woman after stop V
by Randell Reno
Staff Writer
A routine traflic: stop turned into
a high spe~.:d chase Sunday evening
as Officer Bobby Hackworth of the
Floyd Count} Shen ff's Office
attempted to arrest a Martin
woman.
According to Hackworth, he
pulled over Rosemary Sammons.
• 52. at the mouth of Prater Creek of
Banner. Hackworth returned to his
car after retrieving the woman's
license. to run a reg1stration check.
ln that check it was revealed
Sammons had four outstanding
warrants.
The deputy then attempted to
arrest Sammons by asking her to
step out of the vehicle. When she
refused the deputy attempted to
reach into the vehicle to shut off the
engine.
Hackworth was surprised when
Sammons pulled the truck into gear
and fled into the Prater Creek area
tl after bumping the deputy out of the
way with the truck.
Returning to his vehicle.
Hackworth pursued Sammons
along the sometimes narrow passage at speeds exceeding 85 miles
an hour. Sammons turned into
Orchid Branch in an attempt to
elude the officer said Hackworth.
Sammons collided with one
vehicle. apparently hitting a juvenile, but refused to stop, sa1d the
deputy. As Sammons continued
along the road, she ran another
vehicle off the path and into a yard.
Undaunted, she continued her
attempted escape, barely missing
pedestrians walking along the way.
Sammons pulled into a drivewa.y
allowing the deputy to block her
escape while she shouted at the
deputy to move his vehicle.
Hackworth said he had to break
out the driver's side window of the
truck in order to shut the vehicle
off. After Hackworth gave seventl
requests for the lady to leave the
vehicle. she told the deputy she was
having a heart attack. After the
woman fell to the ground holding
her chest the deputy had little
choice but to call an ambulance.

-EditorialKentuckians'
responses show
how to proceed
ooru. T. FEa..
\<.\~A 5tLL'(
Kentucktans beheve the state is moving in the right direction on keeping the environment clean, providing opportunity to appreciate the arts, participating in the global economy
and in recycling.
The bad news is, most Kentuckians do not think those
areas are very Important.
The dtstressing news from a public opinion survey done
in 1999 is that Kentuckians think the state':. most important
goals arc also the ones in whtch the least progress is being
made. The lone except1on is in imprO\·ing education.
In 1994, the Kentucky Long-Term Policy Research
Center and the Kentucky Center for Public Issues hosted 15
forums across the state that helped determine the 26 most
important goals for Kentucky's future. Last year the
University of Kentucky Survey Research Center conducted a
poll with 566 people to gauge how they ranked the 26 goals
in importance and m progress. The results were compared to
a stmtlar poll done in l 998
The results should be a wake-up call for elected and community leaders to understand where the public believes the
most effort is needed And when progress is not made, it
becomes clearer to understand why faith in leadership wanes.
In 1998 Kentuckians ranked "access to affordable, highquality and comprehensive health care'' as the state's third
most important goal, but now it ranks first. What did not
change from 1998 was where 1ts progress was ranked dead last.
That should come as little surpnse as the state's leadership
continues to take a wait-and-see approach to let the healthcare market stabilize.
Other goals ranked a· making less progress include creating a more fair tax structure, ending poveny and it~ effects.
and having an open and responsive government. ThJ farthest
drop from 1998 was, "Kentucky communities will have high
levels of trust and civic pride reahzed from broad citizen partictpation in their continuous development." which went
from lOth in 1998 to 19th m the most recent assessment.
Only the goal ranked second in tmportance- "Kentucky
will achieve an education system of lifelong learning that
exemphfies excellence"- also ranked high in the progress
made. While many involved in education will say the state
still has a long way to go in convmcing the populace how
important education is. this study shows the message is getting out.
.
That has happened by a relentless campaign to infonn the
public how critical education is to every facet of life. It was
,. also done by creating a system that demands higher standards
and includes an accoumability system to gauge success.
Leaders have the goals before them that the public
believes are critical. They have a model in education refonn
that is appeasing the public expectatiOns. Now they need to
take that road map and steer the resources that will dnve
Kentucky to a better future.

Hospice volunteers saluted
Editor·
Apnl 9-15 is Nattonal Volunteer Week. It's a week
set aside every year since 1974 to recognize and celebrate the efforts of the thousands of men and women in
this country who volunteer their time and energies to
help others.
Hospice of Btg Sandy is proud m saluting our volunteers.
Our volunteers go through 21 hours of training and
continue traming with experience of working with the
professionals at hospice
For those who don't know, hospice ts considered to
be the model for quality, compasstonate care at the end
of life. It involves a team-oriented approach of expert
medical care. pain management and emouonal and spiritual support expressly tailored to the patient's wishes.
EmotiOnal and spiritual support is also extended to
the family and loved ones. Generally, th1s care is provided in the patient's home. The hospice care team
addresses all the symptoms of illness. with the aim of
promotmg comfort and dignity.
Hosp1ce volunteers make this special way of caring
possible Simply put. they arc there to take care of whatever needs to be done.
I have worked side by side with members of this
community who devote their time - and their heartsto the work of the hospice team. I have been witness to
the work of angels on the team and they deserve heartfelt appreciation.
People often ask, "Isn't it depressing?" These days
as we hear more and more about the end of life and
what it means to have a good death, the hospice team
smiles and tells them, "It is the most rewarding thing I
have ever done."
Hospice enters the lh cs of pauent.; and families at
such a delicate time, it is a pnv1legc to be allowed to
help and be accepted into the famil) setting to care for
a loved one.
Thank you. hospice volunteers and the team.

Editor:
We would like to take this opportunity to thank
both the Floyd County and Johnson County
Department of Forestry personnel.
On Thursday, Apnl 6, I received a phone call at
work from one of our neighbors who said the hills
surroundmg our home were on fire.
I can tell you, the notmal time it takes to get from
Allen to Abbott Mountain was not an option at this
point. I made some good time, hyperventilating the
entire way, I might add, and anticipating what I would
find once I reached home.
When I came around the curve at the top of our driveway, I couldn't believe my eyes. There were so
many people in yellow suits. and the vehkles were
everywhere. .
These people who risk their lives to save ours, our
property, out home and surroundings are remarkable.
They were so nice and kind, and they worked so very
hard.
My husband and I are so thankful to all of these
courageous men and women, we wanted to thank
them publicly.

Internet
entertainment
Do you ever JUSt think about some
crazy things you could look up on the
Internet? Well, do it sometimes and you
will be, if not more educated, at least
entertained.
Recently J was thinking about sport
mascots and thought how some of them
wouldn't exactly throw fear into the1r
opponents. Take the Kentucky Wildcats
and the Louisvtlle Cardtnals. Now.
unless there is something about a cardinal that I don't know. the Cats should
win every time.
You probably know the mascot for
UCLA, right? Yes, tt is the Bruins. But
do you know the mascot for University
of Richmond? They have been in the
NCAA tournament before so you may
know that they are the Spiders. I imagine the women's team gets a big advantage from this name, but I don't know
about the men's team. I once attended a
tennis tournament on the campus and
noticed the unusual name. The umversity has a beautiful campus.
A web page on the subject said that
the most unusual and most famous mascot was the University of CaliforniaSanta Cruz's Banana Slugs. Well, tt
must not be that famous or I have been
under a rock someplace. Anyway, a
banana slug is a bright yellow gastropod
that lives among the redwoods of the
region. What didn't they just go with
gastropods? The name may not have a
ferocious sound but it does sound disgusting. Can you imagine a yell. "Beat
the Banana Slugs?"
What about those Umversity of
Delaware Blue Hens? Boy. that should
make even Jamaal Maglotre tone down
his thuggish behavior. Maglotre is gone
or I would suggest that UK schedule
those Blue Hens. Actually, the mascot
came from a Revolutionary War regiment that took its name from a favorite
breed of gamecock. Well, that helps a
little. But Blue Hens- what is the yell :
"Cluck, cluck, cluck?"
And the Untvcrsity of Pittsburg has
the Gorillas Can you imagine anyone
paying good hard money to go to a
school to become a gorilla? I know it
has the feroclly that is needed but
wouldn't you think the opposing team
might den1grate the players about their
intelligence le' eJ? I'd rather be a Blue
Hen, but not by much.
If the Salukis of Southern llhnois
Universtt). Carbondale, Illinois, pla)ed
Pinsburg, it \\Ould throw the Gorillas
into a mental state that would affect
thetr play You sec the school's mascot
is the Saluki, one of the oldest kno\\n
purebred dogs tn the world The) were
used as hunting dogs by the Egyptians.
Sure, I knew that. I go around all the
time sayi ng. "I w1sh I had a Saluk1."
Alumnt sa) thts mascot is appropriate because the area around Carboqdale,
due to conflux of the Ohio and
Mississippi Rivers, is known as "Little
Egypt." OK, but how many people
know that?
After reading a few of the names for
mascots. the fun wore off and l had to
find another dtverston So I tned unusual words. I ltke words so I thought that
would give me somethtng to look at.

a Contlnued from p4
It did indeed. The introduction
said, "Sometimes when writing
1
serious reports or other documents
it helps to try to work in a few
interesting words." That sounded
like what I might want so I looked
at the words.
The real problem was how to
use these "interesting" words in
my writing without sounding like
William F. Buckley Jr.
One of the first words was
aleatory - Dependent on chance,
luck, or an uncertain outcome. So I
said, "His accomplishments are
- mostly aleatory." Not bad, huh?
But how many people would know

The Cancer41l.org webstte was
built by The Rory Foundation, a
50J{c)(3) Non-Profit Foundation
dedicated to helping cancer patients
and their families to find the information that they need.
The
Foundation was formed in honor of
Rory Leifer, who fought courageously against cancer for 19 years
of her life- finally succumbing to
it in 1996, after undergoing and try-
mg chemothempy and surgery. as
well as alternative treatments.
Dunng her life, both Rory and
her hu)>band. Alfred B. Leifer, had
an extremely difficult time finding
comprehensive and easily understanllable statistical evaluations for•
various cancer treatments.
Thus, it was Rory's determined,
caring and hopeful vision that planted the seed to create for the public a
non prof1t foundation, which would
prov1de much-needed information
and resources for cancer patients
and thc1r famihcs, as well as doctors and healthcare practitiOners.
Alfred B. Leifer, president,
joined together with Marcia B.
Leventhal. PhD. to form the Rory
Foundation striving to find on-line
methods of delivering cancer treatment information. Michael W.
Leifer, Al's nephew, was brought on f >
board as executive director two
years ago and has been running the
foundation ever since.

ELIMINATING SPINAL MISALIGNMENTS
111~ "e;u and tear of everyda) lash ... uch as carrying. drivmg, g:udening,
and e\ en walkmg, puts strains on our sp1nal column. Th1s is even truer with
more scnous stresses such as automobile ncc1dcnts, sport.., injuries or falls.
In cluropractlc, ,pmal problems are called subluxations. In these prohlem
areas, the sp1nal bone::. arc misaligned. 'I11e subluxations irritate local nerves
and mteJiere with the communication, bct\\ecn your brain and your body.
Your chiropractor can reduce or eliminate these subluxations with gentle
adJustments to your spine. If the problem has been prese nt for only a short
time, only a few adjustments will be necessary. If they arc long-tenn
subluxations, it will take more visit.; before your body heals. You should get
regular checkups from your chiropractor to keep misalignment.) from
recurring.

Jim Hall
A Legend To Remember
This is an open letter to all of you who knew James William Hall, who
passed away on April 6. 2000, at the age of 82.
If you are old enough. and grew up in Johnson County. you might have
known "Jim Bill'' Hall. who was rarsed m West Van Lear. 1 doubt that there
are many of you left. but you might remember an active. mischievous child
who rebelled against school rules and dropped out of school in the tenth
grade. even though he was extremely intelligent. Jim Bill went to work in
the mines as a teenager to support his mother and sister. because his father
had died in a slate fall wben Jim was just a boy.
:vlost of you knew him as "Jim Hall" (pronounced as one word). You know.
the one who lived in Maytown from 1946 until hb passmg Some of you
might have caUed him "Big Jim" or "Bad J1m" or "Mean Jim" Hall. or
maybe even some worse adjectives or expletives. Regardless of what you
knew him as. be made a lasting impression on eve11 one be met.
Jim never did an) thing m moderation. When he worked. he worked as hard
as he could for endless hours. When he "played." he went at it with the
same fervor. He usually "partied" until he was too sick or in too much trouble to continue. He· loved with the same intensity and passion. He married
the love of his life, Lillian Harmon, in 1938. He always wanted a son, but
loved his two daughters. Bonita and Sissy, more than anything.
Jim HnU was a very complex man. He excelled at everything he tried and
was a true entrepreneur. He began by working in the mines; he was n mine
foreman; he was a coal operator; he was the proprietor of Hall's Grocery;
he invented the coal "scoop"; and be could fix anything that was broken (or
tear it up so it couldn't be fixed)
Jim was never dull. His stinging sarcasm and wit were his trademark. along
\\irh his extreme honesty. He exemplitied the adage. "A man'.; word is his
bond." If your asked for hi!' opinion on something. you'd belter be ready
for the brutal truth. He had many personal sa> ings that arc still 1-;nown as
"Jim Hull Saymgs" toda).
Most impunantl}. Jim ...,as a kind and generous man. Anyone who needed
un) tbrng would go to Jim Hall first. He loaned as much mone} as an)
bank: he extended limitless credit to those\\ ho a'ked; he would go to great
lengths to do a favor for a friend: and he alw.l} s ga' e ro those in need.
Man} of you renciJng this today can attest to his generosity and love for his
fellow man. and many of you could also tell your own "Jnn Hall Stones:·
He wa~ one of the founders of the Maytown Voluntc.:cr Fire Department and
a great supporter of Maytown schools and churches. In his later years. he
was fiercely independent, and though he lived with Huntington's drsease.
he exemplified pride and generosity.
·~o sum up the. essence. of Jim Hall. the words to a song made famous by
Frank and Elvrs come tmmedratcly to mind, "I did it m} way" He certain!~ lived his life in that manner. He did everything hts way wrth no upologrcs to anyone. He loved spor1s, he loved work and he lo\ed life, embracing it with a passion.
A~ his ~equest t!'cre were no funeral sen rces. We hope that this open letter
wrll bnng a smrle and plea~am memo11· to those who knew and IO\ ed him.
To sa?' the l~a~t. he wa~ qutte a character. He will be sadly missed by all.
espec1all> hts daughter~. grandchildren and great-grandchrldren.

shopping. From buying toys and
clothes for grandchildren, to ordering flowers for a family reuniOn or
even working toward the purchase
of a retirement home. they can do it
all with a couple of clicks of their
mouse.

as usual at the
Thunder Ridge
Speedway this
past weekend.
Rain. cool
temperatures and.
at times. snow
forced the cancellation of racing
last Saturday but. if the weather
cooperates. the first night of racing will get the green flag this
weekend.
h will be just a regular show
this weekend for fans minus the
Late Modch which still will not
take the track until April 29 .
The card will include a $200
winner-take-all 4-cylinder feature.
The card will aJ,o include the
UMP modifieds. bombers, sportsman and road hogs.
\lso a victim of the weather
was Rl\'(~r~ide Raceway. our gokart track. But. unlike Thunder
Ridge. the boys at the Raceway
thought the) were going to get the
race date in.
"We thought it wa<; going to be
good enough to race." smd Henry
Setser. "ln fact. we called some of
the drivers and they lined up. But
the rains started again and we had
to cancel."
Like The Rtdge. Riverside will
try to get another start this
Saturday afternoon.

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES

• Continued from p1
Even around tht• softball nnd
baseball diamonds pcopk urc still
talking about high <,Chool ha'k~tball
and looking ahead to next se.ason.
In our county there rcrnain' n lot
of question marks as to "ho "ill be
back on the court as ht'.lli coach. The
rumor mille; continue tn turn as )OU
hear all sorts of things. and mostl)
they are just statements being made
of \\hat folks hope will happen.
Remember, there is a pnxc's in
hiring a new coach and each school
has to follow that process. Ntm,
\\hat i..; done behind the scene~ is
something else and we kno\\ that
goes on.
It will be a continued rebuilding
year for the Allen Centr'JI Rebels.
Coach Johnny Martin got the max
ot hi' team thi~ sca.;on past.
Bet") Layne fim,hcd 'trong 111
the district .md "•II rctum a good
nucleus nc t season. fhe Bobcats
''ill ha\C th~ adchtion ot Nathan
Tackett ti.1r a full ":;~son .
Prt•slOnshurg ''ill continue to
search for a .,tarting unit. It rna) be a
couple ol season' before thb, team is
back as a contender but the
out
Blackcah are in good hands "ith
Jackie Day Crisp.
South Floyd. along "ith Betsy
Layne. will have to he considered a
district tavorite next season. Coach
Henry Webb will have a very talented team. although he lose' fllur of
his stattcrs from last )Car's champion-.hip team.
• There may be some new
coaches on the horizon in the girls'
rcl1lks come October 15. But that is
another subject.
Allen Central will return a good
group of players with good added
young talent. The Lady Rebels will
be a more balanced ballclub than last
year.
Betsy Layne will have everything
they need to make a run in not only
the district but the region as weiJ.
Experience and talent will fill the
Ladycats roster.
Prestonsburg. What can you say.
With the big three and some good
blending of the younger talent. the
Lady Blackcats will carry a
favorite's role.
South Floyd will definitely have •
a new head coach next season and
with as good of a freshman class
coming in as any team in the county.
• Can we compete with the other
regional teams? Shelby Valley will
be a loaded ballclub. Sheldon Clark
is going to be dangerous, as well as
the Lady Pirates of Belfry.
Johnson Central is always tough
and Pike Central will be competitive
again with Ashley Melvin returning.
I like the looks of the Magoffin
County team and their young players t
who are as talented as anyone in the
region.
The 57th District will be the most
balanced of the four that compose
the girls' region.
Hard work over the summer
months and getting focused on what
has to be done will bring success to
our county programs. A coach can
only work so much with a team.
Much of getting ready has to be done
by the individual players themselves.
AAU basketball is good. All the 111
camps are wonderful. But the bottom line is a thing called dedication.
A player has to be determined, dedicated and have a desire to succeed.
In this day and time, you can't show
with just talent alone. There has to
be determination, desire and dedication. Sad to say, some of our county
players lack those three qualities.
They have the talent. but lack the
three Ds.
Until Friday, good sports everyone and be good sports!

Remember Marge Schott?
You remember her? Her and ,..
Schottsie I and II.
?
The one time CEO for the
Cincinnati Reds, suspended by
baseball twice for remarks made
over minorities.
Well, she is not as well-known
for how she chopped funds in
keeping a strong minor league program going but she did .
And because she did, the Reds
major league team has suffered
over the years.
New man in charge, John Allen,
along with General Manager Jim
Bowden, is trying to change all
that and hoping that in the two to ~
three years, the Reds minor league
program will be where it once was
-on top.
While other major league teams
were stocking up on good Latin
ball players, the Reds were not
able to go outside the country to
scout players. because of the
Schott budget That added up to
obtaining the good Latin players
by way of a trade or signing a free
agent.
Well. that is the way it used to
be but not today.
Today, the Reds farm system is
stocked with some of the future
bright stars of the game. Players ~
like Gookie Dawkins, who is
expected to one day fill the shortstop position when Barry Larkin is
through or traded. Dawkins is at
Louisville, Cincinnati'S Triple A
club, and he had a strong spring for
the Reds. Gookie is probably the
number one good prospect in the
Reds camps.
However. remember last year's
top pick, Ty Howington. a lefthander? They sa)' he has been
throwing the ball at 95 mph and
should reach the maJors sooner
than first expected. The way the .,
Redc; staff is throwmg, they need
someone. anyone.
Austin Keams was a big catch
for the Reds. but he balked at first
in signtng with the Reds over a
contract. However, Keams has
been labeled a can't-miss prospect.
He hits with power.
Of course Jason Larue spent
last season with the Reds as the
number two catcher and had his
good games. With Benito Santiago
hurt, look for Larue's move back

to the Reds camp.
There are others who arc talent_. ed enough to make the jump from
Triple A to the majors. But Rob
Bell, who hurled so well against
Chicago the other day, proved that
the jump from Double A is a possibility.
I think Reds fans should be careful in expecting Bell to make such
an impression every time out. Even
Reds manager Jack McKeon admitted that he is going to suffer some
rough outings.
With John Allen in the driver's
seat and such notables as B1ll Doran
(Houston Astros) as part of the Reds
farm development system, the Reds
are hopmg to go after more of the
Latin players.
In fact, they have a working
•~ agreement with Jose Rijo. former
Reds standout who now operates a
baseball camp in the Dominican
Republic.
*******
Ken Griffey Jr. IS almost
demandmg number 24 to be put on
the back of his uniform.
Seems the blame for his slump IS
because he is wearing number 30.
The Reds refuse to allow him to
sew number 24 on his jersey
because it was worn by Hall of
Farner Tony Perez. Pcrc1., when the
Reds signed Junior, refused to give
his pcnn1ssion for the change.
Griffey, who carne to the Reds
as. "just another member of the
team'' wears the number 30 that his
tather wore when he played for the
Big Red Machine.
The Reds' refusal to permit the
change has angered both Junior and
hts father. Reports have it that
Griffey informed the clubhouse
manager of his intentions to change
numbers and asked that a number
24 be sewn on a jersey. Of course,
the request was demcd by the manager without orders from the h1gher
ups.
Has Junior lost the "humbleness" everyone thought he \\as
bringme to the Reds'? Is the real
Ken Griffey Jr.'s personality surfacing? Arc tantrum fits next? Holding
of breath?
Team captain Barry Larkm was
summoned to the office of McKeon
for his opinion of the matter. Lnrkm
sought permission to contact Tony
Perez, the only one who can :.ettle
the uproar by giving h1s pen111ssion
in sharing the number with Junior
Will Perez give that pcrnussion'l
I doubt it!
When Griffey's b1g b:u starts
booming. and it will, 11 will matter
little what number IS on Ius back.
All the numbers that will matter
will be those at the end of the season like: .320 batting average. 51

SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING Cog;nno smo•.o

Mumme will opt for the quarterback that \\ill keep the chains
moving by completing a high percentage of short passes and not
turning the ball over.
A strong arm and heighth are
nice qualities to have 1n a quarterback but they're vastly over·
rated by the public. The quarterbacks look for ''throwing lanes"
and don't look over the linemen,
contrary to what most fans
believe. And in Mumme's system, decision-making is much
more important than arm
strength.
Lorenzon's quick release and
powerful left arm are surely
seductive. But to win the job of
leading Mumme's offense, he
must be able to complete a high
percentage of passes and be able
to get the team in the right play
when defensive circumstances
dictate a change from what the
coach called .

his ability to do that. Loren1.on
would surely win the job because
of the athleticism he bnngs to the
position - at least until new
recruit Shane Boyd gets a season
under his belt.
Last Wednesday, Mumme
leaped off the sidelines and
shouted his pra1se for a quick
slant pass that Lorenzon threw
for a touchdown in an 11-on-11
practice drill. In both scrimmages, he has made one or two
plays that Bonner can probably
never make, but football coaches
abhor uncertainty.
Mumme must be confident of
Lorenzon's ability to master this
system before he'll ever Jet him
drive it in prime time. Unlike last
year, he knows he has a quarterback who can win games in the
SEC.
Yes, Bonner's numbers tailed
off markedly last season. Maybe
that was a result of defenses
adjusting to his limitations - or
maybe it was a factor of playing
behind a young line, having little
or no running game and losing
key wide receivers to injury.
Mumme is not a coach who
will alternate quarterbacks, by
play. by series or by game, like a
Steve Spurner. But I do believe
that 1f Bonner "'ms the job.
Lorenzon will get some chances
to play this fall.
Mike Scipione didn't, you
say? Well. I believe the Kentucky
coaches knew they had recruned
over Scipione in the person of
Lorenzon and there was no usc in
taking snaps away from first-year
quarterback Bonner last fall to
give them to a player who was
never going to be the starter.
With eight SEC games and
both Louisvtlle and Indiana on
the
non-conference
menu,
Kentucky's schedule is harder
than it's ever been each fall. And
yet Mumme has taken the
Wildcats to consecutive bowl
games and there's good reason to
believe he can be the first coach
since Bear Bryant to play in the
postseason for three years in a
row. He's certainly earned the
benefit of the doubt on picking
the quarterback to lead his system, especially since his track
record on that issue is quite good.

Frankie Brothers trained one
of them 1n 1997. Pulpit was so
impreo;c;ivc in hi~ first start that
turf wnters began touting his
potential as a Derby winner, even
though every winner of the roses
~ince 18R2 had done something
Pulpit didn't- race at age two. j
Pulpll was so good that he finished fourth despite exiting the
race with a bone chip in a leg but
the more experienced horses finished ahead of him nonetheless.
Brothers is back on the Derby
trail th1s year "ith M1ghty, recent
winner of the Louisiana Derby in
his most impressive career performance. This horse competed in
several stakes races at long distances last year, so while he lacks

With most trainers bringing
their horses to the Derby with
fewer and fewer prep ra<.:es each

Pulpit was good enough to win
the Derby, but he happened to
catch what I think was one of the
strongest Derby ftelds of the
1990s. And with horses like
Mighty and The Deputy heading
to Churchill Downs, those horses •
that lack experience may face the
same dilemma this year.

throws a curve.
"Hopefully it's a fast racetrack. He won't run if it's (not).
He didn't run well there last fall

referring to Mtghfy's dismal
effort in the Lane's End

says he could run Mighty in the

Lessons from the
past for Earnhardts
Things may not be easier for a third
generation but they sure are more
lucrative.
Back in 1956, Ralph Earnhardt won
the NASCAR National Sportsman
Championship. taking 34 of 76 races
and finishing second 19 times. For the
season, he earned $13.264, a tidy sum
for the time.
Last Sunday his grandson, Dale
Earnhardt Jr., won the DIRECTV 500
at Texas Motor Speedway, his first
NASCAR Winston Cup victory. And
he won a cool $374,675, a sum h1s
granddaddy would never have
believed.
.
. His father, seven-time Winston Cup
Champton Dale Earnhardt Sr. fimshed seventh and is the car owner.
'That was awesome, wasn't it? Earnhardt said. ·•It was unbelievable."
He beat his son to Victory Lane.
"He told me he loved me," Earnhardt Jr. said. "And he wanted to
make sure I took the time to enJOY this and realize "hat "e · vc accomplished. You can get so swept up with what's going on around you that
you really don't enjoy it yourself personally"
It's not easy to step out of a famous father's shadow as Earnhardt and
now Earnhardt Jr. have found. But they have
Many consider Earnhardt, the pilot of the GM Gooch\ rcnch Chevrolet
t~ be the greatest dri~er in the sport's history. And Ralph Earnhardt. who'
dted of heart fa1lure m 1973 while working on h1s race car. already ranks
with the greatest.
"My dad was the biggest influence on me," Earnhardt s.ti<.l of Ralph
Earnhardt. "When I was a kid. I wanted to do
anything I could to help, to be around it.
He'd have me clean up the garage, the car,
whatever.
A few years later, I'd go gel money from the
bank late on friday afternoon to pay for the
entry fees of races and then race all weekend
and wm the money back to cover the
money I borrowed.
"He taught me 1f you want to do
something bad enough, you can. And
you can be good at it if you work
hard." Apparently, he has taught
Dale Jr. the same valuable lessons.
Dale Jr. has worked hard over
the past several years going from
running Late Model Stock to
two Busch Grand National
Champ1onships and now h1s
first Winston Cup victory in
only his 12th ~tart.

Pioneer
Kenton
to be
portrayed
One of Kentucky' s greatest
frontier men will tep out of
Daniel Boone's shadow and live
again when Kentucky Chautauqua
presents Mel Hankla in a compelling living history portrayal of
Simon Kenton, Tue day, April 18.
at Jenny Wiley State Resort Park.
• The program is set for
7:30 p.m. at May Lodge.
Simon Kenton (1755-1836),
thinking he had killed another
boy in a fight over a girl, fled
we 't from Virginia at the age of
I 6. He was wrong -he had only
knocked his rival uncon cious.
But the incident launched him on
a life of high adventure.
By the time he was 20,
Kenton had fetched up on the
Kentucky shore of the Ohio
River in what is now Mason
County. From there he proceeded
to carve out a remarkable career
a an explorer and frontiersman .
A compatriot of Daniel Boone
and George Rogers Clark,
Kenton was a legendary Indian
fighter and became Kentucky's
self-appointed welcomer-in-chief.
From his post in Mason
County, he personally greeted
many of the early arrivals in
what was then the far west.
Kenton married twice and had
10 children. He became a
wealthy man, but lost hts land.
Unable to read or write, he spent
his final years in poverty in
Ohio.
Hankla, who portrays Kenton,
has been active in the living hi tory of the frontier era since the
early 1980 ,. He is a flintlock
gun mith and makes several traditional long rifles every year.
A resident of Jamestown, he
holds a master' s degree from
Western Kentucky Univer ity.
Kentucky Chautauqua is an
exclusive presentation of the
• Kentucky Humanities Council.
For more information, call the
recreation and interpretation
office at the park, 606/886-2711.
Special to the Times
Although it occOrred with so little fanfare that
many eastern Kentuckians were unaware that the
move had taken place. two colleges recently relocated.
The faculty and staff of Mayo Technical
College-Pike County tran ferred its Hambley
Boulevard practical nursing program and its
Millard office technology programs to the new
technology building on riverfulland donated by
the City of Pikeville.
They were joined in January when
Pre tonsburg Community College moved its
Pikeville operation from two small buildings on
Main Street into the new building,
PCC has offered science
courses before in
Pikeville, but its limited
facilities did not include
laboratories.
Signs of spring
Spring i my favorite time of the year. The gra.
is so green , the trees are budding out in their delicate new colors, and those that bloom are at their
very prettiest. I Jove driving and seeing the redbuds
and other flowering trees that grow wild, and also
those that have been planted in lawn and field to
burst out in a beautiful profu ion of shades and col• ors. It's like they're saying to us, "Surpri e' "
We have a tulip tree in our front lawn that is
more than fifty years
old and was here
when we bought
the property, but it
was planted a little
far north to reach
its full potential.
Almost every year,
it blooms too early
and is frost bitten
before it runs it full
cour e . But a few
times the weather and the element have come
together in such a way that we got to enjoy the full
cycle of the pretty pink color . It's a huge tree, and
it almost looks like one big bloom at it be. t.
I also like pring because you can put away the
heavy winter clothing in exchange for other garments that are lighter and brighter, and because it
means that Jean Mace and her family will open their
market on Rt. 23, south of Prestonsburg. I can't pa s
by without stopping because they have such a

I just
don't get it
Despite the fact that I grew up
stripping life-ever- lasting from
the stalk and ro ll ing it in a piece
of brown paper poke to make me
a homemade cigarette. today I' m
no t a smoker.
Of all the smokers l know.
though, not a one wouldn't freely
admit that smoking is bad for
them. And even if they didn't
know that already. tobacco companies print a warning on every
pack of cigarettes they sell.
I guess that's why I've been o
surprised lately at juries acros
the country who keep awarding
huge amounts of money to people
who have been harmed by smoking.
Last month a San Franci co
j ury awarded a woman smoker
$21 rnilhon. even though . he said
she started smoking after the
warnings appeared on cigarette
packs. Then, last week a j ury in
Miami, Florida, gave almost $13
million to three smokers
I j ust do n't get it.
I mean if an adult wants to
smoke and is fully aware of the
risks, it's hi_ business. Just
becau e you d illy dally around
and miss the train shouldn ' t mean
you can sue the railroad.
Or should it?

Gov. Paul Patton's higher education refonn
placed both institutions under a single governing
system, the Kentucky Community and Technical
College System (KCI'CS).
Housing the two colleges under a single roof
seemed a natural way to promote new cooperative
efforts to benefit the citizens of the Big Sandy
Valley.
Each institution continues to offer a variety of
fields of study within its own areas of expertise.
For pring semester, PCC is offering 75 classe at
the Pikeville location, including several science
courses with lab .
PCC has offered science courses before in
Pikeville, but its limited facilities did not include

More than 500 students are emolled in PCC
classes at the new Pikeville Regional Technology
Center this spring. Students rudy for A ociate of
Arts or Associate of Science degrees that apply to
college transfer programs.

ask what was new with Chase who
is six years old now. She said that,
a few months ago. she had put her
dentures in a solution to clean
them, but when she went to get
them they weren't there.
She asked Chase about them,
but he said he hadn't seen them.
All through the day, between
searching, she would ask again,
but she kept getting the same
answer. She continued to look all
through the house with no luck
and. after his mother had picked
him up to go home. she decided to
give him one more try.
She called and said, "Chase, I
believe you know where my dentures are." He assured her he did·
n't know. Finally she said, "Then
I'm going to have to buy more and
they're pretty expensive." He told
her he was sorry about that.
Then she added, "And I' II have
to use part of the money I put in a
savings account for you."
Chase was silent for a bit. then
said, ·'Mamoo, you know that potted plant that sits by the stairway
in the dining room? Why don't
you look and see if they might be
kind of under the dirt?"

Computer privacy at
work best handled as
management issue
Wheelwright Country Cafe
Filling a need
(and a hunger)
onLe. . . . Beaver
•
THE fLOYD COUNTY TIMES
Recent accounts of Internet sites
that were jammed by electronic
saboteurs have caused some office
computer systems managers to
reconsider their computer security
systems and employees' personal
use of office computers.
Ample technology exists to
intervene in both these situations,
said Eugene Williams, University
of Kentucky vice president for
information systems.
However, he advises companies
that are considering measures to
protect therr computer security or a
"crackdown" on employees' personal use of computers to proceed
thoughtfully and cautiously to
make sure the cures are not worse
than the ills that inspired them.
For instance, said Williams, a
company that sells products and
services on its Web site certainly
needs to exercise "due diligence
security" to protect the confidentiality of its customers. such as
credit card numbers. But there can
never be total security.
"There is an inevitable trade-off
between security and access, and
most businesses want unlimited
access to their Web sites," he
added.
Williams manages a computing
environment at UK that includes
about 10,000 desktop professional
computers used by students, faculty and staff members.
He noted that much of the sabotage reported recently by such
major Web sites as eBay, a highly
popular Internet auction site, and
CNN News, apparently was performed by computer hackers who
infiltrated computers at locations
other than the one from which they
were working, and used the compromised computers to bombard
the taregted Web sites with an overwhelming number of bogus
inqutries.
These incidents appear to be
nothing more than "mean-spirited
vandalism," Williams said, with no

Bus iness Editor
helvie Boyd admits she'c; scared.
"Sometimes, I think Jeff and I are kind of
crazy." she says in reference to the venture
she and her husband have recently undertaken.
The couple opened the Wheelwright
Country Cafe about three weeks ago. and
they arc going lickery-split into an expansion that \\ill add
the words "and Inn'' to the name of their business.
A steady stream of customers has come into the eatery
since its opening. and
Sunday diners have fairly
packed the establishment
after church.
Shelvte Boyd reports
there's already a group
of a half-dozen or so
·•regulars" for breakfast.
One customer
who constders himself a regular is
Jimmy Little.
Over the special
on a recent
Saturday. he
said the restaurant
was "needed real bad."
"We· re closer to having something in this town,'' Little said. adding
that he hopes the restaurant - and the inn that is
in progress
will serve as an incentive for more business
development
What has been surprising to many is that there has not
been more business activity in the commumty since Otter
Creek Correctional Center was built seven years ago just
across the street and up the hill from the Boyds' restaurant
Families of 111mates regularly visit, as do corrections
company ofticials and others doing business with the
prison, which holds more than 500 prisoners. There has
been very little locally in the way of lodging and dintng for
them.
When the facility opened in 1993, development of busi·
ncsses that would augment the prison economy was anticipated but did not materialize.
Boyd says that's part of what makes her family's busi
ness venture scary. "What did they know?" she asks. somewhat jokingly. when she talks about why others chose not
to invest in the community.
''Maybe it takes fools like us," she sn)S with a laugh.
Concern for the community was one of the reasons
•
apparent economic or revenge
motives.
As to employees' personal use
of office computers, Williams said
employers shouldn't look at computers as the mantfestation of
George Orwell's "big brother'' concept in which the computers
watched their users.
The technology to track a person's Internet activity exists,
Williams said, but employers need
to ask themselves, "Why do that'!'
For instance, a computer can be equipped with a camera to monitor
an employee's Internet activity just
like George Orwell wrote about in
his futuristic novel "1984."
Personal use of office computers should be approached in the
same way as any other personnel
management issue. he said.
Williams· management philosophy
ts that if personal use of an office
computer does not interfere with an
employee's worlc productivity and
if the computer is legal, there seems
to be no management problem.
Other philosophies do exist. . ,
however.
UK journalism Professor
Richard Labunski, an expert in the
emerging area of Internet law, said
many privacy issues involving
employee use of computers are yet
to be clarified. "No one doubts the
employer's right to legally monitor
an employee's use of a computer.
but there are certain to be some limits on use of that information."
Labunski. who is writing a book
on Internet law and politics. said, ,.
for instance, if an employee using
e-mail confides to a friend or relative that he or she has a medical
condition that might impair their
ability to do their work. the
employer probably could not legally take action against the employee.

Hawkins to replace Moore
as WCYB-TV news anchor
Believing experience counts,
WCYB-TV has named 24-year
news veteran Steve Hawkins to
replace longtime anchor Merrill
Moore in the 6 p.m. slot when
Moore retires in August.
Hawkins, a Rogersville,
Tennessee, native who began
with the station as a college stu-
dent, will retain his news director title, but will shift production
and promotion duties to take on
the anchor responsibilities.
Hawkins, a 1977 graduate of
East Tennessee State University
with a B.S. in mass communications and post graduate work at
the University of Missouri and
the University of Virginia, came
to the station in his junior year as
a sports anchor. He also
anchored the 11 p.m. newscast,
served as a news producer and
was promoted to news director
in 1985. Over the years he has
filled in on newscasts when
Moore was away.

Shortage of electrical workers
threatens "wiring" of America
The overwhelming obstacle to wiring American businesses over
the next decade will be recruiting and training the thousands of professional electrical workers needed to cable the nation's new commercial buildings and rewire outdated ones.
That's the prediction of the National Electrical Contractors
Association (NECA) and International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers (IBEW), whose NJATC training program has long been the
acknowledged leader in recruiting and training Ame~a's electrical
construction workers.
NECA-lBEW officials estimate that an additional 50,000 telecommunications installer/technicians will need to be recruited and trained
over the next 10 years to meet the demand for cabeling the nation's
commercial buildings.
Apprentice installer/technicians in the NECA-IBEW training program must complete a demanding three-year course encompassing
380 hours of classwork and 4,800 hours of on-the-job experience to
become NJATC certified.
However, participants in earn-as-you-learn program receive a

.Leasing equipment frees
working capital
•
A survey by the Equipment
Leasing Association of America
reveals that more than 80 percent of
businesses with material needs
have leased equipment, indtcating
the necessity for banks to offer fulfilling leasing options. Now a
hometown banking compan)' in the
Big Sandy region has entered the
leasing business.
Citizens National Bank, with
locations in Johnson, Floyd, and
Magoffin Countic~. recently introduced the CashFiow LEASETM
program. The leasing option will
allow CNB customers a greater
alternative for equtpment needs
versus visiting the giant money
centers and major financiaJ institutions
"Leasing can be perfect for businesses wanting to conserve working capital," said Dennis T. Dorton.

dent of the Citizens National
Corporation. "An operating lease
provides for I 00 percent deductibility of the lease payment."
Businesses and professionals
depend on equipment that can
become outdated and obsolete.
However, leasing the necessary
equipment protects them from owning materials that may not meet
their future needs.
"We are confident we can offer
our customers the most rewarding
leasing options and terms available,'' Dorton stated. "Additionally,
with the CashFiow LEASETM program, we can provide our cus·
tomers the ability to upgrade within
the lease term."
Citizens National Bank extends
its CashFlow LEASE™ program to
commercial, professional, and medical clients. A customer service representative can struture each lease
option to meet the needs of the customer and continue to help with
upgrades, extensions. renewaJs, and
equipment disposition.
The service also includes communication with vendors to keep
customers informed of the latest
equipment
and
technology
upgrades.
thereby
increasing
awareness and enhancing customer
satisfaction.
"Essentially. we hope the leasing
service offered at Citizens National
Bank can help customers become
more successful in their professions
and keep them in touch with their
hometown bank," said Dorton.
Cttizens National Corporation is
the second largest, locally-owned,
independent banking company in

there are II Citizens National Bank

Shelvie and Jeff Boyd bought
the old Inland Steel building and
decided to get into the hospitality
business.
"We're not in this JUSt for the
money. not just to help us financially. but for the community,"
says Boyd, who with her husband
and family,
has lived
in
Wheelwright for 25 years.
The 35-seat restaurant is on the
first floor of the brick building that
was once known as the Number
Two Store in the coal town's heyday.
The couple had to gut the whole
downstairs of the former company
store before they put in the restaurant. "We took it back to the
brick," says Boyd. ''Nothing was
salvageable."
1
What the) installed then,
besides a kitchen. were a main dining area and a couple of separate
eating areas, as well as a section
where Boyd has started a gift shop.
which she hopes to enhance with
local crafts and souvenirs.
The walls throughout are lined
with mementos of the once-flourishing coal town and the old
Wheelwright H1gh School.
She is appreciative of the people who have lent her items to display. For instance, on a stand is a
football helmet that belongs to former WHS football great Bob Hall
Jr.
The WH,S basketball uniform of
the Boyds' daughter, Evelyn Boyd
Newsome, also adorns a wall,
along with old band uniforms,
cheerleader outfits, paintings, mining implements, racing items, and
food ads.
The bill of fare for the cafe is
standard "home cooking," Boyd
says. In addition to sandwiches,
salads and soups, the six employees cook up and serve full meals,
including daily specials that don't
chew up the wallet .
Monday's special is meatloaf,
Tuesday's spaghetti. Wednesday's
roast beef, Thursday's pork chops,
Friday's fish, and Saturday's soup
beans and salmon putty.
Two specials are offered on
Sundays: fried chicken and chick
en dumplings None of the specials
costs more than $4.50.
Boyp doesn't serve pizza.
"There's too many already," she
says, referring to pizza restaurants.
She says she learned about how
seriously customers takl· rhe1r eating when the diner ran out of
home-cooked soup beans a few
Saturdays ago. To substitute, she
fetched some canned pintos from
the grocery store.
One customer, she says,
announced loudly, "1 didn't drive
all the way from McDowell for
canned beans."
Wheelwright Country Cafe
hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.,
Monday-Thursday: 7 a.m.-9 p.m.,
Friday and Saturday; and 1-6 p.m.,
Sunday.
The Boyds are working now on
renovating the upstairs, turning
three former apartments into nine
lodging units.
They hope to have three rooms
- the middle apartment - to let
within a month. One will be a single room, and the other will be a
suite of two sleeping rooms, suit·
able for families. A sitting room
will serve both sections.
Now when people visit the corrections center, they have to drive
to Pikeville or Prestonsburg for
lodging, upwards of 30 miles.
The outlook appears bright for
the Boyds. But Shelvie is not ready
to quit her job just yet as a nurse at
McDowell Appalachian Regional
Hospital. She has in 28 years and
expects to work a couple more
before retiring.
Daughter Evelyn, who lives
across the county line in Virgie,
helps out her parents. The Boyds'
four sons all live out of state: Greg
in North Carolina, David in West
Virginia, Jeffrey in Kansas and
Brian in Tennessee.
Boyd says community members
seem to appreciate what she and
her husband are trying to do.
" People have been very supportive.'' she says.

about wiring the nat1on for the information age.

"Unfortunately. the prosperity of the last decade and the glamonzmg of

the worth and rewards of trade mastery and sktlled labor careers."
NECA and IBEW officials say they hope to unite the wide-ranging
resources of the business. education and labor communities to counteract
the alarming shortage of skilled electrical workers.
The effort will focus on advancing cooperative education and awareness activities that address technology training needs, and career opportunities for future electricians and cabling installer/technicians.

The Board of Trustees of Consolidated Health
S) stems. parent company of Highland' Reg10nal
Medtcal Center. has renewed the contract of
President and CEO. Harold Warman Jr. for an
additional three-year period.
This announcement came shortly after the last
regularly scheduled board meeting.
Concerning his contract renewal. Warm.tn
said, "I am pleased with the confidence and 'liP·
pon the board ha::. ~hown in me and gi\ en to llll'.
However, I urn more pleased with the quickl.'r
thun expected recovery, we have made m the
aftermath of the unJOn·called strike on the medical center."
Highlands Regional spent most of J999 o;trug·
gling with labor issues related to the union contract, and ultim.ttely with the 75-day strike wh1ch
cost the medical center $3.8 million in loo,t re-.:enues.
Although many of the medical center'-. medical/ urgical service were disrupted by the labor
stoppage, ndminic;tratl\e work did not stand ,tiJI.
During that time. admimstrative groundwork v.a~
laid for a new strategic plan for the medical center.
The detailed trategic plan has built-in goals
which will make the medical center stronger and
provide specific benclits lor the entire region.
Parts of the new strategic plan and its benefit'> to
the community will be announced in the near
future.
Throughout the year. on-going medical recruitmen! clforts resulted in the addition of Dr. Manin

Much planning has been completed on the f
long-awaited proJect and all parties involved '
seem eager to ::.ee comtruction begin bringing
needed services to the people of Martin County.
Although the ~trike was costly, the medical
center i~ now fully restaffed and by the end of the
fiscal year, June 30, Highlands hopes to have
reco\ered its financial losses.
"We are here a-. a medical center to meet a
defined commuoit) need and to do what we do
be~t. deJi,er high quality health care services,"
Wannan said. We encountered many difficulties
in 1999, but with the beginning of the new millennium we have made a new beginning, putting
those experiences behind us and we are working
together as a team to make the medical center
stronger than ever before.
•
"The state and federal governments continue
to increase the restrictions on the reimbursements
they provide for Medicare and Medicaid, and we
will work to internally restructure the way we
deliver care so these groups can continue to
recehe the same level of high quality health care
they have come to know and expect from
Htghlands.
"We look forward to the job we have to do, and
intend on adding new health care sen·ices to the
community. and w111 con~tantl) look for ways to
improve our orgamzation on behalf of the public."

At that time. Newman allegedly
pulled his vehicle into drive, narrowly missing the cruisers by a few inches, the ofticer said.
Sgt. Johnson, who was the first to
approach Newman, walked up to the
defendant's door.
Stapleton said after Newman exited the vehicle, a minor scuffle
ensued. The two officers were forced
to wrestle Newman to the ground,
said Stapleton. They then placed him
into custody and searched his vehi·

bag of marijuana inside the vehicle.
Newman was taken to the Aoyd

Newman, Stapleton and Johnson

The injury was less than lifethreatening according to Webster's

fourth-degree assault.
The officer did not charge the

will provide enough money to fund
virtuaUy all of the initiatives
approved by the House, plus some.
To help pay for the projects, the
state expects to pick up $89.4 million
for the General Fund over the next
two years by placing a six-percent
tax on all out-of-state phone calls. Instate long distance calls already cany
the tax.
However, legislators said that the
measure is "revenue-neutral" and
does not violate any members· vow<>
not to raise taxes. That's because the
package also includes a cut in the tax
employers pay on their unemployment insurance.
The legislature was able to make
the insurance tax cut because the
money from that tax goes into a fund
for benefits for unemployed workers
rather than the General Fund. And
since unemployment has been down
over the past several years. administrators for the fund said that the $75
million that will be lost over the next
two-year period could be absorbed
more easily.
"''m unapologetic," Williams said
of the plan. "We need to have even
broader Lax reform.''
The package, which passed 31-6
in the Senate. b a rewritten version of
House Bill 996, the tax bill passed in
the House but was snubbed in the
Senate. The original version of the
bill would have placed a seven-percent excise lax on all communications services such as satellite, cable
and pagers.
Both House Speaker Jody
Richards, 0-Bo.,.,ling Green. and
Williams maintain that the projectladen budget is balanced based on
the tax package and bright revenue
forecasts for the coming months.
However. the administration has
said that another factor also went into
balancing the budget - a tax on
access fees that long distance companies pay in order to use hnes owned
by local telephone companies.
That tax. which would raise about
$80 million over the next two years.
is already in the law but has never
been collected.

Both Richards and Williams
insisted that they did not bcheve that
expected funds from the access fees
were used to balance the budget.
"We ha.,en't been told by anyone
that they're going to attempt to collect the access fee." Williams said.
Under t11e budget agreement,
there are plans for about 180 new
community development projects
that did not originally appear in any
ven;iun of the budget. Many of those
initiatives. which include everything "'
from $100.000 for sidewalks in
Walton to $1.7 million for water and
sewer improvements in Springfield.
are in Senate Republicans' districts.
There's also $6 million for an
earl) reading program. $400,000 for
grants for dropout prevention programs, $1 million more for reimbursements to foster care parents and
a tax credit for Keeneland Race
Course and Churchill Downs.
There will also be more funds for
new road projects and a third campus
for the Governor's Scholars
Program.

Although Senate President David
Williams had proclaimed a week earlier that as far as the budget was concerned. "pork is out, people are in."
he said the ne\\ projects for Senate
Republicans were only fair. since
House members had gotten their

Both House and Senate leadership
seemed glad that the state· s $14 billion budget ts finally moving toward

''The budget is largely the House ~

pleased."
"We believe that we can come to
a conclusion that everyone can
declare themselves a winner,"
Williams said before the talks ended.
"It's gonna be a good budget."

Pedophile bill
puts focus at
wrong point
by Randell Reno
Staff Writer
The cramped space below the slimy underside of bugridden, rotting timber 1s actually too nice of a home for
sexual predators who prey on children.
The sexual abuse of ch1ldrcn is a v1cious cycle. often
leadmg many of the abused to become abusers themselves as adults. or at least to have trouble 1n relationships unless they have rece1ved counseling.
If Congress can help stop such abuse. more power to
it. But what Sen. Mitch McConnell has introduced as a
deterrent looks much more hke political grandstanding.
McConnell introduced a bill that would requ1re a fiveyear rmnimum sentence for anyone who uses the Internet
to lure children across state lines to have sex. Even if
children are not harmed and offenders are caught in a law
enforcement sting, the five-year prison term would be in
effect.
Whtle we support harsh penalttes for such vermin, this
bill seems to have little of the deterrent factor its proponents endorse.
"There's really no evtdence whatsoever that mandatory mimmums have a deterrent effect," said Marc Mauer,
assistant dtrector of the Sentencing Project, an advocacy
group that has studied the minimum sentence statutes that
exist for drug offenders.
"If you can increase the odds an offender wtll be
apprehended and convicted, then some people will think
twice," Mauer said. "But there's really no proof upping
the sentence is going to help."
McConnell is joined by Kentucky Rep. Ken Lucas. DRichwood, as a co-sponsor of the measure m the House.
Lucas said, "The Internet should be a ... haven for our
kids and should not become a nightmare for our parents."
We concur. So why not come up with ideas to catch
online pedophiles'! Letting children become victims and
then requiring more harsh punishment for the perpetrator
is not much consolation for the child or hts or her family.
Online predators are another example of how the
many benefits of the Internet can be co-opted by the sinISter intent of a handful of people. But it is a very real
threat and One in WhiCh Jaw enforcement can and must
play a role 10 thwarting.
If Congress wants to help, it should come up with
funding for local, state and federal law enforcement so
each entity can employ specialists to seek out online
pedophiles, perhaps pretendrng they are themselves
young teens. Those tactics work sometimes now. but few
departments have the manpower to designate someone
solely for that purpose.
It is worthwhile that this issue IS getting the attention
of Congress, but while passing laws that limit the discretion of judges without resulting tn improved protection
may make for nice speeches, it does little to solve the
problem

Public accommodations religion or business?
by Jeff Jones
The age-old question of balance between individual freedoms and social equality has been at the crux
of many Amencan political dialogues ranging from
slavery to civil rights to socialized medicine.
Today, however, this issue is redefining ttself
along the lines of religious liberties vs. civil rights
A number of debates within Kentucky's 2000
General Assembly have touched upon this issue. The
debates involve a proposed Jaw that seeks to protect
the nght of relig10us organizations to dictate the use
of their commercial property.
The measure would exclude "religiOus nonprofit
worship and recreational activities and facili ties"
from the definition of "public accommodation, resort,
or amusement" under Kentucky's civil rights laws.
The result would be to grant church-owned public
accommodatiOnS special rights that are not given to
secular businesses. The argument for this exemption
- bas1cally a hcense to discriminate not afforded
other types of businesses - is that civil rights laws
are a hardship on the religious libertres of others.
Th1s proposal stems from an event in northern
Kentucky, where a religious group owns a campground that1t operates for the use of its members. and
also as a pubhc busmess to non-members.
In 1998, the campground was rented by a youth
group that teaches an evolutiOnary biology approach
to science that runs counter to the teachings of the
rehg1ous association that owns the campgrolmd. The
association wanted to deny the youth group's application to rent the campground. but felt it could not legal-
ly do so because of Kentucky's non-discrimination
laws.
•
Is a new law really needed to balance deeply-held
religiOus views against people's right to protection
from discnmination?
Under current Kentucky law, any religious group
can exclude individuals from its places of worship on
the basis of race, ethnicity, sexual onentatron, viewpotnt, or any other reason. So the proposed measure
would not actually change the law regarding worshrp
facilities.
Our current laws also provide a mechamsm for
associations to restrict the usc of therr facilities.
Pnvate clubs, including rehg10us-based organizations. are allowed to restrict the use of facilities solely to members and the1r guests.
That means it remains perfectly legal for a private
club or organization to refuse membership to Jews,
African-Americans or any other group. This exemption to civil rights law acts to balance community
need for equal access w1th the individual's nght to
free association.
Thus. a rcligrous group can already control use of
its facilities s1mply by allowing members only
The key d1fference comes down to money. As a
pubhc accommodation operatmg as a commercial
busmess, an association benelits from rental fees.
Proponents argue that restricting such facilities to
members only would not only cause the religious
group to lose revenue. but would also remove these
facilttics from usc by the community at large.

many of these good citizens have college degrees.
But have you noticed that these good citizens are
never, repeat, never called upon to serve on any coun
cil or committee in Floyd County that has anything to
do with buildings. money or political power? No, they
are kept outside the loop.
I do not claim absolute, accurate figures here, but
I have a gut feehng that there exists a "long list" of
perhaps 50 people in Floyd County who get almost all
the political appomtments. Observation over the years
indicates to me that there exists a "short list" of perhaps 30 people who get all the appointments and
committee assignments where real power and real
money are involved. And within that group of30 people, there are five or six people who stt on a dozen or
more committees, etc .. and lrterally control virtually
every dime of money that passes through our county.
I think it would be most interesting and infonnative to learn "who's who" on the various committees,
etc., in Floyd County. Perhaps an inquiring reporter
could do this as a story. or a political science student
could do 1t as a research project.

prayzng
lts amazrng what you can do when
you believe. Believe in anything. It is
even more wonderful when you combtne
that belief with action.
My mother used to say "you can do
anything." Although I never believed
and still don't believe a person can do
anything, while living at or near poverty
level all my life, I knew I would never be
an astronaut. But I worshipped these
brave men and women.
The most awesome thing I have seen
in my life is the power of prayer I
recently have gone through some traumatic times. Were it not for faith in an
all-powerful God to take my burden
from me, I could have been in terrible
shape by now.
Prayer, however real it is to you and
yours, is the atr of the spiritual life of
many. I have found myself terribly lacking until I returned to God on my knees.
With prayer. faith and action. all
things are possible.
Prayer is defined by Webster's dictionary as a devout request or by the
American Heritage Dictionary as a reverent petition made to God or an act of
commumon with God, such as a confesSIOn, praise or thanksgiving.
Many times it is the expression of
guilt in our hves. or the request for the
relief of that guilt. It can be a confession
of sins or a plea for forgiveness. Prayer
brings families and friends closer together and closer to their God.
Whether you believe in an all-powerful God or not, prayer changes people's
lives. The fact that they believe in something so strongly changes them.
Whtle I believe God is real and works
inside of the many through prayer. alone
it is a legitimate source of strength without my belief.
That being satd, Mr Goble handed
me a letter that was sent to him by his
daughter v1a the internet. That letter was
evidence of the faith and power of
prayer. In the letter ... well, read on.

Naomi J udd
changed her
mind-and
her fate
•
•
•
ll encouraged my faith when I
read that Naomi and Wynonna Judd
-the g1fted mother-daughter country music duo - were to pcrfonn
together last f-riday at Lexington's
Rupp Arena
Some years ago I interviewed by
phone, eventually met (and was
hugged by) Naomi, the mother. She
had been forced to retire from country music by a virulent strain of
hepatitis C.
When I met her, the Incurable
disease not only had wrecked hP.r
career, but was threatening her life.
As I recounted in my latest book.
"Back Porch Faith," way back then
Naomi, now 54, told me with assurance that she would conquer the
disease.
Sc1ence offered her little hope,
she said, but she'd been walking in
the woods on her Tennessee farm,
singing Gregorian chants. She'd
rediscovered her faith in God.
She· d begun consulting experts
from several academic and religious
disciplines who believed in the
mind's power to heal the body and
in God's power to heal the mind.
"I've learned that this world
operates as much on spiritual laws
as on scientific ones," she said.
She has proven true to her word,
despite all the odds. News accounts
say her hepatitis C is in complete
remtssion. It's been two years since
she showed any symptoms of the
disease or took medicine for it.
She's back on the road singing
with Wynonna. The Judds are calling this their "Power to Change"
tour.
"When you change your mind,
you change your world," Naomi
recently told a Lexington HeraldLeader reporter.
I believe that. I keep returning to
The unspoken footnote to this
argument, however, is that the measure would allow religious facilities
to pick and choose their customers.
and turn away those with whom
they disagree.
The measure does provide that a
group holding a non-religious activity that is open to the public, such as
a bingo or other fundraiser, could
not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, color, religion or
national origin.
And any organization that
"teaches or advocates hatred based
on race, color or national origin"
would not be considered a religious
organization under the proposed
measure.
Supporters have repeatedly
pointed out that Lhe Kentucky
Commission on Human Rights
would mediate any complamts of
discrimination resulting from this
measure. Left unsaid is the fact that
any victim would have to file a
complaint, rather than having existing safeguards already in place.
Another constitutionally troubling aspect is that this proposal
places the Commission on Human
Rights in the difficult position of
judging what is a legitimate religious belief, and what mstead constitutes hate.
Dunng committee testimony.
proponents of the measure sidestepped questions of whether a ban
on interracial dating constitutes
racist hate or religious belief.
Balancing ind1vidual religious
freedom s with the social good of
14, 2000
this subject of the human mind
because it's so •mportant.
You see, the New Testament
indicates that. from God's standpoint, humans are made up of three
main dimensions: spirit, flesh and
soul.
If we have chosen to believe in
God and have been regenerated
through faith in Him, our eternal
spirit already has been reborn in H1s
image and is perfect.
"There remains within us that
seed of God which cannot sin."
Saint John wrote.
However, the "fleshly" part of
us, mainly our human body, has not
been regenerated and cannot be. It's
carnal. It's the opposite of the spirit.
It's inclined to indulge in every
kind of sin. That's the part of us an.
undertaker eventually wtll place in
a casket. It can't get out of this
world alive. It's condemned.
Between those two other dimensions sits the soul.
The Greek word translated as
"soul" is difficult to commumcate
with a s1ngle word in English. It
includes our intellect, our personality. our emouons, our belief systems
- all those attributes that, combmed, make us who we are individually.
The word "mind" is probably the
nearest equivalent to "soul,"
although it's not totally sufficient.
Anyway, that part of us remains
up for grabs.
One definition of soul from the
ancient Greek calls it "the partition"
or the "middle room." It divides our
perfect spirit from our rebellious
flesh.
Consequently, whatever we program into our soul, or mind, will
determine which of those two other
parts dominates our life.
For instance, if we allow our
mind to wallow in the cesspool of
equal opportunities is a task calling
for our greatest political wisdom.
This measure would grant a special
right to some Kentucky businesses
that are denied to others, while dtsmantling decades of civil rights
development.
Gov. Paul Patton has already
vetoed one verswn of the measure,
saymg that all businesses must treat
all Kentuckians equally, Our current laws already provide a means
for groups to reserve their facilities
as they see fit.
Seeking a balance of freedom
and equality is a JUSt endeavor.
Unfortunately, this proposal is more
sm, negativity and bad mfom1ntion
enjoyed by our flesh, then our mind
and flesh comb1ned WJII overpower
our pure spirit. We can expc~:t to
lead a life dominated by turmoil,
pain, depression, excess and futility.
If we train our mind to agree
with our redeemed spirit and the
promtses our heavenly Father has
made us, that IS, 1f we learn to think
as God thinks and to speak as He
speaks, then our spirit and mind
combined will generally overrule
our flesh and force it to obey God's
laws.
We can expect to enjoy increasing peace, patience, healing, pros-
pcrity and other heavenly hcncfits.
Thus Saint Paul warned us: "Do
not be conlom1cd to thi') ,.,.orld. hut
be transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that you m,ty prove
what the will of God i\, that ~ hich
is good and ac~:cptahlc <~nJ pcrlcct."
It would appear that Naomi Judd
worked to renew her rnmd. In domg
so she helped God's spirit conquer
the d1sease that sought to destroy
her flesh.

"We have polluted the air with
profanity and pornography and
called it freedom of expresswn, We
have ridiculed the time-honored
values of our forefathers and called
en1ightenment.
"Search us, Oh, God, and know
our hearts today; cleanse us from
every sin. And set us free. Gu1de
and bless these men and women
who have been sent to direct us to
the center of Your will. We ask it in
the name of Your son, the living
Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
"The response was immediate. A
number of legislators walked out
during the prayer m protest. In SIX
short weeks, there were logged
more 5,000 phone calls with only
47 of those calls responding negatively.
"The church is now receiving
international requests for this
prayer from India, Africa and
Korea.
··commentator Paul Harvey
a1red this prayer on 'The Rest of the
Story' on the radio and received a
larger response to this program than
any other he has ever aired.
''With the Lord's help. may this
prayer sweep over our nation and
wholeheartedly become our desire
so that we can again be called one
nation under God."
Mr. Goble's daughter finished
her letter asking that he pass this
prayer on to h1s friends. I now pass
it on to you.
Prayer, it is a powerful thing
and, more than nulk could ever
claim, "It does a body good."

IRS offers last-minute tax tips and local help
Have ) ou '' aited until the last
minute to file your federal income
tax return'! Don't stand in line, go
online-c file hoth your state and
federal ta>.. returns.
According
to
KentuckyTennessee IRS Duector Gayle
~Iorin. you can usee-filing to avoid
most error~ and to kno\\ that your
• tax return made it to the IRS.
"Last year," Morin said. "nearly
30 million tilers discovered the case
and sec;urity of sending their tax
returns to the IRS by phone or b)
computer. Online computer filing
has nearly doubled again this year."
You can tile by phone if you
recched a TeleFile booklet from the
IRS. Monn said. "The booklet contains a spedal number that serves as
your stgn.tture. You call a toll-free
number that's open around the
clock and file both your state and
federal returns in about 20 minutes.
• lf you're due a refund. there's nothing to mail to the IRS."
The other e-filc option is to file
by computer. Basically. you have
two choices:
I. rrec or low-cost computer fil
ing is available on the Internet. For
details. go to the IRS Web site
(w\\ w.1rs gov.)
and chck on
"Electronic Services," then on
"Online
Fihng
Soft\\are
Companies."
2. Buy tax software and load it
onto your computer. It greatly simphhes preparing your tax n.:turn,
then you can use your modem to
transmtt your tax return to the IRS.
Also, many tax preparcrs offer their
clients e-filing.
Either method has proven to be
fast and secure. Morin -.aid. Ho'"
fast'? "If you c-file your return and
choose electronic deposit of your
refund .. said Morin, ")our mone)
is usuall)' in your bank account
wtthin two weeks or less."
II you still file a paper tax return,
last minute help is available, too.
Morin said.
• Where to get tax forms-IRS
walk-in offices, many libraries,
some post offices, IRS Web site
(www.irs.gov), IRS TaxFax (dial
703-368-9694 from a fax machine)
• Where to get tax help-For tax
help by phone or to t tnd the location
of a tax help site or IRS office near
you. call 1-800-829 I040 (open
every day, 24 hours)
Can't get your return tinished by
April 17? Be sure to send a filing
extension request to the IRS by
April 17, Morin said.
"Filing Form 4868 extends your
filing deadline to August 15, but
any taxes due should be paid by
April 17 to avoid penalty and interest charges.
Ne\\ this year-if by April 17
you use a credit card to pay taxes
due with your 1999 return, an
August 15 tiling extension is automatically authori~ed." To charge
your taxes to a credit card, call 1-
888-2PAY-l'AX (there is a tee
charged).
Morin added that taxes due with
your 1999 return can also be paid
electronically by Direct Debit, in
the same way many people make
mortgage or utility payents. if you
file by phone or computer.
According to Morin, filers who
simply can't pa)' taxes due ma)
request an IRS installment agreement by filing Form 9465 with their
tax return.
"It's very important that you file
your tax return on time and pay
what you can. Otherwise the late
filing penalty is added to what you
already owe," Morin said. "The IRS
is willing to work with tax filers
who are doing their best to comply
with the tax laws."
Locally, the IRS office in
Paintsville is open to assist tax filers
on Friday, April 14, and Monday.
April 17, from 8 a.m. to 4:30p.m. It
is located at 812 F.M. Stafford Ave.

Tony Turner of WYMT-TV
serves as the president of PRIDE's
board of directors Jeff Speaks is
the organization's executive director. Both expressed gratification,
but not surprise, at the announcement that PRIDE is a finalist for
the award.
'This project is so new and
novel that we expected others
around the counLry to sit up and
take note," Turner sa~d. "It's a testament to Congressman Rogers,
Secretary Bickford and the people
of our region that a program that
relies on cooperation among federal, state and local governments has
been so successful."
As a result. other states are
starting to look at PRIDE as a
model for environmental cleanup
efforts, Speaks said.
''We get calls daily from congressional offices, from staff members at natural resources cabmeh
and from industry planners,"
Speaks said. "They all want to
know how 1t works. and wh) it
works. The whole effort is something everyone in the region and
tbe entire state of Kentucky can
take pride in."
The PRSA awards competition
in the environmental category was
the most competitive of the three
categories that one of the judges
participated in. according lo
Gregory. PRIDE was the onl) campaign in those three groups to be
unanimously recommended b) the
panel of judges as a finalist.

A View From the Hill

"Knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience: and experience, hope: And
hope maketh not ashamed."
(Roman~ 5:3-5) KJV.
Tribulation - In the beginning
of my fir-.t year on the hill at
Pikeville College, nothing worked
out right. At first, I understood
none of my professors or anything
that was going on in my classes.
And as far as I was concerned, no
one undcr~t()od me.
It d1dn 't look like coJiege life fit
me at all. There seemed to be too
many deadlines. Responsibilitic<.
had become overwhelming.
T'hcn one day I began to mcdi• tate on what my problem might be.
Likt: a light was turned on, I found
lhc answer. The key was in my
hand, ready to tum the lock. I had
been carrying it with me all along.
The key was much needed
patience, with myself and with my
professors.
When I began using the l-ey, a
door opened and that door has yet to
close. The door that opened for me
was experience. I've had both po.;itive and negative experiences, but
for the mo!.t part no\\, po-.itive
experiences. Every day of college
life'- each cla~s. professor or new
friend
has been an enlightening
experience. 1 am forever learning.
The knowledge I've obtained
through learning from each experience has made me wiser and given
me hope for the future.
Many opportunities await those
who seck to possess enough stamina, endurance and patience in finding \\hat he or she \\ants in life. I
plan to do just that. As a student of

All that really matters th is

Coach Tubby Smith sign for
next season?
The monthlong signing
period began this past
Wednesday and schools have
until May 12 to sign prospects
for the upcoming season.
While there are five on
UK's list that they covet, three
are really needed to help solve
the shooting woes the Cats
experienced this past season.
Of the three that UK really
covets. none appears that
interested in Kentucky. Of the
three, high schooler Darius
Rice seems to be playing the
media game of milking all th e
hype he can out of it before
deciding.
He would be one answer
for the three-point shooting
problems facing the Wildcats
in the year 2000-2001. B ut the
problem with Rice is he has
mentioned skipping h igh
school and going to the NB A.
Forget that! Another attention
getter for the Mississippi star.
Rice has led the Cats
along, saying they have the
slight edge over the other
schools recruiting him,
because of the attention that
Tubby has shown. Rice said
Smith has stayed with him all
along and sho\\ n he really
wams him.

Rice IS just another ktd who is
lovmg the limcltght and getting
the atlenllon. Rtcc has canceled
three dates where he was going
to announce his chorce of
'chools. He 1s playrng the mind
game. Look lor hun to rnk with
Misstssipp1 State or Memphis.
Tubby 1s also seekmg the ser' ices of JUnior college standout
John Grice. Gnce rs a coveted
three-pornt shooter who could
make an impact for Kentucky this
coming season. However, Grice
has five other schools on his list
and is not ready to make that
dl!ctsion.
The third man the Cats are
"really" after is guard Gerald
Fitch from Macon, Georgia. He is
another who can light it up from
the arc. Fitch is expected to sign
with Georgia. another school
hard-pressed for a three-potnt
shooter.
If Tubby strikes out again on
the recruiting trail and signs none
of its top three, then Kentucky
fans may be "illing to help him
find a home elsewhere and look
for someone who can recruit a little bit.
The Cats may have to use theu
available scholarships for the
lesser players, who will not help
the Cats down the road
I think Tubby is a sincere person and a good coach, in his way.
He has promtsed to return to the
'run-and-gun' offense with a
pressing defense in 2000-2001,
the style that won them a national
title.
However, before you can play
that game. you have to have the
bodies to do so.
It was apparent during the
NCAA tournament that sophomore Todd Tackett does not fit
into the Cats' plans for the
upcoming season. Coach Smith
continued to give his reasons for
not using Todd. I look for Todd to
leave UK. and he should.
Coach Smtth needs to start
looking at Kentucky players and
use his scholarships at home. I
know that college basketball is a
"big business'' and umversities
are dependent on the revenue that
basketball brings in.
The state of Kentucky will
have a good crop of senior players next year and hopefully Tubby
will have his eyes on them and
not out of state.
Kentucky will field a startmg
lineup of Marvin Stone. Tayshuan
Prince. Jules Cammara, Keith
Bogans and Saul Smith for next
season. Off the bench. add J.P.
Blevins. Todd Tackett (if he does
stay) and the two other recruits,
Southall and Hawkms. along with
redshirt Marquts Estill.
The only senior on UK's roster
next year will be Saul Smith (stop
cheering and read on). If
Kentucky (and I say 'if') can pull
in these three recruits, then they
will be, in two years. contenders
for a national title.
They will not contend next
year in either the SEC or NCAA.
UK fans might as well prepare
themselves for a rather mediocre
season. But with hopes of being a
solid contender in the 2001-2002
season.

Honorable John K. Blackburn, Floyd County Sheriff

Independent Auditor's Repon
We have audited the accompanying statement of rece1pts, disbursements, and
excess fees of the former Sheriff of Floyd County, Kentucky, for the year
ended December 31. 1998. This financial statement Is the r$!sponsibility of the
former Sheriff. Our responsibility is to expr~s an opinion on this financial
statement based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance w1th generally accepted auditing stan·
dards, Government Audjtin~ Standards issued by the Comptroller General of
the United States. and the Audjt Gujde for County Fee OftjcJals issued by the
Auditor of Public Accounts, Commonwealth of Kentucky. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the fmancial statement is free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining. on a test basis, evidence supponmg the amounts and
dbclosures in the financial statement. An audit also includes assessim! the
accounting princsples used and significant esumates made by manageme'Ot, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statemem presentation We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable bas•s for our opimon.
As described in Note l. the former Shenff is required to prepare the financial
statement on a prescribed basss of accounting that demonstrates compliance
wtth the cash basis and laws of Kentucky. which is a comprehenstve basss of
accounting other than generally accepted accounung princsples. This cash
basts system does not requ1re the maintenance of 01 gener.d fi:<ed asset group
or general long-term debt group of accounts. Accordingly. the accompanying
financ1al statement is not mtended to presem financial position and results of
operations in confonnity with generally accepted accounting principles.
In our opinion. the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the receipts, disburscmems, and excess fees of the former
Shenff for the year ended December 31, 1998. in confonntty with the bas1s of
accounting described above.
Based on the results of our audit, we have presented comments and recommendattons. included herein, which discuss the following are<JS of non compliance:
• The Fonner Shenff Should Have Maintained An Adequate County Revenue
Bond
• The Fonner Sheriff Should Eliminate The $2.683 Delicn In The 1995
Official Fee Accoum
• The Fonner Sheriff Should Have PresentwAn Annual Financ1al Statement
To The Fiscal Court And Published The Financial Statement in Accordance
With KRS 42-+.220
• The 1--onner Shenff Should Issue Amended 1998 W-2. Wage Statements To
All Employees and Collect Overpayments of Payroll Taxes from the IRS
• The Fonner Sheriff Should Pay Additional 1998 Excess Fees Of$20.231
To The Fiscal Coun
In accordan..:e with Government Audjtjng Standards, we have also 1ssued a
report dmed October 4. 1999, on our consideration of the former Sheriff's
compliance wtth certain laws and regulations and anternal control over financial reporting.
Respectfully submltted.

l'ij~~G---'_:::..~=~===~~~~
The Coal House, built in 1933
out of 65 tons of coal, now
houses the Tug Valley
Chamber of Commerce in
Williamson, West Virginia. A
statue of Chief Logan, whose
family was slaughtered by a
white soldier, stands in front
of the building. A marker
holds the chief's words: " ...
who is there to mourn for
Logan? Not one."
A building made out of coal and the plaintive words of an Indian
chief, etched in stone, mingle in a slice of history in downtown
Williamson, West Vtrginia.
The coal and railroad town on the Kentucky border, just across
the mountain from Pikeville, contains a big chunk of Appalachian
culture and history on a sman comer lot.
The coal house, next to the Mingo County Courthouse, houses
the Tug Valley Chamber of Commerce, a fitting resident, since the
building promotes the most noted regional resource.
The building was constructed in 1933 out of 65 tons of coal,
mined from the Wmifrede seam and donated by the Leckie
Collieries, Crystal Block Coal Co. and Winifrede Block Coal Co.
The coal was cut into blocks to look like black stone, forming
the walls, two pilasters at the front and an arched entry.
To maintain the shiny black appearance and to keep the coal
from deteriorating, the building is covered with weatherproof varnish every two years.
The idea of a coal building to commemorate the resource came
from O.W. Evans, then manager of the Norfolk and Western
Railways Fuel Department in Williamson.
According to an information sheet, materials, labor and cash
were donated by local firms and individuals. The architect was H.T.

"Wrong, extension filer breath." she stated.
"You're penalized for being married. You only
get a break if you're single."
Somehow the logic of that tax ntle escaped
me. And. without question. it certainly
destroyed the old adage I had always lived by
that. 'Two can lhe as cheaply as one."
''What about insurance'? I know you're
allowed to deduct some im.urance from your

"Sara. the IRS is a serious bunch." she
replied. "Just try and read the instructions on

there has been speculation that one paragraph
alludes to Laxing you afrcr deatJ1."
"A death tax!'' I ga~ped. "I don't believe it.

"Sara. the IRS can do anything they want."
she replied. "They have more power than the

Recording legend brings his Little Perry exhibit
Big Band to the Jubilee stage .
Vassar Clements is considered one
ofthe world's most talented and versatile living fiddle players. His phenomenal ability to play virtually any kind of
music- bluegrass. coumry. pop, rock,
jazz and swing - bas garnered him
numerous awards, including five
Grammy nominations and a track
record that involves more than 2,000
recording performances.
KET presents this living legend in
conceit as Vassar Clements and The
Little Big Band hit the Jubilee stage.
Thursday, April 20 at I0 p.m. on KET.
Clements' career spans more than
50 years, and his resume reads like a
Hall of Fame roster.
At the age of 14, Clements joined
Bill Monroe's Bluegras~ Boys. Playing
wirh the who's who of bluegrass landed Clements in a watershed recording
session in 1972, when he was asked to
participate in the NiHy Gritty Dirt
Band's landmark May The Circle Be
Unbroken project.
This exposure led Clements to back
atAAAG
up musical luminaries outside the
world of bluegrass such as Jerry
Garcia, Paul McCartney, The Allman
Brothers, Linda Ronstadt and many
others.
Now, Clements takes center stage.
bringing his own Little Big Band to

Musicians Festival in Somerset.

fifth season, is produced and directed
by H. Russell Fanner.

Drcama Tolle Perry is back, v. ith a new style and a
brand new artistic focus. Perhaps the Lewis County
native b best known for her sublime AppaJachian portraiture and country themes. which were accomplished
over the past decade.
As the new century begins. Perry can mo~t often be
found in her sruc.lio in Louisa. p.amting in classic oil.
Taking a five-year sabbatical, Perry say!. she felt
compelled to step back:, to regroup and concentrate on
painting. rather than the busine~s side of her work She
traveled extensively in France. Italy. England <.~nd
Holland.
What began as a challenge for personal and artisti~;
growth has become a professional transformation.

warming of the earth during the pru;t century due to man's dependency
on fossil fuels?
And if so. what can be done to prevent the catastrophic results some
scientists say await us if global wam1ing continues?
ln "What's Up with the Weather'!." airing Tuesday, April 18 at 9 p.m.
on K.ET and Saturday. Apiil 22 at 7 p.m. on KET2, Nova and Frontline
unite to investigate one of the greatest scientific controversies of our
time: the truth about global warming.
Scientists agree that so-called "greenhouse gases," such as carbon
dioxide and methane. trap radiation from the sun and that the concentration of these gases has increased by one-third since the beginning of
the Industrial Revolution.
Scientists also agree that during the past 100 years. the earth's surface temperature has increased by one degree Fahrenheit.
What i~ a matter of heated debate is whether thi~ warming is a natural ph~nomenon orth~ result of man's increased burning of fossil fuels.
Nova and Frontline examine all sides of the global warmmg debate,
interviewing scientists, policy maker:-; and fuel industry representatives
with decided!) different vieY.points on the contentious issue.

In front of the coal house is a statue of Ch1ef Logan,

adjacent county and city of Logan are named for the
chief.
The Mingo chief was a friend to the white ~eulcrs,
many of them influential. but the white man proved
not to be his friend - as was often the case.
As peace treaties were being negotiated with the

killed all of Chief Logan's family.
The chief wao; asked to jom Lord Dunmor and other

to attend. Instead, he wrote a letter to Dunmor. in
which he eloquently shared his grief.
On a marker beside his statue. the words are
etched: "I appeal of any white man to say if ever he

• Continued from p1
On April 1, 2000, a portion of Kentucky will be assigned the new 859 area code. Then, through
September 30, 2000, you can dial606 or 859 to make long distance calls to and within the new 859 area. After
this transition period is over, only the new 859 area code can be used to complete calls to and within the 859
area. Local calling rates will not be affected by this change.
Please make a note of 859 and begin preparing for the change. You may need to reprogram
telecommunications equipment hke speed dialers, fax machines. PBXs - virtually anything that dials numbers
automatically (consult your vendor if you're not sure). If your area code is changing, be sure to let friends,
relatives, and appropriate people know.

best for this child.
This child has a father who has never been accused
of any kind of neglect or abuse. The only reason thio,

Cuba.
Elian also lived in Cuha before he wac; "kidnapped" b) his mother and brought on a trip. far too

I wish that ofticials in this country, including

before placing battered. neglected and abused. children back in the homes of their "rehabilitated" par

Rehabilitation usually la~ts only as long as the) are

Political part) affiliation. povcny. religion and a
lack of education does not cause child abuse. A parent
can be very poor, and as long as they put the child's
welfare before their own. this child will not suffer.
There are many organintion!oo out there more than

to care enough to ask. There is no cxuse for a child to

Political wrangling
leaves little room
for respect
hate to add one iota more to the
public discour..;e concerning
Elian Gon~:akt., mostly because I suspect
you, like me. are sick of hearing about
the entire thing.
But I feel compelled to at least menlion the live-month-old custody battle for
the larger lesson it brings to light - the
111le of law is second to public opinion.
How dse can you explain it? Elian's
predicament is actually quite simple
when examined from a legal pcrspecthc.
ln fact. it hoils down to this - tum the
kid O\ cr to h1s father and let the chips fall
where the) may.
But it ha~n't turned out to be ncar!)
that simple in practice. most!) bccau~c
politicians are engaged in a heated gnnll'
of one-upmanship in order to increase
the1r appeal to whichever demographic
slice they're trying to cater to.
It is for that reason. and that reason
alone. that the boy's distant relatives.
v..ho he had never seen before November
and who have no business making dcci"ions for him, and a crazed mob keeping
vigil out,ide their home. \\hO ha\e even
less rca~un to ~peak up on Elian's behalf.
have ~en allowed to dictate what the
gmernment has done in this case.
The perhaps unintended lesson hammered home 24 hours a day on the cable
news stations 1s that it no longer matters
what the lav.. says. as long as you have an
emotional 1ssue and a ~pecial interest
group large enough to get the politicians
to pull string:-. for you.
Is it an) wonder that there is ...o little
rc~pcct for the lav. in this country'!
exten~ive
•••
Of course. here in Kentuck). it's e\Cn
easier not to respect the lav.. considering
the latest mstallment of the General
Assemhly.
So let me get this straight ... the
Republicun Senate complained tJtat the
Democrats· version of the budget had too
much pork and too many taxes. So the)
kept all the pork-barrel projects plus a
few more for their own districts. added a
$90 million new tax to our phone h1lb.
then "made up" for that b) raidinf! the
unemployment insurance fund. And
that's not a tax increase'?
Instead. they' re calling it a "tax-neutral" budget
If \\e eould appl) that same standard
of Llouhlespcak to our interpretation of
the luv... the Kentuck) \\Ould he the
world's first true anarchy.
Then again. r m not entire!) sure that
isn't aIread) the case.

Looks like WYMT over in Hazard is
putting the final touches on its online
"mall,'' which I am guessing 1s mtemlcd
to be an online shopping portal for

Tl1e "Word" for the Week
Resurrection awakening
by Dr. Dennis Prutow
Sterling. Kansas
··some of the scribes and
Pharisees said to Him. 'Teacher we
want to see a sign from You.' But He
answered and said to them. 'An evil
and adulterous generation craves for
a sign: and yet no sign will be given
to it but the sign of Jonah the
prophet for just as Jonah was three
days and three nights in the bell) of
t11e sea monster, so will the Son of
Man be three days and three mghts in
the hean of the earth'' (Matthew
12:38-40).
Psychic readers and seers experience booming business. What about
the real sign'? Jonah came back from
a watery grave. A great fish swal-
lowed him. Jonah was no tasty dish.
The fish vomited Jonah on dry land.
It was a sign. God sent lhis prophet to
preach to the people of ancient
Nine~ah. They all took notice. They
all turned to God.
Je~us likened his impending resurrection to the return of Jonath.
Thomas doubted. "Unless I see in
His hands the imprint of the nails.
and put my finger into the place of
the nails. and pur my hand into HJs
stde. I will not believe" (John 20:25). iJ
When Jesus appeared to him.
Thomas had one response. ''Mj Lord
and my God!" (John 20:28). The sign
of the resurrection awakened
Thomas from the slumber of unbelief. What about you?

Britrina Potter of Pikeville and Betsy
Layne's Kim Tackett hooked up in a
good old-fashion pitching duel Thursday
night at Pikeville as both teams played
outstanding defense. But it was the
homestanding Lady Panthers who pulled
out a 2-1 win over a very good Betsy
Layne team.
The loss dropped Betsy Layne to 5-3
on the season while Pikeville improved
to 7-1.
Porter picked up the win, her sixth of
the season. She allowed one run while
scattering six Betsy Layne hits. Potter
• fanned seven batters and did not walk
anyone.
Tackett, not usually a strikeout pitcher, had two K's while walking two. She
allowed the two hits on just four
Pikeville hits.
Potter, who has signed with Pikeville
College already, is one of the top hurlers
in the region. Tackett is fast becoming
one of the best and seems to get stronger
with every outing.
While she does not have that speed on
her pitches, her location is excellent and
has the opposition beating the ball into
grounders.
Betsy Layne led 1-0 after the first
inning, pushing across a run in the top of
the inning. Heather Hamilton led off the
game with a double and scored on
Denise Jones RBI two-bagger. Hamilton
showed good patience at the plate warding off pitches in the strike zone until she
doubled to rightcenter. Jones was left
stranded at second base as Potter got
Brittany Bentley on strikes and Tackett
to bounce back to the mound.
Tabitha Mitchell, who has been mak~ ing good contact the last three games for
the Ladycats, collected a one out single
in the top of the second but was also left
stranded as Potter fanned Danielle
Newsome and Amanda Robinette to end
the inning.
In the Pikeville half of the second, the
Lady Panthers tied the game at l-1. Left

Joe Skeans took the loss for South

Eric Goldschmidt. agent for
Cincinnati shortstop Barry Larkin,
said his client will dip into the free
agency market after this season.
Goldschmidt said reasoning
was the Reds have not shown they
were serious in their negotiations
with Larkin's agent. So, the agent
said Larkin will test the waters
after the season and "see what
happens.''
However, it should be noted
that Larkin has kept it no secret
that he prefers to remain a
Cincinnati Red for the rest of his
career. Reports were he wao; seeking a three-year contract for a total
of $27 million. Wow!
I say let Larkin and
Goldschmidt test the free agency
waters. We have Gookie Dawkins
(don't you like that first name) at
Louisville and, from all indications in spring training, he is going
to be a good one.
Reds General Manager Jim
Bowden replied that the Reds
have already made a "significant''
long term offer to Larkin. Yet the
impasse continues and neither
Larkin nor Bowden acted as if
they were overly concerned about

Reds General
Manager Jim Bowden
replied that the Reds
have already made a
"significant" long
tenn offer to Larkin.
It Larkin has a good season,
then look for the Reds to sign him.
If he struggles, which he usually
does early, then look for the Reds
to deal him.
Some contending club may
need his service and the Reds
could use him to land a quality
pitcher. something they desperately need.
The Reds are already strapped
financially with the contract of Ken
Griffey. Jr. and Bowden said he
does not want to tie up the Reds
playroll in just two players.
Such standouts as Sean Casey.
Danny Graves are eligible for arbitration next season. Pokey Reese,
along with Dimioi Young, is eligible for arbitration already. So the
Reds have to be looking ahead and
realize there are more than Larkin
and Griffey on this team.
Bowden, being the GM that he
is, said the Reds was not just a two
player team and they wanted to be
cautious in not ending up like
Houston when they were forced to
trade Mike Hampton in order to
afford the likes of Craig Biggio and
Jeff Bagwell.

Minnie
Tackett hurled a two-hitter, but
she and the Lady Raiders came
up on the short-end of the
scoreboard in dropping a 3-2
decision at Fleming-Neon last
Thursday night.
Tackett had things going her
way until the seventh when she
issued a one-out walk to Aimee
Mullins. That base on balls led
to her downfall as Mullins
eventually scored the winning
run.
Mullins walked on a 3-2
pitch from Tackett. Tackett got
the second out on a bouncer
back to the mound but Sarah
Wilder roped a base hit to left
center sending Mullins home
with the winning run.
Mullins was the winning
pitcher in a seven inning stint.
She allowed two runs on three
hits.
Tackett, in suffering the loss,
gave up three runs on just two
hits. She struck out five batters
and issued five batters.
Fleming-Neon grabbed a 1-0
lead in the second inning on a
lead off walk to Bobbi Stamper
who stole second and scored on
an error at second base.
Mullins had retired the first
12 South Floyd batters that she
faced until Shenna Allen singled with two out in the fourth
inning. Melissa Thacker then
ripped an RBI double scoring
Allen to tie the game. Thacker
came home on Monica
Hobson's RBI single to give
South Floyd a 2-l lead.
Fleming-Neon tied the game
at 2-2 in the bottom of the
fourth. Again it was the walk
that came back to haunt
Tackett. She walked Priscilla
Brown to start the inning.
Brown stole second and third
and scored on Ashley Blair's
ground out to first base.
Mullins retired nine of the
final 10 South Floyd batters she
faced in the final three innings.
Allen singled with two out in
the sixth inning but was left
stranded.
South Floyd will not return
to the diamond until Monday.

WCW is discussing a Canadian tour. ·mere is a good

ECW
As m0$1 of you know by now Mike Awesome the
ECW heavyweight champ showed up on Nitro. ECW
will probaly crown a new champ or hold a toumement for
the title. And as usaual ECW was the highest rated program on TNN.
Ratings
The ratmgs are m for 4/10 and there was definitely
some movement m the numbers.
Raw won, as usual, but Nitro chopped a little bit into
Raw's numbers from two weeks ago (last week was
thrown out due to \VCW mnng a best of show).
Raw d1d a 6.2 rating (with a 9.4 share) off of hours of
5.7 (8.2) and 6.6 (10.5). That was down from hours of
6.5 (9.4) and 6.7 ( 11. I) two weeks ago.
Nitro did a 3.1 rating (with a 4.7 share) off of hours of
3.6 (5.5) and 2.6 (3.8). That is up from the hours of 3. 1
(4.6) and 2.1 (3.1) that they did two weeks ago, up a full
half point from the last show of the Kevin Sullivan era.
That is good no matter how you slice it
Head-to-head, Raw did a 5.7 to Nitro's 2.6. Two
weeks ago. the head-to· head saw Raw do a 6.5 to Nitro's
2.1.
So, improvement was made last night, for sure. Nitro
even did a 3.9 in the last quarter of the first hour. It has
been a while since thnt started. It was surely a great start
forWCW
Nitro also beat Walker Texas Ranger 3.6 to 2.8.

Knight situation like pro wrestling
Non-deductible notes:
• If anybody has any clue as to
where this Bobby Knight fiasco is
headed, please speak now.
The General was accused of choking a player and everybody denied it
until Tuesday when a videotape of a
practice session showed up on CNN.
Now, people are positioning themselves and waiting for Knight's latest
spin.
I watch this and wonder where all
the people are who complain about
professional wrestling.
Knight and his posse deny these
charges, saying the player in question
has a motive of not getting a fair
shake (from the video, looks like he
got a pretty good one to me). The
player insists it happened, but it's h1s
word against Knights.
Then, the equipment manager. of
all people, came out and said it never
happened. The equipment manager?
The Bill Keightley of IU'?
Rumors quickly surfaced around
the Indiana campus that a tape existed of the incident But v-.here was it?
And who had Jt?
Then, on Monday N1tro, it was
announced the tape and its owner
would be at this Sundays pay-per
view!
Oh, wait a millute
The tape made its way to CNN,
and sources suspect it was given to
the Tune Warner Company by its
Attention, Anglers!
very own Hulk Hogan, who was
upset about having to lose to Billy
Kidman in what wasnt even a real
match on Nttro! Well, not really.
Really, a former Knight assistant,
whose list of things he's mad about
includes having to lose to Billy
Kidman, gave it to the network.
This assistant told the university
he was holding the tape a-; his ace in
the hole. When the time came, he
played his trump card.
Having seen this video, a couple
of things come to mind. One, if you
were going to tape a practice and
having been to too many practices, I
dont really see why you'd tape one to
start with. Wouldnt you try to get a
better picture of it? I mean. the video
was so grainy it looked like It was
shot through a telescopic lens. Plus,
you couldn't make out if it v-.as actually the player in question so how
would that tape help the IU coaching
staff in the decision-making process?
Of course, it woulc.l only happen in
the finals, which means it won't. But
tfthc mm1cle happened, says here ratings would be through the roof.

Steve Mickey, Im not a big NASCAR

But the biggest tl1ing wrong with
it is ..you cant see whats going on!"
Isn't
that the purpose
of
tele\ is ion-the viswn "?
A nyway, Knights supporters
are back-tracking.
Even the equipment manager has
backed off. saying when he said it
didnt happen. he didnt really mean.it
didnt happen. he just meant when he
satd it didnt happen. he meant he
"didn't'' see it happen.
•
What a happening guy.
Meanwhile, Hogan is all upset
because he had to lose to Kidman in
the non-match, because one of the
only coaches in the game who's older
than him 1s on the hot seat (again).
and because he•s not in the title match
on Sundays PPV.
Its great to be a sports fan.

Martin Rides
A federal appeals court refused to overturn
a magistrate's ruling that federal law
allows Casey Martin to ride between shots •
in PGA tournaments. The ruling by the 9th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals entitles
Martin, who suffers from a painful leg
condition, to continue using a cart during
PGA Tour-sanctioned events. That should
be the end of it, unless the PGA Tour takes
it to the Supreme Court.
It's a complicated clash of interests with
110 bad guys. Businesswise the is~ue is the
tour's right to make its own rules and
,
govern itself: law-of-the-land-wise, you
can't discliminate against someone with a
handicap. And at the personal level, Casey
is good enough and just wants to chase his
dream.
Here are two common faulty finishes: At left, my hands finish below my left shoulder and my
weight Is on my left heel. This swing Is too flat. At right, my swing Is too upright and my weight
ends up back on my right foot.
Proof of Proper Swing
Is in Telltale Finish
ow you finish your S\\ ing
can tell you a lot about
whether your wing was
good or bad. If you finish
in the right po!>ition, it's
likely that you made the
right moves in order to anive there.
There are three keys to a proper finish:
First. your weight !'>hould be balanced in your
front htp. so you can lift your back toe off the
ground without redistributing your weight.
Second, your chest and back knee should be
pointing at the target. Third, your hands
should be up above your front shoulder.
There are two common "faulty" finishes.
The first occurs when ) our hands end up
even with or below your front shoulder with
your weight teetering out of control on your
front heel. This indicates that your swing
was too flat.
To fix the problem, pose your body tn the
position of a good finish- hands high, body
balanced and facing the target. From that
position. swing the club backward to the top
of your backswing in slow motion.
It should feel as though the path the clubhead is moving on is much more upright than
your usual swing- closer to a Ferris wheel
than a merry-go-round. If so. you're on the
right track.
Then swing the club back down and
through to your good finish again, all in slow
motion. Repeat this until you've got the
feeling grooved. When you have, both your
swing plane and finish position will match.
The second faulty lini-.h IS the opposite of
the ftrst: You end up off-balance v. ith ) our
weight moving away from the target.
stranded on your back foot because your
swing '"as too upright.
Agam, correct it by posing in a good fim-.h
position, then -.wmging backward slowly on
a flatter path, more merry-go-round than
Ferris wheel, until ) ou reach the top of your
backswing. Repeat this until you're familiar
with the feeling.
Jf you regularly violate any of these rules.
you can benefit from this "Pose and Re-pose"
drill. Done 60 times a day for 21 days in a
row. it will go a long way toward aile\ iating
the problem.

Run 'n' Gun for Turkey
• By TIM TUCKER, Outdoors Writer
t was just the ~ort of situation that a veteran
turkey huntc·r like I•ddie Salter thrives on.

more than 100 yards away
Salter immediately set up facing an open field . A
small woodprle provided a makeshift blind where he
worked the bird for a half-hour. '£be gobbler $eemed
eager to make his acquaintance, but its hormonal
response never drew it any closer than about 50
yards.
1ne morning was getting lighter and the heavy fog
was ju::.t beginning to burn off when the Alabama
turkey expert decided lo make a move. With the fog
hanging low- ;md wi1h lit11f' knowledge of the terrain - he had not realized that a creek blocked the

down and back up a dried creekbed, making a quick
half-mile circle around the bird.
Without warning, Salter dropped to the ground. He
could actually hear the bird drumming in the distance. Crawting to the edge of a small stand of brush,
he lil'tened as the gobbler - with two other turkeys
- made a serpentine path through the woods. When
they appeared in a small opening in the undergrowth,
he picked off the largest gobbler.
"That's where the action is- going out and finding
a gobbling turkey and really working it," says Salter, a
two-time national calling champion and the manufacturer of a variety of calls. "That's what turkey hunting
is all about - the excitement of calling him in and
watching him strul It isn't so much just sitting there
and wasting all day and hoping that the bird comes
in.'1
Salter feels a change in the air. "I think we're beginning to see more of the run-and-gun approach
because the younger generation of turkey hunter is
so much more educated these days through videos
and magazines," he said.
'Tve been running and gunning now for 15 years or
so. I may not kill as old or mature birds as some the 4- and 5-year-<>ld birds - but I kill a
lot of 2- and 3-vear-old birds this way.
This style just "makes me a more successful turkey hunter."
For Salter, the running and gunning
approach - also called bump-and-run
turkey hunting- takes two forms.
irst, in cases where he has ample
territory to hunt, Salter prefers to
concentrate his efforts on the most
willing subjects. "In this situation, running and gunning means being real
aggressive and calling a lot," he says. "If
the bird doesn't come in, you just get up
and look for another one over the next
ridge. II you keep that attitude and you
have enough property to hunt, you're
going to find a workable bird that you
can kill just about every day."
In situations where access to land is
limited, Salter's run-and-gun style still
comes into play. When sitting, hiding
and calling fail to bring a gobbler into
gun range, Salter recommends moving
lo the bird.
Turkeys are one of the most difficult
game animals to stalk. It is almost impossible to sneak within gun range of a gobbler without being detected; the idea is
to get as close to the bird as possible and
then call him in that last few crucial
yards.
When moving on a gobbler, Salter
takes a wide berth to avoid spooking the
bird, occasionally using a crow or owl
call to elicit a response. This enables him
to better estimate the position of the
turkey.

his second BASS event, held on
through a final round of plunging
temperatures and strong winds to
win the Missouri BASSMASTER
Central Invitational on Table Rock
Lake Saturday with a three-day total
of 39 pounds, 5 ounces.
Oopp's only other tournament trail
experience came a year ago in this
same event, when he also boated 39
pounds of bass but finished a distant
13th. This year, with the lake a dozen
feet low and an overnight tempera·
ture drop of nearly 50 degrees,
conditions were considerably more
difficult. Dopp fished a green Zoom

fter a 28-year relationship with the oldest and most
prestigious bass tournament circuit in the country,
Ranger Boat."> announced last week that it is parting
company with the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society.
In a press release, Ranger officials said they had
"ceased all negotiations to renew their official BASS
sponsorship."They cited BASS'
sanctioning of the World Championship fishing/boating skills series as
the reason for their departure.
The WCF is a series of made-fortelevision events involving top pros
who fish as well as test their boathandting skills over a timed course.
The first such event was held in
Illinois last fall. and it drew an
enthusiastic audience of 38,000
Tim
spectators. BASS says the WCF is
designed to grow the sport by
Tucker's
attracting outside interest from
Tour
and corporate America.
Notebook viewers
'1lte WCF is an obvious change in
strategy by BASS management,"
Ranger president Randy Hopper said. "For over a
quarter century, Ranger and BASS have shared philosophies with regard to the future and growth of bass
fishing .... With WCF, the emphasis has been taken off
fishing and placed on racing.
"In direct contradiction with WCF, Ranger feels bass
tournaments do not need to add racing to the format to
create more excitement, and does noI agree with
changing the fundamentals of the sport for the sole
reason of appealing to a larger TV audience."
It should be noted that Ranger is owned by Irwin
Jacobs' Genmar Holdings, which owns the rival FLW
Tour circuit. Also, Ranger's contract with BASS expires
after this season, and the boatmaker would have probably
found itself in a bidding war to retain the sponsorship it
owned for nearly three decades.
After Ranger issued its press release, BASS officials
took off the gloves and fired back.
Saying that "Ranger Boats criticism of World
Championship Fishing is without merit.~ a BASS statement claimed that ~sadly, ..;ince the inception of the FLW
tour in 1996, which enjoys Ute same ownership as Ranger
Boats, we have observed Ranger's steady and everincreasing departure from our fundamental philosophy.
As most anglers know, if you do not own a Ranger Boat,
· it is very difficult to participate in FLW events. In fact, the
FLW rules prohibit contenders from displaying any
competitive sponsor logos during filming days of their
tournaments.
"BASS believes that any poticy that excludes a
fisherman or manufacturer from competing on a fair and
level playing field is detrimental to the future of the sport.
The integrity and credibility earned by the Bass Anglers
Sportsman Society will never be compromised. Even if it
costs us a sponsorship. BASS will vigorously safeguard
the guiding principles and values shared by our 600,000
members, as well as millions of anglers worldwide."
Ranger Boats and BASS have been intertwined since
the second BASS Masters Classic in 1972. But by joining
' exiled BASS founuer Ray Scott in opposition to the WCF
and cutting its ties, Ranger's action ·will force BASS to
find another boat sponsor for its BA.<;SMASI"ER Tournament Trail, Classic and BASS Federation evt:nts.
Look for either Triton Boats or Nitroffracker Marine
to make a run at that coveted sponsorship position.

erhaps you have seen them -alone or in
groups, striking odd poses and moving their
bodies in some sort of slow-motion ballet. What
were they doing?
Well, if it was Ernie Parkes you saw, there is
a good chance he was practicing the ancient
Chinese martial art called tai chi, which is gaining
popularity across North America for its meditative and
fitness aspects.
Hardly a day goes by that Parkes doesn't make time
for tai cbi. He enrolled in a class five years ago, and it's
grown on him so much that he now teaches it
His motive in signing up for a tai chi class was to
alleviate some lower back problems. He was also looking
for something to fill a need in his life for physical activity.
As a child and young adult, he played a variety of sports
including hockey, football, lacrosse. cycting, soccer,
weight-lifting, golf and curling.
"l found as I got older and busier in the working world,
with family responsibilities, I did not have time or the
funds to pursue a lot of these physically demanding
sports," he said.
'1lte other side
of it is the
potential for
injury in most of
these competitive
areas."

those who
compete- and it
dovetails with his lifelong interest in Eastern philosophy.
It can be done anywhere there is an open area of 15 or 20
feet across. And there is an added bonus: ~ai chi is
surprisingly aerobic," he said. "It's very good for the
circulatory system as well as e.xercising muscles,
stretching ligaments and tendons. Through tai chi, I've
also realized better balance and awareness of my body
in relation to the environment around me."
Tai chi consists of a number of moves performed in a
routine called a "set," which can take 15 or 20 minutes to
complete. Along with learning prescribed moves, there
are exercises referred to as foundation exercises. which
help one achieve proper balance and form. Gradually, by
performing the foundations and sets. one can increase
strength, flexibility and endurance.

Besides, he said, it somehow just seems "right" to do

when exposed to the sun, wind, birds and fresh air, and
he takes every opportunity that comes his way to do a
set outside.

Bomber Introduces Shallow Crankbait
ne of the quiet trends of the
past couple of years on the
national tournament scene
has been super-shallow cranking
with small diving baits. We're
talking about crankbaits that only
run a foot or so below the surface.
Bomber Lures recently introduced the Shallow A, the latest
member of its "A" family, a cranker
that runs less than a foot deep. It
has a bulbous body, similar to the
Fat A, containing internal rattles.
and a rounded bill that creates a
wide. lhh-atlracting wobble. The
Shallow A measures just i:! '14 inches
in length and weighs y, ounce.
"The Shallow A as a terrific
casting bait that runs well on both
heavy and light line," said threetime BASS winner Zell Rowland of

Texas. ~Run the Shallow A
above grassbeds to call
up fish, or crank it
through ~hallow
stump fields. The
buoyancy of this bait
will keep it running
above cover, making it an easy
target for fish.
"Sometimes the Shallow A is
most effective when burned across
the top of the grass. And it will
run true no matter how fast
you crank it."
The Shallow A
comes in 12 proven
color schemes.

·The intervening half-century has seen her intricately involved in the

Describing herself as vef) shy when ~he was )OUng, Evans says the
othl!r \\omen "pushed me" and made her into the organization and community leader she was to become.
"I was unable to speak before a crowd when I became an Eastern Star,''
she says " I was elected as an officer and that gave me courage. My husband said I started talking then, and I have never stopped.
"It was such an honor to be chosen a member," she says. "They (the
other members) really did a lot for me."
One of the women who took her under wing was the late Josephine
I Iarkins Browning, who served the organization in just about every capacity. including Most Worthy Grand Matron of the Eastern Star World, the
top po~t internationally.

I've reached the point
where I tum down the sound
when the TV news begins on
Elian Gonsalez.
As much as my heart cries
for the little guy, I am
repu !sed by the baggage that
accompanies hun.
He has become the political toy of a group that cannot
see beyond thetr own cult of
hate. It's the same lind of
thing we see in Ireland and
Bosnia and the Middle East
- people with similar roots
and cultures ruled by their
obsession with hatred.
Apparently. many of the Cuban-Americans in Miami. many of
whom were not born when Castro came to power and who have never
seen Cuba, have seized thts tragedy to thumb their noses at the object
of their hatred, as well as at the L S government. which has been
exceedingly generous with them.
They have grabbed onto a frightened little boy and played with
him, cajoling, preening. parading and, finally. terrifying him of hts
own father.
They have put the boy into a make-believe world of constant play
and constant attention, unnatural by any standards.
But, as of this writtng, there are no heroes- save for the father
who is powerless.
l t's hard to understand, first of all, why the mother took her child
with her on a nimsy boal on the open sea.
From all accounts, she was not leading a particularly repressed
life. She had a good job. She had parents and in-laws who helped her
with her son. Her fom1er husband was a participating father.
It appears she chose to take off with her boyfriend on this dangerous trip because of pheromones rather than freedom.
The US government has waited way too long to act. V.'hat was the
dilemma any,\ay? The child belonged with his father. The reumon

Unfailingly cheerful, Evans
remembers the evolution of her
involvement in Eastern Star, beginning .... ith her first office - called
Adah- a year after she was initiated. She wa" worthy matron in 196061 and deputy grand matron in
1961-62.
She erved as Grand Adah for
the 'tate organization in 1963-64
and has been ...ecretary for the local
group for more than 30 years.
A..:, busy as Evans has kept with
Eastern Star over the years. she has
found time to do a few other things.
A list of some of the places she has
worked could offer a history of
Prestonsburg businesses in the midpart of the last century - Rose's
Rcst:wrant, Komer Founta.m, Cox's
Department
Store,
Thomas
llereford's.
She was activities director at
Mountain Manor Nursing Home for
many years, during which time the
residential center won the state's
lir'>t excellence award for such
facilities.
She retired three years ago after
20 years ao; director of the
Preston!iburg Senior Citizens
Center, \\hich also won the state's
first a\\ard for senior centers.
She recalls enlisting the aid of
local policemen to deliver meals to
seniors .... ho could not get out during snowstonns. "Doing for others
is my motto," she ays. "I like to do

A short li~t of awards she has
earned include a key to the City of
Prestonsburg. a Rotary Club Good
Citizen award, a citation from the
Big Sandy Area Agency on Aging
Council. and the Woman of the Year •
Award
presented
by
the
Appalachian Women's Consortium.
A car wreck on the old
Frenchburg Road, on the way back
from an Eastern Star event, was the
catalyst for Evans' involvement in
her church. She, Leatha Joy, and
Woody Vanlandingham (Josephine
Harkins Browning's sister) were
injured in the accident.
"After the accident, I became a
Christian," she say~. She and husband, John Evans, have been members of the First Baptist Church in
Prestonsburg for more than 30 !I
years. and she has served as Sunday
School superintendent. Cradle Roll
superintendent,
Women's
Mis.,ionary Union president and has
helped with various mission projects.
She and John recently celebrated
their 50th wedding anniversary.
They have two children, Karen

Dempseys celebrate 70 years
Ray and Blanche Dem~sey of Lincolnton, Georgia, formerly of
Weeksbury and Wheelwnght, were honored on April 1 2000 with a
70th anniversary dinner at the Jones Chapel Church Feilowshlp Hall.
The event was hosted by Pastor and Mrs. Wade Palmer and their
daughter and son-in-law, Rev. Donald and Mary Lou Brady. Dinner
was prepared and served by members of the church. The couple
received many gifts, cards and money, as well as calls from their:•
sons, Harlan Lee of Taylor, Michigan, and Harry Gerald of
Indianapolis, Indiana, who were unable to attend. The Dempseys were
~arrled April 5, 1930, at Pikeville, and have spent most of their marned life In Floyd County. They write that they miss their friends In
Floyd County and their church, but that "God has led them to a
church ~here In Ge~rgla with a wonderful pastor and congregation of
God-lovtng people. They say they both miss the mountains, and Mrs.
Dempsey regrets that she can find no white half-runner bean seed
near her Georgia home.

The Eureka ProjcctCTM) has announced
Search for Columbus(TM). an online educational project that "'iJI invite classrooms to participate '" ith archaeologists as they explore the
remains of Columbus's <:hips from his second
voyage.
Students \.\ill be a part of the search for
Columbus's vessels that sank in a hurricane off
the Dominican Republic 500 years ago.
Sl.heduled to go online April 24 at
http 1/eurckaproject.com, the project will be
available free to students in Kindergarten

~nglish and Spani,h.
"We \\ant to bring learning to life in the dassroom by making it real and exciting," said project co-founder Dr. Scott Carroll. "Research and
discoveries once known only h) scholar' will
now be accessible to millions of ~tudems."
"Search for Columbus'' will be. an annual,
live, on-line event that will follow the progress
of the archaeological excavation. ·
"Unveiling relics from what could be the only
remaining vessels in Columbus's fleet would be
a monumental find, but having children from
every part of the world assist us in the dig is revolutionary,'' stated Charles Becker of Indiana
University, the lead researcher of the exca\ation.
The project extends beyond underwater
archaeolog). It will also include materials on history, geography, language art-;, science and math.
Also prominemly featured will be the tragic
story or the Taino, the indigenous people of the
Dominican Rcpuhlic:. The Taino \\ere nearly
'"iped-out by di<>eases introduced by the
Europeans.
"Search for Columbus" is produced in collaboration with Dr. Luis Brea Franco. Director of
the Domintcan Republic's National Office for
Underwater Cultural Heritage.
The Eureka Project is leading the technological revolution in the classroom by bringing the
world's most important historical locations into
classrooms through partnerships with leading
archaeologists and researchers.

McDowell Family Resource Center collaborated with Mr. Wizard to
bring his science program to primary through sixth grade stu·
dents. The students were amazed that they could walk through a
sheet of paper. Ask any student at McDowell and they will be glad
to show how to accomplish this very task. Teachers received a
preparatory/follow-up guide to his Everyday Energy In Action program. This allowed students more Information on the topic.
Students enjoyed seeing how science can be useful and Is used
daily. The program allowed for student interaction, and it made
the captivated students more excited about science.

''ASB really broadens your horizons. It makes you realize that it
is impot1ant to make a ditference in your world, even if it's just
for one \\eck,'' she says.

With this year's sometimes difficult
legislative session drawing to a close lac;t
week. state and local leaders were congratulating each other helping to bring
nearly $57 million in state spending into
Floyd County over the next two years.
Included in that amount is nearly $9
miiHon in state general fund spending,
over $2 million in coal-severance tax-
funded projects and a whopping $46 million for local roads.
"I've been in city government for 12
years and 1 think this ts the best budget

County," sa1d Prestonsburg Mayor Jerry
Fannin in a roundtable discussion with
state Senator Benny Ray Bailey, County
Judge-Executive Paul Hunt Thompson
and The Floyd County T imes.

A motion for relief was
recently denied for convicted
murderer Michael Lee Crisp,
who is currently serving a life
sentence for the I 988 murder of
Ricky Hall.
Crisp's
attorney Robert
Ganstein entered the motion.
arguing that Crisp's jury had the
option to give Crisp 20 to 50
years prison time for the crime.
which was a class A felony.
Crisp was sentenced by Judge
Hollie Conley. who followed the
jury's recommendation of a life
sentence.
Floyd Circuit Judge Danny P.
Caudill overruled the motion.
leading Ganstein to enter an
appeal to that ruling last week.
Crisp, 36. of Dwale was convicted in June of 1989 for the 1
stabbing death of Hall, who was
from Prestonsburg.
HaJJ had reportedly received
34 stab wounds in the incident.
His body was found near John's
Branch Road near Maytown.
Acting
Commonwealth's 1
Attorney Jen-y Patton said at the 1
time Hall's throat was cut from
ear to ear.

Cric;p's appeal will be placed
before the state Court of Appeals

He, too, received a suspended sentence of one year. but received
two years of superv1sed probation.
He served 26 days in jail.
Carlos J. Perry, 42. of Leburn entered a plea of guilty to operating

The Floyd County Historical Society was
treated to the story-weaving talents of Myrtle
Bates Webb Monday evening as she spun a yam
on the exploits of her kinsman. Martin van
Buren Bates.
Bates. known to the world as a giant. became
a very wealthy man thanks to the exposition talents of P.T. Barnum, world-renowned circus
owner.
Webb skimmed the surface of the life of "The
Giant" and his "G iantess" wife for a wide-eyed
group but offered a souvenir book by Bates that
she said would delve deeper into the his life.
"You won't lind anyone more interesting than
Martin van Buren Bates." said the storyteller.
Webb spoke of Bates as a kind and gentle person who loved children, who loved him in
return. He was protected by his mother from
strenuous activities because she thought he suffered from some type of glandular disease.
Picked on by school bullies, Webb said Bates
began to resist his mother's overprotectiveness
and began to fight back. He worked in the fields
and became as muscular as he was big. she said.
Bates, found in the pages on the Guinness
Book of World Records, was born in Letcher
County and was a teacher before going off to
war, said Webb.
He and four brothers fought for the South
during the Civil War. Two of the battles Bates
fought included the local Battle of Middle Creek
and the Battle of Cythiana, she said.
·He was considered the greatest soldier in the
Civil War to come from Letcher County,'' she
said.

At six feet, II inches tall. Bates
was said to have four horses shot
out from under him in the Battle of
Cythiana. Webb told the onlookers
of the capture of Bates in the battle
and of h1s return to Floyd County as
a prisoner of the Union Army.
He was thrown over a horse with
4f his hands and feet tied together she
said.
Apparent!) tickled at the man's
size, Webb said the "Yankees put
him in a pen. This may be the
beginning of him wanting to be in
exhibition," she said.
Bates and ''Bad" John Wright
are said to have walked from
Letcher County to Lexington
before getting on a train to
Cincinnati she said. At $100 a
month he then traveled the country
and in Canada with P.T. Barnum
• and his circus.
Bates' true birthdate was
unknown. she said, but he is
believed to have been born in 1837
or 1838. Bates said he was born in
1845. she said. This may have been
done to convince people who VISited the circus that he was still growing, she said.
"It was suggested he must have
been trying to keep his wife from
knowing how much older he was,"
she said.
•
Webb continued to speak on the
meeting of Bates and his wife,
Anna Swan, their chHdren and their
life together. holding the visitors
and members of the society spell
bound for a while.
She brought along at least two
props to help her presentation one, a rep! ica of a ring worn by
Bates while he was in the circus,
and a plaster cast of the couple's
second child.
Now residing in Frankfort, and
well traveled in her research of
Bates, Webb has traversed many
miles with her story telling talent.
She may be contacted at (502)

Times Staff Report
A new state-mandated health
form looks at more than immunizations and bone development.
fl, Doctors and nurses who examine fifth graders preparing to go
into sixth grade now have the
opportunity for some serious dis·
cuss ions with the ) oungsters
regarding behaviors and preven·
tion of later problems.
The new health care form adds
to the traditional medical exam
that all nsing sixth graders must
have by asking health care workers to assess the child in terms of
factors that can affect future mental and physical health.
The form expects the examiners to indicate that they have "dis• cussed and addressed" a list of
risk behaviors that could harm the
child.
The list is strictly for discussion among health caregiver and
child, according to Jennifer
Martin, health coordinator/certified school nurse for the Floyd
County School System.
The form is designed to spur
conversation and help health
workers advise children to take
preventive measures, Martin said.
For instance, nutrition is one of
the risk factors listed. The child is
to be asked about his or her eating
• habits. ranging from three nutritional meals per day to a diet overloaded with fats and sugars.
Among other factors for suggested assessment are weight perceptions, exercise habits, tobacco,
alcohol and drug use sexual
act1v1ty, depression. attitudes
about school, abuse, safety habits,
violence. famtly relationships and
responsibility, friends and recreation, and self-perception.
Martin is advising parents to
make sure that this section of the
health form is addressed by physicians and nurses.

Remaking
agriculture
by Willie Elliott
Staff Writer
Hard as it may he for cit)·dwcllcrs to imagine. one of the
most important issues Kentucky lawmakers have had to
address this yeat is the end of the tobacco economy. Before
much else had happened, tobacco farmers learned that their
quotas would be so drastically cut that they would lose about
two-thirds of their tohacco income. They also saw the begin
ning of the end of the price support system, when Philip
Morris announced it would contract with farmers and buy
tobacco directly.
At least this disastrous news came at an opportune time
- as Ia\\ makers were deciding how to spend the tobacco
settlement money. That meant money was available to invest
in agriculture. It also put lawmakers on notice that they had
to take great care in spending it.
Wednesday ntght. a committee of House and Senate
members finall) agreed on a plan. Both chambers approved
it Friday.
While we would quarrel with some provisions, the overall
strategy is strong. The result should be a coordinated effort
to revitali7e agriculture in the commonwealth. Farmers are
in trouble all ovc1 the country. but atlea~t in Kentucky they
\\ill have a chance to modernite.
During the agonizing debate~ over what the future of
agriculture will be. one thing became clear: Farmers themselves are divided. Some believe the future lies in small. spe
cialized operations; others think the only way to survive is to
get big. For Kentucky's economy to thrive, both visions
must be accommodated.
The decisions on how the tens of millions of dollars will
be spent every year will be made by a board. The
Kentuckians appointed to it must be among the state's best
and brightest: folks who think big and long-term - VIsionaries, not good old bo) s.
They \\ill have to inve~t in processing plants and factories
while nho seeing the potential in such boutique operations as
\\ineries. Kentucky's fam1 economy cannot be sa\ed one
farm, one co\\ at a time, but only through a coordinated
strategy. Plenty of people doubt it can be saved at all. The
mission of this board is to prove them wrong.
For )Car.,, tobacco farmers and politicians have denied
that tobacco's end \\as coming. Now there's no one left
thinking the culture can be saved.
Frightening as the transition is. this can be an exciting
time for farmers with the energy and creati\ ity to U) something ne\\, The rural economy will be different in 20 years.
With the right investments, perhaps it can also be stronger.

Just
wondering
I know this is going to elicit a
response such as. "Willie, you really
must get a life," but there arc some things
that happen to make one wonder: How
come?
Some of the things have logical explanations but for strangers they must seem
rather odd. Can you imagine a person
movmg into the area und right away he
thinks Allen Central would be at Allen.
Logically. that's where it would be. But
you tell the person that Allen Elementaf)
is at Allen: Allen Central is at Eastern.
just up the road from Mayto\\n which is
really Langley.
Then we tell the person South Floyd
is up (which is really down) at Hi Hat.
The per~on will probahly know about
"'orth Carohna/South Carolina, North
Dakota/South Dakota and so forth as
they usually do come in pairs. So the person will no doubt ask, "Where is North
Floyd?" We will have to say we don't
have one.
There arc others "dislocations"
around the area. I am always reflecting
that Third Avenue Church (just down
from the Times) 1s on Central Avenue.
and i.he Mountain Parkway Church is not
on the Mountain Parkwa).
Docsn 't it strike you odd that the person who 1s called to help contestants on
"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" 1s
always home, the phone is never busy
and the person doesn't act a bit surprised
he or she is getting a call from Reg1s
Pbilbm? If I got such a call. I would be
likely to sa), "Yes, and I'm Hal Rogers,
your friendly congressman"
And what about the IRS'> They tell us
to get our taxes in by Apnl 15 (well, 17th
this year- what big hearts they have) or
we must pay a hefty penalty. Yet, they
take their good time getting refunds back
out. That is if we arc lucky They have
been known to throw our returns. which
cost us extra money to have prepared,
into the garbage The ironic thing is that
is where they belong.
Did you never wonder why the fall
semester starts really in the summer and
the spring semester takes in all of the
dead of winter? It is true most of the time
for the fall semester occurs dunng the
fall. but the spnng semester takes m Ne\\
Year's Day. Valentine's Da) and
Groundhog Day. hardly events we associate with spring. Maybe they think if
the~ call it a "~pring" '>emcstcr. it will
sound more invlling. Go figure.
What about the Cincinnati Airport?
You kno\\ 1t's in Covmgton, don't you?
Not even in the state of Ohio. Why don't
we just call it the Co' ington Airport'?
Covington needs all the good publicity it
can gel.
It strikes me as being almost irresponsible the way a certain credit card company encourages people who obviously
can't meet their present financial responsibilities to get a credit card. There must
be a catch.

While a drill bit may enter a piece of
wood material cleanly, it often splinters
the wood as it comes out the other side.
This usually happens because the back
surface does not have the benefit of a
supporting layer, while the top surface is
surrounded by plenty of supporting
wood fiber. If this poses a problem for a
wood project that will be viewed from
both sides, woodworkers can take measures to minimize {if not totally eliminate) splintering. This involves placing a
second board beneath the work piece
prior to drilling. This second piece will
provide the necessary support needed
to resist splintering. Of course, it also
helps to work w~h a sharp drill bH.

tools for almost any project in your home

CHIROPRACTIC RANKS HIGH
WITH ARTHRITIS PATIENTS
According to a study in the Annals of Internal Medici.n~, sixty-thr~ perce~t
of people who visited a rheumatologist for osteoanhrins, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia conditions, also sought some form of complementary
and alternative medicine (CAM). Chiropractic was not only the most
sought-after form of alternative medical treatment for these patients, but it
was also considered one of the most helpful for such conditions.
Seventy-three percent of patients who had tried chiropractic care found it
helpful. The reasons why CAM was chosen include: to control pain; it may
help; it's safe; and prescribed medicine is not working. Sixty-three per~ent
of the patients in this study reported using CAM at least once, and over mnety percent of them were doing so on a regular basis. This would equate to
fifty-seven percent of all arthritic patients regularly using CAM.

The Floyd County Soil
Conservation District held its annual stewardship luncheon on
Wednesday. April 12, to honor
work done by local church organizations and to disseminate materials
for the 2000 Soil and Water
Stewardship Observance. Water is
the theme for this year's observance.
According to the National
Association of Conservation
Districts (NACD), which sponsors
this annual observance, celebrated
between the last Sunday in April
and the first Sunday in May, the
observance ''reminds us of our individual responsibilities for the soil
and water resources upon which we
depend."
The Soil District distributed various items to local church groups to
assist them in teaching people about
the need to protect our water supply.
To this end, the district showed a
film about life in a watershed, a
region or area bounded peripherally
by a water parting and draining ulti-
•
mately to a particular watercourse
or body of water.
The NACD says it takes effort
from everyone - from the biggest
farmers down to the owners of tiny
city lawns - to keep community
waters clean and plentiful.
The organization asks citizens to
think about their personal responsibility to be a good steward of the
land and water that are part of
God's creation. What can each do to
help the community to avoid water
problems now and in the future?
Call the Soil Conservation
District at 889-9800 for suggestions.
Guest speaker Lenny Cieslak
from the Cabinet for Families and
Children outlined a plan he is working on to make communities safer.
Cieslak remembered a time that a
person could leave his/her keys in a
car and not worry about it, and how
churches would leave their doors
open 24 hours a day.
Cieslak said he hopes to unite
the various agencies in the county
so real help can be offered to the
citizens. He said some agencies are
what he termed "paper tigers,"
agencies that do a lot of things on
paper but can't fulfill the function
they claim.
Cieslak said there is a need for
various organizations to work
together so, "People will be secure
in knowing that there is someone to
turn to."

How can something so intriguing be so deadly? It's a question
for adventure seekers to seriously

while playing on mine property To
prevent the next tragedy, the U.S.

KCTCS President Michael B.

KCTCS to provide education and

Kentucky's firefighters. This fits
our mission to provide job training
where needed."
The State Fire/Rescue Training
Program has served Kentucky's
firefighters for more than 20 years.
In 1998-99, KCTCS trained 60.06 I
people from 1.091 agencies.
Tn the past, lirefightcrs have not

Marshall Edwards finishes
on top in NOrth Carolina
First win in new
wheelchair
by Karen Joseph
Sports Writer
Marshall Edwards, better known as the pharmacist
at the local rute-Aid, competed in another wheelchair
race this past weekend at Charlotte, North Carolina.
Edwards was welcomed back to work on Monday
by co-workers, who had made a sign to congratulate
Edwards. Edwards brought home the first place trophy from the race with a time of 55 minutes and 23
seconds. His time established a new course record.
The race was the Charlotte Nabisco Sports HalfMarathon. This race was 13 miles in distance. The
heavy rains and winds during the race. along with the
hilly course on the last 2.5 miles, slowed the time for
Edwards.
This is Edwards· first race in his new crank racer.
He has competed in over 40 races in his other wheelchair, but this was his first in his new one. There were
nine racers in this race. Race officials extended an
invitation to Edwards to return in 2001 to defend his
title.
Edwards has been competing in the wheelchair
races since 1996. but says. "Fvcn though I won the
race this past weekend, I realized how much more 1
need to train and improve."

The change to a boater/coangler fonnat is reminiscent of

increasingly popular with bass
tishing enthusiasts. Under the
old Red Man fat mat. anglers

"The changes were brought
about to help open tournament
fishing to e'en more anglers by
eliminating the intimidation
factor. We found that many
people who enjoy bass tishing
do no compete because they
feel their skills arcn 't up to par.

you there. A simple enough
admonishment which seldom if
ever falls upon an attentive ear.
Almost without fail the head
coaches of teams poised to play in
the Super Bowl will be heard to
mouth words like "poise" and
"patience" and such hackneyed
expositions of philosophy as, ''We
have to take what they give us,"
and, "We must play error-free
football."
Said field generals would be
better served to put a gun to their
heads than undergo the frustration
and embarrassment that is sure to
be forthcoming.
Just prior to the recent
National Football Conferences
championship game, St. Louis
Rams head coach Dick Vermeil
told media reps that the key to
victory for his charges against the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be
a "patient and controlled offensive effort," Oh-oh!
For the benefit of the uninitiated, the Rams possessed the highest powered attack in the NFL. the
number-one ranked offense in the
league, which featured an explo-
sive free-wheeltng style '.ita both~
land and air. What's more, Rams
quarterback Curt Warner was the
pro game's top-ranked signal
caller with 41 touchdo'' ns to his
credit.
Does this sound like a club that
is reticent to throw the "bomb''
and otherwise play~ close to the
vest'7 Not bloody likely.
But for some unknown reason.
Vermeil. a man who had taken the
Philadelphia Eagles to a Super
Bowl nearly two decades previous, suddenly adopted a policy
designed to msure a subpar and •
perhaps disastrous performance.
Sure enough. the Rams came
out in a cautious mode and the
defense-minded Bucs proceeded
to eat their lunch . Even as this
cunous scenario unfolded FoxTV announcers John Madden. former coach of the Super Bowl
champion Oakland Raiders, and
Pat Summerall. erstwhile Ne\\
York. Giants defensi\ e end and
placement specialist, could only
wonder aloud as to what was tak
ing place before their very eyes.

•
This wcek<.'nd will he the first
weekend since the sea~ on stm ted at
Daytona in February that the
Winston Cup teams '"ill h;\\c .m
open date It couldn' t have come at
a better potnt 10 the schedule after
.. two
crash-filled
\\Ccks
at
Martinsville and Talladega.
Martinsville saw the caution flag
wave a total of 17 tunes. but
Talladega onl) had four cautions
with just one betng the result of an
accident. That one acctdent on lap
139 involved a total of 17 cars and
may have alrcred the outcome of the
race.
"The" acddcnt came as no surprise to anyone that '"as aware of
the latest rule changes that
NASCAR had imposed for this
• restrictor plate race . It didn't really
matter where you ~tarLcd the race.
because the latest attempts b)
NASCAR to improve the competition at Talladega and Daytona had
just about every car in the lield on
equal ground with each other.
The discussions have already
begun on whether or not the rules
be which the DieHard 500 ''as run
under i~ the ans\\ er fur rac111g on a
rc:stnctor pla!c track. I guess you
ha' c to really look at \\hat penpk
want in a race, whether It ts on a
restrictor plate track or any other of
the tracks. thar makes up !he schedule
F1rst and foremost the fans and
compctttors wanr to see teams hetng
able to compete for the kad.
Talladega provided that as the lead
changed hands '27 times among 10
drivers. I know the argument is that
you could only take the lead if you
had help from a drafting partner, but
didn't the suspense of whether or
not someone was going to go with a
dnver when he pulled out to make a
pass for the lead figure into the
excitement level of the event?
Second, everyone wants to see
side b) side racing not only for the
lead but throughout the field . Not
only did we see side by side racin!;.
at times we saw them five \\ tdc
down the backstretch. It seemed
that every position was being challenged on every lap as driver after
driver pulled out in hopes of catching a draft and movmg on up 1n the
field.
Third, let the events on p1t road
figure into the equation on who
wins. With long periods of green
Hag racmg the majority of pi! st1>ps
came under the green nag which
shifted the focus from the driver to
the calls that were being made by
the crew chiefs. Just decidmg the
number of tires to put on during a
stop wasn't enough. the crewchtefs.
Just deciding the number of tire.; to
pUI on during a stop wa-;n't enough,
the crew duef had to make sure that
de.11 \\as made with nnothercre\1.chlcf to hring Ius dnvet 111 on the
same lap so they hoth could draft
back up to the lead pack .
Fourth. this i~ definitely more
from the lan perspective than the
driver. Lei's have a little paint being
ruhbed and a few fender:. banging
to make sure the race docsn 't fa)J
into a pattern of JUst following the
leader. The first three suggestions
made in this eolumn almost assured
!hat the fourth suggestton would
take place. The on!) difference in
the amount of paint rubbing at
Martinsville last week and
Talladega was that at Talladega it
was done all at once and
Martinsville spreads its carnage
over 500 laps .
If I could add one more suggestion to NASCAR for rcstnctor plate
racing. it y.,ould be to somehow
give the drt\Cr enough of an engine
that he would be ahlc to pas~ using
that ol' slingshot method made
famous by David Pearson. Cale
Yarborough and Richard Petty. I
really believe that NASCAR would
love to see that just as much as we
would.
1 he problem is that nght now
there just isn't a way to do that
unless you allow the speeds to inch
closer to the 200 mph barrier. Most
dri.vcrs seem to agree that the
speeds don't need to go any higher.
but they all want to have some more
accelerator left when it ts time to
make a pass.
I'm sure NASCAR has already

I love bass lishing 10 the summer
months. Il is probably my favorite
time of the year to be sticking big
bucketrnouths and struggling to get
them back to the boat. The reason r
get so enthusiastic about catchmg
bass at this time of the year has to
do with patterns that fish get into.
For me. I find that summer IS the
time of the year that you can actual
I} somewhat rely on a pattern for
locating these fhh. Once you cslab·
Jish what fish are doing on a t·ertain
lake you can be pretty darn certain
that they \\ill be domg the same
thing tomorrow.
When 11 comes to establishmg
patterns for summer bass I lind that
weedlines are about as consistent as
you can get. Fishing wecdlincs is
also about as easy a pattern as you
will find.
When it comes to weedlincs,
most anglers immediately think of
the deep weedline and with good
reason. In my opinion the deep
weedlinc is the interstate of tht
fishing world. h is the main travel
route for fish as they move about
the lake.
Over the years I have caught
more fish on the deep weedlinc than
on any other location in a lake. r am
not just talking bas!> either. The
d.eep weediine wHi attract neariy all
spec1es of fish that are found in a
lake. This includes baitlish and
predators alike.
When referring to the deep
weedline it is important to point out
that it is more than just the one edge
•
small area. This high-speed action
is what makes this summer pattern
so darn much fun.
There is another ma.Jor weedline
on lakes that is often forgouen. It is
the inside weedline. TI1is is probably one of the most underutilized
fishing areas we have.
Like the deep weedline. the
inside weedline is a major route for
fish travel. Although it isn't a pronounced edge on all lakes, where it '
ts prevalent you should take the
lime to fish it.
TI1e plastic wornl IS still my
favorite choice of lures for fishing
the inside wecdline for bass, but
!here are other baits thai work
extremely well. The standard spinnerbait will attract a lot of attention.
but I feel that the shallow running
Husky Jerk is a better alternative.
r find that the bass usmg the
inside weedline will be quite tight
to the edge. Where the deep weedline w1ll hold bucketmouths just
above and just below it, it seems
that the inside weedline is a more
precise location. Fish on the inside ~
weedline tend to be more scattered,
too.
Consistency is a great thing in
fishing. It is what allows you "to
duplicate activity day after day. I
believe that the summer period is
the most consistent time for locat·
ing largemouth bass. I also believe
that the weedlincs are your best bet
for sticking good fish on a consistent basis.

where plant growth stops. That is
the prcc1se locat1on of the deep
weedline. However, the deep weedline fishing zone must be considered to be the area just into the
weeds as well as the open area adjacent to the v.ccdline on the deep
side.
During the summer months, bass
love to set up housckeepmg on the
deep \\ccdline. By concentrating
your clfort., on thts part of the lake
you Will find ;;cattered fish as \\ell
as schoob of lhh.
Most of the t1me you can usc
bas1c structural elements such as
points and turns to help you locate
the bass that arc u'mg the deep
wecdhne. There arc t1me<:, however, \\hen fish will be m a locatton
that docs not seem hke an) th1ng
special to us on the surface. These
out-of-thc-ordmary Jocauons ~an
only be found by some extensi\e
searchmg.
The best way I know of locating
fish on a deep weedline is with a
plastic wonn. TI1e plastic wom1 can
be fished on ajighead. with a Texas
rig. or a Carolina rig. The Carolina
rig actually works quite well for
trolling plastic worms. When fish·
ing a jagworm I prefer to use a louror six-inch worm. With a weedlcss
Texas rig I usually use a se\Cn-inch.
I ha\e abo, come to believe that the
scent enhanced Pov.erBnus will not
only gel more strikes, but the fish
\\ill hold onto them longer.
The schools of fish you find on
the deep weedline can sometimes
be quite large and it is possible to
catch many fish out of one very
a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

Heading into its 30th year, MSAA is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to meeting the day-to-day
needs of people with multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often crippling disease of the
central nervous system (CNS) that affects an estimated
350.000 Americans.
Individuals with MS experience a loss of myelin,
insulation, which covers the nerves. Myelin is then
replaced with scar tissue. This scar tissue ··short-circuits" messages traveling between the brain and body.
The result is a loss of body function that can produce symptoms such as blindness, loss of coordination
and balance. and impaired mobility.
At present. there is no known cause or cure for MS.
The disease. however, is not fatal, contagious, or
hereditary.

THE EASTER STORY,
ALWAYS NEW
by Aileen Hall
Contributing Writer
The Easter season is here again and churches throughout the land are plannmg services to commemorate the greatest story of all time, the victory of the resurrection
from death and the grave. It is the hope of the world for all who claim it.
In celebration of this special holy season. Calvary Southern Baptist Church tn Betc;y
Layne is presenting a musical drama titled "Messiah, True and Faithful." Two performances have been scheduled for Friday and Saturday evenings, April 21 and 22. at 7
p.m.
Led by Music Director Susan Wallen, the concert will be given by a 20-member
choir and a 13-member drama team. The songs will feature soloists Candice
Blackburn. Christy Hall, Todd Goodman and Pastor Troy Tackett.
The drama team. led by Bill and Dottie Allen, compares two people from two time
frames, both searching for meaning in life and finding it only comes one way- &J. .IIIII!,...-;:o-through Jesus Christ.
In sharing her excitement about this program, Susan Wallen said, "In early January,
I mentioned to my pastor that I would like to have an Easter program different from Dottie Allen represents childhood friend
the usual Sunday morning music of the past. When I saw he shared my enthusiasm, I of Jesus, while Bill Allen portrays pre, - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - , began to search."
sent day seeker.
"After previewing my 13th program
and realizing the days were slipping by. I began to wonder if I would find it. Then two
more came in the mail and, as I listened to the demo tape of 'Messiah.' I realized this
was the one God had sent for us.''
The choir didn't exactly share her enthusiasm at first. The songs. though beautiful.
were all new and some rather difficult. There was some apprehen~ion that they couldn't learn to do it well enough in the time allotted for practice. The drama team had to
be chosen and given their parts to learn.
Whatever anyone else did. Susan worked doubly hard for she had separate practices
for the two groups. But any doubts she had were erased when she saw, at the first practice, that Bill and Dottie Allen, who had the longest and most focal speaking parts. had
committed it all to memory and gave an almost flawless performance in t11atliN try.
Progress for the choir came a little slower, for there were at least a dozen new songs
to learn and the voices had to be matched to the different parts. But Susan was pleased
when she overheard the church song leader, James Trimble. comment to another choir
member, "Isn't this the greatest thmg!"
In his comments, Pastor Troy Tackett said. "Easter is the central event in the
Cluisitian faith. Every Sunday is a celebration of that first Easter morning: however.
we sometimes seem to take it for granted. But I believe that, after much prayer and the
presentation of this program, we will have implanted in our minds the changes that
Choir director Susan Wallen and Pastor
Troy Tackett prepare for Easter pro- take place in hearts and lives from knowing about an empty cross, an empty tomb and
an occupied throne. Come worship with us."

For nearly 15 years, folks have
been sending us old-time cures for
use in our weekly one-panel cartoon,
"Poison Oak and Counoy Folk."
Many who have submitted them,
especially the older folks, insist that
they themselves are living proof that
the old remedies really do work,
because their parents had treated
them by these methods when they
were children.
Although we can't personally
vouch for each and every cure. I
thought it might be fun to share
them. (Incidentally, "fun" is the key
word here. We're not playing doctor,
so don't take all this stuff too seriously).
Anyway, for better or worse, here
goes.
Jf you get stung by a bee, rub an
aspirin on the sting, or, cover it with
a poultice made with honey and dirt
from a mud dauber's nest Or, you
might oy rubbing tobacco juice on it
Tn a pinch, a pinch of "used" snuff
might do.
I don't know if people have boils
in 2000 like they did in the 1940s,
but I sure had them on a regular
basis. Here's what some readers have
suggested over the years to cure
them.
Fresh cow manure will draw boils
to a head: so will the lining from a
raw egg: so will a slice of countrycured fat meat or a thin slice of raw
potato. Finally, boils will heal if you
swallow a teaspoon of sorghum
mixed with sulfur for njne consecutive morning:-..
Some home-made cure~; for
toothaches have included holding an
ice cube berween your thumb and
forefinger; placing a piece of garlic
in the cavity of the tooth: or. preventing toothaches in the first place by
always cutting your fingernails on
friday.
For headaches, readers have suggested none of that 1.vimpy "taketwo-aspirins-and-call-me-in-themorning'' stuff. A couple of cures for
the age-old affliction, include putting
a buzzard's head on a string and
tying it around your neck. (No time
limit was given for wearing such a
neclclace). Then another lady suggested that headaches could be
avoided altogether by always sleeping with your head toward the east.
We must have received a blue
million
cures for warts. including
1
covering them olten \vith a paste
made from vinegar and baking soda.
Also. warts can be cured by rubbing
them with dew from a rotten stump:
or by putting castor oil on them
every night before going to bed.
Leg cramps. according to our
readership, can be cured by putting a
cake of Ivory soap in your bed, or by
tying a string soaked with turpentine
around each leg.
And finally, when you hear the
lirst whippoor.vill of the season, if
you'll get down and roll over nine
times. your rheumatism will go
away.
Do this m private. though, or people are apt to think you're crazy as a
I loon.
Make your cake and eat it (a little it), too

Lifestyles Editor
Jeanie McKenzie pours tomato soup Into pot to prepare turkey chill
recipe, with assistance from Nancy Sieger. They were participants in
the first week of the six-week Super Pantry program at Auxier
Learning Center last Thursday.
Don't think this is JUSt a chance for a "ladies
day out.''
Although it is fun, and although homemakers
can have a good time. Super Pantry is a program
that can change lives.
About 15 women ~tartcd the program last
week at the Auxier Lifelong Learning Center.
They're meeting each Thursday for six. weeks to
learn how to prepare nutritious meals on a limited budget.
The program is sponsored by God's Pantry.
the umbrella organization in Lexington that helps
to stock food pantries in 48 counties. which, in
tum, distribute food to low-income people.
Assisting locally are the God's Pantry in
Prestonsburg, Floyd County Cooperative
Extension and the Auxier center.
Peggy Shugars of the Lexington operation
said the Super Pant!) includes not only cooking
lips, but also ''life sk1IIS lessons" to help participants improve their lives and the lives of their
children.
Last Thursday, Theresa Scott, county exten·
sion agent. talked with participants, who were
referred by social agencies, about nutrition With
visual aids. she illustrated the major food groups
and gave pointers on how to eat health)'.
One of the top foods she pitched turns out to
be among the cheapest. "Soup beans are one of
the best foods our grandparents gave us," Sco11
said.
The Appalachian staple, she said, has ''tiber,
trace minerals and protein."
Scott's approach is not to deprive people of
foods they like. but to make them more aware or
what a healthy body needs and to eat in moderation.
"If your family is eating one meal a day with
a generous helping of meat, that's all you need."
she said. "We do not need to have meat \\ ith
every meal.
"Most of what we need comes from plants,"
she s:.ud. "We need to reduce animal p10ducts."
She also encouraged the use of milk and milk
product._, but she cautioned that homemakers
should '"try to get the famil) away from whole
milk" and into using low fat products.
Scott also advised mothers to wean their children from two much soda pop..\ healthy :.ubstitute. she sa1d, is to mix eight ounces of apple
juice with eight ounce~ of cold water. "ll tastes
good. it's less sweet. and it's more nutritious than
pop."
A food regime with lots of fruit and ~egeta
bles. generous portions of bread, rice and pasta
and milk products and \\ nh kss meat will lead to
improved health, she ~aid.
'"1f you folio\\ this guide. the chances of colon
cancer and heart disease are great!)' lessened."
She added that "m eastern KentuCk). we have
the.; highest rate of diabetes in the country, and
our children are getting higher choleMerollevels

Hospital and in the community to celebrate the weU-being of the health care
facility that ha<> been serving the well and the sick on Left Beaver for 45 years.
Administrators. staff and community members gathered on April 12 to mark

we sene." Hanson said.

high-tech surroundings," he added.

A business plan generally
mcludes an exeGutive summary,
analysis of the industry and competition, mformation about the management. and financ1al Information
including projected financial statements.
The execuuve summary should
he a summary of your request. In a
briet statement, describe the
amount needed. what you mtend to
do wJth it, why this will be good for
your company, how you will pay it
back. when you will pa)' it back and
the collateral available.
Also, gt,·e a qu1ck snapshot of
your company. Descnhe your busi·
ness in simple tcrrns and language
Another Important part of the
busmcss plan 1s an indusrry analysis. An analysis of your industry
and competition indicates that you
have done your planning and
research. In vcstigatc your market
thoroughly, and pii!SCnt facts. Usc
'en fiable figures Irom annual
reports. mdustry associations. and
trade group~. Identify what makes
vour bustness different from similar
hus1nesses '' ith similar products.
lnformatton on the munagcment
of the company is u major concern
to the lender. The lender needs to
bdieve that vou have what ll takes
to run the b'usincss profitably and
that you can bc trusted. In rhis secliOn describe the org,tniZUtiOnal
struo.;turc ol the compan).

the ~trcn!!ths, weaknesses. and personality ~f the owner Describe who
owns the compan}. Ident1fy the key
personnel. their functiOn and major
areas of contnbution to profitable
operations.
The financ1al information is to a
large degree historical. This section
should contam at least the past
three years' income statements,
balance sheets. and cash flows. If it
has been more than 60 days since
your financial year-end, provide
rntenm financ1al statements.
Also, include the past three
years' business tax returns and personal tax returns of all stockholders. Most financial institutions use
credit-scoring software programs
that analyze your past performance,
examine your balance sheet and
mcome statement, and project your
future.
The lender wants to know how
much of your money and that of
any other stockholders IS at risk in
th~ company. He wants to know
how rapidly your company earned
profits in the pill>t and what was
done ..., ith those profits. You must
thoroughly understand the financial
statements yourself. If the data 1S
not comparable from one period to
another, you need to mclude perti·
nent footnotes explaining the varialiOns.
There arc many components that
go into the approval process of a
commercial loan. both tangible and
mtangible. The financial institution's decision is based on risk. The
objective of the prospective borrower is to lower the level of risk
presented to the lender Successful
borrowers arc able to do that and
anuc1patc the lender's questions
and concerns.

Kentucky needs phone numbers. Numbers for the kids, numbers for the office, numbers for pagers,
faxes, and cell phones. And don't forget about computer modems. Each one needs a number. and there are only
so many to go around. It's just a mathematical fact. So to open up a few million more. Lexington and northern
Kentucky are getting a new area code: 859. If your area code is currently 606 and your phone number begins
with any of the prefixes at left, 859 will be your new area code.
On April 1. 2000, a portion of Kentucky will be assigned the new 859 area code. Then. through
September 30, 2000, you can dial606 or 859 to make long distance calls to and within the new 859 area. After

area. Local calling rates will not be affected by this change.

Please make a note of 859 and begin preparing for the change. You may need to reprogram
telecommunications equipment like speed dialers, fax machines, PBXs - virtually anything that dials numbers
automatically (consult your vendor if you're not sure). If your area code is changing, be sure to let friends,
relatives, and appropriate-people know.

The
Floyd County
Times---
-Letters t~eEditorSenate was right; most of it was pork
Editor:
The front page article. "County could lose $7 million in state budget hattie," in the March 26 Flo)d
County Times by Ralph Davis. and the guest column,
"Rcpublic:an~ gulled needed services. not pork." by
Mr. Greg Stumbo from page A4. should explain to
any literate person why the Senate cut $178 million
from the state budget. If the rc't of the state budget
contained such elitist pork barrel projects. as did
Flo}d Count} 's. defeat of the budget was ine\itable.
whl!ther justilled or not.
Let us e:\aminc Lhe $7 million allocated to Floyd
County in the state budget. From the $7 million. $3
million went to the Prestonsburg hilltop golf course,
$2 million went to the Mountain A11s Center and $1
million went to a science building at Prestonsburg
Community College. The Flo)d Count) Fi~cal Coun.
based on a request b) County Judge-Fxecutive Paul
Hunt Thompson. was to receive I million.
Simple math tells u" that the cit) of Prestonsburg
wrts to recei\ e $6 million of the county's total $7 million. This $6 million repre ..ents H6 Jll:rcl'nt of the total
budget for the city and 14 pcrt·ent of the total for budget for the county.
Remembering that the City or Prestonsburg was to
get 86 percent of the total ~ounty's money in the state
budget, let us consider the population ol Prestonsburg
and rloyd County. Floyd County has officially
claimed a populatiOn of 43,000, while Prc~ton..,burg
has about 3.000. So the county-l'ity population wtio is
40.000 to 3.000. "hich gi,es Prcston<;burg allout 7
percent of the county's population. Yt•t, the cit} \\a ... to
receive 86 percent of the state', budget for Flo)d
County.
State Rep. Stumbo stated, and we quote him verbatim. "When the budget was put together this session, I worked hard 111 good faith to make sure the
greatest needs of my communities were met. ·•
Arc \\C to believe that Mr. Stumbo ~onsidcrs the
hilltop golf course and the Mountain Arts Center to be
the most significant problems facing Flo) d Count)?
How imponant is the golf cour~c to ann-al family. Jiving on a putrid creek:. without potable \\ater ~md "ith
an impassable road in the wintenime'' Or a family
man \\ ithout a job?
The Mountain Ans Center 1s a brilliant concept.
but a dead horse economically so long as it is limited
tn a cap<K'ity of I ,000 seats. It will remain a dead
horse until someone wakes up and increases Lhe seating capacity to 8.000 to I0.000 scats. The $2 million
in the 'tate budget for the MAC would simply prolong the dead horse's funeral.
The hilltop golf course will. beyond a doubt. equal
the sterling economic perfom1an~c of the Mountain
An' Center. I did an econometric model of the golf
course 'c' eraI >cars ago and projected that it would
break e\cn about 85 percent of the time And this
good fortune was heavily dependent on the weather.
As a source of jobs, or as a force for economic development, the golf course seems a failure before the
fiN tee off. Job-wise. the golf course will employ
about :!5 people at the minimum wage. These people
will work about 32 weeks out of a 52-week year. for
a total year·-. wage of about $6,800. It would require
fi\e adults "orking full time at the golf cour...e to earn
enough to equal the federal pmcny income level for
a famil) of four during the 32-v.eeks they are
employed. After that. food stamps and unemployment!
The coal severance tax money is supposed to be
retumed to the counties for road construction and for
economic: de\elopment. The hilltop golf course and
the Mountain A~ Center are far removed from a concept of economic development. Both arc or will be
economic losers \\ hich will fold at some future economic crisis. Someday. the sewn stan ing cows \\ill
come out of the river and devour the se\cn fat CO\\ s
on the bank. And all the grant money will dr} up and
these ill-concervcd pork-barrel projects will wither on
the \inc and blow away.
The only legitimate economic project on that
failed state budget. at least for l-loyd County. was the
$1 million for waterline-. requested by the fiscal court.
The golf course money and Lhe MAC money were
pure pork to bail out Prestonsburg on two ill-concched. failing project....

From the
mouths of
babes
Sthool board members were given a
good lecture from one of their students
this week. but there were lessons for all
of us in and behind eighth·grader
Brittany Mitchell's words.
Mttchell attended the board meeting
to get the chance to tell those charged
with providing her an education about
the shortcomings in her schooL She
described deplorable conditions at John
M. Stumbo Elementary and. though she
will no longer attend the school after this
year. asked the hoard to do something
about them for the sake of those coming
behind her.
For me. at least. Mitchell's words
touched a nerve. For years. we've heard
about the neccssit) of providing our children with a !>tate-of-the-an education in
order to prepare them for the jobs of the
future. We've been told we need to
ime~t in computers for their clas~rooms
and try new methods of teaching.
I have no doubt that all of that is true.
But how can we accomplish those goals
if we c<mnot even provide the bare
necessities. such as a roof which does
not leak'?
or course, such Lhings rake time to
fix. Not nearly as much time as it took
for them to get in such sorry shape, but
time nonetheless.
In this age of school consolidation, I
wonder if there ever c.omes a time when
bigger is no longer better. not so much in
terms of the schools themselves. but in
the management of them. In other words,
can the monolithic Floyd County school
system ever work properly, or docs its
sheer size make it impossible to manage
effectively'?
After "o many negative stories in the
Lexington paper. the phrase "ninthlargest school distnct in the state" is
burned in my bram, and I suppose that is
where the t"o concepts were first linked.
But I'm not pulling this idea com
plctcly out of thin air. After three-andone-half years working in Johnson
County and watching how the two
school systems there not only work, but
thrive, 1t is impossible not to wonder if
there could be a correlation.
After all. ho" many regional and
state championships. both academic and
athletic. have come from that county in
the past 10 years'~ You couldn't count
them c\ en if) ou took off your socks and
shoe-;.
So I wonder what would happen in
Hoy~ County it we split our school sys-
tem 111to two.
For one thing. it would be much easier for administrators in each district to
pay attt•ntion to the needs of thc1r
schools, without being dtstrJctcd by
probk•ms 40 miles av.a}.
Would tho:rc be a duplication of services·> Cenainl). Would it cost more
mone)? Undoubtedly Would it result in
higher ta\es? Probahl> so.
But admmistration of each district
would <llso he easier. Problems wh1ch
arose in <'ne school could more easily be
nouceu, not to mention solved. hy halving the nurn~r of schools for which
admmistl a tors are responsible. Tax
monc), too. \\ould stay closer to home.
Would it worJ..? That's "hat 1 do not
know.
But it "oulu he more difficult for Lhc
needs of a school such as Stumbo to get
lost in till• fray.

BOARD APPROVES
PARTJCJPATJON JN
POWERBALL TV GAME SHOW
The KLC Board gave enthusiastic approval for the Kentucky
Lottery to participate in a
Powerball® TV game show that
offers a top prize of $1 million. The
- show could begin this fall if enough
members or the multi-state lottery
game decide to take pan.
The
M ulti-Statc
Lotter-..
Association. the group that operate~.;
Powerball® has contracted with
Jonathan Goodson Productions ol
Beverly Hills. California, to produce a weekly half-hour game show
for member states based on a new.
yet-to-be developed Powerball®
instant scratch-off game. The
Powerball® scratch-off game will
have a top prize of $25,000. Each
ticket will have a stub that can be
torn off and mailed to the Kentucky
Lottery for drawings to select contestants to appear on the game show
which will be taped at Universal
Studios in Orlando, Florida.
"This is taking the brand identify
of Powerball. America's most recognized lottery game. and expanding upon it:' KLC Sr. V.P. of
Marketing & Sales Steve Cascbcar
told the board and showing them a
demonstration tape of how the
game show will look.
"By partnering with the other
states in Powerball. we can create a
network quality game show that
Kentuckians will be able to participate in every week."
Each weekly show will feature
one contestant from each of the participating
Powerball®
states,
including Kentud..')'. Each state's
contestant who travels to Florida to
appear on the show will also be
playing to win cash prizes for up to
40 players back in thetr home state.
"When you watch a show II ke
"Who Wants to be a Millionaire"
you root for the contestant to win.
but you don't get anything for it,"
Casebeer said. "With the Powerball
TV Game Show. players at home
will be rooting for more than state
pride. Many of them wi II be rooting
to win cash of their own. depending
upon how well their share representative on the TV show does."
The Kentucky Lottery must now
await the decisiOns of other
Powerball® member states to see if
the show will move forward into
production. The participating states
will share production costs.
"We need at least 12 states to
participate," KLC President & CEO
Arch Gleason told the board "We
believe enough states will commit
so that we can move forward. We
will need to produce the Powerball
scratch-off ticket to go on sale this
summer in order to have a pool of
players for the f1rst game ~hO\\ '·

establish
faith
internal
auditor
position
by Dr. Dennis J. Prutow
Sterling. Kansas
The Kentucky Board of
Education voted recently to create
an internal auditor position to serve
as an independent arm of management for the Kentucky Department
of Education
The posiuon was approved by
the board at its meeting in
Owensboro upon the recommendation
of Interim
Education
Commissioner Kevin Noland.
The auditor will conduct toter
na1 audits of the Kentucky
Department of Education, ensure
compliance with laws and regulations and work to prevent abuses
and fraud.
''This is a proactive measure that
will prov1de ongoing internal oversight and help the department operate its fiscal and administrative
activities in a more efficient manner,'' sa1d Noland.
The internal auditor will report
to the Commissioner of Education
on a dail} basis and make periodic
reports to the Kentucky Board of
Education. The auditor \,\:ill analyze
the department's systems of internal control, verify the accuracy of
agency records. assess compliance
with the department's pohctes and
applicable laws and investigate any
abuse, illegal acts, errors, omissions or conflicts of interest.
The class1c Christian confession
is simple. "If you confess w1th your
mouth Jesus as Lord. and believe in
your heart that God raised Him
from the dead. you ,.. ill be saved"
(Romans 10:9). Jesus died and rose
again . He died as a sacrifice for
'ins. He rose from the gra' e as
proof His sacrifice was acceptable
to His Father. "When He had made
purification of sins. He sat dovvn at
the right hand of the Majest) on
high" (Hebrews 1:3).
The ri~en Christ appeared to
Paul on the Damascus road. From
personal experience. the apostle
understood. ''Whoever will call on
the name of the Lord will be saved"
(Romans I 0: 13). This is a quote
from the Old Testament. Joel 2:32.
It is reference to Jehovah. The
apostle Paul has no hesitation. He
applies to Jesus a verse in the Old
Testament that spectfically refers to
I
1 Jehovah.
Some consider this blasphemy
I When Jesu<; made the claim people
assaulted Him. ·'For a good work
we do not stone you. but for blas1 phemy: and because you. being a
man. make yourself out to be God''
(John I0:33 ).
The
claim
of
Class1c
Christianity remams the l'ame
Jesus is Lord. He is not stmply a
good man. He is not simply a
divine being. He is The Divine
Being. He is Immanuel. which
means ··God with us" (Matthew
1:23).

Betsy
Layne
stumbles
out of gate
by Ed Taylor
Sport.-; Editor
Softball is a game of defense as
well a-; offense. But there is one
phase of the game where there is no
defense and that is bases on balls.
The old saying. "Walks will come
back to haunt a pitcher,'' held true
when Magoffin County visited the
Betsy Layne Ladycats this past
Thursday night at the Allen Park.
Magoftin took advantage of some
very early wildness on the part of
starting pitcher Kim Tackett and
routed the host team. 22-10.
Betsy Layne fell to 1-l on the
season while Magoffin went to 2-0.
Tackett sun ived a shaky stan in
the first inning, getting out of a 2-1,
no out situation. But Betsy Layne
went down one, t\\ o, three in their
half of the first. although they did
take the ball well against Nikld
Love.
Tackett walked six batters in the
second inning when the Lady
Hornets scored three times to assume
a 3·0 lead.
Betsy Layne got two runs back in
the bottom of the second for a 3-2
margin. Tackett opened the Betsy
Layne second with a base hit and
Jenny Parsons followed with a single
to right center. Tabitha :vtitchell
\\alked to load the ba<>es. With one
out, New,ome lined a base hit to
centerfield, scoring Tackett and
Parsons. lbe Ladycal~ left two runners on ba<>e in the inning.
The pitching woes continued into
the third inning for Betc;y Layne. A
ha..e hll and three con.,ecutive walks
followed by a single accumulated
into five runs for the Lady Hornets
and an 8-2 game.
Betsy Layne got two of the runs
back in the bottom of the third inning
to trail 8-4 after three innings.
Magoftin busted the game open with
eight runs in the top of the sixth
inning that resulted in a merciful 2210 toss.
Devon Reynolds and Kim Tackett
each had three hito; in the game for
Beto;y Luyne. Denise Jones collected
two and Newsome had two safeties.
Tackett suffered the loss. Heather
Hamilton came on in relief for
Tackett in the third inning but failed
to get the Lady Hornet~ out.

Former Daredevil Steve Smith
recalls days at NC State

Now that the basketball season

he played for Pete Grigsby Jr. at
McDowell and Norm Slone at
State
Today. Smith operate-. his own
roofing business and contracting
firm.
He mowd back to Floyd Count)
after spending a long stint in North
Carolina, where he got in the contracting business.
Smith is one ot the few Floyd
CfUnty players who had a chance
to
play
011
a
National
Championship team. He played
along with the great David
Thompson on the NCAA championship team. Smllh said it was a
new experience for someone from
Aoyd Count).
"It was a nc\\ experience for me.
but when you are from Kentucky
you can be 6-10 and dominate in
the middle,'' 'aid Smith. "But when
you get to a place like North
Carolina State. everyone in the
f~nt court is 6-10."
Smith had the misfortune to play
behtnd All-American Tomm)
Burrellson at NC State.
"The guy I played behind was 74. When you sa) ) ou get n lot of
hardwood time. th~ hard\\ ood b
the bench," said Smith. "Tommy
was an All-American and he went
on to have a good pro career.
"I played with Da.,. id Thompson
during that time. He was the num·
ber one player in the world at that
time," said Smith.
'- After his playing days at NC
State, Smith ended up in Charloue
working. While there. he became a
season ticket holder for the new
Charlotte Homets NBA franchise
team.
''David (Thompson) came thl·re
to work at the time, working as a
spokesman for the Homets." said
Smith. ''He came out one time and
brought out the top player of the
game - Michael Jordan. Jordan
came out and told the kids about
w.hat a great athlete Thompson
s. They are a11 great people...
Smith ~aid there were adjustments he had to make when he
went from the high school level to
college.
"When you go to the college
level you don't ha\e someon~
telling you to do this or ) ou need to
do that," said Smith. The fonner
Daredevil said a good study habit
was a must in making a successful
tour through college
''If you don't h,t\e the mind~et
or good ~tud) ethics \\hen you go
to college. ch:111ces ate you won't
h~ve one after )OU get there," he
s~d. "No one is going to be there

good training habits:· Smith said.
"They figure, 'Hey, look, we are
giving you a scholarship and if you
don't care enough about it to get
yourself in shape and stay in shape
to play here. someone else wants
to"'
Smnh praised former Coach
Pete Grig~by Jr. for his condition·
ing program at McDowell and
''A
»'eek after
the season was
over, I started
playing basketball again, ''
Smith said
credits that program for seeing him
through college.
"If there \Vas one thing we had
was a good conditioning program,··
said Smith. "Greg Hopkins trans·
ferred from Huntington. West
Virginia (to North Carolina State)
and we were the best two conditioned athletes on State's team. For
two years we were the best. It took
me three years to lose the conditioning I got under Pete.··
While McDowell was a small
institution, Smith did not look at it
as such.
"It never felt like a small school
to me." he said. "Becau~e every
game we played in was a packed
house. It was elbow to elbow,
standing room only."
Smith said he regrets the game
today for the big players.
"There is not an official in the
game today \\ ho thinks that a big
man can block a shot without com·
mining a foul." ~aid Smith. "With
three officials, if a big man blocks
a shot. they say he had to foul '
Smtth said he averaged seven
blocks a game in high school tor
"everal seasons.
"But I fouled out a lot," he said.
"Same with Dan Hall at Betsy
Layne. I was probabl) two years
ahead of him and he had the same
problem."
Smith said he felt the game
today allow-. for more contact than
\\hl·n he played.
"I remember I would come in
every night and m) kidne) s \\OUid
be beat black and blue ~O\\. toda)
they allow much more contact."
said Smith.
Smith said had they allowed
such "rough-house basketball" in
his day. he would ha\ e been better
prepared for the college game.
"They allowed such play in college," he said. "When I got there I
was afraid to touch somebody."
Smith said too many teams are
more focused on offense.
··we had offensive plays we ran
but our mam game was defense,''
he said "South Floyd averaged this
) car what we did in 1971. But we
didn't to it with an offensive oriented team. We were delensive minded and we scored a lot of our points
off our defense. Defense was our
game."
Smith said he lived in the gymnasium when basketball season
\\as over.
''I played it 12 months out of the
year," he said. "M) dad was a coal
mmer (James Earl Smith). I would
get up every morning and go to the
g) m around I 0 a.m. Dad would go
to v. ork around 2:30p.m. He would
drop me a couple of sandwiches off
on his v. ay to work. He would
come in from work about midnight
or 1:30 a.m. and pick me up at the
gym. I would have been at the gym
all that time."
Dedication was the key to the
success and an education that
Smith ~ecured from wanting to
•mprove in his game.
''A week after the season was
over, I started playing basketball
again," he satd.

Pikeville allum in Final Four
It was a hot afternoon last summer, the
way they all seemed to be, blazing. inches-from-the-sun hot, when I was talking
with Donnie Jones.
Donnie and I \\ere cla~smates at
Pikeville College during his ~enior year.
and have maintained contact ever sinl'C,
through his days a~ an assistant at our
alma mater. and his period at Marshall.
and now his time at Florida. And that
afternoon as we stood in the gymnasium
of the Pikeville Area YMCA. Donnie
J~~es had thi\ to ~ay:
"We want to win a national championship. We're headed in the right directJon."
Saturday evening, Donnie Jonc~ and
the Honda Gators will try to take one
more giant leap toward their goal of a
national titk: 1 hey will meet the
University of Nnnh Carolina in the
national semifinals.
I reminded Jones of that when we
talked this week, and ~aid I had to wondet
if even he thought Jt could happen this
soon. "Well, I thought we had a chance,"
he said "We have a lot of young players,
and they had to gro\\ up. In that situation,
you never klto\\ what you'll get.
"But a~ the season \\ellt on. we did
g w up against "omc great oppo~ition,
and wound up tied for the Sf:.C title. We
stayed in the top I0 most of the season
until right at the end."

said former Pikeville Coach Marc
Comstock, who is now the head coach at
Emporia State (Kan.) University. "Donnie
is as Joyal as anybody you could ever be
around, and I'm sure that's one of the
things Coach Donovan saw in him.
"His next move will probably be to
move up there at Florida. if John
tPclphreyl mO\oes on. but he's paying his
dues right now and someday will be the
head coach at a major university with the
course he's on:·
Jones played his four seasons at
Pikeville unde1 current Marshall head
coach Greg White.
"Donnie is one of the finest young
gu)s I've ever had the opportunity to
coach or be around. He's like a brother to
me.'' o;aid White. ··He was my point guard
\\hen I started my coaching career there at
Pike\ ille, and even then. he was a fantastic leader.
"h doesn't surprise me at all that he's
having this success. He's a good-hearted
guy. as anyone who's been around him
knows. lie's a real people person. And
now. he's one of the bright young assistant
coaches in the coun!I)."
Wow. That' some heavy pmise from
two fine w;~;ociatcs. It would make a person thin!.: if the) liked him that much,
maybe his former teammates would be a
little jealouo•.
Not a chance.
'Tm not surprised at all that Donnie's
having th1s kmd of success," said Todd
May, the 1982 Mr. Basketball who played
with Jones at Pikeville. "He's a quality
person who has a lot going for him."
Jones still maintams contact with many
people he met during h1s days in Pikeville,
and \\ill return to tov. n June 15-17 to run
a camp.
"It was' incredible:· he satd of
Pikeville. "1 wouldn't change anything
about the day<; we had there."
He had quite a career here for the
Bears. According to his bio. he set school
records for assists in a game with 21, -;eason (276) and career (513). and as a senior
was second i11 the country in assi"ts, averaging 10.7 per game.
But nov.. all his attention is focused
squarely on the Final Four.
"You look at the tough first game we
had wllh Butler (\\On on a lasH.econd
shot by sophomore Mike Miller), and then
we played lllin01s. Duke and Oklahoma
State
"Now we play the Untversity of '-rorth
Carolina. so we've played some of the
most historic program~; in the countrv in
this tournament.''
•
No\\, there arc only four teams remaining, as Michigan State and Wisconsin, two
Big Ten schools, Jlllll the Gators and Tar
Heels in Indianapohs this weekend.
And for Jones. it's a dream come true.
"It's been like a fairy tale."
Doctor: "Follow it'' ith your eyes ... ~II right, oow
close your eyes and touch your nose ...
Patton's \\avering finger misses the mark.
Doctor (to the team trainer): "I lis puptls arc
unequal in l>i~e. Indicates internal bh.:eding. Get an
ambulance out here. And hurry!"
It was Patton's fourth severe concussion. He
would suffer another betorc finally retiring after 12
seasons in the weekend wars.
Willie Lanier (middle linebacker, Kansas City
Chiefs): "1 attacked somebody head first and I took
the punishment. r was out cold on the field and didn't
wake up for 45 minutes I had double' ision and spent
a week in the Mayo Clink being tc<;ted and a lot
longer than that worrying if I'd ever be right again."
Matt Snell (running back. New Yorli: Jets): "I separated my ribs four times. The doctor was reluctant to
give me a shot in any mo\ing joint because of my
previous injuries. But the rib was slipping a little bit
and I knew I couldn't go without the shot. He gave it
to me and I went, I could stand the hits ..
Tommy Nobis (middle lineback, Atlanta F-alcons):
"You've got to be able to play with injuries. Every
time you get hit, you know there's going to be pain.
It's like an electric shock. But you learn to take it.
You know you're going to have it, but you al<;o kno\\
it's not forever.''
Joe Namath (quarterback. New York Jets): ··Going
up and down stairs was a problem for me once the
season was under\\ay. Even walking bothered me.
But it s something you accepted. You sec I loved the
game. Basically. it was my whole life. So I ended up
playing again. I realized how much football meant to
me.''
Buck Buchanan (defenstve tackle, Kansas City
Chiefs): "The toughest guy I ever knew was Shel
Hendrick, a middle linebacker with the Chiefs. One
time his thumb was almost tom off. He ran over to the
bench and said, 'Hey straighten this (bleep) out and
tape it so I can get back 1n this game.· Another time
he had an operation on his rectum in the middle of the
week and then played that weekend. He was a real
wild man"
And) Russell (outside linebacker. Pittsburgh
Steelers)· "The fear football players have 1s not the
fear of pain. but the fear that an injury will keep them
from doing their job. In football, your career can be
wiped out in one second. If )OU can't do your job,
you're through. That'-; real fear."
Dick Butkus (middle linebacker. Chicago Bears)·
''For two years I couldn · t practice because my knees

BASSMA'ITER MegaBucks tournament on
Sunday, two winners emerged from one of
professional fishing's biggest events.
Texan Alton Jones won the MegaBucks competition
in record fashion. But he had to share some of the
spotlight with BASS~!ER Top 150 rookie Tim
Horton of Alabama, who clinched the coveted BASS
Angler of the Year title with a fifth.
place finish in this. the next-to-last
event of the season.
Jones, 37, finished off the other nine
finalists with a MegaBucks record
five-bass catch of 24 pounds, 3 ounces

like most of the finalists, Jones
targeted bedding bass that were
moving up to the shallow buck brush. His winning lures
were a Lake Fork Tackle Trophy Tube and a Bomber Fat

Spider\\ ire SuperMono.
California's Aaron Martens was third (33-6), followed
by Rob Kilby of Arkansas (31-14) and Horton (:·H·8).
Horton won the biggest prize of all - the Angler of the
Yt•ar title. With one Top 150 tournanwnt remaining,
Horton, '27, "hose worst finish this season W"dS a 38th
place. has a 4G point lead over Californian Skeet Reese.
Under BASS rules, the pros can throw out one
tournament. so Horton's finish in the Alabama Top 150
event on l..ake Wheeler. Ala., May 7-9 is irrelevant
Congratulations to a super young man and the leader
of a new breed of pros who are going to take this sport to
another level.

Fishing the Big
roponents chan1pion it as the perfect sport- a
low-cosllow·impact, high-energy dash
through the great outdoors that burns away
stress and calories in nearly equal amounts.
It's cross-country skiing, a.k.a. Nordic
skiing, older and less ce~ebrated than i.ts
downhill sibling, but no less a passaon for enthuSiasts
here and abroad.
Chances are, you're not one of them.
Why? Perhaps gravity is to blame. As they say, what
goes up must come down, and what's already down
doesn't need to go anywhere. So, while our friends at If
Aspen Mountain simply allow the force of gravity to drive
them forward, Nordic skiers must call upon hardier
methods of self-propulsion- i.e., muscular exertionto move about The implications of this distinction have
in many respects made downhill skiing the runaway
leader in a 50-plus-year race to win the hearts and
pocketbooks of swooshers worldwide.
But all that may be changing.
•cross-country attracts everyone. from children
through adults and into the senior ranks. I think more
people are beginning to recognize that now," says jean
Isaksen. presidt>nt of the Cleveland·based Ohio Nordic
Ski Club. "I know a lot of retirees who have taken it up.
There's even a 79-year·old woman who I see doing it
almost every day during the winter months here."
f
History has proved that no one is ever too old or
young to crosx-ountry ski. In fact, the father of the
modern movement in North America, one Norwegianborn Hennann •jackrabbit" Smith-Johanssen, was
known to have laced up the boards well beyond his 1OOth
birthday. And while his brethren throughout Scandinavia
have made Nordic skiing an integral means of transport
since prehistoric times. the sport is enjoyed today by
families with toddlers, senior citizens and competitive
racers.
n all, 4 million Nordic skiers take to U1e snow each
year in the United States. Of those. 52 percent are
women, and 45 percent of the skiers are between the
ages of 35 and 54. Fresh air and camaraderie aside, few
physical activities can rival its cardiovaS(.·ular and
,_
muscular benefits. Skiing at a moderate pace. a 170.
pounder can burn nearly 800 calories per hour, resulting
in improved circulation, lower blood pressure and toning
for every major muscle group. In contrast, that same
person jogging at a similar speed burns almost 100 fewer
calories.
Besides the physical benefits, Nordic skiing's most
tangible selling points may be affordability and
accessibility. Today's equipment boasts dramatic design
and performance improvements over equipment sold
only recently, and veterans like Isaksen estimate a good
starter package of skis, boots, poles and bindings at
between $200 and $250. Currently, there are more than
500 designated Nordic ski areas in the U.S. and Canada
with groomed trails, at which alklay passes average
about $11.
As with most new endeavors, beginners are wise to
invest in a lesson. A typical90-minute session averages
about $15, and many Nordic ski areas offer packages that
include rental equipment. a one- to two-hour lesson, and
a trail pass for betwe-en $25 and $35.
Once Nordic fundamt'ntals are understood and
practiced, skiers can use the traditional Mdiagonal stride"
technique on groomed runs. or opt for the newer, more
strenuous ·skating" method, a favorite of racers that
generates greater speed but demands signifi('3.1lt)y more
effort and exp<>rtise. Those still needing the proverbial
Mcarrot on a stick" as an incentive to hit the trails may
want to consider the growing trend of"inn·to-inn" skiing,
an activity in which the ends- i.e., a warm fireplace and
gounnet meals- could likely justify the mt>ans.

"I knew it was a good car,
and I got it qualified good, and
it was strong in the last
practice," Marlin said. "I knew
we had a good shot at winning
the race. I knew you had to be
patient and dodge the bullets,
and I knew. once I got it to the
front, I'd probably be OK."
CRAFTSMAN TRUCK SERIES
BAKERSFIELD. Calif. - Mike
Wallace became the second

at Mesa Marin Raceway
several hours after older
brother Rusty won the Winston
Cup race at Bristol.
Mike Wallace also took the
point lead away from Andy
Houston, driving a Ford to

Tony Stewart, right, chats with his crew.
By M onte Dutton
NASCAR Th1s Week
Tony Stewart, coming off the best rookie
season 1n NASCAR history, hopes to contend
for the Winston Cup championship this year.
Stewart has posted top-five finishes in
three of the season's first six events, but a
next-to·last (42nd) finish at Bristol dropped
h1m to 12th in the season point standings.
At Richmond last September, Stewart won
for the first time and became the first rookie
winner in 12 years. He followed up with two
more victories at Phoenix and Homestead
near the end of the season.
Stewart also is a former champion of the
Indy Racing League and once started on the
pole for the Indianapolis 500. He became the
first driver ever to complete the Indy 500 and
the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte on the same
day in 1999, but he will not attempt to
complete that doubleheader again this year,
preferring instead to concentrate on his
NASCAR efforts.
Homet own: Grew up in Columbus and
Rushville, Ind.
Age: Turns 29 on May 20
Car: No. 20 Home Depot Pontiac Grand
Prix, owned by Joe Gibbs
Career Statistics: 40 starts, 3 wins, 15
top-five finishes, 23 top-10 finishes, 2 poles,
almost $4 million in career earnings
Firsts: Start (Feb. 14, 1999, at Daytona),
pole (April 18, 1999, at Martinsville), win
(Sept. 11, 1999, at Richmond)
What was the key to your rookie success?
"The most important aspect was that I was
very, very fortunate to have a chance to drive
for a car owner like Joe Gibbs and have a
crew chief like Greg Zipadelli and a teammate
like Bobby Labont e. When I look back on the
1999 season, I really think I was the weakest
point and that my team was what really made
the season successful.''
How were you able to handle the attention
that surrounded your first season in
NASCAR? "I had a lot of help there, too. I
think the most important thmg is to be true
to yourself, make decis1ons that you think are
the right ones, and not dwell on things you
can 't control. I think it's important to be
yourself, and if people don't like that. there's
not hing you can do about it. People have
every right to think what they want. so
there's no use losing sleep over it."
Why did you make the move to NASCAR?
"I think the biggest thing was that racing in
the Winston Cup Series is a full-time job. The
season is 34 races long, and that appealed
to me because I love driving race cars. and
where I had been (in the IRL), the season
was just 11 races."
Jeff Gordon vs. Steve Park's pit crew
According to Gordon, the Park crew was leaving the
replaced r ight-rear tire out on pit road during virtually
every stop, and when Gordon finally ran into it as he
exited the pits, it probably cost him a victory at Bristol,
where he led 225 laps but had to settle for eighth
place.
NASCAR This Week's Monte Dutton gives his opinion:
"Gordon is not the only driver who believes other pit
crews are leaving tires on pit road as a strategic move
to prevent other cars from beattng them out of the pits.
The ultimate responsibility for policing pit road,
however, lies with NASCAR."
Ford, 127.417 mph, March
27, 1999
Notable: Mark Martin has won
two of the three previous
events here, with Dale
Earnhardt Jr. scoring in 1998.

... Jeff Green's third-place

Letters From Our Readers
Dear N AS CAR This Week,
I can't help wondering w hy
Dale Jarrett wasn't penali zed i n
the Daytona 500 for knocking
Johnny Benson out of the race
by hitting him in the rear.
W.E. Strohl
Perryville, Pa.
This matter comes up qu ite
often. so here goes. I n general ,
when one car nudges another
one. thus ·•moving the other car
up a groove" as a means of getting past, it is considered an act
of skill. Slamming into another
car from behind, and as a result,
causing the car in front to crash,
is considered an act of unreasonable aggression .
Are these judgment calls?
In many instances. yes.
It would be impossible to
write a rule that would take all
the possible issues into account.
Should the rules be different on
the last lap or late i n the race?
Was the act intentional? H as the
driver in question used such tactics before?
.
In other words, it is always a
tough call. but very few
observers would call the tap
from Jarrelt to the rear of Benson's car excessive. fn fact. not
eve11 Johnny Benson would
make that charge.
Dear NASCAR This Week,
As expected, CBS destroyed
the Daytona 500. Please give us
an exacl count of how many
"green-flag laps" were lost to
commercials. What a shame.

IT'S TIME FOR
W ESTLEMANIA
very sport has Its showcase event. On
April 2 the WWF puts on Its version of
the Super Bowl, the World Series and
the Stanley Cup finals.
It's called Wrestlemanla, it's the single
biggest spectacle In sports entertainmentand it turns 16 this week. For most people,
turning 16 evokes memories of getting that
driver's license or going out on that first date.
But this version of a Sweet 16 party will be
unlike any other. Vince McMahon and compa·
ny have a party in store for wrestling fans that
Is without equal.
Forget the cake and ice cream and party
favors. They've got The Rock, Triple H, The
Big Show and Mick Foley in a fatal four-way
match.
You can bet there will be plenty of fanfare.
In fact, a three-day fan fest called Axxess Is
being held so that fans going to Anaheim can
meet and greet some of the Industry's biggest
stars.
The weekend is a gala celebration. But it
didn't start out that way.
On March 31 , 1985, Madison Square Garden
hosted the first Wrestlemanla and It was a vir·
tual Who's Who of top stars of that era. Hulk
Hogan, Andre the Giant, Ricky Steamboat
and Paul Orndorff headlined the card.
The first match pitted Tlto Santana against
The Executioner. Mr. Twas there, along with
singer Cindy Lauper. More than a million fans
watched it via closed-circuit television.
It was the beginning of what soon became
sports entertainment's single most Important
event.
Two years later Wrestlemania entered main·
stream America thanks to Hogan, Andre and
93,173 fans at the Pontiac Sllverdome in
suburban Detroit.
Although Hogan's body slamming of Andre
and the "passing of the torch" to the blond
California native are generally regarded as
milestones m the business, this wasn't the
best match that night.
E
Macho Man Randy Savage and Steamboat
battled for the Intercontinental title in a match
filled with fast-paced action and numerous
near-falls. Steamboat beat Savage and took
the IC belt, ending Savage's year-long title
reign.
Also competing were Adrian Adonis, Rowdy
Roddy Piper, King Kong Bundy, Hillbilly Jim,
Harley Race and The Junkyard Dog - all top
stars of the1980s. This show received a great
deal of mainstream media publicity at a time
when pro wrestling still wasn't a household
word.
Wrestling was not thriving as a whole,
despite the WWF's success with Wrestle·
mania. It still hadn't achieved the cableenhanced notoriety where millions of homes
would watch every Monday night.
But It was growing.
On April 1, 1990, two WWF superstars
battled before 68,000 fans at the SkyDome in
Toronto. The match between Hogan and The
Ultimate Warrior was significant because it
deviated from the age-old face vs. heel format.
Both Hogan and Warrior were fan favorites.
After a grueling match won by Warrior, Hogan
handed him the title belt and the two
embraced in the center of the ring.
Over the next couple of years Ric Flair,
Dusty Rhodes, Sid Vicious, The Nasty Boys
and The Undertaker would compete in the
crown jewel.
Wrestlemania VIII ushered In the era of The
Undertaker as a main-event performer.
Two years later, Razor Ramon and Shawn
Michaels gave gutsy showings in the first ladder match at Wrestlemania X. Ramon won, but
both men earned the respect of their peers
and fans nationwide.
Two years later saw Michaels beating Bret
The Hltman Hart as a New Generation was
starting to receive a push.
Stone Cold Steve Austin had entered the
scene and new blood like Hunter Hearst
Helmsley, Rocky Maivia, Kane and Mankind
made their Wrestlemania debuts as the 20th
century neared its end.

Brothers continue business and service
Story and photos
by Pam Shingler
Lifesty les Editor
They're both prominent figures in the community
• •d in their church, volunteering thousands of hours a
year to helping others.
They' re each avid sportsmen in their own way.
And they still manage to work - standing on their
feet - upwards of 60 hours a week.
T hey're the Brothers Moore- Robert and Kelly carrying on a long tradition of business and service in
Prestonsburg.
At M oore Brothers Styling and Barber Shop on
North Lake Drive, the two continue a 78-year stretch of
a Moore-owned barber shop in town.
They are the heirs of a business that goes back to
1924, when their father. Thomas Moore, opened a shop
near the courthouse.
# Though their ranks are thinning, some former customers of Tom Moore still come in to have their hair
cut by one of his sons- or to get an old-time straightrazor shave.
T he continuity, often as not. is generational on the
customer side. Knott County Cooperative Extension
Agent Keith Hackworth, for instance, is part of the tradition.
He has been having his hair cut by the Moores
"since he was a little fellow," says Robert Moore as he
blows dry and combs Hackworth's brown hair. So have
the customer's grandfather, father, brothers and
nephews.
Romine Hackworth- "a different set" - is a 30year customer.
Shem1an Hunt figures he's been coming to the
Moores· shop for" 15 to 20 years." He jokes as he takes
a seat in front of the triple mirrors. " I bcuer get my air
cut before I have to get dog tags."
Even five-year-old Ryan Kidd is an old-timer, of
sorts. His grandmother, Joyce Titlow. says Ryan has
been coming to Kelly Moore for haircuts since he was
about one-and-a-half. "Kelly is really good with kids.
very quick." she says.
The barber gets Ryan to agree that the gifts of suckers and bubble gum have something to do with their
rapport.
Both Moore brothers have been barbering for more
than a few years.

he was in grade school. continuing until he was a junior

bought clothes and went to shows on that money."
Upon graduation in 1962, he went on to Ashland
Barber College and went to work with his father in
1963. He's quick to point out that he worked "with" his
father, not "for" him. "My dad gave me half the business when I got out of (barber school),'' he says.

Alice Lloyd College is bringing drama back to the can1pus, and
last week the speech and dran1a department invited four local schools
to serve as audience as the department went through its final dress
rehearsal of "T intypes."
If you invited a large number of middle school students to watch
any performance, you best have your act together. The Alice Lloyd
students did just that.
[f the reaction of students from Viper Elementary. Caney
Elementary. Mountain Christian Academy and the June Buchanan
School are used as a measuring stick, the show was a smashing success.
Hearing the topic of the p lay (tribute to the entertainment of the

Fantods
and furies
Words have always intrigued
me.
At the risk of being thought a
nerd. l admit to occasionally reading the dictionary.
God forbid I have to look up a
word; I can get d istracted for great
chunks of time, reading all the definitions around the word·l originally looked for.
Hit me with a nev. word and r m
hard-pressed to read past Jt. I need
to find out what it means.
That happened last week as 1
worked with Paul Prather's column, which he sends by e-mail. It
doesn't need much actual ed iting,
but some work has to be done to
make sure the paragraphs don ' t
have gaps and there aren' t spaces
where copy ought to go.
(By the way. if you don't read
Paul's column. "The Gospe l

Editor
According to Me," you sho uld.
He's a former religion writer for
the Lex ington Herald-Leader, the
son of a preacher. a minister himself, anu a refreshing writer. His
column is in Friday's edition of the
Times.)
Friday week, Paul used the
word ''fantods." He referred 10
">omething that gives "me the fan tods." As many words as I know,
that's not one of them. When I
checked my trusty American
Heritage Dictionary, I didn't find
it.
I asked pal Willie Elliott. also a
word person. but he wasn ' t familiar with the word either. However,
he did check his Merriam-Webster
and, sure enough, fantod is a word.
It means ··a state of irritability
and tension" as in "fidgets" or ''an
emotional outburst." as a "fit."
I have had - and continue to
have - my share of fantods. In
fact, I am often in a fantod.

Tattoos to body art
hy Mable Rowt' Lineberger, Ph.D.
Well after reading the last time ahnut the carl)
da) s of tattooing. did you or arc ) ou read} to dash
\lUI and get a tattoo so that you can <IIWa) s ha' e
your spccialmc~sage with you for the world to sec?
Even though somt- folks may decide not to gt•t a
tulloo. an interest in the topic was cxprcs,cd in re.tctton to thi' communication of the '' riueu '' ord.
''Can ) ou see me y, ith a tattoo''" f think that if I
were to have something like that. I'd ha'c to he so
convinced that ''as truly what l wanted, I'd proha bl) go ''hole hog and rertll) make "an" out of the
pcojcct. lDidn't mean to sound prejudiced)
Th1s approach is not far off since a major <.ourcc
( The Changing Cultural Status of Tattoo Art,"
lloag Lc\ ins) said. •·...owr the last three decades.
(tattooing as a weJI-eo;tablished an form) has undergone drumatic changes."
Similar to other cultural change<>. having a tattoo
has evolved from an anti-,ocial activity in the 1960s
to a •·trendy fashion statement" of th~ 1990s. TllU:-o
the problem over the past fC\\ weeks was that the
wrong term was bemg used in the search for info. It
seems that Tattoos have become a.k.a. Body Art.
So. after the historical aspects of tattoo~ wt•re
given previously. rhe more modem version \~ill be
given th1s time--on \\ ith Tattoo Art
Like other changes 0\er the years. the evolution
from tattoos to body art ha-. been led by popular and
public figures. The Rolling Stones \\ere r~ported to
ha\'C the greatest inllucnce for tattoos m the curl>
1970s During that period. Time maga1ine v. rote,
''(Tatwos) ha\ e become the 'oguc of the countcr~.:ultur~:·
"The better-known tattoo~ of anchors and flags
of WWII gradually changed to the lush. highl)
detailed tattooing style of the Japanese, de' elnping
cnto "rich bits of tapestr) "
As a result, more ~egmtmls o1 mainstream society were tattooing by the late 1980s: various other
''ell-known figures imolved with the proce~s have
been sports figures. fashion mode b. mO\ ie stars,
etc. ''What was formerly con~idcred a skazy per
version .. hecame just another form uf self-expression and !>tyk.''
The 1980s were also about the time )'tlUng people in my life decided to get a tattoo. The fir-;t one I
-;a\\ was on the upper, back shoulder of a young,
temale co-v.orker at the cornmuntt) mental health
center in Florida.
Then. my one-and only offspring, who had just
received his master's degree in psycholog), came m
one day and asked Gr.mny and me what \H' thought
of his getting a tattoo.
Well. we tried not to react, since we had already
tound a connection between our responding one
way and him going the other. The suggesllnn \\'as.
..Try a temporary one for a'' hile. fhcn if you still
want one, put it 'somewhere' out of o;ight."
In about a month, the one that I had made every
cffort, at all c:ost. not to have a mark of any kind
about his body came home and proud!) presented a
det:orativc. colorful. bird-like figure on the top of
each thigh. just above where his Bermuda shorts
ended.
What I could l say ! He followed m) suggestions.
paid for the sen icc. and had it on h1s body. After all.
he was legal age and had a job.
Then, when I asked another spectal one m my
life. "nephew, \\ hy hc had one put on his lelt upper
ann. his reply was. "Guess I wanted to rcm~mbcr a
special time and plucc for me. Al<>o. I think ir was
the others I was with at the time.''
A.., you had driven around \arious places. you
have probably noticed that two different types of
tattoo business em ironments ha' e been created
O\W the past 15 years.
• the "tath)O parlor" with ·•exotic" enticing exterior signs offering an assembly-line service and
vdth untold. possibly less than optimum. sanilar~
procedures; and
• the "Tattoo art studio" with custom. fine art
designs in an atmosphere similar to a mJddle-uppcrclasc; heauty salon, providing 'en·ice' onl~ by
appointment.
Would you believe that tattooing is the sixthfastest-growing retail business in the USDA'? While
the market numbers sho\\ that most cu~tomcrs arc
from the population ·s main ... tream. middle-class
suburban women are the single, fastest growing
group to seek tattooing services.
One medical journal reported. "Almost one-half
of the tattoos no\V being done ar~· on women " In
North Dakota. one woman had a small rose tattoo
on her shoulder and another had a tin) white baby
seal on her ankle.
A researcher felt that ''for some young women,
tattooing is an outward exprco;;sion of the internal
process of identity building... makes them feel
good ... special, different."
For \\omen, the process of being tattooed may go
" ...from the sign of a de\·iant act to a just-slightly
scandalous but quite public beauty mark." Some
clients may be student-., professionals. even senior
citi7ens. lt is no longer the world of biker<o in hack
alleys.
Another surprismg bit of information is that govemment agencie!' ha\C recognized tattooing as both
an an fom1 and a profession. Furthermore. there
have been art <:hows in museums, gallenes. and
edut·ational institutions of tattoo-related artwork.
" .. one of humanity's oldest and most meaningful
art forms ."
According to Levins' research, the hi,tory of tat
toos as an art foml began in Pre-dynastic and Earl)
Dynastic Egypt. 4500 BC and 1938 BC. As expected. tattooing has become more a matter of individual choice and serves the purpose of self-expressi\m.
The development of tattooing into art was
tncrcased with the invention of electric tattooing
needles and then the de:,igns and colors increa~ed.
Esquire magaztne (1989) depicted the situation of
an ''affluent. well-educated clientele... has an
imagl' in mind when he arrives at the studio and
then discusses it with the tattooer. much ao; an art
patron commissions a work of art "
Lc' ins also found in th.': Encyclopedia ot
Religion (Vol. X\'1). "Contemporary tattooed men
and women wear on their bodieo.; subtle and beauti
ful expressions of a continuous tradition that links
deity, nature and humankind."
Now what do you think about going ahead and
making that appointment for your body an? lf you
were to have one. what might it ~ay? What would be
the purpose?
ln contrast, what are your choice<> if you change
your mind m the future and decide that you made a
had decision'?

Kelly Moore took over the business when Tom Moore died in
1964. The son was a few months

which would allow him to work
alone. But the inspector. the late
Lillian Bates. allowed his father's
master's license to remain on the
wall until the ~on eamed the right to
work unsupervised.
Meantime. Robert Moore. who
is six years older. had gone to
Kentucky Barber College in
Louiwille. his only option in the
late 1950s. He c;er up shop in
Lexington. operating Northland
Barber Shop at Northland Mall.
until 1976. when he came back to
Pre•ilonsburg and joined the family
business.
Building on their father's business, the barber team draws customers from all around. They have
an unusually large clientele from
Martin and Magoffin counties. as
well a~ many other counties in eastem Kentucky.
They try to outdo each other in
naming distances some folks come
regularly for haircuts -Louisville,
Lexington, Cincinnati, Columbus.
Ashland.
They talk about a psychologist
who flies up from Florida five or ~o
times a year on business, and each
time. he stops in for a Moore haircut.
They note that their dad cut the
hair of long-time eastern Kentucky
Congressman Carl D. Perkins and
of Gov. Bert T. Combs when he wa~
a Prestonsburg lawyer. U S.
Representative Hal Rogers stops by
the shop when he's in town. the
Moores say.
On Wednesday when the shop is
closed. both brothers have been
known to visit long-time customers
who are invalids and cannot come
in for a trim or shave. Some are at
home and others are in nursing
homes.
"Dad always said you have to
take ca!'t! of your customers."
Robert Moore sa) s. "Dad was a
great in nuence on bClth of us."
But the hair business is just part
of what the Moore brothers are
involved in
For stmters. both are active in
the church that "as named after
their father. Robert is a deacon at
Thomas ~toore Freewill Bapti'lt
Church at Cliff. and Kelly is a
member of the thurch ·s board of
trustees. "We' rc both born-again
Chri,tians." Kelly declares.
Both men are also active in the
Zebulon 1\la~onic Lodge in
Prestonsburg. Robert is a past master and a 33rd degree Mason, the
highest rank. puning him with the
likes of Harry Truman and Herbert
Hoover. The only other 33rd degree
in Floyd County is John Wesley
Hall of Martin. who has a lodge
named after him.
Sherman Hunt says he "better get a haircut before I have to get dog
tags." He's a long t ime customer of Kelly Moore.
Robert is also affiliated with the
John Wesley Hall Lodge and with
the Ted Adams Lodge and Research
in Paintsville, one of only two such
lodges in the state.
Both brotherl> belong to the
Lexington Consistory ot Scottish
Rite Masons.
Kelly Moore is also a pa.,t master of Zebulon Lodge. a Knight
Commander of Court of Honor and
a 32nd degree Mason.
What he is most proud of.
though. is his acti'< ity with the
Oleika Shriners. where he is a past
potentate. and a leader in the Shrine
Circus, which raise~ money for the
Shriners Children·~ Hospitab.
ln 1982. as treasurer. he wrote
the check for the first van to be used
to transport children from th1s area
to the hospital in Lexington. The
organization transp01ts hundreds of
needy children a year and has just
ordered its si x.th van to serve
Martin. Johnson, Pike. Magoffin.
Knott and Floyd counties.
Kelly is a representative for the
Shrine of North Amenca, the corporation that governs the children's
hospitals. "The reason I'm a
Shriner is because of lhe children's
hospitals." he says.
In his spare time. now. he·., bu<;y
planning this year's local Shrine
Circus. slated for May 6 and in its
29th year.
A football and track participant
in high school. Kelly Moore has
remained active in his school. He
officiated football for 16 years and
has run the clock at home games
since 1983. He is a member of the
committee planning the ne\\ football complex at the high school
Another of Robert's passions.
since he was a child, is the sport of
·coon hunting and raising champion dogs. He says he has prepared
dogs for competition hunting since
the early 1960s, and his dog Deep
Creek B.J. was World Champion
Reserve in the 1980s.
He figures he's had more than 50
over the years, and the competitions have taken them all over the
country and to Canada.
Robert. who wi II soon be 61. and
his wife. Ann Baldndge Moore.
have been married more than 40
years and are the parents of three
children and four grandchildren.

Have you been exposed to
asbestos today?
Americans have learned recenlly
that asbestos exposure is far more
'~ idesprcad-and serious- -a problem than originally thought.
We· ve known for years that
asbestos endangered builders and
mmcrs who worked with it in shipyards, steel mills. and other work
environm~.:nts. as well as in asbestos
mines. But only recently have we
learned that many more people have
been exposed to asbestos than previously known.
A series of articles by the Seattle
Post-intelligence and the Boston
Globe, together with several court
cases against asbestos makers, have
brought the current dangers of consumer asbestos use to light.
"Environmental
Protection
Agency investigators are scounng
store shelves to see if consumers are
unknowingly buying asbestos, and
the lethal fibers have turned up in
some of the products they have h?sted," begins a Fehruat) 14 Seattle
Post-lntelligem:e article.
The thought is frightemng. Store
shelves. lt seems that some producers of consumer products like potting
soil and house insulation have been
using ashcstos in their products.
without notrfying consumers and, in
some cases, the workers who manufactured it.
Wa11 a minute. you say wasn't
asbestos b1mned? The answer is yes,
and no. Several government entities
including
the
Environmental
Protection Agency have the authoritv
to regulate asbestos-containing products.
From 1979 to 1989. the
Environmental Protection Agency
worked to cmft a comprehensive ban
on asbestos products. But the han
was only in ctfect for a short time.
1\temhcrs of the asbesto~ industT)
challenged the ban in the courts. and
in 1991 U1c U.S CounofAppcab for
the Fifth Crrcuit overtum~J most of
the ban-aiiO\\ mg many products
containing asbestos to be produced.
And that ban wasn't all the
asbestos industry fought. Producers
like W.R. Grace Co., the specialtychemicals company featured in the
book and movre A Civil Action,
opposed the placement of warning
labels on products that contained
asbestos
"We believe that a decision to
affix asbestos warning labels to our
products would result in substantial
sales losses," say" one internal Grace
memo •.uitten in 1977.
Grace sold loose-fill insulat.ton
under the product name Zonolite
until 1984. II has been estimated that
hundreds of thousands of homes contain thi~ product
Irs not clear what health costs
consumers will pay as a result of
using asbestos-laced produl'ts. The
Environmental Protection J\gency
says that more testing is needed to
detennine the extent of the problem.
We do know that asbestos exposure cau~cs these diseases pleural
disea.;c, a rhttkenrng of the lining of
the lung: :t!.bcstosts, a scarring of the
lung tis~ue. mesothelioma. a cancer
of the hnmg of the lung or abdomen;
and lung cancer. All of these diseases
are devastatmg. Most are fatal!

Wednesday morning. Keens' body was
transported to Frankfort for autopsy.
A preliminary autopsy report indicates Keens died of an accidental drowning, said Floyd County Coroner Roger
Nelson. The suspect was not handcuffed,
said Nelson.
The incident is being investigated by
KSP Detective Billy Meade, who is
being assisted by the sheriff's office.
Former state pohce commissioner and Floyd County resident
Gary Rose has filed a suit in Floyd Circuit Court alleging he wasterminated from his position improperly.
Rose's suit alleges he had submitted a memorandum to the state's
secretary of the Justice Cabinet. Robert Stephens. that was critical of
mismanagement and waste of public funds occurring within the state
police and criticized the employment practices within the KSP.
Rose alleges he submitted the memorandum in order to correct
the problems listed within. Instead he was informed to either withdraw the memorandum or be terminated.
Upon Rose's refusal to withdraw the wriuen memorandum, he
alleges he wa~ notified by letter that he was terminated.
Now Rose has filed suit against his two former bosses. Stephens
and Gov. Paul Patton, for violating the state's whistleblower lav,.
Rose said he was exercising his First Amendment rights of freedom of speech by submitting the memorandum and was therefore
tllegally terminated.

recognizing KET. the Kentucky
Telecommumcations Consortium,
students and faculty for pioneering
distance learning in Kentucky.
Don O'Neil, a University of
Louisville telecourse student. is typical of those who choose distance
learning for its flexibility. ''I chose
the telccour:;e . . . mainly for the
time I saved. I work and have two
small children, so I'm busy.
"My major is finance. and r have
three more semesters left until graduation. I think the telecourse program is terrific for non-traditional
students like mv~elf."
KET offers i 0 college credit tclecour~es each fall and spring and live
telecour~es each summer. for a total
of 25 each year, CO\ ering disciplines
such a<: p!'.ychology. literature,
health. sociology and history. a~
well as graduate education cour~es.
'I\\ cnty-four Kentucky institutions offer credit for KET telecourses. In the fiN year that KET offered
telecourse\. more than 800 stuJcnL'i
enrolled.
Now. 21 years later. more than
6,000 students enroll in KET tele-
courses each year.
In 1994, KET and the
Consortium became pilot participants in a program called "Going
the Distance,'' which enables adults
to earn associate degrees through
distance-learning telecourses and
other technologies.
Currently, five community colleges in the Kentucky Community
and Technical College System offer
an Associate in Arts degree through
this program. with 75 percent of the
60 credit hours earned through telecourses.
"KET was founded to make educational opportunities more accessible to Kenruckians of every age and
every part of the state." said John
Domaschko, chairman of KET's
governing body, the Kentucky
Authority
for
Educational
Television.
"Telecourses are a prime example of the many ways in which we
fulfill that mission. I believe the
possibilities for innovative distance
learning through KET 111 the future
are limited only by our imagination."
The Kentucky Telecommunications Consortium is made up of a
representative from each of the eight
Kentucky public universities, as
well as one representative from each
of the following: the Kentucky
Community and Technical College
System: the Association of
Independent Kentucky Colleges and
Universities: and Kentuckiana
Metroversity
The following colleges and universities offer credit for KET tele- •
courses at some time during the

When I enrolled in Pikeville

The blame game
Recent!}. a fedt:ral judge dealt a biO\\ to the families of
three victims of the Heath High School shootings in
Paducah.
U.S. District Judge F.dward Johnstone dismissed their
$33 million suit against a group of entertainment companies that the families blamed for stoking the murderous
rage of teenage gunman Michael Carneal.
Johnstone said that violent video games and movies
like "The Basketball Diaries" - which features a shooting-spree scene disturbingly similar to Carneal's real-life
rampage - were not -.uhject to product-liablity law. and
entertainment executives could not be held responsible
for Carneal's actions.
In dismissing the suit, the judge forced the familiesand America- to reconsider our reflex of affixing blame
for school shootings to forms of entertainment that seem
to glorify and encourage \ iolcnt behavior.
Make no mistake. Hollywood is contributing to a culture that feeds on and breeds violence. Studies have
demonstrated links between the amount of violence children are exposed to and an increase in aggressi\'e behavior. Entertainment compan1es like those accused by the
Paducah familie::. apparent)) are impervious to such complants and concerns. When entertainment companies craft
the most shocking video games and movies they can, peddle their \irulent wares to an impressionable audience
\\ ith abandon. then shrug off responsibility. they deserve
censure.
But the mos~ effective censure will come from the marketplace. Parents must pa)' more attention to the products
their children consume and stop rewarding irresponsible
entertainment companies with higher revenues. lf we
want our children to stop embracing nihilistic values and
imitating on-screen murderers. we must organi£e more
consumer boycotts - not more class-action lawsuits.
The families of Paducah's victims plan to appeal
Johnstone's decision - an understandable reaction to
"hat must ha\ e hcen a heartbreaking verdict. But sooner
or later those families. and America. must realize that we
cannot litigate or Jegio;late a kinder, gentler America. We
must reconstruct it from the ground up, using the forces
of the marketplace to drive violencemongers out of business.

Once again the mouthpiece of Marxist-lenninism
has reared its ugly little, ultra liberal socialist head.
Yes. the ACLU. who c;till fails to understand that
in a democracy the majority rules. has challenged
the will of the people in Harlan County.
You know only a communist, atheist or pure troublemaker would oppose the posting of the I 0
Commandments anywhere. It may be a biblical document, but the rules are mostly generic in nature.
Anyone can see just by reading them that foliO\\ing them would make this world a far better place in
which to live. All races, creeds. religion~. can and
should, embrace the philosophy a!- it mirrors lhe
thoughts of most religion's founders.
I see a number of Jews who were opposed to the
10 Commandments. Guess the} mu ... t have missed
that year of temple when their leader. Moses, went
high on the mountain and the Lord spoke to him. It\
in the Old Testament, which is the Je\\ ish Bible.
The real problem here is not religion. It's what's
right and what's wrong. It's about the majorit} being
disenfranchised to coddle the whinings of a tiny few.
It's about the c1vil liberties of the masses being
trampled in the name of civil rights for a few. It's
about destroying the morals and ethics of this nation
to placate a motley minority of vocal m1sfits.
I , for one. am sick to the point of nausea with it.

be it. It is up to the other 20 percent to make do and

We can trust our churches in Appalachia to glorify God and tell the story of Jesus - the greatest
story ever told. Lord willing. I'll do ... pringtimc and

Families and friends will travel far, and ne.tr. to

They'll visit the cemeteries, decorate graves, pay
homage to loved ones, eat too much and return to
their homes of abode. God appreciates all this,
except gluttony. This all glorifie!-t God.

In each group there should he one person heading

Just some thoughts this week. One
of the most alarming things that has
ever crossed my mind is the fact that
my daughter will grow up into a world
where ~he is a second class citizen. Not
qu11e poor. rna) be not well off. but satisfied with a good home life. She will
continue her educational and social
journey constantly taught that boys are
better.
We are repeatedly reminded that
boys arc leaders and girls should submit to that leadership. Boys will be
stronger in body ~o they must be strong
in mind. After all Darwin's theories of
e\Oiution where the world exists under
the rule of survival of the fittest most
applies to the human race.
The strongest rule either by muscle
or political might. Histor} teaches us
that women an~ inferior and should
submit to man. Well, my God and this
dad believes rhetoric of this sort needs
to be flushed.
My daughter's gender to me should
make her Joan of Arc, Madame Curry.
Sally Ride. Queen Elizabeth. or someone much better. As this is a world
ruled by men and the lowe~t citizens of
the earth are \\Omen and. even lower.
women of a minority. It i~ time that we
recognized the equa.lit} of our species.
All are created equal.
Tears are not a sign of weakness. I
learned that this weekend. It is proof
that women were put on this earth to
balance a man's ridiculousness.
I "ish that as parents we did not
train our girls to be \\eak 111 mind Yes.
women are physically less muscular.
But it takes both sexes to survive and to
make the world a greater place to live.
Appalachia needs a wake up call.
We are "asting one of the world's
greatest resources and we are beginning with our children.

Sometimes Satan (old Sle"' Foot) de~eives the
leader into becoming a Hercules and lapping up the
glory for himself or herself. Satan blinds us! He is
tough!
If the leader is not careful. Satan will lead him or
her into seeking his or her undeserved glory. This is
a sin. disgrace and an abomination. It robs participants of their God-gi-.en rights during Easter and
springtime activities.
Let's pray for Hercules, if he or she is lured into
sin and abomination. The lh ing 's happiness counts
heavily. The Hercules are easy to 1dentify. They are
all ''show" .tnd ··no blow...

True success revolves around faithfuln.ess
..
As I was papng for some merchandise at a hook store, I handed
the clerk my membership card 10
the store's rc.tders' club.
He glam:cd at it and said, "Hey.
you're Paul Prather"
''I used to enjoy your column in
•
•
the Lexington Herald-Leader." he
said. "You know. I liked one so
much I cut it out and saved 1t. I'' e
got 11 on m) wall at home."
"Wow, that's flattering. Which
column is it?"
"It's about Tolstoy's short story
·Ivan lllyich.' ll really touched
me."
"Thank you wry much." I said.
I took my sack. my change and
my readers' card and went on my
way, happy but puzzled.
It was, as somebody once :.aid.
like dejll vu all over again.
That was the second time recently I'd had the same experience another clerk also had looked at my
name on a card and told me he.
admired my column about
Tolstoy's ''The Death of Ivan
Illyich."
To me. that's the best compliment you can receive as a writer,
and especially as a writer of newspaper pieces. which tend to be top-
kal thi:,; morning and to line hml
hy night fall.
For someone to be so affected by
a column that he saves it until the
paper has turned yellow with age,
well, that's graufymg. To meet two
people who rememhcr the same
column years after it was published. that's amazing.
But as I said. it al'o pu11led me.
I could barely recall the piece
my-;clf. even after both gu)s had
mentioned lt.
So I went home, searched
through an Internet data base and
retneved the column. It was dated
May 22. 1993. almost seven years
ago. I discovered that it basically
concerned my own aging proces~.
At the time I wrote it I had just
read Tolstoy's :short sto1 y ahout a
mid-level bureaucrat who, on h1s
death bed. realizes he's never
accomplished anythmg WOILhwiHic.
I compared the story's main chalactcr with myself. I said I hoped that
when I reached my final days I
wouldn't be as dtsillusioncd with
my life as Ivan Illyich was with his.
I've been writing a long time.
I've produced three books. hundn:ds of columns and 1.000 or more
news stories. l'\e written a few
pieces that I thmk do possess .1 cer~ages
tain degree of lasung rnent.
The column on "Ivan lllyich"
wasn't among them. It wns a little
essay I probably had typed out on a
ught deadline, off the top of my
head.
Yet of all I've wntten, that was
the one thing these guys recalled.
When you' rc in a communit:auons profession - '' riting, preaching, teaching m a classroom - tt
often happens that wa).
I've preached sermons that rve
sweated blood over, that I've
researched extensively. outl1ned
carefully and delivered forcefully.
only to sec half the congregation
c:iuing before me yawning.
Othe;r tunes I' vc rushed to
church ill-prepared, with a few
notes jotted on a scrap of stenographer's paper. When I stepped to the
pulpit I simply said whatever
popped into my mind.
Sometimes those sermons have
been my greatest htts. Afterward
people would clap me on the back
and request audio tapes so they
could listen to the message again
and again.
Schoolteachers tell me that former students occasionally return to
thank them for something the
teacher said in class I 0 years ago.

Local Census 2000 office recruiting census takers
The Census Bureau's Local
Census Office in Ashland is intensifying its efforts to recruit local residents to perfonn temporary census
jobs.
Non-response
Follow-up
(NRFU), the largest field operation
of Census 2000, begms April 27 and
runs as late as July 7.
Census taker selection is now
underway. Initial training sessions
begin April 24. Additional select1ons
and training sessions will follow. The
training prepares census takers to
explain clearly the imponance of the
census for their communities. and the
confidentiality of all responses provided.
The temporary jobs are ideal for
students, retirees and others seeking
part-time work. Although many of
the census takers are friends and
neighbors, safet) and security are
prime considerations during Census
2000. Census takers undergo secunty
screenings.
"Our goal is to hire and tram local
people who are commiued to a successful count in their neighborhoods,'' said Lee Stinnett, local
Cen.;us Office Manager for
Recruiting. "They were lmcd, in part.
because they know our streets and
our neighborhoods. They '>peak our
language and are familiar \\ ith our
culture."
Data gathered from questionnaires already processed through the
mailback campaign and earlier interviews will be supplemented by
employees of the Ashland census
office.
"Participating in the census is critical to the well being ot our community and to each of us individually.
The numbers produ~,;ed detennine
how a state gets its fair share of more
than $185 billion in federal funds
annually." said Susan B. Hardy,
Charlotte Regional Census Center
director.
"Our responses determine how
many seats each state gets tn the
House of Representatives and provide the means for states and localities to define their voting dtstncts.
Census findings also infom1 deci-
tary, secondary and postsecondary
students. but also for adults who
for a number of reasons did not
recetve an adequate education the
first time around. "Bucks for
Brains," a program that endows
chairs at state universities,
received $120 million. And, postsecondary education receh ed a 20
percent increase in funding over
the two-year span. A 2.4 percent
increase was appropriated for public schools. Betsy Layne, Allen
Central and the David School will
all benefit from line-item appropnations in the state budget. I was
also fortunate to get a million dollars for our East Kentucky Center
for Science, Math and Technology.
The new budget will support
many new programs that arc
urgently needed for continued
growth and economic development
in urban and rural commumties.
Funding was eannarked for our
highly visible items. such as $2
million for the Mountain Arts
Center and $3 million of community development money for
Prestonsburg. Other key appropriations in rural communities, such
as extended water lines for
Spurlock and Little Mud Creek
and an updated tiscal court facili tieS at the Martin Community
Center are also mcluded. It is
important to Floyd County to keep
our progressive momentum and 1
believe this budget does that. For
continued progress toward touri$m
development, we received money
to ttnprove the boating facilities at
Dewey Lake. We will also have
money to preserve and advertise
the Jenny Wiley burial slle.
Kentucky's
constitution
requires that our state budget he
balanced, and to achieve that
objective with this budget. a s<tles
tax was placed upon telecommuntcattons serv1ces. This is projected
to raise nearly $180 million.
Hotly debated throughout the
60 days of the 2000 session hn!>
been the question of the tobacco
settlement involvmg the distribution of the money tobacco compa·
nies agreed upon at the concluston
of the lawsuit brought by several
states against them. The money
amount settled upon is considered
reimbursement for dollars the
states spent as a resulL of health
problems and other dollars ~pe111
as a result of their product. As <1
result of the settlement. •he :,tates
agreed not to sue tobacco companies for other reimbursements.
Even though Flo)d County is
not a wbacco-growing area. the
money from this selllement will
alli!ct us enom10usl) in regards to
health care 1ssues. community
development projects and early
childhood development programs.
Several tobacco settlement
related bills were approved this
session, one being to formalize the
Kentucky Tobacco Settlement
Trust Corporatton that will make
decisions on the Phase II settlement money. Another measure
establishes how the Phase I funds
will be split up. Fifty percent of the
Phase I settlement money goes to
tobacco farmers and tobacco
industry-related projects. Twentyfive percent is directed to new nnd
improved early childhood development programs and 25 percent
to health care expenses. which
includes the anti-teen smoking
campaign.
The lcg1slat10n creating the
most controversy was House Bill
611. the bill dealing with the 50
percent of the money to be distnhuted to tobacco fanners and tobac
co-related agricultural projects An
agreement was only pounded out
in the wamng hours of the session.
In questiOn was whether more of
the $140 mill1on left over after the
$40 million payorf to farmers
would be earmarked by county
councils or a state-based board .
The final result was that (\county·
located board could spend 35 per
cent of the money and the remam
ing funds would fall under the auspices of the new state board. The
state board could spend the money
under its purview on statewide
programs to help farmers obtain
low-interest loans, cope with the
cost of complying with environmental regulatiOns and diversifying their crops A breakdown of
how lhe $180 million in tobacco
settlement money will be spent
includes:
• $40 million will go directly to
fanners and to supplement Phase II
• Approximately $49 mlihon
will be eannarked to tobacco counttes for agriculture spending.
• The state board for statewide
development programs will decide
the spending of $91 million. Some
of that money is already earmarked
for debt service on bond money
that will extend much-needed
waterlines into new areas and
other rural area development projects.
In sp1te of the long hour!' and
the occasional in ftghung between
the House and Senate. I belteve
this has been a meantngful session
that will long be remembered by
the children of Kentucky and by
those needy Kentuckians who need
an extra hand up to succeed.
To stay really current with
issues before the stale legislature
and to contribute to the decisionmaking process. I urge you to
remain tuned to the interim committee acti\ tty that hegins after the
General Assembly adjourns. I
thank all of you who have contacted me dunng this session. I appreciate and encourage your tnterest.

sions on where to build new schools.
hospitals, semor centers and shopping malls.
"And the numbers help 'ariou~
groups withm communities receive
adequate attention from federal. state
and local programs," Hardy said.
Stmncll added that residents of
towns all over Kentucky can contribute to making Census 2000 an
accurate count for their community
by welcoming census takers. '1l1ey
can let friends and neighbors know
that when that knock comes on their
door, their cooperation is important.''

Garth landfill to get visit
from state's top trash cop
by RANDELL RENO
STAFF WRITER
The Floyd County Landfill at
Garth will get a visit from the
Kentucky's Secretary of Natural
Resources and Environmental
Protection. Gen. James Bickford.
on May 2.
The county has put thousands
of dollars into cleaning up the
landfill, attempting to make the
water runoff safe.
Members of the board said they
• have complied with everything the
state has asked them to do in dealing with the leaching waters, but
despite those efforts the state continues to impose more restrictions
on the landfill. members of the
county's solid waste coordination
council !laid during a meeting
Wednesday.
In order to bring the \.\ater in
compliance with environmental
standards. a wetlands proposal has
been studied. Under the propo!>al,
wate.r leaving the landfill would
go through two treatment plants
before being let into a wetlands
• area, where it would benefit the
environment and receive a final
cleansing before being released
into Beaver Creek.
The proposed project will cost
the county about $250.000. The
additional spending did not sit
well with some members of the
committee.
"We are never going to get it
closed," said Lowell Sammons,
"All we are going to do is break
the county taxpayers up. We spent
more money last year than all the
years before."
Members argued that if
B1ckford approved the runoff
water samples now being released,
the process would be over and the
landfill could be closed.
Mike Vance said he has applied
for a PRIDE grant to cover the
cost of the proposed project.
The completion of the county
E-911 addressing will also aid in
the county's waste collection. said
Mike Vance. lJSA Waste representati\'e Jeff Baker said problems
with sticker distribution to paid
customers may be alleviated with
the enhanced system.
The addressing issues that USA
Waste is facing will be easier
when a definite house number can
be recognized as the home of a
paid customer. After that the stick-
crs ma) be done a\\ <I) "'ith altogether.
In othl!r issues before the council:
• A new committee entitled the
East
Kentucky
Recycling
Authonty is forming in the area.
Sealing at least one member from
the solid waste committee. the
EKRA will try to make recycling
efforts a countywide project. With
the b)la,,o; and rules still being
outlined. the ne'' committee may
bring a county\\ ide recycling program to life.
• The PRIDE cleanup is going
as planned, .1ccording to DeptH~
Judge-Executi\(: Brett Da\'i ...
Seven creek cleanups are in the
\\Ork,, as \\ell as the prckup of
refuse.
• The landfill llan-.fer . . tation
has received a number of tires for
Tire Amnest) Week and man)
white good~. Members lauded the
tire cleanup. saying the creeks \\ill
benelit.
• The landfill would like to
remind residents that although this
is a om: time and only one-time
cleanup of tires. metals are accepted at the transfl•r ~>tation throughout the year.

Magoffin County comes from
behind to defeat Betsy Layne
by Karen Joseph
Sports Writer
The weather has not cooperated very much this week
with area baseball and softball. Sure, we needed all the
rain this week. but it plays havoc on softball and baseball
schedules.
The Betsy Layne Lady Bobcats and the Allen Central
Lady Rebels were to play on Monday night, but that
game was postponed due to the weather. All games on
Monday and Tuesday were canceled.
Finally on Wednesday, the weather cooperated and
the Betsy Layne Lady Bobcats traveled to Magoffm
County to take on the Magoffin County Lady Hornet<;.
Bet-;y Layne led up until the fourth inning. The
Mngoffin County Lady Hornets had a big fourth inning
and went on to defeat the Lady Bobcats by a score of 106.
Love racked up the win for the Lady Hornets and
Kim Tackett suffered the loss for the Lady Bobcats.
Tackeu gave up eight hits and five walks, all of which
were in the fourth inning, and had two strikeouts. Love,
in her winning effo~ gave up five hits. had nine walks,
and fanned five batters. Betsy Layne left three runners
stranded and Magoffin County left five stranded.
Tabitha Mitchell got the game started with a walk.
Devon Reynolds followed with a walk. Denise Jones
drove both runs in when she drilled the ball to left center
field for a double and gave the Lady Bobcats an early 20 lead. Brandy Bentley also got an RBI when she hit the
ball back to the pitcher and went to flf'St on a fielder's
choice. Jones. who had stolen third base, carne home on
the play to add to the Betsy Layne lead.
The next batter, Kim Tackett, grounded to second for
the second out and Jenny Parsons popped up to the second baseman for the third out
The Lady Hornets were unable to get anything going
in the first inning. They had three up and three down.
The same held uue for the Lady Bobcats in the second
inning as well as for the Lady Hornets again in the bottom of the second.
But in the third, the Lady Bobcats l>UUck again. Again
Tabitha Mitchell led off with a walk. Mitchell stole second
base. Devon Reynolds drove Mitchell horne when she got

This will be my last korner.
As most of you know, March
31 was my last day at the
paper. But Ed asked me to
come back this week and work
while he got a little R & R.
which he truly deserves and
needs.
And wouldn't you know it
has rained most of the week.
And if there is anything worse
than too many games to cover,
it is not having any games to
co,·er. What do you put in the
sports section? Sports is not
like the news or lifestyle section. If it doesn't happen, there
is nothing to write about.
Anyway, I just wanted to
say that working at the paper
has been an experience. But, I
am not sure il' it has been a
good experience. Oh, I guess I
will look back on it and realize
it was a good experience I
have said all my life. that I
think everyone should have to
work in a restaurant a week
and work in a department store.
Now I add to my list of everyone's should-des. everyone
should work at a newspaper
office for at least a week.
If everyone had to work in a
restaurant, everyone would be a
lot nicer to the waiters and
realize that if the food is not
the way you ordered it or if it
takes a while, it IS not the waiter's fault. And if everyone had
to work in a department store.
things in the store would stay a
lot neater. And if everyone had
to work in a newspaper office,
they would realize all of the
hours and manpower that it
takes to put a paper together.
I guess when a person
decides to pursue a career in
journalism, they automatically
become the object for ridicule
by the public. A reporter must
come to grips with the fact that,
no matter how hard he or she
tries, someone is going to be
upset. You can't please everyone. But you know in most professions, not all people agree
with how you do your job. but
very rarely do you have to take
the criticism from the public
that >ou do as a reporter.
Now I. too. have become
very upset with reporters. The
media can be a pain in a lot of
situations. They ha\ e the position to O\ erplay or underplay
any given situation. But always
keep in mind that a reporter
gives only one person's view of
the way they observe things.
Ju~t because a reporter sees it
one way, docs not mean that it is
carved in stone. It is just hts or
her opinion.
But \\hen you are brave or
should I say crazy, enough to be
a reporter, you just set yourself
Ten years ago, the mention of the
phrase ··extreme sports·· would have
likely brought nothing but blank
stares.
Then ESPN created the first really new thing in professional sports
for decades -a multi-sport event
called the X Games Suddenly, a lot
of enthusiasts in recreational sports
as lliversc as inlinc skating. mounlain biking, skate-boarding and rock
climbing discovered they were all
part of a community that has
changed the face of popular culture.
Given the age of many extreme
sports participants, it's no surprise
that the Internet plays such a big role
in this community of new-wave athletes. After all. if their parents were
the first "television generation,"
today's youngsters are the first generation who learned to surf the Web
almost before they learned to read.
Extreme sports fans and organizations have started their own Web
sites, as ha\'e equipment manufacturers and others hoping to take
advantage of the "extreme" trend.
No longer do inline skaters or
skareboarders in one part of the
country have to feel isolared from
their peers in other states - or even in
other nations. Thanks to the Internet,
it's an extreme world after all.
In the spirit of building that

At no Lime tn the history of professional
baseball have so many home runs been
recorded.
It used to be that a player who hit for the
circuit 40 or more times in a season was considered to be a man of no mean talent. This
past major league campaign there were several such performances, not to mention a few in
the 50s and never mind Mark McGuire and
Sammy Sosa.
So what's happening?
Well, for one thing the balls are being
wound tighter and have more jump to them
A hea\y bat. despite its innate power. is
more difficult to accelerate from a dead start
and takes longer to get around to the ball.
Conversely, a lighter bat i~ more easy to
"jump start" and ~o·an be swung much faster.
which results in better carr) on the ball.
Without really knowing why. baseball
players have been swinging weighted bats
during hilling practice and in the on-deck circle so their real bats will feel lighter at the
plate, the end ohjective being to get more 1ip
into one's swing and hit the ball a greater distance.
If ph)sicists ate to be belie\cd, lighter is
better. As'>Umlllg this is true. one wonders

than in years past. But an e'vcn more salient
factor is the construction of the modern day
bal.
fn his heyday Babe Ruth swung a ~2-ounce
piece of lumber, your basic war club. It was
his theory that weight combmed with velocity
would propel a ball farther than a bat of more
conventional proportions. And too. a heavy
bat has a larger hilling surface which
enhances the chanct•s of making more solid
contact, a necessity when it comes to hitting
the fence hopper.
But as time progressed, scientific research
determined that the speed a bat moves
through the arc of a swing is more important
to generating distance than the matter of
wetght.

their children's Involvement in

I. Make sure your children
understand that win or lose. you
love them.
2. Be realistiC about your child's
phystcal ab1lity.
3. Help your child set realistic
goals.
4. Emphas1ze "improved" performance, not winning.
5. Don't relive your own athletic past through your child.
6. Provide a safe environment
for training and competition.
7. Control your emotions at
games and events.
8. Be a "cheerleader" for your
child and other children on the
team.
9. Respect your child's coaches.
Communicate with them in a positive way.
I 0. Be a positive role model.
Parents: Be sensible and responsible, and keep your priorities in

than a won/loss record.

in any organ1Led sport.
Just keep in mind that they are
only ch1ldren, and 10 years or live
years or even a week from now,
more than likely they w1ll have forgotten everything that went on m
the game. But they will never forget the embarrassmt:nt or disappointment they felt when their par
ents yelled or conducted them
selves in an improper manner.
Well. as I said this will he my
last Karen's Korner and r just wanted to say that if in any way anyone
thought that I failed to give your
child the credit that they deserve, I
am truly sorry. But if you knew me
personally, you would know that I
would never do anything to hurt a
child. And, as I said before, I think
that all ch1ldren need to be praised
No one will ever convince me that
you can get more effort out of a
child by screaming and yelling at
them than you get when you praise
a child for their efforts. Just
remember. no one likes to be
screamed at.

how many round-trippers Ruth
would have belted with a less
cumbersome bat.
More important, what is going
on now?
Bat manufacturers have been
experimenting with increasmg
the flexibility of wood, gtving it
more snap, so to speak. This can
be accomplished only to a modest extent given the basic properties of lumber. So here's where
innovation on behalf of the players enters stage left.
One method of overcomi ng
the limitations of processed ash
is referred to as "corking". simply bore a hole about an inch in
diameter and a foot deep into the
top of the bat all the while being
careful not to split the bell. Then
pack the opening with cork, sawdust, Styrofoam, or any other
substance that is lighter than
wood. Next, seal the hole with
plastic that matches the color of
the bat. Then sand the area
smooth and apply a little pine tar
to give things a used appearance
Viola! A superbat. One that is
lighter without any loss in size or
hitt1ng surface.
New York Yankees strong man
Mtckey Mantle once said, "If you
swing for distance you almost
have to have the bat in motion
before the pitch is even
released."
Science had also taught us that
spin imparted to a ball at high
velocity will further enhance its
ability to fly longer and higher.
Golf club makers learned th1s
fact a long time ago.
Thus a lighter, grooved bat
will produce better results than a
standard model. Former Yankees
shortstop Tony Kubek knew this
(as did Mantle and Roger Maris)
hence he used an ice pick to
carve out the soft dark grain from
his bats and then smeared pine
tar into the openings. Finally. he
sanded the bat lightly to harden
the surface (better for greater
force at impact) but not to the
extent that the shallow grooves
couldn't generate the desired
sptn on the ball.
Look oat f ences!
Yet another dodge to increase
the reaction of a ba ll when tt contacts a bat 1s the liberal use of
pine tar on the hitting area. This
Subscribe and
Save, Call
886-8506
produces the same clfcct as
grooves in tmparung more spin
and subsequent!}. more dtstance.
Essentially. this is what the
famous "Pine-Tar Episode"
mvolving George Brett of the
Kansas City Royals and his dubious home run against the Yankees
was all about .
Hall of Fame catcher Johnny
Bench not infrequently used a
"cupped" bat (one with a hollowed out end) wh1ch is perfectly
legal but has the same effect on
the ball as a corked one.
What you see is not always
what you gel. unfortunately.
Pressure and big money have a
way of graying up the block and
white of fair play.

Mullins then grounded to the shot1stop
for the third out. But the Lady HomcLo;

New:.ome followed with a ~alk to load

Bobcats left three runners stranded.
This was just the start of trouble for
the Lady Bobcats. In theLady Hornets'
half of the inning, thing got worse for
the Lady Bobcats.
Love again started the inning with a
walk. E. Stephens got a hit, but was
thrown out at second. This left Love on
third base.
Third baseman Joseph singled to
bring Love home. Tackett then walked
the next four batters to bring in two
runs.
With the bases still loaded, C.
Stephens hit to lett lield to dnvc home
three runs. This gave the lead to the
Lady H(>mets.
Mulhns then hit the ball to center
tield. Blair Conn caught the fly ball but
Stephens. who was on third base,
tagged and scored.
Betsy Layne finally got out of the
inning when E. Stephens grounded to
second base. But the Lady Hornets had
taken the lead. The score was 8-6 in
favor of Magoffin County.
'lbe Lady Bobcats were unable to
geL~ things gomg for the rest of the
game. In their remaining three times at
bat. they only had four runners reach
base. In the final inning. they had bases
loaded with two outs, but failed to score
and the Lady Hornets were able to
come away with the come-frombehind win, 10.6. Magoffin County
scored two more runs in the flfth.
The Lady Bobcats will entertain

Meeting the challenge
for better teaching
Most of the responsibility for
improving student achievement
performance rest with teachers.
This has been true throughout much
of our history.
But today's teachers are being
called upon to teach in new ways
that retlect the increased expecta·
t1ons of our educational system.
Many teachers entered the profession long before refonn became
a reality, and the) have been asked
to incorporate a moumain of ne\\
ideas into their teaching practices.
Helping them succeed requires
professional development of the
highest quality. It also involves
chang1ng the \\a) teachers \Vork
and learn.
Question: What is found 111 a
school environment that encourage.,
the right kind of learning opportunities for teachers?
Answer:
• Teacher-, are able to work with
colleagues, both in their school and
.beyond it.
• Princ1pals who understand the
demands of rcfonn offer support
and adv1cc to teachers.
• Someone other than a principal
is a\ ail able to observe lJ') ing ne\\
prnctil:cs and to make non-judgmental t'ornml!nts and suggestions.
• Teachers arc a part of a larger tf
communll\ of administrators, students, parents. school councils,
school boards and business people
who orr~·r support and ideas.
• Teachers have a chance to
obsen e teaching practices that help
all students improve their academic
achievement and to develop the
ahility w criticall) as ...ess their own
pr.tctices.
• l'cacher-, arc ghen the time and
mental ... pacl! the) need to develop
ne\\ undcNandings of the subject
they teach and the roles they play in
the -,chool and community.
• To accomplish all the these •
things, professional development is
de lined a., a central part of teaching.

An Open Letter To Neighbors
and Friends of Floyd County:
Recentl)'. I was issued a Notice of Violation for violating
Kentucky State Laws regarding the improper handling
and disposal of household garbage. Other people in our
county and across the state have been caught and fined for
the illegal dumping of garbage.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING FACTS
~
1. First. all waste items including household garbage,
household appliances. tires. automobiles. and automobile
parts. construction and demolition debris. or any other
item you consider to be garbage, must be disposed at a
state permitted facility.
2. You cannot bury household garbage - even on your
own property. Placing garbage in a sinkhole or throwing it
over an embankment is not only illegal but it contaminates our environment and rna)' damage drinking water
for you or your neighbors or pollute creeks and ri\ ers.
3. You cannot bum household trash such as plastics and
metals. You are allowed to bum leaves. trees and limbs.
4. All household garbage must be disposed at a permitted
landfill, a garbage transfer station. or picked up by a
garbage collection service.
5. You need to sign up for regular garbage collection
from a county-licensed hauler. Keep your receipts so you
can show proof if your garbage someho\\ ends up in an
illegal dump.
If you are not currently subscribing to a collection service
or ha\<e an} other general questions about proper garbage
disposal. you should contact the Floyd Count) Solid
Waste Coordinator. Mike Vance at (606) 886-8060.
Be aware if you are caught illegally disposing of your
garbage. you can be fined $100.00 to $5,000 and be
required to clean up the dump site. If you witness illegal
dumping, call toll free l-888-NODUMPS and report it to
state officials.
Please join me in creating a clean ami healthv environmem fvr Floyd Coumy.
Thank )·ou for your help.

Nothing to
smile about
When I received an e-mail last week that
began. "please do not ignore this e-mail." I
thoughL oh. brother-one of those chain letter
things telling me rlllosc my fortune (ha!) and
have seven years of bad luck dumped on me if
I don't send it on to 10 friends by midnight
Sunday.
l.J1 fact I had just !>~.!en a TV news progntm a
couple of days before that warned about participating m those scams that, a~ I recall, used to
show up m my mail box every few months or
-so.
I ft)We\er, a do"e check revealed that it
came from a lady whose commumcations I
have been reading for the past six months, courtesy of her friend (and mine) Susan Stauter who
receives them in San Francisco and sends them
to me via the Internet
The lady's name is Bettyann Tetzke and she
is one of several artists who have established an
arts school/workshop in a remote area of
Russia. { remember thinking how bad things
must be for them over there when I read her
Chrhtmas wish list a few months back asking
for paper clips. post-it-notes and crackers.
Anyway, her latest correspondence concems
freedoms that we take for granted, but in some
parts of the world have been violated to outrageous extremes. It IS also a plea for act1on by
way of peaceful petition. So. here, in Betty's
own words, is an e-mail we shouldn't ignore.
Dear Friends.
This is something that we a-; women and
essentially as human beings need to support.
Mauna, the government of Afghanistan. is wag-
•
ing a war upon women. Since the TaUban took
power in 1996, women have had to wear a
complete covering called burqua and have been
beaten and stoned in public for not wearing the
proper attire. Even if this means simply not
having the mesh covering in front of their eyes.
One woman was beaten to death by an
angry mob of fundamentalists for accidentally
exposing her arm while she was driving.
Another was stoned to death for trying to Jeave
the country with a man who was not a relative.
Women are not allowed to work or even go
out in public without a male relative; professional women such as professors, translators,
doctors. lawyers. artists and writers have been
forced from their jobs and literally confmed in
their own homes.
Any home where a woman is present must
have its windows painted so that she can never
be seen by an outsider. And they must wear
silent shoes so that they are never heard.
Women live in fear of their lives for the

slightest misbehavior. Because they cannot
work, those without male relatives or husbands
are either starving to death or begging on the
streets even if they hold PHDs.
Depression is becoming so widespread that
it has reached emergency levels. There is no
way in such extreme Islamic society to know
the suicide rate with certainty, but relief workers are estimating tl1at the suicide rate among
women who cannot find proper medication and
treatment for severe depression and would
rather take their lives than live in such conditions has increased significantly.
There are almost no medical facilities available for women. At one of the rare hospitals for
women a reporter found still, near lifeless bodies lying motionless on top of beds. wrapped in
their burqua, unwilling to eat speak or do anytlung and slowly wasting away. Others have
gone mad and were seen crouched 111 corners

An Urban Legend Come to Life
Two years ago, in a bogus Intemet news
story, a South African hospital with a high
fatality rate had discovered that a cleaning
lady bad been plugging her floor polisher in
each night by briefly unplugging an appliance that was, unknown to her, a life-support machine. In November 1999,
Chicago's TV Channel 7 lost sound for 25
minutes on the final night of the crucial ratings "sweeps" week when cleaning-service
personnel plugged a floor buffer into the
station's master control outlet, overpowering an audio circuit and driving away 40
percent of the prime-time audience.

Despite many anti-smoking programs
sponsored by the U.S. government, a
Senate subcommittee found last year that
the Department of Housing and Urban
Development bad spent $4.2 million since
1996 to help American Indians build discount cigarette stores as part of the federal
community block-grant program. (In April
2000, legislation was introduced in the
Senate to end the practice.)
In January, a New York state administrative law judge ruled after four hearings in
three years that Krystyna Maliszewska, 51,
of Brooklyn was not eligible for worker
compensation because she bad not provided
the proper "medical evidence" that her leg

had been amputated (even though voluminous hospital records were in her file) .
MaJiszewska attended each hearing and
could have shown her artificial leg and the
stump that ends at her right knee but was
never asked even to speak. (After a
February New York.Daily News story. the
state quickly reopened the case.)

People With Issues
Wynema Faye Shumate, 65, was arrested
in Ladson, South Carolina, in March on two
charges of mishandling a dead body. The
case came to light when a 27-year-old
Englishman flew to America to marry
Shumate after a hot Internet romance but
discovered that Shumate was not the age30ish woman she had portrayed online.
According to police, when the man asked
Shumate if she had other surprises. she told
him about the carved-up body in the freezer, which was that of her male former

housemate. who Shumate said had died the
year before of natural causes. Shumate was
cleared of causing the death, but. according
to the Englishman, the wedding is off.
In a case umque among women who
keep too many cats at home, a judge in
Fairfax County, Virginia, told U.S. Navy
program analyst Kristin Kierig in
November that she could keep the I 04 cats
that share her Annandale townhouse
because the house is apparently clean and
the cats groomed and in good health. Kierig
produced medical records on the cats,
showed that she cleans the 101 litter boxes
twice a d'ay and keeps the 15 water bowls
and 20 food bowls stocked, and said she
can recognize each cat by name (but she did
confess that her house might have an
"odor").

context of the ' how's plots.
The Dillards have achieved unparalleled success for a bluegrass act.
Their crossover potential has landed them on the stage with a diverse list
of acts including Elton John, Bob Dylan, The Ventures and Paul Revere
and the Raiders, to name just a few.
The Dillards also appeared often on television. In addition to their
recuning role on The Andy Griffith Show, they have appeared on Shindig,

The decorative arts collection
at Loutsville's Speed Art
Museum has been greatly
enhanced by the purchase of a
lavish tea and coffee set (known
as a dejeuner), produced io 1814
by the Sevres porcelain manufactory.
Combining richly gilded
Neoclassical ornament with precisely painted flowers, the set was
a high-style luxury item when
first produced. It has survived the
centuries completely intact. even
retaining its original. leather-covered, fitted box.
Prior to the deJeuner·s acquisition, the museum did not own an
important example of pre- 1850
European porcelain.
Purchase of the dejeuner was
made possible through the generosity of the late Alice Speed
Stoll, granddaughter of the museum's
namesake,
James
Breckenridge Speed.
THE SET 'S
IDSTORY
According to Scott Erbes. the
museum's Curator of Decorative
Arts, the finest objects are those
that are not only possess great
beauty. but also possess a welldocumented history. TI1e dejeuner
fall<> into this category.
For example. a great deal is
known about its design and manufacture thanks to the surviving
records of the Sevres factory
(which still operates today as a
state-owned company).
The records reveal the year of
manufacture and the set's original
price (2,085 Francs) as well as
who designed the various shapes,
who did the painting and gilding.
and when and how much each
piece cost to produce.
Its flower painter, Riocreux.
suffered so badly from failing
eyesight that by 1817 he was
working as the first curator of
what woUld become Sevres's
museum: perhaps a career spent
painting such small flowers with
such precise care eventually took
its toll.
The most interesting episode
in the dejeuner's early history,
however, came two years after it
had been completed. In 1816, the
set was still in the factory's sales
room. On September 25, though,
it left the factory bound for
Gennany. At the orders of the
Comte de Pradel, it was sent to
Baron von Holzhausen of
Frankfurt.
The Comte (count) was minister to the royal household of
Louis XVlii (1755-1824) and the
gift was, in fact, sent in the king's
name. The gift was a royal "thank
you" for a gift the Baron had previously given to Louis XVIJI: a
potrait of the king's older brother,
Louts XVI (1754-l793), at age
one. Later in life, Louis XVI met
the guillotine during the French
Revolution.
The Speed Art Mmuseum is
located at 2035 South Third
Street in Louisville. Other features of the museum include a
hands-on Art Learning Center for
families, a cafe and a gift shop.
Galler hours are Tuesday,
Wednesday and Friday, 10:30
a.m. to 4 p.m.; Thursday, 10:30
a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturdays. 10:30

"Self-Made Worlds," a Lraveling exhibition featuring photographs of artists·
habitats from around the world, is on dtsplay at the Kentucky Folk Art Center
through June 25.
Ever since the first cave dweller put daubs of charcoal and ochre on a cave wall.
ordinary people have sought to elaborate upon their immediate surroundings in
ways that help balance the relationship between themselves and the world they live
in, according to Adrian Swain, KFAC curator.
··self-Made Worlds" highlights artists across the globe. who have built cement
towers embedded with thousands of found objects. or constructed vast landscapes
out of society's junk, ail in the name of religion or a personal vision, Swain noted.
"They may cover their houses with mirrors or hubcaps and their neighbors may
look on with delight or horror. but always with fascination." he said.
The exhibition of photographs explores the habitats these artists have constructed and in which some live. from "Le Palais Ideal," built in a small French village
by postman Cheval to the "Hubcap Ranch" by Litto Damonte in California.
The Kentucky Folk Art Center is a cultural and educational service of Morehead
State University. funded in part by a grant from the Kentucky Arts Council. a state

The Wheel\\ right Commission meeting turned
into a debate Thursda) night as Lowell Parker and
commission members argued the merits of paying a
p011ion of the utility bill for a group of agencies that
will bring county services to WheehHifht and Left

ARH. and David Bliss from :vtountain
Comprehensive Health came before the commis~ion
requesting help v.ith utility bills for the various organization), that will share office space as different
agcnctes bring sen·ices out to the people rather than

people traveling to Prestonsburg.
Holbrook said as many as 15 agencies could offer
services on a local rather than county level.
Holbrook said a gram from C.S. Department of
Health and Human Sen·ices that would provide
$200.000 for sen•ices to needy citizens IS in the
process of being evaluated. Holbrook said some
people had to dri\e ao; far as 50 miles to do ~orne
thing as simple as rene\\ a driver's license.
According to Holbrook. Floyd County JudgeExecutive Paul Hunt Thompson has provided space
fot these 01guuizations in the old Wheelwright High

Holbrook said all the funds from the grant had to
be used for services to the citizens and none of the
money could be spent on utilities.

bill that has an amendment that would
almost double legislators' retirement
benefits.
The amendment was added to
House Bill 389 by the Senate with no
discussion. Although the governor
said in a statement issued by his press
office that he supports better compen~auon for members of the General
Assembly. he docs not support the
way the measure was adopted.
"In an area as sensitive as this. the
process oflast-minute late night legislation is intolerable,'' Patton said.
'The leadership of the Senate should
have been more sensitive to this kind
of backdoor attempt to increase legislative compensation without the
knowledge of the people."
By Friday, however, Patton had
changed his mind and signed the bill,
saying it is up to the people to punish
legislators for the amendment in fall
elections.
The legislature sustained the governor's veto on Hou~e Bill l30.
which would have prevented public
agencies from selling or distributing
private wage date and "any other
infom1ation collected by the state
from individuals and corporations.''
Patton wrote that the bill would have
conflicted with the state's Open
Records Law.
They also accepted his veto of
House Bill 946, which would have
made it easier for state employees to
be reimbursed for overnight travel.
Patton's veto message said that the
bill did not adequately accomplish
that purpose.

Little Gas Compan) when the city
bas its O\\ n gas wells.
Member Don "Booty" Hall ~aid
he and the commission were just
trying to "reach out to the people."
At one point in the meeting.
Mayor Marlee Samons told Parker,
"You only come to the meetings
when you want to raise a stink."
Parker said he had come to the
meeting to ask about blacktop for
Hall Hollow and had not intended
to speak on the utility topic, saying
he didn't want to intimidate the
commissioners io running the city's
business
After some discussion. the commission told Parker that it could be
worked out so that the money sent
to the agencies would cover other
things such as electricity and
se,.. age and not pay any of the gas
bill.
According to Parker. Mike Little
Gas Company hal> contractual
rights to provide gas to the building
and city ga~ could not bl! used at the
facility.
City Clerk Mary Anne Slone
brought it to the commission's
attention that four, not two, people
had been involved in the cleanup.
Commission members said they
knew about the hinng arrangements
for the cleanup.
Samons told the group that the
money from the prison should be
available in about a week. Hall
facetiously remarked. "Y know, the
cbeck's in the mail." ~
Slone said her hus},and could
repair the ctt) 's computer from
spare parts that he has. She said he
would do it for $50.
The commission held two closed
se~sions. The first was to discuss
Chief Charles Johnson per KRS
6 J .180 f. which deals with hiring,
firing and dismissal of employees.
Samons said no action was taken on
the matter.
Later in the meeting, Johnson
repeated his request for an office.
Jimmy Little jolcingly said. "Son,
don't bring that up again.''
After the meeting Johnson said
someone had reported that he was
working out of the city limits.
Johnson said he had been outside
the city limits to respond to a
request from Kentucky State
Police. According to Johnson,
responding to such a request is part
of his duties as a law official
In the financiaJ report, clerk
Slone gave the balances of three
accounts as of March 31: General
fund. $29.591.88: road aid fund,
$6,076.28; and petty cash, $16.65.
Contingent of funds coming
from OCCC. the commission voted
to give $2,000 to the Wheelwright
Senior Citizens Center. According
to Samons. the center is having a
hard time feeding all the seniors in
the area.
City attorney Tim Parker said
that anyone who would like to
donate to the center could send or
bring those donations to the center.
In a second closed session, the
commission listened to a complaint
from Hubert Foreman of the ethics
committee regarding an employee.
Parker said a non-elected citizen
shoulu not be privy to information
about any employee. No action was
taken concerning the member.
Several citizens asked that roads
or streets be repaired and one man
said the city was "going to the
dogs" in reference to a large number of dogs that are reportedly running loose in the city.
Both Parker and Foreman said •
that the city should reclaim land
they claim is near Glenn
Thronsberry's property. Parker said
the lack of adequate space is creating a dangerous situation at the
mouth of Hall Hollow. Parker's
"'ife recently had a minor accident
at the site.
In an~wer to complaints about
the conditions of city parks. Booty
Hall said he was gomg to take a
tour of the parks and order any
items that are needed to upgrade the
parks
•
Samons asked commissioners to
be thinking about what the city
could do to finance a Kids Day in
the near future.
The commission agreed to offer
the vacancy on the utility commission to Doug Smallwood and see if
he would accept. The utility has had
this vacancy for about six months.
In other actions, the commission
approved:
• Payment of $88 to Dollar
General Store.

however. said that he thought the
2000 legislature's legacy would ben
budget Jilled with funding for hun
dreds of new community development projects.
"I think it's going to have a major
impact," he said
Stumbo complimented Senate
• President David Williams. RBurkesville, for working to break the
budget deadlock. but he said the
Republicans suffered a blow to their
credibility in approving a new tax on
long distance telephone calls.
But while Sen. Robert Stivers, RManchestcr. agreed that the budget
was the crown jewel of the session.
he disagreed on \\ho wac; hurt more
in the battle over it.
He said that the Democrats,
rather than the GOP, took the blO\\
since they had originally used an
_. even larger tax increase to balance
the budget and were then shown by
the St:natc that the document could
be balanced without it.
Boswell summed the session up
simply: "It's been a divisive ses!>ion
without a doubt."
Insurance
•
•
One of the most hotly-debated
issues of the session was £he creation
of a high risk msurance pool ror
some of the state's most ill citizens.
Legislators
and
Insurance
Commissioner George Nichols hope
the plan. which will start on Jan. I.
2001. will bring back competition to
£he state's individual insurance market. And Nichols has said the pool
could lead to a 10 percent rate reduction for some citizens.
However. a number of legislators
argued against the bill. saying it
unfairly segregates some citizens,
was drafted with too much input
from insurance companies and could
be setting the state up for an ever
increasing liability.
The state has appropriated $38
million to start the progr.un. which
will otTer $2 million in lifetime benefits for anyone who has been denied
insurance twice or more.
Early childhood
development
•
•
Another bill that is expected to
bring about major change is the early
childhood legislation lauded by Gov.
Paul Pauon. The effort. which is
funded through the Master Tobacco
Settlement, will provide $55 million
for programs focused on improving
the Jives of children between lhe
ages of 0 and 5.
''This is going to do more for us
in the long run than we can even
imagine now," Sen. Gerald Neal, DLouisville, said when the measure
was passed on £he Senate floor.
It comes as a result of a year-long
study by the governor's Early
Childhood Task Force. which is
chaired by Nicki Patton. his daughter.
'This is a historic first step
toward the responsibility we have to
helping families and communittes
make sure that each and all children
reach their full potential in the first
few years of life," Paul Patton said.
DUI
•
One of the most comprehensive
reform packages to wm final
approval was a bill that makes substantial changes to Kentucky's drunk
driving laws.
The new law, which takes effect
July I, lowers the blood-alcohol
level for a DUI charge from .I 0 to
.08. It also prohib1ts open containers
of alcohol in the passenger area<> of
vehicle~ and makes tt much tougher
on repeat offenders and those with a
blood·alcoholle,el of .18 or higher.
Judges and prosecutors will also
now consider ··aggravating circum
stances" in OUT cases that translate
into longer jail sentences that can't
be probated. Those aggravating ctrcumstances include causing a serious injury or death due to a alcoholrelated crash, driving the wrong way
on a highway, driving in excess of 30
miles per hour above £he speed limit
and having a juvenile passenger at
the time of arrest
... Protection for women
and children
~
The governor has signed a number of tnitiatives aimed at protecting
women and children. Megan's Law
was expanded to require that photographs and other information on
convicted sex offenders be posted on
a website immediately after their
release from prison. The bill also
changes the way sexual predators are
required to register their addresses
with the state and prohibits them
from living within I,000 feel of a
school or daycare center.
Bills al~o bol~>tering £he ~tate'..,
network of rape crisis centers. setting up local councils on domestic
violence and developing children's
advocacy centers for dealing with
child sexual abuse have all been
signed.
Teacher quality
Although it had appeared as
though a hill intended tu impn.w~ thl'
quality of the <;tate's middle ...chool
teachers was about to fail. it \HI'
altered significantly and passed in
the last days of the legislath ~ session.
House Bill 77, which started out
as a broad-based bill addrcs ...ing
teacher recruitment and tnuning in a
number of ways, now includes provisions for grants and continumg
education for middle school teach
ers. It also would allow s<.:hool dbtriers to offer more pa) to experienced teachers who serve as rnemors
for young teachers.
Plans were remo\ed during dif
lercnt stages of the lcgislati\'l'
process that would have reconstructed a standards board to oversee
teacher quality. Also taken out were
provistons that would have allowed
school districts to offer signing
bonuses to teachen- in shortuge areas
and would have taken fundmg away
from distncts £hat continued to ha\ c
teachers instructing students in ... ubjects £hat the} were not tmincd to
teach.
Ten Commandments
One of most debated and di\: isive
issues of the 2000 General Assembly
wa!. the posting of the Ten
Commandments.
The bill £hat won final appwval
from both chambers \His a resolution
sponsored by Sen Albert Robinson,
R London. that allows local <,chool
dtstncts
to
post
the ·len
Commandments as part ol a historical display that would include other
documents such as the Mayflower
Compact and the Preamble to the
Kentucky Constitution.
The resolution reads thut the purpose of the display "shall not be to
advance religion. but to ad\ ancc the
important secular purpose of illu~
trating bow £he Bible and the Ten
Commandments have intluenced the
faith, morals and character of
American leaders who. in tum, have
shaped American law, public policy.
and institutions."
The House amended it, rcquinng
that a monument displaying the Ten
Commandments be relocated to a
prominent site on the Capitol
grounds. The monument \\as donal·
ed to the state nearly 30 year~ ago
but has been in storage. The Hbu'e
also added language to the bill
declaring the Ten Commandments to
be the "foundation" for many of
Kentucky's laws.
In an eff'mt to 1ry .md get some
type of enviro111m:ntal ckanup legislation passed. Sturnho attempted to
amend the bill hy 1ernm ing the container dcpo..,tts and the f,tst food food
packaging Ice. and replacing them
with an CO\ ironmental impact fee
ha~;cd on bu..,hle\s(''' gross ta.\ahle
receipts. The:- .uncndnwnt would
have retained the
mandatory
garbage collection
provision.
The amendment pHS'-l'd but the
hill was dt.:fcated 111 the !louse by a
56-38 \Ote.
But the debate didn't end there.
The House:- passed Stumbo"s bill that
would have placed the i~~ue of container dcpo..,its on the balltlt in a referendum. The \tmng Hou..,c ,·otc,
62-27. wa~n't enough. howc\'cr. as
the bill wa~ sent to an unfriendly
Senate committee and never called
for a vote.
The Prestonsburg Democrc1t has
led the charge for '\Oille type of comprchensi\e CO\ ironrnenwl cleanup
package since 199R, when ,1 group of
Estill County lhgh School students
proposed the idea to him. Stumbo
agreed to sponsor a btll tn that ses~lon but it was sub~tituted for creation of a task force to study the
ISSUe.
According to Stumbo, the task
force concluded a container deposit
program combined with mandatory
garbage collection was the best
method to dean up the stnte.
Stumbo has sa1d he \\til file container deposit legislation in the 2002
session and plans to get the btll
read) during the interim.
The death penalty
Efforts to abolish or place a
moratorium on the dc~tlh penalty in
Kentucky also failed.
House Bill 880 and Senate Bill

other topic~ as well.
Workers' Comp
With the old saying "something is
better than nothing," legislators
approved changes to the state's
workers' compensation program hut
not the substantial revi,ions proposed by the governor and other
Democrats.
Because the legislature falied to
address one of the key componl·nts
of the reform package sought by
Patton. the governor has satd he'll
call a special session to address
black lung.
The changes that were made
include doubling the benetiL' paid in
cases where the worker b killed,
revising the adjudication p!'Ol·e,.., so
administrative law judges can conduct benefit review conferences.
decreasing from 90 to 60 days the
time allowed for u final decision
from an adminjstrative law judge,
1ncreasing benefits to workers \\ ho

where safet} standards arc intentionally violated.
Patton·s proposal would have
placed more emphasis on reuaining
and changed the way bla<.:k lung
cases are evaluated. making 1t easier
tor coal mmers to qualify for black
lung benefits.
Knowledge-based
economy
The legislature appropriated $55
million lor preparing the state to participate in and benefit from change~
to the economy of the 21st rentury.
Of that, $20 million will go toward
projects aimed at crcatmg high tech
JObs, while another $20 million will
be spent on projects fordc\eloping

Bottle bill
Although a number ot high-pro·
file initiallvcs made it out of the session intact. the General Assembly
spent much of tts umc argutng over
issues that did not emerge from both
chambers.
The most noteworthy of these
was House Bill J, or the "bottle bill"

Budget may have
litnited future
resources
There was a famous Warner Brothers cartoon in
which a sheep dog and a \volf met in the morning, said
their pleasantrie<> to each other. then went to workthe wolf trying to steal sheep. the dog trying to stop
him. At the end of the day. the) punched the clock.
wished each other well and went home.
lf that cartoon were remade today. the 2000 General
Assembl) could star in it.
With the defection of two Democrats to the
Republican party. thus swinging control of the Senate to
the GOP for the first time, the session began with wariness b) Democrats. It moved at its normal pace for
much of its 60 working days. spent an inordinate
amount of time discussing the Ten Commandments and
in the final two weeks became a hotbed for emotional
rhetonc. Then. after a cooling off period. bitter politicaJ
rivals tossed their arms around each other's shoulders
and passed a $14 billion budget nearly unanimously in
both house~.
Call it the ''Frankfort miracle" if you will. a budget
that delivered many projects - espec1ally to this area,
for a change - while not substantially raising taxes.
But we question whether the final deal is in the best
interest of the state's future.
First. the Republican Senate's notion that this was a
"revenue neutral'' budget needs to be dismissed. The
budget adds a 6-percent sale:. tax on interstate long-distance telephone calls that is expected to raise $89 million over two years. It cuts taxes that businesses pay for
unemployment insurance. a reduction of $75 million.
There is nothing neutral for those who make long-distance calls and do not pay unemployment insurance.
There had to be additional revenue to pay for everything the legislature wanted and this one tax did not
covt:r it all. Su the stale will use its ability to float
bonds to pay for its current projects, then send the bills
to future legislatures. and thus Kentuckians.
Using bonds is nothing new and in many cases
appropriate. as long as there is a future funding mechanism to pay the debts incurred. We question whether
future legislatures will be saddled with huge debts,
especially if there is an economic downturn. which at
some point seems inevitable.
The 1998 legislators, flush v. ith a huge surplus, were
the proverbial kids in the candy story when doling out
cash to their communities. Even when there is less
money to spend. the 2000 assembly showed it is resistant to come home empty-handed.
The question remains. did this assembly ensure there
will be empty pockets in the future by disallowing taxes
that would pay off its debts?

We would first like to thank Mr. Dale Pack and
Mrs. Sherry Caudill. Their help in studying health
should really help our scores.
Secondly, we would like to thank Mrs. Tammy
Mullins. She really made learning, music fun. We

good thanks to Mrs. Susan Tackett. Mrs. Tackett has
covered lot~ of interesting things with us. Thanks.
Mrs Tackett.
We woukl also like to thank Mr. Jeff Castle. He

Political corruption is poisonous
fruit of forced union dues
by Reed L a r son
263 SOUTH CENTRAL AVENUE
PRESTONSBURG, KENTUCKY 41653
MMJAGING_EPITQB
( ACIUAL WOflS>'>
On May 3, a C.S. House panel will hold a
special hearing to re-evaluate federal labor policy's pro-forced unionism bias.
The six provisions in the National Labor
Relations Act (NL RA) and Railway Labor Act
(RLA) that authorize and promote the forced
payment of union dues and "fees" as a job condi ~
tion now directly curb the freedom of eight million employees nationwide.
But congressionally-imposed forced union
d ues· corrosive influence on the American political system harms every citizen \.\ ho he lie' e" in
representative government as our Pounding
Fathers understood it.
A large share of workers· forced dues are
commandcred to pay for '·in kind" support for
union boss -favored candidates such as phone
bunks, get-ouHhe-\ otc drives, and "volunteer"
campaign organizing work by union staff who
remain on the union payroll.
Rutgers University economist Leo Troy. a
lead1ng authority on trade unions. estimates Big
Labor spent up to $500 million from general
funds, wh1ch cons1st mostly of forced dues, on
"in-kind" federal politics in the last presidential
eil:ction cycle."
That's far more than all 199-5-96 nonunion
PAC and "soft money" contributions to federal
candidates and natro~al party commiuecs com

reaction to
Elian reunion
Elian Gonzalez is back with his
father.
That's the way it should be.
And as Stan Lee always wrote. 'nuff
said.
•••••••
Well, maybe not.
A lot was made of the fact that it
took Immigration and Naturalization
Service agents three minutes to leave
with the boy from the time the} entered
the Gonzalez home.
1 suppo~e that is meant to be :.orne
type of reassurance that the operation
went smoothly, \\ ith minimal trauma.
To me, though. three minute' of ha\'ing camo-clad soldiers waving automatic weapons in the house would be about
180 seconds too long.
Not that I can really blame the go\ernment for the action which was taken.
There's enough blame to go around on
both sides for not wrapping up this torturous episode six months ago.
•••••••
Meanwhile. back in Miami. folks
upset with the government's decision to
forcefully reunite the child with his
father are busy setting their ov..n neighborhoods on fire. I never did understand
the logic of that form of protest.
Of course. what more can you expect
from people who believe a 6-year-old is
better off li' ing with distant relatives he
had never before seen, rather than with
his own father?
•••••••
While we're on the subject of irrational beha\ ior. now is as good a time
as any to turn our attention to the
recently-ended session of the state legislature.
Did Floyd County make out like
bandits or what'?
Over the next two years. something
like $57 million will be spent within
these boundaries.
Oops ... better make that $58 million.
Prestonsburg Mayor Jerry Fannin called
the other day to ~a) that it seems another million for the city's mountaintop
golf course and development project
was tucked away somewhere in the
reams of paper \\ hich make up the state
budget.
Easy mistake. After all, what's
another million'?
.......
Then again. that overlooked lineitem brings the totaJ of state spending
on the development project this year to
$4 million, not countmg another '1>9.5
million which is going to be spent to
build a road up there.
. Now, this is normally where I quell
lion the spending priorities of our elected officials. I usually rnight ask the
question. hov. many waterlines and
sewerlines could have been laid for
$13.5 million'? How many industrial
spec buildings could have been constructed? Ho\\- many miles of fiber
optic cable could have heen strung .up
to bnng Floyd County's technological
infrasmrcturc into the 21st century?
Not that those are batl questron!'.. To
me, it\ always a good idea to ask if our
govemment is sen ing us properly.
Bur Fannm had a good an..wer to
that line of thinking. He pointed out that
industry folks v.ho make decisions

about ''here to locate new facilities look at the surrounding community
to sec what types of recreational facilities arc a\'ailable. They want to be
assured that the employees they bnng into a new region will be happy
living there, that the quality of life makes the grade.
In short. Funnin said. the best way to de\'elop our area to make it
attrac:tive to outsiders is to de\elop it so that it is attractive to us.
And it's not like the golf course is coming at the expense of more traditional infrastructural impro\emcnts. There is, after all. a million in the
budget for \\aterlines and somewhere in the neighborhood of $47 million
for ne\\ roads and bridges.
Is the mountaintop project worth the money being spent on it? Only
time will tell.
But, after talking with Fannin about the subject. I do under~tand the
~ benefits of planning community development on several levels simultaneously, rather than concentrating solely on the basics.

In ending this week. I would just like to wish Chuck Culpepper all the
.best with his new job at the Oregonian. 'Ibday is the Lexington Heraldl cadt:r sport' columnist's last day covering the Bluegrass State.

And union officials recently
tacitly indicated that their federal
"in-kind" political spending in
the current presidential election
cycle may far exceed $'i00 million.
Union sources confirmed to
Washngton Post reporter Frank
Svoboda in February that the $40
million the AFL-CIO has admitted it is spending on '"in-kind"'
support for 2000 campaigns
"does not include any money
spent by the federation's 68
member unions."
The biannual revenue of highly political AFL-ClO affiliates
such as the Teamsters, the United
Autoworkers.
the American
Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees. etc.. is
more than 20 times larger than
the AFL-CIO umbrella organization's.
If large affiliates of the AFLCIO spend an identical share of
their revenue on "in-kind" politics (a reasonable hypothesis).
then the total 2000 campaign war
chest for the AFL-CIO conglomerate is more than $900 million!
Consisting as it does primarily
of involuntary contributions
siphoned off from union dues ami
"fees" that workers arc forcL·d
under federal or state la\.\1 to pay.
or be fired. the union bosses· war
chest io; the worst form of political corruption in America.
And Big Labor's power to
swing elections \\ ith forced-dues
money has already been demonstrated in the Democratic presidential primarie~ this year.

Speaking with a southern tongue flavored
with Irish tones. he played Kenton. Familiar
sounds of the Appalachian accent floWl'd in his
words of "hit. buft1ers. hars, and Bayvers."
Hanka's portrayal gave Kenton a cantankerous personality and an almost laz) disposition
because of his resistance to farmwork.
Feigning the ahility to reau in his act, Jlanka
said that Kenton could not read but in fact memorized what was read to him l hcn•fore he
would pretend to read newspapers or other written materials. Evidence exists that Kenton
couldn't sign his name until he was 63. said
Hanka.

his family, his loss of land, his friendship with

PRIDE gains international recognition
LEXINGTON- The PRIDE environmental cleanup program, already
a finalist for the coveted Silver Anvil
award from the Public Relations
Society of America. has received a
Summit Creati\C Award in the
"Public Sen icc/Political" category.
Gaining national recognition from
PRSA for lhe program's public education and community relations components. PRIDE is now being recognized intemationally for its creative
and multimedia component.
The bronze award-winning video
cnll) wa!> taped and edited by Vtdeo
Editing Sen ices, a video production
company in Lexington.
"This video enabled us to have a
IOL of fun while working for a program that has both educational and
environmental importance for
Kentucky," said Arthur Rouse, president ofVES.
The video depicts a teenage girl
being led on an area tour by an animated frog, PRIDE mascot J.

The cities that had water and
sewer plants made advances to the
districts.
Unlike most of areas in the
state, Recktenwald said the Big
Sandy region ha;; traditionally
worked together beginmng with
the Big Sandy Council. Big Sandy
ADD took those reigns, he said,
and has continued the effort.
Although he said lol.·al leaders
have not always agreed. friends
and enemies have worked together
for the best.
That cooperation ha~ to do with
the quality of leadership. he said.
"By and large. the leaders have
put aside their personal differences," Recktenwald said. It was
this willingness to work together
that has made the growth of the
region possible.
The federal prison in Martin

Magoffin counties so far away and
having the least to gain, they still
want to be a part of it, he said.
Roger Recktenwald came to
eastern Kentucky a foreigner. But
he found many of the stereotypes
about the region were false.
"The thing that has always
intrigued me," he said. ··with all the
stereotypes. and 1 have visited
every area, [ never fell excluded."
It was recently he was told he
"doesn't talk like us."
"People treat you like they want
to be treated. Outsiders are evil, I
have never encountered that," he
said.
Appalachia has gained a reputatton for not being aggressive. not as
good and not as smart. he c;aid.
Once people begin to believe the
stereotype. they take on those characteristics.
"If we consistently push this
stuff. then it starts putting you
down." he said.
Sykes Enterprises of Pike,ille
shattered many of those beliefs,
Recktenwald said. The compan)
assumed the worst whl!n coming
into the area. They figured because
they were building in Appalachia
they would ha~e to start their training with ba~ic computer skills but
when the) opened "people walked
through the door qualified." he
said.
"If people aren't aware of their
strength~. they will ne\'er change,"
said Recktenwald but added the
region ha:. changed.
The regional political arena has
~een and used BSADD as a source
for improving the area. said the
exiting director.
''The area perceives it as a
forum or a place to get ideas... he
said.
··People show up at these meetings to get things done." he c;aid.
"And we have got a strong staff
that is dedicated to seeing development in the area.''
Under Recktenwald. the ADD
has headed up or contributed to
many community de\'elopment
projects, including improving the
livability of communities through
water and sewer projects, the cutthru project in Salyersville, the
Prestonsburg golf course and the
construction of a new furniture factory in Pikeville.
''I see things going on right now
and I am excited about the possibilities.'' said Recktenwald. who said
the next generation of workers will
take the region to a new level with
their grasp of the e-commercc
industry.
Recktenwald leaves the ADD
for a ne\\ job in the Governor·,
oftice in Frankfort. His many traveled miles in the Big Sandy region
\\ill be magnified in his new position, as he will lead attempb to link
water districts and sewer systems
together
across
the
Commonwealth.
rloyd. Johnson. and Magoffin
counties have set a precedent for
good water and sewer service. he
said. Floyd County is in frnnt of the
CUf\'e, he !>aid.
Following the governor's goal
of having quality water in ever)
Kentucky home by 2020. the
Kentucky Infrastructure Authority
will take the area's examples and
present them to county and city
governments across the state.
Recktenwald said although he
has been the figurehead of the Big
Sand) Area Development District
for years he has done nothing on
his own.
"Everybody is part of the
process." he said.
It is this team atmosphere he
hopes to take with him lo the KIA.

WESTERVll LE. OH -During May 7~13, National Ground Water
Awareness Week 2(X)Cl,lhe National Ground Water Association (NGWA)
is a~king people to consider that a vast supply of high quality water may
lie in the ground beneath their feet.
Ground \\ ater 1s one of E.-uth's most precious natural resources. It is an
ample and often underutilized ~ource of fresh water, and NGWA encourages consumers to Jearn more about ground water :md ib role in their

'·Ground water is one of our nation's, and the world's, most valuable
natural resource.<:.'' said Robert W. Reichart, president of the NGWA Board
of Directors. "It is Important that we all realize the crucial role it will contmue to pia~ in human water -.upply if \Ve carefully manage and protect it."
• Ground Water Facts
Ground water, the \\ ater that soaks into the soil from precipitation and
mm es dm\ 11\\·ard to till crack..., and other openings in beds of rocks and
&md, makes up about 90 percent of the fre~h water on earth, not including
polar ice caps.
Aquifers arc w1derground laye~ of porous natural material that contain

• Ground Water as Drinking Water
In many case~. private water wells wpping ground water resources can

According to a J9l)X independent market sun·ey sponsored b) NGWA.,

ike many things in golf, the width
of your stance (how far apart your
heels are) is "negotiable," which
is my term for swing mechanics
that change from player to player.
But while there is no one stance
width that all players must adopt. there are some
guidelines that you should follow. The width of
your stance influences your stability, balance and
mobility, all non-negotiable qualities of a good
golf swing.
Too wide a stance limits your ability to tum your
hips correctly and encourages excessive lateral
motion. It is a major cause of sliding ahead of·
the ball during the downswing. a mistake that
produces, among other things. weak slices and
pop-ups.
Too wide a stance also makes it difficult to get
behind the ball during your backswing, an error
that prevents you from making a good turn away
from the ball. Players with excessively wide
stances are thereby prone to picking the club up to
the top of the swing with little if any coiling of the
body. This leads to a weak, lunging swing lacking
both grace and power.
Too narrow a stance is no bargain cilher because
its legacy is often the dreaded reverse weight shift
- your weight stays in your front hip on the way
back and then, as the clubhead ~>wings to the ball on
the downswing, the weight shifts into the back
hip, just the reverse of where it should be.
The correct stance width will allow the following: When the clubhead is moving a\\ ay from the
ball. you should be in your back or trail hip; when
the clubhead is coming to the ball, you should be in
your front or target hip.
Here is an easy \\a) to develop the correct heel

ESPN covers the Super Bowl of snowshoeing
But there is just no better way to get arount
in the snow than with a pair of snowshoes.
"It's like having four-wheel drive for your feet," said
Matt Sampson, 27, of Evergreen, Colo., who promotes
the sport through his business, The Snow U!opard.
"Snowshoes make it easy to get around."
Contrary to popular belief, "snowshoes don't let you
float on the top of snow. but they keep you from sinkin.
all the way to the bottom." Sampson said. "You can
actually walk up a snow<overed hill."
And people have been getting around North Americ
this way for a long time.
'1t's been around for 6,000 years," said Ben Carr, wh
helps to run snowshoecenter.com. "It's an easy activity
become involved in and an easy activity to perform for
ages. Literally, in five !'teps you arc an expert!"
'1f you can put one foot in front of the other, you can
snowshoe," Sampson said. There are other benefits th;
attract an estimated 5 million or more Americans and
Canadians to snowshoeing.
First off, it is a low-impact aerobic activity.
"Quite simply, snowshoeing promotes good health,"
Carr said.
And it doesn't cost a lot. Snowshoes run from $120 t•
$300, with the average pair costing about $220, SampS<
said. Snowshoes may be just about all you need.
'There are no special racks to carry the snowshoes,
special footwear. and snowshoes are constructed to Ia~
long time," Carr said.
You don't need slopes or lifts, either.
"A lot of people don'tlike paying $60 a day for lift
tickets for crowded ski areas." Sampson said.

Tips From the Pros
Bert Fischer prepares to launch his sailfish kite over Lake Okeechobee.
Go Fly a Kite
Thats the Advice
From a Successful
Florida Bass Guide
•By TIM TUCKER, Outdoors Writer
n the early-morning light, you don't expect to
see somebody flying~ kite out in the middle
of Florida's vast Lake Okeechobee. After all,
there are plenty of places to fly a kite that
don't require the use of a boat.
Some might think that this guy !lying a kite
from his boat is a little crazy.
But the kite belongs to Bert Fischer. And Fischer
is anything but crazy.
Unless you count the fact that
he's crazy about catching big
bass.
Which brings us to his kite.
Fischer, a veteran bass guide,
has long been an avid saltwater
angler. In fact, he guides inshore
saltwater trips as well. As a bass
fisherman, one of his biggest
frustrations was one shared by
countless other fishermen on
lakes with heavy growths of vegetation - finding a way to effectively fish the dense cover where
the trophy bass live.
Seeing how effectively the
specially designed fishing kite
worked in saltwater, Fischer
asked himself. "Why wouldn't a
kite work for putting live bait in
the heaviest, nastit'st cover on
Lake Okeechobee?"

¥
fishing. All be~ause he is able to fish in places that traditional bait fishermen can't penetrate.
"It goes places where no shiner has ever gone
before." Fischer said of his kite.
For kite fishing for big bass, Fischer uses large
shiners at times. as well as hand-sized bluegill.
With kite fishing in freshwater, the bluegill or large
shiner is kept near the top of the surface. Fischer
sometimes clips the tail tin of the bait to give it the
added look of an injured baitfish (not to mention the
smell). The sliR"htly injured bluegill creates a disturbance on tht> surface that seems to attract bass from
considerable distances.
The most important part of the system, the kite. is
a light or medium Pompanette kite rigged on a stiff
rod and lar~e-spool reel. The reel cannot have a levelwind reel because the swivels near the release clip
would get caught up in it.
Fischer never uses anything less than 20-pound
line for this type of big-bass fishing. And 30-pound
test isn't out of the question,
depending on the cover. The
actual fishing outfit is a traditional shiner rod and reel
(fiberglass flipping stick and
wide-spool reel).
Ti
ut there is more than an economic reason to get •
the slopes.

trail and discovering the unseen outdoors during wintt
Carr said. 'This is the one activity where you can
determine your direction."
That appeal appears to be growing. In January, Carr
hosted Winter Trails 2000, and about 350 would-be
snowshoers showed up. 11te event included hikes, mir
seminars on snowshoeing, and a chance to mingle witl
others who like to be outdoors in the winter.
Although it is a slow-paced. low-impact sport, there i
still danger in snowshoeing, although less than other
winter sports such as skiing or snowboarding.

B

hat no other type of Jiveail fishing does: the ability
to cover a great deal of water and
fish openings in heavy vegetation that are out of the question
for typical shiner fishing.
"Because the kite keeps the
bait out in front of you and on
the surface, you can cover so
much more water than you
could if you were fishing a

said. "It allows you to fish heavy

Fantasy Fishing League You've undoubtedly heard
of the fantasy ba~eball and footballlt>agues (sometimes
called rotisserie leagues) in which sports fans draft their
own teams and follow their exploits of the real-life
athletes for fun and profit. Well, fishing fans can now
have a stake in the success and failure of their fishing
heroes with the debut of the 11rst such fishing league on
the World Wide Web.
'The Pro Fishin Report \\'eb site broke new ground on
the Internet recent!} with the first tournament (the
Kmart BASSMASTER Florida Top 150) in its innovative
Fantasy Fishing Lcagut::. And it has already been eagerly
embraced by fishing fans on the Web.
~
"We have had an overwhelming response so far, and
it's getting even better," said Chad Potts, PFR president
"People are starting to figure out that they can win
more money when they get their friends to participate. so
it's growing fast. It won't be too long before there will be
over 100,000 participants. and a person that pays $10 on
the Internet to compete in the Fantasy Fishing U!ague
could actually win more money than the real-life angler
wins.''
Each Fantasy Fishing League event (BASSMASTER or
FLWTour) has a $10 entry fee and a guaranteed firstplace payback of $250. One out of every 10 fantasy league
participants receives a check, and first place is usually
equal to the number of participants (for example 1.500
• entrants means a first-place prize of$1,500).
To play, all you have to do is go to the Fantasy Fishing
League at www.profishinreport.com, select a particular
tournament. choose your team of 12 pros. and enter your
guess as to the overall \\inning weight of the tournament
(to be used as a tiebrt'aker).

ou knoY. what really
amazes me? Jeff Gordon
doesn't e\'Cn have to win
e\ ery week to break record~ set by
Dale Earnhardt.
Did you hear about the latest
one? No. not the fact that Gordon
won his 50th race a year faster than
Earnhardt did. The latest record
had to do with Gordon starting
from the 36th position at Talladega
and still winning. That's the worst
starting position ever for a
Talladega winner. Earnhardt had
set the record last fall by winning
after starting 27th.
Earnhardt just can't get out of
Gordon's shadow, can he'?
OK. now I've got a few messages to return:
To the hundreds who wrote in to
tell me Gordon wouldn't win again.
I guess you were wrong.
To the dozens who said I was
crazy when I said Gordon would be
in the top 10 soon, I guess you
were wrong.
To those who said Gordon had
only been successful because of
former crew chief Ra) Evemham,
you obviously belong to be lumped
in with the rest of the doubters.
because you were "rong. too.
Gordon will become the first
two-time winner of the season next
week in California. That will put
him in the top five of the overall
standings. Then. everyone better
watch out. With Gordon not winning everything, parity was the
name of the game - kind of like
when Michael Jordan left the NBA
and the also-rans could win once in
a while.
Well, the Michael Jordan of
NASCAR is back.
Everything else. however. is the
same.

f your favorite driver hasn't won
a race yet, don't be upset. The
way this season is going, there's
a good chance he might pull off a
victory soon.
By winning Sunday's Die Hard
500 at Talladega, Jeff Gordon
became the ninth different driver to
take the checkered flag over the first
nine races of the 2000 season. Never
before in NASCAR history have the
first nine races of a season had nine
different winners.
Those nine winners combined for
28 of the 33 victories last season.
but it took 13 races to get nine different winners in 1999. and it took
25 races before a lOth different driver claimed victory.
The only driver<. who posted wins
in 1999 but haven't won this season
are Tony Stewart, John Andretti and
Joe Nemechek.
The way the year is going. it
wouldn't be surprising to see another first-time winner in victory lane
April 30 in California. Already this
season, Ward Burton made his first
trip to victory lane in over four
years, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. won in
just his 12th Winston Cup race.
Dale Earnhardt Sr.• who also has
won this season. believes increased
competition is the reason wh) so
many different drivers are winning.
"The racing continues to get closer and closer." said Earnhardt. who
won in Atlanta a few weeks ago.
"There used to be a dominant fe\o\
who always were in contention to
win every week. Now that list has
grown to the top 25 or better. Look

In a city where gridlock is a way of
lije, the dlahce to drive 200 mph
would be pretty tempting, don't you
think? Perhaps that partially explains
why Silicon Entertainment has opened
its 14th and latest NASCAR Silicon
Motor Speedway racing center in the
Los Angeles area, at the Universal
CifYWalk entertainment complex.
the racing center features 12 stockcar simulators that give visrtors the
thrill of high-speed NASCAR competition. Racers are immersed to the point
where they feel virtually every banked
tum, bump and hard shift. Fortunately,
the simulated concrete walls are far
more forgiving than they are on the
real Winston Cup circuit The racing
center also offers grandstand viewing
for spectators and sells motorsports
merchandise.

We retell this one \\ hich comes
from Allan Trout via Watt Hale:
It wa\ in the depths of the depression when the next meal was of deep
concern to millions of Americans.
Two elderly friends met in a town of
the region. hailed each other heartily
after a separation of many months.
Finally. one asked, the other. "How's
your pa."
··pa 's dead," the other sadly
informed him. "l ladn 't you heard?"
The other. of course. hadn't, and
he inquired about the details.
" He was eatin' his dinner. and
broke his neck," the bereaved son
explained.
"Broke his neck? Did he fall out of
his chair'?"
"Nope. He "as up in that persimmon tree. out back of the house. and
he fell out.''

Uveitis needs both eye doctor's
and family doctor's care
Question: I ...aw my eye doctor because I have been
havmg eye pain. particularly when I'm in bright light. He
satd that I had uveitis and has treated me for it. but he also
wants me to ~cc my family doctor because he said the
back pain I've been experiencing might be related to my
eye problem.... Are these doctors in cahoots, or could my
back pain and eye problems really ha"e the same cause?
Answer: It ic;; crrtainly possible to ha\e uveitis and
back pain as a consequence of !he same illnc~:-.. but you
might also simply ha\c two different problems that are
producing '>)mptom.., at the same time. I'm sure that your
eye doctor want~ to \\Ork with your family physician to
tind out the <;pccilic cause or causes of your symptoms so
that the proper treatment can be used.
Uveitis, the p<uticular type of eye trouble you have.
deserves a hit ol explanation. ru start with the way the eye
ts built. The eye has a tough outer wall that is composed
of three major Ia) ct s. and a center that is filled with a clear
and colorles~ fluid.
The tough outer la)er of the eye includes the transparent cornea mer the pupil as \\ell as the \\hitc of the eye.
called the sclera. aruund the remainder of the e)eball. The
inner layer con-.ish of the light-sensitive opttc nerve.
Between thl!se two- in the layer called the uvea- is the
location of your eye trouble.
The uvca contains the iris. that colored part that conlrols the nmount of light entering the eye, the coroid
plexus thut is a collection of many small blood vessels,
and an organ named the ciliary body that produces the
tluid filling the eye.
Inflammation of the uvea is called uveitis. the condition you ha\e. lllio.; cauc;e:-. general eye discomfort, a' well
a.c; the pain )OU experience in bright light. As you know.
bright light <.'auses the pupil - the opemng in the center
of the ith through which light enters the eye - to contract.
The way light causes this automatic response is rather
complex. but ultimately the pupil constncts because the
sma11 muscles of the irio; make it do so. The!.c muscles
become inflamed und sore \"lth uveitis. Therefore, it hurts
ru. they contract as an automatic response to being m
bright light.
Now, your back pain poses an interesting dilemma. "
Back pain is a nom1al charncteristic of the human !>pedes.
More than 80 percent of the population will lose at least
some lime off the job during their work career because of
back pain.
Perhaps your back pain is simply !his common disorder involving a dbrurbance in the smooth coordination
between the muscles. nen ous system. bones and circulation of the back. However. your back pam may also be the
consequence of a speciall)pe of arthritis that suikes from
five to 500 out of every 1,000.
You may have what we doctors call a spondylarthropalhy. (Yc~. it's another tenible doctor name).
Spondylarthropathies arc specific types of arthritis that
predominantly attack the joints of the spine.
Ankylol.ing spond) litis is the most prevalent of thec;e.
but Reiter'c; syndrome and psoratic arthritis are also fairly
common. These conditione; attack about 1.5 percent of
whites. 4 percent of American blacks. 18 percent of Pima
lndians. 50 percent of Haida Indians in Canada and almost
no one of Asian anccsll).
All spondylarthropathics can aJso cause uveitis. In fact.
in some individuals the first symptom of these types of
arthritis is eye pain, and it may take months or years for
joint pain to "show up" and make the diagnosts possible.
I think your eye doctor is trying to take good care of
you - not just your eyes. but all of you. He wants to be
sure that your uveitis does not indicate a more serious
underlying illness such a.<; a spondylarthropathy.
•
Your doctors are not in cahoots. because that word
indicates a que~llonable motive for their collaboration.
Instead. they appear to be working together for an honorable goal - your good health.

Accountability. It's a value
Amcncans take seriously-so seriously that our civil justice system
is based on the idea that justice is
served only when people who act
irresponsibly are fon.:ed to compensate those they hurt.
Gnfortunatcly. one bill pending
in Congress proposes to lighten the
accountabilit} of reckless drivers
\\ ho cause auto accidents.
fhe "Auto Chotec Reform Act
of 1999" (ll.R. 14 7 5 in the House.
S. 837 in the Senate) promotes "nofault'' msurancc-an alternative to
lraditional insurance that some
'tates experimented \\ ith in the
1970s.
The liat'lility systems we have
110\\ apportion fault. hold negligent
dri' ers responsible. and force reckless dt ivers to compensate innocent
dri' er' for their losses.
On the other hand, no-fault sysll..•ms rcquin: that both innocent and
reckless drivers pay for damages
resultlllg trom acctdents. regardless of who is at fault.
Under the federal bills' no-fault
provisions. innocent drivers must
a.,k their own insurance companies
tn pa) for lost wages. medical
expenses. and funeral cosls-and
lca\e~ them unable to force reckles' dri\ers to pay for other damages. such as the loss of a child or
se\ ere disfigurement
Tim R) les. former commissioner of insurance of the state of
Georgta. descnbes it this wa). "If a
reckless driver runs a stop stgn.
hits your car. kills your child,
destroys your ability to ever have
another child, and leaves you a
paraplegic. you can never hold the
errant driver or his insurance com
pany personally or financially
responsible.
Ultimately. what you may getpcrhap' after suing ) our O\\ n inslllance compan}-are your medical
expenses. lost wages, and funeral
costs. Nothing for ) our child.
~othing for loss of fertility.
Nothing for being left an invalid
for life."
Supporters of the bill say that
Implementing no-fault systems
would reduce insurance premiums
for all drivers in part by eliminating the cost of seeking compensation for less tangible. non-economic damages.
In addition. they say. lowering
the cost of premiums would allow
more low-income drivers to buy
insurance.
But the experience of two states
that expenmented with no fault
plans shows that rate), won· t necessarily go down. Insurance rates in
Connecticut and Georgia both
fell-7 and 6 percent. respectively-only after no-fault plan.., were
repealed there.
E'en if no-fault did lead to cost
sa\'ings. there's no guarantee that
insurance companies would pass
those sa\ tngs onto their customers
In addition. drivers in no-fault
plans who wanted coverage for
those less tangible. non-econom1c
damages (which are taken care of
in traditional systems) would have
to buy extra insurance-thus raising the total cost of their premiums.
Consumers should take a close
look when government entities
consider no-fault insurance.
We all want lower insurance
premiums. but bills like the "Auto
Choice Reform Act of 1999" don't
give good dri,·ers much of a
choice-it onl} makes it more likely lhe) \\ill pa) for bad dri\Crs ·
reckless beha' ior. That lea' es thc
\\ rong people accountable.

(NL'E) Kc\ in j, a high-,chool -.enior enrolled

He'd heard about the lcgcndaJ) Underground

before the v.ar broke out, and ~o chose that a-.. hi-..

the Underground Railroad bl!lore he could st.trt

Normally. the 17-ycar-old honor-.. student
would spend days researching the subject at the

The sla,es· freedom was made possible h)
courageous men and women who believed in the
right of all humans to be free from human
bondage.
As Charles H. Blockson wrote in a "'ational
Geographic article. the Underground Railroad
was "a network of paths through the woods and
fields. riverboats and ships. trains and wagons. all
haunted b) the specter of recapture."

away from metropolitan centers in the lase
decade three t1mes faster chan during che previous 10 years, and hometowns such as Mount
Vernon, Ohio, are one of the reasons why.
Phil Herald left rhe cree-lined streets of chis
quiet cown in 1981 for a high-paying, highpressure career as an electronics salesman in
Southern California, buc through rhe freeways,
smog, and stress, the memories of a simpler life
in his hometown of 14,000 lingered on. Then in
1991, righr afcer the birch of rheir second child,
Phil and his wife Dina finaUy packed their
newborn
belongings and their children Christine and 3-year-old John - and rerurned
co Mounr Vernon. Phil still sells electronics, but
now it's from the appliance score founded by his
father nearly 40 years ago.

and KicchenAid refrigerators at Herald's Appli-

a high-paying job for a simpler lifesryle, making
less money bur enjoying che quality of life more.
Money doesn't always equate co happiness."
Dina, 3 7, grew up in a mecropolican area of
New Jersey, bur visited Mount Vernon often

In the comment section of
Monday night's Hoyd County
Board of Education meeting at
Clark Elementary. Hoyd County
Education As,ociatton (FCEA)
president Donna Collins voiced the
association's concerns about the
way the board will address House
Bill 324.
House Bill 324 requires each
public elementary and secondary
school to establish and maintain a
school library media center that is
~laffed by a celtlficd 111cu~<~ linrauan.
In a mone) -sa\ mg mo' e. the
Ao) d County ~chool mo..,ed librarians to the cla,sroom. Collin~ asked
if those people \\ould be considered ''hen the board complied with
the btll.
Collins 'iaid that there was a
rumor that the board had already
Cleated a position and selected a
person f01 the position that would
U\ ersee the board compliance with
the law.
After being assured by both
board chairman Terry Dotson and
state manager Woodrow Carter that
the topic has not been discussed on
any leveL Collins .lsked about the
possibility of enclosing the name of
the person rumored to be hired in a
sealed envelope and opening it
after a dech.ion ic; made to sec if the
name agrees '' 1th the person actually hired.
Dotson told Collins and the
audience that thi" board has not
alway' done things perfectly. but
the) ha'c not engaged in action-.
like those suggested h) the media
specialist situ.ttion.

At an earlier meeting. Dotson
began asking principals and school
personnel what the board could do
to help them in their jobs. Several
people have come before the hoard
making requests since that invitation.
Gwen Harmon and Martha
Damron addressed the board with
Damron asking that the library at
Prestonsburg Elementary he computer automated and Harmon asked
that some of the classrooms be
tiled. The board said they would
look at automating all the libraries
in the county and Johnnie Ross said
he thought he could get some tih:
donated if the maintenance depart
ment could install it.
Ronald Kidd came before the
board asking for assistance in starting a football program at John M.
Stumbo. Supt. Paul Fanning said a
plan was already being considered
that would ha\ e a football program
at the school this fall.
Milton Han·e) and Teresa Trout
asked the board to consider the

from a facility with empty room and

Thompson said.
Rogers and Bickford began the
PRIDE program in 1997 to help
focus efforts by federal, state and
local governments to clean up the
region's streams and rivers of
sewage and garbage. end illegal
trash dumps, increase environmental awareness. and promote
• citizens' pride in their communities.
Nearly $70 million in funding
has been provided for PRIDErelated projects in the 40-county
PRIDE region since the program
began. Last month alone, Rogers
announced nearly $800.000 in
PRIDE community grants.
PRIDE
Personal
Responsibility in a Desireable
Environment- is funded through
federal appropriations Rogers has
secured on behalf of PRIDE projects across southern and eastern
Kentucky.
"We can attract tourists.
retirees, new businesses and new
jobs by cleaning up our region.
and that's the whole idea behind
PRIDE campaigns,·· Rogers said
at McDowell. "The PRIDE Spring
Cleanup brings renewed attention
to our efforts and brings people
together who have the combined
goal of making our home a better
place for generations Lo come."
Following the McDowell meeting, the congressman and his
entourage attended a luncheon at
Jenny Wiley State Resort Park.
hosted by the Floyd County
• Chamber of Commerce and
Prestonsburg Rotary Club.
There, Rogers gave a summary
•J
of current PRIDE projects for the
luncheon guests. He showed a
map of stra1ght-pipe sewer lines in
Kentucky, with the major concen·
tration in the eastern part of the
state.
He said that a ·•conservative
number" of straight pipes was
32,000 and pointed to the Corps of
Engineers' expanded role in dealing with wastewater through innovative filtering systems and lowinterest loans for septic tanks.
He stressed the importance of
education in addressing the
region's environmental problems.
"If we don't correct attitudes.
the cleanup will be for naught," he
said.
Also at the luncheon. Secretary
B1ckford indicated he IS planning
a press conference at the old
Auxier dump on May 2 to "show
what has been done." He said
more than 7,000 tons of trash were
removed from what was believed
to be the large5:t illegal dump in
the state.

Elian 's long
trip home
b) Willie Elliott
Staff Writer
Having dawdled, plat·atcd <md compromised as long as she
had. Attorney General Janet Reno had no choice but to
remove Elmn Gonzalez forcibly !rom the home where he had
lived as an el\ploited lillie celebrity for the last live months.
It had become clear that there were no circumstances under
which Elian's Miami relatives would let him go. That was evident when the ramily released a video. that had all the authenticity of a hostage tape. of an obviously coached Elian
demanding to stay in the United States.
Still. we arc haunted by the 1111age of a terrified 6-year-old
boy bemg hauled out of a clo~et by a gun-wielding. helmeted,
flak-jacketed agent. Surely the mission ~ou ld have been
accomplished with a more restrained sho" of force.
The good new-; is that no one \lias hurt. Juan Mjguel
Gon.talez i-, no" reunited "ith his son. But he faces a
Kafkae,.que battle with the American legal system to assert his
right- and it 1s hio; nght - to return to Cuba with Elian. A
U.S. circuit court unnccessalil) gummed up that process by
agreeing to hear arguments on whether a 6-ycar-old - a first
grader- can ~eek political asylum without his parents' permissiOn.
There is the possihilit) that Gonzalez. who is here with
Elian's step· mother and hahy half-brother, might seek asylum.
But whether they :-.tay or go to a home where Elian has four
grandparents waiting - should be the father's call, not the
court's. They should be welcome to stay or be free to go at
will. That is. after all. one of the freedoms. that this country is
about.
After what the American legal and immigration system has
done to him. we may huvc the spectacle of a family tleeing to
Castro\ Cuba.
The Miami relatives. the family of great-uncle Lazaro
Gonzalez. were '' rong in keeping Eli an. tirst. from his grandmothers and. later, from hi' lather and exploiting the child in
the cau'e of anti·Castroism. But it "as clear that they lo\'ed
the boy and. by their light . they thought the) were acting in
his best mterests.
As for Elian, he seems to be a tough. resilient little kid. He
had to be to watch h1s mother drown. survive two days in an
inner tube and fill an unsought role as a tiny pa" n in a larger
political battle.
He should be fine. He's with his dad.

at other schools and have returned to Floyd County to
nurse their wounds.
Don't get IlK' \Hong- these ~o,tudents are just as

SUPRESSING SURGES
In today's high-tech world, our homes
are outfitted with a vast array of expensive electronic equipment. Computers,
televisions, and stereo equipment are all
sensitive to power surges (sudden sharp
changes 111 circuit voltage) that damage
trans1stors m solid·state aud1ovisual
equ1pment. Surges usually occur when
power companies sw1tch from one utility
to another, when lightn1ng strikes near a
power line or when electric motors are
turned on or off. As a resull, home
eqUipment can experience data loss,
faulty output, or total ctrcuit failure. To
protect aga1nst these possibilities,
homeowners are urged lo use surge
protectors, which are receptacles
destgned to sense high voltage surges
and absorb them before any dev1ce
plugged into them IS damaged.
Surge protectors have become a

"Many veterans are not aware of
eligibility reform passed in 1996
that led to the creation of a standard
health benefits plan available to

health care have been simplified,
and the process for enrolling veterans for health care has been streamlined."
Veterans are urged to apply for
VA health care benefits to which
they are entitled. To enroll by mail,
veterans should call the medical

The budget just passed by the Kentucky Legislature allows the winner of this election to
make a choice. The next Commonwealth's Attorney will decide whether to change the
Commonwealth's Attorney position to full-time, or to keep it a part-time job, while maintaining a private law practice.

Your Commonwealth's Attorney should be there for you every day, involved in every case.
Assistant Commonwealth's Attorneys must be used, but your elected Commonwealth's
Attorney must lead the way to assure every case is prosecuted with competence and fairness to all. I will do that.
3) I WILL NOT PLEA BARGAIN FELONY CRIMES DOWN TO
MISDEMEANORS.
If the evidence of a crime proves a felony offense, we should have a felony conviction. As an Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney, I have refu sed to do otherwise.
As your Commonwealth's Attorney, that will be the policy for my entire office. Plea
bargaining felonies down to misdemeanors should be rare, and done only when justified by the facts.
Remember, we have before us a great opportunity-a full-time Commonwealth 's
Attorney committed to do the job right. Let's not lose it by returning to the way s of
the past.

According to the Federal
Hrglm .1) Admmrstr.llion. 80 pcrl.'enl of tlw asphalt paVCilll'nt that's
removed each year during widening

ncwspnnt, 37 percl!nt for plastic
soft drink bottles, 31 percent for
glass beverage bollles and 23 perCl'nt for magaL.incs.
Relatively few people outside
the pavement industry, however,
kno\~ the extent of asphalt pavement recycling. In a recent survey
commissioned hy the National
Asphalt Pa\ cment Association
(NAPA). Amcncans ranked asphalt
pa"ement as being recycled the
least among nine matl!rials. (The
others were aluminum. glass. paper,
plastic, rubb~r. steel, wood and yard
waste).
"Asphalt p<WI!mcnl admittedly
isn't prominent on the public's
radar screen for recycling But

reclaimed asphalt p.1vcment (RAP)
art! reused. or nearly twice as much
as the combmcd total of 40 million
tons of recycled paper. glass. aluminum and plastics," said Mike
Acott, president of NAPA.
EPA
figures
show
that
Americans recycle less than half of
their discarded paper and less than
one· th1rd of their discarded aluminum and glass. Overall, only 28
percent of items in the municipal
solid waste stream were recycled in

Souroe Nallonal Aloluut Pavement Auoc:latlen
established a target recycling goal
of 35 percent of munrcipal solid
waste by the year 2005.
"For the asphalt pavement industry already to huvc an 80 percent
recycling rate is quite impressive.
The recycling of asphalt pavement
is an everyday business practice,"
Acott said.
Acott noted that using RAP has
economic benefits for taxpayers. as
well as environmental benefits.
"Using RAP results in lower costs.
We use less virgin material and, by
avoiding trips to the landfill, we usc
less diesel fuel. Considering today's
fuel prices, these savings add up
constderably for taxpayers on public road projects," Acott said.
Other findings from NAPA's
recent survey help portray the state
of recychng in America. For example, 46 percent of Americans rated
their own interest in recycling as
high or very lngh, while 33 percent
said it was average and 20 percent
said it was low or ver) low.
They gave even lower marks to
their community's interest in recycling. Only 36 percent rated their
community's interest as htgh or
very high, whrle 37 percent said it
was average and 23 percent said it
was low or very low.
Interest rn recycling was higher
in the Northeast and West than in
the rest of the country.
Most Americans take part in at
least some sort of recycling program. 1l1e survey showed that more
than three quarters (77 percent) said
they recycle at least some aluminum cans.
About two-thrrds (67 percent)
said they recycle newspapers, along
with 65 percent who said they recycle plastic bottles; 60 percent, glass
bottles; 58 percent, magazines: 55
percent, plastic bags, 54 percent, tin
cans; and 53 percent who said they
recycle white paper.
In the survey commissioned by
NAPA,
the

Brusk.tn/Goldring Research completed telephone mterviews with

from March 24 through March 26
The results are considered accurate

Going to college is an excillng and
sometimes scary step in any young
adult's lite. Parents. as well. experience a range of emotions. from pride
to protectiveness.
One of the common concems students and parenL'> c;hare is campus
safety. Although not on campus, parems can play a part in ensuring the
safety of their child and. by le.-u11ing a
few campus safety tips. students can
avoid becoming a victim.
·''t'ou hear about so much crime in
• the news. that I think there ha<; been a
general increase in sensitivity to and
awareness of clime issues on earnpus." says Radford University Dean
of Students Bonnie Hurlburt.
A comprehensive university in
southwest Virginia enrolling 8.500
students. RU has been ranked one of
the nation's "afest campuses by The
Chronicle of Higher Education.
Hurlbutt says that although parents
are not on campus. they can do several things to make sure their child is in
a safe environment.
• Talk to the prospective student
about ctime and go over basic common sense safety rules.
"We arc very open with the parents before and during our summer
orientation. We give them a Security
and Safety brochure and talk with
them about encouraging their sons
and daughters to use good sense,''
says Hurlburt.
Chief of RU Police Toby Phillips
agrees parents should discuss safety
with their child and says that they
should give instruction during the
• pre-teen and teenage years on being
cautious and not being too trusting or
taking risky chances.
• Research the crime rates at institutions the student is interested in.
Hurlburt emphasizes that, per the
Jeannie Clery Disclosure of Campus
SI;!Cutity Policy and Campus Crime
Stati~tics Act, public and private institutions of higher education that participate in any federal student aid programs are required to publicly disclose three years of campus crime statistics and basic seculity policies.
She urges parentS to research the
campus crime reports of schools in
which their child is interested. Many
universities. including ~adford, publish these statistics on their web site.
Nationwide statistics may also be
obtained through the web site of the
Chronicle of Higher Education
(chronicle.com ).
Hurlburt notes, however, that the
statistics reported are only campus
crimes and that the parent should also
Lake into account the crime rate of the
city in which the school is located
• Review university safety policies
with the student and call the university police office with any questions.
Hurlburt notes that at Radford
University orientation, parents are
briefed on university policies, as well
as what extra services the university
provides to ensure student safety,
such as 24-hour police watch. outdoor emergency telephones, a policeprovided escort service after dark and
bicycle registration.
Parents should call the school if
they have questions about what services the school may or may not provide.
Phillips says that the most common crime problems on campuses
across the nation are crimes against
property. although violent crimes do
occasionally occur. He recommends
many personal safety tips to students
so they can avoid becoming a victim.
• Don't walk alone and always be
aware of your surroundings.
• Use public. well-lighted walkways and avoid any dark and isolated
areas.
• Look ale1t and hold your keys in
your hand when you are walking to
your vehicle.
• Give your vehicle the quick
once-over before entering, including
looking in the back seat
• If you are being followed. cross
the street, change direction, keep
looking back so the person realizes
you are aware of his/her presence, go
to a well-lighted area. notice as many
physical details of the person following you as possible and report the
incident to the police.
• If you are alone in your room. an
office or a classroom keep the door
locked, always ask who is at the door
before opening, never prop open
locked exterior building doors and
when you leave the room, always
lock it even if you will only be gone a
minute.
• Be careful to whom you give
personal information.
• Always remain in control of
yourself and your surroundings at
social functions, and be aware of the
content and quantity of any beverages
or other substances you consume.
Property protection rips include:
• Keep all cash, checks. credit
cards, purses, etc., with you at all
times. Never leave them unattendeu
or unsecured.
• Keep your car locked at all times
and store valuable items in the trunk.
• Store computers. lab equipment
and audiovisual equipment in a
locked classroom or office.
• Make a record of the serial number or both personal and university
property in your room or office.

• Don't bring valuables, i.e. watch.

sure you are not put into a compromising situation that makes you more
vulnerable .,

should report it as soon as possible to
the can1pus police and seek any help

FOR CONTINUED WELL-BEING
Chiropractic care follows a simple, yet unique concept. ~~ f?cuses. on the
body's ability to heal itself. helped by a normally functtomng spwe and
healthy lifestyle. The spine is so important. because it protects the spinal
cord, which includes a network of nerves that spread to every part of the
body, including the brain. Any problem with the spine can cause problems
in other parts of the body as well.
Doctors of chiropractic look to the spinal column for misaligned vertebrae
that may interfere with the proper nerve flow. After a thorough physical
examination and x-rays, where appropriate, the chiropractor can suggest an
individualized treatment program to realign the spine and improve a
patient's health and well-being. The safe and gentle hru1ds-on chiropractic
therapy can restore proper positioning of the vertebrae and. most important,
aUow the body to heal itself.

I, Jerry Patton, am not related to Governor

never will be for any candidate who fights

As for me, I feel that a worker who works himself sick where he can barely get air into his
lungs, deserves his benefits. What do you
think, Floyd County? If you agree with me,
take a stand and vote Jerry Patton for Floyd

This week, several Floyd

phone calls into their homes.
The caller falsely claimed to
be doing a poll for an independent group. Toward the
end of the call, the caller
made false statements about
me and my record. This was

Prestonsburg at Archer Park today at
5:30 p.m. The Ladycats will host
Pikeville on Thur~day and meet
Paintsville at the Allen Park on
Friday.
Betsy Layne is perfect in conference play with a 2-0 record to lead
the conference.
Overall. the Ladycats swnd at 87. losing three games over the weekend in the Fleming-Neon touma-
liant from the mound and Mike
Cameron is having a good season. It looks to be a beuer deal
for the Mariners so far.
I predicted that Griffey would
hit 20 homers. Well. he may not
circle the bases that many times.
The Reds need a manager.
They need to get back that chemistry of last year when they
played without a lot of pressure.
What happen to D.T. C romer'?
He was playing great baseball
for the Reds. Sean Casey
comes back and it is goi ng
to take some games before
he gets back in the groove
of last year.
Back to Griffey. Not only
him, but Dante Bichette. along
with most of the other Reds members. are struggling from the
plate. Eddie Taulbensee is ha\'ing
a good season. as well as Pokey
Reese But neither can hit with
runners in scoring position.
Aaron Boone? Shop him and
see if we can find a third baseman
who can hit.
Pitching? Every now and then
Denny Neagle, Pete Harnisch.
Ron Vilione and Steve Paris will
have a decent outing, but nothing
consistent. Rob Bell. He will be
back at Double A. maybe
Louisville. before this season
ends.
1 don't care for McKeon as the
team manager or Don Gullet as a
pitching coach. However, there
are those who say he is one of the
maJors· best.
• JUNE DRAFT
The NBA June Draft is quickly approaching and the word is
that forme r UK center Jamal
Magloire looks to be a secondround pick.
The problem of being taken in
the second round, there is no
guarantee of a contract. NBA
scouts say Magloire has hurt himself by not taking part in NBAsponsored camps. Maybe so!
The big man did improve his
junior and senior seasons.
However, he will not be a lottery
pick and will spend a lot of time
op the N BA pines.

Luck is one of those terms that
many people usc to de:-crihc the

Be it good or bad. there is always
somethmg that happens that changes
the finishing order of a race and
probabl) the best way to describe it
is someone's good luck at the
expense of another dnver's bad luck.
At Martinsville just two wcd.s ago,
Skinner once again found himself
watching someone else benefit at his

Rusty Wallace was the dominating car that day in Maninsville. but
Skinner had a car that could easily
get to victory lane if something happened to Wallace in the closing
stages of the race. With Jess than a
hundred laps left in the race, it
looked as if Skinner was finally
going to be the benefactor of someone else's bad luck. When race
leader Wallace gave up track position in order to take on four tires durmg a late race pit stop, Skinner was
right there ballling for the lead. The
wm was definitely within his grasp,
but with only a handful of laps left a
bad alternator dropped him to a 19th
place fimsh.
Talladega saw Skinner on the rear
bumper of race leader Jeff Gordon
with only five laps left. He raced
Gordon hard and clean but couldn't
make the pass. Skinner could have
bumped Gordon and took the lead,
but he said. "I want to win my first
race. but I don't want to get it
because I knocked somebody out
who had raced me clean all day."
In just four years in the Winston
Cup series he has established h1m·
self as a threat to win at any track. As
long as he keeps running up front
and m position to win as a race
winds down, don't be surprised to
see Skinner finally get to give that
long-practiced victory speech.

that another in-state standout, Josh
Carrier of Bowling Green, will get
away?
A. Depends on what ''get away"
means. From UK probably, but
maybe not from Louisville if Denny
Crum can woo the kid away from
UCLA.
TI1e Cardinals may lose DeJuan
Wagner to Memplus, but Crum 's
friendship with (father) Darel
Carrier. and the availability of backcourt playing time could help the
Cardinals keep a Kentuckian at
home A prerequisite for young
Carner ts extended playing time. If
he's quick enough, strong enough to
mesh into Crum's system, Uotl.
could be a perfect fit.

was almost always LO 1dentify the
best quanerhack on the team - 11
was the backup. At least, it seemed
that way 1f you listened to the public.
•
Except for lim Couch's two seasons and Bill Ransdell's last one.
fans have always clamored for the
quarterback-in-waitmr figunng he
was the one to elevate the program.
They were right in Couch's case,
but their batting average ts not too
good othen' ise.
Judging from the CTO\\d reaction
to Jarred Lorcnzon \ first appearance in the Bluc-Whttc game last
Saturday. 1 think we· n.• heading
down that road agatn, even though
~ the player that beat fum out JUSt led
the Wildcats to a howl game and
look.-; poised to tmprove on that performance.
I appreciate the scdut·tivencss ol
Loren/On's am1 strength He made
some throws last Saturday night
that Dusty Bonnet w1ll never be
able to make But think of tht:o. situation 1n tenns 1 fa haseball pitcher.
Many guys come mto the major
leagues with great fastballs, but
they have to learn how to "pllch" to
move past the entry level status.
If Kentucky didn't have Dusty
• Bonner. then 1 think thts team
would be just line in the hands or
Lorcnzon. but his on-the-job traintng might cost the Wildcats a victory or two that could stgniticantly
impact the postseason prospects.
Coach Hal Mumme's offen::.ive sys·
tcm is based on a quarterback rec
ogni11ng the mismatches and
exploiting them. not a QB who tnes
to overpower the opposition.
In Couch, Mumme had the best
of both worlds and I think he may
• well ach~eve that level agam with
Lon:nzon- in time.
Anyone who sav. the previous
scrimmages this spring cannot deny
that Bonner outplayed Lorcnzon.
And the difference between those
outings and the Blue-Whtte game is
that the two quarterbacks were
going against the del'cnsJve starters
and n()l mostl) Sl'Cond- and tlurdstnngcr::.. Agnmst the number one
defenders. Loren ton \\as not ao.;
<.lccisi\C or as comlmt.thle m the
pocket.
Perhaps Lorenwn l<•oked sharpl'r th1s past weekcnJ because he
knt•w he \\ asn 't pia) mg w win a
starting job and thl' press me \\as
off. That's line. but n quarterback
has to deal with pressure m game
situation:; und maybe Loren7.lm
needs a little more growth in that
area It \\ould conll' under lire. but
\\hen a coach has .1 more experienced pla)er available, wh) not usc
hllll'!
Should Bonner get hurt. I certamly v.·ouldn't be surprised to see
Lorenzon grab the job lor good.
And I also won't he surprised if
l.orcnwn beats him (lUI next spring.
e\cn tho~..ogl Bonner \\ould be
going mto his scn10r season.
Mumme ts ''ocused on \\ mmng,
not 1nd 1\ tduals. and he' II put th"
best players on the f tcld
as he's
shown us already 'lltis guy has a
good track record when it cPmes to
anal) zmg quarterbacks for IllS system, so let's gi\e him the benefit of
the doubt on picking Bonner for
now.
SPRING REFLBCTIONS
With the quarterback dtscu~siun
behind us. let's take " look at the
other areas of the Kentuck) football
head1ng into the 2000 season·
RUNNING BACKS
Martcz. Johnson \\,Is much
intprowd but not enough to beat out
Artoosc Pinner. !'he former
Hopkansville standout showed stgnilicantl) more poltsh, addtng solid
pass·catdung and hlock1ng skills to
his powerful running Sl) le.
"Artoose is going to play a lot,"
Mumme said in a post-practice
intcrvie\\ last \\ eek. '''I he good
thmg about Derek (Homer) is that
he can play both spots in the backfield. It'll be a combin.uion or competition and having them both in
there at the same tunc."
Look for Hlllllet to he more or an
Anthony White-type ol hack with
Ptnnct gctlmg most ol the c.trries in
the running game. Kendrick
Shankltn will figure mto the mtx as
a spot player tn both the backfield
and as a wideout.
OFFENSIVE LINE
One change that we II sec from
the first three years\\ tlh thts st.tff is
a rot.uton of pla)ers. 0-hne coach
Guy MotTiss says he nC\\ t.a.... !;htfted hts thinking 111 helicve that the
college game is be~I sc1 vcd by
RECEiVERS
Mumme wanted to sec two or
three players move to the forefront
this spring and <.levclop a chcmtstry
'' ith till' starting qunncrhack and
I'm not ~ure he saw that goal compk·tel} attained.
Jimmy Robinson was on target
to lx· one of those "go·to'' guys until
an injury sidclint:d him. One ol the
posiuve de' clopments was the pressure Derek Ahnc) applied on
Quenttn McCord.
What about Dougie A lien':.

"We're going to make Dougic's
dcei.;ion on what is hcst for him and
'' c "on't know that unttl he's gone
through t\HI-a-da):> (m August).''
Mumme s,ud. "He Iouks good nO\\.

Thunder Ridge season opener
The tirst green flag of the season

big cla~ses of racing last Saturday
night. It was a good night for mcmg
with temperatures in lhe 60s at race
time and falling into the 50s at the end
of the rac111g.
Hrst up was qualifying in all five
classes w1th the newest addition to the
Thunder Ridge family taking to the
track first- lhc 4-cylinders. Leading
the way in qualifying was the 84 car

When Hall-of-Fame linebacker
Dick Butkus called it a day as a player. he had offers to coach but turned
them down out of hand.
"The attitude of many players
entering the league when I wac; finishing up bothered me," he said. "A

It wasn't a question asked much in

the 84. No driver information was
available.
• In the first Bomber heat the 81 of
Benny Butcher held on to win a very
competitive mce. In the second heat 46
Dennis DeBoard was victorious.
• In the Sportsman div1sion it was
23 Mike Morris taking the checkered
flag.
• In the tirst of two U.M.P.
Modified heats the 12 of Don Adams
was the leader when the checkered
flag fell to take the pole for the feature.
And the !Oc of Gary Combs claimed
lhe outside pole by winning the second
heat race.
• The tina! heat race was in the
Road Hog division with the 128 of
Ke1th Branham getting top honors to
take the pole in the feature.
The 4-Cylinder Feature rolled out
next with the 18k of D.l. and the 00 of
Patnck Morris on the front IU\\ as lhey
came to the green flag. But it didn't
take long for em 84 to make it!i way to
the ti·ont from the third-place starting
position.
1 But the No.8 of Brent Maynard did
~.omething lhat had never been seen
before at Thunder Ridge. He Hipped
his 4-cylinder for the '\Ccond time of
the evening. with the first time coming
on lhc \'Cf) first lap of the very first hot
lap se~sion of lhe evening.
But the H4 would hold on to take
the "ictory m lhe first feature race of
the night. Coming in second wa-; the
18k of D.I. 1l1ird went to Patrick
Morris. fourth went to the M6 of
Freddy D and rounding out the top
five was the 8 of Brent Maynard.
Next out was the Bomber feature
with the 81 of Benny Butcher and the
46 of Dennis DeBoard alongside. At
lhe drop of the green flag DeBoard
took the early lead. But behind
DeBoard the caution flew early as lhe
2x of Tandy Spurlock ran into trouble
and \\as sent to the tail of the 15-car
field for the restart.
When the green flag came back
ouL Spurlock was on the move, showing why he is defending Bomber
champion by picking his spots and
being patient until the end of the race.
But Spurlock ran out of time at the end
of the race and was only able to work
his wa) up to lhrrd and was closing in
on second. But up front. the 46 of
Dennis DeBoard kept the lead
throughout with the 44 of Danny
Lowe in second and the 2x of Tandy
Spurlock in third. Fourth was Randy
Fannin and rounding out the top five
wa~ the 35 of Daryl Sexton.
Next out was the Sportsman feature and the 23 of Mike Morris and
defending Super Bomber Champion
19 of Jamie Slone on the front row.
At the drop of the green tlag Morris
jumped out to the early lead and the 15
of Brcllldon Mason took ~econd. dropping Slone to third. Morris was as
smooth as the racing surface they were
running on and was never really challenged throughout the entire race.

Morris was the 15 of Brandon Mason.
In third was the 19 of Jamie Slone and
in tou1'th was the 43k of Kevin Hall.
Rounding out the top five was the 00
of Jeremy Li\ ingood.
Next was the U.M.P. Modified feature with the 12 of Don Adams and the
I Oc of Gar) Combs leading the 20-car
field to the green. As 1s usual!) the
case in this division. things were wild
and wooly from the start
A<:. Don Adams took the early lead
with Combs and the rest of the field in
close pursu1t, 11 didn "t take long for the
cautions to start tlying. But when the
green flag was out. the racing was
close and exciting with close racing all
from the front on back.
Ison wa.' able to work by Combs in
the early going and stayed parked on
the back of Adams' bumper all race
and took a look under Adams a few
times. But Adams was able to hold ofl·
the runs of I son. A.nd at the checkered
flag Adams was able to hold off lson
for the win with lson in second. Third
wac; lhe 35 but no information was
a>ailable. Fourth \\as the JOe of Gary
Combs and rounding out the top five
was the 911 of Kurt Hofscss. who
worked his way up from the tail of the
field to record lhis rop live finish.
The last mce of the evening was the
Road Hog feature wilh lhe 128 of
Keith Branham and the R7 of Ryan
Risner on the front row.
Branham jumped out to the early
lead and the 94 of Paul Wooton came
from his fourth starting position to second by the end of the first lap. But
Branham was very consistant each lap
and held on to win the feature with the
94 of Paul Wooton in second. Third
was the 926 of Joey Stanley, fourth
was the R7 of Ryan Risner and fifth
was the 12 of Thomas Blackman.
The track was in great shape all
night long. One driver who usually
doesn't race at Thunder Ridge told
Brad the track wa-; in good shape and
said he would come back to race at
Thunder Ridge soon. From watching
the racing action, the track looked
slick but drivers call that a drivers
track and a lot of drivers like it that
way.

Next week, more of the same from
this week with five big classes of racing on tap. including a special for the

to win as well as regular racing in all

block the defendants from acting to violate USA's agreement
with WWF. to \Oid any agreement among WWF. C'BS and

McDowell man picks banjo cross-country
b) Pam Shingler
Lifestyles Editor
A. banjo- and his e.xcl!ptional skill at pia) ing it• has taken Troy Howell from the head of Frasure's
Creek to allover the United States.
Howell'., music led him to California several times
for benefit appearance~ with the cast of "The Beverly
Hillbillies,'' "Petticoat Junction" and ''Bonanza."
He and his band. The Big Sandy Boys, ha\e played
in gambling casinos in "Jl'\'ada. have opened for his
musical idol. Ralph Stanley, and ha\'e performed
extensively from Florida to Pennsylvania to Michigan
and most of the eac;tern half of the country.
He refers to the time spent in the cac;inos as "scary
days - gelling up in front of all those drunks, some
who· d just lost all their money''
Howell and The Big Sandy Boys Lraveled mostly on
~ weekends and racked up hundreds of thousands of
miles. taking their local name and their Stanley-style
bluegrass everywhere they could get a stage.
The original band was fonned 35 year~ ago. Howell
says, and included Emil Carroll on guitar, Roy
Spurlock on fiddle. Ray Spurlock on bass, and Carlos
Jackson on mandolin. "We all played together for 16 or
I 7 years." says Howell. the banjo picker.
These da) s, the core of the band is Howell. his son.
Jack, on guitar and lead vocals. and Cleveland Brown..
on bass. They are joined occasionally by other players.
Hov. ell says.
''I can't hit the road like I used to." says the 66-yearold retired miner, who uses a motor home for most of
• his traveling now.
He has abo switched from bluegra!-.~ to "mostly
gospel." whtch he attribute' to agtng. "As I got older. I
got to wanting to do more go~pel." he !>ays.
However, he still follow~ Ralph Stanley. "He's
about the only true bluegra~' (player) left in the business."
Howell learned 10 pia) the banjo v. hen he ''a~ a
young teen-ager and \\US helped along b) Billy
Edwards of the lonesome Ptnc Fiddler....
When he was a child, he heard hh mother, the late
Marigold Osborne Howell, pick a banjo cla\\-hammcr
style. as well a play the fiddle. "She quit becau!-.e she
was afraid she would be turned out of the church." he
says, noting that her church did not apprO\e of music.
Howell became a coal miner when he was 17 and
still a student at McDowell High School. following in
the footsteps of hts father. the late Bee 1-lowcll. who
mined for 46 years.
When he was laid off or a mine where he worked
shut down, Troy Howell would take off to other parts
of the country to do con~truction work or whatever
jobs he could pick up. all the time kecpmg up his music
and every time coming back to the home place on
Frasure's Creek, which he refers to a~ ''the ritt.) section
of McDowell."
After a heart attack made him retire from the mine~
in 1985. Howell bought a house in Elgin. South
Carolina. thinking the climate would imprO\e his
health.
However, the call of home remains strong. and he
finds he "stays here more than dO\\ n there.'' When he

The explanation
My daughter who lives in f-lorida has a job she enjoys
with a real estate company in Tampa. The company owns
seventl properties that include apartment complexes.
Sometimes the managers or these units come up with
problems they need some help with, and these calls usually wind up on Nancy's desk.
She and I ex~.;hangc e-mail message~ almost every
day. Sometimes we might just send a line or two. and at
other times we have more to tell. But a few weeks ago
she sent a message that said. "I'm a bit weary this
evening as I had a ditticult day. The manager of one of
the apartment complexes needed help in dealing with a
crazy woman and it wore us both out."
'
When I replied, I asked, "Whatever would a woman
do to cause you to describe her as cru;(y?"
Kaney didn't reply until the next everung, but she
said, "I knew you would question that description. The
woman had been doing some strange things and the man-
ager gave her
an
eviction
notice. There is
a mini-lake in
front of the complex and the
woman waded out
in the water with
her arms over her
head saying she
was the Statue of
Liberty."
"Okay,"
replied, "I guess
that explains it."

Words are strange little fellers.
Even though we'd have a terrible time communicating without
them. ) ou · ve got to wonder about
them sometimes. I mean, how did
v.e ever come up with some of the
things we call certain things?
Sure!). I'm not the only one who
ever thinks about stuff like that. At
one time or another. everybody
must have wondered about why
they call it a "hamburger.'' It doesn't make a lick of sense since it
has no ham in it.
Even some of those little every
day. ordinary words we take for
granted bother me sometimes.
Like the words "toothbrush,'' for
instance. "Tooth" is singular. So,
why isn't it called a "tcethbrush?"
We brush them all, don't we?
Unless. of course, we just drop
'em into a glass and soak 'em.
Did you ever wonder why we
drink coffee from a teacup and tea
from a v.ater glass? Or. why folks
who loaf on a "sofa" (why isn't it
called a "lofa'') an: called "couch"
potatoes?
It ~urc makes me wonder.
Then. there are those ordinary
things that have names that many
of us dido 't even reahze had
names. like the little plastic tip of
a '>hoelace. for instance. That's
called an "aglet." Did you know
that the hole in a pencil sharpener
where we put the pencil is called a
"chuck?" Or that the slit made
with a knife or a saw is called a
"kerf?''
To me, some things we call
things just don't make sense.
Skunks. do though, but did you
~nov. that the v. ord "scent" comes
from the Latin word "sentire"
which means "to feel?" Now,
that\ kind of strange in it.,elf.
especially v. hen one realizes that
we "scent" v. lth our nose and
"feel" with our fingers . Personally.
I'm kinda glad that's the way it is.
Can you imagine someone saying. "Stick your nose to that radiator and sec if it's hot?''
r d prefer to usc my finger. if
you don't mind
The word "finger'1" It's based
on a Greek word for "ftve." That's
kind of reasonable since we have
five on each hand. However, since
we also have five toes on each
foot, wonder why we don't call
our toes "lingers'' too'?
Then we could say. "I can't
understand why my fingers are
cold. I've got on three pairs of
socks.'' And. liny Tim could have
"tip-lingered through the tulips."
A tulip is a f!O\\Cr So is a rose.
Sin.:e "rose" is the past tense for
"rise," doesn't it make sense, then,
that yesterday\ roses should be
referred to as "nses'1"
"What used to be planted here.
,\tom'?"
"Why. last summer. we had
'rises' planted. my son."
And ~ince, as Hemingway says,
"the sun also rises." why aren't
roses called sunflowers?
It .JUSt doesn't add up.
Some snakes do, though. Some
snakes arc adders. Then again, so
arc nwthcm.uictans. And speaking
of such. did you know that the
highest numbct recognized in
math is called a ··centillion?" This
is a one. lollm\ed by 600 zeros.
"Zero" is taken from a French
\\ ord meaning the absence of magnituue or quantit) .
Sorneho\\ it seems appropriate
for me to end this particular column on that particular note.

Floyd County has the newest and n1ost n1odern school facilities available anywhere
in the Commonwealth. This wasn't always the case.
Beginning in the tnid-80's. state money in unprecedented amounts was made available to Floyd County for upgrading the school facilities for our children.
Today, new schools stand out across Floyd County. Betsy Layne High School and
Eletnentary School, renovated Prestonsburg High School, the new South Floyd High
and Middle School of Left Beaver Creek, Duff Elen1entary on Right Beaver. May
Valley near Martin. the Allen Elen1entary School. and the Adams Middle School in
Prestonsburg attest to the major building program we have undertaken for the
children of Floyd County.
We are not finished. We need to secure the funds for the new elementary schools on
Left Beaver and a new school on Mud Creek, and all of us are working on this. We
have also tnade a major investment in the football fields at Betsy Layne, South Floyd,
Allen Central. and Prestonsburg. Our children deserve the be~t. and we are working
every day to see to it that they have the best facilities available to children anywhere .
•
"I was bon1 and reared in Floyd County, on Left Beaver Creek. I taught school at Prestonsburg and Wheelwtight High School. Most of
my fatnily live in Floyd County. I know of the itnportance of having up-to-date, modern school facilities. and I have worked hard in the
Legislature to help secure these funds for our children. Working with local officials. the Floyd County School Board and Administration
and Rep. Greg. Stumbo, we have secured the state assistance to give our children the very best school facilities ... states Senator Bailey.
.. I will continue to work hard to guarantee that the needs, dreams and aspirations of Floyd County's children are supported by Kentucky
state government.'' Working hard for us. That's why it's i1npo11ant to keep Benny Ray Bailey in the State Senate.

• Estabhsh a code \\ord that only
parent and children kno\\. If a
trnnger or acquaintance come!\
around and sa)'· "Your mom is ~ick
and she a.;kcd me to pick you up.''
the child can say ..What's the code
\Hmi? · He'll kno" ifs not true if
the) don't kncm the \\Ord.
• When coming home from
chool, don't stop to check the mail.
Go ~traight in~ide the house.
Someone who is watching can usc
the briel intcr.·al when the child is
pausing and paying attention to the
mai I to make a move.
• Don't walk the dog. Besides the
fact that it takes the child awa) from
the hou ...e. perpetrators sometimes
use the dog to get close to a child.
Don•t a sumc the dog will en c as
protection.
• Don't lea'e bikes or tO)' in the
front yard. The) are a signal that
children Ji,e there.
• Have a first. aid kit handy and
make sure the child under~tands ho\\
to usc it.
•Estabh'h guidelines about ha\ing fncnds O\ er. It ma) not be a
good idea to allow friends O\Cr when
)OU'r(' not home, says n . .chler. But
if you're considering it. make sure
you kill)\\ how they pia) together. A
ch1ld who would never consider
doing Mllllething dangerous alone
may try it \\hen with a friend.
• :\1akc ure children know •
''hat's oft linuts. :vtay they go into
the back yard'' Into <1 neighbor's
yard'!"
• E!>.tahJi..,h guidelines fur sibling
conllkts. rhc number one reported
prohlcm of dtild1 en at home alone is
thai of sibling conflict. ""Y" Tischler.
It's a mistake to advi'e children to
put contlich on hold until the parent
come' home. "The conflict will only
e..,calate," she says.
Be re!>.pectful of your older children. Don't overburden them ,.,jth
rcsponsihilit) or create a situation in •
which they may become bo") and
create resentment in younger sibling,. It may be \\ 1sc to hire a sitter
for )Olinger children but allo"' the
older child to be on herO\\ n.
• E'tabh~h guidelines for Internet
u..e. Tischler's guideline is VCI} simple: "I don'tthmk children should be
allo\\ ed to u.,e the Internet when parents arc not at home. I wouldn't
ill\ite a stranger into my home when
I'm not there. and that\ just what
you· re doing \\hen you allow the
lntemct in."
»-,
II you think the temptation will
be too stwng for your child to resist.
"You can take the cord to \\Ork with
)Ou," 'he says.
If )OU tcclthat's too ..,tnct. or you
think) our child is mature enough to
usc the t·omputer alone, )OU can contact your ser.er about in ... talling fil.
ters for objectionable .,ite), or about
tracking what site" arc accessed.
• Ha'e n chcd: li'\1 of thing' children are suppo~e.d to do \\hile you're
gone. "Children need structure:·
say ... Tischler, "so provide some for
their un,upen iscd time. You might •
want to set up a reward system for
accomplishing tasks on the list.''
• Make unscheduled check-ins.
Occasionally call or go home when
the child i..,n 't expecting it. Just tell
her you wanted ro make sure everything was going okay. You don't
have to make her feel threatened. but
.,he'll know you're concerned and
that you arc keeping tab, on her.
Children left alone are three times
more likcl) to be m al·cidcm.... to be
delinquent or to be 'ictuniz.ed than •
children \\ ho are upcr. i ed, sa) s
Ttschler. ~o care and caut1on are in

once again, this time as three Michigan teenagers allegedly
attempted to rob his grave to take his head.
Aoyd County Deputy Herman Morris arrested Marcus

closer to entering recei,·ership.

All of us work hard to raise a family, accumulate some material goods and look

•
During our retirement, one of the best and most enjoyable aspects of our social life
is our senior citizen centers. The commaradarie and friendship of our friends, the
social gatherings, Bingo, card games and just socializing with our neighbors makes
life a little more enjoyable.
Floyd County is very fortunate. We have five (5) senior citizen centers that offer a
wide range of services to our seniors. including daily meals at the centers and
"meals on wheels'' to our sick and frail elderly. There ·s a reason for this.
..
First, the dedicated staff at the centers work diligently to provide a clean and safe
atmosphere for our seniors. Secondly, our State Senator, Benny Ray Bailey, has
secured monies for our senior citizen centers to 1nake them unequaled in the
Commonwealth. Last year alone, more than $I million was appropriated by the
legislature for improvements to our senior citizen centers. In the early 1990's,
Senator Bailey secured state funds for the construction. renovation and purchase of
the senior citizen centers at Wayland, Mud Creek, McDowelL and Betsy Layne. If you haven't visited these centers lately, you owe
it to yourself to visit and see the very best facilities and programs available to seniors, anywhere.
"Our parents and grandparents worked very hard to build the greatest nation on eatth. They need and deserve the services and
facilities we are able to provide to them." stated Senator Bailey. "We must provide needed services to our seniors and our frail elderly,
and I work hard to assist them." The results are evident. Senator Benny Ray Bailey-working hard for us. That's why it's important
that we re-elect Senator Bailey.

Radford Univcrstty physical and
health education professor Jerry

qucsuons are important in factonng
whether you arc a pos~ible 'ictim:
"Arc you \Uinerabk'?'" and "Arc

A good example of becoming
vulnerable ts going out to a bar and
getting drunk Being intoxicated
means losing control and making
yourself more vulnerable to an
attack.
However, you may still be safe if
you buddy up with a friend-you'll
be less accesstble. On the other
hand. a seven foot-tall hod) builder
walking alone is accessible. but
because of hts size he jc; unhkch to

Another important tip is to communtcate when confronted b) a

..Stop!" or •·No 1" This gets attention
and ts a clear message to the
assailant.
Weapons should be a last resort,
says Beasley. "F1rst we want to

• Rock in a Sock: You can swing
the sock, and upon 1mpact the rock
will cause p:~in.
• Knife: Only uo;c a knilc if you

with a knile you wtll probably be
placed in Jail ftrst and asked questions later. Also. u~ing a knife
reqUires a lot of practice; otherwise
it may be taken away by the
assailant and used against hun.
• Gun: A weapon uf this magnitude should only be used tn extreme
circumstances. If you shoot a per·

your innocence from there.
Furthermore. you must have regular pracuce with a gun for tl to be
useful. Beasley does not recommend using a gun unless you are

You can decrease your potential

not being vulnerable or accessible.
If you do take risks, make sure you

announced.
Under th~: new plan. managed
care organizations will be able to
provide health coverage to
Medicaid reciptents. who will
have more choices than before.
There will be no further development of the Medicatd managed
care partnerships in the state. The
Cabinet for Health Services IS
working wtth the federal Health
Care Financing AdministratiOn to
continue the two existing regional
partnerships based in Louisville
and Lexmgton.
Helton told lawmakers on
December 15 that he had conducted an extensive review of the partnership program, v.hich began in
1997 with a goal of ha' mg etght

"'We remain committed to man·

said.
Under the federal Balanced
Budget Act of 1997, states can use
managed care plans for Medicaid
recipients as long as they allow for
a choice of providers. This act was
approved after Kentucky launched
the partnership effort. Certatn populations would be excluded from
managed care such as chtldrcn

can b~ carried out by changtng the
state Med1caiu plan.
The changes mean that health

System (KenPAC).
··This strateg) gi\es us the llcxtbilit} to work \\ 1th whatever the

Helton said the cabmet 1~sued
Requests for Information on

that the cabinet will make sure that
local heallh departments are given
an opportuntty to provtde certain
services within the managed care
organtzations.
Medicaid recipients will not see

Rule by law
Saturday's pre-dawn raid by armed federal agents to
seize Elian Gonzalez is already being cited by right-wing
extremists to bolster their paranoid \ iew that the U.S.
government employs brutal. police-state tactics to trample the rights of innocent citizens.
Unfortunately, Louisville's Rep Anne Northup. who
usually chooses her words carefully, and Kentucky Sen.
Jim Bunning. who often docs not. aided that ignoble
argument by chiming in that the federal operation
reminded them of Nazi tact1cs.
That is utter nonsense. The Miami raid led to no
injuries. gunfire or arrests. It was over in about three minutes. Its purpose was to reunite a 6-year-old boy with his
father, whose titness to raise his son has not been seriously challenged. Preparations had been made to offer
immediate comfort and reassurance to Eliin.
Furthem1ore, the Justice Department, which had a
warrant, was acting legally under American law and in
accordance with international norms on child custody.
Attorney General Janet Reno. who clearly had hoped to
avoid using force. ordered the raid only after months of
defiant refusal by Elian's Miami relatives to obe)' lawful
directives to surrender custody of the boy.
None of these factors were hallmarks of "Gestapotype actions," the Northup-Bunning claims notwithstanding.
Two points are especially important. One is that the
raid ends the Miami standoff, in which the exploitation of
Eli~n by some Miami Cubans was rapidly escalating and
which posed a growing threat of community violence.
The other is that whatever one thinks of the decision to
use force, the blame lies with Elian's Miami relarives and
supporters. Inflamed by Cuban political passions. these
groups apparently felt free to follow the! rule of law only
when convenient.
That ~aid, Ms. Reno's decision to use force was a risky
gamble. Law-enforcement raids. like military operations.
do not go precisely according to plan. In Saturda)' 's case!.
the unpleasant surprise for the federal agents was a photographer in the house, and not a gunman. But the danger
of a bloody shootout was inherent in the situation.
In the weeks ahead, Ms Reno will be pressed to elaborate on why she felt courting that peril was preferable to
ratcheting up the legal pressure on Elian's relatives to
surrender the boy. That is appropriate - part of the vital
process of holding public officials accountable for their
decisions.
Is is also, as Kentucky'!> congressional delegation
should note, a democratic safeguard that was not visited
upon the Gestapo.

Still seeking answers
Editor:
Mr. Randell Reno's front page story. "E-911 nearly complete. judge says," in the April 16 Floyd
County Times, was not complete, even if the county
judge says the E-911 system is. Very conspicuous by
tts absence was the number of telephone lines (subscribers) in Floyd County who paid the tax in the
pa~t and who will pay the 99-ccnt tax in the future.
Johnson. Knott, Pike and Letcher counties reported
the number of subscribers in their counties who pay
the tax, but not Floyd County!
L1sting the number of subscribers would of
course indtcate how much money was collected in
the past and how much will be collected in the
future.
I tried to obtain this number for Floyd Count)
over a two-to-three year period. Each time, I was
told I had to get a court order. I also tried to obtain
the number of subscribers and/or the total amount of
taxes collected by the Harold Telephone Company
and BeiiSouth (Louisville). Each company refu!.ed
and told me 1 had to get a coun order. Both companiel> quoted an agreement with Floyd County officials not to release the number of subscribers or their
own company figures of the taxes they collected and
sent to the fiscal court.
You can imagine my chances of obtaining a court
order in Floyd County
then or now. And espe
cially a court order to obtain records pertaining to
the E-911 bank account. It was a kind of classical
Catch-22 situation.
Why can't we learn of the true number of subscnbers 01 telephone lines covered by Floyd
County''> E-911 system? Why can't the telephone
companies tdl us exactly how much tax money their
ret:ord.., show that they collected and returned to
floyd County's fiscal court? Is there some connection here to the national defense or national security
that I don't understand? No. folks. beyond a doubt
there was some security involved here. but it sure
wasn•t national security. It was the security of some
homcgro\\ n good-ol' -boys.
It the E··911 system is "nearly complete" and they
want to start collecting the tax again, let them do it
the nght way this time. The fiscal court did not
legally pass the E-911 resolution unttl April 1995.
and they backdated it (made it retroactive) in an
attempt tn CO\ er the penod from 1990 to 1995 when
the telephone tax ,.,.as collected illegally. This was
probably illegal anywhere else in the state or nation.
but \\as perfectly legal here in Floyd County.
Indeed, there seems to be a symbiotic relationship
between our fiscal court and the individuals and
courts respon~iblc for our state laws and our constitution. But that is another story for another day.
Do 1t right this time. Pass the resolution legally
th1s time, tell us how man) telephone lines will be
taxed. and put the money in a designated account.

Volunteers help make
Special Olympics special
Editor:
In today's fast-paced society, time h so precious.
Finding time for ourselves is hard enough, but when
someone takes lime out of their life for someone
else, that person should truly be recogni.ted for their
generosity and precious g1ft.
April is Volunteer Recognition Month. a time in
which the thousands of volunteers who help Special
Olympics Kentucky's athletes m the1r commun1ttes
should be recognized and applauded. Volunteers arc
the backbone of the Special Olympics movement.
Without the generosity of time and commitment
from volunteer coaches. committee members.
fundraisers and the many others who give of themselves for the mission of Special Olympics. athletes
with mental retardation would not have the opportunities that are given to them today
Volunteers of Special Olympic~ Kentuck) inspire
greatness m the athletes they serve. They inspire
these athletes to do their personal best and they help
each athlete strive to make the1r dreams come true.
But volunteering for Special Olympics Kentucky
also inspires greatness in everyone it touches.
Whether it's one hour, one day, one week or one
year, Special Olymptcs offers \Oiuntcer opportunities that truly celebrate the human spirit.
We believe a Special Olympics Kentucky volunteer described it best when they said. '·You give an
inch of love and devotion to the athletes and they
give you a mile back."
Special Olympics has made remarkable stndes,
growing in many ways. Today. over 1.2 million ath-
letes in over 160 countries around the world benefit
from Special Olymp1cs. That number continues to
grow, which means we will need more support from
volunteers to maintain quality athletic training and
competition for our athletes.
To the thousands of volunteer~. who have
changed the lives of our athlete~. we salute you for
)OUr time, effort and dedication to the movement of
Special Olympics. You truly haw inspired greatness
111 us all.
We encourage everyone to celebrate the volunteer
efforts of individuals in their community. It's their
precious gift of time and devotion that changes the
lives ol those they help.

Political
dissident
He was unwanted by his \iblings but
the man lived his life working constantly for his father. Ever busy in his labor.
he never married nor did he take time to
entertain the thought of the graceful
company of a woman.
His watching eye looked out for his
family and never strayed. At middle age
he must have seemed so much older,
bearing the trials of being the eldest.
His stepfather was already a man of
age when he was born and had died in
his youth. When his siblings had grown,
they left home. leaving him. the firstborn. with his mother's care.
Should he have been born tod.ty he
may have been paid millions as a performer and could have been a telcv1sion
star. And he would have qualified for
government assistance as a troubled
youth.
He had moved so often as a child his
friends and playmates were consistently
temporary. And after he was grown his
very own brothers and sister spread
rumors through the commun1ty that he
was insane.
Rumors that he was a bastard fol lowed him everywhere. Inasmuch. he
never used his surname.
Despite his seemingly disparaging
situation he carried on his work.
Though considered an outcast, the
strong and sinewy man built the family
business unttl now it dominates the
world. Like most who love their work,
he gave h1s heart to every effort.
His disposition left him with few
fnends and maybe just one he was really close to. But he was a man of faith.
Financial woes didn't get to him and
despite his family's rejection he plodded on. Like many first born of olden
days. he shouldered the responsibility
of being the family pioneer and leader.
His mother cared deepl)' for him but
could not show favoritism. Silently she
watched hi~ tragedies and triumphs.
Like any good mother she stood beside
him She wanted the world to know
how good he truly was but her small
town would have nothing to do with it.
Everyone knew the rumors had to be
true about him and a crazy bastard son
was certainly not worth the neighbor
hood praise. although he was a scholarly student. the cit) 's finest and always
turned a kind hand to e\eryone.
As he grew older the rumors grew
worse. He began to visit the known
"scum'' in the area. He would hang out
with the "::.Juts" and had been seen more
than once with prostitutes. And surely if
you are with them you must be paying
for the service.
To make the situation worse. he
became vel) close to one and shared a
friendship with her. It seemed to all he
was justifying what she did.
Residents found him O\er and O\er
in the company of the city's \Vorst cnm.
inals. H1s country had been taken by
war and the occupational forces cared
little for the people. But he was often
found in the soldiers' company. Surely,
he had established favors to keep him
from harm's way with them.
And then he began to lead others
astray. breaking the trust and traditions
of his countrymen. Even if the ruling
party had treated their cities with harshness in the past, they had ltved together
in relative peace.

A fear began to gro\\. What if he

the old cit) leaders grew itchy.
fhe) feared the chaef officer but
grew more afraid the youth and
nation as a whole would grow to
love the man.
He was not agreeable with the
traditional ways of the country and
would usher in changes if he succeeded. More than that, he could
cost lives of the many if the throng
of supporters he had gained continued to grO\\ .
All the "hile he worked tirelessly, gaining an indisputable totlowing that undeniably threatened
the status quo. As tensions mounted and his accusers began to plot
his demise. he stayed unerring on
the task. This perturbed the local
authorities so much they decided
to contract out a killer.
Under the ruse of political dissidence they had him arrested and in
their jubilance he suffered mightily. He was brought to the city leaders who beat him senseless, not
knowing what he had actually
done. They only kne" il he continued to stir the waters, the nation
would suffer further.
He was taken to the occupational forces presented as a dissident
Considering him far les~ than a
national threat, he was sent to the
provincial authorities for a hearing.
Being the same mind as the city
government, the provincial gover-
nor attempted to beat a confession
out of him. Through the swollen
eyes and his battered body. he
bowed his head speechless and
mourned the framing of his life.
He was bruised beyond recognition, and the city officials appealed
the occupauonal leader's decision
and returned him to the court begging for justice.
Despite their public outcries for
his punishment, the JUdge found
nothing beyond circumstantial evidence to prove he had done anything wrong.
Under pressure by his president
and in dire need of keeping the
occupied territory in peace, the
provincial leadership bent to the
ever increasing throng of natives.
Through a prisoner exchange, the
judge released a known dissident
for one who must have been much
worse.
Remanded to the custody of the
military police, the poor man suffered through yet another battering
and was then marched out for all to
see.
A bloodthirsty crowd screamed
for his public execution. So, the
soldiers forced him to parade
through the city for all to see.
Onward they pushed him until they
reached a place for his execution.
It was a place where all could see.
Desperately following him was
a confused and bewildered mother
who was dying inside to help her
son. She was pennitted to come to
the front of the crowd. to sec the
execution up close. And there she
stayed, within eyesight of her son.
There she watched htm as the\
brutally murdered him for a rea-.on
she never knew. And then the officer:. made fun of her firstborn
child. Oh, the pain and dc~pair she
must ha\C felt.
She probably stayed there in
agony until her famil) dragged her
awa), staring at her son's blood
\taining the ground. pouring from
his lifeless body, fearful of touching it or burying it because the
army may turn on her.
Thl' man had -.uffcred through
life right up until the day he died
defamed of character and stripped

But his story did not end there.
This dissident became a national

A couple of wcel..s ago, I had an
accident that nearly severed a part
of my finger. My wife took me to
the emergency room at the
Pikeville Methodist Hospital.
Although I would much rather visit
the hospital under different circumstances, the personnel there
made my stay as pleasant as possible. Barry Bradley, chief of security, checked to see how bad 1 was
injured. He sensed that my wife
and I were both a b1t shaky and he
walked with us to the appropriate
registration desk and introduced us
to the nurse in charge. He left us in
good hands and assured us that our
car would be taken care of.
After a short wait. I was taken

student. who would be assisting
him. Dr. Hamm assured me that
Dr. McCoun was very knowledgeable and that I was in good hands.
l asked the student doctor if he
were a medical student at Pikeville
College and he remarked, 'Sure, I
am a student from the first class." I
knew that meant he started hts
training when the school opened in
1997.
While lying on the cot to wait
for results from the x-ray department, I listened as Dr. Hamm and
student doctor Todd McCoun discussed my case. As a former
teacher. I could tell Dr. Hamm was
an excellent teacher. He never said
what they were going to do bttt
always asked the student doctor.
"What do you think should be
done?'' Todd always gave the correct response: he immediately
knew what was needed. This indicated to me that the PCSOM faculty are really preparing their stu dents for life as doctors.
Occasionally, Dr. Hamm would
add something but I could tell that
Dr. McCoun knew what he was
doing. When my x-ray was
vaewed. it showed no broken
bones. I was ready to be sutured.
Todd did the actual procedure
because Dr. Hamm had another
emergency arrive at that time. The
senior doctor consistently checked
on my progress and seemed well
pleased with the student doctor's
handling of the situation.

Good News for Prestonsburg
Many people h esitate to visit a church unless they
know "hat it will b e like when tbey go. P er h a ps we
can help you k now what to expect when you visit us.
When You Yisit Us
P~:!rhap~
you have said. "I intend to visit you sometime."
But you have put it off simply because of the dread of going into a
strange place, not knowing what to expect when you visit us.
You will be our respected guest. You will be greeted with
kindness and courtesy. You will not be called upon or embarrassed
in any way. Our assembly is a simple and devout period of worship
patterned after the worship of the early New Testament church.
There will be nothing to make you feel out of place. Perhaps you
will hear scriptures read and truths preached that you have not heard
before. but we are compelled by the commands of Christ to preach
all of the Gospel. We preach this go!>pel in 1ovc... trusting that everyone present will evaluate it in light of his or her personal life and
responsibility. We believe you will be impressed by a presentation of
God's plan and s1mple Bible teaching.
About Our Worship
Our worship is simple and based entirely on what IS taught
in the New Testament. We will sing together. You will probably be
familiar w1th most of the hymns and are invited to join with us in
the singing. Men in the congregatiOn will lead prayers. There will be
a sennon, Christ-centered and designed to teach and uplift all who
are present. you are urged to take notes and check what you hear
against what your Bible says. There is never and attempt to teach
anything profound or mysterious, just simple Bible truths. At the
close of the sermon. those who wish to become Christians are invited to make this known by coming to the front of the assembly. No
one will go about the audience urging people to come forward.
Neither the worship nor the invitation are designated to embarrass.
but rather to teach.
During the Sunday worship, the Lord's Supper (Communion)
will be served by men of the congregation. The Ne\\ Testament teaches that Christians (members of the Lord's church) are to do this on
the first day to the week (Acts 20:7). A contribution wiiJ be taken.
because the church is commanded to do thh on tile first day of the
week ( l Corinthians 16:2). As our guest, you are not asked or
expected to give. Do not feel embarrassed to pass the container to
your neighbor or the men serving.

Sometimes we're blind to the causes of our woes
I've ne\er met Kathleen Parker
and likely never will. Sttll. I think
of her a)> a huddy.
Parker writes a s) ndtcated
newspaper column that originate~
from Florida. She's one of the lew
pundits I read regular!) , because
she'<. one of the fe\\ anymore who
c;eem to poo,ses.; a lick of common
sense.
To me, man) of America's current opinion leader' -politicians,
social sc1enti"t", celebritie~. educator., and journaJi,ts- collecthel)
ha\e lost their ever-lo\ ing minds.
Then I' II pick up a ne\\ paper
and there's Parker and, oh. m)
faith in humanity I ' restored It's
so gratif) ing to find someone \\ ho
has a brain and isn' t ...cnred to u'c
it.
For example, one of Parker's
columns begins like th1s:
"B) today's 7ero-tolcrancc !>tandards of child'o; play. Ill) brother
and 1 o;hould have been sent to the
electric chair years ago. In fact,
every child in our neighborhood
and at school .,.. ould qualify at lca•..t
as a juvenile delinquent, potential!) as a homictdal maniac.
··we played war; \\e dug trenches and fo:\holes: \\C screamed and
cried. raided and rioted, bombed
each other "ith rotten grapefruit.
torpedoed .,.. ith ornngc'>, fakekilled and fake-died. tell from
tree~. cra,hed btke., and .,.. tpcd out
on gravell) roads.
"We pillaged and plundered
until the sun set and a dozen
fathers whistled time for supper
··we didn't die from these activities, nor d1d we kill anyone cbe.
..
Parker then contrasts her childhood play w1th the phght of four
kinderganncrs uta New Jersey elementary ~chool, who 1cccntly were
suspended for pointing tingl·rs nnd
shoutmg "bang'' at pia) mates in a
schoolyard game ol cops and robber:..
''The lunatic., don't haH~ to tal\e
over the a ) lum anymore,'' Parker
writes, ''because apparent I) l'\ cryone else ha~ lost thetr minds."
Of course, there is a ditlcrcnce
bet\\een her chtlt.lhm1d ~.1mcs in
the 1950!.. and thl" tra' otis of
today':. kid:-., Parker ackno.,..Jedg.es:
Toda) a fc\\ '\:hildrcn bnng real
guns to school: children kill and
wound other children in what used
to be a <;afc environment."
Jw that, lhe majority :uc stifled
hy p<tranoid administrator' and
c~oen parents.
But it's not pia) ing cops and
robbers that has led to real-life
massacre . Parker argue!>. It's not
C\Cn the availability of guns: man)
Baby Boomers 'itCh as she gre\\ up
in home' -.tocked '" ith ... mall arsemlls.
''What's differ~nt," she continue!>. "ts that our parents and teacher., worked together '' ithout undue
intcrfe1encc from bureaucrat~.
social \\ orker... and Ia\\ yers. A kid
"ho misbehaved in !>Chool '' ns
dealt \\ 1th promptly. first b) the
tc.tchcr and then b) the dads who
.,.. histlcd at dinner time. A bad kid
w:tsn't bad for long."
You go. girl.
Understand. Ill) readers. that
I'm not a gun nut. J don't hunt. I
don't belong to the NRA.
Yet l. like Parker. am dumbfuunded by the common a~sump·
tion that kid' are blo,~oing each
other nw:t) because the) play
nggre.,.,i, ely or because real gun'
are ea'il) U\ ailable.
Rloocy. When I was gro\\ tng up
in small-town Kentucky most kids,
boy particularly. pla~ed co.,..boys
and Indian~ dail}. And mo..t gU)S
had '' ithm ca") reach enough real
guns to hold off the Russian army.
Yet we never murdered anybody.
Why'?
For one thing ...choolteachers
back then could (and would)
smack a knot on your head if you•
carried a ftrearm to school.
A more imponant reason was
that nearly every boy lived under
the !>arne roof as his dad. And those
fathers kept an C) e on their kids·
business.
I kne\\ a rowdy fellov; who did·
n't blink an e)e at an approaching
cop, but would burst into tears if
the ofhcer ~aid. "I' II ju~t call your
dud"
There's something special about
bo) s and their dads - that is.
when the dads assume an active
role in their 'ons' lhes.
Sons by nature behold thei ~
father.., with an indescribable combmauon ol love, awe and fear No
one else has such control over a
boy's bch<l\ ior.
Today. a~ Parker aptly condudes. "we've emasculated teachers and C\ icted fathers. . Our confusion mighl he lessened tf we put
real discipline back in the schools
and father-. back in the homes.
Onl) then might we relax and let
the good boys pia).''
God bleso; ) ou. Ms. Parker.

If the South Floyd Raiders baseball team
keeps o.;howing improvement each game out,
then they could be a factor in next month's 58th
District tournament.
Coach Barry Ball's ballclub posted a 10-3
win over a good Sheldon Clark team this past
Wednesday night for its third consecutive win.
''We sec improvement in our team," said the
South Floyd mentor. "but we still have a ways to
go."
Nick Moore wac; outstanding on the mound in
picking up the win to even his personal record at
l-1. Battery mate Byron Hall provided the power
at the plate with four of the 13 hits South Floyd
collected. Hall had a single and three doubles in
the contest and finished with four runs balled in.
But there were others. Shortstop Joe Skeans
and third baseman Kyle Tackett picked up three
hits each Moore had two safeties himself.
Moore fanned eight batters in going the full
seven innings. He walked just four bauers while
scattering seven Sheldon Clark hits.
Howell took the loss for Sheldon Clark,
working six innings and allo\\ ing I 0 runs on 13
hits. He struck out seven Raider batters.

But last \\eek. as I was standing in line at a
local. eating establishment, T di covered just
how mgrmned the program has become in our
CH:ryday live when l overheard two women
discussing the previou. mght's show as they
started to pia e their order.
''What will you have?" the server asked
one of the ladies.
"Oh I think rll have a salad and a soft
drink." . he quickly replied. .. o. make that a

she asked her companion.
"Maybe a cheeseburger. maybe a chicken
andwich:· the companion answered.
"You've just used your 50150," the server
stated. "You still have two life lines left."
.Bead ol perspiration began to trickle
down the woman' brow. l had never seen
such an agonized look on a person's face as
they ordered fa t fo d.

"Oh, I'm about 85 percent sure.'' I stated.
"l'rn about80 percent OK with that order,"
her companion answered.
Frorn back in the rear of the lme a man
yelled, ''I'm I00 percent. ure! Just order and
get this line moving."
The woman started wringing her hands
and shaking her head "I just don't know what
to do!"
"Well, you've got one more lili: line lefl,
lady. Who do you want to call?"
"Oh. how much difference is there in the
prices?" the woman mumbled.
"They range from three lwtnty-nine to

I' stilJ dipping into that list
ol c· questions that Rita
Scot ~enL me laf>t week.
She ked whether there
was 1y way to predict 1 cat 's temperan ent based on
its b1 ed, color, coat
lengl or markings.
Actu lly rhese things
can 'lie some bearing
on rl personality, although there
will lways be great indi\·idual
varw ons.
T' most predictable personality t rls are probably associated
with reed Trouble is. ex~:cpt for
Sian ,e and Persians, we don'r
see
ot of purebred <.:ats in rhi:-.
are:t
1 re arc some. though: in
fact onnie Faulkner of Van Lear
is c ently ~howing her Grand
Pre1
r Somali nearly every
wee! nd. He regularly wins Best
in Sl w. and is in wntention for
first ucc in points in the southcaste 1 region of the U.S.
In 1ddition. she and her husband ohn also have an American
Shor rur and a Burmese. 1 also
knov. he whereabouts of a Maine
Coor Cat and a couple of
Hima ayans.
Cats are basically divided into
two extreme
body types.
T
h
e
•·cohhy··
type, wh1ch
compact
and
heavy
boned is seen
in breeds such
ar; Persians and
Himalayan~. The
"Oriental'' type 1s
just the opposite-fine bone
structure and long
tubular bodicf.. Think of the
show-type Siamese.
In hctween the two extremes
are the cats with moderate body
typc-Abyssu1ians.
Korats,
Birmans. and many of the common "alley cat~:· or mort properly. Dumt!stic Shorthairs.
Although this is a very generalized statement, the cobhybudicd breeds te111.l to he
somewhat more sedate and
laid-back, while the Oriental
t~pcs arc more likely to be the
"live wires." Unle~s you are
buying a purebred kitten. this
isn't much help. Often the
parentage of a litter of kittens
is unknown, and it can be hard
to JUdge potential body type of a
young kjuen.
In most cases, the body type of
the mother is one of those middle-
of-the road k111ds anyway. If you
arc interested in purebred. talking
to several breeders or contacting
a breed doh will give you much
more specific answers.
Color by itself is not much of
an indicator of a eat's personality,
except that a couple of the colors
are sex-linked and that may play a
role. I think I may save a discussion of cat ~olor for a separate
article.
For right now, I' II just provide
you with the tidbit of trivia that
almost
all
Calico
and
Tortoiseshell cats are female. and
that red cats are somewhat more
likel} to be male.
It's probably more useful to
know lhe mother eat's back-
very used to peo·
pic and very gentle, and the kittens
have
been exposed
to handling
since
they
were
very
young,
the
kittens
are
much more
likely to be gentle themselves. Kitlens who
were horn mnre or
less wild. or f~ral.
are unlikely to ever
become comfortable
with people: they
have a very narrow
window of time
to become used
to humans, and
once that window
closes, they really can't
be gentled.
Of course, I know one cat who
totally refuses this statement. Our
friend Shawn. who seems to be
some sort uf Svengali for cats.
rescued a kitten who was so wild
he named her Lucifer (spellet.l
Lucy-fur).
She is now a fat. content house
.;at whose wildest escapades these
days are stealing Shawn's po~ses
sions like his keys and pocketk.nrfc. and burying them in her
litter box. Lucy-fur the terrorist is
now just plain Lucy the kleptomaniac.
If you can't make it through
the wild-and-crat.y stage all kittens seem to experience, most
will eventually calm down and
stop dangling from the curtains.
And don't forget, s;ats can be
rramed. They require a lot of
patience, but the basic game plan
is similar to puppies. Interrupt
whatever they are doing that
you don't like, offer an
acceptable alternative. and reward
them for this.
Example: Tiger
i:{ attacking your
feet as you watch television. You distract
him-w1th a noise like a
loud handclap, or a
spritz of water from a
spray bottle.
You then immediately
give him a toy that he can atta~k.
(Be fnir: thi:s needs to be something interesting-no killen will
choose a stuffed mouse that just
lies there over a pair of hve. moving ft.!et).
When he turns his ~nergy on
the toy. praise him or even offer u
small bite of something he really
likes. Obviously, you have to be
prepared wath cat treats. spr·1y
bottll' or anything else you need.
I suppo:-e the bottom line is
that you have to look at kittens.
hkc babies. as a sort of surprise
package. You can make some
educated guesses about their
adult temperaments. and you can
shape their personalities to som~·
extent, through training and guidance.
In the end, though. you just
have to appreciate them for the
individuals they are.

that take advantage of changing technology,"
says Anne DeCicco, president of the
Luggage & Leather Goods Manufacturers of
America (LLGMA), the trade association
representing the luggage industry.
Anne Fleming. marketing director for
Atlantic Luggage, the second largest manufacturer of luggage in the world, suggests
consumers ask these questions when buying
luggage.
1. How much do you want to spend?
2. }¥hat luggage has the most features for
the money you want to spend?
3. How often do you travel?
4. Will you be checking the luggage or
carrying it on the airplane?
5. How long has the company been making luggage. and what is its reputation?
"'Whatever the price range, answers to
these questions will he.lp consumers buy lug
gage that serves their travel needs and
reflect:. their personal fashion sense," says
Fleming.

While Ford has endeavored to make the
Excursion car-like, its ride is still
extremely jouncey and archaic.
Handling can't realistically be expected

roads and going at slow speeds, the
Excursion bounces much more than

CRITIC'S CORNER
CKA DW rTE
Filmmaker James Tobak believes that hip-hop is the engine driving our country to a racially level playing field. Tobak also bc)jeves
tlmt the hip-hop culture, combined with interracial relationships,
will pave the road that'll get us there.
His lilm "Black and White·· is a collage of loosely stmng togetheJ~ mostly improvised vignettes that supposedly illustrdtC his philosophy.
But, I think, tl1e ftJm ultimately disproves his premise that the
more blacks <md whites date. the more the ban1ers of race will be
tom down. Instead, if the movie's ending is any indication, what
will happen is that blacks will ultimately congregate with other
blacks, whites with whites. and gays with gays.
This is not lO say that "Black and White" is a bad movie.
On the conlmry. '"Black Md White" is a sometimes chilling. always
brutally honest portrait of a major aspect of race relations in
America.
The cast is comprised of seasoned actors like Robert
Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller thrown togetJ1cr with Bijou Phillips,
mcmbe~ of the Wu-Tang Clan, N.Y Knicks star Allan Houston,
rapper Method Man. supennodel Claudia Schiffer, and boxer-felon
Mike Tyson, who dominates every sc.:ene he's in and gives a ~ur
prisingly good perf01mance.

byDNASmith
The kids give her plenty oflame responses, but the answer
·'Black and White·• g~ves us is this: Upper-middle-class white people are dissatisfied with their safe, bland exjstence. so they gravitate
towards the ghetto for a taste of danger. In other words, "for kicJ..;s."
Not out uf respect for the people in the ghcuo or their plight. but for
what the whites can take from the blacks.
None of the white characters seems to acknowledge the
hum<mity of his bla~:k associates. Claudia Schiffer'.; character- a
cold, manipulative grad student of culrural anthropology- sees the
ghetto not as a real-life hellhole that real people arc dying to escape,
but as a life-sized Skinner Box; and !'he regards her black boyfriend
Allan Houston as just another laboratory animal she can intellectually and emotionally dissecL
The black characters know they're being used hy the
white characters. but they don't care. because they are using the
wltites for their own purposes. ln fact, everyone in this film is driven by hi-; or her own self-interest. not the altruistic or noble cause
of 1mproving race relations. as Tobak would like us to believe.
There js nothjng in the mm that suggests tllat these people
- and by extension we as a country - arc getting any closer to
realizing Dr. King's dream of a colorlcs!t society.
But then. perhaps ''Black and White" isn't a primer on
how we can make things better. but how we wiU make things worse
if we don '1 stop looking our for Number One and start caring about
each other.

two of the three years she was on
the dance team and her senior year
gave up cheering to concentrate
solely on the dance. She said the

Dreams!
How i~; that Noah Webster puts
it for us: "a fanciful vision of the
consctous mincl" or how about,
''the state... in which a daydream
occurs.··
For former UK O;mce C'al and
Preston<>burg Dance Cat. cheerleading and dancing have always
been a big part of Donna Williams'
life and it continues to be so even
today.
Williams was recently chosen
to be part of the 2000 TeMessee
Titans cheerleading squad, fulfilling yet another "dream·• that has to
be the highlight of her career.
"I'm so excited. I guess when I
am 80 years old, 1 still won't be
over the excitement of it all.'' said
Williams.
Williams was one of 35 cheerleaders chosen for the upcoming
NFL season. But she was just one
of the 350 who had the same
dream - being an NFL cheerleader.
Why the Titans?
"They played in the Super Bowl
championship," said a laughing
Williams. "No, it was convenient
for me. and closer to home. It is
only a three-hour drive from
Richmond."
Williams was a member of the
first Prestonsburg Dance Cat
I danced harder
then than I had in
my entire life.
Everything was
riding on that
moment;

Donna Williams
"When Jody (Shepherd) first
started the dance team. that was
just it for me." said Williams. "l
said, this is what I want to do. This
is what I have to do."
Donna, and her sister. Dennn~.
had always dreamed of cheering
for the University of Kentucky
cheering squad. But when dancing
entered the picture. the UK Dance
Cats entered also.
"When I went to UK l tried out
for the Wildcat Dancers and made
the squad," said Williams. "We
were a team that competed against
other dance teams. •·

"She told me that maybe they

explained Williams. "l wasn't too
excited about it."
Following the advice of her
friend. Williams receiVed a lener
from UK that she had made the
Wildcat Dancers.
"I just went around my house

Williams then decided that
school was not for her and she
dropped out.
"l just decided I dido 't want to
go to school anymore," said an
honest Williams. "1 just felt like l
needed a break.''
A needed break from the books

A Prestonsburg man was in court Friday to
answer 21 charges levied against him last Thursday,
April 20. after he allegedly attempted to flee F1oyd
County Deputy Herman Morris and Martin Police
Officer Dennis Hutchinson.
In Friday's preliminary hearing, Morris said be
noticed a pickup truck, allegedly driven by Wade
M. Price, exiting the Martin BP station westbound
onto KY 80. That vehicle pulled to the traffic light
across from the Mountain Christian Academy and
stopped for a green I ight.
Suspicious, Morris drove up behind the vehicle
when it suddenly "peeled out" and took off. Morris
said he immediately activated his lights in an
attempt LO pull the vehicle. Price, 19, sped off trying
to elude the officer, Morris testified. After activating
his siren, Morris called for assistance from
Hutchinson.
The two officers pursued Price to the intersection
of KY 80 and KY 550 where Price attempted to
turn. said Morris. Traveling at 84 miles an hour,
Price locked the truck up, causing it to slide into a
guardrail
As the two police ofttcers tried to pin the vehicle
in, Rice allegedly pulled his truck into reverse hitLing the front of the deputy's cmiser, and then into
drive. ramming Hutchinson's vehicle.
Morris said the suspect continued to try to push
the cruiser out of the way. As Rice attempted to flee

Couple unearths mystery
during PRIDE cleanup
by WILLIE ELLIOTT
STAFF WAITER
/
Alan and Beth Speidlitz, from Goebel
Branch in the Cow Creek community. were
doing what many Floyd Countians had been
doing - taking part in PRIDE Cleanup when they discovered something that has
stirred a desire to find out more.
While county workers were cleaning out
the creek near the Speidlitzes' home. Alan
spotted a stone that looked somewhat different than other stones. It turned out to be
a tombstone from a long time ago - the
1800s if the stone is an accurate birth/death
record.
The discovery has piqued their curiosity.
The name on the stone reads Thomas.
Franci(s) and lists a 1774 birth and what
appears to be an 1856 death. Since the stone
was in the creek, Spcidliv sunnises that the
stone has been subjected to water eros1on.
Speidhtz remembered the man who sold
h1m the house used to sell tombsmnes.
..Could it be that sorneonc (and who?)
brought the stone to be restored'?" he asked.
Alan has also considered the possibility
of a gravesite n~:ar his home.
Speidlitz, in his title search, has
researched the property back from the 1890
to present. He said the first records indicate
the property was first owned b)' a railroad
company (he didn't know which one) and a
coal company.
The Spcidlitzes. who moved here from
Topkea, Kan .. are in the process or renovatphoto by Willie Elliott

The 'cmJtinals were held on

find out if thc1r dream would continue.
'"We didn't find out until

Williams. 'Then you had to call a
hotline or look it up on the internet.
" I tried the internet and it wasn't
posted there yet. I called my sister

From 350 to 109. now the number~ had shrunk to just 76. A total of

peting again and that meant only 19
out of the 76 would be part of the
new squad.
"That also was torture," she said.
"We had to attend two clinics for
two weeks and we learned two routines. The second week we teamed
two more.''
The clinics covered a variety of
items such as how the tryouts are
set up, how they would be run, how
a contestant's hair should look. how
makeup should be.
"The last practice they told us
that every girl was gong to get two
tickets for somebody to come and
watch," said Williams. "That meant
250 people would be watching the
finals. There were 17 judges, a live
TV camera, photographers, news
camera people and the coaches,"
To add to the suspense, Miss
Nashville would question each contestant as they approached the podium.
"That was one thing I was really
nervous about." said Williams. "1
knew I could get through the dance
routines but I was terrified over the
interview questions. It was a little
rough, but I made it through."
After the interview session, each
contestant stood on the floor to be
observed and then it was time to
perfonn - adding still more suspense.
"You didn't know what dance
they were gong to call," said
Williams. "They taught us four routines and we dido 't know what
dance we would do. When you perform at a game, there are 15 routines you are going to know. Your
team captain may call dance five.
You have to be ready to do that
one."
As it turned out. ac{;ording to
Williams, the number called was
one she was comfortable with.
"I danced harder then than I had
in my entire life," she said.
"Everything was riding on that
moment."
Each contestant was then to have
a single pass before the judges with
whatever they wanted to do.
Williams chose gymnastics. With
the final competition over. still
there was no relaxing.
"After I got off the floor. I was so
nervous," she said. I thought, 'Did I
answer my questions good enough?

and H utchinson renewed the pursuit another six miles before Price
left the road and attempted to

Morris. With the back tire unable
to grab traction, the truck slid back
into Morris' vehicle.
The deputy had exited the vehicle with a shotgun and was going

Morris said there was a short scuffle between him and Price, before

I was too short, but there were others just as short as I was."
With the past moments racing
through her rrund, Williams had to
play the waiting game and doubt set
in.
" I was so nervous, I did not think
I was going to make it," she said. •
For three hours all had to wait
that special moment. All the contestants were then called to the floor
for the final announcement.
"By this time I had convinced
myself that I didn't make it," said •
Williams.
Doubting her performance,
Williams stood to the back of the
group hoping that disappointment •
would not show.
"I tried to hide from the TV camera,'' she said. "AJI I could think
about was, if you don' t make it,
don't cry."
Then came the moment. "In no
particular order, this is your
Tennessee Titans 2000 cheerleading
squad," was the beginning.
Numbers were read off, and the first
ten, Williams was not mentioned.
"By this time I was so upset, I
was fighting off the tears," said
Williams. "I was upset with
myself."
Number II, 12 and then number
13, Williams' number, was called.
"I was so completely shocked," I
she said. "I just started bawling.
Everything was a blur. I remember
going up and hugging one of the
girls that 1 got to know, who also
made it. She said, 'Go get your shirt
and rose!' I remember taking my
rose and shirt and I was just crying.
I couldn't believe it."
Williams said the moment was
bigger than life for her.
"I thought dancing at UK was
huge, but this is something else,"
she said.
The 2000 squad of Titan cheerleaders will be busy through the•
summer and it begins on June 1
when they head to Florida for a
beach battle against the Los
Angeles Rams cheerleaders.
"We will be playing volleyball

It's time to win
this battle
News this week that Floyd County will receive a $1.5 million
grant to clean Left Beaver Creek came as a pleasant but doubleedged surprise.
The grant itself is welcome relief to one of our community's
more prominent waterways. But an even greater shock. perhaps,
is the amount of money it will take to accomplish the task.
To spend half again over a million dollars is amazing, particularly since the money is used to pay to clean up a mess made
by many of our neighbors.
We certain I} do not wish to look a gift horse in the mouth. but
the ne"" s is enough to make us pause a moment to consider
exactly what we are getting for our money.
After all, the mone) is bemg used to correct an all-too-preventable problem - litter and illegal dumping. And while it is
true that Eastern Kentucky simply must clean up these environmental nightmares, it is equally true that we must take steps to
end the hydra syndrome of dumping which sees one dump
cleaned up. only to have seven more spring up in its place.
lf we examine the issue of illegal dumping. it is evident that
there are three needs to address.
1\vo of those needs are are being met adequately. even commendably. We solve the problem of past dumping by cleaning up
the illegal dumps along hillsides and crcekbanks. And we tackle the problem of future dumping head on ...,;th the education
programs which are teaching our young not to mess their own
nests.
So with the past and future being addressed, all that is left is
the present. And though we are making some headway in that
department, it i.<; tbe one area which dc.'\erves more of our attention.
Every now and then, we hear of a high-profile dumping case
being prosecuted. And every now and then, we see in the pages
of our own paper an advertisement from some poor bloke who
has been ordered by a judge to publicly admit his shame and
apologize for iL
But the mountains of trash continue to pile up along our roadsides. so we have to assume that we must try harder in that arena.
There is perhaps no sadder commentary of how far we yet
have to go than to revisit the site of a dump cleanup. onJy to find
that the dumpers have returned. By making an even greater
effort to punish and expose the dumpers among us, perhaps we
can make more progress.
We assign no panicular blame in saying this, though we will
accept part of the responsibility ourselves. We have done a good
job of publicizing the cleanups and the educational efforts taking place. Now it is time to redouble our efforts on an unpleasant but necessary task -to reveal the dumpers among us.
'That'' only a small step, but it is one we can take that, if
joined by similar small steps from others. can hopefully make a
difference.
Our law enforcement officers can step up their efforts to
catch illegal dumpers. Our court system can continue to deliver
swift and certain justice to those caught in the acL And every
person can do more to think before dropping trash on the
ground, be it a pop bottle or an overstutl'ed Hefty bag.
In short. every one of us can do just a little more. We 'II make
more of an effort on this end. How about you?

A lighter look at the
Vietnam experience
by Willie Elliott
Staff Writer
Have you noticed how much media coverage the
Vietnam War is getting 25 years after we pulled out
and told the South Vietnamese to "root hog or die?"
That was the year of the pig, you know.
You know why we have so many articles at this
time. don't you? The time frame- 25 years. which
is somehow more significant than. say. 24 or 26
years. Hopefully when 50 years have passed. they
• wtll let us rest. This is quite likely to be the case
since the great majority of us will be dead. Egads.
One article said that the war left a large portion of
its veterans psychologically scarred. I try to use that
line on Linda when I do something that makes her
doubt my cerebral capacity (translation. she thinks
I'm not too smart). She simply says, "Willie, you
were scarred before you went to Nam." But that is
not so - slightly warped, but not scarred.
Spending a full year with all those "lifers,'' a term
we civilians-at-heart used to describe career sol·
diers. did take its toll on me. Today we would sa)
that is a political!) incorrect term since they d1dn't
like the term. Duh'? Why do you think we calkd
them that" They called us names we didn't like
either - soldiers.
Can you imagine spending a year with people
whose idea of upscale jewelry was gold dog tags and
thought "Stars and Stripes rorcver'' was the song ol
choice of everyone?
Others view our presence in Vietnam as an unethical killing ground. where massacres such as th~
killing of chilians at My Lai were common. 'vt) La1,
Your Lm, or His Lai - I wao; in country at the time.
but I was not in My Lai. I was in a bar in Saigon

From the something which gets on
my nerves department ..
Driving across town the other day, I
met a funeral procession. As I've been
taught to do. I stopped my car until it
passed by.
The cars behind me didn't have any
choice but to do the same. But the cars in
front of me came to what has been
described as a ''rolling stop," taking off
before even the hearse had gone by.
Since when did our lives become so
hectic that we cannot afford to pause for
a tiny tribute to a neighbor who has fallen among us? How did our li\'es become
so busy that we cannot take 60 ~ecoods
out of them to honor someone's parent/child/sibling/grandparent/friend'?
Tacky. So very, very tacky.

And what do you know · most of the
Republicans on Capitol Hill spent the
past week blasting Attorney General
Janet Reno and the rest of the Clinton
administration for the tactics they
employed in obtaining Elian Gonzalez
from his Miami relatives so that he could
be reunited with his father.
[Pause while placing tongue firmly in
check.]
That tigures. Those conservative
Republicans, always siding with the lawbreakers instead of the victims. They're
so caught up in their dreams of peace
and love and wann fuzzies to realize that
Jaw enforcement is generally not pretty.
espectally when you're at the wrong end
of the enforcement action.
Who elected these GOP congressmen. anyway? Probably a bunch of hippies in a commune somewhere, smoking

New developments in the onhnc privacy debate
arc threatening to push federal and state bureaucrats'
desire for control to a critical, regulating-mass. But
not only are new Internet privacy regulations unnecessary, they may well prove harmful to the consumer'\
they seek to protect.
Recent calls for online data regulation born out of
FTC investigations. lawsuits. special advisory commissions and new legislation. ignore the truth about
consumer privacy. Proponents of new regulation-;
insist that only the government can keep consumers'
privacy safe from menacing marketers. h's not :;o.
The truth is, technology is already putting lntemct
users in control of their information. What's more.
data collection benefits consumers by increasing their
chances of actually being interested in the advertise·
ments the) receive.
So ho"" do companies collect information from
their online customers? For the most part. websites
simply ask visitors to lill out a fom1 or they send a
tiny file known as a "cookie" to the visitors· haal
drive. The cookie keeps track of what sites the user
visits and what advertisement banners catch his or her
attention. Thi" infomlatton can be kept by the business for in hou..,e use. sold for use in a larger marketing list or l ross-referenced with other consumer inforllt.Jtion.
l'hesc lists reduce the cham:es of renters getting
lawn t'aJe solicitations. dog-owners receiving catJ'nod t•nupons and Jennifer Lopez seeing advertisement hanners for turtlenecks online. It's win-win.
Companie~ don't waste their resources sending ads to
disinterested consumers and consumers are more likely to be interested in the ads the) see.
• ot con' inced'?
No problem. This trade-off of convenience for privacy i' bound to make some consumers queasy. so it's
important to point out that ir1dividuals are in control
of what information they share online.
The:- most obvioul> wa} consumer control their personal mformatton i-. by being selective about what
wehsitcs thcv \'isit and their priniC) policies. Just as
discerning c~nsumers may choose not to deal with

Dear Mr. Turner:
It is my pleasure to notify you that the United Mine Workers of America's Kentucky Coal
Miners' Political Action Committee (COMP AC) has endorsed your candidacy for Commonwealth
Attorney in the 3 1st District.
COtvlP AC bases its endorsements upon well-defined and closely scrutinized criteria, past
records and level of candidate support for issues of concern and importance to Kenrucky coal
miners, the statewide labor movement and all working people and our families. As a result ofour
careful consideration of all candidates and issues in this race, we are proud to extend to you our
endorsement.
You may be confident that the UMW A members throughout the state are committed to an
aggressive, decisive member education, information and get-out-the-vote progra..., tOW:.lrt] nur
shared goal of victory on tvfay 23. With best wishes for a successful campaign, I am
Sincerely,
SE/sr
Steve Earle
Kentucky COMP AC Coordinator
For the five years I've practiced law, I've worked hard to build my own practice around helping injured and disabled people. I have represented coal miners and laborers of every kind,
including their widows and children. I am determined to be a Commonwealth's Attorney everyone can trust.
My roots go deep into coal mining families in McDowell, Ligon, and Wheelwright. My earliest memories of childhood focus around my great grandfathers, Joe "Hoss" Thrner at
McDowell, and Dewey Osborne at Wheelwright. Both were recipients of black lung disability
benefits, as are three of my living great uncles and two that have passed on. Also, I will never
forget how my grandfather, Arnold Thrner, Sr., of McDowell, instilled in me a deep respect for
every man who dug coal for a living.
Regardless of what my opponent may say, my friendship to coal miners and working men and
women is a fact, proven by the strong support of the United Mine Workers of America. This
endorsement speaks for itself and you should read it closely. The UM\VA considered both my
opponent and myself, and now urges coal miners and working people every where to support
me in this race. I invite every fair-minded voter to join with us as we work together to make
Floyd County a better, more decent place.

Patton orders study to find
if racial profiling exists
"Stopping or searching tndividuals on the bnsrs of
race IS not an effective Ia\\ enforcement tool nor Is tt a
defensible strategy for publtc protection,·· Governor
Patton said as he signed an Executive Order recently to
determine if racial profiling is a problem in state hl\\
enforcement.
"While an attempt to address this issue tn the
General Assembl)' was unsuccc:;sful, we believe thb is
an important policy issue that needs to be addreo;sed.
It's my opinion that state government should collect
information and statistics regarding law enforcement
activities at the state level to ensure the fairness of our
law enforcement practices and ensure the protection of
the civrl rights of our people," the governor addet.l.
The order calls on all state·levcl law enforcement
agencies and officials to begin collecting data on activities related to citations, drug related stops. and
requests for consent to searches and warrant less
searches. Over the next three months, the information
will be analyzed by the Secretary of the Justice
Cabmet and the Kentucky Law Enforcemem Council
to better define rac1al profiling and assrst them m
designing and implementmg a model policy to prohibit ractal profiling.
Once the state has a model pohcy 111 place, the order
urges all local law enforcement agencies and shenff s
t.lepartments in Kentucky to ellher adopt the state's
pohc.:) or come up with one of their own.
Governor Patton said. "I believe that trackrng the
race, ethnicity, and gender of those who are stopped
and searched by law enforcement oflic1als will help us
determme whether problems related to racial profiling
exist. and can ~1ct as a gutde m the development of
soluuons."

Here is a great motto. Something
to live by. "Depart from evil and dn
good: seck peace and pur:-.ue 1t''
(Psalm 34: 14). When confronted
with evil, we want to lash hack and
get even. We want to avenge injus
!ICC and set the record straight.
A vengeful spirit is the opposite
of one that seeks peace. "Never pay
back evtl for evil to anyone"
(Romans 12:17). Remember this
and avoid a lot of violence ant.!
heanache. God \Viii balance the
scales of JUstrce. We must not take:
matters into our own hand~. "Never
take your own revenge. beloved,
but leave room for the \Hath of
God. for 1t ts \Httten, 'Vengeance 1s
Mine. I \\ill repay,' says the Lord''
(Romans 12: 19).
What can we do on the positive
s1de? Here arc u couple of suggcstions. First. he ready to overlook rhc
faults of othcrs. "Hatred sllrs up
strife but IO\ c l.'o\'ers all transgrcs-
stons" (Proverb.; I 0: I 2) So, "keep
fervent m your lo\'e for one another.
because love cover!i a multitude of
sms·· (1 Peter 4:8). Love overlooks
much.
Second, always be ready to forgive. When wc realiLe how much
God has forgiven us, hO\v can we be
unforgiving toward others? "Be
kind to one another, tender-heaned,
forgr\ mg each other. just as God rn
Christ also has forgiven you
(Ephesians 4::n). Love forgtves
Seck peace . Overlook faults
Readily forgave .

seven years he competed tn the minor

For Prestonsburg's Joe Hinchman, from
the time he picked up a baseball he knew he
had some magtc in his left arm and he rode
it to a stellar minor league career .
..I always noticed when I ptcked up a
baseball I could throw a cun e ball... he
said. "It just seem to come natural "

He was a lefthanded pitcher and complied a 24-10 record in 1953, his best during hts minor league career.

Congrats
to Williams
Donna
Williams has
become some\\ hat of a local
celebrity for most
of us. Definitely.
all of us are very
proud of her and
her accomplishments. Not many
) oung ladies get to enjoy the
kind of accomplishments that
Donna has achie,ed the past
two \\eeks.
As all knm' b) now. Donna
\\as named to the Tennessee
Titans NFL football eheerleading squad for the year 2000.
When I spoke \\ ith her about
making the team, you had to
hear her to hear the excitement
in her voice.
Putting a story in pnnt does
not rl!ally give the expression
one feels when having such an

The decision was made. he would
not return to the game after the

Webb shuts out

Bentley collects
lo1ze Ladycat /zit
by ED TAYLOR
SPORTS EDITOR
Hold the phone. What was that Dee Webb was
throwing at the Bet~y Layne Ladycats in what was supposed to be a softball game?
Webb looked to be throwing b.b. 's because the
Ladycats could not see the ball, as big as it was. All
Webb did was allow Betsy Layne no runs on just one
bit in picking up the 17-0 shutout.
It wasn't that Betsy Layne played that bad. They
only trailed 1-0 after two innings. But Pikeville played
that well.
Jill Kimberlain led the Pikeville assault from the
plate with 4-for-4 batting which included two doubles
and two singles. Amber Trimble had a single and double for the Lady Panthers.
In the third inning, Pikeville collected seven hits in
scoring 11 times and five more runs in the fourth on
seven hits.
Webb secured the win in the five-inning game.
Tackett took the loss for Betsy Layne.
"We just fell apart after the second inning." said
Mitsy Collins. an assistant coach with Betsy Layne.
Tackett
• Contlnu.d from p1
Shelby VaHey took a 2-0 lead in
the first inning over Tackett and
the Bobcats. Terry Wright had a
one out double and scored on John
Wright's RBI single. Wright then
scored the second run when Mike
Burke laced a base hit to left field.
After Betsy Layne went out in
order 111 the first inning against
Stevens. Shelby Valley left two
runners stranded in the second
frame.
Betsy Layne struck for four
runs in their half of the second as
eight players went to the plate.
Brooks started the rally with a lead
off double and scored when Adam
Tackett lined a hit up the middle.
With two out. Dustin Elkins
reached on a two base throwing
error that allowed Tackett to score
to tie the game, and Elkins advancing a.ll the way to third base. He
came in on Daniel Knausl: run
scoring single to make it a 3-2
game. Knausz scored the fourth
run of the inning on Josh Kidd's
double. Swiger had singled
between Elkins and Kidd but was
tagged out at third for the final out.
Shelby Valley went out quietly
in the third inning, putting a runner
in scoring position with two out.
With one out, Brooks drove the
ball over the left centerfield fence
for his home run. Adam Tackett
followed with a double but was
left stranded as Stevens got Bill
Kidd on a fly ball to center and
Anthony Tackett on a grounder to
short Betsy Layne led 5-2 after
three innings.
Shelby Valley made it a one run
game with two in the fourth.
Stevens started the ra.lly with a
lead off double and came home on
John Bentley's RBI single. Bentley
scored on consecutive errors at
third base for Betsy Layne to make
it a 54 game.
The Bobcats added their final
run in the fourth on a lead off single by Elkins and an error. Stevens
then retired the last nine he faced,
but the Wildcats could not generate any offense over the final three
innings against Tackett.

and walked three.
Henry Napier blasted a pitch
that cleared the center field fence
and went into the nearby creek.
Hts home run in the fourth inning
tied the game at 3.
Josh Yates had a two-hit night
for the Rebels and just missed
making a sensational play on a
drive off the bat of Ryan Shannon.
Shannon hit the ball to the deepest
part of the ball park and it had
home run written on it.
In fact, Shannon thought it was
going to clear the wall, but Yates
made the play and kept the ball in
the park, but dropped it with
Shannon stopping at first base.
Pat Martin. one of the region's
top third basemen, had two hits for
the Rebels.
Byron Hall. before being
injured, had two hits and batted in
two of the three Raider runs.
South Floyd scored first in the
openmg inning. Shannon drew a
lead-off walk from Sizemore and
came home on Hall's RBI single
for a 1-0 game.
Allen Central came back in
their half of the first and plated
two runs for a 2-1 lead. Yates
opened the inning with a single
and Josh Howell dre\\ a walk.
Skeans got Sizemore to pop to
Nick Moore at first and then
Martin lined a two-run single to
left center. scoring both Yates and
Howell.
Neither team scored in the second inning but South Floyd
pushed across a run in the top of
the second. Shannon hit a drive to
center field that was dropped for
an error. Brandon Hansford booted
a grounder to second. After a good
play by Hansford forced Mike
Hall, Byron HaJJ then roped a hit
to center. sending home Shannon
and making it a 2- I game.
Allen Central threatened in the
third on a lead-off single by Yates.
But he was caught stealing at second. With one out, Sizemore doubled and Martin walked with two
out. Skeans got Dwight McKmney
to pop to short for the third out.
In the fourth, Kyle Tackett led
off with his long home run to give
South Floyd a 3-2 lead. Kevin
McKinney singled to right but was
left stranded.
Napier tied the game at 3 with
his two-out home run. The roundtripper cleared just about everything beyond the fence.
Skeans and Byron Hall had
consecutive singles with one out
tn the fifth. but Sizemore got Nick
Moore on strikes and Tackett
grounded to second.
In the bottom of the fifth. Yates
and Howell went out on fly balls
to Shannon in center. Sizemore
walked and moved to second on
Pat Martin's second hit of the
game. McKinney then lined a soft
liner to center where Shannon
made the pickup and strong throw
to the plate. As Sizemore
approached the plate, Hall, with
ball 111 hand, blocked the plate and
Sizemore stayed upright, hitting
Hall hard. Sizemore was called out
and never did touch the base. He
was then ejected for failing to
slide.
Hayes got the Raiders in order
in the fifth, walked one batter in
the seventh only to pick him off.
It was the second conference
win for Allen Central, evening the
Rebels' record to 3-3 overall.

told me "You had better take my
picture because one day I am gomg
to be a Kentucky Dance Cat!"
Sure enough, she was a dance cat
at UK for two years. Today, she is
one of the many, many young ladies
who dream of becoming an NFL
cheerleader.
I think Donna is a picture of
someone who, when she sets her
mind to it. can accomplish a lot of
things.
Donna could have used all the
excuses of not pursuing her goal of
being at UK and even making the
Titans cheerleading team. But you
never know what happens when you
set your goals. follow your heart
and work hard at toward that goal.
Floyd Count) should be proud of
what Donna has done. The monthlong ordeal was nerve wracking,
I'm sure. At times, in her own
words, there were doubts. There
were those anxious moments. But
yet, when tt was all over, it was
Donna who was an Nl·L cheerleader
and on her way to some national
recognition.
I \\ISh Donna the best. I really
do. She is a fine young lady who has
proven. no matter of your eastern
Kentucky heritage, you can make it
outside of Floyd County and
Kentucky.
I am sure that there are those
who have mixed feeling about the
dance teams, and I suppose I have
been one of them. But they are
national champions and one of their
own has gone as far as a cheerleader
or dance member can go - the
NFL.
• REDS STARTING PITCHING
IMPROVING
The Cincinnati Reds are still
swinging anemic bats but the pitching staff, especially the starters. has
shown improvement over the past
two weeks. Denny Neagle, Steve
Paris and even Pete Harnisch,
whtch is my least favorite, put
together some strong outings the
last three starts.
Neagle won his game against the
Mets, while Paris pitched well
enough to win, but the Reds could
not get him any runs.
While the pitching staff has held
the opposition to just two runs in the
last two games, the Reds aren't
knocking any fences down with
only three runs in the last two.
Talk is of Dimitri Young being
used for trade bait to lure a front line
pitcher, but that is silly. What pitcher will they get for just Dimitri
Young. Unless they can get a consistent winner who can throw
strikes. then keep Young.
I would like to see Chris Stynes
play more. I would like to see him
replace Aaron Boone at third for
some games. He swings a better bat
and is just as good of a defender.
Dtd I ask this: Where is D.T.
Cromer? Bring him back!

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon for Kids Day in the Park this

WEATHERING
THE STORMS
OF SPRING
BASEBALL
The problem 'Wlth high school
baseball is its played in-~eason.
which while technically correct is
obviously wrong. Bac;eball r~
played in the spring. which 1deally
is perfect, but like ~o many other
great ideas. it doesnt quite work out
that way when put into practice.
This has long been a problem.
The correct time to play inter·
scholastic baseball would be the
fall, but with football dominating
the scene, it will never happen.
The first problem with playing
baseball in the spring is it c.:omes on
the heels of a long, draining basketball campaign, which of course, fol lowed closely the grind of football
season. When ir comes ume to hit
the diamond. many athletes are too
burned out to participate.
But of course, the biggest hurdle
in playing outdoors in the spring is
the weather. This is another reason
the fall Y.Ould be perfection. as
Chandler Bing might .;;ay: It', much
more pleasant to be outside in the
early evening in the fall. and it
doesnt rain nearly a~ much.
The inclement weather has
caused problems for at lea!tt two
local coaches. who arc lamenting
the wet stuff for two different reasons.
Randy Casey's Belfry Pirates are
roUing through the season with a 61 worksheet. The only problem is
were in the last \\Cck of April and
they've only played seven times.
"We need game c:-.perience, ·•
Casey said. "We try to put our guys
in game situations. but all of them
are inside. Were trying to evaluate
our guys and keep lhl'm strong.··
While Cao,e) \ club has tarted
strong. It is a }Oung team last sea-
son. five or six freshmen may have
started any given game and they
need to play.
"We felt we'd be pretty good."
the fourth-year coach said. "All we
needed "as another year to get big·
gcr and stronger...
The young Bucs were 14-11 last
cason. and finished second 10 the
60th District to Elkhorn City. They
then lost in the opening round of the
15th Region to Pike Central by a 96 final.
"Our kids got a taste of the
regional tournament last year. and
from the first day. all theyve talked
about is getting back there this year
and doing some damage." Casey
said.
Casey. whose only loss this season was an 8-7 setback to FlemingNeon in the tournament at Pike
Central, has several players who are
having fine seasons.
Derrick Pauley. a senior left
fielder who was one of the first
players to sign a football ~cholar
ship with Pikeville College. is proving to be a fine baseball prospect as
well. He's hitting over .700. with
nine hits in his last 11 at bats.
At one stretch the season. he had
hits in seven straight at bats, and
mixed in three triples to lead off the
games.
Sophomore Boo Hager is 2-0 on
the hill and hitting ju~t under 500.
Junior Curtis Childers 1~ at .500
..., ith J2 RBh on the ) oung season,
which is made even more remarkable b) the fact that hes already
been intentiOnally waJked seven
times thi~ season. First baseman
Matt Hale has 10 RBls and a batting
average more than .500.
ln fact, Caseys club is hitting a
mind-warping .444 through seven
games.
Mean'While. the foul weather is
causing problems of a different kind
for Millard skipper Ke\ in Justice.
After the Mustangs opened the
season 4-0. a loss in the bottom of
the se\ enth to Pikeville started a
five-game losing streak which has
mushroomed into se\en losses in
e1ght games.
"That game kind of had our guys
a bit down, and were working to try
to rebu1ld thc1r confidence," said*
Justice.
"We're trying to stay in positions
where the kids experience nothing
negative," he said. "Were trying to
keep them in situations to keep their
confidence up.''
The problem i~ as of Wednesday,
the Mustang~ hadn't played in a
week, .... hich is keeping the team off
the field and preventing them from
playing themselves out of the
slump.
''I guess we aren't the only ones
in this situation," Justice said. " l!jr
~eems every time we get rolling, we
ha"e a week off."
Sen1or Mark Tackett is hitting
361 with two home runs this season. and. said his coach. "is doing real
well on the mound." Nick Baldridge,
a junior, is also throwing well for the
Mustangs.
Sophomore Josh Lawson is probably ha\ ing tbe best season, hitting
.420. "He got invited to play in
florida this summer. so hes excited
about that." Justice said.
Freshman Tyler Ratliff got a win •
over Betsy Layne, and has a grand
slam.
"Were still fairly young," Ju~tice
said. "We onl~ have four seniors on
the team."
Another prohlem at Millard is the
incon-.istcncy of the feeder programs.
\\ hile the Little League bon par with
any m the area. the Senior League has
been spott), often not having enough
players to field a team.
"We have kids coming to us as 1314 year olds who haven't played
smcc Little I .eague." he said. "To
start otr with, they're going from a lit-•
tic field to a big field. You wind up
teaching them trom scratch, spending
a year just teaching them the fundamentals."
And with poor WC<~ther. they wind

NASCAR This Week's Monte Dutton gives his
opinion: "Since ·the crash began with Pruett's Ford
sliding into Robby Gordon's, it was all too easy to

LeHers From Our Readers
Dear NASCAR This Week,
During the race at Texas, it was
mentioned how close it was for Rusty
Wallace's pit crew on getting to the
race. They were held up because of
bad weather and flew in within an
h<,ur of the ~tart of the race. My questions: I. Can member.; of other crews
help out in hi.., pit if he should pit at a
d1fferent time than their·own driver?
2. Could a Busch crew till in for his
crew throughout the entire race if it
was available? 3. If these two other
options didn't work, could he pit at
his teammate's pit and have that crew
do tho work for him, as long as they
ooth didn't have to come in at the
same time?

You can even use an AM radio and tune in
and pick up telephone conversations.
Now. these "Listening Toms,'' who sit and
listen or monitor your cordless telephone don't
do ~;o by accident.
Anyway. the friend went on to say that while
she was talking on her cordless phone,
individuals were taking. out of context.
bits and pieces of her conversations
and telephoning her employer
while she was still on the
phone.
The employer called the other individual,
who was at her own home. to say both were
fired.
I remember the same problems happening- and
I am sure many of you can - with the old telephone
party lines.
So. if you think. as I have heard individuals say, your telephone is tapped, it doesn't have
a wire tap- which is illegal- but it could be monitored by a "Listening Tom" with a programmed scanner if you or the party you are talking with is u<;ing a cordless telephone.
Incidentally. some individuals have these scanners in their automobilec;. Don't think you
are exempt if you are using a cellular phone, car phone or the more updated hand-held telephones. These telephones can be heard for 20 miles or more away.
As they said in Russia. Big Brother or someone meaning to do you harm may be listening, but m this case, it may be your neighbor or anyone who wants to monitor your conversntions to blackmail you, if you are not careful of what is being said on a cordless. cellular
or hand-held telephone.
When I was a teen-ager, businesses
had a pdvate telephone line and most other!>
had a part) line. As many as five and six different families shared the same telephone line.
We didn't have a telephone, but I can remember
friends, neighbors and families having problems due
to unscrupulous individuals on the party line eavesdropping Plain, old "Listening Toms" might hear other people's not-so-private telephone conversations and repeat
half-truths or parts of conversation~.
In the privacy of your home \1. ith the shades drawn, while
undressing. you don't expect a ''Peeping Tom'' looking into your
windows or keyholes.
•
Also. in the privacy of your home. while using your cordless telephone. you don't expect a "Listening Tom" to be monitoring your telephone conversations.
Both arc invasions of privacy and individuals can be prosecuted for either act. ls there a
difference? Granted. on the pa1ty lines you knew you were taking a risk of your conversations being overheard.
Talking \\ith a friend some time back, I asked, "Why aren't you working today?"
Her reply was. "I was tired. along with my friend, because someone with a scanner listened to what I thought was a private conversation about my work of that day on my cordless telephone."
I asked, "How can anyone listen to your telephone conversations?"
The friend said, "If you are talking on a cordless telephone. 'Listening Toms' with police
or radio scanners can program them to monitor or listen to all cordless telephone conversation~; within 1.500 feet. about a quarter mile away
In other words. you may be using your telephone which is not cordless and be unaware
~ that the person you are talking with is using a cordless telephone. and the conversation can
be monitored by someone on the other end who has a neighbor with a scanner.

etting the word across:
Parents must carry anti-drug message
When it comes to spreading drug abuse warnings. Phil Palmgrcen campaigns from a national
platform. He helped develop lhe federal government's billion-dollar anti-drug advertising program.
Palmgrcen. a communications professor and
researcher at the University of Kentucky, worked
\\'ith his now-retired UK colleague, Lewis
Donohew, to develop the theories that led to dramatic national ad~ like the television spot featurmg a young girl who uses an iron skillet to show
the destruction wrought by drugs.
But Palmgrecn knows that reducing teen drug
abuse relies less on advertising techniques than
on continuing efforts by parents to help their
children resist the pressures to experiment and
use marijuana and other substances.
"What you want to get across to your kids is
that you· re on their side. This means parents

Palmgreen is supported by William Turner, an
Baptist Church of Allen. The bride-elect is the daughter of James and .
associate professor in UK's Family Studies
Gail Campbell of Prestonsburg. She Is employed by McCoy and West

wilh your children about issues they may face at
a later time.'' Turner said.
"But for these talks to have real meaning and
impact, a parent must start early in a child's life
by developing open lines of communication and
spending time with the child," Turner said.
"If you don't communicate well with your
children or you don't spend time with them, you
may not establish the foundation on which to
bujld trust and meaningful messages," he said.
Turner urged parents to consider their children's ages and tailor age-appropriate messages
on any important issues, including drug abuse.
"At the early elementary school ages, don't
try to address issues in serious terms. The child
isn't ready. Nancy Reagan's old adage, 'Just say
no,· is a simple message that works for that age
group," he said.
"At the ages of 9, 10 and 11, children are
ready for more serious discussions," he said.
Parents shouldn't be surprised if their children
raise the issues. "They'll hear something and ask
about it,'' Turner said.
At that point, parents can talk about marijuana and other drugs and how they affect people.
"You may want to emphasize that drugs affect
behavior in ways that make you act in ways you
don't want to act," be said.
Middle-school and adolescent children genera!Jy are receptive to more specific and dramatic
discussions, he said.

might benefit from DO
manipulative treatntent
May wedding planned
Mr. and Mrs. Teddy Click and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Conn, all of Martin,
announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their children,
Renee Chck and Billy Conn Jr. The wedding will take place on
Saturday, May 27, 2000, at 3:30p.m., at Pleasant Home Baptist Church
1n Prestonsburg.
Question:
Last May. over
Memorial Day Weekend. I was
"rear-ended'' in an auto accident
and received a whiplash injury. I'm
still having trouble with pain and
soreness in my neck and shoulders,
and T have frequent headaches,
which I never had before. How
long does it usually take to get over
this kind of problem?
Answer: Whiplash injuries are
due, in part. to human anatomy.
The head - a relatively heavy
objecr - is secured to the end of a
flexible support that we call the
neck. The suppleness of the neck
allows us to move it so we can easily point our head in the direction
we desire.
However. there is a "downside"
to this nexibility - the muscles
and ligaments that move and support the neck are easily injured m
situations like your auto accident.
Let's take a look at your specific ca~e. As you drove down the
highway. your neck muscles were
only under sufficient tension to
hold the head in a position to see
the road. However. when you were
struck from the rear by the other
vehicle. your car suddenly accelerated and placed your neck under
tremendous strain.
While your body - supported
by the car <;eat. seat belt. shoulder
harness. feet and arms- accelerat-
ed nearly as fast as the car. your
"heavy head" continued backward.
Your head didn't stop until it had
reached or exceeded the normal
limits of the neck's mobility and
thereby strained the supporting
muscles and ligaments.
It is injury to these structures
that is the source of your pain. This
type of injury happens less often
now that most vehicles on the road
have some form of headrest, but it
certainly doesn't eliminate the
problem, does it?
In severe whiplash, the damage
to neck muscles and supporting ligaments is quite apparent. Even
damage to the arteries that supply
blood to the brain is relatively common. People who suffer this degree
of injury - about 24 percent of
whiplash victims - are only a
mile-per-hour or two away from
having had a fatal accident.
Though
the
majority
of
whiplash injuries are milder than
this. they can still cause excruciating pain that is often incapacitating.
This severe pain typically subsides
sufficiently to allow return to normal activities in two to eight
weeks.
However, as you have discovered, the acute phase of whiplash is
often followed by a period of several months of chronic discomfort.
Neck ache and headache, as well as
"At this age, it's important to have established
a relationship that permits frank discussions.
When they come to you, don't brush them off,"
Turner said.
He noted that children in these age groups are
becoming increasingly susceptible to peer pressure. "You need to let them know you understand
the pressures they face," he said.
Turner also said parents should make sure
they explain the different levels of danger presented by drugs. "You want to distinguish that
heroin is worse than marijuana. This helps them
trust that you know what you're talking about."
It's also important to address the temptation
adolescents face to experiment, Turner said.
Parents may wish to use family experiences with
members who have faced drug-abuse problems.
They can use these experiences to explain the
consequences of drug abuse.
Both Turner and Palmgreen said parents
should present their warnings calmly.
"It's probably not effective to be overly dramatic, the way we are in our national ad campaign. Those ads have 30 seconds to make an
impact,'' Palmgreen said.
"Parents should take more of a soft approach,
especially with kids who seem to need a lot of
stimulation. A bard approach may have the opposite effect from what parents hope," he said.

soreness and muscle tightness in
the upper back between the shoulder blades are the most common
complaints.
In this chronic phase of
whiplash, X-rays, MRI and other
tests often are unable to find a
clearly identifiable abnormality
that causes pain. Insurance companies tend to assume those with this
type of whiplash complaint are
actually malingering or exploiting
the legal system in search of some
undue compensation.
My experience, however, has
been just the opposite. I find that
almost all of my patients with
chronic whiplash complaints have
signs of abnormal motion of the
muscles and bones in the neck and
back. This abnormality is subtle. It
is not like a dislocation or fracture
that is easily identifted wjth testing
equipment.
Fortunately, the most sensitive
of testing equipment - the trained
human hand - can easily find it.
Osteopathic physicians. chiropractors and physical therapistS are all
well trained in this type of palpatory diagnosis.
Unfortunately. identifying the
problem doesn't always lead to a

simple resolution of it. Physical
therapy and osteopathic manipulative treatment usually promote
healing, but this is no miracle cure.
It takes time to heal the damage
that has been done, and healed tissue is not the same as ''never
injured" tissue.
Most people are well within one
year but can. still tell in subtle ways
that their neck isn't the same as it
was before their injury.
Without examining you, I'm
unable to tell where you are along
this path of recovery. Your doctor
should be able to help you determine what to expect, particularly if
he or she has a good understanding
of the subtle changes that take
place in the musculoskeletal system with a whiplash injury.
Perhaps you would benefit from
an examination by an osteopathic
physician.

One out of five women and one
out of seven men experienced at least
one incident ot sexual assault as a
child. for some. the effects of those
childhood incidents have trailed
them for years.
Friends or family members who
learn of a child abuse survivor's
experience may be eager to help
them or to guide them toward help,
but those impulses should be tempered by respe.ct for the survivor's
wishe<;. says Ann Elliott. a psycholog) professor at Radford University.
"Don't go in with pre-conceived
notions about what lhey need," she
says. "Instead. Usten and find out
what they need or want.
··some may want to talk about it,
whik others may not. Some may prefer to talk about it with friends or
family. while others may prefer to
talk about it with a counselor."
Understanding the effects of child
sexual abuse can help both former
'ictims and their friends and families.
Just as the circumstances of sexual assault can vary greatly. there is a
highly diverse set of responses by
'ictims. says Elliott. "Some experien~.:e very high levels of stress," she
says. "while others appear to have
few if any ;,ymptoms. Many are in
the middle."
"Not everyone is severely traumatiled," agrees Isaac Van Patten. who
teaches criminal justice at Radford,
"but of those who are, the destructive
effects are ubiquitous.''
Some of the more common longterm effects of sexual assault
include:
• ditTiculty establishing trust at a
level necessary for true intimacy
• post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD)
• symptoms of anxiety and fear,
such as panic attacks
• depression
• low self esteem
• sexual dysfunction
• pattern of becoming a victim in
abusive relationships
One important factor in determining whether a child who is abused
develops such symptoms is the
strength of the child's social support
system. Are there adults who reinforce lhe child's self worth and make
him or her feel safe?
The term "social support system."
says EIUott, has a broad definition.
..It could mean a parent, another
friend or relative. a teacher, or another positive adult."
Of all the possible symptoms,
"none occur in more than 20-30 percent of victims," says Elliott, "except
PTSD, which occurs in about 50 percent."
Of course. she adds, exhibiting
these symptoms doesn't necessarily
signal a history of sexual abuse. For
example. depression can have many
causes, and PTSD can stem from a
variety of traumatic experiences.
One common misconception
about those who were sexually
abused is that they are destined to
become abusers themselves. "This is
a myth,'' says Elliott. ''Just look at the
statistics: At least 80 percent of sexual abuse victims are women, yet 8090 percent of perpetrators are men.
The best estimates suggest that only
20-30 percent of perpetrators have a
history of sexual abuse.''
Many adult survivors who struggle with the effects of abuse do not
seek help for their problems. Often
this is because of trust issues, says
Van Patten. "By definition, therapy is
an intimate, though non-sexual, relationship."
Olher obstacles to seeking help
may be victims' fear of being disbelieved or fear that they are not "worthy.'' Realizing lhat their reluctance
to seek help stems from the very
abuse that caused lheir problems
may help adultS decide to take the
first difficult step toward support.
When a survivor does decide to
seek help, finding the right kind is
important. "Help is available through
both pubHc and private sector
providers,'' says Van Patten, "and in
a variety of formats, from support
groups to intense individual psychotherapy."
The private sector, he says, offers
more choices but is also more costly.
Some health insurance plans will
cover a portion of counseling costs.
Community service agencies usually offer "young, enthusiastic clinicians with less experience, but they
are substantially less expensive,"
says Van Patten.
The search can begin with contacting a community service board or
a local women's shelter. For private
clinicians, the yellow pages, a family
doctor, or word of mouth recommendations can yield good results.
Recommendations from members of
a support group can be especially
helpful.
In choosing a therapist, Van
Patten encourages taking a consumerist approach. "Have an initial
meeting with the therapist to try them
out," he says. "Many private clinicians will agree to a reduced fee session for an introductory meeting.
Respect your own gut feeling about a
therapist.
"If you get a 'bad vibe' from the
first meeting it probably won't get
better. This is your therapy, so don't
worry about hurting anyone's feelings. Just say 'no thanks' and move
on to the next one. But don't quit trying until you find a good fit."
Elliott adds that a therapist who
specializes in or has extensive experience with sexual victimization is
often the best choice.
People need not envision a counseling experience involving a couch
and extensive Freudian psychoanalysis.
Elliott says through cognitive
behavior therapy, abuse survivors
can improve their symptoms by
learning to think about themselves in
new ways. They can also leam to see
the abuse in their past from a new
perspective.
''A person may be thinking, 'This
honible thing happened to me, so
I'm a damaged person. unworthy of
respect,' but they can learn to think,
'Okay, this horrible thing happened.
But the fact that it happened doesn't
mean I'm a bad person.'
"They can learn to take control of
their thoughts and feelings about the
abuse instead of the abuse controlling them," she says.
Learning these skills usually takes
the help of a therapist and practice on
the part of the client, but with
patience, sex'1lal abuse survivors can
overcome many of the cumulative
effects of their experience.

Duff students learn about the Civil War
by Samantha Hackworth
Mr. Stephen Bowling visited Mrs. Sheilah Ratliff's
primary classroom recently to the Civil War. One of the
things he showed us was a confederate uniform. l liked
it the best. It was tan and the pants had a hole in the
back of them.
The shirts were long so they could cover up the pants
and they wouldn't sho\\ their rear.
He also talked about hardtack. A hardtack is a cracker the) had to eat. He said most of them had bugs in
them so they put them over a fire an cooked them. Then
they ate them. The hardrack was one of my fa,·orite
things too.
He also talked about a lot of other things, but J
haven't got that much room.

Mr. Stephen Bowling visited Mrs. Sheilah Ratliff's
primary classroom recently to discuss the Civil War.
We learned that a lot of bugs got into their food.
We learned about metal items that they carried in
their backpacks. He showed us some uniforms. The
pants must have been shot with a gun too much. They
had holes in them.
We thought the hats were very wonderful. We got to
try on hats. We enjoyed Mr. Bowling's visit very much.
We thought the stuff he brought made us feel smarter
about the Civil War.

Students from the
fourth through
eighth grade at Allen
Elementary recently
participated In Jump
Rope for Heart, a
program co-sponsored by the
American Heart
Association. In
exchange for collecting pledges and
volunteering to jump
rope for the day, students win prizes and
the school receives
certificates toward
purchase of physical education equipment. Allen students
raised $2,522.19,
according to physical education
teacher Waynette
Hoppman, who commended parents
and other members
of the community
for their time and
contributions.
Happy Mart, she
said, donated water
for the event. "The
students had a wonderful time participating," she said.
"We can all be
proud of their efforts
on behalf of a very
worthy cause that
benefits so many in
our community.
Let's hope they take
the message about
exercise to heart."
