in a Sunday league
in Hamilton.
"My dad could throw hard,"
Nuxhall said. "They were really
scouting him. Almost by accident, they found me."
Nuxhall was big for hi.s age
- 6-fool-3, around 190 pounds
- and could throw 85 mph.
The Reds offered a contract,
and Nuxhall's parent<> let him
join the team when junior high
classes let out in 1944.
He spent most of the time
watching from the bench,
a5sun1ing he'd never get into a
game. l11e Reds were trailing
Stan Musial's St. Louis
Cardinals 13-0 after eight
innings on June 10, 1944. when
manager Bill McKechnie
decided to give the kid a
chance.
Nuxhall was BO rattled when
summoned to warm up that he
tripped on the top step of the
dugout and fell on his face in
front of 3,510 fans at Crosley
Field. He was terrified when it
came lime to walk Lo the
mound.
"Probably two weeks prior
to that, l was pitching against
seventh-, eighth- and ninthgraders, kids 13 and 14 years
old,'' he said. "All of a sudden,
1 look up and there's Stan
MusiaJ and the likes. It was a
very scary situation."
Nuxhall walked one and
retired two bauers before glancing at the on-deck circle and
seeing Musial. Nuxhall unraveled - Musial got a line-drive
single, and the Cardinals scored
five runs as the young pitcher
lost his ability to throw a strike
and failed to get another out.
"Those people that were at
Crosley Field that afternoon
probably said, 'Wc11, that's the
last we·n see of that kid,"' s ummoned to commissioner
Bart Giamatti's office in 1988
Nuxhall said.

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
Roads
• Continued from p1
his district has only received "two
dumptruck loads" of asphalt this year.
County Attorney Keith Bartley
illustrated the problem further. He
said, during Democratic administrations, Floyd County would typically
receive between $700,000 and
$800,000 a year for paving, and occasionally would receive $1 million or
more. That changed, he said, after
Fletcher took office.
'This year, to the penny, we've got
Lero," Bartley said.
But not all of Floyd County suffered a lack of funding all the time,
Owens said. He pointed out that during 2006, when elections were held
for county offices, the state resurfaced 20 roads in Floyd County. But,
Owens said, the projects fell along
party lines. He noted that District I, 2
and 3 each saw one or two resurfacing projects, while District 4, then
represented by former Republican
Magistrate Alan Williams, was given
funding for 16 roads.
Now, as Democrat Steve Beshear
prepares to take up residence in the
Governor's Mansion, local officials
are hopeful that Floyd County will
safety upgrades Charles Wright says
it so desperately needs. However,
Marshall and other fiscal court members said Friday they would try to do
what they could to improve the road
before the weather gets too bad, and
then hopefully revisit the problems
once again, . after Beshear takes
offi ce.
once again see more funding for local
roads.
"Gov. Fletcher has given Floyd
County not one dime for our roads,"
Marshall said on election night, when
the voting results were coming in.
"But all that's about to change."
Meanwhile, with wi nter fas t
approaching, there is still no money
to give Woodland Hills Road the
Strike
• Continued from p1
the underserved coal mmmg
camps. Many of the nurses on
the picket Jines are the children and grandchildren of
miners.
"In most rural areas, the
hospitals tend to be the largest
employer in the area," said
Kenneth Troske, director of
the Center for Business and
Economic Research at the
University of Kentucky.
"Unfol1Unately, that gives the
hospital more power than in
other places, especially in the
labor market.
"They keep wages down, as
they should to minimile costs.
From a worker's standpoint in
a rural area, that's a problem.
It's a fact of life, it's not right
or wrong."
So far, about 125 positions
vacated by striking nurses
have been filled and nearly
175 nurses have crossed the
picket line. ARH is relying on
nursing supervisors, tempo-
rary nurses, licensed practical
nurses and nurses' aides to fill
the gaps.
The contract rejected by the
nurses would have increased
insurance premiums for families, eliminated a policy of
paying nurses 40 hours of pay
for 36 hours of work and
reduced holiday pay from double-time to time- ano-a-half.
The pay range for ARH
nurses is S47,000 to $65,000
far above the $39,000
median household income 'in
Kentucky. In Appalachia ,
more than a quarter of the population lives below tpe federal
poverty level. Few other jobs,
beyond coal mining, offer better wages or compensation,
Troske said.
Payroll documents offered by
ARH show that nurses on
average worked 2.5 hours
overtime a week.
"Do I think we have a problem sometimes? Yes. Are we
perfect? Absolutely not,"
Haynes said. "Is it management's intent to work short and
not provide care to our
patients? No ."
But the striking nurses say
the dispute isn't about salaries.
They say staffing levels were
spread too thin and mandatory
overti me had become the
norm.
Haynes denied the claims,
saying federal and state regulators have never found that
ARH's staffing levels adversely affect patient o utcomes.

School put in lockdown 3 times
S TAFF W RITER
HI HAT - All precautions and
proper procedures have been put in
place as a Floyd County school was on
lockdown on three separate occasions
this week, as gun shells were found in
the school.
Officials at South Floyd High
School have found shells for a .22 caliber gun in the building on Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday, forcing them
to contact Kentucky State Police and
schedule.
"We're doing everything we can,"
said Henry. "All we can do is place the
school on lockdown and search till we
know it's safe."
All premises of the school, including
student's lockers, have been searched.
While an investigation is ongoing
with KSP, all students were required to
pass through a metal detector before
place the school on lockdown each
time.
According to Principal Keith Henry,
the shells were found in a bathroom on
Monday, in the hallway on Tuesday and
in both places on Thursday. Following
what _Henry refers to as "proper procedures," the entire school was searched
by school officials and Kentucky State
Police before resum ing on regular
entering into the school Wednesday, but
nothing suspicious was found.
"We've had KSP here every day,"
said Henry.
Despite the repeated lockdown procedures, Henry said that attendance at
the school has not been affected by the
incidents and that no one appears
"scared" to come to school.
"Of course, everyone is concerned,"
said Henry. "But we're doing everything we can."
KSP officials were unable to be
reached for comment as of press time.

Health Administration
office charged with assessing compliance with
agency enforcement
actions.
Charles Thomas is a
16-year agency employee
and is chief of health in
MSHA's Office of Coal
Mine Safety and Health.
The Fairmont native will
be responsible for reviewing mining data, conducting field audits, and recom•
mending and monitoring
corrective actions.
"As the director of the
Office of Accountability,
Charlie will focus on ensuring that MSHA enforcement across the nation is
diligent, vigorous and conducted with the strictest
regard for miners' safety,"
Richard E. Stickler, assistant secretary of labor for
mine safety a nd health,
said in a prepared statement.
MSHA created the
Office of Accountability following its reviews of last
year's Sago, Aracoma and
Darby mining accidents in
West Virginia and

PRESTONSBURG "I
did it because I hate smoke,"
said Larry Wells, manager and
co-owner of the Prestonsburg
Dairy Cheer. "I always have.
Going smoke-free j ust seemed
like a natural step to me."
Wells was more than happy,
Thursday afternoon, to accept a
framed certificate in recognition of being the fi rst
Prestonsburg restaurant to go
smoke-free, presented by
Thursa Slone, director of the
Floyd
County
Health
Department.
"We just wanted to recognize Dairy Cheer for being the
first to go smoke-free, way
before they had to," Slone said.
"It was a great step for them to
take."
,
Thursday was recogni1ed
nationally as ·'The Great
American Smokeout," a day
initiated by the American
Cancer Society to encourage
smokers to quit for a day in the
hopes that they may decide to
quit for a lifetime. In recognition of the day, staff from the
Floyd
County
Health
Department traveled the county
to present certificates to those
businesses and organizations
that have gone smoke-free.
Four decades after the 1964
U.S. Surgeon General's Report
on the health consequences of
smoking, smoking still remains
the leading cause of pre-
ventable death and disease in
the nation. Each year, approximately 440,000 Americans die
of smoking-related illnesses
and a·n estimated 50,000 nonsmokers die of illnesses related
to secondhand smoke.
On a positive note, however,
over 3 million Americans are
successful in q uilling each year.
Now, more than ever, numerous effective treatment options
exist to help support any smoker in their quest to quit the
unhealthy habit.
Along with the many restaurants, businesses and organizations throughout the county
that have gone smoke-free

President and CEO Jerry

was made during the meeting,
including ARH's
response to the union's economic proposals as well as
a continuation of the discussions related to mandatory overtime.
Representatives from the
offices of West Virginia
G ov. Joe Manchin and
Kentucky Governor-elect
Steve Beshear also attended
the meeting.
"We have learned today
that the union has issued a
press release asking for the
representatives of Gov.
Manchin and Governorelect Beshear to issue a
written, fact-finding report
that proposes fair terms to
end the strike."
Tn response to the
release, ARH officials say
they are surprised by the
action the nurses' union has
chosen to take.
"We are surprised the
union has issued such a
press release while the
meeting is still continuing,"
said Haynes. "We are also
unclear as to what type of
fact-finding report the
union is requesting that
could end this strike, as
ARH has shared all relevant
information related to the
labor dispute with the representatives of both Gov.
Manchin and Governorelect Beshear."

Mongiardo says he' 11 keep his seat

touched down Wcdne<;day afternoon
about one mile west or the Pittsburg

ASHLAND - A man wearing a &ki
mask held up an eastern Kcntuckj icc
cream store with a stapler

got away with$ I 75.
Police 1dent1fied the stapler bandit as
Gerald A. Rocchi. 32, \\hO wa-; arrested
shonly after he allegedly Dashed a
chrom~-plated stapler at an employee
of The Tee Cream Shop m Ashland on
Tuesday and demanded money.
Ashland Police Capt. Don Petrella
said he didn't know 1f Rocchi planned
to shoot staples at the shop's employees
or use it a<. a blunt inqrument if he didn't get the cash. It didn't come to that
because the employees handed over the
cash, Petrella said.
Several witnesses saw Rocchi leave
the shop and told police where he was
headed, Petrella said. Arter arresting
Rocchi, police searched his house and
found money, a stapler and a ski mask,
Petrella said.
Petrella said the chrome finish on the
stapler could have made it look like a
gun "if someone didn't get a good look
at it."
Rocchi was charged with firstdegree robbery. He made his first
appearance in Boyd District Court on
Wednesday morning. He did not have
an atttxney at the hearing.

"For the Jirst time during
this seven week strike, mean
ingful progre!>s was made on
several issues," said Tanner.
"We are very encouraged that
ARH has agreed to further
negotiations in an effort to
resolve this dispute.''
According to Tanner, the
nurses spent much of the day
Thursday reviewing proposals
presented by ARH officials during Wednesday's negotiations
and preparing for Friday's session.
"Ti" progress continues on
Friday, we arc prepared ro continue meeting over the week
end, around the clock, in an

In addition, ARH said in a
press release Thursday that they
maintain this as an economic
strike and has challenged the
KNAJWYNA's National Labor
Relations Board filing as an
unfair lahor practice strike.
ARH originally proposed a
contract that promised an initial
2 percent pay raise, which
would increase Lo 3 percenl
over four years, and flexible
schedules thnt would allow
nurses Lo choo<;e either 10 or 12

said it's not about the money,
but rather gaining the hospital<;
respect and a<.:hieving principals
and that the proposed contrad
would have reduced holiday
pay and increased insurance
premiums, canceling out any
pay raise. In flyer's which have

Editorial roundup
The Dallas Moming News, on the price of oil:
"I am sorry to say this, but we are headed toward really
bad days," a prominent energy economist tqld Time magazine last week ....
That was no alarmist talking. It was Fatih Birol, the
chief economist for the International Energy Agency, an oil
industry organization whose annual World Energy Outlook
report is widely considered a reliable indicator of petroleum supplies ....
... Dallas oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens is one of the
petroleum expert~ who believes that world oil production
has peaked.... Others, including the International Energy
Agency. believe that the current shortage is critical but
manageable with necessary adjustments in both production
and consumption, as well as investments in research and
development. ...
... Whether the world supply of oil has absolutely
peaked or is not rising to meet demand because of human
folly, there's going to be a lot less of the black stuff around
in the near future. And that's going to hurt.
The (Nashville) Tennessean, on health insurance:
There's quite a spat emerging in the nation between doctors groups and health-care insurers, but at its heart is a
concept that could prove immensely valuable to patients.
It involves initiatives to rate doctors, based on cost and
quality of care, giving consumers important information to
shop and compare for the most cost-efficient service from
a meqical provider - the same kind of information a consumer would want when purchasing almost any other good
or service....
... Doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies
should all operate on a much more transparent basis. They
should be more open about their qualifications. performance record and what they charge for services ....
The day should come when people shop for health care
the same way they shop for any other service, with loads
of information at their fingertips. There is nothing remotely reflecting that goal in place now. But just as everyone
can agree patients deserve more information, there should
be universal agreement that the data is compiled fairly,
accurately and without a hidden motive. Insurers should
know that patients are suspicious about their motives
already. They don't need to feed that suspicion.
The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch, on money:
A house bill that would em the U.S. Mint's cost of making pennies. a· bothersome form of exchange, also would
allow an Ohio company to resume melting down older
pennies for their increasingly valuable copper content.
The very existence of this bi11 is a testament to the idiotic frittering away of taxpayers' money just to feed what
seems a national obsession wit_h minting and printing coins
and currency that have outlived their usefulness. How else
to explain legislation designed to change the metal content
of coins in order to cut costs of production? ...
... Making the lowest-denomination coins costs far more
than they are worth: about 1.6 cents per penny and 10
cents per nickel. The United States should phase out coins
that are a strain on the federal budget, along with the paper
Guest c o.l u m n
House week in
review
by STATE REP. HUBERT COLLINS
FRANKFORT -- Changes set to
take place in the Governor's Ollice
next month will have an immediate
impact on more than who gets which
Cabinet post. They will also affect
which legislation is given top billing
during the next state legislative session beginning in January, although
the reason why might not he what you
think.
The Kentucky General Assembly
will not consider Governor-Elect
Steve Beshear's legislative proposals
because it has to, since it is not
required to consider any legislative
proposal presented by the governor
(although it may be called into special
session by the governor to address
specific issues).
The state
Constitution guards against such rubber stamping by making the
Legislative Branch a "separate but
equal" brunch or government and
allowing only state lawmakers--not
the governor or anyone else--to file
bills that come before the General
Assembly ror consideration.
The only real say d1c governor has
over state lawmakers' work is how he
or she will enforce laws once they arc
passed and whether or not a law
passed by lawmakers should be
vetoed (even a veto can be overridden
by lawmakers with enough voles).
The reason .that state lawmakers
will likely consider the governor's
proposals--particularly his stale budget proposal--is because it is good
government. Both state lawmakers
and the governor know that they must
cooperate to meeLthe needs of the citizens they serve. So lawmakers who
are members of the governor's politlcal party typically agree to sponsor
his or her proposals in their respective
houses (House or Senate) to ensure
that those proposals, if deemed worthy by lawmakers, can he heard in
legislative committee and have a
chance for passage.
1t remains to he seen which key
issues from the Beshcar campaign
platform will b~ addressed by the
General Assembly in the upcoming
session. Some have speculated that
lawmakers will consider Bcshcar's
proposal to allow Kentucky's \·oters
to decide whether to permii casino
gaming at vmious statewide loca
tions, but that is yet unknown. Also.
plans for school reforn1, increasing
state Lourism, impro,.ing the quality
of life of seniors and helping
Kentucky families that were also part
of the Beshear platform have yet to he
filed for the Gene1·al Assembly's consideration. Chances are that those
proposals are being drafted now and
will receive legi~lative spon~orship at
some point over the next several
weeks.
Meanwhile the Governor-Elect is
wasting no time extending a hand of
cooperation to state legislative leaders
who have ~ tinal say on whether or
not his proposals make it through the
often difficult legislative process. He
met with those key lawmakers on
Wednesday during the monthly meeting or the General Assembly's
Legislative Research Commission
and spoke about goals ror his administration. lt v.rill be his ability to work
well with this core group, more than
anything else, that will determine
how tough the legislative process is
for him.
Lawmakers have a tough job
ahead of them, too, when it comes to
legislation up for consideration next
session. Beshear's proposals will
only comprise a small percentage of a
huge session workload that will
include hundreds of bills, most of
which address issues that were debated months or years before last week's
election.
Revamping the state
employee pension system and limiting illegal immigration in Kentucky
are just a couple of those issues,
although Lackling those alone will be
difficult at best. There is no doubt that
it will take a great deal or skill and
compromise for lawmakers to complete the task before when the session
begins on Jan. 8.
I will go into more detail about the
challenges racing the 2008 General
Assembly next week so that you can
be beller infonned about whaL will
happen in Frankfort in the coming
months. TL is certainly an exciting
time for Kentucky, and 1 am honored
to be able to serve you as we embark
on a new era of leadership for our
state.

TIMES COLUMNIST
One summer blockbuster and four
smaller scale films hit the racks this week
pro' ing once again that DVD premieres
more quality product than theaters nowa
days.
• ''Shrek the Third" - The kids should
enjoy this third romp through the land or
Far Far Away, but adult<; will notice that
the law of diminishing returns is in effect.
The jokes are okay but the tired plolling,
which finds Shrck in charge after Princess
Fiona's dad catches ill. lacks the sp1nt of
the first installment. That said the returning cast members provide some distraction
with Mike Myers. Eddie Murphy,
Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas
joined by newcomer Tan McShane
("Deadwood''), as Captain Hook.
• "Urban Justice"- Stephen Seagal i!>
back with another direct-to-video actioner,
but the results this time are actually quite
good. Seagal reUnils to the bmtal man on a
mission scenario Lhnl played well in "Out
for Justice.'' Here he is a dad seekmg
reYenge for the murder of hi~ son and anyone who gets in his way finds themselves
in heaps or trouble. Seagal gives a lean
mean pcrfonnance here and seems to he
back in the busmess of separating people
from their snot via 1ighteous healings.
• "Avenging Angel''
Former
"Hercules" slar Kevin Sorbo tries ror a
ch<mge of pace in this western saga that
mostly succeeds as another revenge driven drama. He is well ca~;t here as a
preacher who turns bounty hunter after a
gang murders the desperate refugees he
was housing in his church. Sorbo is that
rarity nf an actor who can handle dialogue
at1d fight scenes with equal vigor and is
called upon to do both hen: as _well as ride
a horse.
• "Driftwood" Director Tim
Sullivan follows up his horror outing
. "2001 Maniacs" with this chiller which
focuses on the slowly building terrors at
an attitude readjustment camp for trou-
bled teens. The story finds a young man
sent to the facility after h1s brother's death
leaves him in rough 5hape. Once there he
must contend with a sadistic drill sergeant
and the ghost or a former inmate who
mysteriously disappeared. Better than it
sounds and as a bonus you get a great turn
by wrestler Diamond Dallas Page ("The
Devil 's Rejects") as the drill master from
hell.
• "Fallen Angels" - Crime scene
technicians unearth a 150-year-old killing
spree when they invesligate a hody dump
underneath a prison m this shocker. which
offers tons or atmosphere and gore for terror fans. The film also features a dream
cast of horror veterans which include
Michael Berryman ("The Hills Have
Eyes"); Kane (Jason) Hodder; Bill
Moseley ("The Dcvil's Rejects"); and
Kevin ("Invasion of the Body Snatchers")
McCarLhy.

More than 800 people
attended the second Education
Conference and Excellence
Awards program, held at the
Eastern
Kentucky Expo
Center in Pikeville.
Kentucky Supreme Court
Chief Justice Joseph Lambert
was honored with the Hal
Rogers Special Recognition
Award for his vision to understand the value of Drug Court
as an alternative for non-violent drug offenders.
"Drug Court is about hope
and opportunity instead of a
jail sentence and addiction,"
said Bob Mitchell, district
administrator
for
Congressman Harold "Hal"
Rogers, who was unable to
attend the ceremony because
of a last-minute schedule
change in Washington, D.C.
Lambert, who was involved
in the creation of UNITE in
2003, insisted Drug Court be
part of the anti-drug program,
Mitchell said. At the time, only
five Drug Court programs
existed in the 29-county Fifth
Congressional District Tn
partnership
with
the
Administrative OITice of the
Couns, UNITE has added 30
new Drug Court programs.
UNTTE's success with
Dmg Courts has shown the
rest of Kentucky what is possible, Lambert said, noting most
of the state now has a Drug
Court program.

Appreciation Award .
..Day in and day out, we are
overwhelmed and saddened by
the destruction of this deadly
epidemic," Engle told the con
ference attendees. 'Today we
celebrate victories however
small they may seem in comparison to this massive problem. We have come to reali:r:e
that progress begins by taking
the first -;tep, and 1 am proud to
say that all of you arc taking
steps every day."
'·Community coalitions arc
the backbone of UNITE,"
Engle continued. "They are
made up of volunteers that
understand this core prindple
- you're either part of the
problem or you're part of the
solution. Our coalition members ~#ave resolved themselves
to being leaders charging
toward a solution."
Keynote speaker at the
award<> luncheon was Mike
England, a Northeast Georgia
pastor who helped spearhead
that region ·s fight against
drugs.
The UNITE model combining law enrorcement, treatment and education initiatives
can - and should - be implemented in every county in the
United States, said England,
who learned about UNITE
after seeing a program about
Clay County's efforts to battle
drugs on a 700 Cl uh broadcast
Inspired by what he saw,
England and his wife, DeDe,
traveled to Southeastern
Kentucky 10 learn more. Since
August 2006. more than
11,000 citizens in four Georgia
counties have held march and
rally events to raise awareness.
The day's activities included workshops by Youth to
Youth International's Ty Sells,
U.S.
Drug Enforcement
Administration
Agent
Shannon
Argctsingcr,
WestCare Kentucky's Erdil
Looney, and the Pike County
Youth Leadership Council.

Marshall
University used a 16-0 run late in the first

In the interim, Mullins,

And, until Friday night, all had
come up short.
But on Friday. Shelby Valley
knocked off Bath County and
ended our long national nightmare. For their efforts, they'll get
to travel to Prestonsburg for this
week's second round.
These players and coaches are
to be commended. Keep in mind
it wasn't their idea to expand to 14
classes this year, nor to make each
of the first two rounds repeats
from the regular season.
They went out and played the
game. They won. And as a result,
history will show it was the 2007
Shelby Valley Wildcats that ended
the 30-year run for Pike County.
-For the record, la'\t week saw
only 19 lower seeds won in their
.rematches in the opening week of
the playoffs. Of those, only 10
happened in the four lower classes. That means higher seeds were
77-19 in the opening round, winning 80.2 percent of the games.

And of the 32 top-seeded
teams (32! That's too many playoff teams and we have that many

louisville trving to salvage season in last 2 games
by WILL GRAVES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE
Eric
Wood has helped Louisville
make plenty or history over
the last three years.
Still, there's a chapter the
center hopes the Cardinals
don't write this season.
Louisville (5-5, 2-3 Big
East) has made a bowl game
nine straight years, but a loss
at South Florida (7-3, 2-3) on
Saturday would means the
Cardinals could stay home for
the holidays.
"1 know personally 1 don't
want to be on the team that
breaks the bowl streak, but we
knew all year we had to win
this game," Wood said.
While a victory over the
Bulls or Rutgers on Nov. 29
would technically make the
Cardinals bowl eligible, a
berth would be unlikely. The
Big East already has five
teams eligible for postseason
play, and only five direct
bowl tie-ins. The Cardinals
need to win their final two
games to take any guesswork
out of the equation.
"There's a lot of teams on
that cusp, a lot of 5-5. 6-5
teams across the country,"
said coach Steve Kraglhorpe.
"Obviously these two weeks '
are big ror us in terms or getting that 13th game. 1 think
players understand it. We' re
taking it one game at a time as
old cliche goes. But I think
our guys arc pretty astute in
terms of knowwg exactly
where we're at and what
we' ve got to get done to be a
bowl team."
To play that 13th gapte and
get the valuable weeks of
practice that come with it, the
Cardinals will need to do
something they' ve never
done: win at South Florida.
Louisville is 0-2 all-Lime at
South Florida, and were humbled in Tampa 45- 14 two
years ago, a game in which
Wood said the Cardinals got
"stomped."
"We made a lot of mistakes
early and it came back to kill
us at the end and they got the
best of us," Wood said.
lt's a rami liar script for Lhe.
Cardinals, who fell behind by
17 points to No. 5 West
Virginia last week. Though
they rallied to tie the game
late, the Mountaineers pulled
it out on a long touchdown
run by quarterback Pat White.
As heartening as the comeback was, it doesn ' t factor
into the equation when it
comes to bowl berths.
"We play to win and there
are no moral victories around
this place," Kragthorpe said.
" If we win we're happy, if we
lose we ' re not. Nobody's
happy around here that we
played well or that we played
beller. We didn' l win the
game. That's the bottom line."
The bottom line is, to get
bowl eligible the Cardinals
will need to find a way to stop
one of the nation's most
dynamic teams.
The Cardinals will be

ot Auburn and West Virginia

Graham's 7 FGs delight fantasy fans, lift lowly Bengals
by JOE KAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
•
CINCINNATI - On his
way back to town after kick. ing those seven field goals,
Shayne Graham started
answering all the phone cans
and returning the laudatory
e-mails and text messages.
For fantasy football players, the Cincinnati Bengals
kicker was a differencemaker. For his teammates,
Graham was a godsend.
He set a team record by
going 7-for-7 on field goals
in a 21-7 victory Sunday in
Baltimore. Graham's biggest
day as a kicker led the
Bengals to their first road
victory since last Nov. 26, a
30-0 win in Cleveland.
"We're all walking in the
locker room with smiles
today, and that's something
we didn't have for a while,"
Graham said Monday.
For the Bcngals (3-6), ir
was momentary relief from a
bad season. For Graham, it
was the first big moment in
one of his quietest seasons.
He'd never kicked more than
four field goals in a game
during his career.
The messages started
pouring while the Bcngals
were on their way back from
Baltimore.
"Between all the phone
calls and text messages, people congratulating me and
thanking me for the fantasy
league points and things like
that- that's what a lot or the
messages were for;· Graham
said. " Some of the e-mails I
got were kind of fun to get."
Graham connected from
34, 19, 22, 35, 35, 21 and 33
yards, bailing out an offense
that couldn't come up with a
touchdown play. The seven
t1eld goals were one shy of
the NFL record, set earlier
this season by Tennessee's
Rob Bironas.
The seventh-year kicker is
one of the most accurate in
NFL history, converting 140
of his 164 chances. or 85.4
percent. He missed his first
try of the season, coming up
short on a 53-yard allempt in
a 27-20 win over Baltimore
in the opener.
Since then, he's been perfect on 19 tries, setting a club
record for consecutive field
goals made.
With the Bengals struggling and losing, Graham
hasn't had a chance to make
a game-winning kick. He ' d
had few chances overall until
Sunday.
"It had been a very quiet
season for me," he said.
For the Bengals as well.
After a Monday night win
over Baltimore got their season orr on a high note, the
Bengals won only one more
game - over the lowly Jets
- before their rematch on
Sunday.
Their
defense.

had its best game, holding
the self-destructive Ravens
scoreless until the fourth
quarter.
ln each of those two wins
over Baltimore, the Ravens
had a pair of interceptio ns
and four fumbles that put
the Bcngals in position for a
win.
"Tt helps, " linebacker
Landon
J obnson
said
Monday. "ll' s only one
game. We've got to build on
(it). But this gives us a
foundation to build on."
The offense still has a
long way to go.
For the second game in a
row, the Bengals averaged
less than three yards per
carry. They ran 34 times for
70 yards , a measly 2.1-yard
average. Rudi Johnson ran
22 times for only 46 yards,
and Kenny Watson picked
up 24 yards on nine carries.
The runmng backs frequently were hit in the
backfield or had to make a
cut to avoid a tackle before
they got to the line of
scrimmage.
" Yesterday, we got our
butt kicked," coach Marvin
Lewis said Monday. "They
were more physical than we
were at the point of attack,
and you can take your pick
of which guy and which
time. T thought collectively,
up front, we didn't play
very well. We need to get
that corrected and get that
done better."
The one area that was
problem-free was the field
goal unit, which has-n ' t gotten much work lately.
Graham wondered how
many fantasy footbaii players had dumped him rrom
their teams.
"It's been a couple of
weeks since 1 even had a
couple of field goals, ..
Graham said . "So if they
were patient, it paid otl,for
them.''

UK guard Meeks
out at least one
month

LEXINGTON - Kentucky will
be without irs top outside shooter for
at least a month after guard Jodie
Meek<; was diagnosed with a stress
rracture, coach Billy Gillispie said
Wednesday.
Gillispie said Meeks suffered the
injury to his pelvic area when he fell
to the ground during an exhibition
game against Seattle. He started bu t
wa<; ineffective in two regular-season
games after that.
"lf you've ever had an abdominal
muscle pull or anything in the core

"Sometimes you can't even move

Gillispie said doctors e xpec t

blow to the Wildcats, who already arc
without point guard Derrick Jasper,
still recovering from offseason knee
surgery.
With the two guards out, senior
Joe Crawford - a starter last year
under former coach Tubby Smith could return to the lineup, although
Gillispie didn' t commit w that.
Freshman Alex Legion also figures to
get more playing time.
Last year, Meeks was usually the
first player off the bench for Smith,
ot'i.en providing a spark rrom 3-point
range. He averaged 22 minutes and
nine points and reached double-digit
scoring 16 times.
He averaged a team-leading 22.5

louisville trving to salvage season in last 2 games

LOUISVILLE
Eric
Wood has helped Louisville
make plenty or history over
the last three years.
Still, there's a chapter the
center hopes the Cardinals
don't write lhis season.
Louisville (5-5, 2-3 Big
East) has made a bowl game
nine straight years, but a loss
at South Florida (7-3, 2-3) on
Saturday would means the
Cardinals could stay home for
the holidays.
"1 know personally 1 don't
want to be on the team that
breaks the bowl streak, but we
knew all year we had to win
this game," Wood said.
While a victory over the
Bulls or Rutgers on Nov. 29
would technically make the
Cardinals bowl eligible, a
berth would be unlikely. The
Big East already has five
teams eligible for postseason
play, and only five direct
bowl tie-ins. The Cardinals
need to win their final two
games to take any guesswork
out of the equation.
"There's a lot of teams on
that cusp, a lot of 5-5, 6-5
teams across the country,"
said coach Steve Kragthorpe.
"Obviously these two weeks '
are big for us in terms or getting that 13th game. 1 think
players understand it. We're
taking it one game at a time as
old cliche goes. But I think
our guys arc pretty astute in
terms of knowing exactly
where we· re at and what
we've got to get done to be a
bowl team."
To play that 13th game and
get the valuable weeks or
practice that come with it, the
Cardinals will need to do
something they' ve never
done: win at South Florida.
Louisville is 0-2 all-Lime at
South Florida, and were humbled in Tampa 45- 14 two
years ago, a game in which
Wood said the Cardinals got
"stomped."
"We made a lot of mistakes
early and it carne back to kill
us at the end and they got the
best of us." Wood said.
lt's a familiar script for the
Cardinals, who fell behind by
17 points to No. 5 West
Virginia last week. Though
they rallied to tie the game
late, the Mountaineers pulled
it out on a long touchdown
run by quarterback Pat White.
As heartening as the comeback was, it doesn ' t factor
into the equation when it
comes to bowl berths.
"We play to win and there
are no moral victories around
this place," Kragthorpc said.
"If we win we're happy, if we
lose we're not. Nobody' s
happy around here that we
played well or that we played
better. We didn't win the
game. That's the bottom line."
The bottom line is, to get
bowl eligible the Cardinals
will need to find a way to stop
one of the nation 's most
dynamic teams.
The Cardinals will be
without starting cornerback
Rod Council, who was suspended for Saturday's game
because or a violation of team
rules, the university said
Monday.
South Florida rode upsets
of Auburn and West Virginia
to rise to No. 2 in the polls
last month. Three straight
losses brought the Bulls back
to earth, but they appeared to
get back on track with a 41-10
rout of Syracuse last week.
Louisville's inconsistent
defense will have to find a
way to contain South Florida
quarterback Matt Grothe, one
of the best dual threat quarterbacks in the country.

compared to a great crew chief and out as head of the team he built from

Team owner Rick Hendrick
stepped in, calling the two together
for a private meeting to hash out their
differences and ave the relationship.
"There was never any discussion
or us splining up. Rick was afraid we
were going to kill each another at one
point," Johnson said. "Being as close
as we arc, it's like a brothers relationship. And after '05, we both wanted it

"And Rick saw it, and 1>at us

want to go anywhere. You want to be

and talk about some stufT. "'
Hendrick pushed Kl}aus to lighten
up a little bit and start utilizing his
team members more. Tt wasn't nece~
sary for Knaus to individually oversee every aspect of the race car, and
delegating responsibility had to
become a priority hel'ore Knaus
alienated everyone around him.
Knaus vowed to change, but it
wasn't until he was caught cheating
during preparations for the 2006 season-opening Daytona 500 that he
began to apply them to his work ethic
and personal life. Suspended the firsr
four weeks ofthe season, Knaus wa~
n't parr of two victories- including
the Daytona 500.
When he returned to the race track
in March, there was a noticeable
change in him. He was calmer, capable of delegating a bit and learned
how to lean on his crew.
'Tvc been fortunate to work with
Rick Hendrick and learn the most
valuable thing you can learn, and that
is simply use the people you've got."
Knaus said. "Use the people you've
got to the best of your ability, and the
success will come, As long as the
people have something at stake,
you'll end up with a better product.
"And since 2005, l tried to live hy
that and. work by that daily. And it's
obviously working."
The new approach helped the team
win its first championship last season, and headed into Sunday's season-finale at Homestead-Miami
Speedway, Johnson needs only to finish 18th or better t.o win a second
title. Should the No. 48 team pull it
off, they' 11 become the first team
since Gordon in 1997 and 1998 to
win consecutive championships.
Knaus was on those crews, working under Evernham and absorbing
everything he could. So when Knaus
moved into his own crew chief job,
the comparisons to Evcrnham were
natural.
"T'm llattered. The guy's doing a
great job," Evernham said. "But
Chad i~ his own person and it takes a
tremendous amount of sacrifice and
commitment to do it at the pace he
docs it for as long as he has. it's not
easy.
"Making the car go fast is one part
of it. but holding all the ditferent per
sonalities or your race team together
- egos, manage your driver, crew,
sponsor, owner- do all those things
is tremendous amount of pressure
and it takes ultimate commitment and
sacrifice to do that. He's made that.
He deserves to be where he's at."
The 36-ycar-old Knaus isn't sure
how long he can maintam the pace,
and today's crew chief makes enough
money that he doesn't have to spend
40 years on the road running a race
team. But when he finally docs step
down, Johnson knows where his crew
chief will be ranked.
"It's early in our ~areer, and we
have a lot of years ahead of uS. But
when Chad hangs up his hat, he'il be
considered lme or the best," Johnson
said.

Mark Martin wa<; sitting in his
Daylona Be.-1Ch, Fla, ollice three
years ago sun·oundcd by
reporters mld talking about what
he thought was going to he his
retirement from NASCAR's top
serie.~ at the end or that sea•mn.
Suddenly, Martin paused and
pointed across the room at a
diminutive 14-ycar-old standing
alongside his dad.
'That's the future of this
spurt," Martin said. ''If you didn't
have to he 18 to drive in
NASCAR, I'd put him in a car
right now."
The boy he had pointed at was
Joey Logano.
Since that day in Daytona
Beach, Logano has gone about
the business of learning the racing trade, with sttceessful stints in
the ASA National Touring Series,
the USAR Hooters Pro Cup
series and, thi~ year, NASCAR's
West and Busch East series.
He has won race'> in each or
Lhem, winning this season\ We>t
opener- his .fiist r<:~re in a Gnmd
National car - and. adding six
victories in Busch East on the
way to t11e series title. Logano
then added a win in the Toyota
All Star Showdown against some
of the top short track driver<; in
the country.
Jack Rousp had Logano under
contract for a while, at Martin's
insistence. But he let him get
away and now the youngster is
part of Joe Gibbs Racing, which
plans to run him in the
Nationwide Serie<; next seasonas S<X1n as he is eligible.
"Joey turns 18 on May 24 and
we'll be running him the next
week, May 3 l, at Dover," Gibbs
vice president Jimmy Makar said.
"We're going to try to mn a full
schedule with him after that
point, although that depends on
sponsors for his team.
"Unrortunately, they have !hat
18-ycar-old limit or we'd start
him at Daytona right away."
Martin first saw Logano race
as a 12-year-old against his son,
Matt The elder Martin quickly
became the yount.>ster's mentor
and put him in a Cup car lor a test
at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Logano drove one of' Martin's
2004 Roush Racing Fords around
the 1.5-mile Atlanta oval at
<>~d<> above I 90 mph.
"That just made me want to
race the car," Logano said, grinning.
Makar said Gibbs is just
happy to have a talent like
Logano in its driver development
progran1.
"We've been working with
Joey for ahouttwo years now;· he
said. "We put him in our Cup cars
on our research-and-development team and I wa<> very
impressed, and so wao; the rest of
the team, about how fast he
adapted to the speeds that the Cup
cars 1un at places like Kentucky
and Na<ihville and Kansas and
Michigan.
"We took him to the>e big,
fa'lt racetrack<; and. usually, that's
a hard thing lor drivers to learn
about, the speed at these places.
But every time we went, usually
within about five, six or seven
laps, he was up to speed and mnning !he right line. n wa<; very,
VeJ.)' impressive to us to see how
quickly he could adapt at those
places."
Makar said another impressive thing about the youngster
from Middletown, Conn., is his
communication skills.
"He was very good at ~orning
back to the crew chieC<; and engineers and d~T.ibing what the car
was doing in a very methodical
way," he said. "A lot of drivers
have a hard time breaking the
track down into segments and
telling the crews what they need.
... very much the kind of thing
you'd expect out of a veteran race
car driver. You had to keep
remind yourself that you're
watching a 15- or 16-year-old kid

MCA celebrates 25years
Father Ralph Beiting, founder, pays special visit to fall fest
by KATHY J. PRATER
FEATURES EDITOR
"We're still here and we're still going strong,"
said Father Ralph Beiting, of the school he fou.nded
25 years ago in the small mountain community he
grew to love as a young priest.
..
Coming to Appalachia in 1950, Father Be!lmg
set out to help the many impoverished families of
the area in whatever way he could. Seeing that,
often, it was physical needs, rather than spiritual,
thal many were most longing for, Father Beiting
rolled up his sleeves and went to work Along the
way, he gathered constituents and helpers and soon,
the Christian Appalachian Project was born.
Having founded twenty churches in the eastern
Kentucky region since his ministry here began , the
community of Martin became home to one of them
in 1981. ·'J asked the people, in 1981, what it was
that they needed most," he said. "They told me, 'we
need a Christian school.' So, we got to work and the
Christian Appalachian Project financed the building and we got ourselves a school. An ecumenical
school where religious classes were taught everyday. Our lllission. though \ve are a Christian school,
was always, always, to include those or different
taiths... and to allow no exclusion of the poor," he
said.
Today, Mountain Christian Academy is known
for its strict attention to academic rigor as well as
for its diversity among racial, ethnic, religious and
income classes. Hanging in the school's gymnasium arc flags representing those countries from
which current, and past, students have ties to.
"Ecumenism is a very important precept or what we
stand for." Father Beiting said. "A blending of the
well to do with the nul so well to do ...and lo show
what can be done, what can be accomplished, when
people come together."

Reader and friends may need
a1~ - - - different colon screening tests
.LY~edici:ne
Martha A. Simpson., no, M.B.A.
.Asrociate Professor
ofF•miJy Medicine
Q
A while ago you wrote about
following
your doctor's
advice regarding screening
colon cancer. Which tests are
best? My.friend says a colonoscopy is
the real test. but my doctor says I
don't need one. What are the recomnumdations for colon cancer screeninR?
As with many things in medicine, there arc several ways to
screen for colon cancer. The
test that is recommended by your
physician is based on your personal
risk for developing colon cancer. The
primary risk factor associated with
the development of colon cancer is a
family history of the disease. Also, a
A
personal history or ulcerative colitis
or colon polyps increases your risk.
People who eat a high-fat, lqw-liber
diet and those who arc overweight
are also at im.:reased risk for colon
cancer.
Age is also a very important factor
in overall colon cancer risk. Al!hough
colon can<.:er does sometimes strike at
younger ages, about 90 percent or all
cases arc in people over 50.
Tf you are at average risk, which
means you have none of the above
listed risk !actors, it is acceptable to
usc simpler and less expensive test<>. 1
assume your doctor placed you in this
average risk category. In case-. like
this, I usually re<.:ormnend that the
patient be screened using the fecal
occult blood Lest and a flexible sigmoidoscopy. A digital rectal examine
is also a good idea. All lhree tests
should be completed annually starting at age 40.
The fecal occult blood test is performed on stool samples to see if
small amounts of blood- not readily
visible - are present. Generally, this is
done on three separate stool samples.
The doctor gives you a special card to
take home. You then collect the specimen, place it on the card, seal it up
and return the card to the doctor. If
any of the three specimens arc positive for occult (hidden) blood, you
need a colonoscopy. Hall are negative, a tlexible sigmoidoscopy should
be done.
Flexible sigmoidoscopy is like
colonoscopy with a shorter tube.
Research shows that more than 50
percent of colon cancers are within
reach of the sigmoidoscope. This test
can be done in a physician's office
rather than the hospital out patient
setting needed for a colonoscopy.
Also, you generally do not need to be
sedated for this procedure, whereas
with a colonoscopy, the usc of sedating drugs is standard practice.
Most doctors recommend a
screening colonoscopy for people
over 50 who are of average risk.
During a colonoscopy your doctor
can examine the entire colon. Any
polyps that arc discovered can be
removed at the lime of lhe exam. H
there arc no polyps present and the
colon is otherwise normal, your doctor will probably recommend a repeat
in 7 to 10 years.
A newer test that is gaining in popularity is the virtual colonos<.:opy.
This is aC-T X-ray or the colon. This
can be a very good test, but it cannot
find small polyps and it cannot
remove polyps. lf polyps arc found
during a virtual colonoscopy, you
will still need a regular colonoscopy
to remove them.
It is good that you are so interested in these screening procedures that
you arc discussing them with friends
and relatives. You and your friends
should work with your individual
doctors to determine which screening
test is best. The answer for each one
of you may be different.

the meal with a lovely invitation to share Thanksgiving

Because they were all out liv

Now don't go emailing me
explaining your space limitations. Obviously, if that is truly
the case (and you've eliminated the "science project" leftovers taking up valuable space
in the f'ridge) you have my
blessing. But for the rest of us,
once is absolutely enough. I
cannot emphasize how important this is. Staying out of the
store will help us keep our
finances in order and give us
more time to do the things we
want to do.
The way to do this is to
have a plan. It doesn't need to
be elaborate, just a simple grocery list that coincides with
whal your family eats (a menu
for the week), what you're
running out of and how much
you need of everything. If
you're opening a can of tuna
for lunch. put tuna on the grocery list~ven if you have
more in the pantry! And even

It is JUSt as easy to make two a"

beneath a bush may be considered a stinging situation

some,
to
Delmer
Shepherd, it was a profit.
It was Oct. 16 that Ray
Tackett was walking in the

the hive, after his dog was
stung.
Knowing
that
Shepherd was a beekeeper,
Tackett contacted him to see
if he wanted it.
A Magoffin County
native, Shepherd has been
involved in the process of
making and selling honey
for most of his life.
"I guess I started when I
was about 10 or so," said
Shepherd.
After going to look at the
hive, and getting its measurements of 35 inches long
and
25
inches wide,
Shepherd decided to build a

-Simple Changes Owner aims to serve any taste
by JENNIFER LAWSON
STAFF WRITER
PRESTONSBURG
Hoping to bring a simple
change to Prestonsburg, Beth
Rowe is stressing the importance of networking with local
businesses and providing quality home accessories to the
public without the travel.
Working and researching
on the project for over a year,
Rowe was finally able to open
Simple Changes, an eclectic,
stylish boutique offering topof-the-line products for nearly
every aspect of one's home.
Born
and
raised
in
McDowell, Rowe spent from
1986 to 2000 working with her
father' s constmction company
and then the next five years
traveling with her son, who
Has participated in motocross
sports.
"In traveling, I noticed that
there are so many people who
are buying homes and going
off to college that having nice
things in your home is a must,"
said Rowe. " I knew that if I
rvas getting tired of traveling
so far to get them, others must
be too."
According to Rowe, many
products and brands featured
in her store can only be found
in places like Lexington and
Louisville. However, the store
* isn't limited only to 400thread-count sheets, special
detergents and soaps, imported
Italian bedding, and designer
dishes. It also features many
items from local business
owners and designers.
"It's time for all retailers to
finally work together," said
Rowe.
As each section in the store
is set up to actually portray a
home or bedroom setting, to
the extent that some even feel
the need to take their shoes off
before entering, Rowe said it
wouldn' t have been po$sible to
display such settings were it
not for the cooperation of local
businesses.
Featuring beds and tables
from Home Furniture, lighting
from Creative Lights, and artwork from Paula Goble's
Photography, the store also
eatures a variet of antiques
rom collectors all over
Eastern Kentucky and will
soon offer local embroidery
services.
However, Rowe said she
does be sure to view samples
of people's work before allowing it to be displayed in the
store, being sure that only
good quality and reliable
designs are featured.
"It's just time to bring business back home," said Rowe.
"We have so many talented
people and great merchandise
in this area, it's time to show it
off."
Unlike most stores, Simple
Changes isn't just open during
normal business hours for
everyday shopping. While the
store at usual business times,
Rowe does her best to go
above and beyond the call of
retail and be available to people for all of their needs, at
their convenience. Staying late
for special appointments,
scheduling personal and weddin~ showers, and even hosting book readings are just a
few of the ways Rowe reaches
out to the public.
Allowing people to explore
their own artistic ability and
decorating
styles,
Rowe
invites people to bring a focus
piece for their room as an
inspiration for their decor.
Whether it be a throw, pillow
or mg, she said it's fun to just
lay things out and toss them
together, creating beautiful,
attractive ensembles for any
style decor. The store also has
a special section where people
can just sit and plan. Exploring
through books upon books of
fabric swatches, color samples, and furniture options, a
simple pre-designed room layout makes it easy for even the
most amateur decorator to
enhance their home's appearance. Whether it be shabby
chic, country, modern or even
simple that one is trying to
achieve, Simple Changes
offers something for everyone,
young and old.
"With gas prices they way
they are, I just want to bring
business back home," said
Rowe.
To enhance your home or
add a simple change to your
decor, Rowe invites everyone
to stop in and visit at 561
North Lake Drive. For more
information or to schedule an
after hours appointment or
party call 886-7040.

epublicans rally in defeat, call for party unity
by JOE BIESK
AssoCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON- Kentucky
publicans called for party
u · tty following Gov. Ernie
etcher's lopsided defeat this
week, and focused on positi.Vf!S as they look ,ahead to
xt year's elections.
Fletcher accepted responsility for his defeat last
Thesday to Democrat Steve
~shear and said he was conc(rilrating on the party's
future. The one-term governor
tqld Republicans to do the
_stffie and put aside any inter~1 differences that cropped up
ring his re-election cam~n.
'We've had some squabe as a family, but it's all in
e family," Fletcher said to
!eppblicans gathered at a
pington hotel. "I've always
eR it that way."
With Beshear's victory,
e'Qi.Ocrats seemed to have
d up some momentum in
te where Republicans had
building steam for years.
gh the state has more regd
Democrats
than
Republicans, the GOP had
wrested control of the state
Senate, the governor's office
and its Washington delegation
in recent years.
Last week, Democrats
regained the state's chief executive office and held on to the
attorney general's office, state
auditor's office and treasurer.
Kentucky Democrats also hold
two seats in Congress.
Meanwhile,
Agriculture
Commissioner Richie Farmer
and Secretary of State Trey
Grayson maintained their
posts despite a political atmosphere that was troublesome for
Republicans.
Fletcher's first term was
dogged by a hiriqg scandal in
which he pardoned his entire
administration, invoked his
Fifth Amendment right against
self incrimination and was
indicted on misdemeanor
charges that were eventually
dropped. The probe hinged on
allegations that Fletcher's
political supporters were
improperly given protected
state jobs based on their political connections.
In the spring, Fletcher faced
Republican primary opposition from former U.S. Rep.
Anne Northup and former ally
Billy Harper, a Paducah bu1>inessman. Other Republicans,
such as Lt. Gov. Steve Pence
and Erwi» Roberts, a former
cabinet secretary in Fletcher's
administration,
endorsed
Northup in her primary against
Fletcher.
Still, Fletcher blamed himself Saturday for his defeat,
adding that the results were
likely more about him than
Republicans.
"I can't blame anyone but
myself for not being re-elected," Fletcher said.
He urged Republicans to be
aggressive in future elections
and recruit candidates for
every race in an effort to
deplete Democratic resources
and conserve their own.
Fletcher also told Republicans
to help U.S. Sen. Mitch
McConnell,
the
Senate
Republican leader, win another term in 2008.
McConnell, who called
Fletcher a "magnificent governor," said Fletcher had guided
the state tow:p-d improvements
such as its Medicaid program.
Next year's race should focus
on "the future and not the
past," McConnell said.
"We look forward to the
future not with fright. but with
optimism,'' McConnell said.
"And I assure you, we will be
aggressive."
Republican
National
Committee Chairman Robert
"Mike" Duncan said he wa'i
disappointed by the election's
outcome and praised Fletcher
for what he did as governor.
"From the very first day he
had a target on his back,"
Duncan said. "It was very
unfortunate."
Senate Pre~ident David
Williams, R-Burkesville, said
Fletcher may not have been an
adept politician but advanced
the state and helped to lower
taxes
for .poor people.
Fletcher, however, was burdened throughout his term by
"entrenched forces"
that
sought to "persecute and prosecute" him, Williams said.
While some Republican
backers worked hard for
Fletcher's re-election, others
in attendance had done
and the possibility of becoming politically irrelevant in
years to comt:, Williams said.
"We can bleed ourselves or
we can come back together,"
William~ said. "Now it's time
for U'> to come back together."
"absolutely nothing" on his
behalr, Williams acknowledged. Still, Williams called
for accon.l.
Without a "singular pur
pose" Republicans risk lo~ing
control or the Kentucky Senate

eshear exercises hands-on
pproach to leadership
by ROGER ALFORD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANKFORT Kentucky's next
says he's open to new ideas and
Jipartisan input - but ultimately, he will
make the decisions and stand behind
them.
'Tm the one in the end who has to give
the direction to this government," said
Gov.-elect Steve Beshear, who takes the
r~ins of state government on Dec. 11.
''And I've got to set the agenda for this
government. That requires a governor
who's going to be out front and leading
those around him toward the goals that
we've set."
Beshear, a forn'ler Democratic lieutenant governor, made an unlikely political comeback to win election last week.
He hadn't held office in two decades and
only ran for governor because he J:ouldn't
recruit another candidate. Beshear cruised
to a 20-percentage-point victory over
Republican Gov. Ernie Fletcher.
He had made leadership a key issue in
~overnor
the race, and has already begun flexing his
gubernatorial muscles.
On Friday, Beshear urged the state
Board of Education to reopen a search for
a commissioner, saying an uncertain political climate that prevailed during the governor's race may have deterred qualified
candidates from applying for the job.
Board members are considering his
request.
The governor-elect, who takes office
on Dec. 11, is a strong leacter, but not one
who rushes ahead with an idea without
listening to the advice of those around
him, said Kennedy Helm III, chairman of
Stites & Harbison, the multistate law firm
that has a Lexington office where Beshear
formerly worked as a managing partner.
"He would seek a lot of opinions, but
once the time came to make a decision, he
didn't hesitate," Helm said. "He is the
kind of person who is open .to new ideas,
open to different points of view, a good
listener."
Jim Cauley, the Democratic strategist
who served as Beshear's campaign .man-
ager and has been tapped to be his chief of
staff, said the incoming governor is the
kind of leader people enjoy serving under,
or, more accurately, alongside.
Cauley said Beshear isn't a topdown
manager.
"It's like we all kind of come together
and when we walk out the door we're all
rolling in the right direction," Cauley said.
"He's very good at getting us all kind of
pointed, focused in the right way."
Even during the campa1gn, Cauley
said, Beshear resisted the temptation to
second-guess his advisers - even on
where he and when he would make political appearances.
"There.were times with his schedule he
would have liked to have micromanaged
it," Cauley said. "But he sajd you all tell
me where I need to go and let's go. He
was never a micro-manager."
Beshear, a Lexington attorney, had
climbed the political ladder in the 1970s

Fletcher says he~s leaning
toward work in private sector
by JOE BIESK
AssociATED PRESS
LEXINGTON - It's no
secret
that
Gov.
Ernie
Fletcher's has been a fighter
pilot, ordained Baptist minister, engineer, doctor, congressman and, of course, governor
of a state with about 4.2 million people.
With a resume like that, one
might think he shouldn't have
trouble finding a new gig once
he leaves office next month.
"I'm looking at the private
side, but that doesn't mean that
I'm going to close any doors,"
Fletcher told reporters after a
Kentucky Republican Party
meeting Saturday. •
In last Tuesday's election,
Democrat Steve Beshear
q~;feated Fletcher, who was
elected in 2003 as Kentucky 's
fl'(st GOP governor in more
than 30 years. Beshear will be
sworn in as g·o vernor next
month.
Fletcher said he's uncertain
he'll do after leaving the
en ucky
Governor's
Mansion, but is considering a
return to medicine.
While governor, he's tried
to maintain his medical
license, Fletcher said. He's up
to date on most of the required
continuing education requirements, but might need to attenc
nference, Fletcher said.
fter not practicing in nearyears, he'd also want
some sort of internship as a
refresher before attending to
patients, Fletcher said.
''I'm just a little behind," he
said.
Fletcher also didn't rule out
a return to work in the federal
government. He was first elected to Congress in 1998, and
then again in 2000 and 2002,
before resigning to become
governor.
President Bush is planning
to travel to nearby New
Albany, Ind., on Tuesday to
make a speech about the federal budget. Fletcher said he's
planning to greet the president
when he lands in Kentucky.
When asked if he'd talk to
the president about a job.
Fletcher said: "I doubt if I'll
talk about that. But I don' t
know, you know, what is available out there. Right now,
we're just making sure we
close the loose ends in
Frankfort and get things done
and we're willing to look at
any options anywhere. But
we' ve got some plans that are
in the making that are more in
the private side of things,
frankly."

Beshear
• Continued from p8
and 1980s as a state legislator,
attorney general and lieutenant
governor. He lost two subsequent elections for governor
and U.S. senator.
Now that he has won the
coveted position, Beshear said
has several primary goals,
including expanding medical
benefits to some 81,000 chilt dren in the state who current
have no health insurance. He
also wants to improve government benefits to senior citizens
so that none has to choose
between buying medicine or
food.
He has proposed paying for
the programs by persuading
lawmakers and voters to
approve
a constitutional
amendment that would legalize casinos in Kentucky. By
allowing about 10 casinos to
open, Beshear said, the state
could reap $500,000 in tax
revenues.
Those issues were key in
his campaign, and he has
begun putting together a management team to help him
implement them. He named
current
state
Treasurer
Jonathan Miller as his finance
secretary on Friday. Lexington
businessman Phil Osborne,
owner of a public relations
firm, will be his chief communications officer.
'T m going to surround
myself with the best people I
can find, regardless of their
political affiliation," Beshear
said. "I will be a very hands-on
governor, but I'm also going to
give those people that I surround myself with the ability
to perform their duties.''

"People will think the
Democratic nominee's middle
name is Hillary,'' Sabato said.
Brase]] hinted just as much,
saying that McConnell expects
the presidential nominees to
largely define the issues discussed in Kentucky.
But McConnell could face a
challenge from his own ranks.
Republican Larry Forgy,
who barely lost to Democrat
Paul Patton in the 1995 gubernatorial election, is considering
a Senate run next year as an
independent.
Forgy believes McConnell
and
some

Republicans
abandoned
Fletcher, who was indicted
during his term on misdemeanor charges that he rewarded
politically
connected
Republicans with jobs at the
expense of Democrats. The
charges were dropped in a settlement with prosecutors, and
Fletcher later maintained the
investigation was a witch hunt.
McConnell was silent about
Fletcher during the probe and
later when the governor fought
off a tough challenge from former U.S. Rep. Anne Northup
in the GOP primary.
The senator made a few
appearances with Fletcher durmg the fall campaign, saying
the governor had done a fine
job and deserved another term.
Forgy said the damage was
already done, and largely
blamed McConnell and a few
others for the divisive primary.
Some of Forgy's critics
have dismissed him as a "oneman party." Forgy rephed that
"l' d rather be a one-man party
than a party of one man. And
the bottom line is McConnell
needs some critics. If I am one,
then that's the way it is."
Meanwhile,
Democrats
u"ied to link McConnell with
Fletcher, who could muster just
41 percent of the vote in losing
to Beshear. The Democratic
Senatorial
Campaign
Committee released an Internet
ad showing McConnell saying
he "never met a finer man"
than Fletcher.

Considering a hive can't be

pretty good thing for a beekeeper.
"I wouldn't take a hundred

And while the exact profit

his first run for political oftice.
~
"I owe no political favors to
anybody," Cassaro said.
Cassaro said his campaign
headqu<H1ers right now is a
spare bedroom at his father's
house. And his announcement
was upstaged by a vistt from
the nation's best-known politician. President Bush Hew into
Louisville on Tuesday for a
midday speech just across the
Ohio River in New Alhany,
Ind.
Yet Cassaro said he was
undaunted about running
against well-known politi"' cians, and said his experience
"" in private life would be an
advantage.
··r ve lived real 'life," he
said. "I've experienced what
it's like to be a common citizen."
The 2008 election is still
nearly a year away, yet the
Kentucky Senate race is gearing up. McConnell is seeking
re-election and has been running television commercials
for nearly a week. The ads
compare McConnell to Alben
Barkley, a Kentucky Democrat
who was Senate majority
leader and Harry Truman's
vice president.
Another possible candidate.
Attorney
General
Greg
Stumbo, said Tuesday he plans
to decide by mid-December
whether to enter. the Senate
race. Stumbo also took aim at
potential Democratic rival Crit
Luallen, saying voters would
be turned off if she launched
another campaign right after
winning re-election as state
auditor.
"I don't think you can take
the oath of office for a fouryear term one week and tum
around and file for another
office the next," Stumbo said
in a phone interview.
Luallen won another term
la~t week with 59 percent of
the vote as Democrats won
back the governorship and
held onto three other state constitutional offices. Luallen said
ht\t week that '>he's "open to
future possibilities" but added
she's not close to deciding
whether to enter the Senate
race.
Responding to Stumbo's
comments, Lt1allen spokesman
Jeff Derouen said, "It is very
important that Kentuckians
have the choice of the best
possible challenger to Mitch
McConnell next year."
Stumbo opted not to seek a
second term as attorney general and instead was the running
mate of gubernatorial candidate Bruce Lunsford. They finished second in this year's
Democratic primary.
Stumbo, a former longtime
Kentucky House majority
leader,
has
formed
an
exploratory committee but
hasn't ruled out staying in
state government if offered a
job in combating illegal dntgs
or environmental protection in
Beshear's
administration.
Stumbo said he'll do polling in
coming weeks to gauge support for a possible Senate run.
"I think right now that my
chances in the spring to get the
nomination, no matler who's
in the field, are exceptionally
good," said Stumbo, whose
term as attorney general ends
in early J an_uary.
Besides
Stumbo
and
Luallen, other Democrats considering a Senate run next year
incl ude Iraq war veteran
Andrew Home and Louisville
businessman Charlie Owen.
Whoever
challenges
McConnell will have a lot of
catching up to do in fundraic;ing. McConnell had raised
more than $9 million through
September and had nearly $7
million on hand.
At his announcement,
Cassaro said he would rely on
campaign contributions from
supporters.
Cassaro, who treat~ patients
suffering from chronic pain,
said if elected he would bring
medical expertise to the health
care debate in Washington. He
said patients are underrepresented in the debate.
"I think I can bring the
insight necessary to the
Congress to help turn the tide
so we quit taking short-term
approaches to the long-term
problem," Cassaro said.
Cassaro also talked about
providmg tax relief to young
married couples and cracking
down on illegal immigration
while welcoming those entering the country legally.
''We need to open our arms
to legal immigration, for people that want to come into this
country to work and become
Americans," he said.

"We only go on the addresses that we have. I've already
gotten about 30 bills returned

said Schoolcraft. "Everyone

~ PIKEVILLE - Senior tailback
M'oses Cochran ran for 174 yards
and scored four touchdowns and
the defense forced six turnovers to
lead the University of the
Cumberlands to a42-21 win and in
the process the automatic bid from
the Mid-South Conference East
Division into the NAIA playoffs.
Cochran, a 5-8, 170-pound
senior from Thomasville, Ga.,
scored on runs of 29, 15, 4 and 33
yards to lead the Patriots to the win.
The decision, combined with
Union's 28-21 shocker over
Georgetown, left Cumberlands in a
for the MSC East crown with
U.Va.-Wise, and thanks to last
week's improbable comeback overtime win over the Highland
Cavaliers, Cumberlands gets the
automatic bid into the playoffs.
Wise, which blew past West
VIrginia Tech 55-14 on Saturday, is
9-2 on the season. The Cavaliers,
ranked 14th in last week's poll,
must now wait to see if they will
receive the Sunday-morning phone
call and an at-large bid into the
playoffs.
Cumberlands, ranked 18th, will
definitely be in. A team must win its
conference or division and be
ed in the national Top 20 in the
final poll for the automatic birth.
The Patriots wasted no time in
getting on the scoreboard. A muffed
punt was recovered by sophomore
free safety Brian Abshire at the 29,
and Cochran ran in from there on
the first play. Hunter Meade made
the first of six PATs in the game for
a 7-0 lead with 12: 19 left.
While the teams would be tied
twice, Cumberlands never trailed.
Pikeville (4-7, 2-3) answered
with a 74-play drive that took only
eight plays and ended when freshnfin quarterback Dan Wideman ran
in from the seven. Kyle Chilton tied
the game with 8:581eft. But the Pats
methodically took the ball downfield, using 13 plays and 5:33 to go
88 yards for the score; which came
on a 15-yard run by Cochran for a
14-7 lead with 3:13 left.
The Bears tied it one final time
when redshin freshman Travis
Norris hit freshman tailback
Desrick Jones to force a fumble that
freshman Anson Cunningham
picked up and took 72 yards for a
touchdown.

by ANTONIO GONZALEZ
ASSOCIATED PRESS
I(
••
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Kentucky
' is likely headed to a bigger bowl
· game than last year.
The Wildcat are thinking bigger
.still.
1
Andre Woodson threw for 222
'yards, Rafael Little had 70 yards
·rushing before being injured and
'No. 24 Kentucky beat Vanderbilt
'27-20 on Saturday to keep alive its
slim hopes of a berth in the
Southeastern Conference title game.
'This win puts us in the chase,"
running back Derrick Locke said.
"We can still get to a really good
bowL We can still get to Atlanta."
Kentucky needs plenty of help if
it wants to win play for the SEC
title.
The Wildcats (7-3, 3-3 SEC)
close their season against SEC East
rivals Tennessee and Georgia, and
have a chance to sneak into the
league title game in Atlanta by
defeating both. A South Carolina
win over Florida later on Saturday
would also be a big help.
"The real key for us whether we
win next week or don't win next
week, if we're going to have a
chance, th.e ball coach is going to
have to do something for us,"
Kentucky coach Rich Brooks said,
referring to South Carolina coach
Steve Spurrier. "We can end up tied
for it, but it would be tough."
The Wildcats snapped their twogame losing skid and clinched consecutive seven-win seasons for the
first time since 197 6-77. Kentucky
beat Clemson 28-20 in the Music
City Bow1 last year.
For the Commodores (5-5, 2-5),
their hopes of becoming bowl eligible will have to wait a iittle longer.
Vanderbilt hasn't been to a bowl
since the 1982 Hall of Fame Bowl.
The Commodores had eight
penalties for 65 yards, and Byrant
Hahnfeldt missed two field goals
and an extra point for Vanderbilt.
Mackenzi Adams threw for 193
yards and two touchdowns for the
Commodores, but sailed his final
throw on fourth down over the head
of Justin Wheeler in the end zone.
Adams was sacked on second down
by Jeremy Jarmon, and Vanderbilt
coach Bobby Johnson chose to have
Adams spike the ball instead of
using its final timeout with 17 seconds remaining.
"We knew what the time was and
we were using it just the way we
wanted to use it," Johnson said. "If
we were going to score, we didn't
want Kentucky to have a chance to
get the ball back. I think it was good
clock management by MacKenzi.
"We were making some big
plays. We made some fourth-down
plays. The sack discouraged me. I
was actually watching the receivers
trying to get open and I didn't see
the sack. That was disappointing."
Kentucky gave Vanderbilt countless opportunities to become bowl
eligible.
Pikeville
• Continued from p1
- scored for a third time, this time
. ofrom four yards out, and junior
,:fullback Ricky Walker ran 11
- yards for the score for a 28-14
:J lead at the half.
Pikeville took advantage of a
62-yard kickoff return to start the
second half and needed only two
plays for what would prove to be
its final touchdown of the seaJ'son. It came on a 17-yard pass
from Wideman to sophomore
·tight end Michael Serafine to cut
~the deficit in half.
But from there it was all
'e:umberlands, as Jones scored
·from 17 yards out later in the
third and Cochran put the game
on ice with a 33 yard score with
9:17 left in the game.
Led
by
Cochran,
Cumberlands ran for 451 yards
in the game. Walker followed
with 94 while Rod Mason, a
("
.backup quarterback, finished
with 70.
Pikeville had 85 yards on the
ground, with Wideman leading
the way with 72.
In the air, Pikeville's quarterback combination was 19-of-38
for 230 yards and three interceptions. Wideman was 12-of-22
for 139 with the score and two
picks, while senior Chip English
finished his career 7-of-16 for 91
yards with an interception.
English ends his career having completed 259 of 517 passes
for 3,203 yards with 28 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. All
are the career records in
Pikeville College football history.
The leading receiver was
Serafine who hailed in six catches for 71 yards.
Quarterbacks Mason and
Kyle King were 5-of-11 for 57
yards and an interception. Chris
Wallace, with a catch for 32
yards, led the receiving corps.
Norris led the Bears with 10
tackles, eight being solos. His
forced fumble gave him six for
the season, establishing a new
school record for a season and
matching the career mark of
Michael Shepperd. Jamar Porter,
another freshman, had nine tackles, eight of them solos.
It was a difficult season for
the Bears on defense, having
allowed the most points in
school history and surrendering
more than 40 points in all seven
losses.
·
Cumberlands had four
defenders with four tackles
apiece, with Abshire being one
of them to go with his two fumble recoveries.
The Wildcats had a season-high
13 penalties for 123 yards, including a holding call that wiped out a
52-yard reception by Keenan
Burton. But Vanderbilt couldn't
close out drives.
"Everything looked like it was
going pretty good," Vanderbilt
defensive end Curtis Gatewood
said. "At the end of the game, we
had some breakdowns. It's so frustrating."
Earl Bennett had eight catches
for 68 yards, and Cas sen JacksonGarrison had 83 yards rushing for
the Commodores.
The game was sloppy and marred
by penalties and injuries.
Vanderbilt running back Jared
Hawkins was carted off the field in
the third quarter after suffering a
blow to the head on a late-hit penalty by Wildcats safety Ashton Cobb.
Hawkins was able to walk onto the
cart after about five minutes. His
status
was
not
immediately
announced.
Kentucky running back Rafael
Little was injured on the opening
drive of the second half. Locke had
51 yards rushing in his place,
including a 4-yard touchdown rush
that would serve as the winning
score.
A
15-yard unsportsman1~ e
penalty on Vanderbilt's Brodenck
Stewart in the final seconds of the
first half allowed Lones Seiber to
make a 48-yard field goal that tied
the game 13-13. Seiber also kicked
a 38-yarder.
Adams threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to give Vanderbilt a '7 -3
lead, as Brooks raced down the sidelines trying to call a timeout. Brooks
pleaded with officials after the play
that the timeout should have been
called, drawing a 15-yard personal
foul penalty.
,
"They were trying to get to six
wins, , we were trying to get
seven," Cobb said. "There was a ot

LSU takes top spot in BCS Standings
by RALPH D. RUSSO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Beware of
Kansas.
LSU moved into the first
place in the Bowl Championship
Series standings Sunday and
Oregon jumped into second
place, a day after previous No. 1
Ohio State was upset by Illinois.
But third-place Kansas is the
only remaining unbeaten team in
the six conferences with an automatic bid to the BCS and history
suggests the Jayhawks will play
for a national title if they stay
perfect.
An undefeated team from a
major conference has never been
left out of the BCS national
championship game in favor of a
one-loss team.
Kansas has a home game
against Iowa State on Saturday,
then plays Missouri at Kansas
City on Nov. 24. Win that one
and Kansas goes to the Big 12
championship game, where the
most likely opponent will be
Oklahoma.
Those games could give the
Jayhawks the boost they need in
the polls to overtake the Ducks,
regardless of how Oregon fmish-
e•.
"I think they might even
LSU," said Jerry Palm, a
BCS analyst who runs www.collegebcs.com. "Why not? You're
c~tch
undefeated in a major conference and beat two top-five teams
in your final two games."
LSU can rest easier than
Oregon. With three games
remammg,
including
the
Southeastern Conference championship game on Dec. 1, LSU
will likely reach the BCS title
game in New Orleans by winning out.
"I don't see LSU doing worse
than No. 2 if they win the way
they're supposed to," Palm said.
"A 10-7 over Mississippi (on
Saturday) could change things,
because margins matter to voters."
The Ducks also have· three
games left, but they're past the
toughest part of their schedule.
The Ducks play at Arizona on
Thursday night, have a road
game against UCLA on Nov. 24
and finish the season against
rival Oregon State at home on
Dec. 1.
None of those teams is
ranked, so if l,he Ducks struggle
to a victory it could open up an
opportunity for not only Kansas,
but fourth-place Oklahoma or
fifth-place Missouri.
Palm said it will be difficult
for the Sooners or Tigers to
reach the top two without LSU
or Oregon.losing.
LSU is No. 1 in both the
Harris and coaches' polls and
top-rated by the computers. The
Tigers have a BCS average of
.980.
"Our guys understand what
being ranked is about certainly at
this point in the year," LSU
coach Les Miles said. "Now, we
are highly ranked again. That
ranking happens to be No. 1.
They understand what it means."
Oregon is No. 2 in the polls,
but third in the computer ratings,
giving the Ducks a BCS average
of .938.
Kansas is ranked fourth in
both polls, but second in the
computer ratings and has a BCS
average of .909. Oklahoma,
third in the polls and seventh in
the computers, is at .854.
Missouri is sixth in the polls and
fifth in computers for a .810
average.
Hawaii, the only other
unbeaten team in major college
football, remained 16th in the
BCS standings and still needs to
move up four places by the time
the final standings come out on
Dec. 2 to earn an automatic BCS
berth out of the Western Athletic
Conference.
The Warriors (9-0) have

NFL: Bengals 21, Ravens 7
by DAVID GINSBURG
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE
The
Cincinnati Bengals used an
uncharacteristic approach to
earn a tremendously satisfying
victory.
Shayne Graham kicked a
team-record seven field goals,
and the Bengals received a surprisingly efficient performance
from their defense Sunday in a
21-7 win over the punchless
Baltimore Ravens .
Cincinnati (3-6) owned the
league's 31st-ranked defense,
was tied with winless Miami for
most points allowed and had not
yielded fewer than 20 points in
any game this season. All that
changed against the Ravens (4who committed
six
5),
turnovers.
"I think it says a lot for our
team. Everyone's kind of put us
in a hole right now," Graham
said. "You have to give a lot of
credit to our defense that everyone seems to be bashing right
now. For them to get the ball
where we had it for the field
position says a lot."
Graham connected from 34,
19, 22, 35, 35, 21 and 33 yards.
His seven field goals were one
short of the NFL record set earlier this season by Tennessee's
Rob Bironas, and Graham
might have had the chance to tie
the mark if the Bengals didn't
nm out the clock late in the
game.
'Td be lying ifl said I wasn't
hoping, but there really wasn't
enough time to do it and explain
it with an ethical decision," he
said. "With where the clock
was, it just wouldn't have been
right."
Baltimore quarterback Steve
McNair struggled in a second
straight start, passing for only
128 yards, losing two fumbles
and throwing an interception
before being replaced by Kyle
Boller.
Boller's entrance in the
fourth quarter brought cheers
from what was left of a sellout
crowd, but his first drive ended
with an interception. He then
engineered a 52-yard march that
resulted in a meaningless 1-yard
touchdown run by . Willis
McQahee with 1:56 left.
"Steve was a great quarterback, he still is a great quarterback and he will continue to be
a moving force in tllis league,"
Ravens guard Jason Brown said.
"Everybody has a bad day."
But they have been coming
more frequently for McNair,
who this season has thrown only
two~uchdown passes and committ d 11 turnovers.
' · s is probably the lowest
porn, in my career," McNair
saidj ''What do I need to do
abo* it? I don't know."
~altimore has lost three
straight and has been outscored
59-14 in its last two games.
Qarson Palmer went 23-for34 for 271 yards for Cincinnati.
Chri~ Henry, playing for the first
time after an eight-game suspens~on for · violating the
leagye's conduct policy, had
four catches for 99 yards.
Palmer ordinarily would be
embarrassed about failing to
produce a touchdown. but he
had no problem with it in a winning effort.
"It's good when you win, not
so good when you lose," he
said. 'The Ravens are always
tough when you get down into
the red zone. .. . We were satisfied to get three points every
time we went down there."
The Bengals were inside the
Baltimore 20 seven times.
Cincinnati had gone 1-6
since opening the season wiili a
27-20 win over the Ravens. The
Bengals' main problem was
their porous defense, but
t
wasn't an issue against the
offensively challenged Ravens.
"At times this year we~:Ve
played like we did tonight."
linebacker Landon Johnson
said. "It's more a question .:of
being consistent, and we w~re
consistent for a majority of the
game."
After a scoreless first qua.rter,
the Bengals got a field goal' at
the end of a 52-yard drive after
Baltimore failed to convert a
the
fourth-and-8
from
Cincinnati 32.
On their next possession, e
Bengals moved 91 yards to et
up another field goal for a ~-0
lead. Palmer was 5-for-5 for 79
yards, including a 50-yarder'•to
Henry.
·
Baltimore finally got moving
late in the half. After getting to
the Cincinnati 2, McNair threw
a floater that tight end Todd
Heap tipped in the air and was
intercepted by rookie Leon Hall.
It didn't get any better in the
third quarter for Baltimore. lhe
Ravens had a decent drive going
until McNair lost the ball o~ a
third-down scramble at
e
Cincinnati 30. Dexter Jacks.on
went 15 yards with the lOQse
ball. and a 15-yard run by R1,1di

look at our driving styles, our
setups, look at everythtng we
do, we are on opposite ends.
We do have some common
interests, we are close
friends.
"But I am not Jeff Gordon,
so let'sjust get that out of the
way."
No, he's no~ Gordon, but
his work on the track makes
it impossible not to draw the
comparisons.
"They're just unbelievably good," said Matt
Kenseth. the 2003 champion.
"They're as good as any
group I've seen, including
Jeff in his heyday when he
was winning 10 races a year
and the championship by
over a hundred points."
Johnson needs only to finish 18th or better next
Sunday at Homestead-Miami
Speedway to win his second
championstip in just six seasons.
"ll's over. It's over," conceded Gordon. "Even if we
wm it, it's because they have
problems. While we'll accept
it, we don't want to do it that
way.
"Those guys have flat-out
killed
everybody.
And
you've got to give credit
where credit is due."
Johnson was subdued in
Victory Lane, and refused to
claim the title.
"Homestead is going to be
a stressful weekend. We've
got seven more days, I'm just
going to try to keep my mind
clear and focus on the things
we need to do," Johnson said.
"This is kind of where we
were last year. We just have
to go down there and be
smart and see how it shakes
out."
Gordon was off all day.
He had a tire rub after making · contact with Kevin
Harvick, and finished a disappointing lOth.
It was a crushing performance on a day when
Johnson raced to his fourth
consecutive victory.
He
became the first driver to win
four straight in a season since
Gordon did in 1998.
Gordon, who hand-picked
Johnson to join Hendrick
Motorsports when the team
expanded to four cars in
2002, marveled at how
strong his protege has been
during this championship
hunt. It's put it nearly out of
reach for Gordon, who dominated the "regular season"
and opened a lead of more
than 300 points before the
field was reset for the Chase.
"Unless you lead every
lap and beat Jimmie Johnson
to win the race, we don't
have a shot," Gordon said.
"We're just coming up short
at a crucial time. Those guys
have just knocked it out of
the ballpark, and it would be
tough to beat that even if we
were hitting on all eight
cylinders."
Although it will take a
total collapse next week by a
team that rarely falters, crew
chief Chad Knaus · wasn't
ready to claim the Cup just
yet.
"Obviously were real
happy to extend the points
lead," Knaus said. "But
going into Homestead, you
never know. You never know
what's going to happen.
"We could easily have an
issue and not finish the race.
We just have to stay focused
and keep our heads down."
Greg Biffle finishe~ second and Matt Kenseth, his
Roush Fenway Racing teammate, was third. Tony
Stewart was fourth and was
followed by Ryan Newman,
Harvick, and Martin Truex Jr.
Kyle Busch, who was trying to become the first driver
to win three of NASCAR's
national races at the same
track on the same weekend,
finished eighth. Busch won
the Truck Series race here on
Friday and the Busch Series
race on Saturday, but never
made it all the way to the
front in the Cup event after
starting 38th.
The race mathematically
eliminated everyone but
Johnson and Gordon from
title contemion, so regardless
of
what
happens
in
Homestead,
Hendrick
Motorsports will win its seventh Cup title.
But it was Johnson and his
No. 48 team that have laid
claim to the championship,
refusing to play it conservatively and merely chase
points. This crew has raced
for wins - he went hard
after Kenseth in the closing
laps for a victory at Texas
last week - and did the
same thing here.
Not comfortable settling
into second place, he passed
Martin Truex Jr. for the lead
with 24 laps to go en route to
the 33rd victory of his career
and first at Phoenix.
.;:Cowboys outlast Giants 31-20, take lead in NFC
L•,
by TOM CANAVAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERfORD.
.J. - Instead of using a
.Sharpie or running off at the
mouth, a more patient Terrell
, Owens is letting his play dom• ·inate games these days.
, He's one of the main reasons the Dallas Cowboys are
in command in the NFC East
and looking like one of the
, front-runners to challenge for
a sixth Super Bowl title.
Owens caught touchdown
.. , ~asses of 25 and 50 yards to
break open a tight game in the
,second half and the Cowboys
napped the New York Giants'
jx-game winning streak with
:r 31-20 victory on Sunday.
"This is why I feel Jerry
brought me here," Owens said
of Cowboys owner Jerry
Jqnes. "I want to be the playmaker for this team. I brought
my level of focus up with this
team. I know every play can
be a big play. We have teams
Qn their heels a little bit."
• The Cowboys (8-1) have
!'
14, 2007. 83
the division reeling after
sweeping the Giants (6-3).
Dallas leads New York by
two games and has the
tiebreaker should they finish
tied. The Cowboys also have a
three-game
edge
on
Washington (5-4) and a fourgame margin on Philadelphia
(4-5).
. Owens has been a big part
of that recently, of course,
with the help of Tony Romo.
The two hooked up six times
on Sunday for 125 yards. 1t
was Owens third straight 100yard game.
"With this offense. I know
we're capable of putting
points on the board," Owens
said. ''Everybody on this team
is making plays. I'm a big part
of that. I just have to remain
patient."
Owens had three catches
for 31 yards in a first half that
was more noteworthy for
some foolish penalties by
Dallas that handed New York
10 point~.
In the second half, the big
plays came Owens' way. He
ran by cornerback Sam
Madison on his 25-yard scoring catch to snap a 17-all tie.
When New York had to settle
for a field goal after losing a
TD on a holding penalty.
Owens whizzed past safety
Gibril Wilson on his 50-yard
score.
''Obviously today, we had
more penalties than we would
like. and we have to eliminate
those," T.O. said. "That was
everybody's emotions running
high. There was a little trashtalking by them. We came
here, the game was played and
I feel like we made a statement."
Romo was a big part of that
statement, too. He completed
20-of-28 fm 247 yards, hooking up with Tony Curtis on a
15-yard score and Patrick
Crayton on a 20..:yarder.
"A win like tonight just
adds to your confidence,"
Romo said. When you do
something like this, you have
a chance to do something speciaL"
The last time the Cowboys
started a season at 8-1 was
1995, which also was the last
time they won the Super
Bowl.
With seven games left, the
Cowboys arc tied with Green
Bay for the best record in the
conference. The two will play
in Dallas on Nov. 29.
For the Giants, their best
hopes for a playoff berth
seemingly are a wild-card
spot.
"It does put us behind the
8-ball," defensive end Justin
Tuck said. "If you ever play
pool, I've seen people make
shots from behind that 8-ball.
That's what we are looking
at."
Eli Manning threw an 8yard touchdown pass to
Jeremy Shockey, who tied his
career high with 12 catches
for 129 yards. Reuben
Droughns scored on a 1-yard
run and Lawrence Tynes
kicked field goals of 40 and
26 yards.
The second field goal came
after New York had Brandon
Jacobs' potential tying touch-
down run early in the fourth
quarter nullified by a questionable holding penalty on
guard Chris Snee against Roy
Williams.
"I didn't think I held him,
but you have to go with the
call," said Snee, who originally thought Dallas was being
called for a penalty.
Notes: Line judge Jeff
Seaman pulled a hamstring in
the second quarter and referee
Jeff Triplette's crew worked
the rest of the game with six
officials. ... Corey Webster,
who started at cornerback for
the Giants in the. season opener and lost his job in Game 3,
was inactive .... The Giants
are now l-3 wearing red jerseys .... Giants RT Kareem
McKenzie suffered a bruised
back in the second half and
was
replaced
by

Johnson had three tackles, a

Age really

Age sure does change a feller. Ten

The article discussed how residents
in remote areas of North Dakota tend
Q live longer than folks do elsewhere.
Although I've never been to North
Dakota, and reading the 'article won't
likely cause me to pack up and move
west, at least it did stir a bit of curiosity and proved to be very informative.
For example, from an active 91-yearold man, we learned that longevity is
really no big deal for these folks. The
91-year-old's father had lived to be
89, his mother 87. But his sister lived
to be 100. He had one brother·9s and
another 87. A third brother died at 92.
Of course, we are all aware of fam·tlies, even here in eastern Kentucky,
who seem to have a tendency to outlive most folks. My own great-grandother lived to be more than 100, as

exceptions. Among the farming communities of North Dakota's Great

Though school has been in session there since last month, the
administrative staff of Prestonsburg
Elementary School held a formal
open house for students, families,
and the community this past
Thursday evening, November 8.
Welcoming visitors, Principal
Gwen Hale-Frazier said, "I have
fond memories of the old Clark
'Elementary and this site, as I was
one of the first students to attend
. that school."
',Thanking. all those who helped
see the new school from dream to
reality, Hale-Frazier introduced
Floyd County Board of Education
member, Linda Gearheart, Attorney
General Greg Stumbo, Sen. Johnny
Ray Ttlrner, and Rep. Hubert
Collins, along with interim Supt.
Ronald "Sonny" Fentress to the new
school as they made welcoming
comments to those assembled.
Attorney General Stumbo said
that he felt "privileged" to have been
a part of "putting this project in the
budget." "I feel really good to know
that I can claim that I helped build
this new school for Floyd County,"
he said.
Stumbo also said that he had
hopes that a full four year college_
would soon be available in
Prestonsburg and that with improvements continuing steadily in the educational arena in Floyd County that
Teacher Debbie Holland leads choral students in
songs.
"hopefully, when these kids here
tonight grow up, they won't have to
leave to get an education...they can
stay right here and have good lives."
Before leaving the podium,
Stumbo had the students raise their
hands and pledge to live drug-free
lives. As a reward for doing so, he
promised the children that each of
them would receive certificates and
badges naming them as honorary
Kentucky Bureau of Investigation
agents.

Also speaking was Sen. Johnny
Ray Turner who praised Stumbo for
his work against illegal drugs in the
state. "No one, no matter how rich
or how poor... no family, is exempt
from falling prey to drugs," he said.
Turner also got on the reward
bandwagon telling the students that
if they pledged to live drug-free
lives that, at his invitation, they
would all be welcome "to come to
Frankfort and we'll make you an
honorary page for the day at the
Capitol."
Following a special musical presentation from PES students, conducted by teacher Deborah Holland,
all were invited by Principal HaleFrazier to enjoy a chili dinner in the
school's cafeteria and to tour the
building and visit with teachers and

CRITTER CORNER
A dog's purpose (from a 6-year-old)
A veterinarian was called by a client to
examine their ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound
named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his
wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were
all very attached to Bclker, and they were
hoping for a miracle.
Their vet examined Belker and found that
he was dying of cancer. He then told the
family that he couldn't do anything for
Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in the comfort
of the client's home.
While making the arrangements, Ron and
Lisa told their vet that they thought it would
be good for six-year-old Shane to observe
the procedure. They felt as though Shane
might learn something from the experience
The next day, the vet returned to the
owner's home, feeling the familiar catch in
· his throat as Belker's family surrounded
him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old
dog for the last time, that the veterinarian
wondered if the young boy really understood
what was going on. Within a few minutes,
Belker slipped peacefully away under the
loving and watchful eyes of his family.
The Jjttle boy seemed to accept Belker's
transition without any difficulty or confusion. The family and their vet sat together
for a while after Betker's death, wondering
aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are
so much shorter than human lives. Shane,
who had been listening quietly, piped up. ''I
know why," he said.
Startled, everyone turned to him. What
came out of his mouth next stunned both the
boy's parents and the family vet, who later
said he'd never heard a more comforting
explanation.
What Shane had said was, "People are
born so that they can learn how to Hve a
good life -like loving everybody all the time

and being nice, right?" The
tl six-year-old then continued,
"Well, dogs already know how
to do that, so they don't have
• to stay as long."
The moral: Live simply.
Love generously. Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
And remember, if dogs
were teachers. this is what we
all would learn:
"
"When loved ones come
home, always run to greet
them; Never pass up the
opportunity to go for a joyride;
Allow the experience of fresh
air and the wind in your face to
be pure ecstasy: Take naps;
Stretch before rising; Run,
romp, and play daily; Thrive
on attention and let people
touch you; Avoid biting when
a simple growl will do; On
warm days, slop to lie on your
back on the grass; On hot days,
drink lots of water and lie
under a ~hady tree; When
you're happy, dance around
and wag your entire body;
Delight in the simple joy of a
long walk; Eat with gusto and
enthusiasm and stop when you
have had enough; Be loyal;
Never pretend to be something
you're not; If what you want
lies buried, dig until you find
it; When someone is having a
bad day, be silent, s1t close by,
and nuzzle them gently; and,
Be always grateful for each
new day."
Cherish your pets as much
as they do you! (And thanks,
Jenny, for passing this heartwarming tidbit along!)

lar year, 5 I people died in that
county. One woman (the writer
of the article's sister) was 100.
and a man was 99. The average age of the women who
' died was 85; the men averaged
80.
So naturally, all this cal)s
for some sort of logical explanation. What would tend to
cause ordinary people, in this
, day and time, to defy such
odds? One North Dakotan
summed it up this way: "Clean
air; going slow; patience; a
low-cost, low-stress economy:
keeping an eye but for one
another, and long, stable marriages.''
Jt this ltst accurately
reflects the reasons for
longevity, it's little wonder
that the rest of the country is
droppng like flies, including
us here in the mountains.
Although we're lucky not to
have the problems of the big
cities, we still don't breathe
clean air. Neither do we go
slow. Furthermore, we hillbillies are also among the most
impatient people in the world.
And yes, with gas prices
around the $3 level, we do fret
over the economy. When it
comes to our neighbors-at
one time, our strong suit in this
little game-it's now a "do
unto others, but do it first" phi·
losophy.
We don't know how much
good it'd do to try to change
our lifestyle at this point, and
there's no way we could all
move to North Dakota. Guess
about all we can do is hope
we'll end up being the exception. After all, growing old
isn't all that bad, when you
consider the alternative.
