Some concerns in regard to
transportation and ease of transition were discussed, with
board member Dr. Chandra
Varia still voicing her opposition to the move. Dr. Varia said
that she feels that many parents
in the area prefer their children
attend Allen Central Middle
School rather than South Floyd
Middle, and that she believes
that families should be given a
choice in the matter.
Though board chair Jeff
Stumbo said options are in
place for those parents willing
to transport their children, the
prevailing opinion appeared to
be that for purposes of the
school transportation department, sixth-graders from the
McDowell and Osborne areas
would be provided bus transportation to South Floyd
Middle only.

Schools implementing wellness policies

FEATURES EDITOR
The emphasis is on health and
Floyd County school administrators
and teachers are doing their best to
instill their young charges with a desire
to live healthy lives. That begins with
learning about good food choices,
healthy portion sizes and the benefits
of physical activity.
Long an advocate of physical education
in
schools,
Assistant
Superintendent Pete Gtigsby Jr. says
he is glad to be in charge of composing
and impleme nting a countywide school
wellness plan.
"We' ve formed a wellness commit-
tee, of which I am the head, and we're
working hard and doing everything we
can to comply with state law in regard
to Senate Bill 172," Grigsby said.
Senate Bill 172 requires that
school s develop plans by which students receive educational instruction in
regard to nutrition, are provided adequate physical activity opportunities,
and by which vending machine programs are restructured.
Floyd school s have already replaced
sugary drinks and vending machine
snacks with healthier choices. Bottled
water, flavored milks and a variety of
juices have replaced soda. Nuts, granola - bars and other such healthier
choices have replaced calorie-laden
snacks such as high-fat chips and snack
cakes. In addition, children are being
offered the opporl'Unity to participate in
exercise breaks during instructional
periods as well as the opportunity to
join school fi tness clubs.
With funding dollars stre tched ,
Grigsby says such alternatives to regular physical education programs allow
students to "get up, stretch. move about
and get their heart rates up."
'T m still, and always will be, in
favor of struc tured physical education
programs and classes . But so many of
our schools, and councils, say they
can' t afford it, so we're getting the kids
moving all we can with exercise breaks
and recess periods and such," he said.
Grigsby also reports that local hospitals, health department personnel and
county extension offices have partnered with the schools to conduct presentations to assist in educating children about . the importance of good
nutrition and physic al activity in
regard to leading producti\ e a nd
healthy lives.
"We' ve had some great presentations from people who arc reall) dedicated to helping children Jearn, and we
have some really good fitness cluhs at
the schools. Many ·of them meet after

In 2006 Namastc began

would allow schools across
the nation to adopt their techniques and tools.
"We think thjs is the ideal
answer to help other schools
adapt our philosophy, curriculum and acltvities Lhat have
been so successful for us,"
said Slade.
According to a release

legalizing casino gambling at Kentucky's
horse tracks and possibly some other locations. The General Assembly would have
to approve amending the state's constitution, and that decision would require rati
lication by voters.
·
Beshear has said the revenue collected
from casino gambling could pay for other
government expenses such as education
and health care.
Kentucky is facing a budget shortfall
over the next two fiscal years of about
$880 milllon . Beshear has already ordered
3 percent budget cuts for various state
agencies and public universities to cope
WiLh a $434 million budget shortfall in the
current fiscal year, which ends June 30.
Lawmakers are expecting to hear
Beshcar·s budget proposal for the next
two fiscal years at a joint session of lhe
House and Senate on Jan . 29.
Nevertheless, some have complained that
Beshear's gambling proposal was not
ready.
Rep. Tim Firkins, D-Louisville, voiced
frustration 'Tuesday that lawmakers
haven't been better informed on the issue.
'T m trying to figure out, as all of this
goes on behind closed doors, who's going
to be helped and who's going to be hmt by
expanded gambling in this s1a1e;' Firkins
said. "And I'd like to know who's driving
the truck on this thing, who's involved in
the efforL lo put this bill together."
Firkins said lawmakers have been told
the casino leg islation is being Louted as
"an economic bailout" for the state, and
he said he wants to know when the major
players arc going to he talking publicly
about the issue.
"A bill is not going to just drop on this
legislature mysteriously from out of the
sky," he said. "There is going to be a lot or
wheeling and dealing before that bill gets
to us. We need to know what's involved in
that wheeling and dealing, and the sooner
the better."
However, there was "no wheeling and
dealing going on" over the matter,
Beshear said.
"There's a lot of moving parts to an
issue like this, and · we're just trying to
make sure that we get all the information
we can and make the best decision we can
going in," Beshear said.
House Speaker Jody Richards, DBowling Green, reiterated Tuesday that he
expects a casino measure to pass the
House. Leaders in the Republican-Jed
Senate have said they would . withhold
judgment on a bill until it passed the
House, hut Senate President David
Williams has said he opposes casino gambling.
Meanwhile, Beshear also disputed an
economic sLUdy by the Legislative
Research Commission last week that predicted state government would only collect $314 million, not $500 million. The
report compared "apples to oranges"
because it didn' t review Besheur's proposal. he said.
"They don'! have my bill yet to analyze, and that makes all the difference in
the world,'' Beshear said.

Editorial roundup
The News-Gazerre, Champaign, Ill. on the economic stimulus hill:
Given the general nervousness about the economy, it's pretty clear
that the D~mocralic-controllcd Congress and Republican President
George Bush will pass an economic-stimulus package designed to
prevent a feared recession.
But there's a danger, in this cl~ction year, of a political bidding war
aimed more at stimulating the loyalty of voters than the economy.
President Bush announced a general tax· stimulus package Friday,
suggcsling tax rebates to individuab and families and tax cuts intended to spur ou~iness spending and hiring ....
But there are all different directions this program can go, and that
could be a problem if legislators don't exercise some restraint.
.. U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts said the package
must ''start and end with America's working families·· while New
York Democratic U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said legislation must not
only include tax. rebates but "spending stimuli that jump start the
economy." Congressional aides say greater food-stamp allotments are
up for discussion ....
The die, howeveL has been cast, and it's likely that most people
will get a check from the government. But Congress needs to be careful not lo ~xacerbatc a problem it's trying to solve.
San Antonio Express-News, on wiretap failures:
Politicians can talk all they want about national security, but what
the FBI really needs is a good office manager.
lf that sounds facetious, consider a recent development that is as
disturbing as it is embarrassing: A telephone company recently cut off
an international wiretap after the agency failed to pay its bill on time,
according to a government audit released this month.
The audit, conducted by the Justice Department, criticized the FBI
for the poor handling of funds used for undercover investigations,
Reuters reported.
And while the incompetence Jed lo the disruption oJ a wiretap case.
it has repercussions beyond a single inddent, making the agency vulnerable to theft and mishandled invoices, according to the audit.
Politic1ans engage in lofty debates about whether the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act, which governs electronic spying in
intelligence cases, makes it too cumbersome for agents pursuing leads
on terrorism.
That debate. however crucial to the war on terrorism, is reduced to
absurd irrelevance when the FBI cannot do what hard-working
Americans arc expected to do every month pay their bills on Lime ....
The Miami Herald, on much-needed actions to stimulate nations
economy:
In a welcome show of bipartisanship, Congress and White House
arc ~.:oalcscing around the idea thal an economic boost is needed.
There are good reasqns to worry that the country is going into a recesSlOn, if it isn't there already....
That said, there arc right and wrong ways to stimulate the economy. Economists generally agree on the central principles: The boost
ha~ to be temporary, timed right and targeted for effectiveness. The
goal is lo increase spending that spurs growth and economic activity.
Remarkahly, congressional leaders and the White House generally
are in agreement on these principles. Moreover, there are signs that
each side is bending, which should encourage quick action. The tussles, of course, will come over specifics of the stimulus package. Tax
rebates for individuals. more unemployment aid and food stamps, tax
breaks for business and more arc on the table.
For his part, President Bush was smart to take permanent tax cuts
out of his proposal. ... Congressional Democrats also signaled willingness to consider provisions to aid businesses. Those arc promising
signs. :..
... Congressional action will work best if combined with action by
the Fed, and Mr. Bcrnankc has suggested there will be a cut in interest
rates. That's encouraging, too.
Whether or not the economy is in a recession, ordinary people are
feeling the pain from the housing debacle and steep gas prices. Relief
will he welcome ....

Guest column
Senate week in
review
by SEN. JOHNNY RAY TURNER
29TH D ISTRICT
.
We began our second week of the
2008 legislative session in joint session
with
the
House
of
Representatives. Governor Beshcar
delivered
his
State
of the
Commonwealth Address in the
House chamber, largely discussing
the financial condition or the slate
and what we can and should accomplish within the serious financial constraints we face this year.
I was happy to sec that Govcmor
Beshear shares some of our views on
the future of the Commonwealth.
Given the extraordinarily tight budget we face, this is really an opportunity to make sure our prioritie9 are in
order. This i& the perfect Lime
reevaluate what services state government must provide, and identify how
we can provide them more efficiently
and cost-effectively. We may have to
make some short-term sacrifices. hut
delay means forcing even-more
painful sacnfices on future generations of Kentuckians.
At the same time, we must continue our strong investments in education and economic development so
that we can attract and fill the jobs we
want our children and grandchildren
to have. Balancing our true needs
with our resource constraints will
take hard work and ingenuity over
the next three months. but I believe
my colleagues and T·will meet the
challenge. GoYernor Beshear will
address the General Assembly again
later this month to spell out specifics
of his budget proposal.
The full Senate also passed itc; first
to
bi11 of the 2008 !>ession. Senate Bill 5
would eliminate the primary-election
runoff in the governor's race. Under
current law, a runoff is needed when
no slate receives at least 40 percent of
the votes in its party'c; primary.
The measure was somewhat controversial whe11 it was proposed in
last year's session, because it would
have affected the ongoing gubernatorial campaign. Fortunately, no
runoff:- were nece~~ary in either
party's primary, but we cannot expect
to dodge that bullet every four years.
Counties statewide could have spent
$5.4 million - $1500 per voting
precinct - to prepare for a runoff
had we needed one last year. a financial bite few if any of them could
afford. Now that we're far removed
from the campaign. we can hopefully
pass this money-saving legislation
without cuncnt political considerations entering the debate.
Other measures arc also moving
through the process. Among the bills
now heading to the Senate floor is
Senate Bill 2, wide-ranging legisla
tion aimed at improving math and
science education in Kentucky.
Under the bill. schools could receive
grant money to develop midd~c - and
high-school programs to boost the
number of students taking rigorous
math and science classes. A similar
provision would seck to expand energy technology career education
across the Commonwealth. Tf we
want to ensure a better future for our
children and grandchildren, we need
to make sure they have the tools to
compete and reach their full potential. Our target is to offer all students
the opportunity to take challenging
courses that hoth engage their intellects and prepare them for the new
world economy.
The Senate J udicii:lfy Coi11llllttee
also approved a measure that could
make our roads considerably safer.
The bill, which now awaits a vote by
the entire Senate, deals with the issue
of ddving under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
Senate Bill 71 would allow law
enforcement to arrest anyone caught
driving under the innuence or drugs,
within certain parameters. Blood or
urine tesLs would be used to determine whether the driver was
impaired, prescription drugs taken as
directed would not be illegal. There
is currently an overwhelming burden
on our police officers if they want to
charge someone with driving while
high, allowing too many dangerous
drivers on our roads. Stiff DUI laws
have helped decrease the numbers of
drunk drivers on our roads, and we
hope that treating drug intoxication
in the same strict manner will do similar good. At the same time, the bill
would lessen the threshold to penalize the most intoxicated of drivers.
These drivers, whose blood alcohol
level is nearly twice the legal limit,
are by far the most dangerous, and
gelling them off the roads could drastically reduce the number of accidents in Kentucky.
The legislative process will contmue picking up momentum in the
weeks to come. That makes this a
very important time for lawmakers to
stay in touch with the people we
serve, to report on our work and ask
for feedback . Tf you'd like to share

The blood tests can check for "tumor
markers" - elements in the blood
that are higher when cancer is presenl.
Depending on the results of the ultra
sound and blood tests, the doctor may
recommend a biopsy.
Generally when a testicular biopsy
is called for, this means the suspicion
of cancer is quite high. For thj~ reason, the entire testicle is often surgically removed. Not only does tills
help prevent the spread or the disease
to the other testicle, it makes a second
surgery unnecessary if the lump is
found to be cancerous.
Great strides have been made in
recent decades in the treatment of testicular cancer. About 95 percent of
men with tl!is disease arc now cured
of it. Sometimes surgical removal of
the diseased testicle is all that is need- ,
ed. In other cases, depending on the
type of cancer and its stage at diagnosis, chemotherapy and/or radiation
may also be helpful. Witb. one type of
testicular cancer, a second surgery to
remove lymph nodes is often helpful.
As with all cancers, though, early
detection not only improve~ your
chances of a cure but also usually
results in an easier course of treatment.

a big howl and a spoon, pulled
a chair up to the counter,
climbed up and opened the
cupboard door and pulled out a
heavy canister filled with
flour, spilling quite a hit of it
on the floor in the process.
Never mind, not discourageu, he scooped some of the
flour into the big bowl with his
hands, mixed in most of a cup
or milk and added some sugar.

to walk through, leaving

there.
Brandon, too, wa~S coveretl
with flour and beginning to get
frustrated.
He wanted this surprise to
be something really good for
Mom and Dad, something that
would make them very happy.
but it was gelling very bad.
very fast. Brandon didn't
know what to do next -
whether to put it all into the
oven or on the stove, plus, he
didn't know how thestove
even worked!
As if' things weren't bad
enough, suddenly he saw his
killen licking rrom the bowl of
mix and ·reached to push her
away, knocking the full egg
carton to !he floor!
Frantically, he tried to clean
up this monumental mess but
only slipped on the eggs, getting his pajamas white and
sticky and wet. Just then, he
looked 'up to see Dad standing
in the kitchen doorway. Big,
crocodile tears welled up in
Brandon 's eyes. All he'd
wanted to do was something
good, but he'd made a terrible
mess of it all.
He was sure a scolding was
coming, maybe even a spanking. But his father just stood
there, watching him. Then,
walking through the mess,
Brandon's dad picked up his
crying son. hugged him and
comforted him, getting his
own pajamas white and sticky
in lhe process! That's how
God deals with us. We sometimes try to do something good
in life, wilh all the best intentions, but it somehow turns
into a mess. Our marriage gets
all sticky, or we insult a friend.
or we can't stand our job, or
our
health
goes
sour.
Sometimes we just stand in
tears because we can't think of
anything else to do.
That's when God picks us
up and loves us and comforts
and forgives us, even though
some of our mess gets all over
Him.
ln life, we have to remember that just because we might
mess up, we can't stop trying
to "make pancakes" for others.
Sooner or later we'll gel it
right, and then they'll be glad
we tried. And, most importantly, so will we.

Four new releases this week mel uded
two films that you can enjoy with the
young ones as well as two films you
should keep them far away from.
• "Saw IV" - " Jigsaw" returns, via
flac;hback, in this cvcniy paced sequel
which opens with the grisly autopsy of the
villain wht) urchestrated elaborate traps
for his victims in the previous entries.
This turns out to be good news as nashbacks give actor Tobin Bell a chance to
show the audience what made his character into the madman who put everyone
through their paces in previous entries.
The bad news is that they kill ofT series
regular Dina Meyer, a female detective in
all the films, which puts two FBI agents
on the trail of her murderer. This leads to
another set oftraps and 90 minutes to save
A Christmas stopover
"Santa Claus" (aka George Castelli) paid a visit to T& K Fresh Produce, in
Langley, during the recent Christmas season to pass out goody bags, fruit,
and gifts to area children. Santa also posed with the children for keepsake
photos. T& K Fresh Produce is owned by Kevin and Trisha Bailey.
a character berore the linal trap is set olT.
Another interesting ending but those have
been petering out since the second entry.
• 'The Hunting Party" - War-torn
Bosnia is the setting for this one, which
mixes thriller, action and comedy elements. Richard Gere stars as a disgraced
journalist who <;tales, on a dare. that he
can
interview
a war
criminal.
Unf'ortunalely the man Ill question
believes Gcre is leading a hit squad to terminate him and responds appropriately.
Not bad, though it loses steam at the end.
An opening montage reveals a lot about
the way news is covered (obscured) and
there is a sturdy supporting role for the
talented Terrance Howard ("Hustle and
Flow").
· • "Sydney White" - Snow White
gets updated in this coming-or-age comedy which transports the action to an
incoming freshman . at a university.
Amanda Bynes ("Hairspray") stars as
Sydney, who feels·pressurc to join her
~om's sorority but is drawn into a group
of outcasts (who aren't named Grumpy,
Sneezy, etc.) whom she galvanizes into
challenging the status. quo. Entertaining
and a nice role for Bynes, who honed her
comic timing on the dreadJul "The
Amanda Show."
• "The Game Plan" - Dwayne "The
Rock" Johnson anchors this family film
which focuses on an NFL quarterback
who faces serious lifestyle changes when
he finds that he has an 8-ycar-old daughter from a previous marriage. The young
lady has a powerful impact on his hedonistic lifestyle and helps the man grow up
and put aside childish things like dating
arm candy when he can be with his daugh
ter's wholesome ballet teacher. Not
Shakespeare hut well rendered and a nice
role lor The Rock.

• Contlnuec1 from p5
they give )OU enough to feed your entire
family. And what do we do? The food
comes, we oooh and ahhh over how big
the portion is and then we dig in. We will
either cat till we're stuffed and bag it up to
take home or we'll eat it all and complain
about how full we arc.
Let me share with you how many calorie~ are in a typical chain restaurant meal.
For fun, I'm going to share with you
something I just ate at a major chain
restaurant (thinking a salad would he a
good ch01ce) and how blown away Twas
!hat it was this many calories and this
much fat - it's just unbelie vable!
The Chicken Caesar Salad 1 ate had
1,010 calories and 76 grams (yes, SEVENTY-SIX) or 'FAT! I Hello?! T was
absolutely STUNNED!! That's just not
doing my body any favors! 13 grams of
that 76 fat grams were saturated fat, too.
What does that tell you'?
Two things:
l) BEWARE of "healthy" main course
salad options al restaurants and,
2) Restaurant salad dressings arc usually really, really over the lop fatwise and
in calmics.
And that brings me back to my original
point: less food- we don't need to cat all
of that! The "all-you-can-eaf' mentality is
particularly pronounced al restaurants.
They BRAG about their hefty portion
size!
So how do you handle restaurants?
Know what you're walking into , for
starters. If it is a chain restaurant, look on
line to see if you can find the menu and
the nutritional info for the menu. Not all
restaurants do that, but there are other
sites out there with that inf'o--jusl google
it.
Second, have a back up plan. Order
sauces, dressings and anything else that
will lend a huge caloric and often, fatly
punch to the meal, on the side. All res tau-
rants will happily accommodate ...just
ask.
Third, if you haven't split your meal
with a dining companion, ask for a doggie
bag right when your meal comes. Cut
your meal in HALF or more, and bag it
up. lf it is off your plate, you arc less apt
to chow down on it and leave with a
Thanksgiving-stuffed feeling.
And last but not least- keep restaurant
eating as a treat and not a pan of your
weekly plan. Eating at home is always
cheaper, most likely to be more nutritious,
you control the fat and the salt and the service is predictable, right? If you need help

free menus. Enjoy!

• Continued from pS
Eliminating the negativity and
commercials from the clutter
in your heads will be a bl'feat
beginning to the Trickle Up
Effect. Don' t get me started on
all those commercials telling
us what we ··need''!
The government seems to
think that more spending is
going to get us out of this rut.
What docs more spending do
for you with your household
budget? We spend it on clutter.
That clutter needs a home and
it is going to take yours from
your family. More spending
jacks up our credit ~.:ard debt
and eventually makes us feel
bad. When we teel bad about
ourselves and our homes, we
start that downward spiral.
Many of us are living payt:heck
to navcheck bet:au~e we have
homes and driveways that are
filled with sruff because
·'something" said we needed it.
J reel that we can make a
difference in the hopeless feel
in!! that is sometimes portr; vcd in the news media.
When you arc FLYing your
outlook is happier. Those surveyors who call your home are
wanting to hear about how bad
things are. Don't give them the
fuel to pollute our minds. T
think the New Hampshire vot
ers had a lillie trick up their
sleeves with all the. c news
people and poll&lers in their
stale. 1' d hct they all got
together and decided to mis
lead !hem. After all, isn' t it
your right to keep your vote
private? Whose business is it,
anyway'!
Here is my list for learning
to feel more hopeful:
l. Shine your sink!(Don't
shake your head 'NO' until
you have tried it!)
2. Plan your meals and
cook what you planned:
3. Pick up arter yourself
and get out into !he sunshine
and move your body!
4. Get rid of clutter in vour
horne, and your ·head.
•
5. Live within your means;
your income and the walls of
your home.
6. Count your blessings and
not your troubles.
7. Go to bed at a decent
hour and turn off the TV.
8. Do it now! Do something
today that will make tomorrow
better.
9. Don't sweat the small
stuff: what doesn't matter; just
doesn't matter.
10. Laugh every day, even
if il is at yourseH.
11. And lastly, Love like
there is no tomorrow. Becal1· e
all we really have is today!
Make the best of it, instead of
feeling sorry for yourself.
Let's make our homes
peaceful places to live so that
we don' t have to get sucked
into the "Oh, Whoa is Me"
syndrome!

Pikeville men's team moves up to 17th in NAIA Div. I poll
TIMES STAFF REPORT
PIKEVILLE - Pikeville College has
moved up three more spots in this week's
NAIA Div. I poll.
The Bears are now 16-2 on the season
and has won 13 consecutive games.
They'll begin league play this weekend
when they play host to We t Virginia
University Tech at 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
The Bears used a convincing 87-60
win over Alice Lloyd College and a forfeit over Ohio State-Newark to stretch
their streak to 13 and move up three spots
to No. 17 this week.
Mountain State University got nine of
the Ll first-place votes in the poll and
remains atop the poll at 18-0.
Georgetown, 19-0, is hot on their heels at
No.2 again this week. Concordia (Calif.),
LSU-Shreveport and Lee (Tenn.) complete the top five.
Of those, only 15-1 Concordia has
loss. California Baptist is 14-1 at No. 14,
and Pikeville is one of four teams with
two losses and the only one out of the top
10.
Campbellsville (18-3), under the
direction of Paintsville native Keith
Adkins, moved back up one place to No.
9 in a week that saw a lot of mobility in
the rating. After six of the top eight
remained the same, no team from ninth to
the end held its position.
Pikeville,
Georgetown
and
Campbellsville are the only Mid-South
Conference teams among the 44 getting
votes this week.
The NAIA will continue to issue
a
weekly ratings each Wednesday until
March 5 when the final poll is released.
Unlike other ratings which are used more
for arguments than anything else, the
NAIA poll plays a critical role in determining who makes it to the 32-team
national tournament in Kansas City.
There are 16 automatic qualifiers from
the 11 conferences affiliated with NAIA
Div. I basketball, and the winner of the
independent tournament also receives a
bid. Those teams will be removed from
the final poll and the top 15 teams
remaining will receive at-large bids to
complete the tournament's bracket.
The 7lst Annual Buffalo Funds-NAIA
Division I Men's Basketball National
Championship tournament wiiJ be played
March 19-25 at Municipal Auditorium in
Kansas City, Missouri.

EKU hires Dean Hood as head football coach
TIMES STAFF REPORT
RICHMOND - Eastern
Kentucky University introduced Dean Hood, former
Wake Forest and EKU defensive coordinator, as the 13th
head coach of the Colonel football program Thesd:;~y afternoon
in O'Donnell Hall, Student
Services Building Auditmium.
Hood, 44, joins EKU after
working at Wake Forest
University tor the past seven
seasons. Under Hood's direction, the Wake Forest defense
was known for cr~ating
turnovers and scoring touchdowns. The Demon Deacons
forced 186 turnovers from
2001 -07, more than two per
game. Last fall, Wake Forest led
the Atlantic Coast Conference
with 35 turnovers forced on its
way to going 9-4 and capturing
the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
"When we began this search,
we identilied several characteristics that we sought in our next
head coach," EKU Director of
Athletics Mark Sandy said.
"Dean Hood is a wonderful
blend of those id~als; great
teacher, excellent recruiter, a
pe~;son of high character, and
someone who has been pari of
the EKU football heritage."
"We are very excited lo be
back," Hood said. "My wife is
from here and we are happy lo
have our kids ncar her family. 1
am looking forward to the challenge of being a head coach. As
you progress in this profession,
you always think about doing
things your own way. This is a
chance Lo implement those
thought~."
From 1994-98, Hood spent
five seasons as an assistant
coach at Eastern Kentucky
under College Football Hall of
Fame coach Roy Kidd. He
served all live years as the sec-
ondary coach and the last two
seasons as the defensive coordinator. In Hood's first stint at
EKU, the Colonels captured
two Ohio Valley Conference
titles and advanced to the
NCAA Division I FCS playoffs
three times .
'We were fortunate to have
a neld or candidales, identified
by Mark Sandy, who were men
ol' character and proven coaching ability," Eastern Kentucky
University President Dr. Doug
Whitlock said. "1 concurred in
Mark's recommendation that
Dean Hood was the best positioned to lead our football program.
"This was a big deal for
me," Whitlock continued. "T
have been an Ea~tcrn football
l'an for almost 50 years; so T
wanred us to find someone :who
would fit in with the corrununity, had the kind of values that
our football program has traditionally been buil l upon, and
hopefully had been a part of the
EKU football tradition. And,
yes, we wanted someone who
has reen and will be a winner.
Dean Hood lllls all those particulars."
At Wake Forest, Hood and
the rest of the Demon Deacons
broke every program record
imaginable in 2006 and set
many other milestones. WFU
won the ACC title for the first
time since 1970 by shattering
the program record with 11 victories . The Demon Deacons
earned a berth in a BCS bowl
game, taking on Louisville in
the FedEx Orange BowL
Much of the credit for Wake
Forest's 2006 league championship fell to !he defense. The
Demon Deacons allowed just
15.4 ppg to rank second in· the
ACC and 21st nationally.
Against the run, Wake yielded
just 105.8 yards per gan1e to
rank 21st nationally, the third
lowest total in Wake Forest his- ·
lory. Against the pass , the
Demon Deacons recorded 22
interceptions, second most in ~\
the nation.
Hood's defenders earned
All-ACC mention 14. times.
That list includes four NFL
draft picks - Cal vin Pace,
Montique Sharpe, .Etic King
and Josh Gatlis.
This will he Hood's first
head coaching position and just
the third EKU head football
coach in the last 44 years.
"Knowing first-hand what
Coach Kidd built here, this is
one of the best jobs in the country," Hood said. ''1 remember
when T was here the fi rst time ~
thinking how many guys in t,he
history or athletics are still
coaching in a facility named
after them. That is ntle. It is
exciting to he at the helm of
this program."
"Dean will be a tremendous
role model for our student-athletes," Sandy said: "He has
worked with two of the best
people who have ever served as
mentors for young men - Roy
Kidd and Jim Grobe. 1 am sure
our current players. recruits,
and fans will be impressed."
Hood was a three-time AllNorth
Coast
Atl1lcric
Conference selection during his
playing days at Ohio Wesleyan
University. He was also named
a first team All-American •
defensive hack during his
senior year and served as team
captain his final two scao;ons.
The nutive of Ashtabula, Ohio,
wa<; inducted into the OWU
Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001.
Hood graduated from Ohio
Wesleyan in 1986 with a de!,rree
in biology. He went on lo earn a
master's in physical education
from West Virginia University
in 1989.

Patterson leads Kentucky to 72-66 wtn over No. 3 Tennessee
by WILL GRAVES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
·

,
.
LEXINGTON -Even Billy Gillispie
smiled abom tltis one.
Playing the kind or gritty defense that
was the first-year Kentucky coach's
trademark during his days at Texas
A&M, the Wildcats smothered No. 3
Tennessee 72-66 on Thesday night, forcing even the perennially grumpy
Gillispie to crack a smile as the final seconds licked away.
"We're really getting tough,"
Gillispie said. "''m telling you they were
tired going into the game (but) our guys
really fought hard. They dug as deep as
they possibly could."
Patrick Patterson led Kentucky (8-9,
2-2 Southeastern Conference) with 20
points and eight rebounds. Ramel
Bradley had 16 points and Perry
Stevenson added 14- point<; and seven
rebounds tor the Wildcats, who were 2Aof-28 from the free throw line and shot
49 percent from the field.
But it wa~ Kentucky's defense which Gillispie had said was so porous
at times this season it made him ill that pushed the Wildcats to their first win
over a top five team since beating thenNo. 4 Louisville in December 2005.
Kentucky held the Volunteers (16-2,
3-1) to just tlu-cc field goals over the
final 10 minute<; Lo snap their 11-game
winning sa·cak. Tennessee's 66 points
were the fewest the Volunteers have
scored this sea~on and nearly 20 point~
below their average.
'They misc;ed some shots tonight
they usually make," Gillispie said. "I
thought our defense wa.:; prelly good.
They arc so hard to guard. We did an
outstanding job."
Though· Tennessee's Chris Lofton
scored 22 points, knocking down five 3pointers to set the SEC record for career
3s with 367 to break the mark held by
fom1er Arkansa.;; guard Pal Bradley,
Kentucky did an excellent job shutting
down the rest of the Volunteers.
''We helped out each other on
defense," Patterson said. "We were passionate tonight."
Tennessee shot just 39 percent from
the field, including 7-of-26 on 3-pointers. Take out Lofton's 5 of 10 effort
from behind the arc. and the rest of the
Volwlleers were 2-Df--16. Rather than try
to exploit iL<> size advantage in the lane,
Tcllllcsscc settled for 3-pointcrs down
the stretch, with disa~trous results.
"We didn't have that intensity,"
Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said. "I
don't think it's because we were too confident at all. I just think getting up for a
game eve!)' single night (is dilficull)."
Though the Wildcats have struggled
during much of Gillispie's tumultuous
season -losing to Gardner-Webb and
San Diego at home during a nightmarish
nonconfcrencc schedule
the worst
may finally be over.
"T told my team coming in that
Kentucky didn't come in struggling,
lJ1ey've been playing the hesl basketball
they have all season." Pearl said. "1
think the las! couple of weeks they've
been playing well."
The win was Kentucky's second
over a ranked opponent at Rupp Arena
in less than two weeks. The Wildcats.
beat then-undefeated Vanderbilt in double ove1tirne on Jan. 12, e<;caping after
blowing a 16-pointlead.
They showed more grit in tltis one,
rallying from 10 points down early in
the second half, eventually tying the
game at 50 with 11 minutes left on Joe
Crawford's second consecutive 3-point-
er.
The teams spent the next nine minutes trading the lead before the Wildcats
went ahead tor good, 62-60, on two free
throws by Bradley with 1:30 left.
l)'ler Smith missed a 3-poin!er - a
common refrain for the Yoluntee~ in
the final minutes - and Bradley hit two
more free throws to push the lead to
four. Lofton then missed a rushed 3pointer and Jodie Meeks hit two free
throws to put it away.
"We had the shot<; that we wanted,
hut J think we rushed them," said
Tennessee forward Wayne Chism, who
had 12 point.:;. "We had good look~, we
just couldn't knock them down at the
end."
Gillispie knew his young, inexperi
enced ~quad couldn't run with the deeper, more athletic Volunteers, so
Kentucky spent most or the game grinding it out. The Wildcats would run 25 to
30 seconds o1f the shot clock at times,
trying to shorten the game.
It worked despite the best efforts of
Lorton. Mired in a shooting slump for
much of the season, Lofton didn't waste
any time heating up on !.he court where
he became a high school legend. The
native of Maysville - about an hour
northeao;t of Rupp Arena - gave d1c
Wildcats one last look at what they've
been missing the Ja.:;t four years.
He hit a 3-pointer two nunutes in,
then took advantage of some overaggressive Kentucky defense by faking
the jumper then slicing through the lane
for two layups. He ended the half in
style, giving the Volunteers a 36-30
lead .with a fallaway 3-pointcr just
before the horn sounded.
Lofton disappeared for long stretches in the second half and wa'i held 'J.>ithoul a lield goal until the final 12 seconds, likely ending the highest ranking
in Tennessee history.
'This wa<; a huge confidence boost
for us,·· Patterson said. "We believed
~'C could win. When we play like tltis
and believe in ourselves. we can roll."

BIG EAST: Louisville routs South Florida
by FRED GOODALL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. Things
were going so well for
' Louisville
that
Terrence
Williams didn't even bother
, ,trying to pulthe ball in the basket.
Four days after posting his
second uiplc-doublc of the season and only the 12th in Big
Ea<;t regular-season history, the
Cardinals' scoring leader paced
•. an 80-60 rout of South Florida
with another unselfish performance.
The junior torward didn't
score until more than Jive minutes into the second half
Wednesday night, but nevertheless helped Louisville (145, 4-2) build a 19-poim half·
time lead and cruise to itc; fifth
WID lll SlX games.
Williams had 10 a<>sisls in
the opening half and finished
wilh seven points, nine
rebounds and 11 a<;sists.
"What T told the guys at
halftime is, 'Some of you guys
think scoring leads to great-
ness,"' Cardinals coach Rick
Pitino said.
"Not only did he have 10
assists. but he didn't even
attempt a shot. That's the
impressive thing in today's
world or instant gral;lication.
That's an amazing thing for a
guy just to go out there and
say: 'Look, l'm getting my
teammates easy shots.' You
just don't lind that today.
That's why he's such a terrific
player."
Earl Clark came off the
bench to score 18 points and
grab eight rebounds as the
Cardinals bounced back from a
10-point loss at Seton Hall.
USF (10-10, 1-6) has lost six
slraighL- all in the Big East
by double digits - after winning its conference opener
against Rmgcrs.
Jerry Smith and David
Padgett scored 12 apiece for
Louisville, which led 45-26 at
the half and used a 10-0 run to
end any threat for a USF comeback after the Bulls trimmed
their deficit to 63-49 with eight
minutes left.
Williams was more than
happy to allow his teammates
to carry the scoring load.
'They were open.... I didn't
do anything special. I just
threw them the ball,'' Williams
said.
"1 want to change my role to
being the No. 1 playmaker on
this team. Everybody's got different jobs, and my job as a
playmaker is to get everybody
else points."
Clark was 6-of-9 rrom the
floor and scored 14 in the first
half, and the Cardinals
methodically built their 19point halftime lead while limiting USF to 39 percent shooting
and using superior depth to
wear down the undermanned
Bulls.
"We thought these guys
could play with us, five vs.
live,",Pitino said. "We went all
out with three different presses
to try to play lO vs. five
because that's where we
thought we had an edge."
Once
again,
Kenlrell
Gransberry was a virtual oneman show for USF until rresh-
man Dominique Jones· got on
track in the second half. The 6foot-9 center scored 14 or his
team's first 18 points and finished with 22 on 10-for-16
shooting.
Jones scored all 15 of his
points in the second half.
Louisville squandered a 14point second-half lead against
Seton Hall, but USF doesn't
have nearly enough offensive
punch to overcome such a
deiJcit.
"That was a really good
bounce-back game for us,"
Pitino said. "We're playing real
good basket ball right now. The
conclation is we have good
health, and that's a big pmt. We
have a healthy lineup:·
And a lot more talent than
USF, which dropped to 5-34 in
league play since entering the
Big East three years ago.
'There's not a whole lot to
say. ... We were outplayed,"
said Stan Heath, USF's firstyear coach. ''That's a quality
team. They have so much
depth. They just come at you in
waves."

WYU forward Da'Scan

Teresa Earnhardt out front and runntng
the show at DEI
by JENNA FRYER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOORESVILLE, N.C. - High
above the showroom floor, Teresa
Earnhardt surveyed 'her employees as
t:hcy hurriedly finished setting up for a
reception
When everything was finally in
place and her media guests had been
seated, the owner or Dale Earnhardt
Inc. gracefully made her way to the
front of the crowd tO deliver a brief
\vclcorning address. 1l1en. the woman
who hail spent the past seven years
shunning the press, stepped off the
stage and worked the room.
Although she disappeared before
the formal presentation of DEI's season goals, her effort didn't go unnottced. It was a huge step for Earnhardt,
who has stayed out or the spotlight
since husband Dale Earnhardt was
killed in the 2lXl1 Daytona 500.
"Teresa's been dedicated and
devoted to the racing organization,"
Max Siegel, the president of DEl's
global operation ·, said Wednesday at
the season-preview luncheon. 'There
has been some miscommunication
!hal's been out there, and we've tried
to surround her with a management
team that can give her some comfort
that things arc being addressed and the
ngbt information is being disseminated and we arc moving forward.
··she has participated in this com-
pany, whether it's out in front of
behind the scenes, and I fully expect
her to continue to do so."
The perception has long been that
Earnhardt is an absentee owner who
cared litlle about the race team and
focused more on preserving the legacy
or her late husband. ll didn't help
when the once-mighty organization hit
a competition slump, and a personality conflict hctwcen Dale Earnhardt Jr.
and his stepmother c~used friction in
their negotiations on a contract extension.
When Earnhardt Jr. grew weary of
feeling underappreciated, and became
convinced DEI could noL be competitive with his stepmother in charge, he
decided to leave the company at the
end of last season. The bulk of his
enormous fan base turned on Teresa
Earnhardt, classifying her as the
wicked stepmother who was well on
her way to running DET into the
ground.
But she's taken numerous steps some large, such as merging with
Richard Childress Racing on an
engine program and acquiring Ginn
Racing to build a four-car team, and
others as small as simply speaking
publicly - to prove that DEI is dedi
cated to moving forward and winning
its first Sprint Cup title.
Surprised to learn Teresa Earnhardt
had mingled with the media,
Earnhardt Jr. said puuing herself out
front is good for the company.
''Max is a great face for the business. and if it's him, it's him. She
doesn't have to do anything she doesn't want to," Earnhardt Jr. said later
Wednesday at Hendrick Motorspons,
his new race terun. "It's up to her what
she wanL<> to do. rr she wanL~ 10 let
Max handle it, then that's who we
should all respect as the leader of the
company.
"But it would help. I think. the
morale of the guys around there for
her to plug in more into what's going
on, so when she does come up to you
and make a conunem, you believe it's
sincere and you don' tthink that's just
her way of putting in her two cents
every six months."
The soap opera surrounding
Earnhardt Jr.'s departure now ofiicially over. DEl is doing its best to focus
on who is with the company and not
the driver who no longer races the
flagship No. 8 Chevrolet.
The team is proud of its rour fulltime teams, which will he championed

PIKEVILLE- The U.S.
District Court in Pikeville
passed ~own an indictment
Thursday against an
Eastern Kentucky man for
possession of a controlled
substances.
Jason Randall
Thornsberry, 30, of
Hindman, faces up to four
years in prison and
$250,000 in fines after a
grand jury passed down its
indictment
According to the indict• ment, Thornsberry "did
knowingly and intentionally
acquire and obtain possession of controlled substances by misrepresentation, fraud, forgery, deception and subterfuge, that is,
measurable quantities of
Schedule II and Ill controlled substances."
Assistant U.S. Attorney
Patrick Molloy, who is prosecuting the case, indicated
that forgery was at the
heart of the indictment
Molloy would not offer
~ comment on the nature of ·
the charges outside the letter of the indictment, or
why a seemingly minor
charge normally handled at
the state level would be
prosecuted by the U.S.
Attorney's Office.
As of press time, no trial
date had been set.

both the Republican and Democratic

Thus far the only local contested

"I'm running my race for the May

Beshear 'confident' casinos will
pass House, unsure of Senate
FRANKFORT - With a
fight brewing over a proposal
to legalize casinos in Kentucky,
Democratic
Gov.
Steve
Beshear reached out Thursday
to key House lawmakers,
promising to keep them
apprised of his work on the
issue.
Beshear is counting on the
Democratic-controlled House
to support his effort to bring
casinos to Kentucky despite
opposition
from
the
Republican-controlled Senate.
"I feel fairly confident we'll
be able to pass it in some form
in the House," the Democratic
governor
told
reporters
Thursday afternoon. "When we
get it to the Senate, it will be a
more difficult task, obviously."
Senate President . David
Williams, R-Burkesville, has ·
been an outspoken critic of the
proposal. He and other GOP
lawmakers have promised to
oppose Beshear's efforts to
allow casinos to open.
Beshear met privately
Thursday in his Capitol office
with key Democratic legislators serving on a special subcommittee that's studying the
pros and cons ~f casino gam-·
bling. The meeting came two
days after some lawmakers
voiced frustration that Beshear
hasn't yet offered a specific
proposal.
the governor said he still is
refining some elements of the
proposal, including how many
casinos should open and where.
He said he expects to present
legislation to lawmakers in
early February.
Beshear had made his proposal to legalize casinos a centerpiece in his campaign
against former Gov. Ernie
Fletcher, saying such a move

Senate approves bill
cracking down on drunk
and drugged dri·v ers
The Associated Press
FRANKFORT The Senate has
approved legislation aimed at toughening the
laws against motorists who drive drunk or
high on illegal drugs.
Pikeville Democratic Sen. Ray Jones is
sponsoring the bill and says it's intended to
close a loophole in the state's DUI law that
sometimes benefits people caught with illegal
drugs in their system.
The legislation would also have more
highly intoxicated drunken drivers facing jail
time for their first DUI offense. Jones' proposal lowers the state's blood-alcohol 'level
threshold for an aggravating factor from .18
to .15. State law says a person is legally .
drunk with a blood-alcohol level of .08.
The bill heads to the House.
The legislation is Senate Bill 71.

"I want to represent the 29th

intelligence of our people, to obey the
laws and not bring disgrace to the good

Freedom of the press is
not an end in itself but a
means to the end of
[achieving] a free society.
- Felix Frankfurter
Guest view--
We've come a
long way, baby
lt is not the least hit surprising that Kentucky has received an "F'
from the American Lung Association for its efforts to prevent smoking.
As far as the association is concerned, this state's cigarette tax is way
too low, smoking is allowed in too many public places, and too many
Kentucky adults and teens smoke.
When compared to what other states are doing, the failing grade fqr
Kentucky may be a fair one. However. when compared to the way it
wa<> just a few years ago, Kentucky has come a long way in a short
amount of time.
The American Lung Association is critical of Kentucky for its 30cents-a-pack cigarette tax, ranking it 47th among the 50 states. However,
it was just a few years ago that Kentucky's tax on cigarettes was only 3
cents a pack.
Former Gov. Ernie Fletcher convinced a reluctant General Assembly
to approve a whopping 1,000 percent increase in the cigarette tax. At the
same time, Fletcher, a physician, admitted that he would have liked lo
incrca<>c the tax more, but legislators balked at anything higher than 30
cents a pack.
l<> the mood changing in the General Assembly - particularly considering the current budget crunch? Maybe. Rep. David Watkins, a
Henderson Democrat who also is a family physician, says he will file a
bill seeking an increase in the cigarette tax, adding that he would like
the tax to be at least $1 a pack.
But what is the primary purpose of the cigarette tax? Is it to raise revenue, or to discourage smoking? As far as the lung association is concerned, the primary purpose of a tax on tobacco is to discourage smoking. Tl wants to tax cigarettes out of existence.
However, only 29 percent of Kentuckians smoke, and a significantly
greater percentage of low-income residents smoke than middle- and
higher-income resident~. Thus, any increase in the cigarette tax affects
only a minority of Kentuckians, including a disproportionate number
who are among those who are least able lo pay. Tn short, it is not a
dependable source of revenue. It is using taxes to promote good behavior more than it is to raise revenue.
Senate President David Williams think'> putting a casino gambling
amendment on the ballot is a long shot. The odds of legislators approving a significant increase in tobacco taxes may be even longer.
A number of Kentucky conununities - including Ashland - have
approved ordinances in recent years to restrict smoking in public. Such
ordinances would have been inconceivable a decade ago.
However, the lung association gives Kentucky low marks for not
having a statewide ban on smoking in public like a growing number of
other states. including neighboring Ohio. Well, while the political landscape regarding smoking in public definitely is changing, it has not
shifted so much that a statewide ban is politically doable.
lnstcad, anti-smoking advocates should continue to push for smoking
bans on the local level. Once enough communities have approved such
restrictions, the timing may be right for statewide restrictions. Now is
not the time.
One of the more interesting twists the lung association puts on its
· report card on smoking in Kentucky is the cost associated with smoking
in this state.
The lung association places the number of Kentuckians who die from
lung cancer caused by smoking at 2,607 a year. Another 1,893 die from
respiratory diseases - primarily emphysema - auributed to smoking.
Jt put-; the cost of smoking in Kentucky at $3 billion a year.
But Dr. Frank Honeycutt, a Frankfort physician , said that $3 billion
docs not begin to count the emotional toll of cancer, respiratory disease,
heart attacks and strokes linked to smoking.
The percentage of Kentuckians who smoke continues to decline, but
at 29 percent, Kentucky still leads the nation in the percentage of smokers. However, we find another statistic even more troubling: 24.5 percent of Kentucky high school students and 12.1 percent of middle
school students smoke. After decades of a steady stream of anti-smoking
messages and a mountain of evidence concerning the health problems
caused by smoking, il is disheartening to know that almost one in four
high school student<; continue to puff away at a deadly habit.
Even in a state where tobacco was once king, attitudes about smoking arc changing. To be sure, they arc not changing a<; quickly a<; the
lung association and health care professionals would like, but change
has always come slowly in this state. Maybe Kentucky deserves its "P'
but give it some credit for the progress it has made.

The curse of
Clinton ism
Jt is the curse or Clinton ism that il
is a<;sociatcd with the Clintons.
A centrist-oriented Democratic
politics that is pragmatic and economically literate is better than the
alternatives: a fluffy politics of hope
(Barack Obama) and angry politics of
anti-corporate zeal (John Edwards).
At least on paper.
For the champions of this otherwise preferable approach arc Bill and
Hillary Clinton. As individuals, they
have their strengths and weaknesses.
as do any talented, but flawed, politicians; as a team, they tend to be a
roiling mess, with something to repel
everyone lately.
Bill has supplemented Hillary' s
tightly wound discipline with his outof-control ego, her off-putting devotion to script with his wild and dishonest improvisations, her inability
to project warmth with his self-adoring aiTability. What they have always
held in common is an1bition and willingness to resort to any means sheathed in self-righteousness - to
achieve power.
Throughout the 1990s, their
attacks were directed at people who
were vulnerable by vir.lue or their status as allegedly self-interested
women accusing Bill of misconduct.,
or as conservative politicians hated
by the.press, or as special prosecutors
whose work was distasteful to the
public.
Obama's offense is opposing
Hillary for the nomination, making
the flailing attacks against him seem
the product of an outr'.:tged sense of
entitlement. Hitting Obama for a
kindergarten essay is pathetic; knocking him by suggesting he once
might
have
dealt drugs is
pathetic
and
slimy.
The unbecoming broadsides against
Obama
can
only
remind
people of what
they disliked
about ·
the
decade to which Hillary . promises a
glorious return. Along with the peace
and prosperity that Hillary wants the
public to associate with the 1990s
came a "politics or personal destruction" (on both sides) that curdled into
her husband's impeachment. Hillary
can't help being connected with the
worst as well as the best of the 1990s,
since she is married to them.
George W. Bush's presidency was
made more psychologically complex
by the fact that his father, George
H.W. Bush, was one of his predecessors. imagine if W. had had to try to
run the government together with
H.W. "Oedipal city," as his dad might
have put it. A Hillary administration
promises all that fraught emotional
tension and more.
What will Bill's role be in her
administration, how will iL change
with the vagaries of their marriage,
and who will be right when they say
conflicting things about policy?
Who knows? C1intonism delivered the White
House to the
Democrats twice
in campaigns in
1992 and 1996
that hewed to the
middle
and
made the party
more appealing
than it had been
in decades. But
no one else has
picked up the
manlle nationally.
Al Gore would have been the natural ideological successor in 2000,
but angered by Bill's spectacularly
irresponsible conduct in onice, he
distanced himself and lurched left.
Since the left-wing base of the
Democratic Party never liked the
Clinton pragmatism, the only ones
with support in the party strong
enough to maintain a relative centrism are the Clintons themselves.
And so the dcvil's bargain:
C!intonism comes only with the
Clintons attached.

Maybe no one
will win
this election
by DONALD KAUL
MINUTEMAN M EDIA
American elections are nothing if
not amusing; solemn rituals laced
with equal measures of irony and
hypoetisy, with a touch of absurdity
thrown in for taste. The victory
speeches alone are worth the price of
admission.
Take for example the statement of
Mitt Romney after he'd been
declared winner of the Michigan caucuses: "Tonight is a victory of optimism over Washington-style pessimism," he said.
Implicit in that statement is the
belief, widely held, unfortunately,
that optimism is a good thing in of
itself and that to be pessimistic is
somehow un-American. Balderdash.
Hogwash. Fiddle-faddle.
There, having exausted my supply
of 19th Century rebukes, let me tell
you why the idea is dangerous nonsense. A little optimism is fine, necessary, even. It helps one get up in the
morning and face the day. When it
reaches the point of self-delusion,
however, it masks the real problems
one faces and makes a solution
impossible.
Romney's victory took place at
the precise moment that the national
economy seems poised to plunge into
a full blown recession and in a tate
that has been living that recession for
the better part of a decade.
Michigan's unemployment rate, at
about 8 percent, is the highest in the
country ; its chief economic engine,
the auto industry, is reeling from for-
eign competition and shows little
sign of recovering any time soon.
Plant~, one after another, keep closrng.
1t doesn't need optimism; it needs
rescue.
Romney says he
can bring Michigan's
lost jobs home. By
cutting taxes, of
course. That's the
Republican answer to
hadacol. It cures all
ills. Let me say this
about that : Cutting
taxes does not necessarily create jobs.
Rich people and corporations do not
invest in plants and equipment simply because they have the money to
do so. There has to be some expectation of profit. And if there's nobody
out there with money to buy anything, that expectation does not exist.
1 will never know how Democrats
keep losing elections to Republicans.
The GOP has controlled Congress for
most of the past dozen years and the
presidency lor the past seven. Having
inherited a budget surplus, a boistero us economy and a healthy dollar,
they' ve managed to squander those
advantages and run the economy into
a ditch. And now we' re seriously
considering keeping a Republican in
the White House? That's like hiring
Michael Vick as your dog walker. On
J>econd thought, T think T know how
Democrats keep losing elections.
Their ability lo snatch defeat from the
jaws of victory is all but supernatural.
Take, for example, the decision of
the national party to ig nore the
Michigan caucu es. Michigan, seeking to achieve some relevance in the
presidential selection process , had
moved its caucuses up right behind
Iowa and New Hampshire. This so
offended the leaders of the
Democratic party that they punished
tbe state by stripping it of its delegates at the national convention. The
major presidential candidates Went
along with the gag
(most of them because
they thought Hillary
was going to win anyway) and didn' t campaign in the state.
How dumb is that?
You've got a major
industrial state that
will be up for grabs in
the fall and you turn it
over
to
the
Republicans to show
oiT their wares while you sulk in a
corner. As a matter of fact, Michigan
has a greater claim on being an early
pdmary state than either lowa or
New Hampshire. It's bigger, more
diverse and its problems are national
in character.
So Michigan didn't follow the
party rules in moving up its primary,
so what? States have pretty much free
reign in conducting their elections.
What could the DCf!OCrat<> have been
thinking or! Sometimes T really do
believe
that
everything
the
Demo<.:rats know about politics they
learned in kindergarten. After the
Michigan caucuses, the carnival
moved on to South Carolina, which
the Republican state chairman called
"a make-or-break contest."
The last time South Carolina hosted a make-or-break contest was
1860.
How' d that work out, by the way?

A diverse assembly or paper-thin
characters must contend with giant
rodents, wasps and roosters in this
cheap jack effort from "giant monster
movie" specialist Bert I. Gordon.
The film career of Mr. Gordon
(whose initials, ironically, spell
"BIG") peaked in the 1950s when
movies about giant bugs (usually
spawned from lhat new bugaboo
"radiation'') were actually en vogue
and packed teens
into drive-ins on a
regular
basis.
Gordon churned
out a fair amount

enlarging everything from spiders ("Eanh vs.

Tam Dati
("The Beginning Tilles CCIIumnlst
of the End") and
even a human
being ('War of the Collossal Beast").
He moved on to other projects in
the 1960s, but returned to the giant
bug genre with this Iilm and followed
it up with one other ("Empire of the
Ants") before quietly fading away.
It's a shame that audiences in lhe
1970s didn't appreciate Gordon's
efforts, because his latter films featured somewhat better effects, though
his scripts were still rife with plot
holes and characters so thin you could
read The Times through tl1em.
This one takes place on a .,emote
island, as would "Ants" the followino0
year, and begins with a scene set at a
football practice where we meet our
hero, and inoftensive lineman (read:

coach lets him know that his hard
work has bought him a day off so
Morgan opts to go hunting with his
agent, B1ian (who actually looks like
a roobball player) and another teammate. The unnamed guy might as well
be a redshirt extra from "Star Trek "
as he is promptly killed by a gi~t
mosquito during the hunt.
Morgan finds the body and goes
for help at a nearby farm. He doesn't
find anyone so he pokes around in the
barn and is set upon by a six-foot
rooster (insert your own joke here).
He kills the fowl with a convenient
pitchfork and then apologizes to . the
farmer's wife, Mrs. Skinner. She tells
him that God has blessed her farm
with a rood that bubbles from the
earth and makes little things big (go
ahead and insert another joke here if
you like).
Morgan is curious but decides to
take his buddy's corpse back to the
city rather than investigate further.
The coroner's report, however, raises
his suspicions when he learns that his
friend had enough mosquito venom in
him to choke a donkey.
Morgan decides that six-foot rooslcrs and death by mosquito is no coincidence and grabs his shotgun and

in whole or if it was broken. The only
possibility my husband and I could
come up with is that the egg would
cook in the hot radiator and be pulled
toward the leak. Neither he nor I am
mechanically or egg inclined. Were
they messing with my mind after a
brutal semester by confusing me, or
is this a valid short-term solution to a
leaky radiator? And if so, how does
the mechanic remove the cooked
egg? - Leslie
RAY: It's .a legitimate last-ditch
potential solution for a leaky radiator,
Leslie. But I would emphasize "lastditch" and "potential." It's something
you might try on one of my brother's
heaps, not on a car that's in good condition.
TOM: It would be like, if you didn't know the answer to a question on
your English final exam, you could
quote Emily Dickinson. Would you
get the answer right? Probably not,
but since you've got nothing to lose,
it can't hurt.
RAY: The egg works - when it
works - exactly as you describe.
You do have to crack it open, Leslie.
You pour the contents into the radiator. Then the egg cooks and partially
solidifies, and is pushed toward the
leak, where it might - if you're
lucky - lodge in a small hole and
plug it up. At least for a while. And
how do you get it out? You don't.
Which is why we don't recommend
this for a car that still has useful life
in it.
TOM: Right. Because the egg can
also plug up your heater core, for
instance - at least the yolk can. So
I'd stick with the recommendations
of the country's top cardiologists and
use only the egg whites, Leslie.
RAY: Actually, instead, we'd recommend one of the many commercially available products that work on
the same general theory- only better. They use some kind of proprietary compound that dissolves in the
coolant and then hardens when
exposed to the air at the leak site. For
all we know, those things have eggs
in them, too!
TOM: But if you can afford the
four bucks, we'd recommend a can of
something like Stop Leak or
AlumAseal rather than something
that came out of a chicken's behind.
RAY: And what would you call
OUR advice?

FRANKFORT - The end of
archery deer season sends IlliDlY
hunters into withdrawal. With duck
season also closing, the cold days
of winter hold only a few chances
left to hunt But not all seasons are
finished. Late-sea.c;on squirrel hunting is just getting wanned up.
The leaves are off the trees,
making squirrels easier to find than
they were in the early fall season.
Late~season squirrel hunting is a
great opportunity to introduce a
new hunter, get help from a hunt~
ing dog and carry a .22 caliber
rifle.
"Without a dog, it's a good way
to build woodsmanship skills for
young hunters," said John Morgan,
small game prognun coordinator
for the Kentucky Department of
Fish and Wildlife Resources.
''With a dog, it's more of a social
outing. It's seems to oo a growing
sport.''
Squirrel activity drops during
bad weather, including snow, f'..tin,
high winds and the colde<;t temperatures. But the days before and
after a weather front are excellent
times to hunt.
Look for red oak" and cedar
trees to find squirrels. 'This ycar·s
white oak and hickory mast was
pretty poor," said Morgan. "Red
oak was strong, so that would be
the species to target. Red oaks near
stands of cedar trees are a good
combination of f(xxl and heavy
cover that may be g<xxl for a lateseason hunt"
While a shotgun is often a
squirrel hunter's choice when the
leaves are still on the trees in early
season, now is a great time to usc
your .22 or.l7~aliber rifle. Since
leatless trees mean squirrels can
see you better too. you may be taking longer shots than in the early
season. A scoped rifle gives you a
better chance to take these shots.
Using a dog helps lock squirrels
onto tree branches, also presenting
a good chance l<Jr a riUe shot.
With stable squirrel populations, you have a good chance of
seeing and bagging a bushyta.il.
Eating squinel meat i, a Kentucky
tradition.
"Personally, I boil them lor
three hours and put them in a host
of recipes from there." said
Morgan. "I throw them into a frying pan with some barbeque sauce
and throw it on a bun." The meat is
also good cooked in a crock-pot or
a traditional burgoo.

"We've had our share of

Patriots rebound from AFC title game loss last year to reach Super Bowl
by HOWARD ULMAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FOXBOROUGH, Mac;s.
The Patriots needed just 4
yards for a lirst down late in
last year's AFC championship
game. Succeed and they'd
almost certainly reach the
Super Bowl.
They failed.
"All tbe hard work in the
offseason, preseason, the regular season," New England
owner Robert Kraft said in an
interview with The Associated
Press in his' Gillette Stadium
office. "And then, boom! It's
cruel the way it ends. Tl's really cruel."
He watched Tom Brady's
short pass to Troy Brown fall
incomplete on third down at
the New England 46-yard line
with 2:27 left in Indianapolis.
The Patriots had to punt and
the Colts took over at their 20
with 2:17 and just one timeout
Jell.
Peyton Manning went to
work, eating up chunks or
yardage.
With the clock showing
1:00, Joseph Addai ran in for
the winning touchdown before
an RCA Dome full of ecstatic
fans, completing a comeback
from a 21-3 delicit to a 38-34
win.
The Colts went on to win
the Super Bowl. The Patriots
went home.
"We'll come hack next year
and try to do it better," a
despondent Brady said afterward.
How 's this for better?
The Patriots haven't lost
sin<.:e.
Last Sunday, they weren't
about to give up the ball late in
their 21-12 win over the San
Diego Chargers, which put
them in the Super Bowl against
the New York Giants on Feb. 3.
Leading by nine, New
England started at its own 13
with 9:13left in the gan1e. This
time, Brady faced rour thirddown plays and converted
every one. He simply had to
kneel down on the last two
plays of the game, the
Chargers helpless to do anything after using all their time
outs.
The three time champion
Patriots. who return to practice
Thursday after three days off,
are now 4-1 in five or the last
seven APC championship
games.
"You always want to end
the game with the ball," center
Dan Koppen said. "To put
together a drive like that in the
biggest game of the year, T
couldn't have pictured it any
differently.''
Maybe he blocked out the
picture of last year's AFC title
game . TI1c motivation to avoid
a repeat of one of the most
painful days in the Patriots'
decade of dominance was
powerfuL
"All we kept stressing Lo
one another is: not this year,"
cornerback Ellis Hobbs said.
"Not this year."
Even a single loss? Not this
year, the Patriots hope.
One win shy of the first 190 season in NFL history, and
possible acclaim as the best
team ever, New England is
dcte1mined.
The
Miami
Dolphins are the only team to
finish a seac;on unbeaten when
they went 17-0 in 1972 and
won the Super Bowl.
So dose to that goal, the
Patriots have built a roadblock
at their goal line - no touchdowns and just six 11eld goals
allowed in their la<;t six quarters.
They were tied with
Jacksonville 14-14 at halftime
of the divic;ional playoff game
and won 31-20. They led San
Diego 14-9 at intermission and
won by nine, finishing it off
with a 15-play drive that only
ended when the game did.
"When you have to make
one or two first downs in order
to move on to the next game
we've all been trying to get too,
it's an exciting time," tight end
Benjamin Watson said after
Kraft walked out of the Patriot~
locker room with the AFC
championship trophy Sunday.
"lt waq exciting for us."
New England did allow Eli
Manning to throw four touchdown passes when it e~ed out a
3&-35 win over the Giant-; in
the regular-season finale,
which has sparked New York
from wild-card team to Super
Bowl underdog.
But the Patriotc; arc widely
expected to win the rematch.
They have the record-breaking offensive talent of Brady
and Randy Moss and the running of Laurence Maroney,
coming off his fourth 100-plus
yard rushing perfonnance in
five games.
They have a defense that has
risen up at the right time,
allowing just two touchdowns
in its rwo playoff games.
And they have the awful
memories.
"It was so disappointing last
season," Brady said after beating San Diego. "I remember
leaving the bus at Indianapolis
and just reflecting on how close
we were and how disappointing
it was, knowing that there was
another team going imtead of
us.
"And now we can look at
where we are now and be proud
of what we've accomplished
thus far, but reali/.e there's a
greater challenge ahead.''
The challenge to have the
lead and the ball in their hand~
on the final play.
And the pride of once again
holding in those se:une hanili
the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Redskins, Bills, Pats provide key InOinents for Giants in '07
by TOM CANAVAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST
RUTHERFORD,
N.J.- Losing the final game of
the regular season may have
been the stepping stone for the
New York Giant<;' in1prohablc
ride to the Super Bowl.
Sound odd? Tt's not.
In making the New England
Patriots work hard for a 38-35
win on Dec. 29 that capped a
perfect regular season. the
Giantc; proved to themselves
that they could compete with
anybody.
That should prove extremely valuable a week from
Sunday, when New York (13
6) gets another crack at the
Patriots ( 18-0) in the NFL title
game in Glendale, Ariz.
"We had played in some
tough games and had some bad
weather conditions the couple
weeks before, and we weren't
playing our best rootball, and
all of a sudden that week we
had a great mind-set," Eli
Manning said. "We were going
in to try to beat an undefeated
team and we played good football. We gave ourselves a shot
to win; we tell short, but it got
our confidence going."
In the ensuing three weeks
on the road, the Giants beat the
Buccaneers 24-14, knocked off
the Cowboys in Dallas 21-17,
and overcame Brett Favre and
frigid temperatures in Green
Bay to beat the Packers 23-20
in overtime.
"It got us playing good football, it got us back in a rhythm
and from then on we have been
on a hot streak," Manning
added. "We have been playing
great football and finding ways
to win.''
What made the performance in the loss to the
Patriots so memorable: New
York had nothing at stake in
the game at Giants Stadium.
Win or lose, the Giant<; were
locked into a wild-card playoff
game at Tampa.
There was nothing to gain
and everything to lose, especially if players got hurt.
That's exactly what happened
to three starters: linebacker
Kaw1ka Mitchell (knee), cornerback Sam Madison (stomach) and center Shaun O'Hara
(knee).
Mitchell saw limited action
the following week. 0 ' Hara
missed the Buccaneers game
and Madison didn't play again
until last weekend.
Coach Tom
Coughlin
insists the Giants never
thought about relaxing.
"We have a statement in our
meeting rooms that we want to
prepare, practice. and play as
if we lost our last game,"
Coughlin said. "It is just a
mentality which tells you to
keep the pedal to the metal.''
That focus has not wavered
in a season (n which New York
lost irs first two games and
gave up 80 points in the
process.
It also was the key to the
season's two other crucial
turning points.
The first carne on Sept. 23
against Washington in the
third game. Down 17-3 at the
half, the defense allowed 81
yards in the second half and
staged a last-minute, goal-line
stand from the 1-yard line to
preserve a 24-17 win.
After Washington spiked
the ball on first down to stop
the clock, Jason Campbell
misfired on a pass and Ladell
Betts was stutled on third and
fourth down.
"If I put you in that huddle,
your ears might bleed," defensive tackle Barry Cofield said
after the game. "At that point,
it's not abcmt technique, it's
not about the call, it's all about
getting fired up and realizing
what's at stake. We just came
off the ball and did what we
had to do.''
Tt was the lirst sign that
new defensive coordinator
Steve Spagnuolo's aggressive,
blitzing defense would work.
The following week, New
York tied an NFL record with
12 sacks, including six by Osi
Umenyiora in a 16-3 win over
the Eagles.
The consecutive wins
sparked a six-game winning
streak that got the Giants in the
playoff hunt.
The second half of Lhe season was not as solid. The
Giants didn't clinch a playoff
berth until rallying from a 140, llrst-quarter deficit against
the Bills on a snowy afternoon
in Buffalo for a 38-21 win in
their ncxt-to-lac;t game.
Outscoring Buffalo 38-7
over the final three quarters,
the Giants avoided going into
the New England finale facing
a must-win situation to make
the postseason for the third
straight year.
"To me, this is the best
team in the NFL with their
backs against the waH, and
when
everybody
throws
everything at them," middle
linebacker Antonio Pierce
said. "We don't need any pats
on the bull at all."
Now the Giants get the
Patriots again - with a little
something on the line for both
teams. In the first meeting.
New York held a 28-16 thirdquarter lead before Brady
engineered three touchdown
drives, with the key play a goahead 65-yard TD pass to
Randy Moss.
Madison aggravated an
abdominal muscle on the play,
one which turned the game.
"We thought we played
pretty well against them, but
we didn't play perfect,'' said
Manning, who tied his career
high with four touchdown
passes. "We made enough mistakes LO put us in a situation
where they won the game."
The Giants, however, know
they arc capable of playing
with the Patriots.
"This is the position you
want to be in," Manning said.
"We like making things tough
on ourselves. We like the
tough situations. You are going
against a team that is undefeated in the Super Bowl, and it is
not going to be eac;y. lt is going
to be a tough game, but that is
when we have been playing
our best football."
Teammates say Brady will play 1n Super Bowl after hurting ankle
by HOWARD ULMAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Torn Brady was nowhere to he
found by reporters and cameraman waiting eagerly for the star
quarterback. with or without his
famous boot.
His teammates are certain
where to find him on Feb. 3 on a Super Bowl field lor the
fourth time in his career and
leading his heavily favored New
England Patriot<~ against the New
York Giants.
"1 know he ·n be ready to play.
He always is," running back
Heath Evans said Thursday. "He
looks fine to me."
On Monday, Brady was photographed in Manhattan with a
walking boot on his right foot, a
protective device he had
removed before going to a club
that night with his girlfriend
Gisele Bundchen. The muchpublici:t".ed boot didn't turn up in
any pictures or video taken of
him Tuesday by celebrity
chasers.
Yet it gained celebrity status
itself.
"Well, considering the fact
thai he always has cameras in his
face, I guess it was only a matter
. of time," Evans said of the superstar who squires a supermodel
around New York City.
The fact he walked with the
hoot with only a slight limp that
wasn't evident later was a sign
that his injury wasn't serious. It
turned out to be a minor high
ankle sprain, according to published reports.
The NFL MVP apparently
sustained it in Sunday's 21-12
win over the San Diego Chargers
in the AFC championship gan1e.
He had two weeks tor it to heal
belore the Super Bowl.
'1 don't fOresee him not being
in this game," delensive end
Richard Seymour said.
Brady has been in the
Patriots' pa~t 126 games, the
third-longest current starting
su·eak: among active quarter
backs behind Brett Favre and
Peyton Manning.
Thammates praise his dedication in the weight room that helps
him remain durable.
"He puts in the work to be
one of the elite players because
when Tom first got here, he was
a slim, <>kinny kid," Seymour
said, "and now you kind of look
at him and he hac; legs, chest.
"He's in there doing Olympic
lifts and working out in the oiTseason just like he ww; an offensive or defensive lineman. He's a
part of us and that's the way he
carries himsel L"
The Patriots returned to practice Thursday after three days
off.
Photographers and reponers
waited for Brady to walk, limp or
even crawl in. They didn't see
any of that.
Brady never showed up in the
locker room for the 45 minutes in
which the media wcm allowed
inside. Then he was a no show
for the 15 minute media access
period at proctice. Seldom-used
backups Matt Cassel ~md Matt
Gutierre:r. never had so many
cameras focused on them as photographers waited in vain for the
leader of the quarterbacks to start
stretching beside them.
That was quite a change from
early in the week when Brady
walked through a bunch of scampering vidcographcrs and photographers near Bundchen's
home, an obstacle that could be
as intimidating as the Giants'
fierce pa~s rush.
But he handled it with poise,
neither smiling nor Crowning
much, if at all and not responding to comments from the
paparazzi.
"I think Tom's one of the
toughest players on our team,
mentally and physically," coach
Bill Belichick said at his news
conference Thursday. "He workR
hard and he can be focused on
his joh regardless of what's going
on in all of the surroundings
the crowd, the game, the wbatev
er it is, stun· flying around himbut he's very calm. He's a great
competitor, but he's very calm."
Belichick said he ·had no
comment on Brady's injury.
Then he showed a spark of
wit that hac; turned up more frequently in recent weeks.
"Tbe injury report will he out
next Wednesday and we're ex(;ited to give that to you. That form
will be filled out completely and
T can't wait to give that to everybody," Belichick said with a grin.
''T know you're anxious for il, so
when it's due on Wednesday,
we'll have it lor you. Don 't
worry about that."
Several players brushed 'oft
questions about Brady.
Running back Kevin Faulk,
said he "changed the channel"
when the boot came on his TV
screen.
Wide receiver Randy Moss
must have been happy that
Brady, accidentally or intentionally, took the spotlight off the
potential distra<-tion of the previous week, a temporary restraining order against Moss obtained
by a longtime girlfriend. Moss
didn't talk to reporters Thursday.
Seymour said he paid more
allention to the bouquet or white
flowers Brady was toting in his
hand than the white boot on his
foot.
"Every channel I turned to,
there it wa<;, magnifying in on the
boot," he said, smiling. "To me,
the good part was the flowers."
To most other people, the
rocus wa~ on a simple piece of
overexposed footwear similar to
that worn by thousands of other
athletes with nnnor injuries. an
object that generated so many
pictures and headlines and so
much worry by Patriots fans.
Now that the paparazzi have
moved on to other targets, would
Belichick portray the boot flap as
.
?
a non-ISSUe.
"Portray it however you
want," the coach said.
And wait for the injmy report.

LEXiNGTON - Four horses
from Lane's End Farm were euthanizcd after bolting onto a road and
being hit by a car.
L exing ton police said the four
yearlings were struck Thursday
morning by a car driven by Andrew
Jackson, 2 1, of Georgewwn.
Lane's End president Bill Farish
said the horses got loose abou t 7
a .m. and were being led to a barn
when they were spooked .
"As happens, one spooks and
thal spooks the rest or them,''
Farish said. "It's very hard to hold
them aLthat point."
Farish said six yearlings ran
from their handlers, went out a
gate and ran into a two-lane street
adjacent to the farm. Farish said
one yearling avoided the car and
another turned back before the collision.
The road is straight, but has a
slight rise to it, Farish said. The
borses ran over the rise and into
tltc oncoming car. Farish said.
Jackson was taken to University
of Kentucky Hospital for inj uries
that weren't considered life threatening, police said .
The horses belong to various
owners. all of whom had been notified by Thursday afternoon. Farish
said. He declined to identify the
horses or owners.

WHEELWRIGHT - The Corrections Corporation of America has come
under fire recently after an apparent
suicide at the Otter Creek Correctional
facility in which an employee was able
to smuggle a firearm through security.
"How on earth did an employee get
a handgun through security?" asked
Dee Hubbard, president of Private
Corrections Institute. "This shocking
incident warrants a serious public
investigation by law enforcement into
CCA's policies, the prison administra-

ment except to say that the investigation is still open, and that they are
awaiting the results of an internal
investigation by CCA.
However, it was reported Saturday
in the Honolulu Advertiser that Det.
Mike Goble of KSP said, "that Meade
got a small pistol past the facility metal
detector, and that company officials are
examining the screening equipment to
determine if it is functioning properly."
Warden Joyce Arnold refused to talk
to The Floyd County Times, issuing a
statement through a subordinate that all
questions regarding last week's incident were to- be deferred to CCA.
COMPETITI"ON
The suicide and security breach last
Tuesday at Otter Creek is only the most
recent in a history of problems that
have plagued the Wheelwright prison
since Arnold took over as warden of
the facility in July 2005.
In August of 2006, Times staff
reported on the arrest of the prison's
drug counselor on charges of drug trafficking in methadone. That charge
came only a week after a guard at the
facility had been arrested for sexual
abuse after allegedly inducing an
inmate to perform oral sex in exchange.

MAGISTRATE,
DISTRICT 2
THE COUNTY IS BROKE. BECAUSE NEW MAGISTRATES
SPEND LIKE DRUNK SAILORS
There WAS a heated exchange between me and John Goble, Distiict 1:.
Magistrate, because he directed a county employee to bring John Goble's ·:
personal rollback to District 2's lot and pick up a pickup truck that had been ;·
totaled out by Bruce Prater during the last snow. HE HAD NO RIGHT TO
DO THIS. It still had the salt spreader and the controls in the truck . With
more snow forcasted, we planned to put the ·s ait spreader in another truck. ,
The Floyd County Times Reporter reported like this happened at the court
meeting when, in fact, it happened in the road foreman 's office behind
closed doors three hours after the meeting was over and HE WASN'T
NOWHERE AROUND. I wonder WHERE he got his information.
Magistrate John Goble also went to County Court Clerk, Chris Waugh, "'
and asked him how many people that he was going to lay off. Chris Waugh '
was quick to tell him-NONE- because his office was in GOOD
FINANCIAL SHAPE. The Magistrates don't have any say over how the ·
clerk runs his office. THEN, "Big Bad" .John went to Hattie's place of work
and started running his mouth about what he was going to do. I don 't ha ve
to take up for Hattie-she does a good job, her~el(. She's dealt with people .
like him before.
When John was first elected Magistrate, he came to me and said that
"Rodney Ousley HAD TO GO," because they had almost fought during the
election. Rodney was District One crew leader for years for his father-inlaw, Gerald Derossett, who John beat. I told him that he couldn 't do that, '
BUT Rodney was moved out of his position into DES where he was laid ,
Q[[ after almost 20 years of service.
I suggested laying off employees by seniority. John Goble and D onnie
Daniels' reply was-NO--because ALL of District Two' s' crew would be '
working although they would be placed somewhere in the county, because _ ,
they all had around 20 years. THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE - '
BEEN. Each district got to keep two employees. John Goble voted for the "
list ~hat determined who was going to be laid off and who stayed. NONE of
the magistrates went by "seniority" or Donnie Gayheart and Bruce Prater
would still be working. Donnie Daniels refused to let Donnie G ayheart work
in his crew. Out of the 15 road workers that were laid off, eight were hire
NEW THIS YEAR. John Goble voted to lay off two of the oldest men in
District One, William Wells and Donnie Johnson. HE DON' T HAVE
MUCH RIGHT TO RUN HIS MOUTH.

Stimulus plan
is about politics·,
•
not economtcs
The stimulus plan announced by President George W.
Bush and congressional leaders Thursday is much more
..about politics than economics.
.
The plan includes targeted tax ··ebates to individuals and
tax write-offs for businesses. Ind1vidual taxpayers with
incomes up to $76,000 would get 1ebate checks of $600;
families with incomes of $150,000 or less would get
$1,200, or more if they have children.
Partial rebates would go to individual~ earning $87,000
and couples with a joint income of up to $174,000.
Anyo_ne who earned pay totaling at least $3,000 in 2007
would receive a $300 rebate check, even if they paid ·no
income tax. The individual rebates would cost the treasury
about $100 billion.
Businesses would receive about $50 billion through
heftier tax write-offs for purchasing equipment and incurring other expenses.
Also included was an increase in the amount of loans
that federally sponsored mortgage agencies could make or
buy to help the struggling housing market. The economic
effects would be marginal, according to Gary Wolfram, a
Hillsdale (Mich.) College economics professor. Most of the
i~dividual tax rebates, he says, could be expected to go into
paying down credit card debt. To that extent, it might have
a; mall, temporary effect on interest rates.
Business would not expand production or hire more
wtxkers simply because individuals have $600 or $1,200
re to spend on a one-time b is.
. The bu }ness tax relief, Wolfram says, igli ·mal( more
se e, if it were used to increase pro t,tction o · ~ood that
might result in the hiring of more workers. Patrick
Anderson, head of an economics consulting firm with
--offices in East Lansing, Mich., and Chicago, agrees.
The package, he said, would have a "small, temporary
positive effect and then be gone."
The president and congressionallead~rs are attempting to
ii\ject more money into an economy they fear may be head,
toward recession.
"' . They are seeking to calm jitters and avoid an election
J'ear downturn. But the goal of a healthy economy is fur-thered when the cost of investment and production which leads to more jobs, which in turn leads to confidence
t!'in the economy - occurs as a result of permanent changes
hl tax rates that can be counted on in business planning.
Of course, lhis is made much easier when spending is
'l;rnught under control. This stimulus plan doesn't do any of
that - but it gives-politicians of both parties a chance to
- ~...Y they "did something" about the economy - however
#elevant it may be.

State of the
cou ty
by R.D. "DOC" MARSHALL
COUNTY JUDGE-EXECUTIVE
To the people of Floyd County:
As each of you know, the law
requires your county government to
end each fiscal. year! with the budget
balanced. When I sought this office, I
assumed that adeq11ate income was
being received annually to accomplish
meeting the needs o all our people for
road ,. water and economic development In the past 12 months. I have
learned that this simply isn't so. Our
county has obligations that, if not
addressed, will break our county government and end our ability to meet
even the most basic needs of you, the
people.
1
Big ticket items that are beyond
our control are bu~ting this county,
including:
1. The Floyd dounty jail, which
law requires we f~nd, has risen in
annual costs to the/point of $1.4 million in 2007. Just five years ago, that
same jail was costing us $750,000.
2. In the past decade, the Floyd
Fiscal Court obligated itself to anumber of bond issuances and utility services, I trust all with the intent to better your lives, but the fact is the costs
have come staggering. Those include:
• East Kentucky Utilities bonds
• Southern Wa~er District bonds
• Waste Connections
• Jail bonds
3. Floyd County Solid Waste and
the Garth Landfill continue to drain
much-needed money from the budget.
The costs to meet our legal obligations there total $14 million over the
last 20 years, with no end in sight.
4. Fuel, gravel and blacktop costs
have risen at a r.ate that it now takes
almo!'>t $2 of you money to do what
was once $1 of work.
5. Health insurance and retirement
costs for county employees have doubled and now nearly exceed salaries
of those employees.
6. From 2002 to 2007, five major
floods ha"e hit us, each having costs
in excess of FEMA reimbursements,
totaling $1.25 million of your own tax
money.
"'1
In times past. loans were obtained
annually to cover this shortfall of
these ;unaway costs, then paid out of
the next year's budget, only to be followed by a larger loan the next year,
then repaid by a bigger chunk of the
next yeru:'s budget, causing the hole of
debt to get deeper each year.
Some have suggested I continue to
do the same. It would be easier, some
say, in that l would not have to make
any politically damaging decisions. I
have considered it. It is difficult to
eliminate anyone'sjob or cut a service
that helps our people. But the fact is,
my responsibility as Floyd County
Judge is not to do what is easiest, but
what is right. Your county government
is on a path toward disaster unless we
take the hard steps to get spending in
line with income.
Accordingly, the fiscal court has
taken steps to immediately reduce
personnel, approximately by 60 percent. This is painful to all, but most
painful to the workers and their families. yet it must be done to end with
the balanced budget on June 30, 2098.
That is what the law requires. Thai is
what we will do.
r
Secondly, I also am seeking Out
Gov. Beshear to hopefully restor~ a
fair level of discretionary spending' in
Floyd County for road'>. Under Gov.
Fletcher, annual discretionary spen ing for Floyd County dropped l.
approximately 80 percent, computed
to prior administrations. Your cou~ty
government shifted more and more'o1
your money to cover those cuts, hut
this ultimately deepened the hole we
are now in.
1 also ~ asking the g~vernor tc
find <1 way for costs of jails to b'e lifted from county government. lt'11has
become a burden we can no longer
bear and meet the needs of the people.
Thirdly, I am asking Rep. Hal
Rogers to seek federal financial as~is
tance to solve the Garth landfill problem, which will continue to take niillions of dollars to maintain.
Fourthly, I have asked the courl )'
attorney to revie"' and identify --all
bonding obligations we have, with the
intent to budget those obligations in a
prudent manner that will minimize the
strain on our county services.
~
Finally, I intend to have the
remaining county employees w~rk
harder and smarter with the resourees
we have to meet the needs of our people. My hope is once we make it
through this difficult fiscal year. we
can begin on July I , 2008, with more
employees and an intelligent budget
that will do the best we can for our citi;.ens with the money we have. Thi~s
will get better. but only with delioerate action. We have begun to take such
action today.

Turner's bill to allow nonresident
veterans to obtain Kentucky
hunting permits passes committee
FRA.NJ<..FORT
The
Senate Veterans, Military
Affairs and Public Protection
, ommittee
approved
hursday Sen. Johnny Ray
Turner' s bill that would allow
nonresident veterans to hunt in
Ke ntucky under the same
license fees imposed on residents.
Senate Bill 67 proposes that
nonresident veterans of the
United States Armed Forces
who wish to hunt in Kentucky
pay license or permit fees
applicable to Kentucky restdents, rather than procuring a
nonresident license or permit.
This is a savings of a $100 or
~ore to ve~erans. A co~bi.~a
hon huntmg and flshmg
license for residents is $30,
whereas out-of-state residents
pay $ 130 for the license .
Turner proposes that veterans,
regardless of where the~ live,
pay the instate fee on th.ts ~nd
other hunting and ftshmg
licenses.
"This would give out-ofstate veterans the opportunity
to hunt and fi sh with their relatives without having to pay
an exorbitant fee," said
Senator Turner, D-Drift. "lt
"also is a small token of appre
,& iation to those who have
"'lierved our co untry through
their immeasurable service.
This bill is just our way of saying thank you for their service
to our country."
Turner, a strong supporter
of the military, has co-sponsored a number of bills in support of service men and
women.
Senate Bill 67 now moves
to the State Senate Floor for a
vote. If Senate Bill 67 gains
approval in the State Senate, it
will move to the House of
Representatives for further
consideration.
Turner, who has served in
the State Senate since 2001 ,
represents the 29th District,
which
includes
Floyd,
Breathitt, Knott and Letcher
counties. In 2003, Senator
Turner was elected as Caucus
Chair
for
the
Senate
Democratic Caucus.
Senator Turner's committee
appointments
include
Appropriations and Revenue,
Education ,
Health
and
Welfare, State and Local
Government ,
Rules
and
Committee on Committees.

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
MSHA review fmds hUndreds of fines haven't been issue
The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va.The federal agency that regu!ates the nation's mining
mdustry says it has failed to
issue penalties for hundreds of
citations issued since 2000.
The agency's spokesman says
the problem could extend as
far back as 1995.
"And we would guess it
goes back far beyond 1995,
but because of a lack of electronic records before that year,
I can't verify that," federal
Mine Safety and Health
Administration spokesman
Matthew Faraci told The
Associated Press in a telephone interview Sunday.
"Given that this seems to
have been an endemic problem
that has been with the agency
for quite some time, the part
that we're optimistic about is
that we know about it and are
working to fix it."
MSHA discovered the
problem after it recently
checked into whether a
Kentucky coal operator had
been assessed a penalty following a Dec. 30, 2005, accident where a coal miner bled
to death after not receiving
proper first aid, the Charleston
Sunday Gazette-Mail reported.
Their review showed the
company had never been
fined, but Faraci told the AP
that the maximum fine was
assessed Jan. 18 for $60,000.
"There is no doubt that
there is a problem," MSHA
director Richard Stickler told
the newspaper.
"There's not a trend that
shows it's increasing. But it is
a problem that appears to have
been around for a few years,"
he said.
Preliminary data showed
that penalties had not been
assessed against about 4,000
citations issued by the agency
between January 2000 and
July 2006. Stickler told the
newspaper that the review also
showed that penalties had
never been assessed for a few
hundred citations issued in
1996.
The agency has had the
authority to assess monetary
fines for violations since 1969.
When MSHA issues a citation
against a mine operator, the
agency has 18 months to
assess a penalty. The time period stems from a court case and
is spelled out in a 1999 MSHA
regulation,
Jay
Mattos,
MSHA's director of assessments told the newspaper.
In a speech given to West
Virginia coal operators earlier
this month, Stickler told mine
operators that MSHA had
improved its inspection and
assessment process over the
past year. He said the number
of assessments against coal
operators had increased from
$20.2 million in 2006 to $40.4
million in 2007.
Not issuing penalties is the
latest issue regarding agency
operations in recent months.
In November, the U.S.
Department of Labor's inspec-
tor general released an audit
that showed MSHA had failed
to carry out required inspections at 15 percent of the
nation 's underground coal
mines.
During his recent speech,
age~
Stickler noted that the
was on track to carry ou

) 5 mayors
.. want casino
built along
Ohio River
The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE- Five local
mayors want a casino built
along the Ohio River if gambling is allowed in Kentucky.
The mayors of Covington,
Newport, Bellevue, Dayton and
Ludlow signed a letter supporting a casino sent earlier this
month to Gov. Steve Beshear.
The letter was written by
Bill Scheyer, president of
Southbank
Partners,
the
Northern Kentucky riverfront
development group.
Beshear has claimed the
proposal would bring Kentucky
About $500 million in new revenue that could be spent on
government expenses such as
education and health care.
Kentucky is already facing a
$434 million bpdget shortfall
this fiscal year and economists
say there could be an $880 million shortfall over the corning
two years.
Beshear says transportation
funding low in coming years
.FRANKFORT Gov.
Steve Beshear says transportation officials need to get creative for Kentucky to tackle
proposed mega-projects.
Beshear says officials will
have to "step outside the box"
to finance projects like proposed bridges in Louisville or
northern Kentucky. He says
with current revenue, the state
can't afford them.
Speaking to a transportation
trade group Thursday, Beshear
said Kentucky's facing a $434
million shortfall in the cun·ent
fiscal year. Kentucky's also
facing a shortfall of more than
$800 million over the next two
fiscal years.
The governor says without
new money, state-funded highway projects will likely be
delayed until late 2009 or
beyond.
Still, Beshear says he's optimistic.
House passes bill that to
allow teens to donate blood
FRANKFORT
The
Kentucky House has passed a
bill that would allow 16-yearolds to donate blood.
State Rep. Mike Cherry says
the measure should increase the
stat~'s blood supply if it is
signed into law. Twenty other
states have enacted similar
laws.
The Princeton Democrat
says the teens could donate
only if they have written permission from their parents and
if they weigh more than 110
pounds.
·
The House passed the legislation 87-0 on Monday. It now
goes to the Senate for consideration.
Thahk You!
I would like to take this opportunity to,
first and foremost, thank the Lord above
for the many blessings that He has given
us. I also want to thank all my patients,
family, and friends, who participated in
our sixth annual food drive. We collected
1200+ pounds of food for a local pantry.
Thanks to you, once again, for making it a
great success.
Beshear juggling funds to
pay for World Equestrian
Games projects
FRANKFORT Gov.
Steve Beshear says he's planning to shift unused money for
state parks to finance upgrades
at the Kentucky Horse Park.
K~ntucky will host the first
World Equestrian Games held
outside of Europe in 201 0.
Beshear says he's taking
more than $28 million out of a
bond pool for state parks that
was never spent to pay for ai1
indoor arena and an outdoor
stadium. Beshear says money
will also go for temporary outdoor seating. lighting and video
screens.
The games are expected to
draw 500,000 <>pcctators and
I ,700 athletes from 60 nations.
Their economic impact for the
state is estimated at more than
$150 million.

Eastern Kentucky counties eligible to apply for Center/ARC mini-grants
SOMERSET- The Center
for Rural Development has
issued an orficial invitation for
applications to its Developing
~ and Implementing Community
Strategies program.
Through funding support
Appalachian
from
the
Regional Commission (ARC) ,
The Center will be providing
two cycles of mini-grants to
encourage
and
support
improved community strategic
planning and implementation
throughout the Southern and
Eastern Kentucky region.
Applications for the first
cycle of project funding ·are
due by Friday, Feb. 29, for the
project period of Apr. 7
through Oct. 6, 2008. The list
of
community
projects
approved for funding is scheduled to be announced on Apr.
1.
"At the core of The
Center's mission is to stimulate innovative and sustainable
economic development solulions in the region we serve.
and these grants target communities that have the ideas.
r
but lack the resources, to move
them forward," · said The
Center for Rural Development
President and CEO Lonnie
Law~on.
"The Center/ARC
grants awarded in 2005 made a
significant impact on each of
the counties and cities that
received them and served to
underscore the critical importance of strategic thinking and
planning
regardless of the
size of the community. We
fully expect that this funding
will build on that beginning
and impact our region to a
much greater extent."
Funds will be available in
two aspects of community
strategic
planning:
1.)
Technical assistance and seed
money to assist local communities with the successful creation of a strategic plan, and
2.) Assistance with the implementation of community
development projects identified in existing communitybased strategic plans. All
counties designated by ARC as
"distressed," and cities in
those counties, are eligible to
apply (See a complete list of
eligible counties near the end
of this article). After the close
of the first funding cycle on
Oct. 6, The Center will host a
program where grant recipients will be recognized and
asked to share accomplish ments and lessons learned
through their community
strategic planning project.
Applications
will
be
reviewed by The Center and
scored based on pre-established guidelines. Funding
will be awarded based on the
cumulative score of each
applicant. Project awards will
range from $5,000 up to a
maximum of $20,000 and
must be completed within the
six-month project period.
Selected communities will be
required to provide a local
cash match of 20% in an
amount relative to their grant
award.

for food and candy.
In January 2006, after the
death of inmate, Sarah Ah
Mau, 43, CCA said that her
are had been "appropriate and
provided promptly, in a quality
manner," and that Ah Mau had
died of natural causes. It was
later reported in the CourierJournal that Ah Mau complained of a stomachache for
almost a month and that she
had told family members
before her death that her pleas
for medical attention were
being ignored.
After the incident a
( ouricr-Joumal reporter was
permitted to interview 10 of
the Hawaiians but barred from
asking any questions about Ah
Mau's death. At the direction
of Warden Arnold, all the
interviews were monitored by
the prison's 'security director.
Louise GraJ;J.t, vice president of marketing and communications for CCA, would not
comment further on the ongoing investigation but when
questioned on Otter Creek's
history said that CCA has a
zero-tolerance policy on drug
abuse, and that their prisons
act in accord with the stringent
standards that are laid out by
the American Correctional·
Association. "We do not think
Otter Creek is troubled," said
Grant.
"I can't imagine that the
American
Correctional
Association would continue to
accredit this facility under
these circumstances," said
Hubbard. "This is another
example of lax oversight and
security at the hands of forprofit private prison companies. It's time for CCA to be
held acCOI.\fltable for its disregard for common sense correctional practices."
Otter Creek is a 656-bed
minimum-medium security
prison that houses female prisoners from the states of
Kentucky and Hawaii respectively.

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
Odds & lEnds
• CHESTERTON, Ind.Two fourth-grade boys mimicking a scene from the movie
"A Christmas Story" wound
up with their tongues stuck to
a frozen flagpole.
Gavin Dempsey and James
Alexander were serving on
flag
duty
at
Jackson
Elementary School Friday
morning, with the job of raising and lowering the school's
flags. They decided to see if
their tongues really would
stick to the cold metal.
"I decided to try it because
I thought all of the TV shows
were lies, but turns out I was
wrong," Gavin said.
Karen Alexander, James'
mother, said her son told her
he got the idea from the
movie, which is based on stories about a boy growing up in
the northwest Indiana community of Hammond in the
1940s.
· "I can't believe he did it,
but they learned their lesson,"
she said.
James said he plans to eat a
lot of ice cream to help nurse
his wound.
"When you're young,
you're just messing around,"
he said.
Billie Dempsey, Gavin's
mom, said a nurse called them
to tell them the boys' tongues
were bleeding.
"The nurse asked them,
'OK, who double-dog dared
who?'" Billie Dempsey said, a
r«ference to a phrase that a
character in the movie used to
dare another child to stick his
tongue to the pole.
• ADRIAN, Mich. - A
man was charged with drunken driving after going through
two bottles of wine, cutting
tqrough a snowstorm on his
lawn mower and riding down
the center of the street to reach
a liquor store, authorities said.
Police
found
Frank
Kozumplik, 49, homeward
bound on a John Deere tractor
Saturday night, toting four
bottles of wine in a paper bag,
officials said.
He told officers that his
wife had taken their car to
work, and that the mower was
the only way he could reach
the store, two miles from
home.
His blood alcohol level was
2-,Q times Michigan's legal
driving limit of 0.08 percent,
police told WLEN-FM. They
arrested him and confiscated
the mower.
Kozumplik declined to
comment Monday night.
• TOPEKA, Kan. - The
son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius
is peddling a board game titled
"Don't Drop the Soap," a
prison-themed game he created as part of a class project at
the Rhode Island School of
Design.
John Sebelius, 23, has the
backing of his mother and
father, U.S. Magistrate Judge
Gary Sebelius. The governor's
Spokeswoman,
Nicole
Corcoran, said both parents
"are very proud of their son
John's creativity and talent."
John Sebelius is selling the
game on his Internet site for
$34.99, plus packaging, shipping and handling. The contact
information on the Web site
lists the address of the governor's mansion. .Corcoran said
the address will change when
John Sebelius moves.
The game also goes on sale
starting Jan. 31 at a shop
called Hobbs in the college
town of Lawrence.
"Fight your way through 6
different exciting locations in
hopes of being granted
parole," the site says. "Escape
prison riots in The Yard, slip
glass into a mob boss' lasagna
the
Cafeteria,
steal
1killers from the nurse's

he game includes five
~ns representing a bag of
c aine, a handgun and three
racters: wheelchair- using
1eelz,"
muscle-flexing
1ferny" and business suite I "Sal 'the Butcher."'
:orcoran
said
John
<;; elius sought legal advice to
1-,
sure he followed proper
c Jirements, and he even
took out a loan to pay for the
production of his work.
"This game is intended for
mature audiences- not children - and is simply intended
for entertainment," Corcoran
said.
• EIGHTY-FOUR, Pa. Cats may have nine lives, but
one unique feline has five legs
-for now.
The cat, named Babygirl,
will undergo surgery to
remove the extra leg and
another crippled leg, though
the operation has not yet been
scheduled.
The surgery is expected to
leave the cat with three legs,
and improve her quality of
life,
according
to
the
Washington Area Humane
Society, where the cat will live
until a home can be found for
her.
Chrystin Rice, a kennel
associate, said a woman
brought Babygirl to the shelter
on Jan. 19. The woman had
first seen the stray animal as a
kitten about a year ago in
Canonsburg,
south
of
Pittsburgh.
Babygirl appears to be in
good health, Rice said
Saturday.
"It's actually a really, really
nice cat," she said.
Rice said some people have
expressed an interest in the
cat. but no one has applied to
adopt her.
"We've had a few calls
come in, but everyone's just
kind of asking how's she
doing, when's the surgery,"
Rice said .
•
CINCINNATI
Searchers on the ground and in
a sheriff's department helicopter Monday were looking
for an Angus steer that postponed its date with a slaughterhouse by bolting out a gate
that had been inadvertently left
open.
The more than 1,000-pound
animal escaped from a slaughterhouse holding pen Monday
morning and ran into the
woods of suburban Cincinnati,
to
Colerain
according
Township police and the
Hamilton County Sheriff's
Office.
The steer was last seen
heading into woods several
blocks north of Stehlin's Meat
Market and Interstate 275, said
Dick Stehlin, co-owner of the
meatpacking business. He said
the
bovine
should
be
approached with caution.
"It's not, say, a mean animal or anything like that, it's
just sort of in a panic stage,"
Stehlin said. "It's just out running, not even knowing where
it's heading."
It's not the first time a steer
has been on the loose in the
Cincinnati area. In September
2006, a steer named Little Red
ran from a fair and eluded capture for three days.
• MONTPELIER, Vt.
How many politicians does it
take to draw a laugh?
At least one in Vermont,
where state Rep. Jason Lorber
does standup gigs, produces
comedy shows and runs
improv workshops when he's
not making laws.
"When I first came here,
people said 'You're the first
comedian to come to the
Statehouse.' I say 'I'm the first
PROFESSIONAL comedian
to come to the Statehouse,"'
he said.
He says legislating and performing are both passions for
him.
"Politics is about changing
society and trying to make the
world a better place. And performing makes me feel o
alive. I love the creative aspect
of it," he said.
Lorber
grew
up
in
California, making him a "flatlander" or non-native to
Vermonters. That gives him an
outsider's view on things New
Englanders take for granted,
like coping with winters:
"I have a regimen for keeping warm: I get up, I put on a
tank top, T-shirt, flannel shirt,
sweater, jacket and scarf. Then
if it dips below 50, I put on
more clothes."

The official web portal
of the Federal Government
U.S. General Services Adminit:tr3ilon
Or the state's quirky fondness for the good old days:
"I'm used to directions
based on what street you're
supposed to turn on. In
Vermont, directions are based
on landmarks that burned
down 15 years ago."
He also isn't shy about basing humor on his personal life
- he's gay, in a civil union,
and has a 1-year-old son.
"The thing about my partner is, he's gay. Which I'm
fine with. Growing up, I never
pictured myself being with a
gay guy. Now, I've come to
realize that I could never be
happy being with a straight
guy."
While standup comedy
isn't exactly big business in
Vermont - the state has no
comedy clubs some of
Lorber's fellow lawmakers
have an appreciation for what
he's doing.
"Anybody who can stand
up in front of a group of pea-
pie and try to elicit laughter,
maybe being a legislator is the
easy part of his life," said state
Rep. Floyd Nease.
• CHARLESTON, W.Va.
- Charleston Mayor Danny
Jones had a problem as he
tried to get through the securi-·
ty gate at a California airport:
He had misplaced his driver's
license, and the expired one in
his wallet wouldn't do.
The guards at John Wayne
Airport in Orange County
searched his bag, he told the
Charleston Daily Mail for a
story published Monday.
Then he remembered picking up a copy of Charleston
Magazine while on his way to
the West Coast for a little rest
and relaxation.
Inside was a photograph of
him standing in downtown
Charleston and an article Jones
had written as mayor welcoming visitors to the state capital.
Only then was he allowed
MONEY DOWN
l
to board his flight home.
• ARLINGTON, TexasA burglar who broke into a
Greek Orthodox bishop's car
made off with quite a haul, but
fencing one of the stolen items
could prove difficult.
Among the items stolen
from Bishop Metropolitan
Isaiah's car was a jeweled
crown o f gold and silver,
which Isaiah estimated to he
worth between $6.000 and

�WEDNESDAY, JANUARY
THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
30, 2008 • A16
• Continued from p1
my first choice and Stumbo's
last. Unlike my opponent, this
is not a position I want for
self-interest
or
personal
gains."
"I've seen what kind of
friend he has been to me and
my family and that is the same
kind of friend he has been to
F)oyd County - no friend at
all," Meade said. "It is the people's seat, not Greg Stumbo's
seat and I want to be the people's candidate and I ask for
their vote and support."
But before the May showdown, the former attorney
general must first face his
Republican counterpart in next
week' s election, Larry D.
Brown, former Prestonsburg
City Attorney, who has also
filed to take part in the general
election. Brown could not be
reached for comment. An official at Brown's law office said
he had left for Frankfort early
Tuesday morning to file his
official declaration of candidacy.
In and email to the Times
news desk, Brown lists his top
three priorities, should he be
elected representative as, "preventing casino gambling, making health insurance competitive again and reducing the
cost and size of government."
The special election Will
also feature a third candidate,
Chuck
Eddie Meade
Meade's father
who
announced shortly after the
Democratic and Republican
nominations that he would run
as a write-in candidate.
''I think I can make a better
difference in the time left than
Stumbo or Brown," Meade
said when announcing his candidacy.
After filing as a write-in·
candidate, Meade said that he
would run in the May primary
if he won, though Meade's
name was absent from the roster of candidates provided by
the Secretary of State when the
deadline to file expired yesterday afternoon.
"I decided to just pursue the
unexpired term," Meade said
when asked why he did not file
for the regular election. "I
have no desire to be a career
politician."
Meade said that he entered
the special election largely to
speak against the issue of casino gambling. He said that neither Brown or Stumbo would
meet him in a debate.
When asked about the possible benefits to Floyd County
of a casino coming to Thunder
Ridge, Meade said it would
take more money out of the
county than it brought in, and
that it would take food but of
children 's mouths. Meade
added, "Most of Floyd county
doesn't know where Thunder
Ridge is."
In an interview Tuesday
afternoon, Stumbo illustrated
his position on the possibility
of casino gambling.
"Personally, as a citizen, I
do not favor a casino in Floyd
County, and I would only support the measure if there was a
local referendum."
If an
amendment is approved, as a
practical matter, he believes it
is "very unlikely" that a casino
would come to Floyd County.
With the possible exception
being Lexington, Stumbo says
that border cities which sit on
interstate highways such as
Ashland and Bowling Green
would be the logical choices in
which to build casinos.
"I do believe in the people's
right to vote on an amendment
to the Constitution," said
Stumbo. "That is something I
have supported my whole
career. The people have a right
to be heard."
The legalization of casino
gambling would require an
amendment to the Kentucky
Constitution, which requires a
Stumbo
state wide vote.
likened it to 1988's lottery
ame ndment, where over a million Kentuckians turned out to
vote on the lottery referendum.
The measure passed with 60
percent of the votes in favor of
creating a lottery.
Stumbo said that in the
event of an amendment on
casino gambling, it is important that voters know exactly
what they are voting on, "how
many licenses, where will they
(the casinos) be, will there be
local referendums."
While much has been made
of the possibility of casino
gambling coming to Kentucky,
Stumbo did say, "The governor's bill has not been filed
yet," adding that it is hard to
speak on legislation that is yet
to be filed.
As the only Republican
candidate to file for the regular
election, Brown will meet the
winner of the Meade-Stumbo
Democratic primary in the
November general election.
According to Mary Sue
Helm, election administrator
for the Secretary of State,
"Kentucky does not permit.
write-in candidates in a primary election."
However, Helm added,
"Anyone can run as a write-in
candidate in the November
general elections, provided
that person meets all the qualifications."
In other local elections,
Hubert Collins of the 97th
house district will be unopposed in 2008, while state Sen.
Johnny Ray Turner will be facing a familiar opponent in his
bid for reelection.
Eric Shane Hamilton, who
lost to Turner four years ago
by a scant 24 votes, will chalthe
lenge
Turner · in
Democratic primary. No
Republican filed for the seat.
In other races , the U.S.
Senate race has attracted interest from many, leading to a
large field seeking to challenge incumbent Sen. Mitch
McConnell.
In all, eight Democrats
have lined up for the May primary, including millionaire
businessman and former
gubernatorial candidate Bruce
Lunsford, who waged an
unsuccessful campaign for
governor last year with former
Attorney
General
Greg
Stumbo as his running mate.
Others
seeking
the
Democratic nomination in the
U.S. Senate race include:
• Michael Cassaro, of
Prospect.
Greg Fischer, of
Louisville.
Andrew Horne, of
Louisville.
James E. Rice, of
Campbellsville.
Kenneth Stepp, of
Manchester.
• David L. Williams, of
Glasgow.
of
David Wylie,
Harrodsburg.
On the Republican side,

•
•
Board
• Continued from p1
Billy. Maynard, president of
the Floyd County Chamber of
Commerce, also attended the
meeting in order to express
appreciation, again via formal
proclamation,
from
the
Chamber for each board member's service to Floyd County
children.
Beverly Crisman, community liaison for the board, recognized the Floyd County
Sheriff's Department and
Prestonsburg
Police
Department for their support
and assistance with traffic routing during the opening days of
the
new
Prestonsburg
Elementary School.
Crisman also recognized the
Allen Central High School
girls' volleyball team for their
accomplishment of being
named title winners of the 58th
District •
Volleyball
Championship for the third
year in a row. The team is
coached by Larry Maynard.
Crisman offered thanks and
praise to "all of Floyd County
Schools' community partners"
and also said that she felt that
these partnerships were vital to
the success of the district.
Continuing the recognitions, Tonya Home-Williams,
principal of May Valley
Elementary, recognized her
school's teachers and staff for
the hard work and dedication
they put forth in order to assist
in the school's accomplishment
of being named first in the state
among K-5 schools with a
CATS score of 123.3 for the
2006-07 school year.
Among those recognized
and presented with plaques
were teachers Cassandra Fulks,
Bridget Vanover, Kim Potter,
Tammy
Farmer,
Wesley
Moore,
Je nny

Debbie Hatfield, Vickie Slone,
Teressa Lester, Sherrie Slone,

~ombs and Shawna Hagans.
Following the introductory
1eriod of special recognitions,
(tistina Springer, director of
upil personnel, presented a
"~port to the board members in
regard to attendance. Springer
reported that problems with
student attendance were still
being examined and that
school representatives contacted absent students each day in
order to determine why they
were not at school.
Vice Chair Sherry Robinson
asked Springer if logs were
being kept on student responses in order to provide a database correla ting to student
absences.
Specifically,
Robinson said she was interested in obtaining data that might
correlate student absences to
bullying.
"If a student is checking out
three or more times a week,
saying they have a headache or
a stomachache, that might be a
signal that some bullying is
going on,': she said. Robinson
said that in such cases, she felt
that follow-ups should be conducted to determine if, in fact,
the particular stucle!_lts in question might be the victims of
bullying.
Board
member
Carol
Stumbo said also that she
would like some sort of data
that would be helpful iri the
analysis of determining why
attendance continues to falter
in the district. "It could be bullying, problems related to low
socio-economics, or maybe the
student is just not 'turned on,"'
she said.
"We can' t fix the problem if
we don't know what the cause
is," Robinson said.
In other business, the board
voted to approve a meeting calendar that would require only
one, and not two, business
meetings a month.
Board Chair Jeff Stumbo
said that he felt that it had been
"a long time coming,'' but that
he felt the school board was
now stable enough to conduct
necessary business in one
meeting a month.
"If we run into problems,
we' ll go back to two, but we'll
try it this way for awhile," he
said.
The next regular meeting of
the Floyd County Board of
Education is scheduled to be
h eld Feb. 25, at Betsy Layne
Elementary School.

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
SEC: Bradley leads Wildcats over South Carolina
by JEFFREY McMURRAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
.
•
•
:
LEXINGTON- In a career game
for Kentucky guard Ramel Bradley,
his flashiest play of all was an errant,
behind-the-back pass that sailed far
wide of Derrick Jasper, right into the
Wildcats' bench.
Even Bradley acknowledged it's
not something he would have tried
earlier in the year when he was still
getting used to his often stem new
coach, Billy Gillispie.
"I'd have followed (the ball) right
to the bench and been sitting the
whole time," Bradley said.
Instead, Bradley played every second of Kentucky's 78-70 victory over
South Carolina Saturday. The
Wildcats (9-9, 3-2 Southeastern
Conference) badly needed him too,
and his 26-point, 10-rebound effort.
Behind their spirited senior leader,
he Wildcats returned to the .500
mark, and combined with Thesday's
upset of No. 3 Tennessee, have won
consecutive games for the flrst time
since November.
Gillispie used some rare superlatives to describe Bradley. The coa~h
didn't even mind the flashy pass
attempt, although he did question the
timing somewhat.
"He has been fantastic, and he has
been getting better," Gillispie said.
"That is what makes me very proud
to watch him play every single sec-·
ond of every single play in the game
and in practice. He means so much to
us , and he has been awesome."
Although the Gamecocks (9-1 0, 14) knocked down 12 3-pointers tying a season high in the conference
with Tennessee and Mississippi State
- Bradley had the accuracy advantage. He was a perfect 5-for-5 from
long-range, one shy of his career
high.
"I'm just in a groove right now,
feeling really confident," Bradley
said.
Bradley's only previous doubledouble came last year against
Auburn. Freshman center Patrick
Patterson nearly joined him, with 22
points and 9 rebounds.
But Patterson insisted, thi s was
Bradley's afternoon.
"It makes it easier on everybody,"
Patterson said. " He knows when to
knock down the open shot, and he's
great at penetrating the basket. He's
been a great leader."
Joe Crawford, one of Kentucky's
top scorers, missed the game with a
foot injury. As a result, the Wildcats
got all but five of their points from
four scorers - Bradley, Patterson,
Jodie Meeks and Perry Stevenson.
Jasper got the rest, including a
wide-open 3 with flve minutes left
that gave Kentucky the lead for good.
Kentucky shot 51 percent from the
field - the first time in SEC play it
has made at least half its shots. The
Wildcats also won the rebounding
battle for the fourth time in fi ve confe~nce games.
But until the end, the Gamecocks
presented a major threat, particularly
the way Devan Downey was shooting. He led South Carolina with 24
points.
·
South Carolina, which has beaten
Kentucky only once in 22 meetings in
Lexington, got a layup from Dwayne
Day just before halftime to pull to
within 39-34. That began a 14-0 run
that included three consecutive 3s
early in the second half - two from
Zam Fredrick and one from Evaldas
Baniuli s that gave the Gamecocks
their flrst lead.
Fredrick added another 3-pointer
with 16 minutes to go, pushing the
Wildcats' deficit to 46-39 - their
largest of the game.
That's when Kentucky's slumping
shooters reawakened.
The Wildcats got three dunks from
Stevenson, another from Patrick
Patterson and a critical 3 from Ramel
Bradley during a key stretch to tie the
score.
"They gave us the lead, but we
kind of went cold," Downey said .
"Any time you're not maki ng shots,
you' re not scoring. And if you're not
scoring, it's hard to win."
It was the final Rupp Arena
appearanc·e for South Carolina coach
Dave Odom, who announced earlier
this month he would retire at the end
of the season. Odom, who has topped
400 wins coaching three different
programs, was presented a chair from
the arena 's visitors bench.
"It has been a real honor to come
and play in this building year a
year," he said.

·Fowles' double-double carries LSU past UK
by JEFFREY McMURRAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON
Kentucky tried everything it
could to stop LSU AllAmerican Sylvia Fowles and
nothing worked.
Fowles had 20 points and
10 rebounds for her 72nd
career double-double and the
Tigers (16-3, 5-0) continued
their dominance of the
Southeastern Conference with
a 72-46 victory over the
Wildcats on Sunday.
LSU coach Van ·Chancellor
said he wasn't surprised
Kentucky threw everything
- sometimes as many as four
different defenders - against
his star center. He also wasn't
surprised that she didn't
appear fazed.
"When she brings it like
she did tonight, she's hard to
guard, I don ' t care who you
are," Chancellor said. "What
you saw tonight is what you
see every night."
The Wildcats did manage
to bother Fowles early on
with their defense which was
designed to shut her down.
"I can remember going
back to the bench after getting
frustrated," Fowles said.
"Coach chewed me out a little
bit. It got me pumped, got me
motivated to go back and
play."
The Tigers have won their
flve league games by an average of nearly 26 points and
appear to be on a collision
course with No. 2 Tennessee
on Feb. 14 that could determine
SEC
supremacy.
Chancellor, however, refuses
to let his players look ahead
- focusing instead on the
next game Thursday against
South Carolina.
Kentucky ( I 0-10, 4.12.)
could have moved into a tie
with the Tigers for second
place with a victory but was
thoroughly overmatched.
"Just real disappointed ,"
Kentucky coach Matthew
Mitchell said. "A real bad day
for us, and we will just have
to get better and try to bounce
back."
Although not quite as lopsided as LSU's record-setting
53-point blowout against
Mississippi State earlier this
month , this was the Tigers'
second-largest win. in leag ue
play, and the outcome was
never in much doubt.
Kentucky missed its flrst
three shots and had four early
turnovers, fai ling to sc ore
until Amber Smith' s layup
four and a half minutes into
the game.
By then, LSU had jumped
out to a 12-0 lead, with half of
those points coming on consecutive wide-o pen 3s by
Quianna Chaney.
The Tigers would connect
on just three more long-range
buckets, but wouldn't need
them. Not the way Fowles
qominated the post, even
amid double and triple-team s.
"We jump out of the box
sco11ing and do~ng everything
we bave to do t<b try to make it
I
di fficull for them," Fowles
said. "That was ooc game plan
and we followed through."
On one posse ssion early in
the second half, three
Wildcats hovered beneath the
basket looking to rebound an
LSU miss. Fowles ju mped
higher than th(:m all , grabbing
the ball with her left hand and
tossing back an easy layup.
Fowles m ade nine of 11
shots· from the field, and she
proved too much to handle for
Kentucky's tallest player, 6foot-6 senior Sarah E lliott,
who picked up her fourth foul
with eight minutes left.
"We were well aware not
one person could guard her all
night," E lliott said. "That's
why she 's an All-American.
She never stops trucking."
Elliott was more of a forcL
on offense, leading Kentucl<)
with 17 points.
,
The Wildcats ' o utsisJl
shooting wasn't much bette
as the y connected on just one
of eight 3-point attempts.
T hat was by star guard
Samantha Mahoney, v.f o
made just two of 12 shots
from the field, finishing with
12 points.
Chaney ( 13) and Allison
Hightower (12) joined Fowles
as double-digit scorers for the
Tigers.
Kentucky 's only m odest
run came midway through the
first half to cut the deficit to
14-8. The Wildcats would get
no closer as LSU stormed into
halftime on a 14-3 run,
putting them ahead 41 -23. '

on Saturday.
"It's been a down year for
me to not be able to do some
of the things I've been able to
do," said Caracter, who led
the Cardinals with 17 points.
"! know I've just got to keep
working at it."
Caracter smiled as he
talked, a departure from the
grumpy, enigmatic figure he 's
become forthe Cardinals (155, 5-2 Big East). It hasn't
been the easiest season for
Caracter, as he's played himself in and out of coach Rick
Pitino's doghouse.
When he's out, as he was
against the Red Storm (7-11 ,
1-6), the Cardinals feel they
can compete with just about
anyone in the country.
"I just thought he was very
aggressive in the offense,"
Pitino said of Caracter. " He
let things come to him."7
The Cardinals went to
Caracter often during the
game-turning 16- 1 run midway through the second half.
Louisville led by as much as
15 before the Red Storm
whittled it to 41-34 with just
ovet 13 minutes to plJy.
Caracter then went to
work, scoring eight p oints
over the next five minutes to
lead the Cardinals to their
sixth win in seven games. ·
" He played hard ," said
Louis ville ~uard Andre
M c Gee of C aracter. "He's
such a great talent, it's up to
him whether he w ants to
have a good game or not.
There 's few people in the
country who can stop him .
He 's so strong."
Terrence Williams flirted
with his third triple -double of
the season wi th eight points,
eight re bo unds a nd eigh t
assists and Jerry Smith added
15 points for the Cardinals,
who held St. John 's to 32
percent shooting while sending the Red Storm to their
fifth straight loss.
Anthony Mason Jr. led St.
John' s, tying a career high
with 29 points, but received
little help from his teammates. Mason Jr. made 10-of21 fleld goais, including 7of- 11 3-pointers while the
rest of the team went just 7of-32 from the field.
"We missed a lot of open
shots," said St. John 's coach
Norm Roberts. "We've got to .
make those shots . We've got
to step up and make shots
and m ake plays and we ' ve
got to have other guys step
up."
Mason Jr. kept the Red
Storm in it until m idway
through the second haH,
beating whatever defeni.er
the Cardinals threw his 'way.
W hen he cooled off. h owever, none of his were able to
fill the void.
"It' s frustrating," said
Mason Jr., whose seven 3p ointers were the secondmost in school history. "I~ e
got to keep my head. Irl

AFC title game.

The sight of the boot caused a
m<\jor stir and concern among
Patriots fans and bolstered
Giants fans hopes for an upset.
But even after he returned to
Foxhorough two days later,
there were no quick answers
about the ''boot" because Brady
was nowhere to be found when
reporters went looking for him
in the locker room and at practicc.
Whatever. The dapper, dimpic-chinned quarterback ccrtainly looked tine Sunday.
"1 mean how good docs it
feel for me to sec him walking
arm1nd? I really don't care how
he's walking around," linebacker Tcdy Bruschi said.
..He'll be walking around tine

Coach Bill Belichick, who
spoke before Brady, was typi-
heading up the steps of a town
house to see his girlfriend,
flowers in hand.
"I was just trying to get into
the house as fast as I could,"
Brady said. "I was trying to
hobble along. It kind of caught
me off guard."
Later that day and on
Tuesday, he wasn't wearing the
boot when photographed.
" It's just part of the world
we're living: in," he said.
"Those places · 1 went for

Belichick said with a smirk.
"And, I look forward to it, too."
When Brady was asked, he
grinned and said, "How's the
ankle? What did coach say'!"
The reporter responded
with: "He said ask you."
Brady laughed and shook
his head.
"Did he?" he said. "Wow,
that's ditfcrcnt."
Brady, wearing a navy, pinstriped suit and sweater vest,
his white shirt open at the colla:r, smiled throughout the news
conference and was in a playful
mood. Asked about the ankle
once again. he interrupted the
reporter and said. "Last question of the week."
THE ankle has been the subject of endless rumors and gossip since THE quarterback was
caught on camera last week
warning: "Don't any of you
chase me around. I won't be
nearly as nice as I was lasl
week."
While Brady appeared comfortable and at ease at the podium, Belichick was his usual
gruff, monotone self- except
when he talked glowingly
about Brady, Bruschi., the
Giants and the scheduled halftime performer, Tom Petty.
"I think it's great," he said
of Petty, with a half-smile. "I
wish I could stand out there and
listen to it, but I'll have some of
his CDs playing in my office
this week. That'll put me in the
mood: "Free Fallin'."
Belichick made no revelations -- surptise! -- during the
more than 20 minutes, but
insisted he doesn 't despise
dealing with the media each
day during the week leading up
to th~ big game.
"Not at all," he said. "I think
you have a joh to do and you
are our connection between our
foothall team, our fans. and the
people who have an interest in
the game. I respect the job that
you do and hope that you
respect Lhe job I do."
It's hard not to, especially
considering
his
winning
resume. Bclichtck has a chance
to join Pittsburgh's Chuck Noll
as the only coaches to win four
Super Bowl titles. The outside
distractions that come with
playing in the big game are a
welcomed
nuisance
for
Bclichick.
" It 's the trip you want to be

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
Advertisers are banking more
than ever on Super Bowl as
writers' strike fells hit TV shows
by SETH SUTEL
AP
BUSINESS WRITER
NEW YORK - The story
lines are unabashedly goofy.
Cavemen invent the wheel to
transport a beer cooler made of
stone, and a car buyer enlists the
help of a tribal warrior in case he
needs some extra negotiating
leverage at the dealership.
F9r most of us, Super Bowl
ads make fine entertainment. But
for the advertisers who make and
buy them, Sunday is whiteknuckle time.
The blogging boom has created crowds of armchair critics; the
price for a 30-second spot is up
again, to $2.7 million; and a writers strike has wiped out many
other opportunities to reach mass
audiences by putting scripted
dramas
like
"Desperate
Housewives" on hold.
Even against odds like these,
many major marketing powers
and even a. few first-timers
couJCln't resist the opportunity of
reaching more than 90 million
people in a single shot - something that's increasingly hard to
do in any medium.
Advertisers still love the
Internet for its ability to deliver
measured results from clickthroughs and carve audiences
into tiny segments. But only the
largest of television's "events" such as the Super Bowl, the
Olympics, the Oscars and the
Grammys - have the muscle to
pull in tens of millions of people
in real time.
"There are so few media vehicles out there that reach that size
audience that there's still a big
value in not only reaching so
many people but in such an
engaging manner," said Andy
Donchin, director of national
broadcast at Carat, a major buyer
and planner of advertising.
Add the extra buzz created by
the possibility of the New
England Patriots making history
with an undefeated season, and
advertisers have a Jot on the line.
The placement is great if they
hi:{Ve a winning ad, not so great if
the ad tanks. Last year's viewership Qf 93.2 million was close to
the all-time record of 94.1 million set -in 1996, and many
believe that record could be surpassed this year.
The results from online
acjvertising often confirm the
value of hitting big audiences
with TV, Donchin said, because
advertisers can measure the
upswing in traffic to Web sites
after an ad is broadcast.
The Super Bowl continues to
draw new advertisers, including
Planters packaged nut company,
p~t of Kraft Foods Inc., as well
as <:ars.com, an online auto classifi~a advertising · company coo\fl'l~d by the newspaper publi~s Gannett Co., McClatchy
Co., Tribune Co., Washington
Post Co. and Belo Corp.
No neophyte in the advertising world, Kraft decided a Super
Bowl spot was well worth the
money last year as it began rcposi(joning Planters beyond the $3
billlon packaged nuts business to
c~mpete in the $20 billion mark~t 'Of salted snacks, which
ine udes potato chips, pretzels
and popcorn.
Those attract fairly different
age and gender groups, says
Allan Lindsay, senior director of
marketing for salty snacks at
Kraft. Nuts tend to be bought by
adults 45 and older, while salty
snacks tend to be bought by people ages 35-55, and men more
than women - just the kind of
people who watch the Super
Bowl. ·
"If we really wanted to accelerate our growth, we needed to
think bigger," Lindsay said. "We
wanted the big platform to get
our message out there ... and it's
a natural venue to do that."
Lindsay, like many other
advertisers, offered hints about
his ad, but not the full story line.
It will feature men being
"drawn" to Planters' nuts, he
said . .
Tire maker Bridgestone
Firestone North America, another first-timer, is jumping in with
two spot and spon orship of the
halftime show. One ad features a
car accelerating toward Richard
Simmons as he dances on a road
at night. In the other, a woman
screams as the car she's riding in
approaches a squirrel nibbling on
an acorn.
Other big advertisers are venturing back to the' Super Bowl
after long absences. Audi, a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG, is
corning back to the game after
nearly 20 years, with a
Godfather-themed spot. And
Coca-Cola Co., whose main
brand wa back in the game last
year for the first time since 1998,
will have three or four spots this
year.
Katie Bayne, chief marketing
officer for Coca-Cola Co. in
North America. declined to
divulge details but <;aid the company is currently testing II ads
with viewers and will pick a winner to run on game day - a strategy that's also used by AnheuserBusch Inc., traditionally the
biggest advertiser in the game.
Bayne said Coke viewed TV
events like the Super Bowl, big
NASCAR races and the NCAA
college basketball tournament as
"critical" for getting the company's marketing message out.
Another theme cropping up
again this year i amateur talent.
The NFL itself ran a contest
among fans last year to come up
with ad ideas, and this year
solicited league players to pitch
ideas for a spot based on how
they got into the sport. Likewise
Doritos, which charmed viewers
last year with spots made by
amateur filmmakers. is running a
contest where undiscovered
m:.~sicians submit video performance of original songs. And
Pepsico used its own employees
in its Super Bowl ad.
Ratings from the game, being
broadcast from Phoenix , are ~ ure
to boost News Corp.'s Fox network, which is already wellpositioned thanks to football and
"American Jdol ," a ratings powerhouse unaffected by the writers
strike because it's not scripted.
Fox is getting as much as $2.7
million for a 30-second a spot, up
from the $2.6 million CBS
Corp.'s CBS network got last
year.

a snowman
One of my co-workers told me that
as he drove his seven-year-old son to
school the other morning, the youngster asked the following question:
"Dad, did you ever make a snowman?"
Such a simple, seemingly innocent
question from
a kid to his
father,
yet
loaded with
1rony,
because in the
seven years
the youngster
had
been
here, he had
never seen a
big
snow
enough for
him to make
Clyde Pack
one himself.
The
only
snowman with which he was familiar,
were the ones he'd seen on TV.
• Now, I'll admit that whether this
has anything whatsoever to do with all
this global warming stuff is questionable. But I'll guarantee that by the
time I was seven years old and living
in eastern Kentucky, and even though
my mother kept me inside as much as
she could, I had made many snowmen.
IThe boy's curiosity just underscores what I, and many others my
age, have been saying for years. We
just don't have the kinds of winters we
used to have. Oh, it does turn a bit
cold once in a while, with a couple of
days of single digit temperatures, but
even my failing memory can recall
~eks at a time of genuine winter

Too good not to share ...
A man was
sleeping one
night in his
cabin when
suddenly his
room filled
with
light,
and
God
appeared. The
Lord told the
man he had
work for him
to do, and
showed him a
large rock in
Little Frasure
front of his
cabin. The Lord explained that the
man was to Push against the rock with
all his might.
So, this the man did, day after day.
For many years he toiled from sunup
to sundown, his shoulders set squarely
against the cold, massive surface of
the unmoving rock, pushing with all
his might.
Each night the man returned to his
cabin sore and worn out, feeling that
his whole day had been spent in vain.
Since the man was showing discour•ment, the Adversary (Satan) decided'' to enter the picture by placing
thoughts into the man's weary mind
(he will do it every time).
"You have been pushing against
that rock for a long time and it hasn't
moved," Satan said.
Thus, he gave the man the impression that the task was impossible and
that he was a failure. These thoughts
discouraged and disheartened the
man.
Satan said, "Why kill yourself over
this? Just put in your time, giving just
the minimum effort; and that will be
good enough."

Nationwide program comes
to Prater Creek Baptist
by KATHY J. PRATER
FEATURES EDITOR
With prices at the grocery checkout rising ever higher, it seems to
almost take a miracle to feed a fa.mily these days. Many found that
"miracle" this past weekend at
Prater Creek Baptist Church in the
form of the Angel Food Ministries
program.
Through a partnership with
Angel Food Ministries, a nationwide
food distribution program, Prater
Creek Baptist's Pastor J.B. Hall says
that the program is a perfect fit for
his church's " Hands of Hope
Ministries" program.
"Hands of Hope is our basic
needs ministry," Hall said. "Through
Hands of Hope, we strive to deliver
tangible assets to those in need to
help. with their daily basic
needs ... with a larger goal to help
people eventually to become indepeudent."
One of the best things about the
Angel Food Ministries program,
Hall said, is that it is not a giveaway
program. "No one here today is
being 'given' anything," he said,
"they're simply here to pick up the
food they've already paid for."
The Angel Food Ministry program can be currently found in 34
states across the nation and over
3,200 communities. It helps feed
over 500,000 families a month
through the offering of "restaurant
grade" foods at a substantial savings
to individuals and families wishing
to participate. For the small cost of
$30; participants can receive groceries valued at approximately $70.
There are no applications to fill out
or guidelines to meet in order to participate. "What's offered is available
to anyone," said Pauline Barnette,
who along with husband Roger
helps direct the Hands of Hope program at Prater Creek Baptist. "We
don't care what your circumstances
are, we don't have a need to know
that," she said. "The way we see it,
everybody can beneftt by saving
money ()n groceries."
Those participating this past
Saturday in the program received a
variety of meats, vegetables, frozen
food items, bagged apples, canned
foods and pudding packets for their
$30. Additionally, "specialty" food
boxes containing steaks, chicken
and pork were also available, at a
reduced cost, to those who wished to
purchase them. Specialty food boxes
range from about $18 to $20 and
contain enough meal to prepm-e several meals. In order to purchase one
or more specialty food boxes, a regular food box must first be pur
chased.
Among the individual families
participating this past weekend were

A bit about goats
by KATHY PRATER
FEATURES EDITOR
Goats are herbivorous (plant-eating) mammals with hoofed feet.
Goats have beards and pointed black
horns. A "nanny" or "doe" is a
female goat; a "buck" or "billy" is a
male. Young goats, regardless of
whether they are male or female, are
referred to as "kids," a term that
humans have picked up to refer to
their own offspring!
In the wild, goats can live anywhere from 9 to 12 years. They are
most comfortable in groups, which
are known as "tribes." Goats enjoy
spending their days grazing on
grasses, herbs, tree leaves, ~nd other
plants. They are also what 1s known
as "ruminants," meaning that they
possess the ability to chew cud to
aid in digestion.
Goats are naturally very curious,
intelligent, extroverted, flamboyant,
and playful. For kids. play is a very
important aspect of their young li vcs
because it helps them to develop
skills they will need later in life. For
example, University of Colorado
animal play expert Marc Bekoff
notes that some types of play help
develop the mental and physical
flexibility· needed to respond to
unexpected events such as pursuit
by a predator. Some of the activities
enjoyed by kids include galloping,
jumping vertically into the air, leaping on their mother's backs, tossing
their heads about, and whirling

thanks to the efforts of four dedicated adults, Bessie Mae lived >to •

That's what the weary man planned to do,
but decided to make it a matter of Prayer and to
take his troubled thoughts to the Lord.
"Lord," he said, "I have labored long 'and
hard in Your Service, putting all my strength to
do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this
time, I have not even budged that rock by half
a millimeter. What is wrong? Why am I ;f-Qjling?"
..:~ .... .l
The Lord responded compassionately, ' 1My
friend, when I asked you to serve Me and·J'9U
accepted, I told you that your task was to nosh
against the rock with all of your strength,
which you have done. Never once did I 1)1eption to you that J expected you to move it. ):'opr
task was to push. And now you come to ,M.e
with your strength spent, thinking that ' you
have failed. But is that really so? Look at yQuiself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your
back shiny and brown; your hands are callused
from constant pressure, your legs have beGQme
massive and hard. Through opposition you
have grown much, and your abilities now-surpass that which you used to have. True, yot
haven't moved the rock. But your callingr Wfl!
to be Obedient and to push and to exerciseJ~OUl
Faith and,trust in My Wisdom. That you :haft
done. Now I, my friend, will move the ra¢k."
At times, when we hear a word from Gdd
we tend to use our own intellect to deciphe
what He wants, when actually what God w~t.
is just simple obedience and faith in Him. ·B~
all means, exercise the Faith that moves moun
tains, but know that it is still God who mQv.e

the family of a Johnson
County man who was killed

operating was slammed
into by an 80,000-pound
commercial truck.
According to a press
release from Kirk Law
Firm, Rosalee Rigsby, on
behalf of Seth and Aaron
Rigsby, the sons of the
deceased, filed a lawsuit
this week against George
Hami~ton, the driver of
commercial tractor-trailer,

one

Stacy
Quesenberry, 28, of Louisa,

Discrimination alleged
in Magoffin schools
by JACK LATTA
STAFF WRITER
PIKEVILLE - A history of sex discrimination
was the complaint leveled
against Magoffin County
Schools last week by three
Eastern Kentucky women
who filed a lawsuit after
they say they were continually passed over for promotions.
According to the complaint,
Jill
Howard,
Kimberly Patrick and
Bernadette Carpenter have
each and as a whole been
passed over for employment opportunities by both
the Mag6ffin County Board
of Education and its superintendent, Joe Hunley.
"This certainly could
have been resolved at the
Employment
[Equal
Opportunity Commission]
level,"
said
JoEllen
McComb, an attorney for
the plaintiffs. "We never
got any feedback from the
board."
Howard, who is currently serving as director of
curriculum and instruction
for
Magoffin
County
schools, also worked as a
teacher for three years, and
a principal for six.
Kimberly Patrick is acting director of fi nance, and
before that had been a
teacher for three years and a
principal of an elementary
school for seven.

I recommend issuing bonds to replace

deteriorating alarmingly, and will soon be

our greatest challenges.

But our incarceration rate has increased
by 600 percent in the same timeframe.
In 1970. Kentucky had 2.838 ~tate prisoners. As of last week, the &tate's inmate

By the end of the upcoming biennium,

Therefore. 1 recommend the expansion

Elliott County to accommodate that need.
The rest of the justice sy~tem will experience budget reductions.
However, because or their vital role in
the protection or the public, I recommend
smaller reductions !o these areas of government than many other areas.
TRANSPORTATION
Unfortunately, our road fi.md is not.much

next two years.
We do have some reve nue groVI(lh predicted, primarily due to the increasing cost
of gasoline.
The good news for local governments is
that the revenue-sh<uing program will see

The bad news for state government is
that almost all of the revenue growth predicted is already obligated to numerous

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Refocusing Kentucky's economic development strategies and practices is of the
utmost priority.
When our Economic Development
Cabinet was created in the 1990s, it was
given the task of creating a statewide economic development strate:,'Y.
However. over the years that stnttegy

development efforts, and as chair of the

it a new focus on the entire state and on
twenty-first een Lury jobs.

In addition, in tight times more than
ever. Kentuckians deserve to know how
state dollars are spent on economic development deals.
I have instructed the Cabinet to make all
such incentive agreements available through
a searchable database.
Finally. an immediate and major new
economic development opportunity arises
out of the federal government's decision to
change and expand the mission of the Fort
Knox military facility.
This effort will result in the
Commonwealth becoming the beneliciary
of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal
investment as well as thousands of johs.
Our response will likely require state
investments in roads. schools. and other
infrastructure.
But the return is enormous - in tax dollars. ~pending power. high salaried twentyfirst century job~. construction benefits and

To be prep;u·ed to address these critical

And. as T have already mentioned, we
must conccntrnte on the pressing needs for
adequate water and sewer infrastructure in
our coal counties. Therefore. I am recommending a $50 million bond pool to address
these needs.
• Another area we must address is our
public pension systems. They have large
unfunded liabilities.
This problem did not appear overnight,
and Kentucky cannot and will not solve it
overnight- particularly through some large
infusion of cash. Again, right now, there is
no cash!
What we can do now is address the
increasing costs. These programs arc not
sustainable at current levels.
Therefore, I will offer a specific proposal on pension reform in the coming weeks

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
_Budget
• Continued from p1
722,000 Medicaid recipients
would be cut from the rolls.
But the governor said
changes are needed to make
the system more cost efficient.
Beshear proposed $53 million in extra spending for the
prison system over the next
two years. a big ticket item
. reflecting a projected opercent
growth in the state's prison
population over that period.
Currently, the state's prison
population totals more than
22,000 inmates, and Beshear
estimated there would be an
influx of about 6 percent over
the next two years.
State employees would get
2 percent pay raises in each of
Director
• Continued from p1
''Since I arrived at ·Perkins,
I have seen how the center
plays a vital role in training
Eastern Kentucky's young
adults,'' Rainey said. "So
many young men and women
have benefitted from this program.
Project
Manager .C.J.
Wurster, from the DESI
Corporate office in Phoenix,
Ariz., was on hand at the
Prestonsburg Center to make
the official announcement.
"We are confident in Mr.
Rainey's leadership ability and
look forward to continuing to
serve youth age 16-to-24
through the U.S. Department
of Labor Job Corps Program,"
Wurster said. ''We also look
forward to the continued support from the community of
Prestonsburg, and the commonwealth of Kentucky, as we
continue to operate the center
with Mr. Rainey as center
director."
The Carl D. Perkins Job
Corps Center has been located
in Prestonsburg and training
young adults for over 25 years.
DESI, Dynamic Education
Systems Inc., has been operating the Perkins Center for the
U.S. Department of Labor
since 1999.
For more information about
the Perkins Center, contact
Lisa M. Moore, business community liaison, at (606) 8861037 ,est.l27.
the next two years, an amount
totaling $60 million over the
biennium.
The state's constitutional
offices wouldn ' t 'be spared
from cuts. Beshear proposed
reductions of 12 percent in the
governor's office, secretary of
state and treasurer's offices.
The atforney general's office
was targeted for a 9.8 percent
reduction, and the agriculture
commissioner's office would
be uimmed by 8 percent. The
state aud1tor 's office would
also have less funding to operate.
Other cabinets would also
face cuts, but Beshear said his
administration was asking the
legislature for "Oexibility" so
agency heads could effectively
manage their areas amid tight
·
budget times.
Bob Vance, Environmental
and Public Protection Cabinet
secretary, said areas such as
mine safety should be "'taken
care of' even though his
agency would face cuts of
about 18 percent. The agency
would find ways to compensate, and would look to cut
personnel last.
"I think we're going to be
111 fair shape," Vance said.
Beshear proposed using
$ 189.8 million of the state's
budget reserve trust fund to
help finance state operations in
2010. That would leave about
$25 milfion in the "rainy day"
fund to deal with any emergencies, such as forest fires or
other natural disasters.
Rep . Harry Moberly, D
Richmond, the chairman of the
House Appropriations and
Revenue Committee, said
Beshear's budget would be a
starting point for lawmakers.
"This is the worst situation
that we've faced," Moberly
said. "1 think the governor has
done as good a job as he could
have done with the available
revenue and the time that he's
had to spend on this."
Still, Beshear's budget wasn't all gloom.
He proposed the legislature
reinstate more than $165 mil-
lion in various projects the legislature approved two years
ago but were vetoed by former
Gov. Ernie Fletcher.
Such projects include $6
million for a polar bear exhibit at the Louis vi lie Zoo, $17.5
million for renovations to
Kentucky River locks and
dams and $13.5 million for a
livestock disease diagnostic
center at the University of
Kentucky. Beshear also proposed reinstating a $14 million
technology center at the community college in Owensqoro,
$5.3 million for a dairy
research farm at Eastern
Kentucky University and $9
million for a renovation at
Western Kentucky University.
The p lan also calls for new
projects, such as $9 million for
runway improvements at Blue
Grass Airport in Lexington
and $39 million for an expansion of the Little Sandy
Correctional Complex in
Elliott County. It calls for
$ 100 million in various road
and infrastructure projects
around Fort Knox, which is
preparing to accommodate an
influx of soldiers and civilian
personnel due to base realignment. The plan proposes $10.3
million for roads around the
Kentucky Horse Park leading
up to the 20 I 0 World
in
Games
Equestrian
Lexington .
Public universities would
also be given authority to sell
hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of bonds to finance various campus improvement
projects. It would be up to
each individual university's
discretion on whether to proceed with such plans, Beshear
said.
"We are in tough times, and
just like Kentucky families
who find themselves in a similar situation, we must tighten
our belts and balance our
checkbook," Beshear said.
"But. my friends, if we work
together we arc going to come
out of this in much better
shape than we were before."

• Continued from p1
traveling downhill , he was
operating his vehicle in a reckless, dangerous, wanton and
willful fashion without proper
concern for others upon the
roadway," John Kirk said in a
released statement.
Kirk says that a reconstruction expert estimates that
Hamilton 's
tractor-trailer,
which was hauling approximately 60,000 pounds of magnetite, was traveling 85 miles
an hour when he applied the
brakes, causing the vehicle to
skid. According to Kir~. the
impact between the tractortrailer and the other vehicle
was "so violent that Mr.
Rigsby was literally 'obliterated."'
A
Kentucky
Vehicle
Enforcement officer cited
Hamilton after the accident
because his duty log was not
current and he was not in possession of his 7 days prior driver record.
According to KVE Lt. ·
Kevin Henry, "over-the-road
drivers who travel 100 air
miles have to keep a log book
current to their last duty station."
"Drivers are required to
carry previous record so we
can calculate how many hours
they have worked in a week,"
said Henry, who added that
these measures are in place to
prevent dtiver fatigue.
The lawsuit alleges that at
the time of the accident,
Hamilton was traveling excessively fast, and was operating
the vehicle in a sleep-deprived
state.
The lawsuit seeks $10 million in "punitive damages" on
the alleged basis that the
"defendants' actions were
willful and wanton and done
with a disregard for the rights
and welfare of others and
because defendants' said willful actions were the proximate
cause of the death crash," Kirk
said.
Additional civil complaints
have reportedly been filed
against Akers Magneti te and
George Hamilton by attorney
Eldred "Bud" Adams on
behalf of the family of Stacy
Quesenberry, and by attorney
Keith Bartley 6n behalf of a
third passenger in the vehicle.
Calls to Akers Magnetite
were
not
immediately
returned.

• Bears climb seven spots to No. 10 in national
TIMES STAFF REPORT
PIKEVILLE - Pikeville College's road to the
top of the Mid-South Conference stanclings has
a couple of fierce road blocks this week as the
Bear play teams ranked second and 15th in the
country.
But those opponents, Georgetown College
and Campbellsville University, respectively, are
no doubt thinking the same thing after this
week's NAJA Div. I poll saw the Bears leap
seven spots to No. 10.
The lofty position in the polls is Pikeville's
first time in the Top 10 since the poll datedJan.
21, 2003, some five years and nine days ago. In
their next game, Jan. 25, the Bears lost to No. 11
Mountain State 100-91 and fell out of the Top 10
after spencling three straight weeks there.
"We're in a good position right now," said
Coach Kelly Wells. "But now we have to go out
and show we deserve it. We' ll get every opportunity to do just that this week."
On Thursday night at 8 p.m., two of the four
longest win streaks in the country were on the
table as Pikeville took a 14-game streak to
Georgetown, holders of the NAIA Div. I's
longest win streak at 11 -0. The game ended too
late to make this eclition.
At 4 p.m. Saturday, the Bears will come
home to play Campbellsville, ranked 15th in
this, its first week outside the Top I 0 since being
11th in the preseason poll released Oct. 31.
By the numbers the Bears are deserving of a
spot amongst the leaders in the ratings. The
Bears are in the national Top 10 in 13 clifferent
team categories, including steals per game
where they average 15.19 per game. In individual stats, the Bears have nine players in the Top
20. Junior Xavier Yates leads the country in
steals, averaging 3.86 per game.
Mountain State University in Beckley,
W.Va., is still atop the poll and this week picked
up all 11 first-place votes for the first time this
season. Georgetown is followed by Concordia
(Calif.) University, Lee University (the other
unbeaten team at 18-0) and LSU-Shreveport,
which suffered its first loss of the season last
week.
The second five are Robert Morris (Ill.),
Oklahoma City, Westminster (Utah), Lambuth
(Tenn.) and Pikeville.
1\vo other MSC teams are getting votes in
this week's poll, and they will be Pikeville's foes
next week. Cumberlands is getting six points in
the poll while Lindsey Wilson is taking one.
They are among the 20 teams getting votes outside the Top 25 this week.
ILady Eagles defeat
UVA--Wise
Sports fans have
many choices
this time of year
TIME$ STAFF REPORT
by RICK BENTLEY
TIMES COLUMNIST
It's a great time to be a sports
fan. It seems there's something
for everybody right now; you'd
have to have pretty eclectic taste
to not have something going on
you enjoy.
The All "A" Classic has lost
much of its luster, but it's still a
statewide tournament not dominated by the big-city schools, so
it's got that going for it. Locally,
the All "A" used to feature all but
about four or five schools. Now it
barely has more than that, as consolidation has done a number on
the field.
Statewide,
many
people
bemoan the event because some
of the "bigger" schools are in it
now. That's something of a misnomer, but a point well taken. The
governing body of the All "A"
simply hasn' t adjusted its enrollment-based criterion of 425.
Many schools who qualify play
Double-A in football, because of
the way the KHSAA breaks down
its classification.
Instead of a minimum number,
the KHSAA takes the number of
schools playing football and
divides it by the number of classes. As a result, schools playing a
higher class of football often have
fewer than 425 students.
Is it the fault of the schools?
Certainly not. But it does take
away some of the quaintness of
the event.
This week, we have three
teams locally for which to cheer.
Shelby Valley, of course, played
in the girls' draw on Wednesday
night. It's not clifficult to argue
that Rodney Rowe is a winner,
and he's taken his magic back to
the fem ale side. He won the
regional without the player many
considered his most talented. The
experience they' ve gotten through
this process will certainly pay off
down the road.
Paintsville's Tigers won a douthriller
over

advance
to

Richmond. This is <;ertainly not
Bill Mike Runyon's first rodeo.
For years his team was among the
favorites to win the event; that
never happened, but in 1996 he
did win the Sweet 16, so I'd guess
he 's ok with it all.

And then there's Kentucky,
who is finally playing a little

healthy, it appears the cupboard
wasn't all that bare after all.
Of course, if basketball isn't
your game, there's still a lot out
there for yow· liking.
Sunday is the Super Bowl,
and while many of us were
hoping to see Brett Favre gel
one. more chance at a ring, it
still should be a !,rreat game.
Only four wceh ago the Giants
played the Pats to the bitter end
as Eli Manning threw four
touchdown passes.
Contrary to what you're
hearing and reading everywhere, Eli isn't.having a great
postc;cason. rm sony. but four
touchdowns in three games just
is not fantastic. But what he is
doing is eliminating turnovers.
Says here there's . liLLie difference in the job Eli's doing and
the one Trent Diller did a few
years ago for Baltimore when
"experts" the world over said
he ,,,.as doing a nice job of managing the game but not playing
spectacular.
The same could be said for
Eli. Of course, you must
remember one other thing Diller led the Ravens to the
Super Bowl title. Perhaps Eli
isn't done thrilling us yet.
I'm not sure who will win something keeps telling me to
not discount the Giants just yet
- but either way it'll be one to
remember.
Baseball has had a busy ofl'sea<>on and it figures to keep
right on rolling with congress

Clemens thing shakes out, but
with rumors going around that ,_

basketball history, lost on its rival's
homecourt for the first time since
1983. The 24-game streak in an opponent's gym came up one short or tying
the NCAA Division 1 record, which
UCLA set against California from
1961-85.
"We weren't going to run the
table," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
"As much as I wish we could, that
wao;n't going to happen. So thi-s could
be a good thing for us in the long run.
But certainly it stings.''
Kansac; State freshman guard Jacob
Pullen had 20 points and freshman
forward Bill Walker had 22, making
sure that Beasley, who had guaranteed
a Kansas State victory, did not have to
eat his words.
"1 knew my team wao;; capable of
beating anybody." Beasley said. "And
we showed it tonight."
Always double and sometimes
triple-teamed when he touched the
hall in~idc, Beasley was held to only
eight points in the first hair but scored
six in a row in the first few minutes
after intermission and Kansas (20 1,
5-l Big 12) never caught up.
Beasley was 4 for 4 from behind
the 3-point arc as the Wildcats ( 15-4,
5-0) took over first place in a Big 12
conference they've never even competed in, let alone won.
"Tt doesn't sting because or the
streak," Self said. "lt stings because
it's our rival. I wuid care less about
the sa·eak. But 1 do care about heating
our rivals. So, yeah. this one stings
more than what most would sting."
Chris Douglas Roberts scored 30
points and Joey Dorsey grabbed a 22
rehouqds, matching a career high, as
Memphis equaled the best stan in
school history.
Robert Dozier scored 17 of his 21
points in the second half and the
Tigers (20-0, 6 0 Conference USA)
overcame a season-)1igh 22 turnovers
to extend their regular-season winning
streak to 39 games. Memphis matched
its best start since 19&5-86 and won its
15th consecutive road game.
The Tigers countered their turnover
total by shooting 58.5 percent, outrebounding the smaller Cougars 49-29
and scoring 44 points in the paint.
"We turned it over a rew too many
times, but we played well,'' Calipari
said. "What you saw was one or our
hcst efforts."
Dion Dowell scored 23 points and
Robert McKivcr scored 20 for the
Cougars (15-4, 4 1), who dropped to
2-10 all-time against the No. I team.
Houston coach Tom Penders \Vas also
denied his 600th career victory.
Penders was more resigned than
disappointed afterward, conceding the
Cougars were simply overmatched.
"They're just a k,'Teat team,"
Penders said. "You're going to have
to play an extremely strqng. efficient
game, and hope they're not playing at
their highe~t level, to knock them
off:'

rim on a 3-point attempt,
HARTFORD, Conn.
Playing for the second time in
three days without two key
players, Connecticut coach
Jim Calhoun implored his
remaining Huskies to find
ways to rest on the court.
For this game, he said, it
was OK to put hands on knees
during foul shots or relax for a
moment in a zone defense.
A.J. Price scored 20 points
and Connecticut found enough
in the tank to hold orr
Louisville, 69-67.
"We were trying to coach
them every way possible to try
and have them conserve a~
much energy as we can."
Calhoun said. ''I didn't know
who could play five minutes at
the five minute mark."
The win is the fourth in a
row for the Huskies (15-5, 53) and snaps the Cardinals'
three-game winning su·cak.
Juan Palacios, who missed
a 3-pointcr that would have
won the game, led Lomsville
(15-6, 5-3) with 16. But he
was just 3-of-9 from behind
the arc, and Terrence Williams
hit just 2-of-eight. The
Cardinals hit just 11 of 33
attempts as a team.
"We had a lot of shots that
were right there, and if you
can' t make this 3-point shot in
college, y.ou' re in trouble,"
coach Rick Pitino said.
Stanley Robinson had 16
points and 10 rebounds for
UConn and Jeff Adrien also
had a double-double, with 12
points and 10 boards.
The Huskies were playing
their fourth game in eight
days, and their second straight
without leading scorer Jerome
Dyson and guard Doug
Wiggins. The two 20-ycar-old
sophomores were suspended
indefinitely rrom the team
Friday after campus police
ticketed them ror having alcohol.
With the shortened bench,
four UConn starters played
over 30 minutes, and the
Huskies seemed to run low on
gas midway through the second half.
Trailing
58-48,
the
Cardinals went 13-3 run, and
Terrence Williams lied the
Ef!IDe at 61, hitting a 3 from
the right baseline.
ButA.J. Piicc hit two shots,
including a wild runner in the
lane. and an a.lly-oop dunk
from
7-foot-3
Hasheem
Thabcct with 2:061cft gave the
Huskies a 67-63 lead.
After David Padgett hit a
free throw, Craig Austrie was
fouled by Preston Knowles
and hit both foul shots for
UConn.
A 3-pointer by Jcny Smirh
with 36 seconds left pulled
Louisville within two.
The Cardinals then tied up
Austrie in the frontcourt with
23 seconds left, gtvmg
Louisville the linal possession.
But Palacios· shot from the top
of the key missed badly and
Thahcct tipped rhc hall away
as time ran out.
Robinson, who played 36
minutes, said he y.'as cramping
up for much of the second half,
even though the Huskies had
switched J'rbm their trademark
man-to-man defense to a 2-3
~.one for much or the game.
"When it came to the ·point
where 1 couldn't walk on the
court, l had to gel a minute (on
the bench),'' Robinson said.
Louisville, which has held
11 opponents under 40 percent
shooting, kept Connecticut
scoreless for more than four
minutes to start the game, and
was up 10-2 early. But the
Huskies responded with an 8-0
run.
The teams went into halftime tied at 30.
In the second half, the
Huskies led 41 40, before
going on a 17-8 spurt. The run
was sparked by a 3-point play
on a fast break that saw
Thahcct out-jump 6-9 Derrick
Caracter and throw the ball in
the basket despite a hard foul.
'We work too hard not to
win games," Thabect said.
"We're going to keep working
hard and make sure we win the
games that are winnable."
Calhoun said he has not
decided the fate of Wiggins
and Dyson, but would have
more

THE FLOYD CouNTY TIMES
Brady belie\ves
by BARRY WILNER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENTX - 23-17.
Just 17 points for the potent
Pntriots.
A certain MVP quarterback thinks
that's a Super sized diss.
Tom Brady scoffed when told
Wednesday that New York Giants
receiver Plaxico Burress guaranteed
New York 'hili beat Brady's undefeated New England team in Sunday's
Super Bowl.
"We're only going Lo score 17
points?" Brady said before chuckling
about it. "OK. Is Plax playing
defense? 1 wish he had said 45-42 and
gave us a little credit for scoring more
points."
Considering the Patriots set an
NFL record by scming 589 points,
Brady's 50 touchdown passes were the
most ever for one sea">on, and Randy
Moss broke Jerry Rice's mark with 23
TD catches, Burress might have been
a hit chintzy.
The last time the Patriots played
the GianLs, in the season finale, New
England rallied from 12 points down
in the third quarter to win 38-35. The
Patriot<; have not scored fewer than 20
points in their 18 victories, and the last
time they put up only 17 was Dec. 10,
2006 - a 21-0 loss at Miruni in their
la;;t regular-season defeat.
Even if the Giants' defense per-
•
Ill
his team's high-scoring offensive ways
forms at iL<; peak, it\ still doubtful
New England will score only 17
points.
"1 know they have confidence.
They should have confidence," Brady
said. "They are the NFC champions.
"I learned a lesson early in my
career: No maUer what you say during
the week - and God knows we say a
lot this week - we're going to be
focused on going out and winning this
game. We're confident, but I don't
think we share our thoughts with
everybody."
Burress did. And when he showed
up 33 minutes late for the Giants'
media session Wednesday morning,
there was speculation the wide rGCciver was trying to avoid the spotlight.
Turns out Burress wa<> spending
time with his l-year-old son and family at breakfast, claiming he was
unaware so many people wanted to
interrogate him about his prediction.
Nor was he aware, he said, that a
hefty line comes with missing a Super
Bowl week media session.
"T don't understand what Lhe fuss is
about," Burress said, surrounded by at
I
.
least as many TV cameras, illlcrophoncs and notcpads a<; Brady was
two hours earlier. "Nobody wants to
lose.
"All this is entertainment," added
Burress, who was held out of practice
Wednesday because of an ankle injury
that has plagued him all season. "It's
sports, and sports are entertainment.
So 23-17 is the prediction 1 made, hut
the game ~till ha<; to be played."
Told about Brady's reaction to that
score, Burress said he wasn't disre
specting anyone.
"''m not taking anything away
rrom what those guys accomplished,"
he said. "They set all the records you
could possibly imagme. They have a
great quarterback, the MVP, who
threw for a rewrd (50) touchdowns.
Randy set a TD record for catches.
They had two receivers with over 100
·
catches.
"The numbers don't he about what
they have done."
Nor do the numbers 23-17 lie about
what Burress thinks.
"Hey, look how much fun everybody is having with it," he said. "ll
makes national, international headlines. But the game still has to be
played."
Giants coach Tom Coughlin could
n't have been pleased with Burress,
but declined to say very much about
him.
"1 will speak with Plaxico in a private way, and that's where il will
remain," he said.
New England played two games
this season that were preceded by an
opposing
player' s
prediction.
PiLLc;burgh's Anthony Smith guaranteed a win in W~ek 13 at Fox borough;
Lhe Patriots routed the Sleelers 34-13.
And after Brady threw an early TD
pass over Smith, he verbally confronted the Stee1ers safety.
Dayc; before the AFC title game,
San Diego defensive end Igor
Olshansky said the Chargers were
unstoppable. New England stopped
them, 21-12.
''We don't make predictions. We
just let our play do Lhe talking," Brady
said matter-of-factly.
"Piaxico i:; a hell of a player. Tf he
feels that way, 1 think that's great. 1' d
hate for him to think he's going to lose
this game. it's obvious nobody docs."
Burress was entitled to h1s op1ruon,
Moss said. "but the only thing about a
prediction is that you have got to make
it happen."
"1 think the pressure is more on
them now. since they've guaranteed
this victory. We've prepared very hard
for the last week and a half, and we
still have got a couple more days to get
out there and tone some things up. But
making a prediction that you are going
to go out there and make it happen are
very tough words to back up."
Not that Burress is hacking down.
He's done his Joe Namath impersonation off the field, and now he has to

Bengals have Palmer brothers at quarterback Miners back at Expo for
by JOE KAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI Jordan
Palmer was packed for
Phoenix, ready to take his
career to the Arena Football
League, when he got a most
unusual offer.
The Cincinnati Bcngals
wanted to know if he would
like LO try lO earn a spol as his
brother's backup. They didn't
have to wail long for an
answer.
He signed a two-year deal
Wednesday that will give him a
chance to play behind his
brother, quarterback Carson
Palmer. Although brother
tandems have been common in
the NFL, it's rare that two of
them gel to throw passes lor
the same team.
"Someday we'll look back
and laugh about it and think it
wa~ pretty cool," Jordan said,
in a phone interview.
It's certainly unusual.
There have been dozens or
brother tandems on NFL
teams. Akin and Remi Ayodele
in Dallas, Chris and Nic
Clemons in Washington, Jake
Reed and Dale Carter in New
Orleans, Andre and Kevin
Dyson in Tennessee are recent
examples.
Having two brothers at
quarterback is rare. According
to the Elias Sports Bureau, no
brothers have played quarterback for the same team during
the Super Bowl era. Koy
Detmer was on injured reserve
for Philadelphia while his
brother, Ty, played for the
Eagles in 1997.
The Bcngals have had rwo
sets of brothers play at the
same time: Jim and Ross
Browner in 1979-80, and Ray
and Archie Griffin !'rom 197883.
So far, Carson Palmer has
had the more accomplished
career, winning the Reisman
Trophy at Southern California
before becoming the No. 1
overall pick in the 2003 dral't.
He led the Bengals to the playoils in 2005 before a severe
knee injury temporarily set
him back.
Jordan Palmer, five years
younger, set school records at
Texas-EI Paso by throwing for
11 ,084 yards and 88 touchdowns. Washington drafted
him in the sixth round last year,
and he played in one preseason
game before being waived
Sept. 1.
He stayed in ~hape and
hoped to get another chance in
the NFL. When that didn' t
come. he signed with the
Arizona Rattlers and was about
to head there when the Bengals
made their offer.
Cincinnati already has a No.

quarterback:
Ryan
Fitzpatrick, obtained from St.
Louis in a trade on Sept. l. The
third-string quarterback is Jeff
Rowe, a li fth-round pick from
Nevada last season.
Like other teams, the
Bcngals add a fourth quarterback for minicamps and training camp, giving them someone else to throw the ball during practice. lf Jordan Palmer
does well, he could win the No.
3 job or improve his chances or
going to another NFL team
instead of the Arena League.
··we both understand that
this is a job," Jordan Palmer
said. "We need to keep it very

on the side. My job is trying to

Q is for quinoa, a grain you aren't

Quinoa is an ancient grain high in amino

R is for radish. Not d1e common red
radishes we all grew up with, but black
radishes. They're much higger than the
red ones (about the size of a turnip) and
the flavor is just as pungent as a red
radish, hut the flesh a little drier. Great

T is for tomatillo. The lovely tomatillo
looks like a green tomato in its own brown

Hispanic cooks for their tart. distinctive
flavor. Green enchiladas and chile verde
are both made with tomatillos.
Upland cress is also known as watercress. Watercress is prized in Europe more

Vidalia onions arc sweet onions grown

PRESTONSBURG - A special
Floyd County Fiscal court meeting
Friday had to be called to order by
Judge-Executive R.D . "Doc" Marshall
after Magistrates John Goble and
Jackie Edford Owens would not cease
trading barbs at one another.
The war of words began as the treasurer's report was about to be voted on,
when Goble, of District 1, asked David
Layne, treasurer for the Fiscal court,
"Did we have $18 million?"
The tension in the room stemmed
from a Floyd County Times report that
Owens' wife and son, both employees
of the fiscal court, had survived the 60
percent workforce reductions ·made by
the court.
Owens responded with ads in both
The Floyd County Times and the Big
(See COUNTY, page three)

The battle lines were clearly drawn going into Friday's special meeting of the fiscal court. Following the meeting, the
mood changed to cordial, as magistrates acknowledged misunderstandings and errors had led to recent controversies.

Floyd County licensed drivers showed their support
f01 vtgaa donation in 2007
by once again being "above
average" in their donations
of an extra dollar to the
Kentucky Circuit Court
Clerks Trust for Life.
"This is a great program
set up to promote organ and
tissue donation," said
Douglas
Hall,
Floyd
County circuit clerk and
president of the Kentucky
Trust for Life.
According to the Trust
for Life, the Floyd Circuit
Court Clerk's Office collected the $1 donation from
75 percent of those obtaining a license last year. The
average
number
for
Kentucky 's 120 counties
was, by comparison, a mere
41.6 percent.
"Floyd County has been
very cooperative and generous in their donations."
Hall said.
"Doug Hall and his staff
should be very proud of
their efforts in collecting
the $ 1 donations and in
adding names to the donor
registry,"
said
Trust
D\rector
Executive
Berkeley Scott.
Kentucky Circuit Court
Clerks Association and the
state legislature created the
Trust for Life in 1992 in
order to fund the yearround education and promotion effort to encourage
organ and tissue donation in
Kentucky. Hall has been
president of the Trust for
two consecutive terms.
"That's a reflection of
the generosity of the county," Hal) said. "If our numbers weren't what they are,
I p robably wouldn't be
president."
In all, 1,525 county residents have put their names
on the donor registry since
May 15, when it was added
to the drivers license
process.
Hall said that Floyd
County is usually in the top
three in the state in donations. Hall also mentioned
that Magoffin County 's
donation percentage has
increased
considerably

Former trooper indicted for assault
The Associated Press
PIKEVILLE A Pike
County grand jury has indicted
a former Kentucky State Police
trooper accused of beating and
biting a West Virginia National
Guardsman.
Jared Alfrey, 28, of Belfry,
faces a second-degree assault
charge. Alfrey resigned in July,
soon after NE~tional Guardsman
Randall
McCoy,
of
Williamson, W.Va., accused the
trooper of driving him and his
girlfriend to an abandoned
mine in July and beating him
after arresting the couple on a
domestic violence call.
Alfrey, in the citations he
wrote, said McCoy asked to
move his handcuffs to the front
because of a back injury. While
the handcuffs were off, McCoy
grabbed the trooper before
being cuffed again, Alfrey
wrote.
Alfrey joined state police in
December 2005.
His phone line was disconnected and he could not be
reached for comment Friday. It
could not be immediately
determined if he had an attorney..

U.S. mine agency approves tracking system to locate miners
by DIBYA SARKAR
AP BUSINESS WRITER
~
WASHINGTON- Federal
mine-safety regulators on
Thursday said they approved
the first wireless-tracking ystem to locate miners trapped
underground.
The U.S. Mine Safety and
Health Administration said the
technology was developed by
Liberty Lake, Wash.-based
Venture Design Services Inc.,
a ubsidiary of Singaporebased Venture Corp. Ltd.
"Since the Sago Mine disaster, MSHA has received
dozens of proposals from manufacturer and distributors of
emergency communication
systems,"
and
tracking
Richard Stickler, acting assistant secretary of labor for mine
safety and health, said in a
press release. The Venture
Design system allows mine
operators to track miners
underground before and after
an emergency event, he said.
·. County- - •
Sandy News, blasting the
other magistrates for "spending like drunk sailors."
In the ad, Owens said that
the other three magistrates had
•~ squandered an $18 million ·
budget, as well as $500,000 in
money borrowed from the
bank.
According to the treasurer's
report, the county actually
spent little over $13 million$5 million under their budgeted amount.
"We can't spend money we
don't have," said Goble. "It's
like trying to get blood from a
turnip."
Layne said that a half-million-dollar
Kentucky
Advanced Revenue Program
was needed at the beginning of
the fiscal year in July, or ''You
would have been laying people
off then." The fiscal court
voted 3-to-1 to pay off the
KARP loan after discussion
ended. Owens was the lone
magistrate to vote against the
resolution.
Marshall said that the county had no other outstanding
loans and that only the bond
issues remain.
Also a source of controversy between the magistrates had
been a proposal made by
District 4 Magistrate Ronnie
Akers that, "due to the financial circumstances," he have
$5,000 dollars withheld from
his salary and donated to the
fiscal court District 3
Magistrate Donnie Daniels
and Goble both also agreed to
withhold $5000 each.
The magistrates were however notified by the county
attorney that because their
salaries are set at the beginning of their term, KRS
statutes forbid any changes be
made to those salaries until the
next elections. "Once it's
yours, you can donate it back
if you like," said Assistant
Stacy
County
Attorney
Marshall.
Owens had said in his ad
that he didn't believe the other
magistrates planned to "donate
one red cent" When asked,
Layne affirmed that $200 haq
been withheld from each
donating magistrate's paycheck, and that money would
have to be credited back to
them because of the Jaw.
Marshall made the motion
to rescind the resolution and
then waited patiently for a second. When a second was not
forthcoming, Marshall said,
''Gentlemen, we can't break
the law."
After Akers asked again if
they were in violation, he
offered a reluctant second. The
vote to rescind the resolution
featured Goble and Daniels
abstaining, Owens voting
against, and Akers voting for.
Judge Marshall cast the tiebreaking vote to rescind the
resolution.
Marshall had to call the
meeting to order after Goble
and Owens became locked in a
back-and-forth over financial
matters.
During a vote on a resolution to void and reissue
checks, Owens vote against
the measure was quickly fol-.
lowed by Goble interjecting,
"As usuaL"
The vote to adjourn the
meeting was the only unanimous decision during he special meeting.
After the meeting, Goble
asked citizens and the media to
stay and receive a "Factual
Accounting of Fiscal Court
Matters." The handout had
been approved by Magistrates
Daniels, Akers and Goble.
After some time to review,
Magistrates Goble and Owens
sat down and seemed to work
out some of their issues,
explaining a lot of the last two
weeks controversy as being
"big misunderstandings."
Owens admitted the statements he had made in his ad
saying that controversy surrounding Rodney Ousley was
misunderstood.
"Rodney stated to me (that
C~mtlnued
from p1
Goble had told him he had to
go), and I stated it as fact,"
Owens said.
The issue of Owens' brother-in-law arose when The Big
Sandy News erroneously
reported that Carl · Cooley
worked for the county.
Magistrate Goble clarified that
Greg Cooley, of no relation to
Magistrate Owens, does in fact
work for the county, and that
Carl Cooley, as Owens stated,
does not work for the county.
A dispute over a salt truck
between Owens and Goble
was also laid to rest, as both
magistrates admitted that their
argument over the issue had
been a misunderstanding.
While Goble had in fact volunteered to have the truck picked
up by his rollback truck, the
salt truck in question never left
District 2.
"It was a bad week for all of
us," Goble said.
Magistrates Daniels, Akers
and Goble are all still planning
to donate $5,000 of their
salaries back to the fiscal
court, and will do so when
they are certain they are not in
violation of state law.
Daniels said he would like
to set up a district fund, to
insure that the money he
donates goes back to the people of his district. Akers was
also in favor of the donated
money staying in his district
When asked again if he
would commit to donating a
portion of his salary back to
the fiscal court, or as the other
magistrates had suggested,
back to his own district,
Owens remained steadfast
"I wouldn't want to commit
to something, without knowing what it is," Owens said.
It was also stated by the
county attorney after the meeting that money for the Garth
Landfill, $212,000, has in fact
been paid in fulL
Judge Marshall said afterwards that "Things are gonna
be tight for a while, but we are
on the right track."
After deadly mine explosions in 2006, Congress
passed legislation that year
requiring that mine operators
adopt wireless communications and electronic tracki ng
systems by June 2009.
The wireless requirement
was part of comprehensive
safety legislation to improve
conditions for the nation's
43,000 underground coal miners. In a January 2006 explosion at the Sago Mine in West
Virginia, 12 men died from
carbon monoxide poisoning.
In May of that year, five men
died in an underground explosion at the Kentucky Darby
mi ne.
In August 2007, nine people died in two cave-ins at the
Crandall Canyon mine in
Utah.
Since 2006, the agency
issued 36 new or revised
approvals for communications
and tracking systems and is
examining 41 more, including
several applications for other
wireless systems, an MHSA
spokesman said.
During emergencies, mine
operators are required to shut
down power, a cautionary
move that also cu ts off other
mining-tracking
systems.
Dave Chirdon, MSHA's supervisor of the electrical safety
division, said Venture's system
resorts to battery power for up
to 48 hours and more accurately tracks miners than other
systems.
The Big Branch mine in
Naugatuck, W.V , has been
using
Venture
Design 's
MineTracer Miner Location
Monitoring System since May,
said Jim Barrett, the product's
research and developmen t
manager.
The complex system,
which Barrett described as a
cell phone network "blanketing a city that is shrunk down
and installed underground," is
designed to work during emergencies, especially in hazardous gas environments.
The installation cost is
about $35,000 per mile, or
$100,000 to $1 million
depending on the size of a
mi-ne, he estimated.

According to Trust for Life,
currently there are more than
770 Kentuckians on waiting
lists for lifesaving organ transplants. The numbers are even
greater for those needing lifeenhancing procedures that
require donated tissue such as
corneas, heart valves and
veins.
"Somebody in every family
probably knows someone who
either needs or has received an
organ or tissue transplant,"
Hall said.
Kentucky residents with a
valid driver's license or state
identification card can now
become organ donors by registering on Kentucky's new
Organ Donor Registry when
they go in to renew their
license. Those wanting to

Guest v iew--
Science bills
deserve
swift passage
On. Jan. 23, the Kentucky Senate passed two important
math and science initiatives, 36-0.
No doubt Senate leaders put these initiatives at the top of
their agenda to make a point: Improving math and science
education can't wait. In 2007, similar initiatives passed the
Senate but then died in the House because of gubernatorial
election-year politics and objections of the teachers unions.
Modifications have been made to accommodate the teachers
- although the offending parts will have to be confronted
one day.
The House should act quickly on these bills. Kentucky lags
in science and math the way it lags in so many areas.
Consider a few statistics:
We rank 47th in the nation in the number of scientists and
engineers and 42nd in high-tech jobs. And that situation isn't
about to change.
That's because only 4.75 of every 1,000 Kentucky graduates get degrees in science or engineering. That low percentage- far below the national average of 7.82- put the commonwealth in 49th place.
Why does it matter? First, many of the best jobs of the
future will depend on math and science skills. The expanding
fields in the new economy include computer science, environmental engineering, health care and biomedical engineering. At the top of the list of jobs that are on the decline are
manufacturing and agriculture - two Kentucky staples.
But our extraordinarily low number of science grads is
tragic for another reason: It shows our schools are failing to
excite students in science. Certainly, more than 4.75 of every
1,000 students have a natural curiosity about science - and
a natural inclination. Somehow that is being killed.
So, Senate Bills 2 and 64 are meant to attack the problem
in many ways. SB 2, to cite just a few of many provisions,
offers teachers professional development grants and high
schools grants for creating Adv'anced Placement courses, and
it demands that all middle schools and high schools implement courses of study that will get students ready for AP
courses in calculus, chemistry and physics. SB 64 creates
alternate routes for teacher certifi~ation to help lure real scientists and real mathematicians into Kentucky classrooms,
where they can pass their passions along.
Clearly, not everyone is built to be a scientist. And universities have many more missions than to prepare the next generation for jobs.
But in most national rankings, something else is clear: We
have one of the nation 's lowest per capita incomes.
Responsible lawmakers must confront that truth, as must
responsible university presidents.

When an assassin
succeeds
The roll call of U.S. allies in the
Middle East and its neighborhood has
always read like a target list: Maliki,
Karzai, Sistani, Musharraf. One bullet or one suicide blast could wipe out
all our work and rip apart a strategically important country.
Assassinations have steadily
picked off pro-Western politicians in
Lebanon, and one of our key tribal
allies in Western Iraq, Sheik Satter,
was murdered shortly after meeting
with President Bush. But since Sept.
11, we have been lucky. There have
been no assassinations of true geestrategic significance, except perhaps
that of anti-Syria former Lebanese
Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, whose
killing prompted a popular backlash
that ended the Syrian occupation of
his country.
Until now. Until Benazir Bhutto
was killed in a shooting and suicide
bombing at the end of a political rally
in the city of Rawalpindi. Until her
return to Pakistan from exile a few
months ago, met immediately with
threats to kill her from Islamic
extremists, ended in a tragedy that is
still shocking even if it seemed
inevitable.
It's always heen the assassin's
conceitthat he can move history with
a single blow. Sometimes, as most

infamously with Gavrilo Princip 's
shot that precipitated World War I, he
succeeds. But it is much harder to do
in stable, institutionally mature
democracies where established parties can be as important as a single
man or woman.
Pakistan, alternately ruled by
civilian kleptocrats and generals, is not such
a
country.
Bhutto will be
hard to replace.
In keeping
with the clannishness
of
Pakistani politics ,
her
Pakistan
Peoples Party was entirely dependent
on her (authoritarian-style) leadership. Her civilian rival, Nawaz
Sharif, who also recently returned
from exile, is soft on Islamic militants and has even been accused of
having taken bribes from Osama bin
Laden. That leaves President Pervez
Musharraf, increasingly isolated
politically, without a decent civilian
ally with whom to try to broaden his
support as his country totters from
this latest blow.
If Bhutto's murder were to create
a spiral of violence in nuclear-armed
Pakistan that Musharraf couldn 't
control, it would be the most successful post-Sept. 11 terrorist act since
the bombing of the Golden Mosque
The world's financial markets
have reacted to the bursting of the
U.S. housing bubble with the quiet,
calm confidence of 14-year-olds fleeing a burning building. Make that 10year-olds.
From Hong Kong to London,
from Tokyo to Paris and back to
Frankfurt, the world's financiers are
trembling in their custom-made
boots. Markets plunged as investors
rushed to dump stocks.
The spectacle so unnerved Ben
Bernanke, the cl1airman of the
Federal Reserve, that he called his
board members together and lowered
the Fed's benchmark interest rates by
[begin ital] three-quarters of a percent. [end ital] (This is a group that
normally treats a one-quarter ratedrop as surrender to licentious urges.)
The cutting of interest rates
seemed to help some and congressional leaders quickly gathered to
promise a "stimulus package" (which
the Democrats define as giving cash
to working stiffs and Republicans as
tax cuts for people who are having
trouble financing their third homes)
but the situation remains muddled.
Some say we're headed for a
recession. Some say we're in one
already. Others favor the "don't just
do something, stand there" approach.
I don' t know what to think. I just
know that if God really did make
George W. Bush president, as Mr.
Bush claims, He's got a Jot to answer
in Iraq, which stoked a civil war that
nearly brought us to our knees there.
Chaos is militancy's friend, and it is
much easier to bring about than lawfully constituted order.
For the terrorists, murder rather
than persuasion
is the very stuff
of
politics.
Where it has no
majority support •
and no democratic in~pirational
leaders of its
own, al-Qaida
can always kill
and hope to gain
in the resulting
whirlwind.
As Iraq during the past year
shows, chaos needn't prevail. As our
Iraq policy spiraled downward in
2006, it benefited from the sort of
thorough rethinking that we now
need to bring to bear to Pakistan and
Afghanistan.
Because what we always feared
has happened - an assassin has
killed a strategically significant target. Bhuho's martyrdom will understandably obscure her misrule the
first two times she was prime minister. But on her return, she was a frank
voice against Islamism, and no one
can deny her this: She was very
brave.
Rich Lowry is editor of the
National Review.
--------------------------------------
for. At everything the president has
tried his hand at - foreign affairs,
domestic affairs, environmental
affairs, energy policy, economic policy, administration of justice - he's
been a disaster. If he were a boat he'd
be the Titanic; a car,
the Edsel. It's not just
that he's gotten us in
this hole, he and his
gang have used the
available ladders for
kindling.
Any
stimulus
package will increase
the budget deficit,
already huge, which
will require us to go
begging to Japan and
China to bail us out, which they
might not want to do"because the dollar keeps getting weaker because
we're running so large a budget
deficit.
And don' t for-get, we've got a war
to pay for.
So the next president will come
into office facing a huge deficit, a
staggering economy, an endless war,
an empty treasury and bad credit.
Not only that, if he or she is a
Democrat, he or she will have
promised to give health care and a
variety of other goodies to the mas es - if a Republican, big tax cuts with no way to pay for it.
It kind of makes you wonder why
anyone would want to be president
doesn't it?
The situation reminds me of an
old baseball joke. A rookie in spring
training take the field playing third
base. A batter hits the ball to him; he
boots it. A econd batter hit the ball
to him; he boots it again. Improbably,
a third batter fi nds him with a
grounder. It goes through his legs.
The manager yanks the kid and
puts in his veteran third-base man.
The next batter hits the ball to him
and [begin ital] he [end it] boots it.
At which point the old third-baseman throws down his glove and
storms off the field, saying:
"That kid's got the
position so screwed
up, can't nobody play
it."
Which is pretty
much the situation
with George W. Bush
and the presidency.
To be fair, however, tJ
(and there's no reason
to be fair; I'm doing it
out of the goodness of
my heart) Mr. Bush
had help principally Alan
Greenspan, Mr. Bernank:e's predecessor as Fed Chairman.
As the housing bubble grew to
alarming proportions, Mr. Greenspan
refused to be alarmed. Rather than
impose lending restrictions on banks,
he dismissed the bubble as mere
froth, something trivial and of little
concern.
This contempt for regulation is
part of the laissez faire economic phi- f
lo ophy he shares with President
Bush, Milton Friedman and most
doctrinaire conservatives. They hold
that all government regulation is bad;
that only through the working of free
markets can an economy reach its
potential. The invisible hand of competition sorts things out.
Well, what we've been seeing of
late is that invisible hand at work.
How do you like it so far?

SCIENTIFIC QUEST
The Groundhog, if he or she
was in the neighborhood of where
I was, and if he or she ambled forth
at the right moment, Monday
afternoon, saw his or her shadow. I
would have passed up that earthshattering truth, had not a certain
scientist been quoted as saying the
groundhog doesn't look for his
shadow, that he rises from his long
winter's nap to look for a female
groundhog. Being of a scientific
tum of mind myself, as all who
know me are aware, that statement
set me to thinking. If the groundhog that came out from aforesaid
hole was a female, what was she
looking for?'

A long neglected gem finally
joined the DVD marketplace last
Halloween when Lions Gate Films
released this classic monster movie to
DVD.
If you like 1950s-style creature
features, but crave l980s-style gore,
then this effort should be in your collection and will doubtless see many
spins in your player.
The film opens in Florida as a
family of tourists, from Chicago,
enjoy a gator wrestling show. The
event goes better
for the gator,
which manages
to take a bite out
of its slow witted
opponent while
an emcee tries to
make light of the
attack by noting,
"Sometimes the
gator wins.''
The couple's
young daughter,
Tom DDIV
Marissa, has a Times Columnist
great time and
happily accepts a baby gator for the
trip home. All it takes is one bad day
at the office for dad to lose it and send
that baby reptile down the drain.
Cut to 12 years later where we
meet a harried detective, Madison,
charged with tracking down a killer
when the leg of a sewer worker turns
up in a storm drain. Meanwhile, a
shady pet store operator is observed
kidnapping pooches and selling them
to an unscrupulous pharmaceutical
company (is there any other kind?).
Madison buys a puppy from said pet
store shortly before the creep behind
the counter is gobbled up by the
film's killer, which is same gator
glimpsed in the prologue, though
now it's grown to super size due to a
steady diet of animal corpses fresh
from the lab seen earlier.
When pieces of the pet shop guy
show up in the same storm drain, an
autopsy reveals that an animal is the
culprit. Madison realizes he must
search the sewer system and looks for
a uniformed volunteer. This turns out
to be tougher than it sounds owing to
Madison's lousy reputation, which he
earned after losing his last partner· in
a gun battle. One brave young officer
(read: a hotshot waiting for his abilities to catch up with his attitude)
agrees to help but is soon regretting
his decision as he is being chewed on
by the mutant reptile.
That development doesn't help
Madison's reputation and it's further
complicated by a brash reporter who
does a big story on Madison's ability
to survive encounters which kill his
compatriots. Said reporter gets wind
of the alligator angle and is soon
treated to an up close and personal
interview with the beast when he
enters its lair. This turns out to be
good news for Madison, as it kills the
stories about the high mortality rate
of his partners. Better yet, the
reporter turns out to have had a
Protestant work ethic which compelled him to snap pictures of the critter as it was tucking into him.

by TOM and RAY
MAGLIOZZI
Dear Tom and Ray:
Please save me from the
brutal verbal badgering I must
endure every time my husband
rides with me. We have a manual transmission. Sometime
during my lifetime I developed what I perceive a harmless, if not helpful, habit. As 1
approach slower-moving traffic or a red light, I push in on
the clutch and begin to brake.
When my speed gets down to,
say, where it would be in
fourth gear, I put the car into
fourth but don't release the
clutch. I do that all the way
down the gears, never releasing the clutch unless traffic
starts to move, at which time I
am in the proper gear and simply let out on the clutch, and
voila - I am in the right gear
for my speed. My husband
insists that this is "down gearing" and that I am wearing out
the transmission linkage or
gear shifter or something. I
know it's not "down gearing"

Armed with photographic
proof, Madison is able to
enlist the aid of a reptile specialist who turns out to be wait for it - Marissa. She
even tells Madison that she
lost her pet alligator, which
she named Ramon, but
nobody does the math so that
angle never goes anywhere.
After a concerted effort to
comb the sewers proves fruitless, Madison decides to
investigate the pharmacy
chain which endorsed the
experiments. He runs into a
brick wall and is later booted
off the force when the pharmacy's billionaire owner,
Slade, gets wind of his investigation. Slade also opts to milk
the situation for publicity and
publicly' grants the mayor a
generous stipend to hire a
great hunter named Brock.
Meanwhile, the gator goes
on a rampage that includes
fishing for tots at a pool party
and crashing the wedding of
Slade's
daughter.
That
sequence is the highlight, with
the
creature
alternating
between chomping on guests
and sending others into orbit
with its massive tail. Brock
eventually corners it in an
alley but realizes too late that
his ammo is not up to the task.
It all comes down to a
showdown between Madison
and the gator in its sewer lair
in an action-packed sequence
that delivers on all fronts.
What makes this work is a
sharp screenplay by independent filmmaker extrodinare
John Sayles. He admits on the
featurette that he loved the
challenge of writing a monster
movie under a two-week
deadline. His reasoning was
that a director pressed for time
would stick to his script and
the result is a heck of a monster flick that acknowledges
all things sewer related.
The best joke is that the
first victim, the sewer worker,
was named Ed Norton (a wink
to you "Honeymooners" fans)
but there are plenty of other
bits, such as some scribble on
a sewer wall that "Harry Lime
lives." Lime was the name of
Orson Welles' character from
the spy classic "The Third
Man" who appears to perish in
a sewer during the film's climax.
Sayles' script is well directed by Lewis Teague ("Cujo")
who assembles an amazing
cast. Robert Foster anchors
the film as the laconic
Madison and proves to be a
true professional by insisting
that the screenplay incorporate Jines about his encroaching baldness rather than making with a comb over.
Henry Silva, of Rat Pack
fame, is appropriately arrogant as the hunter, and character veteran Sydney Lassick
("One Flew over the Cuckoo's
Nest") is suitably sleazy as the
pet store owner.
Also look for Michael V.
Gazzo ("The Godfather, Part
2") as a harried police chief
and Vegas comedian Jack
Carter as the glad handing
mayor.
All in all, this is a smart
low-budget treat from the
same
guy

I thought about that for a
moment and the different reasons people golf. All of a sudden it didn't seem like such a
stupid game after all.
Now, I won't lie and say I
took up golf after that day, so
many years ago. I still prefer

win many golf tournaments
before she lost her life to cancer. But I learned one thing
that day - in golf, as in life,
you always have to follow
through.
since I don' t actually use the
lower gear to slow down. But
really, am I causing enough
wear on the transmission in
any way that would require
maintenance sooner than the
way he does it - which is to
push in the clutch, leave it in
until he knows what gear he
wants and then move directly
to that gear? My contention is
that if there is an impact, it is
so minimal that the car would
be a rust bucket before the
added "wear" would affect
anything. A lot is riding on
this. If I am right, I get to say
"Tom and Ray say it's .OK"
every time I get into the car
with him. But if I'm wrong, I
have to do it his way. Suzanne
TOM: The answer is, It
hardly matters, Suzanne.
While neither of you is doing
it exactly as we would recommend, both of your methods
are fine.
RAY: Neither of you is
technically "downshifting,"
because downshifting occurs
only when you let out the
clutch in a lower gear. When
you downshift to slow the car
for a red light, for instance,
that does wear out your clutch
disc - the most expensive and
most rapidly used-up part of
the clutch. But that's not an
issue for you guys. So you' re
both off the hook.
TOM: Technically, by
pushing in the clutch and holding it in, you are putting a little
bit of extra wear on the "throw
out" bearing, which is
involved in engaging and disengaging the clutch. But in
most cars, that lasts for the life
of the car anyway, or certainly
longer than the clutch disc.
The same is true for the shifter
linkage and synchros, or anything else you might be using a
little bit by driving your way.
S9 I wouldn't even worry
about it. Like you said,
Suzanne, your car will be on
my brother's shopping list
(it'll be a heap) by the time
&CLAC
Talk Cars
any of this stuff matters.
RAY: But if you both wanted to be exactly correct, what
you would do is NOT shift out
of gear. If you were in fourth
gear, for instance, and a light
up ahead turned red, you' d
take your foot off the accelerator and brake if necessary,. and
just slow down while still in
fourth gear.
TOM: When you slowed
the engine down to I ,500 or
1,000 rpm, before the car started bucking or protesting,
THEN you'd push in the
cl utch, put the shifter in
Neutral, Jet out the clutch, and
come to a stop with the clutch
still out - and leave it out
until it's time to go again.
RAY: Or . if, instead, the
light turned green anytime
while you were slowing down,
you' d just shift into the appropriate gear then, let the clutch
out and keep going.
TOM: So now, if you so
desire, you can verbally badger your husband for not doing
it the right way either,
Suzanne. Or you guys can
have peace talks and create a (demilitarized zone on the console between the front seats.

H.S. volleyball
rules changes
announced
TIMES STAFF REPORT
TIMES STAFF REPORT
INDIANAPOLIS - Three
~) revisions related to officials are
among changes in high school
volleyball rules approved by the
National Federation of State
High
School
Associations
(NFHS)
Volleyball
Rules
Committee at its January 6-8
meeting in Indianapolis. The
changes subsequently were
approved by the NFHS Board of
Directors.
In an effort to reflect current
terminology, all references to referee and umpire in the NFHS
Volleyball Rules Book will be
~ changed to first referee and second referee, respectively.
"The other major rules codes
- the NCAA and USA Volleyball
- use this terminology, and officials refer to themselves in this
manner as well," said Becky
Oakes, NFHS assistant director
and liaison to the Volleyball
Rules Committee.
In a similar type of "name"
change, the position of "assistant
scorer" will now be referred to as
"libero tracker." Since the duty
of this individual is to track
libero replacements and substitutions, the committee determined
that this. change more easily identifies the position and its responsibilities.
Although the use of flags by
line judges is not required in high
school volleyball and has been
optional, the committee revised
Rule 5-8-4 to allow the use of
flags on a state association-adoption basis.
"The opportunity to use flags
continues," Oakes, "but the use
of flags will be determined by the
various state high school associations rather than on an individual
. , basis."
A final change in Rule 1-6-2
will allow a team to have more
than one captain at the pre-match
conference. Previously this conference was conducted with only
the head coach and one captain
from each team.
"Since many teams have cocaptains, the committee believed
this change was needed to more
accurately reflect what many
states already permit," Oakes
said.
As it does each year, the
Volleyball Rules Committee
~I adopted several points of emphasis for the upcoming season. The

Manning boys bring dad to Super Bowl 2 ye _a rs 1n a row
by JIM LITKE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX - The patJ.iarch
of the NFL's liM ramily settled
deep into a plush sofa and
recalled the day his sons
announced they intended to
make football their business,
too.
"In a way.'' Archie Manning
said, "it kind or scared me."
His two older boys, Cooper
and Peyton. weren't much
taller than a pair of football
pants at the time. They walked
into the house wcruing expressions so serious Manning wondered what was coming next.
'"Dad,'" they told him,
'"you really need to push us a
little more.'
"That's not what T do,"
Manning said, chuckling at the
memory. ''I'd already seen a
little too much pushing at the
ballpark. But I supported them,
and the most T did, really, was
explain that it's not just about
showing up at practice. It's
about the offseason, too, lifting
and running and such all the
time. But that's exactly what
they went out and did.
"When Eli came along five
years later, I thought he might
go another route, do something
different, because he didn't say
much. But very quietly, he followed the same path and one
day he just comes out and says,
'1 want to play quru·tcrback,'"
Archie added. "And then he
just went to work at it, too."
Because Eli did, the whole
Manning clan is back at the
Super Bowl for the second
year in a row, this time with a
rooting inrercs·r in the New
York Giants. It's a game Archie
never dared dream about while
starring for 11 years as quarterback of the woeful New

It's· 1974 and you're almost
out of gas. Thanks to the oil
c1isis, a fill-up will be expensive, and might involve waiting in line - but at least those
government gas rationing
coupons haven't gone into
effect.
Gas rationing coupons?
Whether or not you have
memories of this chapter in
American history, you might
be curious to know what these
4.8 billion coupons were all
about - and what ever happened to them alL That curiosity inspired one of five readersubmitted questions being
answered in this installment of
"Ask AP," an interacttve Q&A
column where AP journalists
respond to que~tions about the
news.

What can a person or family do to help stimulate the
economy and avoid a recession? That is, if we weren't getting checks and someone had
the idea of just TELLING the
American people how they can
help, what would they say?

regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability or national odgi.n.
For starters, think about a
poster on every street corner
that reads, "Uncle Sam wants
you to .. . spend, spend, spend."
The fact is, fear of a recession can lead to behavior that
causes a recession.
When times are uncertain,
consumers and businesses
become reluctant to spend
their money. So, for example,
companies don't build new factories or hire new employees if
they're not sure they'll be able
to maintain production. And
consumers don't invest in a
new car or TV if they're unsure
they'll have a job in three
months.
On the other hand, if consumers keep spending, it has a
cascade effect. The consumer's
money goes to the retailer,
which pays its workers as well
as its wholesalers; the wholesalers, in turn, pay their workers and their manufacturers;
and so on down the line.
The problem, of course, is
that what's good for the economy may not be good for an
individual's
pocketbook.
Spending without regard to the
security of your job - or the
amount of savings and debt
you've got - could be hazardous to your personal
finances.

What happened to the gas
rationing coupons printed the
1970s?
Richard Dean
Dover Plains, NY.
In response to the Arab oil
embargo that began in October
1973, the idea was hatched to
limit gas consumption by distributing coupons that drivers
would need to present whenever they went to fill up their
cars. The plan was to let most
drivers have 32 to 35 gallons
of gas a month.
(Rising gas prices, apparently, weren't enough to limit
consumption. The average
price for a gallon of gas went
up from 38.7 cents before the
embargo to 54.2 cents a year
later - in today's dollars,
that's a jump from $1.81 to
$2.28.)
The 4.8 billion coupons,
created in 1974, were never
distributed. Ten years later,
most were shredded and buried
by the Department of Energy
at an estimated cost of
$145,000.
At least two sheets of the
coupons were saved for the
National Archives and the
Smithsonian. And few other
coupons managed to avoid the
shredder - one is among the
items on display in an ongoing
exhibit on the 1973 oil crisis at
the Canadian Centre for
Architecture in Montreal. The
museum says the coupon was
bought on eBay for $95.

County Attorney Keith Bartley had said at the

Floyd County felt Stumbo's absence from the legislature as well as his work as attorney general during the Fletcher administration,
In the final year of Ernie Fletcher's administration, the Floyd County fiscal court received nothing
in road money. Judge Executive R.D. "Doc"
Marshall said that the county budgets under the
assumption of receiving near half a million dollars
each year from the state.
The Kentucky General Assembly began on Jan.
8. This is the second time in the last four years that
the 95th District has been without a representative
at the start of the General Assembly. Stumbo did
not vacate his seat in 2004 until he became attorney
general.
Chuck Meade, who flled in December to run in
the 2008 election said that he remains committed to
run as planned in the May primary.
Meade served as 95th District representative
from 2004 to 2006, but lost in a narrow defeat to
Spencer.
After filing as a write-in candidate, "Steady"
Eddie Meade said that he would run in the May primary if he won, though as of the deadline, Meade's
name was absent from the roster of candidates provided by the Secretary of State.
Meade later said he had decided to pursue only
the "unexpired term," and had no intentions of
being a career politician.
With the win Tuesday, Stumbo, as incumbent,
will face Meade in the Democratic Primary in May.
Brown has no opposition within the Republican
Party, and will await the winner of the primary in
November's general election.

THE FACTS ARE-The Fiscal Court voted on May 23rd to pass
the 2007 budget totalling eighteen million dollars. When, I, Jackie
Owens, asked the county treasurer at the meeing- "Did we not pass
an eighteen million dollar budget on May 23rd and HE SAID YES.
A copy of this budget is in the clerk's office and the treasurer's office.
NONE of my family members work in District 2. Hattie has OVER 14
YEARS with the county and Jackie has nearly 9 years and has done
the same job for the LAST 5 YEARS. On Thursday, January 17th,
eleven road workers were laid off. Eight of the eleven road workers
were hired NEW this year. Out of the 30 some employees laid offthat's road workers and office workers together-The Times Reporter
pointed out to me that around 24 of these were newly hired this year.
None of the Fiscal Court members wanted to lay off anybody, but due
to the financial woes of the county, ALL the Magistrates and the
.Judge had no choice but to vote FOR this.
Yes, I did vote-NO-Friday, on paying back the state $579,000
dollars that was borrowed by the county because I was the only
Magistrate that voted not to borrow the money back then, in the first
place. This is over a half million do.llars that will come out of the
General Fund where we get our blac~top money, our ~ravel money,
our diesel fuel money, and pay ou . road workers salaries. I also
voted AGAINST setting up a line of credit for another $500,000
from Community Trust Bank. I khew from the start when the
Magistrates mentioned donating a portion of their salary that they
couldn't do that. It's illegal to raise or lower the salary once it's set.
Now, if they want to cash their check and hand back $5,000 to the
county, they can do that. I still stand by my ads and what was said in
them that I put in the papers. I WILL ALWAYS defend
. myself when
being talked about.
There are some people who do not want the Fiscal Court and the
Magistrates to get along together. They are always trying to split and
divide the Fiscal Court for their benefit. I AGREE, these arguments
should never have gone to the level they have. The Fiscal Court--all
the Magistrates and the .fudge- need to be working together to
collect what money is owed the county in order to get our men and
women back to work as soon as possible.

Not too expensive;
never too expensive
So let's get this straight: Kentucky can't afford $6 million for a
possible but unlikely extra election once every four years, but it
can afford $6 million for a guaranteed extra election once every
four years?
That would seem to be the rationale behind a bill that passed the
state Senate last week and is now under consideration by the
House of Representatives.
Senate Bill 3 would eliminate Kentucky's never-used runoff
elections for gubernatorial races, but commit the state to participating in future "Super Tuesday" presidential primaries.
Regardless of whether you fall on the side of democracy or frugality, this bill is just simply inconsistent in its logic.
Sure, the state is facing lean times right now, and for that matter, so is Floyd County, which like all counties would be responsible for a portion of the cost of an additional election. But if saving
money is the issue, how does it make sense to commit the state to
an additional election during the presidential election?
On the"other hand, we fall on the other side of this issue and
maintain that the will of the people is far more valuable than any
potential cost savings.
Currently, state law requires a runoff election in the governor's
race if no candidate in a party achieves more than 40 percent of the
vote in that party's primary. The way it would work is that if no
candidate reaches 40 percent of the vote in May, the top two votegetters would square off again in June for the right to represent
_ their party in November.
Since the runoff provision has been enacted, it has never been
used because candidates have always surpassed the 40 percent
mark. But the reason for it is sound. Suppose a candidate wins a
ulti-way primary with 30 percent of the vote, then goes on to win
tbe general election in November. In that scenario, the state would
en be led by a candidate who was originally opposed by more
. 'tl'ian two-thirds or his or h er own party.
Having a runoff system in place is a sound way of ensuring that
the people of Kentucky have their true choices honored in the vot!ng booth, rather than forcing the majority of them to choose
between the lesser of two evils.
As for participating in Super Tuesday, we believe that will also
benefit the state by giving Kentuckians more say in national
affairs. As it stands now, the presidential primaries are usually
already over by the time Kentucky goes to the polls, meaning most
presidential candidates never hear the wants and needs of our vot- .
ers until November - and then only if the race is close enough
that the state's eight electoral votes will make a difference.
Those who argue that $6 million is too much to pay to hold an
additional election miss the point. Democracy is not a luxury that
.is only worthwhile when there is money in the bank; it is the very
foundation of government. l,t is not an option that can be conveniently abandoned when times get tough; it is the necessary
lifeblood of our country and grows in its value precisely when
times are tough. .
·
The right of every American to vote, to have his or her voice
"' -heard, to directly shape the future of our country, has been purchased with the blood of countless patriots, from the Battle of
f-exington and Concord, to the streets of Baghdad today. In comparison, $6 million is a pittance.
The provision for runoff elections should remain, and Kentucky
-should participate in Super Tuesday. But if some legislators are
uneasy over the prospect of spending $6 million to $ 12 million
-every four years to give Kentucky voters more say in government,
tben we suggest they look to cut expenses. We' ll even offer them a
uggestion:
Our state representatives and senators can pay the full bill for
~hese two additional elections by foregoing their salaries for four
)tears - because, while participating in the democratic process is a
.God-given right, getting fat off the public trough is not.

Senate week
in review
by SEN. JOHNNY RAY TURNER
29TH SENATE DIST RICT
In his state budget address this
week, Gov. Steve Beshear delivered a
stark, but po~ surprising message. The
Commonwealth of Kentucky has
$580 million less for the next fiscal
year than ahticipated, which means
making painful decisions as we draft a
budget for the next two years. The
governor's plan largely spares K-12
education and preserves spending on
Medicaid a~d prisons. Agencies and
programs across state government
face serious belt-tightening.
The governor's proposal is only the
beginning qf the process. Currently,
the House i~ working on the budget,
and once it gets approval there, it will
move to the Senate. The final step will
be approval by the House and Senate
Conference Committee. But even with
the budget in the House, the Senate
has already started its work, and
through leg'slation, is looking at ways
to improve the financial stress.
Prison $pending is one of the
fastest-growing segments of our budget. In 1970, Kentucky had 2,838 prisoners. Just last week, the state's
inmate population was 22,442 and, by
the end of the biennium, that number
is expected to top 23,000. Kentucky's
correction budget has swelled to nearly $398 million in general funds. The
governor plans to appoint a criminal
justice task force to undertake a com- 200-bed program in a prison-like setprehensive review of Kentucky 's ting. Volunteers would receive an
penal code, sentencing guidelines and even more rigorous treatment, along

qf money laundering and harboring a fugitive.
According

Reid was also charged with

being made aware of the warrant outstanding for Jackson.
Jackson was arrested in
September of 2005, and has
been housed in jail since.
Additionally, Reid was

years ago Kentucky launched
a 15-county pilot project that
sent health workers to visit
pregnant women and new
mothers in their homes.
Now the results are in and
officials say the participating
women and children have
shown dramatic improvement
in their health and well-being.
That's according to a recent
evaluation of the program
known as HANDS - Health

Nurturing
Development Services.
It now exists in all of
Kentucky 's
120 counties
where it has helped reduce the
rates of underweight and premature babies. It has also
reduced the rate of infant
deaths , birth defects and child
abuse and neglect.
And there are benefits to
the parents as well. Not only
do they show better parenting
skills, but they are also more
likely to improve their education and seek better jobs.

calling the department at (888)
297-9093.
As part of the voucher, the
participant will be responsible
for a $20 co-pay per procedure
to be paid to the veterinarian.
The
vouchers
must be
redeemed no later than 60 days
after issuance.
Farmer said that participat
ing veterinarians are "helping
pet owners who want to do the
right thing."
Approved households will
only be eligible for two vouchers, and pets must be at least 6
months old to be spayed or
neutered.
The
voucher
program
receives its funding primarily
from the ale of spay and neuter
license plates. The plates, whiL:h
can be purchased through the
county clerk's office, require an
initial fee of $25 as well as a
$20 annual renewal fee.

Turner said, "They (the military) give

best we can offer as well."
To receive the rebates, applications
must be filed within one year from the
date the tax payment was made. Once the
fund is depleted, there will be no further
rebates, and claims will be paid on firstcome, first-serve basis.
''Though they have earned much more,
I. think this legislation is a step in the right
direction," Turner said. "It will offer our
military personnel some relief on their tax
burden."
Several pieces of legislation have been
sponsored by Turner during this General
Assembly that address concerns of mili tary families and veterans.
Senate Bill 67, sponsored by Turner,
would make nonresident veteran of the
armed forces eligible for resident license
and permit fee rates. A final vote from the
Senate is needed before the legislation
moves to the House of Representatives.
"These men and woman are a top priority for me and I will continue to fight for
them," he said.
Turner represents the 29th District and
has served in the state Senate since 2001.
Turner was in Prestonsburg Saturday
in support of Greg Stumbo's bid to return
to the House of Representatives.
Sentence
• Continued from p1
· that he believed the defendant
needed some time in prison.
Clark was arrested in the
early morning hours of August
18, 2007, after Prestonsburg
Police had been dispatched to
North Arnold Avenue following a complaint of shots being
fired in front of the library.
The incident began when
George Summers found Clark
in his pickup truck, waiting in
the Floyd County Health
Department parking lot shortly
after 1 a.m. Clark had allegedly been waiting on Summers
for over a half-hour.
In the police report, witnesses alleged that Summers
was walking towards his apartment, unaware of Clark's presence, until Clark revved his
engines. Summers then turned
back and began walking
toward Clark's pickup when
Clark sped forward, narrowly
mtssmg
Summers,
who
dOdged out of the way.
Witnesses maintain that
Clark did not try to "get away"
after attempting to run over
Summers, and that he was dri"~ring
slow
enough
for
Summers to catch up to the
:vehicle on foot.
The truck turned the wrong
way onto Arnold Avenue
toward Court Street as
Summers closed on the passide of vehicle.
Witnesses reported that the
vehicle and Summers moved
out of sight for a few moments
when they heard the shots
fired.
Summers reported opening
the passenger door of the vehicle to find Clark behind the
wheel, who lifted a weapon
from the seat and pointed it at
him . Summers reportedly
slammed the door and ducked
low around the back ot the
truck.
According to the police
report, Clark fired four times
with a semiautomatic rifle out
his rear window and into the
back of his tailgate, though
some rounds were not found.
Witnesses at the time claimed
that Clark fired between 10
and 20 rounds at Summers.
P... second count of wanton
endangerment related to a witness who ran into the line of
fire, looking for Summers,
when the shots began to ring
out.
Clark was indicted on Sept.
20 for attempted murder, a
Class B felony, and firstdegree wanton endangerment,
a Class D felony.
In an agreement with
Commonwealth's Attorney
Arnold Brent Turner, Clark
pleaded guilty to two counts of
wanton endangerment, and the
charge of attempted murder
was dropped.
Clark, who has been housed
in the Floyd County Dete~tion
Center since his arrest, was
sentenced to eight years in
prison, with parole eligibility
after two years. Clark's five
months in the Ployd County
Detention Center will count
towards his prison sentence.

The
Kentucky
Public Service
Commission (PSC) is remind
ing residents that the Federal
Trade CommissiOn (FTC) has
assumed responsibility for
maintaining the list of telephone customers who do not
want to receive calls from tetemarketers.
In an order issued today, the
PSC instructed telephone service providers on the steps
they must take annually to
inform their customers of the
provisions of Kentucky's telearketing laws.
Under a bi II passed by the
2007
Kentucky
General
Assembly. names already on
the Kentucky do-not-call list
were transferred last year to
the FTC'-; national registry.
With that change, Kentucky
customers wishing to sign up
for the do-not-call list in the
future must do so by contacting the FTC either online at
www.donotcall.gov or by calling toll-free, 8~8-382-1222

numher they \\ish to register.
link to the FTC site is available on the Kentucky Office of
Attorney General'~ do-not-call
Weh ~ite, www.nocall.ky.gov.
PSC Chairman Mark David
Goss noted that the do-not-call
list has been the subject of a
number of rumors in recent
months.
..Contrary to some of the
information circulating in
cyberspace, telemarketers are
not about to receive unrestricted access to wireless phones,"
Goss said. "All a consumer
needs to do to protect his or
her wireless phone number is
to place it on the do-not-call
list."
Goss also noted that the
there is no truth to the rumor
that the FTC will begin removing numbers from the list if
they were registered more than
five years ago. The FTC has
announced that it will not
purge numbers until either it or
Congress makes a final decision on whether to impose an
expiration period, he saiu.
"If phone numbers were on
the Kentucky list as of June
2007, there is nothing a customer needs to do at this point
to remain protected against
unwanted
telemarketing
calls," Goss said.
The Kentucky law bars
telemarketing calls with the
exception of those soliciting
donations for charities; those
made by companies with
whom the recipient has a prior
business relationship, debt or
contract; or those made at the
recipient's request.
Complaints regarding possible violations of Kentucky or
federal do-not-call statutes
may be filed with the
Kentucky Office of Attorney
General (www.nocalLky.gov
or 866-877 -7867) or the FTC
(www.donotcall.gov or 888382-1222).
Telecommunication
providers in Kentucky must
notify their customers of the
do-not-call provisions through
bill inserts, bill messages or
the customer guides in their
telephone directories.
A brochure explaining the
do-not-call law, as well as
today's order, may be found on

of throwing french fries during
lunchtime at their school were
cited for "hurling missiles," an
adult infraction covered by city
dinances.
The prindpal of Laramie
Junior High and a police officer
had warned students during an
.tssembly the day before the
french fries' launch that if they
threw food, they had to suffer
the consequences, Police Chief
Bob Deutsch said. The warning
~..:ame after school officials had
heard mmors of an impenqing
{ood fight.
"They saw it as really the
planning of a riot when you
think about it." Deutsch said.
The girls decided to test the
arning, he said.
" It wasn' t a spontaneous
thing
a couple of kids giggling, throwing a french fry at
ach other," Deutsch said.
' They intended on getting
everybody involved in this and
starting .;;omething that no
doubt would have the potential
of getting out of control."
Now. some observers are
saying police and school officials went overboard, and even
the American Civil Liberties
Union weighed in.
"It certainly seems that this
r1:as an overreaction to a situa~on that could have been handled differently," said Linda
Burt, Wyoming director of the
-\CLU.
The girls were also suspended for three days.

• CLEARWATER, Fla.
A hole-in-one is rare on th~ golf
course, but what are the odds of
a blind golfer sinking one?
Leo Fiyalko couldn't see it,
but his golf buddies did - a
hole-in-one on the fifth hole at
the Cove Cay Country Club.
Fiyalko is 92 and has macular degeneration. He's been
golfing for 60 years, but his
11 0-yard shot with a five iron
on Jan. I 0 wa~ his first hole-inone.
"I was just trying to put the
ball on the green," Fiyalko said.
Fiyatko tees off every
Thursday with a group of
golfers ranging in age from 70
to 90-plus. He used tq have a
seven handicap, but now he
needs help lining up his shots
and finding his golf balls
because he only has peti pherat
vision in his right eye.
Jean Gehring was playing in
his foursome and watched
Fiyalko's wing.
"1 could tell it went on the
green, (but) when we got up
there I didn' t see it. I looked in
the hole and there it was,"
Gehring said.
Gehring
said
Fiyalko
brushed off the feat, and had to
be prodded to tell his wife
about it at the end of the round.
Fiyalko's friends at the
country club presented him
with a plaque last week to commemorate the feat.

pet at a dog groomer. When
Saenz-Lopez refused to return
the dog, the family filed a
criminal complaint and a civil
lawsuit against her.
Homero Canales, who represents Saenz-Lopez, has said
his client believed the dog
would die if returned to her
neighbors.
Saenz-Lopez, the city's
mayor since 2003, was indicted Jan. 18 on two felony

Saenz-Lopez filed a police

• OAKLAND, Cali(
Like many a lady of a certain
age, Tiki feels the cold these
days.
So workers at the Oakland
Zoo are having a custom-fit
coat made to keep the giraffe
CO/Y this winter.
At age 18, venerable for
giraffes, Tiki is subject to the
vicissitudes of age. She already
gets regular visits from a chiropractor, a masseuse a11d an
acupuncturist.
Those are accepted treatments for horses, at least in the
always edgy San Francisco
Bay area, and provide a gentle
way to treat ammals without
drugs, said zoo keeper Melissa
McCartney. Massage helps get
Tiki used to interacting with
keepers. Acupuncture helps
with her shoulder and withers.
However, coping with the
effect of Bay Area winter chills
on the African mammal had
baflled keepers.
At 13 feet tall, Tiki is too
big to be herded into a stall,
and regular horse blankets are
too ill-fitting to be left on without supervision lest she get in a
tangle.
"Poor Tiki in her blanket
looh like someone in her sister's hand-me-downs," said
z.oo spokeswoman Nancy
Filippi.
The zoo staff got in touch
with a horse-blanket designer
who agreed to donate her services to tailor a coat for Tiki.
The jacket will be a tasteful
forest green and feature a
removable liner for those inbetween days.
To get precise measurements for the tailoring,
McCartney had to scramble up
a ladder.
The result? A 40 extra, extra
long.

ATHENS, Ga. - Billy Gillispie
;Hid: his Kentucky Wildcats are keeptheir three-game winning streak
perspective.
·II The Wildcats aren't" ranked and
th6y don't even make the RPI's top
125, so there's no need to talk about
~~ir hopes for postseason play in
lWafch. But at least they can call
t1lbmselves winners again.
i ~be Crawford scored 26 points,
including a 3-pointer to start a 10-0
to open the second half, and
K~ntucky overcame the loss of

What does three straight SEC
wins, including handing Georgia its
fitsr home loss of the season, mean
fu'itKentucky?
H£i
m'
run
on
I
"I think it just shows that we're
continuing to improve," Gillispie
said.
For a team which began the day
with a Ratings Percentage Index of
only 135, there's still a long way to
go.
Kentucky overcame the loss of
Bradley and also played strong late
in the game without Crawford, who
suffered cramping in his foot and
was limited to 31 minutes.
"It just shows a lot of heart by our
players who don't get a lot of minutes," said sophomore Derrick
Jasper.
Added Gillispie: "We did everything we could do as far as all the
intangibles to go on the road and
win .... We had a good lead on them
and they came back and took the
lead and our guys didn't blink Our
mental toughness and physical
toughness have really developed."
Kentucky lost guard Bradley with
8:44 left in the first half when the
senior, attempting a fast-break
layup, was knocked to the court
from behind by Georgia's Dave
Bliss. Bradley landed hard and
appeared groggy when he left the
court.
Bradley, who joined warmups for
the start of the second half before he
was sent back to the locker room,
suffered a Grade 2 concussion and a
cut on his chin, according to
Gillispie.
Gillispie said he didn't know
Bradley's status for Wednesday's
game at Auburn.
Crawford was given intravenous
fluids after the game. Bradley and
Crawford were not available for
comment.
Ramon Harris scored a careerhigh 9 points and Porter played 18
minutes, his most in an SEC game.
"That's the best game I have ever
seen him play, no question," said
Gillispie of Harris. a sophomore
who made 4 of 5 shots.
Kentucky's go-to scorer, however, was Crawford.
"He was fantastic," Gillispie said.
"It was the best o(fensive game he's
played all year long, in my opinion,
because his shots were so timely."
Added Georgia coach Dennis
Felton: "Joe Crawford played a heck
of a game for them. He made a lot of
tough shots and proved just how
good of a scorer he is."
Sundiata Gaines hit a 3-pointer
with 5:19 left to give Georgia its last
lead at 54-53, but the Bulldogs managed only one more field goal the
rest of the game. Troy Brewer sank a
3-pointer with 25 seconds left.
Georgia (ll-8, 2-4) suffered its
third straight loss and had its 11game home winning streak end,
including 10 wins in Athens this season.
Georgia, last in the SEC in scoring and shooting in conference
games, has been held under 60
points in four of six SEC games.
"I thought we played really hard
today, especially on defense, but we
just couldn't capitalize on the opportunities that we had throughout the
game," Felton said.
"We had 17 offensive rebounds,
which is a tremendous number, and
gave ourselves plenty of chances to
build a lead, but we wer~ never able
to break through and give ourselves
any type of cushion."
Kentucky led only 30-29 at halftime but stretched the lead to 40-29
with the 10-0 run. After Crawford's
3-pointer, Michael Porter's steal se~
up a basket by Harris.
Patterson capped the run with a
jam.
Georgia, Jed by Gaines' 15 points,
recovered with a 9-0 run and
regained the lead at 48-4 7 on a base-'
line drive by Terrance Woodbury,
who had 12 points.
After Gaines gave Georgia its last
lead at 54-53, Crawford answered
with his fifth 3-pointer.
Georgia trailed 58-55 when
Woodbury committed a turnover
which led to an alley-oop jam by
Patterson, giving Kentucky a 60-55•
lead with 56 seconds left.
Bliss had 10 points and 8
rebounds, helping Georgia take a 4031 advantage in rebounds.

suburb of Wauwatosa, made the

-h,"We would rather not get to

qll~ring section behind the
~nc}1 included his parents,
!liiUldmother, uncle and a few
6;ip1ds. ''It was great that we
\Yt;~ able to come away with a
victory, especially on the road.
I'm really happy with the way
everything went"
Marquette still hasn't figured
out Louisville's defense.
The Golden Eagles (16-5, 64
Big East) shot 32 percent from
the field. In their previous
matchup last month, Louisville
dominated 71-51 in Freedom
Hall by holding Marquette to
30.4 percent shooting.
"It's knowing what they like
to do," Louisville coach Rick
Pitino said. "We've been playing
against each other so long, we run
the same stuff. We know each
other very well. We have a better
inside attack than they do."
· Louisville (17-6, 7-3) didn't
have nearly as tough a time as last
season, looking well rested after
the easiest win in its short Big
East history, 87-50 over Rutgers
on Saturday.
The Cardinals jumped all over
their former Conference USA
rival from the start thanks to
Edgar Sosa, who scored 14 of his
18 points in the first half.
''I didn't plan on coming out
and scoring like that," Sosa said.
"This is a team that has kind of
become our rival. We take a lot of
these games personal. We want to
win every time we play
Marquette."
Marquette came in with a
three-game winning streak that
including its first conference road
win of the season at Cincinnati on
Saturday. But it trailed by nine
early and never made a run, stifled by its inability to make shots.
After Marquette scored twice
early to start the second half,
Smith answered, knocking down
back-to-back 3s to make it 40-28.
He hollered at his teammates
after sinking the second shot to
fire them up.
"I was just trying get the team
pumped up," Smith said. "The
shots were in the stride of the
game and just felt good. It was a
big boost to the team."
Pitino said Smith has been
one of his best players since coming to Louisville lao;t year.
''He had an excellent freshman year and he's having an outstanding sophomore season.
Probably consistently from start
to finish the best on the team,"
Pitino said. ''He's a great guy.
He's a very good athlete."
After Smith's shots, Lazar
Hayward, leading Marquette
with 13.7 points and 6.3
rebounds per game, picked up
his fourth foul with 13:58 to play
and took a seat as the Golden
Eagles never cut the lead back to
single digits.
Hayward finished with 2-of10 from the field with five points
and five rebounds. Wesley
Matthews had 15 points, and
Jerel McNeal finished with 11.
"We didn't make shots, ·we
didn' t come out with that
urgency that we needed to start
the game off and Louisville is a
good team," Matthews said.
'They're going to make you pay
if you don'tplay how you're supposed to, and that's what happened."
The Cardinals have dominated the series recently, winning
six of the last seven matchups,
including the last three in
Milwaukee, but Pitino joked
about his long-term success in
the Bradley Center.
"You obviously didn't follow
the Celti.cs, did you?" he quipped
before adding, "We were hoping
that we'd have the ball down
one, last second shot again."
No need. The Cardinals
piayed well offensively, too,
shooting 51.1 percent
''What we have to do is grow
up in a hurry. If you're not making shots, you still have to go
back and play solid defense,"
Marquette coach Tom Crean
said. ''When it comes to talking
defensively, we hit an all-time
low. When you're playing good
baske~ball teams, everyone has
to be locked in.''

"Coach (Pat) Summitt told

Parker said. "She said I needed

over and stop ta!Ong fadeaways."
With the Lady Vols' leading
by 18, the 6-foot-4 Parker
chased down a loose ball after
Chante Bowman lost control of
it at midcourt.
After the fast break, Parker
hesitated at the baseline as if
she were going to dunk but
stopped to get better control of
the ball. Then she turned around
and put it in with 8:08 left in the
game as the home crowd erupted.
The Lady Vols (20-1 , 7-0
Southeastern Conference) led
32-24 after a slow first half, but
went on a 15-6 run that ended as
Parker drove for a layup with
14:07 left to put Tennessee up
49-31.
Kentucky (11-11, 5-3) never
recovered.
Parker had four dunks last
season, including one against
rival Connecticut. She also
dunked twice in her freshman
season against Army in the
NCAA tournament.
LSU · All-American Sylvia
Fowles is the only other
women's college player to dunk
this season. Only six women
have dunked in a college game.
Parker was one of four Lady
Vols in double figures. Alexis
Hornbuckle added 13 points,
Alberta Auguste had 11 and
Nicky Anosike 10. Vicki Bangh
grabbed lO rebounds.
The Lady Vols missed 28
shots and a free throw during
the first half. The 30.3 percent
field goal shooting was their
worst first-half percentage of
the season for a team that averages 47.2 percent shooting.
"Obviously it was a game of
two different halves," Summitt
said. "In the locker room I said
we go as Candace Parker and
Alexis Hornbuckle go. They
have to bring intensity from the
opening tip to the last possession. We saw what happens
when they do that."
Tennessee warmed up a bit 2
minutes into the game as a
jumper by Shannon Bobbitt
sparked a 20-5 run that ended
on a pair of free throws by
Nicky Anosike with 7:28 left in
the half.
But the Lady Vols failed to
score in the last 2:35 before the
break, and Kentucky took
advantage
by
cutting
Tennessee's margin to 32-24 on
baskets by Sarah Elliott and
some free throws.

Kentucky shot 47.4 percent

Giants rutn
Patriots' perfectio.n, pull Super Bowl upset 1 7 -I_-: )
by BEN WALKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Ariz. - One
perfect spiral and it was over
for the New England Patriots.
Forever, fans would remember who lost this Super Bowl,
ttls much as who won.
Eli Manning looked every
bit like his older brother,
throwing that beautiful fade
route. Plaxico Burress backed
up his brazen prediction,
catching the 13-yard touchdown pass with 35 seconds
left.
And with that thunderbolt,
the New York Giants became
NFL champions Sunday night.
With the crowd standing and
roaring for the entire fourth
quarter, they startled the heavily favored Patriots · - and
.hemselves, a bit- with a 1714 victory.
"Even when my part<nts
were telling me, 'You're
going to win,' I don' t know if
I believed them," said defensive end Michael Strahan,
who postponed retirement in
late August to try for this trophy.
The previously unbeaten
Pats? They finally felt the
pressure. Not from their gaudy
record, but from the kind
applied by the Giants' relentless pass rush.
"Tonight doesn't take away
from anything we have done
over the course of the season,"
New England quarterback
Tom Brady said. "We had a
great year. It's just l)nfortunate
that tonight turned out the way
it did."
The 1972 Miami Dolphins
didn't seem to mind too much.
They're protective of their 170 mark that season and don't
want anyone to match their
unblemished record.
"The Patriots had a great
season, but it shows just how
ditficult it is to go undefeated," said then-coach Don
Shula, who was in attendance.
"Our players and our fans feel
that much more proud of our
accomplishment."
Gone was the Patriots'
chance to be the first team to
finish 19-0. Also lost was their
chance to win their fourth title
in seven seasons. Instead, they
found another way to be
marked.
While many Super Bowl
losers simply are forgotten, a
few are destined to be a part of
NFL lore. Almost 40 years
ago, the mighty Baltimore
Colts fell victim to that other
New York team and its poolside prognosticator, the Jets
and Joe Namath.
" We had an opportunity to
be special, and we let it slip
away," Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour. "We
came so close to being special.
Now, we're second class."
Burress saw the Giants'
third Super Bowl title coming.
Last week, he predicted
New York would win 23-17.
That guess drew Brady's
attention.
"We're only going to score
17 points?" he said then. "OK.
Is Plax playing defense? I
wish he had said 45-42 and
gave us a little credit for scoring more points."
Manning and the wildcard Giants (14-6) knocked
off the Brady bunch, pulling
off a frenzied, 12-play drive
that covered 83 yards in the
last 2112 minutes. Included
was Brandon Jacobs' plunge
on fourth-and-1, plus a circus
catch by David Tyree.
Tyree, who began the
game with more special
teams tackles than catches
this
season,
outjumped
Rodney Harrison for a 32yard grab on third-and-5 to
the Patriots' 24 with 59 seconds left. Harrison tried to
pull the ball free and one
point had it pinned to Tyree's
helmet.
'll don't know that there's
ever been a bigger play in the
Super Bowl than that play,"
praised Giants coach Tom
~OMMENTARY:
by DAVE GOLDBERG
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Ariz. - The
New York Giants won the
Super Bowl five weeks ago
when they did what almost
everyone said they shouldn't
do:
Play hard against N ew
England m the meaningless.
final regular-season game that
lf)he Patriots needed to become
the first team ever to finish 160.
·The Giants lost 38-35 on
that Saturday night, but they
proved in the process they
could play with a team that
most folks thought was
unbeatable.
Despite injuries to three
starters - just what those who
thought they should rest for
the playoffs had feared - that
game propelled them to road
wins in Dallas and Green Bay,
against the teams that finished
with by far the best records in
the NFC.
"When we lost that game to
New England, we played
against the best team in the
league as well as anyone had
played," said Michael Strahan,
who finally won a Super Bowl
ring in his 15th season. "We
felt that if we could play with
them, we could play with anyone."
They did. With the help of
what Giants coach Tom
Coughlin called "maybe the
most amazing play ever made
in a Super Bowl."
It came on a third-and-five
from the New York 44 with
1: 15 left. Eli Manning seemed
about to be swallowed by the
Patriots' Jarvis Green. But he
escaped, rolled to his right and
heaved the ball 32 yards
Coughlin.
Early in the fourth quarter,
Tyree caught a 5-yard strike
from Manning for his first TD
of the season and a I 0-7 lead.
"1 am a man that really has
to capitalize on his few
opportltnities," Tyree said.
"Some things just don't make
sense and I guess you can just
put that catch there with
them."
Amazing, for more than
one reason.
"Unbelievable," Giants
receiver Amani Toomer said.
"In Friday's practice, he was
dropping everything."
When this game ended, the
Giants had their 11th straight
road win and Manning was
the MVP, the same award
brother Peyton earned last
year by leading Indianapolis
over Chicago.
"That's a position you
want to be in,'' Eli said. "You
want to have the ball in your
hands ... down , where you've
got to score a touchdown."
Maybe easier to do than
watch.
Peyton was in a private
box and punctuated each key
play by his kid brother with a
clap, shout or a wave of his
arms.
"You are pulling so hard
for Eli,'' he said. "I guarantee
you I am more involved in
the game he is playing than
any other NFL game. I was
pumped, and I got a lot of
messages telling me to calm
down because I was excited."
Brady, Patriots coach Bill
Belichick and several others
on the New England side
were gone by the very end.
Brady's last pass fell incomplete with I second left, and
Belichick ran across the field
to congratulate Coughlin. ·
The officials determined
there was one more play left.
With many Patriots off to the
locker room, Manning took a
final knceldown in New
England territory.
As for how difficult the
loss was, Belichick said: "I
don't rank them. It's disappointing."
Fined for spying on the
Jets' coaches in the season
opener, Bel ichick and the
Patriots had every right to
believe they would win this
time. Even though the Giants
played them tough in a 38-35
loss at the Meadowlands in
their last game of the regular
season, New England was a
two-touchdown favorite.
But Brady, a two-time
Super Bowl MVP, never quite

the head of David Tyree, a special teams whiz who had four
catches for 35 yards in the 16.game regular season.
Tyree, who earlier had
caught a 5-yard touchdown
pass, somehow pinned it to his
head and came down with the
ball along with two Patriots
trying to knock it loose. That
put the ball on the New
England 24. Four plays later,

J3ob Knight only did what he
thought was right, always
by JIM O'CONNELL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pick a list regarding coaching and Bob Knight was at the
top of it or not far away.
Wins. National championships. Tirades. Respect.
Loathing.
What Knight did while runlfi,ng a college basketball program or a U .S. national team
always made headlines good and bad.
How he interacted with others, whether they played for
him, worked for him, coached
against him, officiated his
games or tried to report on
him, added to the complex persona he developed over a lifetime of basketball.
The one thing he made sure
everybody knew right away
was' that he really didn ' t care
what you thought of him.
But if he respected you, you
and others knew it. His loyalty
to mentors such as Fred Taylor
and Pete Newell never
wavered. His long relationships with former players such
as Steve Alford, Quinn
Buckner and Isiah Thomas
stayed strong well after their
eli gibility
e nded.
Even
through feuds real and
imagined - Knight always
spoke highly of those he let in
his inner circle.
Whenever Knight makes
headlines there's a package of
. deo highlights ready to roll
- the chair he sent flyin g
across the court and his contorted face after being asked a
question before a NCAA tournament game that contained
the phrase "game face."
The list of public transgressions goes on as long as the list
of his coaching accomplishments.
Does a tossed chair negate a
. national championship? Does
the tape of a practice when he
allegedly grabbed a player by
the throat wipe out the most
wins in Division I history?
Does a confrontation with a
police officer in Puerto Rico
offset an Olympic gold medal?
That will be the debate
about Knight lon g after
Monday's decision to resign as
the coach at Texas Tech. When
do wins and titles outweigh
boorishness and bullying?
But being Bob Knight
means you can throw a wrench
into that discussion.
There have been several
times during my two decades
covering college basketball
where Knight's other side has
been on display.
Knight used to hold court
for his contemporaries every
year at the Final Four's open
practices when his teams
weren't involved. Up in the
stands, Knight was surrounded
by a cadre of coaches, who
always seemed to be leaning
forward to make sure they didn' t miss a word.
After his Indiana team
played•an early round game at
the Maui Invitational, Knight
stood in a breezeway at the
Lahaina Civic Center for at
least 30 minutes, covering
topics including deep sea fishing, an emotional visit to the
Pearl Harbor memorial and
what needed to be done to
make college basketball better.
History was one subject
you could always approach
Knight about, and there was
always hunting and fishing. It
wasn't often either would lead
to where the questioner wanted to head, but you could see
there was plenty of passion
for things other than basketball.
For every player who
transferred from Knight's programs1 there was one whom
he helped tremendously without le tting anybody know .
The stories of how he he lped
former Indiana player Landon
Turner, who was paralyzed in
an automobile accident, show
a side of Knight he didn't
want us to see.
VVhen he coached the
United States to the Olympic
gold medal in Los Angeles in
1984 with one of the greatest
amateur teams ever assembled, Knight made sure
Newell was around the. team
from the start to give them a
perspective different from his.
Knight made sure the players
lifted Newell to their shoulders after the gold medal
game to show their appreciation and respect.
Can this be the same man
who once had a donkey with a
Purdue hat as a guest on his
television show? Can this be
the same man who was fired
after 27 years at Indiana
because he couldn't follow a
zero-tolerance policy regarding his behavior?
Yes.
The numbers and facts of
Knight's coaching career are
easy to spew: 902 wins; three
national
championships,
including the last team to win
it all and go unbeaten; 29 seasons of 20 or more wins ; 28
NCAA tournament appearances; an Olympic gold
medal.
So are the negatives, some
of which occurred in his sixplus seasons at Texas Tech,
the program he turned around
after bein g fired at Indiana.
Have we heard the last of
the 67 -year-old Knight?
Probably not. You can be sure
he' ll still provide an opinion
on how he disagrees with college players being allowed to
leave for the NBA after one
season in school.
If there is something going
on that Knight feels is hurting
the game he is leaving to hi s
son, Pat, and other coaches,
he will let the · world know
about it.
And you can bet it won't
be sugarcoated .

Develop healthy heart habits
message of annual luncheon
by KATHY J. PRATER
FEATURES EDITOR
If you're a woman, you know it's
true - women tend to put themselves, and their health, on the back
burner while stliving to meet the
demands of a busy lifestyle and,
simultaneously, often striving to
meet the needs of others.
The accompanying stress of such
a lifestyle, along with unhealthy
choices, put women at a much higher risk of heart disease than many
are often aware of. If polled,
chances aie that many would say
that breast cancer is the number one
killer of women in America. Not so,
however, as statistics show that I in
every 2.6 deaths among women are
due to cardiovascular disease; compared to 1 in every 30 deaths among
women being due to breast cancer.
Though both are causes for concern, due to heightened awareness
campaigns, most women are now
aware of the need for annual breast
exams; not so. necessarily, of the
need for concern in regard to the
very real dangers of heart disease
and stroke for women.
Thus, the American Heart
Association's "Go Red for Women"
campaign to focus awareness on the
threat of heart disease among
women. Bringing the message home
to Floyd County, Highlands
Regional Medical Center and Mrs.
Jean Dorton paired up this past
Friday morning to bring the second
annual "Go Red for Women" luncheon to area residents.
Bringing that message to those in
attendance Friday morning, Dr.
Ayesha
Sikdcr,
HRMC
Pulmonology/Board of Trustees. Dr.
Ghassan Dalati and Dr. Vaughn
Payne, HRMC Cardiology. and Mrs.
Lynn Mullins, heart attack survivor,
each took a tum in speaking and
relating the message that heart disease, though with the potential to be
fatal , is also "predictable, preventable, treatable, and in some
cases, irreversible," as said by Dr.
Sikder.
The key is in helping women to
become aware that healthy lifestyle
choices can go a long way in preventing heart disease. Choosing to
exercise daily, have regular cholesterol screenings, maintain a healthy
weight, and to not smoke are among
the most important things a woman
can do to help keep heart disease
from affecting her life. Having one's
blood pressure checked regularly
along with blood sugar levels are
also important.
Avoiding stress, though many
times not possible. is also a key to
maintaining a healthy heart, and a
healthy attitude. ·'Attitude plays a
big factor," said Dr. Sikder. "All in

Gonna Be a Bear
In this life, I'm a woman. In
my next life, I'd like to come
back as a bear. You see, when
you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep
for six months. Yep, I could
deal with that.
Before you hibernate,
you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. T could deal with
that, too.
When you're a girl bear,
you birth your children (which
are the size of walnuts) while
you're sleeping. When you
awake, you find partially
grown, cute, cuddly cubs. J
could definitely deal with that.
If you're a momma bear,
everyone knows you mean
business. You swat anyone
who bothers your cubs. If your
cubs get out of line, you swat
them, too. Again, I could deal
with that.
And, last but not least, if
you're a bear. your mate
EXPECTS you to wake up
growling! He EXPECTS that
you will have hairy legs and
excess body fat.
YUP! Gonna come back as
a bear!!
'Til next week, keep on
smiling and may God bless!

croaked
louder:
roosters
cmwed late1 bi rds flew lower ·
and p1gs squealed more. And,
if an old farmer saw his pigs
gathering leaves and straw. he
knew a big storm was on the
way.
These of course, weren't
the only predictors. A dog eating grass: birds all lined up on
a telephone wire. and flies
gathering hem ily on the

knows about the stripes on the

many of our anccst01 s also
depended on the Thank sgiving

ahead if the turkey's breastbone was purple.
Then there was the familiar
ditty: "If spiders build their

weather is coming soon.'
Another 'iimple J ittle saying
that helped in long-range phmning was. · " Wa1111 Ch r istm~ts

Though
today' s
busy
lifestyles are a factor in contributing to high stress levels,
Dl'. Sikder emphasized that
daily exercise, along with
being a heart healthy activity,
is also a major stress reducer.
"Exercise can reduce the risk
factor of heart disease by forty
percent," she said.
Doing everything right,
however, still does not always
completely insure that heart
disease won't ·strike, as evidenced by the story of Mrs.
Lynn Mullins, who spoke to

"I lived what I thought was

" said. "1 exercised, even to lift": i(lg weights, I made what I

As Mullins continued with

her story, her related to the

1
•• high stress/high demanding
C(\reer and how, when her body
: began to tell her that "some'; tfiing was wrong," she made
• , the mistake of "ignoring my

' ing."
After surviving a heart
attack and being rushed to the
' emergency room, Mullins now
, advises other women to "listen

to your body, it doesn' t lie."
"Pay attention to what your
body is saying. if it doesn ' t
feel normal. it isn ' t...Go red ,
listen to your heart," she said.

Floyd County Schools were closed
Thursday and Friday this week after
what school officials are calling "widespread illness", among staff and students throughout the district.
"We have a tremendous amount of
illness, and it is being reflected in
absences among students, teachers and
staff," said Henry Webb, superintendent of Floyd County Schools.

A public health announcement was
issued by the Kentucky Department of
Public Health on Thursday saying that
the "widespread" classification is an
indication of the highest levels of
influenza activity.
"We are letting residents know that
it is not too late to vaccinate against flu
and pneumonia, especially since there
is a plentiful supply of flu vaccine this
year," said William Hacker, M.D.,
commissioner of DPH and acting
undersecretary for health at the cabinet
for Health and Family services. "An
annual Flu vaccine - either the flu
shot or the nasal-spray flu vaccine- is
the best way to reduce the chances of
getting the flu."
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
a influenza infection can cause fever,
headache, cough, sore throat, runny
nose, sneezing, and body aches and
that flu infections are responsible for
approximately 200,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths a year in the

Kentucky grapples with a
nearly billion-dollar shortfall
over the next two years.
Medicaid Commissioner
Elizabeth Johnson said the
state was looking at everything
in hopes of reining in the behemoth health plan's annual

Students to lead·Pikeville
College Phonathon
PIKEVILLE :-- Pikeville
College's Student Government
Association (SGA), along with
several other student-led
groups, will take a leading role
in this year's Phonathon, lending their excitement and
school spirit to 'the annual
event.
Each year, the College
selects a chairperson to help
organize, plan and promote the
Phonathon, an eight-night
event that helps generate
$ 175,000 in new pledges and
gifts for the student scholarship fund. This year's search
for a chairperson turned
inward as the College asked
the SGA and college student
groups to lead the effort.
"For the past few years, student involvement continues to
increase at our Phonathon,"
said Terry Spears, vice president for advancement "Our
students have a strong eommitmenl to the College and
community involvement and
participate knowing how much
this event benefits all of our
students . We thought it would
be a good idea to let the students who work so hard at the
event be recognized and
rewarded for their leadership."
The College will still utilize
the volunteer services of others, too. "We've been fortunate

to have great leaders as chairpersons and volunteers in the
past. Each year, we have
dozens of community and •
campus volunteers, including
our faculty and staff, alumni,
educators, business professionals and civic groups. We
still need those volunteers."
Pikeville College provides
more than $4 million annually
in undergraduate scholarships
and financial assistance, with
more than 90 percent of its students benefiting from this
funding. The Phonathon is an
important event helping .the
College obtain the funds for
these scholarships.
SGA President Eugene
Sisco ill, and President-elect
Ryan Stratton, along with
other SGA members, will help
coordinate student groups and
individual students' volunteer
efforts, including creating
friendly competitions among
!he students. Groups will be
e ligible for rewards which
may be used in their co-cmricular activities.
The 2008 Phonathon will
be in Sturgill Board Room on
the third t1oor of Record
Memorial on eight evenings Feb. 11- 14 and 18-21. The
room will be open from 5 p.m.
to 9 p.m., and at other tirrics, as
volunteer callers are available.
Gifts of appreciation will be
provided to all volunteer
callers, and prizes will be

Black church leaders to·hold
lawmakers accountable on casinos
by ROGER ALFORD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANKFORT Black
church leaders arc promising to
hold Kentucky lawmakers
accountable if they support a
proposal that would legalize
casinos to generate more revenue for state government.
The
African-American
Fellowship issued the warning
at a news con lerence at the
Capitol on Wednesday.
"We cannot fund government by making losers of our
citizens," said the Rev. Edgar
Wallace, pastor of Second
Christian Church in Midway.
"Government should prosper
when its people prosper."
Wallace said members or
more than 70 congregations in
the fellowship want lawmakers
to take a strong stand against a
proposed constitutional amendment to legalize casinos in the
state, or face political retribution. Church leaders fear casinos will lead to addiction, bankruptcies and broken families.
Gov. Steve Beshear wants
lawmakers to approve a ballot
relerendum that, if ratilied by
voters, would lead to the legalization or casinos. The black
church leaders contend that
lawmakers who vote tor such a
referendum arc actually taking
a stand to legalize casinos.
"They have to say T' m for it
or against it, and we can't let
them get away with saying,
'Let the people decide,""
Wallace said.
Although Kentucky has a
long tradition ot wagering at
horse tracks, state law specifically forbids casinos. Beshear
made a proposal to legalize
casinos a centerpiece in his
campaign last year against former Gov. Ernie Fletcher, saying
such a move would generate
$500 million a year in additional revenue for state government.
Senate President David
Williams,
a
Burkesville
Republican who opposes legalizing casinos, said lawmakers
know the political risk'\ they
would be taking by voting tor
such a measure. But he said the
measure isn't dead.
Beshear spokesman Dick
Brown said the casino legislation is being finalized and
should be liled in the House by
early next week. The issue has
sparked healed debate in the
Capitol, and has led to a number of protests by people who
oppose ca-.inos.
"''m actually surprised it
wasn't submitted before now,
given what a large and contentious issue il is and given the
clear divisions on the issue,"
Northern Kentucky University
political scientist Michael
Baranowski said. "l would
think filing it this late gives
opponents an opportunity to
run out the clock on it.''
Wallace said lawmakers
would have "abdicated their
responsibility" if they approve
a referendum to let voters
decide the issue.
"We need to let them know
if they vote wrong on this issue,
we will decide," Wallace said.
A number of other Kentucky
religious groups have taken
stands against the casino movement, incfuding the Kentucky
Council of Churches and the
780,000-member Kentucky
Baptist Convention.
Bruce Williams, a pastor of
Bates Mcm01ial Baptist Church
in Louisville, said he is sympathetic to the state's financial
woes - a nearly $900 million
budget shortfall over the next
two years. But, Williams said,
'·a fiscal crisis is no excuse for
poor public policy."
John Mark Hack, head of
the antigamBling group Say No
to Casinos. said the AfricanAmerican Fellowship's stand
against ca'\inos is monumental.
"This is a group ot folks
who likely supported Beshear
in his election,'' Hack said.
'They're tired of their communities being exploited in an
unfair way."
clear, very concise and very
consistent," he said.
MSHA's computer l.ystcm,
meanwhile, is being reprogrammed to eliminate problems such as automatically
dropping citations when a
penalty hadn' t been assessed
within I R months, he said.
The new program will automatically send citations for
assessment unless specifically
held by a regional oflice and
any citations that haven't hccn
assessed within II months,
said Stickler. who declined to
set a specific timetable for fixing the system.
Separately, Stickler said
MSHA is focusing on assessing penalties for citations less
than 18 months old and trying

Editorial roundup
Rattle Creek (Mich.) Enquirer; on Americanforeigll aid:
... After nearly two years of hearings and interviews, the government
HELP (Helping to Enhance the Livelihood of People) Commission issued a
report last month calling for major reform in the way American foreign aid is
delivered. It advocates a nev. business model that promotes locally led development that emhraces innovation, encourages research and development and
is llexible in its programming to xes pond to needs more quickly.
While the HELP Commission's recommendations would include rewriting
the Foreign Assistance Act, there also arc simpler steps that could be taken
without delay and yet have an important impact.
One such step, advocated by President Bush in his State of the Union
address, would be for Congress to change the law that requires food supplies
for foreign aid to he bought in the United States.
While we have no objection to American fanners bcnc1iting from foreign
aid programs, requiring that all food aid come from the United States can
hamper cfforlS to deliver 10od to disaster areas in a timely manner. It sometimes can take months to get food from the United States to famine-stricken
areas where there is a dcspcmtc need. In such situations. aid organizers
should have the option of purchasing food from closer sources that can alleviate hunger more quickly.
Changing the law also could help farmers in developing countries by
opening up aid markets to them.
Yet it appcan. unlikely that Congress will make this change and eliminate
a barrier to providing timely help to those who need it most. ...
The Boston Globe, on President Rush~ budget:
President Bush's $3.1 trillion budget for 2009, released yesterday, doesn't
have any chance of passing Congress without extensive revisions. But since it
is submitted in his last full year in office, the hudget is a statement of his
legacy, which can be summed up in five words: wars, tax cuts. budget
deficits.
Defense spending would approach $515.4 billion, the highest amount,
adjusted for inflation, since World War ll. ... Bush, when he leaves office,
will be the 11rst president to leave two unfinished wars lo his successor....
In the long-range forecasts that are part of the budget. Bush proposes to
extend tax cuts beyond 2011, when they arc due to expire, even though the
beginnings of the baby boomers' retirement will put m1precedented stresses
on Medicare. Bush estimates that the hudget will he balanced by 2012, with
the tax cuts in effect. To eliminate the deficits, he had to play tricks with
defense spending, seek cut<; in many domestic programs. arbitrarily restrain
the growth of Medicaid and Medicare, and neglect a permanent ftx in the
Alternative Minimum Tax, which will bite deep into the middle class unless it
is amended to target the truly wealthy, its original intent. ...
Congress and the people would never go along with the stingy allocations
for domestic programs. And lhe wars in Iraq and Alghanislan will impose
strains on the budget for years that Bush refuses to calculate. The president is
setting up his successor for a major fight over restoring tax rates to their
1990s levels to sustain vital federal programs, both at home and abroad.
Los Angeles Times, 011 the renewed interest in presidential politics:
Tt's hard to say what prompted Americans to stop caring about their president, but it might have been Richard Nixon. Voter turnout for presidential
elections was notth of 60 percent in lhe 1960s. but dropped to 55 percent in
1972 and has never climbed ahove that mark since. The cynicism may be
nearing an end ....
Tt isn't just the turnout numbers that are rising. Presidential debates this
season have become mind-numbingly common. Each party has held about 20
since last April, most of them relegated to cable or local TV. Yet viewership
has heen surprisingly high ....
... This election is also in part a referendum on George W. Bush's leadership....
Yet more than anything else, it is the c'andidatcs themselves who arc
injecting rare excitement into the contest. On the Repuhlkan side, Mike
Huckabee entices evangelical Christians, Mill Romney hopes to be the choice
of fiscal conservatives, Ron Paul brings up the libertarian wing, and John
McCain ... well, the dillicu.lly in pinpointing his position on !.he conservative
spectrum probably explain~ his newfound popularity. He please~ many but
satisfies few.
The Democrats have far narrower choices ,AI Hillary Rodham Clinton
and Barack Obama are all-but identical on t11e issues that matter. Yet it's clear
from turnout numbers that the Democrats arc far more energized than
Republicans, and it isn't hard to see why: Electing either a woman or an
Aliiean American man to the presidency would be a historic lirsl, and' thesc
candidates c~rry that promise v.-ith grace.
More than that, though. these candidates have intrigued young voters ....
Their participation in this year's election couldn't be more welcome.

Mills thanks
those who stood
behind her
My name is Tina Mills. and l am
a loan ofticer/vice president of the
First Guaranty Bank in Martin. In
March 2007, I was changed by the
federal governmenL with conspiring
with a drug dealer to place loans
against her properly so her property
could not be seized by the federal
government. Later ifl2007, the federal government charged me with helping the same drug dealer to conceal
cash deposits. Your newspaper
reported on these charges and my
case in general. ·
ln December 2007, I stood trial
before a jury of my peers. At the end
of the trial, I was found not guilty.
Yow: newspaper failed to report the
not guilty verdict.
I write this letter for two purposes.
First, so that your readers will know
that I was found not guilty. Second,
and more importantly, I write this letter to thank the people who believed
in me and stood behind me throughout this ordeal.
It is a terrible thing to be charged
with crimes by the federal government. Since March of last year, both
my family and I have lived with the
possibility of my going to federal
prison. To say that it disrupted all of
our lives is an understatement.
When you are charged with a
crime, the law says you arc presumed
innocent, but some people don't see it
that way. Some think that if you arc
charged, you must have done something wrong.
But many people stood behind me,
including my friends, my family and
my customers, coworkers and associates at the First Guaranty Bank. To
those people, 1 write this Jetter as a
public statement of my eternal gratitude.

Guest ·Co I u m n
House week in
review
by STATE REP. HUBERT COLLINS
Facing a sluggish state and national economy and looking at daunting
revenue shortfalls, Gov. Steve
Beshear last week offen~d lawmakers
an $18.6 billion state spending plan
for the next two years that would
require most areas or stale government to cut spending. while preserving base funding for public schools
and increasing spending in a few key
areas like Medicaid and building
constmction at state universities.
The governor explained in his
budget address to lawmakers last
Tuesday that there really is no new
money lor 1slate agencies over the
next two years since the state is facing a $580 million revenue gap next
fiscal year and a $306 million gap in
fiscal 2010. Meeting prior commitments like K-12 education, Medicaid
and a few "cntical needs" the governor mentioned-including funding
. for the Bucks for Brains university
research trust fund and more prison
beds to provide housing for medium
security inmates- will require what
he called "greater management efficiency and cost containment."
To protect our public schools, the
governor recommended that SEEK
(Support Education Excellence in
Kentucky) funding he maintained at
its current level of $3,822 per pupil
over the nexltwo years. Most school
districts- and the lawmakers who
represent them-would prefer Lhat
SEEK funding he increased over the
next biennium to cover the growing
needs of public education, although
most of us recognize that those needs
will have to be balanced with the
necessity to fund other go'>·ernment
services. We will explore all possible
options in the House budget commit
tee in coming weeks as we draft a
hudget hill based in patt on the governor's recommendations.
Unlike
K-12
education,
Kentucky's publiG colleges and uni
vcrsities have not been spared spending cuts to get the state budget in balance. This will leave them with fewer
resources than they need for steady
growth in the next biennium.
Recognizing this, the governor
has suggested that lawmakers make a
long-term investment in postsecondary education over the next two
years by approving $113.7 million in
state-supported bonds and $519.5
million in agency bonds tor construction projects at the schools, including
university construction projects
vetoed by Gov. Ernie Fletcher in
2006. The schools would be allowed
to pay off the agency bonds without
relying on the state to help pay the
debt un(ler HB 111, which passed the
House last week and is now before
the Senate.
The largest amount of new funding--over $500 million-in the governor's budget proposal would go to
Medicaid to maintain services for the
over
722,000
low-income
Kentuckians who receive this medical assistance from the state.
While transfers from various state
government funds and the slate's
Budget Reserve Trust Fund- the socalled Rainy Day Fund -- will be
needed to meet all these budget needs
over the next two fiscal years, the
governor ha<; said he intends to protect the state's tobacco settlement
money set aside for agriculture and
coal severance funds collected on
mined coal and returned to coal counties. He did recommend, however,
that the state use some of the coal
severance money to fund mine-safety
legislation enacted in the last two sessions and $50 million in bonds to
meet the water and sewer infrastructure needs in coal counties.
A proposal from the governor that
addresses the critical lack of funding
for state employee pensions is forthcorning, he said. although he did
address state employee salary
increases in his budget proposal.
Employees would receive two percent raises in each year of the biennium under his plan.
Also forthcoming from the governor is a constitutional amendment
that would allow Kentucky voters to
decide at the polis whether to allow
limited expanded gaming in the
Commonwealth. House members
have been studying the possible
impact of expanded gaming on our
slate in a special subcommittee for
the past few weeks. The work of the
subcommittee will help us decide
whether to put such a proposal on the
ballot lor voters to ultimately decide.
The House budget committee will
begin working on its draft of the budget soon. Meanwhile, work on other
legislation has been steadily passing
out of committee and the House
chamber.
One bill that passed the full House
last week was House Bill 91, which
would prohibit school bullying and
other forms of harassment between
students, and require school districts
to have procedures in place to handle
reports of such behavior. The legislation passed by a vote or 96-0 and now
goes to the Senate for its consideration. It will be joined there by HB
250, a bill aimed at strengthening
Executive Branch ethic rules that
passed the House by a vote of 94-0
last Wednesday.
Legislation that would eliminate
so-called ''runoft" primary elections
in gubernatorial races also made
headway last week when HB 18
passed the House by a 92-3 vole last
Thursday. The bill would repeal a
state law that requires the top vote
getter in a gubernatorial primary who
receives less than 40 percent of the
vote to face off in a runoff election
with the second highest vote getter.
Instead, the candidate with lhe most
votes in the p1ima:ry, no matter the
percentage, would win that election
and move on to the general eleclion
in the fall. HB 18 now goes to the
Senate, which passed a similar runoff
proposal last week.

Up.iversity presidents
talk of pending cuts,
tuition increases
by JOE BIESK
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANKFORT - Budget
cuts at the magnitude proposed
by Gov. Steve Beshear would
stifle the University of
Kentucky's effmts to become a
nationally leading research
school, school president ·Lee
Todd said.
Recently, Kentucky has
gained national attention for
its efforts aimed at becoming a·
Top 20 research school and has
landed top faculty from across
the country, Todd said. The
university has also seen
advancements in education
achievements and has helped
create new jobs, Todd said.
"We're such a sports-mania
state that we know if we lose
momentum in a football game
or we lose momentum in a basketball game we might lose
that game," Todd told a legislative panel Thursday. ''I'm
here to tell you that the
momentum that we have now
is at risk. And, if we lose this
momentum it's going to be
hard to recover."
Economic forecasters have
predicted Kentucky's state
government is facing a $900
million shortfall over the next
two fiscal years. That's on top
of a $434 million hole in the
current budget that expires on
June 30.
Gov. Steve Beshear, faced
with sagging revenues and spiraling hikes in the cost of
Medicaid and the state's prison
system, has proposed an $18.5
billion two-year spending plan
for the state. It calls for 12 percent cuts to public universities,
along with numerous state
agencies and government programs.
Education officials across
the state have bemoaned the
proposed cuts, claiming that
funding reductions of that
magnitude would be disastrous
to their efforts.
Todd said UK's share of the
proposed cuts would amount
to $50 million. The university
would have to eliminate programs, reduce personnel and
increase tuition to cope, Todd
said.
"When people just talk
about a 12 percent cut and then
say., 'Tighten your belt,' we
can't cancel a few subscriptions to foreign magazines. We
can't cut the funds of the student center and make them eat
rolls instead of bacon," Todd
said. "I mean, this is a serious
cut."
University of Louisville
President James Ramsey anticipated a similar scenario at his
institution.
U of L's portion of the proposed cuts would total $25
million, a move that would
take the university back to
2001 funding levels, Ramsey
told the panel.
Like Kentucky, Ramsey
said U of L would need to
increase tuition, cut some
financial aid · and other programs to offset the proposed
cuts.
"All those things have to be
put on the table with a cut of
this magnitude," Ramsey said.
Community colleges across
the state would face large cuts,
said Michael McCall, president
of the
Kentucky
Community and Technical
College System. Overall, the
schools would be cut by $33.5
million, McCall said.
That would mean fewer
classes would be offered to
students, enrollment in some
programs would be ~ capped
and there would be a reduction
in part-time faculty and
administrative staff, McCall
said. Some buildings may also
have to have shorter business
hours on nights and weekends,
McCall' said.
Fourteen new buildings on
community college campuses
across the state that were
scheduled to open over the
next two years would not,
McCall said.
"I think a bomb's been
on
education,"
dropped
McCall said.
Some lawmakers urged university officials to raise support for raising taxes or offer
new ways for the state to raise
money.
Rep. Derrick Graham, DFrankfort, said university officials had "an obligation and a
responsibility" to raise support
and awareness throughout the
state.
"I think we're in this together," Graham said.

The third organization,
Appalshop, creates opportuni-
ties for youth to experience

the
Appalachian
Media
Institute that allows students to
become film makers. Art
Menius, director of Appalshop,
accepted the award.
"Appalshop connects castern kentucky with the rest of
the world thought its films and
other projects," said Turner.
Appalshop allows the people
of central Appalachia to tell
their own stories in their own
voices. Its work touches on
history and cultures as well as
contemporary issues and seeks
the connections among them."
In July of 2007, all totaled
the three organitations were
awarded $178.776 by the
Kentucky Arts Coun'Cli, with
funding from the state and
local level.
Representative Coml}s said,
"these programs enrich our
lives, while showing the rest
of the world what Appalachia
is truly about."
The Kentucky Arts Council
is a state agency within the
commerce Cabrnet which creates opportumties for kentuckians to participate and benefit
from the arts. Funding for the
council is provided by the
State legislature and the
~ational Endowment for the
Arts.
Budget
• Continued from p1
vices, including a 12 percent
hit to public universities.
Despite the state's budget
woes, Beshear has said he's
resistant to any tax increases
and believe's the state needs to
spend less.
Nevertheless, some lawmakers in the governor's own
political party are pushing for
an increase in the state's tax on
cigarettes - currently 30cents-per-pack. A plan in the
House would raise that tax by
70 cents to $1. The Legislative
Research Commission has
estimated that a hike of that
level would bring an extra
$205 million.
Beshear's proposed budget
called for more money to the
health plan that covers more
than 722,000 low-income and
disabled Kentuckians. Even
so, Johnson said, the program
00 VW Jet
is facing a shortfall of more
th&n $360,000 over the next
two fiscal years.
Officials right now arc not
looking to cut services or
enrollment but are hoping to
save money elsewhere, she
said.
Possibilities include saving
money by better managing
Medicaid patients and their
pharmacy usage and reviewing
the state's reimbursement
rates, Johnson said.
Some patients receiving
Medicaid benefits may be
overusing the system, such as
one person who last year visited an emergency room 29
times in a month, she said.
Working with a Medicaid
recipient such as in that case
could lead to overall financial
savings, Johnson said.
"We can do better,"

without more money in the
Johnson said.
Also, the state would con- state's coffers. Stein called on
sider expanding a program in lawmakers to "raise taxes in
which the Medicaid program order to stem the problems we
pays health insurance premi- have here."
Rep. Tom ,Burch, Dums. CmTcntly 11 people arc
enrolled in the program, .Louisville, backed hiking the
cigarette tax specifically.
Johnson said.

Lawmaker strikes back at

A
FRANKFORT
Kentucky lawmaker who was
the subject or crilical newspaper editmials and cartoons last
year is striking back.
State Rep. Jim Gooch, DProvidence, is pushing legislation that would essenLially bar
editorial writers and cartoonists from the House and Senate
floors.
The western Kentucky
Democrat was ridiculed last
year in newspapers for
attempting to quash a coal
mine safety bill and for claiming global warming is a hoax.
One editorial cartoon showed
Gooch in a hot tub with King
Coal.
Gooch's bill would list editorial writers and cartoonists
as lobbyist'>. In Kentucky, lobbyists aren't allowed in the
House or Senate while lawmakers are in session.

Thompson said Gooch's hill is
an obvious First Amendment

to pass into law.

Thompson said. "It's a way of
getting back at those who use

his intention was not to bar

FRANKFORT Last

On
Wednesday, Cave
returned to bipartisan support
as a Senate panel reviewed his
appointment to the Mine
Sarety Review Commission by
former Gov. Ernie Fletcher.
The Senate State and Local
Government Committee did
not vote on Cave's confu·malion to the three-member cornmission, but Republicans and
Democrats gave him a warm
welcome.
Stale Sen. Tom Jensen, RLondon, said Cave is "very
thorough" in his work and the
commission ·would be "wellserved" with Cave as a member.

FRANKFORT - Women
would be required to undergo
ultrasounds and he allowed to
see the images before undergoing abortions, under legislation
that's
steamrolling
through the state Senate.
State Rep. Jack Westwood,
R-Crescent Spling, said ultrasound technology produces
images that women should be
allowed to sec before they terminate pregnancies.
Westwood showed rellow
lawmakers images of an
unborn baby at 10 weeks gestation, one showing a baby's
tiny foot and toes.
"The idea is that what is
inside this woman is nor a
mass of tissue, but, in fact, is a
live baby," said Westwood,
sponsor of the legislation that
has drawn vocal opposition
from abortion rights supporters.
The
Senate
Judiciary
Committee approved the measure, which also adopts the
federal ban on so-called "partial birth abortions," 9-0 on
Thursday. Tl now goes to the
full Senate for consideration.
Kathy Rutledge, a member
of the anti-abortion group
Operation Outcry, told lawmakers that she has been
haunted for three decades by
her decision to terminate a
pregnancy !n 1977. She said if
she had seen an ultrasound
image, she never would have
done it.

Here are some things we do. We
hide out in the bed, so we don't have to

and don't come home until late. We
volunteer for things to keep us out of

you an excuse. When you walk in the

you have to face the clutter, it stops you
dead in your track<>. Since you don't
know where to start, you do nothing.

Q
T recently had my first bladder
il!fection. My friends tell me
tlzat all . women get bladder
r.fi
ns, and it~~ norma( to have
them. They were surprised that tlzis
was my first at age 37. Are they
right? is this normal? Willi keep getting them?
lnfcctions in the bladder and
urinary system are more fre·
quenl in women than in men ,
but yom friends are guilty of a bit of
over-generali/,ation. The fact is that
only about 20 percent of women ever
gel even one urinary tract infection
(UTl) in their entire lifetime.
The urinary system is made up of
three organs - your two kidneys and
A
your bladder - and connective tubes.
The tuhcs that connect the kidneys
with the bladder are called the
ureters. The larger dtameter Lube that
connects the bladder with the outside
is called the urethra. Sometimes the
kidneys and the ureters arc called the
upper urinary tract. and the bladder
and the urethra arc called the lower
urinary tract.
The urinary system is built to prevent baclctlow of urine up into the
kidneys. This is one reason that kidney infections arc much less common
than bladder infections. Kidney
infections, when they do occur,
though. are much more serious. In the
rest of today's column, I'll conccn-
THE FLoYD CouNTY TIMEs
Women can take action to
prev~nt urinary tract infections
trate on UTis of the lower urinary
tract.
In the normal course of events, the
bladder and urethra are kept rree of
bactetia because they are flushed out
frequently through urination, and
mine itself is stctilc. Utiuary tract
infections, then, are not normal in
either women or men. However, due
to the location and the shorter length
of a woman's urethra, it is easier for
her to get bacteria into the urethra.
From here bacteria can spread into
the bladder and multiply there. 'This
causes an infection in the bladder,
called cystitis.
UTis can occur in people of any
age, even infants. Tn women, the like1ihood of getting a UTI increases
with age. They are also more common during pregnancy and in diabetics.
UTls arc routinely treated with
antibiotics and usually resolve quickly. H a person develops recurrent or
chronic UTls, then his or her doctor
may prescribe a low dose antibiotic
for an extended period of time.
People who have chronic infections
may need to have special testing to
look for abnormalities of the urinary
system.
There arc several things that a
woman can do to help decrease the
tisk of getting a UTI. One is to drink
lots of water and urinate frequently.
Many women put off urinating as the
bathrooms have waiting lines or they
are limited in the number of bathroom breaks they can take during the
day. Those women often cut back on
water to keep !'rom needing to use the
bathroom. This behavior p~tt:tern can
make l,JTis more likely.
Some women seem to get UTls
from taking tub baths. They should
take showers instead. Baths can also
contr1bute to frequent UTis in young
girls.
Another preventive tip is for
women to remember to wipe from
"front t~ back" after going to the
bathroom. This helps to prevent
spreading germs from the rectal area
to the urethra. And, always urinate
before and after having intercourse to
t1ush any bacteria from the urethra.
Finally, drink cranberry juice. This
old folk remedy really docs help prevent UTI's in some women by making
the urine more acidic.

adorning the tables, along with bright red
napkins and gift bags at each place set
ting, the room looked a~ though it had
been readied for a Valentine's Day party.
Yep, T thought to myself, this looks like an
event planned to get the attention of
women.
As 1 entered the room, Dr. Ayesha
Sikder was at the podium. She immediately caught my attention when she began to
speak about how stress affects the health,
and lives, of today's women. "Amen," J
thought to myself a<: she spoke of the
working woman's "second shifl" of dirty
dishes, dirty laundry, children, pet<:, and
more. Yes, indeed, it isn't that "first shift"
that gets most of us, but that second one
awaiting at home.
As the old adage says, "Men may work
from sun to sun, but a woman's work is
never
done."
How true, how true.
.
I learned, from Dr. Sikder and the other
three speakers, that taking care or one's
heart is not an "''ll get to it later" task bur
rather a "Get on it now" task. And this
procrastinator had better be doing just
that.
Although 1 have several factors in my
favor to help prevent heart disease - I
don't smoke lor instance- T have several
others that are not so good. And, act:ording to the quiz T took while munching on
Contln~d
from p3
my "heart healthy" Cobb salad, I'm what
doctors refer to as a Type D personality.
Uh-oh. Can we say "calm down"?
At any rate, I thoroughly enjoyed the
luncheon. Tt wasn't like work at all. Tt was
like getting paid to do something fun - and
relaxing, for a change.
1' ve been wearing my "Go Red for
Women love your heart" red dress pin to
remind myself to make better choices and
I've received lots of comments on it. The
cutest having come from my youngest
daughter who asked me, ''Mom, why are
you wearing that Special K dress?"
(Grin.)
Best of all, however, I walked away
with a fresh llower arrangement door
prize. Seems that those who bad special
silver heart stickers on their programs got
to take a flower arrangement home. Lucky
me, I was the only one at my table up
front so I got to take some gorgeous red
roses and white carnations home m a
handsome silver bowl!
Maybe Valentine's Day this year ain't
gonna be so bad, after all.

the witch in Snow While gave the
princess ... the skin is such a dark red, it's
nearly black. This is another apple worth
seeking out.
B is for Berries. Yeah, we all eat
berries in the guise of jams and jellies, but
are you getting enough? Berries are high
in fiber, phytonutriently rich and have so
much to offer. You can buy them frozen
and whip them into your smoothie for an
exu·a nutrient boost. Some new ones to
try: marionberries, black raspberries and
wild blueberries (smaller than the ones
you're used to). Get going with the
·berries!
C is for cranben-y. Tllis isn't a very
sweet fruit, but it's rich in vitamin C, caldum, B vitamins and flavonoids.
Cranberry is known l'or its ability to help
with urinary tract infections, but did you
know thai cranberry is also good for helping to prevent tooth decay? Try adding
some dried cranberries to your salad this
week.
Dates arc a fruit that arc full of fiber
and flavor. Chopped up and added to a
salad, they can add a dimension all their
own. A favorite way to serve dates is
stuffed with cheese (I've used cream
cheese and blue cheese). Add some
chopped dates to your chicken salad and
see how it changes it up!
Eggfruit is something you may have a
hard time finding! This fruit's flesh bas
been compared to the texture of a hard
boiled egg (hence the name), but it's flavor is more reminiscent or pumpkin or
sweet potatoes. Eggfmir is high in iron,
beta carotene and has a healthy dose of
fiber.
F is for Fig. Fig newtons are cookies
we all grew up with. High in fiber, figs are
delicious snipped into a salad (add some
blue cheese crumbles and walnuts for
great flavor) or try fig chutney on a grilled
pork chop for a dilrerent Jlavor.
G is for grapes. There arc more varieties of grapes available than ever before.
How about Champagne grapes for example? These smaller, red grapes arc burst-
ing with Lhe same wonderful Jlavor as
their bigger counterparts. Beautiful to
look at and a perfect garnish 10 your fruit
platter, Champagne grapes deserve a tryout next time you're grape shopping!
H is Honeydew melon. A beautiful
t:reamy skin, the inside flesh is a fra!,>rant,
sort green with the sweetness of honey
making it one of the most delectable of
melons. It's available almost year-round
and is positively loaded with vitamin C.
For a mere 61 calories, you can have a
whole cup full of this juicy melon.
That's it tor now. Stay tuned ... more
fmit'l await!

Still ranked high: Bears land at No. 11 in NAIA poll
TIMES STAFF REPORT
PIKEVILLE - Last' week's overtime loss to
second-ranked Georgetown cost Pikeville
College one spot in the NAJA Div. I men's bas·
ketball poll.
Coach Kelly Wells, however, still has the
Bears headed in the right direction.
Pikeville, 18-3 on the season and 2-1 in the
Mid-South Conference, fell to No. 11 in this
week's rating after climbing to No. 10 a week
ago.
The Bears saw their 14-game win streak end
in an 87-79 overtime loss at Georgetown
College last Thursday. They rebounded, however, with a 73-70 win over Ko. 15 Campbellsville
University on Saturday afternoon.
The loss to Pikeville dropped Campbellsville
to 0-3 in the league and out of the Top 25 for the
first time all season. The Tigers are one of three
Mid-South teams getting votes but landing outside the Top 25.
The other two, Cumberlands and Lindsey
Wilson, are Pikeville's opponents this week
when league play resumes. Pikeville will visit
Lindsey Wilson on Thursday night. The Blue
Raiders are 2-l in the MSC and are tied for 29th
this week.
Cumberlands will visit Pikeville on Saturday
afternoon and missed the Top 25 by only one
point. The Patriots got 52 points while 25thranked Columbia (Mo.) got 53:
Cumberlands, also 2-1 in the MSC, will play
Pikeville Saturday afternoon in the East
Kentucky Expo Center at 4 p.m.
The three unbeaten NAJA Div. I teams are
atop the poll this week. Mountain State, which
visits Lindsey Wilson next Thesday, got all 11
first-place votes to remain atop the poll.
Georgetown is hot on its heels at No. 2.
Lee University moved up one spot and is 200. LSU-Shreveport is also up one to fourth while
Concordia (Calif.) fell two places to fifth after
an 85-81 loss to California Baptist, which
moves up two places to No. 16.
The second five arc Robert Morris (Ill.),
Oklahoma City, Lambuth (Tenn.), Westminster
(Utah) and Point Lorna Nazarene (Calif.).

Be a Bears fan

TIMES COLUMNIST
It's a question I'm asked
every basketball season by those
who casually follow our level of
play, one I can see coming from
a mile down the road but can't
do anything to stop.
"When do you guys play
Georgetown?"
I'm not going to try to lie to
you and tell you it doesn't bother me. It does. It stings, and it
pierces my soul today just as it
did the first time I got it.
When I hear it, my brain
loosely translates it:
- I don't care much about
Pikeville, but I'd like to see
Georgetown.
- Nobody else in the MidSouth carries much weight, but
I'd like to see Georgetown.
- The only game that really
means anything is Georgetown.
Let me say this: I'm sure
nobody who asks that question
means it that way. But forgive
me if that's how it feels.
Normally, when I answer that
question it's with this, and a
lump in my throat: I have no
idea. And I mean it. Trust me
when I tell you I don't circle the
date on my calendar when I first
get my schedule during the summer.
Know this about the MidSouth: Georgetown, particularly
this year, is top notch. They're
terrific. Unbeaten heading into
last night. A national title contender.
But
then
there's
Campbellsville, wHo was ranked
in the Top 10 all of December
and January. And there's West
Virginia University's Institute of
Technology, ,who was getting
votes in the poll when it came to
Pikeville.
This week, Lindsey Wilson,
Cumberlands
and
Campbellsville got votes.
It's a six-team league folks . In
the last three weeks, all of us
have at least gotten votes. Three
have been in the Top 10.
This league isn 't all about
Georgetown. It's not the SEC of
the 1960s when Kentucky could
roll out the ball rack and win by
30. There's some serious talent
in this conference.
And here's another secret:
Your hometown team is as good
as there is . Period. This team can
play. I have no idea how the
Bears did last night in Columbia
when it visited Lindsey Wilson,
but they are extremely talented.

Monday before Thanksgiving,

what have you done? Can you
remember it? Do you recall
anything about it?
J do. On the Monday before
Thanksgiving - and the holiday came early this year, if
you · n recall - · 1 was in
Bluefield with the Bears.
Down the stretch it got away
from them. Bluefield won the
game.
Since then, the Bears have
played 16 games. They've lost
once.
One single, solitary loss. Tt
came last Thursday. lt was on
the road. It was in overtime,
and to the nation's No. 2 team.
So forgive me if I think
you' re missing the boat this
season.
Pike ville College entered
last night's game with 18 wins
and three losses and a 2- 1
record in the best small-college league in the country. It
followed up the loss with a
win over Campbellsville, the
team that had been in the Top
lO most of the season.
After
lhy
game
at
Georgetown, 1 called Happy
Osborne. Happy ·is the legit
and he shoots straight. I wanted to see what he thought
about our team.
When he sent his weekly
memo to the other raters ·in the
NAlA Div. 1 poll on Monday,
he had a new message fur the
voters. "Pikeville is the real
deal," he said. Should be
taken seriously.
So let me say this kindly,
gently and bluntly: Pikeville
College
plays
host
to
Georgetown on Thursday
night, Feb. 21. I hope to see
you all there . 1 want the place
to be rocking when the teams
hit the floor that night. starting
with the ·women's game at 6.
But if you wait until then to
come to Pikeville, you're
going to miss the boat. You'll
miss two opportunities to
drive a couple of miles to see
one of the nation's elite
teams.
Tomorrow, the Bear~ play
Cumberlands, which missed
the Top 25 this week by one
single, solitary point. If someone voted them 22nd, all
they'd have had to do is make
them 21st and they'd be in the
poll. The game is at the Expo
Center at 4 p.m.
If you 're a basketball fan,
you should be there. It would
be well worth your while.
And then on Tuesday night
- this coming T uesday - the
Bears will be at the Pikeville
College Gym to play Brescia.
Tipoff is slated for 7 p .m.
Tf you love basketball. you
absolutely will not regret
coming to either or both of
tho~e games. It's bigtimc basketball. There arc three-pointers, more dunks than a UK
game and talent at every position.
Come
to
the
game
Saturday and tell me a Div. I
player quicker than Xavier
Yates, who leads the country
in steals. Or one you enjoy
more than Jell Ferguson, who
can post up or shoot the three.
Or wings you like more than
Ewan Linton, William Harris,
Haakim Johnson or Anthony
lghodaro.
And if you find a freshman
anywhere wi th more guts
than Justin Hicks, point him
out to me . Please.
And if you come, you'll
see players like Jarrod
Litzinger, Adam Simmons,
Robbie Spears and D a n
Penick, who could be starter s
on a lot of college basketball
teams.
If' you get there early,
odds are decent you'll get to
shake hands with Kelly
Wells or some member or his
hard-working staff. A better
group of people you will not
find .
The best-kept secr et in
Eastern Kentucky this year is
the Pikevi!le College Bears.
For some reason , fans and
m edia members alike are
m issing out on a team that is
15 games over .500 on the
second weekend in February.
Come on out and sec this
team. And then when you do,
remember this: The MSC
tournament is right here in
our own town in o ne month.
You can cheer the Bears to
the league title and not have
to leave home to do it.
I promise you, if you really are a basketball ran, you
won't regret it.

Patterson's late free throws lift Cats over Auburn, 66-63
by JOHN ZENOR
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUBURN, Ala. - The Kentucky
Wildcats survived the battle of teams
whitlled down to little more than tl1eir
starting lineups.
Patrick Patterson hit 3-of-4 free
throws over the final 45 seconds and
Kentucky shot a season-high 67 percent to hold on for a 66-63 win over
Auburn on Wednesday night, despite
the absence of star guard Ramel
Bradley.
The
Wildcats
(11-9,
5-2
Southeastern Conference) smely
missed lurn when Auburn started
aggressively trapping on defense and
forcing mistakes to cut down a 10point lead over the linal six minutes.
They committed 24 turnovers.
..Ir you play the way we did (in the
SEC), you usually lose," Kentucky
coach Billy Gillispie said. "We played
pretty ugly tonight hut pulled it together so I am happy about that. It's no
easy task to do something like that."
The Tigers (12-9, 2-6) played only
six players while Kentucky played a
seventh for just three minutes of the
game between two injury-depleted
teams.
Joe Crawford scored 20 points and
Patterson had 19 points and eight
rebounds for Kentucky, which held on
for a fourth consecutive SEC win.
Bradley missed the game with a
concussion sustained against Georgia
on Saturday.
A 58-48 lead all but disappeared,
and Auburn closed to within 64-63
with five quick points. Rasheem
BaiTctt hit a 3-poinrer with 30 seconds
remaining and DeWayne Reed then
had a steal and layup.
Crawford saved the Wildcats from
setious trouble with a long heave
across rnidcourt to Michael Pm1er
when Auburn nearly forced a I 0-second violation with a full-court press.
"We got a little unlucky," Auburn
coach Jeff Lebo said. "We had a trap
in the corner and another trap in the
· comer. The guy is falling down and it
was almost a 10-second count, but he
threw it almost like hockey, he iced it.
They get one on the other end there
and get the foul."
The Tigers were forc~d to foul
Ramon Harris, who made 1-of-2 free
throws with 14 seconds to play. Reed
then tried a long 3-pointer that missed
badly, and Patterson grabbed the
rebound.
"1 felt like 1 had a good look," Reed
said. "'It was lined up straight, but it
started turning when it got there."
It was the shot Lebo said he want-
ed.
'That was exactly the plan," Lebo
said. 'The last second was for Reed to
go one-on-one at the top."
Harris made one of two free throws
with 3 seconds lert and Lucas
Hargrove rebounded the rruss and
threw up a desperation shot from
before midcoun that went wide right.
The result was the nimh straight
win in the series for Kentuck.")', which
has won 23 of the last 24 meetings.
Wildcats guard Jodie Meeks remained
out with a hip injury.
Patterson and Crawford fueled
Kentucky's hot shooting performance.
PaLLerson made H-oi'- 10 baskets.
Crawford was 8-for-12 and made
three 3-pointers for the short-handed
Wildcats. Perry Stevenson scored 1Q
points before fouling out late.
Quan Prowell led Auburn with 20
points and nine rebounds. Rasheem
Barrett had 12 points, Quantez
Robertson 11 and Frank Tolbert 10.
The Tigers shot just 41 percent Md
made 5-of-18 3-pointers.
The Wildcats took advantage of a
su·ctch when Auburn missed eight
straight shots to build the 58-48 lead
on Patterson's short jumper \'lith 6:22
left.
The Tigers then started to force
mistakes.
"Tt was l"rustrating," Patterson said.
'They trapped us and we were out of
sync. We didn't come to the ball hkc
we should and help out our teammates. We JUSt turned it over so
much."
Crawford fell Bradley"s absence
had plenty to do with that. He said
Bradley was clearly not the same in
praclice early this week.
"He was kind of out of it,''
Crawford said. ''If he wuld play.
Ramel's going to play.''
Tolberr got a steal and then hit two
free throw~ with 2:06 to play to cut it
to 62 57 and make 1t a tight game.
Tolbert stole the ball near midcourl
and forced Stevenson to commit his
lifth foul to preve~ an easy layup
The Tigers had managed to overcome an eight point deficit to head
into halftime tied at ~4-all. Hargrove
tied it up with a 3 pointer from the
right corner !hat just beat the hu//er
to end the half. He couldn't repeat the
desperation buskcl al the end.
"We had our offense down."
Patterson said ol''the lirst halL "They
couldn't stop us down low in the post.
We were clicking on offense."

NASCAR PREVIEW: Hendrick still the team to beat· in 2008 .
by JENNA FRYER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Rick
Hendrick could not have had a better
year last season, when his powerful
organi7ation won I R races, a second
consecutive championship and had
three of its four drivers in the Chase.
Despite tl1at success, tl1e car owner
is anything bul content to resl on hi~
laurels in 2008. The addition of Dale
Earnhardt Jr. has created a superstar
lineup with tremendous potential to
dominate the Sprint Cup Series, and
Hendrick has encouraged all four of
them to "Accelerate in '08.''
"Right now we're tied for last place
with -l-5 other teams," he said. "We did
have a good year last year, but that's
not going to pay any bills, no! going to
get LLS to !he Chase or get us to the
(championship) stage in New York.
We've got to work hard and work
smart."
That's terrifymg news to the rest of
the garage, which tried last year hut
failed to dethrone mighty Hendrick
Motorsports.
'The 800-pound gorilla in the room
is the Hendrick organization thal
everybody's fighting," Kyle Petty.
owner and driver ror Petty Enterprises.
''Everybody pays attention to them."
With a lineup that includes twotime defending champion Jimmie
Johnson, four-time series champion
Jeff Gordon, Casey Mears and
Earnhardt, the team wa<; recently compared to the New England Patriots by
NASCAR chairman Brian France.
The Patriots tell short of their ultimate goal -losing the Super Bowl on
Sunday in an upset to the New York
Giants- but NASCAR doesn't have
an obvious challenger with the potential to end Hendrick's dominance.
That doesn't mean the teams won't
try.
"We're not coming into this year to
take a butt-whipping," said Jeff
Burton, driver for Richard Childress
Racing.
"We're not here to run second.
We're not here to talk about how good
Hendrick is. That' not why we exist.
We exist so people talk about us."
But deflecting attention from the
Hendrick juggernaut will be difficult,
especially early.
NASCAR will use its controversial
Car of Tomorrow for the entire 36race schedule this season after phasing
it into competition during 2007. Many
believe Hendrick dominated last year
because it<> enormous work force and
unlimited resources allowed the organization to get a tremendous head start
on mastering the CqT.
Even though everyone should be
on a level playing field this year, it was
clear in preseason testing that the
Hend1ick crew still has an edge.
Gordon and the No. 24 team seemed
to have mastered the car - so much
that the vocal driver has softened his
critit:ism of it
and Earnhardt was at
the top of the speed cha.rL<; last month
in Daytona.
Gordon expects the addition or
NASCAR's most popular driver to
turn the competition within the
Hendrick compound up a notch. He
and Johnson already have a nice little
rivalry, they went 1-2 in the standings
last season, and Earnhm·dt is expected
to join the fray.
''Sometimes you get a little com
placent, a Iiule too comfortable,"
Gordon said. "When someone fresh
comes in, it's nice lo see some of that
excitement."
There's also excitement al Toyota,
where the addition of Joe Gibbs
Racing has already given lhe
automakcr a credibility it lacked during its first season at NASCAR's top
level. Can1T)' teams had a disa<;trous
2007. beginning with Michael
Wc.!hrip's cheating scandal at the
Daytona 500 and lasting the entire
season as its cars struggled to make
races.
Dave Blaney's third-place finish at
Talladega in October was the highest
of ali :royota drivers, and Brian
Vickers' fifth-place finish at Charlotte
in May was the only other top-tive.
But this season starts with four
Toyotas already locked into the 500
lield, and early speeds indicate tl1at a
Camry might even sit on the lront row.
It's given Toyota executives hope
that its teams will reach Victory Lane
this season, and .thcrc·s no reason to
believe a Gibbs driver won't challenge
for the title. Tony Stewart is a twotime series champion, Denny Hamlin
made his 11rst Chase last season and
newcomer Kyle Busch is deter111.i'ned
to show Hendrick how wrong he was
for dumping Busch to make room for
Earnhardl.
Close attention will he paid this
season to the infusion of open wheel
and foreign drivers. Four others have
followed Colombian Juan Pablo
Montoya's successl'ul switch to
NASCAR, and Sam Hornish Jr. is the
only American in the group.
The addition of Scotland's Dario
Franchitti, and French Canadtans
Jacques Villeneuve and Patrick
Carpentier has opened NASCAR to a
wider audience at a time when the
sport is struggling to grow its existing
fan base. These new open-wheelers
can attract international attention and
potentially draw in foreign sponsorship that could diffuse the effect of the
weak American economy.
But these four open-wheelers may
struggle far worse than Montoya ever
did. Considered a rare, exceptional talent with tremendous car control,
Montoya's team owner fully expects
him to make the Chase for the championship this season
Penske looks to rebuild with Busch, Tryson
Team struggled
during (07 season
by MIKE HARRIS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
After finding all the right
answers i.n the second half of
2007. Kurt Bw.;ch and c:rew
chief Pat Tryson are brimming
with confidence heading into
the new season.
"We're really looking forward to il and we're working
real hard," Tryson said during
the recent Spring Media Tour
in Concord, N.C. "We're hoping to come out of the gate real
strong and position ourselves
early in the season up in the top
live and be able to try some
different things to try to make
ourselves beller when we,
hopefully. get to the Chase.
"We want to win some races
and get a pole. We're going to
try to win more races than we
won lasl year and compete for
the championship."
Those are lofty goals, but
both crew chief and driver are
feeling it after staging the
comeback of the season last
year.
The No. 2 Penske Racing
Dodge struggled early in 2007
as GTew chief Roy McCauley
dealt with his wife's setious illness, which eventually forced
him to give up the position.
Troy Raker took over in the
interim, but made it clear he
didn't want tl1c job full time.
Meanwhile, Tryson, who
had guided Mark Martin to two
straight berths in NASCAR's
Chase for the championship,
moved to Greg Bitlle's car
artcr Martin left his longtime
home at what is now Roush
Fenway Racing. The pairing
didn't work and Tryson was
tired in June.
Just days later, be was hired
by Roger Fenske to head up
Busch's crew and the chemistry was almost instantaneous.
Busch was as far back as
16th in the points in June and
trailed Dale Earnhardt Jr. by
236 points for the 12th and
final spot in the Chase entering
the July 8 race at Daytona.
He finished third in that
event and, from that point on,
was one of the hottest drivers
in the Sprint Cup series. Busch
gm all the way to 1Olh, holding
a 206-point advantage over
Earnhardt in 13th after the
26th and final race of the regular season.
In the Chase, Busch finished eighth and went into the
offsea<;on full with optimism.
"Roy McCauley and Troy
Raker definitely deserve so
much credit for their contributions during the year, especially consideting the adverse and
unusual circumstances they
were working under,'.' Busch
said. "When we were able to
add Pat Tryson as our team
leader back in June, it gave us
the solid and consistent leadership that our team needed to
overcome the obstacles and
make the big drive to get into
the Chase."
Busch joined the Penske
team in 2006 after live run
seasons with Roush, including
his championship year in
2004.
"T'd been around (Busch)
for three years at Roush,"
Tryson said. "We didn't spend
a lot of time together, but 1
liked him. What helped the
most., though, was thal or all
the drivers at Roush, him and
Mark (Martin), liked the most
similar stuff.
"So it made it an easy transition for me to say, 'Well, 1
know what I'd be doing with
Mark here, so let's try this.'
And it works with him. That
made it easy for me."
Tryson said the strong performance last season was actually a lot of things coming
together.
"Some of it's communication, some of it's chemistry
with me and Kurt, some of it's
chemistry with me and the
guys on the team," he said.
"And some of it was car stuff
- a little bit here and here and
here.
"They had all the pieces to
the puzzle but maybe they
wcrcn 't all in the right place.
But the biggest thing is everybody welcomed me with open
arms. We all get along great.
We go testing and we have a
lot of fun and try to go do stuff
The other~ should be salislied with

Feds issue new
rules designed
to improve coal
mine rescues
by TIM HUBER
AP BUSINESS WRITER
CHARLESTON, W.Va. The nation's 700 underground coal mines must
have better trained and
equipped rescue teams an
hour away under new rules
issued Friday by the federal
Mine Safety and Health
Administration.
"This regulation will help
ensure that no matter where
or when a mine accident
occurs, dedicated men and
women will be readily avail~ble and'properly trained to
assist in the rescue of their
comrades underground,"
acting MSHA director
Richard Stickler said in a
statement.
The rules are required by
a sweeping mine safety law
Congress adopted after the
deaths of 12 men from an
explosion at the Sago Mine
in January 2006 and two
other high-profile accidents
that year that killed seven
more West Virginia and
Kentucky coal miners.
One of the key provisions
1. f the rules cuts response
times for mine rescue teams
In half. Mines must have res·
cue stations located no more
than an hour away by
ground. Previous rules set a
two-hour response time.
Each mine also must
have two rescue teams and
a person familiar with how to
respond to mine emergency
present dunng each shift.
The rules also require
· teams to practice 96 hours a
year, up from 40. MSHA
s·a ys that practice must
include training in smoky
..,conditions, as well as train""-lng at mines they serve and
participation in two local
mine rescue contests annually.

Mother criticizes handling of 1992 cold case
by JACK LATTA
STAFF WRITER
A Florida woman, whose son disappeared from the Prestonsburg area in
1992,
openly
criticized
the
Prestonsburg Police Department for
mishandling the case in a recent interview.
"I have never in my life dealt with
anything like what I dealt with there,"
said Kathy Cropper-Powe, the mother
of Walter Joseph Cropper.
Powe, in an interview on Missing
Pieces,
said that she called
Prestonsburg Police twice after she
learned that her son had been missing,
once before "the 24-hour mandatory
wait period for missing persons," and
again after that time had expired. Powe
said after 48 hours Walter Cropper's
name had still not been put on the
BOLO (Be On the Look Out for) list.
"We were told by the police that
they were looking for my son, that
there were persons out, that they had

violations of state insurance
and funeraf trust act .
Richard D. Justice, 54,
Pikeville, is charged with

the time of Cropper's disappearance,
said on Friday, "We did conduct several interviews, though our involvement
was minimal."
Powe said later she and her mother
and sister came to Prestonsburg looking for answers and that the detective
would not see them, "because he was
too busy moving into his new home."

questioned everybody," Powe said.
Powe said that Ricky Conn, formerly a detective with the Prestonsburg
Police Department, had said, "Well you
know, he could be out partying somewhere."
The body of Walter Cropper was
found along the roadside one month
later in Adairville, Ga. According to
Powe the body was so decomposed that
dental x-rays were needed to identify
the body.

WASHINGTON - Congress, facing the
prospect of an election-year recession, passed an
emergency plan Thursday that rushes rebates of
$600 to $1,200 to most taxpayers and $300
checks to disabled veterans, the elderly and other
low-income people. President Bush indicated he
would sign the measure.
House passage by a 380-34 vote came a few
hours after Senate leaders ended a drawn-out
stalemate over the bill. Still, by congressional
standards, lawmakers approved the legislation
with exceptional speed to jolt the weak economy.
The plan, which adds $168 billion to the deficit
over two years, is intended to provide cash for
people to spend and tax relief for businesses to
make new investments- boosts for an economy
battered by a housing downturn and credit
crunch.
Rebate checks could begin arriving in May.
They would be based on 2007 tax returns, which
are due April 15.
The Senate's 81-16 vote capped more than a
week of political maneuvering. The logjam
broke when majority Democrats dropped their
demand that rescue proposal offer jobless benefits, heating aid for the poor and tax breaks for
the home building and energy industries.
GOP senators blocked those ideas, but agreed
to add $300 rebates for older people and disabled
veterans to a $161 billion measure the House
passed last week.
Bush called the bill "robust, broad-based,
timely, and it will be effective." The compromise, he said in a statement after the Senate
acted, was "an example of bipartisan cooperation
at a time when the American people most expect
it." The White House said Bush would sign the
bill sometime next week.
The legislation would deliver rebates - $600
for
tax
Ind
iividuals, $1,200 for couples - to most
ers, plus an additional $300 per child.
luals making up to $75,000 a year and
Ol
s earning up to $150,000 would get the
ul
)ate, with those making more than that or
oo
le to owe taxes getting smaller checks.
f ple who paid no income taxes but earned
•t
;t $3,000 - including through Social
\ec ty or veterans' disability benefits - would
•et

•end it immediately, injecting demand into
the economy and therefore creating jobs," House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told colleagues.
The measure also includes steps to boost the
ailing housing market. It would temporarily raise
the limit on Federal Housing Administration
loans and the cap on loans that Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac can buy to $729,750.
The package was the product of a tare spate of
bipartisan cooperation on Capitol Hill, where
Democrats and Republicans teamed with the
White House on a bill that fell far short of both
parties' priorities but could draw broad consensus.
An early agreement forged by Pelosi and
Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, along
with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson enjoyed
a fast and smooth ride through the House, with
lawmakers loath to stand in the way of a plan that
could address their constituents' economic worries in advance of November's elections.
But it bogged down in the closely divided
Senate, where Democrats were determined to
exact a political price from Republicans by forcing them into tough votes on whether to add popular items such as $14.5 billion in jobless aid for
those whose unemployment benefits have run
out, $1 billion in heating aid for the poor and tax

Critics squawk at move to make fried chicken official picnic food
by ROGER ALFORD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANKFORT - Animals
. rights advocates are squawking
at a measure that would make
fried chicken Kentucky's official picnic food.
Stale Rep. Charles Siler is
sponsming legislation to honor
the late Colonel Harland
Sanders, the Kentuckian who
foW1ded the fried chicken chain
that now has II ,000 restaurants
in more than 80 countries. The
bill singles out KFC's "linger
lickin' good" Odginal Rcc1pc,
which Sanders first ~erved in a
Corbin restaurant in 1940, for
the designation.
The Colonel's fried chicken
deserves the title from
Kentucky lawmakers, Siler
said, because qf the worldwide
attention and the economic
benefit it ha<; brought to the
state. By approving the bill, he
said, the legislature would be
helping Louisville-based KFC
to market the product.
"It's not a tonbrue in cheek
action," Siler said. "IL has economic considerations both for
the state of Kentucky and for
the city of Corbin, and l'm sure
the company sees value in it as
well."
People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals bristles
at the idea. The animal rights
group claims that the chickens
KFC serves are abused, even
tortured.
"If the state legislature
moves forward with this one,
then they should change
Kentucky's state bird from the
cardinal to the dcbcaked, crippled, scalded, &,eased, dead
chicken," said PETA vice president Bruce Fliedrich.
PETA has been involved in
a long standing battle with
KFC, and even began a push
two years ago to have a bust of
the bespectacled Colonel
Sanders removed from the
Kentucky Capitol. Sanders,
with his white goatee anq black
string t1e, became recognizable
worldwide by marketing his
fried chicken.
Siler's move to honor
Otiginal Recipe comes on the
heels of an announcement by
Louisville-based KFC that all
5,500 of its U.S. restaurants
have stopped frying chicken in
artery clogging trans htts. The
company switched to a new
soybean oil believed to be less
likely to cause heart disease.

·Bill would exclude federal
rebates from state taxes
The Associated Press
FRANKFORT - A lawmaker has llled legislation that
would excuse Kentuckians
from paying state income tax
on federal tax rebate checks.
Republican State Rep.
David Floyd of Bardstown
~- filed the measure on Friday.
Congress passed an emergency plan Thursday that rush-
es rebates of $600 to $1 ,200 to
most taxpayers and $300
checks to disabled veterans,
the elderly and other lowincome people. President Bush
has indicated he would sign
the measure.
Floyd said "people need to
understand that it's not going
to be a tax burden to accept the
checks."
·Rebate
• Continued from p1
•
tl
breaks fot energy companies,
including coal producers.
Senate Democratic leaders
paired those items with rebates
for older Americans and disabled veterans and threatened
that Republicans would have
lo accept them or risk being
blamed for leaving those politically powerful groups out of
the stimulus plan.
In the end,
though,
Democrats couldn't draw
enough support for their $205
billion alternative to break a
GOP filibuster blocking it.
The turnaround in the
Senate came after Democrats
on Wednesday fell just one
vote short of overcoming the
Republican objections and
pressing ahead with their more
costly plan.
They relented 111ursday and
allowed a vote on a more limited proposal that included the
rebates for the elderly and veterans, plus language designed
to prevent illegal immigrants
from getting the checks.
"I could have played
around with this and tried to
pick up that 60th vote, but I
made a commitment to get this
bill done before (Feb. 15), and
we did that," said Majority
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
The retreat came after
Pelosi sided with Republicans,
including Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell of
Kentucky, and urged the
Senate to stop its infighting
and pass the btll.
Thirty-three Republicans
joined 46 Democrats and the
Senate's two independents to
pass the measure. Sixteen
Republican senators voted
against the plan.
The two Democratic presi
dential candidates, Sens.
Hillary Rodham Clinton of
New York and Barack Obama
of Illinois, skipped the vote.
The Republican fiont-mnncr.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
cast h1s first vote or the year on
the bi.l.l, voting "yes." McCain
had missed the vote the
evening before.
~eid derended his decision
to try to pressure Republicans
on the. larger proposal by offering it as a take-it-or-leave-it
p~oposition along with the
rebates for the elderly and veterans. "I feel very strongly that
we did the right thing," Reid
said.
Democrats
said
Republicans would pay a
political price for their opposition.
"If tod.ay (Republicans) are
squirming because they voted
'no,' that's what dem()(.,Tacy is
all about," said New York Sen.
Charles Schumer, the head of
the
Senate
Democratic
Campaign Committee. "The
political chips will fall where
they may."
But Democratic Sen. Max
Baucus of Montana, chairman
of the Senate Pinancc
Committee, said: "Discretion
is the beuer part of valor. The
best thing for us to do is
declare a big victory that
we've achieved; namely, getting the rebate checks to 20
million seniors and 250,000
disabled veterans."
Some
Republicans
expressed reservations that the
rehate checks would help
much. Other lawmakers wor
ried about expanding the budget deficit.
"We have to remember that
every dollar being spent on the
stimulus package IS being bor
rowed ii·om our children And
our children's ch1ld.ren," ~:,aid
Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., who
voted against the bilL
KFC spokeswoman Laurie
Schalow said the company is
glad Kentucky lawmakers arc
considering Siler's legislation.
"We think this is a great way
to honor the Colonel's legacy,"
Schalow said. "Whether left
wing or right wing, we think
this is something both sides can
agree on."
The legislation is House Rill
331.
Recently, Beshear proposed
an $18.5 billion two-year
spending proposal that calls
for significant cuts to state
goverrunent agencies and pub1ic uni versilies. Soaring costs
in the state's Medicaid and
prison systems are causing
financial woes across state
government.
But Bcshcar, the son of a
preacher, saY1> the revenue
generated from casinos can
help plug a gaping budget
hole.
Lawmakers could, if they
desire, pass a supplemental
budget contingent upon the
legislature passing the proposed constitutional amendment and then Kentucky vot-
ers ratifying it.
"lt would be enlightening
.for everybody in the legisla
turc and the general public to
know that if this does pass, and
we'll generate those revenues,
then we would have a plan for
the spending or those revenues
that would relieve some of the
signillcant reductions that
we've had to propose at this
point, ·• Beshear said.
House
Speaker
Jody
Richards, D-Bowling Green,
said he thought the idea or
passing a supplemental budget
based on possible revenue
from selling casino licenses
could "probably" make it easier to pass a constitutional
amendment out of the House.
Nevertheless, such legislation could have problems navigating the General Assembly
in an election year. Senate
President Dtlvid Williams, RBurkesville, opposes the idea.
"We don't need this corrupting inOuence in this state,"
Williams said earlier this
week.
Bcshcar said he was "relatively confident" that he could
convince lawmakers in both
the· House and Senate to support his proposal.
"If expanded gaming were
approved, it woulc;l go a long
way toward resolving our revenue problems right now and
for the foreseeable future,"
Beshear said.4
Plan
• Continued from p1
cuss it."
Bcshcar's support for legalizing casino gambling in
Kentucky has been no secret.
He campaigned against former
Gov. Ernie Fletcher, a
Republican, on a platform that
included his call for a constitutional amendment allowing
casinos.
Home of the Kentucky
Derby, the Bluegrass state has
long allowed gambling in various forms - at race tracks,
bingo halls and through a st.at.e
lottery. Casinos would be new,
and are likely to be a polarizing issue in a Bihlc belt state
where
the
Ten
Commandments arc posted in
the Capitol Rotunda.

1992.
In a letter to the editor in
The Times on OcL 23 or that
year, Kim Slone, then of
Bevinsville, said, "Why is it
that nothing was said or written by the news media until his
body was found and positively
identified almost a month
later?"
In the letter, Slone contin. ued to assail the lack or attention Cropper's disappearance
had generated, saying, "Would
his description and picture
have been on local newscasts
and the front page of the FCT
- if he had been a wellknown, well-liked student
from PCC or Prestonsburg
High School who disappeared
under 'mysterious circumstances' - instead of 'just
another runaway from the Job
Corps Center?'"
Ricky Conn was not immediately available for comment.
After leaving the PPD
Conn went to work as a
Kentucky State Trooper.
Conn, now retired, was rec-,
ognized for heroism for a 2004
incident in which, after an
explosion occurred in his lvcl
neighborhood, he rescued a
mod1cr and child from their
burning home, despite suffering severe burns himself.
Tn 2005, Gov. Ernie
Fletcb.er presented Conn with
the Governor's Medal of
Valor, which is reserved for
troopers displaying conspicuous heroism in the line of duty
under
circumstances
of
extreme danger.
According to the Georgia
Department or lnvestigaLion,
police in Florida arrested a
Floyd County man in February
of 1993, Harry Eugene Hale,
46, of Martin, for questioning
in Georgia in connection with
a missing Swiss exchange student, Chris Zahn, sexual
assaults against young males,
and possibly the slaying of
Cropper. According to reports,
Hale was a resident or Austell,
Ga.,atthetimeofZahn's 1992
disappearance. He also owned
homes in Kentucky and
Flmida.
No evidence ever came forward
linking
Hale
to
Cropper's murder, though he
was incarcerated ror credit
card fraud after being filmed
using cards belonging to Zahn.
Hale is currently serving a
prison sentence in Georgia and
will not come up for parole
until 2013.

for uncertain times
As a starting point, Gov. Steve Beshear's budget proposal
is a strong effort. His recommendation that base funding for
public elementary and secondary education stay at the current level is the correct approach, ret1ecting the importance
of K-12 education. School districts will still feel pressure
because the budget includes no increases for many other
school services and there's no new money for teacher raises,
but protecting the Support Education Excellence in
Kentucky formula from cuts will allow districts to hold their
own. Reducing the amount districts receive based on their
average daily attendance would have been destructive and
caused schools to lose ground.
Shielding K-12 education during austere times means that
cuts had to be made elsewhere. Beshear spread the pain
around. The Kentucky Department of Education would lose
1 12 percent of its funding under the Besheru: proposal, which
means districts will lose money for professwnal development, safe-school initiatives, textbooks and extended school
services. Social service and public health programs other
than Medicaid wi11 have much less to spend.
By preserving the SEEK formula, Beshear placed a strong
priority on elementary and secondary education that should
send a clear message to lawmakers to also protect it. Cuts in
other areas of government reflect the reality of tight revenues.
Public colleges and universities will suffer most under the
Beshear proposal. Higher-education spending will be
' trimmed 12 percent in the first year of the budget, with only
slightly more money the second year. Higher tuition, lower
enrollment and canceled programs will be the likely result.
But Beshear's plan supports universities being able to issue
bonds to pay for th~ir projects, restores vetoed projects,
maintains funding for need-ba-;ed financial aid and funds
Bucks for Brains with a $60 million bond issue. Bucks for
Brains brings top researchers to state schools. Those recommendations should make the pain more bearable.
The governor's budget cuts spending for human services,
but it increases Medicaid and criminal-justice spending.
Beshear did the smart thing by not simply cutting the
budget across the board to meet what is expected to be
much lower revenue growth than previously anticipated.
The budget for 2006-08 was $18.1 billion, but spending cuts
had to be made to pay the state's bills through June. The
general fund budget Beshear presented on Jan. 29 for 200810 totals $18.5 billion in spending.
With so little new revenue to work with, it will be challenging for the House and Senate to improve the budget, but
we don't doubt that the collective experience of many legislators can make a difference. It will be interesting to follow
the budget process in the coming two months. If savings or
additional money can be found, the first priority should be
to lessen the blow to higher education.

-Rich L owry Column
'Liberal Fascism'
The l'-bomb or American politics
is the word "fa<;cist," routinely hurled
by the left at conservatives. Ronald
Reagan and Barry Goldwater were
smeared as incipient fascists, and
George W. Bush now receives the
honor.
The operational meaning of the
word "fascism" for most liberals who
invoke it is usually "shut up." H's
meant to bludgeon conservatives into
silence. But many on the left also
genuinely believe there is something
fascistic in the DNA of contemporary
conservatism.
In his brilliant new book "Liberal
Fascism," Jonah Goldberg (a colleague of mine) demonstrates how
the opposite is the case, that fascism
wa<; a movement of the left and that
liberal heroes like Woodrow Wilson
and Franklin Delano Roosevelt were
products of what Goldberg calls "the
fascist moment" in America. How we
think of the ideological spectrum socialism to the left, fascism to the
right- should be forever changed.
Benito Mussolini earned the title
"TI Duce" as the leader or the socialists in Italy. When he founded the fascist party, ils program called ror
implementing a minimum wage,
expropriating
property
from
landowners. repealing titles of nobility, creating state run secular schools
and imposing a progressive lax rate.
Mussolini took socialism and turned
il in a more populist and militaristic
direction, but remained a modernizing, secular man or the left.
The Nazis too were socialists,
"enerllies, deadly enemies, of today's
capitalist economic system," in the
words of the party's ideologist
Gregor Strasser. The Nazis wanted to
chase conven
tional Christianity
from
public life and
overturn tradition, replacing
them with an
all - powerful
state.
Both
Hitler
and
Mussolini were
revolutionaries,
opbitterly
posed to "reactionary" forces in their societies.
By what standard, then, arc they
considered conservatives who took
things to extremes? The left points to
their anti-Semitism and militarism.
· But anti-Semitism isn't an inherently
right-wing phenomenon - Stalin's
Russia was anti-Semitic. As for militarism, these regimes looked Lo it as a
way to mobilize and organize society,
something deeply anathema to the
anti-statist tradition of postwar
American conservatism.
On the od1cr hand, the progressive
movement of the early 20th century
looked to Mussolini as an inspiration.
Goldberg eviscerates Woodrow
Wilson as the closest we have ever
had to a fascist president. Wilson and
his supporters welcomed World War 1
as an opportunity to expand the stale,
instituting "war socialism" and a farreaching crackdown on dissent.
FDR picked up where Wilson left
off. The crisis of the Great
Depression was the occasion for
reviving "war
social ism," the
classic fascist
impulse to mobilize .society and ~
put It on a war
footing.
Goldberg
argues that "liberal fascism" the phrase was
coined by H.G.
Wells, and he
meant it positively- is a distant heir to European
fascism. The liberal version is pacifist rather than militaristic and feminine rather !han masculine in its orientation, but it also seeks to incrca<;c
the power of the state and overcome
tradiLion in sweeping crusades pursued with the moral fervor of war.
•
Goldberg's book is a profound
cautionary talc about the perils of
slate aggrandi:t.ement and of revolutionary movements. If nothing else, it
should convince liberals that it's time
to find a new insult.

SOLVING THE TAX PROBLEM
We join those who arc opposing
the bill before the General
Assembly seeking state aid to
parochial schools. We have nothing against schools operated by
churches, but separation of church
and state should also include separation, when the financial going
gets rough.
A good-humored view of the
subject is taken in the following,
which was written by an anonymous contributor to the Buffalo
Evening News, and sent me by W.
G. Duncan of Louisville.
"To all !hose who want the taxpayers of the community to underwrite the cost of a special interest
private school, I respectfully submit the following solution.
"Let's return public school
taxes to all parents who send their
children to parochial schools.
Also, let's return these same taxes
to those having no children in
school. Then we'll return tax
money used for national defense to
. all people whose religious convictions do not permit armed contlict.
Next, refund Social Security payrnenL~ to those people of means,
who will never receive their benefits.
"In addition, let's reimburse all
tax money used for public swimming pools to those owning private pools, and return all tax
money used for road construction
to those not having an automobile.
How about the thousands of people who own large farms and never
usc the public parks? We'll return
their tax payments too.
"After all taxes have been
returned, we' ll return the country
to the Indians and all jump in the
lake."

This is the first show performed by the Appalachian
Regional Theatre Society where
the lead is a member of the canine
species. Yes, "Sylvia," the play's
title character, is a dog. Sylvia is
played by Janet McReynolds who
seems to have captured the
essence of this free-spirited pooch
with her lop-sided ears and heartshaped coilar. You may actually
forget, for a brief moment, that
she is really human, even though
many of her lines are delivered
while standing on two, as opposed
to four, feet. Janet was active in
theatre in Nashville before moving to Kentucky. She has perfanned in plays such as Camelot,
Once Upon a Mattres~ , Quilters
(twice), and The Good Doctor.
Janet has had two roles with

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
What to do when your mechanic is a drip
by TOM and RAY
MAGLIOZZI
Dear Tom and Ray:
I went to one of those 10minute-oil-change places, and
I got out of my vehicle to
watch the employee work on
my car. He began pumping oil
into my engine from one of the
overhead hoses, and while he
pumped the oil, he started talking with his buddy who was
servicing the next car over. He
wasn't paying any attention to
what he was doing, and he didn't realize that the oil hose had
slipped out of the hole. He was
holding the trigger and spraying oil all over ·my engine.
When he realized his mistake
several seconds later, he repositioned the hose back in the
hole and continued pumping
oil. Once it was full, he tightened the cap and tried to spray
off the oil with water and wipe
some oil off with a rag. I was
amazed and didn't know what
to say. He had gotten oil all
over the valve cover, on all the
wiring, on the spark-plug
wires, on the windshield and
on all sorts of things that I'm
sure I don't know about yet.
My question: Is it possible that
I will experience problems in
the future as the oil seeps into
just about everything? And
what should I do to resolve the
problem? Will an engine detail
be enough?- Alex
TOM: The windshield?
Geez, he really painted the
thing, huh, Alex?
RAY: Actually, this happens a lot. And while there's
no danger of engine parts
being ruined by being covered
in oil, there is a slight fire danger. If oil were to pool on the
hot exhaust manifold, it could
ignite. And that would be very
exciting, wouldn't it?
TOM: That's why, when
my brother squirts oil all over
someone's engine, he always
cleans it off with a solvent.
RAY: Right. It's a pain in
Lhe butt, bul if we don't clean
it up, the oil will burn off and
will smoke and smell bad, and
we'll probably lose a customer.
TOM: You mean ANOTHER customer!
RAY: Right. So we clean it
off with a solvent rather than
water, because a solvent will
actually WORK. Then we'll
run the engine to bum off anything we missed while my
brother stands by with twigs
and marshmallows, just in
case.
TOM: So, having your
engine steam-cleaned would
be more than adequate, Alex.
And you should ask those guys
to pay for it.
RAY: And next time, sit in
the waiting room and read a
People magazine like you're
supposed to, so you won't
have to see stuff like this.
Unfortunately, the car the
replacement was taken from
had fewer miles on it than
mine, and I'm worried about
what will happen when I go to
trade this one in. Do I keep my
mouth shut, like he says, and
hope that nobody will notice?
Or, if 1 tell the dealer, will the
mileage police haul my trusting rear end off to jail? I'd
really like to get a new car
before something else goes
wrong with this one, but I'm
scared. Help me!- Libby
TOM: Libby, you are facing a classic ethical dilemma.
You have been handed,
through no fault of your own,
something that will increase
the resale value of your car,
but at the expense of some
other, innocent buyer.
RAY: So, the ethical question is, Do you spend all the
extra money yourself, or do
you have to give half of it to
your boyfriend?
TOM: Actually, this is not a
dilemma at all, Libby. We can
tell that you're an honest person at heart (unlike your
sleazeball boyfriend!), so you
simply have to follow the rules
set out by the state you live in.
RAY: They're different in
every state, but the common
element is disclosure.
TOM: You are required
simply to inform any future
owner of the car that the
mileage reading on the
odometer is not the actual
mileage of the car.
RAY: Some states require
that the person doing the repair
place a sticker under the
odometer; some require that a
form be filed with the state
of
Motor
Department
Vehicles; some require you to
note the difference on the car's
title.
TOM: But everybody
knows that odometers and
speedometers DO break. And
you 're entitled to replace
yours with a new or a used
one. Neither you nor your
sleazeball boyfriend did any-
tion for your boyfriend.
TOM: So check with your
state DMV and do whatever is
required to disclose the new
odometer reading, and then
you can stop worrying about it
forever, Libby.

own party at the mine's rec
room.
If you guessed that the
killer is coming despite the
lack of an invitation, then go to
the head of the class and enjoy
the ensuing gore. Bodies begin
piling up like a stack of buckwheats as the young people
pair off and are slaughtered by
a killer wielding a pickax and
decked out in full mining gear.
Here they get original and
spice up the stabbings with a
few novelty killings, such as
the improper use of a nail gun
and one death by drowning in
weenie water. Eventually the
bodies tum up and the party
ends, but a group has headed
into the mine for a tour so two
brave men head down after
them. The killer is down there
too, however, and he decimates most of the group before
being unmasked in a climactic
duel with a young couple who
refuse to go down easy.
This one has much to recommend it. One strong factor
is that the killer never appears
to be in two places at once and
his motivation is believable
when finally revealed. The
murders are well staged,
.though they smack of post production editing which trims
down the gore quotient.
There is plenty of suspense
on hand as evidenced in an
excellent opening sequence
that plays a trick on you as the
camera follows two miners in
full gear heading down a shaft.
They stop and one strips to
reveal she's a gorgeous blonde
with a heart-shaped tattoo over
her chest. She later regrets the
ink work as it makes it easier
for her partner to slam his ax
into her ticker and stop her
clock.
Another great bit involves
the killer stalking his prey
down yet another shaft but
stopping every few feet to put
out another light with his
weapon.
About the only thing that
drags this one a bit is a protracted bit about a love triangle
between the three young leads
thqt stops the movie dead
every 10 minutes or so.

guys doing with a loose

TIMES STAFF REPORT
•
FRANKFORT- Place names
such as Rankin Bottoms,
Bryant's Camp, Broad Ford,
Bacon Creek and Glensboro hold
special significance for white
bass anglers in Kentucky. These
areas lie in the headwaters of
Herrington Lake, Nolin River
Lake and Taylorsville Lake and
produce white bass each spring
year after year.
Warming water along with the
current provided by spring rains
signal white bass to run upstream
into the headwaters of these lakes
from mid-March to mid-April.
This could happen earlier if we
have a dry, mild winter or later if
have a cold, wet winter.
When white bass make their
spawning runs into the shallow
headwaters of these lakes, the
fishing is fast and furious. A minnow cast under a bobber catches
these fish as does a white or silver in-line spinner, a chrome or
golden spoon, white or chartr~use curly-tailed grubs rigged
on a lead head or shad colored
crankbaits.
The white bass run may
extend up the Nolin River all the
way to the KY 224 Bridge at
Millerstown in spring. Be careful
if navigating a boat upstream of
the Bacon Creek Boat Ramp as
the lake quickly returns to the
pools and riffles of Nolin River.
The Broad Ford Bridge on KY
1214 provides bank fishing
opportunities.
The peculiar thing about the
white bass run in Salt River
above Taylorsville Lake is there
didn't appear to be any white
bass present during the early
years of the lake. They appeared
during the early 1990s and populations continually increased.
The run is now one of the
strongest in Kentucky.
Boating anglers may launch at
Van Buren Boat Ramp and venture upstream or may access the
Salt River by way of Taylorsville
Lake Wildlife-Management Area
(WMA) off KY 248.
White bass fishing in the
headwaters in Herrington Lake is
returning to its glory days of the
1940s and 1950s, when anglers
from all over Kentucky and surrounding states came to Rankin
Bottoms to fish. Old photos show
long lines of cars and trucks up
and down KY 52 near the bridge
over Dix River between Danville
and Lancaster.

No more T-Os, Baby, Dick Vitale is back behind ·the mike aga1n
by JIM O'CONNELL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Dick Vitale's first "Welcome
Back.. came well before the
start of the Duke-North
Carolina game.
College basketball's signature
analyst-ambassador
anived at the Smith Center on
Wednesuay about live hours
before he was to return to the
air after two months away
while he underwent and recovered from throat surgery.
And Vitale couldn't believe
the reception he received.
As he turned the corner
toward the media entrance,
Vitale was suddenly in the
middle of the North Carolina
students already in line to get
the p1ime scats for the game
against their archrival.
'"Dickie V. Dickie V."
The students, who have
been ~<nown for changing his
nickname to "Dukie V." on
occasion because of some perceptions that he favors the
"other" school in the rivalry,
were genuinely excited to see
Lhe man who coined so many
phrases that have become part
or the lexicon or college basketball.
"Get a T-0, baby."
'This game's an M&Mcr."
"You're aP-T-Per."
"Shoot the rock."
The more the students
cheered ami chanted, the closer
Vitale got to crying and eventually the tears streamed down
his face. And tipoff for the
ESPN telecast between No. 2
Duke and No. 3 North Carolina
was still hours away.
"This is unbelievable. It's
been like this since Dec. 5
when T found out about the
lesions in my throat," said
Vitale, a man who admits he's
emotional most of the time
anyway. ''The phone calls, the
notes and letters, the gift baskets. How lucky can a man be?
On Dec. 5 l never thought l'd
be here again."
Tl's hard to imagine college
basketball without Vitale. His
coaching career never brought
him this kind of attention. His
broadcasting career started in
1979 and he's been with ESPN
ever since.
Hardly a broadcast journalism example for diction and
decorum, Vitale has lefl his
feelings out there for almost
three decades and the la~t two
months let him know his
unique style was appreciated
and missed.
At 5:20, Vitale had to tape
an interview that would be
played during SportsCenter.
When the red light wenl on he
was answering with enthusi
asm and his voice was echoing
around an empty Smith Center.
The cameramen and technicians were sitting in the first
few rows of the lower level and
as Vitale's voice started booming, the smiles and nods start-
ed. Dickie V. was back.
When the interview ended,
one fan up on the course level
screamed "Dickie V." and
started bowing from the waist
with his armc; extended.
One of the hardest part~ or
his first day hack was that
Vitale couldn't accommodate
local TV radio stations for
brief pregame interviews, a
staple or his pre-surgery day~.
"I feel so bad I can't talk to
them all but iL's doctor's
order," he ~aid.
Every turndown. instead or
being greeted with a head
shake or a grumble, was met
with a handshake and a welcome.
"r feel like I'm 12 years old
again. When you're laying in a
hospital bed you feel 68," he
said using his age. "1 want to
be 12."
Vitale bumped into Tim
Brando, who was doing the
play-by-play for Raycom,
which was also broadcasting
rhc game. After a hug and
some small talk, Brando told
Vitale ahout a concoction he
used to help his voice during
games after nodules were
found on his vocal chords five
years ago.
"You take ginger root and
slice it like a potato, mix it with
warm water and ... ," was all
Brando, who did his first game
for ESPN with Vitale next to
him in January 1985, got out.
"Please
tell
that
to
Lorraine," Vitale said referring
to his wife. "T can't remember
all that."
When he sat eating his
pregame meal and drinking
plenty of water (another doc·
lor's order thalleft him worrying about where the closest
men's room was from the midcourt broadcast position),
Vitale admitted the lasltime he
was this anxious before a game
was when he was coaching at
the University of Detroit.
"We had won 20 straight
and were playing Marquette in
Milwaukee and needed to win
the game to make sure we got
an invitation to the NCAA
tournament that at that time
wa<; just 32 teams," he said.
"1l1is is my Super Bowl. This
is a very special moment in my
career and my life."
And it was smooth at the
start.
Following one more "welcome back'' from play-by-play
partner Mike Patrick, Vitalein a strong voice that showed
he has been doing his exercises
such a<; singing children songs
- again expressed his joy at
being able to do what he loves.
Then, it was time to analyze
the game.
After Duke beat North
Carolina, 89-78, Vitale walked
across the court with a huge
smile on his race and summed •
the day up as only he can:
"It was awesome, baby."
Pat Knight loses debut as head coach after taking over for father
by STEPHEN HAWKINS

WACO, Texas - When Pat
Knight planned changes in the
way Texas Tech would do certain things, be didn't worry
about the opinions or anyone
else. Not even those of the
coach he succeeded.
Who just happens to be his
father, Bob Knight, the
NCAA's winningc.<;t Division 1
men's coach.
''Like when you grow up
and leave the house, you have
got to be on your .own," Pal
Knight said after his first
game, an 80-74 loss at Baylor
on Wednesday night. ''That's
pretty much the way il's going
to be. He ·s not going to he

Bob Knight wasn't there
for his son's head coaching
debut with the Red Raiders
(I 2-9, 3-4 Big 12), when it
was clear that a different
Knight was in charge.
"Wow! Coach Knight to
Coach Knight is delinitely a
little different," Baylor coach
Scott Drew said. "Press, zone,
some things that you wouldn't
expect."
Two days after Bob
Knight's sudden resignation
after 902 wins and three
national championships over
42 years, the younger Knight
was already putting his imprint
on the team.
"l'm not sitting here doing
this job now thinking about
what other people think," he
said. "I'm either going to win
my way or lose my way, just
like he did."
The Red Raiders were trap-

lot of pressure on the bali. And
what about that 3-2 zone
defense, far from the man-toman schemes his father
prefers?
"The reason T used 3-2 was
because of him. We talked during the year and he always
thinks that's the best zone to
run," said 37-year-old Pat.
"Everything T really did
tonight were ideas from him,
even though he hasn't done it
in a game."
Then he added a phrase
repeated several times after his
first game: "It's my team."

Raiders couldn't overcome

NFL at its peak, but league
needs to address some issues
by TIM DAHLBERG
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Roger Goodell was working
the room, going from table to
table and shaking hands with
almost anyone lucky enough to
have a ticket to the NFL's Super
Bowl postgame buffet in downtown Phoenix. He had a smile
on his face, and a lotto be happy
about after a game that kept the
country tuned in all the way
through the very la'it Bud Light
commercial.
lt wasn' t just the game that
made the commissioner happy,
though il would have been hard
to write a better script than Eli
Manning leading the New York
Giant<; to a la<;t-minutc touchdown to beat the big, bad New
England Patriots. Nearly half
the country watched at one time
or another, making it the most
watched Super Bowl ever and
further cementing the NFL's
position as America's favorite
sport.
Good times indeed for a
league that seems to have everything going its way. In an
increasingly :fmgmented sports
landscape, the NFL is the
proverbial 500-pound gorilla,
flush and fat with no real challenges to it<: dominance.
A half century after the
Giants and Baltimore Colts
played the iconic championship
game that ushered in the
league's new era, people can't
get enough of pro rootball.
Things arc so good that not only
are the owners getting rich but
they're letting the players enjoy
some of the fruits of success,
too.
Los Angeles still doesn't
have a team, but it doesn't seem
to matter anymore. There arc
billion dollar stadiums going up
in Dallac; and New Jersey, and
the league is so determined to
expand even further that there
will be games played in both
England and Canada next season.
Goodell has gotten generally
good mark<; himself for his per-
straight free throw<>.
Mike Singletary had 20
points for Texas Tech, which
dropped to 1-7 on the road 0-4 in Lhe Big I 2. Alan Voskuil
added 16, including four 3pointers.
"1 was just happy that they
got it back within range where
we could have a chance to
~aybe win the game instead of
letting it get totally out or
band," said Knight. who was
admittedly nervous before the
game.
At times, Knight wrole
notes in a small pad he held in
his hand. He alternated
between sitting in his scat and
pacing the sideline throughout
the game.
Knight spent a decade as a
college assistant. The only
season he wasn't with his
father was 2000-01, when Bob
Knight didn't coach between
his departure from Indiana and
his hiring at Tech.
During Tech's turnoverplagued stretch early in the
second half, Knight sat at one
point staring at the ground and
rubhing his temples with both
hands. Then. when leading 111
scorer Martin Zcno committed
his fourth foul with almost 17
minutes left, the coach stood
with his hands on his hip$.
While disappointed with
losing. Knight appreciated the
eflorl from players asked to
"do a lot of things they wercn' t
used to." He had ··a blast"
coaching his first game.
'1 haven't had this much
fun since T played," he said. "T
haven't felt this much nervousness or energy since I was
lacing up and playing for my
dad."

Curtis Jerrells led Baylor

The Bears snapped a twogame losing streak that had
knocked them out of the Top
25 after they were in the
national rank:ings for the first
time since 1969.
"They're still a Knightcoached team," Baylor's
Aaron Bruce said. "They
caught us at a bad lime. We
were really hungry and wanted
to win."
The Red Raiders· miscues
put them in a bole they couldn'L get OUl off- even though
they cut a 14-point deficit to
74-71 on John Roberson's 3pointcr with 33 seconds left
before Baylor made six
formance since taking over the
league, and he hac;n't hesitated
to crack the whip for misconduct on sidelines and in strip
dubs.
Still, issues remain, and they
can't all be blamed on one
Pennsylvania senator who
picked just the righy time to
issue a good sound bite. None
threaten the league's runaway
success by themselves, but
Goodell might be wise to
address them all by the time preseason camps open.
So here is a to-do list for the
orr.~ason:
- Put Spygate to rest. The
commissioner's initial reaction
in fining Bill Bclichick
$500,000 and taking away a
first-round pick from the
Patriots for cheating was right
on, but since then there have
been more questions than
answers. Why were the tapes
dc.'itroyed? Why didn't anyone
from the NFL talk to the cameraman himself? Why arc there
new rumors that the Patriots
taped the 2002 Super Bowl
practice of the St. Louis Rams?
Why does Sen. Arlen Specter
want to make it a federal ea<;e?
Why does Belichiek always
look like he just ate some bad
oysters?
Inquiring minds want to
know, and thi<; is one scandal
that won't go away simply
because the NFL want<; it to.
- Stop the supersizing of
players. The amazing thing
about the NFL isn't that the
players are freakishly big and
strong, but that no one seems to
know how they did it. Unlike
ba.<;cball, no one seems to care,
either, even when stars such as
Shawne Mcniman and Rodney
Harrison are suspended for performance-enhancing
drugs.
Suspensions are rare, though,
meaning a lot or players are
either getting away with being
juiced because the testing is not
all that good or that they arc just
naturally 6-foot-2 and 275
pounds of solid muscle.

"Points in the paint were a
big key for us," Mitchell ~d.
"Having 38 points in the paint

well offensively. Rebounding is
something that we talk about
everyday in practice.''
Mitchell was Cllrced to u<;e

Ole Miss pulled to within one,
40-39, with 12:58 to play.
Back-to-hack three-pointers by
Chowning helped push UK's
lead to nine at the 8:10 mark
but the Rebels would not back
down. With the Cal'> up seven,
55-48, UM's Shantell Black hit
a three-pointer and then followed up with a layup on a UK
missed three-pointer. That fivepoint swing helped shrink the
Cats' lead to just two points,
55-53, with I :37 to go.
Mahoney grabbed one of her
five defensive rebounds and hit
a key field goal on the other
end with 21 seconds to give
UK a 57-53 lead. Sophomore

The Associated Press
FRANKFORT- A
House committee has
approved a measure that
would require retailers to
include weather radios
when selling manufactt!ed or mobile homes.
Rep. Ruth Ann
Palumbo of Lexington
says people who live in
such housing tend to be
more vulnerable to the
threat of dangerous
weather. Palumbo says
weather radios could give
people the extra time
they need to react to an
approaching storm.

A similar measure is
on the books in Indiana,
and one is pending in
Congress.
The Kentucky proposal now heads to the full
House for consideration.
PRESTONSBURG - The trial of a
sex offender whose registered residence
came into question in 2006 began early
this week in Floyd Circuit Court under
Judge Danny Caudill.
According to the indictment, John
Samuel Moore, of Prestonsburg, is
charged both with failure to maintain sex
offender registration by not providing
accurate address information, a Class D
felony, and "living to close to a preschool,
or day care facility, when he being a registered sex otlender, was residing within
1.000 feet of the Baptist Learning Center
of Prestonsburg, First Baptist church," a
Class A misdemeanor.
In the defense's opening statement,
Melissa Goodman, of the public defender's office, said that Moore was being
prosecuted because of the Collins fami-
ly's "pride and prejudice."
"The Collinses are hurt. They are trying to get back at him (the defendant), and
they want him prosecuted," Goodman
said.
As part of the defense, Goodman contends that the defendant was trying to
move on with his life, abiding by the rules
of the Sex Offender Registry.
Goodman also spoke, during her opening remarks, of the stain of being a registered sex offender, adding that people in
her · own church, who were welcoming
and congenial with "white collar criminals," would "scatter quicker than the sea
parted" if a sex offender were in their
midst.

Parole, as well as the Kentucky State

Not a horse race
It's always nice to be ardently wooed. Bul so-called
super delegates need to save themselves for the wedding
pight. And that would be the Democratic National
Convention in August.
Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are scrapping
for every delegate apportioned in the state's primaries and
caucuses. Neither might have the numbers to clinch by the
convention, though mid-Atlantic primaries [yesterday may
pave] put one candidate more clearly in lhe lead- and primaries in Wisconsin, Ohio and Texas could add even more
clarity.
But if it goes down to the wire. super delegates, who,
according to party rules, arc free o vote for whomever they
wish, will have to be the tie-breakers. Each campaign is
now pressing these delegates to commit. They shouldn't.
They should wait until the nation's voters have spoken
through the parly primaries. And then they should. cast their
votes so that those voter 'wishes are respected. Sen. John
McCain has all but sewn up the GOP nomination. On the
Democratic side, however, matters as of Monday were still
very much in the air.
The party's super delegates are Democratic governors,
the party's members in the U.S. House and Senate and all
members of the Democratic National Committee. More
than half already have committed to a candidate.
Of Wisconsin's 16 super delegates, four have gone for
Obama and two for Clinton. Ten are undecided.
The remaining super delegates who are being courted
need to stand firm, and those who have committed may
need to rethink their positions come convenlion time. The
party created super delegates in 1980 to bring cohesion to
the party at nominating time - to give a unifying boost to
the candidate for whom more people had voted but who
might hold only a slim lead in delegates.
Commendably, the state's two U.S. senators and others
have remained publicly uncommitted.
It will be a blow to 'party unity going into the general
election if more people end up voting for one candidate
over the other in the Democratic primaries and super delegates throw it to the other candidate anyway.
The party that was correctly indignant that the presidential candidate who won the popular vote was denied the
victory in 2000 cannot be the same party that denies its
nomination to the person with more votes in 2008.

Senate week
in review
by SEN. JOHNNY RAY TURNER
29TH SENATE DISTRICT
With so many of our military men
and women fighting the global war on
terror, the sacrifices of our armed
forces always weigh heavily on lawmakers in Frankfort. In Kentucky, we
see firsthand the impact their noble
sactifice has on families we know personally. We took several steps this
week to help military families and all
of our citi7.ens will feel these effect<;
Kentuc~ is one of only five state.
that does not offer tax relief to mem
bers of the military. Many active-duty
service members claim citizenship in
another state for just that reason.
Many soldiers at Fort Campbell,
located on the state line, choose to live
on the Tennessee side, paying property taxes and spending their money in
stores there. Under Senate Bill 85, we
could give our troops tax relief and
give their fami lies and local businesses an economic boost. SB 85 would
create a $ 17-million military service
rebate fund , which would allow troops
to apply for a full refund of the state
income tax they paid on their military
wages. Military Reserve and National
Guard troops would be eligible as
well, expanding the economic benefit
to every area of the state.
Easing the· financial burden on ser-
vice members and their families will
help show how much we appreciate
their service and sacrifices. As a
bonus, we hope they will choose to
live in Kentucky and spend their hardearned dollars here.
It is especially important to honor
our troops as Kentucky prepares to
welcome more soldiers into our borders over the next few years. Under
the Base Realignment and Closure
(BRAC) process, more than 6,000
new soldiers and support staff will
move to Fort Knox. These arrivals
mean more than $1 billion for our
state's economy, but these additional
soldiers will also put stress on local
infrastru ture. The area Jsurwunding
Eo t Knox will need better roads',
mare utilities and o~hcr iplprovements. Senate Bill 111 will make sure
the state does its part to help the area
grow smoothly. We have learned that
rapid growth, if not managed properly, can lead to problems such as dangerous roads and crowded schools.
SB 11 1 gives us the opportunity to
shepherd that development.
SB 111 would issue $296 million
in bonds to allow the new BRAC economic development board to oversee
improvements around Fort Knox.
Roads, schools, workforce development, water and sewer needs, and
human services would all be eligible
for funding under the program. By
supporting our military bases, we put
ourselves in a good position for future
BRAC decisions. The military is the
state's largest mobile employer;
attracting and keeping military jobs ~6
vital to our state's economy.
While BRAC will bring an infltix
of new soldiers and their families 1c
Kentucky bases, transfers are a constant factor in military life. Senate Btl!
68 would address one of the hardship'S
these families face when they move
-their children's education. Because
each state has different requireme~
for graduation and teaches differehl
subject matter at each grade level, it is
tough for students to make a smootb
transition. Many times, paperwotk
and bureaucracy get in the way m1
learning.
Jt
SB 68 would include Kentucky in
an interstate compact to help ease:the
qurden on these students. They ha'\.le.it
tough already, leaving their friends
and trying to adjust to new surrounl:iings. Working together with other
states so students can focus on book.<;
rather than bureaucratic paperwork
will be a big boost for those kids. ra
We also approved a measure tlm
week to allow non-resident milit
personnel and veterans to save mon
on their Kentucky hunting licenses.
Traditionally,
anyone
withoat
Kentucky residency has paid a higher
fee for hi s or her hunting li censes, bot
Senate Bill 67 would let him or her
pay the resident fee, saving them $10C

During the Jan. 23 Floyd County
Board of Education meeting, we as
board members continued our discussions regarding the transfer of sixthgraders from McDowell Elementary
School and Osborne Elementary
School to the South Floyd Middle
School facility for the upcoming
2008-09 school year. Some of my
stat~ment may have resulted in confusion and I would like to take the
opportunity now to clarify the message I had intended to share on that
evening.
First, I want to begin by commending South Floyd Middle School for
the growth and work of the leadership,
staff and studen ts. Recent assessment
results demonstrate the schools outstanding success with an academic
index of 87.5, an increase of 17.6
points in 2007. I am very proud of
these accomplishments and know that
students attending South Floyd
Middle School have and will continue
to receive an outstanding learning
expetience. Throughout Floyd County
Schools we are providing excellent
learning opportunities for the children
of Floyd County.
My desire and the intention of my
statements were to consider that some
parents have expressed concerns
about the di tancc from their existing
school area and they should have the
opportunity to choose the school their
child attends. I also wanted to communicate that the di strict hould provide the transportation to both schools
for those interested, if at all po sible.
Present plans an~ to provide transportation only to the South Floyd
Middle School facility and I just want guage and our own lifestyle. T his cuTto make sure that my request was con- lure ha been developed over certsidered.

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
National Children's Dental Health Month emphasizes
~·' importance of healthy smiles and good health
by DR. AL PELPHREY
February
is
National
Children's Dental Health
Month. This month is set
aside each year by the
American Dental Association
and the American Academy of
Pediatric Dentistry to heighten
public awareness of the need
for good oral health in children.
Dental decay in children is
the single-most common
childhood disease, according
to the U.S. Surgeon General,
and is responsible for more
missed school days than any
other childhood disease.
Children with untreated dental
decay have difficulty concentrating in school due to the
pain associated with advanced
dental disease in addition to
negative effects on proper diet
and self-esteem.
Every parent wants their
~bild to have a beautiful and
Maltby smile. Insuring that
your child has healthy teeth
and gums begins very early in
life. Parents who provide their
child with proper nutrition,
good home oral care and
early/regular visits to the pediatric dentist can almost guarantee a lifetime of beautiful
smiles and good oral health for
their child.
Every parent is aware of the
importance of routine visits to
the pediatrician as a part of
their child's early health care
routine. What some parents
are not aware of is the importance of early and regular visits to their pediatric dentist as
well.
The American Academy of
Pediatric
Dentistry,
the
American Dental Association
and the American Academy of
Pediatrics all recommend that
your child should have their
first dental visit around the
appearance of their first tooth,
or around I year of age. By
doing so, you can assure your
child a lifetime of good oral
health.
The first dental visit allows
the pediatric dentist to check
for proper home care, proper
growth and development and
detect any early signs of dental
decay. Tooth decay in these
early years can have serious
implications for a lifetime.
It is at this ftrst visit that the
pediatric dentist and the parent
can discuss and make a plan
for a program to help keep the
child cavity free as well as
introduce them to the experience of visiting the dentist at
an early age which in turn
makes for happier dental visits
in the future.
The U.S. surgeon general
states that tooth decay in children is the most common
childhood disease and according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, has
been shown to becoming more
of a problem every day. The
CDC reported in 2007 a 15.2
percent increase in cavities
among 2- to 5-year-olds. One
of the reasons for the increase
in dental disease in young children is the fact that only 3-outof-5 children visit the pediatric
dentist once a year. Parents
may avoid taking their children to the pediatric dentist to ·
save money, but children who
have their first dental visit
before age 1 have 40 percent
lower dental costs prior in
their first 5 years of life, makmg preventive dental care a
healthy and economic beneftt.
Without early and regular
dental care, the impact of tooth
decay can be significant. It is
reported that children with significant dental problems miss
more school, weigh less, and
have lower self esteem than
those children who are disease
free. In addition, children who
suffer from untreated dental
disease are at an increase risk
for other health problems as
adults, such as increased risk
for low birth weigh babies,
developing heart disease and
suffering a stroke.
Even though baby teeth
will be eventually replaced by
permanent teeth it is important
that they be cared fqr and
remain in place until they are
lost naturally. The benefits of
caring for baby teeth are:
• Aiding in good nutrition
by allowing for proper chewing
• Aiding speech development
• Providing space for permanent teeth to come in
• Improving self esteem by
allowing for a healthy smile
Just as you would call upon
your child's pediatrician if
your child needed medical
care, you should call upon a
pediatric dentist to provide
your child with their dental
care in the early years of their
life. The pediatric dentist is
uniquely trained to care for
your child's early dental
needs. The pediatric dentist
completes an additional 2
years of advanced training
after dental school which prepares them to address the
unique needs of infants, children and adolescents, especially those with special health
care needs. Their offices are
designed with children in mind
which makes visits to the pediatric dentist fun and less
stressful or scary. In this
child-friendly environment,
the pediatric dentist can gain
your child's trust and .confidence, avoiding the fear that is
sometimes associated with
regular dental visits.
What can parents do to start
their children off right and
assure a lifetime of good oral
health? There are several
things parents can begin early
and maintain during the early
years of their child' s life to
accomplish this goal. These
are:
• Before the first tooth
erupts, begin cleaning your
child's gums with a soft cloth
and once the first tooth erupts
begin using an age appropriate
tooth brush and water to brush
every tooth twice a day.
• Talk to your pediatric
dentist about your child's fluoride needs. Infants require fluoride to develop strong and
healthy teeth. Avoid fluoride
containing toothpaste until
your child is 2 years old or
until they can spit out excess
toothpaste without swallowing
it.
• If you must put your
child to sleep with a bottle or
sippy cup use nothing but
water, as other sugary containing liquids can cause the teeth
to decay resulting in serious
damage to the teeth.
• If you breast feed, and
allow your child to nurse during the night, always clean the
teeth after nursing to remove
any residual breast milk from
around the teeth to prevent
dental decay.
• Never dip the pacifter
into honey or sweet things
prior to giving to your baby.
• The best times to brush
are twice a day, after breakfast
and before bedtime, spending
about 2-4 minutes cleaning
every surface of every tooth.
• Limit frequent snacks
• Take good care of your
own teeth as studies have
shown that babies and small
children can catch cavity causing bacteria from their parents.
• Visit your pediatric dentist when the ftrst tooth erupts
or by your child's first birthday.

Rev. Daniel Thomas Heintzelman, better known by generations of school children as "Mr. Dan," entered eternity on
Monday, January 28, 2008, at St. Joseph Martin Hospital (Our
Lady of the Way) following a long illness.
Dan was preceded in death by his parents and son-in-la
Jerry Gibson. He leaves his loving wife, Sylvia, and their children: Ruth Heintzelman-Wyatt (Tipton) of Alpharetta, GA;
David Heintzelman (Clydia) of Langley; and Kathy
Heintzelman-Gibson of Alpharetta, GA. Three grandchildren:
Greta Heintzelman Slone (Jamie), Cory Heintzelman (Jessica),
and Gerald Gibson. Five great-grandchildren: Caeli, Kenidee,
Aidan, Thomas, and Samuel, with the sixth due in February.
His family was honored to be by his side for over ftve
months while be afforded great effort toward his recovery. At
three hospitals many people shared stories of how Dan had
touched their lives through Christ's love. He taught thousands
of his Magoffin and Floyd Counties' beloved school children
valuable Bible lessons during his fourteen-year ministry in the
schools. Following the 1957 bus tragedy in Floyd Couhty, Dan
began a Sunday morning gospel music and devotional radio
program on WbOC and WQHY, and pastored his "secon'
family" at Spurlock Bible Church for over 50 years.
Dan's actions shared Christ by being a good citizen, a Legion
of Honor mem r of the Kiwanis Club for over 35 years of service, Pastoral are of St. Joseph Martin Hospital (Our Lady of
the Way Hospital) for approximately 35 years, working with
hospice, Chaplain and dispatcher of the Allen Fire Department
for over 20 years, and speaking in several churches, schools
and organizations within the community and state.
In 1983, Dan.joined in the ministry with Scripture Memory
Mountain Mission, better known as Camp Nathaniel. Dan
served in many ways including an eighteen-year tenure as a
member of the Board of Trustees. He enjoyed seeing much
progress in the growth and development of the Camp. Dan
was a valuable resource of Godly wisdom and counsel to
many of us which we will greatly miss.
In was brough,t to our attention that Dan would not want an arti
cle to be boastful about him, but would want all to know that it
is through Chri t that all things are possible. Dan possessed a
genuine love of Qod and His people, and without fail always went
to anyone in need with a grateful heart. He believed a Christian's
life should be happy and always ended his correspondence with
the complimentary closing, "Yours in the Joy of Christ."
It is requested that anyone wishing to remember Dan's life
and his love of the children and people of this area, give a
donation to: In Memory of Rev. Dan Heintzelman, Camp

f.Beshear: Million dollar donor not guaranteed casino license
I
by ROGER ALFORD
I
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANKFORT- Spending
more than $1 million on last
year's governor race won't
help a casino operator win the
right to open a gambling operat~on in Kentucky, Gov. Steve
' Beshear said Monday.
William Yung III . contributed $1 million to a political group that worked to elect
Beshear, a Democrat who
made a proposal to legalize
casinos in Kentucky a centerpiece in his campaign against
former Gov. Ernie Fletcher.
Yung also made a $1,000
campaign contribution to
1
t ' Beshear for the November
I
I,
I
election campaign, and contributed $10,000 to help pay
for Beshear's inaugural party
in December.
Beshear said Monday the
contributions don't give Yung
an edge on getting one of several potentially lucrative state
casino licenses if lawmakers
and Kentucky voters decide to
legaliLe
gambling
m
Kentucky. License sales,
Beshear said, could generate
hundreds of millions of dollars
for the state over the next two
years.
"Nobody's going to have an
inside track on them," Beshear
told reporters on Monday.
"It'll be all transparent and
above board."
------------------------------------------------

!:changes proposed
'
to give Kentucky
l
j :voters more say
I
I
I
Beshear met privately with
about 15 lawmakers on
Monday to talk about his proposal to legalize gambling in
Kentucky. Reporters were
ordered out of the room before
the meeting started.
Yung heads Columbia
Sussex Corp., the Kentuckybased firm that owns hotels
and casinos throughout the
including
the
country,
Tropicana in Las Vegas. The
company has owned the
Tropicana in New Jersey, but
casino
regulators
there
stripped it of its license in
December.
Columbia Sussex purchased property in northern
Kentucky last month for $7
million. Yung told The
Kentucky Enquirer in a story
published last week that he
plans to open a casino on the
site.
Yung did not return telephone
calls
from
The
Associated Press to his northern Kentucky office seeking
comment.
Meanwhile, the chairman
of the state Republican Party
called Monday for a federal
probe to ensure that Yung's
contributions don't lead to
preferential treatment. Steve
Robertson said he sent a twopage letter to the FBI's
Lexington oCfice asking that
agents ··begin asking the necessary questiOns of the necesc;ary individuals as soon as
possible.''
He said he wanted authOJ;ties to ensure that "no illegal
quid pro quo occurred"
between Beshear and Yung.
The governor dismissed
Robertson's letter as "politlcal
jockeying."
"I haven't seen the letter
and whatever the FBI wants to
investigate, certainly, they're
welcome to investigate,"
Beshear said.
FBI spokesman David
Beyer declined to comment.
Although Kentucky has a
long tradition of wagering at
horse tracks, state law specifically forbids casmos. Beshear
wants lawmakers to approve a
measure that would allow
Kentucky voters to change the
constitution to allow them.
Such a move, Beshear said,
could generate $500 million a
year in additional revenue for
state government.
Beshear said he plans to
unveil his gambling legislation
by Thursday.
Beshear raised and spent
$6.8 million on the election.
Yung's $1 million contribution
went to a Kentucky political
group, Bluegrass Freedom
Fund, that ran television ads
blasting Beshear's opponent in
the race. Yung contributed a
third of the $3 million the
Bluegrass Freedom Fund
spent during the governor's
race, according to a financial
report filed with the Internal
Revenue Service earlier this
month.
Bluegrass Freedom Fund is
a 527 organizat10n - named
after a section of the IRS code
that can raise unlimited
amounts of money but must
disclose its donors. Such
groups' activities must be separate from any political campaign.
During the campaign, the
Bluegrass Freedom Fund ran a
series of negative ads attacking Fletcher, a Repubhcan, for
a state hiring scandal that
marred his administration.•The
ads reminded viewers ·that
Fletcher and some of his. top
aides had been indicted on
allegations of illegal hiring
practices. The charges against
Fletcher were eventually
dropped in a settlement, and
he issued pardons to the oth.ers
charged.

FRANKFORT
• Beginning with Iowa and New

country have lined up to be

Oval Office.
1
But Kentucky, the state that
I r gave
birth to Abraham
I Lincoln, for the most part can
! only sit back and watch, due to
: · its late primary date. The
state's top election official and
l the state Senate president,
' pushing different plans, are
1
1 looking to change that come
I
, four years from now.
After all, the last time
Kentucky didn't correctly pick
the winning president in the
general election was 1960
, when it selected Richard
Nixon over John F. Kennedy.
"We're obviously irrelevant
when it comes to Super
Tuesday," Secretary of State
,'J?reY. Grayson &aW last week
about Kentucky. "We have a
shot at being more relevant."
Coast to coast, more than
• 20 states took part in presiden' tial primaries last Tuesday,
weighing in on who the
' Democratic and Republican
candidates should be this
November. Not Kentucky,
, whose primary doesn't happen
' until May 20 this year.
By the time the Bluegrass
state gets its say in the presidential race, all but Montana,
Oregon and South Dakota and Republicans in Idaho and
I
l'
New Mexico- will have held
presidential primaries.
Grayson supports a rotating
regional primary plan and
hopes it could be in place for
the 2012 election.
The National Association
of Secretaries of State, of
which Grayson is treasurer and
an executive committee member, has supported the plan for
nearly a decade, Grayson
spokesman Les Fugate said.
Grayson was the main speaker
at the group's annual winter
meeting in Washington last
week, where he touted the plan
and the organization released a
report calling for its adoption.
Rotating regional primaries
means dividing the country
into four regions. Each grouping of states would hold their
primaries four months apart,
and the order would rotate
every four years. So, each
region would get to go first
every 16 years.
'Nationally, Republican and
Democratic party leaders are
pondering
the
change,
Grayson said, pointing out that
there are others also under
consideration.
There are different ways a
rotating primary could take
effect. Each state could enter
into a compact to adopt it;
Congress could pass a law,
although there is some question on constitutionality; and
the two major political parties
could adopt the plan and figure
out how to have states

Changes
• <fontlnued from p7
accquntable, Fugate said.
A separate proposal by
Senate
President
David
Williams, like Grayson a
Republican, is more immediate and- unlike rotating primaries doesn't require
approval from anyone outside
of Kentucky. It would allow
the state to join with other
states on Super Tuesday.
"Well, we would have an
opportunity to vote," Willia~s
said of his plan that sailed
thrtlngh the state Senate earlier
thi ~ month.
H would cost Kentucky
between $5 million to $7 million, Grayson said.
The expense would be
worthwhile because it gives
Ket\tuckians a louder voice in
chdOsing
the
president,
Williams has said.
Following Super Tuesday,
John McCain sealed the GOP
nomination
with
Mitt
Romney's departure last
Thursday.
Meanwhile,
Democrats Hillary Rodham
Clinton and Barack Obama
remained in a close race.
"To me, the outcome of
Super Tuesday shows the system is still broken, it sti 11
needs to be fixed and our plan
is the best way to do that," said
Gray~on,
who supported
Romney's candidacy. " As a
Kentuckian, I'm used to not
having a direct say in the presidential nominating process.
Whether I was for Mitt
Romney or John McCain, I
just know that I don't have
much of an impael."
The front-loaded nature of
the primary system this y~ar
made it tough for candidates
with less financial prowess such as John Edwards or Bill
Richardson, Grayson said.
Ncvcitheless, the uniqueness of
the Democratic race - pitting
two well-financed, well-known
opponents against each otherultimately may keep Kentucky
in play, Grayson !>aid.
"It's possible that voters will
be enfranchised all along the
country," Grayson said.
As for Kentuck~ possibly
joining Super Tuesday states,
Williams' proposal faces an
uncertain
future
in the
Democrat-controlled House,
one lawmaker said.
Rep. Darryl Owens, DLouisville, chairman of the
House elections committee
where Williams' bill is pending,
said last week he hadn't seen
the proposal.
Owens said he was open to
change, but pointed out that
Kentucky Democrats may have
more say this year because of
the tight race between Obama
and Clinton.
"I think we might very well
wincf up being relevant,"
Owens -.aiel. "A lot or times the
election could be over on Super
Tuesday. but tl1is time l think
we might wind up being a player.''
.A
spoke!>man for Gov.
Steve Beshear, Dick Brown,
did not have an immediate
response about whether the
governor supporrs changing
the current system.
Frankfort resident Jonathan
Curry, a mental health professional, said he would like to
see more candidates campaign
in Kentucky. He realizes,
though, that Kentucky's small
population may hinder those
efforts.
"I feel left out of the
process, since we're not able to
be part of the early primary
process," Curry sa1d. "I would
enlist at the Center for Politics
at the University of Virginia,
said the current primary sy~
tem is " totally nuts" and needs
to be changed. Sabato, however, feels the rotating regional'
proposal supported by Grayson
is not without flaws. Sabato
suggests a more random, lottery-type regional syste
would be better.
.
In a set rotatmg
system, '
presidential candidates would''
know which states would be '
the early electoral battlegrounds and would still set up
shop well in advance, Sabato
said, and would simply switch
states each time around.
'The whole point is to keep '
them from moving into a
region and starting a fullblown presidential campaign
years in advance like they do in "
Iowa and New Hampshire ,"~
Sabato said.
Jove to see the candidates come
and campaign here. I also realize we're not a very populous
state."
State leaders from both
major parties say they're at
least open to change.
Jennifer
Moore,
Democratic chairwoman, said
a different system would likely
lead to more focus on
Kentucky.
"We need to be open to discussion on changing the piimary system, whether we look at
more regional primaries or
something else," Moore said.
"We definitely need to look at
improving the system so more
people have a voice."
Her Republican counterpart, Steve Robertson. said
cost, however, is a factor.
''It would be great if
Kentucky could have a more
prominent voice in the presidential primaries," Robertson
said through a spokeswoman.
"But our main concern is
always how much moving the
pdmaries is going to cost local
governments."

Trial
• Continued from p1
defendant registered with the
probation and parole office in
September 2004 upon moving
to Floyd County from West
Virginia, and set up a residence
at his brother's home at Rough
and Tough.
In March 2005, the defenc.f*'t changed his address to a
residence in Martin, though his
mailing address remained the
same, due to ongoing construction in downtown Martin.
1t was apparent through the
presentation of several copies
of sex offender registration
forms signed and modified by
the defendant, that were
entered into evidence by
Commonwealth's
Attorney
Arnold Brent Turner, that the
defendant showed a clear
understanding of his responsibilities and the process.
~On July 12, 2006, a law was
passed forbidding sex offenden~ from living within 1,000
feet of a school, day care facility or public playground.
According to the law, those in
violation had 90 days to move.
In response to this the
detendant once again filed a
change of address form with
th~ Floyd County Probation
and Parole due to his proximity
to Opportunities Unlimited,
and moved back to his brother's home.
The problem, the commonwealth contends, is that Moore
in fact not living at his
brother's home at Rough and .
Tough, but was actually living
on
Front
Street,
in
Prestonsburg, at the home of
Eva Collins. Collins' home is
approximately one block from
Irene Cole First Baptist
Church.
According to testimony
g)ven at the trial. Gorman
Collins, son of Eva Collins,
who passed away in August
2006, said that Moore and his
brother had been hired on to do
a number or projects at his
mother's home. The defendant
allegedly began living at the
home in May 2006.
"Mother was almost 87 ."
Collins said. "She liked to have
people around, and Sam (the
defendant) was someone she
could talk to."
Collins said that the defendant was very helpful, and
accommodating, and seemed
to have a genuine concern for
his mother.
Collins said that everyone
knew he was staying there. He
added that the defendant would
let him know when he would
not be there by saying,
"Someone needs to come over
and check on Nanny ~Eva
Collins). I'm not going to be
there."
Collins went so far as to say
the defendant was "almost
family," and that Collins' sons
had been left under the care
and supervision of the defendant on occasion.
A problem arose ·when
Collins learned, two days prior
to the defendant's arrest, that
the man who had been living
with his mother, whom they
had befriended, was a registered sex offender.
"Tha~ was the most hurtful," Collins said, adding that
the defendant had never told
them, and that they had learned
about it from a friend who had
found his name on the registry.
After opening statements
and several witnesses, the
defense's case was pinned primarily to no one being able to
state with certainty that the
defendant slept or lived in the
home of Eva Collins.
During the cross-examination of Collins, defense attorneys asked if he had ever gone
into the defendant's room and
taken inventory of his possessions. Collins indicated he had
not, nor had he stayed
overnight at his mother's to
verify that the defendant was
actually sleeping there.
In a redirect from the
Commonwealth, Turner asked
Collins, "Did you ever tuck in
the defendant, read him a bedtime story?" to which Collins
said no. When Turner asked
him agail). if he was certain the
defendant was living there,
Collins responded, "Yes."
Pam Collins, daughter of
Eva Collins, had been called to
testify eru·Jier, and had stated
that she had dated the defendant for several months, and it
was during this period that the
defendant became acquainted
with her mother.
She stated that during their
relationship, the defendant had
spent m·any nights at her home,
which is next door to her mother's. Gormon Collins' home is
also nearby, just down the
Bridge
rainbow arch single-lane
bridge is believed to not only
be the biggest and last of its
kind in the <;tate, but in the
country.
As the article notes, originally there was a twin bridge
that was located on the south
end of Prestonsburg that connected the city to Town
Branch. That bridge was torn
down in 2002 and replaced by
one of modern design.
During the meeting Graden
also announced that the city's
outstanding property taxes
have been posted online, and
that the clock is ticking on the
30-day amnesty period in
which residents can pay their
property taxes without penalty.
The city council also voted
to donate $1,000 to the

acts for a job that required him
to operate cars and trucks upon
public roadways."
According to court records,
in two separate incidents in

charged with the following
combined offenses: speeding

vehicle under the influence of ·
alcohol/drugs, operating on

of an open beverage container,
as well as first-degree possession of drugs and possession of

Winter storm forces cancellation of Lincoln Bicentennial event
by .BRUCE SCHREINER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE
For
Lincoln lovers, a winter storm
created
some
unwanted
authenticity that ruined plans
celebrate
Abraham
to
Lincoln's 199th birthday
•Tuesday at his central
Kentucky birthplace.
Ice coated the birthplace
site near Hodgenville, leading
officials to cancel a late-morning ceremony promoted as a
kick off of a two-year national
bicentennial commemoration
of the nation's 16th president.
First lady Laura Bush postponed her visit to the Lincoln
birthplace amid a treacherous
combination of snow and ice
, , that hit the region. The first
lady was to lead a guest list
expected to include Interior
Secretary Dirk Kempthorne,
members of Congress and
actor Sam Waterston.
Organizers anticipated up
to 5,000 people for the cele-
bration, which had been
planned for years.
"It's a tremendous disappointment," said Tommy
Turner, judge-executive of
LaRue County, where the
birthplace is located, and a key
organizer Qf the event.
The National Park Service
brought in about 90 rangers
from 14 states to assist at the
Abraham Lincoln Birthplace
National Historic Site, said
Linda Friar, a park service
spokeswoman. Some helped
oversee preparations for the
event. Others would have mingled with visitors, talking
about the history of the site.
"Making the park look as
sharp as it could for the public,
it takes quite a few people,"
she\aid.
Stages had been built near
the memorial building, an
imposing granite and marble
structure that enshrines a small
cabin symbolic of the homestead where Lincoln was born
on Feb. 12, 1809. A Lincoln
Fire marshal's office
offers tips for coping
..with power outages
FRANKFORT
The
recent outbreak of severe
weather prompted residents in
affected areas to cope with the
resulting power outages. The
State Fire Marshal's Office
reminds citizens to be cautious
as they turn to supplemental
heating sources or operate
generators to maintain power.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is
an invisible, odorless gas created by the incomplete burning
of fuels such as )¥Ood, coal and
natural gas. It is harmless
when properly vented to the
outdoors. However, it can kill
if allowed to build up inside a
building,
said
Richard
Peddicord, assistant director of
the . Division
of
Fire
Prevention. In 2005, fire
departments around the country responded to 61,000 calls
involving carbon monoxide,
according to the National Fire
Protection
Association
(NFPA).
"Unfortunately,
carbon
monoxide poisoning is a fairly
common
occurrence,"
Peddicord said. "However, we
can reduce these incidents if
residents take basic pr~cau
tions."
The NFPA offers these tips
to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning:
• Buy a carbon monoxide
detector and install it in a cen' tral area in your home. This
evice is similar to a smoke
detector and will alert you if
an unsafe CO level is found. If
the detector sounds an alarm,
call the non emergency num-
ber for your local fire department to respond and evaluate
the situation, then get out of
the house.
• Have heating sources
such as fireplaces and stoves
professionally inspected each
season before use to ensure
they are venting properly.
• If you use a portable generator, run it outdoors away
from doors, windows and vent
openings. Each year, more CO
deaths are blamed on portable
generators as sales of the
devices have grown, says the
NFPA.
Besides carrying the risk of
CO poisoning from inadequate
vel\tilation, a generator, if
improperly used, can threaten
life and property.
The NFPA offers these tips
on the use of a portable generator:
• Make sure the generator
is properly sized for the electrical load that your appliances will place on it.
• If using an extension
cord, make sure it is a heavyduty, grounded cord with a
three-prong plug.
• A generator may be connected to the house wiring system, but this must be done
ONLY by a licensed electrician. The electrician will
install a transfer switch that
will ensure power does not
flow back into the power lines
when service is restored.
Failure to install this switch
can cause electrocution of a
utility worker and an electrical
fire.
relative later recalled it was
bitterly cold and sleeting the
day the future president was
born.
Hundreds of folding chairs
were brought in for the ceremony, as well as tents for displays and souvenirs.
Friar said the park service
estimated the cost would be
$185,000 but a final tally wasn't yet available.
Local residents also put in
lots of work to cater to guests
who never showed up.
Carl Howell, owner of the
Nancy Lincoln Inn, a souvenir
shop and museum next to the
birthplace site, said his wife
and her sisters were up most of
the night before making pies
as well as ham and sausage
biscuits to sell to hungry visitors. Someone else planned to
sell burgoo, a Kentucky-style
stew.
Howell planned to sell the
apple and peach pies for $2
apiece. He ended ilp unloading
them for a buck apiece, or giving them away, mostly to
locals as well as a few
reporters at the birthplace.
"People found out about it and
they were loading up and taking them home in bags by the
droves," he said.
He didn't · fault organizers
for not having a backup plan to
stage the celebration indoors,
saying there was no place to
accommodate the thousands
expected.
Howell said he ·and park
service officials spent time
commiserating about the bad
luck.
"We just kind of sobbed on
each other's shoulders," he
said .
David Early, a spokesman
for the national Lincoln
Bicentennial
Commission,
said it was too soon to discuss
possible plans to reschedule
the ceremony.
Two other events at
Hodgenville went ahead as
scheduled Tuesday - a luncheon put on by members of
the community and a dedication ceremony for the first
marker for the Lincoln
Heritage Trail.
Hodgenville residents had
spent a few years gearing up
for the celebration that
promised to put the national
spotlight on the town of about
3,000. "The community was
ready to shine," Turner said.
Turner said he was hopeful
another event could be scheduled at the birthplace.
The birthplace site draws
about 200,000 people each
year, and officials are expecting a bump in visitations this
year amid Lincoln hoopla.
Events
commemorating
Lincoln's birth will be held all
year acro<.,s the country leading
to the 200th anniversary in
2009, and then will continue
on through the following year.
Lincoln was born in a small
cabin at Sinking Spring farm
near
what
became
Hodgenville. Two years later,
a land dispute led the family to
move a few miles away to
Knob Creek farm, where
young Abe formed his earliest
memories. The family lived
there until 1816 when they
moved to Indiana. Lincol,n
later moved to Illinois.
Lincoln is revered as the
commander in chief who held
together the Union during e
Civil War and issued the
Emancipation Proclamation to
end slavery.

Outhouse diggers scour land for 19th century artifacts
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI - Digging
around in 19th century outhouses doesn't sound like
most people's idea of a fun
weekend. Eddie Brater and
Mike Kalchek would argue
otherwise.
Brater and Kalchek spend
many weekends excavating
150-year-old filled-in privies
-also known as outhousesin the backyards of homes in
Cincinnati and nearby northern Kentucky. They search for
items that early homeowners
routinely threw in them. They
have found glass bottles, china
dishes, toys, coins, utensils
and even intricately carved
pipes.
"It' like treasure hunting,"
said Kalchek, 56, of suburban
St. Bernard, who started digging 11 years ago.
The men collect some artifacts for themselves and sometimes sell to other collectors.
Brater began digging in his
backyard about eight years
ago, finding seven privies on
the acre of land. He has since
started a Web site and given
presentations to local historical societies and libraries.
"lt's just a neat look into
history," said Brater, 42, of
suburban Crosby Township.
Using long metal probes to
poke around for the stone or
wood homeowners used to line
privies, the men Clig with shovels and then refill the holes
after retrieving any artifacts.
They dig for free and offer
to split their proceeds with
interested homeowners. They
won't disclose how much
they've made from selling artifacts, saying they don't want
to encourage reckless digging.
Brater has written how-to
guides and poetry about his
hobby and says he doesn't
know any diggers who do it
just to make money.
"It's the love for history
and the feeling of stepping
back in time that draws the
privy digger," Brater said.
The hobby has been growing over the past decade, with
Web sites offering instructions
and more people now aware of
the value of some rare bottles
and other 19th century artifacts.
Many professional archaeologists and historians, however, are critical of untrained
privy diggers.
"Privies contain a wealth of
information about people's
lifestyles and their diets and
their health, and all that infor-
mation gets lost when these
guys go in and just chum the
stuff up," said David Pollack,
site protection program manager for the Kentucky Heritage
Council and director of the·
Kentucky
Archaeological
Survey.
Artifacts unearthed by
archaeologists also remain in
the public trust, said Robert
Genheimer, a curator of
archaeology at the Cincinnati
Museum Center. Five cases of
artifacts - including a police
uniform - unearthed from
privies
in
downtown
Cincinnati in 1981 are on display at the center's Museum of
Natural History and Science.
Amateur privy diggers also
can face physical dangers and
legal problems. A bottle collector excavating a privy in
Cincinnati in 1984 was killed
after the earth collapsed on
him, and diggers also can be
exposed to viruses and bacteria that can survive for years
underground.
Evidence of 19th century
infectious diseases, including
tuberculosis, malaria, cholera,
yellow fever and smallpox
have shown up in some privy
deposits, said Ken Tankersle
an archaeologist and anthr pology professor at the
University of Cincinnati.
There apparently are no
Ohio or Kentucky laws preventing privy diggers from
excavating artifacts on private
property as long as they obtain
owner
permission,
but
Tankersley
says
the
Archaeological
Resources
Protection Act of 1979 prohibits people from excavating
and removing artifacts from
public or Indian lands without
federal permits.
The East Kentucky Expo Center has announced that country
duo Sugarland will be performing in Pikeville on April 5.
Sugarland, which has been nominated for five CMT awards,
will be appearing with Rodney Atkins. Tickets go on sale
Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Expo Center box office, all

Democrat Andrew Horne
drops out of U.S. Senate race
The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE
Louisville lawyer and former
Marine Andrew Horne has
dropped his bid for the U.S.
Senate.
Home was one of a handful
of Democrats hoping to supplant longtime Republican
Senator Mitch McConnell.
Horne gave no reason
Monday for dropping out of
the race just two weeks after
the deadline to file for office.
Home didn't endorse any of
the other candidates, but criticized McConnell's leadership,
saying in a statement that
McConnell is more interested
in gaining power than helping
the people he represents.
This is the second failed
campaign for Home in the last
two years. He lost a bid for the
Democratic nomination for the
Congressional
seat
in
Kentucky 's 3rd District to
John Yarmuth in 2006.
Yarmuth would go on to beat
incumbent Anne Northup m
the general election.

--• NEW YORK - Finding
your
better
half
this
Valentine's Day could be as
easy as hailing a taxi - especially if Ahmed Ibrahim is in
the driver's seat.
The 53-year-old cupid cab
driver, as he refers to himself,
has spent the past few years
playing matchmaker to lonely
New Yorkers, setting up more
than 70 dates. Nineteen have
led to relationships that lasted
more than a year.
Ibrahim planned to decorate his yellow cab with red
and white hearts and roses for
Thursday.
"I've organized so many
dates, and it really makes me
feel good about it," Ibrahim
said. "I've not had one complaint."
Ibrahim said he offers his
matchmaking services to passengers he evaluates by listening to conversations and asking a few questions. He then
exchanges phone numbers and
e-mail addresses.
"I want to know if they're
the real deal or just a player,"
he said. "If you're a player,
then forget about it."
One of his clients, Martin
Karamon, said he successfully
found romance through the
cupid cab's services. The relationship ended after about six
tnonths, though the two
remain friends.
"I might have to get in his
cab again because I just broke
up with my girlfriend," said
Karamon, 3 7.
• PHILADELPHIA
Monday mornings are hard
enough. Imagine finding 50
Chickens running loose in your
high school.
Workers arnvwg about
5:30 a.m. to open Northeast
High School in Philadelphia
found dozens of hens and
roosters wandering around the
hallways. The birds were
apP,arently brought to the
schbol sometime over the
weekend, said school district
spokesman Fernando Gallard.
"We don't know where the
chickens came from or who
they belong to," Gallard said.
"I'm pretty sure there is a very
upset poultry farmer somewhere who wants them back."
The floors were covered
with droppings and chicken
feed. Most of the school's
3,600 students were sent home
for the day because the school
required extensive cleanup, he
said.
A farmer was called to
round up the birds and bring
them to Fox Chase Farm, the
district's agricultural school,
Gallard said.
Police are checking surveillance tapes to see if they can
determine the perpetrator of
the fowl prank. The culprit
will have to pay a hefty fine,
said Gallard.
"It's not going to be chicken scratch," he said.
• ADRIAN, Mich. -Ask
and you shall receive in
Lenawee County Circuit
Court.
A man who pleaded guilty
to vnarmed robbery faced no
more than a year in the county
jail but asked to be sent to
prison instead to help his
chances of rehabilitation.
Michael Thomas Isaacson
got' what he wanted on
ThQrsday when a judge sentenced him to 17 months to 15
years in state prison, with a
recommendation for a psychological evaluation and counseling.
told
Judge
Isaacson
Timothy P. Pickard he believes
programs available in state
prisons will help him "get
back on my feet," while a year
in the county jail would leave
his situation the same as when
he was arrested.
Isaacson was caught minutes after robbing a movie theater employee, who was carrying a bank deposit bag.
Jsaacson said he had no gun
~uring the robbery.
Defense lawyer Robert
Jameson said Isaacson does
not understand why he committed the robbery.
"He chose the cinema
because he used to work at the
cinema. He knows the victim.
He perceived it as a low-risk
::rime," Jameson said .
ing a federal prosecutor's hand
so hard, authorities said, that it
injured her shoulder.
Kathy Brewer Rentas , 49,
was arrested Thursday after
attending a court hearing for
her husband, who was accused
of violating the terms of his
probation for a cocaine distribution case. The husband,
Anthony Rentas, was sentenced to 90 days of house
arrest.
After the hearing, Brewer
Rentas asked to shake hands
with Assistant U.S. Attorney
Jennifer Keene.
A court security officer
reported that Brewer Rentas
shook Keene's hand so forcefully that the prosecutor's arm
was nearly ripped out of its
socket.
"With Keene in hand,
Brewer made an upward, then
a quick downward motion and
pulled Keene toward the
ground moving her forward,
almost causing Keene to fall to
the ground," Deputy U.S .
Marshall Robert Kremenik Jr.
wrote in an arrest report.
"Assaulting a federal officer is something that we will
take very seriously and prosecute vigorously," said Alicia
Valle, a U.S. Attorney's Office
spokeswoman. "As a member
of the bar, she should know
better."
Brewer Rentas' attorney,
Gwendolyn Tuggle, told the
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
her client never meant to hurt
Keene.
Brewer Rentas spent a
night in jail and was freed
Friday on $100,000 bail. She
·was ordered to stay away from
Keene and undergo a psychological evaluation to determine whether she needs counseling.
Brewer Rentas works as a
commercial litigation attorney
for a law firm in Hollywood,
Fla. If convicted, she faces up
to a year in prison and could
be penalized by the Florida
Bar.
There will not only be a
prize for the best resemblance
to Hayes, but also others in
categories including longest,
neatest and most unusual
beards.
• PHILADELPHIA - It
might be the strangest way to
spend Presidents Day.
For the first time, The
Academy of Natural Sciences
is displaying a scrapbook that
has locks of hair from the first
12 U.S. prestdents. It will be
on view Feb. 16-18.
The presidential "hair
album" was assembled . by
Peter Arvell Browne, a
Philadelphia attorney and
scholar of the natural sciences
who collected thousands of
samples of animal fur and
human hair in the 1840s and
1850s and organized them in a

• MADISON, Wis. - A
sheriff's deputy wound up
stuck for 14 hours in
underground tunnel used to move
jail inmates to a courthouse
because no one was there to
unlock the door.
When
Dane
County
Sheriff' s
Deputy
Dave
Hafeman entered the 8-by-8foot passageway leading to the
tunnel Friday afternoon, the
guard who controls the heavy
metal doors on each side had
gone home for the weekend.
"This is an area that, again,
is secure, and the doors lock
behind you as soon as you
enter," sheriff's spokeswoman
Elise Schaffer said Monday.
"And once you ' re in, you're
really at the mercy of the controller to let you in or out."
Hafeman, a 14-year member of the sheriff's department,
was not discovered until his
wife called police because he
never returned from work.
Detectives found Hafeman's
car parked in the county ramp
and traced him to the tunnel.
Schaffer wasn't sure why
Hafeman, who was unhurt,
had entered the tunnel in the
first place.

SEC: Bradley leads UK over short- h ande:d Alabatna
by JEFFREY McMURRAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON - Alabama's star
was getting sick just as Kentucky's
was getting better, so the outcome
was rather predictable for the reeling
Crimson Tide and surging Wildcats.
Ramel Bradley had 19 points inc1uding three dutch 3-pointers. in his return to the lineup as
Kentucky cruised 62-52 Saturday
over an Alabama team playing without leading scorer and rebounder
Richard Hendrix, who had the flu.
"I feel bad for him," Bradley said.
"It's not a good feeling at all to be so
sick you can't do anything."
Bradley should know.
The spark plug senior guard who
seldom misses a minute of a game,
let alone an entire one as he did earlier this week against Auburn, had
spent most of the week in bed recovering from a concussion and stomac.h virus.
Alabama certainly felt the
absence of Hendrix, one of the
nation's top big men who averages
19 points and 10 rebounds a game.
Even without him. the Crimson Tide
was competitive near the basket,
outscoring the Wildcats in the paint
26-24.
..You do things differently obviously because the ball goes to
Richard so much, but all of our guys
played hard," Alabama coach Mark
Gottfried said. "You're not going to
reinvent the game with one guy out."
Kentucky ( 12-9, 6-2) has been
rolling in Southeastern Conference
play, winning five straight games
and lurking just behind Tennessee
for first place in the East. The
Crimson Tide (13 -11, 2 -7) has now
lost seven of its last nine.
Bradley's return to good health
was just what the doctor ordered for
Kentucky.
In two key stretches - first when
Alabama was building its own early
lead, then later when it was trying to
cut into Kentucky's advantage Bradley's 3-pointcrs gave the
Wildcats a boost.
The Crimson Tide had led by
eight points early as Kentucky
missed its first seven 3-point
attempts. That immediately changed
when Bradley nailed two in the span
of 40 seconds to cut the Kentucky
deficit to 23-21.
Midway through the second half,
when Alabama pulled to within three
points, Bradley came to the rescue
again with a long-range bucket after
he chased down a de11ected missed
'shot by Patrick Patterson.
"It was great having Ramel back
out there," Patterson said. "He
brings a lot of energy to the team.''
Derrick Jasper gave Kentucky its
only
non-Bradley
3-pointer
moments later as the Wildcats were
on their way to what turned into a
relatively easy victory.
Alabama led throughout the first
half until Joe Crawford's one-hanltled jumper seconds before halftirl1e
sent the Wildcats to the break ahe~ld
28-27. Alabama would later tic the
score but never regain the lead.
Bradley played only 29 minutes
rather than his usual 40, and coa•;:h
Billy GiJiispie chewed him out dttring an early timeout, com:er ~d

"I didn't think he was leading< •ur

BIG EAST: Louisville shuts down George ·own, 59-51

(onference win
by WILL GRAVES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOUISVILLE - Louisville
coach Rick Pitino started sweating through his all-white suit
while pacing the sidelines durin& the ftrst half against No. 6
Georgetown on Saturday. He
decided at the half it was time to
get back to basics.
So, apparently, did his team.
Clad in a more traditional
black suit in the second half,
Pitino watched the Cardinals
return to the fundamentals that
have keyed their rise through
the Big East. Louisville shut
down the Hoyas over the tina!
20 minutes for a convincing 5951 victory to shake up a conference race that for weeks
appeared to be a foregone conclusion.
David Padgett scored 18
points, Jerry Smith added 16
and the Cardinals (18-6, 8-3 Big
East) held Georgetown (19-3, 92) to 20 points in the second
half, snapping the Hoyas' sixgame winning streak by playing
the kind of clampdown defense
that has become Georgetown's
trademark.
"This is the best win I've
ever experienced as a player,''
Padgett said. "It all struts with
dctensc. We struted the game, [
think we might have been a little nervous. In the second half
we · played defense the way
we're all capable of."
The Cardinals held the
Hoyas to just 35 percent shooting in the second half, keeping
Georgetown without a tield goal
for a decisive eight-minute
stretch in which Louisville took
command.
Austin Freeman and Roy
Hibbert led the Hoyas with 14
points apiece, but Georgetown
te11 apart during an uncharacteristically sloppy second half.
Louisville
harried
Georgetown with its press, forcing the normally deliberate
Hoyas into 15 turnovers. When
the Hoyas did manage to get
into their offensive sets, they
rushed shots and hardly played
with the efticiency that has carried them aJl season. ·
"I think (Louisville) just executed extremely well," said
Georgetown
coach
John
Thompson Ill. "lt's the simple
things. It's a simple game. They
executed and we didn't."
The Hoyas appeared to be in
total control at the half, bullying
their way to an eight-point lead
that grew to 33-23 moments into
the second on a hook shot by
Hibbett.
Louisville, which had stumbled rmough an erratic flrst half
in which it had more turnovers
(10) than field goals (seven),
suddenly righted itself as Pitino
urged them not to panic.
"I just told them to play it
possession by possession, play
great defense," Pitino said. "As
long as you play great deiCnse,
you' II always have a chance. We
turned up the pressure in our
press and that helped."
So did an offense that
stopped trying to impose its will
against the bigger, stronger
Hoyas. Rather than msh shots
and force passes into tight
spaces a., they did in the ftrst
half, the Cardinals became more
methodical in the second. The
result was better shots, the
unchallenged kind that Pitino
said arc the key to his team's
success.
Terrence Williams got it
going with a couple of runners
in the lane and the Cardinals
took off from there. Smith hit
back-to-back 3-pointers during
an 11 -0 run that gave the
Cardinals a 44-37lead with 9:24
to play.

NF H S: New spirit ru le s hel p min ijm ize risk
TIMES STAFF REPORT
fNDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Five revisions related to tlyers
and transitional stunts were
among the changes approved by
the National Federation of State
High School Associations
(NFHS) Spirit Rules Committee
at its January 6-8 meeting in
Indianapolis. These revisions
were subsequently approved hy
the NFHS Board of Directors.
The committee recognized
the increasing number of lossof-contact transitional stunts,
and revised rules requiring flyers
to "maintain hand-to-hand/arm
contact with at least one bracer
during the entire loss of contact
with her bases." This increases
the stability of the tTanSiltons,
which helps minimize the risk to
the t1yer.
"Cheerleading teams are getting so good that we want to continue to allow loss-of-cont~ct
stunts," said Susan Loomis, liaison to the NFHS Spirit Rules
Committee. "But we also want
to help maintain the well-being
uf uur particip<mts."
For this reason, Rule 2-6-10
was revised to include conditions similar to Rule 2-12-1 and
2. These conditions must be met
or physical contact must remain
between the flyer and base.
Some of the conditions include
that "the flyer does not become
inverted, the flyer has at least
two bases and each t1yer and
bracer has a separate spotter."
Along with other conditions. the
flyer's weight must not be supported by the bracer.
"Bracers have become a huge
part of stunts," Loomis said.
''But, they are there to brace a"
not to support a i1yer's weight."
Changes were made to Rule
2-8-2b to state that during a stunt
in which the flyer is inve•ted, the
"base or spotter must maintain
contact with the flyer from the
inverted position until the flyer is
no longer inverted," helping to
stabilize the stunt.
A change in Rule 2-9-1 a
allows a forward suspended roll
to also be legal from the performing surface if "the flyer
begins from the petfomung sur-
face or from a stunt at shoulder
height or below." Allowing a
forward suspended roll fi·om the
perfonning surface does not present more risk than forward suspended rolls from stunL<;, provided two bases are used.
The committee also changed
the detinition of an inverted
position to say "shoulders below
waist" to accurately reflect the
intent of the inverted flyer rule.
The~;c were also revisions to
injury-related rules. Rule 2-l-14
was adjusted to maintain consistency with all other NFHS sports
regru·ding participants who are
bleeding.
An exception was added to
Rule 3-1-6 to allow "Ped.inistyle dance shoes or others with
heels of sufficient heigl] t to raise
the bottom of the fooJ off the
floor'' to prevent injury and uisease.
In addition to mles changes,

Morehead State to reduce number of

TIMES STAFF REPORT
MOREHEAD
Morehead State University
Director of Intercollegiate
Athletics Brian Hutchinson
Friday announced that, beginning with the 2008-09 school
year, Morehead State will
sponsor 16 intercollegiate
sports, down from 18 currently.
Women's golf, already led
by Head Coach Stephanie
Barker, will field its first competitive team since 1984. The
men's and women's rit1e programs will be consolidated
into a mixed team and the
institution will no longer sponsor men's and women's indoor
track and field. Outdoor track
and tleld will remain.
It is the first realignment of
intercollegiate sports at MSU
since women's soccer was
added in 1998. Hutch in son
also announced that MSU will
add NCAA women's bowling
and equestrian program!'! within the next 4-6 years.
"This realignment is the
culmination of a well-considered, thoughtful process that
began nearly two years ago,"
Hutchinson stated. "We were
aided by Alden & Associates, a
consulting firm which studied
our Title IX compliance measures."
"Ultimately, we have to
consider how m<my sports we
can sponsor with adequate
financial resources, how we
manage them within the context of Title IX compliance.
and how can we offer the best
experience possible for our
student-athletes," Hutchinson
added. "We feel these steps
lead us in that direction.''
Hutchinson added that the
plan was endorsed by MSU's
Intercollegiate
Athletics
Committee and approved by
President Wayne D. Andrews.
'This new direction for our
athletics program comes at an
opportune time when we are
engaged in a careful review of
all aspects of the institutional
budget,"
said
President
Andrews. "Refocusing
resources for improved efficiency and effectiveness in'
any program is a positive step.
In athletics, as well as academics, we want to be best we
can afford to be.'' •

NASCAR's most popular driver

Johnson, who won his second straight series title last year
in a tough battle with Gordon,
welcomes the addition of
Earnhardt to the Hendrick stable and said rivalry within a
team c~n be a powerful
weapon.
"I think we've really used
the rivalry between the cars in a
positive way," Johnson said.
"When we're outrun by one of
our teammates, we know what
they have versus what we have.
So we're able to bring our car
to that spot and try to beat
them. And then they now and
the progression starts.
"I really think last year we
saw it in the Chase more than
anything. The notebooks were
open, we were all honest and
true about where are cars were,
what we were doing, and we
brought the best out of each
other and I feel took HMS to a
off."
Stewart capped a tumultuous
24 hours by finishing second.
The two-time series champion and Kurt Busch were told to
steer clear of each other in a
Saturday morning meeting
because of an altercation on the
track that carried over into the
NASCAR hauler. Stewart
allegedly punched Busch during
the confrontation, but aU participants in that meeting refused to
confirm or deny the altercation.
The attention surrounding
Stewart dimmed the focus that's
been on Earnhardt since he
signed with Hendrick last June.
All eyes were on his debut, and
Stewart was a nice distraction
for him. As he headed to his car
before the race, Earnhardt
pushed through a throng of photographers to joke with the temperamental two-time champion.
"Tony and Kurt getting into
it the other day, that sort of took
us off the front page," Earnhardt
said. "I telt such a relief after
that. I wasn't happy for those
guys being in that situation, but
l felt like a load had lifted off
my shoulders when I saw them
walking to the NASCAR
hauler."
He equaled the distraction to
the push he got from new teammate Jimmie Johnson that won
him the race.
Stewart was closing in on the
win until a late caution- ironically caused when Busch spun
- set up a final restart with
three laps to go. Stewart was out
front, but was surrounded by a
fleet of Hendrick cars who
seemed hellbent on getting their
new teammate to checkered
flag.
The push from Johnson
helped Earnhardt slide past
Stewart on the outside and into
the front. Jeff Gordon was
behind Stewart, and with no
chance to win the mce himself,
he certainly wasn't going to
push Stewart past h.is teammate.
"l' m real happy for Junior,"
Gordon said. "It's awesome to
have
him
at
Hendrick
Motorsports and real proud of
those guys to do that in their first
race out."
Stewart was content with
second place.
"I'm pretty happy. I mean,
it's hard to beat Dale Jr.," he
said. "I mean, he's one of the
best restrictor-plate drivers
there's ever been. He learned a
lot from his dad, and I'm not
sure he's not better than his dad
in all honesty."
Johnson finished third, and
was followed by Gordon, Reed
Sorenson and Casey Mears.
Mears' car wao;; too low and
failed post-race inspection.
NASCAR planned to look more
closely at the car Sunday.
All four Hendrick cars ftnished in the top six.
But the celebration was
strictly for Earnhardt, who wa<;

Hendrick. The two are under

Johnson, trying to match
Cale Yarborough's record three

said the goal is to keep ratcheting up the competition on the
team, particularly with the
addition of Earnhardt.
"I feel that the way we all
have meshed together with the
addition of the 88 car and all
the people and everybody
involved, that we're further
ahead than where we were at

said. "And I'm very excited

wildlife to become endangered anc.l
be threatened by extinction. Travel
back in time through the exhibit's
many portals to discover how crea-
tures of long ago fell victim to
extinction. Find out how uncontrolled development leads to the
destruction of wildlife habitats and
places many species in danger of not
being able to survive in a diminishing environment with limited natural resources in "Getting Wildlife Out
of the Way."
Visitors to the exhibit. filled with
engaging life-like dioramas and
interactive modules, are encouraged
through hands-on learning to discover how they can help prevent the
loss of animal species and forest
habitats as they wind their way
through the infonnative and captivating maze of the science center's
newest exhibit.

Valentine's Day kicks oft skunk mating season
Humans aren't the only ones with
love on the brain on February 14.
Amorous male skunks are busy playing the dating game as well.
February through March is mating
season for striped, hog-nosed, and
hooded skunks, and that means people shouldn't be surprised to suddenly smell that distinctly unpleasant
odor. According to The Humane
Society of the United States, the
stink is a female skunk's way of
warding off unwanted suitors.
Fortunately, skunk romance only
lasts a short time.
According to Laura Simon, field
director of urban wildlife programs
for The HSUS, "Skunks are gentle,
non-aggressive creatures who have
wrongly earned a bad reputation
because of that pungent odor. People
don't appreciate the benefits they
provide by eating grubs. insects,
mice, and baby rats."
"It is actually difficult to get
sprayed by a skunk if you heed a
skunk's warning sign - they stamp
their front feet. lf you take heed of
that warning, they won't spray. Dogs
ignore this warning. which is why
they do get sprayed,'" Simon
explains.
The HSUS has a recipe that
works to deodorize skunked dogs:
Mix a quart of hydrogen peroxide
with a J/4 cup baking soda and tea(See CRITTER, page scvcm )
This lazy duo are "Sugar," and "Kikl." Both belong to Randy and Sandy
Bentley, feline fanciers who profess that the cute cats really brighten up
their lives with their playfulness and devotion. Playing with plastic
water bottle lids and enjoying fresh bowls of milk are two of the team's
favorite activities.

PRESTONSBURG - A former
detective expressed regret this week in
an interview with Times staff saying
that
the
Prestonsburg
Police
Department had done everything within the scope of their authority to solve
the 1992 disappearance of Walter
Cropper.
"Not a week goes by that I don't
think about him," Rkky Conn said in a
telephone interview on Thursday.
"I can't imagine what that feels like
to lose a child," Conn said. "If using
me for a punching bag can make her
feel better, I can take that."
As was reported last week, CropperPowe was recently interviewed on
Missing Pieces, a one-hour internet
radio show that helps people both deal
with their loss, as well as generate
interest in their cause. The show deals
specifically with cold cases and missing persons.
On the show, hosted by Todd
Matthews, Cropper-Powe said that she
''That was the unsolved case that sticks
with me the most."
Times staff had attempted to reach
Conn for a story it published last
Sunday after renewed interest in the
1992 case was spawned by a radio
show featuring the vktim's mother.
Conn said the victim's mother, Kathy
Cropper-Powe, of Florida, bas in the
last 10 years begun to blame him for
not solving the case. Conn alleged that
the victim's mother had attacked him in
a letter to The Times sometime around
1998.
"had never dealt with anything like
what I dealt with there (Prestonsburg),"
adding that she felt the local police
were less than enthusiastic about her
son's case.
One specific charge she leveled on
the force, and Conn in particular, was
that they had not listed her son on a
missing person's report for 48 hours
after she notified them of the disappearance.
"That is kind of true," Conn

FRANKFORTHundreds of protesters
are urging lawmakers to
pass a bill that could
curb what they say i~ a
devastating form of coal
mining that obliterates
mountaintops.
People from across
the state packed outside
Capitol on Thursday,
singing songs and making speeches against
mountaintop removal
coal mining. They called
on Kentucky lawmakers
to pass legislation that
would significantly slow
mountaintop mining by
preventing coal companies from pushing dirt
and rock into valleys
below.
Mountaintop removal
mining is a process in
which peaks are leveled
with explosives and
heavy machinery to
extract the coal.
Similar legislation has
been proposed in the

ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANKFORT - After months of
anticipation, Gov. Steve Beshear
unveiled his proposal on Thursday to
legalize casinos in Kentucky.
The newly elected Democrat called
for 12 casinos in various parts of the
state - seven of them at horse tracks
and five in communities along the
state's border with Indiana, Ohio,
Tennessee and West Virginia.
"We've been wrestling with this
issue for over a decade now," Beshear
said.... It's been debated and discussed
but it has never been finally decided,
and I think it is time to finally let the
people decide this issue."
Although Kentucky has a long tradition of wagering at horse tracks, state
Final sites not named, but Floyd
County could be in running
Jaw specifically forbids casinos.
Beshear wants lawmakers to approve a
measure that would allow Kentucky
voters to change the constitution to
allow them.
· Beshear said his proposal could
generate $600 million a year in additional revenue for state government
after all the casinos are fully operating.
He said the proposal also would generate $500 million in upfront application
and licensing fees in 2009 and about
$330 million in 2010.
1
Casino opponents have been at
work since Beshear won ·election last
November trying to derail the proposal,
which would go first to state lawmakers. If they agree to put a proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot.
Kentucky voters would then ratify or
reject the proposal.
"I think the people of this state want
to put this to rest one way or tbe other,"
Beshear said. "It is time to let the people make this decision."
Beshear had made the casino proposal a centerpiece in his campaign last
year against former Gov. Ernie
Fletcher, saying such a move would
generate needed revenue for state gov-
ernment.
Half of the revenue from state taxes
on casinos would be used to fund education under Beshear's plan. In addition, 20 percent would go to health care
initiatives, including care for the elderly and for poor children. The remainder
would be used for a variety of state and
local initiatives.
"This bill is a blatant attempt to
seduce governmental officials by offering them a cut of the revenue that's
generated by making losers of
Kentucky citizens," said John Mark
Hack, head of the antigambling group
Say No To Casinos. "There are no surprises in what the governor has
offered. "

Kentucky among states with highest A1V deaths·:
by JENNIFER C. KERR
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - At least
555 people - including more
than I 00 children - died in
all-terrain vehicle accidents in
2006. Government safety officials expect the number to go
much higher as they receive
information from coroners and
hospitals nationwide.
The Consumer Product
Safety Commission estimated
that an additional 146,600
people were treated in emer
gcncy rooms for ATY-rclatcd
injuries - more than a quarter
of them children.
Consumer groups and parents who have lost children in
crashes have complained for
years about the safety of the
popular off-road vehicles.
The industry contends it's
not the ATV but the driver
that's the problem.
"ATVs have never been
shown to be an unsafe product,
but there have been bad decisions made by people siuing
on the seat," said Mike Mount,
for
the
a
spokesman
Calil'ornia-based Specially
Vehicle Institute of America.
Tn its annual report released
Thursday. the CPSC said
Pennsylvania has had the highest number of reported ATV
deaths since 1982. followed by
California, West Virginia,
Texas and Kentucky. Every
stale had at least one death
attributed to ATVs.
"The signs are pointing to a
very dangerous trend into
more than 800 deaths per
year," said CPSC spokesman
Scott Wolfson. The agency is
still gathering data as far back
as 2003. The report updates
CPSC data with numbers from
2006, the latest year that
agency staff have analyzed.
Between 2002 and 2004,
Kentucky had the highest
number of ATV-related deaths
nationwide, with 106, accord-
ing to the U.S. Consumer
Produ~t Safety Commission.
Kentucky State Police recorded 21 ATV-related fatalities in
both 2005 and 2006 .in a state
that caters Lo riders by providing numerous public trails.
1n 2005, there were 666
confirmed deaths related to
ATVs nationwide, and the
CPSC estimates the toll for
that year could reach 870.
While overall injuries have
risen steadily since 1997,
injuries to children were down
from 44,700 in 2004 to 39,300
in 2006.
"T don't know that you can
find a trend from this data. The
bottom line is that more people, and almost as many children. arc getting injured seriously by ATVs,'' said Rachel
Weintraub, director of product
safety and senior counsel at
the Consumer Federation or
America. "This data further
documents that we have a real
problem."
or
Andrea
Pollard
Woodbridge, Va., wants tighter
restlictions placed on the
speed of ATVs being used by
children. Pollard's eight-yearold son, Cody, died in 2004
when an ATV crashed into the
four-wheeler Cody was riding
with a friend. Both had helmets on, hut Cody did not survive aner being thrown from
the vehicle.
"As a parent, you berate
yourself no matter what. You
question why you let him on
it,'' said Pollard. "We should
all look more closely at what
we're allowing our children to
do."
Also Thursday, the agency
announced the recall of about
95.000 Polaris ATYs because
they can haYe defecti'e control paneb that could catch
fire. The Minnesota-based
company has received 372
reports of smoking and or
melting control panels since
June 2005, when 45,000 of the
ATVs were recalled. There
have been another 20 reports
of f'ires. No injuries have been
repmtcd.
Most of the deaths and
injuries to children are the
result of youngsters riding
adult-size ATVs, and consumer groups say the agency
needs to do more to keep kids
off ATVs that are too big and
too powerful for them.
Weintraub wants the CPSC
to ban the sale of adult-size
ATVs for use for children. The
agency has declined to do that.
Under a voluntary agreement between the industry and
the commission, major ATV
distributors require dealers not
to sell adult-size ATVs to people who might allow children
to ride them. Consumer groups
say few dealers abide by the
rule.
For almost two years now,
the commission has been considering regulations that
would lilt restrictions on the
engine si:r.e of youth ATVs,
allowing manufacturers to
make bigger vehicles to
accommodate larger youngsters. The aim, the CPSC says,
is to keep teens off adult-size
ATV s. The commission also
would require the installation
of equipment to limit maximum speeds, based on the riders' age.
The American Academy of
Pediatrics and consumer
groups oppose the proposed
rules.
A vote may still be a ways
off. The staff plans to update
the commission in June with
additional research.
Agency starr last year completed a study of 85 ATV accidents in 2005 involving
youngsters and fatalities. In
most of the cases, adult-si:t.e
ATVs were being driven.
In more than 75 percent of
the incidents where speed
could be determined, it
appeared that ATVs were
going too fast for conditions.
In nearly 60 percent of the
fatalities, riders were not
wearing helmets.
Sales of' ATVs have
declined, down from 912,000
in 2004 to an estimated
759,000 ATVs that were sold
in the United States last year.
~)
The industry recently
decided to create a new transitional model for 14- and 15ycar-olds that would be bigger
than the current youth ATVs
on the market, though not
quite as large as adult-size
ATVs. Tt says the goal is to
keep bigger kids from riding
adult-size vehicles. The new •
model would he able to reach
speeds of up to 38 mph.
CPSC stall are concerned .
about the idea, saying the
model would go much too fast
for young teens.

Editorial roundup
New York Post, on the Democrats and delegates:
No changing the rules in the middle of the game.
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean must
be prepared to deliver that message to Sen. Hillary Clinton and her
allies.
With a razor-thin delegate margin separating them and everfewer states left on the campaign calendar, Clinton and Sen.
Barack Obama are working all angles to get to 2,025 - the number needed to win their party's presidential nomination.
Which is why the Clinton forces are looking at Michigan and
Florida.
Both the Dcms and the GOP had declared that - as far as they
were concerned - the only states permitted to hold a primary or
caucus before Feb. 5 were lowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and
South Carolina. But Michigan went ahead with a Jan. 15 dale and
Florida with Jan. 29.
The Republican National Committee sanctioned the states by
removing half of their delegates - while the DNC stripped both
stales of all their delegates ....
But now that the race is so tight - it is mathematically close to
impossible for either candidate to win a majority before the
Democratic National Convention in August- a move is afoot to
recognize those two delegations.
Obviously, if the results of the January "beauty" comeslS swod,
it would be a great windfall for Sen. Clinton.
But at what cost to the Democratic Party's credibility- to say
nothing of the democratic process? ...
The CincintUtti Enquirer, on the economic stimulus plan:
The check isn't in the mail yet. but it will be soon.
... Rebate checks to millions of Americans could start arriving in
May.
The Senate did the right thing ... passing a bill that wa<> close to
the original House version - and resolving a partisan stalemate
that threatened to delay the whole plan.
The $168 billion package will mean rebates of $600 to $1,200
to most taxpayers, plus $300 checks to disabled veterans, the
elderly and low-income Americans who do not pay taxes. It also
includes tax relief that aims to encourage businesses to buy equipment and hire workers ....
The economy could usc the boost, but the money isn't "free." lt
will be added to the already huge federal delicit the nex.t two
years.
The economy may not be able to flourish until Washington
develops the spine to develop long-term solutions for the chronic
imbalance between federal revenue and spending that keeps families, businesses and investors on edge with uncertainty....
The Commercial Appeal. Memphis, Tenn., on school security:
Hamilton High student Deangelo Key might have sealed the
deal on a $4.5 million screening process for Memphis City Schools
when he allegedly shot a classmate ... during Algebra I class.
If not, at least the case for a security upgrade for the system's 29
high schools and 28 middle schools is getting stronger. A greater
degree of safety might be well worth the $80,000-per-school cost.
There are drawbacks, as well, to the security enhancement measure on the table- herding randomly selected students past X-ray
machines and metal detectors on a daily basis at every school.
Students themselves. have argued forcefully that daily checks
will lengthen the school day and take time away from their studies.
It would create a particular kind of resentment in schools where
the va<;t majority of students have no interest in gangs, fights or
high-caliber "protection" from perceived enemies just a few lockers down the hall.
·
The issue should be approached cautiously, but if the sarety or
students would be truly enhanced, it's hard to justify making
another choice.

House week in
review
by STATE REP. HUBERT COLLINS
More than 40 bills had pa~sed the
Kentucky House of Representatives
this session by the end of la<>t week,
as legislation to increase long-term
care funding for Kentuckians with
special needs, provide a tax credit for
live-organ donation, and limit double
fines in highway work zones made
their way through the chamber and
were sent to the Senate for a vote.
Kentuckians with disabilities
across the Commonwealth would
benefit from the passage of House
Bill 13, a measure which passed 91-0
on Monday. The bill would establish
a Kentucky Family Needs Trust
Program to supplement any public
assistance provided for the long-lerm
care of persons with disabilities,
including those in the state's care.
The program would be funded
through contributions to a trust fund.
Those contributions would come
from the beneficiaries' families,
friends and guardians--not the state,
which would be prohibited from
using the trust fund for other purposes--and be overseen by a board of
trustees. HB 13 now goes to the
Senate for it~ consideration.
Another human services bill that
passed the House last week was HB
234, which would provide a tax credit of up to $10,000 for those who
donate live organs for transplant. 11
would also give full-time state
employees who donate a live organ
up to 30 days paid leave to 'recuperate. HB 234 passed by a vote of 94-0
and will join HB 13 for consideration
by the Senate.
The highway bill that passed this
week amend<; current state law
requiring that fines for speeding in a
highway work zone be doubled
whether highway workers are present
or not. Under HB 325, which we
pa<>scd 90-0 on Monday, those caught
speeding in one of the work rones
would not have their fine doubled if
no highway workers were present at
the time and no signs were posted
warning drivers that they would fitce
a double fine for speeding in a work
zone while workers were on the job.
HB 325 was also senl to the Senate
for consideration.
Voter turnout and voting righL~
were on the minds of members of the
House Election::,, Constitutional
Amendments and Intergovernmental
Affairs Committee this week. as the
committee passed two bills on
Tuesday that could in<-Tease voter
participation in state elections.
One of those bills was HB 138,
which would create what is called
"early voting'' statewide for every
registered voter. not just those who
will be out of £heir county of residence on Election Day. Should it pass
into law, regii'tered voters could vole
up to 12 days bef()fe an election without offering an eKcuse as Lo why they
cannot vote on election day, as is now
required for in-person absentee voters. The other bill. HB 70, would put
a constitutional amendment on the
next statewide general election ballot
allowing voters to decide whether to
restore the voting rights or non-violent felons. Both bills now go to the
full House for itl> consideration.
The House has passed legislation
in past :-.es~ions that proposes a conslitulional amendment to restore nonviolent felon voting rights, but that
legislation st.alled in the Senate. A bill
to establish early voting failed in the
House in 2007 due to tune constramts
during that year's short 30-day session.
Child safety was the focus of legislation passed by the House
Transportation Committee la"l week.
That legislation, HB 55. would
require that children under 8 years
old who arc hctwccn 40 and 57 inch-
es tall be placed in booster seats
when riding in a motor vehicle. The
proposal is identical to booster-scat
legislation passed by the House last
year that died in the Senate.
Under the proposal, violators
would face a $50 prcpayablc fine but
would not have to pay court costs or
additional fees. Exemptions from
additional costs are also included for
those who fail to properly secure an
infant in a child restraint scat or who
"iolate the state's sealbell law, which
canies a prepayablc fine of up to $25
bul no court costs. The bill now goes
to the full House for a vote.
Children were also the focus of a
bill passed by the House Health and
Welfare Committee on Thursday
which would require school-age girls
to receive a vaccine against the virus
that causes 70 percent or cervical
cancer cases as part of their school
immunization schedule. Parents or
guardians would be able to refuse the
vaccine under HB 396. but only if
they sign a statement aflirming that
they understm1d a link exists between
cervical cancer and the human papillomavims (HPV), which the vaccine
guards against. The measure would
also require the state to provide cducational resources about the vaccine
to the public and schools. lt is also
now before the full House for consideration.

Two solid films and one halfway
good one made for a berter than aYcrage week for renters.
• "Gone, Bahy, Gone" - Ben
Affleck directed this kidnapping
thriller which manages to ohcy genre
conventions and still impart an important message about how far one should
be able to go to protect a child. Affleck
proves to be an effective filmmaker
and avoids splashy camera work. He
shows a fine eye for the Boston loca
Lions and dresses the lilm with extras
who look right at home in the ii:mcrcity selling. He also rounds up a topnotch cast which includes his brother
Casey as a private eye who takes his
job home with him at the end of the
day. This doesn't. deviate l'rom Lhc
novel by Dennis Lehane ("Mystic
River'') and is chock full of conflicts
as a pair of private eyes butt heads
with cops and criminals wrule search
ing the underbelly of South Boston for
a missing girl whose party girl mother
appears to have placed the child in
jeopardy. Ed Harris and Morgan
Freeman anchor the action as seasoned
cops with something to hide.
• "We Own the Night" - This taut
thriller mostly works as it explores the
infiltration of the New York night club
scene by the Russian Mafia. Joaquin
Phoenix stars as a conflicted cluh manager who IS torn between his Russian
bo~s/mentor and his hellraising cop
brother (Mark Wahlberg). Robert
Duvall is good as their father, but Eva
Mendes steals the film in the girlfriend
role and adds more meat lo it than lhc
script offers her.
• "Martian Child"
This one did
n't attract audiences who missed out
on an entertaining and heartfelt l!;tory.
A science fiction writer considers
adopting an imaginative boy after his
wire passes away. This is a simple and
quiet story that has something to say
about the power of raith when it is
imparted to a child. John Cusack delivers the goods as the writer and grounds
the swry. rncidemally, this is based on
the true life account of David Gerrald.
You may not know the name but odds
arc you ' ve seen his work. which
includes the "Trouble with Tribbles"
episode or the original "Star Trek"
series.
• ''No Reservations" This
week's turkey is another remake that
manages to translate a film into English
but misses out on the clements which
made the original film (here "Mostly
Martha," 2001, from Germany) worth
remaking in the first place. Catherine
Zeta-Jones stars as a chef in a trendy
Lower Manhattan restaurant who must
deal with raising her newly orphaned
hiccc while contending with a recently
hired chef who irks her in every way
imaginable. What was an evenly paced
and emotional packed drama becomes
a light and enlirely boring exercise in
over-the-top tear jerking. Seck out the
original wruch relies on strong film
making and no star wattage to light up
ninety minutes of your life.
Next week look for the early arrival
of

Reality trumps fantasy in 'Spiderwick Chronicles'
by DAVID GERMAIN
AP
"The Spiderwiek
.Chronicles,"
a Paramount release, is rated
PG for scary creature action
and violence, peril and some
thematic elements.
Running time: 96' minutes.
MOVIE WRITER
"The
Spidcrwick
Chronicles" may not be in the
same fantasy league as the
tales of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S.
Lewis and J.K. Rowling. Yet
the family flick hascd on the
books of Tony DiTerliui and
Holly Black is an all-around
class act, even if its world of
ogrer; and goblins is a bit stale
in the wake of its more ambitious cousins in the over-therainbow genre.
The human characters are
the main source of wonder
here. Freddie Highmore, Sarah
Bolger ami Mary-Louise
Parker authentically capture
the fractured spirit of a family
newly cast into single-parent
mode, while David Strathairn
adds a wisll'ul streak as a naturalist so absent-minded he fails
to notite how rus devotion to a
magical realm has cut him off
from the marvels of evetyday
life.
Far more modest than films
based on Tolkien's "Lord of
the
Rings,"
Lewis'
"Chronicles of Narnia" and
Rawling's "Harry Potter"
books,
"Spiderwick
Chronicles'' actually becomes
Two and a half stars

more pedestrian the further it
wanders from reality.
. Hollywood has become so
adept at conjuring up computer-generated imps and elves
and other beasties that the
unremarkable creatures here
seem commonplace, and occasionally annoying, by comparison.
The story is simple: newly
divorced
Helen
Grace
(Parker), twin sons Jared and
Simon (both played hy
Highmore) and their older sister, Mallory (Bolger). move to
the fanciful New England
home given to Helen by her
great-aunt.
Jared has serious anger
issues over his parents' split,.
Simon's sweet and bookish
and Mallory tries to keep the
boys in line to help out her
struggling mom.
Aunt
LucinJa
(Joan
Plowright) is now in a rest
home, having spent her life in
fear of the evil creatures that
live in the surrounding woods.
Lucinda's
dad,
Arthur
Spiderwick (Strathmrn), documented the unseen world of
fairies, sprites and monsters in
a book before vanishing 80
years earlier.
Shape-shifting
ogre
Mulgarath (Nick Nolte) covets
the hook, whose secrets would
aflow him to take over the
world. lle sends his gang of
goblins against the family after
Jared finds the hook, setting
up some modest action
seqvences as the Graces duke
it out with Mulgarath's minions.
Martin Short provides lhe
voice of a tiny being known as
a brownie who ha~ been pro-
tecLing the book for decades,
while Seth Rogen adds vocals
for an eager hut cowardly hobgoblin seeking revenge against
Mulgarath.
Director Mark Waters,
graduating to a big action production after making the comedy hits "Mean Girls" and
"Freaky Friday," cral'ls a surprisingly brisk adventure
given the ponderous running
times or recent ranlasy films.
With a top-notch screenplay credited to Karey
Kirkpatrick ("Chicken Run"),
David Berenbaum ("Ell") and
indie-film icon John Sayles,
the movie is at its best in the
human moments.
Though she's fighting otherworldly thugs, Parker's
more grounded in real-world
domestic rrialters here than she
is on television as the quirky
pot-dealing mom in "Weeds."
Bolger, memorable as the
older sister in 2002's "ln
America," has blossomed into
a lovely, fierce and funny
young actress.
Highmore, Johnny Depp's
co-star in ''Charlie and the
Chocolate
Factory··
and
"Finding Neverland," am.:hors
the movie with two fine performances, injecting Jared and
Simon with distinct personalities and idiosyncrasies.

Panel OKs bill to toughen laws against online child predators
by BRUCE SCHREINER
AssOCIATED PRESS
FRANKFORT
McCrac ken
County Sheriff Jon Hayden said his
area round out the harsh reality that
child predators can suikc anywhere,
showing that the state needs to toughen
laws to prevent them from pursuing
youngsters online.
Hayden joined Attorney General
Jack Conway, prosecutors and other
law enforcemenlolTicers Wednesday in
promoting a bill to strengthen the fight
against online predalurs. The measure
later cleared its first hurdle by winning
approval from the House Judiciary
Committee.
The western Kentucky sheriff said
some people think such crimes are limited ro hig cities, bur one incidenr in his
area showed it can happen anywhere.
He said a teenage girl was raped last
SALE 1l99
year, allegedly by an adull man she mel
on the Interne t.
"This is a terrible problem ," Hayden
said al a news conference before the
committee vote. "It reaches all corners
of the commonwealth."
Conway said that along with aU its
advantages. the Internet can also he "a
tool for crime." He cited statistics
showing lhnl one in seven children
report being solicited online for sex hy
adults .
··we recognize that the law lags
technology," he ~aid.
Louisville Metro Police Lt. Tom
Dreher, commander of the department's Crimes Against Children Unit ,
said his unit has seen an increase in
Internet crimes against children. He
said some perpetrators told officials
they chose Kentucky because its laws
against online child predators aren't as
strong as some other states.
30°/o OFF
Rep. J6hnny Bell, D-Glasgow, the
b ilrs lead sponsor, called the mca•mre
"a strong movement forward in protec ting the youth of our _commonwealth."
The bill would allow law enforcemenT to use speciai.Jy trained decoys for
online stings. It would make it a crime
to solicit anyone who the person
believes is a minor.
Another provision would prohibit
registered sex offenders from using
social-networking Web sites such as
MySpace and Facebook. The bill also
would require sex offenders to notify
the sex offender registry whenever they
change their e-mail addresses.
The bill also amends the state's
stalking statute to include cyberstalking.
It also would allow police to seize
personal property such as a computer
or car that was used in committing
25°/o OFF

'Van Lear'
by KATHY J. PRATER
FEATURES EDITOR
As a young boy growing up in Johnson
County's Van Lear, Danny K. Blevins, author of
"Van Lear," says lhal he was always "fascinated"
with the area's history. "When 1 was a boy," he
said, "I would see the ruins of buildings and mines
that were long gone."
Curius1ty born of that fascination led Blenns to
research the history of his nati\e homeplace. eventually bringing him to become president of the Van
Lear Historical Society and the Coal Miners'
Museum. Along the way, Blevins founded the society's newsletter, "The Bankmule," currently in its
twenty-fifth year of publication. The Bankmulc
helps keep those whose lives and careers have carlied them away from Van Lear connected.
Blevins himself. however, has chosen to remain
in his hometown where he lives with his wife,
Trudy, <md their three children. "As I have chosen
to remain in Van Lear and raise my children here,
1 dream of the improvements that could he made in
our community," Blevins said. "I believe that any
effort to re-establish our community to a degree of
its one-time glory must begin with education. It is
my hope that this book will prove to be a vehicle
to motivate others to get involved with community
development."
In "Van Lear," Blevins gathers together over
200 vintage photographs, providing a "irtual guided tour into Van Lear's celebrated past, giving, the
author hopes, a glimmer of hope for generations to
come. "1 hope this book will inspire the young people of today to work to create a better community
or Van Lear. I hope the pride in their community
New book commemorates
fascinating past of local town
will grow into their aspirations both for themselves
and their hometown," Blevins said.
The treasure trove of photographs contained in
"Van Lear" highlight many images that have never
before been published. Thumbing through page
arter page, the .reader soon comes to realize that
over the years, Van Lear has come a long way from
the time when coal was king and the tiny hillside
community was one of the Commonwealth's leading producers of the valuable commodity.
Blevins says that the research for his book came
from a wide variety of sources. "I drew upon my
lifetime of living in Van Lear and the countless
conversations I have had with my elders," he said.
Blevins also said that he researched many books
and publications dealing with the history of the
coal industry, us well as gleaning through the
archives of local newspaper publications held in
microf'ilm collections of the Johnson County
Public Library, located in Paintsville. "Other information came via co1Tespondence with people in
other locations who provided me with additional
information and photos,'' he said.
Blevins says that he thinks readers will be "surprised at the number of specialized buildings and
structures that used to be in Van Lear." Among
those being schools, hotels, boarding houses, a theater, a community center. clubhouses, churches
and, of course, coal mines. "The people of Van
Lear seemed to have very active social lives,'' he
said.
Blevins, a 1979 graduate of Johnson Central
High School. is currently a teacher in the Johnson
County school system. He holds degrees from
Mayo Slate Vocational Technical School,
Prestonsburg Community College, Morehead Stale
Be prepared for emergencies
by MARLA CILLEY
Here it is, that time of yei:II again
when we are faced with the threat of'
evacuation from our homes. We never
know when this could happen because
of fire, train wreck, floods or hurricanes. ll is up to us to he prepared!
1. PEOPLE: Have a plan for getting
out of the house <Uid make sure every
one knows it. Have an emergency bag
of food and water for your family.
Include wholesome snacks and treats
for the chlldren: <hied fruit, nuts, peanut
buller. cracker~ and granola bars.
2. PETS: Keep pet carriers and
leashes readily avnilahlc to lead pels lo
safety. Also take pet food with you.
3. PICTURES: Keep negatives or
CDs of picrurcs in a lock box or at a
family member'· home.Have p1cture
albums in one place ready to grab and
go at a moments notice.
4. PAPERS: Have all your important
papers in a lock box at a bank and only
keep copies at !he house. This keers
you from panicking. lf you have them
at home then put them in a folder that
you can easily grab if you have to move

Kentucky.
He has received an award of distinction from
the Kentucky Historical Society and the
Leadership in Local History Award from the
American Association for State and Local History.
Blevins' own roots run deep in the history of
Johnson County, as some of his earliest ancestors
actually entered the area in the late 1700s. Several
of his forefathers settled there after serving in the
American Revolution. He hopes that his book will
provide a valuable resource for those who can
trace their own roots back to this once "companyowned" town.
In addition to providing a wealth of information
in regard to the Consolidation Coal Company,
''Van Lear" also contains information on area notables such as John C.C. Mayo, the man behind Van
Lear's development, and the singing Webb family,
from which country music stars Loretta Lynn and
Crystal Gayle belong.
"Van Lear'' is a part of the ''1mages of America"
series that has preserved and shared the history of
hundreds of individual communities throughout
the country. Each Litle in the series records a town's
or city's unique story through histmic images. Due
to its popularity, it has expanded to include worthy
local and regional historical topics including the
examination and celebration of transportation,
industry, architecture, ethnic groups and more.

UNlVBlUlTT
Martha A Simpson, no, M..BA
.Assot:U#e Profomw

Q
r am e.rpecting my second
child soon. My first child,
who is 4 tWH; was very ill as
a
11 with RSV and had to be hospitalized. Will I have to go through
the same thing with this next baby?
Can! do anything to prevent RSV? Is
there a vaccine to prevent it?
RSV stands for infection
caused by the Respiratory
Syncytial Virus. RSV is the
primary cause of pneumonia and
bronchiolitis in infants under I year
of age. Over 125,000 babies and children are hospitalized annually with
A
this viral infection. Tl is estimated,
however, that this is just the tip of the
iceberg and represents only about 2
percent or the children who actually
get RSV. Though very common in
infants and children, RSV is, fortunately, usually relatively mild in
nature.
This viral infection is spread from
person to person through direct contact with respiratory secretions or
from RSV contaminated surfaces and
objects. RSV usually occurs in the
winter and spreads rapidly among
c~ildren. By age 2, most children will
a common childhood infection
show evidence of past RSV infections when given the appropriate
blood test.
There are several risk factors for
infants getting an RSV infection.
Prematurity, low birth weighl, congenital heart disease, chronic lung
conditions, secondhand cigarelle
smoke exposure, older brothers and
sisters in the home, day care and bottle feeding all increase the likelihood
of a child developing a serious RSV
infection.
RSV usually starts off like a typical cold. Fever, runny nose, cough
and irritability may sometimes be followed by wheezing. In some cases
the child may experience difficulty in
breathing. Most children with RSV
infections are better in about a week
with supportive care such as acetaminophen for fever and tluids. Many
doctors' offices can perform a rapid
RSV test, which can confirm the
diagnosis and aid in the treatment of
the RSV. The test is done by taking a
swah or the child's nasal secretions.
As of yet there is no long-term
vaccine to prevent this common, viral
infection in all children. There arc
some short-acting vaccines that can
be given to at-risk infants during outbreaks of RSV, but these shots need
to be given monthly and are not recommended for all children.
Other preventive efforts such as
routine hand washing arc always
good, but RSV can be spread for several days before a child has any
symptoms and for a couple of weeks
after the child has recovered. This
makes it difficult to control this infection in the community setting.
So, will you have to experience an
RSV infection with your soon-to-beborn child? Though my crystal ball is
a little hazy, I'd say that the odds are
that your second child will come
down with RSV at some point.
However, it is somewhat unlikely
that he or she will experience the
severe form that required hospitali~.a
tion of your first child.

shows a marked increase in the
amount of tax revenue casinos
could generate for the state $100 million more than
Beshear had previously projected.
Beshear has been warning
that the state is facing a financial crisis, and the revenue is
sorely needed to help offset a
projected $900 million shortfall over the next two fiscal
years.
Hack said the state needs to
find another way to balance
the budget rather than legalize
casinos that could foster social
ills.
"Hopefully, the people in
this state will rise up to put an
end to this issue so that the
governor and legislature can
focus their attention on issues
of real importance," Hack said.
authorities in the previous 24
hours,
Conn
said,
Prestonsburg Police would
have been notified.
Conn said the delay wasn't
a factor but, "It was a mistake
on our part, and I'll take credit
for that." Conn said he apolo~
gized to the victim' s mother
for the error at the time.
During the interview,
Cropper-Powe also said that
when she had come to meet
with Conn, that he refused to
see her saying he had to move
into his house.
"She was supposed to come
up the week before. I had told
her I would be busy the following week," Conn said,
adding that when she insisted
on coming up the week he had
told her he would be busy, he
arranged for her to meet with
the FBI agent who was handling the case. He said she
seemed happy with that
arrangement, and made no
complaint at the time.
"If she had insisted that she
talk to me, I would have met
with her."
Conn said that he put in
probably ~ month of footwork
on the case after the disappearance of Cropper, conducting
over 90 interviews. "We talked
to everybody."
Conn said that his best lead
had come in an interview with
a local couple whom the victim was known to consort.
One of them admitted pawning
a .25 caliber pistol two or three
days after Cropper's disappearance,
According to Conn, autopsy reports said that Cropper
had died as a result of a gunshot wound to the head, and
that the caliber had been the
same.
"I went and picked up the
handgun at the Hock Shop in
Prestonsburg, and sent it off to
OBI (the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation) to try and match
the ballistics," Conn said.
"When I got the call from OBI,
I really thought that was going
to be it, but the bullet found at
the crime scene didn't match
with the gun." Conn said it
was just a strange coincidence.
According to Conn, he
exhausted every possible local
lead and was forced to release
the case to the FBI, saying,
"The city wasn't going to pay
me to investigate a crime that
couldn't be placed in Floyd
County."
Conn believes that Cropper
"walked off' from the Carl D.
Perkins Job Corps Center and
met with foul play elsewhere.
Conn said the autopsy report
confirmed that the victim died
at the location where his body
was found.
"We were getting an average of 10 calls a month for
walk-offs from the Job Corps
at that time," Conn said:
adding that while there was no
documented history of harassment, he had gleaned from the
interviews that Cropper was
bullied and picked on often.
"A lot of them d idn' t really
have much to say. He didn't
really have any friends; kind
of a loner," Conn said.
The file, case information
and evidence was turned over
to the FBI after it was determined that no crime took place
locally.
After leaving the PPD.
Conn went to work a·s a
Kentucky State Trooper. Conn
said he continued to make
inquiries into the case while he
was with KSP.
Conn, now retired, was recognized for heroism relating to
a 2004 incident in which, after
an explosion occurred in his
I vel neighborhood, he rescued
a mother and child from their
burning home, despite suffer-
ing severe burns himself.
In 2005, then-Gov. Ernie
Fletcher presented Conn with
the Governor's Medal of
Valor, which is reserved for
troopers displaying conspicuous heroism in the line of duty
under
circumstances
of
extreme danger.
According to the Georgia
Department of Investigation,
police in Florida arrested a
Floyd County man in February
1993, H arry Eugene Hale, 46,
of Martin, for questioning in
Georgia in connection with a
missing Swiss exchange student, Chri s Zahn, sexual
assaults against young males,
and possibly the slaying of
Cropper. According to reports,
Hale was a resident of Austell,
Ga., at the time of Zahn's 1992
disappearance. He also owned
homes m Kentucky and
Florida.
Conn said that he had also
investigated Hale at the time.
No evidence ever came forward
linking
Hale
to
Cropper's murder, though he
was incarcerated for credit
card fraud after being filmed
using Zahn 's cards. Hale is
currently serving a prison sentence in Georgia and will not
come up for parole until 2013.

Projects in neighboring

include:
•
Widening a 1.1-mile
stretch of the Mountain
Parkway in Magoffin County,
from the Licking River bridge
at mile marker 74.5 to mile
marker 75.6. The plan calls for
$560,000 in right-of-way acquisition in 2010, $330,000 for
utility relocation in 2010 and
$15.75 million for construction
in 2012.
• Correcting a rockfall hazard along 1.25 miles of Route
321 in Johnson County between
Prestonsburg and Paintsville.
The plan calls for $210,000 in
right-of-way acquisition in
2010, $420,000 for utility relocation in 2010 and $1.69 million for construction in 2012.
The total plan represents a
$1.03 billion reduction from the
previous six-year plan, released
in 2006. Officials explained the
drop by noting that growth in
the Kentucky Road Fund has
not kept pace with a 40-percent
rise in the cost of road-building
materials since 2005.
"As
we
assess
the
Transportation Cabinet's ability to meet future highway

when projects cost more, careful choices must be made about
the type and extent of road system improvements we pursue,"
Transportation Secretary Joe
Prather said.

FRANKFORT House
lawmakers have approved legislation that would require
children under 8 years old to

The 68-28 vote on the measure Thursday was largely

Democrats favoring it. The
measure now goes to the
Senate for consideration. A
similar bill was quashed in the
Senate last year.
Democratic State Rep. Tom
Burch of Louisville is sponsoring the legislation. He said
it will save the lives of children.
Kentucky is one of 12 states

Today, we take
the good with
the bad and worse
TIMES STAFF REPORT
by RICK BENTLEY
TIMES COLUMNIST
Things I hope I haven't misremembered and others I only wish
I could misremember:
- The hot topic this week was
the Roger Clemens hearing
before congress, after which we
were left to debate who may have
won and who may have lost the
4-1/2 hour debacle.
The remainder of this paragraph will list the winners:
Now that that's out of the way,
the subject of discussion is
ft whether Roger Clemens perjured
himself before congress. In my
estimation, and I'm shocked I
haven't heard this everywhere, is
that it's highly probable that both
Clemens and Brian McNamee
have perjured themselves.
Look, McNamee is no· choir
boy here. That is clear and something he has personally admitted.
But he said he injected Andy
Pettitte, who said it was true. He
he
injected
Chuck
said
Knoblauch, who said it was true.
He even said he injected Roger's
own wife, who admitted in evidence presented by Clemens
• \ hisownself.
Yet we're supposed to believe
the whole thing about Clemens is
a lie just because he said so?
Sorry, I'm not that gullible.
Maybe, in the end, Clemens
will have some way of proving
his innocence, but what that
method will be is beyond me at
this point. We'll just wish him
luck there and move on.
- But we did get a new word\
out of the hearing, so we've got
that going for us.
- In the commonwealth, we
~ only wish that was the worst
news of the week. How in the
world do you score only 11
points in an entire half of basketball in the shot-clock era?
As Charles Barkley would
ask, "Anah-bodah?"
Amazing.
-And then, our beloved coach
in whom we are well pleased
tried to laugh it off in the press
conference! Are you serious? At
this point, the only laughing matter here is that Mitch Barnhart
believed Billy Gillispie to be the
right man for the job.
This season has been a fiasco
from the beginning. Losses to
Louisville-Indiana-Carolina
were bad enough. Then a home

One star.
Dale Jarrett, Sterling
Marlin
and
Jacques
Villeneuve were fighting to
make the 500 field. None
were guaranteed a spot in
the season-opening race,
and all had to race their
way into the 500 field in
one of Thursday' s two
qualifying races.
Only four spots are
available. And for all of
them, it could be their last
chance for the Daytona
500. Jarrett will retire next
month, Marlin is running a
partial
schedule
and
Villeneuve needs sponsorship to mn a full season.
"I
haven't
really
allowed myself to think in
the direction," Jarrett, a
three-time Daytona 500
winner and former series
champion,
said
Wednesday.
"We need to stay in a
positive frame of mind in
that we are going to be able
to race our way in. It would
be disappointing to say the
very least, because this is
going to be my last opportunity at Daytona. So I
want to be involved in it."
Only the two fastest drivers in last week's time trials - two-time defending
champion Jimmie Johnson
and two-time Daytona 500
winner Michael Waltrip are locked into Sunday's
race. Another 34 positions
are decided by the top 35
in points from last season.
Four more drivers two from each of the twin
races on Thursday - race
their way in. The final
three spots go to the fastest
drivers on speed who are
not otherwise qualified and
possibly a past champion.
It's a system that irritates Marlin, a two-time
Daytona 500 winner who
now finds himself on the
verge of missing the
biggest race of the year.
Like Jarrett, Marlin did not
finish in the top 35 in
points last season.
Marlin said the system
is unfair, pointing to former open-wheel drivers
Dario Franchitti and Sam
Hamish Jr., who will race
Sunday in their first
Dayt9na 500s after inheriting 'top 35 points from last
season.
"You've got a bunch of
guys who got into cars that
are locked into the top 35
in points and have never
even started a Daytona
500," Marlin said. "That's
how the rules are, and we
knew that coming down
there, I just think there's a
better way to do it."
Marlin said he'd prefer
a system that locked in the
fastest 40 cars, with the
fin'al three spots reserved
as provisionals.
"Give away the other
three. I don't care to who, a
past champion, somebody
who had trouble qualifying, the guy who is eighth
whoever,"
in
points,
Marlin said. "Cause the
way they do it now is just
aggravating, and a lot of
big names are going to go
home tomorrow."
Marlin is fighting an
uphill battle.
He was 45th out of 47
cars on the speed chart following Wednesday's final
practice, and needed an
outstanding race Thursday
to make the cut.
"It will be aggravating
to miss the race," Marlin
said. "We knew in testing
we had a problem with the
car, thought we had it
fixed, then got down here
and found out we didn't.
All we can do is fix the car
the best we can, hold it
wide open for 150 miles
and hope we're OK."
Adding to Marlin 's
problems was the engine
from
Hendrick
Motorsports that was powering his car. A problem
with the lifters in the
motors forced five of the .
who use
nine
cars
Hendrick motors to change
the engines. Although
Marlin wasn't initially one
of them, there's concern
the engine could blow.
Villeneuve, meanwhile,
had everything go wrong
Wednesday. Battling a bout
of laryngitis, the former Fl
world champion scraped
the wall during the first
practice and m issed considerable track time while
his team assessed the damage.
Driving an unsponsored
car, Villeneuve was hoping
a strong showing at
Daytona would land him
the money he needs to run
the entire season. Now he's
in danger of missing the
500, a setback that could
cripple this move to
NASCAR.

And now, 11 points in a half

Don' 1 get me wrong, the
Dores are a good team.
They're very good for a Vandy
team. But anyone who
believes Kc:vin Stallings will
still be coaching on Elite Eight
weekend please stand up.
Now that we're all still
seated, we deserve a lot more
from our new coach than an
11-point half and then a chuckle in the presser afterwards.
- And speaking of brilliant
coaching moves, someone
really needs to press Gillispie
on what the heck he was thinking putting Jodie Meeks into a
35-point game with eight minutes to go. Of all that happened
this week- Clemens expecting
us to fall at his feet and
Gillispie trying to laugh away
an 11-point half - this is the
most incomprehensible.
Meeks hadn't played in two
weeks, not because he wasn't
good enough or because he
was suspended, but because he
was injured. And Gillispie
thought this was the right time
to use him?
And this guy is coaching
the nation's winningcst program?
- The remainder of this hullet-point will contain all the
times Thhby Smith lost hy 41
points while a head coach at
Kentucky:
- Oh. All that stuff 1 wrote
las! week? Just never mind.
- There was a lot more
baseball news this week,
including the fact that pitchers
and catchers reported to
Sarasota for the beginning of
spring training for the Reds.
Considering they were 18
games under last year, one
could argue Lhat it wouldn't
have hurt them to report the
middle of January, but it's a
new season, so we should skip
that part.
According
to
the
Cincinnati Enquirer, the Reds
are planning to kick oiT the
season with Aaron Harang at
the lop of their rotation and
Bronson Arroyo following.
Is it just me or has Arroyo
really earned the spot of the
No. 2 guy? I know they don't
exactly light up the scoreboard
for him, but still, he always
seems more Hke a three-four
guy to me.
Speaking of three-four
guys, the Enquirer has the
immortal Matt Belisle and
newcomer Jeremy Affeldt in those spots. The logic is that
Belisle needs a breakout year
and the Reds didn't' sign
Affeldt to come out of Lhe pen.
Not exactly glowing recommendations there.
- Andrew Joyce says that
while Todd Coffey was at the
affiliates luncheon recently, he
didn't get anybody out there
either so he's already in midseason form.
-And finally ...
We say best wishes today to
two uf the luckiest people we
work with, Whitney Broyles
and Amber Thacker. We hope
they're feeling better soon and
can't wait to see them back on

SEC: Foster scores 20 as Commodores rout Kentucky, 93-52
Wildcats fall behind
early on, never recover
en route to worst SEC
loss in school history
by TERESA M. WALKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -Just when
it looked as if Kentucky was turning
its season around, lhe Wildcats were
banded
their
most
lopsided
Southeastern Conference loss ever.
Shan Foster scored 20 pointe; and
A.J. Ogilvy added 19 points and 12
rebounds as No. 24 Vanderbilt beat !he
NCAA's winningest program 93-52
on Thesday night.
Kentucky hadn't been beaten this
badly in decades.
"To have them to stomp us into the
. ground like that, il's horrible," freshman Patrick Patterson said. "They
played like men, and we played like
boys."
Kentucky thought it had fixed the
• problems that led to a 6-5 start under
first-year coach Billy Gillispie, which
included an 84-68 loss to GardnerWebb at Rupp Arena and a 70-51 loss
to Indiana that had been the biggest
margin in a loss by the Wildcat~ this
season. They had won tive straight,
including a victory over Tennessee,
before Tuesday's blowout.
The Commodores (21-4, 6-4) started a four-game homcstand by winning
their fourth straight. The only SEC
team to open league play with six of
their first nine away from home had
lost 79-73 in double-overtime at
Kentucky on Jan. 12.
"They took us to the woodshed,"
Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings said
of that loss. "We didn't want that to
happen again."
They more than got their revenge
before a sold-out crowd.
It was the worst loss for Kentucky
(12-10, 6-3) since losing by 55· to
Kansas on Dec. 9, 1989.
Making il sweeter for Vandy? This
41-point marb>in matched a 52-llloss
to Rose Polytechnic on Feb. I 0, 191 0,
as the fifth-biggest loss in Wildcat<;'
history and their worst loss in SEC
history. LSU had a 35-point win over
Kentucky, 76 41, on Jan. 18, 1987.

way, shape or form," Stallings said.
"Not of this magnitude."
Vanderbilt had never beaten
Kentucky by this big a margin. The
Commodores' previous best was an
81-51 victory Feb. 8, 1989, and now
they have won three straight in
Memorial Gym and five of the last six
in this series.
Gillispie tried to downplay the
defeat as only one luss.
"We just got our tail kicked. That's
all there is to it. Il's one loss, and we
got our tail kicked severely.
Congratulations to Vanderbilt. They
played fantastic. We'll move on. We'll
make a positive out of it someway,"
Gillispie said.
Ramel Bradley, who had 18 of his
21 in the second hal r, said it felt preuy
bad.
"Nobody wants to lose like this, on
!he road, at home regardless. Th.is is
just embarrassing," Bradley said.
Kentucky native Ross Neltncr
added 15 points for Vanderbilt, and
Jem1aine Beal had 10.
Joe Crawford bad 11 for Kentucky,
and Pallerson finished with 10.
The Commodores led 41-11 at
halftime and led by as much as 43 several times, the first when Ogilvy bit
two free throws with 11:361eft at 66
23 ..
Kentucky had held its last eight
SEC opponents below 70 points in
regulation. The Commodores bit that
on a free throw by George Drake with
9:27 left 10 seconds after
Vanderbilt coach Kevin StaHings
subbed out all five of his starters leading 69-30.
'l11e Wildcats looked lost from the
start. Kentucky struggled to find the
basket, hiuing only 3-of-15 from the
floor with more turnovers (12) !han
points (II) in the firsl hal r. It was their
fewest points by halftin1e since scoring 11 against Cincinnati on Dec. 20,
1983.
Patterson, the freshman who had
been averaging 17.2 points per game,
struggled in his first vi::.i.t.to Memorial
Gym. He missed his only shot of the
first half, turned it over under !he basket and picked up two fouls within 50
seconds. His third came with 6:34 left
in the first half.
The Wildcat~ finished with more
fouls (26) than made shots (17).
By the Lime Crawford scored on a
drive to get the Wildcats to 10 points
with 2:21 lefl in the first hair, fans serenaded Kentucky by chanting
"Double digits."
The second half only got worse.
Crawford was called tor a charge,
negating a bucket with 16:31 to go.

keep pace with

EAST battle
by ANDREW SELIGMAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROSEMONT,
Ill.
·David Padgett sat through
those early losses and won-dered what might have been.
The thought crossed Terrence
Williams' mind, too.
"There's no point thinking
about the past anymore," he
said.
Not when the present feels
this good and the future
looks so bright. Padgett is
healthy,
and
No.
23
Louisville is rolling.
Williams tied a seasonhigh with 22 points and
J
Padgett set one with 20 to
lead the Cardinals to an 8868 victory over DePaul and
their lOth win in 12 games on
Tuesday.
It was an easy night for
Louisville (19-6, 9 -3 Big
East), which jumped into lhe
Top 25 and shook up the Big
East race by beating then-No.
16 Marquette and then-No. 6
Georgetown last week.
The Cardinals scored
eight straight to start the
game and 19 of the first 24.
They led 39-31 at the break
after a l 0-point run by
DePaul late in the first half
but pulled away early in the
second. They forced 16
turnovers and countless
rushed shots wj th their press
as DePaul went 23 for-63
from the field, leading to
easy looks on the other end.
Williams and Padgett,
whose previous high was 18
points against Georgetown
on Saturday, each hil 9 of 12
shots, and Louisville was a
scorching 36-of-62. Williams
j
also grabbed eight rebounds
and to say he fed off Padgett
would be an understatement
"How much do people eat
off plates?" Williams wondered. "We feed off him a lot
because he's our point-center, our point-forward, our
point-shooting guard. He's
everything
because
he
rebounds the ball, he passe~
the baH, he leads us. He
could lead us out of the closet, lead us to the ocean. He's
just our everything."
And when Padgett broke
his right kneecap in the sec~
ond game, against Jackson
State on Nov. 18, it was a
huge blow. He did not return
unli I Jan. 1, and allhough
Louisville lost to Cincinnati
that day, this run started right
after that.
"You throw in the fact that
we lost a couple of games,
and I was thinking, 'God, I
wish T could be out lhere to
help those guys, "' said
Padgett, who suffered a season-ending knee injury as a
sophomore two years ago. "1
tried to stay patient and do
whatever I could off the
court. I was trying to ·lead
these guys as much as possible and be like another
coach. It was frustrating."
He said he's pain-free
now.
For DePaul, this was an
excruciating night, though.
Dar Tucker scored 22 and
Mac Koshwal had
15
rebounds for the Blue
Demons (10-14, 5~7), who
have lost five of six and is in
danger or missing the Big
East tournament.
"1 think they do a really,
really good job of getting out
on shooters," DePaul coach
Jerry
Wainwright
said.
..(Padgett) does such a terrific job supporting and moving
everybody around. He's so
physical inside Lhal when you
do get it inside, you get in a
slalemate."
Louisville has done just
about everything right during
!his recent surge.

Team owners, feeling financial crunch as NASCAR season revs up
by CHRIS JENKINS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - If
you're looking for a sign that
NASCAR 's sustained surge or success
is leveling off, just ac;k veteran driver
Mark Martin if b.e' d ever be interested
in owning a racing team.
"I' mjust not going to do it," Mattin
said. 'T ve worked too hard too long,
and 1 know all about this business. I
owned a team, and T went broke in
1982. 1 know how this deal workc;,
even when things look really good,
like two years ago. Then you look at
the climate of the sport today from an
owncr;s standpoint or whatever, and
the climate is not so good."
Sure, Fortune 500 companies will
be splashed all over car hoods and
fenders in Sunday's Daytona 500. But
behind those flashy corporate logos,
there are signs NASCAR's runaway
prospe1ity and popularity arc beginning to plateau.
Television ratings that leaped in
recent years began to slip last season.
And NASCAR ollicials are having
second thougbts about a msh of recent
major changes intended to make the
sport more palatable to mainstream
sports fans - moves that might have
alienated the h<,rrd-core bac;c.
Add in a U.S. economy that
appears to be in a tailspin, and team
owners are beginning to teel the pinch.
"You know, nobody's immune,"
team owner Rick Hendrick said.
"That's what I tell our guys. When you
sec the economy starting to ·slip,
everybody's going to get squeezed.
You might not feel it now, but there's
a trickle-down effect."
Even as Chevrolet drivers Dale
Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson
whooped it up in victory lane last
weekend, Chevy's parent company,
General Motors, was preparing to
announce a record $38.7 billion loss
for2007.
Chevy's racing budget is pocket
change in fiiM's overall budget, and
the company considers NASCAR an
important advertising platfmm. But
the bad news stoked a!) undercurrent
of long-standing concerns about the
automa.k:ers' ability to keep spending
at the same pace team owners' cost'i
are rising.
Even Hendrick, who should be riding high after Earnhardt won the Bud
Shootout exhibition race in his debut
with Hendrick Motorsports and twotime defending Cup series champion
Johnson won the Daytona 500 pole
position, is thinking about the government's economic stimulus package
and how it might affect his empire of
car dealerships.
Two top team owners, Jack Roush
and Ray Evernham, sold significant
stakes in their teams to investors last
year. Another two major teams
merged. Everyone else i!) left looking
for more money.
Evernham sold majority ownership
of his team to Montreal Canadicns
owner George Gillett partly because
Evemham couldn't stomach the business end of the sport. Though
Evemham says NASCAR remains a
good investment for sponsors, he's
worried that won't he the case if cosLc;
continue to skyrocket.
Evernham said it costs more than
$20 million to run one car for a full
season.
"TI' it goes up to 40 and 50 million
dollars, the spread between the haves
and the have-nots is going to be bigger," he said. "And I don't care if you
gel 100 cars that show up. rr you've
only got five or six that can win, it's
not going to be a very good show.''
NASCAR officials acknowledge
that there might be some potholes in
the road, but believe they're already
taking measures to help teams.
NASCAR chief marketing officer
Steve Phelps insists the sport's overall
economics are in good shape.
"l'm not going to say we don't
have a challenge or two, but that's
OK," Phelps said. "It's an opportunity
for us."
Last summer, NASCAR reassigned a group of employees to focus
on helping teams and racetracks lind
sponsors. An even bigger boost was
NASCAR's "Car of Tomorrow,"
which is expected to reduce costs
because teams won't have to ·build
different cars to suit different tracks.
And Phelps said that although
NASCAR wasn't happy with its TV
ratings last year, commercial sales
appear strong going into thi~ season
- an indication companies are still
willing to spend on NASCAR in a
struggling economy.
"1 think the sport, personally, is in
great shape," Hendrick said. "Because
l know my sponsors arc cutting other
things, but they're not cutting the
NASCAR smff. That's a good sign."
Still, there are caution f1ags.
Bobby Ginn. a multimillionaire
real estate developer, bought a team
midway through the 2006 season and
nearly won the Daytona 500 with
Martin lasL year.
Five months later, Ginn had tired
of running the team out of his own
pocket after struggling to find sponsorship and merged his team with
Dale Earnhardt Tnc.
''I feel bad for Bobby, for what he
went (hrough and the money that he
lost," Martin said.
Others in the garage area consider
Ginn's failed experiment a result of
his racing inexperience. But nobody
wtmld make that ca-;c when it comes
to Doug Yates, whose family team
was competing for race wins and
championships not so long ago.
Now it's struggling to get by.
"TI's really tough to gel sponsors,
and 1 wouldn't want to be sitting
where Doug Yates is silting right
now,'' Martin said. "And he might be
fine. I mean, be may be tine and be
might not be losing any sleep about it.
I would be."
Phelps acknowledged the business
model for team owners is chan~:,ting,
and said NASCAR will continue to
work to make sure smaller teams survive.
"We certainly monitor that,"
Phelps said. "We need to have healthy
teams; we need to have sponsored
teams.''
What can NASCAR do to make
being a tean1 owner a more attractive
proposition?
Some want NASCAR to award
franchises. as is done in other sports,
so team owners have more to sell than
used race cars, parts and a building
4')
when they get om of the business.
Evernham wants NASCAR to control co.qs.
"Now's the time to plan,"
Evernham said. "There's a lot of'
good, smart businesspeople in
NASCAR. The rirst major step was
Car of Tomorrow to help keep the
costs down. And we've just got to
now maybe look at some of the labor
costs. engine costs. You're not ever
going to stop· it from growing, the
cqsts. but we've got to continue to
work on containing that growth."
Ten years ago, Dale Earnhardt finally
changed bis luck, won Daytona ·500
by MIKE HARRIS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.Larry McReynolds couldn't
figure
out where Dale
Earnhardt bad gone.
The day before the 1998
Daytona 500, a race Earnhardt
was desperate to win in his
20th try, the unlucky driver
had disappeared, leaving his
crew chief alone to worry.
Again.
"He bad won the Daytona
498 or 499 so many times. you
just wondered if' he wa<; ever
going to win the 500," said car
owner Richard Childress, for
whom Earnhardt won six of
his seven NASCAR championships.
In previous races, tlat tires,
last-lap passes, broken parts,
running out of gas and even
hitting a seagull on the backstretch had seemingly conspired to keep Earnhardt oui of
the Daytona 500 Victory
Circle.
This time, last-minute
engine problems threatened to
ruin Earnhardt's chances.
"l asked his PR guy,
'Where's Dale?' the longtime
crew chief turned TV analyst
said Tuesday. "He said, 'Well,
he's out there with some fans. •
"I'm thinking to myself 'He
picked a hell or a time \0 rub
elbows with these fans. We
need him Lo get here and talk
about this engine.' "
But Earnhardt had a bigger
problem when he finally
showed up.
Stalking past McReynolds
without saying a word,
Earnhardt rummaged through
the drawers of the team's tool
chests until he found some
glue.
"He told me that when he
had got out of the car on pit
road there was a little girl there
from the Make A Wish
Foundation,"
McReynolds
explained. "Her wish wa~ to
come to Daytona and meet
Dale Earnhardl. He had spent
this time with her, and she
gave him this lucky penny."
With the penny set on the
dashboard of the No. 3 car, the
RCR braintmst moved on to
the engine, deciding to roll the
dice and change it.
''The thing 1 stressed to the
guys was this engine change
could be the most important
engine change we ever make,"
McReynolds said. "Obviously,
when they dropped the green
flag, there was no question it
wa<> ours to lose."
With about 25 laps to go, it
was McReynolds who decided
to change just two tires on the
final pit stop.
Earnhardt led everybody
out of the pits and led the rest
of the way, assured of the
biggest victory of his career
when he beat Teny Labonte
back to the tlagstand after a
caution llag came outlwo laps
from the end.
"We knew sooner or laler
the odds had to get in our
favor," Childress said this
week. "With about two or
three laps to go, Dale was
leading, but there was some
other guys close behind. I
looked at McReynolds and J
said, 'We've been here
before."'
Earnhardt's victory, without
question the most popular win
in the first 49 editions of ''The
Great American Race," has
become prut of Daytona legend.
After
Earnhardt spun
smoky doughnuts in front of
the main grandstands, burning
what looked like the number 3
in the grass, fans came out to
roll in what he left, digging up
pieces of the grass as souvenirs.
As Earnhardt drove slowly
onto pit lane, every crewman
from every team and just about
every NASCAR official in the
pits lined up to congratulate
him in what TV announcer
Mik.e Joy called "the world's
longest receiving line."
Just three years later,
Earnhardt was killed in a lastlap crash in the 2001 Daytona
500. That 1998 win was his
only 500 triumph in 34 total
victories at the famed track.
"He wanted that one real
bad," Childress said. "And to
sec him finally get it was the
most rewarding part of it."
That lucky penny remains
forever affixed to Earnhardt's
winning car in the Richard
Childress Racing museum in
Welcome, N.C.
''1 think we had used every
lucky charm we could,"
Childress said. "That one
worked that day. To win the
race, and to have the penny
there and have the little girl
involved was pretty special. It
was emotional.
"A couple of years ago. we
brought the little lady who
gave Dale the penny to the
museum. I took the wheel off
and sat her down in the car. lt
was pretty amazing."
NEW CAR: Ready or not, the Car of
Tomorrow is now the car of today
by MIKE HARRIS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
- It's time to find a new title
for NASCAR's Car or
Tomonow.
After a 16-race preview
last year, the bigger, bulkier
and, hopefully, safer vehicle
is now the car of today. lt will
be used for the entire 2008
Sprint Cup season, beginning
with Sunday's Daytona 500.
"No use complaining or
worrying about it," said Chad
Knaus, the crew chief who
has guided Jimmie Johnson
to two straight Cup titles.
"Tl's what we have to work
with now. NASCAR isn't
going to suddenly decide to
go back to the old car.··
NASCAR
originally
planned to blend the CoT into
the Cup schedule over three
years. But, with team owners
unhappy about building two
different cars to race during
the 2007 season, NASCAR
decided to go full time with
the CoT this season.
"That makes all the sense
in lhe world," said team
owner Jack Roush. "lr was
just
taking
too
many
resources to build the old car
and the CoT. What NASCAR
did was good for everybody."
Last year, the new car
raced only on tracks shorter
than 1 1/2 miles, with the
exception of the road races in
Sonoma, Calif. and Watkins
Glen, N.Y., and the rail event
at the 2.66-mile Talladega
track.
After a dull race there, the
only track besides Daytona
where mandatory carburetor
restrict or plates slow the cars,
everyone's hoping for a better show here Sunday, when
the race will begin in daylight and end under the
lights.
"1 think they're going to
be a handl'ul in the daylight
hours." said two-time Cup
champion Tony Stewart, who
finished second to Dale
Earnhardt Jr. in last Saturday
night's 70-lap exhibition, the
first Daytona race for the
new cars. "When it cools off,
T think it"s going to help
everybody.
"Even though these cars
get a bigger run, they don't
drive as good as the cars
we've had here in the past.
But they're not supposed to;
they weren't designed to
drive as good as the ones
we've had in the pasL"
Tbe CoT is two inches
taller, four inches wider, with
a more upright windshield,
and the driv~r's seat was
moved four inches to the
right. NASCAR also added
crumple zones on both sides,
a splitter to front to produce
downforce and a rear wing.
The result is a less aerodynamic car thal forces drivers
to work a little harder to keep
them going in the right direction, particularly in the corners, and makes it harder to
find an edge over the competition.
"These things can be a
handful," said four-time Cup
champion Jeff Gordon. "You
move around a lot more than
the old cars."
The car is one of several
safety initiatives begun or
put on the fast track after
Dale Earnhardt died in a
crash on the last lap of lhe
2001 Daytona 500.
The CoT, which went
from the drawing board Lo
the racetrack in seven years,
is by far the biggest project
turned out so far by
NASCAR Research and
Development Center in
Concord, N.C.
But NASCAR has said
safety was only one reason
for introducing the new car.
It's also intended to cut costs
for the teams and to improve
competition.
Previously, NASCAR had
different sets of templates for
each manufacturer. To keep
engineers and crew chiefs
from getting too creative
with the new cars, NASCAR
has developed a unified template for all makes.
"NASCAR is keeping us
in such a tight box with the
templates and the grids that
they have, I mean, there is no
difference between the short
track and this car other than
you might have a brake duct
behind the nose or some·
thing," explained Tony Eury
Jr., Dale Earnhat·dt Jr.'s crew
chief.
NASCAR showed last
year it was serious about
keeping changes on the new
bodies to a minimum, banding out big fines and docking
points from teams caught
making unapproved changeli.
Still. team owner Richard
Childress said there must be
room Lo maneuver.
"1 think we've got to
tweak on it a little bit more,
and 1 think NASCAR will be
open-minded about doing
any tweaking we· ve got to
do." Childress said. "We've
just got to gel back to sideby-side racing. That's their
goal. That's everybody 's
goal."

Coleman's latest paint
scheme has 181 co-passengers
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
Nationwide Series driver
Brad Coleman will have 181
co-passengers
with
him
Saturday when he races in the
series'
season-opemng
Camping World 300 at
Daytona.
Through a unique partnership between Coleman's primary sponsor, KimberlyClark, and retailer Kroger, the
No. 27 Ford will sport a paint
scheme that includes 181
Kroger employees trom the
southwest division that have
been recognized for their service.
"1 keep looking at the different faces on the car and
wonder what each of them has
done to be recognized for their
hard work," Coleman said. "T
know that each of those special Kroger employees is
counting on me to work equally hard to bring alllR 1 of them
into Victory Lane."
The familiar No. 27 paint
scheme has been replaced by
the face~ of the Kroger
employees
from
various
departments. The hood of the
car garners the tag line that
embodies the mission of all
parries involved in the program: "Together, we're powered to win.''
