Staff Writer
There is no word yet on when
Floyd County school board members will meet to resume discussions about hiring a new sapcrintendent, but the board chairman nnticipates having one hired by the
January board meeting.
•
At the Dccemher 28 special
meeting, board members met in
closed SC!'sion for two hours discussing the four finalists for the 'uperintendent's post, but they decsded that additional background infonnation on the four is needed before a decision is made. Board attorney Phil Damron was instructed
to obtain that infonnation.

When asked if a new superintendent could be chosen prior to the
January 9 board meeting. Damron
replied, "I assume they plan to continue to deliberate to see if any of
these candidates can muster three
votes on the board."
Brackett and board member
Ersal Ray Wilcox have not ruled
out the possibility that the board
may choose an applicant other than
the four selected in December by
the district's superintendent screening committee.
Board members Phyllis Hanshell. who served on the selection
commntee, and Eddie Patton have
tndicated that they are loolcing at
the four selected by the committee.

Thieves sw·pe safe in burglary
at Mountain Comp. greenhouse
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
Even the safe wasn't safe during
a burglary at the Mountain Comprehensive Care Center's greenhouse office.
According to Chalmer Howard,
program director, the break-in
probably occurred during the wee
hours of the morning December 30.
A safe with about $1,200 was
taken from the office.
"I came in early Saturday morn·
ing, probably about 8 a.m .. and
found the front door unlocked,"
Howard said. "I thought the staff
had left it open."
He sa1d it soon bc.came apparent
that wasn't the case.
''It was pretty obvious that we'd
been hit," he said. "The file cabinets were open and the rug in front
of the door v.as to the middle of the
room."
Howard immediately went to
check the safe. It was gone.
"l called the Kentucky State Po·
lice and a Detective Newsome located the source of their entry,"
Howard said.
The burglars entered the building through a door to a breezeway
between the greenhouse and the of·
flee. They then opened a door into
the office building.
"They actually shut the door to
tbe greenhouse," Howard said.
"They even locked it."
Howard said after he discovered
the safe was missing, he started
looking around.
"1 found signs where they drug
lhe safe out the front door and
rolled il end over end," he said. He
said he found indentations in the
gravel and then the grass where the
safe landed each ltme il hit.
Howard said the burglars took
the fence loose at a couple of poles
and rolled the safe under it.

ri es---~---~-(continued
the system. The court, though,
failed to follow up that action by
adopting an ordinance authorizing
the levy of the special tax. A lawsuit
was filed by Floyd County Attorney
Jim Hammond because the fiscal
court failed to pass the ordmance
and was collecting the surcharge
from telephone customers.
At the end of Apnl. the fiscal
court reviewed a proposed E-911
ordinance 10 an effort to resolve the
legal issues. At the fiscal court's
next meeting, magistrates postponed the first reading of the ordi·
nance establishing the emergency
service and authorizing the monthly
surcharge to telephone customers.
A special meeting Y.as called for
April 28 and a first reading of the
ordinance was held.
't
After being neglected for"thollast
five years, it took interim""fudgeExecutive Bob Meyer about three
months to get the fiscal court to
adopt the ordinance. At a special
meeting of the court on May I0,
magistrates held second reading on
the emergency service ordinance.
On May 11. Floyd County
Attorney Jim Hammond and the fiscal court's independent legal counsel, Ned Pillersdorf. filed separate
motions in a lawsuit related to the
911 ordinance. Hammond filed an
amendment to hts lawsuit that
requested the ordinance adopted be
declared unconstitutional and/or
illegal and that funds collected for
the service for the pa~t five years be
returned to telephone customers.
In his motion. P1llersdorf asked
that the two lawsuits be dismissed
because the issues were moot after
the second reading of the ordinance.
The next month, Floyd Judge
Danny P. Caudill recused himself
from a case involving a lawsuit
against the county regarding the E911 service because County
Attorney Jim Hammond would not
agree for a local judge to preside
over the matter.
Prestonsburg city officials said
they would decline to join in the
county's effort to establish an E-911
system if the E-911 board elected to
go with the Kentucky State Police

•Or t e operatiOn o t e servtce, a
decision that had been made earlier
in the year.
By July, the 911 board decided
the dispatching for the service
should be kept inside the county.
In September, the suit filed by
Hammond was dismissed. Another
lawsuit, filed by ten Floyd County
taxpayers, sought the return of more
than $800.000 collected for the service because they said it was col·
lected improperly. They agreed to
forego any action because Meyer
announced the service would be
operational by February 1996
The issue of 91 I service faced
Meyer when he took office in
March and was also an issue at his
last meeting. At the court meeting
October 20, Hammond asked that
the implementation of the system
be delayed. That request failed.
Hammond then asked that his
lawsuit be reinstated. The lawsuit
wns later dismissed for a second
time. He has appeaUed his case to
the state Court of Appeals.
The county purchased E-911
equipment from 911 Inc. of
Colorado in mid-December at a
cost of $58.043. The bid was the
lowest by about $150,000.
Federal investigation
County Attorney Jim Hammond
was the focus of a federalmvestigation beginning in May when federal
authorities paid a visit to Floyd;
County and issued an estimated 30
subpoenas in a probe that apparently targeted the personal fina cral
dealings of Hammond.

a day tcr testifymg be for~ the federal grand jul) in Ashland. Bishop
declined to say if h1~ resignation
was related to his gra~ jury
appearance.
But Hammond's problems didn't
stop with lhe feds .
His former* wife, Marlene
Tackett Hammond, filed a suit in
August against Hammond seeking
payment of loans. Hammond also
apparently owed the fiscal court for
nearly 18 months of salaries the
court paid for his employees.
Tackett's sun against Hammond
claimed he owed her $95.830.73 for
personal loans she made to him
from 1986-1991.
About that time. Hammond paid
the fiscal court more than $20,000
toward a debt of $ 111 ,504 reportedly owed to the county for child support employee salary reimbursements. Hammond later repaid the
court in full.
Hammond was also sued by
WYMT-TV 56 in Hazard for advertismg he placed with the company.
The television company asked for
nearly $20.000 in the suit.
Hammond counter sued, saying he
had overpaid the television company more than $29,000.
Hammond, along with his wife
Janie. was indicted for fraud by a
federal grand jury on September 20.
They were both charged with one
count of conspiracy to obtain federal funds by fraud and one count of
allegedly falsifying child support
enforcement payroll records. The
charges disqualified Hammond
from serving as a prosecuting attorney.
Hammond and his wife pleaded
not guilty 10 the charges and a
March 4 t.rial date was set.
The Hammonds were laJer
indicted on seven charges, which
include allegations that the pair
devised an elaborate check kiting
scheme involving $8.4 million in
fictitious funds using four local
banks.
The Hammonds entered not

By mid-July. the board ~t a
moratorium on any future s n ~
until some firm numbers we~ p~e 4
sentcd on the district's finances. But
the board backed up that move
before the end of the meeting. They
relented on creating additional bus
river positions after emerging
from a closed session.
Towler res•gned in late July to
take a positiOn with the Russell
County Board of Education. He left
the school system under much the
same circumstances he found it at
when he arrived in 1992.
Board members looked outside
the system to hire interim superintendent Ed Allen for the position
until Towler's replacement was
hired.
By
mid-September,
Allen
announced that the district was
looking at a $1 million deficit and
that the 1994-95 school year ended
with a bank balance of about
$250,000, not more than $400,000
as was reported in August.
In an effort to cut spending and
reduce the deficit. the board looked
at cuts of more than $250,000. The
board al~ looked at a deficit reduction plan that would cost the system
about 100 jobs, a plan which was
later approved by the state, with
some hesitation.
Government probe
A goverment probe touched
many during the year, after a spcc1al
local grand JUry was seated at the
end of May to investigate alleged
government corruption in Floyd
County. The grand jury met until
November and included investigations into allegations of vote fraud,
government corruption, criminal
activity in the solid waste department, monies reportedly m1ssmg
rom am! &heriffs department, and
the,..Jack of an E-911 service.
When the state probe ended in
late November, two Floyd County
men who had asked for the investigations were indicted.
Paul Hunt Thompson, Floyd
County Sheriff, was indicted on one
count of willful neglect of duty for
allegedly failing to property
account for tax receipts since
January 1990.

Beware of fraudulent
pitches for new services
If someone called you on the
telephone one evening and offered
you the chance to participate in an
exc1ting new industl) from the
~ ground floor, what would you
think?
If the person said it was an
opportunity that could amount to
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
profit, what would you do?
According to the FCC, many
people were interested enough last
year to invest thousand' of dollars
in propositions such as these. And
what did these people get for their
money? Nothing.
~
According to the FCC, telecommunicatiOns investment scams
seem to come out of the woodwork
whenever the FCC announces a
licensing opportunity for one of its
wireless services. Since licenses for
Wireless
Cable,
Personal
Communications Service (PCS),
Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR},
and Interactive Video Data Service
(NDS) are being auctioned m the
commg months. the FCC, along
with the Securities and Exchange
~ Commission and the Federal Trade
Commission, are embarking on an
aggressive campaign to alert consumers to fraudulent investment
schemes.
Fraudulent investment companies often make initial contact with
potential investors through cold
calls, radio or TV advertisements or
television Infomercials.
The caller or the ads encourage
interested investors to respond by
~ calling a toll-free telephone number
where they are then subjected to a
high pressure sales pitch offering
high rewards at little or no risk. The
sales pitch is generally accompanied by slick promotional packets,
lending an air of legitimacy to the
investment scheme.
Fraudulent investment companies often target senior citizens and
those least able to properly evaluate
investment options.
"The people taken in by fraudulent investment schemes are led to
believe that any FCC license is a
guarantee of the high profits
promised by the sale:;person," said
FCC Anti-Fraud Task Force CoChair Gordon Coffman .
"This is not true! The
Commission does not approve any
indiv1dual investment proposal, and
an authorization from the FCC is
not a guarantee of success in the
marketplace."
The scam artist 1s careful not to
have an ownership interest in the
bidding company to avoid FCC
junsdiction. The salesperson is also
careful not to emphasize that most
of the money invested-sometimes
up to 80%-goes to sales commisSIOns and ·'admimstrativc costs,"
leaving as little as 20% left to bid in
the auction.
Due to their lack of ca_gital ,
many of these partnerships may nbt
be able to operate profit{bly for
many years. if at all, and will most
likely require additional capital
contributiOns to construct and operate pursuant to any authori7ation
they may win in an auction.
ln addition, the FCC receives
complaints that the perpetrators
often receive the investor's money
(usually from $5,000 to $20,000 per
unit) and then d1sappear.
The FCC urges consumers to
investigate all such proposals carefully, and if they have questions
about upcoming auctions. to call
the FCC's auction hotlinc at (202)
418-1400. Inquiries or complaints
about specific deceptive telemarketing investment schemes should
be directed to your local state
Commission on Corporations or to
the National Fraud Information
Center at 1-800-876-7060.

announcement. Only release of the
full text of a Commission order

David A. Peter~ is the retiring

Almost by definition, home is
where you feel safe and warm.
That's not the case for many elderly people, especially during very
harsh winter weather, said Peggy
of
Wallace,
comm1ss1oner
Kentucky's Department for Social
Services.
Cold. icy weather can bring
about heart attacks, frostbite, asthma, broken bones, hypothermia,
and the risk of house fires, for people of any age, but can be especially deadly for the elderly, Wallace
said.
Many elderly Kentuckians live
alone and may be unable to seek
help if they fall or become ill.
While shut in, they risk running
out of such necessities as food ,
medications or heating fuel.
''Elderly people may even
become disoriented when very
cold," said Anne Flynn, R.N..
nurse consultant with DSS. "They
may be too confused to recognize a
senous problem and seek help.
Outdoors, they may even become
lost or lock themselves out of the
house."
It's espec1ally important for the
elderly to stay warm because
they're so susceptible to hypothermia, Flynn said.
Hypothermia is a drop in body
temperature that can result in death
if not promptly recognized and
treated. It can be triggered in some
by even mildly cool temperatures
of 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit
according to health officials.
Flynn said many elderly have
Jess of a cushion against getting
into trouble with the cold because
they already have a lowered ability
to adapt to changes in temperature.
She also said many medications
interfere with the way heat and
cold are perceived.
"For example, many who take
blood pressure medications never
feel warm," Flynn said. "Their
extremities, hands and feet, are
always uncomfortable."
Flynn recommends staying
warm indoors and out by dressing
in "lots of layers," not one heavy
layer, so clothing can easily be
removed or added as needed. She
also recommends always wearing a
hat outdoors since most body heat
is lost through the head.
Special precautions to prevent
fires should be taken by those who

use fireplaces, wood stoves or
space heaters to heat their homes.
said Reg White, family protection
specialist with DSS.
House fires can be caused by
dirty chimneys, flammable fluids
or stacks of papers stored near a
heat source, or the improper use of
space heaters.
Fires can also be caused by
cooking appliances. When used as
a heat source, the appliances can
overheat and start a fire, while any
open flame, such as gas stove-top
burners, can easily catch clothing
on fire.
'
White advises the elderly to not
only take precautions to avoid fire,
but to prepare and rehearse an exit
plan in the event there is a fire.
He also urges everyone to check

Brewer's barrage bombs Bobcats, 80-79
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Fishermen enjoy tal kmg about
the one that got away.
But for the Betsy Layne
Bobcats, they would just as soon
forget about the one that got away.
Or rather the one they gave away.
Coach Junior Newsome's ballclub has been playing very good
basketball this season and against
Cordia, in the Shelby Valley
Invitational, last Thursday mght the
Bobcats were on the verge of their
sixth victory of the season. But they
let it get away.
The Bobcats dropped an 80-79
dcciston to Cordia 1n overtime on a
last-second three-pomtcr by Jeremy
Brewer. But the real story is the
game should have never gone into
ovenime and even in the extra period. the Bobcats had the game in
their hands.
To explain, Betsy Layne missed
two big free throws with just ten
seconds to play in regulation while
leading 73-71. Next mistake was no
blocking out on the defensive
boards. Cordia got three tries at the
basket after the missed free throws
by Jason Tackett. On the third try at
the :001.4 mark. Jimmy Keith put
the ball back in to tie the game at
73-73. Betsy Layne tried a despera-
tion shot, but tht: game went into
overtime as the shot fell short.
The extra four minutes, particularly the final six seconds, will not
be forgotten.
The two teams played hard in
the ovenimc as the lead changed
hands three times. Betsy Layne
took a 78-76 lead when Jonathan
Newman hit thi! back side of a twoshot foul with I :35 left to play in
overtime. Jeremy Brewer's threepoint attempt was short with
Tackett coming away with the
rebound for Betsy Layne. Rocky
Newsome was placed at the charity
stripe with just 37 seconds remaining in the game. He missed both
free throw attempts, but Chris
Hamilton came up with the rebound
but missed a close-in shot. Out of
frustration, Hamilton fouled Keith
with a little more than 37 seconds
left in the game. Keith hit the first.
but misfired on the second try and it
was a 78-77 Betsy Layne lead.
Cordia put seven-foot Jonathan
Newman on the charity stripe with
27 ticks of the clock remaining
when high-scoring guard Tad
Brewer fouled out. The Bobcat center had a chance to put the game out
of reach of even a three-pointer, but
he missed the first attempt. He sank
the second try for a 79-77 Betsy
Layne lead.
Cordia had the ball and had to
come the length of the court. Cordia
missed on three tries at the basket in
a desperate attempt to tie the game.
Rocky Newsome came off with the
basketball with six seconds left on
the clock. dribbled to the right corner, instead of holding the basketball. he turned and slung the basketball down court.
The play turned out to be a big
mistake.
Jeremy Brewer intercepted the
ball on the Bobcats' side of the mid
coun line. dribbled the ball two
steps beyond the line, let fly a
three·pointer that even the NBA
would envy with 2.7 seconds left.
The ball dipped down tn the ba4
came back out and dropped b
through as the horn sounded
for the Bobcats, 80· 79.
It was a stunned Betsy
crowd that followed the Bobca
Shelby Valley. Some looked 1
they could not believe what
eyes had just witnessed.
Betsy Layne looked sharp '
game's opening quarter.
Bobcats' defense held Cordia
field goals in the first five plu:
utes of the first period as thel
to a 12-2 lead behind the 1\

Pikeville stops Shannon, South Floyd
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
The Pikeville Panthers evened
their season record to 3-3 this past
Saturday night by punang the defense
on high-scoring junior Jason
Shannon and coasting to an 82-62
win over the South Floyd Raiders.
South Floyd dropped to 5-4 on the
year.
Shannon was held to just two
points in the game, but spent most of
the time on the pine in foul trouble.
With a little more than five minutes
to play in the first period, Shannon
was whistled for his third personal
foul and was rcured to the bench.
Shannon had been averaging a little
more than 15 poantc; per game and
nine rebounds.
T.T. Pack, in only has second
game back from an injury, tried to
pick up the slack and finished with
19 points to lead the Raiders. No one
else finished in double ligures for
South Floyd. Michael Stephens and
Nick Little each scored eight points.
Doug Powers led all scorers with
his 24 points. Scott Justice tossed in
19 while Jay Ramsey added 15.
Pikeville's inside game proved
too much for the Ruaders as Powers
had his way instde wnh nine ftrslquartcr poant when the Panthers

Th g
~ ...., !Jed once at 2-2
when South Floyd committed some
mental mistakes that Pikeville took
advantage of. Shannon scored his
only two points on a bank shot with
5:30 to play in the first. Later he was
called for his third personal foul and
exited to the bench.
Behind Powers and Ramsey,
Pikeville went in front 18-5 with 2:44
left to play. After Pack sank two free
throws, they commaned three consecutive turnovers as Pikeville built a
21-9 advantage. Stephens buried a
three-pointer and Powers sank a fivefooter for the 25-12 score.
Following consecutive baskets by
Powers and Frankie Johnson to start
the second for Pikeville, Chris Moore
scored for the Raiders on a 14-foot
jumper. Pack drilled a trey and
Stephens' two free throws concluded
a 7-0 run for South floyd and
trimmed the lead to ten points, 29-19.
But a steal and an out-of-bounds
turnover cost the Raiders as Pikeville
led 33-19. Pack hit a three-pointer for
a 33-22 game, hut the mability to
take care of the basketball and poor
free throw shooting hun the Raiders.
Pikevilk led 42-30 at the half
after South Aoyd scored the final
two baskets of the second quarter on
a layup by Pack and Terrence
Mullins' easy ba!.ket instde. The
Raiders had 12 turnovers in the first
half.

(See Shannon, page 9A)
The final score of the Campbell
County/Allen Central game is not
indicative of how close the game
was played. Campbell County
handed the Rebels their third loss
of the season with an 81-68 decision.
Campbell County pulled away
from the Rebels in the final three
minutes of the game and it wasn't
until Thomas Jenkins fouled out
with more than five minutes to
play in the final period that
Campbell County made its run.
Jenkins, in early foul trouble
on some questionable calls, had to
sit out most of the third quarter
before returning in the fourth. He
picked up his fifth personal at the
5:02 mark with the Rebels trailing
62-58.
Sophomore Todd Howard, who
seems to get better and better as
the season goes on, Jed the Rebels
with 24 points. Howard is the seventh leading free throw shooter in
the state hitting a little more than
92 percent. He was nine of ten
from the free throw line against
Campbell County and has hit 31
of 34 attempts for the season.
Jenkins finished with 15 points
before Jeavang the game in the
fourth quarter. Jason Baker scored
ten points and Brian Crawford
added eight points. Edmond Slone
scored five tn a starting role and
Chns BaHey. back from the suspended list, netted four points.
The two teams opened the
fourth quarter tied at 51 with
Campbell County taking a 54-5 I
lead on a free throw by Jeff
Sebasten and a rebound basket by
Corey Staton.
Howard hit a 15-foot jumper to
tie the score at 56 before
Campbell County took the lead
for good at 58-56. The Camels
(SeeHowar d. page 9A)
and played lor the Daredevils.
But the homecoming wasn't too
thrilling as the Golden Eagles
dropped to 5-4 on the season. South
Aoyd improved to 5-3, their best
start since the school came into
being three years ago.
Shannon's 25 points led the
Raiders. Terrence Mullins finished
with 17 points and Aaron Hall
added nine. T.T. Pack scored eight
points.
The Raiders struggled in the
first quarter, especially Jason
Shannon, who Rose had to encourage to hit the boards harder.
"He finished with 16 rebounds
and 25 points and that's a pretty
good game," the Sout"' Floyd coach
said. "Jason has to go to the boards
for us. He stOQd around in the first
quarter and did not go to the boards
like he needs to."
With the tongue lashing.
Shannon became a terror on the
boards the rest of the way. "Jason
can get us 15 to 16 rebounds a
game if he would bustle," Rose
said."
Johnson Central could not solve
the 3-1-3 zone the Raiders ttirew at
them and their shot selection was
not the best
"I thought they were not ready
for that." Rose said. "It was a good
team effort for us. I thought the
kids played as well as they have all

.
"We played some very good.
defense out there tonight. It scared
me a little bit. I thought they talked
on defense. They played good team
defense.
"T.T. (Pack) has been off for two
weeks. This is the ftrst time he has
played since he hurt his wrist. He
played a good game for us. He didn't score that much, but played well
otherwise."

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION?
FANS, MEDIA WILL LET
TIM COUCH BE
PIECE OF PUZZLE
Ever notice how a New Year's
resolution is a promise made to stop
you doing something you enjoy?
One of them. at least for those
reading th1s space, ts speculating on
University of Kentucky football
and basketball things. Coaches'
contracts, players' performances,
and most of all, new blood, recruiting prospects.
This week I have a New Year's
resolution for considcrattOn
Kentucky fans and media herd
members should resolve to cool it,
get a life, where lim Couch is concerned.
Now that America's Kid has
announced he will do the right
thing. attend college and play sports
in his home state, the media and
fans ought to heed Couch's not so
cryptic plea, "I'm not a savior, I'm
just a piece in the puzzle •·
Step back and let the kid breath
some 18-year-old air.
Unless the sky falls, Couch will
sign with Kentucky February 7 and
very likely rev up again the talkology about how his Bunyan-esque
ski lis will carry him to an NFL contract.
Reality arrives in eight months
when Couch checks in at Shively
Sports Center in late summer. The
6-4. 205-pounder from Leslie
County will discover:
• Being part of the bustle of campus life is a dizzying experience.
• Feel the sting of homesickness
(in the dead of night when a sirenblaring ambulance makes a run to
Chandler Medical Center).
• That peculiar emptiness from
the absence of mom's home cooking.
• Being perplexed about living in
a tiny room in a noisy dormitory.
• Worry about finding the way to
an 8 a.m. class and knowing what to
do with a 25-page syllabus.
• And, finding out Billy Jack
Haskins is The Man.
Not as glamorous nor guaranteed
is it, as radio-talk show regulars and
fickle ticket buyers would like to
believe?
At Shively Sports Center Couch
will take his place at the back of the
line of probably three quarterbacks
- Haskins, Greg Hergott and one
of two Jeffs, Speedy and Snedegar
(the latter has indicated he will
probably transfer).
Haskins is the man. The game
little Paducah native was UK's most
prom1s1ng surprise of '95 and
showed every indication he will be
better next season. Which is the best
news possible for Hergott and
Couch.
A red-shirt freshman, Hergott
has earned and will get his chance
at number two on the depth chart.
While Haskins and Hergoll skirmish for the l-2 spots, Couch can
usc it as a buffer zone behind which
he can hsten and learn and discover
that college football "ain't like
Friday night football in the mountains, boyz.·•
And, as a college recruiter whispered a few months ago, "these kids
can be mature and say all the right
things - how they know full well
that college ball is totally different
from high school.
But being there, taking that first
1
hit, seeing how quick everybody is,
it's still a big old surprise. A big
adjustment.
What can fans (and media) do?
Simple. Leave America's K.Jd alone
to find his way, to learn, to fit in, to
be a piece of a puzzle.
COUCH CRUSH
It was a comical scene at Rupp
Arena December 23. Sandy Bell,
UK's chare d'affa1rs for keeping
athletic programs ·in compliance
with NCAA rules, trying to baby-sit
Tim Couch. Bell was like a mother
hen shooing away reporters and
photographers from the youngster
who was sitting in the end zone area
for the UK and UofL game
moments after announcing he will
sign with Kentucky.
Bell had already dealt with one
cns1s. Moments after Couch
announced for UK, C.M. Newton
was caught in a camera lens hugging the youngster by an Associated
Press photographer.
The scene, considered with Bill
Curry's remark about Couch two
months ago, prompted one writer
(blush) to wonder, "if somebody at
UK is going to find a way to screw
this up before the kid can sign the
papers."
Footnote: Tennessee, Florida
State, Florida, Ohio State... Tun
Couch was headed to Kentucky all
along. No surprise. A family member who lives in Elizabethtown had
it on good authority months ago that
America's Kid would sign with
Kentucky.

headline.
To be continued.
HOWARD
SCHNELLENBERGER
No, absolutely not. Howard
Schnellenbergcr would not be a
'good fit' at UK if Bill Curry leaves
after next season, as some fans have
speculated.
Ironically, Howard's gargantuan
ego, put in the same athletic department as the Da Coach, would place
C.M. Newton exactly where Bernie
Shively found himself in the 1950s
when Howard's old boss Bear
Bryant was down the hall from
Adolph Rupp.
Too, nobody's mentioned it, but
if it is proven that Schnellenberger
violated NCAA rules at Oklahoma,
practicing his team beyond the 20hours per week limit, every expec-
tation is that straight-arrow Newton
would not even grant him an interview.

The Monkey Trial
Tips for parents:
New year, new rules
Cars come with instruction manuals.
So do washing machmes and toasters. But that's
'- not the case with children.
Parents can be dazed, confused and downright baffled by the demands of parenting. They might even
find themselves wondering, "Where are the instructions?"
While all the answers arc hard to come
by, the experts at Radford University in
Radford, Virginia have gathered some help·
ful hints for parents so they might start the
new year out on the right foot.
DISCIPLINING KIDS IS EASIER IF
YOU FOLLOW A FEW, SIMPLE
RULES
Parents hear all kinds of discipline
t advice, not only from experts, but from
friends, relatives and sometimes even
strangers.
One book stresses positive rcmforcement, while another stresses "tough love."
Aunt Sadie thinks you should spank. while
Dr. Smith advises time out. But the particular type of discipline isn't as important as
reasonableness and consistency, says Jeffrey
Chase, Radford University psychology professor and clinical child psychologist .
"Discipline takes time and effort," Chase
says. "It often takes more work to do the
right thing than the wrong thmg. People
tend to ignore problems for as long as possible until they become angry. Anger can be
~ useful if it gives us the energy to change
what we need to change. But it's best to
take action early. while you're still calm and
rational."
Praise and guidance should be given
when things arc going smoothly as well as
when things get rough, Chase says. even if
that means interrupting your own relaxation
to reward good behavior. "After a hard day,
when things arc peaceful and quiet, that
may be when you need to get up off the
couch and go reinforce what's going right,"
he says. "Catch them being good.''
When trying to improve behavior, Chase
~ recommends focusing on one or two behaviors at a time. ''You can't change the course of a river
all at once, but you can move it a few degrees at a
lime."
Some general advice from Chase:
• If you say there will be a particular consequence,
be sure and follow through.
• Lighter, consistent punishment is more effective
than ignoring negative behavior and then instituting a
sweeping punishment. For example, repeatedly losing
one hour of television privileges is more effective
than losing one month's worth at 'a time. Lighter punishments also allow you to "up the ante" in order to
further modify behavior.
• Instead of just telling children what you don't
want them to do, give them mstruction in what to do
I mstead. That may mean working alongside a child to
model the desired behavior.
• Give specific instructions. "Don't hit your ::.ister,"
is easier to enforce and evaluate than a vague "Be
nice to your sister."
• If there's no significant danger to the child, you
may not need to actively intervene. "Sometimes, we
need to let children learn from life, which can be difficult to do," Chase says. "Just as falling down is a
natural consequence of learning to ride a bicycle,
sometimes it's best to allow natural consequences to
take their course. One of the best ways to learn is by
receiving feedback from the environment, even when
that feedback is unpleasant."
• Two-parent families should work as a team.
"Short of your spouse domg something horrendous.
you should support each other in front of the chi I' dren," Chase says. "If you have disagreements, work
them out away from the children. That way the children can't divide and conquer."
• Praise children for being thoughtful. kind and
caring. "Praise creates a pro-social self image und
increases the likelihood that the child will behave in
accordance with that positive self-1mage," says
Chase.
• Rewards such as money or fun outings can be
effective motivators and some parents find that
reward charts arc helpful, Chase says, "but the
rewards should be clearly defined and agreed upon. If
you have such a written agreement with your child.
view it as a contract. Take it seriously and let them
know they can trust you to follow through.
"Discipline is like exercise," he says. "The
short-term effects aren't always pleasant. You have
sore muscles and it takes effort. But there's a definite
payoff down the road.··
WHAT TO DO WHEN KIDS STEAL
• A child comes home with pockets stuffed full of
toys or candy.
• Money disappears e\en more mysteriously than
usual.
• J\ child's piggy bank or money box suddenly
accrues profits faster than a 1980s' junk bond trader.
Under such circumstances, the observant parent
might put two and two together and begin to wonder
Docs my child have a serious problem with stealing
or is this a temporary, childhood case of sticky fingers?
The answer to that depends on many things, says
Radford University psychology professor and clinical
child psychologist Lois Kugler, including the child's
age, the amount of remorse . .,.,.hether there's other
delinquent-type behav1or and the overall frequency,
duration and severity of the problem. "Whether the
stealing develops into a more serious problem ma)
depend upon parental response." she says.
Most children go through periods \\hen they'll
experiment with lying or stealmg, Kugler says, but by
the age of five, children should have some awareness
that such behavior is wrong
lf you suspect your child may be stealing. the
worst thing to do b ignore 11. "lbc best response is a
sw1ft anrJ definite one," Kugler says, "with clearly
specified consequences for stealing or lying ahout it.''
Parents may fail to suspect their child could be
stealing because they assume their child would never
do something they know 1s wrong, even though the
parents have never taken the time to directly address
the issue. "Values need to be explicitly taught,"
Kugler says. "If your child could be stealing, now is
the time to deal w1th it."
Being suspicious of your child can feel
like a betrayal, but you need to be realistic
and recognize that it's possible for any
child to steal- it doesn't necessarily
mean your child will be a criminal or that
you're a failure as a parent, Kugler says.
On the contrary, the failure is in refusing to
face the issue.
Don't ambush your child with accusations, but ask direct questions and insist
upon direct, detailed answers, she adds.
Non-threatening confrontation will sometimes prompt a confession. lf not, some
parental surveillance and detective work
may be in order. Docs your child claim to
have won a prize or received a gift? Such
claims are usually fairly easy to check out.
It also helps to give the suspected thief
a choice, Kugler says: Either a moderately
unpleasant consequence for telling the truth
about stealing or a harsher consequence if
he or she is caught lying. Either way,
"assure your child that you love them and
that the reason you don't want them to
steal is because you want them to grow up
feeling respectful of others, respectful of
themselves, able to control their impulses
and confident in their own ability to differentiate right from wrong," she says, addmg
that you can show from your attitude and
attention to the issue that such traits are
valuable.
Also, be sure to practice what you
preach. What do you do when a clerk accidentally gives you too much change or you
find something that doesn't belong to you?
Or what do you do when your nine-yearold can get a half-price ticket by claiming
to be eight? Your child won't respect your
instruction if you're cheating and lying
yourself. "Expecting your child to be honest in big matters when you allow them to cheat in
small matters isn't morally or logically consistent,"
she says.
Recompense 1s important when a ch1ld has stolen
somethmg, says Kugler. Have the child take the
stolen money or property to the offended person or
store manager and confess and apologize.
Depending on the severity of the thievery or
whether it's a repeat offense, it might also be necessary for the child to repay what was stolen with interest or by working.
If returning stolen items or money isn't possible,
the child cotild be required to work and then donate
the money to charity, Kugler says, explaining that
giving to chanty forces the child to adopt a giVIng
mmd set- and they might even discover that giving
makes them feel better than taking.
It's also 1mponant to try and figure out if there's
an underlymg emotional reason why the child may be
stealing. Kugler says. "Sometimes children might
steal or lie to get attention. Others might feel
deprived. Children also frequently act up when parents are getting divorced in the mistaken belief that
their parents' united concern about the child's behavioral acting out will force them to get back together."
Children will have more of an appreciation for the
value of things if they're "given opportunities to earn
material things or tangible rewards by behaving well
or doing chores rather than be g1vcn unlimited gifts,''
Kugler says...Then. the unexpected loss of such
earned rewards may take on new meaning." However,
she adds that it's important to not dcpnve children by
making them earn everything.
"It's important to deal with these 1ssues when children arc young." she adds, "because .,.. hat we teach
our ch1ldren will eventually affect the character of our
society as a whole."
As more and more evolutionists explained their
findings and expounded their theories early in this
century, William Jennings Bryan made a dramatic
speech in Nashville on January 29, 1925. Bryan,
dubbed the Great Commoner, had been a four-time
candidate for the presidency of the United States.
"Is the Bible true or did men and women evolve
from apes and monkeys," Bryan questioned. "There
is a growing tendency in educational circles to put
the Bible in the background and to come forward
with these ridiculous theories."
At the next session of the Tennessee Legislature,
Rep. John W. Butler of Macon County introduced a
bill making it unlawful for any teacher of state universities or public schools to teach any theory that
denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as
taught in the Bible.
The bill passed and on March 21 it became
unlawful in Tennessee to teach that man descended
from a lower order of animals. Although Governor
Austin Peay felt the bill was unnecessary, he knew
the public wrath he would endure if he failed to sign
it. He affixed his signature, knowing it would be like
many other antiquated laws which states have buried
in their codes of conduct.
Hunter's Biology which supported the Darwin
theory of evolution had been approved as a science
text in Tennessee, so the battle loomed on the horizon-only the battlefield was undetermined.
Soon thereafter, a teacher by the name of John
Thomas Scopes was drinking a Coca Cola at F. E.
Robinson's Drug Store in Dayton, Tennessee when
he became embroiled in an argument over the evolution theory.
"We're using a text which explains the theory of
evolution," Scopes said. "There might be a law
against it but the state textbook commission
approved the textbook we're usmg."
"Scopes, that was before the new law," Dr.
George Rapplyea said matter of factly. "If you continue teaching evolution I may just have to have you
arrested for it."
Rapplyea thought about it and saw it as an opportunity to put the small Rhea County commumty of
Dayton on the map. He had a warrant tssued for the
24-year-old Scopes, who doubled as athletic coach.
Rapplyea then called the Nashville Banner and
apprised them of the story. The astute editor of the
Banner saw the explosiveness of the pending litigation and released a wire story about the "Monkey
Trial ." It made headlines throughout the country and
stayed on the front page of papers for several
months.
The American Civil Liberties Union became
interested in the case and offered the1r services to
John Thomas Scopes by hiring Arthur Garfield Hays
to aid in his defense. Astute legal mind Dudley Field
Malone and Bainbridge Colby, President Woodrow
Wilson's Secretary of State, also joined the team.
When WiUiam Jennings Bryan read of the powerful defense force mustered for Scopes and the evolution side, he announced he was volunteering his services for the prosecution.
" I feel my speeches helped bring on the law,"
Bryan said. "Since it is being tested I must stand
behind it."
International lawyer Clarence Darrow read the
news accounts of the impending Scopes Trial with
much interest. After the completion of the famous
Loeb and Leopold trials. Darrow announced that he
felt a duty to cast his services behmd the defense of
John Thomas Scopes. One after another the legal
giants had entered the Monkey Trial fray.
As the trial date neared, defense lawyer John R.
Neal was in CookevJ!lc filling an application before
Federal Judge Gore for an injunction to prevent the
trial from being held in Dayton.
"If the State of Tennessee denies Scopes the right
to teach biology they arc depriving him of his livelihood," Neal argued.
A large build-up to the trial had been going on for
weeks as residents of Dayton made extensive preparations for the expected crowds. They feared that if
Judge Gore approved Neal's request and 1ssued the
injunction, then the biggest event in the history of
Dayton would be taken away.
That night Dayton residents were elated when
word came that Gore had refused the defense attorney's request. The "show is coming to to-wn" and a
clerk 10 Robinson's Drug Store put the news in the
store window for all local residents to sec. The trial
would stan that Friday in the newly- painted Rhea
County Courthouse.

Ask a group of men to report on
their moods over time and, more
often than not, they arc less likely
than women to report changes in
how they
feel,
says U.S.
Department of Agriculture psychologist James G. Penland.
But, he says. that was not the
case in a 15-wcck study of men volunteers taking selenium at the
Grand Forks North Dakota, Human
Nutrition Research Center.
Selemum, an essential trace mineral. appear~ to lift the sptrits,
according to the study. The ARS
findings suppon a 1990 report from
scientists in Wales that extra selenium improves mood, says Penland,
who is based at the Grand Forks
center which is part of USDA's
Agricultural Research Service.
Penland had 30 male volunteers
each week fill out a standard questionnaire. It measures where the
respondent falls between two
extremes for six types of mood.
Once the study ended, the 15
men who consumed a selenium-rich
diet reported feeling significantly
more clearheaded and elated than
they did at the beg10ning of the
study. Changes among those getting
the selenium-poor diet were not statiStically significant.
On average, the men on the selenium-rich diet-nearly 3.5 times
the daily recommended intakereported slight improvements in all
six mood extremes as the study pro-
Ten Free Flowering Trees
From Arbor Day Foundation
Ten free flowering trees will be
given tp each person who joins The
National Arbor Day Foundation
during January.
The free trees are part of the
nonprofit Foundation's Trees for
America campaign.
The ten trees are two White
Flowering
Dogwoods,
two
Flowering Crabapples, two Golden
Raintrees,
two
Washington
Hawthorns, and two American
Red buds.
"These compact trees were
selected for planting in large or
small spaces," John Rosenow, the
Foundation's president said. "They
will give your home the beauty of
lovely pink, white , and yellow
flowers- and also provtde winter
berries and nesting sites for songbirds."
The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting
between February 1 and May 31
with enclosed planting instructions.
The six-to twelve-inch trees are
guaranteed to grow or they will be
replaced free of charge.
Members also receive a subscnption to the Foundation's
bimonthly publication, "Arbor
Day," and The Tree Book with
infonnation about tree planting and
care.

Mood differences also showed
up among men who consumed the
selenium-poor diet if they had higher body stores of selenium at the
start of the study Changes in mood
were linked to the activity of a selenium-dependent enzyme-an indicator of how much selenium is
available in the body.
Men having more active
enzymes felt more agreeable than

Control multiflora rose
in Winter for best results
The name sounds like something
you'd want to keep around, but
multiflora rose IS a b1g weed in the
fields where tt competes against
crops.
But right now is an ideal time to
take action to control this weed and
other brush species that could pose
problems next spring. said Jim
Martin. extension weed specialist
with the University of Kentucky
College of Agriculture.
"Winter is an excellent time to
control multiflora rose, because, for
one thing, farmers have more free
time than other times of the year,"
Martin said. "For another thing,
nearby susceptible crops are either
dormant or not in the field. They
won't be damaged by the treatment."
Two types of treatment work
against the weed, he said. A dormant stem treatmem requares thoroughly wetting the lower 12 to 18
inches of stem or canes including
the root collar with the herb1ctde. A
dormant soil treatment involves
applying concentrated fonnulations
around the base of the plant for
uptake in the roots and collar.
Martin suggested the farmer be
cautious of a couple of things.
"Apply the herbicide only when
the soil is not frozen or snow is not
on the ground,'' he said. "These
conditions will limit uptake or
allow lateral movement to wash
away the herb1cide from the top of
the soil."
The farmer also should be careful not to apply the formulation
near susceptible trees where uptake
in the roots might take place.

IMPLANTS FOR DENTURES
There have been efforts for
many years to develop a firmer
foundation
for
dentures.
Specifically, efforts have been
made to implant anchors that
would connect replacement teeth to
the underlying bone as securely as
natural teeth are connected by their
roots. Research advances have
brought us to the point where
implants, in some Situations, are
the approach of choice.
Although conventional dentures
generally do an excellent job of
replacing lost teeth, there are cer-

tain problems which may require a
different approach.
If a denture is placed over a
ndge that has become thin and
sharp, the concentrated pressure of
chewtng cim cause trritation and
pain. There are also Situations
where, because of accident, disease, surgery, or genetic defect. the
jaws are unable to support any conventional denture. If this occurs,
implants can work miracles. When
indicated, they have proven to be
the answer, and have an excellent
record of function, comfort, and
esthetics.

are the signs of true quality in•
the world of leather. Nature's

these people, leather IS a~

Leather also offers a variety of comfon benefit~ of
which you may not be aware.
Following are some littleknown facts about leather.
• Genuine top-grain leather

twice as strong and lasts three

she had pa1d expenses from her fee account normally paid by fiscal
court (audit bill and employer's share of wlthholdlngs) she had an
agreement that fiscal court would reimburse her for enough expenses
to cover the shortage of $15,07B. The Clerk provided a copy of a
deposit slip stamped by the bank to the auditors for this same amount.
However, when the auditors obtained from the bank copies of the
deposit slip and the checks making up this deposit while conducting
the current audit, the deposit was made up of checks all dated In
March 1992. None of the checks were from fiscal' court. lt should
also be noted that the copy of the deposit ticket provided to the
auditors by the Clerk at the 1991 exit conference appears to have been
changed when compared to the deposit tlc~et obtained from the bank.
The amounts shown In Items nine and ten as being due to and from the
floyd County Fiscal Court for excess fP.es are the amounts reported
by the Clerk to fiscal court. We were not able to express an opinion
as to whether these financial statements were materially correct.
We recommend the County Clerk eliminate her deficit by depositing
personal funds 1n an amount needed to cause the bank balance to
equal $196,197. The County Clerk would then be able to pay the
obligations Identified.
3) The County Clerk Should Report And Distribute Delinquent Tax
Collections As Required By KRS 134.480
During calendar years 1992 and 1993, the County Clerk did not
report and distribute all delinquent tax collections to the various
taxing districts. The Clerk's policy was to report and distribute
partial payments to taxing districts only after full payment had been
received. However, we ldent1fled numerous Instances where both
partial and fully paid delinquent tax bills ~ad not been distributed.
As discussed In Comment 1. the County Clerk accounted for
delinquent tax collections In three ways: 1) receipts ledger;
2) monthly reports generated by the computer system; and 3) monthly
reports pre~ared manually and sent to the taxing districts. For the
two years examined, the three records dtd not agre~ for any given
month.
We compared taxes collected as reported by the Clerk to the taxing
districts for fee years 1992 and 1993 to copies of receipts Issued
to customers when the taxes were paid. We also compared tax bills
Identified In the computer system as being pa1d during this same
period to taxes collected as reported by the Clerk to the taxing
districts. The procedures performed Identified a minimum of
$103,900 which the Clerk had collected but had not reported and
paid to the taxing districts. Of this amount, more than $92,DOO
was fully paid delinquent tax bills which had not been distributed.
kRS 134.480 requires the County Clerk to make a report to the
Revenue Cabinet, the County lreasurer, and the proper officials of
the taxing districts at least every thirty days. In addition,
KRS 134.480 requires the County Clerk to pay to any of these parties
requesting Interest at the rate of t~enty percent (20~) for taxes
collected but not distributed.
We recommend the County Clerk report and distribute to the Revenue
Cabinet, the County Treasurer, and other taxing districts all
delinquent taxes collected. The County Clerk shall also pay to any
district requesting the twenty percent Interest on the moneys
collected but not distributed. We further recommend the County
Clerk report and dlstrtbute future delinquent tax collections In a
timely manner. This would Include making distribution of partial
payments as well as fully paid delinquent tax bills.
4) The County Clerk Should Expend Public Funds Only For Necessary
Expenses Of The Clerk's Office
In Funk vs Milliken, 317 S.W. 2d 499 (ky. 1958), Kentucky's highest
court reaffirmed the rule that county fee officials' expenditures
of public funds be allowed only If they are necessary, aaequately •
documented, reasonable In amount, beneficial to the pub11c, and not
personal expenses. Therefore, the following expenditures of public
funds by the County Clerk are disallowed:

In addition, the County Clerk made t~~g disbursements for

Total Expenditures Allowed In Prior Year
S 13 1 099
Credit for these disbursements was given to the Clerk tn the
calendar year 1991 audit report. Therefore, these amounts can not
be considered allowable expenditures again for the 1992 calendar
year.
We recommend the County Clerk deposit p~rsonal funds of $15,789
($2,690 dlsallo~ed expenditures and $13,099 previously allowed
expenditures) Into the official fee account. The $15,789 Is Included
In the deficit discussed In Comment 2. We further recommend that
In the future only expenditures necessary for th& operation of tht
County Clerk's office b~pald rrom the bfflc1al fee account.
5) The County Clerk Should Report Receipts From The Sale Of Fish And
Game Licenses To The Kentucky Department Of Fish And Wildlife
Timely And Make Payments From The Appropriate Year'$ Collection'
In A Tlmelf Manner
The County C erk did not submit monthly reports for October, November,
and December 1992 to the Kentuc~y Department of Fish and Wildlife.
kRS 150.230 requires the County Clerk to submit monthly reports on
or before the lOth day of each month detailing the previous month'~
sales of the various fishing and hunting licenses. The Clerk Is
also required to turn over to the Kentucky State Treasurer all
receipts from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses less the
Clerk's commission for the previous month.
ln addition, the County Clerk paid $9,674 to the Kentucky State
Treasurer from her 1994 fee account for license years 1991-92 and
1993-94 final settlements. According to the 1993-94 final settlement,
$463 was co\lected for 11censes sold In 1994. Thus, only $463 should
have been deposited and patd from the 1994 fee account because a
liability resulting from a fee collection should be paid from the
account to which those collections were deposited. Therefore, the
Clerk will not be gtven credit for the remaining expenditures of
$9,211 as these licenses were sold and the receipts were collected
during the 1991, 1992, and 1993 fee years. Payments should have
been made from these accounts and not the 1994 ree account. The
$9,211 paid to the State ror prior years• collections has been
Included In the deficit calculation 1n Comment 2. The County Clerk
should reimburse the 1994 fee account after depositing personal
funds In the amount of the total deficit.
We recommend the County Clerk submit monthly reports to the
kentucky Oepar~ent of fish and Wildlife In a timely manner In the
future. We further recommend that payments to the Kentucky State
Treasurer be made In a timely manner and from the appropriate
year's collections.
6) The County Clerk Should Implement Proper Accounting Procedures
And Maintain Proper Accounting Records

or maintain proper records as evidenced by the following deficiencies:
(a) Receipts were not always deposited In a timely manner.
(b) Prenumbered receipts required by KRS 64.84D to be Issued
by the Clerk to customers were duplicated and the same
receipt number was Issued several times. This circumvents
the Internal control system over receipts.
(c) Monthly bank reconciliations were not completed. The
Uniform System of Accounts established by the state local
finance officer In accordance with kRS 68.21D requires a
monthly reconciliation. If such a reconciliation had been
made, errors In posting to the ledgers (disbursements of
$34,093 were posted twice and disbursements of $19,0DD were
never posted to the ledger) should have been detected.
(d) Adequate documentation was not always maintained for disbursements.
(e) The Clerk did not have an adequate system of Internal control
over accounts receivable.
We recommend the County Clerk Implement proper accounting procedur~
and maintain proper accounting records.

Inde~endent Auditor's Report
We were engaged to audl the statements of receipts, disbursements, and
excess fees of the County Clerk of Floyd County, kentucky, for the years
ended December 31, 1992 and December 31, 1993. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the County Clerk. Our responsibility Is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
The County Clerk Is required to prepare her financial statements on a
prescribed basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with the cash
basis and laws of Kentucky, which Is a comprehensive basis of accounting
other than generally accepted accounting principles.
We were unable to obtain sufficient competent evidential matter to
support the financial statements of the Floyd County Clerk for the years
~nded December 31, 1992 and December 31, 1993.
The County Clerk's records
~ere Inconsistent, Incomplete, and Inaccurate. The County Clerk's records
for collection and distribution of delinquent taxes were not reliable. The
County Clerk's records do not permit the application of necessary auditing
procedures.
Because of the matters discussed In the preceding paragraph, the scope
of our work was not sufficient to enable us to express, and we do not
express, an opinion on these financial statements.
•
COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the ~esults of work performed, we make the following comments
and recommendations.
1) The Clerk's Records Were Inconsistent, Incomplete, And Inaccurate
On September 15, 1993, state auditors began their fieldWork on the
Floyd County Clerk's audit for the year ended December 31, 1992.
During the course of the audit, auditors found that the Clerk's
records showed an unusually large number of deposits In transit as
of December 31, 1992. Deposits In transit are funds which have
been received but have not yet been posted to the Clerk's official
bank account. A relatively small number of deposits In transit for
collections at the end of the period Is not unusual. However, as
of December 31, 1992, the Floyd County Clerk's records showed nine
deposits In transit which were for business on November 12, 13, and
14; December 3, 14, 15, 18, 21, and 30, 1992. These deposits all
cleared on January 4, 1993. Only the deposit In transit for business
on December 30, 1992 would be considered as normal. The state
auditors obtained copies of the other eight deposit tickets Including
all checks deposited with each deposit ticket from the bank. Included
with these deposits were checks dated as early as July I4, 1992 and
as late as January 4, 1993. It should be noted there were five
checks totaling $11,704 from the County Clerk Included 1n these
deposits. These checks were deposited with five different days'
business, as shown In the following chart:

1) The Clerk's Records Were Inconsistent, Incomplete, And Inaccurate
Continued
n the af ernoon of c ober ,
, a
e d rec on of e ate
Auditor, a team of auditors conducted an unannounced •cash count•
of the receipts and deposits of the Floyd County Clerk. The purpose
of the cash count was to "freeze• the Clerk's financial transactions
~or audit purposes so the auditors could count the Clerk's receipts,
deposits, and cash on hand as of a particular day Instead of waiting
until the end of the year when the regular audit Is usually conducted.
on October 30, 1993, the auditors counted all of the checks and
cash found In t~e Clerk's office. A copy of the receipts ledger
was also made at the time of the cash count.
The auditors then attempted to reconcile the cash, deposits, and
receipts to the Clerk's ledgers. After encountering numerous
problems In trying to reconcile It was decided to extend audit work
to the end of the calendar year In order to report on both the 1992
and 1993 fee years. Again, the auditors had trouble In reconciling
to the Clerk's records. Some of the problems encountered are
Identified below.
1. During the 1992 and 1993 fee years, the Clerk accounted for
delinquent tax collections via: 1) receipts ledger; 2) monthly
reports generated by the computer systemi and 3) monthly reports
prepared manually and sent to taxing districts. These records
contradicted each other for the 24 months examined and never did
the three records agree for the amounts recorded for delTOqUent
taxes collected.
The following Is an example of that contradiction:
Taxes Collected For July 1993
Amount per receipts ledger
$ 62,480.00
Amount per computer report
$ 62,713.39
Amount per manual report
$ 49,495.25
2. There were numerous delays In obtaining records from the Clerk.
Several bank statements as well as cancelled checks and deposit
slips were missing and some had to be obtained from the bank
under provisions of kRS 43.0BO.
3. A change appeared on the cash receipts ledger after the cash
count on October 30, 1993. As part of the cash count, a
photocopy of the Clerk's receipts ledger was made. While
performing audit procedures at a later date, the auditors
found•·the amount recorded for delinquent tax collections on
October 8, 1993, had been changed from $11,212.33 to $5,305.86.
The dally checkout sheet for this date was also missing from the
Clerk's files. The auditors examined duplicates of actual receipt
forms Issued to customers for the day. The receipts forms
Indicated that $11,212.33 was actually collected for this date.
we have disclaimed an opinion on the Clerk's financial statements
due to the unreliability of the records. As discussed above, many
problems were encountered. Based on procedures completed, we
determined the Clerk had a deficit and owes her fee account a
m1nlmum of $195,126 from personal funds. The deficit Is discussed
further In comment 2.
This matter has been forwarded to the Attorney General's Office
and the Kentucky State Pollee for further action as warranted .
The County Clerk Had A Minimum Deficit Of $195,126 ln Her Official
Bank Accounts
The County Clerk had a minimum deficit of $195,126 1n her official
bank accounts for the combined 1992 and 1993 fee years as of
January JO, 1995. Out to the Inconsistent, Incomplete, and
Inaccurate records, we were unable to assure ourselves with normal
or expanded auditing procedures that this was the total deficit.
However, through procedures performed, we were able to Identify
this minimum deficit based on liabilities as shown below:
(1) Unreported delinquent tax collections

a deadline approaching for another
• lection in Kentucky.
It is. and there is.
January 30 is the deadline for
candidates to file for the May 1996
primary election, which will include races for State Representative and State Senator in Floyd
County.
At this point, though, who
might run for what is still a matter
of opinion.
The latest proposal for redistricting Kentucky's legislative dis.cts, required by law but not yet
official, splits Floyd County into
two House districts... the 95th,
which is currently representated by
Greg Stumbo: and the 94th, which
is represented by Herbie Deskins,
of Pikeville.
That's a change from the past,
when parts of southern Floyd
County were in the 92nd district,
which is represented by Donnie
Newsome, of Knott County.
The senatorial redistricting proposal could produce an even bigger shake~up if a plan to group
Floyd, Johnson, Knott und
reathitt counties is approved.
That line-up could result in two
incumbents, Democrat Benny Ray
Bailey, of Hindman, and Republican John David Preston, of
Paintsville, facing one another in
November.

Court sanctions Hammond in civil
suit over alleged advertising debt
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
#
Floyd Circuit Judge John David
Caudill has sanctioned Floyd
County Attorney Jim Hammond for
failing to promptly respond to a
records request related to a civil
lawsuit filed against Hammond's
private law firm.
On Thursday. Judge Caudill entered an order in Aoyd Circuit
Court for Hammond to pay Gray
Communications, doing business
as WYMT TV, $150 for ''failure to
make timely responses to the re-
quests" for documents related to a
civil suit filed by the communications company for an alleged advertising debt.
Last July, Gray Communications filed suit against Hammond
claiming that he owed WYMT-TV
$29,299 for advertisements for his
private law firm that aired on that
station.
Hammond filed n counterclaim
in which he contended that he had
overpaid the television station for
those advertisements.
In a pre-trial hearing on November 10, Gray's attorney, Bill Fran-
cis, argued that Hai'l"'lond failed to
respond to requests for admissions.
An admission is a pretrial discovery device by which one party asks
another for a positive affirmation
or denial of a material fact or allegation at issue. The request is to be
answered within 30 days.
Francis argued in November
that Hammond had been served
with the request m July but that the
documentation proving that service
had not been filed wirh the circutt
clerk.

''The state didn't do their job."
Hunter said. "They didn't salt the

are no signs about a break in the
pavement and the state should be
made to fix the road."
In an attempt to gain awareness of the problem, Hunter videotaped the road and then mailed the
video to U.S. Representative
Harold "Hal" Rogers.
"I think he will help," Hunter
said. "I also have a lot of support
from neighbors. I plan to get a petition up to get the road fixed."
Hunter said the roadway broke

•Newsome gets
a year and a
day in fed pen
A Floyd County man who admitted embezzling more than
$50.000 from a local bank was
sentenced Wednesday In federal
court to one year and a day in a
federal prison.
Steve Newsome, 34. of Martin,
who was branch manager and Joan
officer at the Trans Financial Bank
in Martin, pleaded guilty to a crimmal information last October to
• )aking $52,975.58 from the bank
between October 1993 and February 8, 1995.
The information said that Newsome took funds from lhe bank's
vault; took cash from a customer's
bank account; accepted loan payments but did not apply the payments to customers' loans; and
took bank cashiers' checks and
used the money for his own purposes.
On Wednesday, Newsome appeared before U.S. Magistrate
Judge Joseph Hood in Pikeville
1-cderal Court. Judge Hood recom mended that Newsome serve his
prison term at the Federal Prison
Camp in Ashland. Newsome was
-also sentenced to three years of supervised release.:.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Wohlander, Newsome
McCauley was charged with
possession of cocaine, conspiracy
to -trafficking in coc.'line and carrying a concealed deadly weapon.
Deputy sheriff Steve Toy testified Wednesday that approximately
36 grams of what appeared to be
cocaine and more than $3,000 were
confiscated in the raid.
McCauley had in his coat pocket a small amount of a white substance that appeared to be cocaine
and a rolled up one dollar bill, Toy
testified. The deputy said that when
officers entered the residence, he
heard an object hit the floor beside
McCauley, which turned out to be a
"stabbing" knife.
Under questioning by public defender Kristi Gray, Toy testified
that McCauley's alleged involvement in a conspiracy to sell cocaine
came from information supplied by
a confidential informant.
Gray asked Toy how it was determined that the substance found
in McCauley's coat pocket was cocaine. The officer said that the
powder was wrapped m a small
piece of cellophane and tied at the

fact that we are getting more means
that the poverty and unemployment
levels in this area have increased
and the few hundred dollars the
grant has increased probably will
not make up the difference for
some of those people."
She said some pantries may already be experiencing problems

Cost-share program announced
The Floyd County Conservation
District will be accepting requests
for cost-share funding under the
Kentucky Soli Erosion and Water
Quality Cost-Share Program begmning January 16 and extending
through February I 5.
The Kentucky Sot! Erosion and
Water Quality Cost-Share Program
was created to help agricultural
operations protect the soil and
water resources of Kentucky. This
program is a result of House Bill
377, which was passed in the 1994
General Assembly. The bill established annual cost-share funds to be
administered by Conservation
Districts. Prionty will be given to
animal-waste-related problems and
Agricultural Dtstrict participants
where pollution problems have
been identified. Funding for the
program is provided by the
Kentucky
Department
of
Agriculture as a result of an
increase in the pesticide products
registration fee.
Efforts arc underway by different organizations and groups across
the state to increase the funding
available for th1s cost-share program through a request to increase
the general fund appropriation by
$2 million to the 1996 General
Assembly.
Eligible practices will be
approved for funding by the Soil
and
Water
Conservation
Commission at the Kentucky
Division of Conservation, located
in Frankfort, as funds are available.
For more information, contact
your local Conservation Dtstnct
office at 886-3128 or the Kentucky
Division of Conservation, 663
Teton Trail, Frankfort, KY 40601.

Hamm0 n dHammond countered that he had
not received the request until
October.
Judge
Caudill
ruled
in
November that there was not sufficient evidence that Hammond had
received the request and directed
him to answer to Gray within 30
days.
On December 22, a second hearing was held, according to Judge
Caudill's order, and Gray'f auomey
argued that Hammond had been
served in July and that no other
attempt had been made to notify the
defendant. In the answer to
Hammond's
claim,
Gray
Communications had raised the
amount Hammond allegedly owed
to over $35,000.
Hammond denied the allegation
of the debt to Gray.
Judge Caudill ruled that
Hammond most likely received the
request in July, but that Hammond
could not answer the request
because it was based on "amounts
of an indebtedness based on July
requests for admissions in which
the plaintiff was not sure of until
December 22, 1995."
"However, the court is of the
opimon that the requests for admissions were sent to the defendant in
July, 1995, and giving the defendant the benefit of the doubt, there
is a likelihood that these requests
for admissions were not observed
by the defendant as they appear to
have been attached to a request for
production." Judge Caudill's order
said. "Although the court will not
sanction the defendant to the extent
of requiring an admission of a debt
in which the plaintiff was unsure of,
it is appropnate that some type of
sanction be issued for failure to
make timely responses to the
requests for admissions.
"It is therefore ordered that the
response to requests for admissions
be allowed filed and the motion of
the plamtiff to strike the filing of
such responses is overruled and that
sanctions in the amount of one hundred fifty dollars ($150) be issued
against the defendant to be paid to
the plaintiff for failure to make
timely responses."
A call to Hammond seeking
comment was not returned.

parking lot when the trooper
arrived at the scene and Jenkins
confessed to the crime, Roberts testified.
'The minor was not at the scene,
Roberts satd, but Jenkins named the
juvenile. Roberts said he is seeking
charges against the juvenile, too.
The two took two and a half
cases of beer from the store, the
trooper said.
A second degree criminal mischief charge was amended to a misdemeanor offense because damages
at the store did not exceed $500,
Roberts said.
Judge Allen referred the case to

Thirty Years Ago
Editor:
I would like to take this time to
say thank-you for two different
occasions. The first concerning the
PTA of Auxier Elementary and the
second, a Christmas party.
The Auxier PTA has worked
hard to raise money to benefit the
students. This year the PTA gave
each student a T-shirt with the
Auxier logo for Chnstmas. I think
this was a nice idea. I hope all the
parents will join me to say thankyou.
I also want to thank all the special people who participated in the
Christmas party given for the special needs students of Floyd County
and their families. The party was
held at the Convention Center of
Jenny Wiley State Resort Park.
Thanks again!
another big government program.
House Bill 250, enacted by the
General Assembly in 1994, created
a health policy board run by government bureaucrats and political
appointees who dictate health care
policy. Studies have shown this
new health system will .lead to
rationed health care for thousands
of Kentuckians because costs will
continue to rise due to the heavy
regulations imposed by the health
policy board.
A sensible solution to the health
care problems in Kentucky would
be to:
I. Eliminate the Employerbased/Group Plan systems.
2. Institute a voucher/tax credit
system for those who can't purchase their own health insurance.
3. Allow open competition
between health insurance providers.
4. Rebate salary health care
•
deductions (tax free) so employees
can purchase their own health
insurance.
5. Make the cost of your health
insurance tax deductible.
The solution is clear: Health
reforms that are free market-based
work best. These ideas are documented in numerous Heritage
Foundation studies and will work
because that are based on free market principles. For over 30 years, •
the government has kept the health
care system closed to open competition, resulting in exploding costs
for both businesses and consumers.
If liberals in Frankfort would trust
the free market, health care costs
would go down. But, it's up to the
voters to make them understand
that on election day.

Get the government
out of health care
Editor:
The new Kentucky health care
system.....o.a cn:ation of Herbie
Deskins and the liberals in
Frankfort-just
sent
me
a
Christmas present: A 150 percent
increase in my health care costs. To
keep my current health coverage I
will pay a 150 percent increase over
what I was paying just one month
ago. If I choose the "budget plan,"
I'll pay 68 percent more per month
and my deductible will increase to
$2,500 per year.
Who can we thank for this mess?
The liberals in Frankfort-which
include State Representative Herbie
Deskins. Just like his pals Bill and
Hillary Clinton, who thought universal health care run by the federal
government was a good idea.
Herbie believes the answer to
Kentucky's health care problems is

Plan needed
before filing
for election
Secretary of State Bob
Babbage said his office is unable
to accept candidacy filing papers
for legislative races until the
General Assembly enacts a legislative redistrict plan.
The General Assembly meets
in regular session beginning
January 2 The filing deadline for
races on the May primary election
is 4 p.m. January 30.
The Kentucky Supreme Court
ruled the 1991 legislative reap
portionment plan invalid and
directed that no legislative elections could be held after January
3, 1995 until new legislative district boundaries are determined
by the legislature.
"This action prevents the
Secretary of State from taking
candidacy papers until new legislative district boundaries are
drawn," Babbage explained.
The court action applies only
to races for the I 00 seats in the
Kentucky
House
of
Representatives and the 19 seats
in the Kentucky Senate which are
up for election next year.
Other offices up for election in
1996 include the President nnd
Vice President, one U.S. Senate
seat, Congress, some local school
board seats, and two-year term
city offices which were last elected in 1993.

LARKIN A RED
THROUGH '99
Good news and bad news came
out Cincinnati concerning the
Reds. The good news is that Barry
Larkin is not one of those money
hungry baseball players. The
homespun Reds • shortstop has
opted to sign an extension of his
contract with the Reds organization and looks to be a Red at least
through the 1999 season.
Larkin has been a mainstay at
the six position since he took over
full time in 1987 at short. He is an
exceJlent glove man and more
than that - a team leader.
The bad news?
Evidently Reds owner Marge
Schott is still an Eric Davis fan
and the Reds signed the former
Reds, Dodger and Tiger center
fielder to a minor league contract
this week. The last person the
Reds need on their roster is Davis.
He didn't play hard when he was
getting the millions and chances
are he won't play hard the second
time around.
Let's see. We have Chris Sabo
back. Now Davis. And we let Ron
Gant go and didn't want to sign
him to a long contract. Davis is not
the answer and as much as I like
Sabo, he will not settle the third
base problem for the Reds.
KENTUCKY,
TOO MUCH NBA?
How do you like the present UK
Wildcats basketball team?
I have never heard so many
comments, and I tend to agree
with some, that Rick Pitino has
formed an NBA team instead of a
college squad.
If you notice, they don't play
like a college team, but more like
an NBA club. There seems to be
too much individualism (more
than we are accustomed to) this
year. I don't like the Walter
McCarty growl after he dunks the
basketball. That 1s too much
Georgetown University showmanship and we know how we feel
about the Hoyas (whatever that is).
I certainly don't like the hair
cute; of Anthony Epps or Derrick
Anderson. Antoine Walker is playing like a player who has seen his
potential (in an NBA uniform) and
is out to prove that he belongs in
the Cats lineup.

r·
Former McDowell Daredevil
coach (remember those good
days), now head coach at Johnson
~ Central High School, Turner is in
his third season at the Johnson
' County school and he still can
coach the basketball game.
While his present team is 5-4 on
the season, you can see Turner's
offenses
and
defenses he used
at
McDowell.
McDowell was
one of the powerhouses in the late
~ 80s and early 90s, · - t - •

tion closed the Sports Edito&
school. Remember the '89 regional tournament finals against
Prestonsburg?
You rarely see Coach Turner
blasting his kids publicly. He
knows how to handle his players
and we need more coaches who
will show respect toward his players.
He is still a favorite and I would
hope one day he would return to
Floyd County because he is one
good coach we let get away.

Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
From down on the gym floor at
Shelby Valley we learned these
importanl facts:
• Betsy Layne's new football
training complex is scheduled to
break ground in March and hopefully be completed by the fall when
football practice begins.
• The Unisign Bowl this year will
have four teams taking part instead
of just two, according to head football coach John Derossett.
Tentatively, Allen Central will play
Elkhorn City while Betsy Layne
goes up against Pike Central.
At South Floyd we discovered:
• Mike Potter officiating high
school junior varsity games. Seems
Mike put the striped shirt on last
year. He also is calling grade school
games as well.
SECTIONAL
ALL-STAR GAMES
Interest has been shown in the
suggested Sectional All-Star tournament to be played between grade
school players. We are hoping that
coaches will come forth and express
more interest. It would make a great
way to end the grade school season
after the county tournament is over.
Betsy Layne's Junior Basketball
League is ready to sponsor the tournament and the Betsy Layne gym is
available to hold the event. Let us
hear from you around the gym floor.
HALL DOING
FINE JOB AT JCHS
It is good to see some fonner
Floyd County players coming back
to Floyd County after getting an
education and putting something
back into our school system that
they got out of it.
Brian Hall is an assistant coach
at Johnson Central under coach
Johnny Ray Turner. Brian is coach-
ing
the
junior varsity and
doing a fine job.
Another, Kevin Spurlock, is at
Allen Central and Kevin will be a
fine head coach some day. Kevin
will be coaching the Rebel baseball
team this spring.
SAME COLORS?
When coach Jim Rose came out
for the Johnson CentraUSouth Floyd
game, he was wearing a dark blue
coat with light gray pants. What did
Johnson Central coach Johnny Ray
Turner have on? A dark blue coat
but a little darker gray pants.
GETS CHRISTMAS WISH
In my list of Christmas wishes,
ran two weeks ago, one was that
Don "Duck" Shannon would get
him a big bag of shelled, salted
peanuts. Sure enough Duck showed
up at the Johnson CentraVSouth
Floyd game last Friday night with a
bag of shelled peanuts. They were
very good.
RAIN DROPS FALLING
The rain is still finding a way
through the roof of the Betsy Layne
dome gym. The floor has to be monitored during game time and wiped
up as needed. Why doesn'tsomeone
fix the mess before some kid is
hurt?
FLU BUG HAS THE BOBCATS
Betsy Layne coach Junior
Newsome is concerned over the
way the flu bug has hit his team just
before the Pikeville Invitational.
Some key players have been hit and
are questionable for the tournament.
Around the hardwood, gridiron,
diamond, we will be there to cover it
for you.

Gearheart showed great restraint

Gearheart had a strong defensive

We have to get Jeff Sheppard more playing time. We have
too. He should be starting over Ron Mercer. I know, I know.
Mercer is going to be a good one (someday). But right now
we don't need a potential star, but one who has proven he
can play the game. Jeff Sheppard needs to replace Mercer in
the lineup. Mercer's time will come. Come on Coach, put
Sheppard in the lineup.
Free throw shooting for this team is like watching some of
our area high school teams try and shoot the charity toss horrible. Kentucky will never win a national championship
if they don't learn to connect from the free throw stripe.
This team does not play defense like we have become
accustomed to. But that can be attributed to so many individual stars. Let's go back to Joe B. Hall and Adolph Rupp's
days and get us six or seven good players and several role
players and not worry about spreading the minutes.
I don't like this running them in and out game. Sony!

SUPERTRUCK SERIES
TO EXPAND
Keep on truckin'!
How many times have we seen
those familiar words?
To NASCAR fans from coast to
coast, that phrase has taken on new
meaning with the introduction of the
NASCAR SuperTruck Series by
Craftsman.
In
its
inaugural
season,
NASCAR's newest venture took off
faster than a Talladega draft. Looking
ahead to 1996, the NASCAR
SuperTruck Series will expand to 24
events, and will feature new stops at
super speedways in Homestead, Fla.
Las Vegas, Nev., Loudon, N.H., and
Nazareth, PA.
Two of the tracks, the Metro-Dade
Homestead Motorsports Complex
and Las Vegas Motor Speedway. arc
1.5 miles in length and represent the
fastest layouts on which the sophomore series will compete. The southem Florida track hosted a NASCAR
SuperTrack Series exhibition race in
early
November
and will

season opener

March
17.of
The soon-to-be-completed Las
Vegas facility will close out the '96
campaJgn on November 3, with over
$600,000 in total posted awards the largest even purse in the two year
history of the series.
'The unbelievable success of the
NASCAR SuperTruck Series in its
debut season enables us to move up to
the next level much quicker than anyone would have thought possible,"
said Dennis Huth, NASCAR Vice
President for Administration. Huth
added, "The millions of NASCAR
fans who were excited by the series'
may close finishes in 1995 won't be
disappointed by what 1996 will
bring."
Each event on the 1996 NASCAR
SuperTruck Series schedule will be
televised with up to five events set for
broadcast by CBS Sports. WTBS,
TNN and ESPN will team together to
bring the majority of the season's 24
races.
One great appeal of the
SuperTrack Series is that it brings
NASCAR racing to many different
areas of the country. Get this - the
series will visit 23 different tracks in
20 different states. From coast to coast
and border to border, race fans will
get the chance to catch the latest
NASCAR phenom.
Frans of Darrell Waltrip will be
happy to know that he is fielding a
new SuperTruck team for 1996. The
Sears DieHard battery brand will
sponsor the new team and Waltrip's
driver will be Bill Sledgewick.
Waltrip's number 17 Chevrolet C1500 SuperTruck will not be short on
driver experience. Sedgwick comes to
the Waltrip camp with more than 15
years of stock car racing competition
in his pocket, including 16 victories
and 46 top-five finishes in 65 Wmston
West Series starts.
Waltrip is not the only Winston
Cup pilots to dabble in the world of
NASCAR SuperTrucks. Fellow drivers, Dale Earnhardt, Ernie Irvan, and
Ken Schrader just to name a few, also
own rides on the SuperTruck circuit.

The retrial of former Pike District Judge Howard Randall Starnes
has been continued until February 1
at the request of Starnes' attorneys.
Starnes· first trial ended with a
hung jury after jurors deliberated for
six and one-half hours and agreed
Starnes was guilty, hut couldn't
agree if he was entrapped.
Several jurors interviewed said
the jury of nine women and three
men agreed Starnes was guilty on all
counts, but five jurors believed he
was led into the crimes by federal
investigators.
Starnes, 47, is standing trial for
one count of conspiracy, two counts
of cocaine distribution, one count of
distribution of painkillers and one
count of possession of painkillers
with intent to distribute.
During the trial, Starnes admitted

giving another judge cocaine and
painkillers. He also claimed a sitting
state legislator introduced him to
cocaine and that he snorted the drug
with a former governor.
Starnes said he began getting
cocaine for former Pake District
Judge Charles Huffman Ill in April
1995 when Huffman asked him to
and because he felt sympathy for
him.
"I was concerned about him getting in trouble. I was trying to protect him." S!Jlrnes said.
When the trial began in U.S.
District Court. prosecutors wasted
no time presenting the most damaging evidence from video and audio
recordings of conversations wath
Huffman.
The recordings were made after
Huffman agreed to cooperate with
investigators on January 6, 1995.
On the rapes are several conversations at various times during April
1995 about Starnes acquiring
cocaine for Huffman and himself.
Starnes claimed he snorted
cocaine with fonner Governor John
Y. Brown Jr., but the ex-judge recanted the story after the !Jlpe was played.
Following testimony in court,
Starnes told reporters he was just
"blowing smoke" during the recording. made April 10 in Huffman's
office.
Brown denied even knowing
Starnes.
"1bis is the silliest exploitation of
trying to create a news story without
any substance and fact at all," Brown
said in a relephone interview. "First
of all. I've never heard of the guy.
And second of al1, he even denies the
truth of the statement."
On the tape, Starnes said he
accompanied Brown, late Louisville
Mayor Bill Stansbury and a
Louisville police official - whom
he did not name - in a camper to a

The suit alleged Roberts was
separated from her friend, Bobbie
Lois Smith, after both were taken to
the jail. It was at this time Roberts
claims she was attacked by Cantrell
and Morris.
"Without adequate justification
or provocation. defendants Cantrell
and Morris wantonly, unnecessarily,
maliciously and sadistically beat,
struck and kicked Roberts, inflicting
substantial and severe physical
injuries. pain and trauma," the com·
plaint reads.
Roberts also claims she did not
receive any kind of medical treatment at the jail, but that she did see
a docror after her release.
The suit characterius th~ conduct of Cantrell and Morris as a
"gross and excessive use of force
and is repugnant to the conscience
of mankind."
Roberts' suit also c laims the
counry was at fault for a number of
reasons which contributed to the
attack.
"As a result of its deliberate
indifference to the constitutional
rights of the inmates, prisoners and
detainees at PCDC. Pike County has
failed to assure the adequate training and supervision of PCDC
employees and to assure the consli·
tutional treatment and confinement
of inmates, prisoners and detainees
at PCDC," the suit said.
Roberts also claims in the suit
she "has, is and will suffer substantial physical pain. future physical
complications and pain, severe emotional distress and men!Jll anguish."
Roberts is asking for $50,000 in
compensatory damages. general

The
National
Weather
Service (NWS) will begin
installation of the new Doppler
weather surveillance radar
(Model WSR-88D) at the
Jackson Weather Station on
February 15.
The installation of the
Jackson WSR-88D is part of a
major modernization program
at the NWS to improve the
quality and reliability of its
products and services.
"This new technology is an
enormous step forward in the
improvement of NWS forecast
and warning services," George
E. Marshall, meteorologist in
charge in Jackson, said recently
in a letter.
Through the modernization
program, outdated radar. satellite, observational, and internal
da!Jl systems will be replaced
with the most technologically
advanced systems now available, Marshall said.
That new technology is the
WSR-88D, which excels in
detecting the severe weather
events that threaten life and
property, from early detection
of damaging winds to estimating rainfall amounts for use in
river and flood forecasting. The
Doppler system can also
increase advance warning for
short-lived, often catastrophic
events such as tornadoes,
downbursts and flash floods.
The Jackson WSR-88D will
undergo rigorous testing and
adaptation to local use prior to
commissioning in late 1997.
Upon commissioning, the
WSR-88D will become the
"official" NWS radar covering
Eastern Kentucky, Marshall
said. After confirmation of an
equal or improved level of services from the WSR-88D. the
old radar will be decommissioned, he added.
A realignment of severe
weather warning responsibility
for Eastern Kentucky will
accompany the change in
radars. Upon commissioning of
the Jackson WSR-88D, responsibility for Bath, Estill .
Fleming. Laurel, McCreary.
Menifee, Montgomery, Powell,
Pulaski. Rockcastlc. Rowan,
Wayne and Whirley counties
will shift from the Louis.,·ille
NWS office and Elliou.
Johnson and Martin counties
from the Charleston NWS
office to the Jackson office.
The National Weather
Serv1cc anticipates a rota! of
nearly 160 radars to be
deployed by the mid- 1990s in a
cooperative effort with the
Department of Defense and the
Federal Aviation Administration.

Miners get pink slips
More than I 00 employees of Marrowbone
Development Company were permanently laid off on
December 29. The company had notified about 275
employees on October 30 that they would be restructuring the company and a number of employees would
be laid off. Co mpany official s announced that two of
the four mining operations, Big Branch and Left Fork,
owned by the company would close and those mineable
reserves would be depleted at the end of the year.
Oil Springs Elementary was delayed by the Johnson
County School Board during a special meeting
Monday.
Superintendent Orville Hamilton said a decision
will probably be made at the board's regular meeting
January 22.
Representatives from the Kentucky Department of
Education were in Johnson County Wednesday to
inspect the three locations being considered by the
board, Hamilton said.
Two of the locations being considered are on Route
460 at Staffordsville; the other is on new U.S. 23 at
Jenny's Creek.
Actual construction of the proposed grade school is
about two years away. - Th~ Paintsville Herald
Discretionary funds are currently so low, many
expenditures the board is considering will be impossible in the current budget.
One such project is the Alternative School. The
initial cost of an alternative education program would
be approximately $250,000, includ ing salaries for
two certified and two cla3sified employees for the
frrst year. Recurrent costs of more than $ 100,000
would be needed to operate the program on an annual basis.
According to the superintendent, approximately
$750,000 will have to be cut from the budget by the
end of this year. The reinstatement of the alternative
education program would force a cut of at least $1.
The program was cut by the board last February.

Old tradition, new sounds
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
An old tradition will have a bit of new sparkle this
year as the voices of Aoyd County's youth raise in
musical tribute to Old Christmas on January 7 at
Jenny Wiley State Resort Park.
Talented and Gifted music students, under the
direction of Rebecca Haywood, at Prestonsburg
Elementary will sing 'The Friendly Beasts," a song
that tells what each beast of the stable sacrificed for
the birth of the Christ child.
Ms. Haywood, who will solo during the celebration with 'The Cherry Tree Carol," a song traditionally sung around the Christmas tree in Appalachtan
homes.
Other events planned include performances by the
Kentucky Opry, Lawrence Webster and the Mule
Band. Rob McNurlin, Dianne Donahoe, Dave
Sizemore and the Festival band, the Boys
from Middle Creek, and a Kentucky
Opry quartet. Georgia Muncey will
dance the Virginia Reel and Fred James
will present a reading from 'The Night
the Animals Talked."
Tradition says that on Old Christmas
Eve. the animals sink to their knees,
tum their heads in the direction of
Bethlehem and talk. Bees are also supposed to hum the melody of an old
carol and flowers bloom all during the night.
Jenny Wtley State Park will host the Epiphany celebration, which begins at 2 p.m. Sunday. The park
will provide free refreshments of hot tea and cookies.

sition to Britain's calendar reform, according to
Chester Raymond Young in his "The Observance of
Old Christmas in Southern Appalachia."
In 1752. England switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, which had been used
by the Roman Catholic controlled countries for 170
years. The switch meant an
adjustment in loss of days. The
difference between the Julian and the
Gregorian at the time of England's calendar was eleven days. The days of
September 3-13 were omitted from the 1752
calendar year. Christmas then came 11 days earlier
in the season and that angered some residents of
England.
Some individuals began celebrating Old
Christmas on January 5 but, in 1801, the
date was celebrated on January 6. After
leap year in 1900, Old Christmas fell on
January 7 and will continue to
occur on January 7 through
the year 2,000, Young says.
In the nineteenth century,
Old Christmas made the transition from England to North
America and became a part of
the Southern Appalachian tradition. When Epiphany came to
the western world, it focused on
the visit of the Magi to the baby
Jesus. Many folk tales evolve around the Old
Christmas celebration of Christ's birth. In Floyd
County, those tales will be kept alive through the
annual Old Christmas celebration at Jenny Wiley
State Park.

Awhile
Poperri
by Scott Perry
Wonder why it is that some of us make
a tradition of starting out the new year
feeling like Death eating a cracker?
You'd think that it would be more
appropriate to wake up New Year's Day
all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, raring
to go.
Instead, we're more apt to wake up
from a night of reveling to the sounds of
plop, plop, fizz, fizz and a reflection in
the mirror that would stop a clock.
What's so great about a new year, anyway?
It comes at the worst time... in the
dead of winter, just a week · after
Christmas, when you're dead tired and
dead broke.
The only time we can imagine that
might be more miserable for celebration
is April 15, when the tax man comes
around to remind you just how much it
costs to live in the land of the free.
The New Year's holiday is. however,
one of the very few occasions that has
neither ethnic, religious nor patriotic
associations, meaning it is generally
standard worldwide...except in some far
eastern countries, which designate their
calendar changes according to the characteristics of certain animals.
In China, for example, this is the Year
of the Wombat or something. which
explains why that country is having such
· a difficult time joining the global economic community.
No leading member of the world's
financial market will cash any Chinese
checks as long as they're dated like,
"January 1, Year of the Blowfish."
How are they supposed to know if
that's not a post-date or something?
Anyway, we think we should follow
the lead of those countries in the southem hemisphere, who celebrate New
Year's Day in the middle of the summer.
Why should we let a little thing like
the Earth's orbit around the sun have so
much influence on our daily lives, anyhow?
If the trees were in bloom, the sun was
shining and the bird's were chirping,
maybe New Year•s Day wouldn't be so
depressing.
Then we could really do some celebrating and feel even lousier the day
after.

to Butch that he had to eat the food I was buying for
him until I could find his brand.
"I know it's probably hard for you to understand
this, Butch, but Jimmie thinks you're just a dog.
Promise me you'll try to eat some of the food in your
dish so he won't think I'm being wasteful, okay?"
At the store, I ran down the dog food aisle and
noticed there was still no Kibbles and Cheezy Chews
on the shelf, so I decided to take my dilemma to the
sales clerk.
"Butch is out of dog food," I cried. "Yesterday I
had to feed him pizza for lunch."
"What's he going to eat today?'' she asked.
"More than likely a hamburger and fries if I can't
find his brand. Why?"
"No reason," she shrugged. "I was just trying to
decide where I wanted to eat lunch, and now I know.
Can you pick me up in an hour?"
I was humiliated as the shoppers behind me began
to laugh. Had they forgotten about cats being applaud·
ed for their finicky eating habits? Didn't they care that

absolutely loathed "A Star Is Born" with Barl)ra
Streisand taking the reins from Judy Garland who herself took them from Janet Gaynor. Somehow, "mod·
emizing" a classic seems almost sacrilegious to me.
In the case of "Father of the Bride," I have to admit
that I enjoyed the remake and said so in this space.
Alas and alack. this next installment, a remalce of
••father's Little Dividend," falls flat and proves my
point.
Once again, Steve Martin is back as the beleaguered George Banks. Diane Keaton returns as Nina
and Kimberly Williams reprises the Elizabeth Taylor
role as Annie, George and Nina's daughter. Fresh fro~
her honeymoon, Annie announces that she's expecting
a baby, much to Dad's consternation. After all, he's
only just come to grips with all the bills from the wedding. To add insult to injury, Nina announces that she,
too, is expecting. Thus, Dad is about to be a dad again
and a grandfather at the same time.
Martin Short makes a return appearance as the gay
caterer/decorator Franck. This time. he's brought in to
take care of Annie's baby shower. Somehow, though,
he gets so involved with the family that he ultimately
winds up designing the nursery and is with the entire
family in the delivery room. (Naturally, both Annie
and Nina go into labor at the same time.)
There are some funny moments in the movie. After
all, with the talents of Martin and Keaton, there have
to be. However, the script itself is weak and full of ""
holes. Wait for this to come out on Vtdeo. It's not
worth the trip to the theater.

Better Sleep Tips
For Women
(NAPS)-When
it
comes to the role of hormones in getting a good
night's
sleep,
many
women need a wake-up
call.
A nationwide survey
of 500 women conducted
for the Better Sleep
Counci I showed that
while 74 percent of
women know that their
hormones can affect their
mood, just 44 percent of
those surveyed know that
they can also affect their
sleep.
The survey sounds an
alarm: women's lack of
knowledge about their
bodies has more serious
implications than losing
an occasional night's
sleep. It puts them at
great risk for severe
sleep-deprivation.
In
fact, 78 percent of the
female population is in
the at-risk age range for
hormonal-affected sleep.
This means millions of
women may suffer the
consequences of sleep
deprivatron, including
daytime drowsiness and
impaired concentration
and judgement.
Here arc some tips
from the Better Sleep
Council that will help
ensure that you get the
sleep you need:
Menstr ual/PMS
Resist sugar cravings.
After caus1ng an initral
energy boost, the sugar
"high" plunges, creating
an even greater leehng of
fatigue.
Try
eating
breads, pasta or ricecomplex carbohydrates

more alert.

sleeping on their side
relieves physical discomfort.
Menopause/
Hot Oashes
Practice slow. tlecp

Unwind early 111 the

at least an hour before
going to bed.

Winter Health
Watch
(NAPS)-The dreaded
winter months arc upon us
and that means colds, the
flu and dry. chapped skin.
While you could try
your grandmother'~ home
remedy to fend off winter
ailments. there are more
conventional, preventive
measures you can follow.
One of the easiest and
most effective deterrents
to colds and the flu is
your hands,
washing
which helps eliminate
genns and bactena that
are easily picked up every
day.
Did you know'?
Using a broad-spectrum
anti-bacterial o;;oap, lake

is more effectiYC than regular soap and k11ls the
genns and bacteria th·
can cause pneumonia,
strep throat, diarrhea and
other illnesses.
Antibacterial
Lever
2000 will also help keep
these genns and bactena
from coming back for up
to 12 hours.
Other helpful hints to
maintam your health dur
ing the winter months:
I) Get plenty of rest m
strengthen your immune
system.
2) Don't go out m the

damp skin, and
3) Wear layers of clothing to trap your body heat.

Speaking of and for Floyd CbuM}
. Board offers
3.5-year deal
to Balentine
•
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
The search for a new Floyd
County school superintendent is
over.
On Tuesday, school board
members voted to hire John L.
Balentine of Athens, Georgia, to be
the d1strict'l> next superintendent.
After an eight-minute closed
session. board members Ray
Bracken, Eddie Patton and Phyllis
Honshell agreed to offer Balentine
a three-and-a-half year contract.
Board members Brent Clark and
Ray Wilcox were absent from
Tuesday's special meeting.
Balentine's salary was set at
$75,000 per year and he will also
receive a fringe benefit package.
The board will contribute toward
the cost of Balentine's relocation.
Chairman Brackett said Ralen-
Dr. John Balentine
tine's background"has been extensively investigated .
"After short deliberations and
an exhaustive interview process.
the board has come to the decision
and the chairman nominates John
L. Balentine of Athens, Georgia.
as the next superintendent,''
Brackett said.
After the meeting, all three
board members said repons of
Balentine's integrity and his love
of children made them sure he was
the man for the job.
"I think we're getting a marJ the
children, the citizens and the tax·
payers of Floyd County can be
proud to call their superintendent,"
Patton said. "The man loves children and he went to a different
school every day to lunch when he
was in Georgia. He is a man who
can talk to every strata of society.
He is a sharecropper's son and I
think he has a lot in common with
the people here."
''As for local people." Patton
added, "we have a lot of talented
people who work in Floyd County
and one day I think one will be superintendent. But, I think we needed to go outside the system and get
someone unconnected."
Honshell said it was Balentine's
love of children that helped her decide he was right for the superintendent's job.
"In the interview process, when
he was asked about children, his
eyes wa1ered over and he said, 'I

Blizzard may be
blamed for death
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
"'
A severe winter storm that
pounded Floyd County over the
weekend could be blamed for the
death of a 32-year-old McDowell
Sunday.
Kerm1t Chester Newsome died
Sunday afternoon after hours of
shoveling snow.
Newsome, who was a physical
therapiSt and a deputy sheriff, was
found dead in his bed by h1s wtfe,
Glenda, Chuck Hall, sheriff's department office manager said Tuesday.
Preliminary autopsy results
show that Newsome had a heart
condition and he was apparently
unaware that it ex.isted, Sandy Nelson, wife of Coroner Roger Nelson, said Tuesday. Newsome's
body was sent to Frankfort for an
autopsy Monday.
:A major winter stonn dumped
nearly two-feet of snow in the
county from Friday night until
Monday morning. Hall sa1d Newsome had been clearing snow
around his home before he died.
Newsome's survivors include
his wife and two daughters, Crystal
Dawn Newsome and Cirinna
Stumbo.
Funeral services will be held
Thursday at noon at the Little Rosa
Old Regular Baptist Church at McDowell. Burial will be made in the
Newsome Cemetery at Craynor.

houseboat at Dewey Lake. Goble's
wife, Letha Mae, went to join her
husband Wednesday evening and
could not find him.
Members of the Floyd County
Emergency and Rescue Squad
searched the area of the lake surrounding Goble's boat on Friday
night and Saturday before the
search was suspended due to the
severe winter storm .
Rescue squad members re-
ceived a call Monday afternoon
from park rangers saying that
something was spotted in the water
that needed to be checked out.
Goble's wife and his mother,
Gladys. had been at the boat and
observed an object just under the
surface of the ice-covered lake.
Whtle rescue squad members
launched their boat. Letha Goble
said she was to meet her husband
at the houseboat Wednesday night
and the two intended to spend the
night. She said when she arrived,
her husband was gone but that the
lights and heater were on.
Rescue squad volunteers found
that the object was a dark brown
plast1c cover.
''He was wearing a dark jacket
that night." Letha Newsome said.

Floyd Countians are continuing
to dig out from the major winter
storm that hit the area over the

all over again this Friday.
Jackson weather officials are
keeping an eye on a storm that
could cause another "snow event"

Perry said that the system "ill

when it heads north. He said that
the northeastern states could be in

The stonn is likely to produce a
"wetter" snow than lhe front that

eased the burden of deahng w1th

weather.
DISASTER AND
E!\1ERGENCY
SERVICES
County DES director Lon May
has been coordinating response
efforts between county and state
agencies since the stonn began and
the results have been that more
emergency service prov1ders have
been included in answering the
needs of citizens.
For example, when a major
snow stonn hit in 1993. virtually all
the emergency calls went through
the Floyd County Sheriff's Office,
which attempted to handle most of
the requests for fuel, food and medical transportation.
This year, most calls are being
made to the DES office and May
has distributed those requests to
other agencies.
"I've tried to refer all non-essential calls to local fire departments,"
May said. "When other agencies
are not coYered up. we switch back
to let the fire departments take a
break."
One of the major problems in
the county has been snow removal,
May said. When the Prestonsburg
National Guard Armory was downsized last year, that left the local
armory with virtually no snow
removal equipment or Humvees,
jeep-like vehicles, to assist in emergency situations.
"In the county, a couple of
graders have been broken down and
we've had no help with snow
removal," May said.
The good side to the situation,
May said, is that he has discoYered
local resources to call on to help
those in need.
' 'Coal companies have been
helping with scraping roads and the
CAP (Community Action Program)
office is helping provide emergency heating," May said.
One thing citizens can do is look
out for each other, May said.
"People need to check with the1r
neighbors," May said. "They need
to help their neighbors with food
and pitch in and work together.
People need to first check with their
neighbors and then the local fire
departments."
Thousands of calls have been
received in the DES office and May
commended local dispatchers, r~cue squad and fire department volunteers for their efforts .

FLOYD COUNTY
EMERGENCY AND
RESCUE SQUAD
Aoyd County rescue squad volunteers have been on the job since
Friday night searching for a man
reported missing from the Jenny
Wiley boat dock and had to tum
their attention Saturday to dealing
With a maJor winter stonn.
Rescue squad personnel have
been the main providers of emergency medical transportauon and
medicine deliveries since Saturday.
Volunteers were on the JOb around
the clock and many worked for
days at a time on limited or no
sleep. Dialys1s patients were transported to treatment and returned to
their homes by rescue squad volunteers 1n Left and Right Beavers.
Local hospitals and nursing homes
benefited by the volunteers' efforts.
Some transported nurses and work·
ers to and from their jobs.
Left Beaver Rescue Squad
members perfonned much of the
same type of services and delivered
medicines to those unable to travel.
Tired and weary volunteers kept
up the grueling pace while other
members tried to grab to few hours
sleep. Mountain Manor Nursing
Home cooks Christina Hite and
Ann Ousley kept Aoyd County
squacl members fed with hot meals
each day. Hite said the two had
been at work since Saturday and
hoped to get home on Tuesday.
FLOYD COUNTY SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT
' Having been through it before,
sheriff's deputies knew the routine
when the stonn hit Friday. Deputies
were out patrolling roadways most
evenings looking for stranded
motorists and offering services to
those m need.
Deputies Greg Clark and Linzie
Hunt responded to the home of
Willie and Sophie Sammons at
Bucks Branch on Sunday and discovered the elderly brother and sister were out of coal. The Sammons'
had coal, but were unable to get any
into their home. Three buckets of
the fuel were filled up and carried
to their home. Wilhe Sammons is
blind and his sister, Soph1e, could
not make the long trip to the coal
pile for the fuel. A friend of the couple who usually made sure they had
coal in the home reported that they
were unable to check on them.
Also, sheriff's dispatcher Tim
Stephens worked around the clock
Saturday and Sunday because fcllow workers were unable to come
to work. Stephens said Sunday that
hundreds of calls had been made to
the sheriff's office.
National Guardsmen were actiJ
vated Sunday in Floyd Cour;tty al)d
assisted with the delivery of medicine and transporting dialysis
patients to rural parts of the county.
FLOYD COUNTY
GOVERNMENT
Judge-Executive Ben Hale
declared a state of emergency in
Aoyd County on Sunday morning.
That emergency declaration will
make Floyd County eligible to
receive disaster assistance funds to
.
help defray the cost of dealing with
stonn.
The breakdown of two of the
county's road graders has made 1t
d1fficult to quickly clear some of
the rural roads in the county, Hale
said. Also, because it took the snow
t\\o days to accumulate to nearly
two feet in the county, roads
became snow covered shortly after
being graded, Hale said.
"At times we were spinning our
wheels," Hale said. "We knew it
was coming, but it's difficult when
it dumps four to five mches in an
hour. We've been working around
the clock to clear the roads and
there is more work to be done.
We're doing everything we can."
Hale explained that two of the
county's five graders are out of service and that has hampered snow
removal on county roads.
The judgc·executive commended the sheriff's department, rescue
squads and fire departments for the
emergency services provided during the stonn .
"It's been a community effort,"
Hale said.
Hale added that private coal
companies, individuals and utility
companies have also contributed
their equipment and time to help
clearing roadways.

"I'm proud we have a new superintendent who brings a great deal of
leadersh•p capability. There are
two things people stressed about
him: he is man of integrity and he
loves children."
Balentine is to be on the job
today (Wednesday) and interim
superintendent Ed Allen is to assist
in the transition until Friday.
"There's light at the end of the'
tunnel," the judge·executive said.

Fighting fire with snow
by Alisa Goodwill
Staff Writer
A Wayland home was saved
from being completely destroyed
by fire early Tuesday morning
thanks to the Wayland police chief,
authorities said.
Wayland fire captain Terry Hill
said thanks to police chief David
Gray, a home on Railroad Lane
only received minor damage. Gray
lives next door to the family.
"David got the family out," Hill
said. "He also threw snow and
water on the fire to put it out."
The home, occupied by Vicki
Huff and ber two children, caught
fire Tuesday at 1:15 a.m. when a
floor furnace got so hot it set the
wallpaper on fire, Hill added.
To add to the problems, the fire

"I anticipate the snowplow will be
The city of Prestonsburg has
been working around the clock
since Saturday morning to clear the
streets of snow. Prestonsburg
Mayor Jerry Fannin said Tuesday
afternoon.
The first priority Saturday was
salting the roads, Fannin said.
The Prestonsburg Public Works
Department has also been clearing
streets, parking lots and sidewalks.
..
"We only have one backhoe, one
truck with a scraper and a salt
spreader," Fannin said. "We put
blades on two 4-wheelers and the
rest is done by shovel.•·
"The city utilities have donated
manpower and equipment to
increase the coverage area," he
added.
The street priorities include
hills, intersections, areas near nurs
ing homes and other medical emergency areas. For example, if a resident needs medical attention on a
daily basis, like using a dialysis
machine, that street becomes a pri• ority.
''The side streets we will get to
as we can," Fannin said. "With limited equipment and the large
amount of snow, it 1s hard to clear it
all overnight."
Another problem with snow
removal is that the clutch in the
snowplow has gone out, public
works supervisor Tom Harris said.
"This is a very valuable piece of
equipment and 1 used it until it just
fixed by th1s everung (Thesday)."
"It has helped us a lot that merchants and residents have been
shoveling their own sidewalks. We
started with Court Street and
branched out from there, trying to
make a path from the side streets to
the mam arteries," Harris added.
The new city municipal parking
lot and the other parking lots are
also a priority for the city, Harris
said. However, the old municipal
lot is now owned by the county and
is their responsibility, he added.
The public works department is
not the only department chipping in
during this storm.
The
Prestonsburg
Fire
Department has donated manpower
and personal equipment for snow
removal and has helped transport
workers to and from work.
The police department has been
transporting residents in emergenCies and helping the senior citizens
deliver Meals on Wheels.
Fannin said Music Carter
Hughes donated two four-wheel
drive vehicles to use for emergency
purposes during the snow storm.
Garbage pickup in the city has
been delayed by the storm this
week, but will resume on the regular
schedule
next
week.
Commercial garbage will be picked
up as needed.
"Part of the problem, is getting
the trucks through the snow on the
back streets and the other problem
is getting to the landfill," Fannin
said.
The recycling program has also
been shut down this week and will
resume on the regular schedule next
week.
"Overall I feel like we have
done about the same amount of
snow removal as we have done in
past storms because of the equipment," Fannin said. "If the sun
keeps melting the snow and we
don't have any freezing weather we
should have everything cleared by
the end of the week."
Water meeting
postponed
The meeting scheduled for
Salyers Branch and Wilson Creek
residents interested in getting
water to their homes has been postponed.
Set for January 11 at Allen
Central High School, the meeting
will be rescheduled for a later date.

A lasting tribute
by Scott Perry
Don't know what it is about
this place, but it seems like the
worst always brings out the best
in us.
Perhaps it's that we're so
accustomed to the vagaries of
nature that we've attained some
sort of instinct that brings us
together during times when conditions dictate just the opposite.
These people who put the
well-being of others above their
own are special, though,
because most of them are volunteers.
These members of fire departments, rescue squads and even
the National Guard weren't out
in last weekend's blizzard for
money or for fame. They were
out there helping those in need
because that's what they do.
Until such times as these, we
tend to take them for granted
and even during crises we often
expect them to be there, deliver-
ing food and medicine or assisting where assistance is required.
We have no particular right to
expect any of this.
We can expect it, though,
because these volunteers care
enough about us to put our families above their own.
How do we thank them
enough?
We can't.
Heck, we don't even know all
of their names.
We've erected monuments to
lesser heroes, though.
Perhaps we should commission some special tribute, then,
to these special people as a
reminder to us all that they are
the real reasons why this is a real
special place to live.
When this snow melts, they'll
go back to being just your neighbors again.
But that's whb they were all
along.
Strange that we hardly
noticed them before.
Coffee
This may not come as a great
surprise to you, but it snowed last
weekend.
Really.
It snowed so much that just about
everybody got a few extra days off
to spend enjoying the company of
their fam ilies, which can be
fun ... for the first couple of hours or
so.
After cabin fever sets in, though,
things tend to get a bit touchy.
And weird.
The clocks start ticking too
loud...even the digital ones ... that
Monopoly game goes full contact,
and even the most stable personality can crack under the pressure.
Fortunately, for our sanity's sake,
we're in one of those professions
where the show must go on,
despite Ma Nature's interference.
We'll get the paper out, on time,
just like always.
You may have to come and get it,
though .
Bring us some hot chocolate, if
you do.
Have to commend the state and
county road crews for doing a pretty good job keeping the main roads
passable during and after the
weekend blizzard .
Depending on whose yardstick
you used for measuring, the total
snowfall was between 20 inches
and butt deep to a tall Indian, but
highway workers kept things about
as manageable as anyone could
expect.
That's saying something.
We tip our toboggans to them .

obtaining of grant
Editor:
As most readers know, the City
of Prestonsburg was recently
awarded another $200,000 grant for
the restoration of the Samuel May
House. As a result, we now have a
grand total of $400,000 available
for that purpose. The city attorney
is presently negotiating the contract
with the architect, Joe Argabrite of
Louisville. When an agreement is
reached on his fee, he will let the
bids for phase one of the restoration.

Break
This debate over the use of phonics ...instead of old-fashioned
spelling ... to teach our kids to read
is missing one important point.
We don't all pronounce every
word alike.
Take the word "fire," for instance.
Up north that's "fyer."
Down here it's "far."
Then "far" is "fur," as opposed to
"fer," which means "for."
See the problem?
If you spell a word correctly,
though, it doesn't matter how you
pronounce it.
So, if yer hooked on phonics, hit's
time you kicked the habit.
Spell it like it is.
The Guv is catching some heat
over his suggestion that an
increase in the return of coal severance taxes to coal counties may
have to be delayed ... for at least a
year... and we're among those who
hope that tune will change.
But, to keep the record straight, •
we should remind Patton's critics
that both he and Larry forgy
promised during their campaigns
to increase the return of coal taxes
by the end of their terms, not by the
end of their first legislative session.
With that correction made, let's
urge Patton and the General
Assembly to find a way to make the
tax return happen sooner than
later.
Every day of delay puts our ~
region's economic future deeper in
the hole.

Kentucky Power energy efficiency program gets state approval
Kentucky Power Company
recently received approval from
Kentucky's
Public
Scrvtce
Commission to 1mplement demand·
side management programs for the
company's residential customers.
Demand-side management or
DSM. provides methods for
Kentucky Power customers to
• reduce energy needs through the
use of energy-efficient technology
or weatherization programs. The
plan, developed jointly by
Kentucky Power and groups representing residential customers, was
fi led with the state PSC in
September.
Several of the programs tncluded
in the recommendation will help
residential customers identify ways
to become more energy efficient.
Additional programs will provide
financial incentives to assist the
• c ustomers who make the improvements.
"We began working with our
customers in November 1994 to
develop this plan," said Don Music,
Kentucky Power's demand-side
management supervisor. "After
months of work, we' re excited to be
ready for implementation. We will
begin offering some of these programs in January."
Programs will be funded by a
surcharge, effective January-55
• cents per l ,000 kilowatt hours
(KwH) used-patd by all residential customers in Kentucky Power's
service territory. Most residential
customers will see a monthly
increase of less than $1.
For instance. the average
Kentucky Power customer without
electric space heating will pay a
monthly surcharge of 53 cents
while the average customer with
electric space heating will pay a
monthly usage surcharge of 91
cents. 11us is based on 1995 yearto-date records that show monthly
averages of 943 KwH for customers
without electric space heating and
1.604 KwH for customers with
electric space heating.
"Customers who participate in
this program will likely reduce electricity use enough to see a decrease
in their electric bill, even with the
surcharge included," Music said.
"Some of the programs are available now. Some arc still in the
development stage."
Two programs for residential
customers are available immediately. They include:
High Effictency Heat PumpKentucky Power will offer a financial incentive to heating and air
conditioning dealers to encourage
installation of high-efficiency heat
pumps for replacement of less efficient electric heating systems.
High Efficiency Heat Pump
(Mobile Home)-lncentives will
encourage customers to replace
existing electric central furnaces
with high-efficiency heat pump
systems. Participants also must
have an air conditioning system or
plan to install one.
Available in late January will be
the Targeted Energy Fitness program. It will "piggyback" o n
resources of not-for-profit agencies
that provide weatherization services
to low-income households. Energy
audits and consultations are included. The program can also include
installation of extensive weather-
ization and energy conservation
mea!>ures for electric space heating
and water heating.
Three other programs are currently being developed and should
be available mid-year. They are:
Energy Fitness ProgramCustomers who use electricity for
home and water heating will
receive, at no cost, an energy audit
and, where applicable, have
installed a variety of energy saving
measures, such as energy saving
showerheads or water heater wraps.
Compact Fluorescent BulbFinancial incentives will be offered
to encourage customers to replace
incandescent bulbs with energyefficient compact fluorescent bulbs.
Mobile
Home
New
Construction-Kentucky Power
will study the market for new
mobile homes in its service territory. determine the energy implications of current design and installation practices and develop educational programs to boost the market
demand for energy-efficient mobile
homes.
Kentucky Power 's DSM program was developed under provisions of a Kentucky law passed in
1994. The law, KRS 278.285,
encourages utilities to collaborate
with customer groups to create a
DSM proposal, then file for
approval from the PSC to recover
costs of implementing the program.
Kentucky Power and groups
representing residential customers
formed
a
collaborative
in
November 1994. Founding members representing the residential
class were Kentuckians for the

The Floyd County Times
A Look At Sports :
'96 Blizzard
stalls county
sports scene
For all you snow and cold
weather lovers, you have had
your day. I hope you enjoyed it.
We measured 21 inches where I
lived and that is enough to last
me for a while.
The snowy weather put a stop
to everything, including the
sports
scene.
Severa 1 games r.;:-;::::::::==:=J
will have to be
rescheduled,
including some
important conference games.
With
the
amount of snow
we received I'm.....,_____,
sure that other games will have to
be called off this week and that
may include the Rax!Pikeville
College Junior High Tournament
at Pikeville College gym.
The Class A girls' regional
tournament set for South Floyd
will begin Wednesday, January
17 and run through the 20th.
Allen Central will be looking for
its fourth straight regional title.
They have won it three of the
four years it has been played.
Elkhorn City won the tournament
in its inaugural season.
Before long we will be looking
at the 58th District basketball
tournament to be held at Allen
Central this year. Time does not
stand still, even for a snow storm.
The district tournament is as
wide open this year as any I have
seen since I came to the Times in
'89.
The team that is playing the
best basketball come February
will have an excellent chance of
taking home a district crown.
While not many conference
games have been played since the
season started, it is hard to determine how the seeding will go this
year.
It's still up in the air as to how
they will handle the tournament
pairings this year. Some are saying we will still seed, the way we
always have done, while others
are saying this year's tournament
pairings will be determined by
the draw. Let's hope not.
You never want your number
one and two teams playing the
first round of the tournament.
You want them seeded in opposite brackets.
The way it stands now, it is a
2-2 vote on the matter and
according to the rules, the format
cannot be changed without a
majority vote. But this is Floyd
County and we seem not to do
things by the rules.
Allen
Central
and
Prestonsburg favor the seeding
process while Betsy Layne and
South Floyd have indicated they
want to draw. However, both
boys' coach Junior Newsome and
girls' head coach Bill Newsome
favor the seeding process, but
principal Don Daniels, who has
the vote, votes to draw. Al
Osborne, principal at South
Floyd, has voted to draw.
This year, whether we seed or
draw doesn't matter, but for this
year only, because of the parity in
the county this season. There is
not a clear cut number one, or
number two team.
On a given night either of the
four teams (boys and girls) could
knock off one another.

inside to lead the fourth-quarter
assault. Freshman Joe Campbell,
who finished with nine points
coming back from a bad ankle
sprain, was \Cry impress1ve for
Prestonsburg. Campbell scored
four points in the final period.
Prestonsburg Jed I 0-6 after
the first quarter in the low-scoring affair. J.P. Skeens, who finished with four points, and Brett
James each hit three-point baskets in the period. Jarvis scored
four points in the first.

Crockett, Caudill :
Lady
Raiders
scare
foes, but
fall twice
Coach Henry Webb's South
Floyd Lady Raiders gave two of the
top 15th Regional teams a scare last
week in high school basketball. The
Lady Raiders took Millard to the
wire and made the Lady Mustangs
win it at the free throw line before
falling 51-45 to the undefeated
Lady Mustangs.
Against 58th D1strict powerhouse Betsy Layne, the Lady
Raiders made a gallant comeback,
after falling behind 21 points, and
ran out of steam, dropping a 60-52
decision to coach Bill Newsome's
Lady Cats.
South Floyd has shown tremendous improvement over the first
part of the season and is not to be
taken lightly as in the past.
Against Millard, it was the twin
towers of the Lady Mustangs who
proved too much for South Floyd.
Brittany and Whiuany Bartley
combined for 35 points to lead
Millard to a six-point win at home.
Brittany Bartley scored 19 points
and Whittany Bartley added 16.
Brittany Bartley hit six free
throws down the stretch for Millard
in securing the victory. Valerie
Little hit two three-pointers for
coach Cindy Adkins' team and had
a trey in the fourth period.
The two teams played to a 33 tie
after three periods. Chrissy Tackett,
who finished with 13 points to lead
South Floyd, scored a three-pointer
and another field goal in the third
period tbat tied the game at 33.
Misty Berger, a freshman, hit a trey
and Crystal Tackett netted four
points in the period.
The two teams battled on even
tenns through the first half. Millard
led 7-6 at the first stop and it was a
19-19 game at the half. Whittany
Barley had eight points in the second quarter for Millard to keep her
team close. Chrissy Tackett hit her
first three-pointer in the second
quarter in scoring four points. Poor
free throw shooting on the part of
South Floyd was costly in the period. They made only three of seven
shots.
Compton led South Floyd's
scoring with II points. Chti~sy
Tackett added 13 while Crystal
Tackett and Berger netted six each.
Tina Newman scored five with
Melissa Tackett and Jenny Meade
totaling two jJOinlS each.
BETSY LAYNE SURVIVES
Against Betsy Layne, Tiffany
Compton came to the forefront, but
a little too late as she scored 14 of
her 28 points in the final quarter to
almost lead a South Floyd comeback.

A Look at Sports -(Continued from page 8A)
ence game played. Betsy Layne's Lady Cats are 2-0 with
wins over Prestonsburg and South Floyd. The Allen
Central Lady Rebels are 1-0 with a win over South Floyd.
In neither of the division, boys' or girls', has anyone
emerged as a dominate team as in the past. Prestonsburg
continues to struggle big time ( 1-8), but everyone knows
the Blackcats could turn things around quickly and come
district tournament time, be playing their best basketball.
What really matters, if they stay with the seeding
rocess, is how a team performs against a conference foe.
If the seeding process is not continued, then it will not
matter if county teams face each other or not, they don't
count in conference play. Therefore, if a cancellation
occurs, it is not necessary that Betsy Layne make up a
game with Prestonsburg. It will not have a bearing on the
pairings anyway.
It would be hard to pick a strong contender for a regional crown from our Floyd County teams. I think we have
teams that have the potential to become strong contenders.
But when you look at the way we have played against
some of the top regional teams so far, you have to wonder
what chance we might have.
Magoffin County is certainly a regional contender. We
haven't beaten them yet. Pike Central is not that strong
this season, but we have faltered against the Hawks.
Elkhorn City is another ballclub that causes Floyd teams
problems.
Paintsville is still the favorite to win the 15th Regional
this year, but if their bench doesn't contribute more in the
next two months, there are teams out in the 15th Region
that can knock them off.
Belfry has been a disappointment so far in the season.
But, again, we have two months to get ready for tournament play and coach Raymond Justice could have his
Pirates making the opposition walk the plank come tournament time.
I like the Lady Pirates of Belfry as a favorite to win the
girls' 15th Region. They are big, quick, can shoot the ball,
and rebound very well. Coach Cindy Stewart has a fine
ballclub, but she still needs to remember the '94 regional.
Belfry, Pike County Central, Paintsville, Millard and
Johnson Central are my top five girls' teams in the region
as of this date.
Paintsville, Magoffin County, Pikeville, Belfry and
Elkhorn City make up my top five boys' team.
OTHER SPORTS STUFF••••
Pike Central's Jamie Hamilton, the Hawks leading scorer, will be profiled on WPRG-TV, Channel 5, this week.
Be sure to take this one in.
Eight Floyd County grade school teams will participate
in the Rax Junior High basketball tournament this week.
How the schedule will be changed because of the snow
storm is not known at this time.
Watch out for those South Floyd Lady Raiders. They are
starting to cause teams concern. Coach Henry Webb's
team made it close in losses to Allen Central, Millard and
Betsy Layne.
Until Friday, good sports everyone and be good sports!

Crisp scores 38, but Allen
falls to Betsy Layne, 94-75
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
The Allen Eagles have to be
tired of facing Betsy Layne in
grade school basketball. The last
time the two teams faced each
other, Betsy Layne passed the
century mark in points.
Last week they were six
points shy of doing it again in a
94-75 win over the Allen Eagles.
But it was Allen's Seth Crisp
who stole the show by scoring a
career-h1gh 38 points. Crisp had
13 points in the second period,
eight 1n the third and 13 in the
fourth. He scored four points in
the first quarter.

scored in double figures for the
Bobcats. Josh Kidd buried three
three-point baskets in scoring 19
points. Chase Gibson. a seventh

Howell netted t I and Shannon
Williams finished with ten.
Eddie Tibbs came off the bench
and scored eight points.
Alvin Reed had 14 points for
Allen as the only other doublefigure scorer. Dustin Blanton
scored nine and Randy Akers
finished with five.
Betsy Layne Jed 13-8 after the
first period with Tibbs and

as Betsy Layne scored 30 sec

at the half.
Allen scored 24 points in the
second stanza. Crisp hit a three
pointer and had six of ten free

Boy, Howdy! Thanks to 01' Tom Edison, we now know what to say
The phone rang the other night and after a littic voice from the kllchcn yelled, "Get that. It's
not for me:' I answered it. But tnstead of the
usual ''hello," for some unknown reason. I said
"Howdy."
As soon as u came out, I realized what I'd
done, but of course. it was too late to correct it.
Fortunately twas a fncnd on the other end
and he merely ans"cred "Howdy" back.
When I hung up, Wilma, who had heard my
slip-of-the-tongue greeting, jumped my case pretty good.
"Boy," she said. "you'd have really been
embarrassed if it'd been somebody important.''
Not that our friends arc not important. but I
knew what she meant. and J knew she was right.
"Howdy" is what Roy Rogers or Tex Ritter
would have said to the new school mann in the
Saturday matmces when I was a kid. It is not an
appropriatc greetmg to use on the telephone.
But it might have been, had it not been for
Thoma<; A. Edison.
That's right, the same man who gave us the
light bulb, the motion picture machine, the
phonograph, and dozen~ of other little things that
we now take for granted but have made our ltves
bencr. also invented the word. "hello."
According to an article in The New York
Time!>, when the
telephone began
to be used on a
regular basis,
along around the
1870s, there was a
Clyde Pack
bit of confusion.
and even more
discussion, as to what folks ought to say when
they answered it
There were tons of suggestions and even
Alexander Graham Bell, the guy who is credited
with invenung lhe phone in the first place. suggested we say ''ahoy," like they do in the Navy.
"Ahoy'' didn't catch on, however, and for a long
ttme, people apparently just said whatever came

to mind whenever it rang and they picked it up.
Like. ''Who's there?" or "Whadda ya want?" or
something really dumb, like "Howdy."
Then, in 1877, Edison, who was probably on a
break from one of his other inventions, suggested
that people s1mply sa) "hello.'' For some reason.
telephone company operators started using it and
the word soon became a common greeting, even
out on the street.
So. according to lhc Times story, ''hello'' wasn't
even a word before lhe phonc.; was mvented.
"Hallo" was a word which was the call used by
fox hunters when they wanted to urge their dogs in
the chase. ''Hilla," "hillo," and "halloa" were all
words which were used to hail from a distance.
And, the Bnt1sh used "hullo," which was an exclamation of surpnse, as in "Hullo, there young lady.
Is that a wart on your nose, or what?"
But, there was no "hc.:llo."
Anyway, from now on, when the phone rings,
I suppose we ought to thank Thomas A. for
inventing a way for us to answer it.

The Monkey Trial, part II
Missionaries service hiking trails

"We talk to people about the Heavenly Father's
plan and purpose of life, and how families can be
together forever," said Burgon, the oldest child of
a family of seven.
Snow flakes fell gently on the faces of three
men as they wielded their picks and shovels to
chip at the frolen ground and move rocks
on Moss Ridge Trail at Jenny Wiley State
Park.
Temperatures were below freezing but
the men wiped sweat from their brow.
Their camaraderie and their love of their
labor warmed their hearts and kept at bay
the chill winds of the cold day in
December.
When park ranger Ron Vanover and
unteers Rod Sorenson of Idaho and
Brandon Burgan of Utah completed their
work for the day, they discovered that the
temperature was so cold Vanover's hair
had frozen.
At first, Vanover supervised the work of
Elder Sorenson and Elder Burgan, both 19
and missionaries of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints. Now, "they're
on their own."
For the past SIX weeks the missionaries
have put their community spirit into picks
and shovels and worked on the trails at
Jenny Wiley State Park.
Sorenson, who lives in Idaho Fa!Js, and
Burgon, of Pleasant Grove, Utah, are on a
mission in the Floyd County area. Their
mission is to spread the gospel of Jesus
_... Christ ~nd to share their labor in communi""' ty serv1ce.
They are participating in the church's
two-year missionary program. Burgan has
been in Floyd County for two months and
Sorenson for four months.
While here, they attend the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at Martin.
When they came here to do their missionary work, they looked around for a
community project where they could volunteer their time.
At church, they heard about Ron
Vanover's efforts to improve the trails at
the park through Walter Williamson, also a
tt park ranger. and Jason Spurlock, a former
employee of the park. Since both were
interested in working at the park, they
kalled Vanover and signed up for volunteer
work.
Their work on the trails include bas1c
cribbing. supporting the edge of a trail by
building it up with rocks or timber;

Newspapers on July 7, 1925, bannered that
William Jennings Bryan, Warlord of the State, was to
arrive that day in Dayton, Tennessee, for lhe trial of
John T. Scopes.
Bryan, born in Salem, Illinois in 1860, followed
his schooling with four years of Jaw practice in
Illinois before moving to Lincoln, Nebraska. Earning
an enviable record there he won two tenns to lhe U.S.
Congress and, at the age of 36, won the Democratic
nomination for president in 1896. He was also the
Democratic candidate for president m 1900 and 1908
and served as secretarY of state under President
Woodrow Wilson before resigning to devote more of
his time to religion. The Great Commoner, as he was
called, championed lhe causes of prohibition and
women's suffrage before attempting to have the theory of evolution banned from public schools and universities.
The famous Scopes Trial, often referred to as the
Monkey Trial, was preceded by the attempts of a fundamentalist organization of men and women to ban
schools and universities from teaching the evolution
theory. Williams Jennings Bryan was a strong advocate of the fundamentalist movement.
"If the school or university is supported in whole
or part by public funds, then the creation should be
taught from Genesis in the Bible," Bryan averred.
Knowing his chances were best in the south, he
appeared at southern state houses making revival
speeches and encouraged lawmakers to enact legislation against teaching the evolution theory. The
Kentucky legislature defeated the bill by one lone
vote. Moving further soulh into the so-called Bible
Belt. Tennessee and Mississippi passed the measure.
Bryan's group said they would carry the battle to
every state house in the Union.
Tennessee's Department of Education had
approved the Hunter's Biology text which included
the theory of evolution. Scopes used it in his Dayton,
Tennessee, classroom and suit was brought against
him for violating the new state law
Clarence Darrow won great fame as a defense
attorney early in th1s century.
"I was in New York not long after the arrest of Mr.
Scopes, and saw that Mr. Bryan had volunteered to go
to Dayton to ass1st m the persecution," Darrow
reflected later in life. "At once I wanted to go. My
object was to focus national attentiOn on Bryan's and
the fundamentalist's program. 1 knew that education
was in danger from rehg10us fanaticism.
''The proceedings bore little semblance to a court
case but I volunteered to go because the country
needed to be aroused. Two of my friends, Dudley
Field Malone and Arthur Garfield Hays went wilh
me. With Mr. Bryan volunteering on one side the
matter soon attracted the interest of the entire country
and the rest of the world."
It seemed that the whole town population of 1.800
and the large influx of visitors turned out to welcome
William Jennings Bryan to Dayton. A brass band m
full regalia played inspirational compositions as
Bryan arrived With much fanfare and was escorted
down roped-off streets to his temporary home where
he would rest before making a speech that evening
before the Businessmen's Assoc1ation One of the
greatest men in America was in Dayton and the town
rejoiced.
When Bryan arrived at his quarters he was pleased
to find green beans. tomatoes, radishes and other garden vegetables, which had been given to him by local
gardeners, a custom of the people of the area. After
.resting he readted his speech.
Judge Walter Godsey tntroduced Bryan that evening
with, "the people of Dayton voted for him three times
for president and we'll follow his banner again."
"Why should the size of the town be a matter of
importance in th1s case," Bryan later questioned.
''Christ was born in Bethlehem. Chnst's youth was
spent in Nazareth.
''If the Tennessee anti-evolution Ia" is held invalid
we wtll appeal 1t through all stage:- to Washmgton. If
the Supreme Court holds it unconstttutlonal it will be
appeal.ed to lhe American people If the minority controls the court we can change the court. If the
ConstitutiOn bars our way, we'll change the
Constitutlon. as an example, the Dred Scott dec1sion
was nullified by enacting the fifth amendment.
"Courts don't settle questions: The American people settle them. Either evoluuon or Chnstiamty must
go. It's a fight to the death."
Bryan's eloquence flamed at tts best in the humble

posters in the community announcing the meetings and the serving of
refreshments when the meetings are

MAKING TIME TO EXERCISE
If we all only have 24 hours in
the day, you may wonder hO\\' your
co-worker or neighbor who seems
to have as much to do as you finds
the time to exercise daily while you
~can barely get the minimum done.
Time management and makang exercise a priority are the answers. If
you truly make a commitment to
exercise, you will be able to find the
time. "I don't have the time" is
often JUSt an excuse when the underlying reason that someone docs
not exercise is that they have not yet
made 1t a pnority.

Senior citizens, this week in
your Sunshine Lines column, let's
• look at more programs that arc still
operating to benefit older Americans and the poor in Appalachia.
Last week, I mentioned medical
clinics, mentaJ health facilities,
county health departments, food
pantries, and HUD housing. This
week, let's look at a few others.
These are some that you many not
have thought about, but they offer
services for older Americans.
Legal services: For almost :l5
years the Legal Services Corpora• tion has been tn existence to provide legal representation to low-income and older Americans. Poor
people and senior citizens have
problems that require an attorney's
intervention just as the middle
class, rich and affluent do. Many
times their problems are very similar.
The big difference between the
legal needs of the rich and the legal
needs of the poor is not in the kinds
of problems they have, but in their
ability or inability to afford an attorney to help solve those prob·
'
lems.
The poor people and senior citizens living in the Big Sandy area,
who need an attorney but cannot afford one, are fortunate to have two
Legal Servh.:es offices to help them
with their legaJ needs. The Legal
Services agency does not handle all
kinds of cases and one must be lowincome before one's case can be
considered. Not all who qualify can
be helped because the number of
staff attorneys ts limited. There are
far more people with legal needs
than there are attorneys on staff to
handle those needs.
Even with all of the private at• tom eys in this five-county area who
serve faithfully and without pay on
Once you have decided to begin
an exercise program, take a close
look at your schedule and decide
what will work best for you. Maybe
in the morning before the kids arc
up? How about during your lunch
hour at work? Try taking a bnsk
walk then eating a healthy lunch
you brought from home rather than
fighting traffic to go get a fat-laden
fast food meal. Maybe right after
work before going home? Let the 5
o'clock rush pass while you work
out. You'll arrive at home more relaxed and better able to meet the
needs of your family. If you hate to
take lime from a family affair, even
!'labics enjoy an after-supper walk.
Also consider that all the time
you spend exercising IS not lost.
Studies show that workers who exercise are more productive and take
fewer stck days. Exercise also improves the quality of your sleep so
you wtll be better rested and more
cffictent at ycur other tasks. Taking
a few minutes for yourself will give
you the energy you need to meet the
demands of your job and family.
T ip of th e Week: Duration of
excrcis~:. not intensity of exercise,
has the greatest positive effects on
the1r Pro Bono panel, the need cannot be met.
Senior Citizen Cen ters: There
are several senior citizen centers in
the Big Sandy area. The center directors become closely attached to
the seniors who frequent these centers, and the seniors themselves
make deep acd lasting friendships.
This "bonding" IS beautiful and
lasting. Many find it therapeutic
Lunch is served Monday through
Friday. This hot meal is oftentimes
the only food many of our senior
cit1zens eat in a day. The center directors, with input from the seniors,
plan indoor activities for men and
women during the winter months.
When the weather is more appeahng they take trips to Branson,
to Myrtle Beach, and to other far
away places. Many take part in the
annual Senior Olympics. Center directors are also responsible for the
smooth operation of the Home Delivered Meals program m their respective areas. The saddest part
about this, as any director will tell
you, is that there are far more
homebound senior citizens who deserve and qualify for the meals than
can get them. The need is far
greater than the resources available
to meet those needs. Yet. this program like most programs established to benefit the poor and senior
citizens has been cut.
Edu cational Facilities: I think,
when it comes to education, senior
citizens think they are over-the-hill
at 60 or 65. Why? I have never figured this one out. Learning is an
on-going process. It doesn't stop
because a senior citizen thinks rus
or her biological clock is slowing
down. If some of you would quit
thinking this way you might be surprised at how much you could still
accomplish in life. And you might
be surprised at how well you could
supplement your social security
and improve your standard of living.
Do you know that "if you are 65
or older ... you can earn $11,520
and still get all your benefits ... If
you will be under 65 all year. you
can earn up to $8,280 and still get
all your benefits ... Beginning with
the month you turn 70, you can
earn any amount and still get all
your benefits."
I suggest to senior citizens that
those are can should get their
GEDs. There's no charge for these
classes and there are no age restrictions. Then l suggest that able-bodied, able-minded senior citizens go
to a community college for two
years and cam an Assoc1ates Degree. What docs it cost for a senior
citiz.en to attend a community college? Call Prestonsburg Community College or a college of your
choice. You might be pleasantly
surprised.
Would you invest two years to
help improve your standard of living for the next several years?
Think about it. Also, think about
those who have retired from teaching or the military or the mines, or
from some other kind of work.
Some in their 50s, 60s and 70s are
working every day at a second career. For these in their golden years,
life is much brighter.
There are still things I want to
share with you that benefit today 's
senior citizens. These things w1ll
have to wait until next week.

Kentucky Benefits Counseling Program for Senior Citizens call Carol
Napier, benefits counseling coordinator for Floyd, Johnson, Magoffin,
Martin, and Pike counties, at 8863876 or toll-free at 1-800-5563876.

Out of this number, over 20 percent

fees that their parents, perhaps.
could not afford; a wider acceptance of braces by an adult generation attuned to self-improvement;
concern for good health, and naturally, good looks.
Until the mid-1960s it was accepted wisdom in the field that
braces were for kids. The theory
was that orthodontics could be successful only if the patient was still
growing. Now, it's generally agreed
that, though growth is helpful, it's
not always necessary for effectJve
treatment. Today, with your dentist's help you can produce the
smile you've always wanted.

American Electric Power is new
naine for Kentucky Power Contpany
The seven operatang cornpantes
of American Elc:ctric Power
(NYSE: AEP). includang Kentucky
Power Compan~. have elected to
change to a single-company identity, adopung the Amencan Electnc
Power name and lngo for company
fJl'thties, vehicle~ and r.ommumcations wah customers.
Kentucky Power Company,
along Wtth AEP's other operating
subsidiaries. Ohio Power. Appalachian Power Columbus South-
ern Power, Indiana Michigan
Power, Wheeling Power and
Kingsport Po""er, will be known as
one company with one n:£me:
American Electnc Power (AEP).
"We will not be changing legal,
financial, rate or regulatory relation-.htps as a result of the our onecompany strategy,'' satd Tam Mosher. Kentucky's state president.
''However, we expect our customer:; will see many benefits and
efficiencies from this change in the
AEPfacts
American Electric Power's current seven-state system i~ a far cry from
the ongin.il company of the early 1900s-an assortment of small, struggling utilities scattered across many states from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Midwest
ASP actually started as American Gas and Electric Co. (AGE). AGE
was incorporated in New York !Xcember 20, t 906 and ,acquired 1ts first
utility properties January 2, 1907. The company was organi7.ed by a small
group of men who beheved they could take over a collecuon of troubled
and isolated electric companies and turn them around.
AGE mitially purchased 23 ~mall companies from Elect."'ic Company
ofAmerica, <3 Philadelphia oolding company that was in dire straiLs. All o
the 23 companies-providing electric service (and some gas. water,
steam, transit atKl icc ~crvice) in ~ew Jersey, New York. Pennsylvania.
West Vtrgima. Ohio, Indiana and IHinois-were ~ired for securities
valued at just under $10 million. Today. AEP's assets total more than $16
billicn.
AGE took this nucleus of small companie;), consolidated aod developed them. Over the years, AGE disposed of the companies that were not
in the electrit; business or did not lend themselves to consolidation and
also took into it." fold hundreds of other small electric companjes.
By 1926. AGE had three main electric pc>wer systems: one in Southern
New Jersey wjth headquarters in Alantk C ity: another in Northeastern
Pennsylvarua centralized around Scranton and the third and largest known
as the Central System. ext~nding from Virginia to Michigan. Thi~ Central
System included the companies that (ventualty became known as Ken:tucky Pc;>wer and Appalachian Power. Kc:ntucky Power, Incorporated as
the Kentucky and Wc~t Virginia Power Co. Inc. in 1919, was purchased
by AGE in 1922. Appalachian Power was incorporated as part of AGE in
1926.
After Congres~ passed the Public Utdity Holding Company Act o
1935, AGE divested us New Jersey "3Jld Penn~ylvania properties because
they coUld not be eastly integrated into the main AGE System. However,
AGE's Central System was left intaCt to develop into the AEP of today.
Through the years that followed, AGE continued to evolve and expand.
In 1958, AGE changed its name to American Electric Power Co. And after
acqutring Columbus nnd Southern Ohio Electric Company in 1980, AEf'
moved its corporate headquarters from New York City-its home for almost 75 years-to Columbus, Ohio.
As the result of nearly 90 yertrS of growth and development AEP today
hns more than 19,000 c:mployees who pmvjde service to a seven-state Clfet:l
(Kentucky, Ohio, Tndtana, Michigan, Virginia. West Virginia and Tennessee) containing seven million people. These service areas arc linked by
nearly 22,000 mtles of high-voltage transmission lines, and AEP's 22
major generating stations (20 of which are coal-fired) have the capacity to
generate more than 24,000,000 kilowatts of power.

future. AEP has enormous strength
as one company. and by operating
as such. under one name. we wtll be
better able to use those strengths in
the years ahead.''
Kentucky Power has IJP.en part
of AEP (formerly American Gas &
Electric) since 1922. "As an organization. we have long been part of
AEP. a world-class energy company, dedicated to hometown service,
and that service is not going to
change," Mosher said. "By changing our name to AEP. we are simply
aligning ourselves more closely
with all AEP employees across
seven states.
''Operating under one name and
working together will enable us to
pool resources to provide better,
faster service to customers. We've
always helped one another in outage and other critical situations, but
now we'll have an even closer tie
and be able to work side·by-side to
provide the best service possible,"
he said.
"We are looking forward to the
opportunity to provide service in a
competitive market," Mosher continued. "We believe all customers
can benefit from heightened competition in our industry. We also believe we can belp Kentuckians
reach a consensus on how to structure that competition."
Customers will soon see the
AEP name and logo on btlls. as well
as on community offices and serVICe vehicles. The change to a single-company identity will also be
supported by messages on televiston and newspapers to make the
transition to the new AEP name.
Employees in AEP's Kentucky
region will continue to supply electricity to more than 160,000 customers in 20 Eastern Kentucky
counties. AEP serves seven million
people in seven east-central states:
Kentucky. Ohio, Indiana. ~ichigan,
Virgmia. West Virginia. and Tennessee.

reception
in new job
Floyd Coun. )' 's new superintendent hasn't wasted any time getting
down to work and has turned his
eye to the district's main concern-finances.
Georgia educator John Balentine, 58, began his duties as the
school system's chief on Wednesday and has already reviewed the
system's budget.
"I have begun the process, but
I'm not ready to talk about it,''
1 8alentine said Thursday. "I want to
give it my undivided attention at a
later date. I have looked at the budget and I think I know what the
problems are.''
The new superintendent said he
has received a wann welcome in
his first day.s on the job and he
looks orw<~rd to making needed
changes
"I
\Cry delighted that the
boaTd elected me.'' Balentine said.
• The people here have been very
supportive and helpful. It's going
at a high leveLand a rnp1d pace. It's
• been very busy around here. Peo' ple have gone out of their way to
make me feel welcome."
Balentine was also quick to get
out in the community by attending
Thursday's Prestonsburg Rotary
Club meeting. He said he has been
asked to present the progran1 at the
club's next meeting.
"I've been so impressed with
the people I've met," Balenune
added. "I'm running at full force.
I've rented an apartment at
Spradlin Branch. It's just a matter
of relearning and getting familiar
with a different system and differ•ent laws."
The board of education hired
Balentme at a spec1al meeting
Tuesday and offered him a threeand-a-half year contract. Balentine's salary was set at $75,000 per
year. Chairman Ray Brackett said
Balentine' s pay could increase if
attendance numbers raise and if the
district's money woes improve.
The school system is projecting
a $1 million defic1t by the end of
this school year. State officials

Despite setbacks, Fitzpatrick
continues bid to seat local rep
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
Frank F1tzpatnck of Prestonsburg is meeting with opposition in
his campaign to place an Eastern
Kentucky representative in a Pittsburgh-based company's boardroom.
Last spring, Fitzpatrick proposed that Equitable Resources,
parent company of Kentucky-West
Virginia Gas and Kentucky Hydrocarbon, have a representative of
Eastern Kentucky sit on its board
of directors.
Fitzpatrick reasoned that smce
the company has thousands of oil
and gas wells spread over at least
one million acres of Eastern Kentucky and has been removing the
area's natural resources for the
past seventy years, the company
and its employees should be actively involved in improving the
communities in those areas.
"They have been a very poor
example of a corporation that
plays a vital role in the community
they operate in," Fitzpatrick said.
"The only visible sign that they
have taken an active role in Eastern Kentucky is their lobbying efforts in Frankfort to promote their
CH
interest in legislation that might
hinder their operations.
"They have just ndl done what a
lot of other companies do m the
small communities they operate in.
They see this area as solely a resource asset to be used and depleted."
Company officials were not
available for comment Thursday.
Fitzpatrick. who owns shares in
the company's common stock,
claims that although the company
is investing in some of the area's
organil.ations, such as the Mountain Arts Center, it isn't enough.
"If l'ou look at (what the company ha.s contnbuted to Eastern
Kentucky), it's a pittance compared to what they do in their
hometown (Pittsburgh).'' he insmuated.
He'd also like to see their employees take an active part in community organizations. ''Their management has always been inv1s1ble.

Insurance rates, gun laws and

by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
With the issue of redistricting
out of the way, legislators in Frankfort are moving forward into other
business of the General A<;sembly.
"We've been preoccupied for a
week and a half with this (redistricting) and it's time to move on,"
Greg Stumbo, Floyd County legislator and House Majority Floor
Leader, said. "We're ready to start
on the general bills of the session
tomorrow (Thursday)."
Stumbo said he expects health
care issues to get lots of attention
during the session.
"There have been extreme rate
increases since we passed the
health care reform bill in 1994 and
those increases were unexpected,"
Stumbo said. "It's time to do something about it."
He said, during testimony in
1994, legislators were told that m-
surance premiums might increase
seven to ten percent if legislators
approved the reform bill.
"I thought that was livable with
the advantages, like portability,
that came with the bill," Stumbo
said.
But those rate increases quoted
in the testimony weren't completely accurate. "What I'm hearing is
horror stories of increases in the

A state redistricting plan that divides Floyd County into three
House districts but unites the county in the Senate for the first time in
nearly 20 years received House
and Senate approval Wednesday.
But opposition to the plan from
a London lawmaker could delay
even further plans by would-be
candidates to file for the May primary.
The plan, which determines legislative boundaries, divides 22
counties for House seats and three
for Senate seats across the state,
the least number that can be split,
according to Greg Stumbo, Floyd
County legislator and the House
Majority Floor Leader.
"Some of the counties have to
be split more than once," Stumbo
said.
Under the plan, Floyd wiiJ be
represented in the House by Stumbo, Herbie Deskins of Pikeville,
and Donnie Newsome of Knott
County, according to a list of
precincts in the d1stricts of the
three legislators.
Until Governor Paul Patton
signs the bill into Jaw, which was
expected Thursday, candidates
cannot file for the May primary.
The filing deadline is January 30.
Stumbo represents a large portion of Floyd County. He thought
he was going to lose all of the Cow
Creek area in the redistricting, but
got to keep everything on the Prestonsburg side of Cow Mountain.
"Herbie (Deskins) got everything on the other side of the mountain," he said. Deskins' district includes the northern portion of the
county including Abbott, Auxier,
and Cliff 2 and runs through Jenny

whtch now belongs to Newsome.
Newsome also has Magoffin.
Knott and Wolfe counties in hts
distnct.
The plan requtres that districts
run in corridors and that they be
contiguous, meantng all the
precinct areas must connect and
can't be scauered around a county.
In the Senate, Benny Ray
Bailey now has the entire Floyd
area, the first time since before he
ran for the office in 1979.
"When I ran in 1979, Auxier
and Abbott were in the district
with Johnson County," he said.
"When I ran in 1983. 1 dtdn't have
some of Floyd in Prestonsburg.
When I ran in 1992, I dtdn't have
the river-area precincts."
While Bailey has always represented the majority of Floyd
County - 85 to 90 percent - this
ts the first time Floyd County has
been completely mcluded tn his
distnct.
Batley's district also includes
Breathitt, Knott and Johnson counties. Johnson was in the district
with Boyd, Lawrence and other
northeastern counties and this tS
the first time it has been included
in the Floyd district.
The need for the redistricting
arose after the 1992 redistricting
plan was struck down as unconstitutional because it split too many
counties. The earlier plan was
thrown out by the Kentucky
Supreme Court in 1994, tn what is
known as the Fischer decision.
Another plan. whtch was drav.'ll up
dunng a special session last year,
was vetoed by former Governor
Brereton Jones.
"The districts are supposed to
be as equal. population wise, as
posstble and split the fewest number of counties," Stumbo said.
"That infers that counties not be
spill more than once, but that is
necessary m some areas."
Two of those areas were Laurel
and Pulaskt counties. Laurel
County was spltt five ways in the
new legtslation. Representative
Tom Jensen of London indicated
he would file a lawsuit Thursday to
overturn the House redistricting
plan.
Attorney General Ben Chandler
Tuesday had tssued an advisory
opinion saying the redistricting
plan is constitutional. but that
opinion does not carry the force of
the law and if the suit is filed, the
issue could return to the courts.
Stumbo said thts IS the third
redistricting plan he's had to deal
with since he entered office in
1980.
"I still get phone calls from people who say my name isn't on the
ballot in those precincts I've lost,"
he said. "What I tell them is that I
represent every citiren in Aoyd
County. Some just can't vote for
me."
The districts have to be redrawn
every ten years, after the census
has been completed. While the
plan, according to Stumbo, splits
the fewest number of counties,
some incumbents will have to run
against each other, something leg-
(Continued from page one)
islators wanted to avoid.
The redistricting plan was the
first measure the Legislature considered when the session opened
January 2. The bill received both
committee scrutiny and chamber
action during the first week and
was expected to come to a vote on
Monday.
But a complaint from Deskins
delayed the vote until Wednesday.
Deskins asked that a downtown
Pikeville precinct be added to his
district. Deskins, in the current
plan, represented the district. It
was shifted to Representative
Kelsey Friend Jr. in the proposed
plan and changed the districts of
Deskins, Friend, Stumbo, and
Representative Paul Mason of
Whitesburg.

You never hear or see anything

If an Eastern Kentuckian sat on
the corporate board the company's involvement in the areas of
its operations could change, he
implied.
Fitzpatrick said he has no ulterior motive in the board opening a
seat to an area representative.
"Somewhere in Eastern Kentucky
there's probably someone better
suited than I am. I'm not saying
that I'm not interested nor incapable of doing it. I'm being realistic."
He has met with opposition
from the company since he sent
his request for the proxy vote last
August. He received a call from
the corporation's counsel asking
that the proposal not be inserted in
the proxy materials before the
May meeting.
At the May meeting, the proposal received only a 2.51 percent
of the total votes.
Surprised at the number of
votes his proposal received
because he had met with strong
opposition from corporate leaders,
Fitzpatrick asked the company
to place the proposal for
proxy vote at its May 1997 meeting.
The company refused. In a
recent letter to Fitzpatrick, Audrey
C. Moeller, company vace president and corporate secretary,
explained the refusal, saying that
the proposal had received less
than the three percent of votes it
required to be put back into proxy
and the proposal had been submitted at only one meeting during the
preceding tive years.
The company also contacted
the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission, seeking
an opinton on the possible repercussions of their refusal. Martin P.
Dunn, chief counsel for the commission, responded to the company's query and also contacted
Fitzpatrick.
The commission advised that
the company appeared to have
some basis for its decision to omit
the proposal from the proxy vote
because it dealt "with the same
subject matter" as the 1995 proposal and it also received less than
three percent of the votes.
The commission also reported
that only a court, such as the U.S.
District Court, "can decide
whether a company is obligated to
include shareholder proposals in
its proxy material and that the
shareholder has the right to pursue
the matter in court if they company omitts his proposal.
Fitzpatrick said he doesn't plan
to take the matter to court, but he
does plan to present it at the 1997
corporate board meeting, even
though it won't be voted on by
proxy.
"Wherever they may be (meeting), I'll be there,'' he said.
Good news at recent Job Corps meeting
At the November meeting of the
Carl D. Perkms Job Corps
Community Advisory Council,
Edna Higginbotham, director,
reported that the center was rated
number one in the region and that it
had also been commended for having the lowest Weekly Termination
Rate in the region.
She also reported on the implementation of "Operatton Fast
Track," which deals with all centers
having a 100 percent On Board
Standard by February. "Operation
Fast Track'' radio and television
advertisements are being atred
across the tri-state area, she said.
Council member, the Rev. David
Powers recommended that the program be coordinated with the
YMCA or YWCA and the job corps
director said she would check out
the possibility.
Also at the meeting, a new council member, Rev. Scott 0. Lish, was
introduced. Lish is the pastor of the
First Assembly of God Church in
Prestonsburg.
Len Grant. a member of the staff
at the JOb corps, told council members that approximately 15 or 20
students would spend their
Christmas holiday at the center.
Deadline nearing for audition
The deadline is nearing for area
singers who plan to audition for

Colentan Oil receives service award
Coleman Oil Company Inc. of
Pikeville has received the prestigious "Community Affairs Award"
presented by Exxon during its Ftfth
Annual Mid-Atlantic Excellence
Awards gala held December 4 in
Wash.ington, D.C.
Coleman Oil Company received
etrus award due to the company's
continuous dedication to the communities they serve, according to
John Blandford, territory manager
for Exxon's Mid-Atlantic Division.
Each year, one company is selected
by Exxon to receive such recognition.
Events such as the annual community Thanksgiving Day dinner,
the Autumn Jam charity concert,
contributions to the D.A.R.E. program and its nine scholarship
awards to area high school students,
are just a few of the reasons Exxon
officials cited as reasons for select•ing Coleman Oil as this year's
recipient.
"A major goal of Coleman Oil is
to provide opportunities and experiences which will enrich the quality
of Jife for local youngsters," said
John Killian, Mid-Atlantic area
manager. "Aware that customer loyalty has played an immeasurable
part in the company's success, the
leaders at Coleman Oil try to return
something to the communities
where their Happy Mart stores are
located. We, at Exxon, applaud
them for that unbelievable commitment."
~
Eddie Coleman, vice-president
of Coleman Oil, was presented with
the award by Jim Whitehurst, distribution business manager before a
crowd of 250 Exxon JObbers.
Coleman's wife, Neitha accompanied him to the ceremony.
"From the begmning, we have
always emphastzed 'We love kids.'
Feeling that the future of the region
depends on the quality education
and values that adults provide, our
promotions and sponsorships tend
to reflect that philosophy," Eddie
Coleman said.
t Coleman Oil is a multi-branded
distributor
who
serves

by Scott Perry
One thing we know for certain
after 30 years of fighting in the
War on Poverty is that governmental leadership is a big fat failure.
So, what do we do to win this
war, once and for all?
Encourage governmental leadership.
Say what?
No. we haven't flipped our
wigs. We need government to take
charge of our economic future,
but we need them to lead us in a
different direction.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist
to recognize that areas of high
poverty, like ours, also suffer from
slow to no economic growth.
Eastern Kentucky offers a pure
example of our nation's problems
dealing with poverty.
It's jobs, stupid.
Throwing money at poverty
through entitlement programs
doesn't solve the basic problem
that causes people to be poor.
Welfare leads nowhere.
So, our government must shift
its attention away from that failed
approach and toward a highly
focused effort to promote economJc growth ...job development. . .in areas where the vast
majority of people are jobless and
hopeless.
Here. that means allocating
I
Letters to the editor
government resources,
aka
money, to specific projects for
economic development.
There is money in Frankfort to
pursue that approach, but too
many restrictions in the way of
getting it.
Our state legislature, which is
in session now, should move
immediately to increase the dollars available from coal severance
taxes for use on cooperative
regional economic development
projects and they should ease the
requirements for accessing that
special fund.
Current state policy suggests
that regional projects should
include a minimum of four counties to qualify for funding and that
industrial sites should contain a
minimum of 500 acres.
Those are unreasonable numbers. especially in Eastern
Kentucky, where 500 acres of flat
land .. .in one place ... is as common
as hen's teeth. And, the basic
geography of our region makes a
required four-county coalition a
pipedream in most instances.
For all its good intentions, our
state government is as much of an
obstacle to economic development as it is an asset.
As long as the red tape blocks
our way, the true end to our War
on Poverty is nowhere in sight.

Thanks for

food program
Editor:
Thank you for thL' January 5 article on the upcoming Emergency
Food and Shelter Program Board
Phase XIV allocations meeting
scheduled for January 18 at 10 a.m.
at St. Martha Church.
I am writing to clarify that the
Catholic Social Service Bureau
does not ..receive" funds "to distribute among local food pantries ...''
The Emergency Food and
Shelter Program (EFSP) funds
awarded to Aoyd County by the
National EFSP Board are sent
directly to the local recipient organizations approved by the local
board. Last year, most of the
monies went to local food pantries;
the Floyd County Ministerial
Association and the Catholic Social
Service Bureau (CSSB) also
recetved funds. CSSB was awarded
$321 in 1995 to administer the program locally. Those funds were
used to pay for copy machine toner,
statiOnery, stamps, long distance
phone calls and other expenses
related to local board business. The
Nauonal Board allows two percent
of each jurisdiction's grant to be
used for administration.
We are hopeful that Congress
tinue the Emergency Food and
Shelter Program and that Floyd
County will receive the $16,60 I
anticipated for Phase XIV. The local
board destgnated those funds to be
used for food, shelter and administration at its November meeting. We
't 1
appreciate the help of the Aoyd
County Times in announcing our
upcoming allocation meeting.

�At Wisconsin :
Hall making most of opportunities
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
A fanner Allen Central standout
has been handed an opportunity and
is taking advantage o f 1t at
Wisconsin as part of the Badgers
basketball team.
Jeremy Hall. a fre shman, has
caught the eye o f Coach Dick
Bennett and has been thrust in the
midst of some to ugh competition in
the Big 10.
Hall g ot h1s second start of the
season against Indiana Wednesday
night and is averaging 4 6 potnts
per game for the Badgers.
"He 's pl aying well,'' Allen
Central Coach Johnny Martin said.
Martm hao; been keeping tabs on
Hall. "We've watched him some on
televt$10n (Pro~ tar). We went to
Dayton to watch him play. He's
doing well and seems to have
adjusted there.''
Hall replaced starter Mosezell
He's playing well. We've watched him
some on television (Prostar). We went to
Dayton to watch him play. He's doing well
and seems to have adjusted there.
- Johnny Martin
Allen Central coach
Peterson at the point guard in the
Indiana game. "lf you line him up
(Jeremy) next 10 Mosezell, then
Mosezell's more talented, but
Jeremy is more precise with the
ball," Bennett said. "Jeremy is a
good outs1de shooter, a good passer
and they're about equal defens1ve-
ly."
Martin said Hall has surprised a
lot of people at Wisconsin.
"We haven 't heard from him
lately," the Allen Central coach
said. "They have been on the road
and we haven't had contact with
him.''
Hall is only the second player
from Kentuck y to play at
Wisconsin. The first one was
Peterson.
Hall was handed his opportunities when returning starter Darnell
Hoskins decided to transfer.
"Jeremy had a tooth knocked out
in the Penn State game,'' Martin
said. "He had to have a root canal
after the game.''

With so many teams chopping at
the b1ts to get into the prestigious
Rax/Pikeville College Junior High
Basketball Tournament, a dec1sion
on expanding the tournament could
become a reality.
The junior high tournament was
scheduled to start this past Monday
night at the Pikeville College gym
but the '96 Blizzard caused 'a postponement.
According to David Bowyen,
Pikeville College, the tournament
has been rescheduled for this coming Saturday in an aJl-day affair.
''h was to go with this fonnat or
not play it at all,'' Bowyen said.
"The grade school sectionals are set
for two weeks and we couldn't play
it then."
The Rax!Ptkeville College
Tournament has been a hit since its
begmning ten seasons ago. Sixteen
teams will gather at the college gym
for competition in hopes of betng
the tournament's next champtons.
Adams M iddle School has won
the tournament the past two seasons
and will return to defend the title
again this year.
Seven other Floyd County grade
school teams will make up the 16team field. Mountain Christian
Academy, Osborne, Allen , John M.
Stumbo, Bet.sy Layne, McDowell
and Martin complete the field.
Mart1n is a two-ume winner of the
tournament and Stumbo has won
the event once.
The tournament will get started
at 9 a.m . this Saturday morning
when MCA takes on Dorton.
Dorton is one of the tournament
favorites.
Coach Roger Johnson's Osborne
Eagles, a county powerhouse, w1ll
face a good Millard team in a 10:15

as well as outside and carries a tournament favorite role. Jarrod
Johnson, Dale Elliott, James Walker
and B.J. Bryant will run for the
Eagles.
Coach Jackie Day Crisp's Allen
Eagles will be looktng to soar
against Elkhorn City in the third
game of the day. The two teruns will
tip off at 11:30 p.m. Seth Cr isp is no
doubt one of the county's top grade
school players but has a strong supporting cast in Mark Burchett and
Robbie Holbrook as well as Alvin
Reed. This will be a good one.
At 12:45 John M. Stumbo Coach
Hayes Hamilton will lead h1s
Mustangs onto the court in preparation of facing Johns Creek. The
Mustangs have highly regarded
Adam Tackett in the pivot and
much improved Larry Kiser at one
corner. The Mustangs would have

In the recently released NAIA
Division II rankings, both the Alice
Lloyd men's and women's basketball teams received high marks.
The men's team is ranked seventh in the nation, while coach John
Mills' Lady Eagles are sporting a
14th ranking.
Last week the Eagles downed
Sue Bennett College 104-83, but
fell o TVAC foeCovenant College
78-72. It was the flTSt league loss
for Alice Lloyd. The Eagles are 123 on the year.
Against Sue Bennett, the Eagles
were able to extend a two-point half
time lead to a 21 -point blow out.
"Our 2-3 match-up defense was
very effective an the second half,"
Eagle Coach Jim Stepp said. "We

coach, Kevin Spurlock, have studied the Badgers more than "our
own team."
"I told Coach Bennett (when he
attended the Wisconsin/Dayton
game earlier in the year) that Kevin
knew more about his team than his
assistant," Martin said.
Martin said he has ordered his
18" dish to keep up with the
Badgers and Hall .
Wisconsin took a 9-5 overall
record into Wednesday nights'
game with the Hoosiers. The
Badgers are 1- 1 in the Big Ten.
"We have nobody who's been
here more than a year and a half,
and we're starting three kids who
are first-year freshmen," Bennett
said.
The other two freshmen include
Sam Okey and Hennssy Auriantal.
The Badgers pulled off a big
upset of Michigan last week and
knocked off Villanova a week earlier.
Bennett said Hall replaced
Peterson because of his ability to
take care of the basketball as well
as distribute it.

The Bliaard of 1996 hit the
entire region by storm, literally.
Most residents in surrounding
counties spent much of Monday
and Tuesday digging out of the
I two feet of snow dumped this last
weekend on Eastern Kentucky,
Southern West Virgmia and
Southwest Virgima.
Pike,
Johnson,
Martin,
Magoffin and Lawrence counties
were shut down for the first two
days of this week.
The shut down included most
city aod county government
offices, except for emergency per
sonnel who worked cleanmg city
and county roads and schools.
• Local church services were can
celled on Sunday, and postal scr
vices were also delayed Monday.
However, customer services
returned to normal postal hours
Tuesday with delivery limited by
road conditions.
A number of the counties
declared a state of emergency.
Main roads, which includes the
state's "A" routes, were mostly
clear by Wednesday.
The "A" routes are Ky 119,
t U.S. 23 and U.S. 460. sa1d Denton
Bihter of the Kentucky Highway
Department.
Secondary roads, like Ky.
Route 80, were expected to be
mostly clear some time Thursday.
In Johnson County, Paintsville
police chief Tom Haney said nonemergency phone calls flooded
the 911 system over the weekend.
"We had people calling in
wanting us to take them milk and
things." Haney said.
The police department ran an
announcement on the local radio
stations urging residents to use
the 911 service for emergencies
only.
In Lawrence County, Disaster
Emergency Services Director
Clyde Nelson said the county bad
its emergency operations shelter
open for two and a half days durtng the storm, and two sections of
the National Guard were in to
help.
National Guard units were
assigned to the county to help
deliver necessities and to transport people in need of medical
attention.
At Sharon's Flower Shop in
Lou1sa, heavy snow that had
accumulated on a roof caused the
ceiling to collapse 1n part of the
building Tuesday afternoon.
No one was injured, and firefighters were trying to brace the
roof until it could be fixed.
In Martm County, National
Guardsmen Greg Skeenes and
Ryan Smith were able to gain
access to the home of Pigeon
Roost resident Howard Sartin.
Sartin was then transported to
Prestonsburg to receive dialysis
treatment.
The National Guard also
helped with snow removal in
Martin County.
In Pike County, power outages
were common in several areas and
an emergency services center was
set up by the county Saturday at
the courthouse.
Pikl' County Judge-Executive
Donna Damron and administrative staff were at the center
around the clock providing as
much relief as possible.
Damron said Monday the
majority of services requested
were medtcal assistance.
The med1cal situations ranged
from transporting oxygen to
homes, delivering medicine,
transporting dialysis patients to
Prestonsburg, and providing
transportation for medical emergencies.
Weather officials forecasts
more snow, any where from four
to six inches. to fall this weekend.
It may be another snowbound
week for the region.

Quick response by city police
netted four arrests following a
Friday night armed robbery at
Hardee's restaurant at Mayo
Plaza in Paintsville.
Among those arrested was a
Hardee's employee \\hom police
said conspired with the three
other suspects to rob the restaurant.
The
employee,
Svenja
Harbers, 20, of Paintsville, was
charged with complicity to commit robbery, police chief Tom
Haney said Monday.
Two men - Greg Jones, 18,
l
of Flat Gap, and Ernest I.
Layhue, 28, of Paw Meadow,
Georgia - were each charged
with first-degree robbery and
four counts of wanton endangerment. They may also be charged
with kidnapping because they
held guns on several people during the robbery. Haney said.
A fourth person, Darla May of
Paintsville, who turned 33 on the
da} of the robbery, was charged
with complicity to robbery, driving on a suspended license and
having no automobile insurance.
According to Haney, Jones
and Layhue - both of whom
were wearing ski masks and
black stockings - arrived at
Enrollment down;
teachers to be laid off
Enrollment in Martin County
schools appear to be decreasing
since the closing of several coal
mines in the county.
District wide, enrollment is
down I 00 students this year and
the projection for the 1996-97
school year is no better.
According to figures obtained
1 at the board of education office,
total enrollment will decrease
substantially next year.
"Between now and next year,
we expect a 140-student decrease
countywide," Superintendent Bill
Slone said. The local board of
education receives $2,674 per
student per year. The total loss of
income to the board will be
$374,360.
The board of education is also
one of Martin County's larger
employers; however, the number
of employees relates directly to
the number of students.
"There will have to be some
t adjustments in staffing," Slone
said. "At the same time, we must
provide the same quality of education next year as we are this
year."
The board employs more than
200 teachers and more than 200
c lassified workers as well.
"We figure there is a need for
one teacher per 25 students,"
Slone said.
That would mean a reduction
in staff of about six teachers and
a number of classified employees.
"We hope some of it (staff
reduction) will take care of itself
through attrition," Slone said.
A total of 16 teachers in the
system currently have enough
time to retire if they so desire.
"This (drop in enroJiment) will
probably mean some of our teachers will have to transfer,'' Slone
said. "Should a teacher decide to
retire, we would have to move
some of our staff to meet the
need."
The projected enrollment figures for the 1996-97 school year
are as follows: Grassy 126, Inez
Elementary 373, Inez Middle
410, Pigeon Roost 142, Turkey
56,
Sheldon
Clark
925,
Tomahawk
190,
Warfield
Elementary 313. and Warfield
Middle 260.
Slone said the greatest
decrease, percentage wise, will be
realized at Pigeon Roost. The
school has 165 students this year.
Next year's enrollment represents
nearly a 14 percent decrease.

Former policeman sues Elkhorn City
by Christopher Hunt
Appalachian News-Express
Elkhorn City has joined the
burgeoning ilst of governments or
government agencies sued recently for allegedly violating constttu
tiona! rights.
Lewis Caudill, who now ltves
in Franklin County, filed suit
against the c1ty of Elkhorn,
Elkhorn Mayor Richard V "Hank"
Salyer and Howard Dotson, former chief of the Elkhorn City
Police Department. The suit also
·names Dotson as an individual as a
defendant in the case.
Caudill claims his
14th
Amendment right to receiving due
process under the law was violated
in October 1994 when he was fi red
for "the mishandling of evidence."
Caudill and his attorney, James
J. Barrett III, also say in the complaint, city officials v1olated a
Kentucky statute. govern tng the
Kentucky
Law Enforcement
Foundation Program Fund, part of
which is referred to as the
"Po!Jceman 's B 111 of R1ghts."
Caudill and Barrett say the statute
guarantees due process under the
Jaw as well.
Barrett is an attorney in the law
firm of Pillersdorf, DeRossett and
Barrett in Prestonsburg. The city is
represented by W. Mitchell Hall Jr.
of VanAntwerp. Monge, Jones and
Edwards in Ashland.
The complaint states Caudill
was employed as a patrolman in
June 1994 and promoted to
sergeant in July 1994. At some
time close to the July date,
Caudill, in the complaint, cla1ms
he was asked by Dotson to store
some prescription drugs at his
(Caudill's) home "due to the lack
of a secure evidence locker at the
Elkhorn City Police Department."
In September, Caudill says
assistant police chief Aaron Kidd
ordered him to destroy the prescription drugs which were relevant in a legal case involvmg a
juvenile that had been settled
On October 12, 1994, Dotson
gave Caudill a letter informmg
him of his firing, citmg the evidence mishandling as the reason
"Sergeant Caudill was never
suspended, nor was any investigation of the allegation conducted,
nor was Sergeant Caudill afforded
any opportunity for a hearing on
this allegation before the mayor
and council.
"Mayor Richard V. "Hank"
Salyer, who is responsible by
statute for all personnel actions of
the city was made aware of
Sergeant Caudill's termination and
h1s request for reinstatement, and
took no action to overturn the termination." the complamt states.
The case is complicated by the
fact Dotson has not been served a
nouce by the defense telling him
he has been sued. Barrett said he
has been unable to find Dotson
since the case was first filed in
Pike Ctrcuit Court earlier this
year.
Once a case has been filed in
U.S. D1strict Court, the defense
has 90 days to serve notice on all
parties involved If Dotson cannot
be found, the case against him will
be dropped and reqUire refiling
after h1s whereabouts arc kno\\ n.
The city, in formally answering
the complaint. denies almost every
claim except that Caudill was
employed as a patrolman and that
Salyer knew of his firing and
request for a hearing.
Hall also said in the city's
defense, Caudill was not entitled
to the nght of due process because
he "was on probationary status
dunng this penod of time "
Caudill is asking for a tnal by
jury, remstatemcnt to his position
of sergeant. back pay in the
amount of around $15,000, an
undisclosed amount in compensatory damages and payment of
hts legal costs and fees
A trial date has not been set and
both sides are required to meet to
sellle on times both attorneys are
available as well as to inform each
other of evidence they plan to use
in the trial.

The Mountain HomePlace received $25,000 from
the Paintsville Tourism Commission Tuesday, but a
similar request to the Paintsville City Council was
tabled Tuesday night by council members.
Expressing familiar concerns about the lack of
information about the HomePlace, council members
said they wanted to see up-to-date financtal statements
before they decided whether the city should contribute
$25,000.
HomePiace officials had asked for $50.000 - half
from the city and half from the tounsm agency - to
operate during the off-season. The tourism commission
approved its portion of the money during a special
meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Council members did amend the Tourism

Hager Hill connector
back on schedule
The Hager Hill connector for Johnson County's section of new U.S. 23 is back on schedule, according to
state Representative Hubert Collins.
The connector, which has been on hold because of
environmental concerns, will run from new U.S. 23 at
the intersectton of Route 825 to old U.S. 23.
The construction contract for the project is scheduled to be let in June, Collins said. - The Paintsville

After the truck collided broadside into the driver's
side of the vehicle it careened across the westbound
lane and came to a stop on the shoulder of the road.
The Salyersville Volunteer Fire Department was
called to the scene to guard against possible fuel spill.
Captain Carter Conley of the Magoffin County
Rescue Squad said there was no spill or threat of hazardous material.
Rescue Squad members used the Jaws of Life apparatus to extricate Salyer from her vehicle. Salyer, along
with Hazel Batley, of Gapville, a passenger, was transferred to Highlands Regional Medical Center for observation and treatment.
Salyer reportedly was suffering from chest trauma at
the scene of the wreck, apparently caused from hitting
the steering wheel. Bailey reportedly suffered a leg
injury.
The driver of the truck, Fred Stanifer of Boons
Camp, reportedly escaped uninjured.
The accident remains under investigation by
Kentucky State Poltce trooper John Blanton. - The

�rNews of the Weird)
by Chuck Shepherd
THE WEIRDO-AMERICAN COMMUNITY
- Witnesses said that the person who robbed the
Seattle-First National Bank bra nc h in Vancouver,
Wash.. in July spoke with a deep, •·male" voice so
police were surprised to find Kristin Deane Pearsall,
29, inside a truck matching the one used for the rob• ber's getaway. However, according to police. Pearsall
admitted that the robbery was done by John, one of her
five personalities.
- In Payson, Ariz., in a July pretrial hearing on a
slander lawsuit, Judge Michael Flournoy permitted
"tesllmony" from a man who had been dead for 500
years, as presented by channeler Trina Kamp, who
contacted him from the witness stand after courtroom
lights were dimmed. Kamp's Church of the Immortal
Consciousness needed the long-dead Dr Pahlvon
Duran (its spiritual leader) to "explain" that a local
couple's anack against it was wrong. Judge Flournoy
said later he allowed the scam:e because he thought
Kamp would drop the lawsuit o nce Duran's testimony
was heard.
- In October, a jury in Tucson, Atil.. found Robert
Joseph Moody, 36, guilty of the 1993 murders of two
women despite his claim-made while acting a!> his
own attorney-that space aliens made h1m commit the
crimes. Moody said, "I know it sounds crazy," but said
that the aliens promised Moody they would raise him
from the dead in the event he were executed. Before
the trial, the judge had scratched several UFO experts
from Moody's witness list, as well as Barry Goldwater
and presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford.
-Alex Troy Fersner of Johnson City, Tenn., filed a
lawsuit in federal court in September charging that
three news anchors (two male, one female) at
WJHL-TV, Channel 11, have been flooding his mmd
with secret messages of "perverted il.lst and distractjng
TV illusions" that they "scream'' and ''breathe loud" at
him. He said the harassment has caused the loss of
facial hair as well as hair "in the back."
- In September, Robert Ferguson, 52, and his wife,
Deborah Reeder, 46. were arrested on contempt of
court charges m Franklin, lnd.-mcrely their latest
legal skirmish since their 1993 announcement that they
were renouncmg U.S. citizenship and becoming
tax-exempt. The contempt charge was over their failed
claim that their neighbors should hand over to them
200 acres of land because the governmem had no
authority to divide it up the way it has done since the
early 1800s.
Chiropractors in the News· In July, the
Massachusetts board that regulates chiropractors considered revoking the license of Ronald Goldstem after
testimony from former patients that he touched them sexually during examinations, tried to market a hypnosis service for breast enlargement, and talked to them
about his having been abducted by space aliens. And in
October, Dr. John Schuett, 36, was charged with battery in Waukesha, Wis., after he allegedly ordered a
woman into his office, grabbed her, put his mouth over
her right eye, sucked on it, stabbed her in the neck with
an acupuncture needle, and began reading aloud from
the B1ble.
-In December, Forrest Fuller, 29, of Mount Holly,
N.J., pleaded guilty to the 1994 murder of his girlfriend. After the murder, according to police, Fuller
had driven as far a.o; West Virginia, chatllng wllh the
body about their imminent marriage. He stopped to
telephone the girl's mother to admit his crime and to
tell her that he was going to dress the body in a wedding gown and wedding nng and drive to California,
where he thought the couple could he married.
- In September. 38 potbellied pigs were seued in
a raid on the "filthy,'' "unsanitary" home of a woman
in Los Angeles; an SPCA spokesperson said, "This
woman JUSt got in over her head." Two weeks later,
health inspectors in Old Bridge Township, N.J., raided
the apartment of Eugene Octtaviano after the stench of
the 400 uncaged birds living w1th him became unbearable for h1s neighbors. In June, Angelo Russo, 79, was
hospitalized after health officials found more than 300

Section 8, Page Five
Poperri
by Scott Perry
One of the toughest things about dealing with a knee deep snow isn't, as you
might imagine, driving from one place to
another, but finding a place to park once
you get there.
Parking spots are always prized possessions. but when you have to carve one out
of two feet of snow and ice, well. they're
priceless.
Sure, it's important for our road workers to get out and clear the main roads
after a blizzard, but it's really pointless to
have open roads if you've got nowhere to
pull off once you get where you're going.
If yo'u do happen upon a parking spot,
you need to observe a few rules of etiquette before pullmg in. First, look both
ways to see that no snipers are guarding
the location and always, always assume
that whoever was responsible for shoveling it out did not do so for your benefit.
Taking a spot that someone has risked
cardiac arrest to prepare is, according to
the Law of the Road, grounds for justifiable homicide in some places.
In fact, such an issue is just what
prompted World War I, though the history
books give it little notice.
While we all know that the first World
War erupted after the assassination in
'1914 of Archduke Ferdinand, of Austria,
you probably didn't know that the duke
was shot because he pulled his carriage
into a parking place that had been
painstakingly cleared of snow and ice by
a young Serb, who had taken a break from
his labor to have a smoke or something.
That particular instance some 80 years
ago still causes problems in the Slavic
countries, as you might have noticed if
you've read any newspapers lately.
American troops are currently stationed in what once was Serbia, trying to
keep peace among those who shovel out
parking spaces and those who try to
comandeer them.
The only true path to lasting peace
there, however, is a good spring thaw.
So remember, the next time you hap
pen upon a parkmg spot that has obviously been dug out by someone else, that
space may be just a convenience to you.
but to the world it may be the "button''
that starts the Big One.
Until our governments realize that a
place to park after a snowstorm is just as
important as a clear road, we'll all be living on the brink of destruction.
_During the winter months. anyhow.

ALL
MY
CIDLDREN:
Michael was suspended from
school by discussing his sexual orientation in class. With advice from
Adam, Scott agreed to join with
Laura to help save Michael. Junior
saw Liza kiss Tad. While trying to
get information on Liza from
Marian, Kinder fielded a call from a
drug company Gloria had contacted
to check on him. Later, Gloria was
stunned when Dimitri said he was
ending his investigation of Dr.
Kinder. Julia realized Anita wanted
to use her apartment for sexual
liaisons with Bobby. Wait To See:
Michael is in increasing danger.
ANOTHER WORLD: At the
hospital, John fought to save Carl,
who rallied and told a horrified
Vicky that Grant killed Ryan.
Andrew stalked Morgan and
harassed Courtney. Cass was upset
with Cecile for thinking more of her
own publicity than of Maggie's well
being. Sharlene packed and left the
Frame farm. Gary detailed to Gabe
his own history of the mysterious
prisoner. Although she had
promised to go on a family vacation
with Grant, Vicky's suspiCions
about him grew when she read the
ballistics report about the night
Ryan was shot. Wait To See: Grant
has another surprise for Vicky;
Maggie has a surprise for someone
close to her.
AS THE WORLD TURNS:
Lisa appreciated John's brusque
response to Lucinda. Later, Lily,
Lucinda, Tom, John and Lisa
learned the plane carrying Damian,
Margo, and Sam flew into bad
weather and dtsappeared. Emily
was devastated by what she found
10 Jef's apartment. At the hospital in
Maryland, everyone waited to learn
who the two survivors were.
Meanwhile, Carty blasted Mike for
using her while he still loved
Rosanna. Rosanna, in the meantime, rushed to comfort Scott about
Sam. Wait To See: A tragic ending
leads to a new beginning.
THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Mike swiped an invitation
to Brooke and Ridge's wedding so
that Sheila could learn the location.
Later, Brooke devastated Sheila
when she ordered her to stay away
NATASHA'S STARS
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
You're not pleased th1s week at a
request made of you by a bigwig.
Use your discretion. You won't
really be serving any good purpose
if you're required to break the
rules.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Your best bet this week is to stick
to working behind the scenes.
Keeping a low profile gets you
where you want to go. Family matters are rewardin~. However, there
is some disagreement over
finances.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Something occurs at work early in
the week which bas you a bit unsettled. A co-worker's behavior is
inconsistent and erratic and you
can't figure out why. It's best to
leave this person alone for now.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Something you overhear in passing
upsets you early in the week.
Remember, this is just a rumor and
isn't worthy of your consideration
in the long run. You have new
insights now about a project you've
been putting off for some time.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) It's
best to stay away from those who
would utilize unscrupulous business tactics now. Later in the week,
it's a good time for a meeting of the
minds as agreements are easily
reached with others. Use the weekend for much-needed rest.
VIRGO
(August 23
to
September 22) A family member is
really cantankerous this week and
seems to be going out of his or her
way to pick a fight with you. Hold
your tongue and be patient. This
person finally settles down by
week's end.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) You're concerned now
about a situation regarding ethics.
Someone's actions are decidedly
dishonest and you have difficulty
dealing with this. Feel free to consult this person and state your position. The air is cleared by week's
end.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) You're inspired now
by the actions of a close friend
whose selflessness is admirable.
Later in the week, it's a good time
to enjoy fun activities with friends
and family. A talk held in private is
related to money matters.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) A controversial
issue arises at work and unfortunately, you are right in the middle
of this. Be tactful with higher-ups
and be clear about where you stand
to avoid misunderstandings. This
weekend, news or a visitor from
afar brightens your outlook.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) A difficult situation at
work has you stymied early in the
week, but a solution is happily
found before the week is over.
Home and money interests are
highlighted as you sail into the
weekend. Look into investment
opportunities.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) It is a week of one
domestic upset after another. It
seems no matter what you propose,
family members are in disagreement. You would be wise to stay
out of this as much as possible
since your input won't be appreciated anyway.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Singles find this an inauspicious time for romance and couples
are similarly affected. Your intuition is a valuable asset in business
affairs this week. In fact, you're
particularly efficient and mentally
sharp.

- In November in Pawtucket,

- Dan1el Paul Sabel, 47, and
Richard Michael Barker, 38, were
arrested in Lake Oswego, Ore., in
October after their scheme to steal
a safe from a grocery store backfired. The initial thrust of their
truck, with the 900-pound safe
chained behind it, yanked the safe
underneath the truck, halting it
about 100 feet from the store,
where a passing police officer
arrested the pair.

vowed to avenge Sheila's humiliation. Maggie warned Jessica not to
rush into anythtng with Sly.
Stephanie and Ridge both yelled at
Brooke after learning she had seen
Sheila. Wait To See: Brooke is in
for a shock that could change her
life.
THE CITY: Tess went to the
party she ordered Sydney to throw
for her. Malcolm pressured Sydney
to introduce him to Jared. After a
heartbroken Tony told Steffi to go
with the man she really loved, she
left with Cooper. Malcolm's continued interest in Jocelyn threatened
her relationship with Alex. A
reporter overheard Frankie and
James telling Angie how they felt
about the importance of the
African-American
family.
Unforeseen circumstances keep
Sydney and Nick from their
planned rendezvous atop the
Empire State Building. Wait To See:
Malcolm's hold on Jocelyn grows
stronger.
DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Bo
and Hope began the courting
process again. Lexie dtscovered
that Celeste had been making large
donations to the orphanage in
Aremid. After hitting his bead in a
fall, Stefano saw the woman in the
portrait come to life. Vivian hired
Gregor to date her and make Victor
jealous. After learning from Hope
that Jack let Jude go to save her,
Jennifer rushed to thank him. Jack
spotted the matchbook and asked if
he can keep it as a possible clue. As
Stefano struggled to recall his past,
he was struck by lightning. Wait To
See: Kristen's faith in John IS tested
again.
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Lucy
was unaware that Katherine had
been abducted by Damian. Felicia
told Simone about Georgie's persistent fevP.r. Alan and Monica grew
closer as Jason seemed to be coming out of his coma. Damian left a
groggy Katherine to be found by the
police. Later, Garcia announced
Damian was missing. A test of a
bloodstain on Katherine's shoe
matched Damian's blood found at
the lakehouse. Lucky's gambling

SOAP SCRAPS
Often, when an actor dies, the
role she or he has played is recast.
Sometimes, however, the role and
the actor are so closely linked,
recasting is impossible. This was
true for the character of Bert
Bauer on "Guiding Light," for
example. When the actor, Charita
Bauer, died, so did Bert. Another
example was the death of Fra
Heflin, whose "All My Children''
character, Mona Tyler, also died.
When "General Hospital"
announced that Rosalind Cash
died after a courageous battle
against cancer, it was assumed that
the soap would soon write in a
death scene for her character,
Mary Mae Ward. But as weeks
went by and nothing about Mary
Mae appeared on screen, some
fans assumed the role would be
recast.
On January 19, however, the
character of Justus Ward (played
by Joseph C. Phillips) will come
to Mary Mae's home and realize
she bad died in her sleep.
CASTING NEWS: "Guiding
Light" welcomes a new teenage
character, J Chamberlain, son of
Nola Reardon Chamberlain (Lisa
Brown). George Pilgrim, who bas
done episodic television, including the erotic "Red Shoes Diaries"
narrated by David Duchovny ("XFHes") and recently wrapped a
Universal film, "Time Master,"
makes his daytime debut in the
role.

Lucci) " ... when it's obvious Erica
is a sick woman and don't the marriage vows say in sickness and in
health? Also, isn't he just sending
her into a closer relationship with
Dr. Kinder (Michael Sabbatino) if
he rejects her?''
Bonnie makes some good
points regarding this story line. I
must admit, it's taken me by surprise and as many of you have told
me, you would have preferred to
see Dimitri put up a more active
fight for his wife than simply
resort to tough love.

• Investors uncertain
about the impact of the flat

Funds, such as Federated's

investment as low as
$1,500.
• Short-term muni

are generally higher than

-SPOTLIGHT ON
HEALTH
IN CALIFORNIATaking Long-Term
Advantage
(NAPS}-The
best
time to plan-and payfor long-term care may be
when you're young.
Consider these calculations. The cost of longterm care is much lower
for people in their 30s, 40s
and 50s, and gets higher
with advancing age. For
example, a 40-year-old
purchasing lifetime comprehensive
coverage
might pay as ltttle as $19 a
month compared to $152 a
month for the same coverage for a 70-year-old.
Admittedly, at 30,
long-term care may seem
like a long way down the
road, but it is a reality that
almost everyone eventually has to deal with.
If you count yourself
among the more than 95
percent of Californians
who do not have longterm care protection. now
might be the right time to
take a serious look at how
you would cope with the
financially
devastating
costs of nursing homes
and in-home care.
Many people believe
erroneously that long-term
care protection is unnecessary or too expensive. The
California
Public
Employees' Retirement
System has been proving
that belief wrong. To date.
more than 35,000 people
have s1gned up for the
PERS Long-Term Care
Program-a program that
provides more choices and
flexibility than most poli·
cies offered by insurance
companies, at a price
that's, on the average, 30
percent cheaper
The PERS program is
not just for those who
have retired or are about
to. By joining the program
while you're still working,
participants are able not
only to gain immediate
coverage but also to avoid
paying a much higher premium if they waited until
they were older to buy.
Rates are based on your
age when you enroll and
are designed to remain
level over your lifetime.
Long-term care is
something we all should
think about since statistics
show that three out of five
Americans over the age of
65 will, at one point or
another. be unable to care
for themselves.
Contrary to popular
belief. Medicare, Medigap
(Medicare supplemental
insurance) and employersponsored health pro-
grams do not cover the
long-term services required because of chronic
disabilities or just the
aging process.
The PERS Long-Term
Care Program is avrulable
to most California Public
Employees and retirees
and public school teachers. Their spouses, parents
and parents-in-law are
also eligible. For •

Law enforcement officials in
Tennessee are investigating the
deaths of a former Prestonsburg
resident, her husband and her son,
who died in a fire that swept
through their Tennessee home Saturday.
Wanda Lee Collins Messer,
daughter of Otis Lee (Buddy) and
Olive Fern Hatfield Collins of Prestonsburg; her husband, James, and
son, Jammie, died early Saturday
morning at their combined residence and business in Speedwell,
Tennessee.
The Messers had converted an
old bam into living quarters for
themselw·.s and the occupants of
their kennel. The loft area had been
remodeled to provide a residential
area for the Messers and the
ground level area of the building
had become the family business,
the Teddy Bear Kennel.
Evidently, the building was not
wired for electricity and electrical
it cords were run from power poles
outside the residence to the inside,
according to Dexter Bean, fire
chief of the Speedwell Volunteer
Fire Department.
Twenty-five dogs, housed in the
building, also died in the fire. Fern
Colhns, mother of Wanda Messer,
said five of the animals. three rottweilers and two small dogs, were
family pets and lived upstairs. Approximately 75 dogs were housed
on the compound and were later
taken in by neighbors of the
Messers.
"With that many dogs, with 25
.. dogs in the house, why didn't they
wake her?" Collins questions, and,
as ofThesday, she had not received
any answers.
She said officials talked about a
faulty heater in the building, but
had not revealed the cause of the
fire or why her daughter died in the
blaze. The structure was leveled by
the fire.
Fire chief Bean said the fire apparently started from a kerosene
heater and the family had probably
succumbed to smoke inhalation

Wheelwright police chief
fired at commission meet
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Wheelwright City Commissioners voted Monday to fire police
chief Tommy Engle because numerous complaints have been filed
by citizens.
After a 15 minute closed session, commissioners Allen Taylor,
Jimmy Little and Mayor David
Marice Sammons voted to terminate Engle's employment. Commissioners Davtd Hall and David
Boyd voted against the firing.
Mayor Sammons said after the
meeting that numerous complamts
of harassment by Engle were a factor in the firing.
"We decided that we no longer
need him as a police officer," Sammons said. "We've had several
problems with him. It's nothing
personal, we just feel that law enforcement is not working the right
way."
Prior to the vote to fire Engle,
Nannie Hall complained to commissioners that Engle had harassed
some of her family members. Hall

Delay in jail opening postpones E-911
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Floyd County's E-911 system
may not be up and running by the
first of March as expected, but
county officials will be ready to get
emergency service system on line
as soon as possible.
A delay in the opening of the
county's new jail has postponed
renovation of the third floor of the
courthouse, where the E-911 communication system will be housed
Judge-Executive Ben Hale commented at Monday's 911 board
meeting that the delay has not halted progress to get the system in
place.
"We can't do the work on the
third floor until they're gone," Hale
said. "But, we'll keep the process
movtng along. If that Ruts us
behind, so be it. If it's another
month later, it has to be. It's out of
our hands. But, I don't want us to do
it haphazardly. That date was set
contingent on them being gone in
December."
Interim Judge-Executive Bob
Meyer set the February 28 start-up
date for the E-911 service last year
based upon the new jail being
opened 10 December. The board
voted 10 November to house the
county's communication system on
the th1rd floor of the courthouse.
Hale told board members
Monday that some m10or work
remains to be done on the new jail
and that state corrections offictals
plan to tnspect the facility by
January 25
Board member Gene Mullins
asked Hale if there were any ''big
problems" with the jail project.
"No." Hale said. "We have to get
it just right.··
Also Monday. the board voted to
recommend to the fiscal court to
purchase voice recording equipment
from
the Dictaphone
Corporation in Huntington, West
Virginia, at a cost of $22,970.57.
Deputy judge-executive Chris
Waugh reported that Dictaphone
was the best bidder, even though it
was not the lowest.
"Although their bid's a few thousand dollars higher, it depends on
who you have the trust and confidence in," Waugh said.
A check with references revealed
that there have been very few problems with the equipment, Waugh
said.
In other action, the board voted
to recommend that Prestonsburg
dispatcher James D. "Doug'' Wells
be hired as dispatching supervisor
for the E-911 service.
Board member Jim Caldwell. a
member of the tnterview committee, told the board that Wells was
the only applicatant who met the
qualifications of NCIC and LINK
training.
Seven people applied for the
position, but one applicant did not
show up for an interview, Caldwell
said. The salary is set at $ 18,000
annually.
A lso at Monday's meeting,
which was rescheduled from Friday
due to the severe weather, Waugh
updated the board on the election of
board members for three new fire
taxing di!>tricts.
On the Martin area board are
Delores Dingus and Eunice Hall,
who were elected by property owners; and appointed members Frank
DeRossett Sr., Johnny Mayo and
Bill Hughes.
Auxier board members are Ruth
Goble and Ronnie Music, elected
members; and appointees Danny
Hall, Leo Music, Anita Hall, James
Dee Caudill and M. Doug Wells.
North Floyd board members are
Dickie Hall and Phillip Elliott, who
were elected; and Tom Smllh,
Dougie Hyden and Ron Wright,
who were appointed.
Waugh said a meeting with
board members to discuss their
roles and responsibJ!ities was to be
held January 15.

Fees, progralllllling to be elllphasis Fireman-of Mountain Arts executive director
(continued from page one)
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
Setting rate fees and lining up
performers is the next order of business for the Mountain Arts Center's
management commission.
Bob Meyer, executive director,
told the group Monday evening that
work on those two areas needs to
start now even though the building
won't be finished until later this
year.
"This is a critical issue we need
to deal with right now," he said.
Meyer said he and Greg Crum,
MAC manager, visited other centers last week and learned the
Prestonsburg center might be
behind schedule when it comes to
future operations.
"The manager was in place four
years before Riverpark opened in
Owensboro," Meyer said. He has
been "in the loop" since January I.
Meyer said he also learned that a
"two-month shakedown" is recomfPlended after construction hl\S ~n

palatable perceptton in this community, .. he said. He also said a technical director was on site at the
Owensboro center about seven
months before the center opened to
Jearn the ropes when it carne to the
electronics tn the building. "We
won't have that long. I don't think
we have the flexibility for that
much time," Meyer said.
But setting rates for use of the
facility, as well as lining up perfor·
mances should be top priority over
the next few months, Meyer said.
After presenting a list of 12
potential uses of the center tncluding a Christmas show,
Sunday morning church service, all
regional music festival. Floyd
County music festival and use by
the
Kentucky
Opry
and
Prestonsburg Honor Choir Meyer asked commission members
to recommend other potential users
of the facility.
He also set up the program per·
formance
committee
which
includes Estill Carter, Carlos Wells
and JoAnn Lyons. Committee
members will meet at least once
before the February meeting of the
commission to discuss future programming.
"We have to look at the potential
programmtng profit centers,"
Meyer said. "We know that the
Kentucky Opry will be our main
user, but we need to bring in others
as well."
Bringing tn other groups is
where the center will make money
and Meyer said setting the rents and
o feest in advance is a necessity to
making the center ful\ction.
"We have a lot of questions that
still need to be answered," he said.
"But we're learning to ask the right
questtons."
Meyer and Crum had several
rent/fee schedules from Riverpark
and from the Kentucky Arts Center
and several other centers and said
the local schedule could be structured in similar ways.
The Morgantown Muntcipal
Auditorium bases its schedule on
the class of user, with the city and
county governments and public
schools getting the cheapest rate
Wheelwright--Engle had been harassing her.
Engle

attended
Monday's meeting, but left
before he was fired.
Commissioners also discussed policeman Brian Boyd in
c losed session, but took no
action. Sammons said Boyd
would be acting police chief
In other action Monday:
• Robert Williams, with Bill
Bottoms C.P.A., presented the
city's and utility commission's

that city officials need to

• Commissioners voted to
purchase ten tons of road salt.
• Commissioners agreed to

and the for-profit performance
groups being charged the highest
rate.
The Boyd Martin Experimental
Theater at the Kentucky Arts Center
bases its rent on a per-seat cost, the
number of seats set up, not sold
with a minimum number of seats
set at 90. At that theater, labor
charges are extra.
Another theater in the center has
a $2,400 minimum charge with
extra costs for use of the box office
and stage for rehearsal.
Meyer said he is also looking at
the use of volunteers at the center.
Riverpark has 400, while the
Kentucky Arts Center uses I ,500
for its operations.
In other action, the commission:
• Said it will adopt a mission
statement at its next meeting.
• Look at a draft of fiscal policies, with a policy to be adopted at
the next meeting.
• Learned that Crum is sending
out a survey to learn what community fllembers want to see in the
ienter.
lion also removed several items
from the motel, including furniture
in her apartment above the office.
"I've been here 33 years and
never had a fire before. I never
dreamed of getting one," she said.
Nine rooms of the motel were
damaged by the fire. Furniture in
the rooms were destroyed by water
and smoke damage, Pet Hall said,
as well as new bedding and drapes
stacked in the storage area.
Mrs. Hall estimated, conservatively, that it would cost her around
$35,000 to get back into operation.
"I'll have to put a roof back on it.
It's hard to say what it will cost,"
she said, Monday. "We just have to
dig down and go to work."
Although arson is not suspected,
the Allen Fire Department could
not determine the cause of the ftre
and has asked the fire marshall to
investigate.

Registration underway for college credit telecourses
Trying to go to college while
• managing work and family can be
difficult, even for a super hero.
That is why, for the past 17 years,
KET has been making college
accessible to the homes of
Kentuckians through televised
courses. Registration is now underway at many Kentucky colleges
and universities for KET's Spring
1996 telecourses, which begin
Sunday, January 21.
Taking a fully-accredited college-level telecourse from home is
-. a practical way to earn credit
toward a degree. Busy students can
record the programs and watch
them at their convenience. After
registering for the course through
their local college or university,
students' on-campus obligations
are minimal. Most colleges require
class attendance only a few times
throughout the semester for class
djscussions and tests. Textbooks
and telecourse study guides can be
purchased at campus bookstores.
Among the 25 schools participating in some or all of KET's tele~ courses, five Kentucky Community
College
Systems
colleges
(Ashland, Madisonville, Paducah,
Prestonsburg and Southeast) are
now offering an associate of arts
degree via distance learning telecourses in a new pilot project entitled Going the Distance. KET and
the Kentucky Telecommunications
Consortium are participants in the
collaborative educational effort
involving 36 public televisiOn stations, colleges and universities
across the nation and the Public
Broadcasting System.
SPRING 1996 TELECOURSES
~
The 1996 spring schedule of
KET telecourses includes nine
undergraduate telecourses and one
graduate education telecourse.
Educating Able Learners, the
graduate education telecourse,
describes and models how teachers
can enhance the potential of gifted
students in regular classrooms and
individualized development programs.
The nine undergraduate classes
' include America in Perspective,
which focuses on the lives of
, Americans and the consequences of
political and social conflict in our
nation's history since 1877.
Government by Consent marries
, political science ins~ction w.ith
examples of how students can
involve themselves in American
government at different levels.
The Sociological Imagination
advances students from the experiential to the intellectual, provoking
them to think creatively and critically about themselves and their
social worlds. Portrait of a Family
explores the diverse living patterns
of families today and the decisions
people face in their personal lives.
Women and Social Action helps
students identify gender stereotypes and barriers and examine the
impact they have on women's lives.
In the area of archaeology and
sociology, Out of the Past uses dramatic location footage to enable
students to explore how archaeologists reconstruct ancient societies
and explain how and why they
evolved. The Western Tradition II
begins with the post-Renaissance
wars of religi on and continues
through industrial modernization to
the present. Business courses
include Marketing, which uses
practical examples and case studies
to solve modem marketing problems and to identify consumer
needs, and Taking the Lead, a
course which emphasizes the competencies needed for successful
business management with the culturally and socially diverse workforce of the '90s.
COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES OFFERING

degree, the following colleges and

If the opponents of a bill that would
allow Kentuckians to carry concealed
weapons realized the economic benefits the legislation might offer, they
might not be so critical of the proposal.
Think of the jobs that could be created in the security industry alone if we
were all allowed to pack heat.
You'd have to beef up the security
forces at places where tempers are
prone to flare ... like saloons, dance

invest in creating a new line of clothing
that would let pistol-packing people

Of course should none of that catch
on, you can still count on one industry
to benefit.
The mortuaries.
Don't they just look so natural?
That's enough to make the flat tax
worthy of consideration and it could
make the debates over such a tax
plan real interesting.
Can you imagine anyone debating in
support of the IRS?
It looks like a flat rate income tax,
which has been talked about for
years, might get some interest in the
upcoming presidential race.
The leading proposal suggests that
all working Americans would pay 17
percent of their incomes in taxes, with
no deductions, but allowing most of us
to file our returns on postcards.
The system could also lead to the
elimination of the Internal Revenue
Service, that one particular government agency that all Americans love
to hate.
One element associated with a flat
rate income tax is the creation of a
national sales tax, which would provide enough revenues to help keep
the income tax rate at a reasonably
low level.
The sales tax, of course, would
affect just about everybody, but only
when they made some sort of purchase.
That may not appeal to everyone,
but at least you'd have something to
show tor your tax expense. That has
to be some kind of improvement over
what we get now.
Okay, we've just about heard
enough of this debate over legislative
redistricting in Kentucky. Every time
you turn around, it seems someone is ,
redrawing boundaries and then getting sued for poor map making.
Well, here's a proposal to end once
and for all the political maneuvering
and legal bickering over who gets to
represent whom in the general
assembly.
Just pass a constitutional amendment that gives each of Kentucky's
120 counties their own representative
in the legislature.
What could it hurt to have 120 state
~
representatives instead of 100?
The same select group of eight or
ten legislators would still be running
the show, anyway.

PROPOSED LAWS
WILL PROTECT
TOBACCO COMPANIES
by Laura Yeomans
"I have a 12-year-old son. There
~are children in his sixth grade class
who are already smoking Clgarrettes," said Janet Studer, director of
government relations for the
American Lung Association of Ohio.
"The tobacco industry is spending $6
billion dollars on advertising and
promotion a year, much of that targeted toward children and youth."
"We are having a challenge with
the tobacco industry in terms of what
they are doing with legislation,"
Studer said. Legislation mtroduced
~ in Ohio and 30 states will repeal antismoking ordinances in many communities. Other legislation will
exempt tobacco and other companies
at the state level from liability for the
harm their products cause if the products carry a federal or state mandated
warning label.
"If we were only talking about
adults I wouldn't be as concerned.
Our concern is with the children,
who are smoking at younger and
younger ages," Studer srud. "We
have Joe Camel which elementary
• school students recognize as readily
as they do Mickey Mouse. The
tobacco companies have advertising
in teen magazines and at sporting
events these kids go to. I don't think
a simple warnmg label on a packet of
cigarrenes is enough to counteract $6
billlion worth of advertising."
A 1992 Supreme Court decision
allows victims to sue tobacco companies under state product liability laws,
even though tobacco companies are
immune from liability for the harm
their products cause under federal law.
Attorney generals in Aorida,
Minnesota, West Virginia, and
Mississippi are suing tobacco companies to recover money spent by the
state on tobacco-related illnesses.
Maryland has sent out an announcement inviting proposals from private
attorneys to sue tobacco companies
for Maryland Citizens, according to
the Council on Smoking or Health.
"Tobacco products are this country's leading cause of preventable disease and death, accounting for more
than 400,000 deaths and $50 billion in
direct health costs per year," Studer
said. "House Bill 350 in Ohio ignores
these facts and would allow the tobacco industry to escape any responsibility for the misery caused by their
products." Phillip Morris and R J.
Reynolds
tobacco
companies
declined to comment on House Bill
350's immunity provision.
Thomas Lauria, spokesman for
the Tobacco lnsmute, supports
statewide regulation of anll·smoking
ordinances.
"We think smoking restrictions
arc better enforced from a statewide
level, where everyone knows what
the rules arc. No community has an
advantage or disadvantage over
another commumty," Lauria said.
''You may have an individual or
group of anti-smokers who may be
particularly influential in one town
and they like to sec their world view
or their will enforced. They can go to
a small town council and say, 'Ban
smoking and hang smokers from the
highest bow.' Well that may make
them feel good, but it makes for ludicrous public policy"
'This is a national effort by the
tobacco industry to remove authority
by local governments to protect their
citizens from the hazards of tobacco," said Alan Mills, manager of
state relations for the American
Cancer Soc1ety. "The bills also limit
and prohibit local authority from
controlling the sale of tobacco products to children and teenagers."
Stu Kerr is the health commissioner for the Findlay, Ohio, city
health department. Findlay and
Hancock County have local health
regulations that require smoke-free
areas wherever the public gathers. A
Mobile Home Sales
local mall, hospitals and workplaces
arc smoke-free, although they may
have designated smoking areas.
Restaurants can have smoking and
non-smokmg areas.
"Other people's tobacco smoke
can make you sick. Back in 1986, the
Surgeon General C. Everett Koop
said passive smoking can cause illness m healthy nonsmokers. Studies
showed what passive smoking d1d to
k.ids and nonsmoking spouses. It
causes 3,000 additional cancer cases
each year,'' Kerr srud.
"No state law should limit the
ability of victims of tobacco products
to obtain civil jusuce, or limit the
right of communities to restrict
smoking," Studer said. "Volummous
documents make 1t clear that the
tobacco industry has known for
decades about the addictive properties and health risks of its products,
but continues to deny the undeniable."
Laura Yeomans is the consumer
columnist for Citizen Action.

Bartley claims Gardner personally and/or through his attorneys,
Eric Conn and Dan Jack Combs,
"caused malicious and false statements" to be made regarding
Newsome "to several forms of
media including but not limited to
the local papers, radios and television stations."
Officers confiscated marijuana,

Thompson said deputies had a

Newsome is also seeking attorney fees and a trial by jury.

Animal displays draw crowds to Prestonsburg College
Animals, both live and dead,
recently drew large crowds to
Prestonsburg Community College.
On December 5, Dr. John G.
Shiber, Associate Professor of
Biology, opened his ammal biology
lab to local school children for an
"Animal Phyla Review."
•
This display consisted of preserved and living specimens from
nearly every major animal group, or
phylum.
The review was attended by a
group of sixth-graders from Flat
Gap
Elementary
School,
fourth-graders from Patntsville
Elementary, and a group of academically
talented
fourthand
fifth-graders from Paintsville.
Several of Dr. Shtbcr's animal biology students were on hand to assist
with the review and answer questions.
The display consisted of a wide
variety of items rangmg from skeletons of cats, rats and bats to Jellyfish, butterflies, frogs. snakes, owls.
squtrrels. and a large black bear.
After touring the lab, the children
were treated to a vtdeo titled:
"Animals You'll Never Forget."
The video featured ammals the
average person will never see in
real life. They include the "Jesus
Chnst Ltzard," which hterally
walks on water, and howler monkeys. which make a sound identical
to the howling of a heavy wind in
the dead of night.
A few days earlier, the Pike
Building Auditonum was filled
with children, parents. and PCC
faculty members and students for a
presentation
titled.
"Unusual
Antmals," which was sponsored by
Dr. Shiber's Communtty Biology
Club.

Stanley and the Clinch Mountain
Boys, 'The Lewis Family, Charlie
Sizemore, David Parmley and
Continental Divide, Larry Sparks
and the Lonesome Ramblers, The

When asked about the '96 season. Stpp music director Anita
Belhasen said she is extremely
excited about being able to offer the
dynamic combination of Illrd Tyme
Out/Lonesome River Band to
launch the new year. "To use a
country music analogy, this is like
having Garth Brooks and John
Michael Montgomery on the same
stage, and we are very gratified that
the management of these two fine
groups have been willing to work
with us in helping further the cause
of the Sipp Theatre and the Sipp
Theatre Foundation. I know they
could both be working somewhere
else for a lot more money," said
Belbasen.
Admission prices for this concert
will be $10 in advance and $12 dollars at the door, a deviation from the
usual ticket prices of $8 and $10.
Belhasen said the extra two dollars
is necessary because of the caliber
of the groups, but that the Sipp
would return to the lower price for
its next offering, Larry Sparks and
the Lonesome Ramblers and The
Goins Brothers on Saturday, March
9.

Editor's Note: Following are
questions answered
daily by VA counselors. Full information is available at any VA office.
Q-What is the law that provides for compensation of U.S. veterans who have unexplained illnesses related to their service in the
Persian Gulf?
A-It IS Public Law 103-446,
the Veterans Benefits Improvement
Act of 1994, which President
Clinton signed into Jaw November
2, 1994. The law authorized the
Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) to pay compensation to any
Persian Gulf veteran suffering from
a chronic disability resulting from
an undiagnosed illness or a combination of undtagnosed illnesses that
became manifest durmg Persian
Gulf service or, to a degree of l 0
percent or more, within a specific
time frame following Gulf service.
VA began compensating Persian
Gulf veterans after publication of a
regulation February 3 in the Federal
Register. The regulation listed 13
categories of undiagnosed illness or
illnesses that must manifest within
two years of leaving the Persian
Gulf theater of operations. The 13
categories are not exclusive. and
other signs and symptoms could
qualify for compensation purposes.
The 13 categories are: fatigue, signs

home loan guaranteed by the
Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) is much higher than those cur£ently being offered by lenders.
Does VA have a program to assist in
refinancing home loans to reduce
the interest rate?
A-Yes. VA urges veterans with
interest rates on VA-guaranteed
loans at least two percentage points
higher than the current rate to refinance. This can be done with VA's
Interest
Rate
Reduction
Refinancmg Loan (IRRRL). which
is used strictly to reduce the interest
rate on an existing VA-guaranteed
loan and often requires no out-ofpocket cost to the veteran homeowner. The potential savings are
substantial for veterans. Call your
local VA regional office at 1-800827-1000 for a list of private
lenders who offer IRRRLs in your
area.
Q-I want to buy land to build a
house on when I leave the Anny.
Can I use my VA-guaranteed home
loan for this purpose?
A-No. A VA-guaranteed loan
cannot be used to buy undeveloped
land unless it is part of a package
that includes building a bouse.
Q-Do I have to live in the
house I buy with a VA-guaranteed
loan?
A-Veterans must certify that
they intend to live in the home they
are buying or building with a VAguaranteed loan.
Q-Can I use my entitlement for
a VA home loan to buy a motor
home?
A-No. Motor homes are not
included in the VA loan guaranty
program. However, you can buy a
trailer or manufactured home, with
or without a lot, with a VA-guaranteed loan.
Be safe when heating your home
When the weather outside is
frightful, keeping warm is a priority. But if fireplaces and space
heaters are not used properly, they
can be costly and even deadly, warn
Department for Health Services
safety officials
Terry Wescott, product safety
program
manager,
says
Kentuckians who use fireplaces,
wood stoves and space heaters
must have two safety items in their
homes.
"Everyone should have a fire
extinguisher near the heat source
and smoke detectors properly
installed near all sleepmg areas,"
said Wescott. ''Regardless of how
careful you are, a fire could start
and these items may mean the difference between life and death."
Wescott also urged Kentuckians
to install a carbon monoxide detector io their home and have an
escape plan in case of a fire.
Wescott offers the follow1ng
safety tips to help prevent a home
fire. WOOD STOVES AND FIREPLACES-Most bums and deaths

Parent input is very important

associated with these heating methods result from improper installation and creosote build up.
• Always follow manufacturer's
instructions for installation, especially those concerning the surface
the stove is placed on and distance
from the wall
• Most wood-heating fires occur
m chimneys. Chimneys should be
mspected regularly and repaired
when necessary. Chimneys should
be cleaned by a qualified chimney
sweep every year to prevent accumulation of creosote, a tar-like
residue that can build up in chimneys over time and catch on fire.
• Never burn trash, charcoal or
plastics in a wood-burning applianc-e. These items can overheat and
start a fire and/or release dangerous
pollutants.
• Collect ashes in a metal bucket
with a metal cover. AJways wear
gloves.
KEROSENE
HEATERS-
"Flare-up" fires, or uncontrolled
flaming, can occur when using
improper or contaminated fuels.
Want to lose a little
weight ... or a lot?
Join First Place: a Christ Centered Health Program.
The Baptist Student Union at Prestonsburg Community College
in conjunction with the First Baptist Church of Allen will be
offering First Place, a Christ centered health program with the
emphasis on weight loss. Everyone is welcome. To learn more
about this program, you are invited to attend the orientation
meeting Wednesday, January 24th at 4:00 p.m. at
Prestonsburg Community College in the Johnson Building in
room 148. The First Place program combines Bible study and
scripture reading with a sensible eating plan to help all participants focus on giving Christ "First Place" in every area of their
lives. The ultimate goal is for each person to experience more
abundant life as Christ becomes Lord of the spiritual, mental.
emotional and physical part of our lives.
For more information call: 87 4-2873
Always use 1K kerosene.
• Pollutants from kerosene
heaters can accumulate inside and
become hannful. To prevent this
situation, set the heater wick. at the
level recommended by the manufacturer and adequately ventilate
the room.
ELECTRIC
HEATERS-
Electric beaters provide good temporary heat but are not des1gned for
extended use or as a substitute for
central heating.
• Never use an extension cord
with an electric heater.
• Do not use near water because
of the possibility of electrocution.
GAS HEATERS-Ventilate the
room if you smell gas from a heater.
Immediately alert the gas company.
NEVER light a gas heater or touch
electrical switches if you smell gas.
• Carbon monoxide poisoning
can occur if heaters are not properly vented. Make sure that heaters
are properly working according to
manufacturer's instructions.
• Symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble those of the
flu-headaches, dizziness and nausea. Continued exposure to the gas,
which is colorless and odorless, can
cause unconsciousness and death.
• Newly manufactured unvcnted
gas space heaters have an "oxygen
depletion sensor," whtch detects
reduced levels of oxygen and shuts
off the heater before a hazardous
level of carbon monoxide accumulates.

The Floyd County Times
P'burg returns
home with win
over Magoffin
1\. Look At Sports :
Cancellations:
coaches look
for days, ways
to reschedule
The weather continues to be a thorn in
the side of high school basketball in
Floyd County. All games scheduled to be
played this week were canceled and
tonight•s contests are threatened as well.
Allen Central was to play at Betsy
Layne in a top conference game, but that
could be postponed (no decision at press
time). Rebel coach
Johnny Mar\in said
his team need's some
playing time.
"I haven't been
able to get very many
out
to
practice
because of the weath- ~, ~
er," Martin said. "I~ "
really doubt we will
be able to play at Ed Taylor
Betsy Layne Friday Sports Editor
night."
Magoffin County was scheduled to tip
off at Prestonsburg tonight in a top
regional game. It will be only the second
home game of the season for coach Jackie
Pack's Blackcats.
South Floyd was scheduled to travel to
Lexington to face Henry Clay tonight.
That game could be a possibility if the
Raiders are able to get out of the county.
Six girls games were canceled this
week. Thesday's Prestonsburg at South
Floyd was postponed and will be
rescheduled later.
With all the cancellations, the upcoming All A Regionals will make it difficult
for some teams like Allen Central and
South Floyd to rescheduled canceled
games soon. The girls' All A Classic starts
next week and the boys' in two weeks.
J have always been a supporter for
scheduling conference games earlier in
the season to be able to get them in and
not have to worry with rescheduling.
But, on the other band, I can see the
coaches' point in delaying them. You
want your team to be as sharp as it can be
when it comes conference time and playing non-conference games early gets
them ready.
When a team has to start playing the
remaining regular schedule and try and
squeeze two or three canceled games in,
they may find themselves playing three
and maybe four times a week as the season winds down.
Allen Central's Lady Rebels have a
make-up game already with Betsy Layne
and will be playing in next week's classic. lf an early exit from the tournament
occurs, then the two teams may be able to
work out a rescheduled game next week.
South Floyd must make up a game
with Prestonsburg at home.
I would like for all county coaches to
notify me when they have rescheduled
postponed games.
Weather could change the site of the
girls' All A Classic. If inclement weather
is the case, the tournament will be moved
to Allen Central. A decision on the move
will not come until next week. The tournament is set for Wednesday through
Saturday.

MY FAVORITE TIME....
I love this time of the year.
No, I don't like winter time and 1 certainly am tired of the snow. But when you
get to the middle of January you have to
start looking at the conference rat:e, the
upcoming district tournament (which I
feel will be one of the best we have had
of late), and then you have regional tournament time and the SEC tournament,
NCAA playoffs. Gosh. don't you just
Jove Jt!
The district is wide open, boys and
girls. I mean it doesn't matter who is the
top conference team as far as standings
go. Throw the records out the window
when it comes tournament time. The
team playing the best basketball at the
time wilt win it.
Prestonsburg is perhaps the struggling
team now, but by tournament time they
could be playing the best basketball.
South Floyd is a veteran team. They
could jell by then. Betsy Layne has been
very impressive the first half. I like the
Bobcats' chances. Allen Central is
always, always a strong tournament team.
The Rebels are still the Rebels.
Boy, just when I think I have the girls'
district figured out, someone comes along
and throws a wrench into the works.
Right now. Betsy Layne looks good for a
third district title. But come tournament
time, it could be Prestonsburg - a team
that has been struggling. Allen Central.

The Prestonsburg Blackcats'
return to their home court has been
a long one, but was successful as
they avenged an earlier loss with a
57-48 win over the Magoffin
County Hornets this past Saturday
night. Prestonsburg fell to the
Hornets in the season opener in
December.
"Cabin fever" appeared to bring
the fans to the Prestonsburg
Fieldhouse as a good crowd was on
hand to witness the Blackcats' third
win of the season. It marked only
the second time this season that
Prestonsburg has played on their
home court. They played nine of
their first ten games on the road.
Jason Bevins and Andy Jarvis
scored 13 points each and Wes
Samons tossed in 12 to lead
Prestonsburg past the Hornets.
Jarvis put on a defensive show in
the game with ten (unofficially)
block shots and 14 rebounds
Bevins and Jarvis teamed well
together on two excellent high-low
plays that brought the crowd alive.
"Andy played a tremendous
game for us," coach Jackie Pack
said. "Some had him for 12 or 13
block shots, but he played a tremendous game for us."
Pack said the game had to be a
confidence builder for his team.
"Wins have come tough for us,''
Pack said of his team's second consecutive win. "The last four or five
games we lost we have been in
every game. nut down the stretch
we found ways to lose. But this
team is starting to get a lot better.
They are starting to come around. I
thought our defense was the difference in the game tonight. Our
defense is a lot better than what it
had been."
Pack said his team felt fortunate
it was able to get four days of practice in this past week and that
helped overcome the lack of games
because of the weather.
"We
practiced
Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Fnday
th1s week," he said. "It didn't hurt
us as bad because we did get to
practice. We would have liked to
have been playing, but it just dido t
work out that way."
Pack said his team did a good
job of protecting the basketball.

taking care of the ball," he said.
"That is something we weren't
doing the first of the year. We were
getting some rebounds, but we
were throwing the ball away a lot.
We're not turning the ball over as
much now and that has helped us.
"We had to slow our game down
some to do it. But once we Jearn

we can speed our game back up,"

with Amanda Samons and Natlie Cooley back, could win it all. I like the
way Henry Webb's South Floyd Lady Raiders are playing. Prestonsburg
hasn't played a game this year. The last time coach Harold Tackett's
Lady Blackcats was in competition on the hardwood was December 20
at Knott County Central.
This is just a two-night affair (if they do like last year's) and any team
could have an off night and go home.
I just get excited thinking about the upcoming tournaments. But we
have plenty of good regular season basketball to play yet. Some of the
top games are yet to be played and that will be all of them. Betsy Layne
going against an Allen Central, Prestonsburg, or South Aoyd team. Or
just the reverse with all teams. It is going to be great.
Allen Central will be the site of the district this year and the regional
will move to Prestonsburg. Belfry will be the site of the girls' regional
tournament. I hope they level those two mountains by then.

Osborne Eagles upset
highly regarded Betsy
Layne Bobcats, 77-66
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Just to make things more confusing as to who would be the
favored grade school team m the
• upcoming Floyd County Basketball
Tournament,
coach
Roger
Johnson's Osborne Eagles did just
that when they defeated pre-season
favorite Betsy Layne, 77-66 this
past Monday night at Wheelwright.
Betsy Layne, known for its upand-down-the-court tactics, ran into
a gamed Eagle ballclub that many
feel can win it all this season. The
reason for those feelings is found in
Jarrod Johnson and Dale Elliott and
the chemistry the Eagles have as a
• team.
Johnson scored a game-high 30
points to the lead the Eagles and
Elliott hit for 20 points in a solid
effort. Point guard B.J. Bryant finished in double figures with 13
points.
The victory improved Osborne's
record to 9-5 on the selll)on.
Osborne trailed the Bobcats 1914 after the first quarter, but
outscored Betsy Layne 24-12 in the
second period to take a 38-31 lead
to the locker room at the half.
•
"We came out in the second
quarter and made a change in our
defense," Johnson said. "We gave
up on our press and went to our
half-court defense."
Johnson said the change gave
his team the ability to move the ball
better on offense.
'They went through our press
like a knife cutting hot butter,"
Johnson said. 'They didn't have
any problems at all with it.
thought if we were going to get
back in it. we would have to make a
change."
Dropping back into their halfcourt game allowed the Eagles to
get their own running game in gear
and they ran to the sev~n-point half
time lead.
"We ran our break better once
we played half-court," the Eagles
mentor said.
Osborne went to the foul line
and attempted 36 free throws hitting just 16.
"I was told they would put us on
the foul line a lot," Johnson said.
"That scouting report proved to be
accurate. They fouled a lot, but that
is the way they play."
It was the third win for Osborne
in the month of January against no
defeats.
"January bas been a good month
for us," the Osborne coach said.
"We feel we are playing good basketball right now. But it sure has
put the tournament favorite up in
the air. Betsy Layne is a fine ballclub."
James Walker tossed in eight
points for the victorious Eagles.
Michael Hall finished with six.
Scott Collins led Betsy Layne
with 17 points. Josh Howell added
14 and Bradley Brooks scored I I.
Howell buried two three-pointers
while Brooks hit one.

• Prestonsburg overcomes sloppy play to rout Pikeville
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
It had been 24 days since coach
Harold Tackett's Prestonsburg Lady
Blackcats had taken to the basketball court to face any competition
and 1t showed against Pikeville this
past Saturday in a rare afternoon
game
at
the
Prestonsburg
Fieldhouse.
The Lady Blackcats overcame
some uninspired play and posted a
54-36 win over the Pikeville Lady
~ Panthers to even their overall record
to 5-5 on the year.
Senior April Newsome led
Prestonsburg's scoring with 18
points that included three threepoint baskets.
Sophomore Crystal Layne netted
17 points and buried two treys.
Freshman Shelly Greathouse tossed
in six points.
Charity Burke led Pikeville with
her 12 points. The Prestonsburg
defense stifled high-scoring Sunny
Phillips, who finished with JUSt one
point, that came in the fourth quarter when she hit one of six free
throw attempts.
Jillian Kimberlain totaled seven
for the Lady Panthers.
Prestonsburg busted out in the
first quarter and raced to a 24-6 lead
behind the scoring of Newsome and
Layne.
Layne hit consecutive threepointers while scoring ten pomts in
the quarter and Newsome, who also
had ten flTSt-quarter points, hit one
three-pointer in the first period.
Greathouse and Ladonna .Slone had
two points each in the first.
But it was a different looking
Prestonsburg team that played the
second period. The Lady Blackcats
could o nly manage seven points in
the second period as they went cold
from the field and Pikeville picked
up its offense, outscoring the host
team 14-7 and trailing 31-20 at the
half.
Newsome and Jesst Burke had
the only two field goals for
Prestonsburg in the second stanza.
Kimi Nunnery hit two free throws.

Tackett shows true form as Betsy Layne rolls 60-53
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Against Elkhorn City Saturday
night the Betsy Layne Lady Cats
took care of business and it was
Ashley Tackett who led the charge.
' Tackett finished with a season-high
19 points to lead the Lady Cats to a
60-53 win over a very good
Elkhorn City ballclub that came to
t. play, according to Betsy Layne
coach Bill Newsome.
"They took care of the basketball,'' he said. 'They only had 12
turnovers in the game."
•
Coach Newsome said it was the
.... "old" Ashley Tackett who showed
for the Elkhorn City game.
''Ashley finally played like she
is capable of playing," the Betsy
. Layne coach said. "She played
great the whole game and played
under control. J feel that she saw
both sides of the game, defensively
and offensively, well."
Penny Tackett finished with 13
points for Betsy Layne with Jessica
., Johnson and Crystal Gearheart netting II points each. Gearheart, as
she normally docs. had an excellent
game on the boards with ten
rebounds.
"She played great for us," coach
Newsome said. ''She rebounded,
she scored, she played a perfect
game for us."
Newsome said one of the attributes of Gearheart is that she listens.
"She hears what is being said in
practice and does what I ask her to
do in the game," Newsome said.
"Crystal is a great girl with a great
attitude and she played a great
game for us tonight."
tJ
Ashley Tackett pulled in six
rebounds tor Betsy Layne in the
fourth consecutive victory. The
Lady Cats have won five of the last
seven games and have picked up
their play since struggling earlier in
the season.
Elkhorn City jumped out to an
earlier lead, but Betsy Layne
scratched its way back and trailed
by one, 12-11, at the end of the first
period. The Lady Cats took a onepoint lead, 26-25, to · the locker
room at the half.
Penny Tackett and Ashley
Tackett led a third-quarter charge
where Betsy Layne outscored the
visitors by ten points, 18-8, and
netted a 44-33 lead after three q uarters. Newsom e said Penny
Tackett's defense made the difference.
"Penny played a strong game for
us from start to finish," he said.
"She had several key steals that led
to points for us and she had ten big
assists."
Betsy Layne had to hold off a
late Elkhorn City challenge in the
final period to win by seven.
Jessica Johnson was held scoreless in the flTSt half by the Elkhorn
City defense, but was a big factor in
the third-quarter spurt for Betsy
Layne.
"I felt that she was trying too
hard in the first half." Coach
Newsome said. "But she got it
going in the third quarter and tinished with 11 pomts. She played
alert tonight and played very hard.
She got the job done in the second
half."
Heather Kidd, Jill Martin and
Leslie Newsome finished with two
pomts each, but according to their
coach, they contributed much more.
" Heather played a very strong
defensive game for us," he said.
"She stepped in the passing lanes
and had some big steals for us. She
did a lot of things right.
"Jill Martin and Leslie
Newsome came in the game,
played smart and got some timely
rebounds for us. Amanda Hall
played a good game as well," he
said.
Betsy Layne's starting center,
sophomore Rachel Thompson, did
not dress for the game because of a
sprained ankle.
Damron led all scorers with 24
points for Elkhorn City. Potter
added 14.
Betsy Layne will travel to Pike
Central Thursday night for a big

spurt for Prestonsburg in the third
period. Prestonsburg's defense shut
out the Lady Panthers from the field
in the third stanza.
Pikeville scored just three points
on three free throws by Charity
Burke.
Pikeville, who made only 14 of
32 free throw attempts, hit only five
of 17 tries in the final quarter.
The weather was cool on the outside, but it was even cooler on the
inside as Prestonsburg did not post
very impressive stats. The team hit
only 2 1 of 71 shots from the field
for 29.6 percent shooting and made
only 50 percent of the field goa1s,
but did shoot 22 percent from the
three-point arch, hitting five of 22
attempts.
Layne and Amber Leslie each
pulled down six rebounds for
Prestonsburg with Newsome hauling in three.
Layne led Prestonsburg with
eight assists. Newsome had six and
Greathouse four. Prestonsburg as a
team had 22 assists in the contest.

GET READY: KEVIN O'NEIL
WILL REMIND UK FANS OF
MEARS AND ABERDEEN
Kevin O'Neil. Tennessee's bas·
ketball coach, is a wise guy who
looks like a frustrated biology gmd
student whose shoes are too tight.
He wears a suit so snug it looks
more clearance rack than tailored.
And O'Netl talks like another fire ·
brand Yankee out of Marquette, AI
McGuire. complete with razor·
tongue glib and sarcastic humor. I
like him.
. Today. Kevin O'Neil is just
another
SEC
coach
eating
Kentucky\ dust. But write it down,
tomorrov. he will be UK fans' worst
nightmare, Ray Mears and Stu
Aberdeen rolled into one. Vef) soon
now Kentucky faithful will be giving O'Netl a standing boo-vation.
Heaven forbid, some day some
body might fling an orange at him.
This IS a man who is going tO be
as popular in Lexmgton as Rick
Barnes is 10 Chapel Hill. Because
O'Neil is going to build good teams
in Knoxville and stir up a simmering association with Rick Pitino
into the kind of hot caldron Adolph
Rupp and Mears once had and
every fan had an opinion about.
Meantime, the Vols coach must take
his place in a growing line of the
vanquished who grudgingly throw
rose petals at Pitino's team. Stand in
chains and praise Caesar's army.
"The one thing Kentucky does
best is play hard," O'Neil says.
"You can talli: about all their talent
and all that depth, but let's face it,
Kentucky plays hard. It's the best
thing a good team can do and
Kentucky does."
Is four games into the SEC campaign too soon to predict Kentucky
will run away from its conference
foes, O'Netl did not hesitate. "No,
it's not too early. It wasn'ttoo early
in pre-season."
For his part, Pitino expressed
displeasure with his team's performance against Tennes~ee last week.
And rightly so.
"Fourteen assists is not enough,"
said the man who harangued at a
deserving Antoine Walker during
the game. The JUntor forward was a
focal point for UK's bad outing. His
14 rebounds and four assbts were
lost in the weeds of selfish play and
poor shot selection (two of 14) .
Rolling on. if and when
Kentucky has dtspcnsed with LSU
and Texas Christian this week, the
Wildcats will head to Athens to play
Georgia looking for a 15th straight
win for the first time since 1970
when Rupp's team, led by Dan Issei
and Mtke Pratt, reeled off 15 in a
row on the way to a 26-2 season.
SEC: A RUN FOR SECOND?
If Mississippi State is the second
best team in the Southeastern
Conference in '96. then Kentucky
must be to this league what
Secretariat was to those other guys
at Belmont Park in '73.
This race is for Place, Show, and
who gets the NCAA at-large bids.
Anybody notice Mississippi
State coach Richard Williams tried
to employ a Dean Smith stratagem
against UK? State's coach opened
with a Rodrick Rhodes· defense.
Just as North Carolina lured
Kentucky into a stampede by offering Rhodes any shot he wanted on
the perimeter, Mississippi State
invited Antoine Walker into quicksand.
Walker was too savvy and the
Wildcats too varied on offense. And
the defense was superb enough to
stuff a gag in the partisan crowd's
mouth. Walker stuck to Da Coach's
gambit of pulling defender Dampier
out of the paint and the rest is history.
Postscnpt: Yo, Erick Dampier. is
your real name Benoit Benjamin?
'56 U OFL
DESERVES HONORS
U of L basketball fans have had
liule to be excited about lately, but
Saturday's reunion celebration of
Louisville's 1956 NIT cham pi·
onship team in New York was a day
in the sunshine for a unique team
and a special coach, Bernard "Peck"
Hickman, native of one of
Kentucky's finest, Central City.
Denny Crum acknov. !edged the
1956 Cardinals and the occasion.
then sm1led and said ''of course I
was just a teenager at that ttme.''
Yes, but mention of those names
on radio, and seeing their faces on a
baseball card-like collection issued
by Standard Oil Company in the
1950s. stirred magic possibilities
nonetheless.
Charlie Tyra. Phil Rolhns and
Bill Darragh and the others wrote
an indelible chapter in Kentucky
basketball traditions. Interesting.
The Cardinals' only losses in a 26-3
campaign
were
to Western
Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky and
Xavier, perhaps reflecting the caliber of basketball in Kentuckiana.
From a fan's view, the defining
images of the '56 Cardinals were:
togetherness, team play, hard work
and reward. Qualities and results
that make basketball special and
stay on as good memories, tran·
scend the games.

ness, the best television broadcasting team for college hoops today is
ESPN's Brad Nessler and Clark
Kellogg. with Tom Hammond and
Larry Conley (Jeff Pilot) second,
albeit a distant second.
Nessler reports the game, knows
the flow and does not overstate
what he/we see. Kellogg, despite an
irresistible lean to underdogs (and a
deep down disdain for UK basketball, going back to the days when
Joe B. Hall was recruiting him), the
ex-Ohio State star overcomes his
temptation to be cute (mostly), and
gives the game call a nice 'this ain't
rocket science' touch using hip-hop
palaver, a dash of humor and a terrific laugh. Nessler and Kellogg
work well together.
Name of the week: Angel Pigg,
basketball star at Ballard Memorial
High School.

University Heights 6-10 basketball standout Lamont Barnes is
being recruited by and is leaning to
stgmng with Temple. If Barnes
signs with John Chancy (excellent
fit), according to analyst Rick
Bolus's ratings, he could be the
sixth of top eight m state high
school players to commit to out-ofstate universities.

Daymcon Fishback (Greenwood)

MOE WILLIAMS
At the time, star running back Moe
Williams announced his decision to
forego his senior year at Kentucky,
make himself available for the NFL,
only one other underclassman running
back said he was coming out, Leeland
McElrfoy of Texas A&M.
After Williams' announcement,
count 'em, five other underclassmen running backs added their
names to the list before last
Wednesday's deadline. A Jist that
already includes Heisman Trophy
winner Eddie George, looks, uh,
crowded. Forecasters believe a11
will be chosen ahead of Williams
leaving one to wonder about his
bargaining power, what sort of contract he can expect to sign.
CHEERS. There was one intelligent decision made in the rush to
riches however. Warrick Dunn, star
runnmg back at Aorida State and
"head of the family,'' said he would
stay in school another year, get his
degree, then pursue a professional
football career.
BILL CURRY'S
DISAPPOINTMENT
Kentucky's head football coach
Bill Curry's positton in Moe
Williams' decision to leave UK
early was a disappointment.
Graciously accepting the young
star's decis10n was predictable, but
Curry failed to seize the moment
and sound bite opportunity. Facing
cameras and microphones and having been in the NFL, he should have
warned of the pitfalls of squandering taxpayer financed education
opportunities and promoted the
long-range merits and goals his
employer represents.
Of course in the real world of
wins and losses and contracts, that
is a misnomer any way smce Curry
represents an athletic department,
and athletic wear endorsements,
and Jim Host Enterprises more than
an educational institution.

The Lady Rebels have had to
play without therr standout center tn
Amanda Samons. But Samons has
returned and Coach Bonita
Compton is hoping for better
II ~ things.
"I am glad to have her back. as
well as Natlie Cooley," Compton
said. "Nattie is rusty and needs to
play her way back into shape."
Cooley, an eighth grader, missed
the first part of the season with a
knee injury she suffered in practice
before the season began She has
yet to play a varsity game for Allen
Central.
"We had our best practice for the
first time since October," Compton

there and know what it is and what
tt takes to win," she said. "I wouldn't count us out of it.''
Thts year's field has parity with
the exception of Feds Creek, a team
that has struggled in returning to the
hardwood.
• Millard is undefeated in regular
season play and ts probably the top
ranked the top team of the eight.
• Paintsv1lle is a very strong
team this year and is loaded with
talent.
• Allen Central is young, very
young.
• Elkhorn City has been impressive at times this season.
• Phelps has been a surprise team
this year.
• South Aoyd is a much
improved team and better than the
current l-6 record would indicate.
• Pikeville is another team that
has come a long way since the season started in November
• Feds Creek is just getting started all over again.
M11lard will have to carry the
favorite's role in this tournament
and why not? The Lady Mustangs
have the "twin towers" in Whitney
and Bnttany Bartley. Coach Cindy
Adkins· ballclub has the tools to
make them a winner.
Paintsville could very well reap
the dividends from having such a
young ballclub three years ago.
This team tS very strong and has a
lot of talent.
With the addition of Heather
Collins (former Prestonsburg Lady
Blackcats) the Lady Tigers are a
much stronger team. Cassie Cooper,
Karen Hall and Christy Philpott are
three more reasons to rank the
Paintsville Lady Tigers a tournament favorite.
The dark horse in this tournament could be the Elkhorn City
Lady Cougars coached by Jerry
Childers. Phelps is another team
that will cause some problems in
the Classic.
"Millard will have to be the
favorite to win it all," Allen
Central's coach said. "Then
Paintsville, Elkhorn City and us.
Phelps could come in there.''
In tonight's (Wednesday) first

Local racer Marshall Edwards
will be traveling "deep in the heart
of Texas" this weekend as he beads
for Houston for another date with
the race course.
Edwards will race this Sunday
and before the race, he will enjoy
being the focal point of the NBC
cameras
"An NBC affiliate in Houston
will be doing a tape interview of
me before the race and 11 w11l be
played wh1le they arc covering the
race live." Edwards said.
Edwards said the interview was
a result of an article published in

sent the station.
Edwards, as a result of his effort
in Ch1cago last year, has received
an invttation to run in New Orleans
in April.
"But with my work schedule
I'm not going to be able to go," he

Grigsby's record should be allowed to stand
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
It took Geri Grigsby, former
McDowell Lady Daredevil. just
three seasons to establish not only a
state scoring record m women's
basketball but a national record as
well.
Currently, Grigsb) is the
nation's leading basketball scorer
(includ~ng
men's) with 4,385
pomts, enough to put her tn live different Hall of Fames
We all know the ventures of Fort
Thomas H1ghlands senior Jamie
Walz. who no doubt is a tremendous basketball player in her own
right. Wall received a late
Chnstmas present from
the
Kentucky Htgh School Athletic
Association (KHSAA) this week
when they reversed an earlier deciSIOn not to allow points Walz scored
as a seventh and eighth grader.
Under the National Federation
of High School Athletic Association
rules, only points scored during
eight semesters (4 years) of high
school competition IS recogmzed by
the NFHSAA. KHSAA Sports
Informahon Director Butch Cope
said his dectsion to reverse hts
December 27 ruling was two fold.
"Number one, we allow (athletes) to play in seventh and eighth
grades. Number two, in this position as a sports publicist. I felt it
was taking away from her accomplishment in the state.''
Under the NFHSAA. Walz has
only 3.276 points whtch would not
make her a threat to catch Grigsby's
record. Kentucky is the only state
that allows grade-schoolers to par
ticipate in varsity sports.
Under the decision of Cope.
Walz will receive the 1,078 points
she scored as a grade schooler giving her 4,354 pomts, just 31 points
shy of Gngsby's record.
Qucst10n!
If Wail passes, which she ts sure
to do, Gngsby's record, w11l she go
m the NFHSAA record book as the
top women's scorer in the nation?
How can she if the NFHSAA does
not recognize grade school accom
plishmcnts?
Will
that mean Grigsby.
although she no longer will hold the
Kentucky state record. will still be
the nation's all-time leading scorer?
If the decision remams mtact,
will the KHSAA record books indicate that Grigsby accomplished her
feat in three seasons while it took
Walz six years? There must be
some distinguishing way of noting
the two.
According to Grigsby's father,
Pete Grigsby Jr.. Cope indicated
that an asterisk will be placed by
Walz's name in the record book as
havmg accomplished the feat 10 stx
seasons.
''1 asked him why not an astensk
Grigsby went through grade
school and even her freshmen year
without any girls' basketball. It was
her sophomore season at McDowell
High School that basketball came to
the Left Beaver school. There she
starred for coach Johnny Ray
Turner for three seasons, totaling
4,385 points and becoming the alltime national leading scorer, surpassing even the legendary "King"
Kelly Coleman of Wayland.
Geri Grigsby contributed much
and was a big reason that girls' basketball took off. She has been the
best girls' player and one of the top
players in the nation, if not the best,
and should not be cheated of being
the state's leading scorer.
I like the Walz girl and I think
she will have a great college career
at Western Kentucky, but the
KHSAA did wrong in recognizing
the points she scored in grade
school. Someone from the Fort
Thomas area must have put pressure on the KHSAA to change its
December decision.

�Twice told tales from a warmer clime
*
With all th1s nasty weather and evcrythmg, I
thought perhaps a column pertaining to a warmer
climate might be appropriate right about now.
So, when I came across thts talc that Bill
Hensley told me a few years ago about a married
couple who arc friends of some fncnds of his who
ltve in Florida, I thought now mtght be the time to
tell it again.
The story is actually kind of sad and is about
how this guy broke his ann.
Btll said that this couple hved in a condo located
next door to a golf course. One day the husband
came in after playing 18 holes, or so, and was taking a shower.
Just as he got soaped up real good. he heard a
blood-curdling scream from his wife in another part
of the house.
Havmg no earthly idea what was going on, and
undoubtedly thinking that something horrible bad
happened to her, he ran naked as a Jay b1rd from the
shower and found her standing in the middle of the
living room...pale as a ghost and pointing at the
couch.
All she could say was, "Snake!"
He finally got enough information from her to
figure out that a snake was in the living room and
had crawled under the couch.
Realizing that some snakes in florida are poiso.-------~:!!!!!!!"'t nous, he grabbed
up a nine-iron, got
down on his knees
and started raking
back and forth
beneath the
couch... trying to
dislodge the snake
Clyde Pack
"-------....:.---' from its hiding
place.
Now there he was, on his hands and knees, wearing nothing but a few remaining patches of Irish
Spring and a few drops of water, flaihng back and
forth under the couch as fast as he could with a golf
club.
Well, it seems that this couple owned a poodle.
All the screaming and unusual activities that were
taking place had gotten him all excited. So. all at
Poison
Oak
Wednesday, January 17, 1996
once he lunged forward and nipped the man on the
bouom.
Thinking the snake had somehow c..1rcletl back
and bitten his backside, the man yelled and JUmped
up so violently that he struck his head on the coffee
table. It knocked him out as cold as a cucumber.
The wife, seeing her husband unconsc1ous, called
Section
911.
In just a few minutes the ambulance was there,
and while the two men loaded her nearly-naked
husband-by now he was modestly clad in an
embroidered doily from a nearby chair arm-the
wife frantically explained about the snake and
everythtng.
As they reached down to lift h1m, though, one of
the men stepped squarely on the snake which had
finally come out from under the couch. When the
man looked down and saw 1t, he pamcked and
threw up hJS arms, ninging the unconscious husband onto the coffee table, breakmg his arm
I guess if the story has a moral, it would have to
be that one can break an ann in ways other than by
slipping and shding on 1cy sidewalks.

Crafty couple embroider life with activities
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer

Bruce and Sarah Wilcox's home on Burke
Avenue is filled with many things - children, their love of God, and their crafts.
"We're retired. We keep busy," Bruce
Wilcox said. "We're quilting by hand right
now."
In their living room, a large quilt frame
holds the craft of current interest. It's a quilt
made by Bruce's sister and features the
birds and flowers of every state. Sarah is
quilting the outside of the quilt while Bruce
is handling the blocks which contain the
embroidered design.
"You can do anything if you set your
head to it," Bruce said. "You have to have
something to do."
But the craft the Wilcoxes are most proud
of is their work with plastic canvas - and
more specifically a large doll house complete with ceiling fans and bathroom fixtures.
"It took us nine months to make," Sarah
said. "We found a pattern at Wal-Mart and
started last January."
She said their interest in plastic canvas
started two years ago when her granddaughter brought her a pattern for a calendar.
After that, the couple was hooked.
"Bruce had been making hooked rugs, but
he got tired of that," Sarah said. "I've got
them all boxed up in there."
The doll bouse is any child's dream,
except Sarah and
Bruce wouldn't
think of letting
their great-grandchildren, or any
of the children
who visit, play
with it.
"They know
they're not
allowed to touch,"
she said.
Sarah used
beads to make the
lights throughout
the house. She
even created her
own pattern to put ceiling fans in some of
the rooms. And finding bathroom fixtures
was difficult. "I finally made my own," she
said.
The bathroom is complete with towels.
There are curtains on the windows and all
the mirrors are real.
''The pattern called for fake mirrors, but
Bruce wouldn't have that," Sarah said. "So
we went to Arrowood's and had them cut
mirrors to fit where we wanted them."
"I really did enjoy making this," Bruce
said. "I did most of the cutting. I even had
to buy special tools to cut the plastic canvas."
In addition to the doll house, the
Wilcoxes have made a replica of their
church in Johnson County, a tiny vil1age to
go with Bruce's train set, a carousel, a
bunny Easter basket, and a nativity scene.
The couple sold one of thetr nativity scenes.
but said they don't like to do them, or any
of the other designs, to sell.
"Then it becomes drudgery," Sarah said.
"I like to give them away, but I don't like to
make them to sell. Then it's too much like
work."
Before retiring, Sarah, who proudly tells
her age of 76, worked at various factories
around the area. After retiring, she started
keeping children and has raised several
from newborn to school age.
She remembers one day with two of the
youngsters, Matt and Lauren. "I put them in
the kitchen for lunch and came in here to sit
down," she said. "They were probably four
or five at the time. All of a sudden, I heard
them giggling. I had fixed spaghetti and I
told Bruce I was afraid to go in and see
what they'd done. When I did, they had
thrown that spaghetti all over the kitchen. It
was a disaster."
But she said she enjoyed having the children in her home despite their behav10r at

times. "Some of them still come back to see
us. We put so much work into them. I
enjoyed those babies."
About as much as they've put into the
doll house and other plastic canvas items.
"My granddaughter and great-granddaughter are already saying they want the
doll house," Sarah said. "We'll just have to
see."
The two say they are in better shape now
than they've ever been in their life.
"All last year, we took five aspirin
between us," Sarah said. "We walk every
day we can, and Bruce always tends a big
garden."
"I just can't sit down and not do anything," Bruce said. "I've even started crocheting."
Sarah said she walks on a treadmill every
day.
"I'm proud of every day and I love to tell
my age," she said. "I don't have any aches
or pains. I hope the Lord lets me stay busy
as long as I live."
William Jennings Bryan Jed the State's prosecution
of biology teacher John Thomas Scopes in Dayton.
Tennessee, in July of 1925. It is often referred to as
the Monkey Trial because it tested the recently enacted Jaw forbidding the teaching of Darwin's Theory of
Evolution in Tennessee.
Bryan frequently referred to the "ridiculous theory
of man evolving from monkeys."
"These professors are trying to tell us the Earth is
millions of years old," Bryan jested before many of
the newsmen who had arrived for the trial "Have you
thought about how long a million years is? Well, it's a
long time. The Bible tells us the Earth is less than six
thousand years old. That's more believable! That's
what the Bible says and I believe 1t."
Someone attempted to tell Bryan that testing of
rocks indicated the Earth to be much older and it
made the famous orator bristle.
''I'm not as interested in the age of rocks as I am
in the Rock of Ages,'' Bryan said resolutely.
Although Clarence Darrow's arrival was publicized, his reception committee was modest The thermometer was nudging one hundred and It would stay
near the hundred mark each day during the trial
except for the brief respites each night.
"There were some people at the depot to meet me
and they were kind and courteous," Darrow would
reflect later in life. "All through the trial the people
treated us well in spite of our position in the case. It
was so hot, and 1ce was well-nigh unauainable down
there. We tasted that far-famed southern hospllality
when we opened the icebox and found it stocked w1th
a slab of 1ce, milk and cream and butter There was
even a ch01ce cantaloupe there for breakfast. It made
me almost believe in miracles."
The news reporters always found Williams
Jennings Bryan ready with a quip. When they
attempted to learn Darrow's thoughts of th~ upcoming
trial he chose his responses carefully.
"I can always tell more about such matters after
the trial than beforehand," Darrow retorted.
The Rhea County Courthouse. shaded by trees,
stood in the middle of the square in the middle of
town just ltke court houses in many other county
seats throughout the country.
As lawyers, newsmen, residents and other visitors
converged on the courthouse they passed newly painted signs. strategically placed with messages "Read
your Bible daily," "Come to Jesus" and "Prepare to
meet thy Maker." Bryan smiled wryly upon seeing
each placard. Darrow pretended not to see.
When the out-of-town lawyers and newsmen
climbed the staircase on the flfSt day of the trial they
were surprised to find a courtroom befitting the case
that was getting underway. The large room would seat
a thousand or more people.
Darrow took his seat and looked over some material as the large crowd buzzed with chatter When the
bailiff called out, 'Tennessee versus Scopes," Darrow
looked up to see Judge John T. Raulston entering with
a Bible and a copy of the state statutes in one hand
and a fan in the other. He took his seat beneath a huge
sign which directed "Read your B1blc daily."
Judge Raulston shed h1s coat right away and the
various attorneys followed suit. The court was opened
with a prayer which was customary.
Darrow obJected VIOlently and got into a heated
argument with the prosecution. Everyone in the
packed courtroom was getting what the) had Cl..lme
for-a battle of lawyers. The defendant was hardly
noticed.
"Your honor. I've practiced law for forty years and
never before heard God called in to referee a trial,"
Darrow directed to the bench. "Because of the nature
of th1s case we do not cons1der it fair or suitable. It's
not a church service It's a court trial. It's unfair particularly because the case has a rehgious asp~ct."
"If we arc to begin each day wtth a prayer then
they should be given by mmisters of diffcr~nt fnith~

"Do you know anything about

"No, I don't want to know nothing about it," was a typical

Teil tips to increase your wealth in '96
The New Year is the ideal time
to take stock of your investment
goals and accomplishments, and
adJUSt your approach ro increase
the return on your investments. The
Kentucky Soctety of CPAs has ten
easy tips for fine-tuning your
wealth-butlding strategies for next
year and beyond.
•Look ahead. Every year at this
time, the financ1al media spotlights
the hottest performing mutual
funds of the previous year.
Unfortunately. past performance
doesn't always translate into future
success. Instead, look for investments that promise long-term
growth and income.
•Go abroad. Investing outside
the U.S. can both diversify and
enhance your portfolio. Bear in
mind that investing globally can be
tricky. Generally, one way to
reduce your risk when you invest
globally is to buy shares of a mutual fund that invests in international
securities.
•Average out. Dollar-cost averaging is a smart way to invest.
Here's how it works. You make an
investment in a stock or mutual
fund of a fixed dollar amount at
regular intervals. For example, you
make a $100 an vestment on the
15th of every month. (Most mutual
funds will gladly arrange to deduct
a preset amount from your paycheck, checkmg account, or
money-market fund.) Your $100
automatically buys more shares
when the market is low and fewer
shares when pnces arc htgh. This
strategy has the effect of averaging
out the price you pay-so you'll
never pay only the highest or lowest price.
•Buy direct. Now that more
companies are wilhng to sell their
stock shares directly to shareholders, you can avoid costly broker
commissions. Exxen, Dial, and
W.R. Grace are among the "name
brand" companies that sell directly
to shareholders Some companies
will even automate your investment
program by deducting a set amount
from your bank account each
month. When you decide to sell,
most companies will process your
transaction for about $10.
•Reinvest dividends. Dividend
reinvestment is an easy, moneysaving way to buy more stock in a
company. Instead of opting for a
divtdend check, the company reinvests your dividends to purchase
more of its stock. As a bonus, many
companies also may give you a discount on the price of the stock you
buy through reinvestment.
•St1ck with it. Don't let shorttenn market swings sway you off
course. To make money in the stock
market, investors need to stay
mvolved long enough to offset the
lows with periods of outstanding
returns. The trick IS to allocate your
assets in line with your financial
goals, and then stick to that allocation regardless of short-term market fluctuations.
•Look into real estate. In addition to securities, consider investing in real estate. One way to make
such an investment is through a real
estate investment trust (REIT)-a
type of closed-end fund that invests
in diversified portfolios of residential and commercial properttes.
REITS, which issue shares that
trade on stock exchanges, give you
the opportumty to invest in real
estate without the problems of
management and poor liquidity that
come with buying properties directly. But be careful-rising interest
rates could dampen protitability.
•Take
reasonable
risks.
Allocating your assets among a
wide range of inflation-rcststant
vehicles can help you mmimize the
risk of loss. If you're investmg for
a long-term goal like retirement,
time also is on your stde. You
should be able to ride out the intermediate ups and downs in the market and still come out ahead. Keep
in mind if you try to avoid risk altogether by pullmg your money only
in the safest investments, you run
the risk of not earning enough to
beat infla~ion.
•Know the costs. Market risk is
a given, but there are other investment-related costs that have nothing to do with risk-commissions,
markups. and management fees.
Because these costs are not always
obvious, it's important to ask about
them· before investing, and include
these fees when calculating the
return on your investment.
•Don't overlook taxes. Keep in
mind that many of your investment
decisions will have tax ramifications. To help you make the most of
your investments and minimize the
tax unpact on any gains. it's w1se to
consult a CAP or another tax adviser.

Shirla Wells has jotned the
ranger staff at U. S . Anny Corps of
Engineers project, Dewey Lake.
Shirla and her husband Paul hail
from Louisa, in Lawrence County.
Wells is attending Morehead
State University in Morehead,
majoring m recreation with a minor
in criminology. She will be graduaung with a bachelors degree in
December. The new ranger's duties
at Dewey will include lake and land
patrol, water safety education, law
enforcement act1vittes and the management of the natural resources.
Shirla enjoys the outdoors and
horseback riding.
Imagine if you will: inflation
peaked at 12 percent in the 70s and
6 percent in the 80s. What if it
peaked at 3 percent in this cycle?
There is a bond market buying
opportumty coming up, we think,
and last week we moved 5 percent
from stocks to bonds in our Capital
Apprec1ation guidelines.
The economy's slowdown a
decade ago was centered m manufacturing while the consumer
began to fund consumption via a
decade of debt building. In the
meantime, not only have the level
of mortgage and installment debt
increased 60 percent as a percent
of mcomes but today mortgages
outstanding are at record levels
when compared with the value of
the underlying pwperties.
This time the weakness will be
in the consumer sector. The CPI
for apparel is now down 3 percent
year on year and services prices
are g1ving out across a broad spectrum.
The weakness in bonds ironically could accelerate the slowdown
in consumer activtty. It will certainly intensify the threat of pricing and margin weakness among
consumer compames Our household products model is now nega-

The Rural Economic and
Community Development Serv1ces
(RECD), also formerly known as
Farmers Ho:ne Administration
(FmHA), offers outreach efforts to
assist rural homeowners whose
houses need improvements m the
Floyd and Pike county areas.
If you own, live in the house and
need some work done on your
home, you may qualify for the low
1 percent interest rate 504 repair
loan.
To qualify, you must be verylow income, and need repairs on
your home to remove health hazards and to help make the house
more decent and safe in which to
live. This same 504 program also
offers grant assistance to homeowners who are 62 years or older and
unable to pay for the repairs on the
house.
Examples of how these funds
may be used include:
1. Provide an adequate water
supply and a sewage disposal system.
2. Insulation, storm windows,
doors and screens.
3. Repair or replacement of electrical wiring, roof, heating system,
deteriorated siding or structural
supports, inside/outside plumbing.
4. Repairs or improvements to
make a dwelling accessible to a disabled or elderly person.

in spending on household and toiletrv eoods.
Ironically selected capital
goods companies could sustain
their values in a slowdown related
stock market correction. Not only
will exports help, but these compames are only now beginning to
reap the benefits of a decade of
restructunng. Our valuation work
suggests small and mid cap capital
goods companies are among the
more undervalued sectors of the
marketplace.
Restructuring financia1s and
selectively, cyclicals such as airlines who can use cash flow to pay
down low quality debt, have a
unique opportunity to increase the
value of their shares during this
slowdown. The stock market
should discourage the addition of
new capacity.

Greg Hamlin, executive director

held m Bowling Green, and was
sponsored by the Kentucky
Transportation Cabinet in conjunction with the Kentucky Public

State's tourism agency
now has a new name
The state's tourism agency now
has a new name that emphasizes
its economic development mission.
The Tourism Cabinet is now the
Kentucky Tounsm Development
Cab1net, Secretary Ann Latta
announced Thursday. Gov. Paul
E. Patton recently issued an executive order renaming the agency.
"Tourism and travel are critical
to the state's economy," Patton
said 10 his executive order.
Changing the cabtnet's name will
"greatly assist and enhance the
state's efforts and the general pubhe in the further development and
enhancement of the tourism and
travel industry."
exploited and our intention is to
focus on the CATV companies.
We anticioate a market which
corrects rotationally. Markets outside the U.S. have a greater likelihood of outperforming as we move
into 1996.
Several of the larger markets in
Europe offer much the same expo~
sure as does the U.S. to strong
global franchise companies undergoing profit improvement and
restructurings.
A final note. You may remember that our steel industry model
moved negative in March of 1994
as the momentum (second differential) of steel scrap prices gave
out. It has subsequently moved
positive again. Increasingly the
low dollar may allow sectors of
manufacturing to limit the effects
of slowdown.
Mr. Schultz is a financial consultant with Merrill Lynch in the
Huntington, West Virginia office
and resides in Hurricane.
The new name underscores
tourism's role in the state's economy. Latta said. Tourism is the
state's third-largest industry and
has an annual economic impact of
$7.1 billion. It is also the secondlargest employer, supporting
145,000 jobs. She noted that the
cabinet name change was a key
recommendation of the state's
tourism development master plan.
"This is an 1mportant step that
signifies Gov. Patton's commitment to the further growth of
Kentucky's vital tourism industry," Latta said. "I am very pleased
that the econom1c impact of
tourism and travel now tS reflected
in our agency's name."

on a retirement plan for SVTS.
SVTS has managed to pay off its
transit facility and is in the process
of completing a new maintenance
facility for its fleet of thirty-one
vehicles. A two-way radio system
has been put in place with a radio in
each vehicle. SVTS traveled over
1,000,000 miles and provided over
100,000 rides last year, a 50 percent
increase from the previous year.
These accomplishments were made
while SVTS lowered its rates for
non-emergency

Hamlin explains that the award is
the result of great team effort and
hard work and congratulates each
employee and passenger of SVTS.

The Flo)d County Times
Jack May's War
Editor's Note: The follmdng is
an e:xcerpt from Robert Perf)' 's
booJ.. "Jack Maw;' War."
Adjutant Ed.ward 0 Guerrant's
diary shows that Humphrey
Marshall's regiments came into
Kentucky by way of Whitesburg.
ll From there they moved north into
Knott County and came down the
Lickmg River. Leading the advance
was Colonel Henry Giltner's 4th
Kentucky Cavalry. Guerrant tells us
that on the evening of March 19th.
while Marshall's headquarters bat·
talion was threadmg 1ts way down
the steep banks of the Licking
River, "The General. the Guide,
Bullock, Sandford, Nate Rogers all
went over the bank-horses and
all."' Fortunately everyone escaped
• injury except Mr. Sandford. When
they reached Licking Station, two
scouts rode up and announced that a
company of Yankee cavalry was
camped at Salyersville.
Seeking shelter from the rain,
Guerrant spent the night of March
19th stretched out on the floor of "a
greasy log cabin" belongmg to a
man named Puckett. It was perched
on "the apex of a perpendicular hill,
where if a fellow stepped three feet
out the door. he would pick himself
up about thirty feet [below]."
Several other officers slept in the
loft. While he was snoring away,
someone accidently dislodged a
board and it fell down and hit him
on the head.
On the following day, Marshall
learned, to his considerable sur·
prise, that two thousand Yankee
cavalry
were
camped
at
Hammonds' Mill, a place on the
river five miles below Salyersville.
In order to attack a force of this
size, he needed to assemble his
• ~command. Taking out his map, he
decided to collect his force at Big
Meadows, located five mtles south
of Salyersville. To accomplish this
he ordered Colonel Guerrant to take
five men and ride to Mrs. Gardner's
farm near the town, where he could
scout the enemy and communicate
with Giltner, Clay and Johnson.
This battle never materialized.
On the morning of March 21st,
whtle Cloke's men were marching
towards Mount Sterling. Marshall
learned that the Federals were
retreating toward!) Hazel Green. By
then it had stopped raining.
• "Delightful day," wrote Guerrant
that evening. "General and
Company came to Mrs. Gardner's
this morning. Captain Jessee's company caught up. 4th Kentucky
moved down the opposite bank of
Licking. Enemy two thousand
strong with four pieces of artillery
moving towards Hazel Green.
Colonel Johnson nine miles off to
the left. Clay fourteen mi1es to the
left on Quicksand."'
Shortly before dusk on March
21st. one of Colonel Clay's companies caught up with the Federals
near Hazel Green. On the following
• day Guerrant recorded· "At five
a.m. a courier from Colonel Clay
announced that he had met 170 of
the enemy eight miles below here.
Lost Moses Stull killed and Myers
shot through the mouth-both of
Captain Everett's company. One
wounded man (mortally) left on the
field, by the enemy, who reported
six others carried off. Night put an
end to the conflict."
When Marshall learned of the
flight, he ordered Clay and Johnson
to hold their position until Giltner
could reinforce them. On March
23rd Guerrant wrote: "Early yesterday morning Colonel Giltner, with
the General and his staff, moved off
towards Hazel Green. All rof us]
"went merry as a marriage bell,
though we were marching towards
our Enemy." Several hours later, a
scout rode up with the news tMtthe
Yankees had struck their camp and
left the area. At that point Marshall
ordered his men to return to
Salyersville.
This decision greatly disappointed Edward Guerrant and the
other officers on Marshall's staff.
"With the most downfallen countenances and hearts," he wrote, "the
whole Command turned back. Such
is life.'' Several hours later, after a
lunch consisting of "a little meal
ground for bread," the men formed
ranks and set out for Louisa. ··we
started in the rain, after bidding our
good friends at Mrs. Gardner's
goodbye, among them Misses
Emma Gardner & sister & Miss
Kate Burns."
The bridgade spent the night of
March 23rd at Oil Fork, or presentday Oil Springs. On the following
day they passed through Flat Gap.
''Went up or down Mud Lick,
Laurel Fork of Paint, Big Paint, and
various other muddy, sandy, rapid,
rocky mountain streams, full of
quicksand which occassionally
nearly swallowed up both horse and
rider." On Big Blaine Creek the
men stopped for dinner at the farm
of Mr. Claib Swetnam, "a real, genuine Southern man. The family
were generous beyond degree to the
rebel soldiers, the first big crowd of
them they had ever seen.
Everything went free, home-made
sugar, molasses, corn, etc."
On the night of March 24th,
Marshall's headquarters battalion
camped at the farm of Mr. Asbury
Hawes, located fourteen miles west
of Louisa. About four a.m. the following morning, while the General
was still sleeping. a courier rode up
and announced that Marsha1l's
advance guard, coming within eight
miles of Louisa, had run into a company of Yankee cavalry. "Both ftred
and fell back, it being very dark. No
loss on our side. One of the Enemy
found dead in the road this morning
and another grave found near by."
Major Tenney, commander of the
guard, placed his men in a defensive position on a hill and sent
couriers back asking for reinforcements. ''Colonels Clay and Johnson
were ordered forward with their
battalions. Colonel Giltner and
Captain Jessee followed on."
Skipping breakfast, Marshall
and his staff officers quickly
mounted their horses and hit the
road. When they got within eight
miles of Louisa, they came upon
Colonel Johnson and his men skirmishing with the enemy. "We rode
upon a point to get a better view,
and a saucy vidette [a mounted sentinel) fired a ball just over our
heads. Sought the friendly cover of
our good old Mother Earth by dodg·
ing behind the point."
Since they were a mounted
infantry regiment, Johnson's men
dismounted before they began their
attack. Deploying on a broad front
over relatively level ground, they
soon began driving the Yankees
back towards Louisa. As the skirmishers advanced, they stumbled
over rough roads and fields of corn
and wheat. The Federals, after they
had retreated a mile or so, decided
to make a stand at a place called
Smokey Valley. There they formed
a line on the opposite side or a large
clearing. By this time, Giltner's
men and Clay's men had jmned
Johnson's men in the attack.
When the Confederates reached
the clearmg, Marshall called up two
companies of Clay's battalion and
ordered them to attack the Federals
on their right and lefl nanks. Then
he called up Alexander's and
Whitaker's sabre companies of the
4th Kentucky and ordered them to
charge the center of the line. Then,
wishing to show his men that he
was as brave as they were, he JOined
Giltner's men as they galloped
towards the line:
"The General most imprudently
accompanied the squadron as they
advanced at the double quick
against an enemy that might have
raked their advance for half a mile
with their rines. Fortunately for us,
[they were soon] scampering off
towards town-some two hundred
or three hundred in number."
During the 1863-65 period,
Louisa was the mam Union stronghold in the Big Sandy Valley. Its
garrison, commanded by Brigadier
General Julius White, was com·
posed of John Dils' 39th Kentucky

For the fifth year Harkins
Mineral Associates donated money
to buy needed coats, shoes, and
clothes for the children at the Betsy
Layne Elementary School at
Christmas time.
This past year's donation of
nearly $5,000 helped more than 100
children have a happier and warmer
Christmas.
The employees of Harkins
• Mineral
Associates,
Delene
Robinette, Deborah Boyd, and
Frank Maynard, collected names
from the teachers, along with sizes
and a list of toys the children wanted most for Christmas.
They then made purchases from
the local stores, where they
received some discounts and lots of
assistance.
Briana Boyd, as Santa's helper,
compiled the enormous toy list for
each of the children and helped
shop, bag, and distribute the chil·
dren 's requested Wish items.
W. Scott Harkins, a General
Partner from Lexington, was on
hand as Santa. He traveled from
~ room to room handmg out toys to
all the younger children and warm
festive greetings for everyone.
Jn addition to the donation by
Harkms Mmeral Associates the fol-
Rice's First Squadron Ohio
Volunteer Cavalry. and C. S.
Rogers' lOth Kentucky Cavalry-a
force of approximately a thousand
men. The men were protected by
the ramparts and parapets of Fort
Btshop. located on the town's high·
est and steepest hill.
During their advance on Louisa,
Marshall's officers had been confident of victory. Their mood
changed, however, when they
reached Fort Bishop. Raising their
field-glasses, they studied the position and debated how to attack it.
"There was no way of getting at the
Enemy," says Guerrant, "except by
climbing the h1gh hill on which they
were posted." While they were
studying the fort, General White
was studying them. White's report
reads as follows:
'"The enemy appeared 1n sight,
just outstde the range of my guns, at
about 3 p.m. on the 25th, and, after
reconnoitering my position, went
into camp. Dunng the night of the
25th, desultory firing was kept up
between the outposts, the enemy, as
I supposed, endeavoring to effect
lodgement as near as possible on
the right flank of my line, with a
view to a general attack at daylight
on the 26th No demonstration having been made, however, I ordered
a reconnaissance, which showed
that the enemy had retired."

Pointers For
Parents
(NAPS)-What's not to
love about a birthday?
Children Jove the gifts and
cards and are excited
about the chance to celebrate with friends and
family.
Make your child's celebration memorable by
usmg the following party
pointers for parents:
• To keep things manageable, match the number of guests to the age of
the child; three children at
age three. ten at age ten.
• Unless there's an outside activity involved, a
short party ( 1-3 hours) is
better.
• Constder your child's
interests and plan a party
around them-a cooking
party for a junior baker, a
nature walk for a budding
naturalist, a pool party or
sports actJvtty for a child
bursting with energy.
• Liven up a traditional
indoor party with a theme
and adapt standard games
to fit. Check your library
for party ideas.
For example, a child
might like a flower party
in which guests play
games like flower tag (the
one who's it is a bee) and
eat from flowery patterned
plates. Or a pirate party
where guests hunt for treasure (hide and seek) and
find foil wrapped coins.
• Some parties make
food the marn themewhether it's a Mexican
dmner, a backyard barbecue or an English tea
party. On the mvitation,
parents can write "lunch is
served"-or droner or
breakfast if that's what
they're serving.
• Cake and ice cream
are the crowning glory of
any child's party~ven if
excitement often dulls
their appetites. Make your
own to fit the theme or
buy one. Some children
prefer cupcakes.
• Party favors can be
useful items like decorated penctls, small toys.
candy or stickers. Small
gift bags make excellent
goody bags for small party
favors.
Simplify your shoppmg
by getting everything you
ca.n in one place. Everythmg you need-invitations. favors to stuff in
goody bags, thcmcd paper
plates, tablecloths and
other paper goods, gifts,
and of course birthday
cards-can be found at
stores carrying American
Greetings products.

Sunshine
Lines
by
Beverly
Carroll
Senior citizens, the last two
weeks 1n your Sunshine Lines column you've learned about several
programs that are still operating to
assist older Americans and the
poor in our region.
Unfortunately, you also learned
that some programs senior cit1zens
depended on in the past have been
eliminated completely.
Likewise. you learned that
many programs. though still operational today. cannot do as much for
older people as they once did
because the funding that supported
them has been drastically cut.
Though there IS less money now
to fund these services, there are
now many more people needing
them .
'
When I worked as your Benefits
Counseling Coordinator, some of
the saddest stories I heard were the
ones where some senior citizens
were having to spend $200, $300,
and $400 a month for prescribed
medications. Others-so many
others- had prescriptions they
couldn't get filled because they
couldn't afford them. Many, many,
many of you have to decide each
day whether to buy life-sustaining,
nourishing food. or life-sustaining
medications.
You tell me how a senior citizen, living alone, on a fixed
income of around $458.00 a month
can afford $300.00 a month for
medication, pay rent even if he or
she lives in HUD housing, buy groceries, and pay for the bare essentials such as cheap, off-brand laundry detergents and bath soap?
Carol Napier, the semor paralegal at APPALRED, and your present
Benefits
Counseling
Coordinator, feels the same pain I
experienced when she works with
those of you who are faced with
similar dilemmas.
Here are a few suggestions that
might help some of you with your
struggle.
I. Tell your doctor that you
can't afford the medications Don't
assume that he or she knows you
can't afford it.
2. Ask for "free samples " Most
pharmaceutical companies supply
doctors with medications they can
dispense to their patients without
charge.
3. Ask your doctor if there 1s a
generic drug compatible to the one
he/she prescribed for you. If so,
ask the doctor to write you a prescription for the cheaper one.
you feel honored when they do.
And, above all, I hope you have the
courtesy to say, "Thank you. I really appreciate it that you do th1s for
senior citizens."
6 . Ask your doctor if he/she
knows of an over-the-counter medication that can help you. There are
several over-the-counter medications available today that were
once prescription medicines. Ask
his or her advice on trying one of
these medications.
7. If you are prcscnbcd a med-
4. Ask your doctor if another
pharmaceutical company makes a
similar drug that would cost you
less but will give you the same
results.
5 Ask for semor citizen discounts. Be kind about it. Retailers
don't have to offer them, but many
do. (I saw a tee shirt once that read:
"I'm a senior citizen Give me m)'
damn discount.") Th1s appalled
me. Senior citizens, I hope you
don't feel like anyone has to give
you a discount. I hope, instead, that
medication situation with her.
There arc some federal programs
that will provide medications free
of charge to senior citizens and
indigent people.
Many of you reading this today,
who arc having difficully affording
prescribed medications, will find
some of these suggestions helpful
if you put them into practice.
Others reading this, who qualify,
will learn that Carol can help you
get free mcd1cattons through the
federal pharmaceutical programs. ~

New super seeks freeze on
hiring, spending and travel
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Floyd County's new superintendent wasted no time adjusting to
the weather, announcing Tuesday
that a hiring, spending and travel
freeze is on in the school system.
Superintendent John Balentine,
in h1s first meeting as superintendent. told board members that the
freeze was necessary because of
the dire financial condition of the
district.
"As an addendum to the (deficit
reduction) effort, I'd ask the board
to declare a hiring freeze immediately," Balentine announced Tues-
day. ·'I'd also ask to declare a
spending freeze, not to spend
money for Jtcms we don t need.
I'm not saymg we' ve been doing
that.ljust want to run up a red flag.
'Tdalso ask for a travel freeze."
Balentine continued. "No one is to
go outside the district for a meeting
or activity unless it is a state required meeting. TI1ose three requests come to the board to signal
.to the community that we are serious about this mauer and to get the
system back on solid financial
ground."
Board attorney Phil Damron informed Balentine that the board
could not vote to levy the freezes
mit Engineering, sa1d he would discuss "';th R & S the relocation of
the waste water treatment plant on
the slle to minimtze smells, but said
des1gn plans arc almost complete.
"A lot of things have already
happened for us to say we've
changed our minds," Burl W. Spurlock. cha1rman said.
According to Sykes, the project
is about a month behind schedule,
because the ttem was not on Tuesday's special meeting agenda.
'[t s t1ot nn agenda ttem, but 1
would say that Dr. Balentine, as superintendent, has the sole power to
hire and approve out of district
travel," Damron said. "As for a
spending freeze, there is a limit on
spending in excess of $1.000 prior
to board approval. We can discuss
it. but we can't vote on it."
Balentine said he thought those
issues could be voted on because it
related to the district's deficit reduction plan which was on the
agenda.
"I did think we could pass 1t to
say to the community what we can
do regarding the issue," Balentine
said. "It wi 11 be a team effort. a
family effort and everybody will be
asked to make recommendations
and sacrifices.''
''I don't see anybody throwing
rocks," Damron joked.
Balentine's freeze requests came
after a report by Don Wallen
C.P.A., regarding a 1995 audit of
the district's finances.
Wallen explamed that the system received $797,000 less that expected in state monies and spent
over $600,000 more than budgeted.
"You take the $797,000 decrease
and combme that with $618,000
that was spent and there is very lit-

• Sewer plant location is causing a
stink for developn1ent authority
by Pat ti M. Clark
Staff Writer
•
Nobody wants a sewer plant in
their backyard. Not even when it
means a local company is expanding and growing.
Pete Lemaster expressed his
concern Wednesday about the construction of a waste water treatment
plant on an industnal site in Ivel.
The site, developed by the Aoyd
County Development Authority, is
the location of R & S Truck Body's
new plant.
A waste water treatment plant
will be built on the site as well to
handle the treatment of sewage
from the plant
"Nobody wants to live next to a
sewer plant," Lemaster said. "I'm
worried about the potcntiol smell,
and later the possibility of bacteria
getting out. what with children
around and all."

Floyd County's Board of Edu·
cation is expected to meet next
week to review a deficit reduction
plan being developed to deal with a
$1 million budget shortfall projected for this year.
Board members voted Tuesday
to table a vote on a current plan,
which would eliminate over 100
jobs tn the school system.
Board chairman Ray Brackett
made a motion that approval of the
plan be tabled for further study.
Board member Eddie Patton
seconded the motion and asked that
a workshop be held next week to
discuss the plan.
Brackett reminded the board
that state officials wanted the
board's plan by Friday (today) so
that state board members could review it prior to the February state
board meeting.
"We have a new leader who
needs to be familiar with the
process and sell us on it," Parton
said ''Frankfort is going to have to
understand that we have to take
time to look at it."
The board's dec1sion to defer
action on the plan showed no disrespect to interim superintendent
Ed Allen, who developed the plan,
Brackett commented.
Balentine, who was hired January 4, hasn't had ample time to revtew the district's finances or the
plan, Brackett said.
After Tuesday's meeting, Patton
said that Balentine had nothmg to
do with the current reduction plan
and be felt the new superintendent
should study it.
"He needs to study the plan and
come up with a plan that he can
live with and benefit the children,
both," Patton said.
Balentine said he felt state officials would understand the situation and allow the board a few
extra days to submit the plan.
"I believe the state Department

A Martin woman was killed and

injured in an acc1dent on U.S. 23
Thursday rooming.
Denise Wallen, 26, died at
Highlands Regional Medical Center at II :50 a.m. due to multiple injuries
Her husband, Anthony Wallen,
also suffered multiple injuries in
the accident. His condition was not
available Thursday afternoon, according to a spokesman at Cabell
Huntington.
Their four-year-old daughter
Cheyenne had internal injuries and
a broken pelvis and was listed in
serious condition in the pediatric

All three had to be cut from
their vehicle by the Floyd County
Rescue Squad.
The accident occurred about
10:07 a.m. in front of the Holiday

prepared by Anthony Ca<;tle with.
the Prestonsburg Police Department, Mrs. Wallen drove into the

The driver of the coal truck,

The cost of pun.:hasing eqUipment and construction changes to
accommodate that equipment could
use up most of a contingency fund
set aside by the Mountain Arts Center for construction of the building.
But fundraising for the project
has yet to be completed so additional monies could be forthcoming.
"There arc all types of equipment that needs to be included in
this," Bob Meyer, MAC executive
director. told members of the Public
Properties Commission Tuesday.
At th~ meeting the commJssion
approved the purchase of about
$357.201 in equipment for the arts
faclllly. !'hat amount is about
$250,000 more than the commission had originall> antic1pated
spending for equipment, including
lighting and sound eqUipment.
The commission also approved
about $75,000 in change orders for
construction changes, a large portion of which is to accommodate
the changes in equipment in such
areas as lightmg and sound. A video
editing room was also added to the
proJect at a cost of $10.000.
Some of the members questioned the changes to the project
and the associated costs, especially
a $7,000 wiring change and the
video room.
"This is what we've told them
we wanted,"' Paul Hughes, commission chairman, said "If we don't
want to make the changes, we don't
need to buy the equipment."
Members agreed they wanted
the equipment especially the lights
and the video room and that the\
might as well do it right to sta~t
\\ ith.
"We want to be able to handk
any lype of show," Btlly Jean Os
horne, founder of the Kentucky
Opry and a member of the commisSIOn. sa1d.
The changes include a different
type of electrical w1nng in some
areas to facilitate the use of stageshow lights for pcrfonnances.
To help explain the Situation.
Meyer presented a budget and contract status document to show
members the status of budgeted and
contracted funds.
Some of th1s has alread} been
done, some has yet to be approved,"
he said. "This is a realistic picture
of what we'll look like \\ hen all is
satd and done.'
Some items. such us mtercst expense and legal fees have come •n
under budget so far.
While the changes to the building put that poruon of the budget
only $18,478 over the budgeted
amount for the buildmg, the purchase of equtpment is about
$250,000 over budget, eatmg into
the $300.000 contingency fund and
leaving $117.029 1n the original
budget for the butlding.

were employed at Prestonsburg

Under a change in state Jaw in
1994, parent rcpresent:ttJves who
have relatives employed in the

Drugs--a not guilty plea was entered on the
felony charge of possession of a
controlled substance.
County auomey pro tern John
Mann asked that .t $50,000 bond be
set because Gardner has a prior
cnminal record and a felony con~
viction.
District Judge James Allen followed Mann's recommendatiOn and
set a $50.000 or 10 percent cash
bond and -.et a preliminary hearing
for January 24.
After deputies raided his home.
Gardner filed a c1villawsuit against

that officers broke 1nto his home

million in punitive damages and
$100,000 in general damages.
When that suit was filed, Sheriff
Paul Hunt Thompson said that officers executed a valid search warrant and found some drugs,
weapons
and
paraphernalia.
Thompson added that Newsome
didn't participate in the ra1d and no
roadblock was conducted.
One person at the scene was
arrested on charges of alcohol
intoxication and disorderly conduct. Another person was arrested
on the roadway near Gardner's
home for driving under the influence.
Newsome was later dropped
from the lawsuit and filed a coun·

Newsome said that Gardner had

contractor, Kca-Ham Contracting.
"They've used up about 27 percent of their contract time," Sykes
said. "They feel they can make up

about that."
Sykes asked for payment from
the development authority for the
contractor and for Summit's work
on the project and was told it is "in

rloyd Circuit Judge John David
Caudill agreed with Brown last year
and ruled that the law was unconstitutional.
State
education
officials
appealed Caudill's decision.
The state Supreme Court ruled
that Kentucky's General Assembly
has the sole power to determine
how Kentucky's Education Reform
Act is designed and implemented.
Brown could not be reached
Thursday to comment on the court's
decision.
Risner's term on Prestonsburg
High School's council expired in
June and he did not seek re-election. Tussey continues to serve on
the middle school council.
S)'kes said he is concerned about
the contractor carrying the project
without payment because of his
financial status.
In other action Tuesday. the
authority discussed the employment of an executive director. ''If

we have to have one," Spurlock
said.

appomtment for "upcnntcndent.
We can't rush th1s kmd of thing.
It's too important."
Members of the Floyd County
Education Associallon asked the
board at Tuesday 's meeting to
delay any action on the plan unlll
it has been reviewed by educators
and parents.
Patly Murphy spoke on behalf
of FCEA and said that the group
has not received many answers
concerning the diMrict's finances.
"Because the reducuons that

important that everyone in this

our future," Murphy smd . "Up to
this point, that has not happened .

The board took no action on the
group's request.
Also Tuesday, board member
Ursal Ray Wilcox questioned the
legality of a special board meeting
held on December 28.

meeting agenda until they arrived

which Wilcox attended, board
members met in closed session for
two hours discussmg superinten·
dent applicants No action was
taken at the meeting and the board
directed board attorney Phil
Damron to further investigate the
candidates.
Damron told Wilcox that he
was correct that no agenda had
been furnished to members prior
to the meeting, but that an objection to an Open Meetings Law violation is usually made to void
action taken at that meeting.
"Technically. you are correct
that the statutory requirement for
an agenda was not given,"
Damron said. "But, there was no
action taken."
Wilcox seemed satisfied with
Damron's comments.
In other business:
• Derrick Hicks of Middle
Creek told board members that the
Prestonsburg High School renova·
tion project should be stopped
until questions are answered

stop the project, he would do so.
"Someone will answer on this and
I won't give up."

dropped and there's a million dollar

Wallen explained that it was difficult to foresee the deficit because
aud1tors do not review the financial
condition of a district until well
after the year ends.
"You can't put the blame in any
one area," Wallen said. "As far as
questions for the current situation,
I'm not the best person to ask."
The school system should maintain a contingency fund which
would provide enough money to
operate the district for at least 10
days, Wallen said. That does not
include having a two percent contingency to handle emergencies, he

Balentine said that the loss in state
funds was entirely related to an
error in projecting the district's
enrollment. He added that enrollment projections would be very
low for the coming year so if
employees were needed, they could
be added, not already hired in anticipation of an increase in students.
"We're in serious financial difficulty,"
Balentine
sa1d.

Drug trafficking charges against
a Weeksbury man were sent to a
Floyd
County
Grand
Jury
Wednesday after a preliminary
hearing m district court.
Darrell Bryant, 15. was arr~'sted
December 22 along with Charles
McCauley. 10, and Paul ''Solo"
Rogers. 30. by Mountain Area
Drug Task Force agents during a
raid at Rogers' Weeksbury home.
Bryant was charged with trafficking in a controlled substance,
cocaine. and conspiracy to traffick
in a controlled substance after
agents found 32 grams of cocaine
at the home.
Task force agent Steve Toy testified Wednesday that a lab analysis
of the white powder found at
Rogers' home showed it was
cocaine. A confidential informant
gave officers statements outhning
the alleged drug conspiracy, Toy
said. and Rogers also gave police a
statement implicating Bryant
Bryant had over $3,000 in cash
on him at the time of the arrest, Toy
said. The informant told police that
Bryant would distribute the drugs
to McCauley and Rogers, who m
tum would sell it. After McCauley
and Rogers took their cut of the
money obtained through the drug
sales, Bryant would receive the
remainder, Toy testified.
Bryant's
attorney,
Ned
Pillersdorf, tried to obtain the name
of the informant from Toy. but
District Judge James Allen sustained an objection by county attorney pro tern John Mann who said it
could endanger that person by
revealing the name.
Pillersdorf did get Toy to reveal
that Rogers gave agents a statement
that implicated
Bryant and
McCauley in a consp1racy to sell
drugs in Floyd and surroundmg
counties
Pillersdorf commented to the
judge that "the commonwealth's
evidence is underwhelming."
Judge Allen ruled probable
cause was established and referred
the case to a grand jury.
Rogers' case was waived to a

defender Kristi Gray and Judge
Allen referred McCauley's case to
a grand jury earlier this month.

Editor:
I understand there is a
Sumbo/Stumbaugh/Stambaugh
family reunion each Labor Day
weekend, in Allen. According to
my information it is held in
Stumbo Park and people come
from Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, and Virginia, as
well as Kentucky.
I have been researching our
family name and have discovered,
that even though, I was born in
West Virginia, I have deep roots in
Johnson and Floyd counties. My
father was John Henry Stumbo,
born in West Virginia. His parents
were Christopher Columbus and
Minnie Belle (Ramey) Stumbo,
both born in Virginia. C. C.'s parents were Joseph and Mary
Elizabeth (Rice) Stumbo, of
Johnson County. Joseph's mom
and dad were Sylvester and

Stumbaugh/Stumbo. His father
was Philip but his mother's name
is unknown to me. Philip's father
and mother were Phillip and
Elizabeth of Pennsylvania or
Virginia.
I hope my information about
the reunion is correct and that one
of the organizers will contact me at
my address or by phone at (206)
941-2254 or by FAX at (206) 9463539. If, however, my information
is not correct and there is no
reunion, I would be very pleased
to hear from anyone of the lineage
I have stated.

Tracy that they would
never find the shells by
theirselves. Then Budgy
overheard me telling her
where the shells were.
Then Budgy told Roho
where the shells were, so
he went and got them.
Now, I am in the sixth

I still remember how
my uncle Budgy got
shot. I thought he was in
a lot of pain.
About three months

died in a house fire. At

Dobber was really in the
house or not. The police
came and took my uncle
Brian away to jail
because he hit the police
officer.
The next day a man

got him out of jail. I
could not go to the funeral because I was hurt to
bad.
I will always remember Dobber because he
sometimes cut his hair

did weird things a lot.

Kentucky to take part in nationwide
School Board Recognition Month
To salute their work on behalf of
children and public education,
Kentuckians are invited to take part
in the first-ever national salute to
the contributions of local boards of
education members.
January 1996 has been proclaimed
as
School
Board
Recognition Month by the National
School
Boards
Association
(NSBA), the Kentucky School
Boards Association (KSBA), the
Kentucky Chamber of Commerce
and various local governments.
Some states prevtously had honored
local school boards at other times of
the year, but the NSBA delegate
assembly endorsed a coordinated
recog01tion last year.
Kentucky's observation will fol·
low the theme ''Vbion for our
Children I
Voice
for our
Community - Kentucky's School
Boards"
"These two ideas embody the
dedication and bard work of the
nearly 900 local school board members :.en tng tn Kentucky,'' said
KSBA President Anna Dean
Hammond, a 22-year member and
chairperson of the Caldwell County
Board of Education.
"Just as we recognize our teachers and other school professionals.
it's appropriate that the contributions of board of education members are acknowledged," said
Hammond. "'Having visited dozens
of communities and local board
meetings thts year it's my experience that most board members willingly accept the challenges of their
office without expecting to be
pratscd.
"Bur we wholeheartedly believe
that a little pat on the ba~.:k is due to
these community leaders who more
often than not arc remembered for
having to say a responstble 'No'
when the easy or popular thtng
would be to say 'Yes ....
Hammond satd KSBA will support local recognition events With a
statewide public av. are ness progr::un on the contributions of
Kentucky's school board members
The Prichard Committee Will
receive $180.000 from the New
York-based Dana Foundation to
look at its own h1story and work
and to look at similar volunteer
groups in other states to see how
they can be expanded and made
more effective.
"The Prichard Commtttee grew
up in Kentucky and unique to our
state," Sexton said "But there are
lessons that might apply in other
states too, and we need to study
those. We will also try to decide
what kinds of help concerned citizens in other states need to get
organized."
The grant is a follow-up to one
received last fall by Sexton, and "is
made in conjunctiOn with the
Foundation's new program in education. which seeks to advance the
work of selected Dana Award winners and finalists m helping them
develop and dissemmate thetr work
nationally," said Stephen A. Foster.
president of the Charles A. Dana .
Foundation.
The Charles A. Dana Foundation
is a private, philanthropic organization with grant programs in health
and education.
Sexton and other members of the
Prichard Committee staff will be
joined in the Dana Foundation project by Nonn Fruchter, co-director
of the lnstttute for Education and
Social Policy at New York
Umversity, and by Rona Roberts
and Steve Kay. members of an
organizational development and
community building firm based in
Lexington.
Fruchter, Roberts, and Kay will
do much of the work on the proJeCt.
Sexton said, and ''will link us to
state and national groups wtth the
same interest
'This c:omes at an opportune
time," he said. "Interest in the public and parental role in schools is
reaching a new high. But no one
knows exactly how to mobilize it."
The Prichard Committee for
Academic Excellence was founded
in 1983 as an independent,
non-partisan group of citizens who
advocate
tmproved
schools
throughout the state. Started in
1980 as a committee of the state's
Council on Higher Education. the
group first studied and made recommendations on improving the
state's htgher education system. It
then became nn independent
group, broadening its mission to
inch,1dc improving elementary and
secondary education

night and the Bobcats \I. ere pia) ing
shorthanded as it was.
In fact, both teams were missing a
starter. Betsy Layne lost their leading
scorer Rocky Ne\',·some for one game
after a light at L.nvrcnce County last
Saturday night.
Sheldon Clark lost Scott Davis for
good when he transferred to Tolsia,
W.Va. to finish hts senior year.
Now it appears the Bobcats will be
without the services of senior center
Chris Hamilton when they host the
South Floyd Raiders in a big. btg conference game this Friday night. Also the
Cardinals will have to play their next
game wtthout Eric Marcum . Hamilton

the game which draws an automatic
one-game suspension.
The Bobcat~ had been on a roll with
a nice 7-4 record. but the fight and some
timely free throw shooting by Sheldon

past weekend. The Cardinals shot 22
free throws in the fourth quarter alone
and connected on 17.
Kevin Moore had his only field goal
a three- pomter
in the f1rst quarter -but missed one time in 12 tnes from
the charity stripe in the final stanza to
send the Cardinals home with the victory.
Moore finished with 18 po1nts to lead
all scorers. Rob Duncan tossed in 12
and Brandon Lafferty added II for the
Cards.
Willie Meade Jed Betsy Layne with
15 points. Craig Johnson, getting the
start in Newsome's absence, added 13
points and Jason Tackett scored ten.
Duncan scored six of his 12 points in
the first quarter to stake the Cardinals to
a 13-12 first-quarter lead. Wi I lie Meade
and Johnson had four points each for
Detsy Layne in the first.
Coach Junior Newsome's team carried a 23-21 lc:~d to the locker area at
the half in a low-scoring first half.
Sheldon Clark got a three pointer
from Jason James and Duncan had four
po1nts in the third period to give
Sheldon Clark a 35-34 advantage after
three quarters.
In the fourth, tempers flared and the
free throws rained as the Cardinals held
off the Bohcats for the 59-51 win .
"We had our chances to win it down
the stretch," Newsome said. "We were
playing shorthanded tonight, but that is
no excuse. We had our chances."

Betsy Layne. Chris H1cks finished with
four points and Hamilton scored three
before fouling out.

Gag order asked for in murder case
For
Your
•1nformation
by Vernon Robinson
The Marrin County Sun
NEWS TO USE
Sprihg
visitation
..
One
week
after Special
Prosecutor Luke Morgan presented
a petition to secure the attendance
of nonresident witness Garland
Johnson Jr. in the capital murder
case of Pigeon Roost resident
Timmy Maynard, defense attorney
John R. Triplett has filed a motion
to limit pretrial publicity.
Maynard, 27. is accused of
killing Jeffrey Nelson. 21, of
Johnson County, after the two men
allegedly left a Prestonsburg nightclub and went to a remote strip
mining job in Martin County.
Nelson's body was found near a
logging road JUSt off State Route
2032 in July of last year.
Morgan's petition to secure
Johnson as a wJtness states that
Johnson is a resident of Kingsport,
Tennessee and that he will be
required to test1 fy on March 19 of
this year at 9:00 a.m.
Johnson is to be reimbursed for
h1s mileage, lodging. and meals.
In a separate letter to Martin
Circuit Judge James A Knight,
Morgan states, ''Garland Johnson,
Jr., is a relative of the defendant.
"The defendant went to Mr.
Johnson's residence in Tennessee,
shortly after killing Jeffery Nelson,
and made statements to Mr.
Johnson about this murder."
Judge Knight obliged Morgan's
request and issued an order for
Johnson's attendance on the
appointed date. The Judge issued
that order and one identical to it for
Franklin McClanahan of Big Rock.
Virginia on January 4, 1996.
Morgan's letter to Judge Knight,
dated January 3, states, "Franklin
Wilson McClanahan 1s the victim
of the defendant's prior bad act,
testimony of which this court is
allowing."
The case of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky vs. Timmy Maynard
has been the subJeCt of numerous
newspaper, television, and radio
reports. All of which prompted
Tripleu to file a mpuon to limit pretrial publicity in the case at the
Martin Circuit Court Clerk's Office
on January II (last week).
In support of his motion, Triplett
agrees that freedom of the press
and freedom of speech must be preserved, but states, "They must be
exercised with an awareness of the
impact of public statements on fundamental rights, including the
rights of persons accused and
indicted to a fa1r trial by an impartial jury."
Triplett points out that Timmy
Maynard has only been charged
with the commission of a crime.
"This defendant is presumed mnocent until proven guilty by compe-
tent evidence," the Attorney states
in his motion.
Obviously concerned about
Maynard's ability to receive a fair
trial in Martin County, Triplett's
motion states, "Prejudicial statements and reports with respect to
this defendant are denying this
defendant the right to a fair trial
and are destroying his reputation.
Prior to the trial date in this matter,
any. statements issued or originating from court officials, attorneys,
and public officials in this matter
may include inaccurate or inadmissible information, and may serve to
inflame the community and undermine the right to a fair trial. In fact,
the Commonwealth has made inaccurate and inflammatory statements
to the press as to arrests, date of
indictment, charges and punishment for same."
Triplett wishes to limit the
amount of information pertaining
to the case that may be released to
the press. He states in his motion,
''The right to a fatr trial may be
endangered by public statements or
by reporting prior to trial, which
goes beyond a factual description
of the person .arrested and of the
cTJme charged, and a factual statement of the arrest and surrounding
circumstances."
Should Judge Knight sustain
Triplett's motion, the amount of
coverage surrounding the case
could be greatly reduced. As of
Tuesday Judge Knight had made no
ruling concerning Triplett's motion.
But Knight has already agreed to
have the state pay for expert DNA
tests for the defense after prosecution tests were entered into evidence by Morgan's staff.
Knight also granted a motion by
Triplett that the state pay for a special investtgator for the defense
after the McClannahan statement
was entered into the record.
McCiannahan told state police
in a sworn statement two months
ago that he had barely escaped
from Maynard after the two had
gone to a abandoned strip mine
operation in February with four
other people to "drink beer."
McCiannahan said Maynard
pulled a large knife on him and
threatened him.
Nelson died as a result of his
throat being cut, medical examiners
say.

Pike County Fiscal Court rejects
proposal to raise garbage rates
by Christopher Hunt
Appalachian News-Express
•
Pike
County
magistrates
quickly objected Monday to a
proposed 20 percent increase in
the household rate for garbage
pickup. saying Pike Countians
already have enough fees and
taxes to pay for. The increase
would have been from $10 per
month to $12.
The proposal was made by
Pike County Judge-Executive
Donna Damron because of a recommcndatton included in a study
commissioned by her in 1993.
The study was done ro evaluate the county's landfill and
garbage collection program in
the areas of economic viability
and compliance with environmental regulations .
In making the proposal,
Damron informed magistrates
the county loses a great deal of
money because a large number
of res1dents do not pay the1r
garbage bills.
Damron said since monitors
were reinstituted, they have
identifed about 2,500 such people.
The positions of solid waste
monitors were eliminated by former
Pike
County
JudgeExecutive Wayne T. Rutherford
tn 1993.
Damron said steps must be
taken to increase revenue in
order to make the garbage collectton system self-sustainmg.
adding that with the county's
rate-reduction program, the average bill for a resident ;s $7 25.
Damorn asked the court to
authorize her to require those
people receiving a rate reduction
to re-apply for the discount
every six months.
Damron made the suggestion
to avoid giving discounts to people who may have gotten a job or
better paying jobs after applymg
for the reduced rate.
In lieu of raising rates,
Damron asked the magistrates to
authorize her to take what steps
she thought were necessary to
collect on delinquent accounts.
The court voted unanimously to
give Damron that power.
Some of the proposed meth·
ods of collecting on past due
accounts include:
• promptly filing suit against
those not paying their bill
• including the fee in property
tax totals; and
• printing the names of those
not paying their bill in the local
paper.
Police looking into shooting of teen
by Jerry Pennington
The Big Sandy News
An investigation is being conducted in a Monday shooting that
killed an 18-ycar-old Lawrence
County man.
Ill.
Richard Allen of Meades
Branch near Louisa was pronounced dead at the scene
Monday afternoon by Lawrence
County Coroner Aaron Moon. He
died from a single gunshot wound
to the face Monday afternoon
Police said Allen and two
friends, ages 15 and 17, were
looking at a .410 gauge shotgun
at a home on Meadcs Branch One
of the fnends handed the gun to
Allen barrel first and the weapon
fired, striking Allen in the face.
Police were not releasing the
names of the two boys involved
because they are juveniles.
HealthNet was called out
Tuesday in case a transport was
needed, but Allen died on the
scene.
Allen was taken to Young
Funeral Home by a Lifestar
ambulance.
Kentucky State Police Public
Relations off1cer Gary Kistner
said the accident 1s still under
investigation by Detective Keith
Moore.
"For now. ifs ruled a death
investigation."
Kistner said
Tuesday. "Detective Moore will
present his f111d1ngs to a grand
JUry to see if indictments will be
issued.'' No charges have been
filed in the case.
Allen was the son of Homer
and Blanche York Allen of Louisa
and a student at Lawrence County
High School.
What will new U.S. 23 mean
to Paintsville?
More businesses and jobs,
according to Mayor Robin
Cooper.
That's why Cooper is including the area surrounding the new
highway, scheduled to open in
the spring, in an ambitious
annexation plan he hopes city
council members will soon
approve.
Cooper estimates that the
plan, which also includes annexing parts of Route 40 east of
Paintsville into the city limits,
would encompass over 1,000
acres of land and about 300 residents.
"This is just a piece of a big
puzzle that we need to address,"
Cooper said. "The big question
in this whole outlook is utilities,
particularly sewage.''
The mayor said he has asked
Paintsville
Utilities
Superintendent Jim Hopson to initiate
a feasibility study on providing
sewer service to the proposed
areas.
Areas that would be affected
by the proposal are:
• The Turner Branch area
where new U.S. 23 is under construction .
• The right side of Route 40
east and sections of Island Creek
Road that are not currently in the
city limits.
• The Paintsville Country
Cluh and golf course.
• The far end of Southside that
is presently not part of the city.
Turner Branch is the "most
important" area to the city,
Cooper said.
"There's already development
going on out there," he said,
adding that he has been told that
two hotel chains are looking to
locate near the new road.
Sewer service IS a must for
any development in that area. he
said.
"What do you do if someone
walks in and says we're going to
put in a bus1ness and there's no
sewer system?" Cooper said.
"We need to get our ducks in a
row so that won· t happen."
Surpns1ngly, the country club
and golf course are not in the city
limits, although the city has a
"vested interest"' in the area
Cooper said. The country club
annexauon plan would probably
111volve only one residence. he
sa1d
"I would want us to look at the
existing golf course boundanes
along w1th the back side adjacent
to the Big Sandy River," Cooper
said.
Most of Southside is already
in the city limits. Cooper's proposal would bring into the city
the areas currently not in the
boundaries.
"What that would do is bring
in the far end of Southside,
which IS almost a landlocked
area," he said.
The Route 40 area would be
the most difficult to annex, mainly because of the Jack of a
sewage system, Cooper said.
"That area has no sewer," he
said. "Consequently, the area on
the left side of the road is in the
city and has sewer."
One drawback to providing a
new sewer system to the area,
Cooper said, is that the state
might straighten the road in front
of the new nursing home.
''It wouldn't be a good idea to
lay sewer lines if the state is
going to come in and straighten
the road," he said.
State law spells out the procedures cities must take in order to
annex certain areas. Among the
steps are public hearings to gather input from residents.
"The only people who can
make an objection are the property owners who live 10 the property,'' Cooper said. "People who
own the property but don't live
on there cannot make an objection."
If residents oppose annexation, the mayor sa1d the city
could still proceed with the plan
by omitting residential areas.

PHS renovation project
gets initial approval
The Paintsville Board of Education decided last
Thursday, January II, to proceed with a renovation
project at Paintsville High School.
The proposed renovation moves the city closer to a
major construction project at PHS. Superintendent Paul

Board members voted to file a BG-1 form with the
state Department of Education outlining their project,
which includes complete remodeling of the middle and
high schools. The work will mclude replacing floors,
walls, cellmgs. lighting and doors.
Under the plan, the board would 1ssue a $590,000

The agony of "defeet"
ince we arc now halfway through the
first month of the new year, it's probably safe to say that many of you are
sticking to your resolutions concernmg health.
while others may have already reneged.
However, there may be a few holdouts who, like
me, are still planning on makmg resolutions that
will improve their health before the year is out. I
plan on fulfilling my reso lution as soon as I can
find the most effective way to whip my body
into shape and lose weight without the pain of
perspiration. the uncenainty of willpower and
heavy weights.
Thanks to modern technology, this may have
transpired. And it sounds too s1mple to be true.
While I was tl1pping through one of the popular weekly magazmes, l happened upon an
incredible advertisement that descnbed how one
could Jose weight simply by inserting specially
designed insoles into one's shoes. The insoles
would apply pressure to designated points on the
feet working much like acupuncture does when
applied to other areas of the body. Upon walking, the insoles would direct the proper stimuli
to the brain telling it to metabolize food differently.
"Guess what, Jean," I stated when I called my
friend. "I'm going to lose we1ght in a new innovative way."
"How's that?" she asked.
"I'm going to start walking," I replied.
"Earth to Sara. Unless you've been on Mars
for the last thirty years, walking has always been
an extremely effective way to lose weight."
"Oh, I know that. What I mean IS that I'm
trying a new method of walking and I don't even
have to change my pace."
"Again, Sara, let me say that as far as I know,
walking is done only one way- placing one
foot in front of the other.''
"I still intend to do it that way. The difference
will be in my shoes."
"Is it some type of miracle sneaker or something, like Flubber," she laughed.
"Insoles," I replied.
"Insoles? You mean like in Odor Eaters?"
"Yes, except these insoles send messages to
the brain that tell it to stop you from overeating."
"How interesting," she replied uninterestedly.
"It's the truth, Jean!" I exclaimed. These
insoles apply pressure to the soles of your feet
on the spots that keep you from eating."
"How long do you have to walk in them
before you Jose we1ght?"
"I don't know," I answered hesitantly. "It didn't say."
"Two, three miles an hour. Or maybe you JUSt
have to talk until the real soles of your shoes fall
off. Better yet, maybe you just move your feet
until your feet fall off."
Jean can laugh all she wants. but when I get
back into a size six and have a lean, trim figure,
she'll wish she'd walked a mile in my shoes.

I must admit. l was dragged to th1s movie, kicking and screaming along the way, by my gtrlfriend.
Spurred on by "How To Make An American Quilt,"
she decided she just had to see this new "chickfest."
(Please, all you feminists out there, don't skewer
me for using the tenn, "chick." I'm only a poor,
unenlightened male.) However, this film is brilliant
and has much to offer both sexes.
The movie showcases Angela Bassett, Loretta
Devine, W hitney Houston and Lela Rochon as four
affluent women living in an Arizona suburb.
Angela Bassett is the central character,
Bernadine. As the flick opens, she 1s being dumped
by her insufferable husband, a successful businessman who has decided to run off with his white secretary. Bernadine 1s feisty and she's not about to
take this lying down. At one point, she takes all her
ex-husband's belongings (Rolex watch and all),
dumps them through the sun roof of his Mercedes,
and simply lights a match to the whole thing. As
horrifying as this sounds, Bassett makes the scene
work.
Loretra Devine shmes as Glona, an overweight
woman with a gay ex-husband and a 17-year-old
son. Resigned to being single, she ultimately meets
a great guy (Gregory Hines) who moves 1n across
the street from her.
Houston and Rochon portray Savannah and
Robin, career women on the prowl. Their choices in
males, though. are d1smal. Most of the time, they
end up with married men or just plain jerks.
Forest Whttaker. so memorable in so many fine
films. such as "Good Morning. Vietnam," makes his
directorial debut here. His work here bodes well for
a bright future as a director. The perfonnances he
wrings from these lad1es arc of the highest quality.
AJI in all. I enjoyed this film as much as my girlfriend. It's worthy of four stars.

HOME TIPS
HOME DUSTING-Dusting is
a chore I hate. To make 11 cas1er. I
pull an old white conan sock over
my hand, spray the sock wnh furniture polish (instead of spraymg 1t on
the furnnure) and dust away. It
works as slick as a whistle. Wanda
W., Columb1a. S.C.
HANDY FUSE CHANGING--I blew a fuse, but my fuse
box is not labeled, so I plugged the
vacuum cleaner mto an outlet 10 the
room.
When I heard the motor running,
I knew l had the nght fuse. I saved
myself many steps Jane F.,

PERFECTPICTURE
Keeping photos all together was
.b.ard for me to do. When my children started kindergarten. l had
the1r pictures taken at school. I put
them in frames. then each year their
pictures were taken I would put
them on top of the older pictures.
This went on for several years until
they graduated.
Now I can lay out the photos
from day one until the children
graduated and can see how they've
changed through the years and still
keep them all together. Terry M.,
South Paris, Maine
KITTY FEEDING-Our cat
had a large Iilier of kitlens on our
back porch. I noticed there was an
awful lot of squalling going on at
nursing time, so I had my boys
carry all of them to the barn. but the
next day, mother and kinens were
back.
We went through this process for
several days until I went out to see
what was going on. It seems there
were more kittens than the mother
had dinners for, so she left half of
her kittens in the barn and half on
the porch.
To stop all the fighting over dinncr, she would nurse one batch,
then go <tnd feed the others.

TUNING IN
Andy Warhol said we all have
our 15 minutes of fame. But for
some people, their fame or infamy,
if )OU prefer, will be stretched to at
least one TV movie of the week.
Case in point: "The Good Doctor:
The Paul Fleiss Story,'' which will
a1r on CBS in February with veteran actor Michael Gross playing Dr.
Fleiss. Others in the cast include
Trisha Leigh Fisher, George Segal,
Cindy Pickett. and Jenmfer
Crystal. In case anyone doesn't
rccogni7e the name, Fleiss is the
physician father of Hollywood
madam, He1di FleJss, and a'pparently, was Involved with her in a
money laundering scheme.
On February 4. CBS will air
"The Boys Next Door," a
Hallmark Hall of Fame production
starnng
Mare
Winningham,
l'vhchael Jeter, Tony Goldwyn, and
Nathan Lane, who has had one
success after another since he
soared into stardom as Nathan
Detroit in the revival of "Guys and
Dolls." He went on to play a
delightfully lustful priest in the
film. "Jeffrey." His is the voice of
Timon the Meerk.at in Disney's
"The Lion King.'' Lane also costars with Robin Williams in Mike
Nichols'
upcoming
"The
Birdcage," a iemake of the hit
French flick. "Les Cage Aux
Folies."
4
Speaking of Robin Williams,
he's assuming the bills (some half
million a year) for Christopher
Reeve's continuing therapy now
that Reeve's insurance earner is
cutting off benefits to the paralyzed actor. (Incidentally, before
Reeves and Williams became stars,
they were close friends and
pledged that whoever makes it big
will always be there for the other
one.)
Mindy Cohn. who played the
rather heavy-set Natalie in "Facts
of Life," was to be groomed as
host of a new talk show being
developed by Buena Vista TV. But
now comes word that the project is
in trouble, and it may be shelved.
And if you don't see me shedding
a tear about this, it's because I feel
the airwaves are already too bloated with talk shows. As a matter of
fact, many viewers are taking
refuge from all that talk by turning
to cable.
If you can't get enough of
Chevy Chase, your hero will tum
up on The Disney Channel on
February II 1n "Man of the
House." Chevy plays a man who
wants to marry Farrah Fawcett, but
her 11-year-old son doesn't want
Chevy as his new dad. The result is
a mish-mash of events which ultimately involves a Mafia threat
against Chevy's character.
SOAP SCRAPS
Just when you thought Aaron
Spelling had run out of ideas for
new soaps, especially since several
of his last efforts including the
highly touted "Models Inc."
slipped down the ratings drain,
Tori's indefatigable daddy has
come up with another syndicated
sudser.
This one is called "Savannah."
It begins airing on the WB
Network on February 4.
The sho\V stars Robin Lively
("Chicago Hope" and "Twin
P~aks"), Jamie Luner ("Growing
Pains"). Shannon Sturges (Molly,
''Days of Our L1ves"), David Gail
(Stuart, "BH 90210"). Paul
Satterfield ("General Hospital''),
Beth Toussaint ("Melrose Place")
and Ray W1sc, who played the murderous Lecland Palmer in "Twin
Peaks."

' KIN" YOU BELIEVE IT?
With his role as Dr. Brian Carey on
"The Bold and the Bcauuful" just
about wrapped up, Kin Shnner
once again is rumored to be ready
to resume his role as Scott Baldwin
on "General Hospital,''
As "GH" fans know, Lucy, who
carried his daughter, got a rncs~age
BY SALLY STONE
BY SALLY STONE
from Scott not too long ago.
Over at "As the World Turns,"
some folks wonder if Jon Hensley
will make a return as Holden
Snyder now that Holden's true
love, Lily (Martha Byrne) will no
longer have Damian to complicate
things for Holden.
While Jon's return to the soap is
iffy, on the positive side there's his
engagement to "ATWT's" Kelly
Menighnn (Emily) who plan to wed
in Chicago in late spring.
Victoria Rowell's maternity
leave won't leave "Young and the
Restless" fans "Dru-lcss" at this
crucial story line juncture. As
"Y&R" fans know, Dru's brotherin-law. Nathan. has been unfaithful
with Keesha, who has since learned
she was infected with HlV by a
previous lover who died of AIDS.
Stephanie
Cameron.
who
stepped into the role of Jennifer
Devereaux when Melissa Reeves
left "Days of Our Lives" last month
because of "family" reasons, has
been signed to a three-year contract Long-time fans of Reeves are
sure she'll return, and the soap
agrees Reeves is "on leave.'' At
least for now.

Calling It
Quits
In ' 96
(NAPS)-Picdgmg to
k1ck the nicotine habit is
among the most common
New Year's resolutions
10 Amenca. In many
cases. this resolution is
broken soon after it is
made. To help make
1996 the year when
smokers'
resolutions
become a reality, here are
ten tips to help smokers
call it quits in '96.
1. Are you ready?
Everyone around you
wants you to quit smoking-but are you really
ready to quit? Write
down your reasons for
wanting to quit and your
fears about the qu1tting
process. Prepare ways to
overcome the barriers
often associated with
quitting, such as weight
gain and stress. Think
about healthy habits you
can substitute in place of
smoking, like drinking
eight glasses of water a
day or taking up exercise.
another
decide on a reward to go
with it. When you wake
up in the morning,
choose a reward to usc as
an incentive to make it
through that day without
smoking. Or, every time
you think about having a
c1garette take a dollar
and put it aside-at the
end of the smoke-free
day or week, treat yourself.
If at first...
Time them and sec how
long they last and how
frequently they occur
each day.
9. One day at a time.
Once you've decided
to quit, set short term
goals. If you can make it
through the first week.
your chances of rcmainmg smoke-free mcrease
substantially.
8. Resist the
temptation.
Overcoming
your
tobacco cravings may
seem
impossible ,at
times. Prepare for your
urges to smoke-keep
gum on hand, go for a
walk, exercise, figure out
the best way to distract
yourself when you crave
a cigarette. Your urges
will not go on forever.
10. Reward yourself.
As you set your goal,
you don t succeed. try,
try again! Most smokers
try to quit several times
before they succeed.
Even if you have smoked
for a long time. remember that your chances of
having a heart attack
decrease just 24 hours
after becoming smokefree.

2. It's a physical thing.
Nicotine is physically
addictive. Many smokers
find it difficult to endure
withdrawal

symptoms such as cravings for tobacco, anxiety,
headaches, fatigue and
irritability. Ask your doctor what you can do to
ease the intensity of
these effects. Your doctor
can prescribe a nicotine

system), and a free personalized support program to help you.

3. Get psyched.
Decide when and how
you want to qUJt. Set a
realistic quit date-be
sure to choose a week
when you don't anticipate excessive pressure
at work or at home. Give
yourself time to determine how you can make
quitting as easy as possible. Decide whether it's
best for you to quit cold
turkey or consider a program that can offer personalized support.

Smoking is an addiction. Be aware that you
are giving up something
that your body and mind
are used to and something that you enjoy on
many levels. No one will
tell you it's easy. So, try
to prepare yourself by
creating a plan that will
work best for you.
5. Toss 'em.
That's right, you have
to throw out all of your
cigarettes. You should
also get rid of ashtrays.

anything that makes
smoking a cigarette possible. Make your home,

6. Spread the word.

Quitting is often made
easier when family and
friends lend their support. Not only can they
help you resist your
temptation to pick up a
cigarette-they can also
hold you accountable

Spealdng Qj and for Floyd County
.Pact outlines
funding plan
for 911 setup
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
~
Floyd County could be one step
closer to having an operating E-911
system if the city and county sign a
proposed agreement that helps
fund the system.
Prestonsburg City Council
members got their first look at the
agreement Monday during their
regular meeting. The council said it
would hold a special meeting late
this week or early ne>.1. week to
sign the document.
The agreement g1ves the county,
through the E-911 board of directors, the full responsibility of establishing and running the system. It
also stipulates that the county hire
Dingus says
he was fired
for being on
'wrong side'
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
A state transportation employee
from Aoyd County who was fired
from his job this week said Tuesday
that his termination resulted from
being on the wrong side of the political fence in the governor's race.
Bill "Crush" Dingus, 61, of Prestonsburg, said Tuesday that his frring was no surprise and said he
planned to retire anyway. Dingus
added that his job loss wa.; 'just a
fonnality" with the incoming ad·
ministration of Governor Paul Patt 10.
"1 was a Jones man. That's why
they got me," Dingus said. "l was
for (Larry) Forgy. too. Patton wasn't for the miners and I couldn't be
for him''
Dingus said that "a lot'' of transportation employees were fired this
week and that he will receive pay
from accrued vacatton and retirement.
"I worked it out w1th them
(See Dingus, page two)
all dispatch personnel presently
employed by the city and that
those personnel be subject to the
county's personnel polictes, including a s1x-month probationary
period .
The system will also provide
dispatching services for the city.
In return, the city will fund a
portion of the operating costs, not
to exceed $90,000 in the first 12
months of operation.
The exact amount paid by tbe
city will be determined by total expenses less 911 surcharge payments received from Bell South
and Harold Telephone compantes
and the portion of opc1ations paid
by the Aoyd County Sheriffs Department.
The initial budget for the service shows that the city is expecting to pay about $54,034 for the
first year while the sheriffs department will chip in $36,000 and 91 1
revenues will be $170,880 (16.000
telephone subscriber!' at 89 cents
per month).
Expense-wise, the budget calls
for a start-up cost of $359,394.
Wilh annu ...l operational co. t- estimated at $260,914.
The largest expense m the budget js personnel costs, with
$160.020 being set aside for salary
and wages. Employee benefits. including PICA. retirement, health
insurance, are on top of that
amount.
"1l1is is pretty general," County
Judge-Executive, Ben Hale said.
"This agreement is prctly much
what was discussed. It 1s not a surpnse to the county."
Hale said most of the numbers
in the budget are pretty firm, but
there's always room for a shift if
operations call for it.
"This IS a first-time budget. We
don't know if there'll be any surprises springing up," Hale said.
He said the budget will be reassessed at the end of the year and
the city's commitment could be
ra1sed or lowered as needed at that
time.
'But we've got to have a starting point," he said. " I don't think
we're way off base on anything
though."

New Fkwd school superintendent John Balentine received a
pleasant surprise Monday morning. The overall attendance rate at
county schools was 94 percent.
"This was tremendous after a
long layoff because of snow and
lhc one-hour delay this morning,"
Balentine said. "I just want to give
my thanks to the parents of the
Floyd County School District for
the response they are giving
today."
Balentine, who has only been
on the JOb here smce the first part
of th1s month, said he wasn't sure
what the attendance average would
be.
"I didn't know what to expect.
I'd been told that maybe students
wouldn't be here with the long layoff and the delay, that they wouldn't come back to school after being
out."
But the parents of the county
fooled him, sending their children
back to school en masse. "I guess
they'd been so cooped up with
mom and dad for so long that mom
and dad got tired of them and they

Monda}' morning, Balentme said
they were ''pretty much clear. 'There
were a couple of hollows we couldn't get the buses into and we asked
those parents to walk or drive their
children out. We're going to continue to monitor roads. O ur main goal
is to keep children safe."
Balentine s:ud he considers several factors before deciding to close
school.
"I have people on the roads all
the time and there are people who
live in certain areas that we call
when the roads start getting bad,"
he said.
He has traveled some of those

Floyd Judge-Execut1ve Ben Hale
told fiscal court members Friday.
Most of Fnday's d1scussions at
the fiscal court meeting centered on
the blin.ard earlier this month that
dumped nearly two feet of sno\\ in
the county.
Mag1str;Hcs quizzed Hale about
why county workers could not clear
roads to cemeteries or church parking lots using county-o\\ ned equipment.

about 3.600-acres of property."
Some of the property already

trates that unless a roadway is
adopted 1nto the county road system, employees are legally prohibited from doing any work on the
road.
"We can't do a blanket rcsoluuon," Hale said. "That's why I appointed the (road) comm1ttee and
why I want to our county map up
to date. It seemed pretty cut and
dried to me. Either we own it or we
don't own it. I'm just trying to do
everything nght and protect everybody. I'm not saying I don't want
to do 1t. I want to do it correctly. I
want to do things correct and legal
as county judge."
Magistrate Erma! Tackett told
the judge-executive he thought
work on private roadways could
have been done by county employees because a ~tate of emergency
had been declared in the county.
DeRosseu added that in the
past. magistrates had worked on
roads that served more than three
homes.
Hale explained that there is a
djfferencc between a public and
county-owned roud regarding the
legality of using county workers
and equipment to do road work.

Hale reiterated that pubhc funds
could not be expended to work on
roads not owned by the county
"I hate to bum a grader to grade

Elmer Ray Johnson told Hale.
'Tm not gmng to give you a

with you Elmer Ray but I'm not
gonna say you can do anything you
want to on private property."
DeRossett askc:-d how many
homes had to be served by a road
before 1t is taken Into the county
road system.
Hale told DeRossett it didn't
m;tttcr ho\\ many homes \\ere
served by a road and that a roadway
had to be owned by the county
before 1t could be worked on.
DeRossett
asked
County
Attorney Jim Hammond for his
opinion on the issue and Hammond
sa1d he agreed with Hale.
Hammond also rcmtnded the
magistrates that there are hmited
resources to mamtain roads and that
once a road is adopted into the
county S) stem, the county must
maintain it.
Tackett asked that the court pass
a resolution pertammg to emergenCies and what work could be done
on private property.
Hale said he would be tn favor
or such a move if it was legal and
asked the county attorney to see if it
would be posstble to pass such a
resolution
Magistrate Jackte Edford Owens
satd the county should purchase salt
trucks whtch also have snow blades.
Owens explained that the dump
trucks could travel through the county faster than a grader which would
speed up clearing roads.
Hale cautJoned the magtstrates
about buymg those vch1cles which
would be used only for limited period of time during a year. Hale suggested that officials look into finding the vehicles this summer at a
state auctton of surplus vehicles.
Owens wanted to accept bids on
the vehtcles in order to get a price
estimate.
Magistrates voted to advertise
Crown Royal
(Continued from page one)
for bids on the vehicles.
Also. Ollie Leslie of Dwale
asked the court why it took so long
for roads to be cleared in the
Allen/Dwale area.
Hale explained that several of
the graders broke down during the
storm which delayed clearing
roads. Hale thanked members of the
Floyd County and Left Beaver
Emergency and Rescue Squads and
local fire departments for their
asststance during the storm.
Disaster
and
Emergency
Services Director Lonnie May told
the court that Kentucky National
Guardsmen provided transportation
dunng the storm, but he added that
no snow removal equipment is
being kept at the Prestonsburg
Armory.
State officials downsized the
Prestonsburg Annory last year
because of reported cutbacks in the
U.S. Army.
In other action Friday:
• Magistrate Owens was apparently upset with a comment made in
December by Floyd County Solid
Waste
Commissioner Lowell
Sammons regarding magistrates'
pay and the purchase of vehicles.
Owens srud Sammons "was a good
one to call the kettle black because
he was on (the court) when they
broke the county." Owens added
that the commission owes the court
$10,000 for salaries of workers and
wanted to know when it would be
paid back. Hale told Owens that the
commission is aware of what is
owed and will pay the debt.
• Hale reported that a special
meeting will have to be held in
order to take court meetings out in
the county. Hale said it is his intention to hold special meetings out tn
the county. Magistrate Owens commented that "everybody knows
when" the meetings are and that
they make a point to attend them if
they want to.
• Bob Meyer updated the court
on the county's E-911 service and
suggested that magistrates approve
the E-911 board's recommendations to purchase recording equipment and to hire James D. Wells as

February meeting.
• The court voted to release grant
money to the Floyd County
Development Authority for the purchase and development of an industrial site at Ivel. The development

• Hale announced that state
Corrections Cabtnet officials are
scheduled to do an inspection of the
county's new jail facility on
Thursday. If state officials approve
the facility, Hale said, the jail
should be turned over to the county

Growth in Eastern Kentucky
may not keep up with growth 10 the
rest of the state over the next three
years.
That's according to Eric
fhompson, assistant professor of
economtcs at the University of
Kentucky.
Thompson. along with Gail M.
Hoyt, asststant professor of economics at U K.. and Mark Berger,
director of the Center for Business
and Economic Research at U.K.,
presented an economic forecast
January 17.
The news conference originated
at the Universtty of Kentucky. but
involved reporters from around the
state via tcle-linkmg technology at
the community colleges.
"This is the first rime we've used
this cqutpment for th1s type of
thing." Mark Francis, public relations director for Prestonsburg
Commumty College. said. He said

Thompson
predicted
that
Dingus
Kentucky's economy will grow
slightly faster than the national pace
during 1996. 1997, and 1998. He
also predicted a I. 7 percent
increase m wage and salary income
growth, and an increase of 9,870
jobs in the state over that period.
He predicted that whtle manufacturing JObs will slow across the
state, those jobs will still grow by
about one percent.
"The most rapidly growing manufacturing industries 10 Kentucky
arc forecast to be transportation
equtpment, rubber and miscellaneous plastic products, and paper
products,'' Thompson said.
But he had little reassuring news
for the eastern portion of the state
and offered few alternatives for
jobs lost in the mimng industry.
"Companies
in
Eastern
Kentucky should investigate
wood products and I'm not just
talktng
about .
logging,"
Thompson said. "This can
include the manufacture of construction materials."
He said while the coal mining
industry will continue to see job
losses, they will occur at a slower
pace than in recent years. The
industry has lost 1.400 jobs per year
since
1990,
according
to
Thompson. Those jobs arc forecast
to decline by 600 jobs per year from
1996 to 1998.
He suggested development officials 10 the area investigate other
resource-based industries, as well
as the food processing industry.
"Some industries will be better suited for that area," he said.
Construction employment is also
expected to increase by 1.5 percent
a year, producing about 1, 100 jobs
each year. That increase could be
directly attributed to Thompson's
projection that the state's population will grow by a little less than
one percent annually, or about
33,000 per year. He said nearly
22,000 of that is migration into the
state.
Hoyt said Eastern Kentucky
could also see the most effects of a
welfare reform act that gives control of federal dollars for those programs to the states.
She said that because of the large
number of transfer payment recipients - those who receive Social
Security, welfare, AFDC, or other
such payments - are in Eastern
Kentucky, the area will be hardest

No disrespect intended, but Kentucky's
Supreme Court is full of baloney.
The court ruled last week that a state law,
which prohibits parents from serving on schoolbased decision-making councils if they have a
relative employed anywhere in the school district, is constitutional.
The court's reasoning for supporting the ban?
Because the state's General Assembly has
the authority to pass laws that apply to education reform in Kentucky.
Well, duh.
Everybody knows the legislature has the
authority to enact taws.
We didn't know, though, that they had the
power to adopt unfair or unconstitutional
statutes.
In fact, we thought the supreme court was
there to make sure they didn't.
Now we may not have a lawyer's grasp of the
law, but it sure seems to us that a statute,
which applies only to parent representatives on
a site-based council and not any of the other
members, falls a bit shy of our constitutional
right to equal protection under the law.
And, we find this law particularly unreasonable in Its suggestion that parents with family
members employed in a school district are the
only ones prone to the unfavorable influences
of nepotism.
Laws that don't apply to everyone should
apply to no one.
You'd think our supreme court would recognize that before anyone.
The Guv is concerned that Republicans have
too much clout in the state senate, where the
ratio is 21 Democrats to 17 Republicans, so
he's going to throw his political weight behind
efforts to unseat as many GOP senators as he
can.
Well, so much for his vow to be a governor
for all of Kentucky.
Guess that regions of the state which vote for
the senators of 1tlWr choice need a little lesson
in Politics 101, Kentucky Style.
That's where it's okay to have two parties, but
the minority should be neither seen nor heard.
Otherw1se, it might force some issues to be
thoroughly debated before they're shoved
down our throats.

Trapdoor will spring
on May House plan
Editor:
As a student of Erskine
Caldwell; humor; and often jaundiced view of mans endeavors; I
have waited patiently to learn how
the trap was baited in the May
House museum project. And this
being Eastern Kentucky, and in particular, Floyd County. I never
doubted for a moment that a trapdoor existed-whereby our good
hill folks could be again led to the
promised land and told again that
they could not enter.
Mr. Robert Perry, president,
Friends of the May House, provided
us with the answer in his letter of
appreciation to the workers and
contributors to the project (FCT 110-96).
The trapdoor for the project
appears to be the covenant (con·
tract) in deed by which the May
House property is being conveyed
to the city of Prestonsburg. The
contract states that the property: (I)
Will be used as a living history
museum and (2) cannot be used for
any other purpose. Violation of
either covenant will cause the deed
to be null and void, and ownership
of the property reverts back to the
May family. Folks, it does not
require the services of Sherlock
Holmes to find the squad car in that
legal arrangement.

Good folks. according to Mr.
Perry. the conLract says that the
May House and property "will" be
used as a "living history museum.''
Not ought to be used; should be
used: or may be used. It will be
used as a Jiving history museum.

Kentucky, maybe we ought to include some
discussion on one "traditional" aspect of our
current system that needs some modernization.
Every year. dozens of Kentucky school districts ... usually those in rural parts of the
state ... see their calendars interrupted by
inclement weather, often for long stretches at a
time.
Those gaps create chaos in school funding
and instructional consistency, not to mention
the problems bad weather causes for parents
of small children.
The traditional solution to making up lost
days is to extend the school year, adding days
in the spring months, but that approach has its
faults, too.
Extended school years can create conflicts
for teachers and students who have plans for
summer school or summer jobs and, well,
many students just seem to lose interest in
school when the trees start budding and the
birds start chirping.
Year 'round school is one idea under consideration, but a more reasonable approach might
be just to extend the school day by an hour or
two in the fall months. We could pick up
between 10 and 20 full days of instruction by
the end of November with that approach and
could conceivably take off the whole month of
January without losing a minute of classroom
time.
Eight hours a day might be too much for the
little fellows in the primary grades, though, but
the idea is worth some study.
Shall we?
Kentucky State Police officers have been
ordered to holster their tongues and to suppress their personal opinions on a proposed
concealed-weapons bill until the KSP's head
honcho, the Justice Cabinet commissioner,
takes a stand on the issue.
It might be appropriate to remind whoever
issued the gag order that his directive is in
direct conflict with the United States
Constitution, a document we thought peace
officers were sworn to uphold and protect.
Don't recall reading any fine print in the First
Amendment that says we are free to speak our
minds, as long as we clear our opinions with
the boss. first.
We have a suggestion on how KS P officers
should respond to the order writer...
Arrest that man.

• Presently. the school parktng
lot cannot handle student parking as
is and many students park on a Vel)
congested city street. The renovation of the present school fac1lity
• will eliminate all student parking on
campus and will cause a disastrou'
situation on city streets in the com·
munity. School and community
relations will suffer immeasurably.
TI1ere will also be no parking for
student athletic events.
• The present water runoff. or
drainage system for the school complex is via underground drains to
the river. The city of Prestonsburg
does not have any flood control
structures or pumping stations in
the northern section of the cuy.
.-There are no storm sewers or
drainage for this section of the community. As a matter of fact, the city
utilizes the higher natural elevation
of the land south of the school site
to keep flood water from entering
the city proper. During periods of
flooding. the river enters the school
complex from three sides. as well as
through the dramage lines.
• The independent school system
of Prestonsburg (1954) sold bonds
to construct the school facilities.
• When the independent Schools of
Prestonsburg merged with county
public schools. the count) assumed
the bonding payments for the gymnasium. However, neither the county public schools nor the
Independent School District has
paid for the bonds to construct the
football f1eld. The stadium and
other related structures were constructed in 1960. To ra1se revenue to
construct this facility. bonds were
sold to citizens throughout the area.
The payment for the bonds should
have occurred in the 1960s. but no
one has been paid one cent for the1r
bonds. Can a facility be located on
an area which has not paid previous
bond indebtedness?
•The Prestonsburg Utilities
Corporation manages the city's
sewage system. Presently. for the
city's sewage system to handle the
sewage from the school, there is a
lift station situated on the school
campus. Past floochng has caused
considerable problems at the school
since raw sewage backs up into the
school when the area south of the
school is flooded. This has caused
serious health problems for the students.
• The gymnasium floor IS constructed on floating concrete pads.
Because these pads fluctuate, they
have previously sheared water, gas,
and sewer lines. This has enabled
tlood water to enter the complex
through the broken lines.

• The present school facility was

the Jenny Wiley Pioneer Festival
Committee agreed to add Nolan
Amusements to the lineup of
entertainment during the festival.
The amusement company will

Prestonsburg tourism director
Fred James, reported at the meeting.
James said the amusement
company participates in the Apple

"They've got good marks."
James said.
The group agreed to place the
amusement company on the parking lot beside Hall and Clark

Left Beaver squad
lists activities for '95
Dunng 1995, the Left Beaver
Volunteer Fire Department and
Rescue Squad responded to a
total of 91 accidents with
injunes: 47 of those were within
their fire district and 44 were outside their district.
The volunteers used the Jaws
of Life nine times last year to free
victims trapped inside their vehicles. according to statistics compiled
by
Curtis
Hall
of
McDowell.
The squad made runs to 21
structure fires, six vehicle fires,
seven forest fires and responded
t to four fire alarms. They also rendered mutual aid to other fire
departments at least twice during
the year.
They made one mountain rescue within their district and one
outside their district.
"With an average roster of 34
volunteers, this represents several
hundred man hours of service,
plus many, many hours of helping
with traffic control and parking at
social events, such as the Squirrel
Festival, and church associations." Hall said.
•
The volunteers also participated in the annual Santa Claus Run,
retraining meetmgs, and testing.
T hey also had to maintain and
clean their equipment after each
use, which can take several hours.
•
This year, they also got off to a
busy start.
During the recent severe
weather, the volunteers delivered
food, medicine and heating oil to
residents trapped in their homes
and transported key personnel to
and from work at hospitals and
emergency operations during the
storm, Hall said.
A discussion ensued regarding
the blocking of streets in the
downtown area for the carnival
rides. The group plans to block
off a section of Arnold Avenue
from the Coachman to the library
for arts and crafts. Some members
of the group expressed concern
about access for firefighters and
business people if other streets
were blocked.
Committee chairperson Donna
Blackburn said the group should
talk to Prestonsburg fire chief
Tom Black burn before planning
to sechon off other streets.
"Whatever 'Tombo' says we
need to do, we'll do it," Helene
Branham, a member of the committee, added.
In other business at the meeting·
• Branham was elected vice
chairman.
• Sue Webb agreed to record
minutes of the meetings.
• Prices were set for concessions and vendor sales.
• The use of spray confetti or
similar sprays, such as shaving
cremes, were banned from the

Have you ever lost a lot~ed one
who was very dear to you,
One you loved so very much and
miss her like we do?
Have you ever had a heartache
or ever felt the pain,
Or shed those bitter tears that
drop like falling rain?
If you've never had this feeling
then pray you never do,
When God takes your Mom, He
takes a part of you.
Those who have a Mom, cherish
her with care,
For you'll never know the
heartache, u11til you find she
isn't there.

Good Sainaritan Foundation Inc. releases report
Arch G. Mainous Jr.. president,
Good Samaritan Foundation Inc.
announced the foundation is
releasing a two-volume report
this week.
The report entitled "County
Profiles"
and
"Needs
Assessment" was prepared by the
University of Kentucky Center
for Rural Health in Hazard
through a grant from Good
Samaritan Foundation Inc.
"The UK Center for Rural
Health did an excellent job of
assembling and presenting this
report," Mainous said. "The
diversity and complexity of the
information are enlightening and
it is fascinating to peruse and
compare national, state, area, and
individual county information. It
shows the current status for a particular county or area which may
differ substantially from preconceived notions," he said.
The report encompasses the
Good Samaritan Foundation service area which includes 78 of
Kentucky's 120 counties, including Floyd, and the urban centers
Priest visits Honduras
The Reverend Johnme Ross,
Vicar at Saint James Episcopal
Church in Prestonsburg, will
spend eight days of his vacation
time in Central America, as a
member of VOSH (Volunteer
Optometric
Services
to
Humanity).
At the invitation of Kenneth
Cottrell, a doctor in optometry
with the practice of Conley,
Cottrell & Mann in Paintsville,
Ross was informed of his membership in VOSH and decided to
accept a position on the team
nearly a year ago.
As a member of this team,
Father Ross will be one of a 19member staff which cons1sts of
two opticians, five OD-MD's,
two students, and a six-member
support staff
The group will spend much of
their time conducting eye exams
and providing glasses to the people of Honduras, as guests of the
local Lion's Club in La Ceiba.
"It is my understandmg that
the maJority of the people visiting
our center will be children," Ross
said, who has spent most of his
adult life as an area youth leader,
serving both the Boy and Girl
Scout movements, as well as various other church-and community-related youth groups
Upon learning of his acceptance as a member of the VOSH
group, contact was made w1th
Reverend E. Albert Brooks, a
priest at Iglesia Episcopal
Santisima
Trinidad
(The
Episcopal Church of the Holy
Trinity) in La Ceiba, Honduras,
where Father Ross was invited to
celebrate the Holy Eucharist at
the Sunday morning services.
"The eight o'clock service is
an English speaking serv1ce,"
said Brooks, as he invited the
newly-ordained
priest
from
Prestonsburg to be the celebrant.
"The eleven o'clock service is
conducted entirely in Spanish,"
but the celebration of the Holy
Euchar1st may indeed have to be
conducted in English, as Ross has
a limited Spanish vocabulary.
When asked for his impressions, Ross imagmed a celebration of that nature to be similar 1n
experience to the celebration
which occurred at the Day of
Pentecost.
"Both the Spanish and English
speaking
commun1t1es
will
understand that we are there as
Episcopalians to offer our prayers
and praise to God, as brothers and
sisters m Christ Jesus," Ross
said, "and that's really all that
matters." "Whether or not we can
understand each other is not all
that important, God will hear us
and be able to understand us and
that's really all that matters," he
added.
Father Ross is a 15-year
employee
of
the
Natural
Resources and Environmental
Protection Cabinet, where he has
been an environmental inspector
for both the Department for
Surface Mining Reclamation and
Enforcement. and the Department
for Environmental Protection, a
position he currently holds.
While in Honduras, Ross, who
holds a bachelors degree in
Wildlife Biology and Resource
Management, plans to visit Cuero
& Salado Wildlife Refuge, an
estuary formed by the confluence
of the Rio Cuero and the Rio
Salado.
"While working on my undergraduate degree at Berea College,
my emphasis was in the area of
ornithology," said Ross. ''and
while in Honduras I hope to see
lots of birds. including native
parrots and the toucans.
"As much as 1 am looking forward to meeting and assisting the
people of Honduras, I am equally
as excited about seeing the area's
wildlife and serving at the altar of
the Church of the Holy Trinity.
"I believe Chnst can be most
clearly seen in the faces of our
brothers and sisters everywhere.
whether they be in Honduras,
Central
America
or
in
Prestonsburg, Kentucky," said
Ross, "and in creation, we have
the perfect icon through which
we can always get a glimpse of
the Divine, if we are willing to
not just look at it, but through it."
of Kentucky, Lexington and
Louisville, the rapid growth areas
of
Northern
and
Central
Kentucky. and all of Appalachian
Kentucky.
The people in this region are
quite different 1n their health conditions and access to health care.
The wealthiest and poorest counties of the state are represented.
According to the report many
rural counties have too few health
care providers in comparison with
the urban areas where there is
excess capacity. Also, many counties do not have sufficient primary care providers and the ones
there are overworked.
"In response to these needs,
Good Samaritan Foundation Inc.
has initiated several programs
which are intended to significantly improve the health of
Kentuckians over time We hope
our contributiOn will truly make a
difference in both rural and urban
Kentuckians," Mainous said.
Although this report contains a
great deal of information, it is not
comprehens1ve. It takes three different approaches.
First, health and health care
access information that are traditional indicators of need are presented.
Second, socioeconomic status
is related to health status.
Therefore, several indicators of
socioeconomic status are presented. Third, the report is descriptive
and comparative rather than analytic. Where available and relevant, national data are presented
for comparison purposes.
"We trust this information will
be helpful to those who influence
policy or deliver services to meet
Kentucky's current health care
needs. The report. presented in
non-technical language, will be
distributed to public officials,
libraries, health departments and
others who have an interest in
health care delivery or health education in Kentucky. It is intended
for use by a wide audience of citizens interested in health of their
county," he said.

A Look At Sports :
Calling all
refs, officials
needed soon
It's the talk of the basketball season,
especially with the girls' teams. High
• school basketball officiating is deteriorating more and more each year. The reason? Lack of good quality officials. The
reason? Violent or vocal fans who are not
up to date with the rules.
Past officials have said they have left
the game because of fan behavior.
"There's no way you can control the
fans," said one fonner official.
"Fans are getting more and more out
of control," vocalized,,, .-----.......,
another.
With veteran officials leaving the
j game. that means
someone has to step
up and take their
place. The problem is
there are not that
many veteran officials to step up.
Ed Taylor
Assigning secretaries Sports Editor
have to use who they
have to fill the voids.
This year, it seems, there has been
more complaints from fans, coaches and
players over the lack of good quality offi• ' ciating than in years past. There are still a
few veterans out there, but how long will
it be before they hang up the whistle?
There are fewer individuals who have
a hankering to put on the striped shirt and
take his life in hand and walk out on the
basketball court, so they say.
Especially hit by the lack of quality
officials bas been the girls' division and
coaches will be quick to point it out. Top
quality conference or regional games
demand top quality ofticials. But the girls
are getting officials who have not had
much experience or are low on the totem
pole of regional officials. The quality refs
are being saved for the boys' games.
I
Now there are gomg to be some who
will disagree with me. but the girls' game
deserves the same quality referees as the
boys do.
A girls' game at Betsy Layne a month
ago had 99 fouls called in a marathon finish. Others this season are witnessing
anywhere between 60 and 70 fouls. More
and more players are being sent to the
free throw line because someone called a
• picky foul while ignoring a more serious
violation.
I must also admit that coaches
attempts at intimidating the officialares
working. Now some coaches will deny
they are that sort. But I have seen it. As
•
soon as the game begins they start tryi ng
to dictate how the game should be called.
I know Ancie Casey, the 15th Region's
assigning secretary. I know he works hard
during the summer months to hold an
official's camp and train prospects in
being top quality officials. I know that
Ancie wants to put the best on the floor
when the ball is tossed up to start the
game. That's the kind of director we
have. He does an excellent job. But 1
think also he should weigh each game
and the importance of such. You never
want to take a top regional game like a
Belfry versus Pike Central and use novice
•
officials. Or a top conference game such
as Allen Central versus Prestonsburg or
Betsy Layne versus Prestonsburg or an
Allen Central.
Coaches' bench behavior is getting
more and more out of control as well. The
language be1ng used is not necessary. The
raving on the sidelines in protest of every
call made IS not needed in the game of
basketball. Maybe the game should begin
with a technical foul on each bench. The
next means ejection from the game and
suspension for the next three. Harsh. Not
really when you consider the image they
are projecung to our kids and the crowds.
The crowds react the way the bench
reacts.
Fans. You have love them and try to
understand them. But for the most part
someone following the game for the first
Lime because 1t is Johnny's or Susie's first
year of playing just isn't up on the rules.
They don't understand why an over-andback wasn ' t called. They don't understand why a double dribble wasn't whistled. All they know is that it looked
wrong and therefore should have been
called.
Officiating, coaching and being'* good
fan IS really hard these days. Why?
Because that's the way we have made it.
We are not there just to enjoy the game
and watch our kids in competition or to
be a coach of examples. We feel we have
'
to become part of the floor play, dictate
terms, when in reality we're not supposed
to.

Prestonsburg upsets Belfry, 65-63
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
All the Prestonsburg Lady Blackcats did
last Saturday night was throw the girls' 15th
Region into a tizzy and make it a bit more
confusing as to who should be the favorite
team to win it all this season .
Coach Harold Tackett's ballclub journeyed to Belfry this past Saturday night and
handed the Lady Pirates only their third setback this season with a 65-63 win. It was
the second consecutive home court loss for
the Lady Pirates, who had fallen to Pike
Central earlier.
Crystal Layne tossed in 24 points and
April Newsome added 16 to lead
Prestonsburg. Ladonna Slone, who seems to
have broken out of a scoring slump, netted
11 points. Slone hit some key free throws in
the fourth period.
Jamie Heflin topped the L ady Pirates'
scoring with 19 points. Bev M utter tossed in
14 and Debra McCoy scored ten.
Layne, Newsome combine
for 40 points in victory
Heflin had the early hot hand for Belfry
htttmg three three-pointers in the first quarter to stake the Lady Puates to a 23-14 lead.
Mutter was strong down low "ith six firstquarter points.
Newsome kept Prestonsburg close in the
initial period with two three-pointers of her
O\\ n. Layne scored four points in the first
quarter. At one time Prestonsburg trailed the
host team, 21-7. before running off seven
straight points to trail by only nine at the
first stop.
Layne continued to score consistently
for Prestonsburg in the second period with
nine points, including a three-point basket.
But the balanced attack of Belfry, who uses
a lot of players. was too much for the Lady
B lackcats in the first half as they trailed 4235 at the half. M utter had six second quar-
ter points with Mandy Sm1th and Camille
Kltne scoring four each.
It Y.as a defens1ve stand off in the third
penod for both club~ as Prestonsburg
outscored Belfry 10-6 in the third quarter
nnd trailed by three, 48-45. Mutter was
stopped with JUSt two free throws in the
third period and Belfry scored only two
field goals.
Freshman Shelly Greathouse buried a
three-pointer to lead the offense for
Pre:.tonsburg in the third.
It was the founh quarter that showed the
Lndy Blackcats have to prove themselves at
the free throw line, something they haven't
done all that well. Prestonsburg attempted
14 attempts frot;n the charity stripe and con-

Coach Bill Newsome said his
team played well enough to win
against Pike Central last Thursday
night at the Mullins gym. "but we
just couldn't score in the end.''
Freshman Amanda Collins had
her way on the inside as she scored
24 points and Kim Hall added 16 to
lead the Lady Hawks to a 54-52
win over the Betsy Layne Lady
Cats. The loss snapped a five-game
winning streak for the Lady Cats.
Betsy Layne was unable to contain the Lady H awks' center in the
middle as Collins took charge in the
second period. She scored eight
unanswered points in the second
period to lead Pike Central to a 34 291ead.
But Betsy Layne had its chance
to win it all in the closing 26 seconds of the game. The Lady Hawks
assumed control of the basketball
with 30 seconds left on a po~o;es
sion arrow. But 1t took only four
seconds for them to throw the ball

it will be a different team gomg to
Richmond, as the Elkhorn City
Lady Cougars edged out Allen

Cindy Damron scored 20 of her

half and did it all as she led Elkhorn

Elkhorn City won the first ever

Elkhorn City will be making the

A Look at Sports -
(Continued from page lB)
You have heard me say it many times. The best officials in the 15th
Region come from Floyd County. We have some fine officials. There are
good referee's in Pike, Martin, and Magoffin counties as well. Then
there are some who should not be allowed on the floor until they have
learned the art of calling a basketball game.
Yes, I personally believe that officiating has taken a dip. But it is not
easy in this day and time. Three officials are needed for each game and
that move will have to come quickly if refereeing is to improve. The
game is quicker, the kids are bigger, and the three-point shot adds more
pressure.
Schools and official associations are going have to get together and
work out a pay scale that is suitable for both in having three officials. It
is imperative!
Until Friday, good sports everyone and be a good sport, even to officials.

team, though very young, did not
fold and refused to quit. They went
on a run of their own and netted
eight straight points to tic the game
at 42 on a layup by Shauna Moore
at the 2: 11 mark. Natilie Cooley
started the spurt with two free
throws Janice Thornsberry stole
the ball and scored and Misty Scott
hit two free throws before Moore
tied the game.
Damron proved she is human by
missing two straight bonus shots,
but did connect on one of two with
43 seconds showing on the clock.
That gave Elkhorn City a 43-42
lead.
Karen Wallen, not having the
game she had against Paintsville in
the semifinals when she scored 18
points, hit the front end of a twoshot foul with 32 seconds remaining to tie the game at 43. Wallen
rebounded her missed shot on the

nine seconds left to play. Potter
misfired on the first attempt, but
canned the second one for a 44-43

Allen Central inbounded the ball

inward pass was picked off by
Elkhorn and the victory was theirs.
No one scored in double figures
for Allen Central. Misty Scott had
nine points to lead the Lady Rebs.

Allen Central took a 58-44 lead
on a three-point basket by eighthgrader Jessica Martin with 7: 17 to
play in the game. With the game
seemingly intact, Allen Central
couldn't stand prosperity or take
care of the basketball as the Lady
Tigers clawed their way back into
the game. The Lady Rebels committed seven consecutive turnovers
in the next four minutes and
Paintsville cut the 14-point deficit
to six points, 60-54.
Allen Central extended the lead
back to seven points, 63-57, before
a basket by Kristy Philpott and two
free throws by Amanda Pinson narrowed the margin to three. 63-60.
Allen Central had only two field
goals in the final quarter, a trey by
Martin and a layup by Wallen, but
stayed in front from the charity
stripe as they hit 14 of 24 attempts
in the final three minutes of the
game. Samons hit six of her ten in
the final three minutes.
Paintsville led after the first
stop, 14-12, behind the play of former Prestonsburg player Heather
Collins. But Allen Central's press
in the second period caused the
Lady Tigers all sorts of problems as
they turned the ball over on four of
their first five possessions in the
second stanza.
Misty Scott hit a trey to start the
second, Samons connected on two
free throws and a ~ayup that gave
Allen Central a 19-16 lead.
Paintsville went as cold as the
weather outs1de and the Lady Rebs
built on the lead and led 34-23 at

Howard fourth in state in free
throws; Butler to be good one
Allen Central's Todd Howard
continues to sink the free throws
and is founh in the state from the
charity .stripe. Ho"' nrc.J 1s hilling a
Jiule more than 92 percent of his
shots from the stripe. His five of six
against South Floyd Tuesday night
didn't hun his percentage at all. He
has canned 36 of 40 attempts this
season
BE A GOOD ONE!
South Floyd's Timmy Butler IS
just a sophomore, but remember the
name in the next two seasons. This
kid can jump out of the gym and
handles the basketball very well in
the open coun. He needs to get a little stronger and develop a mce short
jumper. He's g01ng to be a good
one.
JONES DOUBLES UP
Perry Jones. A name wcll-knO\\ n
around Floyd County. Perry pulls
double duty. He works for the state
highway department and at night
(when the Raiders arc playmg) he
doubles as manager. Perry has been
around the Wheelwright programs
for a long time.
Jones has been accused of doubling as former Louisville coach.
former Oklahoma coach Howard
Schellenberger. They do look a lot
alike.
SPURLOCK OUT
Allen Central's assistant coach
Kevin Spurlock spent four days in
the hospital with kidney stones.
Spurlock said he never experienced
such pain. He's fine now and back
at the coaching helm.
RAIDER BAND
I really enjoy hearing the South
Floyd Raider band. under the direction of Dennis Barkley, play our
National Anthem. They do such a
great job with it. Makes you proud
to be an American. Of course, all
our bands do a great job.
"COOL" NEEDS TO PREVAIL
Betsy Layne's Chris Hamilton
will be the second Betsy Layne
player to have to sit out a game for
the Bobcats because of a one-game
suspension for fighting . Rocky
Newsome sat out of last Tuesday
night's encounter against Sheldon
Clark. In that game, Hamilton came
to blows with Eric Marcum and was
ejected.
Hamilton has to realize how
1111portnnt he is to this Betsy Layne
team and play more under control.
GRADE SCHOOL

All four of the grade school sectional basketball tournaments have

NASCAR racing. It's been

In fact, the series has been

From time to time however, the

three-point basket in the third
period and drilled a three-pointer
as the Blackcats fought to hold
off a charge by the Commodores.
After Perry Central had taken
a 35-34 lead, Campbell hit his
trey from deep in the right corner
to give the Blackcats a 37-35
lead. Perry Central went on a 4-0
run that netted them the 39-37

caused the Commodores problems and the B lackcats led 41 -39

Perry Central was forced to
send the Blackcats to the charity

'point for Buchanan
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
. The June Buchanan Crusaders
returned to winning basketball
games and winning in a big way
since the holiday break.
Senior forward Anthony Yonts
(Floyd County) reached a personal
milestone when play resumed.
, Yonts scored his l,OOOth point as a
Crusader, becoming only the third
player to accomplish the feat at
June Buchanan. Brian Combs had
1, 172 points while at Buchanan and

Bahari Racing hang on to him so
long? This one's easy. Michael was
a handsome, young, and articulate.
He was great when he had a microphone in his hand. He was good for
the sponsor. Perhaps he would
develop into a winner.
Well, the latter never materialized. And although Michael Waltrip
still possesses all these fine attributes, Pennzoil and Bahari have opted
for another young, handsome and
articulate driver, Johnny Benson,
rookie newcomer.
So, I can hear you saying, "Ben,
why aiJ this talk about change?"
Well, it is the felling of many that
NASCAR and Winston Cup racing
are about to go through one of those
radical spurts of dramatic change.
Now I'm not talking about something that is going to happen tomorrow, but nonetheless, it's more than
likely going to happen.
The biggest change? That one
will be in the schedule. Already
new tracks in Texas, California,
Florida and Nevada are vying for a
NASCAR Winston Cup event.

Burton Smith and Bob Bahre leave
many with the feeling that Winston

More change? NASCAR racing
in Japan? I can't say that I'm completely sold on this one folks. I
would be interested to hear what
you think. I realize that it's just an
exhibition and all, but it just makes
me wonder.
More dramatic changes for the
sport we a11 love so dearly, are
looming on the horizon. Talk about
splitting the senes up into two divisions, so more of the country can
get to see NASCAR racing is not a
far-fetched idea
The point for you to realize is
that change is inevitable. And
whether we want it to or not, the
beloved NASCAR Winston Cup

major adjustments in the next few
years.

IS RICK PITINO DREAMING
OF COACHING THE
'PERFECT GAME'
Nolan Richardson used to boast
about putting Arkansas opponents
through 40 minutes of hell. John
Wooden's UCLA teams employed a
python method. smothering opponents into submission. And Bob
Kmght's better Indiana teams used
a bone crusher technique called
multiple screen sets.
Now comes Rick Pitino. A passionate and intense little man who,
methinks. has a dream in his soul.
One wintry night. on national television ...coach the perfect game.
This man of finesse. fashion finery
and precision, would like to ascend
to a special pinnacle, join company
w1th Don Larsen and Frank Selvy
and Neil Armstrong and Jimmy
Carter. An odd lot you might think,
but read on.
The ultimate niche. Rare air. Just
as Larsen pitched a perfect game in
a World Senes. Selvy scored 100
points in a college game. Armstrong
stepped on the moon, and Carter got
an Arab and a Jew to sign a peace
agreement, Pitino would coach a
team to a crowning jewel. A perfect
game Never been done before.
Likely. never been considered,
except by a handful, including
Kentucky's coach who (pause for
oxygen-to-brain check) could
assemble the right team at the nght
time. He might have done it.
This
season,
offensively,
Kentucky scored 70 in a half
against Marshall, and 86 at LSU last
week.
Defensively, this team has rung
up several notable:;, best among
them perhaps, allowing Morehead
to shoot 13.8 percent, score 32
pomts in 20 minutes.
But last week, Pitino seemed to
join the awestruck as he and we
witnessed something almost surreal. He gazed the way Larsen must
have 40 years ago. staring in at Yogi
Berra through the long shadows of
October. Kentucky's offense shattered LSU like thin glass, shot 67
percent. On another chart, the
defense stole the ball 16 times,
blocked four shots and panicked
Brown's bewildered Tigers into 21
turnovers. Almost a perfect half.
UK got as close to flawless as a
team can in a game where 52 shots
attempted means the other team
gets the ball back the same number
of times. But, subtract 21 possessions on Tiger turnovers, and it
came out 86-42.
So, No. 2 Kentucky arrived at
the season's midway pomt with a
near perfect 14- I record. More
important it was a team with rhythm
among its stars. In its LSU outing
P1tino's team displayed late
February form in mid-January. An
achievement made more amazing
because of a team happiness factor.
Perhaps it will not achieve the
perfect game, but this Kentucky
team has flirted with perfection for
a half. and more than once. That
aside, UK has demonstrated its own
brand of 40 minutes of hell and
python squeeze and bone crushings
too.
WILDCATS 'IMPROVEMENTS'?
Yes, it sounds sort of like complaining about the ashtrays 1n an
Audi, but Rick Pitino's Kentucky
team, despite a near perfect 20 minutes in Baton Rouge last week. is
not without blemish as the season
hits the midway point.
The all-court pressure defense
has been so effective, one is tempted to forget UK's half-court offense
is still, at times, impatient forsaking
the 'extra pass' Da Coach preaches
about. It brings to mind hauntings
of last spring's fiasco against North
Carolina.
And Kentucky's defensive
rebounding and free throw shooting
needs improvement.
Flipside: For transition basketball. Pi uno put his very best starting
lineup on-court last week - Walter
McCarty, Antoine Walker, Derek
Anderson, Tony Delk and Wayne
Turner.
JSIAH VICTOR
After lsiah Victor has looked
over all the numbers that matter
most, the University Heights 6-9
thin man will sign with Kentucky.
Numbers: Andre Ridd1ck showed
up in Lexington at 185 pounds and
left for professional ball in Japan
weighing 220. Nazr Mohammed
rolled into town at 310 and is playing as a freshman at 250. And
Walter McCarty was 180 when he
signed, was benched a month ago
for dropping to 222, and is now an
All-America candidate and hot
NBA prospect at 231. Enough said.
right'? Wrong.
There is the matter of Victor's
place tn the mix. Antoine Walker.
Ron Mercer and Oliver Simmons
return next season along with Jared
Prickett and newcomer Anthony
Dent. Derek Anderson will move to
the back court. But Jason Lathrem
will be on hand as well.
Hunch here is Victor's signing
with UK will be the first in an
inward tum by Pitino (or whoever
UK's coach is) starting in, say.
1998, signing in-state players.
Among most promising - 6-9 J.

AS WINTER APPROACHES,
JIGGING SPOONS BECOME
MORE EFFECTIVE
If it's winter, it's time for jigging
spoons.
That's the opinion of veteran
bass tournament angler David
Wharton of the Johnson Outboards
Pro Staff. Wharton, a former guide
on Lake Sam Rayburn , uses spoons
throughout the year. but prefers
them now when the water begins to
turn colder.
"The advantage of a jigging
_. spoon is that you can put it right iii
front of bass m deep water and keep
it there," Wharton explams. "You
locate the bass on your electronic
depthfindcr, and then you can actually watch your spoon on the
depth tinder, too."
When bass move to deep water
during the winter months, Wharton
says, they tend to suspend in large
schools wh1ch makes them show up
well on depthtinders. He looks for
the fish in deep channels and bays
or off deeper points. Frequently,
bass will use the same structure
year after year, and stay there for a
week or longer.
•
''I believe the best way to fish a
111 jigging spoon ts vertically right
under the boat," Wharton continues.
''Once I have the lure at the depth I
want it. either by counting it down
or by dropping it to the bottom and
reeling It up a certain distance, I
start jigging it vertically.
"I like to work a spoon with a
quick snap of my wnsts so the
spoon does not JUmp upward very
far," he says. ''Some fishermen really jerk their rods hard so the spoon
jumps four or five feet, but I think
bass generally prefer a more subtle
presentation."
After snapping his wrists to
make the spoon jump up. the
• Johnson pro lowers his rod quickly
so the spoon falls back naturally.
Th1s is when the majonty of stnkes
occur.
"I beheve one of the most com
mon mistakes 1 see anglers make
when fishing spoons is letting them
fall on tight lines rather than slack
Jines." Wharton says. "I think a jigging spoon imitates an injured or
dying minnow, and for it to do that
properly, you have to let it fall naturally.
"It doesn't JUSt drop straight
down. It rolls on its side or slides
off in one direction or another, and
it never does the same thing the
same way twice as you· re jigging it.
That's what makes the jigging
spoon so effective."
•
Depending on the depth of the
water he's fishing, Wharton will usc
1/2 or 3/4 ounce spoons, and hi.'
doesn't hesitate to drop them into
underwater brush and cover.
"If you stop your upward jigging
and give the lure slack line the
moment you feel it hit brush. the
weight of the spoon will often free
it again," he explains.
"You don't often mistake a bass
strike for brush, either, because
when bass hit a spoon they usually
hit it hard."
Another reason Wharton likes to
usc jigging spoons this time of year
is because where he catches one
bass he often catches several more
without ever having to move the
boat.
TIDAL WATER FISHING
PROVIDES A TOUGH
CHALLENGE
Of all the challenges professional bass tournament anglers face in a
year of fishing, competing on rivers
influenced by tidal flow ranks as
one of the toughest.
"Not only do we have to locate
bass by location, we also have to
locate them by time, and that time
changes each day," notes veteran
fisherman Guy Eaker of the
Evinrude Outboards Pro Staff.
"Tides change the water depth
wh1ch in turn changes the location
of the fish, so you have to plan your
strategy according to the tides more

than the bass themselves."
Normally, Eaker and other professional fishermen prefer to fish
falling or outgoing tides, since
these tend to draw baitfish out of
protective cover and cause bass to
become more active. The following slack tide can also provide
good fishing before the incoming
tide starts.
Several weeks ago, I fished a
national tournament on the
Potomac River near Waldorf,
Maryland,'' explains the Evinrude
pro. "and the difference between
high and low tide water levels was
more than two feet. That 1s a huge
volume of water to deal with, and
if you don't catch fish at just the
right time. you're lost for the day.
"It's not that the ba:,;s necessanly move very far when the tide
changes, but rather, they just stop
biting. During that tournament on
the Potomac. two competitors
were fishing a spot that looked like
it should ha'e bass every"here,
but they never had a hit.
"Then the tide changed and
they caught three bass over five
pounds in less than 15 minutes
without ever moving their boat."
Eaker cautions that outgoing
tides present another problem,
which is that it can strand a fisherman in a shallow creek or bay.
"That has happened to a lot of
bass fishermen." Eaker laughs.
"We got so engrossed in the area
we're fic;hing. especially if the bass
are blling. that we stay too long.
When that happens, you either
have to get out and push your boat
back to deeper water, or ~imply
wait six hours until the tide
changes again."
One of the techmques Eaker
and his fellow competitors often
use is to run with a tide. They may
work their way downstream with
an outgoing tide, or fish upstream
by staying just ahead of an incoming tide.
''Either way, you have to do
some careful planning." he says.
The prime time for a particular
area seldom lasts very long, so you
have to be there when it does
occur.''

I'm thinking that maybe it should be called
"reach out and grease my palm.''
The whole plan must be the bramchild of some
clever ad executive-perhaps a pet lover himselfwho has r~cogni1cd the opportunity to prey upon
folks who have become so anached to their linle
critters that they really and truly worry about their
pet's emotional state when they have to leave them
alone.
The company spokesman admitted in the article
that if that catches on, the added calls would mean
more money for the phone company.
And, rest assured, there's bound to be a few people somewhere who'll run up their phone bills while
on vacation in Paris-or some other exotic placebecause they want to make daily reports to their
lonely poodles back in the states
I hope I get a chance to read a follow-up story,
perhaps some sort of survey, about how this plan
worked out. I guess I'm curious to see if folks are
as gullible as some people think they are.
Nevertheless, pet lovers are special people
because they really care.
I'm not a pet lover.
Perhaps I ought to be.

Books let children
see their future
•
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
Isaac Bentley wants to be a paleontologist when he
grows up.
Many people may have that same dream, but few
have them when they are five.
Isaac said he wants to dig up dinosaur bones and
put them back together in a museum. His favorite
dinosaur is the Tyrannosaurus Rex. He says he's
never seen one, but his mom has read many books
about dinosaurs to him.
ll Shonia Bentley says her son's imagination and
quest for knowledge, especially about dinosaurs,
comes directly from their reading sessions since he
was a small child.
"I've been reading to him since he was four
months old," Bentley said.
Bentley is one of about 20 percent of all parents
who know that reading to her children is important.
"Once upon a time" is a phrase that, for adults, can
revive memories of curling up in Mommy's tap or
hearing Granddad's gentle voice or feeling secure and
happy as the day ended and sleep neared.
Yet few parents -just 20 percent according to
Vivian Whitehead, a VISTA volunteer working with
the David School and Hi Top Preschool - take the
time to read to their kids.
•
"Studies show that if parents read to their
preschool children just 15 minutes a day, it would
make so much difference," she said. "It would revolutionize education."
The parents at Hi Top are in the 20 percent.
"Reading to them increases their vocabulary so
much," Donna Ousley said. Her son D.J. especially
likes 1bursdays at preschool. That's one of the days
mom comes to read to him.
"He has such an imagination after I read to him,"
Shonia Bentley added. She said she also read to her
daughter when she was younger as well.
''I've been reading to him since he was little,"
Melissa Messer said of her son Adam.
Kenni Craft's daughter Jonna likes to act out her
ooks after they've been read to her. "She'd rather
have someone to read to her than to play," Craft said.
"And 1 try to point out the different words so she
realizes there's more that goes with the story than the
pictures,'' Vonda Brown added. One of her daughter
Brittany's favorite books is the Lion King.
Other favorite books include anything by Dr.
Seuss; anything about dinosaurs and other animals;
books about bugs; and one in particular, "The Green
Queen."
"'The Green Queen is Elizabeth's favorite," Cindy
Green said. ''She thinks she can read it, the words are
so simple."
Green has two children in the preschool Elizabeth and Josh. Her husband, Marty, is the principal of the high school at the David School.
Chad Wallace's favorite book is about Floppsy,
• Cotton Tail and Peter Rabbit. "Peter keeps getting
into mischief," Chad said.
'They like to be read to no matter what age they
are," Cindy Green added.
What some parents don't realize is that by reading
to their children, they are helping them do better in
school. Reading helps children develop their listening
and language skills, both critical for success in
school.
''Children who have been read to become readers
themselves," said Sara Callaway, family literacy
branch manager in the state Department for Adult
Education and Literacy. "We transfer our values
regarding education to children through our actions,
just as we transfer our moral values to children_. When
we set aside time in our busy day to read to children,
we're giving them the message that it is an important
activity."
(J
A U.S. Department of Education study in 1987
showed that children whose parents read to them regularly, make books available and encourage exploration of books and writing are typically more successful students
And successful students are better prepared to enter the work force
or continue their education.
How early should this process of
lifelong learning begin? Experts say
that reading to children should start
as soon as they are brought home
from the hospital as newborns.
"Reading to infants is important," Callaway said. "Even though
they don't understand the meaning,
the get used to sounds and the spoken language,"
There are other benefits as well.
"In addition to preparing them
for school, reading strengthens the
relationship between parents and
children," Callaway said, "Reading
can create a wonderful bonding
opportunity.
"There just aren't many things
more special than slowing down,
snuggling up with your children and
reading them a story," she said,
"especially with the hectic and
stressful lives most of us lead."
The following tips can help parents start their children on a lifetime
of reading.
• Read to your child, even
Isaac Bentley and his mother Shonla read a book during HI Top Preschool's parent and child time.
'"'I'm not as interested in the age of rocks as I am
in the Rock of Ages," William Jennings Bryan was
fond of saying in interviews and speeches in July of
1925 as he assisted the State of Tennessee's prosecution of biology teacher John Thomas Scopes in
Dayton, Tennessee, for teaching the evolution theory
of creativity which had recently been outlawed in
Tennessee.
Bryan was a famous American. He had been headlined in the nation's papers for thirty years since he
surprisingly took the Democratic nomination for president at the youthful age of 36.
The jury was selected on the first day which found
defense attorney Clarence Darrow ObJecting to the
opening prayer and to a display of religious signs in
the courtroom including a large "Read your Bible
daily" banner above Judge Raulston's bench.
The next trial day was no better for Darrow as
Rev. Moffett prayed, "Oh God, our Father, Thou who
are the creator of the heaven and the earth and the sea
and all that is in them, Thou who are the preserver
and controller of all things, Thou who wilt bring out
all things to Thy glory in the end, we thank Thee this
morning that Thou dost not only fill the heavens, but
Thou doesn't also fill the Earth."
Darrow objected saying the prayer, and its content,
was highly improper.
"Overruled." Judge Raulston quickly responded. "I
always open court with a prayer whenever a minister
is available.''
"Judge, I don't object to you or this jury or anyone
else praying in secret or privately," Darrow explained.
"I do object to this courtroom being turned into a
meeting house in the trial of this case. You have no
right to do it. Since this case concerns a conflict
between science and religion there should be no
attempt to influence the jury by prayer."
One of the prosecution lawyers objected to
Darrow's remarks and denied that the case was a conflict between science and religion.
"Your honor, this case involves whether or not a
school teacher has taught a doctnne prohibited by
statute," Attorney General Stewart spoke up. "Such
an idea extended by the agnostic counsel for the
defense is foreign to the thoughts and ideas of the
people.''
This started a furor in the courtroom.
"Your honor, I strongly object to his use of the
phrase 'agnostic counsel for the defense,"' defense
attorney Arthur Garfield Hays said.
"Your honor, I am not an agnostic and I am one of
the counsel for the defense," Dudley Field Malone
avered. "The statement by the prosecULion is highly
improper and I object to it. I might add that prayers in
the courtroom during this particular trial increase the
atmosphere of hostility to our point of view, a hostility which already exists in the community due to
widespread propaganda."
This statement by Malone incensed the attorney
general.
"I would advise Mr. Malone, your honor, that this
is God-fearing country," Stewart responded.
"It is no more God-fearing than that from which 1
came," Malone retorted.
Raulston ended the exchange by telling the two
camps not to tum the issue into an argument. It would
come up nearly every day of the trial, however.
Bryan had spread propaganda since his arrival by
polarizing the two sides, saying the trial was between
country folks and city dwellers and God versus
Darwin.
One of John T. Scopes' students was called to the
witness stand.
"He taught us that the earth was once a hot molten
mass, too hot for plant or animal life to live," 14-year
old Howard Morgan said upon questioning. "The
earth cooled off in the sea and a one-celled organism
was formed. It kept changing until it got to be pretty
good sized and then carne on the land to live. It kept
evolving until man evolved from it."
The prosecution felt Scopes had violated the
statute and that they had proved their case. Darrow
said the statute was unconstitutional but the judge
denied his claim. The defense then attempted to prove
that the evolution theory didn't deny the story of the
divine creation as taught in the Bible and Darrow
attempted to introduce evidence from expert witnesses as to the meaning of evolution and whether it was
consistent with religion. Darrow had many of the top
scientists in America in Dayton to testify. They would
not get the opportunity.
Scopes was charged with teaching the evolution
theory of creation and the prosecution had seemingly
done the1r job in proving that, But the thousands of
people who had converged on Dayton, Tennessee, and
those who read the accounts of activities in newspapers and magazines around the country were interested in the broader question-the battle between the

Senior citizens, it seems whenever I write an article that relates to
the concerns you have affording
prescribed
medications,
your
Benefits Counseling Coordinator's
phone rings more than at any other
times.
Carol Napier, benefits counseling coordinator for the Big Sandy
area, whose office is at Legal
Services in Prestonsburg, assured
me yesterday that for the past two
weeks, after senior citizens read
articles in th1s column dealing with
their not being able to afford prescribed medications, many called
her hoping that she could help them.
These peoples' needs were not
unlike thousands of others who
have talked with other coordinators
throughout Kentucky. Not being
about to afford the necessary medications to sustain or improve one's
health is a serious and on-going
problem. But this massive problem
is not just here in the Bluegrass
state. It's a national nightmare.
Older Americans, throughout the
nation, on fixed incomes, with limited or no insurance, simply cannot
afford to buy the medicines they
need to stay healthy or get well.
Last week I offered ten suggestions that might help you. If you did
not read those, you can call your
coordinator at 886-3876 or toll-free
1-800-556-3876. A copy of that
article can be mailed to you.
Today, I will discuss two programs that have helped hundreds of
thousands of people by providing
free medications to them. Maybe
one of these programs can help you.
However, there are a few things
that must be understood at the onset
to avoid misunderstandings. One is,
don't assume that your doctor will
know about these programs. It may
be that you must tell him/her that
they exist. You may have to go one
step further and offer to provide literature that will explain these programs to him/her.
Literature can be made available
to you and to your doctor. Another
is, don't assume that every doctor
will be willing to make application
to these programs for you. Doctors
have reasons for the things they are
willing to do, as well as those things
they are not willing to do, just as
you and I have reasons for the
things we do and don't do.
And, finally, once your doctor
knows that you cannot afford the
medications they prescribed, they
may know of another program that
will help you. Or, the doctor may
determine a way to see that you get
the necessary medications at a lesser charge or at no cost. Oftentimes
one's doctor does not know a
patient's true financial burdens. It is
the patient's responsibility to tell
the doctor when you can't afford the
prescriptions they want you to have.
Don't feel badly if you must tell
this to your doctor. You certainly
won't be the first one to have told
him this. And, in all honesty, doc-

Pharmaceutical manufacturers
listen to the doctors. Doctors arc the
lifelines of their companies just as
patients are the lifelines of the doctor's pracuces.
There is one program called
PhRMA. Not all pharmaceutical
manufacturers are members of the
PhRMA organization. PhRMA has
a directory available. Your doctor
may very well be aware of this
patient

program.
Eligibility guidelines differ from
one pharmaceutical company to
another.

An Increase in water rates will
most likely be approved by the
Martin City Council because the
city is lighting to keep from drown·
ing in a sea of unforeseen debts.
At Thesday's city council meet·
ing, first reading was held on an ordinance that would raise the mimmum monthly household water bill
to $21 .96, which would tnclude
charges for sewage. One dollar was
added to the cost for a minimum of
2,000 gallons usage and a $1.95
hike for each 1,000 gallons used
over the min1mum.
Water rates have not risen in
Martin since 1982, clerk Johnnie B.
Stephens told council and the rate
increase is necessary to generate
enough funds to pay the bondtng
debt for the new sewage treatment
plant.
The thefts occurred bet ween last
October and Januat) 22.
Some of the men were Wal·Mart
employees and helped other individuals smuggle merchand1se from
the store. The goods were then
taken to other retail outlets m the

The Flo_y d County Times
Districts put damper on political hopefuls
by Patti M. C lark
Staff Writer
The new redistrictmg plan for
the House and Senate has dashed
the political hopes of a Garrett man.
Ralph O'Quinn was watching
with bated breath to see if the area
where he lives would end up in
Donny Newsome's 92nd district or
m Herbie Deskins' 94th district.
He lost.

meaning the county has been split

rather than three times as was

But for O'Quinn, it doesn't matter. He wanted the area where he
lives to be in Ne\\some's district.

"I wanted to run m the 92nd."
O'Quinn said. "It would be political

He said he felt the recent
realignment of House and Senate
districts favors the mcumbent.
"They were divided accordmg 10

was dismissed Wednesday in Floyd
District Court.
Harvey Lee Isaac, 22, of Homer,
Michigan, was arrested by state
police January 14 after a woman
said she had been abducted by the

drive him to Melvm.
Prior to a preliminary hearing
Wednesday, Kentucky State Police
detective Joel Newsome informed
Distnct Judge James Allen the
alleged victim, Laura England, 22,
of Albion, Michigan. told police
she did not want to pursue the

charges against Isaac because of
the time it would entail to travel
from Michigan.
County attorney pro tern John

that motion.
Isaac is facing other charges in
Michigan, Newsome said, and will
be extradtted to that state.
After Isaac's arrest, police
learned that England \\as a former

Prior to Martin addressing cou,{lCII about the incident and after the
pig's body was carried into the
meeting room, resident Joe
Stmpson got into a yelling match
with Martin because Simpson said
the dead animal had been dragged
across his feet.
"l don't appreciate that ... thing
being drug across my feet,"
Simpson yelled at Martin. "If
there's blood on my pants the city
will pay for it."
''What's the matter with you.
Joe?'' Martm asked. ''You're a
country boy. Stop trying to act like
a city slicker."
"I don't appreciate it being drug
agamst
my
leg," Simpson
answered.
"Well, excuse me, Barbie,"
Martin countered.
Wh1cker instructed cuy officer
Fred Mynhier to remove Martin
from the meeting. Martin went into
the hallway and Simpson followed.
The two exchanged words and
Simpson returned to the meeting
saying Martin had threatened him.
"That fellow needs to be
removed," Simpson told counciL
"He causes a lot of problems. He
threatened me. I ought to go out to
the car and get my rifle and clean
out the whole crowd."
There were a few tense
moments as city employees tried to
calm the two men. Mynhier took
Martin outside, where he could be
heard shouting for most of the
meeting.
Simpson simmered in the meeting and muttered under his breath.
Finally. the meeting returned to
order and council proceeded with
busmess. The last item of business
was to let Martin talk about the
incident.
''Let him come in," the mayor
told City workers. "Burke killed his
hog."
After discussing the issue,
Whicker said that he would request
an mvestigation into the shooting
from the sheriff's office or the state
police so that Martin would have a
record of the mctdent.
Martm commented that he really
didn't care and left the meeting.
Simpson apologi1ed to the
council for his earlier actions and
said he lost his temper.
City clerk Johnnie B. Stephens
commented, "we were all a little
distraught."
Whicker pretty well summed up
the whole incident by saying, "Just
when you think you've seen it all,
you see a little more. It ain't too
often you see a dead pig m city
hall."

aspiratiOn~ for about 30 years. ''It
started when I first began teachmg
social studies to my students," the
Duff Elementary princ1pal sa1d.
"This year. I'm eligible to retire
from the school system."
If he IS ever elected to the legislature, O'Quinn said he would like
to serve on the education commtttee and would specifically like to
address how schools arc funded.
"I think they should go by membership rather than ADA (average
daily attendance)," O'Qumn said.
"That way. schools will know what
they are getting annually."
He sa1d he would also like to
address the unmined minerals tax,
but IS unsure how he would go on
that ISSUe.

"There', a couple of ..,. ays to
look at 11," he -;aid.
He said residents v. ho pay taxes
on the surface land shouldn't be
required to pay taxes on the
unmined coal, but those who own
just the mineral rights to a pu:ce of
land. many who live out of state~
should be obligated to pay.
And what about the Kentucky
Education Reform Act'! O'Quinn
said he'd like to see some changes
there as well.
"Especially in the area of testing," he said.
But unless the redistricting plan
is ruled unconstitutional, he won't
get a chance to voice his opinions
on the House floor.
"But I'll do something else and
be right happy about doing it," he
said.

Bob Lewandowski, with Big
Sandy ADD, told council that the
mcrease was imperative and that
the 1mpact of the ra1se could have
been softened if rates had been
increased over the years
Lewandowski added that if the
city cannot pay the bonding debt,
state officials and bond holders
\It would take over the operation of
the system.
Council members said they didn't want to levy the increase, but
that it was necessary in order to
pay for the new sewer plant.
Councilwoman Hazel Robinson
voted against the increase.
Mayor Alan Whicker told council that unexpected bills related to
the sewer and water department
come across h1s desk daily and he
cannot Inform the council of how
much ts owed because he doesn't
know.
'Tm confused too," Whicker
satd. "That's why I can't enlighten
you people, because I don't know.
We've had to sort our way through
and try to piece it together ourselves."
The mayor explained that a
$12,000 bill for interest was
recently received on a $450,000
loan to begin the sewer project. ·
Whicker said he and the city clerk
were unaware of the debt, but that
it had to be paid.
"I don't know why the bank
didn't request interest payments,"
the mayor said. "Now we're stuck
with the lump .sum. I'm beyond the
shock at this point. It doesn't
shock me anymore (to receive
unanticipated bills)."
Councilman Steve Farthing
asked the mayor 1f he thought most
of the outstanding debts on the
project have been received.
''I'd like to tell you yeah, but
I'm afra1d, to," Whicker answered.
"I may have to come back to the
next meeting with something
else.''
In other action Tuesday:
• The mayor announced that the
city's sewer operator is resigning
January 31 and a replacement is
needed. Whicker said that the
Department for Local Government
is sending h1m a list of qualified
operators and he will attempt to
find someone for the job.
• Council authorized Wh1cker to
negotiate with former Mayor
Ra:>mond Gnffith to purchase the
property where the city park is
located Griffith said previously
the property is appraised at
$15,000, but he would sell it to the
city for $10.000. Council members
said that Griffith's offer was too
high.
• Fire chief Wilham Petry
reported that the state fire marshal
said that the city could begin tearing down a building owned by
Peachie Collins deemed unsafe.
Counctl suggested that Petry check
with city attorney Tim Parker
before taking any action.
cotics at the hospital. He added
Gardner also bragged in letters that
he went to Las Vegas and had
access to large quantities of
cocaipe.
Gardner, who is black, filed a
civil rights lawsuit in December
against three Floyd County
Sheriff's deputies claiming a
search of his home on December 1
was racially motivated. He accused
deputies of making racial slurs and
• harassing other blacks in the area
who were attending a wake.
One deputy, Ricky Newsome,
was later dropped from the lawsuit
and Newsome filed a $1 million
civil suit against Gardner saying
Gardner slandered him professionally and personally. Sheriff Paul
Hunt Thompson has said Newsome
was out of town when the ratd was
conducted.
Gardner is charged with possession of a controlled substance,
~ Tylox; possession of marijuana;
possession of drug paraphernalia;
and prescription drugs not in the
proper container.
Deputy Steve Toy, who was
named in Gardner's lawsuit, testified about the raid Wednesday.
Toy said an informant had made
a complaint on November 30 that
large amounts of marijuana and a
white powder substance that
appeared to be cocaine were being
bagged in Gardner's home.
Gardner's attorney, Eric Conn,
grilled Toy about the search warrant and wanted to k.now why it
listed the alleged drug dealer as
John Doe, Stewart, an AfricanAmerican male.
Toy explained that the informant only knew Gardner by a nickname, but the informant had taken
officers to the residence. Toy added
that it was not known it was
Gardner's residence prior to the
search.
The officer testified Jab results
showed a schedule II narcotic,
Tylox, and marijuana was found at
Gardner's home. He also said an
assault rifle, shotgun, police scanner and scanner codes were seized
from the home.
Conn asked why guns were not
specifically written on the search
warrant for Gardner's home.
Toy explained the informant had
said automatic weapons were at the
home and the guns were covered
under a clause in the warrant that
said any items that may be used in
the commission of a crime.
District Judge James Allen ruled
that there was probable cause to
initiate the charges and referred the
case to a grand jury.
Prior to the hearmg, Gardner
asked h1s attorney if he should sit
at the defense table, and Conn
replied, "this is the white section,
but we'll let you sit here."
Majntundar to coiDpete
A Floyd Countian will compete
for the title of Miss Teen East
Kentucky 1996.
Monica Majmundar, 15-year-old
daughter of Drs. Gopal and Mina
Majmundar of Martin, will be contestant number seven in the

Thunder of silence
is loud and clear
Editor:
Th1s letter was written to save
lives. All sarcasm directed toward
big government and hypothetical
legislative processes is intentional.
Since 1948 an important medical
study has been conducted in
Framingham, Massachusetts, which
has identified a CQrrclation between
high cholesterol and heart disease.
The most important d1scover)
about the group of subjects examined was that no person w to consistently had a total cholesterol
reading bclo"' 150 has ever suffen~d a heart attack.
For all adult Americans, the
range of total cholesterol is represented by a density function called
a bell curve. This means that more
people have cholesterol readings
clustered ncar t.he peak of the bell
than near the edges. Knowing that
total cholesterol below 150 is a safe
level. it is poss1ble to use yearly
coronary death rate and average
cholesterol statistics along with a
mortaltty function represented by a
ramp to predict the death rate for
any national average cholesterol. A
reduction in cholesterol to 190 from
the current 205 will save 200,000
lives yearly. A mo1e dramatic savings of 500,000 lives per year will
require a reduction of average cholesterol to 167
The yearly death rate of 923,000
due w heart disease is a national
scandal because heart disease is
now preventable What would have
happened if the same number of
people had been killed by firearms
last year. Congress would attempt
to pass legislation to confiscate
every reg1stcred firearm owned by
private citizens. What will happen
if 923,000 people die on our highways in 1996? Congress would not
dare to confiscate our automobiles
but certainly would attempt to
lower the speed limit on the
Interstate to 35 mph. Finally, what
will Congress do when the latest
statistics are released regarding
heart disease deaths. All we will
hear is the thunder of silence.
This amazing disregard for the
sanctity of human life by our government ind1cates a serious leadership vacuum m this country. The
leadership attribute we must expect
from all our elected representatives
is to improve our quality of life at
the lowest possible cost while
maintaining our national sovereignty. Heart disease is a quality of life
issue because it is a life or death
decision we can make with life
extended by prevention of the discase.
The first action by Congress to
mitigate this disaster is to establish
truthful guidelines regarding safe
total cholesterol levels. The current
guideline recommending that
improvement or treatment only
when cholesterol readings arc
above 240 is not laughable, but a
very sad commentary about the
arrogant disregard of prevention of
disease as a cure.
Congress must surmount pressures from spec1al interests and take
the offen~ivc against foods containing saturated or hydrogenated fat
which are so dangerous to our
health. A tax based upon total content of either type of fat in
processed foods or beverages must
be enacted. A tax causing a voluntary improvement in diet creates
less social upheaval than an out·
right ban on dangerous foods.
Citizens would rightfully object to
fonnation of a federal food police.
Imagine the outburst of resentment
if an FEA margarine bust as a result
of a false tip by an infonner is
attempted against a family enjoying
a Sunday breakfast together.
Taxes collected on hard fats
should be used to supplement the
Medicare portion of FICA. The
explosive growth of Medicare will
decrease as wellness among the
elderly increases resulting in •a stabilizing cap on Medicare FICA
taxes collected from wage earners.

Editor:
We w11l long remember the
"Great Blizzard of 1996'' that
dumped two feet of snow on
Eastern Kentucky and paralyzed all
of us, at least in terms of mobility. I
am writing to express my gratitude
to Judge Executive Ben Hale. f
Magistrate Gerald DeRossett and
his crew, area media, Prestonsburg
Communi!) College M&O staff led
by BiJJ Bays, and our entire college
family for working together and
making the best of a bad situation.
Th1s blizzard came dunng our
spring registration. And, had it not
been for District 1 Magistrate
Gerald DeRossett, his crew, and
P.C.C. M&O staff who "rescued us"
by clearing our parking lots that
were buried in two feet of snow, we
would not have been abl~.: to open
for business two days after the bli7- t
zard for registration . Had It not
been for competent local radio,
televisiOn and pnnting media who
juggled the ever changing infonna
tion from many sources, we would
not have been able to communicate
clearly with our students and
employees. I applaud our deans.
faculty, leadership. employees and
students who demonstrated that
they can work together, especially
during the trying times of a bl izzard.
I hope that we do not experience
another bljzzard hkc the "Great
Blizzard of 1996," but I take great M
comfort in knowing I Jive and work
in a community with neighbors and
friends that suppon each other and
pull together.

In order to clear a backlog of
criminal cases, Floyd Circuit Judge
John
David
Caudill
and
Commonwealth Attorney John Earl
Hunt held a Saturday court session
January 20 and set the disposition
for 89 pcndmg cases.
Judge Caudill said Saturday that
it 1s not unusal to set aside a day to
review pendmg cases that have
been idle for some time. Caudill
said Saturday's session brought the
court docket up to date and that
some of the cases reviewed dated
back to 1990.
Most of the charges dealt with
Saturday were not major crimes,
Caudill said, and most of the dismissals related to either restitution
being made, or that those involved
in the case had died.
"Many of these cases should be
dismissed for various and' sundry
reasons," Caudill said
Hunt agreed that Saturday sessions are not uncommon and he
added that he has had similar sessions with Circuit Judge Danny P.
Caudill.
"We're getting ahead of it,"
Hunt said Saturday. "For the last
two years we've worked hard in
concert with the courts to do that.
We want to see JUStice served in any
given case."
The charges, ages or addresses
of the following individuals whose
cases were reviewed were not
available:
Harold Brown, dismissed without prejudice for six months;
Ronnie Spradlin, dismissed w1thout

The All A boys' regiOnal class1c
got underway at the T.W Ohver
Fieldhouse in Pikeville this past
Wednesday night and the 15th
Region's
top-ranked
team,
Pruntsville had little trouble winning over the Allen Central Rebels.
The two teams, who have been
fierce rivals smce the '93 regional,
battled on the court w1th the Tigers
coming home with a 93-66 win.
The two teams met in the second
game of the opening round of the
boys 15th Regional All A Class1c.
Craig Ratliff. Josh McKenzie
and Todd Tackett combined for 68
of the 93 points to lead the Tigers to
their tenth win of the season. Ratliff
and McKenzie each scored 23
pomts and Tackett added 22.
Sophomore
sensation
J.R.
Vanhoose finished with nine points
after spending most of the game on
the bench in foul trouble.
Junior Thomas Jenkins put on a
show of hiS own and finished with
28 pomts to lead the Rebels scoring. Brian Crawford, a sophomore,
totaled eight pomts. as did senior
John Moore.
Paintsville had its complete
game going versus Allen Central.
Team members cut off the passmg
lanes of the Rebs on defense and
raced up and down the floor on
offense. The up tempo Tigers
picked up Allen Central at threequarter court and it was an adventure for the Rebels to get the ball up
court.
With 6:52 to play in the first
quarter it was already 6-0
Paintsville on two Allen Central
turnovers. A short base line jumper
by Jason Baker and a basket by
Jenkins made it a 6-4 game with
4:43 to play in the first. But the
Tigers' height and outside shooting
gave Paintsville a 20-12 first-quarter lead.
While the Rebels stayed close
on the play of Jenkins and Baker in
the first, the Tigers turned up the

By design, the Betsy Layne
Bobcats are a patient team this
season and head coach Junior
Newsome said that's the way
they need to play the game.
"We have to be patient to get
our big man involved in the
offense," he said.
The patience of Betsy Layne
on the hardwood has been good
for them as they have posted a 95 overall record and arc 2-0 in
conference play. Betsy Layne
won its second conference battle
by posting a 61-50 win over a
good Prestonsburg team on the
road Tuesday night.
The Bobcats will run the clock
before taking a hurried shot. The
patient offense has allowed big
man Jonathan Newman to be in
the center of things. Just his
presence on the court and in the
middle gives Betsy Layne a
strong inside game.
"We just want to come out
with each game and play as hard
as we can," the Betsy Layne
coach said. "We look to improve
with each game and I think we
arc seeing that right now."
Junior guard Rocky Newsome
scored a game-high 20 points
and Jason Tackett added 16 to
lead the Bobcats' scoring. But
Newsome is more valuable in
runmng the ballclub and picked
up II assists.
But another important factor
was the defense the Bobcats
threw at Prestonsburg. shutting

South Floyd gives
Betsy Layne scare
before falling, 68-67
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Betsy Layne head girls' basket·
ball coach Bill Newsome said he
was just glad to get out of Raider
Arena with a victory after his Lady
Cats were almost ambushed by
Henry Webb's Lady Raiders.
Betsy Layne survived the last
three shots of the game by South
Aoyd and eked out a 68-67 win in
conference play
Betsy Layne improved to 8-5
overall, but more importantly,
stayed undefeated in conference
play with a 3-0 mark. South Floyd,
though vastly improved, rell to 1 9
on the year and 0-3 in the conference.
"We're going to get somebody
yet," Coach Webb said. H1s team
has taken some of the regional
heavyweights to the limits in the
past six games. ''I'm proud of these
girls and the way they played
against Betsy Layne tonight."
Proud is the right word after the
Lady Raiders looked as if they were
ready to put a dent in the conference record of Betsy Layne. In fact,
South Floyd had the final aim at the
basket in an attempt to pull off a
major, major upset.
With only 8.8 seconds to play,
Jill Martin stood at the Betsy Layne
free throw line with her team nursing a one-point, 68-67 lead.
Martin's first attempt rolled off the
rim. Her second try didn't even
make it to the rim with the ball
going over to South Floyd.
Lady Raider point guard Chrissy
Tackett raced up court with the basketball, pulled up for an 18-footer
that missed the mark to the right.
Tiffany Compton grabbed the loose
ball and put it back up. but it was
too soft The Lady Raiders had a
th1rd shot, but missed as the horn
rung loud ending the affair.
"I wanted Chnssy to take the
ball all the way to the basket,"
Webb said ''If she: had, they would
have fouled her or she would have
scored.''

• "Our defense was good at
times. We had some let downs at

on
offense," said
Coach

Ho" good was the Bobcats'
Inside defense? Jarvis was held
scoreless for the game and

Allen surprises Melvin, 43-29
by Ed Taylor
Spons Editor
Count them, 1-2-3.
The Allen Eagles held the htghscoring Melvin Cougars to three
field goals in the first half and had
little trouble in the second half as
the Eagles stretched their wings and
soarl!d to a 43-29 win this past
Wednesday night.
Perhaps more of an effect on the
final score was the defense of Allen
holding Charlie Williams to just
three points for the game. Williams,
one of the county's top grade
schoolers, had a first-quarter field
goal and hit a free throw in the
third.
Allen got ten points each from
Seth Crisp and Dustin Blanton.
Mark Burchett had a first-quarter
three-pointer and finished with
seven points. Blanton hit threepointers in the first and second periods.
Allen's defense smothered the
Cougars as they raced to a 16-6
lead. Dusty Tackett, who led the
Cougars with ten points, had four in
the opening quaner.
Crisp tossed in four first· quarter
points with Blanton hittsng one
three-pointer for five points. Nathan
H1ll had all four of his pomts in the
first stanza.
Tackett would be the lone scorer
for Melvin in the second period as
the team managed only one field
goal. Allen led 23-8 at the half.
The thtrd penod did not prove

Coroner rules shooting was homicide
For
Your

The Paintsville Herald
NEWS TO USE
No arrests have been made in a
shooting that left a Johnson
County man dead.
Ronnie
Tackett,
34.
of
Paintsville died of a single gunshot wound to the abdomen, state
police at Pikeville said.
Tackett was found lying beside
in the driveway of a
Greentown residence at l 0:15
p.m. Saturday, state police said.
Tackett's sister, Darlene Dye,
lives in the house, Kentucky State
Police Detective Paul Estep said
Monday.
Tackett was taken to Paul B.
Hall Regional Medical Center in
Paintsville,
where
Johnson
County Coroner J.R. Frisby pronounced him dead at 11:06 p.m.
State police initially said they
could not determine whether the
gunshot wound was self-inflicted
or "if a perpetrator was involved,"
according to a press release from
the state police post in Pikeville.
An autopsy revealed that the
wound was not self-inflicted,
Frisby said Monday.
"He definitely did not shoot
himself,'' Fnsby sa1d. "It was a
homic1de."
Although no arrests have been
made, a caller to the local 9 I 1 system 1dentllied possible suspects in
the shooting.
The caller told a dispatcher that
Tackett was shot by two men,
accordtng to 91 I logs.
The female caller identified the
men by name, saying they had
called and threatened to "come to
her res1dence and cause trouble.''
The Herald is not identifying
the men because they have not
been charged in connection with
the shooting.
The woman called the 91 I center at I0:40 p.m .. 25 minutes after
Tackell was found in the driveway.
Fnsby and Estep, neither of
whorn was aware of the 911 call,
said they did not know the caller's
connection to the incident. Estep
was to have received a copy of the
log on Monday.

MAPCO sold to New York firm

The sale of one of Martin
County's largest employers to a New
York-based investment group may
sound scary to folks who make their
livmg with that company, but Charles
Wesley, a 22-year veteran of
MAPCO Coal, Inc. said Monday that
the move IS the ''best news I've bad
since I've been with the company"
The sale of MAPCO Coal to The
Beacon Group of New York, New
York was announced January 22, at
12:30 p.m. through a press release
from the Thlsa, Oklahoma office.
Wesley, who is Vice President of
MAPCO's coal operations in the
Maryland and east Kentucky
regions, said the sale is for about
$300 million. He also said the move
will not affect local management or
hourly workers except that "it will
give us a chance to be stabilized
with a company that has a chance to
grow."
Wesley was joined in a press
conference Monday at the offices of
The Martin County Sun by MAPCO
Public Relations Manager Mike
Templeman. Both men were elated
at the sale after what they called
"months of speculanon and rumors
concerning the sale of MAPCO
Coal. Inc."
"MAPCO is a very large company and the coal operation makes up
only about 18 percent of the company's business with oil and gas transmission taking up most of the company's time and assets,'' Templeman

Prosecutors in the sex cnmes
case against Lawrence county pastor and former county clerk Ga1lie
Isaac Sr., have filed a motion asking that Isaac undergo an evaluation program.
Isaac, 78. was convicted in
November on I 3 counts of sodomy
and sexual abuse charges against
four young boys, but IS out on
bond pending an appeal in his
case.
Assistant Attorney General
Luke Morgan argued that although
Isaac is out on bond, he should still
undergo evaluation.
"This evaluation may give the
Court helpful ins1ght into the
potential for the defendant to
repeat these crimes," Morgan said
in his motion filed earlier this
month in Lawrence Circu1t Court.
Also, Morgan is asking that
Isaac be placed in a sexual offender treatment program while he is
awaiting appeal.
"If he had been sent to the penitentiary, he would be enrolled in
such a program," Morgan said.
"So. too. if he had been probated.

It is respectfully submitted there is
no rational basis for not putting the
defendant in such a program."
Isaac's attorney, Eldred "Bud"
Adams Jr., filed a response arguing
that the statute in quest10n does not
apply to Isaac's case.
Adams said the evaluation
should only be granted if the court
is considering a suspended sentence, grants probation or grants a
conditional d1scharge.
"Even if the statutes that do not
apply did apply, the defendant has
continued to maintain his mnocence,'' Adams said in a response.
"Under those circumstances it
hardly makes sense to him for an
evaluation in light of the fact that
he now has an appeal pending and
the Supreme Court may reverse the
case."
Also, Adams said he should not
be enrolled in such a program due
to his physical condition.
"I! is not practical for the defendant to make a round trip to
Pikeville of 150 mjJes for evaluation or participation in a program
given his age and physical condition," Adams said. "At the very
least, any ruling on the motion
should be postponed until the case
is final."
Lawrence
Circuit
Judge
Stephen "Nick" Frazier has yet to
rule on the motion.
Adams appealed Isaac's case on
several pOints in the tnal, the most
significant being the way Frazier
broke up the charges in two trials.
Isaac still faces 12 addillonal
charges involving four other boys,
but no trial date has been set.
Attorneys said it may take up to
two years for Isaac's appeal to be
heard.
said. "As employees of the company
we were naturally concerned about
who the company would be sold to,"
he added.
Beacon Group 1s made of nine
individuals with vast experience in
the energy industry, Wesley said.
One of the group serves on the
Board of Directors of N&S Railway
(an affiliate of Pocahontas Land Co.)
and others are well known m the
investment industry throughout the
world.
"This (sale) gives us the opportunity to be mcluded in a long term
commitment to the coal business and
makes our operation much more stable," Wesley said.
The deal will be completed in
March of 1996 and engineers from
two large companies will be in
Martin County next week to look
over MAPCO's local operations and
verify that what the company told
the investment group about its oper
ation is factual, Wesley said, matter
offactly.
MAPCO's Martin County operations have reserves that will last for
several years. In fact, Templeman
said Pontiki's coal reserves are good
for 18 years and Martiki 's for etght
years (including the just-opened cast
Pigeon Roost operation). But with
the new investment group as owners, the company will be actively
seeking other reserves and will
expand its coal operations meaning
more jobs and a more stable future
for those who work for the company
now. Wesley said.
The Beacon Group 1s usmg
MAPCO as the base to build its coal
divisiOn on, Wesley said.
Edith and Paul Skeens' two·
day ordeal ended Monday when
two members of the Feds Creek
Volunteer Fire Department found
their IS-year-old son, Edward
Allen Skeens, lodged 1n some
brush floating on the Lev1sa Fork
of the Big Sandy River
The body was pulled from the
river about 2:30 p.m., near Feds
Creek, where Pike County
Coroner Charles Morris pronounced Skeens dead. Morris
said he would not officially
attribute the cause of death to
drowning pendmg the results of
an
autopsy
performed
in
Frankfort.
"There was nothing out of the
ordinary that I could see," Morris
said.
Morris said he expects the
autopsy results by the end of the
week.
Skeens had been missing s1nce
about 10:30 p.m. Saturday when a
friend he was with, Dav1d
Lawson, asked him to start hts
Chevy S- I 0 p1ckup truck that was
parked outs1de a Shell Mart at the
Kentucky-Virginia state line.
Lawson told Virginia State
Police (VSP) Trooper George
Bell he came out to the parking
lot and saw where the truck had
broken through a fence and rolled
into the river, but there was no
sign of Skeens.
The truck was found the next
morning, about 200 yards downriver, and Skeens' body was discovered more than six miles
downnver.
Skeens' disappearance was
onginally thought to be a missing
person case by the VSP, because
it was thought Skeens possibly
ran away when the accident

Let's just get one thing straight here.
Michael Irvin can say anything he wants,
any way he wants, any time he wants.
Michael Irvin, in case you didn't know, is
one of the Ninja Turtles. and ....
Huh?
Oh, that's Michaelangelo.
Sorry.
Michael Irvin is a Cowboy. a Dallas
Cowboy, who is fond of using four-letter
words during television interviews.
He's not a bit bashful about using them,
either, even though his mother has threatened to wa:-.h his mouth out with soap if he
doesn't clean up his potty mouth.
Reluctantly. we' II confess that Irvin's
choice of words is permissible under the
law, but that doesn't mean we have to like it.
Granted, we all tend to stray on occasion
from polite conversation. and sometimes an
expletive springs from our lips before we've
had time to think of what we are saying.
But therl! aren't that many of us like
Irvin, who are so revered by millions of
kids.

Hey, most of our own kids wouldn•t give
us the time of day, let alone wear football
jerseys with our names on them.
But Irvin, and other sports superstars, are
worshipped by multitudes of miniature fans,
and all of them should consider that fact
before they let fly all those obscenities.
Monkey see. monkey do. you know.
With all the money these guys make to
play games, you'd think they could afford to
pay someone to tutor them in the use of
euphemisms.
Kids today arc bombarded on all sides
by, urn. colorful language and there is little
wonder about why they incorporate so
many vulgarities into their routine converssations.
Hey, you can't go to the movies these
days or watch television without being
exposed to both explicit and implicit trash.
Don't get us wrong, though. we're not
proposing censorship. just that \\e need a

role models. whether they want to be or not.

Ultimately. Poncclet loses the appeal and is executed. Watching this pathetic piece, I couldn't help

Robbins and Sarandon. In tact. Robhins achieved
the opposite of what he wanted when at the end of

SOAP UPDATES
ALL MY CHILDREN: After
Trevor and Laurel caught Janet
trying to sec Amanda, Janet
accused Laurel of taking away
everything that mattered to her.
Meanwhile, Brooke and Pierce
settled into Adam's cabin where
they made love. After hearing
Mona's voice telling her to do the
right thing, Erica admitted she
was an addict. Jonathan assumed
Tad and Liza were lovers. Later.
Phoebe fired Jonathan as her doctor and Jonathan fired Gloria as
his nurse. Wait To See: Jonathan
reacts to news about Erica.
ANOTHER
WORLD:
Morgan rescued Courtney from a
menacing
Andrew.
Despite
Tomas' efforts to save her, another
patient became a victim of the
plug-puller. Grant was stunned
when Carl- still grieving for the
supposedly dead Maggi-offered
a truce. John suspended Tomas
when he admitted cheating on the
EMT exam. Josie learned Felicia
was the "other woman'' in
Sharlene's separation. After learning Tomas was suspected of being
the plug-puller, Josie vowed to
find the real killer. Wait To Sec:
Carl and Vicky's plan hits a snag.
AS THE WORLD TURNS:
Sam came out of her coma blind.
Rosanna told Mike to pursue his
dreams with Carly. A guilt-ridden
Dani watched Barbara accuse
Nikki of shoplifting. Later,
Barbara revealed the truth about
Adam's parentage in front of
Nikki, Dani, and Hal. Tom and
Hal became concerned about
Margo's behavior. Margo later
walked out of her session with the
psychiatrist. Meanwhile, Barbara
eroded Hal's confidence in Margo.
Wait To See: John and Lisa face a
crucial turn in their friendship.
BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Brooke denied to Ridge that
she bribed the doctor to declare
Ridge as Bridget's father, and
accused Stephanie of setting it up.
Macy told Thorne to take the role
in Tommy Tune's Broadway show,
NATASHA'S STARS
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Things could very easily fall into
disarray on the home front. especially early in the week. There just
seems to be too much to do.
Partners. though, are in happy rapport.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Work priorities could mean you
have to cancel a trip you'd
planned. A mtx-up in communications IS possible with a loved one.
However. time alone over the
weekend leads to inspired thought.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Changes or mix-ups 1n social plans
are likely to occur thts week. You
could feel that a child is missing
your viewpoint and taking a wrong
tum. Be sure you make an effort to
communicate better. Finances are
favored this weekend.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
You need to prioritize your schedule. You have too many irons in
the fire where business is concerned. You'll do better when you
simplify and tackle one task at a
time. The weekend brings a burst
of creative energy.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Minor details at every turn seem to
impede your progress at work
early in the week. Try nm to get
discouraged. By week's end,
everything clears up. Good news
or a visitor from afar brightens up
your weekend.
VIRGO (August 23
to
September 22) Social life isn't
quite what you'd like this week. In
fact, you end up disappointed in
the behavior of a close friend.
However, creative thinking is
favored and leads to a major business triumph by week's end.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Couples may not have
as much tJme together as they'd
like thts week.lt seems one person
is always on the way in as the
other ts on the way out. Take time
during the weekend to reconnect
and renew those romantic ties.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Early in the week,
you crave some ttme to yourself
but you won't be able to get it.
Interruptions are par for the
course. Later, a partner gives you a
fresh perspective on a business
concern. The weekend favors
group activities.
SAGITTARIUS (November
22 to December 21) You could
have some difficulty reaching
financial agreements th1s week.
ll's best to table these for now A
matter about a child causes some
concern toward midweek. Be sure
you clear this up. Get-togethers
with friends are favored this weekend.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) Early in the week, a
business delay is bad enough.
Don't let it cause you to slacken
your efforts. Just do what you can
under the circumstances and much
is accomplished by week's end.
Accent financ1al planning over the
weekend.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) You're hit with extra
expenditures this week, and it's
generally a poor time to reach
financial agreements. Signing contracts tsn 't favored, either.
Creativity and romance, though,
are happily highhghted.
PISCES (February I 9 to March
20) You receive some conflicting
information in business this week.
It won't be until the weekend that
you achieve a clear perception. It's
best to go with your gut instincts
rather than on someone's tffy
word.
HOME TIPS
BAGS-Two
PLASTIC
favorite uses of plastic supermarket bags are the following: (1.)
About 20 or so stuffed inside one
as a kneepad for yard work, and
(2.) about 1S stuffed inside one,
hung on a hanger by its handles
and placed under a garment to
retain its shape and prevent wrinkles. Lillian F., Cody, Wyo.
CAMPING GEAR-When
camping season draws to a close
and it's time to stow away all the
gear, I have discovered that
bundling all the tent pole pieces
together and shpping a crew sock
over each end keeps them tidy.
It also covers any pointed ends
so they are safe to store in the
-WATER
same bag as the tent. Dottie W.,
Parsippany, N.J.
PHONE MANNERS-Many
times when the telephone rings,
you try to get it but sometimes,
the person calling you hangs up
before you pick it up.
It is so frustrating to have this
happen. My idea is to ask the person calling to dial once again so
you do not spend the rest of the
day wondering who it could have
been. Viola C .. S. Euclid, Oh10
SQUEAK STOPPER-My
clothes dryer 1s over 30 years old.
It's the original dryer which came
with the house and was here when
we bought it three years ago. It
works fine. However, recently, it
began squealing when in operation.
My husband said it needed
new belts and he ordered them
from the manufacturer who, fortunately, still stocks them. In the
meantime. he used toothpaste to
lubricate the belts and it did the
trick t Silicone dido 't work since
it dries out quickly Hope this

TUNING IN
IN FOCUS: Edwin Newman
is a respected journalist who
began covering the news after his
three and a half years of Naval
service during World War II. He's
done everything from work with a
wire service to moderating presidential debates, to covering major
events including the assassinations of President John F.
Kennedy and the Rev. Martin
Luther King.
Newman is also a fierce protector of the English language,
which he feels is a powerful
medium for getting ideas across
when used correctly. "When you
hear someone insist that what you
say is more important than how
you say it," Newman notes, "I tell
that person that how you say it is,
indeed, important. Good language
skills make it poss1ble for others
to understand your message as
you intended.''
While most people around the
world have come to know Edwin
Newman as a dedicated, serious
reporter and commentator, he
does have a delightfully comic
streak which he has occasionally
revealed on "Saturday Night
Live," "Newhart," and "Not
Necessarily the News. "
Th1s season, Edwin Newman
agreed to host USA Network's
new "Weekly World News." As
he said, "Everything that will be
presented is a fact. However,
don't expect us to report on anything involving Whitewater or the
Royals of England. We leave that
to others. What we offer are those
news items that are too often
overlooked, but which people
will find interesting, I'm sure.''
Examples include a man who
began speaking German after
being bit by a truck; a cat who
grew into a lion; a day care center
run by the Hells Angels, etc., etc.
DIAL TONES: "ALF'' fans
who miss the furry little alien will
be happy to know he'll be back in
an ABC movie called "Project
ALF," airing February 3. The
flick features ALF pitted against a
crazed military officer (Martin
Sheen) who is out to eliminate
our extraterrestrial pal once and
for all. Also featured are Ray
Walston ("Picket Fences") and
George Clooney's cousin, Miguel
Ferrer.
On February 4, ABC airs
"Hijacked: FLi~ht 285," starring
Anthony Michael Hall, Ally
Sheedy, Perry King, and Susan
Batten ("One Life to Live").

As Dl Winds

When Colds And
Flu Will Whip
Into Your Neck
Of The Woods
(NAPS)-No need to
peer into your crystal ball
this cold season. Be prepared
when
Madam
Influenza casts her spell
across the nation. The
Contac® Coldtime Index
makes a science of prognostication. By using cold
and flu infonnation from
Surveillance Data Inc.,
the Index predicts the
future regarding where
and when cold and flu
viruses will peak this year
and how severe they' II be.
Call the "Coldline"
Throughout this year's
cold season, the Coldtime
Index infonnation will be
available exclusively on
the "Coldline," a toll-free
hotline that will be updated biweekly with information on where cold and
flu viruses are peaking in
more than 70 U.S. cities
and how severe this
year's symptoms are.
United States' residents
can call 1-800-626-5469
for timed-release details,
tips for staying healthy
and a coupon for Contac

Coldtime Index.
Cold Hard Facts
When you come down
with a cold, you feel sick
because the cells of the
throat and nose (where
the virus strikes first)
react quickly to the
"invaders" and try to fight
them. This reaction is
what causes the discomfort. While there is no
cure for a cold, there are
some effective ways to
relieve some of the most
bothersome symptoms:
• Drink plenty of fluids, especially warm
ones, which ease stuffiness better than cold beverages;
•Many over-the-counter medicines also treat
cold symptoms and bring
fast relief. Nearly twothirds of the primary care
physicians in a national
survey agreed that timedrelease medicines are the
best way for people to get
medicine when suffering
from a cold;
• Scientists have identified more than 200 different cold viruses, and
there are three different
flu virus families. Viruses, by the way, do not
respond to treatment with
antibiotics the way bacterial infections do.
An Ounce of
Prevention
There's no surefire
way to keep from getting
a cold; but. according to
experts, there are practical measures you can take
to reduce your chances:
• Wash your hands frequently with wann water
and disinfecting soap;
• High levels of stress
nearly
double
your
chances of catching a cold
because stress lowers
your resistance to viral
infection. Regular exercise and adequate rest can
help combat the effects of
stress.
So, until someone discovers a cure. call the
Coldline to find out who's
suffering the most and

Rent· To-Own
Products
Solution To
Staying Out Of
Debt
(NAPS)- More and
more, Americans are
carefully watching what
they spend in hopes of
staying out of debt.
I
One way to do this is
by taking advantage of
rent-to-own products and
services. Today, you can
rent just about anything
you can buy including
televisions, computers,
home appliances and furnishings and cellular
phones.
There arc about 7,500
stores nationwide tha~
offer a unique choice: To
rent with the opportunity
of owning the item later.
More than three million
Americans a year are
now enjoying the flexibility and convenience of
this relatively new consumer option. It may
make sense for you,
especially when unavailable cash or credit is•
keeping your family
from buying what it
needs.
Some of the perks of
rent-to-own products and
services include full service and repairs, no
obligation to buy, the
ability to return the item
at any time and no interest charges.
•
The I 980s may have
represented conspicuous
consumption. but the
1990s are about making
smart economic choices.
Studies have shown that
acquiring useful products
and services is very
important to people. That
is why convenient rentto-own businesses are so
popular with so many

"Every time an old person dies,

down.," Alex. Haley
One of Aoyd County's oldest
"libraries" burned down Sunday
when a man presumed to be Aoyd
County's last surviving World War I
veteran died at the age of 101.
William Johnson of Weeksbury
died at Pikeville Methodist Hospital following an extended illness.
Johnson was born near the place
be died on June 20, 1894 in a oneroom log cabin built by his father,
Dock Johnson. Their mother,
Lourena Johnson, cooked on the
open fireplace in the cabin for the
13 children the couple shared.
He spent his early years in the
community of Weeksbury. He left
only to go to Paintsville to get an
education as a teacher. After his
three years in Paintsville, he came
home with his teacher's certificate
in hand and taught in a one-room
schoolhouse for one year. He quit,
however, when the superintendent
wouldn't give him an assistant.
He tried working in the mines,
but that lasted one night. A slate fall
occurred his first night on the job
and he decided to look for other
work. By June 13, 1918, his hunt
was over. Johnson received his
draft notice.
He reported to Louisville just
two days before his 24th birthday
and was handed his overseas orders.

• County's Board of Education approved a deficit reduction plan
which will shave $3.1 million from
the district's 1996-97 budget and
will result in the loss of 102.8 jobs.
Superintendent John Balentine
presented his version of the deficit
reduction plan at a special board
meeting Monday. apologizing for
the proposed job losses, but holding firm that the deep cuts are necessary
"I've prayed a lot; I've cried a
lot; and I've tested myself a lot to
do what is right with this particular
issue," Balentine said. '"The bot• tom line is we have to reduce costs
to run this school system. I feel this
district has more people on the
payroll than it can afford.
..I've tned to be as fair and equitable as I can be," Balentine continued. "I wish I had another year
to study the issue, but I didn't.

The financial squeeze corning
for the Aoyd County Board of Education is already being felt m the
Floyd County Sheriff's Department, where the cuts are more immediate and will affect students,
also.
Sheriff Paul Hunt Thompson
announced Tuesday that a move by
the board last October to cut in
half the fees h1s office receives for
tax collections is resulung in a permanent reduction in services.
"It could be a total shutdown
except for the office and providing
bailtffs for the court system,"
Thompson said. "Basically the
shenff's department will be receiving approxtmately $200,000
for tax collection fees this year
based on a 94 percent collection
rate. That's down from $300,000
in the previOus year."

A Floyd County man who has
spent the last few years of his hfe
fighting for people who have little,
has taken another step in his own
fight.
Den Hunter, acttng as the
guardian of Christopher and Joshua
Porter, filed a $I million lawsuit
against General Motors on their behalf Monday morning.
Hunter's daughter, Connie
Porter, and her husband, Richard,
died in an accident on Branham's
Creek December 7.
According to the lawsuit filed in
Floyd Circuit Court, Richard Porter
was driving the 1991 Chevrolet
Cavalier south on the road at
Galveston. The car crossed an ice~
covered section of roadway, went
out of control and ended up on its
top in a small creek.
The Porters, along with their
children and their niece, were
trapped in the car. The two adults
tried "desperately to unbuckle the1r
respective seat belts to escape. Several persons, including the decedents' sons, Christopher and Joshua
Porter, valiantly assisted the decedents in their desperate efforts to
unbuckle themselves from the
death grip of said seat belts," the
suit states.
The two drowned in the accident.
The suit states that Hunter is
asking for the $1 million judgment
as well as costs, a trial by jury and
attorney fees for h1s lawyer, Eric C.
Conn. He contends that General
Motors knew that use of the seat
belts was not safe but still market·
ed the vehicle to the general public.

their jobs, but those at the meeting
seemed disappointed that no individuals were named.
Balentine said after the meeting
that those who would be affected
would be notified at "the legal and
appropriate time."
The superintendent added that
this was phase I of the plan to
reduce the projected $1 million
deficit for the coming year and that
implementing the plan would be
phase II.
"Nothing's happened yet,"
Balentine said. "No one has been
identified as having lost their job.
Some have suggested that it be
phased in in two or three years.
Why prolong the agony? Let's get
the bad things done quick. We didn't need to prolong it, let's take the
big bite now. We can always build
back."
Specifics of Balentine's plan are:
• Changes in the allocation formulas for staff for schools which
cuts the number of staff and contract days employees. The teacherto-student ratio is projected to be
one teacher per 24 students in primary grades; one teacher per 28 students in fourth grade; one teacher
per 29 students in grades five and
six; one teacher per 31 srudents in
grades seven and eight; and one
teacher per 25 students in middle
and high schools. Also, management staffing is reduc~d from five
to three and the media specialist
positions are eliminated. Title I and
special education classes are
exempt from the formula.
• Teacher aides will be staffed
one per 24 kindergarten students
and one aide for four primary teachers.
• Contract days. which are also
called extended employment, have
been cut to zero for certified staff at
the elementary level; 15 at middle
schools; and 30 days at high
schools.
• The number of teaching positions in the system will be cut by 48
and the number of days of extended
employment is reduced to 135 from
180. Those cuts are projected to
reduce costs by $2.4 million.
• Reducing the staff of the central office by 11 is expected to save
the system $436,158.88. A cut of
310 extended employment days is
projected to save $79.128.35.
• Reducing classified staff positions by 14 in the central office and
ehmmating 280 contract days is
expected to net $21,000. The reduction in positions are one each in
attendance, Title I and drug and
alcohol; three each in instruction,
food service and personnel; and two
in finance.
Sheriff
• System-wide reductions in classified personnel positions are two
and a half custodians; one custodian
trainer; two and a half maintenance
workers; and five central office secretaries. Also, 280 contract days are
eliminated and the total projected
savings are $222,000.
• Other cost savers include eliminating full-time substitute teachers
for a savings of $139,440; nonrenewal of leases for facilities for
instruction and special education
which costs $23,400; moving the
district's alternative school or abolishing the program and contracting
with another agency to provide services to save $177,080.
The plan also suggests the board,
citizens and staff be involved in a
two-year study to consider moving
the central office operations to
Maytown Elementary and selling
the current office building.

Don't let your tax refund get bogged

filers' refunds. That will only
delay the refund you've got
coming to you. Just remember, the sooner you
file your income tax return,
the sooner you get
your refund.

"There's violence going on at
ball games but I don't have the personnel to cover them," Thompson
said. "The best we can do is look at
high profile games and assign an
officer The problem there is that
you never know when there will be
a problem at a ball game. I apologize for not being able to cover ball
games, school zones, or continue
the D.A.R.E. program or the
Domestic Violence Unit as originally intended. The fact of the matter is
in order to have trained men out
there, I have to pay them and without money I can't pay them."
Thompson said his office is trying to secure a state loan by May 1
to continue the D.A.R.E. program,
but even if it is approved, the program will be cut. There are 16classes which are part of the 16-week
D.A.R.E. course, but officer Ricky
Thornsberry and the sheriff will
have to choose only three to offer to
students.
"The D.A.R.E program, for all
intents and purposes, is no longer
there," Thompson said. "If we can
get the loan by May 1, we'll attempt
to teach three classes at the schools
that were included this semester.
But, I can't guarantee that."
As for the Domestic Violence
Unit, the first in the state which has
speeded up service of EPOs.
Thompson said there are no grant
monies available for an officer
because it had been staffed fulltime. The state Justice Cabinet
turned down the grant request
because the unit was already
staffed.
"I can't get a grant for the
Domestic Violence Unit because
there are no federal monies available to replace local monies that are
spent," the sheriff said. "At least
that's the song and dance I got."
Four full-time deputies will be
employed to serve court papers and to
"answer as many complaints as possible," the sheriff said. One officer will
be assigned duties with the Mountain
Area Drug Task Force in order to
comply with grant requirements.
Thompson said he isn't looking
to the fiscal court for help.
"The fiscal court pays our retirement and insurance,'' the sheriff
explatned. "I can't say anything
about it. They have been reasonably
good to me and they have their own
problems."
He could have eased into the
cuts caused by the reduction of fees
if state officials had gotten the tax
bills out on time last year,
Thompson said, because the four
percent fee would have been in
effect.
The cutbacks could have been
avoided all together, Thompson
said.
"This could have all balanced
out if everybody had maintained the
status quo," the sheriff said. "This
wouldn't have happened if the
Justice Cabinet had given us the
grant, which I think they should
have, and if the school board continued to pay the four percent rate."
While campaigning for the
office, Thompson said he ran on
the platform that he would have less
personnel in the office and more
deputies on the road. By fulfilling
that promise, it ended up costing
him, personally.
"By doing that, it cost me
$23,000 in personal money,''
Thompson said,. "I have to back
down and reassess if the sheriff's
office's extra patrols are worth
going personally broke."
The cuts are expected to be permanent, Thompson said, unless the
school board votes to reinstate the
four percent collection fee.

getting ready," Johnson said during
the 1986 interview. "The day we
were supposed to go to Long Island,
New York, there was a case of
measles. They quarantined the
whole company for 21 days."
Johnson finally shipped out
from Montreal in late July.
"We came down the river that
evening and stopped at Quebec and
took on coal and when they took on
.coal, there was a German spy on the
boat," Johnson told the high school
students. "He flipped a note off and
an F.B.I. man got it instead of the
one who was supposed to have
caught it."
Three days later, the boat headed back to port but the men didn't
know why. Johnson later learned
the German spy was a cook. He was
cutting up fish when he was captured.
"They just reached down and
got him by the arm. (They) never
said nothing, took him down the
gang plank, put him on that motorboat, and the last time we seen him,
he was going toward land," Johnson
had related.
The troop was transferred to
the U.S.S. battleship Henderson the
next day and then started the 29-day
trip across the Atlantic. About five
mites from England the boat spotted
a submarine and opened fire. "(The
submarine) didn't come back after
that," Johnson remembered for the
mterview.
Johnson recalled being sick a
lot during the crossing and after
crossing the English Channel. And
he remembered the mud.
"Landed in France at a rest
camp," he told Burke and Johnson.
"The mud was absolutely six inches
deep."
After a three-day break, the
troop loaded into box cars and traveled to the Argonne Forest - and
got out of the cars in the middle of
the conflict.
He spent 12 months and 13
days in France, the whole time in
the Argonne Forest. He was paid
$33 a day for his time in duty and
made extra money cutting hair for a

people and that's why he shot it.
The mayor added that Burke said
the animal was darting in and out
of traffic which could have caused
an accident.
Tempers flared at the meeting
when resident Joe Simpson became
upset when the dead animal was
drug across his feet by Martin and
Potter. Martin and Simpson had a
heated exchange and Martin was
removed from the meeting.
In a written statement Friday,
Whicker said that charges could be
brought against the pig's owners
because the animal was not confined.
"Sergeant (Scott) Woodard
informed me no investigation was
warranted because the owner of the
animal is required to have it fenced
in or on a leash," Whicker said.
"Sergeant Woodard stated the
police officer could take action
against the owner for allowing the
pig to be loose and endangering the
lives of persons living in the city."
The mayor did not say if any
actiOn would be taken against the
owners.
18 cents a head.
He remembered seeing the
Eiffel Tower and shaking hands
with General Pershing. He came
back into the New York harbor on
July 4. When he finally boarded a
train home, he discovered his brother, Albert, who he had not seen for
16 months, was on the train.
For the next live or six months,
Johnson said he spent his time hunting. Finally he went back to the
mines and got a job weighing coal
for Elkhorn-Piney. Then he worked
for a mine at Lackey. After that, he
went to work for the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, which later became
the C & 0 and finally CSX.
He attributed his long life to
clean living. Johnson said he'd had
only one draw on a cigarette in his
life and hadn't had a taste of alcohol
since Christmas Eve in 1922.

that be was considering running for
the 97th House seat, which is held by
Democrjlt Hubert Collins of
Wittensville. Bailey is unopposed in

As of 3:55 p.m. Tuesday, only
five minutes before the filing deadline, the Secretary of State's office
reported no opposition in the 94th
and 95th House races, the 5th
Congressional race, and the 7th district judicial race, all of whom represent residents in Floyd County.
In the 94th House race, incumbent Herbert Deskins is unopposed.
He represents the outer edge of
Floyd County on the western, northern and a portion of the eastern sides.
In the 95th House race, House
•Majority Leader Greg Stumbo, a
._ Democrat, finally filed for the seat.
He had not filed until late last week.
He is also unopposed.
Hal RogeR> is unopposed i~
5th Congressional race and state
Democratic leaders weren't expected
to field a candidate against Rogers.
Stumbo said be would not support a
Democratic candidate in the race
saying it would be counterproductive to try to pry Rogers from seat he
has held for several years.
But other state Democrats,
including Grady Stumbo of
Hindman, are angered by that stand
saying this is the best time to challenge Rogers for the seat because of
the unrest in Washington over balancing the budget. Grady Stumbo is
a former state Democratic Party
Chair.
Also unopposed is incumbent
Janet Stumbo, who is running for the
7th District state Supreme Court
Justice seat.
In the U.S. Senate race, Senator
Mitch McConnell, a Republican is
facing at least one other Republican
in the priinary and three Democrats

of 1991 Chevrolet Caval1ers were
recalled by General Motors for seat
belt problems, but the Porters were
never notified that their vehicle
should be repaired.
Conn said he expects the suit to
take a year and a half to make its
way througq the legal system and
for it to end with a two- to three-day
trial. "I've filed suit against General
Motors before and this is what's
happening in that case,'' he said.
Hunter had wanted to file suit
against the state because it had not
repaired the road, but his attorney,
Eric Conn, said winning such a suit
might be difficult because there is
no jury in those cases, just a board
of claims to present the evidence to.
But Hunter said he would not
stop trying to get the road repaired.
He plans to take 5,000 signed petitions to Frankfort this week to present them to the state Department
of Transportation. "I want to get
that road fixed," he said.

Poetic justice
by Scott Perry
Given the letters, comments
and the like we've gotten lately,
we find it appropriate this week to
yield our space to Kim Slone, of
Bevinsville, who makes an interesting point in an interesting way.
Ms. Slone admits that the following poem, entitled "The Fan,"
was written by herself and about
herself, but we suspect it has
broader appeal. Read on ...
We yell and scream and stomp,
and let our tempers flare.
As at the opposition,
we send a threatening glare.
We tell our kids to fight,
and we seem to go insane.
We know we're always right.
and the other team's to blame.
We go to church on Sunday,
and sometimes even more.
Then forget it all on Monday,
when our team takes the floor.
We go before the Lord,
with reverence bow our heads.
But when a foul is ignored,
there's not much left unsaid.
The Fan
What happens to we humans
as we sit beside the court,
as we watch our children playing
this thing we call a "sport"?
The change is slow at first,
with a call we disagree.
And then we almost burst,
as we scream at the referee!
Oh, the Bible does not warn,
of the monster deep within.
When they blow that final horn,
and your team didn't win.
What happens to we humans?
We all should stand in shame,
when our actions show
our children,
it's more than just a game!

Some of the region's top Democratic
leaders are in a snit over their party's
failure to field a candidate to face
incumbent GOP Congressman Hal
Rogers and they're equally perturbed
by comments from their own party
ranks that suggest Rogers is a capable
representative for the district despite
his party affiliation.
A few have said that Congress is out
to make poor people pay for balancing
the federal budget and that Rogers and
his GOP cohorts ought to be held
accountable at the polls for their hardheartedness.
That's just the sort of nonsense that
reinforces the suspicions shared by
many that among some of our socalled leaders, party politics always
take precedence over propriety.
Hal Rogers has been an effective
representative for all of the people in
his district, and any insinuations to the
contrary are without any basis in reali-
ty.
We might also remind Rogers' critics
.that their party controlled this district's
seat in Congress for more than four
decades without making any significant
reductions in poverty levels, so why
should we accept their arguments now
that their way is the best way for us?
Hal Rogers gets our vote of confidence the old-fashioned way...
He's earned it.
We've got two computers, a fax
machine, a telephone modem connecting us to the information highway, and
a calculator with more buttons than an
Airforce fighter jet, but none of it is
worth a hoot when it comes to trying to
explain to our third-grade son why two
times two equals four.
See, it's not enough these days to
say that two times two equals four
because, well, it just does. You have to
know why.
Memorizing
the
multiplication
tables ... like we did in the old days ... is
unacceptable under education reform,
which requires our kids learn more than
Editor:
I have attended many different
ballgames this year and last year. I
have to say that some fans from
Allen Central are the rudest and that
the picture they display is disgust
ing.
Parents and fans need to realize
that they are only hurting the ball
players with their actions. A ticket
to a game does not give anyone the
right to verbally and physically
abuse the players, coaches and officials.
The players pick up some of
their values by what their parents
display. I'm sure some arc probably
embarassed by mom or dad at thes~
games.
I agree with Ed Taylor's article
in the Wednesday, January 24 edition. Officials are not there for the
fan sideshow. They arc there to officiate a respectable ballgamc and
call it to the best of their ability. The
money they get paid to officiate
these games is not worth the harassment from fans. A three-man crew
is definitely needed before all good
officials leave the game.
Fans need to keep their criticisms to a decent manner and in the
right place. Let's keep the game for
the kids to compete in and learn; not
for the fans to make spectacles of
themselves!

Kentucky
Senator
Mitch
McConnell refused to meet with me
and other citizen members of
Kentuckians
For
The
Commonwealth at his office last
fall. His aides said his feelings were
hurt when we distributed information to the pubHc about coal industry contributions to his campaign.
He has been completely inaccessible to us, the ordinary citizens he is
supposed to represent. This is inexcusable, especially in a year when
Congress seems bent on destroying
so many of the programs that directly affect our health, welfare and
environment.
Since KFfC feels that Mitch and
some members of his staff have
been very bad, we presented two
stockings full of coal to the
Senator's hometown office in
Louisville during the holidays.
I think that if Senator McConnell
continues to ignore the common
people who elected him to represent
them, perhaps we should send him a
one way ticket back to Louisville
and elect someone who will represent all the people and listen to all
the people.
Maybe it's time to ditch Mitch.

Bad calls by officials
should be questioned
Editor:
Regarding Mr. Ed Taylors' column in Wednesday, January 24th's
Floyd County Times:
For the most part I agree with
Mr. Taylor. Officiating is an often
thankless JOb, and not one I (or
many others) would choose to
accept.
Fans should not (and most do
not) make derogatory remarks
towards players, coaches or officials (or other fans for that mat- •
ter). But we have every right to
question officials when openly
biased or wrong calls are made
repeatedly.
Many of us have paid our
dues-and I don't mean just at the
door. Many parents have supported their children-literitlly-,-in
sports for four, five or even seven
or eight years by the time they are
in high school. And we do know a
little about the game and its rules.
Many parents are dealing with •
the daily pressures of job, home,
etc...go to the games hoping to see
the1r child play-only to see them
pushed, shoved, kicked and
knocked to the ground-and no
foul called; and you want them to
keep quiet?
No amount of practice can
compensate for bad or even biased
calls; as were witnessed in the
recent South Floyd vs. Betsy
Layn~ girls game. Some Betsy
Layne fans were refering to one
official on a first name basjs, and
actually telling him what calls to ~
make-and he did as they said.
Such continuous bad and/or
biased calls arc what lead to
"vocal fans" and even outbursts of
anger on the floor. And they can
even contribute to the loss of a
game.
I am admittedly one of the
worst when it comes to vocalizing
displeasure with repeated bad calls
by an official. But these "officials"
should be trained to be oblivious
to the crowds. And they should
never be allowed to referee where
they live, nor referee away games
..
for their "home team."
I do agree with Mr. Taylor that
some coaches are somewhat outrageous, many against their own

just the answers to problems. Today's
students are supposed to be learning
"real-world" solutions to problems by
rationalizing the hows and whys on
their way to determining the whats.
Of course the real world solution to
discovering what two times two equals
is usually reached by firing up the old
adding machine, especially by those of
us who can no longer count on the reliability of our memories.
But, you know, no matter how poor
our memories become or how inept we
are at explaining mathematical theory,.
two times two always equals four.
If you really need to know why, go ask
our calculator.
Speaking of inept, our eldest is now
into the study of geometry, where
mathematics suddenly becomes three
dimensional and complicated by
strange words like Pythagorean,
hypotenuse and pi, which do not, as
you might imagine, make up a Greek
law firm .
We are of no help whatsoever, considering that geometry requires considerable proficiency in math, as well as
some fluency in foreign languages and
hieroglyphics.
Besides, a math course that suggests
pie are squared shouldn't be taken too
seriously.
Everybody knows pie are round.
A bill that would have given all public
employees immunity in liability lawsuits
has been declared unconstitutional by
the state's attorney general.
The proposed legislation would have
exempted government employees from
civil litigation for any act or failure to act
that results in damage or injury to
another.
The AG ruled, though, that such "sovereign immunity" cannot be extended
to individuals.
Have to agree. Sovereign immunity
ought to apply only to our sovereign.
Which, by the way, we haven't had
since winning the Revolutionary War.

McDowell child care center closes

The halls of the McDowell
child care center are quiet.
Children's laughter doesn't
echo through the building. wh1ch
houses the child care center and a
senior citizens center, any longer.
The child care center has temporarily closed down.
"We only had three permanent
children and they couldn't keep it
open like that." Ellen Brown,
director of the senior citizens center housed at the Viola Bailey
Memorial Community Center.
said. "We need people to Jet us
know if they want this to reopen"
The community center contracted with the YMCA Family Center
in Pike County to staff the facility.
"I didn ' t want to close it, but we
were losing money every month,"
Orman Boggs, executive director
of the YMCA, said. "If we can get
ten to 12 full-time kids in there we
can open it back up."
He said the closure is temporary
if he can get the interest back up.
Boggs said he was to meet with
the senior citizen board Thursday
evening to get more people
involved. He said he'd like to open
the center m the next two weeks.
"1 have a director already lined
up if we can get the response," he
said. "But if I don't get a response,
it will come to a point where we 'II
have to just step away from it."
He said the closing put at least
one mother in a bind. '·But what
else could we do?" he asked.
The YMCA has been running

ty center since November 6.
"We went door-to-door and put
out lots of flyers. We ve gotten lots
of publicity." Boggs said. "It's now
up to the parents. That's a tremendous building for a daycare center
and it's a waste to see it sitting
there unused."
The YMCA charges $60 a week
or $12 a day for child care. "You
can't find a baby-sitter that cheap,"
Boggs said. Once a base of children is established, drop-ins will
be welcome, he added.
But the seniors who also use the
center miss the kids.
"They would bring them over
and we would rock the babies or
read to the older kids," Brown
said. "They were with us for our
Thanksgiving and Christmas parties."
And she remembers one toddler
fondly.
"He cried a lot until they
brought him over here. Then he
was fine. He didn't cry anymore,"
Brown said.
She said she hopes the center
opens back up soon.
"We're j ust sick over it, because
it had to close," Brown said. "The
parents said they hate tbat it
closed, but they understood."

pathetic. How or why would parents and principals Jet their girls
play for coaches like this? Is winning all that matters to them?
I must congratulate the coaches for South Floyd girls basketball teams. Coach Henry Webb
and Assistant Coach M s. Lori
Bolen have (almost always) been
perfect examples of how good
coaches should behave on and off
the court. Maintaining their composure even in impossible situations. It does not go unnoticed.
The real question given the
increasing hostility between fans,
the increased aggressiveness on
the courts between players, along
with the antics of some coaches
and incompetence of some officials, is not how long before they
(the officials) hang up their whistles-but how long before the
kids lose interest in the game?

cer, but the information didn't
come from official sources.
"I haven't seen anything on it
yet," Mullins said. "If we get the
money, we'll hire another police
officer."
The funding announcement
came from the Department of
Justice and is part of $5 10.000 to
be distributed statewide. Wayland
will receive $39,255.
Each jurisdiction was awarded
funds for one additional officer
through the Universal Hiring
Program.
The program grants provide
the maximum federal contribution for hiring officers that might
not otherwise be hired, according
to a press release from Senator
Wendell Ford's office.
The grant provides 75 percent
of the officer's salary and benefits over a three-year period.
Only one officer now patrols
the city of Wayland. "We've only
got one and be only works 40
hours a week," Mullins said. "We
hope to hire another and upgrade
the department."
Mullins said even though he
had not yet heard from official
sources that the city is to receive
the money, he is pleased with the
news. "I'm very pleased," he
said. "We knew it was looking
very favorable, but we dido 't
know we had gotten it."
Mullins said the city had to
apply for the grant and that he
wants to hire another officer
within the next month or so.
"But we want someone who
has already completed the training program if poss1ble," he said.
He said he didn't think the city ·
would have a problem matching
the other 25 percent to fund the
position.
"We are hurting for revenue,
but I think we can match that
money," he said.
Other areas receiving fu nds
include: Butler County, Cold
Spring Police Department, city of
Greenup Pollee Department,
Horse Cave Police Department,
c1ty of Indian Hills/Cherokee
Park,
city
of

The Floyd County Times
ack May's War
CHAPTER FIVE:
THE STANDOFF AT LOUISA,
PARTV
(The following article is an
excerpt from Dr. Robert Pern•s
book Jack May's Wars)
·
1!1 For Humphrey Marshall the
Louisa standoff was an inglorious
episode that damaged his reputation
and led ultimately to his resignation. Ironically, however, the decision not to assault the fort was made
not by Marshall, but by his officers.
One of the witnesses of this affair
was George Dallas Mosgrove, a private in Giltner's 4th Kentucky
Cavalry. Thirty years later
Mosgrove published an account of
the episode in his memoir,
._Kentucky Cavaliers in Dixie
(Louisville, I 895). Mosgrove
recalled that during their march to
Louisa, Marshall's officers had
been "spoiling for a fight'' and
..clamoring to be led to fields of
gore." When they reached the fort,
however, they had second thoughts:
"The place was strongly fortified
on the side of our approach... In
order to carry it by storm, it would
(have been] necessary to charge up
the side of a high bill, where trees
!lad been felled, and in the face of
~e enemy's cannon and concealed
musketry. The place was not worth
taking, and it was plain that its capture would [have] necessitated the
slaughter of many of our boys."
"Calling a council of war,
(Marshall] said. "Gentlemen, there
\s the enemy; if you want to go up
there, I will lead you." Recognizing
the foolhardiness of assaulting such
a fortress, they wisely decided that
discretion is the better part of valor
'and declined to sacrifice them•selves."
During the evening of March
26th, while they were still camped
near Louisa, Marshall's men were
reinforced by Colonel Jack May's
1Oth Kentucky Cavalry. "Cold as
dreary
winter,"
complained
Guerrant. "Soldiers had to walk
through the mud to warm their
feet." At dawn on March 28th the
brigade moved to Paintsville, "a little muddy town on Paint Creek,"
where Guerrant obtained breakfast
at the home of "Mrs. Smith." From
Uiere they moved up Mudlick Creek
• to Benjamin Salyer's roadside inn
at Flat Gap, where they camped for
the night.
On the following day the men
continued their march up Middle
Creek. When they reached its
source, they crossed over the ridge
and wended their way down into
the valley of the Paint, where
Marshall found two roads leading
to West Liberty. "Cold, disagree-
able day," wrote Guerrant. "Such
roads, such people. and such a
country have only one beauty:
going towards home." That night
Guerrant found lodging at the home
of Judge Day, located two and a
half miles from West Liberty on the
Licking River. By tbis time the men
were living on one-half pound of
salted meat per day. "This country
is destitute of everything that can
sustain life," Guerrant complained.
When the command reached West
Liberty, they spent the entire day
crossing the swollen waters of the
Licking River. Some crossed in
boats, and others crossed by swimming over on their horses. "Severe
on the horses. One of the horses
went over the dam. No man
drowned."
At West Liberty Marshall divided his command, sending May's,
Clay's and Johnson's men towards
Owingsville while he took Giltner's
and Jessee's men to Hazel Green.
Since he was a native of Bath
County, Guerrant went with the former group. "Everything wears a
better aspect," he wrote that night in
his diary, "as we journey towards
our long-left homes and the presence and smiles of those we love."
When Guerrant's half of the
brigade reached the Bath County
line, they ran into Colonel Cluke
and his men, who were retreating
from Owingsville. While Cluke's
men filed past them, Guerrant and
his fellow officers spent a few
moments with Cluke, who regaled
them with the story of his capture of
Mount Sterling on March 21st.
Cluke bragged that he had taken
three hundred prisoners and burned
down "the Montgomery Hotel
Square." Although Cloke's men
were in a good mood, mounted on
fresh horses and clad 1n uniforms
they had taken from a Union warehouse, the fact remained that they
had been driven out of Owingsville
by a much larger Union force.
"How my heart sickened," wrote
Guerrant that evening, ''at the
thought of not getting home."
Later that same day, when
Marshall gave the older to retreat to
Hazel Green, his men obeyed him,
but they did so with the greatest
reluctance. No bursting corncribs
lay in that direction, no barns full of
oats and hay. "With melancholy
steps and slow," wrote Guerrant,
"as Adam and Eve on leaving Eden,
we turned our horses-so worn and
weary-once again towards disappointment and starvation." The
march was a cold and miserable
one. Half way through it, the temperature dropped. the wind came
up, and it began snowing. After five
hours braving piercing wmds and
swirling snow, the men reached
Hazel Green at night tn the
evening and camped four miles
west of the town on the road to
Campton.
On the following day, a warm
and sunny one, Guerrant rode over

Maple sugaring
Everyone loves the taste of a
large stack of pancakes smothered
in thick maple syrup. But not everyone knows that there may be a
syrup factory in your own backyard
here in Floyd County. In fact, you
may be able to "tap" this resource
with relative ease.
Maple sugaring may seem a
strange idea in Kentucky forest
management. In some areas of the
South. especially in the mountains
of
Eastern
Kenrucky
and
Tennessee. ecological and climactiC
conditions do exist for maple syrup
production. While all maples produce a sweet sap that is capable of
bemg made mto syrup, only the
sugar and black maples are generally tapped. At least 75 percent of all

commercial syrup comes from . .
sugar maples because they are the
species with the highest sugar content in their sap. If you have mature
sugar maples on your land, then
maple sugaring could be a viable
source of some sweet enjoyment.
The characteristics of a good
sugaring tree are different from
those of timber quality. In a sugar
bush (a stand of maples managed
for syrup production), the maples
should be well spaced so they will
develop large crowns and increased
diameter without putting on much
height. Trees with crowns greater
than 30 feet wide can produce as
much as I 00 percent more sap that
is 30 percent sweeter than those
with narrow crowns. But this does
not mean unmanaged maples will
not produce the desired result for a
small operation. Before trying to
thin trees for syrup production, contact a professional forester who can
make sure you leave the proper
trees for optimum sap production.
Sap is removed from the trees
through "spiles,'' which are specialized metal tubes inserted into the
tree. A tap hole is drilled about three
inches into the tree with a drill at a
slightly upward angle. After
drilling, the spile can be tapped
gently into the hole. An inexpensive
alternative to spites is to use pieces
of 7/16-inch plastic tubing. Trees
under ten inches in diameter should
not be tapped, but large trees (25
inches diameter or greater) can support as many as four taps. The sap is
collected in buckets, plastic bags or
plastic milk jugs. These should be
clean and kept covered to keep out
dirt and other debris.
Sap will generally begin flowing
in the spring when the daytime temperatures approach 45 to 55 degrees
and nights remain around 20 to 35
degrees. This generally occurs in
February or March, but you should
have your equipment ready after the
f1rst of the year.
If you have processed sorghum,
you will find "sugaring off' to be
very similar. The tdeal location for
evaporator pans is in a well ventilated enclosure. Do not try the
process in your kitchen. The great
amounts of moisture given off in
the evaporation process may damage your furnishings.
Small-scale processmg may be
accomplished easily over an open
fl.re outdoors.
The evaporation pan should sit
over a firebox which is the source
of heat for evaporation. When you
start boiling sap, keep adding more
sap to the pan as the water boils
away. Maintain ar least one inch in
the pan of your syrup to one quart
syrup. You can use a hydrometer
marked in degrees Brix and boil
until Brix reaches 55 to 60 or you
can use the more traditional method
-"tastes good to me."
EqUipment must be thoroughly
cleaned between batches to prevent
sediment from ruining the next
batch. The syrup should be stored in
a cool place. A freezer is ideal
because properly prepared syrup
will not freeze, and if the syrup is
sealed properly, it is Jess likely to
spoil.
Maple syrup is a very popular
and valuable forest product that
nearly everyone can e njoy. For
some simple enjoyment, maple sugaring can't be beat. It is also inex-

boys' bracket should produce some
exciting games with any of the
eight participating teams capable of
winning it all.
Adams is the three-time defending champion, but this year there is
no clear-cut favorite.
Section 2 will have three teams

At Belfry, 50-47 :
Basketball weary Bobcats fall
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Rubber knees.
That's what the Betsy Layne
Bobcats displayed at Belfry last
Friday night in a road game whtch
• Betsy Layne missed conststently
underneath the basket in falling 5047 to the Pirates.
The loss dropped coach Junior
Newsome's ballclub to 10-6 on the
season and snapped a three-game
winning streak.
The Bobcats had become basketball weary, playing three games in
four days. Newsome said his ballclub was ''JUSt tired."
"We dtdn't have our legs after
playing three games like we
ylayed," he said. "We couldn't get
lllbff the floor. Jonathan (Newman)
missed five wide open layups. We
were just tired."
There may have been an emotional let down as well for the
Bobcats after posting a big conference win over Allen Central the
night before. But for Betsy Layne,
the easy shots JUSt would not fall as
they had been earlier
Rocky Newsome Jed the
Bobcats' scoring with 18 points, but
played a good strong floor game.
He finished with nine assists in the
game. Jason Tackett tossed in 12
points and Willie Meade added ten.
Barry Crum and Jason Worley
Jed the Pirates with 12 points each.
Les Todd added ten.
Betsy Layne rallied back from a
five-point deficit, 44-39, to tie the
game at 44-all on a three-point basket by Newsome with 1: 10 to play.
Belfry got a three-point play from
Crum and free throw by Smith to
take a 48-44 advantage with just 18
ucks left on the clock. Newsome,
off balance, drilled a three-pointer
for a one-point game with 11 seconds remaining. Worley made it a
three-point game by dropping in
two free throws with nine seconds
showing.

ncr, the ball missed and Newsome
grabbed the rebound and tried to
score but the ball rolled off the rim
as the hom sounded.
The Betsy Layne players were
bending over and holding their
trunks, a sign of fatigue in the
fourth period.
Betsy Layne's last lead came in
the fourth period of the low-scoring
affair. The Bobcats owned a 39-37
lead on a short jumper by Meade.
But Newman missed two easy baskets underneath and several
turnovers hurt the Bobcats.
Betsy Layne was 13-12 at the
first stop. The game was tied three
times in the first period. Meade's
three-point play gave Betsy Layne
an 11-10 lead and they led 13-10 on
a basket by Tackett. Crum hit a
short jumper to make it a one-point
game.
Both teams resembled anything
but a basketball squad in the second
period as they both struggled big
time. Betsy Layne only scored four
points in the penod - a short
jumper by Craig Johnson and
Newman's layup. The Pirates

Allen C e n t r a l - - - - - - - - - - - - - "00" on his jersey. He was absolutely awesome from the three-point
• circle in the first half. He had five
treys in the first half, four coming in
the second quarter and from the
NBA range. Tackett had only six
points in the second half.
"Coach told me I needed to start
shooting more,'' Tackett said. "So I
did.''
Allen Central trailed the
Bobcats, 82-71. with less than three
minutes to play in the game. The
Bobcats began being careless with
the basketball and seemed to be tir~ng late. Jenkins just took over and
his quickness to the basket and
excellent leaping ability was too
much for the Bobcats. The Rebels
went on a 10-2 run that cut the lead
to three, 84-81, with 51 seconds left
to play. Two turnovers and two
missed bonus shots from the charity
stripe caused problems for the
Bobcats.
After Jenkins connected on two
free throws to narrow the margin to
three points, Betsy Layne called for
a time out. With 49 seconds to play,
Newsome hit the first of two for an
t 85-81 game. Jason Baker, who fintshed with six points, hit a base line
jumper with 40 seconds to play to
cut the lead down to just two points,
85-83.
Willie Meade started a string of
six consecutive free throws for the
Bobcats with 33 seconds to play as
Betsy Layne led 87-83. The Rebels
were guilty of a crucial play when a
weak inbounds pass was picked off
by Newsome and he went to the
free throw line with 30 seconds
showing on the clock. Newsome
drilled both charity tosses for an 8983 game.
Baker grabbed an offensive

scored to cut the margin to four, 8985. Newsome hit two more free
throws with seven seconds left for a
91-85 game. Jenkins buried a threepointer as the hom sounded the end
of the game.
While Jenkins was outstandmg,
Newsome did an excellent job of
directing the Bobcats' floor game,
finishing wtth nine assists and six
rebounds in the game.
Tackett finished with five treys
in the game and had (unofficially)
~ seven rebounds and three assists for
Betsy Layne. Willie Meade played
a strong floor game and dished off
four assists and five rebounds.
Newman, who has a soft touch
around the basket, used his height
advantage well and had seven block
shots and eight rebounds.
Betsy Layne had trouble containing Jenkins all night as he
slashed the middle to the basket for
easy baskets and had several
reverse layups. He scored eight
points in the first half and followed
a missed shot with a two-hand dunk
in the opening quarter that brought
the Allen Central fans to their feet.
• Betsy Layne led 22-19 after the first
quarter.
With 5:13 to play in the second
quarter, Jenkins sank two free
throws to keep Allen Central close
at 29-18. But Tackett went into his
Tony Delk 1mpression and buried
two straight NBA three-pointers for
a 35-28 game.
The Rebels cut the lead back to
three, 35-32, but a free throw and
trey by Meade followed by
Tackett's fifth long bomb helped
open up a 48-36 halftime lead for
Betsy Layne.

boys All A Classic at Pikeville last
• Thursday night as they dropped a
63-61 loss to the Cougars.
It was South Floyd's game to
win and they had their chances. The
Raiders held a 61-60 lead on consecutive baskets by Michael
Stephens. Terrence Mullins went to
the free throw line with less than a
minute to play and missed two free
throws that could have extended
their lead. But after Chad Ahn tied
the game with a free throw at 61,
the Raiders still had possession and
the last shot at the basket. But that
last shot did not come into being.
• The Raiders were running the
clock, making sure they did have
the only shot. While running their
outside weave, Stephens was ca11ed
for a walking violation, turning the
ball over to Elkhorn City with 3.9
seconds lefl on the clock. Elkhorn
City called a time out.
The Cougars had to come threequarters length of the court. With
the ball coming into B.J. Ratliff, he

The Floyd County Time...
Webb looks like prophet as
South Floyd sets back Millard
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
South Floyd girls' coach Henry
Webb predtcted that hts team
would pull off an upset in the 15th
Region and his team made the
coach look like a prophet .
The Lady Raiders came out on
top for only the second time this
season with a 53-44 win over a
very strong Millard team to
improve to 2-12 on the season.
But for the Lady Raiders, the 212 mark doesn't mean they
haven't been playing good basketball of late. Just the opposite.
They have.
It began on the road at Allen
Central when Coach Webb's ballclub gave the Lady Rebels a scare
before falling. They traveled to
Millard and lost by three to the
Lady Mustangs.
At Betsy Layne the Lady Cats
had to fight for their hves to defeat
South Floyd. At home against
Betsy Layne they fell by one point
in a game they had three shots at
winntng.
Then came the Lady Patriots of
Knott County Central. A team that
had beaten South Floyd by 23
points, they left Raider Arena with
a hard-fought five-point victory.
Senior Tiffany Compton led the
Lady Raiders with 21 points.
Chrissy Tackett added 12 and
Melissa Tackett scored nine
points.
Brittany Bartley was the lone
~ouble-figure scorer for Millard
with 15 points. Whittany Bartley
added eight and Andrea Little
scored seven.
"We were real aggressive on
offense and defense," the South
Floyd coach said. "We led the
whole game and we played really
well ."
South Floyd built a lead b) as
much as 16 points, but never dtd
relinquish the lead.
It was a 12-l 0 game after the
first quarter with the Lady Raiders
m front. Compton tossed in seven
points in the quarter and Chrissy
Tackett drilled a three-pointer. The
Bartley twins supplied all the
points for Millard with Brittany
Bartley scoring six points.
The Lady Raiders' defense held
Millard to just three field goals in
the second quarter in taking a 25-
16 halfttme lead.
South Floyd extended the ninepoint defictt to 16 points tn the
third period and held a 37-25 lead
after three quarters.

NASCAR MOVES:
GOOD OR BAD?
Good or bad?
Two recent developments on the
NASCAR scene have many asking
themselves that question. What
1 development am I speaking of?
First, NASCAR's venture into
introducing NASCAR-style racing
to Japan.
Second. the recent actions of one
0. Bruton Smith, who continues to
buy up some of the series' hottest circuits like they are going out of style.
Let's first explore NASCAR's
voyage into The Land of the Rising
Sun. At the NASCAR Awards
Banquet held in December, BiJJ
France, president of NASCAR,
announced that NASCAR would run
a series of three exhibition races to
• be held at the Suzuka Circuit over a
period of the next three years. The
first is slated for November.
For many NASCAR fans, these
words were not welcome. Let's take
a look at both sides of the story. Fans
have several valid points as to why
this should not take place. First of all,
there is the feeling that NASCAR
should flfSt bring Winston Cup racing to areas of the United States that
have not had the chance to witness
fli'St hand, the thrills and spills of
stock car racing.
Now for the other side. The races
at the Suzuka Circuit are nothing
more than an exhibition. NASCAR
has no intention of scheduling a race
in Japan. The bottom line is that the
Japanese are interested in the what's,
why's, and how's of the sport. They
have heard of the booming popularity of the sport in our country, and
they want to see what all the fuss is
about. Japan motorsports has been
restrtcted to Formula One and
motorcycle racing, never stock cars.
NASCAR columnist, Steve Wald
summed it up best in a recent issue of
Winston Cup Scene when he wrote,
"While we don't expect NASCAR's
presence in Japan to be fully accepted by fans, it must be understood
that it is being done not to reject
them, but to promote NASCAR and
American stock car racing at a different level."
Now for the other issue. One of
the most popular board games in history is Monopoly. I am quite sure
that you have played it. Didn't you
just love to buy Boardwalk and Park
Place, the railroads, maybe a North
Carolina Avenue or State Street?
There seems to be a real-life
Monopoly game taking place in our
beloved sport of racing. On January
22, 0. Bruton Smith purchased
Bristol International Raceway. With
that purchase, Smith now has mterest
in six racing venues. He owns I00
percent
of Charlotte
Motor
Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway,
and now Bristol International
Raceway.
He is currently building Texas
Motor Speedway. Throw in his partownership of North Wilkesboro and
Rockingham and you'll understand
why I referred to him as a ''track
tycoon'' in last week's column.
It is no secret that one of his

Dayton, Tennessee, was bustling in July of 1925.
The town of eleven churches and 1,500 residents had
a festive air as hundreds of individuals with an interest in the trial were in town.
There was no shonage of news correspondents as
papers around the country were running daily
accounts of the John T. Scopes, or Monkey Trial as it
was often called. National writer M. L. Mencken pictured Dayton as a pretty and charming town but he
said it would be impossible for Scopes to get a fair
trial because he couldn't get an impartial jury. He said
that Scopes would be "ordered to the hulks."
Mencken called Bryan an "old buzzard and buffoon" in his writings saying that he "had the morons
and hillbillies locked up in his pen." Mencken contin·
ued his writings for a week characterizing the local
residents as know-nothings before some local residents called on him and told the writer that the local
climate wasn't healthy for him. They suggested that
he leave voluntarily within two hours. That impressed
Mencken so much that within an hour he took a taxi
to Chattanooga and boarded a train for Baltimore.
Meanwhile in the Rhea County Courthouse Judge
John T. Raulston often obliged visitors to the trial by
posing for pictures during the trial of John T. Scopes.
Many of these pictures showed him with Btble in
hand.
Clarence Darrow won the respect of many of the
attendees of the trial. Generally be was very courteous. Even Attorney General Stewart said, "His courtesy is noticeable-his ability is known-it is a
shame that a man of his ability hasn't aligned himself
with Christianity."
The trial for the defense wasn't going well however and when Judge Raulston wouldn't allow the scientific experts to testify. Darrow unleashed his wrath
toward the bench.
"I do not understand why every request of the
State and every suggestion of the prosecution should
meet with an endless waste of time, and a bare suggestion of anything that is perfectly competent on our
part should be immediately ovenuled," Darrow
uttered.
"I hope you do not mean to reflect upon the
Coun," Judge Raulston replied.
"Well, your Honor has the right to hope," Darrow
answered.
Raulston cited Darrow with contempt and placed
his bail at $5,000.
"After lunch, Darrow apologized so eloquently to
Raulston that the crowd applauded him," Paola
Coletta wrote in his book titled William Jennings
Bryan. "Judge Raulston gave him a sermoneue on
how Christ had taught that it was godly to forgive,
forgave him, stepped down, and shook hands with
him.''
Again the crowded courtroom reacted with
applause and shouting.
Judge Raulston had been troubled in recent days
with the overflow crowd in the courtroom and the
hundreds of others who pressed outside the doors and
in the hallways. He worried that the building might
give way and when they became more demonstrative
he ordered that the trial be moved to the courthouse
grounds.
After they moved outside, the jury sat near the
counhouse wall where a sign reminded ''Read Your
Bible."
Darrow's objection to the placement of the sign
caused another spontaneous exchange between the
attorneys.
"l have never seen the time in the history of this
country when any man should be afraid to be reminded of the fact that he should read his Bible," state's
attorney McKenzie said. ''If they should represent a
force that is aligned with the devil and his satellites..."
Malone JUmped to his feet and objected but
McKenzie continued. "Finally I say when that time
comes it is time for us to tear up all of the Bibles,
throw them in the fire, and let the country go to hell."
"This coun will not tolerate such an outburst,"
Judge Raulston followed. "Mr. McKenzie's oration
will be stricken from the record and the sign will be
removed."
Defense attorney Malone reacted to McKenzie by
saying. "I have a right to assume I have as much
chance of heaven as they have, to reach it by my own
goal, and my understandtng of the Bible and of
Christianity."
"People, this is no circus," the coun officer said
while gaveling for order. "There are no monkeys up
here. It is a lawsuit; let us have order."
Clarence Darrow questioned Dr. Metcalf of
Oberlin College about evolution and the process of it
as taught He then surprised everyone in the coun by
calling William Jenntngs Bryan as a witness.

Health Matters
STAYING MOTIVATED
DURING THE WINTER
When the temperature drops, so
does most people's activity level.
Ask anyone in the fitness industry-from Thanksgiving to January
lst is the slowest time of the year.
But it doesn't have to be this way;
you can stay motivated to continue
your exercise regimen despite the
cold dark days of winter.
If it's the cold that gets you
down, try moving your exercise
program inside. Instead of walking,
biking or running outdoors use a
stationary bicycle or treadmill.
Health clubs and wellness centers
offer these options as well as a variety of other choices for cardiovascular workouts. Typical equipment
includes treadmJlls and bikes as
above, plus cross country skiing
machines, rowing machines, and
stair climbers, as well as aerobics
classes. Of course you may elso buy
home exercise equipment or aerobic video tapes. Expect to pay $300
for a good quality exercise btcycle
and $500 for a treadmill. Simply
trying a new activity may be all it
takes to give you a motivational
boost.
If you do choose to continue
your outdoor exercise routine,
wearing the right clothes helps
tremendously. Dress in layers and
always wear a hat and gloves or
mittens. Check out sporting goods
stores for specialty items such as
Gor-Tex running suits. Gor-Tex is a
waterproof material used in clothes
designed for foul weather exercise.
It is not inexpensive, but if you
spend much time in the rain or
snow, you may find it well worth
the investment.
Do not let the cold weather give
you the exercise blues. Try a new
exercise or join a wellness center.
You could even exercise outside if
you dress properly. A change in atti-

Senior citizens, many of you
have something lying around that
you don't need. You have no use for
them. Yet, when you determined
that they had fulfilled their usefulness you didn't have the heart to
part with them. Good!
•
Instead, you tossed them in a
drawer. Or was it in a cabinet?
Maybe you put them in the medicine chest. Or in the bottom of your
knitting basket. I bet Ralph put hls
in his tackle box. Or was it in the
glove companment? Maybe he put
them up on a shelf m the shed. You
probably thought, as Ralph did, "I
had better hang on to these. Some
day they might come in handy."
You know what, Myrtle? You and
Ralph were both right.
The problem is, if you're like
me, you can't quite remember
•where you put them. Now don't
worry That's not a sign of agmg
and you need not fear that you are
getting Alzheimers. Nothing 1s
wrong witll you. Or Ralph. Or me
for that matter Not knowing where
they are s1mply makes a statement
about our lifestyles. We are a con·
servative lot. We've lived through
our share of tight times. We remember what they cost. We remember
how hard we had to work and
scnmp to get them. And we know,
should we have to replace them, we
JUSt might not have the money at
the time of need to buy new ones.
aSo, Myrtle, you're wondering now,
as am I. "Where did I put those old,
broken glasses?"
As you are contemplating their
whereabouts, your mind is telling
you that you think you may have
two pairs around somewhere. And
Ralph, "Where did he put his?" you
wonder. You ask yourself, "Did he
trash them?'' Your mmd answers,
"No. No. Not Ralph. He hasn't
thrown out anything say in fifty
years. He stuck them somewhere
when he got his new ones."
You're thinking, "Maybe I'd
•better ask Ralph. Maybe he can tell
me where he put his and he might
k.now what I did with mine."
"Ralph."
"Yeah, Myrtle?" Ralph sleepily
responds.
"Ralph. Do you know what 1 did
with my old glasses? You know,
those broken ones?"
"Yeah. Myrtle. But why do you
want those things?" Ralph asks.
"I don't know yet." Myrtle
responds. ''I'm reading Sunshine

this anicle hasn't told me yet. I'm
just wondering where they are."
"Myrtle, you put them in that
box in the cubbyhole behind the
bathroom door. You know, that box
you have those old teeth in."
"Oh yeah, Ralph, that's right!''
"Ralph, where did you put that
old pair of yours-you know, that
gaudy brown pair the dog chewed
up some time back?
"I don't know, Myrtle. That's
been a long time ago. How would I
remember what I did with them?"
"Well," Myrtle responds, "It
seems from this art1cle that there
are organizations that collect used
glasses, in any condition, even broken ones. These places salvage
parts and pieces from old, broken
frames to make serviceable frames
and reparrs. They even re-grind the
old lenses to make prescription
lenses for poor people and for people like you and me on limited
incomes. Glasses are so expensive
these days. I wish we had known
about this when we got ours."
"That's the way it is Myrt,"
Ralph responded disgustingly. "We
always Jearn about these things
when it's too late. When you find
mine maybe somebody w1ll get
some use out of 'em."
"All right, Ralph, Go back to
sleep. I'll look for yours. Try to
remember where you put them. I
just found mine-right where you
said they were. Humm, I did have
two pairs stored in that old box. I
had almost forgotten about the one
pair. 'Ibis pair must have been 10
there for ten-maybe 15 years or
more."
"Ralph, have you remembered
yet? Where did you put your old
glasses?"
"I don't know, Myrtle. I just
don't recall where I put them.
You'll find them. You'll run across
them where you least expect to find
them. Let me snooze for a few minutes now."
"That's Ralph!" "He can't
remember a thing."
This dialog between Myrtle and
Ralph is not unlike conversations
we 'II have with our spouses when
we try to find the old glasses we
have stowed away. Most all of us
who are 39 and holding, will recall
that we have two or three old pairs
lymg around-somewhere. Now
that we know we can recyle them to
help others, we are glad that we
saved them. Finding them is the
problem now.
You will find them and so will
I. Probably, like Ralph said,
"We'll run across them where we
least expect to find them." When
thiS happens, donate them so that
others Jess fortunate might see.
Our old glasses, regardless of their
condition, are just like you and
me-and yes, Ralph too. They
haven't fulfilled their usefulness
yet We just thought they had.
To recycle your glasses, no
matter what condition they are tn,
drop them off at your nearest

Almost tmmedtately all ·of the
prosecution lawyers were on their
feet objecting to the request.
"Your Honor, Mr. Bryan is an
expert on the meaning of the word
religion," Darrow explained. "The
state statute is based on a conflict
between evolutiOn and religion. We
are entitled to prove the meaning of
the words so that the jury can detcrmtne whether there was any conflict."
"Mr. Darrow, this is highly irregular" Judge Raulston stated before
W11liam Jennings Bryan arose from
• h1s seat.
"Your Honor, I am willing to
take the stand on one condit1on,"
Bryan sa1d. "I am ready to defend
reltg10n anywhere against any 1nfi-
del. The condition 1s that we also be
able to question Mr. Darrow."
Darrow agreed to Bryan's offer.

and industry loan guarantee program helps us carry out that mission
by prov1ding capital and creating
jobs in rural areas."
The Clinton Administration has
placed a major emphasis on programs which support economic
development and create new jobs in
rural America. Therefore, spec1al
constderation and priorities are
being given to assure that this program is implemented successfully
and that stated objectives and goals
are attained.
The business and industry loan
guarantee program can provide capital for a wide range of businesses
that exceed the $500,000 Small
Business Administration credit
limit. Guarantees can be made on
loans as large as $10 million.
However. hotels, tourism, and
recreation projects or farm operations that are handled by the Farm
Serv1ce Administration are not eligible under present procedures.
Agriculture-related induslries indirectly involved in farming may be
elig1ble for the program.
RECD. through its Rural
Business-Cooperative
Service
agency, is in the process of streamlining its regulations to make it
more user friendly. The goal is to
reduce paper work and should
enable the agency the ability to
grant preferred lender status to frequent lenders, therefore granting
them direct Joan approval authority.

New Help For
A Common
Women's
Problem
(NAPS)-Over eight
mlllion women in the U.S.
suffer from bladder control problems. About half
of those women don't
seek treatment because
they mistakenly believe
nothing can be done.
Fortunately, new. effective and often very simple
treatments can help
They include:
•changing medications
•taking medicalion
•performing exerctses
to strengthen muscles or
•undergoing new procedures that allow your
doctor to repair the problem on an outpatient basis
or with just a brief hospital stay.
Percutaneous bladder
neck stabiliztion (PBNS),
or the Vesica® procedure.
is a new method used to
treat stress tncontmence,
one of the most common
types of female urinary
incontinence. The procedure requires only one
small incision tn the
abdomen below the bikini
line; the surgeon restores
the bladder neck and urethra to its ideal posttion.
Smce this new treatment is less tnvasive than
other forms of surgery,
patients tend to heal more
quicldy.
Normally. the bladder
and urethra arc well sup·
ported by strong muscles
in the pelvic lloor, whtch
keep the urethra t1ghtly
closed.
Stress
incontinence
occurs when the support
of the muscles is weakened. As a result. urine
leaks out when you laugh,
cough or experience phy~
ical strain.
Overflow incontinence
occurs when your bladder
never fully empties and
pressure builds causing
leakage.
Urge
incontinence
occurs when your bladder
leaks and you have a sudden strong urge to go to
the bathroom even if you
just went.
For many women.
bladder control problems
may be caused by the
stress of childbirth or by
medications they're taking for other condiuons.
Other women expenence
bladder control problems
when some of the bladder
muscles weaken after
menopause.
If you cxpencnce any
of the following symp·
toms, don't suffer unnecessarily. See your primary
care physician or a urologist. the doctor who specializes in treating these
problems.
Symptoms are:
•urine leakmg when
you laugh. cough, sneeze
or strain
•a constant need to go
to the bathroom
•having unne dribbles
throughout the day
•weanng a pad or
another product to protect
clothing.

Quilt gift
Former Prestonsburg kindergarten aid Joyce Cochran was presented a quilt Monday, January 22 with squares made by her former students during the eight years she was a kindergarten aid in Phyllis
Allison's class. Fifty-two students worked on the quilt. As Cochran
examined her gift, her young grandson, Jesse, said "Mamaw, you're
rich." She wiped tears from her face and replied: "Yes, I am, and I'll
treasure It always." (photo by Janice Shepherd)

Dying lroDJ
e.DJ.barrassDJ.~Dt
Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 cause of
death and disability in America today. About
925,000 Americans a year die of it and last year
w alone, it cost the nation an estimated $137.7 billion
in health care. In the African-American community, cardiovascular disease accounts for
almost 33 percent of
all deaths among men
and nearly 43 percent
of deaths in women.
Each February, during American Heart Month,
the American Heart Association launches a nationwide educational campaign relating to cardiovascular disease. For February 1996 the educational
message is, "Don't die of embarrassment."
The average heart attack victim waits at least
one hour before seeking medical help. Why?
Often, he or she is afraid to face the possibility of
something as serious as a heart attack or stroke or
does not want to risk the embarrassment of a "false
~
alarm"
Consequently, some 250,000 people a year die
of heart attack within one hour of the onset of
symptoms and before they reach the hospital.
Many others who survive reduce their chances of
full recovery and compromise their quality of life
by waiting too long to get medical care.
It is important to know the warning signs of
heart attack and stroke. The symptoms of heart
attack are uncomfortable pressure, fullness,
squeezing or pain in the center of the chest that
lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and
comes back; pain that spreads to the shoulders,
neck or arms; chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of
breath.
The warning signs of stroke are sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, often
causing a fall; loss of speech or trouble underimportant?
standing others; sudden loss of vision in one eye;
"In the case of heart attack, time is muscle," said
and, sudden, severe headaches with no apparent Robin Howell, M.D., president of the Kentucky
cause.
Affiliate of the American Heart Association.
Why is getting immediate medical help so
"The longer blood does not flow to the heart, the
•
•
longer the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen.
Without oxygen, the muscle tissue dies," Dr.
Howell said.
Medical personnel can administer thrombolytic
drugs, according to Dr. Howell, which open up the
arteries and release the flow
of blood. These drugs have
their maximum effectiveness
within the first two hours of a
heart attack.
"Those who wait too long to get medical help,
but survive their attack, may find their remaining
years and quality of life drastically reduced
because only a portion of their heart is able to
pump the blood their body needs," Howell said.
Similarly, in the case of stroke, "time is brain
tissue," said Howell. "When the brain is
deprived of oxygen, the tissue dies. You can
often walk away from a heart attack without
being significantly changed, but stroke can have
a profound effect on your intellectual capacity,
ability to communicate and physical mobility.
And it can take a serious toll on family members
who have to provide the caregiving," Howell
added.
For more information about American Heart
Month activities in the Floyd County area or to
learn more about heart attack and stroke, call
1-800-AHA- USA1 (1-800-242-8721).
The American Heart Association, with 4.2 million volunteers, is dedicated to reducing disability and death from cardiovascular diseases and
stroke. Since 1963, February has been designated as American Heart Month by a presidential
proclamation to recognize the continuing fight
against heart disease and stroke and the need for
all Americans to take part.
The American Heart Association spent more
than $230.1 million during fiscal year 1994 1995
for research support, public and professional
education, and community programs. The AHA
is the largest voluntary health organization fighting heart disease and stroke, which annually kill
almost 925,000 Americans.

(NAPS)-An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cures, and your house-just like
your car-needs regular maintenance to stay in shape.
It's especially important to
give your home a tune-up before
winter hits. Here is a fall home
maintenance checklist that can
help you save money while also
giving you a healthier, more
comfortable home.
• The best use of your heating
and cooling equipment .is to get
opumum comfort when you're
home and awake, and optimum
energy savings when you're
gone or asleep.
A programmable thermostat
does that for you automatically.
And, according to Honeywell's
thermostat experts. it can automatically pay you back w1th the
equivalent of one, two or even
three months of free heating or
air conditioning every year.
• There is no better way to
reduce the risk of breakdowns
and big repair bills than by having your heating and cooling
equipment
professionally
checked and cleaned at least
once a year.
Belts and parts wear out;
dirty equipment wastes money
and energy; cracked heat
air conditioner compressor.
Cover the central air unit
with plastic or a tarp, secured
with duct tape, to protect it from
leaves. snow and ice during the
months it won't be used.
(Remember to remove the covering before using the air conditioner again.)
For free information on programmable thermostats, call
Honeywell at 1-800-345-6770,
ext. 7120.

exchangers and chimney flues
on a furnace or water heater can
leak deadly carbon monoxide
gas.
• Have your ducts professionally cleaned every two or three
years.
• Have your central air serVICed at the same time you get
your fall furnace tune-up. It's
more convenient and less
expensive than a separate air
conditioner service call in the
spring and your cooling system
will be ready to go when you
need it.
• The easiest. cheapest protection for your expensive heating and cooling equipment is to
change the filter-or wash the
cells on an electronic air cleaner-monthly.
A clogged filter is asking for
trouble because your beating
and cooling equipment strains
to move a1r through it.
Plus. a dirty filter will noticeably mcrease the dust build-up
in your house-and you' II be

• Clear away debris on or
around a heat pump or central
Cold weather is one of the
worst enemies of the small engines
that run outdoor power equipment.
But hard-starting can be preventable.
Begin with the fuel. Many people don't know refiners vary gasoline blends according to the sea- ~
sons.
For example, in summer they
alter the formula to reduce volatility (the rate at which it evaporates). In winter they change it
again, to help with hard-to-start
engines.
Also, gas tends to break down
in storage. Dratn the fuel tank
before putting away a piece of
equipment, then fill up fresh when
you take it out again.
To prevent deterioration of gas, storage containers should have
tightly fitting caps. Allowing fuel
to be exposed to air can lead to
gum formation, octane loss and
moisture pick-up, which all contribute to hard-starting and poor
engine performance.
RFG was developed for automobiles but it works fine in all
types of small engines too.
Thanks to reformulated gasoline, engines of all types will spew
300,000 fewer tons of smog-forming hydrocarbons into the air this ~
year. That's the equivalent of taking eight million cars off the road.

(NAPS)-You've
probably
heard that organic food is good for
your health and the environment
but what exactly does "organic"
mean?
"Organic" farming techniques
eliminate the need for chemical
pesticides, and some say they
enhance the flavor, taste and nutrient content of fruits and vegetables.
Concern for their health and the
health of their famil ies typically
leads consumers to make organic
selections, but organic customers
also quickly recognize that produce
grown in a healthy environment
simply tastes better. Muir Glen, the
leading producer of organic tomato
products, finds that its organic
farming methods yield tomatoes
that have 25 percent more natural
sugar and are noticeably sweeter
than conventionally grown tomatoes.
When it comes to grocery shopping, "organic" also means:
• More selections. Organic foods
have become more mainstream and it
is now more likely than ever you will
find them in your local supermarket-and in every food department.
• Simpler ingredients. Because
organic products are minimally
processed, you won't find any nonessential preservatives and stabilizers on the content labels-and you
will not find any unrecognizable
ingredients.
Quality, Environmentally
Sound Packaging. Muir Glen's
approach to packaging is representative of other organic selections.
The company prints all of its labels
and promotional materials on recycled paper and uses recyclable jars
as well as the maximum amount of •
recycled steel in manufacturing its
cans. The use of recycled products
helps reduce waste in landfills and
further protects the environment.
•Opportunities
to
Support
Environmental
and
Social
Organizations. Many organic food
companies are dedicated to supporting local and natural environmental
and social organizations by donating a portion of their proceeds.
Muir Glen donates ten percent of its
profits to organizations that are
working to protect the envtronment.

Eldercare
Locator
saluted
dedicated
American
Caregivers
during
National
Caregivers
Week.
Hundreds of thousands of older
t people are able to stay in the community and at home due to the tireless efforts of family members and
professional caregivers. Caregivers
assist with meals, personal care,
transportation, and a host of other
supportive care.
Caregivers, whether living near
or afar, will find it easier to assist
older family members and friends
thanks to the ELDERCARE
LOCATOR. The Eldercare Locator
America's "Baby Boom" generation, those 76 million of us born
between 1946 and 1964. is starting
to reach a new milestone. And with
it comes changes in our bodies
we'll have to learn to live with.
The bottom line: Every seven
and one-half seconds this year, a
._baby boomer will turn age 50. As a
"!nember of the generation that
embraced an obsession with youthful things, you may not be that
happy with what you'll see in the
mirror _or .f.~ow yo~ feel when you
get up m tne mommg.
For aging boomers, some of the
changes are obvious-graying (or
thinning) hair, a thickening around
the middle and the appearance of
your first "real" wrinkles.
Some of the changes are not so
easily seen by the outside world: a
~ecrease in aerobic capacity, an
increase in joint pain, problems
with see1ng or hearing that you didn't seem to have 20 years ago.
"Aging is a fact of life," says
Gary Goldstein, M.D., of FHP
Health Care, one of the nation's
largest health maintenance organizations. "There are ways to fight it,
and there are ways to be smart
about adapting to the many changes
in your body that are inevitable."
The health experts at FHP offer
is a national, toll-free. directory
assistance service providing information about home and community
services that help older people lead
healthy, independent lives.
"Because this is a nationwide
service. it 1s tdeal for long-distance
caregivers, but the Eldercare
Locator is equally useful to identify
resources within your own state,"
declared Fernando M. Torres-Gil,
U.S. Assistant Secretary for Aging.
"The Eldercare Locator operators
can provide you with the best
source of information in the community where the older person
lives."
the following tips to help you stay
younger longer:
• Eat right. You could get by on
nothing but pizza and soft drinks in
college. but good nutrition is crucial
to making the most of what you've
got. Cut down on fat, eat less meat
and more fruits and vegetables.
(Your mom was right, you know.)
• Drink up. You've heard again

Macular hole surgery has a tough post-op
By M.R. Hiller
Surgeons typically descnhe the
of these surgeries two ways.
F1rst. surgical success means the
surgeon released the tens1on on the
macular hole and the hole healed
properly. Second. and more important to the patient. is the measure of
resulting 'isual acuity. In Wendel
and Kelly's early cases, about half
of the operattons were constdered
surgically successful. and about 40
percent of these pallents eventually
obtatned vision of 20/40 or better
with corrective lenses. As the procedure has been refined, several
researchers
have
reported
first-surgery success rates of 90
morethan percent with 78 percent
of the patients achieving corrected
viswn of 20/40 or better.
It's not clear just why the results
have improved. All the physician
groups with the best results use the
head-prone posttion for one or two
weeks.
One of the groups reporting the
best success rates, the Retina
Institute of Maryland, also uses
gro\ltth factor directly on the macula. Senior partner Dr. John
Thompson and his group beheve
that thb growth factor, \\ htch can
be extracted from the pauent's own
platelets, enhances healing. Their
surgical success rate is 93.5 percent. with a final visual acuity with
corrective lenses of 20/40 or better
in 74 percent of the eyes.
Thompson's results were published
in the January 1995 issue of
American
Journal
of
Ophthalmology.
Wendel and Kelly claim equal
results without the growth factor
and say they see no reason to use it.
Their results have yet to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
"The surgery is actually qu1te
straightforward . The week spent
with your head down is the trying
part." Thompson said in an interview. Dr. Edwin Ryan. retinal surgeon from the Phillips Eye Instttute
in Minneapolis. said in an interview
that in reviewing his group's published data. the roughly 6 percent of
the patients who did not have a successful surgery all failed to comply
wtth the strict headprone position.
"Mo!>t people are willing to
accept some inconveniences and
some risk in order to regain functional viswn, ·• said Ryan in an
interview.
Dr. Charles Schepens, professor
of ophthalmology at Harvard
Medical School in Boston, and hts
retinal group are planning to test a
new procedure in humans that
removes this requirement.
The major consequence of macular hole repair is the development
of cataracts within two years in
more than 70 percent of patients.
Most experts simply deal with the
cataracts and subsequent surgical
repair as they occur.
Studies have repeatedly reported
that the macular hole reappears in
about four percent of patients.
Also. retinal detachment occurs in
about one percent of the patients.
Sometimes this 1s noticed during
the procedure and repaired then. If
not, a second surgical procedure is
necessary. Rare complications such
as infections may occur, but have
about the same small risk as any

The crux of the problem is coping with the postoperative period.
Wendel and Kelly place so much
Importance on this element that
they make their pauents prove that
they will have .someone cook. drive

also have a scrapbook filled with
former patients' photos and ideas
for coping with the postoperative
pcnod. "We have found that this
scrapbook has really motivated
some ingenuity in dealing with this
trying period," said Wendel in an
interview. A free publication is
expected to be published in the next
several months showing the
patient's creative head-prone ideas.
Waiting ts not wise. In 1988, Dr.
Donald Gass. of Bascom Palmer
Eye Institute in Miami, classified
macular holes from Stage 1 to
Stage 4. The level is established
according to the site and breadth of
involvement, with most holes progressing from Stage 2 to 3 or 4 over
a period of several months. Several
studies have found that the best surgtcal success rates arc achieved
with ne'\ (less than six months
from the start of symptoms) Stage 2
holes. (Stage I is not operated on.)
A typtcal sign of a macular hole
is a permanent jag or wave in the
vision . Viewing a light pole may
show a jag in the otherwise straight
line of the pole. If vision loss has
been sudden, especially if in one
eye. experts believe a patient
should immediately sec an ophthalmologtst. There arc some diseases,
such as macular degeneration, that
cannot be cured, but macular holes
can be. If a retinal problem is suspected. an ophthalmologist should
refer the patient to a retinal expert.
Further tests will be performed and,
tf a macular hole is diagnosed,
surgery will be considered.
Experts say there are 30 to 50
retinal experts in the country who
are able to perform the procedure
with comparable results to those
published in the medical literature.
Prospective patients should ask the
surgeon how many procedures he

GRIEF
Grief is a natural healing
process that enables a person to
adjust to s1gmficant change or
loss. Although pa1nful, grief ts
also of great benefit. It provides a
penod of adjustment and an
opportunity to build a foundation
for a meaningful future.
Grief can be expressed phy:-oi·
cally as well us emotionally.
Physically grief may rnani fest
itself in various conditions. !oUCh
as exhaustion, insomnia. restlessness. constipation. d1arrhea. nausea. sighing. Emotionally it may
appear as denial. anger, guilt,
depression, and other strong feelings.
It is not uncommon to be prcocuppied with the 1mage of n
loved one \\ ho has died .
Survivors often report seeing,
having conversations with, or
even being touched by the
deceased person . This is normal.
No person or book can tell you
what your gncf should he like.
How long and in \\hat ways you
grieve will be unique to you.
There are stages of gncf that arc
more or less common to many
who suffer a loss.
Grief is difficult for every one.
You may not progress directly
from one stage to the next.
However. undcrstandtng what
others have experienced can help
you deal with your own emotion.
SHOCK AND DENIAL
If you lose someone suddenly
your first reaction may be shock.
This is natural and 11 protects you
from overwhelming pain . You
may even act like nothtng has
happened. You may not remember how you felt or acted dunng
this period.
Denial is normal. You know
what has happened but you don' t
real!) believe it. Denial may pass
qutckly, or last for months or
years. Denial is all right for a
while. It prov1des a brief respite
before you have to deal wtth loss.
but if dcn1allast too long, it could
$Cparate the grieving person from
reality.
GUILT AND ANGER
rcw people expenence the loss.
of someone or something important to them without some feel ings ot goth. You tell yourself
that you should have done things
differently: "if only" is a common
thought. You may feel there was
more you could have done. but
e\·entually feelings of guilt \\ill
be put in proper perspective.
Anger 1s also a normal
response. Many people feel rage,
or at least mtld anger. This anger
needs to be expressed . Some therapist recommend screaming or
yelling in a private place to vent
anger feelings .
ADJUSTMENT AND
ACCEPTANCE
Ltfe goes on. At some point in
the grieving process. you will be
better able to come to terms with
your loss. Grief will loosen its
hold on you, and, in struggling to
get on with life, you may discover new opportunities.
Loss teaches us new lessons
you may learn wisdom from your
experience and be belter able to
help others .
TIPS FOR CAREGIVERS
At every stage of the grievmg
process, care givers and friends
can protect -.·afuable support.
SHOCK/DENIAL STAGE
Give hugs, hold hands, send
cards. notes. flowers. Prov1de
food, transportation. do chores
but expect the person to help the
person to sec the cvtdencc of the
loss and gtve the person time to
be alone.
GUILD AND ANGER STAGE
Listen. show no JUdgement
unless asked. Call or visit often,
silence is okay. Accept abrupt •
mood shifts. Provide assurance
that the person was not to blame.
Recommend and help arrange for
support groups.
ADJUSTMENT AND
ACCEPTANCE STAGE
Invite the person to go places
and encourage exercise. Offer to
listen and reinforce your friendship .
Encourage
rebuilding
friendships. Offer opportunities
for recreation.
There arc several things the •
gneving person should do for
example; allow yourself to cry,
take time to grieve, talk about
your grief. Friends may not know
what to say so let them know it's
alright to talk nbout the loss. Get
regular exercise, cat well postpone major decisions. write your
thoughts down, paint or draw
your grief. join a support group
and talk to your pastor.
The signal to call a Health
Professional may appear when
you arc unahle to grieve soon ~
after the Joss. When you feel
anger at specific people whom
you blame for the loss.
If social isolation increases
after a normal period of mournmg. If there is evidence of self
destructive behaviors. If there arc
undiminished and overwhelming
feelings of guilt.

of resources and health programs
that can help them enhance their
own health care :md lead a full
life. Few of the e programs are
per~onalized to the o;pecific health
and lifestyle interest~ of the
patient, however.
This is what makes the introduction of Living at Your Best, a
quarterly health publication

your diet
• Low~fat recipes
• Suggestions for maintaining a healthy heart
It also points out the importance of remembering to check
with your physician before beginning any exercise program.
After recetving the first issue.
subscribers fill out a questionnaire about such topics as their
activity level and health condition
and return it to the publication.

Diabetes is a condition that can
interfere with the body's ability to
use and store sugar. But few people
realize how Diabetes can also over
time, affect one's visiOn.
Diabetes can sometimes weaken
and cause changes in the small
blood vessels that nourish the eye's
light sensitive retina. When this
occurs, it is called diabetic
retinopathy. These changes may
include leaking of blood, development of brush-hke branches of the
vessels and enlargement of certain
parts of the vessels.
Diabetic retinopathy can seriously affect vision and if left
untreated. cause blindness. "Early
diagnosis and treatment ts essential.
that's why it is important to have a
dilated eye exam at least annually
by a doctor of optometry, especially if you are a diabetic or if you
have a family history of diabetes,"
says Dr. James Sawyer, Chainnan
of the Kentucky Optometric
Foundation.
To detect diabetic retinopathy.
your doctor can look inside your
eyes with an instrument called an
ophthalmoscope, which lights and
magnifie~ the blood vessels in your
eyes. The interior of your eyes may
also be photographed to provide
more infonnation.
The beginning stages of diabetic
retinopathy may cause blurriness in

(NAPS)-Maybe you meant to
get a flu shot early this fall and just
didn't get around to it. However,
there's still ttme for procrastinators to seek prevention. The flu,
which usually peaks from late
December through February, can
circulate nght through the spring
months.
Many people think that if they
haven't had a flu shot in early fall,
they cannot protect themselves
from influenn. But experts on
influenza say otherwise.
"It takes about two weeks from
the time of the shot for the body to
develop influenza antibodies
against the influenza vtrus. A flu
shot now can help you avo1d the
disease,'' says Steven R. Mostow,
M.D., chairman of the Department
of Medicine at Rose Medical
Center in Denver and professor of
medictnc at the Universtty of
Colorado Health Sctcnces Center
Influenza can affect anyone, at
any age. For some people, flu is a
moderately severe illness that can
send them to bed for several days
and limit activity for additional

Getting ready for our party took
a lot of preparation and worktng
together. Everybody contributed
funds to cover cost of the food,
then the menu was made up; store
orders were then written; shopptng
was done and tbe meal was put
together. This all required team
work. As I said before, working
together, planning and preparation
,makes anything a success and our
Christmas party was a big success.
Truthfully saymg, we feel our
party out shone any other
Christmas party in the county.
There were lighted miniature trees,
tables decorated with white tablecloths and poinsettas, stlver candlelabras with glowing candles,
and punch bowls sparkling with
bubbling red and green punch.
There were huge platters of ham,
turkey, meat balls, cheese trays,

vision, or it may produce no visual
symptoms at all. It mainly depends
on where the blood vessel changes
are taking place in your eye's retina
(the light sensitive tissue at the
back of the eye where images are
focused). As diabetic retinopathy
progresses, you may notice a
cloudiness in your vision, blind
spots or floaters. This is usually
caused by blood leaking from
abnonnal new vessels which blocks
light from reaching the retina.
In advances stages connecttve
scar tissue fonns, causing more distortion and blurriness. Over time,
the tissue can shrink and detach the
retina by pulling it toward the center of the eye.

What's the best weapon to arm

"Knowledge is your best
weapon against violence." says
David Cannon, former White
House policy advisor on domestiC
issues including crime. "When it
comes to street violence, adequate
law enforcement personnel and
related protection programs are
simply not enough to combat the
problem."
To increase your odds in the
fight against crime, Cannon developed the Pubhc Partnership Against
Crime, an organization committed
to empowering individuals with the
skills to protect themselves. To

Security" is a comprehensive gmde,
edited and published by the Semor
Exchange, calhng Americans to

Social Security Trust Fund. The
editors say there are three major
problems that put Social Security in
crisis: Congress spending Social
Security reserves on "today's pork,"
growing demands for deep cuts in
senior benefits and Social Security
Administration mismanagement.

Insured municipal bond trusts
contain bonds that are generally
AAA rated by standard and poor's
and offer extra protecuon through
bond insurance. Timely payment of
interest and pnncipal on the underlying securities is guaranteed by
independent insurance companies.
Units of insured trusts are not guaranteed and will fluctuate with
changes in market condiuons.
BENEFITS OF MUNICIPAL
TRUSTS...
• Tax-free monthly income.
While bonds generally pay mterest
semi-annually. bond UITS provide
regular predictable monthly checks.
This feature appeals to retired
investors and other individuals who
need current income. At the time
you purchase a municipal trust, you
know your current return and your
estimated long-term return over the
life of the trust.
*Defined portfolios. Investors in
a municipal unit trust are buying a
pre-selected portfolio of quality
bonds and know in advance what
they are investing in. The portfolio
is defined so that the securities,
maturities, call dates and ratings
generally are all known before you
buy.
* Professional selection. Each
trust's portfolio is selected by a
team of professional municipal
bond analysts and buyers who evaluate a number of factors, mcluding:
The type of bond and purpose, call
features, economics, financial position, debt structure, management/governance and various
external factors.
*Portfolio supervision. Although
the municipal unit investment trust
is not managed, analysts generally
review and supervise the securities
in the portfolio on a regular basis.
This ensures that the quality of the

the trust.
*Diversification.
Municipal
bond portfolios are diversified by
issue and bond type to substantially
reduce overall investment risk. To
achieve comparable diversification
on one's own would requ1re considerable investment cap11al.
* Low minimum investment. For
a low minimum investment, often
as little as $1,000, individuals can
invest in a municipal trust and own
a well-diversified portfolio for a
substantially lower commitment of
capital than if they were to assemble a similar portfolio on their own.
* Automatic reinvestment.
Investors in municipal trusts may
elect to have distributions reinvested at no additional sales charge.
Automatic reinvestment increases
the earning power of the tax-free
investment through the benefit of
compounding.
* Liquidity. Units may be
redeemed at any time, without a fee.
The pnce rece1ved is based on the
then-current net asset value of the
securities in the portfolio, as determined by an independent evaluator.
This ensures a fair bid price with no
odd-lot
penalties.
However,
depending upon market conditions,
the price you receive will be more
or less than originally paid.
Whether your investment objective is to increase current income,
reduce taxable income, prepare for
retirement, or accumulate a college
education fund, UITS are available
in a wide variety of maturities to
conveniently and cost effectively
assist you in meeting your goals.
Like other investments, unit trusts
are subject to market fluctuations
and are also sensitive to interest rate
changes. When you consider a particular unit trust, read the prospec-
tus carefully before making any
investment decisions.

American taxpayer reaches the age
of 50, he or she bas already paid
enough in federal taxes to buy a
fair-sized farm and a new fourwheel-drive vehicle.
Now, with the nation in political
upheaval, increasing numbers of
older citizens are planning trips to
Washington, D.C., to learn-from
observation and on-site instructiOn-where their tax money goes,
how it's spent and bow the politicians who spend it live and work.
Many of these older Americans,
now retired, have an interest in
understanding and becoming
involved in the Washington
process.
"Older people who come to the
capital for an educational experience usually leave town excited and
energized, with a feeling that they
can and will make a difference in
American life in future years," says
Todd Crenshaw, manager of the
nonprofit, nonpartisan Close Up

Americans.

Washington in the past 25 years,
and the foundation is offering a
series of educational adventures
this spring and fall for week-long
semmars, tours and observations of fi

Participants in the Close Up program are offered unique opportunities to question those directly
involved in the governing and decision making-from members of
Congress to bureaucrats to members of the Washington press corps.
Close Up participants visit foreign embassies, take study tours of
national monuments with qualified
instructors, visit museums and
•
enjoy the capital's theater.
"Democracy is not a spectator
sport," says Crenshaw. "We must
all become involved if democracy
is to survive and flourish. This program offers those most interested
the chance to become better

While many of the pastimes popular in the north

there's no reason you shouldn't bait up a hook, toss it in

You can stop and smell the
roses too. Many vacationers
come just to drive the highway. You don't need a schedule. If you must have one,
you don't need to stick to it.
Take the time to stop by the

WINTER ACTIVITIES
In the winter, the Yukon
interior is actually semi-arid.
You don't find a lot of snow.
In February, the Yukon Quest
Sled Dog Race rivals the
Iditarod. Try your hand at
dog sledding with one the
many outfitters offering
tours. Cross-country skiing,
snowmobiling and snow
shoeing are also popular
activities. In the winter,
spring and early summer, try
telemark skiing in the
untracked powder of the St.

experience that won't soon

Canada is polite, friendly
and calm. The Yukon is a
special place even by
Canadian standards. It's a little bit friendlier, a little more
polite. It's a country of big
spaces and plenty of elbow
room. It's a safe place where
folks feel comfortable talking to strangers or even picking up hitch-hikers. It's a
country of characters. When
you get into the back country,
take the time to talk to people. Hear the stories of gold
and grizzlies and temperatures that'll freeze your ears
off.

There were just a few
visitors at the center
last week and Brown
said the numbers are
down.
"Things are kind of
slow right now because
of the weather, but this
place really booms
when the weather is
good."
The group has exercise classes twice a
week. Bingo is held
several times a month.
There's always something going on.
Like the Valentine's
Day party that's in the

The seniors from
McDowell are planning
to
travel
to
Wheelwright for a pot
luck lunch get together.
At the center, there's
something for everyone. Those who aren't
into crafts can watch
television, work a puzzle or play a game.
There are two sitting
areas, both with televisions and the facility is
light and airy.
Until last week, a
child care center wa~
housed next door and
often the seniors would
rock the babies or read
to the toddlers.
"This is a good
chance for them to get
out and enjoy themselves," Brown said.

·Default judgement is issued
against former police officer
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
v
A default judgment has been
granted in a federal sexual harasstnent lawsuit filed against a former
Wheelwnght C1ty police chief nnd
the city commission because no response was made in the case.
Wheelwright city attorney Tim
Parker sa1d TI10rsday that an extension of ume was granted to answer
the la\\SUJT, but that the answer was
filed past the 30-day extension previously granted.
Parker said that a motion would
be made to reconsider the judgment. The c1ty has hired attorney
C.V. Reynolds to defend the action.
Parker said.
In an order entered January 30 in
the case of Tonya Fanner versus
Tommy Engle and the commission.
Judge Joseph Hood said that the defendants failed to enter a plea or
otherwise defend rhe lawsuit.
Farmer filed the lawsunlast year
and accused Engle of sexually harassing her and grabbing ''an intimate part" of her body in the spring
of 1995.
"For approximately eleven
months prior to the incident,
(Engle) has made numerous unwelcome sexual advances toward
(Farmer). including a sexual assault
and battery committed against the
plaintiff's person during the spring
of 1995... ," the la\vsuit claimed.
"The unwelcome sexual advances
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
•
have continued and arc contmuing
up to the present.''
Because Farmer resisted Engle's
advances. the suit alleges, the for·
mer ch1ef "repeatedly. stalked,
stopped, detained and se1zed
Farmer on a false spcedmg charge.
Also. the suit claims that Engle
"wrongfully" arrested Farmer after
Fanner had an altercation with
Engle's wife and that Engle ·'viciously twisted and injured''
Farmer's arm and pulled her hair.
ln 1987, Engle was named in
and lost n civll rights lawsui..t while
he was a Martm C1ty policeman,
according to the suit.
"The defendant City of Wheelwright also had ample notice of the
violent propensities of the defcn-
dant Engle,'' the suit said. ''(Engle)
has previously been adjudged a
civil rights violator by this court in
an action styled Thornsberry v
Engle ... "
Farmer complamed of En_gle's
behavaor to Mayor Davad Marice
Sammons and former commissioner Andy Akers. the suit said.
Farmer did appear at a Wheelwright Clly Commission meeting
last year complaining about Engle.
Engle was fired in January because citizens' complamt.; had been
made against him and because of
Farmer's lawsuit. Mn)Or Sammons
said in January.
Farmer's lawsuit docs not spcci·
fy the amount of damages being
sought.

One unsigned piece of paper
could keep the financing for an industrial site in !vel from being approved.
And County Judge-Executive
Ben Hale expressed his. concern
about that at a special meeting of
the Floyd County Development
Authority Wednesday afternoon.
"I can honestly say up front that
th1s county Judge is not gomg to sit
here and accept liability without
them being first 10 line for responsibility," Hale said, referring to R
& S Body Company, the company
that has the option to purchase 20
acres of the property on the U.S. 23
industrial site.
R & S has signed all other doc·
umentation for the loan work. but
has not signed the paperwork to
complete the agreement for a Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG). The part of the agreement
not signed, accord1ng to Bob
Meyer. former judge-executive, in·
eludes Teqt.'irements th:n the com
pany create 77 new jobs when the
plant construction is complete. The
agreement, according to Meyer
who has been \\.Orking with Bill
Smith of R & S. also includes the
reqUirement that the company purchase the property and construct
the building.
"I got the papers back from their
a!lorney \\ith all that stuff crossed
out and frankly I'm concerned."
Hale said.
Wh1le the project is expected to
come in under budget and the
$593,000 to be received from
CDBG possibly might not be needed to be used in its entirety. Hale
said he is not willing to commit the
county to paying that money back
if those JObs arc not created.
Hale wants the papers signed
before work on the project continues. "We need to have all the docu·
mentation before we spend severance tax dollars.'' he said.
The county has committed S 1.4
million in coal severance funds for
the project. Those documents also
required the creation of jobs and
construction of the company plant,
but the repayment clause for those
funds calls for a repayment of $585
per job or a little more than
$45,000 if the jubs arc not created.
The CDBG funds require full repayment of the $593.00 if the 77
new jobs do not materialite.
"The difference is they're not
paying it back dollar for dollar.''
Hale said. "That's quire a bit of difference in hability to the county."
The company nO\\ employs
about 150 people and IS expected
to increase those numbers to about
223 when the building is completed. accordmg to Meyer.

A request from Prestonsburg
Community College for a new
building could be filled - at least
parually - if Governor Paul Patton's budget receives approval.
The budget calls for a cash disbursement of $5.5 milhon to PCC
to build n classroom/health educa·

Student Health Clinic and Well ness
Center. according to Pres1dcnt
Deborah Floyd.

Flo) d s:ud.
State Repre entauve and MaJority Aoor Leader Greg Stumbo said
he thinks the chances arc great that
the college will get the building
and he announced January 24 that
the building would probably be
shared by Morehead Stare University. "I am pleased that PCC w1ll be
the first community college to step
up to the go-.crnor's challenge for
cooperative ventures within the
umversiry system," Stumbo said.
Floyd said there have been djo;.
cussJOn!. with Morehead State Umversity focusing on a shared facility if funding is approved, but the
current level of proposed funding 1s
not enough to house both pro·
gwrns, accordmg to Floyd. She

between PCC and Morehead to
build the building together.

their mental health with referrals
and our dental hygiene program
started this fall so that's covered as
well."
It seems business is booming at

Iced tea advisory revised by health officials
Although Floyd County restaurants haven't had any problems
with unsafe iced tea, county residents should be aware of a few
changes m the state's brewed iced
tea adv1sory.
Further testing of brewed iced
tea samples throughout the state has
prompted Kentucky's Department
~ for Health Services to update its
policy on safe holding temperatures
for iced tea made by food establishments.
The new policy says that brewed
iced tea docs not have to be stored
at refrigerated or hot holding temperatures.
The policy still requires that all
tea brewed from leaves be prepared
in water maintained at 175°
Fahrenheit or higher for at least five
minutes continual brewmg. The tea
~ can be safely held for a maximum
of eight hours from the time of
brewing. In addJtiOn, all equipment
used to brew and hold the tea must
be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized
prior to brewing.
Evidently, that's something
restaurants in Floyd County have
been doing right.
"Restaurants here have been
pretty well thoroughly brewing
·their iced tea," John Bailey, health
environmentalist with the Floyd
County Health Department. said
• Tuesday. "Once it goes through the
boiling process, it's hot enough to
kJ II bacteria "
Baile)' said the tea ad\ IS Or)'
1ssued by the state mainly concerned the use of tea bags and suntea. Tests conducted by the state
health department's laboratory 10
September revealed high counts of
coliform bacteria in more than 70
percent of the 73 samples from food
establishments in seven areas of
Kentucky.
Nearly 40 percent of the 73 samples tested positive for fec;al colifonns. The 73 samples were taken
at food establishments in the
Northern
Kentucky
Health
Department
district,
Fayette
County,
Franklin
County,
Louisville/Jefferson County, Lake
Cumberland Health Department
district, FIVCO (Ashland area)
Health Department district, and
Laurel County.
No incidence of unsafe iced tea
was found in Floyd County, according to Bailey.
Dr. Rice C. Leach. state health
commissioner. said the primary
cause for the high coliform counts
found in tea served by most of the
retail food establishments tested
last fall was related to poor cleaning
and sanitization of the storage and
dispensing equipment.
"The new tea brewing procedures focus on brewing tempera-
ture, and equipment sanitization,
but do not require that brewed iced
tea be held at 'safe' hot or refrigerated temperatures," he said.
Follow-up tests of six of the
Northern Kentucky food establishments that onginally had high levels of contamination showed that all
but one Improved dramatically.
Recent analyses of samples of
known contaminated tea leaves
showed that a certain holding temperature is not necessary when tea
brewing equipment is operated
according to health services new
standards and the manufacturer's
specifications
using properly
cleaned and sanitized equipment,
because bacteria is killed, John
Draper, the state health department's food safety and cosmetics
branch manager, said.
Brewed iced tea that is improperly prepared can cause intestinal
illnesses due to bacteria that gets on
the tea leaves during the drying
process, packaging and transporation from countries in mostly tropical climates. The warnmg does not
apply to instant tea because the
process to make the tea kills bacteria.
The tea brewer and storage dispenser should be thoroughly
cleaned and sanitized daily. Hoses,
spigots and other components
should be disassembled for proper
cleaning and sanillzation. Retail
food establishments should handle
brewed tea in a manner that prevents cross contamination, including thorough hand washmg.
The question of whcther or not
brewed 1ced tea in restaurants IS
safe surfaced when a restaurant
patron 1n Cincinnati complained
that his iced tea smelled like
sewage. That prompted an Ohio
:.tudy. which discovered the comarnination problem.
Draper noted that homemade
brewed iced tea should be handled
properly to prevent contamination.
People should clean eqUipment by
conventional manual dish washing
methods and sanitize by usmg
approved disinfectants or boiling
pans, equ1pment and utensils used
to brew or dispense tea. People

Health departntent to expand hours
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
Starting in March, the Floyd
County Health Department will be
• serving even more people than it is
now.
The department is expanding its
hours and will be open from 7 a.m.
to 6 p.m. The department is now
open from 7:30 a m . to 4:30 p.m.
The new schedule begins March 4.
"We wanted to be open when
more people could use us," Jane
Bond, a spokesman for the health
department said. "We were hearing
that the department wasn't open
when some people could use it. We
want to be open at hours when people need us."
She said any type of service now
offered during regular hours will be
available during the longer hours
starting in March.
"Only the special climes will
still be on an appointment basis,"
Bond said. "And we're working at
getting some doctors to be here for
the later hours for those as well."
One of the reasons the department is expanding its hours is to
make services available to
teenagers.
"They were telling us they
couldn't use the services we were
telling them about because they
couldn't get out of school without
their parents' permission," Bond
said. "Now we'll be able to meet
their needs as well."
For employees of the department, that means a change in work
hours, too.
Employees will now work a
four-day week with three ten-hour
days and the fourth a seven-and-ahalf-hour day.
"This will let the staff off too on
days when they can take care of
doctor appointments and dentist
appointments and other business,"
Bond said. "That way, they won't
have to use vacation time to take
care of that kind of business. It
should help employee morale."
But she said employees aren't
adjusted yet. "lt's gomg to take
some getting used to."
The program is modeled after
other health departments that have
extended hours. "But I don't know
if they are offering· the flex-time
schedule or not," Bond said.

Liberty of thought is the life of the soul Voltaire
The lives we
save...
by Scott Perry
We've often been critical of
our government leaders when
their actions are perceived as
intrusions into our private concerns, but there arc occasions
when the line separating personal rights and public needs is
too thin to make a real difference.
Such is the case with legislation currently under consideration in Frankfort that deals with
teen driving privileges.
Statistics
show
that
Kentucky has the unfavorable
distinction of leading the country in the number of youthful
deaths in auto accidents, and
the General Assembly is
attempting to address that
deplorable stat by toughening
teen licensing requirements.
It is the proper thing to do.
Among the stricter provisions under discussion is one
that would require young drivers between the ages of 16 and
18 to complete a course in drivers' education before becoming eligible for a license.
At first glance that wou ld
appear to be a no-brainer, particularly to those of us who
turned sweet sixteen way back
when nearly every high school
around offered drivers' ed as a
routine elective.
But times have changed, and
many schools have found themselves without the resources, in
people and money, to continue
those classes. As a result, too
many kids are getting behind
the wheels of cars without the
knowledge or experience they
need to be safe drivers.
So, yes, let's mandate drivers' education; let's put it in all
of our high schools as required
curiculum; and let's fund the
program adequately.
The money we spend will not
be an expense, but an investment in lives and safety.
Is there any better way to
spend money?

The revolution of the 104th
Congress has brought the discussion of welfare reform into the
national limelight. Most of the discussion has focused on how to save
taxpaycl'l\ money by forcing people
off of welfare rolls.
Very little discussiOn has centered on how 10 help families get
out of poverty or the responsibilities of both parents to their children
or how economic development and
health care refonn and a myriad ol
other reforms arc inextricably tied
to welfare refom1.
Two different welfare bills were
passed by Congress and vetoed by
President Clinton. These bills signaled the end of our nation's commitment to provide at least basic
sustenance to the most vulnerable
people in our soc1ety.
They block granted funds to the
states so that states could develop
their own programs, yet still
included many federal strings and
few contingency funds for times of
crises.
The rules included time limits
that dad not take mto account mdlvidual ctrcumstanccs and work
requirements Without appropriate
supports or applicability to the job
market or mdiv1dual.
This h~t rule could put parents
in a position of having to choose
between lcav1ng their children
unauended because there are not
enough child care funds or not fulfilling their work requirement.
In both instances, we as a society have put the children at riskthey euher .,.. ill be left alone or
their source of food and shelter will
be cut off.

for
the
Commonwealth (KFTC), along
with others, is working in
Kentucky for effective and fair
welfare reform that is based on
helping people to meet their needs
and aclueve their goals.
Central to KFfC's efforts are
the ideas that welfare reform must

Lack of
adequate land
disqualifies school
Editor:
I applaud Mr. Derek Hicks·
excellent letter (Fer 1-24-96) concerning the Prestonsburg High
School.
It Wtls very thorough and logically presented. The facts and
issues he detailed would seem adequate to prevent the waste ol $9.7
nullion of taxpayer money on this
outdated hulk.
But tlus as Floyd County where
we favor the cult of the individual
rather than the '' clfare of the people.
I would like to add two additwnal bits of information to Mr.
Htcks presentntion .
Kentucky state law requires that
a potential high school campus
have an enctical 10 acres land for
the m:-un building; and I acre of
land for each I 00 students.
With PHS's pre~ent enrollment:
18 acres of land for a campus 1s
required.
This is not possible at the present sue. Additionally, Kentucky
stace law prohibits the construeliOn-and presumably-the reconstruction of a school building in the
flood plain.
TiliS alone would seem to eliminate the present site from consid·
eration as a campus.
But as Paul Harvey says, we
need to know the rest of the story.
It IS said that some people .,.. ant
to freeze our present and further
generations of students in a perpetual "Happy Days" scene at "their''
high school-a kind of shnne to
the glory of their youth, and this
being Aoyd County. they will most
likely succeed.

Charges dismissed after witness fails to show
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Charges of first degree wanton
endangerment sought by the wife of
an Allen City Commission against
an Allen man were dismissed
Wednesday when the complaining
witness failed to attend a preliminary hearing.
John Cory Patton, 19, is accused
of throwing a homemade bomb at
the home of Commissioner Billy
Salisbury on January 6 Patton's
twin brother. Phillip Patton, IS
charged with fourth degree assault
for an alleged altercation with
Salisbury.
Salisbury's wife. Greta, swore
out four charges of first degree
wanton endangerment and one
charge of possession of a destructive device against John Patton after
the explosion at her home on
January 22.
The Salisbury's testified last
week in a contempt hearing concerning Phillip Patton on the assault
charge that the two families have
had a long-standing feud and that
Phillip Pauon had violated the
tenl1S of his released by coming
withm 500 feet of her husband.
Additional charges of second
degree stalking and menacing were
lodged against Phillip Patton by
Salisbury because of an alleged
mcident in Prestonsburg prior to the
contempt hearing.
Floyd District Judge James
Allen ruled that Phillip Patton had
violated a restraining order and
?lafJIMI
75~~~
ordered him jailed until a February
28 hcarmg.
On Wednesday, a preliminary
hearing was to be held for John
Patton, but the Salisburys did not
attend to testify. County attorney
pro tern John Mann moved to dismiss the charges because the complaining witnesses failed to appear.
The Patton's attorney. John
Coleman, also asked Judge Allen to
reconsider Phillip Patton's bond.
Judge Allen granted Coleman's
motion to reduce the bond ..

Authority will consolidate bills at city office
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
To eliminate confusion between agencies and payments passing back and forth, the Floyd
County Development Authority
agreed Wednesday to pay all the
bills associated with the tourism
build1ng on North Lake Drive.
In return, three other agencies
that share the facility will pay the
authority $225 a month.
"Each will now share the costs
of the building equally, but it
won't be a billing nightmare,"
L1sa Burchett, executive secretary
of the authority said.
Participating m the agreement
with the authority will be the
Floyd County Chamber of
Commerce, the Prestonsburg
Tourism Commission and the
Kentucky Opry.
The decision to streamline the
usc of the building came about
after Burchett realized that the
chamber owed the authority about
$1 ,300, but the authority owed the
chamber $1,200.
"We are just passing money
back and forth," she said. "It's a
logistical nightmare."
Bob Meyer and Burchett sa1d
they met with the chamber last
week, looked at all the bills asso-
ciated with the building, including
equipment charges and cleaning
services. and came to a monthly
bill total of $820.
"This would amount to $205
per month prorated," a document
states. "In order to cover unex·
pectcd costs, we propose $225 per
month to be paid to FCDA by the
Kentucky Opry, chamber of commerce. and the tourism commission.''

apparently walked away from the
jail through the front office,
Lindsay said.
"A con man IS what he is,"
Lindsay said. "While he was out,
he called the sheriff several times
and threatened to shoot h1m. He
also called two detectives and
threatened to blow up their houses.
He called a lot of times, but we
could never trace them."
Lindsay added that charges
could be brought against Shepherd
related to the threats.
As to the theft conviction,
Shepherd would apparently purchase merchandise through credit
cards or other means and then sell
the goods to people without the
items being paid for, the lieutenant
said.
"He would go buy things on
credit, then go sell it and disappear," Lindsay said. "He would
buy things like four-wheelers and
have the paperwork and turn
around and sell it. The people who
bought it didn't know it was stolen
merchandise.··
Shepherd is also wanted in
Indiana, and West Virgmia for
writing worthless checks, Lindsay
said.

Feathers ruiDed after ntan shot by dog
by Mark Grayson
The Martm County Sun
•
t
The news spread fast when
folks tn Martin County first heard
of a freak shooting incident mvolving a couple of b1rd hunters and
their dog on Monday. January 25.
Curt Smith of Coldwater, was
shot in both lcgs,by shotgun pellets
when the Spnnger Spaniel hunting
dog he and companion John
Phillips of Tomahawk were hunting with. Smith wa!> standing up
the hill from a small gully where
Phillips was rctneving a quail from
"Rusty," a three· year-old spanJCl,
when the dog Jumped and hit the
safety mechanism on Phillips'
Winchester 12-gauge shotgun and
then the trigger. which caused the
accident.
More than 60 pellets from the
gun hit Smith, who was standing
about 25 feet up the hill.
Media in other areas qutckly
jumped on the story, which was
reported last week in the Sun.
Soon
other
papers
from
Williamson to Lexington got the
story. The story was picked up by
the national media. The story ran
on NBC and CBS newscasts, radio
shows. and was reported in newspapers across the nation.
Rumors of calls from Jay Leno
of the Tonight Show and other
national media were rampant last
week. but only confirmed calls
came from Inside Edit1on and
People magazine, who both contacted the Martin County Sheriff's
off1ce Talk show host Rush
Limbaugh picked up on the incident and poked fun at the incident,
one Martin Countian said.
Some of the callers were seriously Interested in the story, but
most were interested in poking fun
at Martin County and, perhaps,
mountain people in general.
The incident brought back
memories to some of the Bill
Moyers interview in the 1970s that
told of the poverty in Martin
County wh1le never mentioning the
n1ce homes and intelligent people
who, make up the vast majority of
Marun Counuans.
Curt Smith's wife Linda said
Saturday that her husband ts home
after a week-long stay in
Highlands Regional
Medical
Center recuperatmg from the gunshot wounds.
"He is still very sore and we
don't know how long it will be
before he IS completely better,·· she
said. Linda has refused to give
interviews after getting several
tnsulting calls from radio and TV
stations all over this country and
Canada. And Linda doesn't think
all tht; hoopla, including calls from
Inside Edition and other TV and
radio shows asking about the incident, is a bit funny.
Linda sa1d It was especially irritating when an Ontario, Canada
rad1o stau on called and acted the
parts of Andy Griffith and Barney
Death of 15-year-old boy found
~ in Levisa Fork ruled an accident
by Christopher Hunt ·
Appalachian News-Express
Virgm1a State Police Sgt. B.I.
Sparks ruled the death of Edward
Allen Skeens, 15, of Mouthcard,
accidental. Skeens was found dead
Monday, January 22, floating on
debris in the Levisa Fork of the Big
Sandy River.
Skeens was reported missing
Saturday night, January 20, after the
pickup truck he wa~ operatmg rolled
(t. into the nver near the KentuckyVirginia state line. The truck was m
the parking lot of a Shell Mart when
Skeens was reportedly asked by h1s
frie~. David Lawson, to warm up
the truck.
Lawson told Virginia State
Police (VSP) Trooper George Bell
he came out to the parking lot and
saw where the truck had broken
through a fence and rolled into the
river, but there was no sign of
Skeens. It is still not known how the
accident occurred.
Pike County Coroner Charles
Morris said the cause of the death
had been detennined to be drowning. but the toxicology report
wouldn't be ready for a couple of
weeks.
The truck was found the next
morning, about 200 yards down
river, and Skeens • body was found
about six miles down the river from
the Shell Mart, near Feds Creek.
Skeens' disappearance was originally thought to be a missing person
case by the VSP, because it was
thought Skeens possibly ran away
when the accident occurred.
A helicopter was used to scout
the area as soon as authorities were
notified and divers searched the
river Sunday and Monday, working
their way down river from the site
of the acc1dent.
Several emergency service agencies assisted with the search.
Project at Yatesville Lake
included by Governor Patton
by J er ry Pennington
The Big Sandy News
•
•
Governor Paul Patton raised
some economic hope in Lawrence
County with his two-year budget
proposal by 1ncluding two projects for Yatesville Lake.
If the governor's budget 1s
passed, Yatesville Lake would
receive $l.J 73 million next year
to build a marina at Barker's Run
boat ramp and the county may
receive $2.2 million for a campground.
"We worked hard with this
governor and tned to stress the
importance of this project for
Lawrence
County,"
Representative Rocky Adkins
said. "We hope we can get
enough support in the House and
Senate to support his recommended budget."
In
his
State
of
the
Commonwealth address January
22. Patton said he expected the
state would have an excess of
$205 million in cash at the end of
the fiscal year.
Half of this will go to construction projects across the state,
which include the proJects at
Yatesville.
The marina project in the state
will receive funding if the governor's budget is passed
··we· re ecstatiC," Yatesville
Lake Resource Manager John
McGinn said. ·'A marina is very
much needed at this time.''
McGinn said these projects
would get things going at the
lake, while at the same time help
the overall economy of Lawrence
County.
"It can only do good things for
Yatesville Lake," McGinn said.
"People from other counties will
be renting (boat slips) and they'll
be pumping money into the area."
If funding is approved, the
marina would include a head
dock with a I ,500 square-foot
sales area and 140 boat slips.
The campground would consist of 60 individual lots complete
with a pool and bathhouse.
Bestdes the lake projects, the
governor 's budget also called for
construction of a new $1.1 million
highway
maintenance
garage.
Adkins said th is is a much
needed project for Lawrence
County because the current state
highway garage is outdated and
needs to be replaced.
Also included in the budget
proposal is $5.5 million for new
classroom facilities at Ashland
Community College, Adkins said.
Fyfe of Mayberry while asking
about the incident.
''I can understand '-"hY someone
might think a dog shooting someone is humorous, but they never
asked how Curt was or anything.
They just wanted an interview so
they could make jokes about us."
She added, "One of the stations
that called even wanted to take the
dog into the hospital room and take
a photo of it with Curt."
"
Three people were arrl.!sted early
Tuesday morning and charged with
consptracy to traffic in a controlled
substance (marijuana).

They were arrested and lodged

The incident was definitely no
laughing matter to local game warden Ken Goforth. "Hunters need to
be more aware ol the danger that
exists when hunting with dogs.
Even though they are bred and
trained for hunting, dogs can be
quite unpredictable at times."

their JObs. although the center
remams open with Apple Valley
truck dnvers helping out when
they're not on the road, company
owner Davtd Lusk said Tuesday.
"We're going to run it on a very
lirruted basis." Lusk said. "We'll hue
people back as soon as participauon
and blue-bagging increase."
Apple Valley offers recycling as a
free and voluntary service to its customers. But the company's regular
customer list is at an all-time low,
Lusk said, and less than ten percent
of the customers are recycling.
A report Lusk presented
Thursday, January 28, to the Johnson
County Solid Waste Commission
shows that Apple Valley has lost a
total of 1,141 customers since a
mandatory garbage ordinance was
passed in 199 I .
In 199 I, Apple Valle} had 5.500
customers, Lusk said. As of January
28, 4.432 people were signed up, but
that total will dwindle to 4,359
because 73 customers are behind m
their bills. he srud.
Low participation IS putung
Apple Valley in a "cash flow
crunch," Lusk said. noting that the
company presently has more than
$32,000 in unpaid garbage bills to
collect.
"Jobs have been affected tremendously," Lusk said.
Lusk said he blames low participation on lack of enforcement by
Johnson County officials. Since the
current fiscal court took office in
1994, 322 customers have either quit
the sen 1cc or been cut off by Apple
Valley because the:v d1dn 't pay their
b1ll~. according to Lusk's report.
Although the rccyclmg senice is
'oluntary. Lusk said he would get
better partiCipation 1f the county
would enforce the mandatory provision of the garbage ordinance.
Lusk also said that county officials
have not embraced the recycling program the way they should. He said be
has received good response from
Pamtsville officials, noting that
Mayor Robm Cooper. who is also
chairman of the solid waste commission, sent letters to city residents asking them to recycle.
"It's a question of leadership," be
said. "They ought to lead by example.''
While Lusk lays the blame on
county offic1als, fiscal court members
have said that Lusk has discouraged
participation by Implementing strict
payment and sign-up requirements.
The fiscal court last year delayed
action on a plan to enforce the orthnancc until they could meet with
Lusk and discuss rates and other
ISSUeS
Phase one of the plan began two
weeks ago with an advertising camprugn
The camprugn, sponsored by the
sohd waste comm1sston and funded
by the fiscal court, includes paid
advertiSements that will run in The
Paints\'lltt• Herald.
111e second phase of the plan will
be letters that will be sent to residents
who arc not signed up for garbage
servtce. The letters will gtve violator!> time to sign-up before they are
taken to court and ordered to participate.
Lusk said he Will wait until the
enforcement plan runs its course
before deciding what to do about the
recycling center.
''I'm going to do my best to keep
it open as long as I can," he satd.

Paintsville Lake made little waves in Governor Paul
Patton's proposed 1997-98 state budget, with Patton
not including the I 2-year-old facility on his list of top

Fonner Magoffin County schools Superintendent
Carter Whitaker has been permanently barred from
administrative jobs in the Magoffin schools system,
according to a state board vote Monday.
The Education Professional Standards Board also
suspended Whitaker's teaching certificate for 15 years
after it found the former superintendent guilty of 15
charges.
The board based its decision on a hearing officer's
115 page report that found Whitaker guilty of excessive
expenditures, failure to get board approval before
spending district money, and abuse of his position.
Whitaker resigned as superintendent in June of
1993. All five of the county's school board, who had
been charged with allowing Whitaker's abuses, also
resigned.
The board's action was brought when Whitaker was
hired as a math teacher after he resigned as superintendent. - Staff report

THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
- The owners of a new Chevron gas station in
O~khurst, Calif., received an official blessing by their
netghbor, Catholic Cardinal Roger M. Mahony of Los
Angeles, which included the pumps, a snack area and
an advertisement for Marlboros And earlier in the
month. Father Matvci of the Russian Orthodox Church
blessed the $30 million expansion of the Coca-Cola
e;>lant in Moscow.
-The New York Times reported 1n December that
a patent had recently hcen granted to Jeffrey Holden of
device is simply a face mask of a person holding open
a shutter or blind and peenng out. (The face appears to
have limited utility because, unlike lllne-controllcd
house lights, the face never moves until the owner
takes il down.)
In December, magazine salesman Samuel A.
Erby. 20. was charged in Euless, Texas, with assault
after he attacked an 88-year-old woman. reportedly
because she had just declined to buy a subscription
from him. And in June in Fort Collins, Colo., a
22-ycar-old man working tn hts yard suffered a s1m1lar
fate when he declined to buy a subscription from a
Denver salesman.
- In October, the Alexandria (La.) Daily Town
Talk reported that Sheriff B1ll Belt and Judge Michael
Johnson own telephone busmesses that give each a cut
every time prisoners in several local jails make calls
from pay phones According to the newspaper. the
judge made $85,000 from Avoyelles Parish jail calls
last year, and the sheriff has similar contracts with the
jails in seven panshes.
- Among products recently brought to market:
sandals, handbags and accessones under the A Bomb
label, from Tokyo's Mode et Jacomo (whose public
relations director said she thought "A Bomb." in
English, signified "cute"); the Peace Missile golf club
and companion putter, made from melted-down Soviet

never-used Kalkar, Germany, nuclear power plant
(with the cooling towers holding up the roller coaster);
the Navy Glory Center tribute to the Cold War in
Vladivostok, Russia (charging v1s1tors $700 to fire a
Soviet missile); and the Billie Sol Estes Museum in
Granbury. Texas, featuring papers and artifacts of the
notorious fertilizer-tank swindler of the 1960s.
- In October, a judge in Belfast. Northern Ireland,
rejected plans for a proposed restaurant called School
Dinners that would feature meals served by young
women in short skirts wielding wh1ps against patrons
who did not clean their plates. Though opponents
called the restaurant immoral, the judge said merely
that the mock spankings would constitute "entertainment," which is forbidden by the lease. Sa1d one disappointed supporter, "We have had 25 years [of

Poperri
by Scott Perry
Glad to see that our state legislature is
adding some restrictions to the bill that
will allow Kentuckians to carry concealed
weapons, including one stipulation that it
will be against the law to shoot your w ife
or husband with one.
The House committee reviewing the
new legislation tacked on that new restriction this week, prohibiting anyone with an
emergency protection order filed against
them from carrying a concealed weapon.
That means that violent couples will
have to keep their guns. knives, baseball
bats and even fists right out in the open
where their, urn, sparring partners can see
them, or they'll be in big trouble with the
law.
There are some other peculiar aspects
of the law, including some fine print in its
ban of concealed weapons on school
grounds.
That prohibition applies to everyone
...except people who have the permission
of the school board to carry concealed
weapons.
It's not that we don't trust school
boards to properly administer the law, it's
just that we don't see any logical reason
for providing that loophole.
Police and security personnel usually
carry their weapons out in plain sight, so
why would anyone else need to pack a
concealed weapon anywhere near a
school?
At any rate, proponents of the new law
suggest that it will serve as a deterrent to
crime and they offer statistics from other
states to back up their claims.
But we don't see why Kentucky has to
do it just because other states do.
In fact we think Kentucky ought to set
an example for other states and make
everybody carry their guns out in the
open.
At least that way we'd know who was
armed and who wasn't, which would certainly prove to be a greater deterrent to
violent crime and cut down on the number
of accidental shootings that, no doubt,
will result from instances w hen people
shoot first in alleged self-defense and ask
questions later about whether or not their
victims were also armed.
If possession of a gun by law-abiding
citizens is. in fact, a way to reduce violence, let's carry them out in plain sight
and really make a showing.
Besides. that's already legal. isn't it?

12 Monkeys
The concept of ttme travel has spawned more than
its fair share of movies, books, and TV series. In fact,
it has even cropped up on such diverse shows as
"Star Trek" and "Bewttched." This movie is yet
another rendering.
Bruce Willis portrays a man named Cole, a prisoner of the state in Philadelphia. The year is 2035
and a mysterious plague is destroying nine out of 10
people it hits. Fortunately, scientists narrow down the
onset of the plague to the year 1996 in, of course,
Philadelphia.
In order to combat it. time travel is mastered and
Cole is chosen to be sent back to 1996 to gain whatever information he can to help the future scientists
come up with a cure. As 1s the usual case with this
time-travel thing, Cole is not to alter any events.
Brad Pitt is Jeffrey Goines, a fanatic whose father
is a brilliant scientist (portrayed by Chnstopher
Plummer). Jeffrey becomes the head of the 12
Monkeys gang, which is set to plant a manmade
super virus during an animal-rights protest against a
lab which does tests on animals.
Poor Cole. When first he "lands," it's 1990 due to
an unfortunate miscalculation in the time travel
mechanism. Promptly declared msane, he wmds up
in an institution. The time machine rescues htm and
places him in I 996, where he should be. However.
now he's being hunted as that escaped lunatic from
1990! The only person who seems to believe Cole is
telling the truth is Madeleine Stowe. cast as the love
interest.
Pitt IS brilliant as the crazy Jeffrey. Unfortunately.
Willis just doesn't deliver. It's as if he merely walked
through this flick as it was being shot.
All in all, I'd gtvc it a t\.\O-star rating. However. if
you're fascinated w1th the 1dea of time travel, you
might want ro check this one out.

NATASHA'S STARS
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Early in the week, a friend comes to
you with a secret to share.
However, thi!> becomes a comph·
cated bsuc as the week wears on,
makmg you somewhat uncomfortable. Spend ume this weekend on
an unfim~hed ta.'k
TAURUS (Apnl 20 to May 20}
lt's a great umc to sec and be seen,
particularly
wtth
relatives.
However, some extra expenses arc
posstblc, parttcularly where travel
is concerned. This weekend, you
are confused by a problem on the
domesttc scene.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
You're too impatient this week for
your OY..n good. Remember. you
can't accomplish everything you
want all at once. Slow do\\ n and
get the job done right. A family
member disagrees with you over a
career concern, but you must persevere.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Your pride can sometimes get in the
way of you getting the job done.
It's okay to ask for help if you need
it. A financtal proposition made by
a partner needs more delving into
before comtng to any sort of a dcciston.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) You
have the urge early in the week to
get off by yourself and just dream.
If possible, take some time off and
indulge. The inspiration you
receive as a result of your little
respite is well worth it.
VIRGO (August 23
to
September 22) Not everything is
Cr)'stal-clear this week concemmg
a job worry There's more going on
behtnd the scenes than you think. A
co-worker holds the key to all thts,
so start asking questions. Approach
romance with a clear head.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) The beginning of the
week is marred by peuy bickering
with a family member. However,
peacemaker that you arc, all ends
well by midweek. In romance. it's
best to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Partners need to
make some decisions regarding the
use of joint assets, particularly any
savings. Your instincts about a certatn co-worker's veracity are on the
mark. This person not only exag·
gerates, but flat-out lies.
SAGIITARIUS (November 22
to December 21) A friend is a bit
too demanding of your time now.
You need to set this person stra1ght.
Later in the week. you'll treasure
extra time for yourself. TJus weekend, a family member has a tendency to get on your nerves.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) You're just not 1n the
mood this week to keep your nose
to the grindstone. Instead. you want
to ktck up your heels and have
some fun. However, it must be
work first and social hfe second to
avoid problems with bigY..tgs.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) A business associate
has some useful information concerning a situation at work. On the
home front, you are right to suspect
that a family member tsn't giving
you the whole story. Do some furtht:r investigating.
PISCES (February I 9 to March
20) It's a week when you won't be
in any mood for crowds. You deal
better now one-on-one and should
keep it that way. A business propo·
sition is not what it appears to be.
However, you quickly recognize
thts.
HOME TIPS
DAILY MEDICATIONS-I
have a good up for people on med·
ication .
List all medications on a recipe
card, include the dosage and how
often taken. Put thls in a plastic
sleeve and tape it inside the medicine cabinet. Be sure to include any
over-the-counter medications.
If you have to call an ambulance,
you can't always remember. Rita Y.•
Hettinger, N.D.
SHORT CUT-After preparing
a cooked frosung on the stove top,
my recipe instructed me to remove it
from the heat and beat. It was so hot,
it wasn't comtng up to frosting con·

my home. Kathy M., Bethesda, Md
FROZEN SOLID-When you
buy frozen shredded potatoes and
you get them home to find them
frozen into a solid lump. don't pantc.
Dump the mass into a colander
and run cold water over them. They
separate quickly. Drain, pat dry
between paper towels and cook.
Sure saves hitting the package on
the counter. It works great with
frozen veggies also. Betty H., Terra

STAINED HANDLES-I had
an awful-looking cooking utenstl set
hanging on display. They had been
put tn the dishwasher repeatedly, and
the wooden handles had become discolored

DIAL TONES: On February
18, The Family Channel airs "The
Night of the Twisters," starring
John Schneider in a story about
how a family bonds together to survive a series of killer tornadoes
that strike during one terrifying
night.
J.T. Walsh, who stars in an NBC
pilot called "Dark Skies" (it's all
UFOs!)
and
in
about
SHOWTIME's upcoming production. "Phantom" with Mario van
Peebles, was asked how he honed
his
performance
as
John
Ehrlichman in the film, "Nixon."
Walsh said that unlike the time he
played Bob Woodward and met the
man himself, this time he chose to
"take Ehrlichman off the page" and
watched tapes of interviews the
former White House staffer gave
over the years. He also keyed in on
Ehrlichman's Christian Science
faith to try to "explain his conflicts."
Among the 13 awards given was

Migraine
Impacts Marital
Relationships
(NAPS)-A new national survey shows that
the pain and pressure of
migraine headache not
only affects the lifestyle of
sufferers, but also their
non-sufferer
spouses.
Almost one in three sufferers surveyed reported
that their migraine had an
impact or played a con·
tributing role in their personal relationship with a
spouse or partner.
ln the survey. conducted
by Opmton Research
Corporation of Princeton.
NJ for Glaxo Wellcome
Inc., sufferers and their
non-sufferer
spouses
responded similarly (24
percent and 23 percent
respectively) when asked
1f migraine has had an
effect on the frequency
and quality of sexual relalions
Of the 27 percent of
spouses who reported that
migraine attacks cause
tension in their relationship with the sufferer, 34
percent reported that the
tension is serious.
More than one in three
(36 percent) spouses
reported feeling frustrated
when their spouse cannot
participate in activities
during a migraine. More
than half (57 percent) of
non-sufferer
spouses
reported that social activities
were commonly
delayed or postponed due
to migraine includmg
plans to entertain family,
friends or colleagues (32
percent).
Nine in ten non-sufferer

they were the primary
support to assume household responsibilities during a migraine attack, and
more than half (56 percent) of spouses reported
that they avoid or keep
their distance from the
sufferer dunng a migraine.
Seventy-two percent of
spouses reported that they
are fatrly to very concerned
about
their
spouse's migraine attacks.
One
non-sufferer
spouse, when asked to
describe an example of an
experience
that
best
describes the impact of
migraine on his marriage,
and how it made him feel
said, "The wait in the
emergency room ..,leaving
work to gel to the emergency room. ll makes me
feel a lot of anxiety and
some fear."
For married couples, at
least, migraine is indeed a
headache. If you have
headaches and suspect
they may be migra~ne, seelf
your physician for an
appropriate diagnosis and
treatment program-because your family may be
suffering as much as you
