Snack vendor
leaves bad taste
by Willie EUiott
Staff Writer
In a special-called meeting
Thursday night at Adams Middle
School, the Floyd County Board oi
Education dealt with the sale of
snacks at schools, set the stage for
activating the long-range planning
committee (LPC) and took the first
step in hiring a consulting finn to
assist in selecting a new superintendent.
The board terminated the contract with Coal Country Snack
Foods because many schools have
apparently experienced delays and
irregularities in service and payments.
The original bid from Coal
Country Snacks offered 25 percent
of the invoke price, .while the bid
from Lance offered 22 percent of
gross retail collections. At the last
board meeting, representatives
from Lance pointed out that the
school system would realize more
revenue from the Lance bid.
Correspondence from several
schools indicates that the schools
have had problems with service
and commissions from Coal
Country Snack Foods.
Problems memioned in the
memos include machines not being
filled timely or fully; commissions
from the sale!. oeing late, wlth
some schools as much as four
months behind on receipts; payments received with no documentation to verify concession revenue;
and two checks charged back to the
district due to insufficient funds.
The central office and schools
have apparently had a difficult time
contacting Coal Country Snack
Foods, and the vendor has not
returned many telephone inquiries
from the central office and schools.
the board learned.
A memo to the board dated
January 28, 1999. from Gwen
Harmon, principal at Prestonsburg
Elementary. reads: "This memo is
to inform you of non-payment from
Tom's Snack Company (parent
company of Coal Country Snack
Foods). We have not received a
commission check since November

Some Martin residents who

According to Jim Kelly. district

duplicate checks are being mailed

office in Frankfon.
On Febroary I, Hale took the
position of Cabinet Liaison in
Gov. Paul Patton's Office of
Constituent Services.
Hale, who is from Blue
River, is one of six liaisons
who serve "basically as the
eyes and ears of the governor" in counties throughout
the commonwealth. Hale
said he was hired to cover a
territory of about 20 counties in eastern and nonheastem Kentucky, listening
to citizens and "getting their
message to the govemor,"
as well as to Patton's cabinet secretaries.
During his first week on
the job, Hale said he attended a meeting of the Coal
Counties Coalition and
accompanied the governor
on a trip to Clark County to
discuss an industrial project. He added he responded
to "a lot of phone calls."
One of Hale's duties will
be to serve as Patton's personal aide on governmental
issues when they travel in
the designated counties.

other area post offices found that
most checks were on time with only
a few delayed checks that have

Kelly said his oftice began getting calls on the matter as early as
Febroary 4. He said he and staff
members worked on Saturday so
the information could be relayed to
the Social Security Adminisu·ation
early Monday morning.
Kelly said recipients may end up
getting both checks. but he added it
1s important that one of the checks
be returned. If both checks are
cashed, future payments will be

A fire at McDowell on Middle Branch Road (Royal Hollow) Saturday destroyed the home of Susie Knott
and her son Larry. The blaze occurred about 10 p.m. at the residence on Royal Hollow. The Knotts lost all
belongings except a few clothes, but there were no injuries. Left Beaver Fire Department units one and
two responded to the call. The Knotts had just remodeled the home and had no insurance. The fire may
have been caused by a fireplace, but the cause is still under investigation, according to a spokesman for

Residents of David have about
three weeks to decide whether to
tum their sewer system over to
Prestonsburg Utilities or to continue
to maintain it themselves.
About IS residents, including the
board of the David Community
Development Corporation (DCDC).
met last Thursday at The David
School to discuss the matter with
Seldon
Horne,
director
of
Prestonsburg Utilit1es.
If the utility takes over the system. it opens up opportunities to tap
on for homeowners along a six-mile
stretch from the junction of KY 114
up KY 404 to David. Horne said.
It would also relieve the DCDC
of the responsibility of maintaining
an old and environmentally inade-
quare sewage treatment pJant.
What concerned some of the residents at the Thursday meeting.
however. was the fact that if
Prestonsburg Utilities takes over
their system. sewer bills, which arc
now 70 percent of water rates.
would jump to 100 percent Thus, if
a resident's water bill is $15. the
sewer bill will also be $15.
Home said the equal ratio would
remain ot least until the lines are
installed along KY 404 and a pump
station added at the head of the line
at David. He estimated that if grams
to do tl1e work were forthcoming. it
would take at least two years to
complete the project.
Asked why David residents
would have to pay more than those
who live in Prestonsburg. !lome
explained that it costs more to pnrnp
the sewerage over the distance
Gloria Shepherd, DCDC secretary. reminded those attending the
meeting that a Public Service
Commission audit four years ago
recommended an increase in sewer
rates.
A grant to make improvements
to the community's current system
has been approved. but some regard
the plan as a Band-Aid measure.
"The upkeep of the present system is going to get beyond us." said
Betty Cavins. a member of the
DCDC board.
Jackie Howard, DCDC board
chairman, agreed. "We can put
money in and several years down
the road, we will need to do it
again."

25, 1998. I have left several messages with the company regarding
this matter."
A worse case scenario was presented by Clark Elementary
Principal Wayne Combs: "This is a
copy of a check we received from
Tom's for November. Besides the
fact that the check should be for a lot
more than it is written, it bounced. It
was no good.
"I just thought I'd give you an
example of what kind of company
we arc dealing with. They are making a fortune off our schools and
they don't even have enough money
in the bank to cover their own
checks."
Board member Carol Stumbo
asked if the board had erred in
choosing Coal Country Snack
Foods in the first place. Board
chairman Terry Dotson said recent
clarification by Lance did indicate
that the board had not chosen the
best bid.
Board member Jody Mullins
asked if the system would have to
rebid for snacks and wondered if
there would be a break in service.
Board member Johnnie Ross asked
about the legality of breaking the
contract.
Board attorney Mike Schmitt
said the vendor had broken the contract by its actions. He said the
board had other options, but the best
course would be to rebid the whole
snack package.
Carter said there would be a
break in service, but he thought the
bids could be taken and ready for
the board to make a decision by the
next meeting which will be
February 23.
Concerning planning. Interim
Superintendent Woodrow Arnold
Carter reported to the board that the
members of the old LPC had been
telephoned and invited to remain on
the committee. Most, he said, have
agreed to serve.
Carter srud he would have the
central office have all positions
filled by today. Carter said the district was in non-compliance, since
this committee has not been active
for some time.
The committee will meet with
Mark Ryles from Assoctate
Commissioner of Education Tom
Willis' office and retired educator
Jack Waff tonight to get information
as to the direction the committl!c
should take.
Carter said the memhers would
have a copy of "Best Practices," a
booklet provided by Willis.
Carter said the LPC would be
involved with the building of the
athletic complexes at Prestonsburg
and South Floyd high schools. Ross
wanted to know what connectton the
LPC had with these projects when
the legislature has taken the matter
out of the board's hands.
Mullins asked if the LPC could
change the priority list that has
already been approved and is filed
in Frankfort.
Both Carter and
Dotson
explained that the old plan would be
a starting point, but there would be
changes because some high priority
items would be changed because of
consolidation.
Stumbo said the board could
either redo or amend the old plan,
and Carter needed to furnish the
board with additional information so
the board can make the best decision.
Stumbo said it is important to
include the two athletic complexes
in the plan, even though much of the
decision-making has been done by
the leg1slature. Stumbo said this
would allow the board to follow the
proper guidelines after the athletic
complexes have been completed.
Carter told Ross that the central
office would be one of the things the
l.J'C would consider as part of its
work.
Mullins said he would support
the make up of the LPC as long as
each school district is represented
equally. Carter said he thought
Mullins would be satisfied with the
make up of the committee.
In regard to the search for a permanent superintendent, the board
agreed to invite three organizations
to present 30-minute presentations
to the board on selecting a new
superintendent. The board will
choose one of these to asstst them in
selecting the next superintendent.
The group includes Hazard,
Young, Attea, and Associates from
Glenview, 111.; The Birchet Group
Ltd. from Glen Ellyn, Ill.; and the
Kentucky
School
Boards
Association from Frankfort. Mullins

faculty and staff, "Please understand that KCTCS has accused no
one of wrong doing. To the contrary, the purpose of the audit ... is
to determine the facts so that we can
rectify the situation."
Newberry continued, "The purpose of the reassignment with pay
and the leave with pay is to ensure
due process to the individuals and
provide every opportunity to
resolve these concerns."
Neither
Newberry
nor
Armstrong would say what was
meant by the "elements of fiscal
management." and Floyd was said
to be in Lexington yesterday.
However, Music said she was
being accused of putting "testing
fees in my personal account." She
has for many years been in charge
of administering various tests at the
college.
"I've never been through anything like this," Music said yesterday from her home. "It's about to
kill me. I am not guilty of doing
anythmg wrong."
After serving as acting dean of
student affairs for five years, Music
was passed over for the permanent
position in 1997 in favor of Sandra
Kaikumba, who now serves as dean
and was apparently one of two persons who signed affidavits accusing
Music of misusing funds. The other
complainant, Denise Atkinson,
works in the student affairs office.
Music said she filed a lawsuit
against Floyd in November of 1997.
She alleged she had been denied the
permanent position of student
affairs dean because of discrimination against her based on her disability. She suffers from kidney disease and receives regular dialysis

Music said her attorneys have
already taken depositions from several college faculty and staff members, including Herald. and are
scheduled to interview Aoyd and
Newberry on March 8.
Herald, also contacted at home
yesterday, said, "I have worked at
PCC for 28 years and this is the first
complaint that has ever been made
against me by anyone."
The dean added. "l reel this is
retaliatory because r have not

divert attention from impending

several employees against her."
He would not elaborate, but he
did say that information on the
complaints would come to light

declared the central office property

sold to a local group, Prestonsburg
Industrial Corporation. Carter said
the board was under the impress10n
the central office property had been
declared surplus in 1993, but the
board minutes do not reflect that.
The board again declared the property surplus and accepted the bid
from the local group.
Carter said he has written a letter
to the Kentucky Department of
Education explaining the situation.

need." Bailey, who is a former environmental inspector with the Floyd
County Health Department. indicated that the plant could probably
')face fines from the Environmental
Protection Agency if corrections
arc not made soon. "If we don't do
something, they are going to get
us," he said.
DCDC board member Vertis
Pitts added that the community corporation has neither the equipment
nor the manpower to correct major
problems. Pitts said that some of
the old sewer lines in Official
Hollow arc 15 to 16 feet deep and
difficult to deal with.
"Not one of us wants to pay

Greene. "But we are looking at a

we would have to raise rates to

In response to residents' questions.
Horne
assured
that
Prestonsburg Utilities would maintain the lines and that persons who

Postal Service delivers I 0,263 regular social security checks and 3,275
SSI checks each month in Floyd
County -generating $7 million for
~the local economy.
Kelly said the Social Security
Administration began last year to
spread the payments out over the
month, so they are not all in the mail
at the same time. Recipients who
became eligible after May I of last
year get checks based on the following birth dates for all months.
• Those born from the first to
1Oth day of any month get checks
on the second Wednesday.
• Those born from the II th to the
20th of any month get checks on the
fthird Wednesday
• Those born from the 21st to the
31st of any month get checks on the
fourth Wednesday.
These dates apply only to those
people who became eligible on or
after May of last year. All others get
checks on the traditional days SSI checks on the first of the month,
and regular social security checks
on the third of the month.
Kelly said his office will call the
people in Martin the next few days
to see that the new checks had
arrived. He said his office realizes
how important it is for these people
to get their checks on time.
He said if the delay caused'.hardships in paymg certam bills. his
office would contact the businesses
and verify that the checks were late

MAVBE IT'S TIM& WE
TIED SOME BED SHEETS
TOGETWEA AND CLIMBED
OUT 01= A WINDOW...
Much to-do was made over his ethnic background when
Pope John Paul was tapped to head the worldwide Roman
Catholic Church. He was Polish in a long tradition of Italian
prelates.
Comparisons could be made even then. As a Pole, he had
to accept a barrage of "dumb Pollock" jokes, just as we in
eastern Kentucky have had to live with more than our share of
tired stories about "ignorant hillbillies" or "briarhoppers."
With little reason.
Poles over the centuries have been
ridiculed and made to
feel inferior to other
Europeans. Likewise,
those of us from Appalachian stock have
been regarded for
about the last century
and a half by other Americans as if we were throwbacks to
prehistoric. subhuman creatures.
Now. we discover further similarity.
A few weeks ago when the pope was in this country, he intervened on behalf of convicted killer Darrell Mease, who was
scheduled to be executed this month in Missouri. Mease, apparently angered over a drug-making business gone bad, in
1988 laid wait on his former partner and killed him. his wife
and their gr.mdson. A jury handed Mease the death penalty.
The pope, along with many other religious leaders and followers -as well as some folks who don't claim to be particularly religious - does not believe in the eye-for-an-eye
school of punishment. Fact is, he has spoken out against capital punishment time and again.
While visiting St. Louis. the pope reportedly asked Missouri Gov. Mel Carnahan for clemency for Mease, and the
next day Carnahan commuted Mease's death penalty to life
imprisonment.
What's bothersome and what ties the incident to these parts
is that once again it all comes down to who you know. Precedent, laws, rules and regulations- none of those things apply
if you have the blessing of the big dudes.
The issue is not whether the death penalty is wrong or
right. We could debate all day and all night. citing the Bible
and renown philosophers on both sides. The issue, rather, is
how do you pick who lives. Either the death penalty applies to
everyone on death row, or you change the law and no prisoner dies.
Gov. Carnahan made the decision because no less a personage than the Pope, with a capital P, asked him. Will he
commute the sentence of the next person on death row, who is
scheduled to die in a couple of weeks, because that man's
mother asks him, or a Hohness or a Presbyterian preacher asks
him, or the president of a large corporation asks him, or on
and on?
Course, this is not an issue that should shock any of us.
Most of us know how the system works. It all boils down to
who you know.

I have to admit that I have had my
share of gettmg the words to a song
wrong. I think most of us at one time of
another have botched the words and
come up with something silly.
The trouble is that once you get a
mistaken notion of what the song is saying, it's hard to hear what is really going
on.
I think we should collect them and get
a laugh from them. Below are some classics that I have collected from others or
have personally misunderstood.
When I heard the song "More Than a
Woman," it sounded for all the world
like "Bald Headed Woman." Now, I
know that makes no sense whatsoever,
but that is the way I sang the song. Linda
always got a kick out of "Bald Headed
Woman." She laughed right in my face
about that one.
You know when Jimmy Buffett lost
his shaker of ~alt in Margaritaville. It
sounded to me as if he were saying
"sugar re tau." What is a sugar re tau?
Don't ask me, but I went ahead singing
" ... lost my sugar re tau."
After someone laughed his head off at
me and said it was shaker of salt, I could
hear it clear as a bell.
U nfortunately we can't have a person
following us around all day deciphering
popular songs for us.
Several people have told me that the
Credence Clearwater song "Bad Moon
on the Rise" is sung to the words of
"bathroom on the right."
When Ryan was little, he always sang
"Bombs in the USA" for Springsteen's
"Born in the USA," and one of his classmates sang "Every time you leave. you
take a piece of meat" instead of "every
time you leave you take a piece of me.''
You remember when Lucille left
Kenny Rogers with four hungry children. Well, Steve Reid of Price sang
"four hundred children." We got a
chuckle out of that and told Steve if that
were the case. there was Jinle wonder
Lucille left him.
Jen Kendrick, of Classifieds here at
the Times, said when she heard "My
Maria," she thought the singer was
singing "my burrito." Now, that could
be the name of a song for the little Chihuahua of Taco Bell. I look for that to
turn up in a commercial.
Phil Paige's brother Wendell was listening to a song that had the lines "eyes
without a face," and he told Phil the
song made no sense. He thought the
artist was saying, ''I'll supply the fish."
Keith Smallwood, who remembers
more songs and artists than any one I
know. supplied these two: "Please excuse me while 1 k1ss the sky" is often
sung "Please excuse me while I kiss this
guy." Keith also says the singer of "In a
Gadda Da Vida" was supposed to sing
"I n the Garden of Eden" and his state of
inebriation prevented him from doing
so.
Have you been guilty of any of these?
• "Donuts make my brown eyes blue"
for "Don't it make my brown eyes blue;"
• "I wanna know have you ever seen
Lorraine" for " I wanna know huve you
ever seen the rain?:" or
• "Only the good Tyrone" for "Only
the good die young."
Now it's your turn. What hnes or
words have you added to songs? I kUO\\<
you do it - now 'fcss up and tell us
about them.

un h"r Birthday, 1-'tb. 9
God first breaks those he would exalt
Clergy come from eve!) imaginable background and personality
t)pc.
Some arc educated and some
ignorant. Some are Methodists and
some Catholics. Some lead huge
congregations and some preach in
backwater clapboard churches.
But nearly all the ones who arc
truly effective over the long haul, the
ones through whom God's glory and
power clearly radiate. do share one
common trait.
They're the humblest humans
you 'II ever encounter.
No, really, they're beyond humble. They're shattered.
They're so wracked by insccunty that, while they may thunder once
they're in the pulpit, it almo!>t takes
a supernatural shove from the
Almighty to get them there.
The) '\e come face to face over and again - with their own
inadequacies.
For instance. I've got a friend
named John, who's a prophet.
He live~ in Nashville, but he can
walk cold into a congregation of
strangers in Kentucky and prophesy
individually over everyone in the
sanctuary.
At times it's almost like watching
Elijah at work.
You almost have to witness it to
believe it, and the first time or two
you sec it you still might not believe
it ... until John prophesie!i to you.
He 'II reveal secrets of) our heart
that your wife docsn 't know, and do
it without asking any questions
beforehand, without a clue as to \\ ho
you are.
Trust me. Skeptical journalist
that I am, I've monitored him.
'nu.:rc\ no trickel)' imolvcd. He
doesn't have an entourage or an
assistant or a radio receiver in his
car.
I've heard him tell friends of
mine, people who absolutely haven't
met John beforehand, that, say, they
grew up as the middle child of five
in a troubled family in which their
father was an alcoholic, and that as a
re~ult they've always
found it difficult to
relate to God ns a loving Father.
I'' e ~een people
burst into sobs of
astonishment us John
prophesied to them.
I've seen a few just
keel over.
Then John will tell
them nbout God's love
for them and what
God's about to do in
their lives. Specific
things. often with
dates included.
He'll say something like this:
"You've strugglt:d financially. too,
but that's over now. Within two
month' you'll get a call from a businessman you've never met. offering
you the best job you've ever had, in
a ticld you'\e never worked in.
That's how you'll know that God
sent the job to you. When the call
come~. give Jesu<> the glory."
I've had many people say to me.
weeh after the fact, "You ~no\\,
C\'CI)' last thing that man told me
would happen has come to pas~, just
exactly as he 'aid.''
John never a~ks for a fre. lie's
unfailingly patient and gentle.
And he has no confidence in him·
self.
Long ago he ww; a top tigure in a
well-known international ministry. lt
collapsed. largely. he'.., said, lx•cause
he and other leaders got caught up in
their own egos.
He then spent
years as the pastor
of an obscure Ohio
congregation
of
about 35 people. It
folded due to the
parishioners' lack
of interest.
Kow
John
SCT\'es on the StatT
of another ministry
that hardly pays
him anything. He'~
alwuys strapped for
money. Just buying
food for his family
takes miracles.
My estimation is that John view!>
himself as a failure rnore than as a
prophet.
While he's prophesying. he'll
oflen stop and address the crowd
ncr\'ously: ''Am I on turget'! If I'm
missing it, tell me. I could be
wrong.''
In that regard he'-. like most of
the other truly anomtcd men and
women I've met.
"They trust God: the) don't tru't
They minister in fear
&ntltrembling.
Which is c\actly the condition in
which God ~ecms to want them.
That way, whenever anything
good docs get accomplished through
them, everyone recognizes that God
did it.
• God fiN breaks those He would
exalt.
So never trust any preacher who
think' he's God's man for the hour.
Hut the ones who know in the pit
ut' their soul that they're Joo;er~. who
can baret) look you in the eye a!.
they minister to you - those you
gcnl!rally can tru,t,

PCC gets
approval for
new program
~
by Pam Shingler
Editor
Prestonsburg
Community
College has received the go-ahead
to offer a new degree program in
human services.
The Kentucky Council on
Postsecondary Education approved
the academic offering last week. The
program will lead to the Associate in
Applied Science in Human
Services.
Tite program ''will prepare people for entry-level posiuons in agen·
.-.; cies and institutions that provide
social, community, education and
mental health services," according
to a news release from the Kentucky
Community and Thchnicul College
System.
In offering the human services
degree, PCC will cooperate with
Hazard Community College and
wtth Mayo Technical College in
Paintsville.
The two community colleges will
share faculty, coordinate courses
and schedules, and use distance
~ learning to present some of the
classes. Mayo's child care center
will serve as a pmcticum site. particularly for students interested in community and family services.
Students pursuing the new associate degree may take courses relating to developmental disabilities.
gerontology, corrections, and community and fan1ily services.
The program summary says
graduates will be prepared for jobs
in child care facilities, mental health
settings, chemical dependency set·
~tings, hospitals, educational institutions, correctional facilities, geriatric settings, child/youth centers,
and social service agencies.
According to the proposal. college officials are also working with
Morehead State University so that
graduates of the PCC program can
easily move into bachelor's degree
programs in social work or sociologyatMSU.
The local college has already
developed a two-plus-two agreement in which students follow the
human services curriculum at PCC
·~nd then transfer to Eastern
Kentucky University in Rkhmond
to complete a baccalaureate degree
in corrections and juvenile services,
according to the proposal narrative.
In its rationale. the college cites a
1996-97 Employer Needs Survey
which indicated that between 50 and
60 full-time positions in human services are open in the area annually.
The number of positions in corrections IS expected to JUmp to more
than 300 in the next year or two.

Proclamation honors 20 years
of special needs adoptions
ln the 20 years since its inception. Kentucky's Specwl Needs
Adoption Program has placed more
than 1,800 children in permanent
homes.
A proclamation signed recently
by Gov. Paul Patton recognizes the
important role the SNAP program
has had an ensuring stability for
childrl.'n who otherwise would not
have a healthy. loving environment
in which to grow and prosper.
"We can do no greater good than
to care for our children,'' Gov.
Patton said. "Nurturing families are
critical, not only for the appropriate
development of the individual
child, but for a strong and productive society. The Special needs
Adoption Program, together with
the families who have used it to
adopt children. helps us achieve
both goals."
The governor proclaimed the
year 1999 "for recognition and celebration of 20 years of Special
Needs Adoption in Kentucky."
At any given time. about 300
Kentucky children are living in foster homes, group homes and other
facilitie!> awaiting pla~ment in a
permanent home through SNAP.
Mo~t have been removed from their
biological parents' homes because
of abuse or neglect; a court then terminated their parents' rights. allowing them to become available for
adoption.
In other cases. parents voluntarily tenninated their rights to the chi I·
drl!n bccau~e they were unable to
care for their medical or physical
needs.
The SNAP program was created
in 1979 and is administered by the
Cabinet for Families and Children.
"Special Needs Adoptions" refers
to children who are older than those
typically available through privateagency adoption. minority children,
those with physical or medical challenges, or children in large siblings
groups.
Cabinet Secretary Viola Miller
said, ''These children remind us
how important it is to continually
strive to improve their lives by find·
ing them a pem1anent home with a
loving family."
Miller said the federal Adoption
and Safe Families Act of 1997 and
legislation passed by the 1998
Kentucky General Assembly both
contain provisions designed to
speed up the termination of parental
rights in abuse cases and to streamline the adoption process. These
changes mean that even more children will become available through
SNAP.
SNAP is always looking for
adoptive parents. including single
parents. There is no adoption fee,
you don't haw to meet specific
tinancial criteria, and you don't
have to own your home to adopt In
fact. financial assistance may be
available.
Anyone interested in adopting a
child through the SNAP program
should call toll free 800-432-9346.
titlec; and numbers. "The collaborative program will bencfit students
because they will be able to transfer
credits for coursework between
institutions if necessary," said Dr.
Michael Moore. MSU's executive
vice president for academic affairs.
"This program is also readymade to become a part of the
Commonwealth's
Virtual
University because the course numbers are basically the same," said
Dr. Hruty. "That increases accessi
bility to students and frequency of
course scheduling.
''Coursework and curriculum
will have greater linkages with the
Kentucky Education Reform Act
and many other elements of school
reform, including field experience!>.
By shadowing administrators. it
will expose graduate students to
environments which are more culturally diverse," said Harty.
The new degree offering will
greatly benefit the counties in
MSU's service region. "There is
gomg to be a substantial number of
principals retiring in the next three
to five years." said Dr. Victor
Ballestero, assistant professor of
education. who has worked extensively on the collaborative planning
for the program.
'"We need to be preparing principals who will lead Kentucky
schools into the next century. We
are offering more courses in towns
throughout the service region such
as Jackson. Pikeville, Prestonsburg
and Ashland," he said.
In Carter County. school superintendent Larry Pritchard estimates
that he will lose 12 administrator~
within the next four years. As a
result, MSU 1s planning to offer a
leadership semmar in that county
for 10 to 15 classroom teachers who
have expressed interest in school
administration.
"Students in the seminar will
receive three credit hours with
tuition probably paid by the county
school system." Dr. Ballestero said.
"We arc looking at the shortage and
collaborating with the superintendent to prepare qualified administrators to fill those positions." he
added.

Steamrollering Blackcats
win eighth straight game
Leslie, Keathley combine in 64-53 win over Hornets
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
What's that saying? "When you're hot, you're hot,
when you're not, you're not."
Well. coach Jackie Pack and the Prestonsburg
Blackcats certainly are as they won their eighth consecutive game with a 64-53 win over a good Magoffin
County team this past Saturday night in front of a large
Senior Night crowd.
But eight straight wins for Coach Pack's club is not
unusual this time of year. Traditionally, a slow starting
team, the Blackcats always pick up steam toward tournament time and that is what they have done this year.
The Cats are perhaps playing their best basketball
of the season, having not lost since they fell to Hazard
in the WYMT Classic back in mid January.
Prestonsburg has their sights set on a fourth coo·
secutive 58th District title, something no team has ever done in
Prestonsburg's
the county.

Robbins finished with 10 points.
The first two quarters belonged to the Hornets as
they led 14-1 1 at the first stop and took a 26-22 lead to
the locker room at the half. Leslie scored six of the 11
Prestonsburg points in the first quarter. Russ Music
kept the Blackcats close with a three-pointer with 53
seconds left for a 12-1 I game. A Jason Helton lay-in
gave the Hornets the three point lead at the first stop.
Keathley took charge for Prestonsburg in the second period, keeping the Cats within striking distance
of the Hornets. He buried a three-point basket and
scored five points in the quarter when the Cats struggled from the floor.
John Ortega, playing his final game in the
Prestonsburg Fieldhouse, missed some easy layups, as
he finished with two points for the game. But his floor
leadership at the point, was invaluable. In the third
quarter; it was Leslie, then Keathley, then Leslie that
propelled the Blackcats as they rallied from behind to
take the lead.
Leslie moved inside for ao easy two for a two point
game. Keathley and Leslie completed back-to-back
old-fashioned three-point plays that cut an eight point
Magoffin County lead to one. Keathley hit a jumper
and two free throws as the Blackcats hung within one
point of the Hornets.
With .2:20 to play in the third period, Coach Pack
inserted Seth Crisp and he immediately hit a trey that
tied the game at 37. The big basket sparked the
Blackcats. Leslie hit a base line jumper from four-feet
out and, with one second left, Leslie hit a rare threepointer that gave Prestonsburg a 42-37 lead.
Prestonsburg went the last five minutes of the
fourtlt quarter with just one field goal. But Keathley
scored early in the fourth to give the Blackcats a 47-41

That was the last time (1993-94) a
Betsy Layne Lady Cat basketball
team posted a win over dominating
Allen Central. That defeat came in
February of 1994 when the Lady Cats
won 61-56 and went undefeated in
conference play. That was also the
year the Lady Cats went to the Sweet
Sixteen.
This past Friday night, Allen
Central (12-8) fans were in shock as
they watched the Lady Rebels drop a
73-64 decision to Betsy Layne (8-8)
in a not-so-important conference
game. Allen Central had already
•1wrapped another conference championship and suffered its first conference loss in four years.
"We just didn't execute well on
offense," said Allen Central coach
Anthony Moore.
"It was a big win for us," said
Betsy Layne coach Cassandra Akers.

Allen Central senior forward
Jesse Hall played football. He quarterbacked the Rebels football team
last season, and it was a good thing
for the Rebs because Friday night
Hall took the conference game
between Allen Central and the
Bobcats and placed it on his broad
shoulders, spoiling an upset bid by
the Bobcats in a 73-67 win.
Allen Central went to 6-1 in the
Floyd County Conference and 19-5
overall. Betsy Layne fell to 6-13
overall and dropped to 2-6 in the conference to finish fourth in the race.
Betsy Layne gave the Rebels,
who had over a week off, all they
wanted from the stan of the game.
Hall took charge of the game inside
the final five minutes when Betsy
Layne held a slim 59-56 lead. Hall

Kentucky coach Tubby Smith
says the Wildcats are reaching
for straws and the scene at UK
could be panic time, especially
after the Cats dropped a big SEC
game to lowly Alabama this past
Saturday.
The Crimson Tide, losers of
nine of their last 11 games
before facing the Wildcats,
looked to be the best team even
without leading scorer Brian
Williams. Some Tide players
had their career be~t <tgainsl the
Cats.
Local Wildcat fans are pointing fingers toward the Kentucky
bench in placing the blame on
Coach Smith. But. if you want to
be fair <md honest about this
year's team. the real truth is the
big games they won. They were
"the Crimson Tide'' in that they
played over their heads. What
we are seeing now is what
Kentucky should have been earlier in the season.
This is not as good of a
Kentucky team as we have
known in Kentucky basketball.
Sure they won last year, but not
· with this group. They won with
the Sheppards, Mills and
Edwards. Those players are
gone. and now we have the likes
of Scott Padgett, who does not
seem to be in the game. Jules
Cammara should replace him in
the starting lineup. Cammara
would get the Cats I 2 to 14
points a game. He is a strong
board worker and defensive person.
Many people in the potts
world are singing the praises of
Saul Smith. but their notes are
sounding sour. He can not play
the game. He is not a leader. He
averages more mistakes than
points.
Kentucky was fortunate in a
sense that both florida and
Tennessee fell over the weekend.
leaving Kentucky \Vith a onegame lead in their Jivision. But
that is not the point. The point is
no one is beating or going to
beat Auburn who will get the
number one seed in Lhe SEC
tournament.
Of course, the Cats are an
NCAA team. But the way they
are playing now. wtthout aggression, they will go out in the second round of the NCAA.
I would like to see them
return to the aggressive. full
court, in-your-face defense that
we all enjoyed. The) scored a lot
of points off the press and this
year's team is n honible halfcourr team.
The only bright spot for tlus
team rs the instdc play of
Michael
Bradley.
E' ans.
Padgett. and Turner have lost the
LOuch from the outside and
inside is the only place the Cats
can fino points and that isn't
enough.

Prestonsburg continues giant killer role
(No matter where you buy it!)
by Ed Thylor
Sports Editor
When the 1998-99 high school
basketball season opened. no one
expected the Prestonsburg Lady
Blackcats to be a regional power.
Everyone knew they were going to be
a decent team but no one expected
them to be as awesome as they are.
Coach Jackie Day Crisp's Lady
Blackcats are perhaps playing the
best basketball as any regional team
and has gone from being a mediocre
team to a power house themselves.
No longer is every game an upset win
for the Lady Blackcato; but now they
are being spoken of with the likes of
the other regional teams.
Prestonsburg continue:. its storybook role as a giant killer with a 5453 win over a VCI)' strong Shelby

Coach Crisp prefers it that way.
'That way we can sneak up on

ourselves as a good team. ..

If there are any moral victories

Sheldon Clark to face perhaps the
best team in the 15th Region on
their home floor.
Three weeks ago the two teams

sound thrashing of a lackadaisical
Prestonsburg team.
Last week the Lady Cards
recorded yet another win o\'er

had to scratch out the win over an
improved Lady Blackcat team.

KENTUCKY & NBA DRAFT '84
In iL'i Jan. 25 edition, in tribute to
Michael Jordan. The Sportmg News
rev1s1ted the 1984 "'IBA draft. The
analysis was not kind to three local
draftees. Here's TSN's assessment
followed by a comment. No. 2. Sam
Bowie (UK. behind Hakcem
Olajuwon and ahead of Jordan) was
graded CEO,. He blazed a trail to the
trainers room. sitting out an incredible 189 games during his first four
seasons.
No. 6. Mel Turpin <UK) was
graded <EF,. The only thing he could
post up was the room-service menu
on the hotel room wall. Commem: If
Turpin had a dollar for every ''fat"
joke applied to him. the goodnatured Lexington native would be
as rich as his twin in U1e tower,
Bowie.
No. 8, Lancaster Gordon (Uofl,)
was graded D-minus: Was expected
to compliment (Lakers) Nonn Nixon
but instead averaged only 5.6 points
a game m four seasons.
PARTING SHOT
"There needs to be an attitude
adjustment on the part of the play·
ers." says \IBA Hall of Farner 1om
Heinsohn "They need to get rid of
the notion that they arc the game.
Basketball is the game."
And so it goes.

the Wildlife Management Area
(WMA).
Club
President
Johnny
Lafferty received the award from
Plaxco. "The people who helped
deserve all the credit in the
world," said Lafferty. "They put a
lot of hard man hours into the
WMA. But we all enjoyed it.
Kids is what it is all about."
Lafferty said all the hard work
was tbe future of the kids and that
it is all on public land, meaning
that everyone will benefit from
the food plots and. "not just a few
people."
"Piaxco
and
Rodney
Holbrook, the Corps of Engineer
manager. deserve our hats off to
these two men in general," said
Lafferty. "Spring will be here
soon and we will be hard at it
again."
Lafferty said a Jot had been
accomplished but. "a lot still
needs to be done."
"Anyone wishing to join and
help out is welcome to become a
memher," said Lafferty.
The local club meets at 7:30
p.m. at the clubhouse located on
Stratton Branch.
The club also offers a $500
reward for any person or persons
poaching deer or turkey on the
WMA.
"Poaching is a problem," said
Lafferty. ·'but beware, they will
be caught."

'
Daytona's winning recipe
When you look at the Winston
Cup schedule, you realize that
Daytona is just one of 34 races that
makes up the schedule. It won't
~~t,award any more points than any
other race on the schedule, but the
bulk of the off season work is
geared towards a team's success in
the Daytona 500.
The 500 is our sport's featured
race. The unique aspect of this race
is that it comes at the very beginning of the season and does not
allow for the building of momentum going into the race. This is one
race that you had better do your
homework or you will never entertain thoughts of making it to victory lane.
Daytona International Raceway,
along with Talladega. makes
demands on a car and driver that
are only unique to these two
tracks. These tracks require the use
of the power robbing restrictor
plates which seem to handcuff a
driver's ability to pass on the track.
Now I am not saying that the
driver has little to do with the outcome of the race. I just want to
give you all the ingredients that a
team will need to make it to the
most ffamous victory lane in all of
Motonports.
...,
As I already stated. the restrictor plate is only going to allow a
team to get so much speed out of
its cars. Winston Cup mechanics
are so good that every team, it
seems. is able to milk every horsepower possible out of its engines.
So let's add speed to the winning recipe. Speed is not a problem
with the majority of teams. Bobby
Labonte sat on the pole last year
with a speed of 192.415 mph. This
past Saturday Jeff Gordon took the
pole with a speed of 195.057 mph.
In fact, speeds are up so much this
year that Labonte's '97 pole speed
would only have been the 26th best
speed this year. With speeds up
that much it doesn't look like
speed will be the main ingredient
in deciding the winner.
Just like in years past, the
Shootout showed us that there is
no substitute for combining the
speeds of a couple of drafting partners. Even with the new heights of
the spoiler and the different front
air dam specifications. the truth is
that a car still won't handle at that
speed on its own like it can when
hooked up with another car. To win
at Daytona you must have a car
work with you or you will find
yourself getting shuffled to the
rear as quickly as gas and go pit
stop.
So, we have added drafting
along with speed to our Daytona
recipe. Now from the times posted
so far the speed is there, but the
finding of a drafting partner is not
as much as a technical feat.
Several years ago. your on-track
partner came from a deal that was
struck up on pit road. Now drafting
partners are usually found from
members of multi-car operations.
This may be where some teams
do have the advantage. Hendrick
Motorsports.
Roush Racing.
Penske Racing. and Robert Yates
Racing are just some of the owners
who will put more than one car on
the starting grid. These four owners will put a total of 12 cars in the
show. Don't think that this doesn't
make a difference because it does.
You just have to go back to last
year when Mike Skinner became a
major factor in Dale Earnhardt
winning his first 500.
This year will find another one
of those mega-teams being
unveiled at Daytona. During the
off season owners Andy Petree.
Dale Earnhardt, and Richard
Childress an.nounced they were
forming an alliance to share
research and development ideas as
well as help each other out at the
track when possible. Petree and
Childress will both field two teams
and Earnhardt will fill one, giving
the alliance the same number of
cars as Jack Roush. It should be
getting clearer that the availability
of a drafting partner could be the
difference between winning and
finishing second.
One other drafting consideration that must always be addressed
is the issue of one make of car
drafting with a different make. The
last thing a Chevrolet driver wants
to do is draft with a Ford and be
the driver responsible for putting a
Ford in victory lane. Of course, the
same can be said of a Ford helping
a Chevrolet. So you see drafting
has to be politically correct when
outside of your team for help.
I am not slighting the skills of
the drivers, because I do believe
there are several who have what it
takes to get a car to victory lane at
Daytona. So, in my recipe for
Daytona success, along with a
good driver you must throw in the
necessary speed, but none of it is
worth a seat in a sky box if you
can't come up with a drafting partner.
So. my prediction of who is
going to win the 41st running of
the Daytona 500 is the driver with
the friendliest view in his rear
view mirror.
•Daytona good to Martin in Shootout
Af'Fr 72 other attempts, Mark
Martin powered his way to the
winntr's circle on his 73rd try,
eamina his first ever triumph at
Day(ona International Speedway
last 'Sunday.
Manin, last year's Winston
Cup ~nner-up, had come up
short on horsepower in recent
ltyears at Daytona. But Sunday he
aave a sign of things to come
Saturday when he was fifth in
pole qualifying for next Sunday's
Daytona 500.
Martin came from the 13th
spot of the 15-car field to take
ttie lead on lap 10. He never
trailed the rest of the 25-lap race
for last year's Winston Cup polewinners.
Ken Schrader finished second

Gordon, Wallace big mistakes!
Rusty Wallace missed a
mandatory drivers' meeting and
Jeff Gordon couldn't find the
brakes as both made big time
mistakes in the Bud Shootout
Sunday. Wallace was hooted
from the front to the rear for
missing the mandatory pre-race
driver's meeting. Wallace said he
was glad that it happened in a
non points race and vowed it
would never happen again. ''I
have to pay attention to starting
times and stuff like that," aid
Wallace.
Gordon lost track of his pit
stall and it cost him. Gordon
overshot his pit stall and his crew
serviced his number 24 racer out
of the pit area and he was penalized a lap for the mistake.

A
wild gobbler is a big.
tough bird and big
guns and loads are best.
The 12-gauge 3-inch ,magnum with modern loads of
two ounces of #4, #5 or #6
shot is probably the most
popular combination.
The "Big Guns" of turkey
hunting take 3 1/2-inch shells.
The I 0-gauge magnum and the
12-gauge 3 J/2-inch magnum
both pack 2 1/4 ounces of
sh9t. These provide a lot of
wallop on both ends of the
gun. There's nothing wrong
with being "over-gunned" for
big boss gobblers but these
big guns are heavy and the
recoil is sevt!re.
llow about lighter loads
and smaller gauges? Standard
''short" magnum 12-gauge
shells with I 1/2 to I 5/8
ounces of shot give you about
90% of the range and will
deal with about 98% of the
gobblers that the big guns do.
For smaller and younger
shooters. a light-choked 20gauge with well-patterned 3inch magnum loads will cleanly take 30-yard gobblers with
head and neck shots.

Maybe the kids are still young and you're
dragging them around by the leg, unable ever to

Prestonsburg. Don't let the name fool you This
place feels more like a palace than a shal·k
''It's a little bit of the city in the country,"
sa1d Maurine Scutchficld of Prestonsburg. a
confirmed fan of the business. which might
appropriately be called a health and beauty spa.
Area people have been driving to Lexington
for the same services, said manager Linda
Tackett.
Those services. in addition to the usual hair
cut. perm ana color, include a spa machine,
massage. body wrap. tanning bed. facials, manicures. and pedicures.
The spa machine was. far and a\\ay, the
favorite stop for Jen Kendrick, classified man·
ager for The Times. who agreed to be the
guinea pig for this story.
''It's great," is what she kept repeating after
she lay back in the sauna shell. which looks
something Like a carnival bullet ride. Heat surrounds in the machine, but Kendrick pointed
out that it was ''warm but not sweaty:•
A bombarding of the senses takes place in
the sauna and the effect is totally relaxing. she
said. In addition to the usc of aromatherapy.
which Kendrick said "cleared my head." Tackett
put a CD titled ''Sax by the Sea" in the machine
and soft saxophone music mingled with the
sounds of seabirds and waves.
Inside the shell,
Kendrick could control
massaging vibmtions
which add to the overall
rclaxauon.
When she emerged
after only about I 0
minutes in the spa
machine- and with an
audience, at that- the
mother of two rambunctious boys said she
felt more relaxed than
~he had in years.
The sauna can also
be used with clay body
masks which pamper
the skin or body wraps
which offer temporary
loss of nab inches.
Besides the mentally-soothing element.
Tackett said she has
clients who swear the
sauna helps their arthritis and back problems.
One person, she said,
had been drivtng to
Huntington to use a
similar machine for her
arthritis.
After the sauna.
Kendrick climbed onto
the massage table and
Tackett rubbed lavender
01! on her back in
preparation for the massage which is done by
an electric machine,
called a GX-99 .
The massage,
Tackett said. aids not
only in relaxation, but also in eastng a stiff
neck. lower back pain and injuries to the arm.
shoulder, leg or knee.
Very few people take proper care of their
feet. and, as a consequence. many
wind up with painful corns and calluses that sometimes make walking
quite difficult. The pedicure at the
Hair and Body Shack aims to make
the feet feel better, at least for a little
while.
Tackett begins the foot treatment
with an alcohol cleansing, followed
by application of an exfoliate which
takes off dead, dry skin. Two kinds of
massages are included: a hand massage by Tackett that goes from the big
toe up the calf to the knee and an aromatic foot soak in a vibrating foot
massage machine.
These are followed by a treatment
for corns and calluses and. if the
client desires, nail polish on the toenails.
Manicures include a variety of
softening treatments, nail trimming
and buffing, polish, or. if you don't
think your O'Wn nails are good
enough. the application of artificial
nail!;.
Kcndnck, whose skin is practically
flawless. in~isted her face was I 00
percent better after Tackett gave her a
facial. The treatment, ideally done
while the client is in the spa machine,
includes cleansing, application of a
grainy mask, astringents and creams.
Tackett said that the appeal of the facility is
that "this is your time. Nobody's demanding
anything of you." She
said she and the two
other staff members are
determined not to overschedule, so that each
client can get their
undivided attention. "I

personal attention, added. "Floyd County needs

Kendrick, after her test of the services was
over, vowed she was going to tell her husband
to "forget the flowers and candy for Valentine's
Day." She said she wants another spa treatment.
By the way, don't think this is just a woman
thing. Tackett said 60 percent of her clients are
men.
The Hair and Body Shack is located at 149
Calhoun Dr. and is open Monday through
Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The junk drawer in my
desk at the office recently
coughed up an interesting
item. It seems that a group of
researchers from the
Universlly of Pennsylvania.
with the help of magnetic
resonance imaging. more
commonly refened to as
MRI. has concluded that we
men can' t win.
Well. that's not exactly
how they expressed it, but it
pretty much means the same
thing. After close scrutiny,
I've decided that what they
really sa1d was that they had
decidt:d that aging m a
woman's brmn is not as rapid
as it is in a man's brain.
Consequently, this group has
apparently decided that as
men grow older; they lose
their ability to talk faster than
a woman.
I sure hope nobody spent
an excessive amount of
money just to find that out. I
mean, was this point ever in
question'? How could we lose
the ability to do something
that we've never had the ability to do in the first place?
It's kind of like the man who
asked his doctor after he had
surgery on his fingers if he
would be able to play the
piano.
"Oh, ye:-.." the doctor
replied.
"Good," the man
answered. "( couldn't play a
lick before I hurt my hand."
Anyway, particulars of the
University of Pennsylvania
report stale that the left side
of the brain controls language and verbal abilities,
and the lcCt side of a man's
brain deteriorates two or
three times faster than a
woman's.
In other words. what
they're saying is. when it
comes to arguing with our
wives. the older we men get.
the more disadvantaged we
become.
Well. we sure needed to
hear that. no\\ didn' t we?
If there's a bright side to
all this, It's that now. at least
we have an excuse. Another
plu~ is thal apparently both
sexes reason with the right
side of our brain, and 11 isn't
affected by aging the way the
left side is. That means of
course. that we men arc still
sm,lrt enough to love and
appreciate the little gal we
married. and, may even be
smart enough to reahze that
our failure to win a little ole
argument is not all that
important 10 the tirst place.
But then again. that same
reasoning keep!-> posmg this
question: What's the potnt of
out thinking her if you never
hope to out talk her?
It's kind of like the scenario in the old B Westerns
we used to watch at the
Saturday matinees when we
were kids. You knO\\ the one
I mean. where the handsome
young stranger was a dead
shot but was so slow on the
draw that he was shot dead
before he could shoot.
I' m afraid that what all
this scientific research stuff
boils down to is this: If
you· ve never before won an
argument with your wife, it's
now been proven that as each
day passes, till' odds become
greater and greater that you
never will.

Branson and Fugate both discussed the movement toward requiring active teachers to participate in
social security rather than separate
teacher retirement plans. This
requirement would have a negative
impact on the retirement system and
would not be as beneficial to
retirees. It was urged that members
present write their congressional
representatives Jetting them knov. of
opposition to thb. change.
Alice Martin gave the notification
report and Jimmy Reynolds followed with information on membership. He stressed that any member
not having paid their dues !>hould
send $5.00 to Gene Davts at Banner.
He also noted that KRTA is the only
state organization devoted to the bettemlent of retired teacher benefits
and urged those who have not joined
to do so.
Fugate called attention to the fact
that AARP sponsors driving courses
that result in lower auto insurance
rates for those attending.
Six delegates were selected to
represent FCRTA at the KRTA convention in Louisville in April. Those
chosen were Ruby Akers, Betty
Porter, Imogene Caldwell. Danny
Branson, Gene Davis and Alice
Martin. Keith Stewart was named as
an alternate.
Robert Fugate announced that her
term as a member of the KRTA
Executive Council had expired.
Danny Branson agreed to take this
post, subject to the approval of the
Big Sandy District Association.
Fugate then called on someone to
publicize
the
Pre-Retirement
Seminar scheduled for February 20
at Perry Central High School Library
in Hazard. Alice Martin agreed to
take care of this.
Ruby Akers suggested that the
organization make a donation to the
Floyd County Chapter of the Alice
Lloyd Alumni Association for a
scholarship to the college. The
amount agreed on was $100.
The meeting was concluded with
prayer by Elmer Martin.
Besides the speaker, those present
at the FCRTA meeting were Danny
Branson, Shirley S Vanderpool,
Alice 0. Martin, Carmel Akers.

THINGS TO PONDER
A "guess" is that many of ttl> in
Eastem Kentucky do not view the
usc of cocaine--coke. crack-as
something that happens in our
neighborhoods. However, it occurs
frequently. My professional experience has been that cocaine is usually used locally in combination with
other substances, but occasionally
individuals abuse only
cocaine. As mentioned previously, there does seem to be
"levels'' chotces about drug
usage; i.e .. alcohol, marijuana, and finally cocaine. A
man in his late 30s comes to
mind. He began 10 his
teenage years doing alcohol
and marijuana together. His family
spent gobs of money seek:ing treatment for him. but he apparently was
not ready to stop. Then, throughout
his 20's he gradually switched to
alcohol and cocaine. When seen,
the man had reportedly stopped
abusing alcohol and was involved
with AA. Nonetheless, he was still
using coke occasionally and possibly selltng the substance. What do
you know about the use of cocaine?
Would you recognize the possibility
of someone abusing coke? Are you
aware of the physical and mental
complications that coke tends to
cause'?
According to a study of cocainerelated ER episodes in 21 U.S. metropolitan areas, smoking was the
most frequently reported route of
administering cocaine. Patient!; who
had smoked the drug generally were
younger and less likely to use other
drugs m combination than were
those who took cocaine by other
routes "Speedballing," cocaine and
heroin InJected together, occurred in
about 15 percent of cocaine
episodes and were generally done
by older patients.
Cocaine abuse is seen on all levels of our society and has emerged
as an issue of sigmficant medical
and public health importance. The
side effects of cocaine use escalated
during the 1980's as cocaine
became purer, cheaper. and easier to
obtain. The literature repeatedly
showed that patients were frequently seen in ERs with life-threatening
manifestations of cocaine use.
including trauma. acquired immune
deficiency syndrome, psychomotor
agitation. and cardiovascular collapse. Media has frequently
described case!. where cocaine
abuse is no\\ firmly associated with
several cardiac complications.
Acute myocardial infarction is the
best documented of these complications and appears to result from
cocaine-induced coronary arterial
spasms. Myocarditts and/or cardiomyopathy have been also been
reported in a smaller number of
pati~nts. Finally, life threatening
cardiac arrhythmia's may also result
from cocaine abuse. When the
effects of chronic cocaine-alcohol
abuse on the circulation system
were tested. the results suggest
impairment of certain autonomic
nervous system rencxes and, possibly, an interference wllh the rhythm
"regulator" of the heart. Cocaine
abuse is also a risk factor for
myocardial ischemia, pu lmnnary
nificant differences from those
using heroin alone: had begun using
illicit drugs earlier; showed a higher frequency of anli-HIV antibodtes; had more of an antisocial personality; and had persistence of
depressive symptoms during detox
ification. Suicidal intent is common
among patients presenting with psy-
that lewer teenagers have been
experimenting with alcohol and
manjuann. an increased number of
teenagers arc using cocaine.
Cocaine was once an exotic and
expensive drug that ts becoming
mon.: avl!ilable due to lower prices.
Cocaine and other drugs are not
harmless rccreatronal drugs; they
arc poisonous to the
human body. • Teenagers
may usc drugs as a way to
lit into society. For example, if they are anxious and
feel
powerless,
they
relieve these tension
through drug experimentation Again, be alert of possible indicators of cocaine use, such
a trouble leeping, less appetite,
more irritable than u<.ual, drop in
school grades due to difficulty concentrating and memory Joss, and
mood swings. Also, be aware of
other indicators of po~:-.ible use of
cocaine: i.e., have items that can be
used for snonlng and spend a massive amount or money. Investigate
as soon as you suspect "something"

cerebral infarction. ineffcctive

problems. Cardiopulmonary symptoms were more frequently associated with nasal snorting them with
IV or smoked cocaine. In other
words, the signals to the heart arc

The nervous system is another
physical area where coke may make
a significant negative impact. especially when chronically used.
Cocaine abuse is a recognized cause
of intracranial hemorrhage: most
often the bleeding is localized in the
subarachnoid space or the subcorti·
cal white matter. Researchers have
reported that prolonged and frequent cocaine abuse leads to biochemical and vascular cerebral
msults that eventually may cause
functional and structural abnormalities affecting predominantly the
fronto-temporal (side of the head)
areas. As cocaine abuse via nasal
snorting has increased. other common physical complications have
been chronic smusitis and septal
perforation. Another negative phys
ical effect of cocaine abuse b the
significant impact on the fetus of
the pregnant cocaine abuser, as discussed in previous weeks. Thus,
when you use cocaine not just one
section of you head is involved: the
main thing is that your brain will
not function properly.
Several mental complications
have also been demonstrated due to
cocaine use. Chronic cocainc abuse
can produce a paranoid psychosis
that is similar to acute paranoid
schtzophrenia. The characteristics
of the group who used significantly
more cocaine in the year prior to
admission to the hospital were:
males were significantly more likely than females to develop psychosis; and 96 percent experienced
hallucinations with 83 percent
being auditory, 38 percent visual
(often shadows. flashing lights
described as "snow lights," objects
moving, and bus crawling on the
arm), and 21 percent tactile ones.
Individuals who combined the use
of cocaine and heroin exhibited sig

He also brictly explained Roth

Roth IRA's at retirement. they arc
tax-free. Blankenship said.
"With Roth, if you have

said.
With regular retirement plans. if
the individual dies before funds arc

arc tax-free.
There arc drawbacks, though.
Blankenship said.
"If you're retiring within five

Thanks to public reaction, the
US Anny Corps of Engineers has
decided to keep KY 302, known as
Lake Road, open when it constructs
an auxiliary spillway for Dewey
Dam.
Last fall. the Corps announced it
would close the section of the road
from the Girl Scout Camp, near the
dam, to KY '3051, ncar the entrance
to Jenny Wiley State Resort Park at
Auxier. But residents of both
Johnson and Floyd counties protested vehemently when Corps officials
conducted a public meeting in early
December.
Participants in the meeting
received a letter this week from Lt.
Col. David P. Bartlett Jr. of the
·Corps' district office in Huntington,
saying the Corps has decided to
route the road around the proposed
spillway.
"During the December 7, 1998,
public meeting, I heard your concerns regarding the loss of future
tourism revenue due to the closure
of this road," Bartlett said in the letter, dated February S.
He added that after the meeting

Called Workforce 200 I. the proposed proJect will be a cooperative
project mvolving Prestonsburg
Community College, Morehead
State Umvcrsity, and, possibly,
Mayo Technical College, said Anne
Chaney of the Btg Sandy ADD
office.
The project proposes to assist
area residents in preparing for job:.
with the Federal Bureau of Prisons
at the facility on Honey Branch,
which is slated to open tn the next
couple of years.
According to the statement from
Patton's office, the ARC grant will
be combined with $57,873 in local
money to "provide comprehensive,
coordinated employment readiness
programs to prepare members of
U1e region's workforce for employment positions" with the prison.
Chaney said an "all out effort"
will be madc this spring to identjfy
persons who can meet the stringent
requirements of the federal prison
system.
The trarmng program will
include brush-up work in academic
skills and preparation for interviewing, among other elements. Chaney
said.
"Our goal i:. to provide economic opportunity and an improved
quality of life for all Kentuckians,''
Patton sard. "I'm pkased to be able
to recommend the funding .for this
Workforce 200 I project lhat will
provide the education, training and
skills upgrade necessary for the
people of the Brg Sandy region to

serve as a facilitator for the group.
Willis sard there were mo g1)00
reasons to have Wat'f on the proJect:
He went through the same process
when he was a superintendent and,
"I want someone here to hirddog
the process."
Waff said he would spend the
time untrl the next meeting learnrng
about the Floyd Couuty sclu~ols.
He asked that nny member let him
know about any questions or help
he could provide m the meantime.
The committee then made deci·
sions about how it would operate.
TI1e group selected Sword as chairman and Hughes as vice-chairn1an.
The group will meet the second
Monday of each month at 6 p.m at
the Mountain Arts Center. It was
agreed that as the committee begins
to look at fncilitie~. the meeting
place probably will change from
one meeting to the next.
There was some question as to
who should be the chair - someone from the board or a private cit·
izen. Hughes said he thought it
would make it easier for everyone
if someone representmg rhe board
was chair because that person
would have access to matenals that

emphatic about one rule - everyone is encouraged to voice opinions

Wrllis, Waff, Hughes and Sword
all emphasized that committee
members should read the hand outs

Corps officials told participants
in lhe December public meeting
that the auxiliary spillway had been
in the works for more than a
decade. It proposes to bring the 50year-old dam up to modern standards and protect the area from
what is termed "probable maximum
flood."
The original design called for
closing a two-mile stretch of KY
302 and using it as a dumpsite for
the rock and dirt displaced by the
spillway cut
A Corps engineer said, at the
meeting, iliat the present spillway
- which has never had to be used
- is safe. The additional safeguard~
however, is supposed to protect a
population of more than 28,000
persons from Johns Creek to the
Ohio River in case of a major flood.

tives to keep the southern access
road open.'"
'This is a clear example of how
government should work," Bartlett
wrote. "Although we were ready to
award a construction contract this
summer, your concerns were heard
and we worked dihgently to find a
solution to keep thrs scenic road
open."
Bartlett, who is deputy drstrrct
engineer, said rerouting the road
around the sprllway will add an
extra $1 million to the cost of the
spillway construction, which had
been estimated at $8 million.
It will also delay the project.
According to Peggy Noel of the
Corps' public affairs office, the pro
ject is being redesigned to accommodate the road.
Noel said that after the new
design is completed,' it will have to
be reviewed and approved by the
Kentucky
Department
of
Transportation because the re-routing of a state road is mvolved.
A conservative timeline, she
said, calls for bidding the construction contract for the spillway project in the spring of 2000, with
completion projected for sometime
in 2001.
Exactly how the road will be rerouted is not known yet
Prestonsburg Mayor Jerry
Fannin said yesterday he is "tickled
to death lhey will be able to keep
the road open." Fannin said he had
been concerned about the effect the
closing of the road would have on
the local economy, in terms of
tourism dollars, since it would cut
off tbe dam area from the rest of the
park.

While burning is allowed
between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m .. no one
should conduct outdoor burning
unless the air is calm, and there is
adequate moisture in the air to pre-
vent the spread of fire. ft is illegal to
start a fire any time of the year on or
near timberland without taking all
reasonable precautions to prevent it
from spreading.
Reasonable precautions require
that the ground be cleared around a

requires that all outdoor fires be
attended until fully extinguished.
Remember to check state air quality and waste management regulation:. and local ordinances before
conducting any outdoor burning.

It can work
To all the cynics who think big government never listens to it<;
ordinary constituents, there's a glimmer of hope.
Last fall. the plans had been drawn up and the money secured
for the US AITny Corps of Engineers to build an auxiliary spillway
at Dewey Lake. It certainly appears to be for our own good, protecting lives and property in case we get another hundred-year
Oood (added to the two or three we've already gotten this century).
However, the new spillway was to come with a loss of the
scenic road that snakes around the hillside above the lake on its
north side. The disappearing road would not only break up the
symmetry for sightseers, but it also would force residents of the
community on the north end of the lake to take a longer way home
from the county seat.
During a public meeting in December, members of the Corps
promised they would take local citizens' concerns under advisement. Probably not one per.>on among the two dozen or so who
spoke up at the meeting seriously thought he/she would have any
impact whatsoever on the Corps' decision.
But, boy. howdy! Word has come down from the Huntington
district office that the Corp:; has taken the citizens' wishes into
consideration and redesigned the spillway project to leave the
road open.
As the Corps' Lt Col. David Bartlett Jr. put it. "This is a clear
example of how government should work."
The only thing we would fuss with is that the public input, ideally, should have come before the designs were put on paper. This
isn 't. however. a perfect world, so we'd best be thankful for blessings when we receive them.
What a blow to a cynic's repertoire. Just when you thought you
had it all figured out along comes an outfit like the Corps of Engineers. We're, ahem. impressed.- Pam Shingler
The heart of the 1natte••
The National Education Association has an interesting idea for
a Valentine's Day gift, something that says to children and adults
alike, "You're special and I want the very best for you."
It's- of all things- a book.
Gearing up for the Read Across America event on March 2, the
NEA is suggesting that <;weethearts and parents. in particular. give
the gift of reading.
Reading has never been an important activity for many people
in our area. That's pretty evident when you see the statistics regarding literacy and educational achievement. Il's estimated that
half of us or more read at a sixth grade level or less.
For an adult, a book can entertain, inform. and instruct. It can
provide therapy for the troubled, enlightenment for the confused.

For a child, a book can point the way to higher aspirations.
higher achievement in school, more independence and responsibility, and a brighter economic future.
For parents and grandparents, especially. we would urge you to
show you truly care for your children and grandchildren by buying them a book for Valentine's Day- and then sitting down with
them and reading it to them or reading together. - Pam Shingler

ARTHRITIS CAN STRIKE CHILDREN
I'd like to bting an important childhood health
issue to your attention-arthritis.
Arthritis commonly i~ thought of as a disease of
the elderly. but an estimated 285.000 American children experience the daily pain and limitations of
arthritis. During the week of March 1-7. the Arthritis
Foundation is focusing its efforts to infom1 people
that "Ktds Get Arthritis. Too!"
Much like arthritis in adults. there is no cure for
childhood arthritis. It is painful, limits activit) and
can sometimes be disabling. But children also face
unique challenges. Growth may be affected by the
disease process or the medication needed to manage
the dtsease. Activity with other children may be limited because of fatigue or physical inability.
Plus. the entire family unit i' affected: plans may
have to change at the last minute because of an
arthritis llare-up. medical expenses provtde increased financial burden~. sibling nvalry is enhanced and family streso; is increased.
Children with chronic illnesses like arthritis face
certain difficul!tes. but these pains are amplified
when the child is in school. Our local school dtstricts
must develop an awareness of special needs and be
sensitive to the conditions these children face. Children. parenbo and school systems must addres~ issues
like physical accessibility, physical strain and emotional adjustment.
Fortunately, the Arthritis Foundation provides
help and hope to families coping with childhood
arthritis. Through the Foundations' research program. greater knowledge about the disease is being
acquired and better treatments are being developed.
InfoiTnation, support and services that can make life
with arthritis easier and less painful are available
through the Arthritis Foundation.
I encourage everyone with any of the over 100
forms of arthritis and its related conditions. or who
knows someone with arthritis. to call the Arthritis
Foundation. Kentucky Chapter at 502/585-1866 in
the Louisville area or 800/633-5335 in Kentucky, for
information and services that can make a difference.

BRIDGE CLOSING A ' DISGRACE'
Published Wednesday and Friday each week
enhi
Editor-
Editor:
I've been reading the letters and articles concerning the Town Branch Bridge off and on since the
bridge closed with no advance notice in September
of 1997.
1 agree \dth everything I've read, but there's an
other major problem that needs addressing. The
closing of the bridge interfered \\ith our church.
There are times we can't even get to church. because the mountain we have to cross is too icy. It
stands to reason that if we can't get to church the
people who live there have to have great difficulty in
getting out.
NEWS GRAPHIC
The ex1t from t;S 23 into Town Branch is also
hazardous. When we had our Christmas give-away.
there was a maJor accident. Many of the church people couldn't even get in to help with the give-a-way
because the road was blocked.
I've heard the saying all my life of something
being a "disgrace to the good Lord'' and this must
have been what that saying was intended for. For it
is truly a disgrace before the good Lord, when the
church doors can't be opened because the congregation can't get to the church.

Last week I felt something wrong
with my body that was scary. I hadn't
been to a doctor in a couple of years, like
so many of us delusive mountaineers. I
looked in the phone book and chose an
upscale-sounding outfit whose name embodies a good bit of self-assurance.
I called and was told I could not get in
to see a physician for a couple of weeks.
When I mentioned the thing that was
wrong with my body. the woman who
answered the phone put me on hold for a
few moments. When she came back, she
said she could get me in on Monday, she
took my vital infoiTnation and she gave
me directions for getting to the office. I
wrote the time,
place and doctor 's name on
my calendar.
I felt much
better then because I had taken steps to find out what
the problem was, and I would be privy to
some answers very shortly. That made
the weekend progress without too much
worry.
On Monday I arrived at the medical
office about 15 minutes early and began
to sign in. My name was not on the
schedule. I explained what had transpired last week, and the person working
at the window checked two or three clipboards and a computer without finding
my name.
She asked to whom I had talked. 1 had
not asked the person's name - I never
dreamed 1 would have to verify the calL
(From now on. I suppose I will ask to
whom I am talking w henever I schedule
an appointment- and in doing so I will
have lost a little more faith in my fellow
human beings.)
The thought occurred to me that I had
written down the wrong day, in my haste
toward resolution. But the woman at the
window said my name was not in the
computer. period.
She checked the schedule and said
next week was the earliest I could
reschedule. I would have to contain my
anxiety for another eight days. She took
my vital infoiTnation, the same I had
given the phantom phone receptionist:
name, address. phone number, date of
birth.
Then, she handed me a classy little
appointment card, listing the time and
date of my "real" visit. I took it meekly
and walked out the door and into the elevator.
I was hun, angry and anxious. When I
was asked who had made the original appointment for me, two or three people in
the office bandied my name about, asked
the spelling several times over and went
quickly back to their business.
I felt they acted as if I were a line
breaker, a person who cuts in without
going through the procedure. I could not
possibly have an appointment, else it
would be on their book. I don't ever expect to be gushed over. but it would have
helped if someone had seemed to care,
had seemed to believe I could be right.
It made me mad that sometimes some
members of the medical establishment
make it obvious they don' t really care
about their clients, the people who enrich
them and who have to depe nd on them at
the worse times of their lives.
When I got off the elevator. I stood
there for a minute with the fancy card in
my hand before tearing it into eight or
ten tiny pieces and going back upstairs. I
told the woman to cancel my appointment.
I had to go back to work and spend
another couple of anxious days. Thank-

were extremely nice to me.
However. they noticed right away
that the insurance card from the
newspaper company was unfamiliar
to them. A call to the number on the
card soon let them know that this
physician was not approved by my
company's insurer.
In fact. I found when I checked
our handy li11Jc brochure only a

want to take a day off work and go

On the way back to work I threw
myself a roaring pity patty. I decided I'd just let the problem get so
bad I'd explode or begin to rot and
someone would carry me to the
emergency room - which the
insurance will cover.

desk, I had opted for health. A cot) worker mentioned that a clinic in

yesterday.
Do you suppose I was surprised,
then, when early yesterday morning. I got a call from the clinic, saying the practitioner I was scheduled
to see was sick and could I reschedule for next Wednesday?
I've since learned that many of
the physicians at McDowell ARH
are approved by our insurance plan.
To hedge my bets, I'll not cancel
next week's appointment in
Salyersville. but I may try to see if I
can get one at McDowell
After all this, r ve ceased being
worried about my condition. It still
exists and I still have no idea what's
wrong. But thi~ whole experience
has moved over into the realm of
Theatre of the Absurd. I no longer
expect anything to be right.
I don't know how to fix our
health care system, but I do know it
is not what it should be. I know that
medical personnel need to treat
their clients with a little more
respect. I know that the whole issue
of costs and insurance should be
addressed rationally and should not
contribute to the anxieties we
already have when we seek medical
attention.
This course is open to anyone from the community
who would like to attend.

Engineering Associates of Prestonsburg came under
fire last month after one magistrate srud it contained
several mistakes.
Recently, Lawrence County was awarded a $7,500
grant to hire an engineering firm to come up with a
report on a proposed industrial site in Louisa.
Magistrate Gary Nelson said be couldn't go along
with some of the things included in Alchemy's report.
Among the parts he disputes i!. the mention of KY
460 as a nearby road. Under a heading of roads and
highways. the report said "U.S. 23/460 1s adjacent
to the western boundary of the site," and descnbes
building an access road to U.S 23.
Nelson said he thinks this is misleading because the
closest junction to KY 460 is in Johnson County. Also.
the report said there is a small airport I 0 miles south of
lhe site. and that waterway access exists seven miles
north of Louisa on U.S 23/460 by means of coal loadtng docks.
Nelson said the closest airport is in Martin County
and that the nearest coal dock on the river was in Boyd

The 58th District High School Basketball
Tournament is just two weeks away from tipoff
and there does not appear to be a clear-cut
favorite as the 67th district gets underway at
South Aoyd High School February 23 through
26.
In this tournament, you can just about take
your pick in both girls' and boys' play. Allen
Central and Prestonsburg would appear the
favorites, but on the Raider Arena court, South
Floyd is a very tough opponent to beat
For some teams, Raider Arena is a tough place
to play. Some of them just don't play well there.
and Prestonsburg is one of those teams. But tour~ nament time is a way of getting a team to put
forth a little extra effort. Betsy Layne has been
playing well.
In the girls' ranks, Prestonsburg looks as if
they could carry the favorite's role, although they
fell both times to Allen Central in the regular season. Coach Jackie Day Crisp has his Lady
Blackcats playing excellent basketball.
Coach Cassandra Akers has her Betsy Layne
Lady Cats in gear and they seem poised to make
a run for the district title. For South Aoyd, on
their own floor, any thing can happen.

(Thesday, Feb. 23, 6 p.IU.)
Coach Tim Rice and his Bobcats will meet the
newest kid on the block in the Piarist Knights.
This is the first year for the Knights to take part in
the district tournament.
Betsy Layne should pick up an opening round
win, but Coach Canier Hall vows the Knights will
be playing very hard to sec that doesn't happen.

WHAT A
TREAT...
Have you ever caught the
"DynamJL Duo'' of AI Gunter
and his color analyst (and we
usc thai description very carefully), Freddie Goble doing
Prestonsburg girls basketball
over Cable Vision, Channel 7?
lf not. it would be worth your
time to tune in these two ESPN
rejects.
They arc the only two I
know of. when a coach calls for
a "double-list play,'' they think
they arc going to tight . Both
think that referees arc good
candidates for a visit to see Dr.
Lee t\lajakcy to ha\ c their eyes
exanuned. The two call the
Prestonsburg players by their
tirst names and the other team
by numbers. To them. a foul
(fowl) is what you call at the
chicken lot.
There is not any two like
them and you think you are just
wakmg up from a bad dremn
after watching them. They are
refreshing and definitely different.
COUNTING...
We art! 11 days and counting
before the 5Rth District tips off
at South Floyd High School on
Tuesday. February 23. What a
tournament it promises to be,
both boys and g irt-.
This will be one season
when the number one seed is
an automatic into the reg10nal
tournament. Allen Cent11ll
received both number one
seeds in girls and boys. but
both coaches knO\\ that it is
going to be tough. even in the
first round.
"Betsy Layne v. ill be tough
for us," smd Allen Central
coach Johnny t\1at1m But the
Bobcats have to get past a vastly improved Piarist School first.
But I think eveJ)one (except
the Knights) looks at the pairings as a matchup between
Allen Central and the Bobcats.
Look at the conference season:
• Allen Central wins 'ieven
games in the conference but
only two arc bltm outs against
Piarisl. The re\1 are cio'ie ones.
• Preston,burg, like rhc rest
of the field, has ~m cas) time
with the Knights. bUI cannot
leave the other teams siuing.
• South rloyd pia) s the other
top conference teams clo:-.e and
are very capable of\\ inning a
distriJt title.
• Betsy Layne. Coach Tim
Rice has his team playing very
well right now and they could
pull a first round upset.
The women·, di\ ision is
going to be equal!) as good if
not better. Look at this:
• Allen Central los1.'s a conference game for the first time
in four years. Th~y survived
Prestonsburg and lust to Betsy
Layne.
• Prestonsburg is strong in
the conference. falls twicc to

THE fLOYD COUNTY TIMES
for the on-coun leadershtp. Stewart
has played better in the last four
wel!ks. Misty Berger must step up
her game and the Lady Raiders need
some outside scoring lrom Margaret
Morgan and Monica Newsome. 1l1e
mside game will have to come from
dependable Shawna Hall.
Allen Ccntml has an array of tal
ent. but they really have not meshed
at the same time this season. Senior
Jennjfer Hopkins leads the Lady
Rebels and carries their outside
threat. Inside, Jessica Martin has
played very well. But Natalie
Cooley is the key here and she has
been a terror around the basket of
late. Guard play has been the suspect
most of the season for Allen Central
with coach Anthony Moore looking
for different combinations.
Jennifer Risner is a solid outc;ide
threat from the arc. Shanna Howell
has certainly pla)Cd well at times
along with freshman Beth Combs,
who starts at the point. I like the way

Does Floyd County need AD?
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Magoffin County has one. Pike County has
one. Johnson County has one Martin County
has one. That brings up an interesting question: why doesn't floyd County have one?
I'm talking about a county athletic director!
For years we were one of the "boys" and
like other counties. we had our own athletic
director. We had someone 111 charge. Someone
you address a situation to, report a problem to
or seek answers from.
Today. we are on the outside and have
placed our county athletics in the hands of our
school athletic directors or some unknown
person at the local school board who doesn't
really care about athletics
There is so much confusion in our county
concerning athletics that you really don't
know who to go to for an answer. Our athletic
director always overlooked athletics in the
county and saw that thmgs were don~ on
schedule. He also chaired the Ji~trict tournament meetings, and held regular meetings
with coaches, principals and AD's (athletic
directors).
Three years ago athletics in our county
were first-class with a good working relationship between school principals, coaches and
AD's. We have always had a line of communications open to where you get answers.
Denzil "Hoss" Halbert was a very good
county AD and had our grade school program,
as well as high school, on the right path.
Frankie Francis was a limited county AD, in
that he had other duties, but he did a good job.
Most recently. the job fell to Pete Grigsby Jr.,
who was replaced by a trio of educators.
Grigsby worked hard in trying to get the programs straightened out and haJ us heading the
right way. When things were looking real
good. then the job was eliminmcd.
The second girls' game will lead
off the session on Wednesday mght
in what promises to be a very good
basketball matchup between two
very good teams.
Betsy Layne. the three seed, takes
on second seed Prestonsburg, and it
will be a bam burner. Both teams arc
playing great basketball and at the
right time.
Prestonsburg has been tagged
with "gtant killer'' reputation and
Betsy La) ne has known what it is to
knock off a giant or two themselves.
Coach Akers ballclub will be lead
by a youth corp that is second to
none in the county. But how they
will perform against the more experienced team will have to be good.
Jenny Parsons, Devon Reynolds,
Amber Roberts, are the young players that needs to blend with veterans
Sheena Akers. Leslie Hopkins and
Amanda Hall.
Prestonsburg will look to the
senior leadership of Shelly
Greathouse, Kjmi Nunnery and
Crystal Slone. But there will be a
good group to complement those
three. Amelia Conley, Brooke
Coleman, Ashleigh Ousley, and
Megan Hyden are solid basketball
players.
This game will go down to who
takes care of the basketball the best.
ALLEN CENTRAL VS BETSY
LAYNFJPIARIST
(Wed., Feb. 24, 8 p.m.)
Number one seed Allen Central
will face the winner of the Betsy
Layne/Piarist Knights in a second
round game on Wednesday night.
Allen Central has been around the
basketball world this season and
brings some tournament tough
games with them.
Betsy Layne put a scare in the
Rebels rwo weeks ago and you can
bet coach Johnny Martin is not taking this game light!y whoever they
play. The Rebels handled the
Knights rather easily in their two
regular season games.
Nick Samons, Jesse Hall, Gary
Hunter, and Brian Jones are seniors
and have played together for a long
time. Add Lany Mullins at guard
and you have a solid quintet. But
Rodney Scott, Nathan Tackett and
Shawn Newsome give the Rebels a
long bench.
Now without sounding negative. I think it
just hasn't worked out very well with the present setup. Floyd County needs an athletic
director to oversee all the sporting events 111
the count)'. chair all the meeting~ dealing with
athletics and answer all the questions concerning alhletics.
Not too long ago I had a college coach ask
me, ''doesn't anyone know what is going on in
Floyd County sports?" I couldn't tell the
coach who to contact because I don't know.
We are a county without leadership tn athletics and where do you send someone to get
answers?
1 would like to challenge our school board
members to name someone in our county to

''I feel great," said Allen Central
coach Johnny Martin over his team's
performance. "Physically, l feel bad
but, otherwise. l feel greaL"
And he should after his team came
from II points down to pull out the
win; wmething they have been accustomed to doing all season.
'This a great group of kids,'' said
the elated Rebel mentor. 'They pull
together and help each other on the
floor. At times, they are getting after
each other.''
Prestonsburg looked to be the best
of the two teams early, only the inside
play of Brian Jones kept the Rebels in
the game in the fiN half. Jones
scored 24 points and pulled down
seven rebounds to share scoring honors with wphomorc Larry Mullins,
who connected on 17 of 21 free
throws.
Prestonsburg held Allen Central's
leading scorer, Nick Samons. scoreless for the game, but Samons was
whistled for two quick fouls in the
ftrst quarter and was on the bench
most of the game.
"With Nick not scoring for us, I
would never have thought we would
have won," said Coach Martin. "But
the other kids stepped up and played
well."
Gary Hunter wac; one of t110se
who stepped up and joined Jones and
Mullins in double figures. Hunter
scored 16 pointe; but had 12 rebounds.
Jesse Hall netted nine point-;, but hit a
big three-point bao;ket.
Nathan Leslie continues to be a
thorn in the side of the Rebels ru1d
finished with 22 points.
"He's a great player and he is so
much bigger than we arc," said Coach
Martin. "We have all the respect m
the world for Jackie (Pack) and
Prestonsburg."
Russ Music scored 13 point~ for
Prestonsburg with Joe Campbell finishing wit11 I2. John Ottcga finished
with 10 points. Jason Keathley netted
eight and Kalen Hanis tinished witJ1
six.
It wac; catch·up time for most of
the game for Allen Central a., they
trailed Pre...tonsburg 34-23 with 2:49
to play in the second quarter. The
Blackcats took their biggest lead on a
three-point basket by Ortega But
Allen Central rallied to narrow the
margin to 40-36 at the half.
The Rebels caught Prestonsburg at
45 in the third quarter on a free throw
~Y Hall with 4:34 on the clock. But
Prestonsburg ran off eight straight
pointe; to assume a 53-45 advantage.
'They just ran at our press."
explained Coach Martin. 'They threw
the-ball over and Leslie got some
easy baskets."
Leslie scored six of the eight
points in building an eight-point lead.
breaking to the basket with Campbell
dumping the ball to the middle. Allen
Central climbed back to within three
points of the Blackcats to trail 57-54
after three quarters.
Allen Central took its first lead of
the game with 5:30 remaining when
Jones nailed an 18-foot baseline
jumper for a 61-60 lead. Rodney
Scott. on a power move, banked the
ball off the glass for a 63-60 game.
With 3:58 to play. Ortega connected on two charity tosses to knot the
game at 65. That would be the tina!
tie as Allen Central got four free
throws from Mullins and a Hall basket to lead 71-65.
Leading by four. with less than
two minutes to play (1 :40) Mullins
nied an acrobatic shot that did not
come close and the Blackcats were
off and running. A rebound basket by
Leslie cut the lead to 71-69.
Prestonsburg appeared to tire in
the final minutes of the game, making
some mental eiTOrs allowing the
Rebels to build a four point margin.
In the final four minutes, Leslie had
the only three field goals for the
Blackcats.
"When you go out and chase this
bunch, you are going to get tired,"
said Martin. "It takes it out of you late
in the game."
Coach Martin said his team played
according to their game plan and that
was to attack the basket.
'That is the way we play every
game," he said. ''We don't know any
other way. When we get down, we
play harder. But the bad part of it is
when we get up by 11. we can lose
it."
The Allen Central coach praised
Jones tor his play. but would like to
sec it more consistently.
"When Bnan gets his game face
on he can pluy with anyone around,"
he said. "He is quick enough. He
came t11rough tor us tonight.··

Rebels, which wa~ quc.~tionable in

tx-en a priority in pmctices.
"We have been working on our
free throw shooting." he said "We

thmws."
The Rebels attempted 37 tosses
and hit 27. Mullins, alone. attempted

PRESTO!'.SBURG VS SOUTH
FLOYD (Thurs.. Feb. 25. 6 p.m.)
Prestonsburg and South Floyd
will close out the first round on
Thursday night and this could be a
good one. The last time the two
teamll met on the Raider Arena floor,
South Floyd pulled out a double
overtime win over the Blackcats.
Prestonsburg won the other
encounter on its home Ooor.
South Floyd hopes to have Justin
Paige back for the tournament and
how effective he will be once he
docs return is uncertain.
But the Raiders have plenty of
tirepowcr elsewhere and look for a
high scoring game tf they both run
the court.
The Raiders will look to Ryan
Shannon, Kyle Tackett and Jimmy
Stumbo for the offense. Byron Hall
is a solid worker on the boards and
John Meade is dependable off the
bench. if Paige returns. If not. then
Meade will start. Eighth-grader
Michael Hall will give the Raiders
some valuable minutes off the
bench.
Pre~tonsburg has won the last
three district tournaments and would
like to make it four straight. Led by
seniors John Ortega, Nathan Leslie,
Joe Campbell and Russ Music, the
Blackcato; arc considered one of the
top teams in the 15th Region. Kalen

LOl'iGEVITY...
I have been sitting behind the
sports desk here at the Times
for the past ll years. I have
seen many, many, many good
basketball players leave our
teams through graduation and
go on with another phase of
their lives.
This year, the senior clas1. in
the county, for some reason.
seems very special to this person. I was thinking the other
night, while driving home from
a game. about the players who
wiU not play for our county
teams anymore after this season. They will not grace the
court like they have done the
past 12. years of their lives.
Some were just in the second
grade when I started here, now
they are about to lea\'e.
It seems like I ha,·e gone
through their school years with
them. and its gomg to be sad 19
sec them leave. I know we will
sec some of them around. but 11
others will leave. go off to college. find employment elsewhere But for some unknown
reason, I am going to miss this
crop of seniors. They just seem
special.
The dance teams, cheerleaders, band members, majorettes
and others, I have noticed you
and the part you play in the
games. you arc the support
groups that are VCf) special to
the athletes on the floor. field
and other places. Thank you for
being there for them.
ALL-CONFERENCE, DISTRICT
~
This yea.r·s di-..trict tournament will feature the 12-man
All-Conference and All-District
teams. As I marked my aU-conference ballot, I found it very
hard to pick just 12. What a
great group of players we have
in the game today. Many arc
young players who have yet to
make their mark on the game
like they will by the time they
are seniors.
Picking an all-conference,
all-district team is never easy.
You have to judge the players
on how they performed, say, in
conference games and not in all
the other games. The all district
IS based on how they play in the
tournament.
A player may have a great
conference season and not fare
well in the district. They may
lead in scoring and not have
much of a tournament game.
Therefore, they may not be
named to the all-district team.
Also. the top vote getter will
be named the Most Valuable
Player in both girls· and boys·
play. Our kids deserve it.

I low fast the regular season

season enters its final week of
the regular season.
The SEC tournament will
begin in three weeks, it will be
state tournament time. NCAA
tournament time and then spring
will be here and the boys of
summer will get underway baseball.
Could it come down to the
final regular season game at

Fishing bass tournaments
Question: I am interested in fishing bass tournaments. How do I get
~tarted?
Tee's Answer: I suggest joining
a local hass club. so
you
can
get
acquainted
with
other fi~hem1en
their techniques as
well a::. personality.
Fish "'ith as
many different people as possible. You
can learn something from every
person you're -with.
When you find
someone you really
work well with,
begin fishing some
local team tournaments together, this
will huild your confidence.
If you become
confident, you can compete from
early spring to late fall. it is time for
you to move up.
I recommend joining Operation
Bass, they have been running tour-
naments nationwide for 20 years.
You can fish close to home or travel far and wide. They now have
three levels at which you can compere. You start with the Red Man
Tour. From there
you qualify for the
t\Cr~tart Tour and
then there is the all
new and exciting
FLWTour.
Best of all, you
can fish as a boater
or non boater. Any
level of competition you arc comfortable with, they
offer. For more
information, call
(502)362-4880.
Link up with the
website
at
www.opcrationbass,,:om.
By no means,
toumam~:nt fishing
IS not for everyone. The main thing
is to enjoy your fishing at whatever
level you choose. But if you really
love to fish and you have a competitive nature. it may be for you.

Bill Spivey scored 22 points and an ailing Cliff Hagan sparked the
Wildcats to their third NCAA title.
With a squad consisting of only six healthy players
-Walt Hirsch was ineligible and
Hagan was plagued by an infected throat - the
Wildcats hardly looked like championship
material as Kansas State broke out to
a 20-12 lead.
It was then that Rupp inserted the ailing
Hagan. It was a move that may have proved the
difference as the freshman forward sparked a
rally that saw t:K cut the Kansas State lead to 2927 at the half.
Led by Hagan and Spivey, who dominated the
boards, l.JK outscored Kansas State 41·29

continue to save lives today.
Elijah McCoy 1844-1929

February is Black History
Month and a great time to find
out more about the contributions
African-Americans have made to
our society.
Black History Month came
about because of the work of
Carter G. Woodson. Born in
1875, Woodson graduated from
high school in just 1V2 years and
later went on to teach high
~·school. In 1916, he started the
Journal of Negro History.
In order to honor what African·
Americans had done, Woodson
started Negro History Week in
1926. Negro
History Week
became Black History Month in
1976.
This year, as we observe
Black History Month, take some
time to learn more about these
and other African-Americans:

The
Floyd

Executive Board, at its Friday meeting. voted to delay a decision on
changing paging companies, as
requested by the group's Advisory
Council, because a representative of
the company said she had never
been informed of problems.
Elizabeth Isaacs. a representative of Appalachian Cellular. was
present to address paging problems
that had been voiced by Terry
Triplett at the last Advisory Council
meeting.
Issues said the company is working on the problem, and she said
that no one had formally told the
company about a problem with the
pagers.
Deputy Judge-Executive Chris
Waugh said since the company is
wilhng to work with the board. he
would~ recommend that this situa-
tion be worked out to the ad\ isory

The motion to bid lor a new paging company was tabled. and
Appalachian Cellular was given 30
days to work on the problems.

In order to accomplish this plan, the
WRDC is utilizing the most current
and efficient GIS technology-to provide a framework and set of tools
for the acquisition, storage, manipulation and use of its planning data.
Phase I of the plan development

if federal approval is given. The
project would
also
receive
$134,610 in state funds.
The objective of this project is to
create the Kentucky Economic
Development Information System
(EDIS) to support economic development in Kentucky and, specifically, the Appalachian region, by
attracting businesses that are
expanding or looking for new sites
for their operations. This would be
accomplished by creation of a fully
automated state industrial site and
buildmgs database using GIS.
The ARC funds would support
the development of the Appalachian
counties' components of the
Geographic Information System.
The Cabinet woud enlist the
Appalachian Area Development
Districts (ADDS) in development
of the system. An Appalachian GIS
Economic Development Coalition
would be established with the
Appalachian ADDS, local communities and the KY Cabinet for
Economic Development.
"Quality water, educational
opportunities and economic development are all important to our goal
of raising the standard of living for
Kentucky," Patton said. "These projects are a step in that direction and
I am pleased to recommend them
for funding."
Full applications have been submitted to the Federal ARC
Washington Office for approval.

News update

Few former welfare recipients
would return to public assistance if
given the chance, according to a
new survey commissioned by the
Kentucky Cabinet for Families and
Children.
As did a similar survey the year
before, the new survey shows that
most former recipients beheve
they are better off not receiving
we)fare. The new survey also
shows that both the wages and the
number of hours worked increased
slightly for the former recipients in
comparison to the previous year
The 1998 survey shows that just
18 percent of respondents would
return to welfare voluntarily. That
number is down from 25 percent
the previous year. In 1997, 69 percent said they would not return to
welfare, in 1998, 78 percent said
they would not return.
The new survey showed that
more than 62 percent of those
responding reported, by their own
criteria, that they were "better off"
having left welfare than they were
while receiving welfare. That's u~
10 percent from the year before.
The latest findings are part of a
telephone survey of 522 former
recipients of the Kentucky
Transitional Assistance Program,
or K-TAP. The survey was conducted in October by the Center for
Policy Research and Evaluation of
the University of Louisville, which
is under contract with the Cabinet
to evaluate the impact of huge
changes in welfare laws since
1996. The Center conducted a similar survey in 1997, asking questions of 560 former recipients.
"We are encouraged by some of
the findings in this year's survey,"
said Cabinet Secretary Viola
Miller. "The fact that most former
recipients say they are better off
being off welfare seems to suggest
that we are headed in the right
direction. On the other hand, we
are not about to declare victory. We
have much work to do to make
sure life really is better for people

EditorialChalk another one up for those who would step on our
hands just as we ha\'e scaled the mountain and are on the
verge of lifting ourselves over the edge.
An article in Sunday's Courier-Journal reported on how
"well-represented" Kentucky was at the Sundance Film Festi\al and its offshoots last month. The festivals in Utah are the
"in'' places for aspiring filmmakers. most of whom want to be
noticed and hired on by Hollywood moguls.
One of three Kentucky-related entries was by Rory
Kennedy, youngest daughter of Ethel and the late Robert, who
entered a film, titled "American Hollow." in the documentary
competition, according to the article by Peter Byck. The film
portrays the lives of lrcc and Bass Bowling and their family in
Saul. Ky.
Oh, hoy! We don't even have to see or hear the rest to go
into automatic recoil. Whenever someone from up East or
even from out West does a documentary on the lives of mountain folk, we can generally assume up front that the region is
going to come out looking much the worse for wear.
You can just hear
the gush in Kennedy's
voice and you kno~
her eyes are wide with
l!Xcitemenl. "They all
live this life that I just
didn't know still existed," she is quoted by Byck. "It's a life
of almost complete isolation. They live about an hour and a
h:1lf from the closest town."
(Naturally, we want to know where this could possibly be
and what is Kennedy's definition of "town." Kentucky has so
many counties that it seems nigh on to impossible to live that
far from a county seat. which should qualify as a town even
though some are pretty small.)
She goes on: "They live off the land to a large degree. They
also live off welfare. government assistance. But they grow
their own gardens and they go out in the hills and they gather
ginseng and moss and bloodroot..."
How quaint. How noble.
We learn also that most of lree and Bass' children left
home and then returned to raise their own families "in little
shacks right next to" their parents. Bass is a recovering alcoholic. their son Lonso "considers himself addicted to Prozac,"
and Lonso's son Clint. the first of the clan to graduate from
high school. fails to break away from the cycle of dependence.
We can't deny that the Bowlings exist. We can't deny that
many of our fellow Appalachians, perhaps even some of our
family members. live this kind of circular life. Nor can we excuse those people who will see this film and, in their own ignorance. will assume everyone who ltves in the mountains is
just like the film characters.
fhe tragedy is that come November when the film ts to be
shown on HBO, millions more will see the negative stereotypes re-enforced. They won't bother to find out that the facts
of this film do not add up to the Truth about our region. The
Truth lies not just with the facts of "Ametican Hollow,'' but
also with countless other hollows in these parts where people
live, more or less. mainstream lives and where they feel both
pride and shame. - Pam Shingler

-Letters t~e EditorDISCUSSION ON RELIGION ENCOURAGED
Editor:
Over the past weeks, we have had some discussion in the Viewpoint section of the Floyd County
Times concerning the role of religion in Floyd County.
l sincerely believe that such debates are useful to
a community of people; thus, I would like to see
more people present their views on the following
themes:
•Is the sole purpose of religion to save souls for
the hereafter?
• Does a congregation have a responsibility to the
community'?
• What are the responsibilities of an individuaL
claiming to be religious, to hi~ community?
• Does the practice of religion. like the practice of
a sport. have ttme-in periods and time-out periods?
• ls religion confined to a two-hour period on
Sunday?
Plea-;e share your views.

'ROAD PUT PRESTONSBURG ON THE MAP'
Editor;
I'm a property owner on Town Branch Road,
third restdence from the bridge.
Older folks have said Town Branch Road was the
only road into Prestonsburg to go to the bank and
courthouse, to get feed and groceries. Town Branch
Road put Prestonsburg on the map.
The mayor and city council want a bridge down
the river to benefit them and the politicians. PUlthe
bridge back in the same place for the people of Town
Branch and for 911 Emergency.
I urge all Floyd Countians to attend the meeting
Monday. February 22, at Prestonsburg Elementary at
5 p.m. Call the governor. Put the bridge in the same
place. Save the historic road and the people of Floyd
County.
And. how about putting up a sign dedicating the

Editor:
Attendance (FCT, February 5) is a very important
factor pertaining to our children's education; however, it is not the only factor. When our children are
sick with "the flu or viruses," then they are not able
to function to their full capacity. Therefore, because
attendance is stressed so much, we send them to
their classes.
If they do not already have the germ causing the
flu or a virus, they are more likely to contract it from
other students who do. When our children fall prey
to these illnesses, they are forced to miss several
days of classes in order to get well.
What happens to their education U1en'? For one,
they fall behind: thus. they are forced to play catchup when they are able to return to class. Second.
\\hen students have duplicate amounts of homework, a high percentage of the studied material remains in short term mt!mory only. Finally. a greater
amount of stress is added to the students. pertaining
to responsibtlity.
So, to those who see no rea~on to cancel classes
when such outbreaks occur, I ask, "Which is more
important: Student achievement or high attendance?" I hope the answer is student achievement
and success.

Editor:
It was with shock and disbelief that I read last
Wednesday's edition of the Times about the reassignment of John Herald and Brenda Music. Anyone who
has Jived in this area and attended (or had relatives who
anended) PCC knows that these charge~ are outrageous
and without justification. Obviously, it is just another
retaliatory ploy by Dr. Deborah Floyd to seek revenge
on lhosc who have the nerve to disagree and speak out
against her.
The purpose of this letter is to encourage anyone
who currently attends or is an alumnus of the community college to write Dr. Tony Newberry. Chancellor.
Kentucky Commumty and Technical College System
(KCTCS) in support of these two mdividuals. As you
know, they have helped hundreds of us through the
years in our pursuit of a college degree. Now they need
your help.
If you support John Herald, Dean of Business Af-
fairs, and Brenda Music. Director of Financial Aid.
please express your feelings on this matter by writing
to Dr. Newberry. Since employees of PCC are afraid to
speak out (as thl!y tried and failed in the past), we PCC
alumni must do so for them. It is frightening to think
that a tenured teacher could be reassigned and threatened with dismissal after 28 years. I am sure the late
Dr. Henry Campbell would agn.'C with me on this issue.
I urge you to send letters of support to Dr. Tony
Newberry, KCTCS Chancellor at Conference Center,
2670 Research Park Dnvc Lexington, KY 4051 L
Since Mr Herald's and Ms. Music's futurt!s are at
stake. it1s imperative that letters be written immedtately to express support for these individuals who have
worked so hard tor so many of us throughout the years.
I hope you will join me. My letter is being mailed
today.

Have you gotten your phone call
from life yet? If not, it won't be long
until you do. My conversation with life
went something like this:
Life: Hello. Willie, this is life calling.
Willie: Sure. And I am Plato
Cacheris. So what is your first name?
L ife: I have three first names: It's a
Wonderful.
Willie: Cute. I bet your nickname is
Saver. And 1 don't want a cell phone.
Life: No, the
cell phone is for
your wife. I
have
other
things to talk to
you about.
Willie: Yeah,
like what?
Life: Willie,
this is your life. (I can be humorous,
too.) You are driving that Royal Hollow
thing into the ground. I was up there last
week. T he place is not big enough for
one column and certainly not as many
as you have devoted to it. I told Kathryn
Youmans to point that fact out to you.
Kathryn's right - even Sizemore is
more exciting than Royal Hollow.
Willie: 1 also write about McD owell
and Frasure's Creek.
Life: Yeah, the metropolitan area and
its suburb - real excitement. Write
about something exciting. Something to
get the people stirred up about.
Willie: I think the people arc stirred
up as much as we can stand them with
the Monica thing.
Life: I' m not talking about stirring
people up that way. W rite about something around here.
Willie: I'll write about Governor Patton and Representative Stumbo making
up. That will get the people's attention
in a minute. Did you know about that?
Life: Who do you think got them together.
Willie: That's meddling. By the way,
is that a pennanent thing?
Life: That's life. You know what Tom
Hanks said about a box of chocolates in
''Forrest Gump"?
Willie: You're not life - you are a
collection of cliches.
Life: Cliches or not, I have to mention some other cracks in your life. The
weather channel is not considered entertainment. Watch it one time and then get
a life. O ccasionally. I catch you switching to CNN. Do you think you can
stand the excitement?
Willie: What do you want me to
watch, the impeachment bustness?
Life: You could. I had a lot to do with
that. too.
Willie: I figured as much.
Life: Well, I got to go now. I will
leave you with these parting shots:
" live me to the fullest." "grab me by the
horns," "live me in the fast lane," ...
Willie: Oh, shut up. And I still don't
won't your cell phone. But I do waor a
digital camera and a 20-inch monitor if
you could see you r way to getting those.
Life: Too late, Willie. You can't fool
Mother Nature and you sure can't sass
life. You only get out of life what you
put in. At your rate, kiddo. don't look to
win any lotteries or anything.
Willie: Shelley was right:

I fall upon the thorns of life! I

"Even if the rcfom1s and spend-

says.

highest (percentage increase)
among the 50 states" in the period
from 1989 to 1996, Hoyt reports.
But the elimination of those disparities has not translated into
smaller class sizes, according to the
study. The state showed only a 4.5
percent reduction in the student~
teacher rauo.
Other studies on successful
schools ind1cate that students learn
more when teachers can offer more
indiv•dual attention-something
not available in large classes.
Hoyt also found that the percent·
age of current expenditures that
school districts spent on teacher
salar:ies actually declined between
1988 and 1996. The size of teacher
salaries can impact the quality of
teachers who accept jobs in
Kentucky's public schools.
In fact, Hoyt says teacher
salaries may have the biggest
1mpact on student perfonnance on
national tests-espec1ally by the
power that higher salaries will have
penn•t Kentucky's school administrators to attract new, talented
teachers.
The hinng of new teachers,
tr:uned m proven techniques that
show better results and in the use of
new technology, may have the
greatest effect on how KERA's
refom1s work 1n the long tenn. Hoyt
says.
"Only when d1stricts have the
opportunity to htre new teachers
can we expect to see any benefits
from increased spending on teach·
ers," he says.
Hoyt's study, "An Evaluation of
the Kentucky Education Refonn
Act," is published in the 1999
Kentucky
Annual
Economic
Report, published by the UK Center

Research. That publication, which

It was expected to be a battle when the Allen
Central Rebels traveled to Paintsville last Friday
, night in what has traditionally become a huge regional game.
But this time the Paintsville Tigers had little trouble handling the Rebels full court pressure and rolled
to an easy 96-81 win over Allen Centtal in a high

Nick Samons continued to struggle offensively.

Mitchell Grim burned the nets for 30 point~ that
included four three point baskets to lead all scorers.
Kenneth Meade added 15 while Ben Trimble scored
12.
Gary Hunter, with his slashing moves to the basket, led Allen Centtal with 23 points. Larry Mullins

The South Floyd Raiders are
looking for some momentum as
high school basketball entered its
final week of the regular season
just before the Second Season
begins next week at South Floyd
High School.
That momentum seems to be
swinging the Raiders way as they
posted their second straight win
and fourth in their last five
games. The latest victim was the
Jenkins Cavaliers last Friday
night in an 83-52 drubbing.
The Raiders improved to 10-10
over the season and are 4-3 in the
Floyd County Conference. The

South Floyd will
meet
Prestonsburg in a first-round
game of the- boys' 58th District
tournament Thursday night at 6
p.m.
Ryan Shannon scored 17
points with John Meade and
Rusty Tackett knocking down 14
points each to lead the Raiders to
the 31-point win. Coach Henry
Webb said his ballclub is coming
together as a unit.
"We are handling the basketball and moving the ball much
better than we did earher 10 the
season.·· he said. "Like I said earlier in the year, we are pleased
overall \\-lth the direction our pro
gram is moving in and we are
working hard to be read) for what
I believe will be an exciting district tournament for both the boys
and g1rls."
Better ball handling was e\ident against Jenkins with the
Raiders turning the ball over only
nine times, a season low for them.
But another glimmering light was
on the defensive side of the basketball where they forced Jenkins
mto 24 turnovers.
South Floyd also had their season high in assists with 21. They
outrebounded the Cavs 41-27.
Ruc;ty Tackett, a sophomore.
came off the bench and tossed in
14 points in helping to give the
Raiders a longer bench. John

Luck of the flip
pits Johnson Central
against Paintsville
BUT FIRST T HIS QUOTE...
"I want to rush for I ,000 or
1,500 yards, whichever comes
first." New Orleans Saint RB
George Rogers. when asked
about the start of last season.
With the regular season all
but history, four districts that
make up the 15th Region tips
off next week with some
games played on Monday
night.
But most of the attention
will be centered at Paintsville
High School where the 57th
D1strict will be held. Out of the
57th District has come the
regional champion the last four
years - Paintsville Tigers.
Can they do it again?
Repeat for a fifth regional
title? Some say no while otherc;
say the Tigers are the team to
beat.
Paintsville 1s a legitimate
team. With such heavy losses
from last year, Todd Tackett
(UK) and J.R. Vanhoose
(Marshall), it was surmised
that the Tigers would be hard
pressed to win a fifth consecutive title. But as this season has
shown, coach Bill Mike
Runyon and his Tiger: are
poised to strike with every
claw and a fifth title is not out
of the questiOn.
Of course. before you can
win a regional championship.
you have to get out of your
district. T he Tigers will face
coach Johnny Ray Turner's
Johnson Central Golden Eagles
in a first round game at
Paintsville.
How did this happen? The
luck (or bad luck) of the coin
flip. Johnson Central. who had
a great regular season. tossed
the coin with Sheldon Clark to
see who got to meet Paintsville
in the fourth seed spot.
Johnson Central lost the toss
and now must face a team that
has beaten them twice.
But both wins over the
Eagles did not come cas) for
the Tigers . One game was an
overtime affair and the other a
three point win. So, can the
Eagles soar in game three'? I
think so. but it won't be easy.
W1th the 15th Regional
tournament held at Johnson
Central this year. the Eagles
would love to be able to play
on their home lloor, where
they play very well. But the
obstacle is a bunch of Tigers
who are set on proving all the
early experts wrong and win a
fifth straight regional cro\\ n.
S heldon Clark. who has
regrouped since all the "sick"
have returned health). \\ 111 face
Dann) Adams and the
Magoffin Count\ Hornets. the
two seed. With the Cardinals
playing well. this could very
\\ell be the best first round
game in the region. lf Harley
H ammond is on. then the
Cardinals will be in the championship game against e1ther
Johnson Central or Paints\ ille.
But Magoflin is a solid ball
club as well and will have to
play a strong game to subdue
the Cards.
All four teams in the boys
57th arc ranked in the top team
in the r\!gional ratings. No
doubt. this district will be the
toug hest to play in and
whichever t\\ o teams come out
will have a shot at being
regional ch<mlpions as \\·ell.

GOBBLE R SEASO N
OPENS SOON
For the third year in a row. e\ery
county m Kentucky will be open for
the spring turkey hunting season.
Opening on Monda). April 12.
Kentucky's gobbler season look-.
promismg.
Kentucky Turkey Program
Coordinator George Wright said,
"We may not set a record this year,
but the forecast of the spring turkey
season looks good."
The poor hatch in 1997 means
there will not be as many two-yearold gobblers in the population as
last spring. However, reproduction
for 1998 was good, so there will be
a lot of juvenile gobblers, or jakcs.
This means jakes will likely make
up <1 larger percent of the spring
harvest than usual. But keep in
mind that jakes arc not nearly as
vulnerable to hunting as adults in
the spring. The good news is that
this year's surviving jakes will be
adults during the spring 2000 hunt.
Based on turkey pcm1it sales,
approximately 54,000 hunters participated in Kentucky's spring gobbler season last year. The known
legal statewide spring harvest for
199g was 17.700 birds, nearly a
seven percent increase from the previous gobbler season. Hunters
enjoyed a success rate of 33 percent
for the spring season. This is considered \Cry good for turkey hunting.
The top ten counties for turkey
harve~t during the 1998 spring season were: Muhlenberg, 729: Butler.
674: Ohio, 651; Hart, 355:
Crittenden. 337: Adair, 323: Logan,
313; Hardin. 310; Hopkins, 310:
Cumberland, 304.
In addition to these top counties.
69 counties ead1 had a harvest of
over I 00 birds. This is quite an
improvement from the spring harvest in 1990, when just one county
had a harvest over I00.
Not only arc harvest numbers up,
but the number of turkey hunters in
Kentuck) 1s also on the rise. Since
1990. there has been an average
increase of 20 percent in participation in turkey hunting. So grab your
shotgun and sec what all the excitement's about! Turkey season is just
around the corner.

Bo)·s J>re-tournament notes:
• The biggest disappointment
comes from the boys' 60th

h ave \\on but five games this

• The surprise team a lso
comes from the 60th District in
F edsCreek where the Vikings
h ave had a great season and
cou ld very well be a dark horse
over there.
• T he P helps llomets lead
the 60th District standings a nd
arc a favorite to capture the
6 0th District.
• As expected. P ikeville is
the lop seed in the boys' 59th
D istrict. T he Pan t h~.:rs face
Millard in the first round w h ile
She lby Valley a nd P ike Central
meet.
• At home. Preston sburg will
be looking for a fo urth straight
district championship in the
58th.
• Upset possibilities: Johnson
Central over Paintsville (57th);
South Floyd over Prestonsburg:
Betsy Layne over Allen Central
(58th); Belfry surprising Phelps
(60th ). Don't say. 'it will never
happen.'
SCHEDULE CHANGE

U.S. Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers
(KY 5) has announced that a 50foot 12 ton "skimmer boat" is
under construction at the direction
of the U.S. Army Corps of
Eng ineers and will be dispatched
as earl y as March to remove trash
and debris from the surface of
Pike County's Fishtrap Lake and
other. eastern Kentucky waterways.
"One of the most important
aspects of the Eastern Kentucky
PRIDE program ts the clean up of
our area's waterways our
.-;treams. rivers and lakes." Rogers
said today "A good example of
the need for thb cleanup is at
Fishtrap Lake. which is cluttered
with trash and other debris.
"A few years ago, 1 told the
Corps of Engineers about a skimmer boat that goes along the water
picking up trash and even noating
logs Today, that boat ts under
construction and we're expecting
it to be launched sometime in the
middle of next month. l believe it
will go a long way toward our goal
of c leaning up Fishtrap and it will
help clean up other lakes in eastern Kentucky. too It comes with a
trailer which will allow it to be
moved to other sites."
Rogers says the 2-pontoon
skimmer boat is being constructed
on behalf of the lJ.S. Army Corps
of Engineers at a cost of $376.000.
The 50-foot craft will collect and
remove floaung drift and debris up
to a depth of 30 inches below the
surface, including concentrated
debns found in shallow coves.
Grapple arms and hooks enable
the skimmer boat operator to han
die wooden logs up to 50 feet long
and up to 48 inches in diameter.
The boat includes a conveyor to
off-load collected debris from the
vessel into an awaiting truck or
container. Rogers says he plan!> to
be at Fishtrap Lake when the
skimmer boat is finall> dedicated.
"The cleanup of our waterways
is one step forward in helping us
promote our area as a Mecca for
tourism." Rogers said. 'The skimmer boat vv ill help us get that job
done. And I've even suggested a
name for the boat to the Corps of
Engineers. I think it should be
called the 'Eastern Kentucky
PRIDE."'

Sunday.
A dosing duel between "The
Kid" in the rainbow colored No.
24 and "The Intimidator" 10 the
black No. 3 was set when Bobby
Hamilton , driver of the No. 4
Kodak Monte Carlo lost control
on the backstretch of lap 175 of
the 200 lap race. During the caution period, Earnhardt was the
only driver on the lead lap to take
on four fresh tires.
As the teams returned to the
track with 17 laps remaining,
Gordon was fifth and Earnhardt
was three places back in eighth.
Within one lap. Earnhardt had
passed Gordon and moved into
third place. On lap 189. Gordon
moved underneath Earnhardt and
leader, Rusty Wallace to take over
the lead.
For the last five laps there were
five other cars, all in a string, trying to catch and pass Gordon.
They were Earnhardt, Michael
Waltrip No. 7, Ken Schrader No.
33, Kenny Irwin No. 28 and Mike
Skinner No. 31 .
Earnhardt closed several times

Sports Editor
Ryan Martin drained three threepoint baskets in scoring 20 points
to lead the Prestonsburg freshman
baske tball team to a 40-38 win over
Sheldon Clark last week. Matt
Turner added seven points and had
a three-point basket.
Prestonsburg held a 9-8 frrst
quarter lead with Martin sinking
two three-point baskets while scoring seven points in the first period.
Turner had two in the first period.
Both teams struggled in the second quarter with Prestonsburg
outscoring the Cardinals 5-3 to lead
14-11 at the half. Thmer hit his trey
in the second quarter and Martin
had two points. Martin and Turner
scored all 14 of Prestonsburg's

spoiler. His last try came as the
cars exited tum four on the 200th
lap. but he didn't quite have the
power without a drafting partner.
"We had ignition problems earlier, but it came back later," said
Earnhardt. "I wanted to work with
Skinner, but he couldn't get up to
where he could help me. I just
couldn't do it. I got beat."
Gordon and crew chief, Ray
Evernham picked right up where
they left off last year in the season-ending NAPA 500 at Atlanta
- in victory lane.
"This is a dream come true,"
Gordon said. "To race Dale like
that and win is awesome. I want to
thank him for a great race. The
only way I could beat him today
was using what he taught me Man
we had a miracle today. I can't
believe lt."
Kenny Irwin, driver of Robert
Yates' No. 28 Havoline Taurus finished in third, a career-high for
him. Earlier in the race, Irwin may
have bumped his teammate Dale
Jarrett on lap 123 that touched off
a ten-car wreck.
"The cars had gotten bunched
up and I backed off a little,"
Jarrett said. "I knew there was
somebody back there but I didn't
know who it was, and I got tapped
a little bit . We had a good race car
but it's not what we had planned."
Other cars involved in the
wreck were Geoffrey Bodine,
Ward Burton, Steve Park, Sterling
Marlin, Joe Nemechek, Mark
Martin, Rich Bickle, Elliott
Sadler, Terry Labonte, Ward
Burton and Ricky Rudd. Most of
them did not return to the track.
Gordon' s total earnings for
winning the Daytona 500 and
Winston No-Bull Bonus were over
two-million dollars. He is the first
driver to win the Daytona 500
from the pole since Bill Elliott did
it in 1987.
for them.
After seeing their primary car,
the No. 55 Square D Monte Carlo
destroyed in Thursday' s Twin 125
qualifying race, the team went to
work preparing the car he ran in
the Bud Shootout for last
SlUlday's Daytona 500.
"It wasn' t an easy task," said
crew chief Jimmy Elledge. "We
basically took that Bud Shootout
car apart after the race and put it
in the truck, thinking that in the
worst case scenario it would be
there if we needed it."
Well, they needed it Friday
about noon.
"We used the Bud Shootout as
kind of a preliminary test for the
Daytona 500," continued Elledge.
"We took the setup from the Bud
Shootout car and put it in our
Daytona 500 car. But we lost that
car, so we took the stuff directly
out of the 500 car and put it back
in the Bud Shootout car."
Wallace had qualified 33rd for
the Daytona 500, but he had to
start from the tail-end of the field
(43rd) after resorting to the backup car. But the team's bad luck
didn't end there. Wallace lost an
engine on lap 93 of the 200-lap
event and would up 42nd.
"This was not the way we
wanted to start the season out,"
Wallace said. " Obviously, we
would have like to done better, but
we learned a lot and we' ll be
ready for Rockingham. No, the
team didn't have a lot of fun."

Randy LaJoie had a disappointing 1998 season, but the two-time

Daytona, Saturday, February 13.
LaJme led 61 of the 120 laps

out 12 cars, but the last one commg at the start o f lap 120 was the
most spec tacular.

LaJo ie had left BRACE

the end of last season and moved
to Phoenix Motorsports, o wned by
James Finch.
"We' re in victory lane, and it
doesn't get any bette r than this,"
said LaJo ie. "You always question
your decisions about what yo u

Last season was supposed to
be a breakout year for Mike
Skinner
and
his
Richard
Childress' Lowe's team. After all,
he was coming off a season that
saw him win the Rookie of the
Year honors. During that '97
rookie campaign he made history
by being the only rookie to ever
win both poles at Daytona. He
also captured the year-ending
exhibition race held in Suzuka,
Japan.
Skinner felt his team had the
JDOmentum entering last season to
set off to a good start and battle
for a top ten spot in the points
battle. The year did start like that
\With an eighth place finish in the
1Daytona 500. In fact it was his
drafting help near the end of the
race that helped his fellow
Childress driver, Dale Earnhardt,
to win his first ever 500.
Although the season was off to
a flying start for both teams, the
fortunes soon turned sour as both
teams were having problems
qualifying and finishing. After
several weeks of struggling on the
track, Childress made one of the
boldest moves an owner has ever
had to make.
It was mid season and
Childress decided to swap the
crew chief roles of Kevin Hamlin
and
Larry
McReynolds .
McReynolds
had
guided
Earnhardt's Daytona win, while
Hamlin was in charge of the
struggling Lowe's Monte Carlo.
The switch paid off almost
immediately for Skinner and
McReynolds. The two found that
their styles meshed easily togeth·
er and the results started to show
up on the track as the schedule
moved past the halfway point.
Winston Cup is a result-oriented sport and the results that this
new duo were putting up on the
board each and every Sunday
soon started to catch the eye of
the competition. Beginning with
the first New Hampshtre race.!
Skinner put together finishes that,
included a fifth at Loudon, aJ
fourth in the Brickyard 400, 3j
third at Watkins Glen, and a third
under the lights of Daytona in the
fire delayed Firecracker 400.
Although there wasn't a win
included in the finishes, it did
show the team had turned the season around and, more importantly, it started some momentum
that, hopefully, would carry over
to this season. Adding to the
already newly-earned momentum
was a second straight win for the
team in Japan. This time it was on
the mile and a half oval at
Montegi. This win saw him hav-
ing to baule Jeff Gordon, Jeff
Burton, and Jeremy Mayfield as
the laps counted down.
As a fonner Craftsman Truck
Series champion, Skinner no
doubt possessed the skills to win
in a race car, but in this case he
needed a veteran crew chtcf to
help mold the skills necessary to
help him run up front . In
McReynolds,. Skinner had the
ultimate teacher with a proven
record of working with a young
driver.
McReynolds has been winning
races and poles. II wins, and
helped him to win back-to-back
Winstons in 1991-92.
McReynolds' recipe for success is very simple: he will just
out work the competition. To
Childress ' credit he knew that the
Lowe's team was in need of a
leader who would not only
demand their best but wouldn't
ssgg
settle for anything but their best.
The Lowe's team believes in

The Lady Hornets doubled the
score, 14-7, on a Fannin lay-in. The
Lady Hornets displayed great ball
movement at the onset. Devon
Stiltner, point guard, had four assists
in the first period.
After trailing 6-5, Betsy Layne
watched as Phelps went on an 8-2 run
to lead 14-7. The Lady Hornets held a
24-14 lead after the first period.
Phelps scored eight points off
,. turnovers.
The Lady Cats continued the second quarter much the same as the
first, not handling the basketball. The
passes were not sharp and no one was
coming to meet the ball, allowing
Mercer and Fannin to pick off passes
for easy baskets. Leading by seven,
the Lady Hornets went on a 15-4 run
that netted them a 41-23 advantage at
the half. Betsy Layne had seven
turnovers in the second quarter.
Baskets by Sheena Akers and two
Hall free throws to open the third
period made it a 14-point game, 41~ 27. Betsy Layne played very well in
the third period in taking care of the
basketball and also on offense. The
Lady Cats narrowed the large Phelps'

Renee Maynard scored the final five
points for Phelps for a 51-47 lead

Again, the Lady Cats were not

COMME~'T: Excellent points.
UK's oflcnsc ha" roen predictable and
with consistent perimeter offense in
decline. Tubby Smitll began to emphasize pushing the ball in~ide for better
percentage shots. This has amounted to
a no confidence volr.: in UK's perimeter
shooters. And tllat'~ what Wildcat fans
are getting, hurried and at times off balance no confidence shooting.

He~ are the facts. Saul's assist-toturnover ration is far better tllan

Betsy Layne Elementary
MiddleSchool academic team
by. Vossic Tu~kett and
Kayla Case
Mr~. Rodriguez's fourth
grade Social Studies class of
Betsy Layne Elementary
raised money to take a field
trip to Fr.tnkfort.
The fourth grade Social
Studieo;; class made a United
State~ of America quilt. We
did research for about a
week on state flags. populations, and capitals. Two students were assigned to one
state. We worked with pieces
of material that represented
our state and labeled the
state name and capital.
Mrs. Rodriguez and Anita
Rogers helped us with the
project. Mrs. Rogers sewed
the states on the quilt.
We had a drawing on
October 30, 1998 to give
away the quill. Kimberly
Lawson was the winner. We
have a nice picture of our
quill that will be in the yearbook, also.
We
enjoyed learning
about our states and looking
forward
to
going

Tree honors deceased
OLW volunteers, staff
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
Volunteers at Our Lady of the
Way Hospital in Martin are
remembering the hosp1tal's volunteers and staff through a Memorial
Tree.
The wooden tree is attached to
a wall in the hospital's emergency
room waiting area. It holds small
plaques that contain the names of
deceased employees of the hospital.
The tree contains 69 names,
and there are at least 20 more
names and plaques to be added to
the tree, according to hospital volunteer Waneta Newsome, who has
worked at the hospital si nce its
inception.
Newsome, Paul ine Wallace,
and Kathy Lafferty and her husba nd worked at various fund-raisers for seven years to purchase the
tree and the plaques. Newsome
said Lafferty's husband washed
cars to raise money for the volunteers. Donations were sought from
various businesses. Bake sales
were also held once a week until
the group had raised enough funds
to purchase the tree. Newsome
said.
The volunteers purchased the
tree and placed it on the wall three
years ago. Since then. names have
been added. Some families have
also placed memorials on the tree
in honor of their deceased relatives, Newsome said.
As Newsome looked at the tree,
she pointed out various name.
such as Dr. J .A. Stumbo, one of
the first names to be put on the
tree, and Ed ith Jame!., who
worked in the laboratory and was
killed in a car acc1dent.
Newsome e ncouraged hospital
visitors to stop and look at the tree
and remember OLW employees
who played an important role in
health care for the community.
whether it was physictans and
nurses who applied the healing
touch or maintenance workers
who kept the hospital clean and
sanitized.
I suppose if there's one
thing I've learned from writing (for the past 15 years)
about growing up in an
Eastern Kentucky coal camp,
it's that we weren't us unique
as I first thought we were.
Oh, we've got our ways,
there's no doubt about that.
Our culture is solely ours in
many respects. but I've discovered that some of our
ideas arc more universal than
I first trnagined. For instance.
I v.as discussing some oldtime remedies with an old
gentleman who grew up in
east Texas. and he told me
that when he was a boy his
mother would soak a piece of
bread in a saucer of milk, then
apply it as a poultice to ease
the pain of a minor bum.
I told him that our primary
treatment for such an affliction was a paste made from
baking soda and water. But,
quite naturally, the conversation then turned to bread and
milk as a meal. That's when I
quickly learned that he, too.
had enjoyed eating that combination. as he put it. "many's
the ttme."
For some reason. r d
always thought that milk and
bread was strictly ours. and
it's funny, but I can't recall
eating milk and bread except
in the winter time. I can't
imagine why it should have
been constdcred a coldweather meal. like vegetable
soup or chili. but I can still see
my little brother Joe and me
when we were four or five
years old huddled in front of
the open· grated fire. each
with a big bowl or cornbread
and buttem1ilk cradled m one
arm as we shoveled it in with
the other.
I don't knov. about Joe and
the man from Texas. but to
this day I still love to cmmble
cornbread into a glass and
cover it with ice-cold buttermilk.
Like I said, though. this
was, for some reason. for us a
winter-time meal. In the summer months, our lunches were
usually bologna or egg sandwiches ... always served with
Kooi-Aid. I liked grape and
Joe liked oranfe. so mom
usuall y took a day about fixing the two navors. I guess it
wasn't practical to make both
at t h~: same time because.
unlike today. it took about a
cup of sugar to make a quart.
The man from east Texas
said he also ate a lot of
bologna. but he always fried it
first. Now fried bologna is
great. but there v.. as also
something extra spectal about
a thick slah (along v. tth four
or five fresh crackers) direct
from the meat counter at the
company store.
Another thing the old
Texan talked about was how
much he enjoyed rabbi t hunting when he was a boy. He
said he ate an a\'- ful lot of rabbit when he "' as growing up.
That. like the milk and bread.

Alcohol and Its etTcct on the
drinker and his/her family arc well
known in our region. A<> "guessed''
before. alcohol is probabl) the substance of choice for mo"t addicts of
eastern Kentucky with a high rate
of usage. For example, during one
admission, seven of dght male
patients in a private psychiatric
hospital in Lexington were from
our area. Although most everyone
has been repeatedly exposed to
alcoholism. hopefully today's dis
cussion will include ":;omething"
that will catch someone 's attention,
help him/her to recognize alcohol
abuse and/or dependency in himself and/or others. and will lead to

a positive impact on opiniom. about
alcoholic~.
No~ for some straight facts
about alcohol. Alcohol abuse is a
pattern of problem drinking that
may cause health and social problems. However, alcohol dependence, or alcoholism, refers to a
disease where having alcohol is the
focus of the iodjvidual's attention
with a lack of
gering. odor of alcohol on the
breath. los~ of coordination, slurred
speech with dilated pupils,
impaired judgment. and altered
perceptions
and
emotions.
Indicators of possible extreme
intake of alcohol can be confusion,
disorientation, loss of motor nerve
control, convulsions, shock, shallow respirauons, involuntary deec-
l
tation. drowsiness, respiratory
depression, and possible death.
Withdrawal from the extended and
excessive use of alcohol can also
produce serious symptoms. such as
sweating. tremors. altered perceptions. psychosis. fear. and auditory
hallucinations. Remember the
drunks' stories of seeing butterflies
and bugs crawling?
A big medta crusade recently
has been that of Never Drive after
Drinking. since the relationship
between alcohol and motor vehicle
crashes is widely acknowledged. In
1993. 40 percent of the 5,905 traffic fatalities of 15-to-20 year olds
were alcohol related. Our neighborhoods know too weJI the pain
caused by the combination of alcohol and dnving, especially from the
death of our young folks driving
while drunk. In many states, the
legal limit for Driving Under the
Influence is .08 percent Blood
Alcohol Concentration. Don't forget. Impairment Begins With Your
First Drink! One drink i-, 1.25
ounce of 80 proof liquor, 12 ounces
of beer. or 5 ounces of table wine:
after two to four drinks your driving skills are significantly affected; up to six, you may receive possible
criminal
penalties;

e
drinks may contain different
amounts of alcohol, so it's important to know how much and the
concentration of alcohol you consume. A woman drinking an equal
amount of alcohol in the same period of time as a man of an equivalent weight may have a higher level
blood alcohol level than that of the
man.
Besides the frequency of death
while driving, alcohol often causes
illnesses and deaths in other ways.
In 1995, there were more than
20,000 alcohol-induced deaths in
the U.S., not including motor vehicle fatalities. More than 38 percent
of drownings are alcohol-related.
In the beginning. a loss of appetite

proper nutrition vitamin deficiencies appear.
Other conditions arise. such as
stomach ailments. skin problems,
and memory loss. Excessive drinking can decrease the amount of
testosterone in a man's body and
cause impotence. Alcohol abuse
can lead to both homicides and suicides. There are more than 25,000
deaths in the U.S. each year from

the U.S. in 1996. In the degenera-
tions, then you need to
seriously examine your
patterns of behaviors and alcohol
intake. Is drinking making your
home-life unhappy? Is drinking
causing you financial problems or
jeopardizing your job? Do you
promise to limit yourself, then
drink more than you imended? Do
you forget things you said or did
while drinking? Do you drink to
escape from worries or troubles or
to relieve stress. shyness, or insecurity? Do you ever drink alone?
Have you or others noticed a
change in your personality-turning from Dr. Jckyl to Mr. Hyde? Do ~
you "reward" yourself with a
drinking bout after working hard or
completing a project? Does a
"good" time have to include alcohol? Do you buy alcohol at different places so no one will know how
much you buy? If you are concerned about yourself or someone
else. do something now. Remember
the old saying. "It is not a sin to not
know you are in the wrong, but it is
a sin if you don't do something
when you do know.''

NEW BABY GIRL
There's a new baby girl in
Auxier. Her name is Mariana
Victoria Jacobs, the daughter of Joe
Byron and MaShawna Jacobs, born
January 31. She's another one of
those first babies. the first born to
her parents who were themselves
first babies in their own families.
She's also a first grandchild to
two couples who think she's the
greatest thing they've seen. They
are Paul and Ramona Aiken of
Prestonsburg, and Joe and Beatrice
Jacobs of Stanville. Paul is the minister of Emma Methodist Church
and Ramona teaches at the Allen
Elementary school.
Joe is Risk Manager for Electric
Fuels with headquarters in St.
Petersburg, Florida, and has an
office in Stanville. Beatrice doesn't
have a title but she is involved with
more projects than 1 could cover in
a page. She is church clerk and hospitality chairman for Calvary
Baptist Church in Betsy Layne and
chief volunteer for a multitude of
causes.
Someone called the Jacobs' in
Auxier a few days ago to ask how
the new baby was doing and Joe
Byron said, "The baby is doing
fine. It's the grandmothers we're
most concerned about now." It
seems that Ramona and Beatrice
are having a little trouble coming
down to earth. Maybe if they had to
get up for the midnight feedings
and diaper changes a few times. it
would help them resign them to
their new status.
Anyway, little Mariana is a real
joy and we wish them all a lot of
happy days as they care for her and
watch her grow.
IN THE MAIL
We're always glad to hear from
people who look forward to our
paper. Once in a while that correspondence gets directed to me as in
the case of a letter this week from
Chalmer Williams who lives in
Baltimore, M.D. He said, "You
sometimes write about people who
are familiar to me, and I would like
to send a hello to those who
remember me."
Chalmer was one of eight chil-
Briefs
dren born to Noah and Nora
Williams and grew up in Jvel. near
where the Wendell Stratton family
Jives now. In fact, the Wilhams' and
Stratton's were both big families
who were good friends and neighbors for years. The young people
walked the swinging bridge together to catch the school bus that
would take them to school in Betsy
Layne.
During those growing up years,
too. Chalmer was a good friend of
my two older brothers when we
lived at Banner. They had guitars
and other instruments and practiced
their music during all hours at our
house. They even formed their own
band that would have included Lum
Click. and they would travel all the
way to Williamson WV to play on a
radio station. That was a long way
to drive in those days to do a program. and we at home would listen
to them a'> though we hadn't heard
them play and sing for half the
night.
After graduation from high
school, Chalmer went into the U.S.
Navy and, though I don't know
where he was sent, 1 know he had
several overseas assignments. After
World War 11 had ended and he
returned home, he married his
beautiful June Elswick and they
moved to Baltimore. They raised
two sons. Jeff and Mike, and had
five grandchildren. June passed
away in October and. though
Chalmer has had a difficult time
adjusting, he also has many beautiful memories to enjoy.
One of those memories is of a
cold January day when he and June
stood in the living room of the Rev.
Isaac Stratton at Banner to be married by him. Just mentioning this
kindly old minister brings warm
memories to me also. for he also
performed our wedding ceremony
and was a special friend to so many
of us.
I'd say that, if someone started a
club of couples who were married
by Rev. Isaac Stratton, it would
take a lot of bookkeeping to record
all the names.
Your letter was a pleasure,
Chalmer. and thanks for writing.

Skills for solo parents: p lay with your children
Play can be a wonderful tool for single parents to use for building strong. healthy relationships with their children. When you play with
your children, you are putting yourself into their
world. Children like having their parents there!
Play has been descnbed as a child's work. It
is an essential part of his or her overall development. It is as important to a young child as your
job is to you. Play gives children a fun way to
learn skills that will prepare them for adulthood.
Play also motivates children and teaches
cooperation and trust. It builds a child's selfesteem, sense of independence. and self-sufficiency. It gives children the chance to get to
know themselves, their world, and people
around them. Even as children grow into the
teenage years and beyond, play continues to be
important.
There are many delightful ways to play with
your duldrcn. Here arc some idea-starters:
• Play board games. They're fun and also a
good way to teach children how to par attention
and take turns. Board games can also teach children that winning and losing aren't the most
important things in life. They show that how you
play and how much you enjoy yourself are much
more important.
• If you have more than one child, chances are
they do not all like to play the same games. requests. Encourage your child to develop other

"It was very fortunate for me to

Arthritis not
just for elderly
Babies
get
arthritis?
Absolutely-and it can change their
whole lives. Arthritis is commonly
thought of as a diseao;e of the elderly, but an estimated 285,000 children experience the daily pain and
limitations of arthritis-that's more
than juvenile diabetes or cerebral
palsy.
As Juvenile Arthritis Awareness
Week approaches, March 1-7, the
Arthritis FoundatiOn is focusing
attention on this disease impact on
kids. Juvenile arthrists is one of the
most prevalent chronic 1llnesses
among children.
Arthritis can make childhood a
series of uphill battles. Childhood
actlvities that many of us take for
granted like learning to walk, write
or ride a bicycle become nearly
impossible. In addition, it can cause
eye problems, affect oral health and
development and e't'en growth.
As with other forms of arthritis
(there are more than 100 types).
early diagnosis and proper treatment
can minimize the effects of juvenile
arthritis. Unfortunately. diagnosis
may be delayed because parents
lack awareness or education about
the disease-sometimes mistaking
joint pain as "growing pains."
Brochures, books, videos and
listing of programs (support groups,
warm-water and self-help courses)
are available for children and adult.s.

A Prestonsburg man died following a two-car accident yesterday afternoon on KY 114 near the entrance to
Frasure's Apartments. Ronnie Cordle reportedly was pronounced dead after being airlifted to Highlands
Regional Medical Center. The driver of the other car, Don Whitaker of Lexington, was treated and released at
the hospital, according to an emergency room spokesperson. The accident, which occurred around 3 p.m.,
caused traffic to be backed up for a couple of miles in each direction. Few details concerning the accident
were available yesterday. (photos by Willie Elliott)
2nd entry to complex to be closed
by Willie Elliott
Staff Writer
The Floyd Counry J;Iouo;ing
Authority voted to close one of the
access roads to the Left Berl\·er
Creek Townhouses complex at
~tinnie during Wednesda) '" special
meeting at the Green Acres office in
Prestonsburg.
Anna Howell. director of the
Left Beaver Creek center. said that
driver~ are using the two entrances
to ''cruise'' the center.
"The drivers come in one
entrance and out the other and
sometimes drive in an unsafe manncr and nrc out and gone before
they can be asked to dnve more
responstbly.'' she said.
She cited a recent incident m
which a dri\·er was driving on the
sidewalk very near the hou.,ing
units.
The commissioner gave their
appro\ al for a gate or other temporary dcvtce that Y.Ould solve the
problem. Howell said se\ eral tenants of the project had asked about
clo:-.ing one of the entr.mces, but no
one had 'oiccd opposition to the
idea.
Apparently, some resident of
Wayland have been uc;ing public
roads and railroad trdcks to bum
their garbage. and the city commission wants the practice to
stop.
Commissionen; discus ed the
possibility of drafting an ordinance outlawing burning trash on
public
property
during
Wednesday night's meeting,
which had been moved up from
the regularly-scheduled Thursday
meeting time
However, the possibility that a
state or county law against such
burning already exists kept the
commissioners from taking governmental action. Commissioner
Tim Stephens said he would
research whether a broader law

"Thts butlding belongs to the

violated the law against the people
of Kentucky," Allen told Endicott
during the arraignment.
The judge said he wants the people of Floyd County to know this
type of bcha' tor will not be tolerat-
ed.
Allen satd, ''It is bad enough that
people urc involved in illegal drugs,
but it is worse that tl would happen
in the Justtcc Center."
Endicott is lodged in the r1oyd
County Detention Center.
BIackburn-In hts letter to the Commission,
Bartley said that, as a clerical worker. Blackburn's employment "runs
concurrent w1th the term of the
interim sheriff and "in my opinion
.... Blackburn was an at wtll
employee ... and continues to be an
at will employee."
He also said that if Blackburn
"were employed as a deputy 1t
would be a clear violauon of the
Floyd County Ethics Code."
"However, it is my understand·
ing that Ms. Blackburn was origi·
nally employed as a clerk for the
former
Sheriff
Thompson.
Therefore, I believe that KRS
70.030 (3) and the obligat1ons of
the Kentucky Law Enforcement
Funds to the situation at hand, sim·
ply do not apply. They would only
have an effect if in fact Ms.
Blackburn wa:; a deputy.''
At Tuesday's meeting. members
of the commission asked Pam
Blackburn and her attorney if she
had been sworn in to work at the
Sheriff':; office.
"The new law (said you hnd to
be) grandfathered in or had to be a
deputy," Pam Blackburn satd.
'They swore me in at that time ...
and I d1d become a deputy.''
The new Jaw she referred to concerned 16 weeks of training that
potential employees have to undergo before they can begin their
t:mployrncnt.
When comm1ss1oner Peggy
Bradford asked if every employee
of the sheriff's office had to be
sworn in, Blackburn responded,
saytng. "Anyone who had to avo1d
16 weeks of training had to be
sworn in."
Her husband, John K. added
that only dispatchers were not
sworn in.
Rowland said that Thompson's
hiring of Pam Blackburn was
"strictly legal." He added that she is
a valuable asset in the sheriff's
office and needed to be sworn in
because she often asststs w1th
women prisoners.
Rowland said that Blackburn
has worked 32 days without pay
due to the Commission's failure to
make a decision on the tssue and
his client wa' getting tired of wait·
in g.
"There wouldn't be a problem 1f
they were fnends, lovers or
divorced," the attorney said
Blackburn's attorney said the
ethics ordinance dtd not define
nepoli:.m.
"Nepotism is just hiring somebody not quahfied. It doesn't have
anythmg to do wtth relatives 10 my
opinion," he satd.
He referred to various court
cases involving the dismissal of
employees by newly-elected officials. He said that those employees
had to be rehired.
Commtssioner Bradford asked
Rowland if those cases snvolvcd
relatives hired by the officials, and
he said "no."
"If she's terminated. it has 10 he
for poliucal reason," Rowland said.
"Nepotism has to do with pohtu.:s.
To fire her would be politics. She's
not a paramour who got the JOb so
he could pay off hts girlfriend ..
She's someone he can trust."
Rowland said that Bartley's
opinton was "as good as the attorney general's opimon.''
''It just depends on whtch attor-
(Continued from page one)
ney gcnl!ral you talk to. It JUst does·
n'l mean anything," he said.
, Commissioner Lorena Hall said
she would vote to let Blackburn
keep her job.
"Why should she be the first?"
Hall said.
John Rosenberg, chair of the
commtsswn and director of
Appalachian Research and Defense
Fund, said that the county did not
have a merit protection system in
place and that Floyd County Judge·
Executive Paul Hunt Thompson
had replaced some employees.
"If they had a right of continuous employment. how could he Jet
people go'!'' Rosenberg questioned.
John K. Blackburn's allorney,
Jeny Patton. told the commissioner:; that the 1ssue is "a question of
fundamental fatrnC!-)."
"Is it fair to read thtngs in this
ordinance that isn't black and
white'?" he asked. "Let's get competent people in county government
and
keep
them
there."
He reiterated Bartley's opinion that
Blackburn's job ts ''a case of continuous employment. Rosenberg
disputed that claim, saying that the
depuues' tenure ended with the
sheriff's 'acating office.
"There's no doubt of Mrs.
Blackburn's competency. It's not
for us to decide whether a person is
competent or not. What (this commission) set out to do is to make
(the ethics code) stronger ... The
tdea is to do something about the
pnncipal of 11. The code speaks to
favoritiSm of employees (and not
about employees being more competent).'' Rosenberg said.
He pointed out a loophole in the
Ethics Code that the issue had
brought to the Commission's attention.
"The problem - what we have
to think about for future time - is
outgoing public officials' political
allies going to incumbents to ensure
their relatives are employed,"
Rosenberg said.
Commissioners seemed to concur with Rosenberg.
"We feel duty bound to support
the code. We're not going to gripe if
you want to go ahead and pay (Pam
Bli.ickburn)," Bradford told Sheriff
Blackburn. "We don't have the
authority to tell you not do that."
John K. Blackburn asked the
commissiOners what the difference
ts between Bartley's opmion and
the attorney general's opinton.
''In the county, there arc certain
polit1cal alliances - and I don't
even know 1f there 1s one (between
Blackburn and Bartley) - but the
(county attorneys) could have politu.:ul alliances," Bradford explained.
To veiled hints ol a lawsuit
agatnst
the
commtss1oncrs,
Rosenberg reminded the attorneys
that the Commission has the
authonty to issue a cease and desist
order and that takmg the tssue the
~ourts could result m a longer wall·
tng period than the attorney gcncr·
al's ruhng on the matter.
In other business at the meeting,
Bradford ccported that she hns writ·
ten letters regarding the tiling of
linanctal disclosure statements. She
sn1d admtmstrati\'e personnel of
poltucal offic1als must also file disclosure statements.
''If they have $500 purchasing
power, they must have one," she
s.ud.
However, Workforce 200 I, with
a price tag of more than $289,000
in anticipated federal and local
funding, is being developed by the
Big Sandy Area Development
District, in conjunction with
Prestonsburg Community College,
Morehead State University, Mayo
Technical College and Carl D.
Perkins Rehabilitation Center. to
put a glitch in the Bureau's projections.
The project aims to identify persons who have the potential to
meet the Bureau's stringent
employment requtrements and then
prepare them to be employed by
the new federal prison.
B1g Sandy ADD's Anne Chancy
has envistoned and outlined the
Workforce 2001 project, with input
from the state Department of
Employment Services and the area
educational institutions, to focus
on what the Bureau says 1t needs in
employees.
Likely candidates for prison
jobs are expected to be identified
in a six-county region - Floyd,
Martin, Johnson. Magoffin, Pike
and Lawrence - thts spring,
Chaney said. They will then go
through a rigorous asscs:.ment
process.
Evaluator!) wtli look at the
prospective employees' education·
al and work experience, assess
communicatwn skills - written
and oral, help them get a criminal
background check and a credit history, offer information on physical
fitness requirements and discuss
job requirements.
Those who are already clearly
competitive Will be g1ven cop1es ot
the Bureau's employment application and be told to "go for it."
Those who lack the educational
component of the Bureau's
requirements will be encouraged to
enroll in a postsecondary academic
degree program as soon as possible
so they can improve their chances
of being considered for the highpaying prison work.
Those who meet many of the
requirements, but need to improve
Wayland
their communicauon and interview
skills or who require credit and
budget counschng will be enrolled
in Workforce 2001 courses.
Communication ts obviously
important in prison work. as in
most other lines, and it ts stressed
by the Bureau of Prisons. The local
program, then. wtll include courses
to help prospective local employees:
• Enhanced Communication I
- a fancy way of puttmg the task
of boning up on writing skills. The
focus will be on the Bureau of
Prison's applil.:ation and will help
applicants with grammar, critical
th1nking. sentence structure. paragraph constructton - those clements that will help them communicate more effectively than most
people think Appalachian folk can.
• Enhanced Communication U
- designed to improve oral communication. Diction and grammar,
as well as non-verbal communication factor:>, will be addressed, so
that the applicants may be taken
more seriously instead of being
stereotyped because of their speech
patterns.
The Bureau, according to
Chancy, puts applicants through a
series of make-or-break interviews, signifying the need for
preparation in this area. The two
progressive courses arc
• Interviewing Skills I - one·
on-one interview settings, where
body language, e)·c contact and
appropriate responses are critical.
Applicants will take part in practice interviews that mimic the real
thing.
• lnternewmg .Sktlls U - group
interview selttngs in which the
applicant will be evaluated by several people, interacting among
themselves and with the interviewee. Critical thinking and responses to "what if' scenarios will be
practiced by the applicants.
Because close to 30 percent of
inmates m federal prisons are of
Hispanic descent. an applicant who
can communicate with those
inmates obvious!) has a step up.
Therefore, it makes sense that part
of thl· Workforce 200 I program i~
a course in
• Conversational Spanish designed to help potential pnson
employees be able to carry on a
baste conversation in the Spanish
language.
Tite communicatiOn and mtervic" ing courses "ill run four
hours a week for etght weeks each,
and the Spantsh class will go five
hours a week for 16 weeks. The
program is set up so that a serious
participant can complet~ all the
courses 10 16 weeks. Up to 25 par·
ticipants can be enrolled in a class.
Chancy expects the courses can be
repeated at least four times in the
next two years before the pnson
opens.
Inc program tS not free to participants. Students will pay $40 per
eight-week course. Thus, if a stu·
dent needs all fi, c classes in a session, he/she would pay $240,
wh1ch is a small fcc with the
prospect looming of a job that pays
$30,000 or better.
The student contribution is also
an important factor since the
Appalachian
Regional
Commtssion, \\ h1ch is expected to
provide more than $231,000 of the
project cost. requires local funding
parucipation.
According to Chaney. the target
of tht.: Workforce 2001 project is
that 80 percent of the employees at
the Honey Branch prison will he
"local hires" within two years of
start-up.
What she is hoping for now 1s
that qualified potentml prison
employees wtll enroll 10 the program and that by the time the
Bureau begins 1ts application and
interview process, it wiJI be able to
find the people it needs right here
at home.
The project, she said, has ·•one
clear performance evaluation how many of those jobs are filled
by local people."

She said that if the ctty sends the
new police officer to the police
academy for training, it has no
guidelines in place to keep him or
her from quitting and taking a higher-paying job soon after the officer
receives traimng.
Stapleton said she has talked
with Bob Leonard of the state
Department of Local Government,
who indicated that the city can bind
the police officer, by contract. to
his/her employment with the city
for a specified length of time following training.
The commissioners agreed that
such a contract needs to be in place,
but they put off a vote until the
mayor and Commissioner Mary
Murphy are 10 attendance.
Stapleton also alerted the commission that it needs to pass a budget amendment ordinance. because
of an unexpected tangible tax check
for $14,000 that it received from the
state. She explained that the check
in the past has generally been for
around $3,000, which is the current
budget amount for this tax category.
Comm1sstoners said they will
talk to local residents and discuss
ideas for using the money at the
next meeting.
A citizen in attendance at the
meeting suggested using the money
to fix sidewalks in the town, but
Robinson informed her that the city
cannot use the money for that purpose.
''The sidewalks belong to the
property owners.'' Robinson said.
"We learned a while back that we

can't use pubhc money to work on

Stapleton pointed out that when
Elk Hom Coal. which formerly
owned the town, sold the property
to individual purchac;ers, it "deeded
property up to the street."
The commissioners approved
requests from Kidd to attend two
workshops. one in Richmond on
handling asset forfeitures and the
other in Frankfort on writing grants
to secure fundtng for highway safety. He satd the workshops are free,
and he wtll usc his own vehicle and
pay for his own meals.
Commissioner Stephens also
volunteered to do research on telephone packages that would allow
set rates for regional calls and to
present his findmgs at the next
meettng.
Stapleton informed the commisston that she has received a map of
the city from the Property Valuauon
Assessment office. The map, she
said, will help in assessing taxes.
Stapleton abo read a Jetter from
the
Department
of Local
Government which accepted the
ctty's audtt report for the new com·
munity center, acknowledged that
the city has met all requirements,
and closed out the building grant
project.
Kidc.l presented his arrest repon
for January wh1ch included 30
arrests, ranging from dnvmg without 10surance to alcohol intoxication.
The next regular commission

In Ulhocating approval of his higher education reform
package, Gov. Paul Pauon challenged the University of Kentuck) to become recognized as one of the nation's top research universities by 2020. From early indications. UK
could meet that challenge considerably ahead of schedule.
A new national survey not only shows that UK is fast becoming one of the nation's more successful schools when it
comes to turning faculty research into new products for the
public. but it also shows thi.! advantages of that research for
both the school and the .'>late it serves.
New vaccines for hdrses und eye-disease treatments developed by faculty members brought the university more
than $2.5 million in payments in 1997 from the companies
licensed to usc them.
That ranks the school 21st among public universities and
34th among all research univcrsitills, according to the most
recent survey by the national Association of Univers1ty
Technology Managers.
UK received 12 patent!\ in 1997, 21 in 1998 and four so
far this year.
"Facuh) \\ho create ne\\ drug!'> or new technologies
... trengthen the university. add to its reputation." said UK's
Joe Fink. associate vice president for research and graduate
studies. 'They arc the ones who attract the federal funding
and the top students."
Kentucky has had several successes with its faculty's research. Phannacy professor Anwar Hussain created a
method to deliver some 35 different drugs via nasal :o,pray.
One of the drugs, a prescription painkiller called Butorphanol, has received Food and Drug Administration apprm al and is distributed by Bristol Myers Squibb.
Ophthalrnology researchers Thomas Smith and Paul Ashton dl.!vcloped an implant to treat eye diseases that lead to
blindness. It also has received I•DA approval and is distributed hy Chiron.
Most of the revenue earned from faculty technologies
goes hack to the professor and the university research program.
Kentucky gives 40 percent of the royalties to the professor nnd 20 percent each to the professor's department and
college and the UK Research Foundation. which oversees
commercialization efforts.
The money generated from faculty research can. in tum.
be used to fund more research and to attract more top-rank
researchers to a school. Universities that are known for their
research attract top students.
So what's the benefit for the state as a whole? It's no accident that some of the states with the most prosperous
economies - North Carolina, Michigan and California, for
example- abo arc home to some of the nation·:. best research institutions Having a top-notch research university
boosts a state's economy. - Tire Daily Independent, Ashland

Despite the re~ent tragic shootings that have occutTed at schools across the country, here's a cold,
hard fact that is as astonishing as it is sad: U.S. chil
dren arc still much safer in school than they are at
home.
The most up-to-date studies have found 20 to 30
students arc killed each year by guns while attending
school. While th1s is intolerable in and of itself, it
pales-unfortunately when compared to what
man> children face at home. Accordmg to the U.S.
Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect. 2,000
to 3.000 children and youths are murdered each year
by parents or caretakers. a toll that clear!) is rising.

Leigh Ann Honshell Maynard at
McDowell ARH called early
Monday morning. "How can I help
you'?" she asked - words we all
hear too seldom any more and
which most of us rarely use, if truth
be told.
She found out that the physi' cians at the ARH Clinic are
approved for the newspaper's insurance and asked if I could see a doctor that day. Stunned. I said yc!>. and
within a couple of minutes she was
back with me to say I had an
appointment \\ ith Dr. Pajel that
same afternoon.
I cannot praise h1m too highly
for his calming and gentle manner,
for hi:> openness and his willingness
to share information with me, and
for making me feel better.
I could not have asked for more
caring, more friendly treatment by
the women who work in the reception/records area. by Frieda the
nurse, by the doctor. or by the people in the pharmacy. They all treated me like a real person. not anumber or an illne~s Nobod) tried to
hustle me through like an item on
an assembly hne.
Marketing is a major thrust for
most hospitals these days. They arc
all clamoring for our husincss. and
too many pay little attentiOn to us
after they get it.
What Leigh Ann did wa:. the
very best kind of marketing any
business can dn. She helped me.
and she and her colleagues won me
over. And l don't care to let other
people know about il. l lurray for
McDowell ARH.
families. as communities, tts a state
and as a nation.
We arc each responsible for our
neighbor's children. We rise or t~tl l
together. Your personal time as a
volunteer with children is needed.
and your personal financial gift in
supporr of an agency to serve children is also needed.
While government has a major
role, it is not to lead. Government
must follow our lead; and \\hen we
bcgm to insist that our children
should be safe in <>chool and at
home. then and only then, government will make that a priorit).
ln the daily work of the
Buckhorn Children's Foundation,
it's the hl'aling of an mdividual bo)
named Billy and a girl named Jane
that keeps me hopeful each day, but
it's our nation "s growing failure to
accept rcspons1hility tor all of our
chi ldren that keeps me up at night.

you consider that a 12-year-old
watches an m erage of three to four
hours of TV each day.
In this culture of "exclusively
individual blame." Ctmgress and
the President can cut funds for preventive programs and promote
prison growth and welfare rules
which are based on "individual
responsib11it).'' This perspective is
so pervasive it often appears that
• the public may be deliberately distracted from any focus on joint
responsibility.
We're distracted at home, too. In
Kentucky. from fisca l year 1997 to
fi scal year 1998, prison spending
increased II percent, while school
~pendi ng (K- 12) increased a paltry
3.2 percent.
Remember that oil-filter com·
mercia!, "Pay me now. or pay me
later." That's how child abuse
works.
Don't get me wrong; we must be

A Look At Sports
Justin Paige
Senior to see playing time in district
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
It is his senior season. It had been a good one thus
far. Then, like a lot of athletes, things start to go wrong
and in a freakish way, an accident takes away the season, the spirit and heart.
t;
All that happened to South Floyd senior forward
Justin Paige when. on a Friday afternoon. he broke his
right hand in practice. That sidelined him for five
weeks. leaving some doubt that he would ever play for
the Raiders again.
Tuesday morning, Paige made the scheduled visit to
his doctor to have the hand examined. expecting bad
news as he went.
"I thought they would remove the cast. x-ray the
hand and put another cast back on," said the Raiders'
leading scorer. Instead, the news was good as he
received a release and clearance to resume his basketball career at South Floyd. But Raider coach Henry
Webb said he will be brought back slowly. Paige suited
up for the Shelby Valley game Tuesday night'but did
111 not play.
"He hasn't practiced or anything," said the South
Floyd coach. ··we have to see how strong his hand is.
We will look at him tomorrow (Wednesday) in practice
and see what it looks like. We want to take it slow. We
just want to make sure that we don't get him hurt."
In the warm-ups Tuesday night, Paige sank four
straight from the three-point arc and pronounced he
was ready.
"It doesn't bother me when I shoot," he said.
"Today, when I first shot. Coach Webb lowered the goal
for me. The first time I shot I about broke the backboard. After about five minutes, my wrist started loos- ening up."
Paige said he still had a knot on his wrist. but it didn't seem to bother him. He said he had no pain except
for some caused by stiffness from his wrist being
immobile for five weeks.
Paige said there was fear that his career was over
that Friday when the accident happened and that he
would have to forget about playing in the district tournament.
"When I first broke it, it was real hard at first for me
to accept what had happened and I didn't know if I
would get to play in the district tournament," he said.
"It was real hard to sit on the bench and watch my ·
teammates play. It was painful to sit and watch."
But there is excitement in the vo1ce of this
senior forward whose love for the game of basketball is evident. Now he is ready and looking
forward to playing against Prestonsburg.
"I can't wait. There is not a team in the
district I want to play against," said Paige. "f
wanted to beat Allen Central forever but.
when we beat Prestonsburg up here on a last
second shot then got beat a few points there.
there is not another team that 1 want to play

Coach Webb said if Paige shows he is
ready to play and looks strong in practice, he
could see playing time against Piarist
(Thursday mght) and will play against
Millard on Saturday night.
"Hopefully, we can get him some quality minutes Saturday night against Millard
(Senior Night) and, hopefully. have him
ready by district tournament
time."
Webb said the doctors gave Paige a
release and the goahead
to
fu II
strength with two
exceptions.
"1 can't dunk
the ball and no
block shots," said
Paige, and that
could be good news
for the opposition.
"He told me to try and
take care of it and protect
it as much as I can."'
Paige said the doctors reported there was no need for
a partial cast and that everything looked good.
"There was that big fear of missing the district tournament. but everything has worked out all right." said
Paige, who had his release in his back pocket.
'"I have it here ready to give to Mr. (Dan) Collins our
athletic director," said Paige.
In the year 1975, legislation
was passed bringing in what
became known as Title IX,
which ruled that high schools
had to provide the same athletic
opportunities for girls as for
boys. With that came the birth
of girls· basketball in the high
school ranks.
That was 24 years ago.
Today the girls' game has
soared to record heights and
has become a fan favorite with
more and more sports fans taking in girls' basketball.
I, for one, enjoy watching
girls' basketball. It is a different
game from the boys, but yet it
is not different. The rules are
all the same, but it seems the
attitudes toward the game are
different. The girls seem to take
it more seriously than do the
boys.
Next week, along with the
boys' teams, all four girls' districts will tip off as they battle
to see who will represent the
15th Region in the Sweet
Sixteen in March.
The 15th Region has become
a hot bed for women's basketball and has college recruiters
sitting in the stands hoping to
locate a player who could make
a difference in their season.
The rich talent that can be
found in the region is located
mostly in the 59th and 60th districts but most of those good
young players are not ready for
college. They have another year
or two of high school.
57TH DISTRICT
better come out of their lethargy.
Standing around and going
through the motions in the first
Like the boys in the 57th, it
is hard to pick a winner here
but you have to give the nod to
Sheldon Clark, whom I feel is
the best girls' team in the 15th
Region. The Lady Cardinals are
quick. have discipline (something that is lost today) and can
shoot the basketball.
Coach Robin Harmon
Newsome has her Lady Cards
geared for a run at a regional
title and the Lady Cards should
come out of the 57th, along
with Johnson Central and right
into the regional meet.
Mandy Harmon is as good as
they get in the 15th. A solid
player who can rebound, play
defense. and, of course, score.

not standing around an) longer.
They were pushing thr ball up and
down the court.
"We're a team that works hard
on pushing the ball up the court,"
sa ill Coach Webb. It gets us mov ·
ing more. Jf we push the ball we
feel we can play with anybody. If
we stand around it is awful tough
for us:·
The running game also turned
up the intensity on defense and
when the Wildcats looked up. the
Raider)\ were about to put the leash
on them. \\'ith the ouhide game of
guanh Michael Hall and Ryan
Shannon, the Raider' made their
mo\'c and cut the lead to t\\o. 3634. on a power mo\ e inside by
Rust) fal·kett, a sophomore. Brad
Johnson completed an old-fashioned three-point play that gave
Shelby VaHey a 39-34 lcau at the
half.
The Raiucrs showed a solid
man-to man defense when the second half began and Shelby Valley
had problems matching up with it
on offense. The turned-up pressure
forced Shelby Valh!y w take some
i11-ud\ ised shots. Byron Hall started the South Floyd comeback with
a rebound basket and a three-pointer otT the right sidt: at the 6:30
mark. The trey tied the game at 39.
nnd it was South Floyd from lhat
point on. Jimmy Stumbo'~ three-
point basket from the top of the key
gave the Raiders their first lead
since the first quarter. 47-45. with
3:15 to play in the third.
··we can't say enough about our
young kids," said Coach Webb.
They have been playing very hard.
Some have been sick, but they play
anyway. Byron is a work horse on
the floor. He struggles from the line
and doesn't shoot every shot great,
but he is one kid you can count on
every n1ght to gi\'e 115 percent.
South Floyd held a 53-50 lead
going into the fourth quarter and
extended it to I 0 points, 60 50,
with a 7-0 run to start the final peri·
od. Shelby Valley turned the ball
o•er on its first four possessiOns to
begin the final stanza.
A barrage of three-pointers by
the Wildcats propelled Shelby
Ya11ey back into the game a!'> they
narrowed the RaJder lead to one.
68-67, on a tre) by '\fcwsome. The
wildcats hit four stratght threepoint baskets. With 55 seconds to
play, the Raider' had to put the
game away from the free throw
line, where it became an adventure.
The Raiders did net seven of I 0
tosses to secure the win.
"f-ree lhrow shooting is something we work extremely hard on,"
said the South Floyd mentor. "It is
a Catch 22 thing. At the f1rst of the
year, we shot our free throws well.
But now we seem to be struggling."
Coach Webb said it is not something he is overly concerned about,
although 1t is an important part of
the game.
Shelby Valley buried 12 threepoint baskets in the game. Shannon
Akers led all scorers with 25 points
and hit five treys. 1\!ewsome tossed
in 24 points and four three-pointers. John~on finished with 14

landowners.
The Dove Field Lea$e began
Jasr year. It's a way for Kentucky

places for people to hunt doves.
Fields planted this spring for
dove hunting next faJI can generate as much as $2,500 for a
landowner when leased to
KDFWR for public hunting.
All you have to do is plant an
idle field to the crop your
KDFWR biologist recommends
for
mourning
doves.
Recommended crops include
plants such as sunflowers or millet. The next step is to sign an
agreement with KDFWR allow·
ing folks to hunt doves on your
land during the legal season.
That's all there is to it. After
dove season ends, you'll get a
check in the mail for as much as
$2,500.
Payments are based on the
number of acres enrolled, crop
type and the number of days a
landowner is willing to open
those acres to public do\c hunting Payments are ~pecificd in
the initial agreement.
After its first ) ear, the Dove
Field Lea$e Program is considered a succt:ss b)' participating

TB scare is not so scary
The recent rash of concern about a tubcrculosi~ (TB)

This individual turned out to hL· \'CI) infectious. A search and testing of the irH.Iividual's
close contacts was ndmini~tcrL'd. From that
search, two definite cases of infection and live
possible cases of infe<:tion were identilicd.
Cathy Hembry of he Magolfin County Health
Department said that those seven people do not have
the disease and cannot transmit the infection to anyone
else.

"The true contacts of the lirst case, mcluding those
seven who were diagnosed following that. and their
close contacts are who we need to he focusing on right
now,'' Hembry said. "We need to make sure that all of
them are being tested and treated. so that we can more
effectively contain the disease. Then we can turn our
complete attention to te~ting the general public who
may not have even had a minor contact with a diseased
person.

A.lthough the I awrcnce County Fiscal Court voted

members of local veterans' groups plan to challenge the
vote.
At their January meeting. the court voted unanimously to add the name ol Charles S. Jones. a

to the monument. Jones died of a heart nttal.'l\ during a
softball game in 1969.
Local resident Patty Wallace had submined a letter
asking that Jones' name be added because his name is
on the monument in Frankfo11 and h. listed in the Book
of Vietnam Casual tie~.
Local veterans said his name doc~ not appear on the
monument because he \\as neither ..killed in action" or

Fred Wilson. commander of the local V F. W. post.
said there are others \\ ho died while in the sen ice of

names were also omiucd ... Wilson addressed the fact
that Jones was an African-American and sa1d that had

City mulls getting out of
garbage collection business
When Louisa's main garbage truck recently broke down again, the city saw the trash pile
up faster than they could haul it away. Realizing
that the situation was desperate, city officials called in
BFl. an outside garbage collection agency based in
Huntrngton. West Virginia, to come in and help.
"They cut us a deal and it didn't cost us a dime,"
Lousia Mayor Mike Sullivan said.
Now. the city plans to take a look at using BFI on a
regular basis to handle some of the larger commercial
customers.
Sullivan said some cit) employees are using their
own vehicles to haul garbage.
Next month, representatives of BFI arc expected to
come to the Louisa City Council with a proposal to help
alleviate some of the garbage problems. Right no\\,
Sullivan sa1d. the city is just looking over their options.

One crazy night!!!
By .Mike Crum
"One crazy night before
Christmas"
What a show! The play "One
Craz) 'Sight Before Christmas"
acted out on December 8, 1998, by
the Prestonsburg Elementary
fourth-grade class was a big hit.
Students, led by our music
teacher, Ms. Rebecca Haywood,
were like real actors. The play was
slowed down only by the sound of
people clapping. Skit after skit was
great. Everybody was laughing and
that made Christmas a happier
time.
My favorite act was when three
Santas showed up. Three detectives had to sort out the impostors.
The detectives used magnifying
glasses and questions to figure out
that they were all fake, while the
other students sang "Will the Real
Santa Claus Stand Up." The real
Santa showed up at the end of the
play.
Our families. friends. and fel- •
low students came together for a
fun evening. Go to your school
plays and see how good they are.

During the month of December,
the students in our class (Mrs.
Diana Turner's primary) collected
food and blankets for the Ammal
Shelter. There were a lot of new
kittens and puppies at the shelter
and we wanted to make sure that
they were not hungry and they
stayed warm.
Two nice ladies from the shelter
named Rita Fleenor and Norma
Senters brought a kitten for us to
see. They even let us name H. We
decided to call it Serena.
We enjoyed this project because
we learned that even though we're
kids, we can still make a difference!
Our friend buzz
The adventures
of Kassidy Kidd
by Chayse Martin
One day a policeman, Mtkc
Goble, came to our school to talk to
us about drugs and safety. First he
talked to us about crack and other
major drugs. He told us .-at it was
really bad to do drugs because if
you just smoked weed and were
taking some people home. you
might wreck and that could not only
be endangering your life, you
would also be endangering the
other people 10 your car and other
people that are driving around you.
Then he talked to us about safety. He said that you should always
wear your seat belts when you are
in a car driving down the road
because there might be a stop sign
and whoever is driving did not sec
it. The chances are that the driver is
going to slam on his or her brakes
and you are going to go through the
window. Another thing that he told
us about safety was that when you
are crossing a road you should look •
left, then look right, and do the
same thing again until you see that
there are no cars and you can go
straight across.
Then the man said that he wanted us to meet a friend of his. Then a
little car named Buzz came out talking. He told us many things about
safety and drugs.
Then he satd, "Do you want to
hear some music?"
The chtldrcn said, ·'Yes" and he
played all kmds of music.
After that 1 asked, "Who is the ~
voice of Buzz?" Then Mrs. RebiaJ f
stepped out with headphones on.

Capital Gains Tax Expanded
For people who owned stocks, mutual funds or other
invesunents last year, chances are the new capital gruns
tax rules will affect how they file their tax returns and
how much tax they'll owe from those investments.
Last year, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 went into
law, affecting m11lions of taxpayers on their 1997 tax
returns. Many were able to take advantage of lower capital gains rates. This year, the benefits of the Act have been
expanded and now apply to sales of property held more
than one year, instead of 18 months.
If the net capital gain is from collectibles or Sect1on
1202 gain (from qualified small business stock), then the
maximum capital gruns rate is 28 percent If the net capital gain is from unreLapturcd Section 1250 gain (from
depreciable real property), then the maximum capital
gains rate is 25 percent.
If the net capital gam is from other gain, then the maximum rate is 20 percent. but only 10 percent for gains that
would otherwise be in the 15 percent tax bracket.
Taxpayers who have capital gruns distributions from
mutual funds must usc Schedule D to report them, rather
than Schedule B. Those who have ordmary diVIdends of
more than $400 must file Schedule B.
For more infonnauon about the cap1tal gains tax
changes, sec a financial advisor or get free lRS
Publication 550, In'IICstment Income and Expenses,
Public::lllon 564. Mutual Fund Distributions, and
Schedule D and its tnstrucuons.

Tax Changes for 1998 Can
Benefit Taxpayers
When filling out tax forms this year, take note of some
of the changes that could make the difference between
getting a refund and paying more taxes.
Depending on their income. people may be able to
claim up to a $400 credit for each qualifying child under
age 17. New this year. the child tax credit could reduce
the tax to zero, or even become a refundable credit for
taxpayers with three or more qualifying children.
People can benefit from a number of educational
incentives. The Hope credit lets people below certain
income levels claim a credit for the first two years of postsecondary education. It's limited to $1,500 per year for
qualified tuition and expenses. The lifetime learning credit applies to qualified tuition and expenses for undergraduate. graduate and professional degree courses paid after
June 30, 1998. for courses starting after that date. The
credit is 20 percent of expenses, up to $1 ,000 per return.
Certain limits apply to both credits.
In addition to these credits. people can set up
Education IRAs featuring nondeductible contributiOnS of
up to $500 a year for a named beneficiary under age 18.
And people can tap into their other IRAs to pay for qualified higher education expenses. Also, a limited amount
of interest paid on higher education loans is deductible.
Some restrictions apply to each benefit.
Another new IRA IS the Roth IRA. Il features nondeductible contributions. with tax-free distributions if they
begin after the fifth year the taxpayer has a Roth IRA. the
taxpayer is at least age 59+ or disabled, or the distribution
is a qualified first-time home buyer distribution.
New capital gains tax rules may reduce the tax owed
on invesunents. The benefits of lower rates now apply to
sales of property held more than one year instead of 18
months. Schedule D will take taxpayers step by step
through the rates and rules.
The earned income tax credit (EITC) could be worth a
few dollars, or up to $3,756 for people with more than one
Electronic Filln~Paper check from IRS to your home in about 21 working days. Prep fees & Fed. ELE fee,

•
qualifying child. up to $2,271 for one qualifying child.
For those with no children. tht: EITC could be worth up
to $341 . The amount people can earn and still be eligible
for the credit m 1998 is $30.095 for those with more than
one child, $26,473 with one qualifying child. and$ 10,030
with no children. People who aren't eligible for the EITC.
but who claim it anyway. could be prohib!led from taking
it for up to 10 years.
Rules for getting installment agreements, offers in
compromise and mnoccnt spouse relief are now less stringent. And people who haven· t been able to resolve their
problems through nonnal IRS channels have a new' tollfree line to a taxpayer advocate: 1-877-777-4778.
Social Security numbers will not be printed anywhere
on the tax instruction booklets or labels, so people need to
make sure they put the1r correct SSNs on their tax returns
and other forms. And those who owe taxes can write their
checks to the United States Treasury, but don't staple the
check to the return.
Get details on these topics and more in the tax instruction booklets or in free IRS Publication 553, Highlights of
1998 Tax Changes. Call 1-800-829-3676 to order.
Kids Are a Tax Bonus
People starting a family think about many things, like
naming their child, clothing, education and so on. But one
thing they might not have thought about is the tax benefit
of having children. Sure, they probably know about the
exemption for a dependent, but this year there's another
tax benefit - the child tax credit.
Depending on their income, people may be able to
claim up to a $400 cred1t on their 1998 tax return for each
qualifying child under age 17. This means they can
reduce the tax owed by up to $400 for each child- not a
bad deal! For famtlies with one or two children, the credil is nonrefundable. In other words, they may use the credit to reduce the tax they owe to zero. but they would not
receive any remainder as a refund. However, if they have
three or more children, a portion of the child tax credit
may be refundable. (The maximum credit will rise to
$500 per child in 1999.)
As with many things in life, there are limits that come
with the benefits. The amount of the child tax credit
depends on one's income. The value of the credit is $400
per qualifying child, but the total credit is reduced by $50
for each $1,000. or part thereof. that their adjusted gross
income exceedc; $110,000 for joint filers, $55,000 for
married filing separately, and $75.000 for single filers.
For more information about the credit, see the instructions for Form I 040 or Form I 040A.
Credit Cards May Be Used to
Pay Taxes
This year, some people who owe the Internal Revenue
Service money have a new payment option. ''We have
two arrangements that allow the payment of federal
income taxes by credit card for the first time," said Bob
Barr, IRS e-file executive. "One arrangement will let people who e-file using Intuit's TurboTax or MaclnTax software package pay the amount owed to the U.S. Treasury
with any NOVUS credit card," explained Barr. NOVUS
card brands include Discover Card and Private Issue and
other NOVUS cards.
The other arrangement processes credit card payments
by phone through an agreement with US Audiotex. "After
e-filing by TeleFile, a personal computer or through an
authorized e-file provider, people can call a toll-free number to charge the balance due," said Barr. Those who file
a paper return may also use this system. US Audiotex will
accept Mastercard, American Express, and NOVUS credit cards.
The IRS will not have any fees for credit card payments; however, users will pay the companies a convenience fee based on the amount charged
Faster Refunds With Direct
Deposit
Expecting a tax refund? Get it faster by directly
depositing it into a bank account.
Depositing a refund into a checiJng or savings account
is more secure because there's no check to get lost. And it
takes the U.S. Treasury less time than issuing a paper
check So people can get their refunds faster without making a special trip to the bank.
Direct Deposll is available for all individuals, regardless of how they tile their returns by phone, computer or
mail. Those who mail the lRS a paper return can fill in the
"Refund" section.
People should ask their financial institutiOnS if they
accept Direct Deposit, including joint refunds into individual accounts. They can also verify the correct routing
and account numbers.
Although D1rect Depos1t can be used •n most situations, it can't be used when filing a prior year's return.
Also, Direct Deposit will not occur 1f the name on the tax
return and bank account don't match. Direct deposits of
refunds won't go into foreign bank accounts, either. lf, for
some reason, the refund can't be directly deposited into a
taxpayer's account, the U.S. Treasury will send a check
instead.

Losing personal or business property due to a fire,
flood, hurricane, theft or other similar event is devastating. But many people can recover some disaster losses
through federal income tax breaks.
People who suffer a casualty, loss or theft may be able
to deduct the loss when they itemize deductions on theLr
tax returns. If the loss happens 10 an area declared a disaster area by the president, people can choose to deduct
the loss when they file their tax returns for the year of the
loss, or amend their returns for the year before the Joss,
whichever provides the better tax result.
If additional time is granted to disaster victims for the
filing of returns and paying taxes, interest w11l not be
charged for that period.
For details, get free Publications 547, Casualties,
Disasters, and Thefts (Business and Nonbusmess). and

Educational Incentives Give
Tax Breaks
People continuing their education or planning for a
child to attend college should team about the educational
incentives available to them. These incentives could
change the bottom line on their tax returns.
The Hope credit leLc; people below certain income ley*
cis claim a credit for the first two years of post-secondary
education expenses. The credit is limited to $1,500 per
year for qualified tuition and l~xpenses. Tuition expenses
eligible for the credit must be reduced by any tax-free
funds. such as granL~ or scholarships. Graduate and professional level fees arc not allowed. The credit applies to
payments made after 1997, for academic periods starting
after that year.
People can claim the Hope credit for each eligible student in their family. The student must be enrolled in at
least half of the full-time workload for the course of study
The credit is not allowed to students convicted of a felony
drug offense. A person can claim the Hope credit for only
two tax years for each eligible student.
The lifetime learning credit applies to qualified tuition
and expenses for undergraduate, graduate, and profes•
sional degree courses paid after June 30, 1998, for courses starting after that date. People under certrun income
levels can claim this credit for an unlimited number of
years. The credit is 20 percent of expenses, up to a maximum credit of $1,000 per return. The credit amount doesn't increase with additional eligible students in the family, and it cannot be claimed for students' expenses during
years when the Hope credit is claimed for those students.
Both the Hope and lifetime learning credits are
reduced rateably as a taxpayer's adjusted gross income
rises from $40,000 to $50,000 (double those amounts for
a married couple tiling jointly).
In addition to these credits, people under certain other
income levels can deduct a limited amount of the interest
paid on qualified higher education loans, but only for thifirst 60 months of loan payments. The maximum deduction is $1,000. and students must have been enrolled for
at least half the normal full-ume course load required.
This deduction phases out as adjusted gross income rises
from $40,000 to $55.000 ($60,000 to $75,000 for married
couples filing jointly). Taxpayers do not have to itemize
on Schedule A to claim the studem loan interest deductiOn.
People who are dependents and married couples filing
separate returns cannot claim the student loan interest
deduction or the Hope and lifetime learning credits.
Indiv1dual retirement arrangements (IRAs) can help
provide for education as well as retirement. People who
have lRAs can tap into them to pay for qualified higher
education expenses. They won't have to pay the 10 per,~
cent penalty tax on early withdrawals, but they will have
to pay tax on the amount Withdrawn.
The Education IRA is set up as a funding vehicle to
pay educational expenses of a named beneficiary. It features nondeductible contributions of up to $500 a year per
beneficiary, with no tax on thE earnings if withdrawals
are less than qualified higher education expenses in the
year of the withdrawal. The beneficiary must be under 18
when the contribution is made. The $500 limit is reduced
if a contributor has income above certain levels.
And for people whose employers pay for therr education. the employer-provided educational assistance is
excluded from their wages. The maximum exclusio~
amount is $5,250 and is for undergraduate courses, not for
graduate level courses.
Publications 590, Individual Retirement Altangements
(IRAs), and 970, Tax Benefits for Higher Education, have
more details about these tax breaks and the income
phaseout rules. To order, call 1-800-829-3676.
New IRA for Education
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 created an Education
IRA that is not a retirement savings vehicle, but one used
to pay for qualified higher education expenses of a designated beneficiary.
•
The EducatiOn IRA features nondeductible contributions of up to $500 a year per beneficiary, with no tax on
the earnings if withdrawals are less than qualified higher
education expenses in the year of the withdrawal. The
beneficiary must be under 18 when the contribution is
made. TI1e $500 lim1t is reduced (phased out) 1f a contributor has adjusted gross income above $95,000
($150,000 on ajoint return).
Withdrawals not used for higher education purposes
will be partially taxable to the beneficiary and will generally be subject to an additional 10 percent penalty This
will also apply to any amount remaining in an Education
IRA when the hencficiary reaches age 30. There is no tax
on a rollover from a beneficiary's Education IRA to an
Education IRA of certain family members.

Publications 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements
(lRAs), and 970, Tax Benefits for Higher Education, have
more information. To order, call 1-800-829-3676.
IRS e-file This Year
People who want their tax refunds faster and their tax
returns more accurate should use IRS e-filc. This year,
IRS e-filc even offers people who owe money several
opuons to "file now, pay later."
The IRS' electronic filing program, called IRS e-file,
offers people 10crea.c;ed ease of filing, speedier delivery of
refunds and more accurate tax returns.
Those who usc e-file will get their refunds in half t~
time as paper filers, even faster when deposited directlf
into a bank account. Since e-liled returns are more accurate, there's less chance people will hear from the IRS
about m1stakes on thc1r returns.
"Thts year, IRS e-file offers additional benefits to
those who owe money with their returns," explained Bob
Barr, IRS e-file executive. "By providing bank information when they file electronically, people can direct when
they want their payment made to the U.S. Treasury." Also
for the tirst time, taxpayers can choose to pay their taxes
with a credit card
Payments can be made anytime after the tax rerum is
filed unlit April 15. "This feature will let people file early,
have the peace of mind knowing their returns have been
accepted by the lRS. and manage their finances without
waiung until the last minute to file and pay," explained
Barr.

IRAs worthwhile retirement
investment for all individuals
When a pen.on retires, the) will
likely depend on one-third of their
_earnings coming from social seeuri•ty, one-third from an employee pen'sion plan. and should plan on one!third coming from other investments such as an Individual
•Retirement Account.
"Nearly one half or all
· Americans have Jess than $1 0.000
in savings," said Pam Rutchl'r,
assistant vice president. Citizens
National Bank. PaintsvilJe. "Today
and in the future this is not nearly
enough money to relirc on. even
when combined with social security
and pension income.''
Butcher said many individuab
believe that social security will be
enough mone) to support them
through retirement. Other individuals believe that social security
.won't be around \\hen they reach
• retirement age even through the
president and Congress arc planrung nO\\ to shore-up the fund.
"Regardless of a person's belief. it
is worth investing in an IRA." she
said.
Individuals who work for companies that do not have pension
plans won't have that source to supplement their retirement income.
They need to individually save and
invest to prepare for their retirement. Likewise. individuals who do
not anticipate social security being
available need to devise a plan to
•replace that one-third of their retirement income.
"IRA's are one of the biggest single investment tax breaks Congress
has ever given to middle-class
Americanl> to save for their retirements," Butcher said. "An individual can invest up to $2.000 per year
which can accumulate substantially
over a period of years. If an indi" idual can on Iy save $1 0 a week, that is
$520 a year that can be invested for
their future needs in retirement."
Since the federal government
introduced the new Roth IRA in
tt 1997, millions of Americans arc
asking: What is the difference
between a traditional and a Roth
IRA? What advantages does the
new Roth IRA have over a tradi
tiona! IRA? Should l reinvest my
traditional IRA into a Roth? Is it
worth investing in either''
Anyone considering the purchase of the IRA needs to understand the difference between the
traditional and Roth IRA, including
the advantages and disadvantages
e ofeach.
What is an IRA
anyway?
"An IRA is virtually the same as
any other investment account you
open with a bank, such as a savings
account or certificate of deposit
(CD )," Butcher said. "The difference is that there is Jess liquidity m
an IRA than a savings account or
CD. Individuals who invest in an
•IRA typically are serious about
financially planning for their
future." Money inve ... ted in a sa\ings accot1nt can essenually be
withdrawn at any ttme. With some
savings accounts. there may be
some penallies for withdra\ving too
many times during a year. but the
penalties are minor compared to
those when drawing money out of
an IRA before the age of 59 112.
There are some exceptions to the
rule. Firs~ time homebuyers can
withdraw up to $I 0.000 without
penalty. as can individuals who arc
continuing their education and in
the case of a serious illness.
IRAs also have better potential
for htgher returns than a savings
account or CD. Most savings
account holders earn somewhere
between 2 1/2 and 3 percent interest. An individual who invests in an
IRA typically will earn anywhere
from 5 to 7 percent. The difference
is substamial when given enough
years to compound tax-free or taxdeferred interest.
Like any other investment. the
sooner a person invests in an IRA
the quicker the money multiplies.
JRAs are even available to people
who are retired, but individuals in
retirement need to be aware of fed~
era! government requirements on
some accounts that restrict them
from withdrawing amounts until the
account ha'l been open for at least
five years.
Traditional IRA
A traditional IRA allows eligible
savers to deduct up to $2.000 a year
in contributions from their taxable
income and defer taxes un the
account until the funds arc withdrawn after age 59 112. at which
time withdrawals are taxed as ordinary earnings. Any individual who
makes up to $40,000 adjusted gross
income (AGI) per year or a couple
that earns up to $60.000 AGI 1s eli·
gible to defer taxes invested in a tra
ditionallRA. An individual must be
under 70 years old to make a contribution into a traditional IRA. A
withdrawal can be taken out of this
IRA at any time after the account
holder turns 59 1/2. however. the
first withdrawal must be taken by
April I of the year after attaining
age 70 l/2.
Roth IRA
The Roth IRA allows annual
nondeductible contributiOns of up
to $2,000 of earned income for singles who earn less than $95.000
AGI, and $4,000 for roamed couples who file jointly who earn less
than $150,000 AGI combined.
Individuals or couples who exceed
the income levels of an eligible con
tributor may stiJI be able to invest in
a Roth IRA at some level. Since the
Roth IRA is funded with after-tax
dollars. a primary benefit is that the
government allows investors to
accumulate interest on their contributions. hut does not require taxes
he paid on the caming... at the time
of withdrawal.
A Roth IRA mu ... t be held for live
year~. A person must be 59 1/2 to
make the first \\ ithdrawal unless it
is to suppor1 a first time home purchase. for higher education or in
case of serious illness. The Roth
IRA does not have a minimum distribution that must begin at age 70
1/2 like th~: trad1t1onal IRAs. If a
person dies prior to withdrawing
from their Roth IRA. heirs would
receive the pmcecds that would be
entirely free from federal income
taxes.
Traditional IRA vs.
Roth IRA
"There is a tremendous amount
of debate going on in the financial
world whether the Roth IRA •matcgy is better than the traditional IRA
strategy," Butcher said. "The
answer depends on an mdividual's
financial goals, household and discretionary income. the number of
years left to invest before a person
plans to withdraw from the account,
and what they foresee their future
income level will need to be in a
retirement.''
1ndividuals who anticipate that
the1r tax rate will he higher during
retirement than dunng their working years ohen choose to invest in
the Roth IRA : otherwtse. they are
likely to choose a t;adlltonal IRA.
Long-tcnn im cstors often choose
the Roth IRA o-..cr the traditional
IRA so their savings and investments can accumulate earnings taxfree. as opposed to tax-deferred
earnings. Since the Roth IRA was
introduced. man) indh iduals ha\'e
con,ened their traditional accounts
into Roth accounts Anyone who is
considering this transJtton should

Driving toward business deductions: lease or buy ·
b it better to lease or purchase a
car you plan to usc in your business? The Kentucky Society of
CPA~ advises business ov. ners to
consider the tax imphcations of purchasing versus leasing when trying
to determmc "hich altem::uive is
best.
Buying a car for
business
Ir ) ou purchase a car and usc it
for business. you may recover part
of the cost of the car through annu·
al depreciation. The amount
depends on a number of factors,
including the method of depreciation you usc. the co.:;t of the car. the

the percentage of total mileage ) ou

fa.x Ia\\ sets limits on the
amount you can claim for the de pre·

deduction.
Maximum deductions depend on
the year in \\ hich you placed your
car in ~ervice, the umount of vour
husines'> use, and its cost. Wh~ther
you choo'e MACRS depreciation
or first-year expensing. the firstyear limit for a car placed in sen icc
in 1991:1 is $3.160. This limit is
reduced further by the percentage of
your personal usc of the vehicle.
For example, if you usc your car 60
percent of the time for business.
your maximum deduction i!-. 60 percent of $3,160, or $1.896.
This dollar limit applies only to
cars manu factured primarily for usc
on public roadways and with a
gross vehicle weight of 6000
pounds or less. While most car~ fall
into this category, some sport utility
vehicles (SUVs) arc heavtcr. If you

or Toyota I.and Cruiser) that weighs
more than 6000 pounds in your

Kentucky income tax deduction
increases to $1 ,200 for 1998 tax year
For the 1998 tax year.
Kentucky's standard deduction for
individual income tax increases
from $900 to $1,200. The standard
deduction is claimed by persons
who choose not to itemize deductions on their individual income
tax return. A large percentage of
low income taxpayer~ usc the standard deduction. which is located
on line I I of l·orms 740 and 740-S
and on Line 2 of Form 740-EZ.
According to Govcmor Paul E.
Patton, "The increa~e ncar!) dou-
bles the individual income tax
standard deduction from 1996.
This is a very positive move for
Kentucky taxpayers. 1 know this
can make a real difference for
Kentuckians especially in today's
economy where every penny
counts. This underscores my
Administration's commitment to
lessen the burden on Kentucky taxpayers and is a direct result of the
1996 legislative tax package."
F'or 1999. the standard deduction will increase to S 1.500; and

mileage records. or the Internal
Re,·enuc Service could disallow
the deduction
Thl.!re are two methods for
claiming business car expenses actual expenses or the standard
mileage rate, With actual expenses, taxpayers can add all their car
operating expenses for the yeargas, oil. tires, repairs, license fees,
garage rental, insurance and depreciation, subject to certain limitations - and then deduct the percentage of the total that was for
business. based on mileage
record.:;.
Instead of tracking actual car
costs. taxpayers can use the standard mileage rate. Multiply the
husiness mileage by the standard
rate of 32.5 cents per mile.
Travel expenses are ordinary
and necessary expenses while
away from home on businl.!ss,
Taxpayers should keep whate\ er
documencs they can gather to
prove where they went, why they
went there, how long they stayed
and how much they spent. If the
travel includes some business and
some personal aspects, they should
keep clear records showing exactly how much is related to bus~ncss.
Taxpayers should keep lodging
receipts, including receipts for
cleaning and laundry. telephone
charges and tips. They should also
keep transportation receiptfi. such
as airline, train or bus ticket stubs,
travel agency receipts. rental car
or taxi recejpts. These should
show the dates and services
imolvcd .
And, of course, keep meal
receipts. Generally. taxpayers
must keep a log of meal expenses
and <.a\ e receipts of $75 or more
If they don't wall! to keep track of
the actual cost of meals, they can
use a standard meal allowance,
which varies depending on where
they arc traveling in the United
States. Taxpayers can generally
claim only 50 percent of the cost
of meals <tnd tips while traveling.

Business Taxpayers Should
Look for Tax Changes
The new year seems always to
bnng with it tax law changes that
affect business owners filling out
their annual tax returns or that
re4uire plannmg for the next year.
Things arc no different in 1999.
The changes affect how selfemployed people and farmers handle mcome on 1998 returns, and
provisions that business owners
should be aware of for planning in
1999.
On 1998 returns, the amount of
health
insurance
premiums
deductible by self-employed people incrl.!ases from 40 percent to 45
percent. From 1999 through 200 I,
60 percent will be deductible.
Farmers can elect to compute
their 1998 income taxes by averag-
ing farm income over a three-year
period. This became effective for
tax
years
beginning
after
December 31, 1997. and ending
before January 1, 2001.
One of the more high-profile
changes
takes
effect
after
December
31,
1998.
Self
employed people and employees
may be able to take a home office
deduction if they use the office for
administrative or management
activities and meet basic tests.

where the person conducts substantial administrative or management activities and the office must

More Businesses Pay Taxes
Electronically
Two milhon business taxpayers
have t!nrolled in an electronic tax
payment system that allows them
the convenience of making their
federal tax payments directly from
their homes or offices. The
Electronic Federal Tax Payment
System (EFTPS) eliminates paper
coupons and checks and uses
instead telephone!> or personal
computers to pay federal taxes.
Said by the IRS to be "the easiest wa) to pa) federal taxes,"
EFTPS requires no special equipment. Payments by phone take less
than five minutes. If a taxpayer
wishes to usc a personal computer,
free. Windows-based software is
a\'ailablc.
Taxpayers can also choose to
work through rheir financ1al institutions. Based on specific direction
from the taxpayer, tax information
and payment instructions are
processed through EFTPS to the
governmen t.
No government
agency or outside party has unauthorized access to a taxpayer's
account or company information.
EFTPS is an alternative offered
by the Treasury Department to provide businesses with a simple, inte
grated approach to managing the1r
tax dollars and information. Last
year, the Treasury collected over $1
trillion through the system.
Approximately 4.000 businesses
are enrolling each week.

v
Taxes and Home
Ownership
Whether buying a first home or
in the process of selling one, home
m' nersh1p can have a big effect on
tax returns.
Some of the settlement fees and
dosing cost-. can be deducted in the
tax year the home is bought. These
costs include certain real estate
taxes, mortgage interest and points
that meet certain requirements.
Other costs may be included in
the basis of the property. Basis is a
way to measure the investment in a
home for tax purposes. Costs like
abstract and recording fee-., surveys
ahd owner's title insurance are
in'cluded in the basis.
People who itemize deductions
can deduct interest on most mortgages secured by their first or second home. They C<Ul deduct qualifying points on a loan to buy or
improve thetr main home 111 the
year they paid them. Anu they can
usually deduct real estate taxes
imposed by state or local governments for rhe general public welfare.
The Taxpayer Relief Act of J997
replaced two tax breaks for home
.~ellers with a more generous one.
Under the old law. those 55 and
older could exclude up to $125,000
of gain. And anyone who bought a
replacement home within two years
of the sale might postpone taxes on
some or all of the gain. Under the
nev. law. taxpayers can exclude up
to $250.000 of gain ($500,000 on a
joint return. if both meet the residency requirement) from the sale of
a home.
The new exclusiOn ts aJiowed
once every two years. but only if the
person used the home as a principal
residence for at least two out of the
five years before the sale. The seller must pay tax on any gain exceeding the exclusion - the replacement home rule no longer applies. If
a person sells before satisfying the
t\\o-year residency requtrement
because of a change in employment
or health, the maximum exclusion
amount ($250,000 or $500,000) is
prorated by the percent of the twoycar time met. This proration also
applies to anyone who owned a
home on Aug. 5, 1997, and sell:-. it
before Aug. 5, 1999. regardless of
whether there was a change in
employment or heaJth.
Because of this larger exc·lusion
of gam. the average person may not
need to keep track of the home's
cost basis once the two-year residency b met. Only if the home sells
for more than the maxtmum exclusion amount will the taxpayer even
have to figure the gain. In that case,
one would need accurate records of
all items affecting the basis. This
includes improvements such as
aduing a room, finishing a basement
or putting up a fence.

Relief for Innocent
Spouses
Sometimes happily ever after
doesn't work out, and two people
end up going their separate \\ays.
Although they might divide their
belonging~. the) can't break up any
previous tax bills or tax returns they
filed together.
This is known as joint and several liability. It means that one spouse
is as liable as the other for all items
appearing on returns they filed
together and equally liable to pay
all the tax due, whether or not
they're divorced. So if a joint return
is audited, each spouse is liable for
any additional tax that may be
assessed, even if it was from some·
thing the other spouse deducted or
forgot to report. In such a situation,
a taxpayer could request innocent
spouse relief from joint and several
liability.
In 1998, Congress passed a law
making the requirements for obtaining such relief less stringent. People
can request this relief in three ways
-expanded innocent spouse relief,
~eparate liability election and equitable relief.
The expanded innocent spouse
relief is a new version of an old law.
Prior innocent spouse requirements
were relatively strict. The new law
relaxes those requirements to a
point where taxpayers may be
relieved of a portion of the additional assessment they did not know
about or had no reason to know
about.
Separate liability election allows
certam taxpayers to elect to have
the additional assessment limited to
the portion that would be allocated
to their share of the item(s) at issue,
based, for example, on their own
eamings or deductions.
Equitable relief is available
when a person does not meet the
conditions for innocent spouse or
separate liability relief, but it would
nevertheless be unfair to hold the
person responsible for an unpaid tax
or an additional assessment. Such a
case might arise when one spouse
did not know, and had no reason to
know, that the other spouse took the
money intended for paymg the tax
and used it for his or her own benefit instead.
The lRS has revised Publication
971, Innocent Spouse Relief, and
Form 8857, which people may use
to request this relief, to reflect the
new provisions of the law. Both are
available by calling 1-800-8293676.
IRAs Make Dollars
and Sense
Make those golden years more
golden with careful retirement planning. Whether retirement days are
around the corner or well over the
horizon. it's important to p lan
ahead. For many, setting up an individual retirement arrangement
(IRA) can prov1de that extra peace
of mind.
IRAs are savings plans that give
indhiduals tax benefits as an incentive to set aside money until retirement. Contributions to a traditional
IRA may be deductible and the
earnings on the account are not
taxed until withdrawn.
Although withdrawals arc generally taxable, retirees may pay a
lower tax rate than when they were
working. Anyone who has taxable
compensation - such as wages,
tips. commissions or taxable alimony - and who will be under age
70+ at the end of the year, can set up
a traditional IRA. Money can be put
into an IRA any time during the
year or by the due date of the tax
return for that year, not including
extensions.
Annual IRA contributions are
limited to the lesser of $2,000 or the
person's compensation, but if only
one spouse has compensation, contributions may still be made to an
IRA for the other spouse. If neither
spouse is covered by an employer
retirement plan, the contributions to
a traditional IRA are deductible on
their tax return. If either spouse is
covered by an employer's plan, the
deductibiJity of IRA contributions
depends on their joint income level.
Generally. individuals cannot
make withdrawals before turning
age 59+ without being penalized.
But new rules allow penalty-free
withdrawals for certain purposes,
such as for higher education
expenses and up to $10,000 for a
first time home purchase. Other
penalty exccpttons apply to
amounts used for unreimbursed
medical expenses that are more than
7+ percent of adjusted gross income
or for medical insurance for a taxpayer who receives unemployment
compensation for at least 12 consecutive weeks.
Congress added some new IRA
provisions beginning in 1998. One
is a new plan called the Roth IRA.
The Roth lRA features nondeductible contributions, with tax-free
distributions if they begin after the
tifth year the taxpayer has a Roth
IRA (starting with the initial contri·
bution year) and the taxpayer is at
least age 59+, or disabled, or the
disttibution is a qualified first-time
home buyer di~tribution (limited to
$ 10,000). If the owner dies, the beneficiary can receive tax- free distributions if it has been more than 5
years since the owner opened the
Roth IRA.
Annual contributions to all IRAs
- Roth and traditional -are limited to a total of $2,000 per person.
The limit for Roth IRAs is phased
out as adjusted gross income (AGI)
increases from $95,000 to $110,000
($150,000 to $160,000 on a joint ~
return). Unlike the traditional IRA.
Roth IRAs allow people to contribute after they reach age 70+ and
don't require withdrawals while
they are living. People with AGI
under $100,000 can convert a nonRoth IRA into a Roth IRA. They
will have to pay tax as though they
had withdrawn the funds, but there
is no early withdrawal penaJty. If
the conversiOn takes place in 1998,
the taxable amount may be spread
over four years. That is, one-quarter
of the taxable conversion is included in income in 1998, 1999 and so ,.
on. Married couples filing separate
returns can't convert a non-Roth
IRA into a Roth IRA.

Retirement Arrangements (IRAs),

IRS Modernization
Is Good News for
Taxpayers
•
A Message to Taxpayers from
IRS Commissioner Charles 0.
Rossotti.
You might have heard recently
that the IRS is changing. It's true.
I'd like to offer a few comments
about our new emphasis on customer service and fairness to all
taxpayers and give you a glimpse of
the new
that will serve all tax- ,.
payers better. We're not just putting
a new face on the IRS, we're fundamentally changing our organization
and our business philosophy to
serve you better.
The new IRS wiJI be organized
with taxpayer needs in mind. We'll
be composed of "operating divisions" that will specialize in working with groups of taxpayers that
have simiJar needs. One division
will focus on helping our largest
group of taxpayers, those who have ..
only wage and investment income.
Other divisions will work with selfemployed and small business taxpayers, corporations and taxexempt organizations. Our new
organization will result in more of
our employees being available to
work directly with taxpayers and
give them the information and
assistance they need.
Over the next couple of years.
we' II be modernizing the way we
work, with more focus on understanding, solving and preventing •
taxpayer problems. Just as companies develop very particular marketing progrclllls to reach customers
with differing needs, we at the IRS
will be tailoring our publications,
education, comm unications and
assistance programs to taxpayers
with particular needs. We'll be
making filing easier for each taxpayer by providing easily accessible, high-quality assistance. All of
our operations will be designed to
help taxpayers prevent most problems before they occur.
We're also taking advantage of •
technology and introducing more
electronic products and services for
taxpayers. Millions more taxpayers
used our popular e-file and TeleFile
programs last year, and we're making things even easier fore-filers in
1999.
Our latest innovation wiiJ allow
e-filers who owe taxes to have their
tax payments transferred directly to
the U.S. Treasury from their bank
accounts.
Traffic on our Internet site,
where you can find tax help and
download many of our forms and
•
publications. has nearly tripled.
We have new electronic options
for
businesses,
including
941TeleFile for filing employment
tax. returns by phone and the
Electronic Federal Tax Payment
System (EFTPS) for making tax
payments. We're not stopping there.
We have plans for many more inno~
vations in electronic ftling. payment
and communications that will make
fi ling and paying taxes even easier.
At the IRS, we're working hard
to serve taxpayers better. What
we're doing today is only the beginning of an IRS that 1s re-dedicated
to high standards of customer satisfaction and efficiency.

professionals with varying c.legree~

Coach Akers tnherited a young basketball team when she took tlle helm in
October of last year. But the roster wa~
sptinkled with a few veteran players.
Getting the players to adapt to her phi
losophy nf tlle game was the next item
to be addressed.
It has taken the Lady Cats most of
the season to aujust to the demanding
play that Akers has required hut the
hard work and lessons learned may
have paid off.
"We are getting better as a team,''
said Coach Akers. "Some games we
look like we have improved 100 per
cent. then we look like we 5till have a
ways to go."
But overall. Coach Akers is pleased
with the play and chemi~try this team
has displayed this year.
"If I can convince tllem they have
to play a whole game and give eflort
on defense. tllat is the key for us."
Betsy Layne found a floor leader in
senior Amanda Hall and a scorer in
sophomore Jenny Parsons. Parsons
leads the Lady Cat~ in scoring with
just over 16 points per game. But her
work on the defensive end of the floor
ha~ proven to be very valuable along
with her ability to rebound.
It has been a season of testing to
find out who could play what position.
Heather Hamilton had to learn tlle
point guard sloL Hall was moved from
tl1e point to shooting guard while veteran Leslie Hopkins ruled inside.
"Leslie ha~ really been putting forth
an effort," said Coach Akers. "She ha<;
been rebounding for us and tllat is
what we need from her."
WitJ1 the lack of the outside frre
power. Betsy Layne has had to pound
tlle ball inside in looking for points.
But the Lady Cat~ have found success
with tllcir big people undemeath. One
of those has been Sheena Akers, a
junior. Akers gives tlle Lady Cat'> a
strong presence around the baskets and
compliments Hopkins well on the high
poslllow post play.
"Sheena is surprisingly quic~·· said
Akers. ''If I can gel her to use her
quickness of defense we will have it
made."
The Betsy Layne bench has been a
big part of the success of Akers' ballclub. The youth corps is led by Amber
Roberts (sophomore) and Devon
Reynolds (freshman) who have logged
a lot of minutes this season. Tabatha
Mitchell, Kimberly Tackett, and
San1antha Maynard give the Lady
Cats a long bench.

been the problem for the Lady
Raiders. Against Allen Central, a
team that likes the pressure game,
that problem cannot be too good.
If there is one area that this team
needs to improve, it's in their ball
handling skills and better shot
selection.
That's the negative side, but
there have been some very positive changes in the system. The
Lady Raiders can put some points
on the scoreboard, and they have
some legitimate scores.
Margret Morgan has the ability to score from the outside,
including beyond the three-point
arc. But it seems she is hesitant in
taking the shot If the Lady
Raiders are to get past the first
round, Morgan has to open things
up from the outside.
Leadership has to come from
seniors Shawna Hall, Olivia
rebounder and plays decently on
defense.
Berger has not reall)' bloomed
into the player expected out of
her in grade school, but she has
been a consistent player and a
very hard worker on the court.
Berger can burn you from the
three-point line. rebounds well
and is a good team player.
Hall has been nothing but
great this season for the Lady
Raiders. Her soft touch around
the basket and ability to move
without the basketball have her
as a \ita! part of the tournament
success South Flo) d is to find.
She has to perform well for 32
full minutes if the Lady Raiders
entertain any thoughts of pulling
off the upset.
Another player South
Floyd will need help from
will be Monica Newsome.
who gives the Lady Ra1ders
another outside threat. Newsome
is strong outside and handles the
ball well
Three-point shooters, the Lady
Raiders have them in Brooke
Hamilton, Margaret Morgan and
Martha Crawford.
Allen Central poses a problem
to the Lady Raiders in that the
team can go deep off the bench.

been a problem for the Lady
Raiders hut hitting the boards

need help from Berger and
Stewart in controlling the backboards.
The one team in the district that the Raiders have

Lady Raiders v. ill have

as district time arrives.
"Down the stretch, we have to
take care of the basketball," he said.
"We will have the tournament on our
home floor, and we have to take
advantage of that. We will have to
play extremely hard as a team."
South Aoyd started the season as a
good free throw shooting team. but
Coach Webb says that has dropped
off.
"We have struggled from the free
throw line," he said. "We can shoot
well from there. We need to pick it
back up."
Coach Webb said this team needs,
in case Paige cannot return, to jeU
together without him and play well.
"We are doing better executing on
offense and defense." he said. "We
just need to continue playing hard.
Ryan Shannon has been the floor
general for the Raiders and is the second leading scorer on the team. His
ability to run the tea.m at the point has
been a big plus for South Aoyd.
The Raiders are a solid outside
shooting team and the combination of
the inside play of Stumbo and Byron
Hall make the Raiders a very baianced team. Byron Hall is one of the
leading rebounders in the district and
has been a big part of the offense as
well. A solid inside player on defense
and works hard on the defensive
boards.
Stumbo has the soft hands in the
paint area and is hard to contain once
he gets the ball low. Stumbo is averaging around nine points per game.
Kyle Tacken is the type of player
who can kill a defense once be lights
it up from outside. He is deadly from
the three-point circle. PJ. Hall is "Mr.
Defense" inside and a great shot
blocker, as well as rebounder. But his
ability to score inside is not to be
overlooked.
"Byron started
the season off for
us hot but has
trailed off a little,"
said Webb, who
added that Byron
needs to step up
his game. "He is a
very good inside
plar;[;e need fior
er."
Also off the bench is one of the top
eighth graders in the region. and he
plays with much more maturity than
an eighth grader. according to Webb.
''Michael Hall is a very good player and we want to put the ball in his
hands." said Webb. "He has a lot of
confidence out on the floor."
Webb said the
free throws are the
problem for his team
and bad decisions on
the court.
"The opposition has shot 200
more free throws than we have." he
said. "We just need to play smarter
than what we have."

she is a solid player with many

Also off the bench you will find
Susan Scarberry, who has seen
limited action this year. '"Susan
hasn't played as much as the other
girls," said Coach Moore "She is a
senior and plays 10 kC} games. She
does a real good job for us when
she is in there." Jennifer Risner

the Lady Rebels a sohd performer

not afraid to mix it up on defense.
"Jennifer gives us good play off

been sort of sick and her playing
ttme has dwindled quite a bit, but
she gives us a good boost.
l~veryone knows she can shoot the
basketball, but she is a good defen-
sive player, too."
Kari Osborne has played well

She-s a good inside player and

Barb Prater is one of those
types of players who can come in

can have eight or I 0 points. She
shoots the treys with accuracy and
gives a Jot on defense. Coach
Moore said there are some keys for
this team tf they are to win a third
straight title. "We have to be real-
ly patient on offense and pick our
defense up a little bit," said
Moore. ··we have to take care of
the basketball. Our turnovers - I
have been really happy the past
few games and have them down
under 15 which is really good for
us. "What hurt us earlier in the
season was our free throw shooting was terrible and we turned the
ball over 25-30 times a game.
When you play like that you can't
really win. As the season progressed, o ur free throw shooting
ptcked up and our turnovers went
down and we have done a better
job with the basketball."
Allen Central will face South
Floyd in a first round game. The
Lady Rebels defeated the Lady
Raiders in both regular scao;on
games but had to come back to win
in the second contest. But Coach
Moore said playing South Floyd
for a third time doesn't call for any
changes. ··we really don' t change
anything for any specific team,"
said Moore. "We will just go out
and play our game and do what we
arc capable of doing. We try to dictate the pace and not let some other
team come in and decide how we
arc going to play."

Samons voted against the tax.
When the issue of increasing gas
prices wa~ raised, Hall said people
were already having trouble paying
gas bills. Samons satd he could
understand that, but "something has
to be done." The issue was tabled,
but Samons reminded the commisSion to be ready to deal with lhe
matter at the next meeting.
The city buys natural gas at a
rate higher than it sells it. Samons
said thts situation could not continue. City attorney Tim Parker voiced
similar concerns. Parker told the
commission it could either raise
prices or cut services to make up
the differences.
The city has some gas wells that
generate gas but not nearly enough
to supply the city, especially during
the \\-inter months.
Several citizens stayed after the

EditorialA 's tep in the
rigltt direction
Hip, hip. hooray! for the Floyd County Fiscal
Court.
At the suggestion of Judge-Executive Paul
Hunt Thompson, the court is setting up a committee to look at the county's water and sewer
needs and to explore the possibility of tying efforts together for both savings and expansion.
The needs are obvious to many Floyd Countians already - they don't have to be studied.
Less than two-thirds of all the county's residents
have access to a public water system. The other
third-plus are forced to use wells. cisterns and
abandoned coal mines for water which may or
may not be safe and tasty.
Less than one in five Floyd Countians has access to an approved, environmentally-safe public
sewerage system. Some have less than perfect
septic systems. and still more let their waste
empty directly into the nearest stream or over the
hill into a roadside ditch.
(There arc some occasions in which sharing is
not desired, thank you.)
We definitely need a unified effort that wi11 assure good water and proper waste disposal for
everyone in the county. from Weeksbury to Endicott, from Honaker to Ruff and Tuff.
And we need the task to be accomplished as a
planned effort over the entire county, not the
piecemeal approach that has been used with
mixed results.
United, and armed with a countywide plan, the
county has a better chance of garnering grants to
provide \\ ater and sewer services. It can also promote cooperation among systems within the
county, and it can negotiate with surrounding
counties on sharing projects on border areas.
Safe water and sewer systems improve the
quality of life for everyone. But, they also are important in the county's efforts to' attract new business and industry. It's of no less importance in
improvi ng our image, as well as the way we feel
about ourselves as Floyd Countians, eastern Kentuckians and Appalachians. -Pam Shingler

IN SUPPORT OF JUDY COMBS' LETTER
I Editor:
As a life-long resident of Prestonsburg and a
graduate of Prestonsburg Community College. I
would like to publicly endorse the Judy Combs letter of February 17. The letter encouraged members
of our community to write Dr. Tony Newberry,
KCfCS Chancellor. 2670 Research Park Drive.
Lexington, Kentucky 40511, and to share our concerns and frustrations with the current state of affairs
at Prestonsburg Community College.
The letter stemmed from PCC's latest incident.
the reassignment of Dean John Herald and the
placement of Brenda Music, director of financial
aid, on a leave of absence.
Though my heart goes out to Dean Herald and
Brenda Music, I feel that their problems reflect onJy
a small part of the larger picture of frustration and
hopelessness felt by many PCC emplo)'ees. By all
accounts the problems began with the now questionable hiring of Deborah Floyd as PCC's president, especially given her history in higher education in Texas.
As you ma) recall, Floyd has had, and continues
to have, on-going connict with the majority of the
teaching faculty at PCC. Last fall, Floyd had a major
conflict with Morehead State University. causing
MSU to move all of their classes from the PCC
campus. Some were moved to the First Baptist
Church v.hich I attend. Now, apparently. Aoyd is at
v.ar with the staff at PCC.
Having spoken v. ith several members of the PCC
community, there is a consensus of an environment,
concealed from the public (thankfully), laced with
incivility and hostility. I truly believe that it is time
for a major change at PCC in order to get our college back to the institution of higher education that
we expect, a college which we can look upon with
pride and respect.
I would like to encourage all PCC alumni and
people of our community to speak out and let their
opinions be known on this most important of issues.

'IS A TOPLESS MOUNTAIN STILL A MOUNTAIN?'
Will 1999 he the year that mountains go topless?
Come to think of it, is a topless mountain still a
mountain?
Seriously, who would consider destroying a Kentucky landmark, the peak of Black Mountain, the
highest point in the state? You guessed it-a coal
company! And if the mountain top is removed. as
the coal company describes the operation, and the
trees and brush arc gone. what's to prevent rainwater from cascading down the mountainside and
flooding a large portion of Harlan County?
Is the coal company going to build a dike around
Black Mountain to save people and property down
its valley'/ Don't bet on it.

some 50 plant and animal species found in the higher elevations of Black Mountain, the same elevations that Jericho! Mining wants to strip mine.
Looking hack on the year:. Jerico! Mining has
been active in Harlan County. one would have to say
that the company is best known for it:. labor troubles, not its effort to preserve the environment. (Remember when they had to haul their miners to work
in armored cars'!)
This is not :-.omething that affects only eastern
Kentucky. If printte concerns can get away with
state landmarks, what will they pick on next?

Staff writer
Everything is relative. If you don't believe this is so. read on and then make up
your mind.
A small elephant would make a very
large mosquito. See what I mean'? But that
example is too obvious and doesn't really
mean much. Let's take examples from our
lives where the differences do mean a
'
great deal.
People are always talking about standards of living. class status and things like
that.
I
am
gomg to assumc that most
people
have
......
good food to
eat, warm clothes to wear, and a roof over
their heads.
I may be assuming too much. but the
people I know have theo;e things. It's after
we get past the basics that things get relative.
When I was growing up. a fami ly that
had a house. one car, and a television (for
the lucky few) was indeed "moving on
up.'' Now. the car in most cases was not
new and the television was a black and
white that got a total of one channel and
the screen looked as if the stage were set in
a snow storm somewhere near Buffalo,
New York.
What would happen if a family had that
same set up today? I'll tell you what:
Every agency in the country would be assisting that family to bring them into the
mainstream.
The family would have to have at least
two cars so both husband and wife could
work to pay for the two cars and at least a
56 inch big-screen television that would
get 300 channels.
Maybe the family that had the small
black and white television was luckier.
The family ju ... t got one channel, but they
did have time to watch it. Nov. we buy so
many things that we don't have time to
enjoy them. Or worse, we have 300 channels and still can't find anything worth
watching.
When I was gro\ving up on Frasure's
Creek, we had to use wood and coal for ~
heat because we could not afford gas or
electricity. Now we have to usc electricity
because we can't afford wool] and coal.
Such examples make me wonder if we
wouldn't be better off with less. Everyone
in the family now has his/her own television so we end up speaking to each other
in passing - to the bathroom, that is.
Wouldn't it be better if we had just one
television so we could watch it together
and at least discus~ how lou-.y television
has gotten?
The relative pan comes in because we
base our wants (not our needs) on what the
other guy has rather than on what we really want After a person gets the basic rc- ,.
quirements for a comfortable life. from ,-_
that point on purchases arc made in large
pan for show.
The reaction is something like this,
"Look what I have! I don't ha-.c time to
use it, but I have it to impress - myself.
as much as anyone else.··
If the electricity goes off these days,
people get in a panic and I guess rightly so,
but when I was growing up, we went to a
room without one BTU of heat and we got
under enough covers to bury a sumo
wrestler.
We didn't complain. because the kids
down the road that had the television and
car went to a similar room. We thought
that was the way it was supposed to be.

successfully sponsored reunions in
1997 and I 994. The interest and
participation for both reunions was
exceptional.
The next reunion will be on the

Most of the western counttes in
Kentucky will soon be getting a new
area code, 270, when the state's latest area code update takes effect on
November l. Coalfields Telephone's
customers in eastern Kentucky will
not experience the area code change,
except in the way they d1al friends
and fami ly in Kentucky's reassigned
areas.
"Kentucky) area code change
follows those 10 other states," said
Coalfields Director of Operations
James Campbell. "With the increa'e
of the general population and the
overwhelming requests for addllional lines, a new area code is needed.
Technologies like fax machines,
modems, cellular phones and second
lines for Internet access ha\ e
reduced the potential telephone number combinations within the 502 area
code."
To help residents adjust to the
new area code, residents in the
effected areas will be able to usc both
502 and 270 to make calls in the area
beginning May l. However, beginning November 1, only 270 will be
effective in the designated areas.
Campbell adds that customers
should update any equipment with
preprogrammed calling, speed dialing. cellular phones, pagers, fax
machines. business cards, Internet
access numbers. notifymg family
members and business customers ol
the new area code a-; well as update
personal directories that contain
phone numbers in the reassigned
counties.
The addition of the 270 area code
gives Kentucky three area codes:
eastern Kentucky. 606, which is
unaffected by the change; the
Louisville area, 502. and the rest of
the state, 270.

Saving for
retirement
with a n IRA
It
Pam Butcher Assistant Vies PresilJent
Cit1zens Nat1onf Bank, Paintsville, KY
FACT:
Nearly one half of all Americans
have less than $10,000 in savings.
One of the b1ggest smgle investment tax breaks Congress has ever
g1ven to middle-class Amencans to save for the1r reurements 1s the
Individual Retirement Account, or IRA. As little as $2,000 per year
mvested for 10 to 15 years can accumulate substantial earmngs by
being compounded m a tax-free-growth Roth IRA or tax-deferred
traditiOnal IRA.
Q. What is the primary differe nce between a trad itional IRA
and t1 new Roth IRA?
A. TraditionallRAs let eligible savers deduct up to $2,000 a year in
contributions from their taxable mcome and defer taxes on the
account until the funds are withdrawn after age 59 1/2 Roth IRA
deposits are not deductible. but earnings are exempt from taxes.
Q, Should I convert my regu lar IRA to" Roth IRA?
A. The conversion of an ordinary IRA to a Roth IRA will be very
beneficial to many people. There are two main categones of people
who can benefit from the Roth IRA conversion: (1) anyone over
age 59 1/r. (2) anyone else who has funds outs1de of their IRA wah
wh1ch to pay taxes due upon conversion. The benefit to the larger
number of people who have regular lRAs and convert is that they
wtll be able to enJOy more after·tax spendable mcome for the rest
of thm lives. I[ there is mone)' left in the1r Roth IRA at death, it
benefits their heirs.
Q. Can you still make a contribut ion to a 1998 IRA account?
A. Yes, in most cases. you can make contributions until ApnllS
1999. Some people v.'ill find it very benefic1al to fund the maximum
$2.000 amoum to their IRA because it rs a tax deductible
sheltered investment.
If you want to learn more abour how you can save and mvest in taxfree or tax-deferred IRA accounts, call (606) 789·4001 or see Pam
Butcher, Assistant Vice President, at Citizens Nauonal Bank, 620
Broadway, Paintsville. KY.

Hall told us all about what the
most addtctive drug was. The most
addictive drug is called ice. After
the first taste, you need it again
He also told us that if you smoke
a whole pack of cigarettes every
day for a year that it would be like
drinking a cup of tar. He talked
about how drugs affect your mind
and how you think.
He discussed tobacco and how
easy it is to get any sort of cancer.
In just that one day, Deputy Hall
changed my mind about taking anything that has to do with drugs.
Mr. Willie
Elliott's Visit
by Miranda Collins
Willie Elliott visited Mrs. Shelia
Ratliff's class last week. He talked
about how he works for the Aoyd
County limes.
He just put a photograph of the
American flag in the paper. He abo
wrote an article about school attendance. I thought that was nice and
maybe some kids will ~tart coming
to school by what the article said.
He also talked about a byline
which I thought was cool because I
didn't know what a byline was. I
learned a lot from him while he was
talking.
The
Paintsville
Utilities
Commission wants a judge to decide
whether a Floyd County utilities
company has-exclusive right'> to pro·
vide gas service to customers in a
secuon of Johnson County.
The commission'~> attorney. Scott
Preston, filed a petition last Friday in
Johnson Circuit Court requesting a
declaration of rights in a dispute with
Mountain Uulitics of Prestonsburg.
The petition says that Mountasn
Utilities provides gas to some customers in the area along new US 460
in which Paintsville Utilities "furnishes water and sewage to an extent
and for which sewage is planned in
the future." Paintsville Utilities plans
to provide gas service in the area, but
Mountain Utilities has "claimed in
the past that they have an exclusive
right to service those customers in
that area," the petition says.
"(Paintsville Utilities) has been
advised by the Public Service
Commission that there is no exclusive territory granted to Mountain
Utilities Inc., and that they are sub·
ject to competition as any other com- pany would be in any industry,'' the
petition says. "As a result of the controversy between the parties, the Big
Sandy Regional Detention Center
has requested service from the
Paintsville Utility System, and due
to the claim by Mountain Utilities,
Inc., of ns exclusive territory of ~r
vicc, nn actual controversy does
exist.''
The city utilitiec; commission
seeks a declaration of rights concerning its right to "provide gas service
to any potential customer along it-;
lines whether they be in an area that
Mountain Utilities Inc., is presently
serving or not, and for any and all
other rehef to which it may appear
en tilled.''

We played. we cried. we loved.
Two kids could never have had
so much love. so much protcc·

one could tell us apart until we
got mamed. By the way, Dad
always said, "if a man married
11
one. he would have to take the
other.'' We shared our toys, good
things to eat, and studied our
lessons together.
I shall always remember my
sweet twin sister and some day in
Heaven. we 'hall meet again. I
can just picture us going up
Hea\'en's golden stairs. There.
standing in Heaven\ doorway.
will be our mom and dad and all
my sisters and brothers who beat
me home. What a glorious and
happy moment when we all
dance around God':, big throne.
At last all the children will be
where mom and dad call home.

Sports Editor
It took overtime, but the Allen Central Rebels
avenged an earlier loss to the Phelps Hornets this
past Thursday night as the Rebel fans said goodbye to four seniors on Senior Night at the J.E.
Campbell Arena.
But it took the heroics of senior Jesse Hall and
his long range shooting to give the Rebels new
., hope in an 83-80 overtime win. Hall finished the
game with 18 points but his two treys late in the
game proved to be big baskets for Allen Central.
Gary Hunter Jed the Rebels' scoring with 20
points. Brian Jones netted 15 while Nick Samons
overcame some early shooting woes and poured
in 14 points. Sophomore Larry Mullins scored
10. Ryan Owens had four and Rodney Scott two.
The win improved the Rebels to 21-6 on the
season as they closed out their regular season
schedule. Phelps fell to 14-8 on the year.
Allen Central, as the team has done so many
times this season. had to overcome a deficit in
order to pull out the regional win. Down 10
points, 66-56, with less than five minutes to play,

Take a long look at the just
completed Betsy Layne season. It
was a disappointing one at that
since when the season began the
Bobcats and coaching staff
were hopeful to have a
winning year with the
younger players and
build on that for the
future.
TI1ings don't always
tum out the way they're planned,
but for Betsy Layne. if you believe
in moral-victories, the season was
full of them. Yet, they still added
up to losses.
The Bobcats finished the season
at 8-15 and had hoped that would
have been reversed in '98-'99. But
the Cats were hardly blown out of
any game and played all the
regional powers close, not being
able t0 get the big basket they
needed.
Allen Central brings the best
overall record to the Classic, finishing 22-6 on the season. The
Rebels are the number one seed in
the tournament.
Tonight, coach Tim Rice will
put his team on the t1oor at Raider
Arena on top of Mount Raider and
he is hoping his Cats will have a

they face top seed Allen Central in

CHEERLEADING: ARE
THE MOUNTS DANGEROUS?
At the Phelps/Allen Central
game Thursday night, the Allen
Central cheerleaders were getting into their mount, something they have done many
times this basketball season.
I focused my camera on
them and was ready to snap the
routine when one of the cheerleaders lost her balance and
went tumbling down.
I hold my breath when I see
that happen. Sure, there is
someone down below to break
the fall, but what if they had
something against you? Well,
anyway, I have seen them fall
to the floor with a thump! I just
get concerned about them.
his ''cool" and play his game.
Adam Tackett has been the most
consistent Bobcat this season lf
Tackett gets behind the Allen
Central press he could put some
points on the board in a hurry.
Bradley Brooks has really
bloomed as a basketball player
after getting his legs back from
football. A very strong rebounder.
Bradley will have several offensive
put-backs.
Tommy Taulbee runs at the two
guard slot but doesn't look for his
..shot that often. He can score and is
a "big guard" that gives Betsy
Layne added height around the
basket
Justin Bartley guides the team
at the point and ~e. like Brooks,
has found the stroke from the outside. Bartley is one of those players, you wonder if he can get it up
from the are, and soon the doubts
arc gone after he buries three
straight. A good basketball player.
Mr. Three-pointer could be
Michael Gross, who has been on a
tear of late. coming off the Betsy
Layne bench. When in the groove
from the three-point arc, he can
bury a team in a hurry. Gross has to
hit from the outside to open up the
middle for the Cats.
Anthony Tackett can do many
things with the basketball and he
will have to use all the talent he has
against the Rebels. Tackett ts
quick, good foot speed and a good
outside shooter. He will be a key in
thts game.

Sports Editor
When you talk to Willard Ousley
of Prestonsburg, one of the things he
will share with you is the success that
his granddaughter, Angie Brewer, has
found in the coaching ranks at Sesser
Valier Elementary in Illinois.
Brewer's middle school team captured the Illinois state championship
recently.
"I thought what she accomplished
m the short time of coachmg was worthy of recognition," said Ousley. "We
-_ are very proud of her."
Brewer's ties to Willard Ousley
and his wife, Cathlene, come by his
daughter, Barbara, who married John
Brewer after the two met while
attending Prestonsburg Community
College in 1971. John joined the Air

Force and later the couple were married.
Later they moved to Ina, Illinois.
Angie Brewer was a standout m
athletics and entered the coachmg
ranks at Sesser Valier Elementary. Her
team. proved to worthy contenders for
the Class M state championship and
won a thriller over Nashville, 34-31.
One of the thmgs Brewer stressed to
her team was defense.
··we did a great job of covering
their top scorers," said Brewer of the
win over Nashville. Our transition
game was very good on defense."
With the win over Nashville, the
Lady Red Devtls were jtttery as they
faced Salem-Selmaville in the championship game at Rend Lake College.
The Lady Red Devils pulled out a 2726 squeaker to capture the state championship. Sesser-Valier opened the
tournament with a 34-30 win over
Christopher, their first win over the
school in four tries this season.
According to Willard, two colleges
are pursuing Angie as a possible assistant at the1r school.
"One of those is Southern illinois,''
said Ousley. "She has applied for the
job."
For Willard and Cathlene Ousley,
they have every reason to be proud of
Angie Brewer, who one day could be
a head college coach.

RICK JONES: TUBBY'S

Last year Tubby Smith passed

pressed a reluctant Eddie Sutton to
offer Pelphrey a UK jersey. A year
later Rick Pitino confessed he
would never have recruited
Pelphrey.

hangs in Rupp Arena.
The horns of this en' iabk
dilemma arc pas,ed to a UK coach

'PRACTICING

It was a baseball trade last wuck
that did it, along with a paragraph
from USA Today columnist Jon
Saraceno. Caused me to look closer at thts <;pace. First. David Welb.
YanJ.-.cc fan fa\orite of Ruthian
proportions, was traded for
Toronto's Roger '"Shov. me you
love me with a fe'' mtllion more"
Clemens.
Clearly, Yankee management's
way of expressing fan appreciation. Then. it was a long semcnce
from Saraceno that had the short
punch power of a DeLa Hoya left
hook. "Over the years I've vigorously engaged in the idolatry of
teams and athletes. first worshipping pseudo-heroes as a young fan,
then as a practicing mythologist
(sportswriter)."
Practicing mythologist. I liked
that. I used to be one. too.

sugary wonderments about the

hO\\ we were practicing mythologists. The coach was not perfect
every day. He lied. believing it was
"only to reporters." ignoring readers.
The player. those who could
make a sentence, said the right
stuff, but had been programmed,
rehearsed. And the sports administrator spun his own mumbojumbo, but sold out. And there is
the media's sullied underside, I've
known sportswriters who scalped
NCAA game tickets: have seen
facts deleted from stories and
columns to please advertisers: seen
column angles chosen to demean a
coach when an exclusive interview
request was denied: read an admis-
sion of leaked information damning a !-.Chool he wrote about, costing a tax supported institution
thousands of dollars.
Writers condemn gambling in
sports, while point spreads arc pub·
lished in stories; administrators
condemn alcohol use by college
students, while accepting sponsor
money from brewing houses. And,
the coaches good -old-boy network
has a worthy rival in the media's
clique-ish, gosstpy club.
Practicing mythologists? The

administrator, a lifetime pass to
praise. placing him above scrutiny
for making a poor decision or

Ever changing mythology? A
year ago Tubby Smith was the toast
of the national media tribe and certainly in Kentucky. Meanwhile,
Denny Crum was being skewered.
Too old. too complacent, too cor·
rupt. Too Nixon-esque.
Twelve months later Cool Hand
Lu~c- isms are fashiOnable once
more as UofL has risen from its
ashes. Tubby's team~ lost back-toback games in the south. and
Monday morning coaches were out
in full regalia in coffee shops
across the state.
Metro media spin? No scented
bouquet-ed columns done about
Crum. But lots of "maybe this team
tsn't as good as we thought." compasston for Smith. Facts are, there
was cheating at UofL, and Denny
Crum has done a miracle coaching.
At Kentucky, these Wildcats have
underachieved and Tubby has not

Pulling things together
by Josh Martin
Mrs. Martins 4th grade class
read a story in reading about carnivorous plants. Carnivorous plants
are plants that eat meat. Mrs.
Martin assigned the class to do a
project to make up your own
Carnivorous Plant. The plant could
either have an active trap or a passive trap. An active trap is a trap
that shuts when food enters the
trap, a pa<isive trap is a (Tap that
traps it's food by some sweet or
ronchy smell. When the day came
to display the plants, there was
many different sorts of plants.
There was only three original
plants. But they all can tum out
good.

A few months ago. the Duff
Elementary Newspaper staff took a
field tnp to the Floyd County
Times in Prestonsburg. Ky. We -;aw
how everything was done to be able
to distrubute the newspaper twice a
week.
A long time ago. they used to
paste the articles one by one onto
large sheets of paper. Nov. they use
meor modem technology. Instead
of printing out page-by-page, they
use one large printer to print everying out at the same time.
Everything comes out as a vef)
large negative. A scanner that they
use can take a photo from off the
computer screen and it comes out
in color. lf your school wants to be ~
in the newspaper. you can sent the
articles to them on a Iorge sheet of
paper so it can be placed on the
computer omer easily. Nothing will
change on your arttcle except that
the newspaper staff will proofread
it and correct any mistakes.
ln the storage room. where they
keep the paper. there are about 75
humoongous paper rools. The rolls
are 3 feet tall and weigh 91 0
pounds each! Now that is "alot'' of
paper!
They have a small room . that is
called the dark room . That ts where
they develop the pictures to be used
in the newpuper.
For making the ne\\-Spaper. a
large (J'anspearcnc) i!> placed on a
metal frame and then they are melted together. Then. tt is fed through
the printer
Did you ever wonder why you
don't get ink on your hands while
reading the paper? Well. it is truly
amazing.
While the papers are being folded by a machine. a chemical is
brushed onto the paper, b) the same
machtne. The chemical is used to
keep ink from smearing. So. that is IW
why your hands stay ink free.
While on our 'isit. a member of
the Floyd County Times staff took
a picture of the Duff Elementary
Newspaper stnff. The camera that
\Vas used was as big as. if not higger that your head. It was the
biggest camera that I ha\ c ever
seen. The photo wns scanned
through a printer and then was
printed out. The staff member then
made copies for us so we each had
a copy to take home as a 'ouvenir.
This was the end of a great tield
trip. It was not only an educational
trip. it wa~; also a fun trip. lnts is
what I learned at the Floyd County
Times. If you ever get the ~hance to •
visit them. I recommend that you
do so.

Just when you thought it was
time for gas prices to bottom out,
down they go again. The national
average price of self-serve regular
unJeaded gasoline fell another 1.9
cents in one month to 96 cents per
gallon. according to the latest AAA
Fuel Gauge Report. It's the fourth
straight month that prices have
declined.
"If drivers get the feeling they're
living in the 70's again, there's a
good reason for that. The fact is, this
~national average price is the cheapest
since it was at 94.8 cents a gallon in
August of 1979," said Dan Dickson,
public relations manager for AAA
Blue Grass/Kentucky. "Low gas
prices have become the norm rather
than the exception over the past
year," added Dickson. The current
average national price is 15.4 cents
cheaper than in February 1998.
Kentucky's average price stayed
the same. The average price for a
gallon of self-serve unleaded regular
was 89 cents. Kentucky has the
•nation 's 1Oth cheapest gas price. The
lowest average can be found in
Georgia at 82 cents. followed by
South Carolina at 84 cents and
Missouri at 85 cents. Don't drive in
Hawaii if you're looking for bargains. The average price there is a
whopping $1.56 per gallon, the high.
est in the U.S.
Meanwhile, in Lexington. rollercoaster gas prices continue to frustrate drivers. A survey of 30 gas stations in the city found the average
price for unleaded regular to be 81
cents a gallon, down 12 cents from

As long as Jeremy could remember, he had
wanted a dog. For his 11th birthday, his parents gave him a large box that wiggled and
yapped.
"A dog! I know it's a dog!"
Jeremy hurriedly opened the loosely
wrapped container and out tumbled a wagging, licking cocker spaniel whose tail was
flipping from side to side so quickly that its
whole rump seemed to jump from the floor.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Jeremy asked as the
puppy tried to climb into his lap, lick his face
and chew the box all at the same time.
"It's a girl."
"She's beautiful! Her color reminds me of
the sand on a beach. I'm going to call her
'Sandy.'"
One of their very favorite times together
was when Jeremy would ride his bike in the
park with Sandy running alongside him. She
would stop, sniff, toss her floppy ears and then
zoom ahead of Jeremy. Then, she would then
wait for him to catch up and zoom off again.
She thought this was the greatest game. When
Jeremy stopped and got off his bike, she
would run up to him, barking happily, and
then sit and look at him, with her tongue hanging out. She always looked so silly that
Jeremy would have to laugh. She would then
proudly tumble into his lap, as if she had just
told a very funny joke.
A year went by. That summer. at the end of
a busy day swimming at the beach, Jeremy
complained to his mother that he had a
headache and stiff neck. The next morning,
Jeremy was worse. He could not get out of
bed. When the doctor was called, the stiffness
had gotten so bad that Jeremy could hardly
move.
''I'm afraid Jeremy has polio," the doctor
said.
Jeremy spent three months in the hospital.
When he finally came home, he had a brace
on one of his legs and he needed crutches to
walk. Sandy was so happy to see him that she
refused to leave his side.
"Every time Sandy saw someone ride by
on a bike, she would bark and run back and
forth in the back yard. Then she would whine
and whine," Jeremy's father told him.
"Well, I can never ride a bike now," Jeremy
half-whispered.
The next morning, Jeremy limped out to
the garage with his crutches to look at his
Schwinn-Flyer, all red and chrome and shiny.
Sandy immediately began to jump and yap
and wag her tail.
"No, I can't Sandy. I can't," Jeremy cried.
Sandy just whined. She did not understand.
Every day after that, Sandy would run out
to the garage and back to Jeremy. barking and
wagging her tail.
Sandy did not understand the word "can't."
Finally, Jeremy said, ''Okay. okay, Sandy,
but my leg is so weak."
As Jeremy climbed on the bike, Sandy
barked happily, ran furiously around the bicycle and wagged her tail. Jeremy started to ride,
then he suddenly fell. He started to cry, and
immediately Sandy ran up to him where he
lay sprawled on the ground, and she started to
lick his face. His crying turned to laughing
because Sandy's tongue tickled him.
"Okay, I'll try again!" The second t1me. he
fell again - but, this ume, not as hard. The
third and fourth times. he fell and started to
laugh.
"Sandy, now I'm getting mad!"
Finally, after a number of tries, he did not
fall.
Sandy sat on the ground, and if she could
talk, she would probably have said. "I knew
you could do it."
It was a slow process but, after three
months, Jeremy was slowly riding his bicycle
again. After another four months. he was
walking with a cane and no brace on his leg.
Sandy never knew that she was one of the
main reasons why. today, Jeremy is a normal
grown-up who does not even limp. She was
only a dog and did not understand.
Or did she?

1999 By Jack Canfield and Mark Victor
Hansen
For as long as 1 can remember. and even though I don't do
it very well. I've enjoyed
singing in church. Not solos. or
anything, but JUSt joining in with
other members of the congregation and singmg those old
hymns with which we've all
become so familiar.
After reaching adulthood,
though. r ve started to wonder
about church singing. or at least
the ''let's all stand and sing" part
of it.
I've decided that it could be
dangerous: that I'm rislong life
and limb just by standmg to
sing.
Take. for instance, the time
when a lady almost hanged me.
Perhaps this would have been an
appropriate action when I was a
kid and probabl> needed hanging. But now? I mean. I'm talking about something that happened just a few years back.
We'd stood to sing. As the
song ended, natural!), we all sat
down. As I bent over to sit. my
tie fell over the back of the pew
in front of me. M> sitting motion
continued. but so did the lady's
in the pew in ti·ont of me. As I
sat, she sat...on my tie. I fdt like
some cattle mstler in an old B
Western as the knot tightened
around my neck. Fortunately.
she was not a big woman and
before any real harm was done. I
realized what had happened and
managed to jerk free.
Even though T could have
been strangled. my wife Wilma
laughed. She laughs at the
strangest things.
She didn't laugh, hov.ever. on
another occasion when great
harm could haYe come to me
because of my standing to smg.
We'd been late for church that
day. and the only seats aYailable
were on the very back row Now.
these weren · t your typical
church pews. What they were.
were four old-fashioned wooden. school auditonum seats. 'You
remember the kmd. They had
the fold-up bottom~ and \Vere
connected to each other.
Well, these four seats were
connected to each other. but to
nothing else. What 1 mean 1s.
they weren't nailed to the floor
1
or anything. Somebody had rescued them from the trash bin of
some old school somewhere and
sat them in the back. of the auditorium. just in case the) were
needed some time ... lil-..e toda).
Anyway. my wife. our son.
Todd, another gentleman. and
m)self were occupying these
seats.
We'd stood to sing. When the
song was over. we sat down. For
some reason. l sat before the
other three sat. Maybe I sat too
hard, but for whate\er reason.
all four seats flipped over back
wards. There I Ia). Oat on m)
back, my feet sucking 'traight
up, right in the middle of the
church service. This time.
Wilma \\as too embarrassed to
laugh. As J matter of fact. she
1
just stood there staring at the
!long book. Todd, who was a
teenager at the time. stared
straight ahead. as if he tigured,
"If I don't look. it didn't happen."
Fortunately. the gentleman on
the end had the presence of mind
to pull both me and the seats
upright. Then on the count of
three. we all four sat down.
I don't expect to see warning
labels printed on the backs of
songbooks. but take it from me.

THE VALENTINE
My husband is not the greatest
gift giver that ever went to the
store. For all our years together, l
have bought gifts on special occasions like birthdays and Christmas
for the family and friends and
~igned both our names to the cards
When someone says. "Thanks for
the gift." he usually says, ''You're
surcl) \\elcome" when. in fact. he
doe-;n't even know what the gift is.
But he docs like to bu) cards for
me
on
special
occasiOns.
Sometimes they're mush}. and
sometimes the) 're more matter of
fact. I on the other hand. enJOY
choosing gifts whether it's a special
occaston or not.
We were dri\ ing up the road on
Saturday before Valentine's day
and he said. "I want to find you a
pretty Valentine card.'' J said. "You
don't need to get me a card. I don't
have one for you:· But he reminded me 1 had just brought home a
new 'htrt and said, '"Here's a
Valentine gift for you."
''I've got a suggestion," I told
him. "A card you would choose
would cost you about five dollars.
Why don't you just tell me what
you want to say and give me the
money?" He just grinned. Maybe
he thinks Hallmark can say it better.
When I came into the kitchen
Sunday morning. the big V day. he
had coffee made and a card placed
by m) cup. I opened it and saw
there were two one dollar bills
enclosed. "What's this for?" I
asked.
He said, "1 couldn't find a card
as nice as I wanted, so I'm giving
you the difference in the price."
I'm sure he got exactly the card
he wanted, regardless of what it
cost. for the message read. "1 was
going to wish you a wildly romantic and passionate Valemine's Day,
but then I remembered, what's the
usc'> You're married!"
he was an instructor at the
Kirksville (Mo.) College of
Osteopathic Mcdtcine (KCOM).
Wolf received a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Purdue
Univer<.tt) in 1969 and a doctor of
osteopathy (D.O.) degree from
KCOM in 1973. After graduating
from KCOM. he completed an
internship at Saginaw Osteopathtc
Hospital in Sagmaw. Mich. He is
board certified in family medicine
by the American Osteopathic Board
of Fami ly Practice.
A native of lndtana, Wolf was in
private practice in New Castle, Ind.,
for three years prior to becoming a
medical educator. During this period. he also worked in the emergency department at Henry County
Memorial Hospital and as a company physictan for Ingersoll Steel Co.

THE ONE NOT SENT
Along about the ftrst of
February. I stopped by a K-Mart
store on u quick errand I walked by
the greeting card depanment and
spotted some small Valentine cards
for special friends. I picked up
three 0 1 four. thinking I would go
back when there was more time to
choose others tor some family
members and other close friends.
I don't kno\\. "here the time
went but l ncver got back, not even
to get a special card for the grandchildren and people I ordinarily
give aHention to. One lady. especiall). de5en ed a card and a little
note of thanks for many things. I
doubt that she missed it. for she is
so much more used to giving than
to recci\ in g.
This lad) \\as born with some
God-given talents She could play a
mu.;ical instrument by ear. draw
and paint beautiful pictures and
write eloquent words. But there
was never opportunlt) to polish and
market these gifts because someone
else was .always needi ng her time
and auentton. Whi le still in her
teens her own mother became 1ll
and died. leaving her with a house- .,
hold and two brothers and two sisters. younger than herself. to care
for.
When the brothers and sisters
gre\\ · up and became independent.
others came along to need the care
she gave-children. grandchildren,
niece!', nephews and strangers that
wandered through her gates. Caring
for other people became a way of
life for her.
She doesn't like to travel She
hkes to help others get ready to go.
She will launder clothes, polish
shoes and pack lunches, wanting
everything to be just right for whoever she's involved with. And when
they've returned. she wi ll listen to
their experiences as though she had
enJoyed them herself
Her name is Syh ia, my sister,
and this is Ill) belated Valentine

McCormick said the union has
352 members in the bargaining unit
at HRMC and has tiled a petition for
an election to include the hospital's
106 registered nurses.
She added that some union members have reported that the hospital
has been htring subcontractors to do
maintenance work.
However, Rubado said that the
facility has long-standing contracts
for several services. She said the
recent contracting to have floors
stripped was necessitated because
regular employees "got behind.''
Two union representatives are in
Prestonsburg now to investigate the
B0 E
hospital's actions and counsel those
employees who were let go.
According to Rubado. the decision to eliminate the staff positions
was made "only after much consideration and effortS to find other solutions were exhausted.''
Harold Warman. president and
chief executive officer, expressed
regrel~. "We understand it will be a
real hardship on the 44 individuals
and their families. We share our concern for those affected and have
made every attempt to make this
change as fair and compassionate as
possible."
The health care organization will
begin a planning process this spring
to define its future course, Rubado
said. The process will be guided by
one) ~
three goals, 10 panicular. according
to the news release:
• the commitment to remain "an
independent. community-owned and
operated organization;"
• the commitment to be "the preeminent health care provider in the
market it serves;" and
• change and improvement to
"better meet the health carl.! needs of
the commumty."
To achieve these goals, "the leadership of the organization had to take , \
the necessary steps to restore the
financial vigor" of the organization,
Rubado said. In addition to the staff
cuts, the hospital is looking at other
ways to be "more cost efficient in an
environment of decreasing reimbursements."

'DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
RELIGION AND SALVATION'
Editor:
Thts letter is in response to an article by Lloyd
Blue Goble (FCT. January 27. 1999). titled ·'Do we
need another church?" Mr. Goble seems to be using a
broad brush to paint a very negative picture of "all the
churches of Appalachia" in general and the churches
of rloyd County in panicular.
Also in another article (FCr. February 17. 1999).
titled "Discussion on religion encouraged." it seems
that Mr. Goble has softened his views on "attacking"
the churches. He has asked ~cvcral questions. and I
suppose he will get several answer!) conceming reli·
gion.
However. it is my belief that there is quite a difference between religion and salvation, and it hru. always
occn my belief that each of us has responsibiliues. as
citizens who pay taxes, to be concerned about good
gO\ emment and that our tax dollars should be spent
wisely by those we dcct to represent us.
HO\\<ever. in St. Luke 20:25, Jesus said. ·'Render
therefore unto Caesar the things \\.hich be Caesar's.
and unto God the thmgs which be God's."
And, just how tmportant is it for souls to be saved?
Again, in St. Mark 8:36-37, Jesus says. "For what
shall it profit a man if he ~hall gain the whole world
and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in ex·
change for his soul'1"
This is in no way intended to amuse. abuse or con-
to

But I would like to cordially invite Mr. Goble to
call me at his convenience and be my special guest
and auend church service wtth me.
l assure Mr. Goble that we will not park on
''stolen'' gravel or blacktop and that Mr. Goble will be
welcomed by everyone. l can also assure him that no
one will oll'end him. unless he finds the Bible offensive.
Also, I assure Mr. Goble that he will hear about
Jesus and the plan of salvation. and why it is important to put God first in our lives. Being a full-time
Christian is not grievous. 11 ts full -time peace. joy and
hope.

This being a time and place where
a good rumor is grabbed up,
slathered with real butter, swallowed
whole and then spit out with extras, it
is no surprise that one making the
rounds concerns the chairman of the
board of education.
That's understandable because this
is also a time and place where rumors
and wars of rumors seem to thrive in
regard to anything connected to the
school system. It is aJso a time and
place
where
the
negative aJways
seems
to surface
first and fastest, like a sea monster
breaking through the water in an old
horror movie. And the negative is
nearly always believable.
Recently, a reporter for the Lexington Herald-Leader was in Floyd
County to do a profile on interim superintendent/state manager Woody
Carter. Board Chairman Terry Dotson. Carter. the Lexington reporter,
and I had lunch together. at Caner's
request.
It was an interesting session that
lasted an hour and a half. During that
time both Carter and Dotson stressed
the positive strides the local system
has made in the last year or so. particularly under the shadow of state
management.
Both emphasized how negative
forces and negative publicity have
harmed students across the county
and how desperately they both want
students to receive an excellent education and to be able to feel proud
about attending Floyd Count)
schools.
The article was published on Feb
ruary 14, and Carter can proudly add
it to his portfolio. It was quite positive on his behalf. The two or three
lines that focused on Dotson. however, were just the opposite.
Chances are that no more than a
few hundred Floyd Countians read
the piece. But, in no time. people
across the county were talking about
it The "Tsk! Tsk!" crowd are still
having a field day.
The reporter quotes Dotson as saying a valedictorian from a Floyd
County high school had to enroll in
remedial courses in college. The
quote is both inaccurate and out of
context.
The conversation had to do with
the sadness all of us felt over the
school system. 1 noted that when 1
covered school board meetings I 0
years or so ago for this newspaper, 1
would cry on the way home because
of the political machinations of those
running the system and because of
the problems that beset the young
people who were brought before the
board for disciplinary action. problems that neither the board nor the
school system could fix.
Dotson followed then with a story
that he said had brought him almost
to tears. Almost a decade ago, he and
other members of the board of an
area college had been informed that
the valedictorian of one of the re·
gion 's largest high schools had been
enrolled in remedial courses.

I'm sure, has done a good bit of
damage. People read the paper
and believe it to be the Truth,
and it is not always. The cynics,
the naysayers, the eternal critics, and particularly those who
don't want this board to succeed are chomping at the bit;
can't you hear the delighted
snorts. But they' re wrong on
this point.
On this page. I have criticized the school board on a
couple of occasions. and no
doubt will again. However,
Dotson is innocent of the accusations that are being made
against him regarding the recent
Herald-Leader article. Best lay
them to rest and begin the
daunting uphill battle to ensure
that there is no basis for anyone
to mal ign any part of our local
school system.

any of our schools in th1s
region could be under-serving
•audents in such a wav. He said
he was outraged that
our
school systems in the region
were not doing everything pos• sible to provide the best education to students. He added that,
as a businessman. he knows the
economy of the region cannot
grow until we improve our eduL'ational systems.
At any rate. Dotson never
said the high school in question
wac; in Floyd County - and.
indeed. it is not. He never once
spoke disparagingly about our
students. In the course of the
long luncheon conversation, he
saiJ several timec; that we need
to do more to present the school
~ system's success ~tories so that
students \\'ill not be ashamed.

them getting much help from
Clinton and Congress are not
good. The president's expression
of apology - he said he was
"profoundly sony" for what he
''said and did to trigger these
events and the great burden they
have imposed on Congress and
the American people'' - was
the most fitting to date and his
plea for reconciliation seemed
heartfelt.
But like the trial itself. this
presidency is over, especially
when defined by its once considerable potential. Bill Clinton
will carry the punishment of
missed opportunity as long as he
lives, and so will those who
trusted him to be their president.

THE CUTTING EDGE
Prestonsburg.
The program is funded through a
Perkins grant and may be terminated
to allow funding for a technical studIes program Several individuals
spoke to the state officials begging
mercy in hopes of saving their support network.
PCC faculty member Eilene
Lewandowski said, "The program at
PCC is such a success. individuals
who may have never considered
going to college are graduating.
When a partictpant comes to PCC
for orientation. someone me~ts with
them one-on-one to determine the
right program and classes they need
to be in."
Program
member
Annette
Jackson went back to school to get
her OED after dropping out to get
married. Today she is a college student on her way to a successful and
bright future.
"The program gives you selfesteem to go higher and beyond
where you ever imagined you could
go." Jackson said. "There is always a
friend there waiting with a smile and
open arms.''
To many, the program is a home
away from home. A chance to share
their struggles and success with ,.
someone who understands and has tr
been in their situation.
The Smgle Parent and Homemaker program reaches out to I 0
counties. Several panicipants said
Rosenberg is an inspiration.
The Perkins Grclllt Appropriations
Committee will meet at a later date
to determine the outcome of the program.
The purpose of the hearing was to
discuss the state's technical education plan. wtuch is funded by federal
money. The gathering was sponsored

"Yeah, we knew it would be a rough season, ''
- Thersa Kelly, Athletic Director
Sports Commentary...
Courageous Knights to ponder next season
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
It was two springs ago when the
Piarist School, located in Martin,
~ decided to file an application for
membership in the Kentucky High
School
Athletic
Association
(KHSAA). The decision was a
brave one and one to be seriously
considered.
The Piarist Knights would be a
young program with young players.
untested in the high school ranks.
But the decision was made, the
application filed and KHSAA
membership granted.
The Knights played last season
as just a member of the Three
Rivers Conference where they
faced Red Bird, Buckhorn, June
Buchanan and Riverside Christian.
The Knights were pretty impressive in their first season as they
waited out the mandatory year
before becoming a member of the
KHSAA.
The school would be very small
in numbers, small in stature but big
at heart and determination. That
alone can make up for other disadvantages.
The Knights, according to
school athletic director Theresa
Kelly, knew what faced them in the
competitive 58th District.
"Yeah, we knew it would be a
rough season," said Kelly, whose
boys' team went 0-25 this season.
"We knew going in that it would
not be easy. We had hoped for at
least one win this season:·
While the elusive
win never did
come, both the
boys and girl$
teams
showed
vast
improve-
ment over the season. They both
came close to picking up the one
victory they wanted to have.
While the school is high on athletics, it is even higher on academics and the first district tournament appearance was a victim to
the academic standards of the
school. Several players were ruled
academically ineligible for the first
round game with Betsy Layne.
Facing the Bobcats, a much,
much taller team, the Knights
arrived at Raider Arena with just
six players. Coach Cainer Hall and
his team went through the rituals
just as though they had 15. They
showed courage and deter-
mination while losing to Betsy
Layne by 51 points. They never
quit, and that is a high quality in a
team that was undermanned. undersized and outgunned.
"We are very proud
of them," said
Kelly,
"that
they took this
on themselves
and competed. They have
shown a lot
of improvement

~Allen
Central advance to title
game with win over Raiders
by Andrea Saddler
Contribuung Wntcr
The first girls' gmnc of the 58th
District Tournament was a showdown bet\\ecn the South Floyd
Lady Raider~ and the Allen Central
• Lady Rebels.
'The game got off to a shaky start
as Allen Central's Shanna Howell
started the game off with a foul m
the first few seconds of the game.
The game was neck-and-neck at 9
until Susan Scarberry carne off the
·bench to grab a rebound and sink
two points, taking the Rebels to an
11 to 9 lead over the Ra1ders.
Allen Central's tough man-toman defense forced Raiders' coach
Ronnie Patton to hold the ball to
slow down the game. Coach
Anthony Moore's Rebels' sprung to
a 23-to-11 lead over the Raiders in
• the second quarter with Jennifer
Hopkins' and Barbara Prater's
three-point baskets.
Natalie Cooley led the rebels in
scoring with 14 points and several
ass1sts and rebounds. Her thrcepmnt shot in the third quarter took
the Rebels to a 31-to- I 7 lead .
Shanna Howell came off the bench
to plunk down t\\ o pomts at the
buzzer to further the rebels' lead 33
to 21 at halftime.
When the teams returned to thc
court, South Floyd came out with a
man-to-man press. Despite the
tough defense, the Rebels managed
to forge ahead as Jessica Martin
pulled down a rebound to assist
Beth Combs with a three-point shot,
takmg the Rebels to a 25-to-11 lead.
Beth Combs. a freshman guard,
had an outstanding game with seven
points and several assists and
rebounds before she was benched
with a technical foul.
The third quarter left the Rebels
with a 12-point lead at 33-21 It was
the fourth quarter that Coach
Moore's Lady Rebels ran away with
the game. Natahe Cooley sank two
three-point baskets. Allen Central
was on the move
"All our starters had a good
game, whrlc several players came
off the hench to contnbutc to our
v.inning night Our aggressive
defense \\as the key to hrcaking
down the Raider'\ and wtnning the
game.'' Co<1ch Anthony Moore commented regarding his team's win.
Although Allen Central came out
ahead 1n the end, Coach Ronnie
P~1tton 's Lady Ra1ders played an
outstandrng game against the tough
footwork and dcfcnse of the Lady
Rebels. Shawna Hull led the Lady
Ra1ders wuh 14 points. Hall's inyour-f<lce blocks kept the Ra1ders
neck-m-neck with the Lady Rebels
throughout the game.
Misty Berger was a key player
lor the Lady Raiders with eight
points. Misty got into foul trouble
and ended the game \\ ith four fouls.
Margaret Morgan finished with five
pomts. Oliv1a Stewart sunk in four
points. Sonya Tackett had three
points whrle Martha Crawford fidished with one point.
All the girls in the game showed
teamwork and sk11l.

A Look At Sports
Finally! Finally Coach Johnny
Ray Turner got what he has been
searching for the last four years a win over the Paintsville Tigers.
That win wa::o a big one and it
~ happened this past Tuesday night
on the Tigers home Ooor when the
Eagles soared to a 67-6 I win over
the four-time defendmg champions.
I always liked the Pamtsville
Tigers and their fine coach, Bill
Mike Runyon, Uf!d they were my
choice to win the regional crown a
fifth consecutive time.
But I could not be happier for
anyone than I am for Coach
Turner. He is a good old Floyd
• County boy. and I have pulled for
him ever since he was at
McDowell years ago. He also has
a former Wheelwright Trojan on
the bench in Danny Johnson.
The Eagles are playing their
best basketball after getting off to
a fast start at the start of the season
and then trailing off a little midway of the season. But now the
Eagles arc on their way to the
regional tournament.
Now, is there a clear-cut
favorite to win it all now that the
•) Tigers are eliminated from repeat-
ing? The answer is that whatever
eight teams fill the card come
regional time will have a legitl ·
mate shbt at winning it all and
advancmg on.
Now, there may be some fan
favorites, like the Eagles Johnson
Central has a fine basketball team
led by Tommy McKenzie and
company. But you have to like the
Pikeville Panthers (yet to make
the cut). Allen Central is a strong
contender, as are Prestonsburg.
Magoffin County and Phelps.
It is gomg to be an interesting
week next week when the boys'
regional tips off on the Eagles
home court, Johnson Central. I
like this Johnson Central team and
they have all the ingredients to
make it to the big show.
Inside the region, Allen Central
has lost only to Johnson Central.
Phelps and Prestonsburg, with the
Tigers gone. But the Rebl'ls
avenged the losses to Prestonsburg
and Phelps. Prestonsburg fell to
Elkhorn City. Allen Central and
Pikeville in regional games. The
Blackcats defeated Allen Central
m a home game.
Of course, at presstime, both
Allen Central and Pres.tonsburg
must get out of the 58th Distnct.
*****
There were some scares when
the first round of the four districts
were over with. P1ke County
Central squeaked out a one-point
win over Pikeville Tuesday night.
Pike County Central Hawks
nipped Shelby Valley by one
point.
No surprises in the 58th or 60th
district yet. Of course. repealing,
the biggest shor.:ker was the
Eagles' wm over the Tigers.
by Andrea Saddler
Contributing Writer
The 58th District Tournament
• got underway Tuesday night as Tim
Rice and the Betsy Layne Bobcats
played their way to victory against
Darnella Bradley and Cainer Hall's
Piarist Knights. The Bobcats posted
a 91-40 win over the Knights, who
finished the season with an 0-25
mark. This is their second year as a
KHSAA member school and the1r
first year of competition in the 58th
Distnct.
Scott Collins, a junior at Betsy
Layne, led the Bobcats to their 91·
to-40 victory over the Piarist
School. Colhns shot the Bobcats to
a 31-to-1 0 lead with his I0 points in
• the first quarter. Collins, a strong
player wnh good defenstve and
offens1ve skills, was the Bobcats
leading scorer with 16 points. The
early lead made it obvious Coach
Tim Rice would have the opportunity to show his good sportsmanship by substituting all new players
in the second quarter.
Michael Gross, a senior at Betsy
Layne, led the Bobcats as the second leading scorer for the game
with 15 points. Gross danled the
fans with five three-point baskets.
"It's hard to get caught in a game
like thts. It doesn't do much for getting you ready for the next game,"
Gross said after his outstanding perfonnance.
•
Tommy Taulbee, a senior,
proved to be a valuable player to
the Bobcats with numerous
rebounds and assists. along with a
nothing but net, three-point shots in
the third quarter Justin Bartley, a
JUnior, also turned on the Bobcat
skill, finishing the game with 14
points. Robert Rose jammed in nine
points, while Adam Tackett had six
points and Adam Collins scored 10.
Bobcat Coach Tim Rice commented on h1s team's outstanding
perfonnance saying, "It is a real
advantage to come over tonight and
get to play on the goals and get the
feel of the gym. We played all 15
guys tonight and tomorrow we face
tougher competition against Allen
Central. Tonight's game allowed us
to get the feel of the tournament and
the winning atmosphere,"
Although falling to the Bobcats,
The Piarist Knights showed out·
standing effort and skill against the
tough competition of the Betsy
Layne Bobcats.
Brett Hall, a sophomore, led the
Knights with 12 points. George
Hall, started the game with a threepoint shot in the first quarter to go
on as the Knights' second leading
scorer. He finished with 10 points.
John Keaton jammed in seven
points. Robert Hail netted five
points for lhc Knights, while Matt
Goeing and Brian Yates tossed 10
I0 points each.
opening district game at Belfry.
She seems to be playing with a lot
of confidence and has drawn the
attention of some college coaches
as well. I sure w1sh she was playmg over here.
The first round of the 58th has
had no surprises.

A stabbing at Allen Central High
School Monday morning has been
determined to be accidental by
school and law enforcement officials.
The incident occurred shortly
after 11 a.m. in the hallway during
a class change, according to ACHS
Principal Patricia Maynard. It
involved two ninth grade students,
one of whom punctured the other
with a knife.
The injured student was taken
by ambulance to Our Lady of the
Way Hospital in Martin, where he
was treated for a superficial shoulder wound and released, Maynard
said.
The principal said the student
with the knife bas been suspended,
and she has requested an expulsion
hearing from the Floyd County
Board of Education. She said the
process is outlined in the school
system's Code of Conduct.
Superintendent
Interim
Woodrow Carter said the board will
have to schedule a special meeting
since the hearing has to take place
within 10 school days of when the
student is suspended.
The injured student was back in
school yesterday, according to
Maynard. "I think everyone realizes it was accidental," she said,

Flood projects
threatened
Congres:.man Hal Rogers
said Monday that the recently
released federal budget for the
year 2000 contains no funding
for ongoing flood control projects in eastern Kentucky.
Rogers said in a release that
"the hard work we've begun
with the US Army Corps of
Engineers to control flooding
... has been zeroed out by the
White House." The proposed
flood control project for the
City of Martin is presumed to
be a casualty. Rogers also said
the proposed budget will hurt
tobacco fanners and highway
projects. Regarding flood control, he added, "1 insist that
our budget priorities must
include funding to finish the
work we've started." Expect
changes.
The Floyd County Health
Department is facing a potential
loss of some vital health care programs. but local residents may be
able to help it retain those services
through a survey being distributed
by health department staff.
Health care in Region 8, which
includes Floyd County, for
Medicaid patients will become a
managed care system in July and
health department officials are concerned about its impact and the
potential loss of services.
Health departments in the
Louisville and Lexington regions
are feeling the impact of the state's
new managed care system, which
was implemented in those regions
in 1997.
Through
managed
care,
Medicaid reimbursements for preventative care measures - one of
the main functions of health departments - can now go to primary
care doctors.
That could be a problem in eastem Kentucky. according to Floyd
County Health Department director
Carol
Holbrook.
"There may be areas of the state
where there are surpluses of physi-
cians where they can take on the
extra caseload. Here, where we
don't have a surplus, I'm afraid the
physicians will be overloaded.
They are not going to be able to
absorb all these children and
women into their caseloads ... Mo,llt
doctors are not taking new patients.
They just can't take on any more ...
If we're there as a safety net, dollars are going to be saved." she
said.
Thursa Slone, an RN and nursing supervisor at the health department. said sometimes parents just
want to be reassured that their child
will be okay.
"A mother brought in a child
with an ear infection. It had been
on antibiotics for three days. It
takes awhile for the antibiotics.
Sometimes you just need somebody to say 'Let's wait a while.'
Without the service at the health
department, she probably would
have taken the child to an emergency room," Slone said.
On a recent Wednesday morning, in less than two hours, the
health department staff and physician saw 20 women in their family
planning clinic. During the clinic,
nurses do complete histories on
their patients and, more often than
not, they uncover other health
problems. including depression.
Slone discussed a situation
involving a patient who came to the
family clinic for a pap test. The
nurse asked the patient the questions on the history work-up,
including "Have you thought about
suicide?" When the patient said yes
and the nurse realized that help was
needed, she walked the patient
~h'"" n lhe street to Mountain
Comprehensive Care where counselors were waiting.
The information provided at the
clinic is also an important aspect of
planned parenthood. according to
Slone. For instance, they inform
women that some over-the-counter
medications, such as Mylanta, can
make certain birth control measures ineffective.
"The public has the concept that
the health department is the place
to record the birth of their baby and
the place they took their baby for a
shot. We're relegated to second
class service. We're not. We have
everything that can be found in a
doctor's office," Holbrook said.
"Managed care is forcing us in a
competitive role with the doctor.
The doctors do what they do well.
We're here to simply enforce what

Former Deputy Superintendent
Gary Frazier signed an agreement
Monday with the Floyd County
Board of Education that settled a
lawsuit in which both parties came
out winners.
But the biggest winners are the
J 6 Floyd County schools that will
have around $1,700 extra to spend
on academic programs.
At the end of the school year in
1995, Frazier retired from the system with the stipulation that he be
retained as a consultant for two
years. The first year Frazier worked
on projects that he had started while
he was deputy superintendent and
was paid for his services.
ln 1996, John Ballantine took
control of the system and contended
that the board did not owe Frazier
either money or a position.
Frazier's COI)tract was for two years
at the rate of $27,500 per year.
Frazier sued the board asking
that it honor the contract. The matter remained in litigation until the
present board agreed that Frazier
bad a binding contract and began
negotiations to settle the suit.
The board agreed to make a public statement to the media and especially the Times about the legality
of Frazier's contract.
Frazier, who is involved in several business ventures including
Country at Heart. told the board he
would settle the matter and give the
money back to the board if the
board would state publicly that he
was entitled to the money and he
could decide how the money was

"'
"ror some time now. the Cabinet
for Families and Children has been
moving toward a new model of pro\ idtng human services to people in
need." 'aid Cabinet Secretary Viola
Miller. "We know that a one-sizefits-all. Frankfort-directed bureaucracy is not realbtic today.
'The new model includes community-based partner.,hips among
different public and private agencies. an integrated service-delivery
system. and what we hope will be a
more user-friendly agency that
responds better to individual

The appointments have their

Department for Social Insurance
and the Department for Social

No layoffs are planned as a
result of the restructuring. Each of

The restructuring grew out of a
combination of factors, including
welfare reform. employee demands
for greater autonomy and a rcalitation in lhc social-sen•1ces tield that
agencies both within government
and outside it need to do a better job
of \.\Orking together. Gov. Patton's

Howard. who previously worked

.._ the lowered
Talk is starting up again about lowering the testing
standards for students from schools in pockets of high
poverty. schools where studcms have not been progressing as rapidly as had been hoped when the standards
were set. That surely would include Floyd County and
much of eastern Kentucky where recent standardized
testing scores did not look all that good. despite qualified reports of "average.''
The standards are designed so that by 15 years from
now students across the state will be essentially comparable in their levels of achievement Theoretically. if
that happens. then you can be somewhat certain that no
matter where your child or grandchild attends school. he
or she will be receiving a decent education. whether it's
an upscale Lexington magnet school or a leaky-roofed
school in the heart of Appalachia. lt is trul) a noble goal
that all of us in the mountains should be rooting for.
We know the standard reasons why academic
achievement l~gs in inner city and mountain schools:
Parents are inadequately educated and ill-equipped to
participate in their children ·s learning. The culture does
not promote education. Some facilities are in poor condition. There is not enough technology. A legac) of political interference manages to keep a toehold.
Those arc the same reasons we cited long ago, and
apparently we've done little to eliminate them.
Lowering the bar for poor kids to cross does them no
favors. Expecting less of them cripples them for life,
making them less likely to ever be anything but poor and
poorly-educated. We can say that Little Briarhopper has
a hard time with spetling, so for him 80 percent is an A,
but Prepschool Paul must make a 95 percent for an A.
What have we done? Sure, Little Briarhopper might feel
a moment of headincss, but he has to know that in reality he is inferior.

-Letters tt'e EditorWOULD LIKE ANSWERS ABOUT THE
TOWN BRANCH BRIDGE
Editor:
I have hcen reading and hearing that the Kentucky Heritage Council or the Historical Society
does not want the Old Town Branch Bridge tom
down in order for a new bridge to be built. L have
never heard a name of any person associated with
the society not wanting the old bridge tom down in
order for a new one to be built.
Everyone always states that it ts the historical society not \\anting the bridge tom down. I \\Ould like
to know the name of any individual that believes an
old crumbling bridge should be left standing and
knock the people of Town Branch out of getting a
new bridge to drive across.
I would ho(>\! this mdividual would consider hov..·
he would feel if he had to dnvc an extra five or six
miles in order to get to Prestonsburg. I doubt if an
old crumbling bridge would seem very important.
If the hridge is on a historical list then I would
like to know who placed the bridge on such a list. I
can't sec anyone having the authority to place the
bndge on a historical list without the desire of the
community. Is Jt possible that someone is using the
historical soctety's name to try and stop the bridge
for personal reasons?
Tearing down the old bridge and replacing it in
the same location ts the only reasonable solution. It
would he less expensive and avoid any long delays
in the bridge being built.
My position is the bridge has no historical value
since two thirds or both ends were tom down andreplaced in 1963. The bridge is slowly crumbling and
large chunks are falling in the river and onto the railroad track below.
No organization wants to take responsibility for
upkeep or be liable for the falling bridge. According
to state inspectors. there ts no way to repair or stabilize the bridge. If the bridge is slowly falling, it will
have to be tom down eventually. Both money and
time can be saved if the old bridge is tom down and
replaced in the same location.
If any individual from the Kentucky Heritage
Council or any other organization feels that an old
crumbling and falling bridge should be left standing,
I would like to know his reasoning.
If any indivtdual or individuals would want to
stop the old bridge from being tom down in order for
a new one to be built, then I invite them to respond
with a letter to the editor in the Floyd County Tunes.
If no individual responds in the Times, then I
would think it safe to assume that tearing the old
bridge down and replacing it with the money already
appropriated is the best route to take.

Editor.
I. along with many Right Beaver residents. have
lived along this cr~ck for over 40 years. Within these
years strip mining, logging and land erosion have
adverse!) affected the creek bed~ and channels with
large amounts of silt.
Trees, brush and. sadly to say. floating garbage
have contributed to the loading up of our creek channels. Beavers, animal~ not everyone has had an opportunity to st·e and observe. are beautiful creatures
that were rcin1roduccd to his area and are causing
destructive damage to the flow of our creek.
Our county and state government have very badly
neglected to curtail (largely in part to not enough
manpower in recent years) the dumping of oil cans,
bottles, and other garbage. either thrown or washed
into the creek. Hoyd and Knott counties have mandated garbage pick-up and supposedly strict enforcement of this law.
So. why do we still have all this floating material, garbage and roadside dumps?
A large portton of this debris doesn't come floating do\\ n the creel-; until we have a sizable amount
or ram to raise the "ater level and ro float this material. It then lodge' in trees and stays there when the
wata le\cl falb.
Our creek hanks are a jungle of trees that need to
be cleared and disposed of. thus letting the flow of
water out faster. Changing the channel in some
areas, straightening of the channel and dredging will
also help very much to ease the flow of water.
In the past few years I've noticed and paid partie-
ular attention to the national weather in other parts
of the country as to how much rainfall they receive
and sometimes in a very short amount of time. Three
or four inches of rain in 24 to 36 hours, we've seen
before.
Bur what if we were to get six. seven, or even 10
inches of rain in a short amount of time. as do other
areas? What would happen then? Wayland, Garrett.
Eastern, Maytown. Martin, Allen and anyone in the
I 00-year flood plain will be devastated.
The biggest flood we've ever seen is on the horizon, with damage we can't even imagine. Think
back to a couple of years ago what happened to Falmouth, Kentucky, which is no larger than Martin.
Don't ever let us think it won't happen to us.
Recently, 1 looked into premium rates for flood
insurance. It is available to everyone, but at such a
high cost (about equal to homeowners' insurance),
most people can't afford it. especially those on retirement and fixed incomes. It's very possible that
some da) some of us could lose our homes. property and businesses that we have worked for all our
hves.
We are at a time in our lives with the changing
weather patterns and unpredictable season changes
that a catastrophic tlood like we've never seen before is going to happen. We need to do something
about our creek channels now and prepare for it.
Committees are now being formed to help bring
this matter to everyone's attention. Meetings will be
taking place w1th discussions from all areas to help

Words- the medium that newspaper
people and English teachers use to make
their Jiving. (Oh. we get to use a photograph now and then. but it's basically
words). Sometimes I like to look at interesting words and word combinations. So.
guess what you will be reading about
today.
We categori:te words into synonyms,
antonyms and others that I w11l get into,
but there are two words that sound the
same and mean the exact opposite: raise
and raze. The builders will raise the building (You could write a sentence such as
that), and when the building has outlived
its usefulness, the same people may raze it
(tear it down).
Don't you lind that interesting? I don't
know if there are
any other two
words in the Jan~
guage that behave the same
way, and I don't
know if they
have a special name.
Those collective nouns are interesting.
You know, one bee but a swarm of bees or
one chicken but a flock of ch1ckens. Those
are common and everyone uses them. but
what about a blaze of pyromaniacs, a
clutch of kleptomaniacs or a cloud of
gnats?
Did you know that bookkeeping 1s the
only word with three double letters is succession (oo... kk ...ee)? Oh. there are others
with three or more double lelters, but they
don't come in succession.
Heteronyms are words that arc spelled
identically but have different meanings
and pronunciation. For example. the wind
will blow, but you have to wind your
clock. The interesting thing about these
words is that the mind tends to pick the
right pronunciation (based on context)
when we encounter the words in our reading.
What are some other example~. you
ask? A typical one would be "He ''til
desert his famil) and then go live in the
desert" Or. "He will refuse the money
and will put tt with the other refuse to get
rid of it." There are very many examples
of such words.
Acronyms are words that are formed by
the first words of a company, organizaiJon.
or a group of words. Every day when you
watch the news, you see how the NASDAQ is domg. Without looking, what do
the letters stand for? National Association
of Securities Dealers Automated Quote
System. Come on, you didn't know that,
did you?
OK. what does NAPA stand for? It
makes sense- National Automotive Parts
Association. There are literally thousands
of these and people arc making up new
ones as you read
One of my favorite word plays is
mnemonic. a de\lce such as a formula or
rhyme to ass1st the memory. I'm sure
many of you learned hO\\.' to spell geography by going "George Ehot's oldest girl
rode a pony home yesterday."
Did you usc HOMES (Huron. Ontario,
Michigan. Erie and Supenor) to Jearn the
great lakes? What about ROY G. BIV to
get the colors of the spectrum?

PASTOR ASKS,
'WHOSE SIDE
ARE YOU ON?'
Editor:
Blue (Goble) has agonized over
the good pastor's letter and now I
find myself agonizing over two letters. 1 am just a bit slower with my
conclusions. I wish to speak to each
one separately.
In answer to Pastor Bill's letter
of January 13, yes. we can always
use more churches in Floyd County
if those churches are here to reach
the lost for Jesus Christ. I would
venture to say that the majority of
our population is knowledgeable of
thetr need of salvation, but they
have turned a deaf ear to Christ's
call.
If Pastor Bill is here to enable
more to come to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, then we welcome him. But if Pastor Bill has
another motive in mind, such as
"monument building" or "sheep
stealing"' just to name a couple, it
would be a waste of God's time.
Churches such as that are of the

should be. What our educational
,.. leaders should be discussing is,
given the disadvantages our students face, how can we make
sure they meet the standards.
They should - and must - be
looking at ways to reduce class
size, at ways to weed out the
teachers who don't care and
can't do, at ways to bolster
teachers who maintain high
standards and who succeed in
helping students succeed.
They must look at meaningful professional development
• that helps teachers to know their
subject areas and how to teach
what they know more effectively. They must continue to badger parents to participate in family learning. They must get central office staff behind the effort.
They must get volunteers
involved.
Just look around and you'll
see examples of people who met
and exceeded the standards even
though they were raised in
poverty by undereducated parents and even though sometimes
'- they were not encouraged in
school. Most of our children can
meet the standards, but they
need a concentrated push. Do
we want them to, or are we content to muddle along in crippling mediocrity?
You know, nobody expects
much of us mountaineers, and,
by and large, we live up to their
expectations. - Pam Shingler

"odd lots" variety and they have
their place in the sun for such a
short while and wither. Enough has
been said there.
Now may I turn to Mr. Goble's
response (January 27). I must apologize for not having read the bibliography listed in his letter, but
please allow me to speak from my
ignorance. I have come to Floyd
County on behest of a call given by
someone far greater than a coal
baron or his minions. When God
called me to Mud Cr£ck, He gave
me one simple instruction, Love the
people.
This was a bi-partisan call. No
politics involved. There was no hidden agenda. No gravel promised.
No pavement laid. But I have only
lived here three years and that may
yet come. But when it does. we will
order our gravel, pay for it and keep
a clear conscience while doing it.
I do not know many of my colleagues who arc tyrannized by our
new commissioners, nor do they
reside in the pocket of the few coal
mine owners left in our county.
Whether or not they are sugar coating the Gospel is between them and
the Christ who called them. It isn't
the Gospel if it has a coating.
No, Blue, our enemy is far more
subtle than thai. All that smoke
hides the real issue. I suppose the
church can spend its time (two to
three hours a week) drawing atten tion to our social evils, shaking its
head at the moral decay in our society, but how will that fulfill Christ's
Great Command and Great
Commmission?
There are hurting people right
here on Mud Creek who need what
only Jesus can give. The church
(folks hke you and me) is here for
them as the Body of Christ (for better or for worse). Come help us, be
in fellowship with us. There is not
much time left.
Maybe the most appropriate
question to ask both Pastor Bill
Stukenberg and Mr. Lloyd Blue
Goble is, "Whose side are you on?"

PROMISE KEEPERS
Editor:
I was born, and reared, near
Pikeville, Kentucky in the 1920s,
1930s and 1940s.
Now, I am a diabetic shut-in in
Ocala, Florida, and have no typewriter.
I'll do my best to write for the
Floyd County Times.
On July 31, 1993, more than
50,000 men met and came up with
the seven promises of the promise
keeper.
These promises are getting back
to basics with God. They are good
for America, our families, our
churches, and the individual. (Do
you know Jesus?)
In a nutshell, The Promise
Keepers advocate standing up for
God, the country, the family, the
church, the community, and our
schools.
Our country is suffering from a
severe shortage of integrity, lack of
devotion to Christ, and moral chaos.
The Promise Keepers of
America have taken a stand. They
need our prayers for success.

Planning Your Retirement:
May Not Be Easy
We Just Made It Easier
At Morgan Stanley Dean Witter words like "essential"
and "necessary" are often associated with retirement planning. But we know that "timeconsuming," "exhausting,"
"complex" and "confusing" are as well. That's why we're
hosting In Pursuit of Retirement (a free, educational
retirement planning seminar). This seminar is designed to

One of the key words in schools
and society today is multtculturaiism, or diversity. Last week.
kindergarten teachers and aides at
May Valley Elementary gave their
• students an opportunity to learn
about other countries and cultures.
Ken Carriere, who is from
Canada. told the students in Jamie
Slone and Kim Grubb's classes
about his nati' c country. He told
them about the nicknames for
monetary bills in Canada. "A bill
worth one dollar is called a looney
and one worth two dollars is called
a tooney," he said, to their delight.
He taught the youngsters three
French words: "oui" (pronounced
wee) for yes; merci for thank you;
• f"d non for no.
He mentioned that singer
Celine D10n, hockey player Wayne
Gretzy and other well-known people hail from Canada. He said
hockey is the national sport there
and showed the group a pair of ice
skates used in hockey.
He used an atlas to show the
students where Canada is in rela-
tion to Martin and told them it origam1, the art of folding paper
would take 12 hours of uninter- into decorative obJects. The steadiest tried their hand at using chop

My dad and I generally divide up
our congregational duties, and in
the past he's been the one who
attended the monthly meetings.
He's more gregarious than I am.
He enjoys sitting around with a
dozen other clergy, drinking coffee
and discussing our community's
challenges.
I'm a hermit. During my previous 16 years as a part-time or full
time pastor in the county I'd been
to, altogether, maybe a half-dozen
association meetings.
In October, though, my dad was
recuperating from surgery. Since
the preachers were coming to our
church, the job of playing host fell
to me.
It turned out that October also is
the month the group elects its officers.
Before 1 knew what happened
that morning. the other preachers
drafted me as the association's president for the 1998-1999 year.
Which is kind of like putting a
saddle on a hog, as the old folks say.
I'm not sure whether the other
ministers viewed my election as an
honor. as punishment for my previous absenteeism or as a way of
ensuring that I would attend this
year's meetings.
Maybe it was just that nobody
else wanted the job.
To make matters worse. this new
position came just as I was struggling to write my next book. on a
tight deadline.

JAMES PENIX
Who passed away June, 1997
Dear Dad,
Today is your birthday, Febuary 2, 1999. We
miss you so much. We always had a good time on
your day. You enjoyed it so much- Mom always
had your fa vorite dinner, plus cake and ice
cream. You always got so many phone calls from
all the family, everywhere. They always remembered you, because it was Groundhog Day.
We sure do miss having you around to fix
everything when it was wrong, and here is how
we all feel: God took the strength of a mountain;
the majesty of a tree; the warmth of the summer
sun; the calm of the quiet sea; the generous soul
of nature; the comforting arm of night; the wisdom of the ages; and the power of an eagle's
flight. He combined all these qualities. There
was nothing else to add. This masterpiece was
now complete, He lovingly called it, Dad.
We all miss you forever,
~
Lonnie, Priscilla, and all the family

The basics of diabetes mellitus
ln l11e United States it IS estimated that 15 rnilhon people have dia·
betcs. (Eastern Kentucky ranks
among the highest rate of diabete:-.at 9 percent of the populatiOn).
Proper care of diabetes is essential
because no known cure exists.
Complications, such as blindness,
heart or kidney failure and obesity
can be reduced with good dietary
management. A health care team of a
doctor. dtabetcs educator. and reg1s·
tcred d1etillan should be consulted in
developing a diabetes management
plan.
What is diabetes? The problem of
diabetes is in the way the body uses
glucose and insulin. Almost all foods
are digested to fonn the simple
sugar, glucose. With the aid of
insulin, glucose passes from the
blood-stream into the cells. Glucose
provide::; energy to all cells in the
body. Insulin is secreted from a
small gland behind the stomach
called the pancreas. The pancreas
sends msulin into the bloodstream so
glucose will be allowed to enter the
cells. When cells are able to take up
the glucose, the amount of glucose in
the bloodstream (blood glucose
level) doesn't get too high or too
low, but remains at nonnallevels.
A d1abetic doesn't make enough
insulin or can't use the insulin they
do make. Without the insulin, glu-

• Fat-The health-care team can
determine the amount of fat needed
in a meal plan. The amount will
depend on weight, blood glucose
and blood lipid goals, and the overall
health of the individual.
• Cholesterol-less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day is recouunended.
• Fiber-daily fiber should range
between 20-35 grams of fiber (the
same as for the general population)
• Sodium-many health authorities recommend limiting sodium
intake to between 2,400 to 3,000
milligrams per day. Those with mild
to moderate high blood pressure
should consume less than 2,400 milligrams of sodium per day.
• Sugar-scientific evidence has
shown that the use of table sugar
(sucrose) as part of a meal plan does
not hurt blood glucose control in
people with Type I or Type ll dtabetes. Other sugars, such as corn
syrup, or sugar-containing desserts
or foods needed to be substituted for
other foods and not merely added to
a meal plan.
During the month of February the
Extension Homemaker Clubs located throughout the county will learn
about Diabetes Mellitus during their
club meetings. Anyone interested 10

The Wildcats shot over 68 percent in the first half, leading 4931 at the half.
Allen Cent:ral. as they have
become accustomed to, failed to

South Floyd halts
five-game skid with
win over Pirates
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
South Floyd coach Henry
Wehb still feels the Raider basketball program is moving in the
right direction and hopes the 8743 win over Fleming-Neon last
week is the start of better things
for his team before tournament
time rolls in February 24.
The win over the visiting
Pirates snapped a five-game losing streak for the Raiders. who
last won when his team upset
Prestonsburg at home in double
overtime on January 5.
''It was a needed win for us,"
said Webb. "We have been on the
road and have struggled a little."
The Raiders had to play wtth·
out senior Justin Paige, who
broke his right hand in practice a
few days before playing the
Pirates.
"Jt is possible that he may
return by district tournament
time," said Webb, "but only time
will tell."
Webb said South Floyd needed other playt•rs to step up their
game and fill the void left by the
loss of Paige.
"As we go down the stretch,
we will need someone to move
up," he said. "I am pleased with·
out overall effort, although we
have lost several close games."
Ryan Shannon opened up his
offense against the Pirates and
scored a game-high 21 points to
lead the Raiders' scoring, but
that someone who may lend a
helping hand is Ryan Manns,
who came off the bench and
scored 12 points. Jimmy Stumbo
added II points while eighthgrader Michael Hall scored nine.
The Raiders hit six threepoint baskets in winning their
seventh game of the season. The
Raiders improved to 7-8 on the
year and are 3-2 in conference
play.
"I thought we played fairly
well against Neon." said the
South Floyd coach. "We out·
rebounded them 40-29 and
forced them into 29 turnovers."
South Floyd had only 13
turnovers and held FlemingNeon to 33 percent shooting.
The game was close through
the first two quarters with South
Floyd holding a 12- l 0 lead and
Stumbo scoring five poims.
Shannon had four in the opening
quarter.
The Raiders took a 28-20
halftime lead as Shannon hit a
three-point basket in scoring
seven points in the second.

Co~nbs nained NCAA Division I-AA
Non-Scholarship All-Ainerican
by J ohn Derossett
Contributing Writer
When Brandon "Bubba" Combs (6-3. 283, OG)
was named recently to the 1998 Football Gazelle
NCAA Division l-AA Non-Scholarship All·
American team, it was no surprise to many. Combs
was tabbed for such honors when he entered his
freshman year at Betsy Layne High School.
Combs was named to the All-American team's
first team and also was voted Lineman of the Year.
Combs headed the offensive line for one of the topranked offensive teams in America, the Morehead
State Eagles, which averaged just over 476 yards
per game.
No doubt this was all a dream for Combs but the
dream may not be over. He will attend several minicamps for NFL and Canadian teams in hopes of
hooking on to start a professional career in football.
" I am getting a degree in education and hope to
teach and coach someday," he said. "But my goal
right now is to attend some NFL camps and see if I
can play at the next level."
Combs is a real success story. coming from a
small eastern Kentucky school to the limelight of
college football and a chance to take his game to
the next level. But. he said, he will miss the college
game.
"That is the thing I will miss the most," he said.
"The guys. my teammates, hanging out and doing
things together. My four years at Morehead have
been great."
Combs said he came ''into a bad situation" but
has no regrets.
" I am graduating with the winningest senior
class in Morehead State history," he said.
For a four-year player, Combs could record a
personal highlight filled with memories. but he was
quick with an answer as to what was his biggest
thrill in college.
"We drove down fie ld and beat Wofford College
in the final seconds of the gam e and Wofford
missed a field goal a tte mpt to beat Marshall - and
everyone knows how good Marshall is," he
recalled.
Combs also said another highlight of his football
career was playing and starting in the
Kentucky/Tennessee All-Star game after high
school.
Combs said there have been many people there
to innuence his Iife. but his family headed the list.
"They have always supported me in whatever I
did." said the Eagle All-American. "All the coaches

The 1999 All "A" State
Basketball Tournament had
all the excitement that any
big tournament should have.
It showed that regardless of
the records of teams coming
in, each squad
still had a
chance.
University
Heights
Academy had
the worst
record of all
the schools
competing, but Stan Stiedel
they ended up winning over
previously unbeaten Gallatin
County Sunday afternoon.
It was a banner five days
for Kentucky's small
schools in a tournament
designed with just them in
mind. The inception of
small high school basketball
began 18 years ago through
the combined efforts of Stan
Steidel and Bill Frey with
the support of many, many
others. The inaugural Class
"A" was held at Holy Cross
High School in Latonia with
a total of eight teams. By
1982 the Classic had moved
to Bellevue with 10 teams,
all from the northern
Kentucky area.
The Classic went
statewide by inviting SI X
Class A schools from across
the state to compete with the
10 northern Kentucky
schools.
It was in 1990 that the
Class A officials decided to
fulfill a long time dream by
extending invitations to 16
boys regional tournament
winners to compete in a
statewide championship
hosted in Lexington. So, in
February of 1990, the first
statewide All "A" State
Tournament was held in
February.
In 1991 the All ''A ''
Classic expanded to include
a girls championship, as
well as the boys. Today, the
A11 "A' includes a full complement of 16 boys and 16
girls teams that vie for the
Class ·'A" state basketball
championship each year in
Richmond.
The atmosphere at
Richmond is electrifying
and gets stronger each year.
I personally enjoy it more
than the Sweet 16 held at
Rupp Arena in Lexington. It
is a lot less "stuffed-shirt"
business and you fee l the
freedom to move about as
you will.

The Allen Central Rebels
''did us proud" in representing the 15th Region in the
tournament. The Rebs won
their first two games and
playmg their hearts out.
They were outsized in every
game. but they still posted
two wins.
The best game of the tournament was the double overtime win over Covington
Holy Cross. It was amazing
how they came back. Floyd
County should be proud of
the way they performed.
••1 am proud of this team,"
Woodrow Carter. state manager and interim superintendent for Floyd County
schools, said. Carter showed
his support for the school by
attending the game and
wearing a red Allen Central
shirt. It was good to see our
school officials there in support of the Rebels. rm sure
bad it been any other county
team, he would have been
there, also. I like to see those
in charge of our school system coming out to the games
in support of the teams.

games.

Due to parking, the school will

night of the championships.
"We are going to work hard to
have the best tournament we possibly can," said Collins. "I know
we will have some kinks and
probably make some people mad,
but we want to have the best tournament we can."
The last tournament hosted by

Jimmy Blankenship represented the 15th Region as an
official at the tournament.
Jimmy called about six
games in the five-day event.
He did an excellent job.
Ancie Casey, our assigning secretary in the 15th
Region, as always, was present and he does an excellent
job in assigning officials.
How about the Allen
Central pep band? They
were there at all three Allen
Central games, and it wasn't
easy for them to make that
trip. They were there on
Thursday night, returned
home, came back Friday
night, stayed overnight and
played Saturday. What a
great job they did.
An event they staged at
halftime of eaca game was a
competition the National
Guard presented. Two students (one boy, one girl)
were chosen from the stands
to come on the floor for various games. The object was
to score as many points in
60 seconds as you could
from different premarked
spots of the court. In all
three games. Allen Central
won the event and the participants received medals for
their accomplishment.

OTHER NOTES~
• It was the third tournament for Allen Central in the
last three weeks. They were
playing their 11th game in
17 days.
• The rumor that the tournament would die after this
year is all rumor. According
to those I talked witb, the
tournament is healthy in
spite of losing a large corporate sponsor.
''We picked up another
sponsor, bigger than the one
we lost," said Ancie Casey.
The tournament looked to
be well and alive to me.
• What about those funny
looking balloon soldiers in
the inflated suits at the
game? I bet it was hot inside
of those outfits. But they
were entertaining.
Until Friday. good sports
everyone and be good
sports! Three weeks until the
district tournaments begin.

It was a very tired Allen Central
team that took the McBrayer Arena
floor on Friday evening in an 8
p.m. scheduled game. The weariness of the team was evident when
the ball was thrown in the air to
start the game.
When it was tossed for the second, and again the third time, fans
wondered how the Rebels could
finish the game.
But in double overtime, Allen
Central came from a 16-point
deficit to surprise Covington Holy
Cross, 65-64.
"I don't where they found the
energy they did," said Allen
Central coach Johnny Martin. "It's
been such a rough stretch we can't
even catch our breath ."
The Rebels looked like time had
caught up with them when they
trailed Covington 42-39 with 47
seconds left. Bob Nienaber hit the
front end of a bonus foul but
m1sscd the second with Hunter
coming down with the missed shot.
Up court, with 33 seconds on the
clock, Samons banked in a threepoint basket to tic the game at 42.
Covington missed on the last shot
of the game, heading into overtime.
"Somebody was with me, helping me," said Samons in explaining
the last shot. "You know you are
tired when you are banking them
in."
In the first overtime, Samons,
from the right hand corner, drained
another three-point basket to tie the
game at 45. Allen Central took a
47-45 lead on a Jones' basket and
led 52-49 with 26 seconds left
when Hunter converted two free
throws. But, with 14 seconds to
play. it was Holy Cross' tum as
Nienaber hit a three-pointer to tie
the game and go into overtime
three point shooting. Hunter and
Hall added five points apiece.
Nathan Tackett had a three-point
basket.
Covington hll only eight of 25
three-point shots for 32 percent
shooting from the arc. Covington
out-rebounded the Rebels 45-26 on
the boards. The Indians shot 80 .
percent from the charity stripe.
number two.
The tip went to Covington, but
the Indians turned the ball over.
Samons hit one of two free throws
to give Allen Central a 53-52 lead.
Holy Cross led 56-55 before Allen
Central began to put some distance
between them. When Holy Cross
would make a run, the Rebels
found that needed energy to keep
the lead intact. The Rebels, who
struggled from the free throw line
all through the tournament, found
the charity line good to them in the
final minutes of the second extra
period. The Rebs canned six of
eight free throws down the stretch
to preserve the victory.
Allen Central only shot 38 percent for the game, but the Indians
did little better at 40 percent. Allen
Central hit only 25 of 40 free throw
attempts for 62 percent shooting.
They were SIX of 11 from threepoint land where Samons hit three
of five attempts.

Mr. Fix It
kids' dreams come true
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
What a great feeling it is to see
the eyes of youngsters light up
when they sec a "dream come
true." What a wonderful feeling
to be part of such an opportunity
to help someone bring those
dreams to reality.
That is just the purpose of the
Dream Factory and the reason
behind the upcoming benefit basketball games at the Mountain
Christian Academy gym on
Saturday, February 13, as an array
of local players will be part of
three games to entertain all in
attendance.
All the proceeds from the
games will go to help make
dreams come true for kids ages
three to 18 whose lives have been
changed by a debilitating illness,
according to Dream Factory
director Lenore Blackburn.
"We have seven kids right now
waiting to have their dreams fulfilled," said Blackburn. "We just
need the funds to be able to help
make them come true."
T hat h the reason for the basketball games, to help raise the
needed funds.
Three games will highlight the
evening and there should be a lot
of laughs to go with it when you
see the lineup the three teams will
present. Now you arc not gomg to
see any past Michael Jordans or
anything close to it. But what you
will see could very well tickle
your funny-bone.
The first game will match up
the WYMT-T V "Tormentors"
against the brace and gamed

Q95. The two winners will then
meet in a third game (if they arc
able) to decide an overall champion.
Blackburn said since the
Dream Factory opened in March
of last year the> ha":e helped
make 10 dreams come true.
"We have had a lot of help
from the public and business
organizations." she satd. "They
have helped so much:·
Blackburn said that most people think of only the termmally ill
as the ones Dream Factory help!-.,
but they also help those whose
physical abilities are limited .
"(We help) those who have
handicaps that alter their
lifestyle," Blackburn said . "It i:-.
not necessarily those who arc
critically iII.··
Blackburn said anyone can be
recommended to have their
dreams fulfilled.
''All you need 10 do is fill out
the forms." she added.
Most recently the Dream
Factory helped Aaron Hall of
Allen with a "Big Mac," a device
to aid in communicating with others.
"It i~ a talk device where you
program a disk and by pushing a
button at the waist. it relays a
meo;snge from Aaron . It helps him
to communicate with others "
The Dream Pactory has helped
others to make a dream trip to
Di,ney World, bought computer.:;
for those ~ ho dreamed of having
one. furntshcd a bcdroom suit for
a person who, "just wanted a bed
or her own:·
"We have helped with a bathroom for a handicapped (child),"
said Blackburn. "We took one on
a shopping spree at NASCAR's
Pit Road."
But others wait in the wings to
have theit dreams fulfilled,
according to Blackburn.
"We have two (children) wait-
iog for computers; one (child)
wants to meet the UK basketball
team," she said.
Blackburn said anyone can
send donations, no matter the
size. and also volunteer time is
needed at the Dream Factory. All
the money goes to make some
youngster's dream come true.
"We don't draw any salaries
here," said Blackburn. The local
chapter is the S2nd to open in the
United States . The Dream
FactOr) ·s headquarters is based in
Louis ville.
Blackburn has suggested that
churches and congregations can
take a role in helping the Dream
Factory through love offerings or
fund-raising efforts.
Anyone who is interested in
making a contribution to the program should send donations to

Just when \\e thought things
were gelling a lillie slow, a very
reliable source told us that 6'3
Soph Rashaad Carruth will with·
draw ,from Decatur (Cathedral
..;Prep), GA. either today or the
transfer to New Mexico State und
then to Compton (JC), CA. Walker
is best described as an undersized
2-guard, because he can shoot the
lights out. However, he lacks the
ball handling skills and decision
making necessary to run a team at
the high Division I level.
Our Ohio and International editor Chri.; Johnson tells us that 6' II
Kordian Korytek from Poland has
enrolled at Fresno State and could
be
eligible
immediately.
Apparently all they are waiting for
is for the NCAA Clearing House to
-'rule him eligible to play. "Koryte
is like most European players,"
says Johnson. "He's not :1 great
athlete. but he is an excellent
shooter and very skilled with the
ball. He'll give Tark a strong one·
two punch up front, along with
Melvin Ely. who is best at the
defensive end."
Johnson first heard about
Korytel last spring, along with
Matt Gladieux. who Fresno State
was also involved with at the time.
Speaking of Gladieux. this excellent 3-pointer shooter, who started
~t Toledo and then transferred to
Bellarmine a year und a half ago, is
now at Coastal Carolina.
The Univer:.ity of Dayton
signed 6'7 Chris Strodes from
Independence (JC), KS. but Chris
Johnson tells us that Strodes has
now enrolled at Sinclair (JC), OH,
and, as a result. i~ recruitable
again. Apparent!) Strodes had
enrolled at Dayton at the beginning
of the second semester with the
idea of sitting out one year and
then having three years to play.
However. some players just won't
~go to class if they aren't playing
and apparently that's what's happened here. which why Strodes has
gone back to junior college. As it
stands now, Strodes could be eligible to play next year if he goes the
Division II or NAIA route, but he
hasn't passed the necessary classes
to be eligible to play next year if he
signs with a Division I schooL
One of our least favorite players
a year ago in high school was
Ernest Brown from Bronx (St.
~Raymond's ), NY. but several college coaches who have seen him
recently at Mesa (JC), AZ. tell us
that he's a changed man. He's
much more aggressive, more confident, and more skilled than he
used to be and, as a result, might
be the best junior college freshman
in the nation. He's also grown at
least an inch and is now 7'. So
when he talks about the possibility
of gomg to the NBA. he doesn't
mean the Newark Basketball
Association.
~ If you
will recall. Tom
Konchalski of the H.S.B.I. Report
used this line seveml years ago
when asked by a reporter about
Brown's \ridiculous comments
about going to the NBA directly
out of high school. Right now
Arizona, Arizona State, Fresno
State, and Cincmnati are all showing interest, but you can bet that
his list will get longer before it gets
shorter.
Tuesday, January 19
/al Yesterday we were at the 5th
Annual Dream Classic Holiday
Challenge in Los Angeles, CA, but
we did talk briefly with Patrick Jira
of the Recruiting Beat and he tells
us that Pittsfield (Maine Central
Institute), ME, lost for a second
time last week on Friday night to
New Hampton (Prep). NH. If you
will recall, Maine Central Institute
lost to Milford (Acaddemy), CT,
two days earlier. which broke a
winning streak that had extended
almost two years. The player most
responsible for the upset was 6'5
Josh Kroenke, who hit 7-9 3-point~rs and was the leading scorer in
the game. Speaking of Kroenke,
we are :>till looking for a possible
package deal with Kroenke and
6'8 Jason Kapono from Lakewood
(Artesia), CA. both going to
Missouri. We saw hoth Kapono
and Kroenke's parents yesterday at
the Dream Classic and got the
lastest on their recruitment.
Kroenke's mother says that ht:r
son's list includes Missouri,
Villanova.
Rhode
Island,
Massachusetts, Penn State, San
Diego State, UAB, Princeton, and
Pennsylvania.
The only interesting thing that
we m1ght read into this is that
Jt.tissouri was the first school she
listed. Kapono confirmed that
UNLV. Missouri, Utah. and Rhode
!~land are his top four, hut he
added that we should expect the
unexpected. When asked ahout the
possibility of a package deal, t~ll
Kapono did was laugh. Oh' iously,
Kapono, who is a great kid and
somcbod) we know fairly \Veil, i~
still playing it all very closl.' to the
vest.
Another player we talked with
yesterday at the Dream Classic
was 6'5 Schea Cotton. who currently is attending junior college at
Long Beach City (JC). CA. He
tell.; u:-. that he hasn't even thought
about where he might end up after
jLnior college, but we are hearing
rumors that the University of
Washington may have the inside
track. Remember. Cotton·, oldl'r
brother. James Cotton. plays for
the Seattle SuperSonics and several of Cotton's fnends - Senquc
Carey and Greg Clark - are currently at the Uni\'er~ity of
Washington.
John "Pony Tails" Reinke tell ...
us that Florida International, which
got a commitment from 6'9 Jabari
Brown from Hialeah (Champagnat
Catholic), FL. could be the "steal
of the year." "He's easily a top I 00
player and is good enough to play
in the ACC or SEC right now,"
says Reinke. ''He's an exl·ellent
post man right now and in l'OIIege
he'll be like a Marcus Camb) .f.
man. He's big. he's athletic, and he
jumps to the moon. He's also \cry
mobile and can face up from 15'
feet.''
Aorida lntemational also landed a very talented combo guard in
the fall in 6'3 Nate Aaron from
Jacksonville (University Christhm)
FL and the) have 6' 5 Lucas
Barnes, who has transferred from
Miami. FL. sitting out. Another
player that Florida International
may steal is 6' I 0. 380 pound Nigel
Dixon. "He has great hands. great
footwork, and is unstoppable in the
half court, because of his site."
says Reinke. "And he's not afraid
to touch people. He also has definite NBA potential if he can lose
70 lbs. because he jumps surprisingly well for somebody so big. A
lot of other schools are intrigued,
but Florida International head
coach Shaky Rodriguez is the onl)
coach who is showing seriou"
interest."
Everybody knows that 6'9
Jason Parker from Charlotte (West
Charlotte). NC. wants to go to
North Carolina. but the Tar Heeh
aren't interested, because he currently is an academic que-,tion
mark. As a result. most assume that
it is currently a two-hon.e race
between Michigan and UNCCharlotte, but now there appear" to
be another school in the mix.
That's right! It looks like Syracuse
is now a serious contender.
Monday, January 18
Apparently Inglewood (H.S .).
CA. didn't get their wakeup call
this morning. because they only
shot 13-70 FG's and, as a result,
lost 55-41 to Redondo Beach
(Redondo Union), CA. in the 9:30
A~ game of the 5th Annual Dream
Classic Holiday Challenge at
UCLA's Paule) Pavilion. As usual,
the star for Redondo Union \\as
6'9 Jr Andrew Zahn. who had 20
points, 16 rebounds, and four
blocks. We still question whether
Zahn is athletic to play at a lot of
schools at the big-time level, hut
he's so skilled and go good in a
system that he still has to rank
among our top 20 juniors nationally. Providing the perfect complement to Zahn were 6'5 Jr Walter
White, who used his body. athleticism, and aggressiveness to score
20 points and grab 13 rebounds.
While White's height may limit
him down the road to the midmajor level. 6' 5 So ph Dijon
Thompson could emerge into one
of the best players in his class in
Southern California if he de\·clops
his perimeter game. Thompson is a
tremendous athlete and he ha'
excellent moves to the basket.
Long Beach (Jordan). CA. beat
Los Angeles (Verbum Dei), CA.
66-65. in overtime in the second
game of the day at the Dream
Classic Holiday Challenge, hut
the best player in the game was
Verbum Dei's 6'1 Marlon Parmer.
He can't go right, but he's an
amazing passer, is excl~llent at
beating his man off the dribble nnd
penetrating to the hole, and he just
got better and better as the game
went on.
He finished with 23 points
and eight assists, but abo had four
turnovers. 6' 4 Darren Peterson led
Long Beach (Jordan). CA. with 22
points, but he never saw a shot he
didn't like (1-7 3 pointers) and he's
turnover prone (four turno\ eros).
We did like 6'0 Craig Callo\\a).
hecau~e he p:1s es the ball (6
assists) and makeo; good dcc1sions.
HO\H'vcr, the best pia) er for
Jordan was 6'8 Jr Tmvon Bryant,
"ho rank as the eo1Jsenus #I
junior 111 Southern C'nll l'o111ia. He ·s
active insitlc - he hat! loi:>. rehounds
and "even hlm•ks ~hots against
Verbum lki · hut he also has a soft
touch and cx~:clh.:nt moves uround
the hoop. lie's also young for hi~
class (won't he 16 until February
5th) and his brother De'cean
Bryant is a player at L1mg Bench
State. llov. ever. Travon tells us
that UCLA. California, Arizona.
Kans:ts, and Pepperdine arc the
early fa\'ontcs.
Suni Valle) tH.S.), CA. hung
on to heat Los Angt•ks (Fairfax)
CJ\,61-54. in the third game of the
day thanks to the ctTorts of 6'9
Rafael llcrumcn, "ho scoreu 22
poinls :tnd grabhed 12 rehounds.
Howe\ cr, what impn:sscd us the
most about Berumen's game was
his ahility to pa~s the basketball
and make good decisions. Ba~etl
on hio; skills Berumen should rank
among the top 50 nationally, hut he
doesn't have the athleticism to be
ranked among the top I 00. As a
result, he's a tllUt'h player to evaluate. But one thing is for sure- what
you :.ce might he what you get,
bec:tusc he's old lor hi:-. grade. 6'4
Ja..,on Morrissette imprcs..,ed us
with his acrobatic moves to the
hole, but the on I) player \\ ho
accomplished a lot of Fairfax \\aS
a ~Iimmer and trimmer 6'6 Joe
Shipp. who had 21 pomts. He still
doe ... n't play much defense. but he
is a prolific offensive threat who
can beat you both instde nnd out-.idc. As :1 rec;ult, he descn es top
I 00 national consideration.

Our New York City Editor
Ron Naclerio was at the NIKE
Super Six at Madison Square
Garden earlier today and saw Long
Island
(Lutheran), NJ, heat Bayonne
(Maristl. NJ, 58-51, Ne\\ York
(LaSullc), NY, heal Ne\\nrk (St.
Benedict's), NJ. 61-52. and ;-.iew
York (Rice), NY beat Lincroft
(Christian Brothers) NJ. 68-53. In
the fin.t game 6 'II Robby Reid
had 17 points and 17 rebound' for
Lutheran, but the be~t pia) er 111 the
game wn 6'3 Jr Rashid Dunbar.
He had 21 points and sho\\ed Lh
the outside stroke and ball handling ablit), \\ hkh unul no\\ has
heen a quc~tion mark in terms of
bl'ing recruited at the high
Di" is ion I level.
L:.~Sallc won tle-,pitc the fact
that 6'7 ~tigucl Caballero b still
not up to par after suffering an
ankle injury rC'centl). Pick.ing up
till' slack for Cahallero were 6 · 4
Justin lla~sl'll, who had 17 point~.
and 6'2 Wil M;mn, \\ho had 18
point-.. Thi~ gallll' might have been
closer, hut 6'5 :\lark JarrellWright, "ho started out like gangbusters (his team "as up 7-1 early
and it was 14-14 at the end of the
first quarter). sprained hi!'t right
knee late in the first quarter and
\\as s1dehned the rest of the game.
In the final game Christian
Brothers made it cl(lse for a while.
but Rice, which might be the best
team we'\'c seen all year at the
high school level nationall), did
what the) alv.a)S do - wort' their
opponent into the ground.
The be:-.t player in the game
was 5'9 Jr Andre Barrett. \\ho hit
the lhrcc when the defense bad;ed
off, made gn:at tlccisions, and was
tnstrumenwl in getting Rice into
their uptcmpo game. Hm,ever. he
wasn't able to stllp 6' I Todd Billet.
who was the lc.tding scorer in the
contest with 21 points.
The Nuttonal Hoops Clas!.ic in
Columbus, OH, over the \\ eekend
was a bust 10 terms of the game~.
~o we v. ill locus mainl) on the
players. At the top of the list wa-:
6'8 Jr Abdou Diame. \\ho 1s from
the Senegal just like Universtty of
Kentucky
freshmun
6"11
Souleymane Camara. Also like
Cnmara, Diame is a tremendous
athlete with extremely 4uick hands
and feet. Huwe\'er. Omme not as
hig as Camara, hut he's mul'h fur-f
ther mh anced at the ~ame -;tage. A::-. 1
a re ull, he pw\'idcs the rl'rfcct
complement to (i'7 Ronald Slay
and 6'7 'l'tavi s Watson, neither of
whom take!<. any pri,oncrs inside.
As ,1 result. Dianw •anks 110\\
ranks among our top 20 JUniors
nationally. Although it's carl) and
bak Hill head coach Stc\e Smith
didn't ghe u~ a li~t for Dinrne.. we
know that Cincinnati. Kemucky,
Furman. Virgmin, C"lcmson, and
Maf) land arc all 'cr) mtere<>ted.

nat1on, even though lhC) d1dn't

whether he has the outside 'hot

to he one of the better players al
the NIKF. Cnmp next summer
(\\Ord is he's alrendv been invited).
However. he is a lcgitwp I 0 junior
in Ohio.
We talked ahout the recruiting
for Durham (Mt. Zion), ~C. yesterday, but we didn't tell you hll\\
explosive and athlettc 6'S Kenn)
Booker \\as in the National Hoops
Classic. He's al!'o \cry effectl\e on
the boards and he makes a living
dunking in ) our face . For our
money. he's their bc't player and
based 1'n hi' pcrformrll\ce in
Columbus, OH. he has to move
into our top 70 nationally. As a
rc~ult. he's a 'teal for Nebra,ka.
Abo making a case fm a top I 00
national ranking was 6'0 Tim
Lyles. \\ ho impres~C'd us \\ ith '>CVeral incredible passe~ and tremendous 4uickness in trarhition.
However, he 'till needs to work lm
his decisiOn making and point
guard mentality. 'I he biggest disap·
pointment \\3s 6'5 r-.larquis
Daniels, but perhaps he had an
excuse - \\Ord is he v. as playing
hurt.
We also reall) liked 6'4 Jr
Antomo Hargrove, who made a lot
of things happen \\ ith h1s athleticism, hustle, and ability to slash to
the b.tsket. He's a role pia) er on
this team. hut he'~ a legitimate top
100 junior nntimt<~lly. We also
liked ~11 Zion's ~ensational
sophomure 6'2 Jonathan Jlargett
and 6'11 Soph Marcus Camphell,
who has made dramatk improvement since we saw him Ja,t summer. Also VCI) intriguing is 7' J
hosh Tyrone Johnson, who redefines the tNms "rail thin ."
However. once he stops growing
and his hod) phy,icully o,;tarl\ to
catch up. he should tum into a nice
player. The onl) pln)er we likeu on

Coach Derossett always told u':
'there is no magic pill to success.
Anything worth having takt·s
hard work.' I haH~ always kept
that in my mind.''
Combs. during his grO\ving up
pains, took negative comments as
a challl'nge to prove others
wrong. He succe<'ded in provmg
his point. When asked \\.'hat
advice he would give to the
young players today, he related
his early years in football.
"Never let anyone tell you that
you can't do something," he said.
"When I was younger, I was fat
and slow, but I attended every
workout session and summer
camp that I could to improve my
s k.i II s.
"When someone told me I
couldn't do something. 1 worked
that much harder to prove them
wrong. 1 would adv1sc young
players to get started early in
weight lifting and in a good con
ditioning
program.
Coach
Derossett really got me ready for
college football through his
weight lifting program.''
Combs said it is not all physical strength but mental ability as
well. "Young players today need

OLW in top 15 percent
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
Our Lady of the Way Hospital
recently proved lhat it can compete
with the best when it comes lo
accreditation honors.
The hospital received an accreditation wilh commendation from the
Joint Commission on Accreditation
of Heallhcare Organization. The
determination is the highest edict
thallhe Joint Commission bestows.
The commission is an independent, non-profit organization that
surveys health care facilities.
Health care agencies voluntarily
undergo the survey once every three
years. The surveys are performed
by members of the commission's
board, which consists of health care
professionals, such as physicians
and nurses.
Our Lady of the Way's inspection was made by a physician and a
nurse from the commission. The
two individuals spent three days at
lhe hospital and its outreach clinics
meticulously going over records,
talking ro staff and to patients
before awarding the hospital its
final score. 97, and its Lop rating.
The accreditation with commendation is awarded to health care facilities receiving a score of 90 or better, according to Billie Turner, vice
president of patient care.
Only 15 percent of health care
facilities receive the top honor,
Turner said, which means that Our
Lady of the Way Hospital ranks in
the top 15 percent internationally.
One of the inspectors told hospital officials they had "a phenomenal
organization," Kathy Stumbo, vice
president and chief operating officer at the hospital, said.
They received such a high score
in the survey lhat they had to undergo a second inspection before the
accreditation commendation could
be awarded. The second inspection
was made by the Healthcare
Financial Administration (HCFA).
Six more inspectors visited lhe hospital and checked lhe findings.
"Three or four weeks after that
survey, they concurred with the
(first) survey," Stumbo said.
"We've been really scrutinized,"
Turner added. "We said a lot of
lhank-yous (to the staff). It is our
expectation in terms of employees
to perform (their best). We have a
really dedicated group of employees."
Marie Osborne, director of performance improvement, said lhat
"everybody took a personal interest."
"The medical staff were active
and involved, not just the hospital
staff," she said.
Osborne, Turner, and Stumbo
said lhat lhe hospital didn't do any-
thing extra to earn the award, but
"This is something that doesn't requirements are. I think that's the

Trend-setters
In fashion
omemade hair cuts
and hand-me-down
clothes were the
two things that screamed loudest, and probably denoted our
poverty more than anything
else when I was growing up in
Muddy Branch. (For the benefit of the reader in Frankston.
Texas, who writes that he
doesn't know where that is,
it's located squarely between
Greentown and Tutor Key.)
When we'd go to the
Saturday matinees, we were
often teased about our hair
cuts by town kids who actually went to a barber shop.
They'd say (from a safe distance, of course) that our hair
looked like someone had put a
bowl over our heads and simply cut to the bone everything
that was hanging out.
And
hand-me-down
clothes, especially those that
had been worn by older brothers who were much larger,
were also the target of
ridicule. The pants were
always extremely faded, much
too baggy, much too long, and
the crotch often came down to
the knees.
It looks now, however, as if
we were simply ahead of our
time-by about 50 years.
I pulled up behind a school
bus the other afternoon and
watched a group of teens disembark. Every one of the
boys' haircuts looked as if
someone had put a bowl over
his head and simply cut to the
bone everything that was
hanging out.
Furthermore, they all wore
jeans that were extremely
faded, much too baggy. much
too long, and with the crotch
coming down to their knees.
I can't help but be amused
when I realize that, even
though we dido 't know it at
the time, even as far back as
the 1940s. we were trend-setters in fashion.
H
And speaking of homemade haircuts, one of our

brother Joe and me. half the
boys in the camp would suddenly appear. It's like his
barter tools - which consisted of a comb. a pair of scissors
and a pair of those old-fashioned hand clippers he ordered
from Montgomery Ward were a large magnet. Those
attracted would take turns sitting in a straight-backed,
cane-bottom chair that he'd
take from the back porch and
set in the shade of our yellow,
two-story. Northeast Coal
Company house in the head of
Silk Stocking Roow.

as he'd guide them across our
head. He'd turn an old shirt
upside down over our shoulders and stand for two or three
hours and clip away. cutting
some off and pulling some
out, for as long as the hair lasted and the boys kept coming.
But he was a coal miner.
not a barber. While he was by
no means an ex:pert. his barbering wus certainly more
than adequate, and kept Joe
and me from disgracing the
family when we'd go to
church and stuff.

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
THINGS TO PONDER
by Mable Rowe Lineberger.
Ph.D.
Although the Adams family
ha\e not been seen for at least over
,, year. someone from their commuuity tends to give information about
them from time-to-time without
n.:alizing that they are doing so.
'Them" include parents who
worked full-time: i.e., the father
was a coal miner and mother was in
the health care profession. There
was a I J-year-old sister who
seemed to be doing OK. The 16year-old son was the ''identified
client.·· He became involved with
the legal and educational systems
due to his abusing marijuana"Pot." Son and his friends were
unable to go by any rules at home
or at school. Son and his family
showed many characteristics similar to other families with a chronic
history of abusing pot.
TI1e judge ordered "counseling"
for son. Everyone showed up for
the appointment, as requested.
However. son and his father
appeared to be there for "show and
tell," while his mother seemed
interested in doing as necessary.
P'inall}, Mrs. Adams admitted that
she and her husband had smoked
pot for 20 years until about two
years earlier. An impression was
that the adults may have stopped
abusing marijuana near the time
that Son began using it. Pot had
been their recreational thing to do.
The parents felt it increased their
sexual pleasures and helped them
to relax after a tough time on the
job. Mother Adams seemed to work
at doing what they needed to do,
but Father Adams just could not
help provide consistent limits for
Some pomt after discharge from
the drug treatment program, Mrs.
Adams found work in the central
part of the state and she and the
children moved, leaving Mr.
Adams at their home in eastern
Kentucky with many "important"
neighbors. The most recent,
''unsuspecting" report about them
was that Father Adams and Son

their son and could not tell him
"No." Needless to say, under these
circumstances, the family's turmoil
went up and down as Son did whatever he wanted, such as staying
away from home with friends for
more than 24 hours at a time and
bringing a girl home to stay with
him. Basically, he did not stop
using pot. In due time, Mother
Adams realized they just could not
do for Son at home what he needed.
Son ended up being admitted to an
inpatient substance abuse treatment
program at a psychiatric hospital on
the other end of the state. Father
Adams continued to "talk Lhe talk,"
but really resisted contributing m a

were living in their home together
and supposedly maintaining their
"drug'' lifestyle. According to the
teenage female ·'reporter," who was
being seen after hospitalization for
drug treatment, she had run away
from home and stayed with them in
the house prior to drug treatment.
1l1e "big" thing over the years
has been the claims of abusers of
marijuana that it was not addictive,
whether you inhale or not.
Although pot has been used for
eons, the "flower children" of the
60's advocated its use as a way to
relax and enjoy life. "Just be real
and experience the depths of it all."
Marijuana has many other names,
i.e., Grass. Locoweed, Mary Jane,
Hashish, Tea, Gage. and Reefers. A
"guess" is that in eastern Kentucky,
pot is the second choice of drugs
after alcohol. There are many 40and-plus year olds who have
reported abusing pot since h1gh
school and college. Some may not
use but a couple times a month
now, but they still have it in their
homes and expose their children to
the idea that "it is OK," whether
they want to give the message or
not. Kids know what is going on!
Even more of our teenagers arc
using pot with alcohol. It seems
that so many teens are given money
by parents without questions, or
friends supply their needs. The
symptoms of marijuana use are:
sleepiness,
wandering
mind,
enlarged eye pupils, lack of coordination, craving for sweets, and
increased appetite. Adults should
look for a strong odor of burnt
leaves, small seeds in pocket lining,
cigarette paper, and discolored fingers.
No matter what pot abusers want
to believe. recent research has
shown that the greatest danger of
using pot is the inducement to take
stronger narcotics--other drugs,

National Institute on Drug Abuse

THIS AND THAT
My grandfather always said:
give him the new. and you could
have the old. 1 agree with him on
most of that except for modem da)
packaging. I still use a razor with a
blade to shave. (1 am slow to
change). I begin by taking a warm
cloth and washing my face. I then
get out the shaving lather. It's at thi~
time I tind I need a ne\\ razor. I get
into a dilemma of having to open a
new package of razor blades. I
begin by, I am sure like you I try to
tear down one end of the package. l
try, and with wet hands from washing my face. my fingers slip and I
break a fingernail. I then attempt to
open the package with my teeth and
this docsn 't work. I try again to tear
the package with my hand~; while
looking for something like a chainsaw to open the package. I linally
end up going to the kilchcn, local·
ing the scissors. and opening the
package.
Last week I wa!'. going to a meet·
ing and I needed a new belt. I left
home a little early for the meeting
SO I ~ould 11top$y one of the stores
Mtd get a leather belt. I found the
size and paid for the belt and
thought I would go to my car and
take the tag off the belt buckle and
be on my way. The belt buckle had
a plastic strap through it. I pulled
and tugged on the plastic loop. The
plastic would only stretch a little. I
got the keys out of my pocket and
tried to pry the snap loose; this did·
n't work. I got out of the car looKing
for anyone that l could borrow a
knife from. There was no one in
sight. I then laid the plastic on the
asphalt and I placed my foot on it
and hcgan to pull Nothing hap·
pened. I wa~
afraid 1 was
going to tear
the buckle from
the leather. I
just gave up
and went to the
meeting with grey slacks and my
old green belt. At home that
evening. I went to the kitchen draw·
er and got out the scissors and I cut
the plastic loop off.
Have you Lried to tear open a
package of potato chip:-. lately'? It is
impossible. You can't tear the package open from its ends. You must
pull the bag apart and this splits the
bag open. Packages of meat such as
bacon and hOiogna have an ttrro
telling you to open here. and the
package is re·sealable. I have never
been able to get the package to tear
where the arrow is pointing. and the
package will never reseal.
Before I stop. 1 must quarrel
about shoe and clothes sizes. I have
worn shoe size 9 1/2 all my life.
Now I can't get my foot into a size
9 l/2. I now wear a size II. I think
manufacturers are pulling a fast one
in that they have changed the shoe
numbering, or the Chinese use a
different measuring stick. Most
shoes we purchased today are made
in China. The same thing applies to
clothing. I
have worn
slacks size
34·32 even
since I was
in
high
school.
I
bought a pair 34-32 recently. I had
to return them and tell the clerk they
were about 2 inches too long in
length. They were on the floor.
Folks. I know the reason men's
shirts are expensive. I bought two
button·down collar shirts and each
had I 0 stick pins and a short piece
of cardboard on the front of the collar; a plastic wrapper around the
neck to hold the collar up and the
whole kit and caboodle was in a
plastic wrapper. I bought ink for my
printer. The ink cartridge is only
1/2-inch wide and two inches in
height. The plastic box that it came
in was 15 inches in length and 10
inches wide. I'll close on this one-

ALL GROWNUP
I got to see some pictures a few
days ago from a wedding I went to
in October. The setting was the
beautiful lawn of Jim and Suzy
McGhee in Pikeville where Cody
Pauley was married to Matthew
Blair. The bride was beautiful in her
elegant wedding gown. and the
greenery of the lawn was a perfect
background for the photography.
I've known the bride for several
years and have been aware of some
other landmark times of her lifeher graduations from elementary
and high school, and then from college. She wa~ always a delight to be
around. And I've listened to some
stories about her from the very ear·
liest stages of her life.
When she was about three years
old, Cody went through a pha~e
where she liked to climb and she
was pretty adept at finding ways to
do it. She learned that by pulling out
a cabinet drawer and arranging a
chair just right. she could make her
way to sit on the kuchen cabinet.
The only problem was that. once
there. she couldn't get down again
and so she would yell for her moth·
er to come and help her.
The mother, Kitty. would come
and lift her back to the floor, and she
would admomsh Cody, "Don't do
that again. You know you can't get
back down."
Within minutes. Cody would be
back on the cabinet and calling for
help again. And Kitty would lift her
down. move the chair and close the
drawer. This went on several times
with the order being repeated. "You
must not do this again.''
But Cody was fascinated by the
challenge and could wait only so
long before testing her abilities
again. Finally Kitty said, "Cody. if
you climb up here again. I'm just
going to let you stay. Don't ask me
to come and get you down again.''
All was quiet for a while and
Kitty was glad she had been so
emphatic. Cody would surely be
playing with her toys. Then she
heard the call again. "MOTHER!"
Sure enough. she was back sitting
on the cabinet top. but she did
remember not to ask for help.
Instead, she seemed anxious to
know, "What time will Daddy be
home?"
HELLO TO SOME READERS
In one way or another. we hear
about some special people who take
time to read these bits of nothing.
They haven't shared a story with us
yet. but maybe some day they will
Anyway, they are the rea~on for this
column. and I'd like to send a special hello to:
Phillip and Carol Coleman who
recendy moved their family from
Stanville to Frankfort. They were
visiting in Floyd County again a
few days ago with son Nick and
daughter Megan. The other daughter. Britt. is a freshman and a
majorette at U.K. Britt is having an
exciting first year in school and got
to perform with the band at the
Outback Bowl in Tampa New
Year's Day. I saw her several times
during the pre·game activities that
were televised for us at home. Britt
has pretty dark eyes and a smile that
stands out in any crowd.
To Dinah Adldns and her son
Garland who live in Minford, Ohio.
The fanuly lived in Betsy Layne for
several years where the husband
and father, Luther Adldns, operated
a very popular store. They had a big
family, including a set of triplets,
and they were all very involved in
the community. LutJ1er passed away
in 1995 and the family is a bit scat·
tered now, but they have many rela·
tives and friends they care about in
Floyd County. Garland writes me a
note once in a while to say they
always look forward to our paper.
To Gerlene Stratton who lives al
Stanville. I ran into her and husband
Leon in a super market a few
evenings ago. I didn't know she had
taken a fall that broke her hip, but
she had some surgery that helped to
mend it and is able to walk with
some difficulty. (I may have misspelled your name, Gerlene. but I
was glad to see you and wish you a
more complete recovery.)
To Jane Spears who lives on
Toler Creek and who once was my
customer at the Betsy Layne post
office. She came by fairly often
when I was worldng. We met again
outside a church one evening
recenlly and had a nice visit, even in
the cold. Jane, too. is a reader we
treasure.
To all of these--and moreyou're the reason we have a column

Carter, who is now interim superintendent. to plan strategies for
improving attendance. Rice keeps
attendance records nnd helps the
officers with communications about
attendance.
Each of the four attendance offi·
cers works with a high school and
its feeder schools. Walter Bentley
works with the Betsy Layne area;
Danny Branson works in the
Prestonsburg area; Jerry Fultz
works in the Allen Central area; and
Freddie Hall works in the South
Aoyd area.
One of the biggest pluses for the
attendance officers ts visibility. If a
student misses too many days without an explanation, he/she will be
referred by the teacher. Then one of
the officers will be in touch with the
family by phone.
The team members start out with
a discussion of the importance of
attending school and the consequences of not attending.
Sometimes officers make home
visits to check on students. If this
does not help the situauon. the officers take a tougher stance that could
eventually result in court act10n.
According to state law. any parent, guardian or custodian who
intentionally fails to comply with
the requirements for attendance
(KRS 159.010 to 159.170) shall be
fined $100 for the first offense and
$250 for the second offense.
Sometimes there 1s a real problem that prevents students from
coming to school. Hall said the officers work with family resource cen-

Moti~n
1 to answer the default judgment
motion.
As of Wednesday, Mullins, who
is incarcerated at the South Central
Correctional Facility in Clifton,
Tenn., was the only defendant who
had responded to the motion for
default judgment or to the lawsuit
complaint.
Mullins' motion was filed Feb.
1.
The motion, filed by mail by
Mullins himself, says Mullins originally had believed he was represented in the lawsuit by Kentucky
attorney Steve Owens, who defended him on the murder charges.
"Defendant is under the impression, due to the above-mentioned
counsel's lack of action, that the
above-mentioned counsel no longer
represents the defendant in this
action,'' Mulhns' motion says.
The motion also claims that both
Mullins and members of his family
had been unsuccessful in contacting
Owens "to retneve paperwork concerning this case in order for the
defendant to find a new attorney or
for the defendant to represent himself."
It is unclear if Owens evtr actually represented Mullins in the civil
suit or if Mullins simply assumed
that Owens represented him in the
civil action because he represented
him in the criminal case.
Mullins was the only one of the
Kentuckians represented by a private attorney during the murder
case. The other defendants were
represented by either the Third
Judicial District Public Defender's
office or lawyers appointed by the

court.
During last March's sentencing
hearing, Mullins did not take the
witness stand. Co-defendant Jason
Bryant did testify and maintained
that Mullins and co-defendant
Joseph Risner were responsible for
the fatal shootings.
Bryant, however, was blamed
for the killings by co-defendants
Natasha Cornett. Karen Howell and
Risner during their sentencing hearing testimony.
Gilreath had filed a motion for
default judgment on Dec. 18, 1998,
against Mullins and co-defendants
Jason B. Bryant, Natasha w.
Cornett, Karen R. Howell, Joseph
L. Risner and Crystal R. Sturgill.
Gilreath's motion asks the court
for default judgment on the grounds
that none of the defendants had
responded to the lawsuit by Dec.
17, 1998, although it had been filed
on March 9, 1998.
Howell,
Cornett,
Bryant,
Mutlins, Risner and Sturgill were
sentenced to three terms each of life
without parole last March 13 by
Judge James E. Beckner at the conelusion of a sentencing hearing in
Greene County Criminal Court.
In February 1998, the six young
Kentuckians had pleaded guilty to
murdering Peter's parents and his
six-year-old sister in April 1997.
In the lawsuit, Gilreath had
asked the court to award Peter
Lillelid compensatory damages of
$5 million for the loss of his father,
$5 million for the loss of his mother, $3 million for the loss of his sister and $8 million for the injuries

The suit also seeks $25 million
in punitive damages from the si X
young Kentuckians.
At the time the suit was ftled las
March, Gilreath said it had been
filed to prevent the convicted kille rs
from profiting, through book or
movie deals, from the deaths of the
Lillelids.
Neither Gilreath's motion nor
Mullins' had been set for a co urt
hearing as of Wednesday, accordin g

years old on March 3, bves with his
paternal aunt, Randi Heier, and her
family, in Marsta, Sweden. He is
recovering from serious injuries
suffered in the attack that killed his
parents and sister.
Wednesday afternoon, Gilreath
said he hoped the court would set a
hearing on the motion for defaul t
judgment when Peter is in the U.S
for a visit with his mother's rela
tives "sometime in the next tw 0
months."
The attorney said he would like
to have Peter present at any hearin g
on damages in the civil case.
Gilreath said he had last spoken
with Randi Heier, Peter's guardian
about the first of this year. At tha
time, he said, Heier said Peter was
still undergoing physical therapy
for spinal injuries that had limited
his ability to walk.
The boy also lost the sight in one

ters, the transportation department,
child welfare agencies and local
doctors to see that students hav.:: the
matenals and services that allow
them to attend school.
The problem of hce has hurt
attendance in Aoyd County, so the
officers work with the family
resource centers to make sure the
medicine to rid the student of lice is
provided in a timely manner.
Once the services or materials
have been provided, the officers and
the schools expect the students to be
in school. If they are not. one of the
officers will be mvestlgatmg.
The attendance officers said the
local courts arc "one hundred per
cent more helpful than in the past."
The officers expressed appreciation
for this help and hope that it continues.
Hall said the schools could help
tremendously by adopting stricter
policies on absences. Assessment
coordinator Phil Paige agreed with
Hall, saying, "If a student has I8
signed excuses, he is going to be
using number 19."
Hall also said schools need to
adopt stricter academic standards.
He said in some cases students have
missed from 50 to 60 days and yet
were passed on to the next level.
Paige agreed. "The best attendance occurs in those rooms where
meaningful work was being done,"
he said.
Sometimes students (and even
parents and teachers) start anticipating that school will be dismissed for
flu or other illnesses. "I can't see
any reason why we would dismiss
classes for viruses or flu,'' said
Carter
The officers said the good students who miss school to go shopping hurt attendance. They recommend that appointments and shopping trips be planned during nonschool hours.
The officers are getung geared
up now for the absences that come
with "spring fever."
The system usually has a problem with state tournament week,
when students miss school to go to
the games. Some people, including
board member Johnnie Ross, have
suggested that the spring break
coincide with the tournament.
Carter urged everyone to work
toward better attendance. "If the
students aren't in clac;s, they miss
that much mstruct10n, and, in reah ty. can never truly make it up,~' he
said.

Derossett is anything but a

involved in business operations for
most of her adult life. She earned a
busmess degree from Mayo
Vocational and a paralegal degree
from the MSU Big Sandy Campus.
She previously owned her own

Before she became a regional

Recycling Committee. Derossett is
devoted to improving the environment in eastern Kentucky through
such efforts as recycling, and that
is one of her goals as director of
the Floyd County Chamber of
Commerce.
"I really hope that I, along with
the board, can shape into being a

"It's not so much a crusade as a

issues," she added.
If the Chamber board gives
Derossett the nod for the JOb, she

The six Kentuckians were arrested two days after the shootings

""
Jeffer.; said two of her deputy
clerks had spent weeks making
copies and pulling together the
thousands of pages of documents
related to the case.
The clerks, Jeffers said, had to
wait until transcripts of testimony
in the week-long sentencing hearing were completed. Those, she
said, were not received hy her office
until September.
"We had Criminal Court going
on in September and couldn't realty
devote full attention to preparing
~the technical record until after the
court session ended," Jeffers said.
Deputy Clerks Judy Helton and
Mary Brown worked on compiling
the thousands of pages or information throughout Novcmhcr and
December, nnd actually completed
the proJect just before Christmas.,
Jeffers said.
"We wanted to tinish so we
wouldn' t be here working on it during the holidays," Jeffers said.
The tkadline set by the Court of
Criminal Appcab for deltvery of
the Lillelid case's technical record
tJ was January 12.
However. Jeffers noted that she
dido 't want to wan until the last
minute before delivering the legal
documents. "You never know what
the weather will do," she said.
DEFENSE ArroRNEY's
REVIEw
Greeneville attorney T. Wood
"Woody" Smith, who, along with
Johnson City attorney Marlc Slagle,
is handling Risner's appeal. said
that the vanous teams of anorneys
representing the six Kentuckians
will examine the technical record
after it was flied with the Court of
Criminal Appeals.
"We need to study the record to
determine if we have any objections
to it and to see if we feel additions
need to be ,made." Smith said.
The appeals court. Smith said,
usually allows defense attorneys to
"check out" the technical record to
review lt. Smith said, however, that
he was unsure exactly what process
would be used in this case, due to
the large number of attorneys
involved.
Arrangements must be made,
Smtth said, to ensure that attorneys
for all six Kentuckians have access
to the record so that legal briefs
supporting the appeals can be filed
in a timely fashion.
Attorneys may have to ask the
court for additional Lime to file
briefs in support of their clients'
appeals, he said.
Third Judicial District Attorney
General Berkeley .Bell also is
expected to file a bnef urging the
court to uphold the life-withoutparole sentences imposed in the
case.
After the briefs are filed, Smith
said, oral arguments will be sched-
uled before the Court of Criminal
Appeals. Defense attorneys and
District Attorney General Bell will
appear before the Appeals Court
during oral arguments.
Smith said that it would likely be
several months before oral argo~ ments would be scheduled in the
case. He noted that a decision on
the Lillelid case appeals by the
Court of Criminal Appeals might
not come before the end of 1999.
"I wouldn't be surprised either
way," Smith said.

SATISFACTION..•

A lot of nerve
Some people have a lot of nerve.
Buford Mcintosh of Knott County never acknowledged
Amanda Jo Amburgey was his daughter. Even after a genetic
test showed a 99.95 percent probability that Mcintosh was
Amanda's biological father, he continued to deny responsibility for her and refused to pay one penny in child support.
Meanwhile. Amanda and her mother, Kim Jacobs, lived in
poverty on welfare while Jacobs' paternity suit moved
through the courts at a snail's pace.
Then at age 17, Amanda was killed in an automobile accident. Now Mcintosh - who continues to deny he was her father- thinks he deserves half of her life insurance, which is
$14.000.
. It taker:; a lot of gall for someone who never helped support
h1s daughter, never visited her, did not attend her funeral and
still denies fatherhood to expect half of the dead girl's meager
estate.
If there is any justice in this world, the courts will rule that
Amanda's mother not only deserves aJI of her estate, but also
a hefty chunk of back child support payments from the deadbeat daddy. - The Daily Independent, Ashland

Staying off Welfare
By their very nature, government bureaucracies are neither
flexible nor innovative. They keep functioning as they always
have until some force -usually a new law or an executive
order - mandates change.
·n1at's why we are pleasanlly surprised at reports of a
meeting between the heads of two separate state agencies on
ways to help families transition off welfare.
Viola Miller, secretary of the Cabinet for Families and
Children, and Michael McCall. prestdent of the new Kentucky
Community and Technical College System, think community
colleges could help the state coordinate a range of services for
stmggling families. The idea is to use the campuses as onestop regional centers for education. job-training and social
services.
Right now. mothers working new jobs have to make ap-
pointments to go one place for food stamps, another for child
care and another for housing assistance. And some of those
things have to be recertified every three months.
This means that some families don't get full help available.
Or, mothers are often in danger of losing jobs for having to
leave work for one appointment after another.
We know that Miller. whose agency has undergone masshe change in efforts to help families become self-sufficient,
unucrstands the challenges these families face. Because no
matter how good the state looks right now on paper for decreasing welfare rolls, it could all collapse if people don't get

PRAISE FOR TOWN BRANCH CHURCH
Editor:
On Dec. 18, I had the opportunity to see the hard
work the people of the Town Branch Church do. I
was deeply touched by all they did for the children
- new clothing, shoes, sleepwear, pants, dresses
and coats.
The members of the church worked hard that day
for about 13 hours. They could have been lots of
other places, but they chose to spend the day helping
others.
I feel that Town Branch Church is reaching out,
and that is what the church is about - reaching out
to those in need.
I know Brother Ted would be so proud of the
church and its people.
If you don't have a church to attend, 1 know you
would receive a warm welcome from the whole
church.

'IMPEACH ROGERS AND FELLOW REPUBLICANS'
Editor:
I found it entertaining that your newspaper ran a
front page story wherein Hal Rogers is denouncing
the President for not including flood control funds in
his budget. Of course, if Hal Rogers, and his fellow
Republican right-wing, sexual police had their way,
the President would be removed from office.
This is also the same President that Hal Rogers
neglects to mention whenever he claims credit for
any public works in the district Of course, any project that comes to the district typically wouldn't be
here but for the President's signature.
While apparently 70 percent of the country didn't
want the President impeached, and probably a high·
er percentage in this district, Hal Rogers thumbed
his nose at the people in this district and voted to impeach the President. Frankly, I wouldn't blame the
President, if he dismissed Hal Rogers complaining
about his budget.
Under the circumstances the President could correctly conclude that Hal Rogers didn't represent the
wishes of his constituents when he voted to impeach. A just ending to the present political affairs,
is if Hal Rogers and his fellow Republicans were
impeached by the voters io 2000.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WARRANTS COVERAGE
I want to commend the staff of the Times for the
excellent insert on Domestic Violence that was part
of your paper on January 27, 1999. I am hopeful that
all of the Times' readers will take the oppo.rttmity to
read the entire insert.
Domestic Violence is one of our society's greatest
problems and the Times is to be commended for
making this special effort to educate the public and
to provide information to abused spouses. The staff
of Appalred in its 10 offices see the magnitude of
this problem every day in our representation of
abused spouses.
We are fortunate that in Floyd County we have
had a growing commitment to combat this problem
through the Domestic Violence Council and its par-
ticipating agencies and members; and we are fortunate that we have lhe Big Sandy Abuse Shelter for
victims in our area.
Perhaps through continuing cooperation of these
agencies, and with the help of the religious community in our area, we will be able to gradually reduce
the level of violence that continues to be prevalent in
so many homes.
Thanks again, Floyd County Times staff. for the
important contribution that you have made~

CommentaryCOMMENTARY BY THE COMPANY WE KEEP
by Robert F. Sexton
The latest report on American education has just
been published. The report, Quality Counts, focuses
on how states measure student learning and how schools are being held
accountable for it.
The report shows that almost every
state in America is trying to do what
Kentucky began with its school reform in 1990-cstablish high academic standards;
demand that every chHd reaches them; improve
teaching so that all children learn; provide incentives for good teaching; aid schools so they can
reach their goals rather than regulating every step
they take; push most decisions to the local level.
In Quality Counts states are ranked and graded
for their performance. What leaps out
from the report's pages is how much
Kentucky's situation has changed
since 1990. Kentucky is in the upper
division among other states in most
categories in the report.
Kentucky is in a different league than it was in
past generations. Kentucky has moved out of the
minor leagues and into the majors. WhHe the report

Probably the favorite thing I do is the
"day trips'' for every Friday's TV Times. 1
l11ow these stories are by no means the
most important items in the newspaper. not
by a long shot. They have no effect on the
day-to-day lives of people in Floyd County.
And, I am aware that sometimes I sound
as if I'm doing public relations work for
some of the places I write about. Truth is,
when I was in public relations for many
years, l never allowed myself to gush, nor
to be as involved in a story as 1 often am
these. I was greatly concerned about credibility.
But the truth is, too, that I've come almost to feel I'm on a mission. The more I
explore and
the more I
learn, the
more I am amazed at all the wonderful
things we have in this area to be proud of.
For so long - decades and decades we have believed that everything worth
Daytripping
seeing and knowing about is ''out there,"
somewhere far away from here, somewhere that is not connected to us. We've
looked to Lexington for value or to Gatlinburg for vacation.
On the other end of the spectrum are
those who have believed that everything
worth seeing and doing is in their own
short holler. Consequently, they've tended
to narrow their world until they are unaware of and intolerant of anything outside
their familiarity.
Both ways of thinking fall short. There
is so much for us to know about and to see
and to experience in this area, so much to
be proud of, but it may be in the next holler
or two counties over or up a newly-graveled road.
There was a time when we stayed on our
road because we had little choice. When I
was growing up. for instance, in
Paintsville, I seldom came to Prestonsburg.
I was in high school before I ever got to
Pikeville, and that was for the regional
speech festival. Fewer people had cars, and
even the main roads were bad. I don't remember for sure, but I suspect Ashland had .
the closest four-lane road.
I grew up knowing very little about my
own region. I knew a lot more about Ohio
where we went to visit displaced relatives.
I knew from books and magazines about
national parks and about cities like New
York and Chicago, and from the CourierJournal I knew what it must be like to live
in Louisville.
I knew practically nothing about the history. culture, geology, and art of this region, and I can't remember anybody else
who knew much to tell me about it, except
perhaps for some family stories. What I did
know - much of it learned from the national media tended to make me
ashamed.
Those excuses for not knowing don't
hold up today. Most of us have one or more
vehicles- and from the looks of our parking lots, some drive more than one at a
time. And, as much as we complain, we've
got fairly decent roads, two or three of
them with four lanes.
So, if you think I'm getting overly saccharine about some of the places I come
across, don't be too harsh. I'm discovering
a world I didn't know existed, one I feel
I've been cheated out of because 1 didn't
go a-looking. Whether it's a state park or a
roadside store, it represents the best of us.
And, I'm excited about sharing with
you. I'm hoping people are reading and
saying to themselves. "Yes. maybe I'll go
there." I'm hoping they'll tum off the TV
and take their kids and grandkids to see
Appalachia and accept that it's not a dirty
word. The effort can result in a good time
spent together in building pride - and it
will be a lot cheaper than DisneyWorld.

gives Kentucky good marks in
many areas and poor ones in others,
the Commonwealth is in the company of states to which it wants to
be compared.
On some indicators. Kentucky is
in the top group with states like
Georgia, North Carolina, Texas,
and Connecticut. For years many
Kentuckians wistfully looked to
t North Carolina as the South's
leader in educational and econorruc
progress. Kentucky is now running
even with North Carolina in many
ways although not, by a long shot.
on all signs of progress.
For
comparing
academic
achievement Quality Counts uses
the National Assessment of
Educational Progress, a commonly
accepted national test taken by students in 40 states. Here too
Kentucky has broken out of its historic residency in the nation's educational cellar. We used to compare
ourselves only to Mississipp1 and
Arkansas. (Remember 'Thank God
• for Mississippi"? In Mississippi, to
be fair, folks excused their educational failure with "Thank God for
Kentucky.")
But now Kentucky has scores
that are in the ballpark with states
like Delaware, Rhode Island,
Georgia, Virginia and, yes, even
North Carolina. Kentucky is still
not at the national average, and
there's a long way to go on the student achievement front for all
states. But we're in the right company. Big problems appear in
Kentucky's numbers for middle
schools (tenibly weak). in the large
achievement gap between girls and
• boys (girls win big time, by the
way). and in the failure to raise
scores for minority children.
But all-in-all, as one of the poorest states in the nation (whose
school children are therefore harder
to educate well), Kentucky can do
some cheering.
While Quality Counts reports
much that Kentucky educators can
celebrate, my emphasis is still on
what has not been achieved. We
have a long way to go before we
have the schools Kentucky children
and their parents need and deserve.
For instance, Kentucky gets high
marks for new approaches rn
teacher education. ranking as one of
the top five states in this category.
But this doesn't mean Kentucky, or
any other state. is preparing fantastically qualified teachers. The rankings do show, I hope, that we are
poised to make gains in preparing
teachers better.
The repon also shows we need
to make our academic standards
more clear to teachers. Kentucky
also gets low marks for what's
called "school climate," measured
on criteria like parent involvement,
studenLc; feeling involved in school,
and class size in middle school.
Most other states also do poorly on
these mcac;ures, but that's no excuse
for poor perfonnance.
If imitation is the sincerest form
of flattery, then we're getting it.
Most states are now in some way or
another imitating Kentucky. They
arc also learning much from our
mistakes. Being a model for others
is bittersweet: the flattery is nice:
the mistakes are painful.
However, as actress Zsa Zsa
Gabor has said: "I've been rich and
I've been poor, and rich is better."

FRIDAY, F EBRUARY

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
Search on for all who have adopted
special needs children since 1979
Angello S. Vance
The Special Needs Adoption
Program. SNAP. is searching for all
families \\ ho have adopted a ch1ld
through the state program over the
past 20 years. A S(li!Cial reunion is
being planned for the families.
SNAP. a program of the state's
Cabmet for Families and Children,
was established in 1979 to recruit
adopt• ve families for children
whose special needs may make
them hard to place. The program
includes older children, sibling
groups of three or more. and children v. ith moderate to severe physical. mental and emotional disabilities.
The reunion of adoptive families
is to be the highlight of a year-long
celebration of the program's
anniversary.
A proclamation issued by Gov.
Paul Patton declares 1999 to be a
year "for recognition and celebration" of SNAP's 20 years, and
encourages all Ke ntuckians to join
in the celebration.
SNAP has placed more than
1,800 children in adoptive homes
since 1979.
"We owe our program's success
to our adoptive parents," said the
reunion's organizer, Ann Cutler of
SNAP's Lexington office, "and we
want to take this opportunity to
express our appreciation to them."
SNAP also owes much of its success to the SNAP Book. a photo
album of special needs children
awaiting adoption, and to the support of Kentucky's media.
A child with special needs is profiled each week on "Wednesday's
Child,'' an evening news feature of
Louisville's Channel 32, and on
"Thursday's Child," a feature of
C hannel 18 in Lexington. Local
newspapers throughout the state
also frequently profile SNAP children. The SNAP Book is available
at most local hbraries throughout
the state, and at all local offices of
the Cabinet for Families and
Children 's
Department
for
Kentucky Governor Paul Patton
will be the keynote speaker at the
12th Annual East Kentucky
leadership Conference, Apnl 23-24
m Pikeville.
Patton will address the conference at the Friday dmner meeting of
the organization. The dinner will
begin at 5:30 p.m. tn the Mark Ill
Lounge at the Landmark Inn and
will be followed by the aqnual East
Kentucky Leadership Foundation
Awards ceremony.
The two-day conference will
bring together Eastern Kentuckians
from all walks of life for an open
discusston of the important issues
facing the region.
While the conference features
well-know~ leaders, its primary
focus IS to help.everyone reach their
leadership potential.
"This is not a conference for just
a few speakers and listeners," said
Dr. Grady Stumbo, chairman of the
East
Kentucky
Leadership
Foundation Board of Directors.
'The goal is to make everyone a
speaker, listener and most importantly, an effective leader."
Friday's early bird sessions start
at 2:30 p.m. Topics for Friday
include Women in Leadership, 12
years of progress, and a session on
youth leadership.
Saturday sessions on the 1999
conference agenda include the following topics;
Early
Brain
Development; Jumpstarting our
Children; Country Music Stars;
Investing in Eastern Kentucky; Arts
and Crafts-The Invisible Factory;
Dialog on Poverty. 2000; PRIDE is
Picking
Up: Talkin' Trash;
Unplugging
the
Agriculture
Extension Service; Education
Reform; Why isn't Eastern
Kentucky Catching Up; and
Where's Bubba?: Declining Male
Enrollment in Post-Secondary
Education.
There will also be an intensive
session Saturday mormng on
''Mountain Top Removal: Where's
the Middle Ground?"
Registration for the conference
is $25, which includes the Friday
dinner, Saturday lunch, and all conference sessions.

KSP warns, beware of telephone solicitors
The Kemucky State Police
warns residents of The Btg Sandy
Valley to be wary of telephone
solicitors. Capt. Luke Luttrell of
Post 9 in Pikeville shares the following information from the
AARP.
• Older consumers report that, on
average. they get more than six calls
or letters seeking charitable donations every week. That's more than
300 calls or leners every year.
• More than 213 of older consumers are NOT confident that
unknown callers "really represent the
organization they say they do."
• More than half of older con·
sumers (57%' NEVER ask a caller
how the donation will be spent.
• Almost 213 of older consumers
say they know where to go to get
more information about a charity.
Unfortunately, most people who
say they know where to go; would
go to the charity itself. If the charity is not legitimate, the information
is unreliable. Don't take their word,
call your state Attorney General or
Secretary of State.
Before you give, get more information:
• Ask the charity's full name,
address, and telephone number.
• Ask how much of your donation
goes to the program the request
describes, and how much goes to
administrative costs.
• Call your state Attorney General
or Secretary of State's office to see if
the charity is registered.
• Dcpendmg on your state, charittes must file financial and other disclosure statements; get copies and
review them.
Be sure you know who is calling:
• If a fundraiser calls, call the
chanty directly. and ask if it is really
sponsoring a fundraising drive.
• Beware of similar sounding
names; don't assume you know this
group because the name or symbols
seem familiar.
Beware of calls from phony
"charities:"
• Solicitations by fake charities
increase around the holidays and
after disasters, with an emotional
pitch de);igned to tug at your heartstrings.
Protect your charitable dollars:
• Pay with a check made out to the
charity. not the fundraiser.
• Don't give ar the door to a couri·
er or messenger, or by leaving a
check: under the doormat. Send it
directly to the chanty.
• Keep records of your donations
and pledges, and check your records
if someone says you made a pledge
you don't recall
• Know the difference between
tax deductible and tax-exempt.
Donations to tax-exempt organizations are NOT necessarily tax·
deductible for you; if your donation
is tax-deductible, get a receipt.
Know your rights:
• If a fundraiser tries to bully
you. hang up and report them to
authorities
• You do NOT need to pay for
merchandise or gifts you did not
order.
• Beware of promises of prizes
and sweepstakes; you do NOT have
to donate in order to be able to win.
• Don't be intimidated by a fraudulent demand-for-payment letter
threatening action by a credit
bureau-a legitimate organization
will send a polite reminder notice.
To learn more about charity fraud,
or if you suspect fraud:
• Call the Attorney General or
Secretary of State for your state.
Telephone numbers will be listed in
the government pages of the phone
book.
• To complain, write to:
Correspondence Branch Federal
Trade Commission, Washington,
D.C. 20580.
• If you are inquiring about a
national charity. contact:

Tackett scores 23
.as South Floyd
edges Bobcats
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
It was close, oh so close!
Michael Gross' last second three-point attempt hung suspended on the
front of the rim for just a fraction of a second, giving hope to the Betsy
Layne Bobcats in search of a district win. But the ball rolled off the front of
t. the rim and fell harmlessly to the court as the hom sounded revealing an 80~7 South Floyd win over the Bobcats at the D.W. Howard Fieldhouse at
Betsy Layne Thesday night.
The win improved the Raiders to 4-2 in conference play and 8-9 overall.
Betsy Layne fell to 6-12 on the season and 2-4 in the conference.
Betsy Layne coach Tim Rice saw yet another one escape the Bobcats.
"We have lost six or seven games within three or four points," he said.
•·we could be 12-6 instead of what we are. ln the final three minutes of a
game we just don't seem to execute or make the big plays."
Betsy Layne trailed by as many as 13 points in the game but fought back
to contend for the win at the end.
South Floyd, who won their second straight game, won over the Bobcats
for the second time this season. Four players scored in double figures, led
by Kyle Tackett's 23 points, including two three-point baskets. Ryan
Shannon added 17, Michael Hall, an eighth-grader, netted 14, and Byron
Hall scored I l.
,
Scott Collins, who played one of his best games of the year, took game
scoring honors with 24 points, including a three-point basket. He had 10
rebounds (unofficially) for the game.
Anthony Tackett finished with 17 points, and Bradley Brooks netted IS
points with eight rebounds. He just missed his third straight double-double.
Brooks had a double double against Belfry and Fairview earlier.
There were four ties in the game with only one lead change. The game
was tied at 4, 6, and I 8, and the only lead Betsy Layne held was at 19-18
(See Tackett, page three)

Layne Lady Cats at the D. W. Howard
Fieldhouse Thesday night as part of a
boys/girls' doubleheader. lt was the
second loss of the year to Betsy
Layne for South Floyd.
The loss dropped South Floyd to
0-6 in the Floyd County Conference
and 5-12 overall. Betsy Layne
improved to 2-3 in the conference
and 7-8 overall.
Amanda Hall scored 20 points to
lead the Lady Cats and sophomore
Jenny Parsons, saddled with early
foul trouble, finished with 16 points.
'1 never thought that Jenny would
have scored 16 points after having to
sit most of the game," said Betsy
"I was really pleased with
the two girls coming off the
betach,, said the Betsy lAyne
coach. "Amber came in and
got two steals off our press.,,
Layne coach Cassandra Akers.
Parsons was whistled for three
quick personal fouls in the first quarter and was relegated to the bench.
But she had six of the eight first quarter points for Betsy Layne, who
trailed 16-8 after the opening period.
The Lady Cats got strong bench
play from some young players like
Amber Roberts, who finished with
four points but played very well in
other ways. Devon Reynolds, who
had only two points, had four assists.
"1 was really pleased with the two
girls coming off the bench,'' said the
Betsy Layne coach. "Amber came in
and got two steals off our press."
Akers said her team's inability to
move the ball brought on the younger
players.
South Floyd, led by Stewart, who
wanted the basketbaiJ in her hands
and wanted to take charge, looked
sharp in the early going. Stewart was
slashing her way to the basket and
out in front on the breaks. She scored
five points in the ftrst period, teaming
with Shanna Hall to lead the Lady
Raiders.
The game was tied at 2 and 4
before Betsy Layne took a 6-4 lead
on two Parsons' free throws. A 6-0
run by the Lady Raiders netted them
a 10-6 lead, and they extended that to
eight at the first stop. Misty Berger
had a rebound basket and a three(See Lady Cats, page three)

GETTING A BREAK...
DOLLAR NIGHTS
Get this! Betsy Layne High
School is offering a price cut to
fans for a boys' game on
Tuesday, February 9, and a girls'
game Thursday. February 11.
All adults and students attending the game will pay only $2
and $1. That's right! Adult tickets are only $2 and students $1.
That's better than Wal-Mart
rolling back its prices.
The weather outside has been
just right for the month of
January and so far the ftrst part
of February. Makes you want to
get the old bascbatl glove and
spikes out and go hit a few
ground balls and shag some t1y
balls.
Baseball season is on the horizon and it looks like some teams
may have good practice weather,
instead of having to practice
inside.
While I was at the ALI "A"
last week, I could hear the sound
of the ball hitting the bat as
Eastern University was on the
field practicing.
The high school season
promises to be a real interesting
season. The Pikeville Panthers
will once again be a very strong
club, losing only one player from
last year's championship season.
Coach Russell Shepherd is
trying to drum up some sympathy for his Blackcat team, telling
us that they are going to be weak
- but he says it with a sly grin.
The Blackcats will be the
team to beat in the 15th Region,
and the veteran coach needs no
sympathy from us because he
will put an all-star team on the
diamond come April.
Johnson Central is always a
strong baseball school and it
doesn't look like the Eagles are
going to be any less than they
have been the past four sea'>ons.
Coach Mike Collins will have
the Eagles soaring.
Paintsville High School is
back and the Tigers. one of the
most fearsome te<ml of bygone
years, will once again field a
strong club.
Coach Kevin Spurlock and
the Allen Central Rebels will be
another regional contender this
year. along with Pike Central,
Phelps. Belfry. Sheldon Clark
and Millard.
Tlm Rice and Bets]' Layne
Bobcats, if they can get the
pitching, will have tradition on
their side and a very competitive
team.
NOTES...
• We need all county teams to

send us a copy.

, ur.
' 'I JUS! cou ldn't pa<;s it up," he
said. "This is all exciting. hut I'm
just happy to get it all O\'Cr with. It
really hasn't sunk in yet as to what
a hig deal this is. But may he it will
bl'fore the day is over."
Leslie playl·d fo ur years at
Prestonsburg High School under
Coach Derossett. who said replacing Lesl ie is not going tu be easy
next season.
"I don't know hlm we an:
going to replace hun." he said "I
turned to the Pikeville and Russell
games and it seemed like in the
first hair he made all the tackles.
"The thri!C years here he has
been a tremendous player to
coach. He hasn't missed a practice
in three years . That ~ays a lot
about Nathan."
With mom a ~1arshall graduate,
Nathan's fathcr, Kenneth Ll!slie,
said he would IO\e to sec another
Marshall degree gracing the Leslie
fami ly walt-..
" l was really excited when
Nathan chose Marshall," he said .
"Not only because of the opportunity to play foothall, hut a chance
to get an education.
"We are fami liar wnh Marshall
Uni versity and its lcarnmg opportunities, because we have one
degree hanging on the wall. We
\\nuld like to set' another one.''
Leslie was quick to give credit
to the players he played with in ht~
four years at Prestonsburg.
''Without my teammates I
couldn't have done this." he said.
"When you pia)( with players like
Grant Castle, John Ortega, Adam
Hall, Mark Branham, Hank
(Mullins), Seth (Crisp) and
Jeremy (Caudill), ir makes your
job a lot easier. They arc not only
my teammates, but they also are
my friends."
Ortega, who has been one of
the top Prestonsburg players the
past four seasons. said it was a
great four years.
"Every
year
he
would
improve,'' said Ortega. "II' you had
a game plan against Prestonsburg
it had to include blocking l)Ut
Nathan. If you didn't. he would be
in on e\ Cl) tackle. I love the four
years l got to pia) football v. ith
him and I wish him the best at
Marshall."
Adam Hall. quarterback for
Prestonsburg the last two ~;casons.
recalled the earlier days v. hen he
had to play against Leslie. Leslie
played for Allen Elementary while
Hall suited up for Adams Middle
School.
"He was always big. Playing
against him was hard." Hall said.
"Their seventh grade team that
year was a very good one and
Nathan was a big factor in their
being so good. But \\hen we were
in the eighth grade, we beat Allen.
It has been nice to play with
somehod) al> big a~ he is.''
Hall aH.I he lelt that Nathan
had made n g<>l'td choice in choosing Mar,hall . " He had a choice of
going to other places, but I think
he made tlw right decision," he
said.
Leslie said he plans to be in
training this summer at the
Huntington.
W.Va.,
school.
According to Coach Derossett,
Leslie will he on only one side of
the football at Marshall and that is
the llcfcmJve end.
"Nathan will only have to be
concernedwith playing one side of
the football and he will get defensive instructions every day," said
the Prestonsburg coach. "They
will have to refine him, I' m sure,
but I feel he can play there."
Leslie said he hasn't played
that position since h~; \\as a sophomore.
"I played defensive end when I
was a sophomore, but I rhink it
v. ill help ha\ ing played there
before. I think I can adJust." he
said. "After basketball season, l
am going to hit the weights hard."
Les lie said he had lost 15
pounds since the basketball season
began. The Marshall coaching
staff wants him at a 270 playing
weight. Ire weighs 225 now.
"That is what they want him to
weigh hy the time he is a junior,"
said Coach Derossett. The
Prestonsburg coach said he found
a lot of gratilication to sec a player sign to play ut the next level .
'·It makes you feel good," he
said. ''They have their schooling

Leslie's father said much credit

Once again the problem has resur1~1ced
and. once again. the residents of Left Beaver
are having to fight in order to preserve the
old Wheelwright High School gymnasium.
According to Roger Johnson, Oshome
Elementary guidance counselor. saving the
school is not necessaril) prescn Ill¥ h~rita$e
but putting a needed facility to u~.
"We have a ba<;J.:etball program here ar
Osborne and we played our grunes there,"
said Johnson...When you look ar the South
Aoyd gym (Raider Arena), there arc too
many things going on to use it. Even the
middle school has to practice late at night
after everyone else gets through with it."
• Johnson is just one of the hundreds or
people who a\i! concerned over the school

leaving the community without a gymnasium.
What is taking place at Whechvright is
sad because we have heard so often from

with a wall so close to the gym floor."

positively on this and decide to keep the
facility for our kids to use. Selling the facility will go a long way in hurting some very

s~hool board member Carol Stumbo
met wtth the community at the Wheelwright
Freewill Baptist Church this past MomJay
night to get a feel for what the community
thought.
"She knows now how the community
feels about it." said Johnson. '·She is for
keeping the gym under the control of the

vote to keep it."

Johnson sa1d that Judgc·Executivc Paul

the middle into heavy traffic as he
forced up a shot. Coach Rice felt his
player was fouled on the play.
"He was fouled," he said. "We
should have gone to the line but
nothing was called."
On the rebound, Tackett was
fouled and hit the back end of a two
shot foul that gave South Aoyd a

Coach Rice.
The ball can1e into the hands of
Gross who moved to the left side of
the key and launched the desperation try. The shot was short.
"1 felt he should have shot the
ball without putting it on the floor,"
srud Coach Rice. "It looked like it
was going to go in.''
South Aoyd held a 18-15 ftrst

tia Dobson, Allen Central
Rebel mascot, writes: ''I saw
what you wrote in "A Look At
Sports" (Friday, January 15)
and asked the question, ''What
has happened to all our mas·
cots? Where is the Blackcat, the
Raider and the Bobcat?"
Those are good questions. I
would like to tell you what I
think the answers are."
Dobson goes on to say that
the "school spirit" has gone
down in the past 10 years (and I
agree) and that has taken the
legacy and pride out of the
school mascots.
"School spirit. they think. is
wearing your school colors,
coming to the games. being a
cheerleader, a ball player, being
in the pep club and even in the
school band. But school spirit is
also putting on a hot outfit that
sometimes does not tit, and run
bard ins1de and posting up," Akers
said. "We have to score inside. Those
two have to score."
South Aoyd hung around, trailing
by four points for most of the third
period, but the Lady Cats opened up
a 10-point margin with 4:33 to play
on a long three-point basket by HalL
Committing three consecutiver
turnovers. South Floyd found themselves down 50-30 as Betsy Layne
around the sidelines, in the
bleachers trying to get the
crowd into a ball game."
It is good to see 'Ila in the
gray Rebel outfit and at the
games (boys or girls). I think
the mascot adds to the atmos~
phere and would like to see
other schools get theirs out of
the moth balls. Thanks Tia for
the letter.
FINAL NOTE...
The ball throwing incident at
Betsy Layne versus South
Floyd Thesday night was something that was totally uncalled
for. I know tempers, at times,
get out of hand, but the foul bad
been called and correctly. There
was no need for the Raider
player to hit a Betsy Layne
player in the back with the ball.
What gets me is we applaud
such a thing and pat them on
the back and tell what a good
job they did, giving them the
false idea that any hann they do
is all right and a good job. What
are we teaching our kids on the
court today? It's sad.

nothing. Why? Why should
they not have a park area to
play their baseball games on?
• Thinking of the new facility
at Garrett (site the old school)
they say the big field is not big
enough for high school baseball. The fences are only 200
feet down the left and right field
lines. But what a nice facility it
is .
• Can anyone understand the
Cincinnati Reds? Here they are
supposed to be cutting the overhead on salaries, but instead
they go out and bring in a player that has raised the ceiling
level.
The Reds traded for Mo
Vaughn (and he needs no introduction to baseball fans). He
cranked out 50 long balls last
year with the San Diego Padres.
The Reds gave up often injured,
often ill, and often absent

LAST YEAR'S EVENT: Wallace took
advantage of a controversial restart to

protests, NASCAR allowed the ragged
restart to stand.
FORMAT: The program consists of two
events. The field for the Shootout is
derived from 1998 pole winners. The
drivers who led second-round qualifying
in at least one event last year are
included in a preliminary race, with the
winner transferring into the Shootout.

HISTORY: This race has been held

as the Busch Clash until last year, when
the preliminary qualifying race and the
mandatory pit stops were added.

AFTER THE SHOOTOUT: Following the
two 25-lap races on Sunday, Daytona
will hold its annual 200-mile race for drivers from the Automobile Racing Club
of America (ARCA).
•• ••
NEW PROVISIONS
••
A minor NASCAR adjustment to the
rules governing provisional starting
spots will limit the ability of ex-Winston
C~p champions to make fields this year.:
An ex-champion - the category
includes Jeff Gordon, Terry Labonte,
Dale Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace, Bill
Elliott and Darrell Waltrip - now has his
potential uses of the provisional limited
for the first time. However, as long as
the driver's car owner remains among
the top 25 in the points standings, eight
such starts would not be counted
against his team.
The only way the rule will come into
play is if a driver, like Waltrip last year,
needs to use an excessive number of
provisionals to secure positions in starting fields.
Waltrip feels he should not need as
many because of an off-season change
that saw him move to a new Ford team
owned by Travis Carter.
PROFILE
RuSty Wallace
Dear NASCAR This Week,
In regard to (an carher question). you didn't answer why
Chrysler dropped out of racing.
I'd like to sec the answer
myself, to see if it's the same one
I've heard all these years - how
NASC.AR had to have a certain
bow-tic company involved in racmg m order to surv1ve and that it
would never let Chrysler dominate NASCAR again.
If this is the answer, do you
have the (guts) to say it? The only
way the ''bow tie" could be competitive is to change the rules to
fit them. The gas crunch was just
a way to do it at the time.

Rusty Wallace talks with crew member Jeff Thousand.
By Monte Dutton
NASCAR This Week
A year ago when Rusty
Wallace won the Bud
Shootout, it was symbolic of
the end of the veteran driver's
jinx at Daytona and Talladega,
NASCAR's fastest tracks.
Wallace went on to finish fifth
in both Winston Cup races at
Daytona International Speedway. His average finish was
12.25 at the tracks, which had
been his Achilles' heel.
He started 13th in last
year's Bud Shootout, ran up
front throughout and emerged
the winner, besting Jeff Gordon in a controversial restart.
Wallace turned in the
fastest speed during preseason testing at Daytona.
HOMETOWN: St. Louis,
Mo.
AGE: 42
WIFE: Patti
CHILDREN: Greg, Katie,
Stephen
CAR: No. 2 Miller Ute Ford
Taurus, owned by Penske
Racing South.
CAREER FIRSTS: Start
(March 16, 1980, at Atlanta),
pole (June 26, 1987, at Michigan), win (April 6, 1986, at
Bristol).
DESCRIBE YOUR STRATEGY FOR DAYTONA. "Our
goal is to return to Daytona
with two cars (one for the
Shootout, another for the 500)
that are identical. We're hoping to take them off the truck
and be able to run the same
speed with both of them. At
least that's the goal. It seems
like there's always one car
that's a tick faster or JUSt handles a wee bit better."
HOW DID YOU GET
YOUR PERFORMANCE
Wbo's not
WHO'S HOT?
Tim Beverley has
found a sponsor, Lucky
Dog prepaid phone cards,
for No. 45 and Rich Bickle.
WHO'S NOT?
Bill Elliott also has a sponsor
tor his No. 13 and driver Dick
Trickle, but it's only tor one
race.
TURNED AROUND AT DAYTONA? ''We finally have the
competitive equipment to get
the job done on the big
tracks. I've said all along that,
if we had the right stuff, we
could race with them. Well,
thanks to a lot of work by our
guys in finding the necessary
horsepower and thanks to
better aerodynamics, we have
what we need, and it's really
starting to pay off."
HOW DID YOU FEEL
WHEN DALE EARNHARDT
PUT HIS DAYTONA 500 JINX
TO REST LAST YEAR? "I
was so proud to see Dale win
the race last year because
he's been chasing that one for
so long. Well, finally, he
caught his big fish that kept
getting away, and now it's our
turn to get us a Daytona 500
win. That's what we're shooting for."

• Only one driver who

not. But he is a former

Fan fips
Daytona officials have built
grandstands and luxury
boxes on the back stretch.
As a means of marketing
the new seats and justifying the ticket pnces, we are
now asked to refer to that
part of the track as the
"superstretch." What's
super about it? The stands
may be new, but the track
is still the same.
AROUND THE GARAGE
FROM THE ARCHIVES:
The rich history of NASCAR
It was 20 years ago that on
the last lap of the Daytona
500, Cale Yarborough
duked it out with Donn1e
and Bobby Allison as a
national television audience viewed flag-to-flag
network coverage for the
first time. The fistfight, at
first considered an embarrassment, fueled a huge
surge in the popularity of
NASCAR. And as a result
of the last-lap acc1dent,
Richard Petty won the

Board members debate
policy already in effect
Memhers of the Magoffin County Board of
Education met January 21 and continued a discussion of the legal aspects of a board policy that
negates any action taken on a topic not included
on the agenda of a regular meeting.
A policy, already accepted by the board in
1997, states that during a regular board meeting,
"action will be taken on agenda times only.''
However, members of the audience or the
board can bring up a topic, not included on
the agenda. for discussion only.
A recommendation from the Kentucky
Board of Education said the board could take acuon on
a topic if it was deemed by board members to be an
emergency situation.
New policies from the state Department of
Education are expected to be completed in March, and
board attorney said the board could not wait for policies
to make a some decisions.
Board members approved a motion to transfer students of Magoffin Elementary to the Salyersville Grade
School beginning the 1999-2000 school year. The
motion was made on the assumption hat a previous
amendment to the current Facilities Plan is approved by
the Local Planning Commillee. - The Salyersrille

Soldier to be added to marker
nearly 30 years after death
Over 30 years ago, Lawrence County resident
Charles S. Jones went to Vietnam to serve his country
and never returned. His name can be found on the
Vietnam Wall in Washington, the monument in
Frankfort and in the Book of Vietnam Casualtie~. but
doesn't appear on the local monument to fallen soldiers
that stands on the Lawrence County Courthouse lawn.
The Lawrence County Fiscal Court Friday voted to
change that. Jones' name was not put on the monument
because when the fiscal court voted in 1985 to build the
monument they agreed it would be a tribute to servicemen "killed in active duty.''
Jones was not killed in action. He died of a heart
attack during physical training.
The fiscal court Friday voted to add Jones' name to
the monument. -- The Big Sandy News

cleanup
In his first month as Knott County's new
ecology officer, Roger Dale Hicks has deter·
mined two things - there is an enormous
problem with illegal garbage dumps in Knott
County. and most county residents arc eager to lind a
solution.
A report from the Kentucky River Area
Development District identified more than 40 illegal
dumps in Knott County. Hicks said most dumps start
with one bulk item, such as a refrigerator or an old mattress left on a site.
He said one solution to the garbage problem in
Knoll County is to establish a transfer station The station would not accept bags of garbage, but only the
larger items, and residents would not pay extra for the
service. - Th(' Troublesome Creek Times

There was sadness on earth on March 20. 1998.
but there was rejoicing in Heaven when Bud
Shepherd stoo<.l on top of Mt. Zion and was
wrapped in the Savior's embrace. He left a legacy
in the lives he impacted through his Christian
witness and the many songs he sang that will live
forever in the churches around Floyd County. He
was a devoted husband, a loving father, grand·
father, and great~grantlfather.

In Loving Memory of
Earl Brown
April 24, 1925 - February 6, 1998
My dearest Daddy,
It's been a year
since you left us to
live with God.
above,
Not a day goes by
that we don't remember your precious love.
Our hearts were
broken on that day,
But you wanted
so much for the
Angels to come and
take you away,
We knew when you left us our lives would forever
change,
Daddy, without you, things will never be the same.
You left nothing undone, nothing unsaid,
Little did we know,
But it helped us prepare for the days that lay ahead.
You taught us not to seek fortune and fame,
But to seek a home on high,
Which was surely the most important thing.
When we had problems and didn't know what to do,
Your advice was, put your trust in God,
He will surely see you through.
You were so special, so humble and kind,
Daddy, you are always on our mind.
Oh, how we miss you,
If we could only see your smiling face,
But, Daddy, we know you're in a better place.
So sleep on, Dear Daddy,
There will be no more pain,
You will always be in our hearts, and someday soon
We'll be together once again,
Where we will never have to part.
Written by Your Loving Daughter

Words can't really do this \\onderful woman justice.
She was like an angel sent to all of us to fill us with her
love, faith and spirit. Everyone who came in contact
with her loved her. Nothing could ever had been so
hurtful. than the day she left us. It was so fast and
sudden, with not much pain; but that was what she
deserved. because she didn't need to feel pain
anymore. I hope and pray she is with her Father,
looking down upon us.
She will never be forgotten. and there will always
be a void in our heart~.

We have just began a new year,
Living without you here.
Missing your kind, gentle smile,
Which we haven't seen in quiet awhile.
We know you are in a better place,
Giving the angels a touch ofgrace.
You are doing your best,
In your final place of rest.
Your life on earth was getting rough,
So you went on home-you'd had enough.
Heaven was in need ofyour precious love,
S o God sent forth a white dove; to carry you
home to your beautiful mansion in the sky.
We love and miss you very much.

"IF YOU COULD SEE WHERE I HAVE GONE"
(Author Unknown)
If you could ... where I have gone, the beauty of this place,
And how It fttll to know you're home, to see the Savior's face.
To wake In peace and know no fear, Just joy beyond compare,
While stiU on earth you miss me yet, you wouldn't want me there,
If you could ... where I haYt gone.
Christopher David Hayes
If you could see where I haYt gone, had made the bip with me,
September 3, 1970- August 9, 1998
You'd know I didn't go alone, the Savior came with me.
When I awoke, He was by my side, and reached down His hand,
Said, "Hurry now, You're going home to a grand
and glorious land."
"Don't worry over those you love, for I'm not Just with you,
And don't you know, with you st home,
they'll long to be here, too?
If you could see where I have gone,
and see what I've been shown,
You'd never know another tear, or ever feel alone.
You'd marvel at the care of God, His hand on every life,
And realize He really cares, and bears with us each strife.
And that He weeps when one Is lost, His heart is filled with pain,
But ohl the joy! when one comes home, a child at home again.
If you could see where I have gone, could stay with me awhile,
Could share the things that God has made to grace eternity.
But, no you couldn't ever leave, once Heaven's joy you'd known,
You couldn t bear to walk earth's paths,
once Heaven was your home.
If you could see where I have gone.
If you could see where I have gone,
you'd know we'll meet some day,
And though I'm parted from you now, that I am just away.
So, thank you, loved ones, thank you friends,
For living for the Lord,
And now that I'm st home with Him, secure in every way,
I'm waiting here at Heaven's door, to greet you some sweet day.

that he later suhmitted a ...ick leave
card on a signed aflida\ it and leave

"On Deccmhcr I 0, 1998 I questioned you about this incident. but

King "rote to Tuckett.
"Such a flagrant disn•gard of

EditorialIn re-electing him as majority leader of the Kentucky
House of Representatives, Greg Stumbo's colleagues have
given him some sound advice: Get along better with the
governor.
Gov. Paul Panon and Stumbo have the potential of giving Eastern Kentucky the most influential voice in Frankfort that this region has had -since the days of Gov. Bert
Combs.
But the majority leader from Prestonsburg has often
found himself on the opposite side of key issues supported
by the governor from
Pikeville. Instead of fellow Eastern Kentucky
Democrats working for
the common good, Patton and Stumbo have at
times sounded like bitter political enemies.
That needs to change. say Stumbo's Democratic colleagues in the House.
"Eastern Kentucky has a golden opportunity here." said
Rep. Rocky Adkins, D-Sandy Hook. the new chairman of
the Mountain Caucus, but in order for that opportunity to
be seized. Stumbo must cooperate with the governor.
Rep. Pete Worthington, D-Ewing. who abandoned a
campaign to unseat Stumbo as majority leader. warned: "If
he does not change some things. he will not be majority
t1oor leader much longer."
Patton and Stumbo first sparred over the governor's
plan to reform workers compensation, a proposal that hit
Stumbo - a lawyer who earned thousands of dollars annually from workers compensation cases- squarely in the
pocketbook. The animosity between the two Eastern Kentuckians increased when Stumbo led the opposition to Patton's higher educat1on reform bill.
At one point. the rivalry between Patton and Stumbo
was so intense that the majority leader promised to throw
his support to a strong Democrat who would challenge Patton for re-election. Fonner Gov. Brereton Jones was the
most likely candidate for Stumbo to endorse, but Jones has
since said he would not run. Indeed, with most of the leading candidates having withdrawn their names, it now
seems Patton is going to win a second tem1 rather easily.
That increases the need for Patton and Stumbo to patch
up their differences. To be most effective in pushing his
legislative agenda, a governor needs the support of his political party in the General Assembly. Worthington is tight:
Either Stumbo is going to have to learn to work with the
governor. or House Democrats will need a new noor
leader.
There is a great opportunity for this region to be heard
loud and clear in Frankfort. Don't let dueling egos and political in-fighting blow it. - The Daily Independent, Ashland

I
ly see a current and then only at times.
We cannot wait for the slow wheels of government to do something about the bottleneck Ill the
Bend of Beaver. We must get it cleared before the
spring flooding or we will have a catastrophic flood.
If some bank will handle the fund, I will pledge $100
(and even more if necessary) to conLract someone to
clear the Bend of Beaver. It is urgent that it be done
as soon as weather permits.
Some will say "We pay taxes. Let the county and
state do it.'' Nonnally. I would agree, but we do not
have time to \\ait for the slow wheels to tum. The
county is planning to do all it can, but they do not
have the manpower to do the job in time.
As an example of the slow wheel, FEMA allocated funds to clear the huge pile of garbage at the
bridge in Estill. To date, nothing has been done.
If you have never cleaned up after a flood (l
have), you can't imagine how bad it is. If nothing is
done in time. I am sure that businesses and homes
will be nooded that have never been flooded before.
No one hopes more than l do that I am wrong. but I
have lived on Right Beaver since 1942 and I have
seen all the flooding. and the situation looks worse
than ever before.
The flood waters in 1983 almost entered our
church. If another flood rises above the I 983 nood
level. it will enter our church unless we have time to
sandbag the doors. In 1963 there was no time to do
anything but get out. Our post office will also be
flooded, in addition to homes not normally flooded.
fhe huge pileup at the mouth of Jones Fork and
the Estill Bridge mu~t be cleared. I arn sure that there
are other places as bad that I do not know about. I do
not know the situation on Left Beaver, but I am sure
it is the same as Right Beaver.

There is a pn:ventablc disaster waiting to happen
on Right and Left Beaver Creeks. h will involve
Mattin and all the Beaver Creek flood plain.
Trees lie across and in the creeks. Multiple beaver
dams have slowed the creek flow almost to a l>tandstill. This has allowed huge pools of trash to accumulate which further slows the movement of water.
One of the most serious problems on R1ght
Beaver is the bottle-neck at the Bend of Beaver
below Hueysville. Piles of rubbish have accumulated from past flooding. Water cannot get away fast
enough to prevent flooding.
It will cause huge backups which will prevent the
~maller creeks from emptying out and possibly
cause flooding on the smaller creeks where it has not
flooded before.
The owner or the road into the Bend of Beaver
will grant <JCCe!->s so that the trash can be hauled out.
It ''ill have to be graveled by the county.
Because of a disastrou~ flood in 1963, then-Rep.
Carl Perkins brought in the Army Corps of Engineers to clear Right and Left Beaver. As l remember
it. the creeks now are worse than they were in 1963
The clearance by the Corps allowed the water to
!low out more qu1ckly and prevented llooding for a
long time. I was told that the county was to keep the
creeks clean. but nothing was done.
The beaver dam~ that are clogging the creeks are
a work of art, but they are not essential to survival of
the beaver. They must be taken out and the material
to rebuild them removed. I have been told that they
can and do rebuild them over night. Flood water has
to be S\\ ift und strong to wash them out and then it
is usually only the top of the dam that is washed out.
There is a beaver dam at the mouth of Salt Lick
less than <I mile lrom my home. The water behind
our house is about a foot higher than it used to be.
The water appears to be at a standstill. You can bare-

I'm sure you've been to a used bookstore.
No? Well, get out to one soon.
You can't go looking for a certain book or
even a certain kind of book. You have to be
pleased with what you find. One thing that
will capture your attention is the price. Compared to publishers' prices, used book dealers
practically give the books away.
Even if you don't find a thing, think about
all the fun you'll have dusting off all those
books and remembering when they were
"the rage."
In our area the bookstore ts Words and
Stuff at Van Lear. It also has new books, a
nice collection of local writers. plus a lot of
things that would make wonderful gifts.
As an added
bonus after you
have found the
books you want,
you can drive up
and see Loretta
Lynn's home. I
drove up to her
house and said,
''What's Loretta
bragging about? A Jot of us were brought up
in a house like that."
I suppose her answer would be. ''Yes, but
I am famous and you are not." True.
If you have a computer, one of the best
deals that I have found is at Comp USA computer store. I was drawn there by a recent advertisement for a computer version of World
Book Encyclopedia. The ad said, ··Every article from the World Book Encyclopedia."
Price $30 with a $30 rebate.
I got one. Yes. I had to pay sales tax on
$30. which, if my math is right, 1s $1.80.
That is the best bargain I have made since
I bought over $600 worth of books at a flea
market up at the KY 80/680 intersection just
above Duff Elementary School (and yes.
Bomta Compton and faculty, AJien Central
Middle School) for $3, and the lady gave me
the box to carry the books home.
l've not read all of them yet. but 1 plan to.
Linda says something has to go - some
books and other junk, she calls it. or me. All
my stuff is junk, but her things are treasures.
Such is life.
The s,ame Comp USA ad (on the same
page) had a CD version of the Cadillac of encyclopedias - Encyclopedia Britannica for
$99.99. (Why don't they just say $100?). l
didn't get that, but it is a bargain.
Price a set of lhe printed version of these
babies, and your first reaction will be something like, "I guess I'll just stay ignorant.''
Just across the street from Comp USA is
Best Buy. It had a few bargains too. A 40pack ofMemorex 3.5" disks for $12.99 with
a $12 rebate. 1got that also. On the same day
there was a Digital Research Windows keyboard for $11.99 with a $11 rebate. They
were out of that one, but I will get them the
next trip.
Of course, the buyer has to \\ ait on the rebate. I'm good at waiting, as long as the little checks eventually roll in. Then I take
them and buy more things that have rebates.
When they see me coming at these stores,
they say, "Here comes the rebate man.''ljust
laugh and calculate my savings. Oh, I know
eventually they get my money for some
other products. but 1 feel good about my bargains. so we arc all winners. TI1at is the way
the world of commerce works. and I run
doing my part.
I have received rebates on practically
everything from underwear to exhaust pipes
for my Toyota truck. The key 1s to use rebates.
If you buy something because it has a $50
rebate and then get home nnd don't take advantage of it. you are doing what manufactures hope for and most often get. They get
your money and you get no rebate.
Soon as you get home, get that stuff together and mail it. The money you save can
be spent on more junk that we know is uscless but hang on to as if it were priceless.

The board approved the creauon
of an ittnerant teaching posllion in
the area of special education.
Because of enrollment increases
and program changes at Osborne
Elementary and Prestonsburg High
schools, two teachers were transferred from nanerant instructors at
Adams Middle and Prestonsburg
High to full-time at Prestonsburg
and from full-time at Clark
Elementary to lull-time at Osborne
Elementary.
According to hoard notes, the
transfer to Prestonsburg will better
allow for meetmg the needs of students identified with emotional·
behavior disorder~ and will reduce
both time spent in transportation
and transportation cost.
Special needs services at Adams
Middle and Clark Elementary can
be maintained by one teacher serving half time at both schools, the
printed explanation said.
The board approved a request
for shortened days for spec1al needs
students at South Floyd H1gh,
Betsy Layne High. and Duff
Elementary. These requests were
for students identified under
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973. In each case the decision was to be supported by a written recommendatiOn from the student's physic1an.
The board approved the usc llf
the gymnasium at Opportunities
Unlimited School campus (old
Martin Elementary) by the Duff
Junior Pro Basketball Association,
which is part of the foloyd County
Junior Pro League.
The league ts to provtde a certificate of insurance naming the
board of education as an addittonal
msured for $1 m1lhon. as required.
The rental fcc, in the past, has been
waived because of children participation. Janitorial servtces will be
done by the league.
Dexter Conley, president of the
Duff group, was on hand to answer
questions, and he left a copy of his
by-laws for Stumbo who had
requested the material to study.
The scheduling of games for the
league will be approved by
Principal Ernie Tackett.
The
action
item
to
discuss/approve an additional position for an occupational therapist
was pulled at State Manager
Woodrow Carter's request. Carter
said some board members had
questions about the cost of the program. He requested more time to
study the matter and get back With
the board.
Transportation d1rector Jody
Sword gave a report prepared by
the School Boundane~ and
Transportation Committee. Sword
said the commlltee was made up of
two elementary principals, two
. htgh school princtpals, three
employees from the transportation
department. two parcnllcommunity
people,
two
Floyd County
Education Association members
and three central oflice employees.
Sword saJd the committee chose
five criteria to study the transporta-
tion problem. These include (I) dis·
tance from school. (2) capacity of
schools - facility-driven capacity
and program-driven capacity, (3)
travel time, (4) borders with another county, and (5) tradition.
Sword had a outline of the county with transJ>ortation information
about four areas: Betsy Layne,
South Floyd, Allen Central and
Prestonsburg. He used colored
yam to show where students came
from to attend each school.
Sword said the transportation for
special needs students was a mate.
He said there were 19 routes, I 09
students, and 16 umts. He said his
department is trying to "get
smarter" in scheduling these runs.
Sword added that three buses go
to the Magoffin County line. He
said he was not aware of this until
the committee did its work.
Board member Stumbo wanted
to know why these students were
traveling out of district. Sword said
his committee did not have an
answer to that question and would
have to do "extensive surveys" to
find out.
To illustrate how students are
traveling out of district, Sword
cited the number of students who
go to Prestonsburg from another
district: 25 from Martin, three from
Hippo, and one from Betsy Layne.
Board member Johnnie Ross
wanted to know what was the
longest wait and the longest ride.
Again, Sword said his committee
would need to do more surveys to
answer these questions, adding his
committee would collect the information the board requested.
He used Allen Central as an
example, saying students from all
sections of the county apparently
attend Allen Central. Connie
Gearheart, who was in the audience, suggested that one reason for
this might be P..llen Central's
Functional Mental Disability unit.
Carter asked the board to move
on the transportation 1ssue as soon
as possible so the system would be
ready for the next school year.
Stumbo sa1d, if the system sets
attendance boundaries, "I want to
know how much it is costing us."
Stumbo said she did not want to
take chotec away from parents
unless it places a financial burden
on the system. She said if it proves
to be a burden, she would consider
adopting such boundaries.
The report for Betsy Layne
Elementary. which was on at least
one of the three agendas. will be
g1ven when the board has it regular
meeting at that site.
Carter assured the board that
Pete Grigsby had provided all the
data necessary for application for
funding for the Family Resource
Youth Service Centers (FRYSC) in
the county. He pointed out that this
is an annual requirement and each
year the application calls for the
same kind of informauon.
The board had a lengthy executive session where litigation, property and expulsion hearings were to
be discussed.

"We tried to make two calls; one
was routed to the police station,"
Collins said.
He was put on hold for IS minutes when his second call went
through, the council member
reported.
Both Collinscs expressed concern about a recent rate increase at
Cablcvision, implying that the rates
were raised because the city council
didn't cooperate with the cable
company.
"We were told it would cost us
extra money if we didn't (approve
the transfer)," Bill R. Collins said.
"They told us they had no plans for
rate increases, We've had two
increases in four months. I would
like to sec (the company's representative) come before the full council."
He said the company had added
five channels to its lineup and doubled the price.
''Why do we have to kiss somebody's butt in West Virginia and let
them raise these people's rates ...
It's the same thing on gasoline
prices. One is a big monopoly.
Pnccs go down when there is competition ... I'm tired of this," he said.
"When they come in here and lay
down the law I don't have to vote
for it."
Gormon Collins questioned the
cost of adding the channels to the
lineup.

Council member Hansel Cooley
said the council was "doing stuff
here that needs to be done at that
committee. They think they can
hold them to the post by holding
th1s motion."
He abstained from the vote.
Bill R. Collins and Gormon
Collins voted no.
"We showed that we were trying
to get along. They changed the
hours. That broke the contract. We
didn't throw them out in the street.
Why arc we breaking our backs for
this guy? Why are we busting our
hump for him when he's not busting
his hump for us .. If they say jump

A contract is a contract," he said.
Council members Robert AIJen,

voted yes and the motion passed by
majority vote.

Council
member
Danny
Hamilton sa1d that "everything is
going up," such as the cost of labor
and wiring.
Mayor Fannin said he had
looked at the serv1ces and rates of
other cable companies, and
CableVision's was 10 line with
those. He also told council members that they didn't have the
authority to tell Cable Vision what
to charge for its services.
Gormon Collins explained that
the FCC directs cable companies to
abide by regulations and sets a cap
on prices.
"We wouldn't have said 'No,
you can't have rate increases.'
That's not what we're here for,"
Collins said. 'They said they' ll give
people certain things in this contract
and I think they should do it."
Prestonsburg
Mayor Jerry
Fannin suggested that council members put the matter in the hands of
the city's attorney to work out the
issue, but Gormon Collins said he
had "a problem" with taking it out
of the committee's hands.
At the recommendation of council member Trent Nairn, council
members agreed to have Burchett
write a letter to the cable company
and notify them they have 30 days
to comply with the terms of their
contract or the contract will be void.
Council members kept debating,

go out. The advancement as essentially an mterest-free loan to maintain the sheriff's office until taxes
are again due.
Related to this resolution. the tiscal court approved a special bond
through Western Surety Company
to guarantee repayment of the
advancement.
Assuring the transition of
receipts from the f0rn1er shenff to
the present one, the court also
approved a securities pledge from
First Commonwealth Bank of $3
million as collateral from now unttl
the next property tax collection
period, at whrch time the securities
pledge wrll go to $5 million.
Thompson, the former sheriff,
said he has to mamtain $2 million
for pay out to the taxing districts. As
Thompson clears his account,
Blackburn's bond will go up.
Thompson said the shcnff's office
had already collected some $5 million 10 taxes before he moved to the
judge-executive posl.
First Commonwealth pledged
securities as collateral through
Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal
Fnrm Credit Bank, and Federal
National Mortgage Association.
Thompson nlso presented a resolution. which was approved by the
commissioners, to allocate $59,250
in county funds to the sheriff's
office "to start out his office." The
judge-executive said the bulk of
taxes have come m for the year and
that the point has been reached
when "money is slow coming in"
for operation of the county law
enforcement office.
He further explained that most of
the grants the sheriff's office
receives are on a reimbursement
basis. That ts, prOJeCt money has to
be spent and receipts turned in
before the grant payment as forthcoming.
The new judge-executive further
pointed out that the county will be
receiving, artcr bills, another
$70.000 or so from collections during his administration.
The allocation to Sheriff
Blackburn's office, Thompson said.
would come through payment of
bills and payroll.
The sheriff also requested that
the fiscal court approve his budget
of $684,550 for 1999. The judgeexecutive and commissioners gave
the go-ahead to the following summarized income and expenditures:
• Income: Commission on taxes,
$225,000; delinquent tax commission, $28,000; community policing,
$128,000; subpoenas, summons and
auto inspections, $32.500; state fees
and court baihffs, $124,800; sheriff's fees and miscellaneous
income, $6,000; federal grants,
$81,000: county contributions,
$59,250.
• Expenses: Salaries, $590.000:
auto expenses, $39,000; office supplies, $2,000; uniforms, $2,750;
unemployment insurance, $5,250;
FICA match, $44,350; postage,
$1,200.
Finally, the fiscal court set the
number of deputies at 25, at
Blackburn's request. Thompson
pointed out that the deputies'
salaries come from the sheriff's
budget and not from the fiscal court.
·'If he can pay them, he's welcome
to have them," the judge-executive
said.
In other business, the fiscal court
rescinded a resolution adopted by
the previous court on Dec. 18 to
authorize the sale of surplus equipment and vehicles. A new resolution

ffiy---(Conlinued from page one)
The governor said his entire cabinet will become members of the
new "Appalachian Action Team."
Patton, a fom1er judge-executive
in Pike County, mentioned several
econom1c development initiatives
during the past several years that
have helped recruit jobs in Eastern
Kentucky. One was the East
Kentucky Corporation, a statesponsored economic development
organization that assists 43 counties
in attracting businesses.
An annual report released at
Monday's meeting said the group
has helped land 15 new businesses
in the service area. creatmg 2,600
new jobs in the region.
Other initiatives and programs
cited by Patton as helping the
region's economy were:
• The Kentucky Education
Reform Act, which the governor
said was "the most important thing
to happen to Eastern Kentucky,"
because it ha~ an absolute obligation to treat everyone equal."
• The Kentucky Rural Economic
Development Act, which allocates
coal-severance tax revenue to create regional industrial parks. Such a
park is being undertaken by
Johnson, Martin, Floyd and Pike
counties near the Big Sandy
Regional Airport in Martin County.
• The state law that eventually
will return 50 percent of coal-severance tax money to coal-producing
counties. Currently, 38 percent of
the tax is being returned to tho:;e
counties, Pauon said.
Workers'
compensation
reform. which he said was "an
absolutely vital element" in
improving economic development.
• Health care reform, which he
said would keep "more of our
health care dollars here in
Appalachia."
Patton said Eastern Kentucky
has also benefited from the new
leadership in the General Assembly,
noting that state Senators Walter
Blevins of West Liberty, Gary
Johnson of Pikeville and Benny
Ray Bailey of Hindman, have
acquired high-ranking positions.
Bailey. who Tepresents Johnson
County in the Senate, was just
renamed chairman of the Senate
Appropriations
and
Revenue
Committee.
Patton, who is seeking re-election this year but so far has no
opponent. began his speech on a
political note, saying he was glad
that Kentucky voters approved
gubernatorial succession a few
years ago.
"If we could just keep Mike
Duncan sitting on his hands for
another two weeks.. .J'll feel real
good,'' Patton said, referring to the
January 26 filing deadline.
Duncan, an Inez Republican
who had considered running for
governor, announced during the
Christmas holiday that he would
not be a candidate. Duncan, president of Inez Deposit Bank and
immediate past chairman of the
East Kentucky Corporation, was
seated at the head table during
Monday's meeting.

The win snapped a three-game losing streak as the Cats
improved to 5-6 overall. It was the second straight overtime
game for the Blackcats. They fell in double overtime to
South Floyd in a previous game.
The two teams played to a 49-49 tic through the first four
periods. The game was tied again at 51 when Prestonsburg
went up 54-51 on an Ortega three-point basket.
D.J. Sims drained a three-point basket with over a minute

winning streak come to u disap~inting end with a 51-44 setback
r"'/to district rival Allen Central.

Kimi Nunnery scoring five points
each. Sophomore center Amelia
Conley finished with just four
points.
It was the inside game that was
missing for Prestonsburg as AIJen

things: ll kept the balJ from getting
in the paint area to Conley or
Coleman and, with it extended to
the three-point arch. Prestonsburg
did not have many good looks at
the basket from the circle. The

basket for a 50-41 advantage.
Nunnery sank a trey off the left
side for a six-point game but that
was as close as Prestonsburg could
come in the final seconds of the
game.
Prestonsburg's lone lead came
in the first quarter when they hit
the first shot of the contest, a layup
by Nunnery, and led 2-0. The game
was tied at 2, and it was all Allen
Central as they raced out to an 11 4 lead after the first quarter.
Jennifer Risner led the Allen

the shonest player on the floor.
She had a block shot, a steal, a
rebound basket and two assists in
the first eight minutes of the game.

quarter gave the Lady Rebels their
first double figure lead at 22-11 .
She then drilled a long three-point
basket for a 25-13 game. Allen
Central led 25-17 at the half.
Prestonsburg went almost four
minutes before they scored in the
third period, but they had their
shots underneath. Cooley took a
rebound coast-to-coast for a lay-in
and was fouled on the play. She
sank the free throw, and later
Howell grabbed a rebound and
stuck it back in as Allen Central
began to put distance between
them and Prestonsburg, 34-19.
Four Allen Central turnovers,
consecutively,
allowed
Prestonsburg to get back in the
game. Coleman had two free
throws and a basket and Wells
drilled a trey for a 34-28 game. But
baskets by Martin and Cooley gave
Allen Central a 38-28 lead after
three quarters. Cooley pulled a text
book play on how to follow a
missed shot. She launched a 14footer that came off. In one
motion, she rebounded the missed
shot and laid it in just ahead of the
hom.
Megan Hyden, who played but
did not score, had five assists for
Prestonsburg. Another freshman,
Beth Combs, had six assists for the
Lady Rebels.

Hoop Scoops
H) Clurk Francis
has too much of a scorers' mentality to be a pure point guard and he is
too ~mall by normal standards to be
a 2-gunrd at the next le\ el. But it
doesn't maHer. because he's an
assassin who seems to make all the
big plays when the opposing team
tries to make a run As a result, he
may move into our top livc nationally next time we update our rankings.
Our Philadelphia Area editor
Allen Rubin questioned before the
tournament whether Barrett was big
and ... trong enough to play in the Big
East. But not any more! Burrell had
13 poinh, 13 assists, lh c steals, and
eight rebounds in the lirst gmnt• of
the tournament and got even better
after that, as he Jed his team to the
championship en route to \1VP
honors. Barrett, who told us that ht-;
early list of schools includes
S)r<tcuse. St. John's. Seton Hall.
South Carolina. UCLA, and
VJIIano\a, is a great defender.
makes excellent decisions. and has
Jet-like speed and quickness. He
also i:; a winner, excellent student,
und a great kid. All this explains
why he ranks among the top 15
juniors nationally by the IIOOP
SCOOP.
Also, at Slam Dunk to the Beach
was one of the biggest . lecpcrs in
the nation in 6'9 R) an Randle from
Duncanville (H.S.) TX. who before
the tournament was r:mked #775
among seniors nationally by the
HOOP SCOOP. After watching him
three times last week, there is no
doubt that he ha~ top 100 potenti:tl
nationally. He was named to thl· alltournament team, because he got
better nnd better in each game.
Randle has a great body, lots of athleticism, excellent hands, lots of
mobility, and nice touch around the
ha,ket, which includes an excellent
hook shot. However, his grade~
appear to be a question mark, so
junior college may be in his future.
Who is better 6'4 Joe Forte from
Hyattwille (DeMatha) MD 01 the
sleeper
from
Washington
(Coolidge) DC- 6'7 Omar Weaver,
who we mentioned in our last column? That's a great question, but
we're definitely talkmg about two
players who are good enough to be
named to the McDonald's AllAmerican Game. Weaver. v.ho ~~
~ilky smooth. is a lights-out 3-pOJnt
shooter with great athleticism.
excellent passing skills. and deep
shooting range.
John Reinke, who publishes the
Florida based Pony Taib Scouting
Service, told us in Ft. Myer before
Christmas that 6'3 Frosh Antomo
Lawrence
from
Jacksonville
(Wolfson) FL is the best freshman
111 America. And he might be right,
bl'cause we saw Lawrence go for 33
points in the opening round of the
Fifth Third Bank Holiday Classic
against Louisville (Ballard) KY.
Lawrence remind-. u-. of former
Ohio St.:tc All-American Jimmy
Jadson. but he's not as strong a!>
Jackson and he shoots it better than
Jackson at the same stage.
One of the bigge t sleepers out
west in the 22nd Annual Recbok
Holiday Prep Classic in L:h Vegas,
t>JV was 6'4 Willie Jackson from
rresno (Edison) CA. who according
to Jol!! Francisco, editor and publisher of Southern California's
Finest Scouting Sen ice was one of
the top five players in the tournament. Not only did he impress
everybody with his cxplo'i' eness
and ability to Luke you off the dribble, but he was almost unstoppable
with 39 poinh againo,t Santa Ana
(Mater Dei) CA. which is regarded
as one of the best defensive teams
on the West Coast
Rising to the top of the junior
class in Southern California in the
Best of the West Tournament after
Christmas at Lakewood (Arte~ia)
CA were 6'8 Jr. Tre\on Bryant from
Long Beach (Jordan) CA and 5'8 Jr.
Wesley Stokes from Long Beach
(Poly) CA. Another great freshman
who impressed ewrybody at this
tournament was 6' 6 Charles
Rodriguez from Fresno (Clovis
West) CA. who reminds for.1ncisco
of a young Shane Battier.
The biggest ~enior sleepers at the
Be't of the West Tournament were
6'1 Marlon Palmer from Los
Angeles (Verbum Dei) CA. who
had 32 points and six as)oists in the
~>emi-finals
against Lakewood
(Artesia) CA. and 6'8 Gabriel
Hughes from Torrance (Bishop
Montgomery) CA. Francisco, who
now ranks Palmer among his top I0
in Southern California, 'ay:- he has
icc in his veins and describes him as
a scoring point guard.
Talk about untapped potential,
Hughes has an incredible upside,
because he has tremendous athleticism, good hands. quick feet. and is
much more aggressive than his
older brother Solomon Hughes.
The big key may be whether
somebody 'pends the time to teach
him the offenshe skills necessary
and whether he bulks up enough to
be successful at the next level. As a
re~ult, a year of prep school v.ill
likely be his ne).t stop.

perimeter and shoot 3-pointers. In
Delaware he teased u ..everaltimes
with an earth shattering dunk, but
otherwi'e he was soft and not even
a factor inside, a' was evident b)
only three rebounds when his is
team lo~t for the third time in a row
in the Sl'vcnth place game.
How bad was Render? If we
called him a Big Dog. somebody
might get confused and think we're
making a Glen Robinson compari-.on. lnstc.•d. we'll compare Bender
to u failing •>lock - now might be a
good ttmc to ell before hi" value
hits rock bottom. As a result. if
somebody doesn' t light a lire under
hi' tail, it may cost him a lot of
monl'Y someday.
Also not playing well at Slam
Dunk to the Beach were 6' 3
Jamison Brewer from Kensington
(Newp011 Prep) ~10. 6'0 Edward
Scott from Hopkins (Lower
Richland) SC. and 6'7 Victor
Samnick
from
Kensington
(Newport Prep) ~10 . Scott and
Samnick both ha\ c to drop dramatically. but Brewer may have an
excuse. because he was playing out
of position (he's really point guard)
and never seemed to get into the
flow. except for the second half
against Redondo Union (Redondo
Beach) CA when he scored 17
point...
Abo dropping like a rod: is 6'7
Jr. TJ . Cummings from Rossmoor
(Homewood-I·Jo,smoor) IL. who
still has trl•mendous potential, but
doesn't dominate at the high school
level like one of the top JUniors in
the nation should. But perhaps the
most overrated player we've seen
all winter is 6' II Jr. Chns
Alexander from Harvey (Thornton)
IL, "ho has been ranked among the
top I0 juniors in the state of Illinois
by severn! scouting sen ice~. But he
can get )OU fired at the mid-major
level - when we saw him against
Chicago Heights (Bloom Township)
IL, he wus not only soft, but almost
non· existent.

A - Ninety-five pcrt:cnt of
my bites on a jig come when
the bait is falling. Now we all
Jove the times when the line
jumps six inches as it falls or ll
comes S\\-imming hack at you
about as fast as you pitched it
in. But most of the time the
bite isn't that dramatic.
Most of the bites on a jig
come on or around cover. 1l1c
fish are usually suspended on
logs. bush,
the cover
stumps. etc. Many time,., the
fish simply suck the bait up as
it falls in front of them and
never moves. This is when it is
really hard to detect the strike.
When in competition. I
always say if something doesn't feel right. jerk it. But "'hen
I'm out fun fishing. I'm not as
aggressive. A little trick I use
may help. The moment I start
to pick the jig up after it falls
through the water is very critical. If the jig is hca-.). hut
doesn't move. I simpl) pause
for three or four seconds while
keeping slight pressure on the
line, if T feel any movement at
all. Bam! Set the hook hard,
it's show lime!
A sensitive graphite rod and
line watching are also very
important. 1 always fish a jig
on a line that you can sec. clear
or florescent.
Until next time, good fishing!

More Than A Patriot
Even though most people know him as a patriot from the Revolutionary
War, he was also very good at working with silver.
Paul Revere was born January 1, 1735, in Boston, Massachusetts. On April 18,
1775, he rode from Charlestown to Lexington to warn the people living there
that the British troops were on the way.
He became a legendary hero at the start of the Revolutionary War. And in 1863,
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote a poem about the ride, "Paul Revere's
Ride."
Along with his famous ride, Revere was a leader of the Sons of Liberty and was
involved in a number of patriot activities, including the Boston Tea Party in 1773.
Alaska celebrates its 40th anniversary. On January 3, 1959, Alaska became the 49th
• state of the United States. T~e land was purchased from Russia
for $7.2 million in 1867.
Alaska is the largest state in area, but it is
among the smallest when you count the
number of people who live there. It is bordered on the north by the Arctic Ocean, on
the east by the Yukon Territory and on
the southeast by British Columbia. On
the south, Alaska is bordered by the Gulf of Alaska
and Pacific Ocean and on
wthe west is the Bering Sea,
Bering Strait and the
Chukchi Sea.
Revere used his work as a silversmith to promote the cause of freedom . For
instance, he carved a picture of the Boston Massacre. He was also responsible
for providing the patriots with ammunition for guns and cannons. And he
designed and printed the first Continental money.
After the war, Revere became one of New England's leading silversmiths. He
also was a pioneer in the production of copper plating in America.
WHICH TWO ARE EXACTLY ALIJ<Ef
Little Diomede Island, which is part of
Alaska and in the Bering Strait, is only 2.5
miles from the Soviet Union's Big Diomede
Island.

We received scveml pieces
of mail from our readers in 1998
regarding old-time cures and

run in your paper. call the publisher and complain. mildly of

you good and help you, too. Just

a mixture of black pepper and
water, sweetened with honey.
-Ruth Penix. Tomahawk.
• To stop minor bleeding, fill
the wound with fireplace soot.
-Pauline Vaughan. Dwale.
"'***
Since. by nature, we're a
superstitious lot, I thought it
might be fun to share what folk.-.
thought about that particular
subject, too.
• If you catch a falling leaf
before it hits the ground. you
will receive a letter. -Alberta
Blevins, Hager Hill.
• If you sweep your house
after sunset, you 'II sweep your
wealth away. -Mrs. M. L.
Gambill. Paintsnlle

bad luck. -Arlene Skaggs. Rat

Local Rotary Club starts the
new year by participating in
the Tournament
of Roses Parade
Members of the Rotary Club of
Prestonsburg were up early on New
Year's Day to watch the
Toumament of Roses Parade. Their
attention was centered on the float,
titled Service Is Timeless, because
they contributed money to place
the float in the 1999 parade.
The Rotary float celebrates the
object of Rotary. The Object of
Rotary can be considered the foundation stone on which the Rotary
house is built.
This brief statement, 106 words
in its current form, is a key element
of the Rotary International
Constitution. It states the essential
purpose of the organization-"to
encourage and foster the ideal of
service as a basis of worthy enterprise"-and then lists four areas by
which this "ideal of service'' can be
fostered.
They are: through the development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; the promotion of
high ethical standards in business
and professions; through service in
one's personal, business and ~om
munity life; and the advancement
of international understanding,
goodwill and peace.
Sponsoring a float in the parade
to celebrate their participation in
this unique international program is
just a small part of what the members of the Rotary Club of
Prestonsburg do each year. They
have a tradition of community service.
The local rotary, which formed
here in 1986, has contributed to
numerous endeavors, including a
scholarship program for local high
school students.

Things to Ponder
For several months, the negative
impact of substance ahuse in our
lives has been discw.sed. We ha\e
explored the diffic:ullics of
teenagers who get high instead of
getting an education. 1ltc spouse
abuse shelter told us that men abus·
itti ing alcohol and other substances
apparently saw nothing wrong with
hitting their spouses, the mothers of
their children, to the point that the
women had to leave home. We all
know a wife who finally says,
''After 30 years of living .,.. ith an
alcoholic. I give up." Then he
responds, "Don't go. I reall) will
try-this time." Although society
does not want to suppon the ob\ ious addictions to alcohol. illegal
drugs, and gambling, addictions to
cigarettes. food. coffee. sports, pain
killers, "nerve pills," work and sex
arc more readily accepted.

Millions of

our neighbor~ are either addicted to
chemicals today or may have spent
year" trying to free themselves from
this vicious trap. Addiction is a
complex disease that involves both
behavior and biology. It is the
chemical roller coaster ride our nervous system takes as a result of
addiction to a desire to feel good
and to avoid consequences. We all
have self rewarding neuronsreward centers-- within our nervous
:-ystems that increase the likelihood
of our continuing a needed behavior. They reward us for all kinds of
things from eating a good meal, to
doing a good job, to making a
friend. They regulate our social
behavior in public. Thus, the understanding is that when the addictive
c:hemical is taken in. most or all of
these reward centers in the brain are
-;ct off at once in a way that was
never designed by Mother Nature.

Number of mining deaths declines in 1998
Accidental deaths at mines in the
United States declined by 12 percent last year. according to preliminary data from the U.S. Depar.unent
of Labor's Mine Safe!) and 1-lealth
Admini~tration (MSHA). Eighty
miners died from work-related
injuries in 1998. compared to 91 in
1997.
·These deaths represent a very
real traged) to the families and
friends of the 80 miners who lost
their lives last year," said J. Davin
McAteer. assistant !'.eCretar) of
labor for mine safety and health.
"Hopefully. we will learn from
these accidents and will prevent
future ones, because the loss of
even one miner's life is far too
many.·•
Last year had the fewest miningrelated fatalities. based on records
dating back to 1869. The previous
low was achieved in 1994. when 85
miners died on the job.
In the nation's coal mines. preliminary tigures indicated fewer
deaths occurred for the third consecutive year. with 29 fatalitiel' in
1998. down from 30 in 1997. and
39 in 1996.
Deaths in the metal and nonmetal sector-although dropping
from 61 in 1997 to 51 in 1998-are
still too high, noted McAteer.
..It became clear to this agency
last year that we needed to devote
even greater resources to combat
the ri!;e in metal and nonmetal mining fatalitie!'i," said McAteer.
'Those efforts appear to be helping.
with I 0 fewer death!> in 1998.
However," he added, "there's still
much work to be done. and there are
additional concerns that we must
address
"Our efforts along with the
efforts of union~ <md working miners as well as company officials
have contributed to this successful
undertaking. but those efforts need
to be increased in order to reach our
common goal of a fatality-free mining industry," McAteer said.
Those additional concerns
revolve around last year's passage
of a $217 billion highway construction bill. which will likely prompt
increased demand for crushed stom:
used in building new roads." This
means a surge in jobs, many going
to new. inexperienced miners." said
McAt('Cr. "We must en~ure that
each of these new miners receives
the training he or she deserve~ to
recognize hazards and avoid accidents. The agency is currently
working on ne\\ regulations for
training:·
Of the 5 I metal and nonmetal
mining fatalities during 1998, 21
involved powered haulage equipment. still the leading cause of fatal
injuries in the mining industry, but
down from 24 in 1997. Slips and
falh. of a person. the second highest
category of fatal accidents, claimed
the lives of eight metal and nonmetal miners thts year. Eight of the
year's fatalities occurred at underground mine~; while 43 happened at
surface mine~.
Texas had the most metal and
nonmetal mining fatalittes for tho:
~econd consecutive vear. with five.
down t'rom six in 1997.
or the 29 coal mining fatalitic'
that occurred in 1998. 13 \\ere the
result of roof falls. the leading
cause of fatal coal mining accidents. Eight other deaths occurred
due to powered haulage accidents.
Twenty-two of the fatal coal mimng
accidents occurred at underground
mines, while seven happened at surface mines.
The highest number of fatal (oal
mining accidents occurred in
Kentucky, which had 12 deaths. up
from five in 1997. West Virginia
and Virginia had the next highest
number of fatal coal mining accidents with six and five, respectively. during 1998. West Virginia's
1998 figures represented a slight
decreal.e from 7 coal mining deaths
in 1997, while Virginia's remained
the !'>ame.
"Naturally. we are pleased that
the number of coal mining deaths
continues to decline and that the last
three years have represented record
lows. but we are by no means going
to become complacent,'' o;aid
McAteer. "\1SHA will continue in
its efforts to prevent miner,:; from
suffering fatal injuries and. ultimately. to eliminate fatal accidents
altogether."
MSHA inspects all mining operations in the nation for adherence to
federal safety and health regulations.

School at work program
available for food service
Officials at the Kentucky
Department of Adult Education and
Literacy (KDAEL) ha\'C announced
the continuation and expansion of
the innovative School at Work
(SAWJ program during 1999. SAW
provides bas1c math training to food
service workers at their work place.
Hospitality Television (HTV),
KET. and Jefferson Community
College (JCC> will team up to make
SAW a reality in 1999. Classes an~
a combination of video and workhook sessions. combined with a live
interactl\'e KET broadcast, allowing students to interact with an
instructor.
The 1999 program will expand
the number of SAW sites, ctfnccntrating on Bowling Green.
Covington, Lexington. Louisville.
Maysville, Paducah, Richmond.
and Pike and Floyd counties m eastern Kentucky. More than 900
employees are expected tu participate.
'Thb grant allow us to offer a
great pwgrt~m to virtually any interested food ser. IL'C organization in
Kentucky;· said Lynn Fi~cher, HTV
president. ··.Essentially this program
allows employees to improve their
lives. in and outside of work."
Money from the KDAEL will
pay for course material' and w1ll
cover lahor cost~ for employee~
who complete the program. While
there arc no costs for employers to
participate in SAW, there arc significant bcnelih.
Red Lobster was a strong participant in the 1998 program and will
retum for Phao.;e 2 in 1999. Steve
Muhlbaum, general manager of
Red Lobster on Hreckrinridge Lane
in Loui ... ville, saw resuJts in his
employees after Phase I in 1998.
··we saw an almost immediate
improvement in U\ing math skills in
the workplace. Math is everywhere
in our business, from weighing
l.hrimp to customers' checks,"
Muhlbaum !>aid.
Offering the SAW program
gives employers a competitive
ad\ antage over places that do not
offer adult education at the work
site. The types of benefits offered
by an employer can make all the
difference in recruiting employee~
and reducing turnover in today's
job market.
"A program like this offers a
benefit to the team that helps convince them to stay \\ ith tJ:o.. instead
of heading to the restaurant across
the street," said Muhlbaum.
··we are excited about continuing the program. Now we are working with food service companies to
re(.:ruit participants." Fischer !)aid.
Due to the success of Phase I,
Fischer says only minor changes
will be necessar) to improve Phase
2. "Receiving the grant for 1999 is
encouraging.'' she said, ··our !>Ole
focus is to teach 900 people at 150
work sites practicle math skills for
LI'>C at work and at home:·
Phase 2 \\ill begin Jan. 26, and
meet ever} Tuesday through the
end of Ma). The program will run
for I H weeks. Any food ~erv1ce
organizations interested are encouraged to get involved.

new Appalachia push
Kentucky is beginning a new im• tiative to attract jobs and economic
prosperity
to
Kentucky's
Appalachian region, Gov. Paul
Patton has announced.
"We've made a lot of progress in
the last 30 years, and the old conceptions about Appalachia are no
longer valid, Patton said." Today
we're recognizing the New
Appalachia, with talented people
and resources and the need for a
good quality of life and good jobs."
Patton said his administration
will work to promote that New
Appalachia.
"Kentucky

consistently
among the top ten states in the
country in jobs creation," Patton
said. "And this year's no exception."
Kentucky's latest figures show
1998 was a record year for jobs creation, with 25,331 net jobs. (586
'projects created 29,727 jobs, but
subtracting jobs lost, 4396, most in
the apparel industry, the total 'is
25,331.)
But most of the jobs are not
~ going to Appalachian Kentucky.
Nineteen of the 49 Appalachian
counties had no new jobs reported
in 1998 through state programs,
according to the Economic
Development Cabinet.
And figures show that the highest percentage of people living in
poverty is in the Appalachian
region.

EditorialIn the latter part of the 19th century. journalist Henry
Grady \\rotc optimisticall) about the .. New South:· rising out
of the ashes of the CJ\'il War He \a\\ the heginnings of industrialization. textile mill' in Georgia, steel and iron works
in Alabama, shipp1ng along the Atlanttc coast.
Mr. Grady's optimism did not pan out during his lifetime
- at least not for the majority of south em people, not for people of color and not for people without the green.
Only within the last 20 years - a hundred years after
Grady wrote- has there been the kind of development he
longed for. Today, his city, Atlanta. is the hub of a regional
growth explosion. Where people from this region once
thought only of going north to work, they now. often as not,
go south.
With echoes of Jlenry Grady, we're hearing once again
about the .. New Appalachia," that sliver of the South that has
eluded the recent economic breakthroughs. Despite redoubled
efforts. we continue to he a millstone: around the necks of our
more prosperous kin and neighbors. treading water alongside
folks like us in inner cities
and Indian rc ...ervation!>.
who just can't seem to pull
oursel\ es up out of n
swamp of poverty and
stagnation.
NO\..,, Gm. Paul Patton - one of u~- has declared in public in front of numerous '' itnesses that hl' will push for economic development and growth. We think he means it. Unlike
other dedicated C) nics. we don't believe this is a sho\\ to win
back the voters lost h) changes in workers compensation and
the community college system. We belte\c the governor truly
wants to design and build a ''New Appalachia."
As others have noted recently, some of the most influential
leaders in the stale legislature arc from this section (old Appalachia'?). US Congressman llal Rogers has proved htmself
a strong and effective advocate of this \ ast congressional district.
From Ashland to Martin to llarlan. we have a sufficient
number of forwarding-looking, well-educated. intelligent
community leaders to help with the effort.
We have the muscle to create u Ne\\ Appalachia. What remains to be seen i-; do we have the rrcati\ ity and the sense'? It
seems that most of the elfmts thnt have been made over the
last 30 years to dc\clop the region have been done b) imitation. We've looked at how grm\lh ha:, been accomplished in
other areas - most of which arc quite different- and have
copied the fom1ula over and 0\Cr, even after H became ob..,ious that it wasn't working.
We hope that the gO\emor and our other leaders \\ill, first.
determine to work together and. ~ccond. discuss. explore and
try some ne\\ ideas. A New Appalachia requires climbing out
of the box that Old Appalachia has heen hiding in and looking
at the region. the people, the possibilities differently.

WASTE IN GOVERNMENT SPENDING
A ND/ OR TAXPAYERS MONEY
Editor:
There arc thousands of military retirees across
our country with service-connected disabilities.
Each of those veterans receives a monthly check
from the Veterans Administration for the serviceconnected disability, the amount depending on the
percentage of the disability. And every penny of that
check is deducted from their military retirement pay
leaving them nothtng for the disability.
The only advantage to them is that they do not
have to pay Federal Income tax on that portion they
get from the VA which is probably also nothing in
most cases.
The govemment and/or VA could save the taxpayers millions of dollars if they would eliminate the
monthly VA disability check and instead just send
the veterans a statement once a year for tax purpose.

I read all thts tn the Lexington

AAA for avoiding highway 'iolcncc that accompanied the paper's
story.
Here arc some of AAA's tips:
* Don't make obscene gestures
at other drivers.
* Usc your hom sparingly.
• Don't hlock the passing lane.
*Don'ts\\ itch lanes without signaling.
*Don't tak~: more than one parking space.
* If you aren't disahled, don't
park in a handtcapped spac.:e.
* Don't tailgate.
* If you tra\cl slowly. pull O\er
and allm\ traffic to pass.
* Don't inflict loud music on
neighboring cars.
My tirst reaction to these tips
was: "Well, duh!''

Jordan
retires:
who
cares
Will there be an
NBA life after
Chicago Bulls sensation
Michael
Jordan announced
he would not play
the game again well for now? Remember he
retired once and came back.
He may pull a Magic
Johnson and come back after
this year.
Is Michael Jordan the
NBA? With all the hoopla
over his retirement and how
much it is going to hurt the
billions the NBA earns. who
really cares if he does?
What the NBA. like most
professional sports. needs is
to get back in the graces of
the fans. They are the ones
who have been shortchanged
in this mess. It IS the fans
who have made Michael
Jordan a multi-millionaire. It
is the fan who supports the
high living ways of the NBA
players. The NBA players
and owner~ care nothing
about the fan who works
hard in the indu~try. takes
time to attend the games,
cheers on their favorite team
and spends an average of
$100 at a game. Then the
selfish players and silly
owners battle each other
over who is going to get the
biggest share of the BILLIONS of dollars the fans
spend on the game of basketball.
I. for one, do not care if
Jordan does retire. I have not
been a Chicago Bulls fan nor
a Michael Jordan fan. The
next best thmg that could
happen to the NBA is 1he
retirement of one Dennis
Rodman, who is an embarrassment to the game of basketball.

big, although it didn't at the time,
staking the Lady Rebels to a five

making steals and forcing the
Wildcats into taking not so good
attempts at the basket.
But the overall play of the
Rebels included some sensational
passing by Samons with his nolook passing.
"Nick did a good job for us
tonight.·· said the Allen Central
coach. "At times he tries to do too
much. But tonight he concentrated
more and did a good job for us."
Allen Central built an early
nine-point advantage in the third

• We all need to take notice:
the Paintsville Tigers. minus
Todd
Tackett
and
J.R.
Vanhoose, are for real. Coach
Bill Mike Runyon's Tigers won
a big game over a good
Pikeville team last Tuesday
night.
Coach Runyon is doing his
best coaching, I believe. He
deserves credit for being an outstanding mentor.
• What about big man Jimmy
Stumbo who drilled two threepoint baskets against Allen
Central Tuesday night Jimmy is
one of the most underrated
players in the 15th Region. He
has some good moves around
the basket.
• I hated to hear of Shelby
Valley coach Rodney Rowe
hanging it up as head basketball
coach for the Wildcats. Coach

When you have the South Floyd
Raiders down by 25 points, don't
count them out, as the Allen Central
Rebels learned this past Tuesday
night. The Rebel<> had their way in
the first half but the Raiders staged
a comeback in the final quarter that
put a scare in the faint-hearted
Allen Central fans.
But when the last hom sounded
it was Allen Central coming away a
76-70 winner over the Raiders.
Tht! win improved the Rebels
hold on first place in the Floyd
County Confen:nce with a perfect
4-0 record. Allen Central improved
to 9-3 O\erall. It also snapped a
modest two game losing steak for
coach Johnny Martin·s team. South
Floyd fell to 6-4 overall and 2-2 in
conference pia) .
Gary Hunter scored 23 points
while Nick Samons and Brian
Jones scored 15 apiece to lead the
Rebels.
South Floyd placed three players in double ligures led by Justin
Pa.gc's 18 points. Jimmy Stumbo
finished with 16 and Ryan Shannon
netted 15.
Allen Central was all over the
court and a better nickname for the
Rebs would better be "swarrmn·
Rebs." The Allen Central defense
caused South l-loyd to rum the ball
over 27 times in the game. The
half-court trap was too much for
the Raiders. especially in the first
half. South Floyd turned the ball
over 12 times in the first two periods
Rodney Sean came off the
Rebel bench to stan the second
quarter and sparked a 14-3 run that
netted the Rebels a 18 pomt lead,
33-15. Hunter and Samons both hit
treys in the run. But Allen Central
kept playing defense. the Raiders
kept turning the ball over and the
lead went 25 pomts. 48-23 on a lay
up by Hunter.
South Floyd had a mild spun in
the dosing minute of the second
quarter that gave the Raiders some
momentum when the)' returned to
start the second half. South Floyd
scored the last six points to close
the margin to 19, 48-29 at the half.
At the onset of the third period.
each team seemed to be out doing
the other in turnovers rather points.
In a slopp) played first two minutes. the Raiders had six turnovers
and Allen Central three. Jimm)
Stumbo showed he was more than
just an inside player as the 6' 5"
center hit a long three-point basket
with 4:33 to play that made it a 'i036 game. But. again, three consecutive turnovers allowed the Rebels
to extend the lead back to 20 points.
Two baskets by Ryan Shannon
made it a 16 point game after three
quarters. 56-40.
The fourth quarter was almost a
mghtmare for Coach ~tartln has he
stalked the sidelines showing different animated looks. He was
scratching his head, holding his
head with both hands behind his
neck, nnd looking on in disbelief as
he watched his team miss from the
charity stripe as well a!> put up
some ill·advised shots.
The Rebels bad good look~ at
the basket but the shot'> that were
falling earlier. were off the mark in
the last quarter and just the opposite for South Floyd allowed them
to get back in the game. The
Raiders began chipping away at the
lead led by Stumbo who buried his
second tre)' of the night that
brought the South Flo)'d faithful to
their feet. Smmbo's trey '' ith 4:56
to play, made it a 64-51 game.
With the Rebels misfiring from
the outside. South rloyd inched
closer in the scoring and made it a
65-55 game on a Shannon lay up
with 3.16 to play.
Wtth I :57 to play, Kyle Tackett
completed a four-point play that cut
the margin to six points. 68·62.
Tackett buried a three-pointer. was
fouled on the shot and hit the free
throw Samons and Hunter hit thrt!c
of four free throws for a nine point
game. but Shannon ·s three-point
basket with I: 14 to play, cut the
lead back to six. After a free throw

NOTES:
Quentus Camby, a free safety from Cleburne, Texas is the latest
high school player to make an oral commitment to sign with UK. The
6-foot-2, 200 pound prospect picked the Cats over Miami, Texas
Tech, Texas Christian, and Arizona State. With great range for a tatl
kid, he's said to be able to really run and cover the field. UHe understands the defensive concepts and knows where he's supposed to be
on the field, and he's a hitter, too."
Brad Pyatt, a wide receiver from Arvada, Colorado orally committed to UK. Pyatt, a 6-foot-1, 188·pound star at Arvada West High
School, made an oral commitment to UK during a home v1sit by Cats
Coach Hal Mumme on Tuesday n1ght. "I hke the way they recruited
me," sa1d Pyatt. who picked Kentucky over Souther Cal. "It just felt
right to me. I like their offense and the way they feature the receiver." In 11 games. Pyatt caught 43 passes for 926 yards and 16 touchdowns this past season. He had narrowed his list to Kentucky,
Southern Cal M1am1 and Colorado. "I feel hke they're a program on
the rise." said Pyatt. "I really enjoyed my visit there.''

The 1965-66 UK team earned this nickname because
the tallest man among the Wildcats starting five was

Center Thad Jaracz, who
worked his way into the,
starting lineup, was also 65, while forwards Larry
Conley and Pat Riley were
6-4 and guard Louie
Dampier was 6-0.
The team became one
of Rupp's favorites during
his long tenure at

believe that man-for-man we just might have in the making a better team than we had in 1958, when we won the
national championship."
The Runts did indeed turn out to be one of the outstanding teams in UK's glorious history, compiling a
sparkling 27-2 record, but coming just one win shy of the
NCAA title when upset by Texas Western (Now UTEP) in

WINSTON CUP PROFILE
By Monte Dutton
NASCAR ThiS Week
The great Gale Yarborough, the only
man ever to win three consecut1ve
Winston Cup championships, has
found the go1ng much tougher as a
car owner.
With John Andrett1 as dnver,
Yarborough was able fmally to secure
hts f1rst car-owner v1ctory in 1997 at
Daytona's Peps1 400. Andrett1 moved
to Petty Enterprises following that
season, and 1998 brought new
struggles to Yarborough, who lost
driver Greg Sacks to injury and
Thorn Apple Valley as sponsor at the
end of the year.
Now after nearly shutting h1s team
down. Yarborough has secured the
services of R1ck Mast as driver and

The rich history of NASCAR
Fred Lorenzen had been
one of the sport's b1ggest
stars when he ret1red in his
prime in 1967. Lorenzen
won 26 races and 1n 1963
was the first driver to top
the $100,000 mark in
season earnings . But after
a retirement of almost
three years, Lorenzen
could not regain the magic
when he came back in
1970. The Elmhurst, Ill.,
driver never won another
race.
