?Chandler announces settlement
:with Time on sweepstakes mailings
Attorney General Ben Chandler
has announced that hi-. office, along
with 47 other stnte attomc) s general and the District of Columbia.
entered into a $4.9 million settlement with one of the country\
largest s\\eepstake' mailers.
fi
Under the terms of the settlement. Time Inc. will refund over
$35,600 to 47 "high activity"
Kentucky households who purchased over $500 in products over
the past three years.
In addition to the refunds, Time
Inc. has agreed to provide a clear
• and conspicuous "Sweepstakes
Facts'' disclosure and to establish a
"Sweepstakes Do Not Promote
Lbt" for high acti \'il)' customer~.
Pic
The S\\eepstake~ Facts will include
a statement that buying will not
help the consumer win the sweepstakes. that the consumer has not
yet won. that the consumer does not
have to buy anything to enter the
sweepstakes and state the odds of
winning a prize.
"We wanted to make certain that
consumers who receive sweep
stakes mailings understand they
don't have to buy anything to have
a chance to win and that buying
will not help their chances of winning," Attorney General Ben
Chandler said. "We believe the
Sweepstakes Facts disclosure will
help consumers make an informed
decision."
Furthermore, Time Inc. will not
be able to misleadingly state that a
consumer is the winner or about to
become the winner of a sweepstakes; tell consumer11 they have a
better chance of winmng a sweepstakes than they actually do; or represent that the sweepstakes package
has been sent by special courier or
a special class of mail if it has not.
Some consumers in Kentucky
and elsewhere, particularly the
elderly, have purchased the products in sweepstakes because they
believed the purchases would
enhance their chances of winning.

On a late January afternoon just
about a half step from dismal, I completed the work for my bachelors
degree at Pikeville College by handing Dr. Anna I. Miller two bluebooks
brimming with the best hillbonics I
could conjure up. Dr. Miller had
spent considerable time subtly shaping my prose with lengthy comments on the papers she assigned all
too frequently for my taste. Heading
do\\ n the never-ending-99 for '"hat I
hoped wao; the last time, I allowed
•1myself a brief moment of elation that
finally all my education was behind
me. I was 20 years old and dead certain I knew everything I wa supposed to know: now I could get on
with living my life.
The l.ec Scott marching down
those 99 steps, shaking off the dust
of Pikeville College forever, was a
whole different person from the
Linda Sue Preston who had moved
her saddle shoes and Ban·Lon
sweater sets into the third-floor corncr room of Derrinna llalllittle more
than three ) ears before. I leumed a
tan of academic material at Pikeville
:# College - enough basic subject;
matter knowledge to face with confidence a lifetime of standardi?.ed
tests. That they were able to teach
me the material I needed to kno\\
wtthout first insisting that I must radically change the way I expressed
myself is near miraculous.
I had not been away from
Pikeville College a full month when
my first supervisor - in Asheville.
North Carolina, yet- took me aside
and somewhat Jess than gently suggested that I should perhaps take
some elocution lessons. An Amherst
graduate, he said he had been much
impressed with my speaking and
writing but he warned me that however good my grammar, that accent
would mark me. Bear in mind that
this conversation took place in
Ashe\ ille, North Carolina - the
very heart of Appalachia. Thb was
the first, but certainly not the la!>t
time someone suggested that I not
carry my heritage in my mouth.
I can only imagine how debilitating it might have been if that advice
had come before Pikeville College
convmced me that I was as smart as
anybody else and that foreshortenmg
vowels in my hurrying to consonants
in no way suggested I lacked understanding of the terms I wa~ using. At
Pikeville College they set high goals
for all of us and never compromised
their standards. At no point during
my time there did anyone ever sugge~t that maybe any work was too
difficult, that perhaps I should consider something less challenging.
Almost 40 years later, I came
home to Pikeville College last month
and like any such return-to-thesource experience, it involved conllidcrable sentiment on the part of
this homecomer. J didn't come
home alone either; accompanied as I
was by a gaggle of folks who have
surrounded and supported me over
my lifetime. They made up the better
part of two rows, having traveled to
Eastern Kentucky's hills from
Maine, California. and many points
in between. It was a scholarly occasion, the opening of school and my
tmveling team has its share of scholars; among them they hold more
than two dozen degrees from institutions such as Stanford, Harvard, and
myriad colleges and universities.
I W<ts proud to take them on the
hill and introduce the people I love
to the college I love. Pikeville
College nurtured me. while expecting much of me. Fulfilling those
high expectations gave me a belief in
my own ahility and the courage to
build on what I had I' m happy with
that Thanks, PC: it was an honor to
come home

Lies, damn lies

Trash busters
Most people would mther think about almost anything
besides garbage. Discus~ions about mandatory trash collection. roadside litter. recycling and illegal dumps can make the
eyes glaze over. After all, garbage is what remains after the
exciting part of any product has been consumed.
But Kentuckians must face up to the truth. We have a big
garbage problem Rural roadsides are strewn wilh litter, and
400,000 pounds of trash a day go unaccounted for in the commonwealth.
Probably most of that trash ends up in landfills, but an esti·
mated 80.000 to 120.000 pounds are thrown into hollows.
creek beds. sinkholes and other illegal dumping places- and
that's every single day.
This creates ugly messes across the landscape - an economic danger to a state hungry for tourist dollars. But there is
a far greater danger: Eventually, garbage - which includes
such things as used batteries and paint - works its way into
water sources.
That's why House Majority Floor Leader Greg Stumbo,
who has dedicated himself to getting the General Assembly to
address these issues during the past few legislative sessions,
thinks this is "an environmental time bomb that will soon go
off."
Kentuckians who themselves don't want to think about
garbage will be happy to know that Rep. Stumbo, Gov. Paul
Patton. and Natural Resources Secretary James Bickford are
at work on a comprehensive plan
The Governor has announced that he will send the General
Assembly a bill in February. He plans to put h1s full energy
behind it. which means legislation has a good chance of passing this time.
During the last meeting of the General Assembly. progress
was derailed by one of the provisions in the legislation: the
controversial bottle bill. This time, says Rep. Stumbo, he will
not be pushing for container deposits as part of the solution.
That's a wise deciSIOn - the bottle bill created political
opposition from retailers and bottlers that just couldn't be
overcome
But the bottle bill did contribute two important elements to
the last comprehensive plan, and those working on the new
plan must find a way to replace them. The bottle bill created
a funding stream for clean-up programs. It also created incentives for people to change their behavior.
And behavior changes are the key to permanently solving
the garbage problem. Right now, a lot of Kentuckians toss
trash into the roadside without thinking. In some parts of the
state, residents think it's outrageous for the government to tell
them they must have trash pick-up.
"Education, education, education" was Gov. Patton's
theme for the last meeting of the General Assembly. Next
time. he needs to add "garbage education."
It won't make for great entertainment. interesting bedtime
reading, or clever party chat. We probably won't hear a lot of
campaign debate this fall about various plans for garbage
reform.
But garbage is a critical issue for Kentucky to address. The
Governor, Rep. Stumbo and Secretary Bickford are right to
put it high on the public agenda.

Republicans only, and any outside parties were not
represented.
How can a candidate from another party get 15
percent in the polls if the American people are not
even allowed to see him matched up against Bush
and Gore? Not allowing Nader to take part in the
debates is against the principle of true democracy
and mdicatcs that the Democrats and
Republicans not only have control of politics in
America. but also that they arc possibly afraid that
Nader's honesty and wisdom will threaten their
stranglehold on democracy.

Governor Bush is not the only one having
difficulty explaining federal budgets, taxes
and the "surplus." Understandably it is hard
to separate truth from fiction amid the politi·
cal ads and candidate speeches. The confusion starts with Congress itself. apparently as
a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.
Congress approves and funds an annual
operating budget for the federal flscal year
starting October I. Several years ago, in an
attempt to limit run-away federal deficits.
Congress voted annual budget "caps," but
they proved impossible to maintain. Over
"cap" expenditures were then authorized as
"emergencies" to preserve the facade of
adhering to the "caps." Criticism finally led
Congress to add an annual inflation increase
to the "caps." now the basis for projections of
large annual surpluses.
The Congressional Budget Oftice (CBO)
is the non-partisan agency doing the budget
forecasts. Key to understanding CBO forecasts is the fact that Congress dictates the
rules that CBO must follow. Congress. by the
rules it imposes, can manipulate forecasts,
creating a surplus or deficit. Surpluses are
desired by Congress; it is no surprise that
rules favor generating surpluses.
The confusion starts in defining "surplus"
or "deficit.'' It is not simply an excess of revenue over expenditures; it is defined by comparing the total national debt* at the beginning of the federal fiscal year (October 1)
with the total national debt at the end of the
year (Sept. 30). For more than 30 years we
have had an annual deficit. For the first time
this year, ending Sept 30. the total debt will
be less than last Oct. l.
Forecast rules for CBO start with the current year's budget and add cost of living
(COL) increases. The budget consists of 13
major appropriation bills and the defense bill
is some 50 percent of the total. Both presidential candidates propose larger than COL
increases for defense. To meet forecast numbers there must be reductions in the other 12
bills. reductions that will increase w1th compounding over 10 years. It is unlikely that
Congress would be willing to make such cuts
although Congress might exclude some added
expenditures as "emergencies," which appear
to honor the caps. but add to total national
debt (reducing the real surplus).
There are other problems. By general
agreement Social Security (SS) is excluded
from surplus calculation; these funds will be
needed for an ag1ng population. There are
other smaller, earmarked (Trust) funds,
counted as revenue (adding to the surplus),
needed later or may even be needed now.
Thus the current year surplus, estimated as
$60 billion, would be reduced to $20 billion if
we exclude (as we should) Medicare and
other Trust Funds.
One reason for the current poor services
experienced by air travelers is that Congress
refuses to spend all the airport taxes collected,
thus building up the trust fund (making the
budget surplus appear to be larger). In truth,
all trust funds should be excluded from the
budget surplus and put in a "lock box" like
SS They are needed for the purposes for
\\- hich they were collected.
Recently Alan Auerbach (Berkeley) and
William Gale (Brookings) have calculated
that of the proJected 10-year surplus $800 billion belongs just to Medicare and federal pensions. Bill ions more are owed to other smaller trust funds.
Assuming that the annual budget will only
increase by the COL each year is probably
inadequate. Surpluses are generated by
growth of the economy and population.
Government services will c1ther grow at the
same rate or be cut back if funding grows
more slowly. The two major Presidential candidates both propose additional spending for
education, health and other projects.
Government services annual funding
increased by both the COl. and Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) w1ll further reduce
the surplus.
The federal operating budget now is JUSt 6
percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
compared to 12 percent in 1962; non military
spending is now at its lowest level since 1962.
There is not much room for cuts. When
Auerbach and Gale add in annual budget
increases equal to GDP growth the total tOyear surplus is reduced to just $350 b11lion.
So how do all of lhest: numbers add up?
The CBO IO·year total projected surplus is

When the 7:30 p.m. hour strikes, it will be
football time on yet another Friday night. At
• Belfry High School, the Pirates will host Ted
George and his Betsy Layne Bobcats. But
when the two,tcarns line up. it will not be a
healthy Betsy Layne team with one starter out
and two questionable.
Betsy Layne will be coming off a 54-0
embarrassment at South Hoyd this past
Friday night and Coach George knows his
team IS better than what they d1splayed at the
Left Beaver school.
Questionable for the game is running back
Adam Collins and wide receiver Brock
Keathley. Out for the Cats will be running
back Matt Willinms.
Coach Phillip Haywood's Pirates got off to
a quick start winning the first two games in
style at the season's beginning. Hut the
fJ. Pirates ran into a buzz saw in losing to
Lawrence County lust Fnday night.
"Against South Floyd in the second quarter, I looked over ami saw the biggest part of
my offense out period, l kne\\ it was going to
he a long night."
Belfry will line
up in their 52
defense but Coach
George feels his
team can run on
Betsy Layne them.
"I saw the tape
when Lawrence
Belfry
County played them
and they ran lhe ball
well against it.'' said

coach. "I think we
Time:
went against better
athletes \\hen we
7:30p.m.
played South Floyd
last week.''
The Betsy La) ne coach is remaining optimistic but being realistic as the :>ame time.
''There will h;JVe to he u full moon out
when we linl! up against Belfry.'" he said.
'"They arc a good football team. They are
f Belfry and what can you say about a Phillip
Haywood coached team."
Belfry will come at the Bobcats with the
likes of one Curtis Childers (5'8", 145,
senior) who has done it all on offense for the
Pirates. He has 13 receptions for 202 yards,
He has carrkd the football 33 times for 253
yards.
"Curtis is our leading receiver," said Belfry
coach Phillip Ha) \\ ood. ''He is also close to
being our leading rusher as well.''
Coach Haywood said his team has suffered
a lot of injuries in the early weeks of the season.
"Half of them will not pia) agamst Betsy
tp) Layne," he said "We are beat up and most of
our skill players did not play against
Lawrence County last Frida) night.''
The Pirates will bring in Childress who has
scored seven touchdowns in the first three
games of the 2000 season.
At quarterback, Casey Lequire (5'10". 180,
senior) will handle the duties behind center.
Lequire has helped the Pirate tans gel over
the departure of last year signul caller
Jonathan Wright. now with the Pikeville
College football Bear!'.. Lequire has tossed for
II touchdown!. thus far this season. He threw
for 190 yards against Belfry and has close to
500 yards for the first three games.

Camma.ra say~ he is all confused
about the events that took place last
weekend when he was arrested for
DUI.
What is there to he confused
about? He drank too much. should
have stayed off the roadways. and
should have been home instead out
at that hour .
Tubby Smith is going have to get
designated drivers for all his players. Other schools have started to
call for the service~ of Jules. UK
said he can hang around until next
year and be back on the team. But
don'tlook for Jules to show UK any
favor<.. Too late to enter the NBA
draft. Hang around UK Jules until
the next NBA draft in June.

HAYWOOD SCOUTING REPORT
Rebels
ha\e
senior
quarterback/kicker/defensive end
Jonathan bllis. The Allen Central
senior has been a big part of Rebels
special teams throughout his high
school caret•r. but has struggled
kicking the football early on this
season.
1 '
•·Jle is getting better \\ ith each
game." said the Pirate mentor.
The offensive anJ Jefensh e
lines will be anchored by Shawn
Taylor (5' I 0". 226, st~nior).
"Shawn has played n.'l') \\ell
for on both sides of the foothall,"
said Coach Haywood.
COACH GEORGE KEYS
TO A WIN
"'We have to contain Childress,"
said Coach George. "If he gets outside he is going to be tough to
stop. We have to control the tootball. Last year. against them. we
had a 85 yard scoring drive or
eight minutes. We need three such
drives. and then we \\ill he 10 the
game."
Williams is suffering from a
sore neck and jammeu it again in
the South Floyd game.
"He was running the ha.ll good
against South Floyd .until he
jammed his neck again.'' said the
Betsy Layne coach. "'Hl' had 10
come out and never played again.''
Coach George said his team
would take their time and run the
hall more against Belfry. He plans
to move Brent !Iamilton to tailback
and let him run the ball more.
"I am proud or Brent and the
way he handled himself last Prid~•Y
night,'' said Coach George.
Game time
j,
set for 7:30.
The Allen Central
Rebels played
good volleyball
with excellent
play around the
net before falling

Winnmg the fi rst of a best of
three series doesn't always mean a
sure fire 'ictory, hy no stretch of
the intagin:ttton. Just ask the Allen

the next two gnrn~. the third by
onl) two meager points.
Becky Smith,
Shannon
S11emore and Leslie Martin were a
b1g part of the Allen Central attack
in g.tmc one. The trio combined for
more than three founh~ of the Allen
Central scores Johnna ]<;on, Kart
Osborne and Amanda Potter al~o

Rebels to po t a 15 9 wut
Game two of the best ol three
stat ted with Potter scrvrng her tram
to three strmght points. Back ancl
forth play kept the gume C\en
before Paintsville's I leather Dame!
took charge. Dame! bastcally did
all that any coach could have asked
of a pia) er. She set, <,he \oil e) ed
and ~he hnd several kills When all
was said and done, the Pmntsville
l1ger.; had ended their run and
ended game tY. o with n 15-10 'ictory. Painto;,ille's bench play was
superb in game two. Five Tigers
made their way into the game from
the bench and made huge contributwns. ~1isplayed ball~ by the
Rebrls around the net forced a third
and deciding game.
Following a lost sene by Allen
Central selllor Amanda Potter, the
·11gers once again took over. lookIllS to get the game ~tarted in sinu

More tales from rabies
clinics ...
A~ I hali~ said hcforc. I love a g(•<KI
countywide rabil!!' clinic. If Ripley's
'·J:klieve [t Or Not' ' people really want a
good ~tory. they should find a country vet
and ride along.
I also think that participation in a rural
rabies clinic should be required of newly
graduated veterinarians sometime during
their intl!m~hip.
It'~ a trial by fire that nothmg in the vet
school curriculum could prepare one for.
Whether it's the heat. the inten~ pace. or
the uncertainty you face at each stop, I've
found that clinics soon take on a surreal
quality that is not just my imagination.
The strangest one event I cao remember
occurred so far up in the head of a holler
that we thought we were hopelessly off cour!oe when we
drove the route a few weeks
earlier to calculate the time
we should allow between ~..
stops.
The clinic was 1<.1 he held
at a tin) grocery store, built
on the. side of the road so the
back half of the building proJected out into thin air over a
~heer rock cliff. This portion
was prevented from crashing
down the 20-foot embankment
by an assortment of rickety timbers.
The front Of the '\lOre faced a vertical
cliff face aao~s \\hat wa!> supposl!d to pas~
a:- a two-lane road. There Wa!oo about enough
room for thrcl' or four vehicle), to park if
they were placed carefully.
Oh. yes. I forgot to mention that thi~
oasis was situated neatly between two blind
CUI"\'C!i.
My assistant. Carol. and I (everyone
referred to us as Doc Carol and Crazy Carol,
supposedly to avoid confusion) were discussing the parking situation as we sped
toward the stop. late as always. We concluded that there should be no problem
smce the area was so remote.
Boy. were we wrong. We rounded the
curve and Lslammed on the brakes as the
scene came into view. There were cars,
pickups, people and dogs as far as we could
see- which admittedly wa~n't far.
Reali11ng who we were, the waiting people obligingly pulled, backed and otherwise
rearranged the vehicles until we could pull
almost off the road on the thin strip of dirt
that separated the blacktop from the drop·
off.
Carol decided the safest place to station herself to write certificates was on
the s1de of the truck nearest the overhang, so she didn't have to stand in
the road.
She discovered she could manage reasonably well if she hooked
one elbow over the truck bed to
maintain her balance while using
the vaccine cooler as a writing surface.
If I could only accurutely
this ~ccnc. Ewry
vehicle appeared lo be overflowing with people as wl!ll
as dogs. Some may have carpooled because of the Jack
of p01rking, but I suspect
there were a lot uf speclaton; who had come for
the show.
Of course. there were a few cats
scattered here and there to add Interest.
Carol was already shouting at the cat own
ers. "Don't bring him out here. She'll come
to the car."
J was stepping carefully to avoid Beagle
toes, and I could feel a large nose going up
and down my leg, and I was praying it
wouldn't be followed by that familiar.
spreading warm feeling.
A couple of dogfights broke out and were
quickly controlled Someone was demonstrating his dog's ability to dance on its hind
legs in the middle of the road. Two men
hehind me were swapping knives. I could
hear a pack of hounds baying somewhere
off in the distance and absently wondered if
they were headed for the rabies clinic.
I was loading vaccine as fast as I could
go and starting to feel like I was working in
a fast-food restaurant. as Carol shouted
directions on who was next.
"Two coonhounds for everything. back
of the black pickup - the bluetick bites!

dress. IGtten in the Jeep. too young for
rabies, just a distemper shot. but check its

During one ot my vaccine rctill
stops back at the truck, I could hear
yet annthcr approaching motori<>L.
This one seemed to be mo\ ing fair1> fast. Probably thinks he\, late, 1
thought.
It turned out to be a man on a motorcycle, and apparently the only resident
of the community completely unaware
of the scheduled clinic
He rounded the curve. saw the chaos.
and. like me. slammed on the brakes.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work as well on
a motorcycle - possibly because he was
also trying to avoid an elderly lady leading
an equally elderly collie across the road on
a piece of seagrass rope.
He lost control of the bike just as he
came out of the curve. turned over and skidded the entire length of the straight stretch,
finally coming to rest at my feet, under the
clinic truck's tailgate.
l juo;t stood there. I had no other option,
except to jump over the hill. Carol and I
exchanged do-you-believe-this? looks.
shook our head" and went back to what we
were doing,
Thi.. man sheepishly picked up his bike,
got on anJ rode out of sight. I still don't
know if he had any idea what was going on.
The remainder of the clinic was anticlimactic, thankfully, and we eventually pulled
out. very late for our next stop.
In the followmg years, we held many
rabies clinics at that little store, but never
one that came close to that first experience.

TENSION HEADACHES
Millions of Americans take pain relief medications to light ofT headaches.
These pharmaceutical produc~ offer tempomry relief at hc.~t and sometimes
cause various unpleasant side cffecls. Why do we get headaches'? Studies report
there are several possible reasons. 11tcse include allergies, nutritional deficiencies, improper C:lting habits, hormonal imbalances and, ol course-. stress.
A growing number of studies show that a high percentage of headaches, espeCially thm.e frorn tension. arc caused by the dysfunction of nerves in the upper
!'t.'gion of thl' .:ervical spin~.: (neck). These report-; also point to the long-tenn
effectiveness of chiroprat:til: manipulation in relieving hc:!dacbc symptoms.

to your neck and spine prohlcm-; and to splitting headaches.

Boosting KCHIP
enrollment should
be high priority
Finding ways to keep children healthy should be one
of Kentucky's top goals. So when the Kentucky
Children's Health Insurance Program was introduced to
cover the health care needs of children whose families
make too much to receive Medicaid, but not enough to
pay for medical care, it was rightly seen as a blessing.
There was only one problem. Unlike the saying in the
movie ''Field of Dreams," just because you build it does
not mean people will come.
Although an estimated 78,000 children are eligible
for KCHIP. in January 1999 only 5,500 had been signed
up. The program began with money appropriated by
Congress in 1997.
Fortunately, hard work to get the word to eligible
families is producing positive results.
An advertising blitz on television, radio and buses.
along with a shoe leather campaign by health department workers and help from school teachers to spread
the word has resulted in 55,000 children now enrolled in
the KCHIP program.
While a 70 percent participation rate is a vast
improvement. the state still has far to go to consider the
effort a success. Leaving 23,000 children without health
insurance is not the level of ''success" we should accept.
How to increase the numbers further is a frustrating
problem. For parents who make sure their children have
access to medical care, it seems unfathomable that parents without the means to do so would bypass an opportunity for free coverage. But until we understand the reasons behind that reluctance, it will be difficult to
reverse.
One reason is that some people are too proud to
accept free assistance, or are embarrassed to a~k for it.
Another is that the enrollment process in the past could
be intimidating for people not used to dealing with government agencies.
The enrollment form was once 12 pages, but it has
been simplified to two, said Doris Goldstein, supervisor
of eligibility and outreach for KCHIP. It also can be
taken home to be completed, which eliminates some parents reluctance to come to a county office and be seen
applying for assistance.
Making sure children have health concerns addressed
early on will alleviate lingering problems later, which
become more expensive to correct. It keeps children in
school and better able to concentrate and learn.
Continuing to search for ways to increase the number
of children enrolled has to remain a high priority for
Kentucky, if we want to start improving our woeful
health status.

-Letters t~e E ditorResidents want attention to road
Editor:
We the people on Simpson Branch of Drift want to
ask the Floyd C11unty Fiscal Coun why they leave our
road out, when we arc taxpaying, good people, some
retired, some widowed, 'omc just tr) ing to raise their
familic~.
When we sec all the other roads in the Floyd
County Time<> that arc getting blacktop, it makes us
wonder wh) \\C can't get our road fixed or blacktopped, though we arc glad our neighbors arc gening
the help the) need for their roads.
We have given tht.• court u petition with more than
100 signatures on it. stating how critical our road is. I,
Clinis Hall, do think it is a personal thing again~t me
for not voling the way I wa' told to. So, if I'm right,
please don't make our l"itizcns of Simp~on Branch
suffer because of this.
I feel that every citizen of Floyd County deserve:-.
to be trealed e4ually, and we feel as though we have
been forgotten. We want to invite every citizen of
Floyd County to vistt our hollow and meet some of us
and observe this road. and we're sure they will understand why we are so upset.
It has been said that Coal Mac left money to the
fiscal coun to re-blacktop this road when they left.
They have been gone for quite some time and we
have not seen any progress on our road, so if this
rumor ts true. where·s the money?
We want to ask Paul Hunt Thompson, county
judge-executive. and all the commissioners to please
consider our road to be blacktopped, or at least let us
know why they won't.
Thank you for taking the tinie to acknowledge this
problem.

More free-speech Internet issues
The Internet may be creating nev. economic opportunity, but it's ahu creating ~omc fa~cinnting legal
headaches. Consider these two examples:
• Neo-Nnzi groups in Germany arc getting around
their country's tough rcsttictions on racist and 'iolcnt
speech by basing their Web sites on access providers in
the United States and other countries. About 90 such
groups ha\C placed their hate-filled content on L..Sbased sites so far. Nco-Nazi group~ nrc al.;o placing
their paean~ to Hitler on sites based in a \ ariety of
European countties: in the '\cthcrlands. some 350 such
sites have been registered. 1l1e German government
has no legal leverage to shut dov. n the sites.
• In France, a judge ordered Yahoo Inc., the Internet
services company based in Santa Clara. Calif., to stop
providing Nazi artifacts on its Engli~h-language auction site. Putting such items up for auction, the judge
declared, is '"an offense against the collective memory"
of France, which was occupied by Gennany during
World War II. Yahoo. which doc~ not place Nazi memorabilia for sale on its Francc·based subsidiary, is challenging the ruling. The judge has the option to impose
steep fines if Yahoo docs not suhmtt to his ruling.
The cases reveal the lack of consensus over whether
governments can apply national laws to regulating the
Internet. The German govenunent, which recently
began a crackdown on far-right groups in the wake of
violent incidents. has chosen not to try to apply its strict
l>pccch regulations to Internet content based outside its
borders. The French government, on the other hand,
takes the opposite view. French authorities appear
determined to enforce their national laws regardless of
whether they wind up trampling on free-speech rights
that, in the United States, receive finn protection under
the Constitution.
It"s far from clear whether this friction between the
wide-open nature of the Internet and the restrictive
laws of Individual governments can be resolved.
Several possibilities deserve mention.
In the Netherlands, an activist group employs a
clever short-tcrn1 strategy to reduce the breathing room
for neo-N:ui sites. The group registers as many Web
site names with neo-Nazi references as possible names relattng to concentration camps, the phrase
"Heil Hitler" and other familiar references - and then
holds onto the names without placing any coment on
the sites. Thu~ is cyber squatting being employed to
fight back against apologists for Hitler.
That is only a shon-term solution, of course. Some
experts say the best overall remedy is technological. by
developing filters to screen out content in specific
countries. Others say the ultimate solution has to be in
creating an international body to hammer out international standards.
One thing's for sun!. The legal headaches will continue ac; long as the Internet remains decisively influenced by Americans, whose notion of freedom is
thank.fully far broader than that seen in most of the rest
of the world.

Unusual
requests
We get some rather interesting
request here at the paper.
One day this young man parked in
the Times parking lot and went on to
court (let me say up front that we
frown on such practice) and left his
lights on. Not ha\ ing a Die Hard battery, he didn't have enough juice to
start the car. He asked me to boost him.
J told htm J would take a little keen
sv.itch and run him to Wheelwright.
"Huh?'" he asked. I told him it was a
joke.
Anyway while we were getting the
car started, he informed me that he got
the car for $5 in one of those sales at
Pikeville. l always thought that was
just a ploy to get customers in, but he
affirmed that he got the vehicle for just
$5. I told him if he came to
Prestonsburg and made it back home
one time, he had made a bargain He
assured me he had made many such
trips. Best bargain I have heard about
in a long time.
One Saturday. a lady who lives
close to the Times building called and
said she didn't get her Friday paper. 1
told her that cht\ airy was not dead and
I would hand carry it to her ''Come
on," she said. I took it to her and now
she thinks I'm a prince.
Of course we get calls all the time
asking that a lawsuits or divorces not
be put in the paper. I can tell you now
that such a request will not be honored.
If the paper honored those requests,
there would be none to report. Anyway
if you have been sued or your marriage
has broken up, deal \\ith it. Nearly
everyone who cares one way or the
other already knows.
Recently a nice young lady popped
into the oftice on a Saturday afternoon
and asked if anyone could tie a knot. I
thought they were ha\'ing a hanging
down at the Justice Center and grabbed
for my camera - sure that I was going
to get the biggest scoop of my career
(and the only one, many of you will be
quick to point out).
Such was not the case She simply
wanted someone to tie a young man's
tie (we assumed it was her son) since
he was due at a wedding shortt).
By acclamation, Ralph Da\ is was
selected to do the job. After the mother
and her son left. we kidded around
with some headlines about the e\'ent.
"Editor choke~ groom with his own
tie." Davis said that one would not fly
as he was ~ure the young man was not
the prospective groom So we tried
again '"Choking back journalistic decorum, editor does young churchgoer a
favor."
OK, so they arc not that funny. It
can be hard to be funny on Saturday
afternoon after a full week of finding
at1d reponing the news so we take what
chances we get for a little levity and
other fancy words that tend to make us
sound more intelligent than we really
are. The crew j, yelling -hey. speak
for yourself
When something goc~ wrong this
week, which tt will unless you li\e on
Upper Utopia. have a little fun with it,
It's easier to laugh than cry and a
whole lot better for your health.

(NAPS)-11lere is an enormous
amount of frustration in the manufactunng sector of the United Stales
economy. The workers arc doing
everything right-this is the most productive era in our economic history,
quality is way up, and there seems to
be a healthy balance of power
between management and labor. And
yet these workers arc afraid they'll
Jose their JObs to unseen forces any
day now.
Globalization for this group of
people has been an unmitJgated disaster that has dbrupted their way of
life. Headlines such ns "NAFTA
_. Partners Help U.S Imports Rise
) 14.7 percent," or Africa·CBI Btll
Sails Through Congress,'' and
"China Entry Into World Trade
Organi1.ation" foretell further erosion of jobs in the sector.
And in fact the following headline, found 111 a recent issue of
Women's Wear Daily, describes
where these jobs are going.
"Cambodians
Decry
factory
Conditions,'' is a report on a labor
action in Cambodia mounted by factory workers from that country's garment district. The group marched
• through Cambodia's cap1tal to
protest working conditions nnd pay
scale and forced overtime.
In December 1999, our government increased Cambodia's quota by
5 percent-even as the Administration
denounced the labor conditions in
the country's factories.
Cambodia's factories produce
garments that are sent to the United
States and soon take their place
among the shelves of department
stores and boutiques across the
country. Other Third World countries such as China, Mex1co,
Honduras. Indonesia, several :>ubSaharan African countries and the
Caribbean also compete for our market and offer U.S.-based manufacturers the bottom-line benefits of
cheap labor.
But this labor doesn't really want
to be cheap. As the protests indicate,
they want to be able to afford a better way of life and be paid a fair
wage. and nor be the commodtty
they now are. And on these shores,
our workers simply wish to keep
their jobs, and not have to sacrifice
them to the underpaid of the Third
World.
The tens of thousands of jobs lost
to this transfer-the U.S. lost 15,000
manufacturing jobs between January
and March 2000 alone-also signal an
enormous trade imbalance. Through
the first quarter of this year our trade
imbalance on goods has shot up 43
percent, to 41.6.6 billion. Chma and
Mexico alone account for more than
20 percent of that total, both countries having targeted America as a
ripe market for price exploitation.

Diabetes reaches epidemic proportions
(NAPS)
The statistics arc
staggcnng. Diabetes is the number
one health problem facing
Hispanic-Americans in the United
States. In fact, they are twice as
likely as Caucasians to die from
the disease and complications
stemming from it.
Equally as concerning, one in
four African-American women,
over the age of 55 are estimated to
have the disease. Both Hispanic
and African-Americans are nearly
twice as likely to develop type 2 or
adult-onset diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of
the disease, where the body
becomes insensitive to insulin and
can no longer properly use il.
Although diabetes is a chronic
disease without a cure, it can be
controlled through diet. exercise,
and sometimes medication . The
greatest risk factors contributing
to this growing epidemic arc obesity and lack of regular exerc1se.
But, obesity isn't the only factor
that affects diabetics differently
than the general population.
Diabetics often have a higher incidence of urinary tract infectiOnS
(UTI).
The good news is diabetics can
take precautions to maintain a
healthy urinary tract, and Ocean

proven to help. Medical research
confirms what has been nutrition

Association, elderly women who

chance for developing UTis.

Cranberry juices and Ju•ce

has joined the medical staff of the

Paintsville
(NUB) - Today's complex
cars and hectic family schedules
leave most people with neither the
time nor mclination for much in
the way of backyard car repairs.
So findi ng a good automotive
repair facility is an important step
tn protecting your automotive
investment.
The National Institute for
Automotive Service Exce11ence
(ASE), a nonprofit organization
that tests and certifies the competence of individual automotive
repair technicians, offers the following tips on choosing a repair
facility.
• Look for a repair business
before you need one; you can
make better decisions when you
are not rushed.
• Ask friends and associates for
their recommendations.
• Consult local consumer organizations about the reputation of
the shop; inquire about the number, nature and resolution of complaints.
• Do not choose a shop based
only on a convenient location.
• You probably won't find hospital-clean conditions, but look for
a tidy, well-organized facility,
with vehicles in the parking lot
equal in value to your own and
modern equipment in the service
bays.
• Ask if the shop usually handles your vehicle make and model
or type of repair. Some faci!Jties
specialize.
• Look for signs of technician
competence. The customer area

accepting pediatric patients.

PSA
should display trade school diplomas, certificates of advanced
course work and ASE certifications - a national standard of
technician competence.
• Look for community service
awards, too: plaques for civic
involvement, customer service
awards, membership in the Better
Business Bureau and other consumer groups.
• Professionally run establishments will have a courteous, helpful staff. The manager, service
writer or technician should be
willing to answer your questions.
• Labor rates, fees for testing
and diagnostic work, guarantees,
methods of payment, etc. should
be posted.
• Feel free to ask for the names
of a few customers as references.
Call them .
• Start with a minor job.
Reward good service with repeat
business and more complex work.

The National Institute for

through the voluntary testing and
certification of automotive technicians.
ASE-certjfied technicians wear
blue and white ASE shoulder
insignia and carry credentials listing their exact area(s) of certifica- @Ill
tion. Their employers often display the blue and white ASE sign.

For the second consecutive weekend the Betsy
Layne Bobcats found it hard to generate any kind of
offense on the football field as high school football
entered rts third week.
Betsy Layne gained a meager 69 yards on the
ground, failing to get on the scoreboard in a 54-0
setback to South Floyd on the road.

seven of 16 passes. but the completions were only
good for 57 yards through the air.

B.J. Bryant has just picked up from last year and
ran his way through and around the Behy Lane line

PAINTING TIPS
Whde some people prefer oil-based
(atkyd) pa1nt for interior applicatiOns for
durability and washabifity, water-based
latex (latex aCI)'Iic) is generally more
popular, because rt is easier to apply,
dries faster, and cleans up with soap "
and water In any case, with paint. you
generally get what you pay for. The
more expensive paints have titanium
(for durab11ly) and more color p!Qments
(for better quality). Less expensive
paints have more filler, such as chalk,
and will not cover as well or last as long.
The average paint jOb will last about six
years, but top-of-the-hne paint. are likely
to last a good deal longer. And. there is
no point m purchasing top-quality paint.
ff you are going to skmp on tools.
Do·it-yourselfers and professional con·
tractors know that at HINDMAN PRO·
MART they will lind most everything '
they need for all types of painting and
finishing projects. Located at #1 Pro
St, Hindman (785-3151), our staff is
very well versed about matenals and
tools for most every home improve·
ment project, so 1f you have a part1cu·
lar queslton, don't hesitate to ask.

Need a special tool or piece of equip·
men! for a one·bme project? Vis1t our
extensive rental department.
HINT: For the best results, use
woven synthetic (nylon) roller covers, rather than the disposable
type, to roll paint onto interior walls.

Aweekly guide to sports in the Wlld, including the profess10nal bass fishing tour
Pros' First Step:
Joining a Club
lmost every single successful tournament bass pro
began his career in the same fashion -by joining a
local bass club. And. today, most credit those
formative years for being the foundation for their majorleague c.arcers.
The bass-club alumni include guys like Rick Clunn,
Shaw Grigsby, Kevin VanDam, Tim Horton, Gary
Klein, Aaron Martens, Jay Yelas and Davy Hite.
'Il1ey all learned the ABCs of their
livelihood in the low-pressure, fun
tournaments of their club days.
"'Most guys who are fishing
nationally started in a dub," said Mike
Surman. a Florida pro and the FLW
Tour's first winner. "Then they fished
local team or draw tournaments, then
moved onto the national circuit.
WJoining a bass club is a great way
for guys v. ho think that they want to

Notebook ev£'n want
to have what it takes."
Six-time BAS.S Masters Classic
champion Bernie &·hultz is a prime example. While
studying fine arts at the University of Florida. Schultz
was invited to join a bass dub by one of his professors.
That club (Bassmasters of Gator Country) has a storied
history. Its members have included Grigsby, six-time Red
Man All-American qualifier Gary Simpson and current
BASSMASrER pros Tom Burke and Darrell Pons.
Schooled by such high-caliber club competition,
Schultz went on to <.•xcel in local, regional and Red Man
tournaments before joining the BASS ~cene in 1987.
~It was a very competitive dub," Schultz said. "I fished
with some really good people. people that were better
than me, and that's a key in any sport- put yourself with
knowledgeable people."
It was on the club level that BASS winner Peter
Thliveros began dreaming of a career in fishing. As a
teen-ager, Thliveros won his dub's angler of the year
honor and was awarded a free entry into a BASS
tournament He finished a remarkable fifth in that event
"I knew I wanted to be a pro bass fisherman,"
Thliveros said. "I talked to my hi~h school guidance
counselors about it."
Kentucky pro )lark Menendez was introduced to a
local bass club by an older neighbor. When Menendez
was 14, he obtained an aluminum bass boat with a 4().
horsepower outboard motor. Then he joined the
Kentucky Lake Bass Club.
''You had to be 16 to get in," Menendez said. "I didn't
lie about my age. I told them I had taken two boating
safety courses, and I was very serious about bass
fishing."
The club soon found out just how serious the
youngster was. Four months after joining the club,
Menendez won hi~ first tournament.

realize what just occurred ..
the competition has increased dramatically
over the past decade, more and more of the
nation's top tournament pros have begun to
place a bigger premium on their physical
conditioning.
Make no mistake about it. this has
become a sport for athletes- well-conditioned athletes.
Former 1\1f'L defengive lineman Tim Goad, an aspiring
tournament pro from North Carolina. discovered that
fact the first time he participated as an amateur in a
BASSMASfER Top 150 tournament
·After the three practice days, I'm tired," Goad says.
"Mental fatigue will hurt me more than anytlting. Pro
:fishermen definitely have to be in shape. They have to be
very tough ment.ally.
-As far as physical demands, they're up early every
morning and go to bed late. They stand up all day fishing
and some don't even look tired. They look like they could
do another 12 hours witJrout any problem. 'f11ey've got to
be in great shape to do this. A lot of people don't think
fishing is very strenuous, but if you stand up in the front
of that boat and fish for eight hours, you \viii learn the
truth. People think they do this for fun, but I've been
around them enough to know that this is work. 'There is
nothing easy about it"
Indeed.
That is the reason that at any tournament site, you
might find David Fritts running cross -country, Roland
Martin cooking his own healthy meals or Paul Elias
working out with barbells that travel with him.
It has all become part of the game.
"I've always felt that physical conditioning in fishing is
largely ignored. yet it plays a major role in your ability to
compete on this level," said Rick Clunn, 53, who keeps
himself in peak condition. That is part of the reason that,
remarkably. he has never missed a single tournament
day in 27 years. "It is impossible to maintain your
concentration if you are not in shape and your body is
hurting. I try to optimize my level of concentration by
staying in the best possible shape."
Clunn exercises regularly and practices the martial
arts to improve his reflexes, quickness and
concentration.
It takes top-notch conditioning to be able to crank a big
deep diver all day in the summertime or flip a day's
worth of shoreline bushes.
As he headed toward the age of 60, Roland Martin
decided to get serious about his physical conditioning.
Two years later, he
had lost 40 pounds
and added
considerable
muscle tone to
his body.
"My motivation?," he said.
"Just feeUng bad.
Just had sore toes
from the gout. My
back was hurtin~
from being so
heavy. I couldn't
stand up and fish
like I should. Now
I'm standing up
fine. and I don't

artin has put half his age.
together a
game plan for staying in shape while on the road,
which can be a real challenge.
"It's a twofold deal.~ he explains. "I'm trying to st.ay
low-fat. I eat a lot because I'm a big eater. I eat a lot of
carbohydrates, but I do work out. The key to it is if you
eat a lot of c.arbs. you have to work out a lot. So I get up in
the morning and try to do 45 minutes of workout
aerobically -like stairs, running a mile, sit~ups, pushups. Even the morning of a tournament day, I get at least
30 minutes of exercise in.
'"To eat right, I go to some effort. I carry a steamer
v.ith me. I steam a lot of vegetables. I also have a little
George Foreman grill, which I use to cook a lot of wild
game like turkey breast and deer and elk meat. And wild
game is low-fat.
"I did a bunch of turkey this week. I marinate the
turkey breast in fat-free dressing and grill them on that
little grill. And I put a bunch of vegetables in the steamer.
And a potato, too, to get a little starch. A lot of salad with
fat-free dressing."
Martin credits his renewed interest in physical conditioning to reviving a tournament career that includes
BASS records for victories (19) and Angler of the Year
awards (nine). This past season, he enjoyed a solid year
on both the BASSMASTER and FLW circuits. At 60,
.Martin still competes with the best of them.

If tradition is any indication, the

Ironically, it's Sunday. the
day that many assume i!- the
most important day in a life of
any driver, that ends up being
Earnhardt's day at the beach,
comparatively speaking.
"Sunday is a fun day,"
Barnhardt says. "Race day is a
fun dny. It's the time you work
toward. That's what keeps me
racing. The hottom line is
when I get behind the steering
wheel, I'm not happy \\here
I'm at, I want to he doscr to
the front.
"Hope full). that's what has
gotten me here today and what
will keep me here for a couple
more )Cars."
But getting hack into the
heat of a championship battle
hasn't been an easy ta-,k for
the 49-ycar-old legend. The
past I\VO seasons Earnhardt has
finished SC\ cnth and eighth in
the point standings, and in
1997 he was winless for the
first time since 1981. His
hack-to-hack finishes outside
of· thc top h" vc hadn't hccn
act•omplished since he fm1shed
seventh. 12th and eighth in
1981. 1982 and 1983.
"It's been a confidence
boost.'' Earnhardt says of a
season that has one win. eight
top-five and 18 top-10 finishes. well on pace to surpass his
21 top lOs last year. "It's that
feeling you get. I've got a race
team that is solid and behind
me. and they arc there to win.
They want to work with me
and do the same things I do.
It's not somebody that is trying to do something else. I
think we have a really solid
race team, one that \\ants to
win."
And if the team puts
Earnhardt in po~itwn to \\in,
the craftv 'eteran usualh
knows how to pull throu.gh.
Earnhardt has plenty ol' expe·
rience in tight poinh races,
havmg been 10 four of the top
10 closest championship races
in Winston Cup history. He
won the championship by 19
points over Calc Yarl:mrough

As Earnhardt eyes an

The Intimidator doesn't allow
himself to be distracted from
closing in on the coveted title.
"As you get more involved,
you get more things going on

third in the point standings.
"Focusing on a championship
and focusing on racing the
way we do is a lot different
than the way we used to do

Not only does Earnhardt

Keller has a fan in Green. who has
been in his teammate's position before.
In 1999, Green linishcd second to Dale
Earnhardt .Jr., who won the Busch
Series title hy nearly 300 points. Green
also had top-5 finishes in 1995 and
1996. but was at least 500 points

Green said of
Keller.

record Ke tier

Ofcoursc not. He knows that the
annual clash with the Cardinals is
not ju"t another game for his players. In fact. he knows that \cry well
and he knows hi!' players read
newspapers. listen to radio and
\\<ttch telcvi,ion and he doesn't
want to send them a me~sagc in
public that is different than what he
says in private.
Alabama lost at home to
Loui~iana Tech last year, but ended
up wmniug the SEC championship.
Barna fan" were devastated at the
ume of the Tech los!>, but the pla)er~ brushed it aside and were able to
upset Florida a couple of weeks
later. Losing to in-state rival like
Louisville won't equate to a loss to
Louisiana Tech, but the point is that
one game. especially one outside
the conference, can't be the end-all
to a season if you ever want your
team to stan thinking like the teams
that win championships.
That's the point Mumme wants
to get across to his team - that the
most imponant things arc trying to
w1n an SEC title and trying to get to
a bo\\ I game.
For fans, the
Louis\ ille game is like a bowl
game, but Mumme wants them to
sec 1t only as a means to achieving
their goals.
That's what he was trying to say
after last Saturday's game. He's
been trained as a football coach. not
a speechwriter, so maybe he didn't
say it as well as he could have and
one sentence ends up becoming a
headline that upsets even Kentucky
fans.
I pred1ctcd a blowout win for
Kentucky based on my expectations
for an improved UK defense and a
U-of-L offense that might struggle
to replace players like Chris
Redman, Ibn Green and Frank
Moreau. Well. the Wildcats played
poorly on defense or Louisville's
replacements failed to mis~ a beat
or a combination of the two. Give

Kentucky rights the ship and sails to

Mumme knows the game was

"Just the love of Kentucky football." explained Dr. Robert Sims

FANTASY CATS
Here's a clear signal of just how
far the Kentucky football' program
has advanced under coach Hal
Mumme: last month, 40 men of
varying ages who share the common bond of total devotion to the
UK gridiron program paid $1,1 00
to attend a weekend fantasy camp
with Mumme and his coaching
staff.
Tony Franklin, the Wildcats'
offensive coordinator and wide
receivers coach, got the idea from a
buddy who coaches at Auburn.
Tigers' coach Tommy Tuberville
actually began the concept when he
was at Ole Miss and David
Cutcliffc has kept it going. meaning
Kentucky is one of only three SEC
teams to launch a project of this
type.
"Goodwill," Franklin responded,
when asked about the reason the
entire UK football staff, support
personnel included. embraced this
idea. "Those guys arc doing things
that our great athletes do and it
teaches them a greater appreciation.
It's a way of saying 'thank you' to
some people that have been really
good to us, by letting them know
things that other people will never
know.
"I think probably the biggest
thing is getting to know us (as
coaches-slash-people)." he continued. "I was hoping to have at least
20 I thought 30 would be great for
the first year."
But never underestimate the passion for Kentucky football, a school
that ha~ played before crowds averaging more than 50,000 fans per
game even before Mumme and
company made bowl trips more
than just a dream.
"I bleed Kentucky so much and
I've always wanted to be part of the
program in some way. I think all of
us have a little kid at heart and this
rekindles that. I played high school
football and officiated for 13 years
and I got to know some of the
coaches and I just want to help any
way I can.
''It's been more (fun than expect-
• Tom leach
in g).
"I've always been a Kentucky
football fan. but what coach
Mumme has done with the program
since he got here is just tremendous." Dr. Sims added.
"There's more excitement about
Kentucky football than there's ever
been in my life and I'm 40-years
old. Just to be able to touch and see
what goes on from the ins1de (IS
special). One of my most religous
experiences occured here in 1997
when we got up 21-nothing on
Louisville. Some of us looked at
each other and said 'is this
Kentucky football?' We had tears
in our eyes.
We had gone through these 3-tonothing games (in the past)."
The camp's roster even include a
federal judge, Henry Wilhoit of
Grayson
"Number one. l am a longtime
Kentucky fan. Number two. I'm a
tan of coach Mumme.
I believe his system, regardless
of who the player<; arc going to be,
\\ill produce winning football here
at Kentucky,'' Wilhoit said, who
-;aw his first UK game in 1949 at
Stoll Field. ''It certamly helps the
university. It attracts people to the
university and helps raise funds and
that's very imporranr. I never
played one game of organi£ed football, but I love it. Federal judges
have to behave themselves and all
we can do is watch TV and go to
ballgames.
Fantasy campers arrived on a
Friday evening and had a chance to
inf01mally mix with Mumme and
hb coachC\o after dinner.
On Saturday. the group arrived at
Commonwealth Stadium to find
their names on placards above lockers in the room where the team gets
ready for games. Inside. they found
a variety of UK pract1ce and game
attire, including a jersey with a
number and their name on it.
"One thing that really hit mea lot of the guys that came to that
fantasy that had never been
involved in high school football or
had never coached a sporl, when we
walked in the locker room and it
was like it is for the kids on
Saturday. it was like deer in the
headlights. It kinda got to me and
['ve been around this a long time. I
think these guys got the feeling of
what the kids feel like when they
walk in that locker room," observed Bob Comstock, a retired Louisville
businessman now living in Florida.
Comstock even brought his sons
along to enjoy the experience.
Each member of the coaching
staff took the campers through drills
that the players at the different positions experience on a daily basis in
practice. Mumme. for example,
explained the throwing motion they
like to see from the Kentucky quarterbacks, telling them throwing
darts is a good technique for youngsters to use to simulate the proper
form.
"The great thing about our system is that nothing changes. Every
Monday is the same, every Tuesday
1s the same and so on. You're really able to perfect your fundamentals. If you can get better at that
fundamental than the guy you're
going against. then you've got a
better chance to win," Mumme said
during his sesssion.
And defensive coordinator Mike
Major explained why he is flexible
on things like whether a a player
likes to attack from the standup
position or a three-point stance but
is rigid when it comes to drill work. •
''Regimentation is not going to
win you a lot of football games.
Disciplme is what is going to win
you football games. And you get
discipline by doing the same thing
over and over again till your body
don't feel like doing it," Major told
them. "I never saw where breaking
a huddle won you a football game."
After the drills, the fantasy
campers heard a detailed scouting
report on season-opening opponent
Louisville and recruiting coordinator Claude Bru;sett gave them a
step-by·step look at the wooing of a
prospect. But the highlight of the
weekend came on Saturday night,
when the camper<; returned to the
stadium to recreate two of the great
plays of the Mumme era-Tim
Couch's game-winning overtime
TD pass to Craig Yeast in the 1997
Alabama game and Matt Mumme's
fake punt pass to Gary Davis to tum
the tide in the '98 comeback win
over Indiana. Then. a video of the
day's activities was shown on the
stadium scoreboards.
"We· tried to make it as realistic
as we could for them." Mumme
said. ''It sounds ridiculous, but it
really was a lot of fun."
Nationally, Kentucky has the
reputation of being a "basketball
state," but Franklin, a native of
Princeton in western Kentucky,
says this is a "Wildcat state'' and
he's not surpnsed at the passion
UK'~ recent gridiron succes~ has
generated.
"I've always thought that,"
Franklin said. "If we were having a
bow-and-arrow coptcst against
Tennessee in the parking lot, people
would come."

has been busy practicing at the Mullins school for the
past month now. Two-a-day practices and earlySaturday morning scrimmages have made 70-plus
young men realize so much. The 70-plus young men
playing football means Pikeville College has the opportunity to begin an NAIA college football tradition at a
"chool that has been without football for so long.
The football talent ushered into the Pikeville
College football program for this inaugural season is a
good mix of all of the necessary ingredients for; a good
small college football team. Coach Willis and his staff
were able to go out and get the best available in-state
talent while getting the best available talent from out of
state.
"When we set out to recruit, we wanted to get the
best available in-state football players that \\e could
get." said Willis. ''The first priority in our recruiting is
to recrUit the in-state kids. The Pikeville community
and the surrounding communities have heen so gracious in welcoming this football program. No\\ it's our
tum to go out and get this football program on· to a successful stan."
Names that dot the 2000 Pikeville College football
roster mdicatc the talent is there. With hard work and
more and more team untt) showing with each practice.
the football Bears should make waves throughout the
2000 junior varsity club team season.
The time to step up is here and the Pikeville College
football team has the athletes to do just that.
Belfry graduate Jonathan Wright is one ptized in·
state rcc.:ruit Pikeville College was fortunate enough to
land. The strong·urmed Wtight (6 3. 235) had received
offers from NCAA power Marshall Univer~ity as well
as Kentuck) State.
Wright will sec plenty of time at quarterback for the
Rears, along with another athletic signal-caller who
hails from Tennessee. Scott Branton (6-4. 190) ti·om
Maryville, Tenn .. will he competing with Wright for
time under center. Both should see considerable time at
I he position throughout the junior varsity season.
1.1. Bailey (5-10. 240), a bowling ball of a running
back. has looked good in pre-season. The Pikeville
High School alum had quite a prep football career.
Prestonsburg's Adam Bailey (6 6. 270) will be a big
force on the offens1ve line for the Bears. Bailey will
start the Georgetown game at right offensive tackle.
The Prestonsburg native IS one of the most athletic lineman on the PC football roster. Bailey was a standout on
both the offensive and the defensive line at
Prestonsburg High School in the mid- to late 1990s.
Another former Blackcat, Hank Mulhns (5 7, 160),
will see time in the Pikeville College defensive secondary. Mulhns signed on with the Bears after graduating from Prestonsburg High this past year.
A JUnior varstty season gives Willis a lot of room for
substitutions and expenments. Pikeville College will
have one initial season of playing as a jumor 'arsity
club team before making the move to the NAJA's Mid
South Conferenc.:e.
The Georgetown College football team 1s currently
ranked number two in the most recent NAIA poll.
Taking on the jumor varsity squad of a team wirh '\uch
a high ranking team will definitely get the young
Pikeville College football program up and ready to
play.
Going out and defeating a number two ranked team ,
would bode even better.
"Opening up with Georgetown College's JV team is
a great way for us to get this thing 'tarted," said Willis.
"The \1id South Conference ts m my opimon the best
conference in NAIA footbaJI. so to open up with both
an ~AlA power and a Mid South Conference power
will definitely give our players a fcchng of how prcsti
gtous the Mid South Conference. We're just exc1ted
about getting started this season."
The Pikev11le College football program k1cks off the
inaugural 2000 junior vars1ty club season at 7 p.m.
Thursday at Rawlings Stadium against the Georgetown
Tigers. Dreams can come true. Thursda) continues a
dream become reality for everyone close to the nc\\ lv
formed Pikeville College football progmm.

STAFF WAITER
Retired teacher Barry Dean Martin of
Prestonsburg is an avid sportsman who had added
an extra niche to the sport - he models for sports
photographs for national sports writer Soc Clay.
If you happened to see the summer issue of the
sports magazine "Mid-Atlantic Sportsman," you
were greeted by Martin as he sets up a fishing
photo for Clay. Martin is shown catching a rainbow trout on the Cheat river in West Vrrginia.
Back in June 1993. Martin and his paddling
buddy Bobby Allen, also a retired teacher,
were shown on the cover of ''Ontario Out of
Doors." The eye-catching photo presents the
two canoeists in silhouette as they fly fish.
The nature of the photo makes it hard to
identify Martin and Allen. But both affirm
that the shot is. indeed. of them, as they
paddle on the lake. In the same issue,
Martin holds a nice trout for photographing
purposes.
In the July /August issue of "Heartland
USA.'' Martin is included with other
models to accompany a story about bird
hunting. with the birds taking center
stage and the models used to display the
birds in the most flattering poses.
Martin explains that after he retired,
he needed something to do other than
filing old family picture~ and doing
genealogical research. so he returned
to his favorite hobby. doing outdoor

While Wilma and I \\ere eating at a local fa:.t food restaurant
a while back. 1 picked up one of
those little cards that a~h customers to rate the service and

don't go hack.
An)'\\ ay, as I. for no particular

(ACA), the world's largest pri·
vate, non-profit organization for
professional
counselors.
"However, of all the challenges
facing teens. acne is one problem
that they can easily do something
about."
In order to help teens do some·
thing about it, the ACA is hosting
a web site on acne for teenagers
and their parents. Accessible at
www.counsel i ng. org/teenacne,
the site offers medically accurate
information about the causes of
acne, the "dos" and "don'ts" in
managing the cond1tton, and a
synopsis of available treatments.
Actress Lindsay Price, star of
TV's "Beverly Hills 90210,"
helped launch the site by having
an online chat session with teens
about acne, and how celebrity and
fashion help shape their selfimage.
"The Internet is the information medium of choice for
teenagers," says Ms. Ford, noting
that the number of teens online in
the U.S. is estimated at 9 million.
"They use the web to e-mail
friends, shop and do research for
school, so we felt it was the ideal
way to provide reliable information and reassurance about acne."
Seeking Medical Treatment
Acne develops when certain
hair follicles become clogged by
skin cells that block the openmg
of pores. A number of factors
beyond a teenager's control.
including age. heredity, hormonal
changes and stress, contribute to
the development of acne.
One piece of advice that the
site offers teenagers who are concerned about their acne is that
they should talk with their parents
about seeing a doctor. "The good
news is that doctors now have a
variety of effective medications
available to address the problem,"
said Sharon Levy, M.D., Director
of Medical Affairs and Clinical
Research
for

Are you under stress? Using
analytical deduction from problem
solving class. a situation is viewed
by who. what. where, when and
why. We have already decided who
is Stress. What is stress. an electrical impulse generated h) the body
as a response to a physical or emotional stimulus
It is now necessary to take on the
where and when of stress.
Where does stress happen? in
the brain, attached to the brain stem
is our limbic system. This system is
fully developed at birth and produces the horn1one that turns on our
stress response. Our stress re,ponse
is a triggered fight or flight mechanism.
The frontal cortex located at the
front of the brain attempts to send
messages to the limbic system to
communicate and control the pathways of our emotions. Our frontal
cortex is not fully developed until
we reach our 30s. l'he degree of
development is based on the environment and conditioning we
receive throughout our lives.
To get a clearer picture of someone, you must study human nature.
Human nature takes into consideration the man) contributing factors
that affect our lives.
When analyzing human nature
consider the environment, physical
and social emotional state, surrounding influences and personal
self-thinking. As humans we are the
ultimate animal, we possess the
ability to adjust to any situation
over time. Research continues to
discover elements that affect how
we react to any given condition.

tematic approach to dealing with
stress. but fir:-.t we must be aware of
what causes stress and how to
determtne if you are under stress.
C)ome main symptoms of negattve stress are fatigue, back prob·
lems, frequent headaches, weight
fluctuations and gastrointestinal
problems. Fatigue generally comes
from lack of sleep; your emotional
state can distract the bod)' from
resting. Back problems arise from
not getting enough exercise: an
example is working in an environment that restricts movement by sitting for long periods of time.
Gastrointestinal problems come
from stress cutting off the blood
now to the intestinal area.
It is not uncommon to experience stress when your life has been
hit with major events, such as personal crisis. job stress. difficult agerelated transitions. jury duty and
exposure to traffic.

Q: I've asked my boss if I could
telecommute instead of coming into
the oftice, but she\ a little hesitant.
\Vhar does telecommuting involve and
what are the benefit<> to the employer
and the employee?
A: Telecommuting i!> the act of
working at a remote location. usually
at home. rather than tr.iVeling to and
from an office. lbe number of
telecommuters in the U.S. rose to 15.7
million as of mid-year 1998. according
to research conducted by Cyber
Dialogue. a New York based research
and consulting linn.
Telecommuting w;to; defined in the
research as working at home tor an
outside employer during nom1al busi·
ness hours a minimum of one day per
month or more. Full-time employees
who telecommute now total 7.4 million workers. These employees work
an average of 18 hours per week at
home, or about 2.5 chtys per week.
Almost half are employed by small
businesses with less than I 00 employees, while 1.8 million (24 percenO
work for large companies with 1,000
or more employee,.
Major findings of an lntemational
Telework Association & Council
research study conducted in 1999 indicated that a minimum of $10,000
could be realized per telecommuter
per year from recruitment and retenion
costs. reduced absenteeism. and
increased productivity of those
telecommuting only one day per Wl'ek.
llte ~urvey also found U.S. telecommuters no\\ numher 19.61ntllion or 10
percent of the adult population
The numhcr ol telet·ommuters
should continue lo accclentte rapidly
due to increasing alfotdability and.
most importantly, vastl) improving
communication technologies.
From an organizational standpoint,
telecommutinf should be justified if
the costs are balanced by the benefits.
If the bcnetits exceed the costs,
telecommuting should be actively promoted. A \\ell-run telecommuting program should be at worst a break-even:
that is. the telecommuters should do
the same amount of work, at least as
well. as in the oftice.
ln almost all cases; thoug~ their
results are significanlly better.
Several bencfi~ derived from the
employee's perspective tnclude
increased personal productivi!.) due to
more work per hour. reduced commut·
ing time. better quality of personal life,
improved personal productivity due to
more work hours, better quality of
work lite. flexible work hours, and
reduced costs of commuting.
Certain costs mcurred while
telecommuting may be deductible for
tax purposes such as unreimbursed
employee business expenses and the
home oflice deduction. However. the
home office deduction for an emplO)·
ee is pcnnitted only in very limited sit·
uations and you should consult your
CPA for further guidance.
S~.:vcral benefit, derived from the
employer's perspective include
increased employee productivity,
increased employee morale, decreased
occupancy rates, increased employee
retention, higher customer satisfaction.
easier employee recruitment, better
corporJte image and better communication between managers and workers.
Man) companies are reluctant to
adopt the nc:-.iblc working arrangemcnb. inherent \\ ith telecommuting.
The underlying problem is probably
most people are not aware of with
stress is blood fat. Stre-.s sets off
hormones in the body to release
blood fat. Blood fat is the extra fat
dumped into the body for energy.
When your body feels the need to
defend itself, blood fat provides the
additional energy required to deal
with the fight or flight response.
Stress puts the body through
more than an emotional roller
coa!>ter. Handling stress is significant to your overall health and well ~
being. Take a look at your em ironment and make it more system
friendly~ put up that basketball goal,
punching bag or dartboard.
Exercise your right to physical and
emotional control.

EARTH NEWS
Global warming
simplified
(NAPS)-Recently. there havebeen many predictions about how
wann the earth could get and the
resulting impacts that could occur.
Many people may warm to a scienttfic explanation of the issue of
global warming.
According to experts, the ~om
puter models on which most global wamung predictions arc based
are neither ac: accurate nor as thMough as they have to be in order to
make predictions. Many of our
ideas about global warming come
from programs called General
Circulation M<Xlels (GCMs).
TI~ese don't alwavs sunulatc what
is actually measured, however,
such as the luck of mid-atmosphere warming and small-scale
processes that cannot be includcd
in such models but that may he
cumulatively important.
A greater understanding may
come from the scienti~ts at the
Annapolis Center, who recently
released a report about global
wanning and computer models.
The researchers agreed glnl;lal eli·
mate models mav never be able to
accurately '·predict" greenhouserelated change because nature
itself is so complex that utodeling
with sutlicicnt accu1.1cy may be
impossible.
OF FooTBAJJ.AND Ft.YING
Overall. the participants in the
report concluded thc current state
of understanding greenhou:.e
\Htrming using GCMs 1s like trying to understand a football grune
from a plane at 30.000 feet. You
may be ahle to see the offensive
and defensive lines and the movemen~ of players up and down the
1idd, but you probably won't be
able to figure out the individual
plays.
'Dle repl)rt also considers such
issues .ts wh) the lower atrnospherc appears to have been warming for several centuries; whether
human activities arc the reason or
is the wanning due to a natural
progression or a combination of
both; and ho\v warm will it get and

THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER
Survey reveals Americans can't leave work behind
(NAPS)-lf you feet like you
can't get a break from work, you're
not alone. A whopping ninety six
percent of Americans check in with
their offices several times during
their vacations. according to a
national consumer survt!y commissioned by Jameson Irish Whiskey
and wnducted by Beta One
Research. Farmington, CT.
"Electronic leashes" such as
beepers and cell phones have made
it next to impossible to sever ties
with the office. The survev
revealed that while trying to vacation. 70 percent of Americans
receive phone calls from their
offices.
Considering how difficult it is to
break free from the demands of
today's workplace, it's no surprise
that the survey found only 5 percent of Americans are able to relax
as soon as their vacation starts.
Nearly 60 percent reported that it
takes them between I and 2 weeks
to relax and by then it's time to
head back.
The survey also noted a growing
trend toward abbreviated vacations
such as extended weekends or
quick getaways. As a result. travelers are cramming their itineraries
and arc rising early to take advantage of time away from the office.
The survey concluded that a mere
19 percent of Americ.ans sleep late
while on vacation.
According to Robert R.
Butterworth. Ph.D .• International
Trauma Associates. a psychologist
who has spent 20 years counseling

Dr. Butterworth offers these tips
to ensure a relaxed vacation:

• Delegate specific tasks to
specific people. Make sure they all
know their responsibilities.
• Assign a trusted person to
handle all crisis and emergency
matters.
• Designate one primary con-
tact with the office so that you are
not making and receiving calls
from an entire staff.
• Do not broadcast your vacation number to the entire staff if
you do not want to be disturbed on
mundane matter".
•
• Creatt' a specific time when
you wm be available for emergencies and stick to it. (i.e. you 'II take

3, 2000 A3
Frankfort - The Executive
Mansion the Governor and First
Lady hosted more than 250 advocates for mental health, mental
retardation and substance abuse
services at an event Friday to celebrate the successes of the 2000
General Assembly in addressing
these critical areas.
Gov. Patton shared with the
advocates his experience of visiting a stale facility. which treats
persons with mental disabilities.
''My experience at the hospital
that day reminded me that we create disability by our constant focus
on what makes us different. The
day we begin to understand mental
disability as simply another part of
the human condition. not to be
judged but to be accepted. on that
day the stigma of mental illness
and mental retardation will be no
more,'' Gov. Patton said to great
applause.
The successful legislation celebrated by the crowd includes the
passage of legislation for parity in
insurance coverage for mental
health and substance services.
Kentucky is the 30th state in the
nation to pass mental health parity
and the fifth state to pass substance
abuse parity.
Other celebrated legislation
included a biiJ developing a I 0year plan for the improved delivery
of mental health and substance
abuse services and legislation to
improve the delivery of services
and supports to persons with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities.
More than $50 million was
funded by the General Assembly.
for usage during this bienntum for
expanded community-based services for persons with mental retardation.
Prior to this year.
Kentucky ranked 50th in the nation
in per capita !'>pending for individuals with mental aretardation.
Mrs. Patton spoke to the group
about her area of emphasis as First
Lady, tying the impact of victimization to the importance of accessible mental health care.
"When you listen to the stories
of women and children who have
been harmed by violence or abuse,
there is one notable similarity. The
effects of maltreatment and violence do not go away when the
bruises or physical pain heal," said
Mrs. Patton. ''When we value the
mental health of women and children as much as we value their
physical health, we can stop the
pain of a lifetime.''
To highlight their support of
adequate mental health care and
the needs of women, the governor
took the opportunity in the presence of the advocates to sign an
bxecuttve Order creating the
Office of Women's Physical and
Mental Health.

Widespread
computer, Web
access crucial
It is a measure of how rapidly American life is changing
that even in largely rural Kentucky, nearly 80 percent of the
population bas access somewhere to the Internet.
The Kentucky Long-Term Policy Research Center, in
analyzing its latest survey of Internet usage, noted that "for
the first time in the state's history, a majority of Kentucky
adults have access to a computer at home.''
For a state that often finds itself lagging economic
change, that is good news.
The policy center's comment on the results makes clear
why:
"Because access to and use of information technology are
fast becoming preconditions for social integration, political
awareness and economic success, the rate of use in
Kentucky will likely be central to our future.''
In short, were our state being left behind as information
technology evolves at breakneck speed, we would be logging yet another major barrier to the economic and social
progress of our citizens.
But this silver lining comes enshrouded in a significant
cloud.
While the state as a whole may be holding its own, too
many residents are in grave danger of being left behind. The
"digital divide" is even widening between white and black
Kentuckians.
In fairness, the divide is actually narrowing in some
demographic comparisons. Economic and education factors
tended to have somewhat less impact in 1998 - the latest
year for which full data were analyzed- than in 1993.
Still, affluent Kentuckians are 2.7 times more likely to
have home computer access than the poorest quarter of the
population. And the more affluent are nearly three times as
likely to use the Internet or other network services as the
poorest.
The good news, again, is that the most affluent were eight
times as likely to have access to a home computer just five
years earlier. Similar progress has been made for less-educated or geographically more-isolated groups.
But the gap remains troubling.
This is about far more, of course, than being able to check
out a nifty Web site in the evening. As the center's report
asserts:
"The people who are most vulnerable in today's economy
- the least educated - are far less inclined to own personal computers or access the Internet, which would enable
them to acquire some of the skills demanded in higher-paying jobs."
The need to close these gaps is just as crucial - and
maybe more crucial - than such challenges as bringing
electricity or paved roads to rural areas were two generations
ago. We have struggled to meet those challenges in the past.
We must not fail to meet this one.

Thanks paper for help with medals
Editor
This is concerning a letter I had written in The Floyd
County Tunes in April about my grandfather, John P.
Bentley Sr. I had asked for help in honoring him by having his medals awarded to him.
1 have just received a letter authorizing the issuance
of his awards and at this time l would like to express my
deepest gratitude to you for your part in helping me to
honor this wonderful man.
Thank you doesn't seem to be enough. It makes me
proud to know that my grandfather's and all veterans'
service and sacrifices were not in vain. That through this
space and time in their lives they stood up for their freedom as well as our freedom now.
I am proud that this country still produces good,
decent, patriotic men and women like yourselves, that
know how to get things done when called upon to do so.
I would like to enclose a special thank you to Senior
Editor Pam Shingler of The Floyd County Tunes for her
encourdging words and support.
From my heart, I thank you and ask that God pour
out his blessings upon you.

Shifting, revolving platforms
Here's a platform statement that Democrats could
have cheered at their party's national convention:
"The work of popular education is one left to the care
of the several states, but it is the duty of the national
government to aid that work to the extent of its constitutional power.''
Sounds like a pronouncement from the Los
Angeles convention. but it isn't. It's from the
Republican platform- of 1880.
Glancing back at past convention and party platforms turns up surprises. It also illustrates how the
two parties' positions and public personas have not
always been in the past what they are today.
·In 2000, for example, Democrats trumpet that
theirs is the party of genuine inclusion, of resolute
opposition to racism. But peruse the Democratic platform of 1884, and you'll find certain passages reeking with prejudice. The section on Chinese immigration baldly stated: "We ... do not sanction the importation of foreign labor, or the admission of servile
races, unfitted by habits, training, religion or kindred,
for absorption into the great body of our people, or
for the citizenship which our laws confer." (The
Republicans also supported restrictions on the importation of Chinese laborers. although their language
was slightly less odious by today's standards.)
Another example of tune changing can be found in
the Democratic platform of 1892. In contrast to
Democrats' current enthusiasm for federal action, in
1892 the party lamented that "the tendency to centralize all power at the federal capital has become a
menace to the reserved rights of the states that strikes
at the very roots of our government under the
Constitution."
As for Republicans, while some GOP elements
reflect a Jesse Helms-style suspicion of the United
Nations and international treaties, in 1928, the party's
platform took a far more idealistic stance. It called for
an international treaty renouncing the use of war a feeble instrument, it turned out, for deterring
German. Italian and Japanese aggression in the '30s.
Notable, too, is how issues that are in the news
today were also lively topics for debate in bygone
eras. In 1908, the Democratic platform stoutly called
for campaign finance reform A federal ban on corporate contributions to political campaigns was vital,
the platform argued, because the "contribution of
great sums of money" to the GOP had allowed corporations "to continue substantially unmolested in
their efforts to encroach upon the rights of the people." Republicans, fearful of the campaign finance
issue, responded by also supporting the ban.
The two parties' personas may seem cast in stone
today, but if the past is any guide, over the next century the Democratic and Republican parties may well
evolve into new and surprising forms. Consider: In
the party platforms of 2100, what will be the great
issues for national debate? Genetic engineering?
Some new and terrible form of weaponry? Civil
rights demands by robots? Negotiating the terms of a
world government? Regulation of interplanetary travel?
Preposterous questions, perhaps. But only as
absurd as the notions of nuclear weapons and the
Internet would have seemed in the year 1900.

Crazy
Americans
If you've ever thought the voting
public doesn't make a lot of sense, there
is evidence that you're right.
Back in July, National Public Radio,
the Kaiser Family Foundation and
Harvard's
Kennedy
School
of
Government released the results of an
exhaustive poll about attitudes toward
government, and what they found just
didn't add up.
For one thing, the poll found that the
majority of Americans do not trust government as a whole or the politicians
who run it. This isn't surprising. Even if
we do not feel that way ourselves, we
know that politicians are the butt of
jokes about as often as lawyers. And
we're all familiar with the whole government-bashing attitude which runs
rampant from water cooler conversations to late night talk show monologues. Even incumbent politicians criticize government.
But here's the kicker most
Americans also want their government
to do more.
That's reminiscent of the old joke
about the lady complaining about the
meal she was served at a restaurant. She
found it to be too cold, too greasy, too
salty, and just horrible tasting. And to
top it off, the portions were too small.
StiiJ, while it might seem a paradox
for people to want more service from an
entity they think is wholly flawed, the
results may be explained as the result of
generalizations.
When the words "government" and
''politician" are uttered, most people
automatically have a negative reaction.
"Politics" has become a dirty word of
sorts.
Whenever something doesn't go our
way, we chalk it up to politics. When
some government program turns out to
be ineffective or some public official is
accused of improprieties, we call it politics as usual. If we don't get a job or a
promotion, it's because the process was
political.
But turn it around and start asking
people about the actual functions of
government and they'll either have positive responses, or their negative
responses will be along the lines of "the
government isn't doing enough."
For instance. who has ever asked for
less police or fire protection, fewer
roads or water lines, or less action to
clean up air and water pollution? Who is
against immunizations, meat inspections, protection in times of foreign conflict, interstate highways, schools, automobile safety or economic development?
So, in actuality. it appears that while
we love lhe things government does, we
just don't like the idea of government.
Of course. there is one paradox
which doesn't disappear. While we all
want those things which government
does, there's also one more thing we
want from our leaders - a tax break.

Millard Fillmore, created a stir by Installing

Kentucky unemployment falls to 3.7 percent in July
t
FRANKFORT
Kentucky's
unemploymclll dropped to 3.7 percent in July from four percent in
June.
Kentucky's July jobless rate was
below the 4.4 percent recorded for
July 1999, according to the
Department
for
Employment
Services, a Cabinet for Workforce
Development agency. The U.S. jobless rate remained at 4.2 percent
from June to July.
"This was the 14th consecutive
year that the Kentucky unemployment rate declined from June to
July;· said Carlos Cracraft, the
department's chief labor market
analyst. "It was also the lowest jobJess rate recorded in Kentucky for
July in 31 years.''
The construction sector had a job
increase of 800 in July. Special
trade categories such as electricians,
drywallers, brick masons, and heating and cooling contractors
accounted for 700 of those new
positions. The construction sector
has added 2,100 jobs since July
1999, Cracraft said.
The mining and quarrying category remained at 20,900 positions
from June to July.
The government sector reported
the largest net loss of any sector in
July with 16,700 fewer jobs.
"There was a loss of 19,800 state
and local education jobs in July as
schools across Kentucky closed for
the summer break. Those workers
were hourly employees such as bus
drivers, cafeteria workers and custodians who will be back on the payrolls when school begins," Cracraft
said. "Even though there was a gain
in some federal government areas,
the seasonal losses in education far
out numbered them.''
The trade sector had a decline in
jobs of I ,800 in July. Employment
in eating and drinking establishments dropped by 2,000 and build-
ing materials and garden supply
stores fell 300 jobs.
There were some gains in automotive dealership jobs and apparel
and accessory stores positions.
Manufacturing sector jobs fell by
1,500 in July. primarily because of
seasonal plant shutdowns. ''Many
of these declines were result of factories that routinely shut down for a
week or two in the summer for
vacation. Other companie~ close
temporarily in the summer to
upgrade, retool equipment or make
yearly product changes," said
Cracraft.

September Is Food Safety Education Month
FRANKFORT - Gov. Paul E.
Patton has proclaimed the month of
September as Food Safety
Education Month in Kentucky.
The Cabinet for Health
Serv.ices' Food Safety Branch, in
cooperation with local health
departments,
the
Kentucky
Restaurant
Association,
the
Kentucky Grocers Association, the
Food and Drug Administration, the
U.S. Department of Agriculture and
the International Food Safety
Council, is taking part in the observance of Food Safety Education
Month in Kentucky.
These groups are committed to
heightening awareness of food
safety education and support this
important food safety initiative.
The month-long observance focuses attention on the importance of
safe food handling and preparation.
This year's theme is "Be SmartKeep Foods Apart" - preventing
cross contamination between foods.
According to recent consumer
decrease of I ,300 jobs in July as
planting season came to an end, said
Cracraft.
The transportation, communications and public utilities sector fell
by 400 positions in July. Finance,
insurance and real estate had a 200job decrease in July.
The services sector also showed
a decrease of 200 positions in July.
"Seasonal losses occurred in areas
such as agricultural services, educational and social services, amusement and recreation services, and
personal and membership organizations.
On the other side, business services added I ,300 jobs in July.
Hiring of recently graduated physicians, therapists, nurses and technicians boosted the health services
area by 300 positions in July,"
Cracraft said. "The services sector
reported more growth than any
other Kentucky industry over the
past year with 16,500 additional
jobs since last July.''
The U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics monthly estimate of the
number of employed Kentuckians
for July 2000 was 1,949,647. This
figure is up 4,664 from the
PUBLIC AUCTION
sionals as well as communicating
the importance of food safety to the
public.
For example. one of the most
important and easiest ways to prevent the spread of illness through
food is by washing your hands
before preparing food. Another way
to avoid illness is to read the labels
on fresh meat and poultry. The
processors tell you on the package
how to protect yourself and your
family by preparing and cooking
meats properly.
Also this month the Food Safety
Branch and the FDA will be hosting
a regional Food Safety Summit in
Louisville September 6-8 at the
Galt House. The agenda includes
speakers and sessions relating to
food safety issues.

research, Americans are more concerned about food safety today than
ever before. Adding to their concern is heightened media coverage
that focuses on outbreaks of foodborne illness.
"Fortunately, most foodborne
illness can be easily prevented by
preparing and handling food properly both in food establishments
and in the home," said Guy Delius,
manager of the Food Safety
Branch. "We certainly wish to take
advantage of such a opportune time
to further promote the importance
of having safe food in this
Commonwealth and to heighten the
public awareness of just how
important it is for all of us to have
well trained food workers and a
safe food supply."
During September, state and
local health departments, food service establishments and retail markets will be participating by conducting training activities for
restaurant and food industry profes-

Those Volleycats arc at it once again.
The Vollcycats remained undefeated this pa-;t
Thursday w1th a rout of the visiting l\1 illard

Sl'Onng for the l\hl\tangs was vtrtually out of the

Stephanie Adams got the Prestonsburg scoring

the Volleycat attack with three points of her own.
Millard would get it:. lone .;core from Jessica
Els\\ick. The Millard Mustang got off a successful
serve to lift her team's emotion for a 'Piit-second
before Prestom,burg would go back to work.
Cheresh Shepherd did a very good job serving the

before seemg her team misplay a ball, giving Millard
the ball with the Mustangs trailing 14-1.
Senior Stephanie Adam~ put the game away with a
strong serve past the Millard interior.
Game two was a replay of game one, the only
exception being Millard posted one more point than
they did in the first game. Every Prestonsburg starter
would score in game two, something the Volleycats
failed to do in game one.

The Allen Central
volleyball team
seems to be playing
better volleyball with
each game that
passes.
Damron a quality performer
Sheldon Clark·.., Kendrick Damron is
one of the better football players in our
area. Sheldon Cl~rk Coach Jim Matney
has a real jewel in Damron. The speedy
Damron (6-1, 165) can run and throw
the football.
The quarterback w<•s good last year
as a junior, but he's c1.en better this
year as a senior. Kendrick Damron is
one of the most athletic football players
in eastern Kentucky.
Grade school volleyball gets
started this week
Grade school volleyball players will
take to the net this week, as Floyd
County teams open up play against each
other.
It's too bad some of the other surrounding counties don't start volleyball
progmms in the lo\\cr grade levels.
Why hasn't Johnson County or
Lawrence Count) started volleyball
program:-'! Honc ..tly. I couldn't tell you.
Paintsville, a small Class A school in
Johnson County. ofl'er" 'olleyball, but
we still have 3A and 4A ..chools in the
area that do not oflcr \ olleyball to their
girls.
If any sehoul admimstrntors, board
members ur site-based council members
of school thut don't offer volleyball are
reading this. please con..,ider adding the
sport to ym1r athletic programs.
A MS Cheerleaders k eep crowd
fired up
Preston-..burg quarttrback Austin Clark lloated a
hall over the middle of the licld ~nd wus intcn:cpted
hy oppo...ing quarterback Kendrick J>~unlllll.
A Sheldon Clark fumble gaH the hall hack to the
Blackcats, hut they could do \cl) Iulie w1th the
opportunit) as Cl.ut \\ould fumble the b.tll hack to
the Canlinals.
The Cardinals proceeded to p1ck the Prcston-..burg
defense apart. Mo Spradlin soon broke free and ron
the ball all the \\a) dm\11 to tht.' I yard line. Damron
kept on a quarterback keeper to M:ore the touchdo" n. Ben Delong carried 111 the conversiOn to make
it a 16-0 game wnh pia) '>till in the Jirst quarter.
Delong got bu ...y ag:un \\hen he ;;con..>d on a 9-yanl
run The t\\o-point comcrs1on pass tl)' tailed.
Austin Clark went back to work deep m his O\\n
end zone late in the second lJUarter only to be :.acked
Prestonsburg offense·str.~ggles
Much of Kentucky's recent recruiting has focu~cd hea\ ily on receivers.
Three of Kcntuck) \ c1ght 2001 commitments arc rccei \ crs.
Although t\\o of the recruits, Harry
Lewis of Mason County and Lance
Rhodes of Hoover (Ala.) High. are
quarterbacks for their high school
teams, both wen.• recruited as wide
receivers.
I like the passing game. It keeps
defenses. coaches, referees nnd fans on
their toes. Putting the hall in the air is
good for the game.
Good work. Hal. Keep it up!
The Allen Central \ ollcyball team
mndc the lt>ng trip to Phelps thi-.. pa-..t
1 hur~day to take on the Phelps 1-furnets.
1 he Rebels were coming off a disappointing los~ to Prestonsburg the night
before
Allen Central \\astcd little time in the
firsr contest. Following a Phelps score
ofl n sen e. the Rebeb took the ball over.
Amanda Potter got the Rebels started
\\llh her first sene. and served up seven
straight scorl'S. The Allen Central interior.,, a~ solid ~~~ the net play was domina!·'
t'd hy the Rebels.
A hall sen cd out of bounds allowed
the Phclpo; Hornet<; the chance to post
three more scores to pu II wtthtn three ut
7-4.
Pl.1y \ ollcyed hack and worth until
Potter's turn to !';Cf\C came back around.
The Rebels once again set the pace and
set the tone as :.he put the Rebel::. up 144 Ill the blmk of nn eye.
Phelps made a mild rnlly attempt
before falling short 15-7.
Several intungiblcs go into a football
game. The marching hands are normally
a sure charge for the fans We can't
overlook the playe1s themselves.
Without the players, we wouldn't have
a game at all. The cheerleaders also
play a vef) important role in a game.

Pikeville-Paintsville
showdown is definitely a game

We need area teams to
develop more rivalries
with Virginia and l\'est
Virginia schools
Wh) don't area schools travel
to Vtrginia and We"t \ irginia to
play schools in those state),? It
would he good for the all of tht'
states. not to mention the fact that
it would be very beneficial to the
schools.
~1atewan , Willi,mtson, Tug
Vnlley. Spring Valley and Grundy
are high .,chools in bordering
states that would present formidable challenges to schools in our
area. Feed from this school system. let's build some rivalries
among schools from bordering
states.
Sheldon Clark and Lawrence
County have begun doing this,
and its made for some very interesting matchups. It's a win-win
situation.
Academics just as
important as athletics
Don't get me wrong. I don't
want to beat an already dead
horse, but one area coach I came
in contact with recently still
doesn't take into consideration
that academics are just as important as athletic~.
Please remember while reading this that this particular incident didn't happen in Ployd
County. but a neighboring county
just to the north of Floyd County.
If a football player is on the
academic team. or if he is
involved with some other academic-oriented activity. don't punish him for it. just because he has
to miss practice.
In the case I was subjected to
the players just missed 30-45
minutes of a two-hour practice
Seemingly punishing a player by
not allowing him to show what he
can do when he does get practice,
just because he had a manadatory
acadeimic team practice, is
ridiculous. As a matter of fact it
disgusts me.
The high school coach in that
school sy~tem doesn't punish
players who are involved in
another sport, so why should a
coach on the lower level punish
players'!
This particular team played its
first game. and those players also
on the academic team didn't get
in for the first play. Think about

Monday night, and \\as tmpres-

some nice holes. and that
allowed the running game to produce big-time.
It looked as if the team was
getting winded late in the first
half. but the brown and gold
came back out strong in the second half. After leading 14-0, it
fell behind 16-14 before a score
with four minutes to play won

But the result wa~ an afterthought. The excitement was in
the game itself. Finally, after 33

Prestonsburg Volleycats defeat South Floyd in straight sets
by STEVE LeMASTER
SPORTS WRITER
The Prestonsburg Vollcycats
squared otT with the South floyd this
past Monday. Wheelwright would feature quite a varsity game between the
two, the second contest being much
more competitive thru1 the first.
Senior Stephanie Adams got the vis-
iting Volleycats started with the opening
serve of the game. Adams served the
Pre!itonsbwg girls to I I sttaight tallies
before losing the ball back to South
Aoyd.
South Floyd took over with the lone
senior on the South Floyd roster,
Minnie Tackett, getting her team on the
scoreboard with a strong serve past the
Prestonsburg contingent.
However, the South Floyd rally was
struck down almost as soon as it got
struted. Prestonsburg's Chrissy Nelson
scored point nwnber 12 off a strong
serve.
Following a Prestonsburg turnover
South Floyd briefly recovered, scoring
their second point of the game. On
another scoring attempt the Raiders
turned the ball over, leaving
Blackcats
• Continued from p1
as he attempted u puss Sheldon
Clark's John Dials was the first man
on Clark. The safety forced the
Blackcats to kick the ball back off to
the Cardinals.
It seemed as if Sheldon Clark
scored on every drive, but the
Blackcat defense did have some
stands in the game. TI1e Sheldon Clark
offensive attack just proved to be way
too much for the young and inexperienced Prestonsburg defense.
Damron found Parsons for another
touchdown strike late in the first half
of play. The Parsons score put
Sheldon Clark up 30-0. The extra
point kick attempt by Ben Delong
failed.
The Blackcats went into halftime
with their heads down following the
Sheldon Clark football showcase.
When it rains, it pours. Sheldon
Clark received the football to begin
the second half. The Cardinals continued to run it up the gut with Porter.
Spradlin and Delong. Chad Howell
also continued to run good the good
routes.
Mo Spradlin soon broke free for a
----~
40-yard touchdown. A Chad Howell
two-point conversion put the
Cardinals up 38-0. A 38-poinl lead
signaled the end of the day for many
of Coach Jim Matney's starters.
Austin Clark hoped to lead his
offensive unit to a score. The
Prestonsburg junior was banged up on
another safety in the endzone. Greg
Maynard recorded the second safety
of the game for the Cardinals.
The Prestonsburg quarterback
seemed shaky at best throughout the
entire game. Tite hard hit put him on
the sideline for a series.
Sophomore Joey Willis came on to
replace Clark. The Prestonsburg
sophomore handled the Blackcat
offense well, but failed to get anything
significant going.
Sheldon Clark freshman Nathan
Moore carne on at quarterback.
replacing Damron. The Sheldon Clark
freshman led the Cardinals on a scoring drive. Xavier Manning ran the
football in from 6 yards out to cap off
a 46-0 Sheldon Clark rout of
Prestonsburg.

tallies were more than enough to
put the Mustangs away.
Meagan Hyden came off the
Prestonsburg bench, and a'"o had
great game. Hyden took over the
serve with her team up 10-2. The
junior volleyball player then
served up points 11-15, giving
the Volleycats the win and keeping the Russell Sherpherd's veteran team undefeated on the season.

he's done an admirable job,'' Belfry
principal Rod Varney said. ''He's
familiar with our school system.
he ·s familiar with our young ladies,
and we feel like he'll step right in
and we won' t miss a beat. We're
:sure he' II do a fine job."
A date to circle on the basketball
calendar wtll be February 15, when
the Allen Central Lady Rebels will

dnving the car, and I think we
did the job backing 111m."

sure he had the same attitude about practice that Waltrip
did. But Brastol Is a penlous place, and 1n practice, drivers

Dear NASCAR This Week,
Where has all the racing gone?
The top two in the points standings nrc making it hard to watch
racing. Someone asked me why
Dale Jarrett hasn't won but one
race. It's simple. He doesn't race to
win ... I hate to say it, but now
Bobby Labonte is doing the same
thing. l know he won the Brickyard
400. but that was because his car
was so superior to the rest of the
field (that pass on Rusty Wallace
was a ~afe one).
The only way either of them will
win is if they are dominant. If six
cars out there were evenly matched,
neither of them would win because
I hey would settle for a top six just
so there wouldn't be a chance of an
accident. I understand completely
that they want the championship,
but let's see them race hard for it.
That's why they need to give more
points for winning a race.
You never saw Jeff Gordon riding
around JUSt to get the points; be
always tried to win.
Or better yet, you never saw Dale
Earnhardt move out of someone's
wuy en route to his seven champion-.hips.

Maxwell Takes
First BASS Title
I
t has taken more than nine years, but Carl Maxfield
finally won a BASS event Saturday, wrapping up the
$431,000 BASSMA<;TER .Maryland Top 150 on the
Potomac Riwr.
The South Carolina pro has been close several times in
the past. Last s<.•ason alone, he lost a sudden-death fish·
off in a BASSMASTER Invitational after tying for the lead
at the end of regulation and led the
prestigious BASS Masters Classic the
first day before falling back.
"I've been real close. One ounce out
of first going into the last day. I've led
MegaBucks. I've Jed the Classic. Been
second at an invitational. Been real
close a bunch of times, n said Maxfield
after accepting the $110.000 top prize.
WI know I'm not Denny Brauer or
Kevin VanDam. I'm not one of the
Tim
superstars. If I was playing golf, I
guess you would call me a grinde~. I'm
there evt:ry tournament, but most of
the time when ther hand those checks
Notebook out,
I'm going to get one."
Maxfield left no doubt about his
Potomac victory. topping Veteran Missouri pro Rick
Clunn by more than 5 pounds. He entered the final
round with a 51/:-pound lead and proceeded to bring a
17-pound, 3-ounce five-bass limit to the scales on
Saturday (for a four-day total of 64-3).
ln the final round, Maxfidd shared his most productive
area in the back of Mattawoman Creek with Clunn and
third-place finisher Skeet Reese of California (50-6). It
was an example of professional courtesy that ultimately
worked in everyone's favor as Clunn caught 17-11 and
Reese boated 13-12.
.Maxfield's key area was a "hydrilla wall'' - a mixture
of hydrilla and eelgrass on a steep sloping bank that
dropped from 3 to 8 feet into the creek channel. Having
fished this same area for several years. Maxfield was able
to work every subtle contour in the grassline.
His success came on a 4·inch Gambler tube (black with
red flake) and a prototype 7rMan TuffTube {green
pumpkinseed) rigged on a Jft6-ounce jighead.
Nearby, Clunn worked a patch of eelgrass on the
outside swing of a creek channel with a Norman Baby N
crankbait to get a quick limit each morning before
slowing down with a dark-colored 4-inch Luck 'E' Strike
worm. Farther upriver, he targeted deeper pilings with a
Poe's 300 crankbait.
Michigan's Kevin VanDam fini:shed fourth with 5().3,
followed by Michaellaconelli of New Jersey with 48-11.

ith two events under its belt and three
more scheduled for this summer, the
Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse
World Championship Fishing bass and
boating circuit has been labeled a success
by those involved.
It has attracted large. enthusiastic crowds and made
believers of the 16 pros who are participating in the
invitation-only, made-for-television
competitions.
The BASS-sanctioned WCF is unlike
anything else in professional fishing. The
bass pros fish a half-day on three different
lakes- the results of which account for 60
percent of their overall score. In the
~)
afternoons. each pro puts his bass boat
through its paces on a timed course for the
other 40 percent of his score.
It is the racing or boat handling portion of
the WCF that has created controversy in the
fishing and boating worlds. Although the
American Power Boating Association has
declared it a safe event, WCF detractors
believe that going fast in bass boats will
severely damage the future of tournament
angling.
Ron Shuffield is not one of those folks.
The Arkansas pro, already highly suc·
cessful on the BASS fishing circuits, won the
inaugural (and only) WCF boating contest
last summer and has done well early this
season. He sees nothing but positives
emerging from the WCR
~r think it's just another avenue to get the
spectators involved in our sport," Shuffield
said. "You know, we're still out here
searching for some way to get greater
spectator involvement in fishing, and the
performance boat part of it just brings in
something more exciting for the spectators
to watch.
"let's face it, standing on the shoreline
and watching other guys fish around a
course is not very exciting for the most part. I mean,
there's a lot more time spent watching than there is
actually seeing someone catch something. But in the
performance boating part of it, you get to see action
going on all the time. Somebody is constantly running
the course.
"It's mixing the best of both worlds together. The
people can be there in time to watch the weigh-in. They
can go to their favorite lake and watch us fish during the
course of the day, and then come back and watch us run
our boats that afternoon."

Eon Reel Grabs Spotlight
t the recent Ameril·an
Sportftshing Association
trade show, one ilt'm received
more attention than any other. In
fact, it received the "Best of tht•
Best" award ior new products.
It was Abu Garda's Eon
baitcasting reel, constructt•d with
several patented and patent·
pending components. It's unlike
any other reel on the market.
TI1e uniquent•ss begins with its
basic design. 'l11e Eon is a hybrid
design that is ullr<ll'omfortable in
the palm of your hand. But tlw big
news with the Eon is its remarkably
simple and effective gear system,
which is truly revolutionary.
The gearl', which are cut from
solid brass. arc said to provide
more power than any baitcastcr on
A
tlte market. With traditional
reels. the crank arm is
offset from the spool and
connected by a smaller
gear. Eon's planetary
gears work around a
central
axis
much
like
the
planets orbit
the sun. This
arrangement ensures that the
power remains in the center where
il is said to be transmitted three
times more efficiently than with
other gear systems.
And with a retail price of around
$99. the Eon is even more of a
winner.

So far

This weekend, parks, schools,
churches and community centers
across the area are bustling with school
alumni, former residents and far-flung
., families.
Parking lots arc full of cars with
license plates denoting Ohio. Indiana.
Michigan. lllinois nnd, increasingly. as
opportunity patterns shift, Georgia and
North Carolina.
Apropos of Labor Day, it wao; labor
-or the lack thereof- that forced so
many local people to leave the urea.
Dayton, Detroit, Indianapolis and
many more northern cities had sections
- a city within a city - known surreptitiously if not blatantly as "Little
Kentucky." a place where people different from the mainstream could be
themselves without fear of ridicule.
•
Whatever they endured. the opportunity to do honest labor was a good
enough trade off. "Call me a brierhopper, just give me a chance to cam a living.''
At first, they came back home at
least once a month, in some cases
every weekend. The lure of the hills.
like implanted h9ming devices, drew
them.
Then they had a family, managed to
:;ave enough money for a do\\n pa)ment on a tract house. and the trips
were less frequent. Their children grew
up as Buckeyes or Hoosters or whatever name fit the place. Turkey Creek or
• Buck's Branch or Hippo or Toler were
occasional, not always pleasant, diversions to the youngsters.
But for the natives, the allure is
never quite stilled. Suhsctiptions to the
Times, for instance, go all over the
country. from Washington State to
Florida. Some of the readers have lived
and worked elsewhere for 50 years or
more, far longer than they lived here.
Yet, something compels them to keep

They illustrate often just how far

The deceased had most recently
li\'ed in Florida, but had been born and
raised in l-loyd County. She left a son
who lives in New York and another in
Ohio. Her four daughters are scattered
among Michigan, West Virginia, Ohio
and Florida. A surviving sister lives in
Indiana.
Imagine - six ~tales impacted by
one eao;tern Kentucky "'oman.
This weekend, the county is filled
with people commg home to special
activities in Auxier, Dwale, Garrett,
Maytown, McDoY.ell and Wayland., that we know of.
Others arc coming back for family
reunions, including the Hickses, the
Hunters. the Conns, the Halls and
Slones, the Scotts, the Wellses, the
Jarrells, the Gnlliths, the Ncwsomes,
the Ousleys, the Laynes, the Parsonses
- that we know of.
To all of you, welcome home. We

"Like nice." the youngster remarked,

wandering much farther afield than his
elders when they get "hipped" on some
word, usually an adjective. "Fabulous,"
for instance, and "darling" and ''stupendous," etcetera.
To describe a person or a thing as

A former athlete. who played on Star Bottom as a boy. is back at

Making the leap from sports to literature and from Left Beaver
Creek to the world is second nature to M. Ray Allen, who is spending the weekend with old fncnds at the McDowell homecoming.
Allen, who attended the McDowell school from f1rst to 12th grade,
is an example of what a richly tliverse hfe can come from the coal
camps and hollows of eastern Kentucky.
A true Renaissance man, Allen is a writer, a teacher, a coach, a theater manager and play producer, an editor, an organizational leader.

His latest book reads, to some extent, like an autobiography. Allen
uses the former coal camp on the left side of Left Beaver Creek.
between Minnie and McDowell, as a ~ymbol of change- change in
his life, change in the region, and change in the world.
"I remember children playing on Star Bottom . 1 remember the coal
company there and the train going up Left Beaver," Allen
said in a phone intervie\\ earlier in the week.
"I saw it change from being inhabited, with
gardens and chimney smoke, to non-existence,'' said the 1959 graduate of McDowell
High School.

THE BLACKBERRIES
ARE GONE
Councilman Watt Hale is right proud
of the clean-up work being done m the
lower section of Prestonsburg and
advancing steadily up town. but he's concerned about funds to continue the job.
Asked about the prospects, he replied
with a slOT)' about a Methodist preacher.
The preacher was holding a revival in
a certatn community. and the only
rey, ards he received were purely spiritual. bery afternoon. lolks would .;ee him
chmb a long point. disappear from view,
then emerge to preach that night. They
wondered if he were going to that sylvan
retreat for prayer, but finally the matter
wa<; fully explained.
The explanation of his daily trips up
the h11l came. when somebody asked him
how long the revival would continue, and
when he answered:
''As long as the blackberries hold
out!"
WELL, NOW!...
How sarcastic can some pt:ople get?
The following is a prime example:
BE PATRIOTIC! BUY FOREIGNMADEGOODS!
...bccaw.e hundreds of foreign manufacturers ha\ e had U.S. mac hi neT) and
"knoy, hO\\" handed out to them on a silver planer as fmcign aid. Now we certainly owe thl!m the courte~y of buying
the stuff they produce with it!
... because dozens of U.S. fi rms have
had to t:stablt:-.h plants abroad in selfdefense against exorbitant union
demands It's onl) fair that we encourage
them to ship hack to us what the) make
abroad. That giws us benefit of the low
labor rates they ohtam over there .
... hecause if we all pttch in and buy
enough foreign pnods, our labor unions
won't have to stage costly strikes to force
employers into paying workers more and
more for doing less and less. We can all
retire on unemployment compensation.
Then we 'II get paid lor not working at

... bl:cause if we no longer buy things

profib will be reduced so that they won't

Pre~ident Dav1o; based hi sermon on the T\\cnt)-Third Psalm,
and stated that he p:u11cipatcd in
reenactments both to forget the
hatred of the w.~r Between the

his experiences after the War,
beginning \\ith his t\\o-ycar imprisonment in Fort Monroe under very
difficult conditions.

England after his release, and of living as an alien in his own country

for treason, although he was indicted in 1865.
According to his wife Varina,
President Davb suffered long-term

a disease which killed his first wife
and \'Cry nearly killed him.
During his term as president of
the Confederacy, there were many
periods that the government \\as

his unstable health.
These problems were exacerbated by his harsh imprisonment, lcadmg to his release after a series or

help you decide if he is actually
depressed.
A depressed person will have
some nr all of the following charactenstics:
• a sad or irritable mood most of
the day nearly every day, for the
past t\\ o weeks or more;
• a markedly dimini~hed interest

• a significant weight loss or

• difficulty ~tceping or sleeping

Unfortunately, about 70 percent

results in unnecessary suffering for
the individual. as well as stress in
the family.

one to six weeks before Lhe depression starts to improve.
It is also often helpful to have

first step is letting him know that
you care for him and about him.

Goal
Scores are based on a 140-point scale. Schools wh1ch had their service areas change during testing cycles
were not assigned a goal. Schools which met or exceeded their goals are eligible for cash rewards from the
state. Schools which did not meet their goals but which pertormed well enough to not receive assistance from
the state are considered given a d~signation of maintaining. Schools which are designated for assistance are
required to develop school improvement plans and are eligible to apply for Commonwealth School
Improvement Funds. Schools flagged with an "Audit" tag fall under the same requirements as Assistance
schools, but are also subject to a review from state-appointed auditors. State rankings are neither provided
nor endorsed by the state Department of Education, but are calculated by The Floyd County Times as an indicator of how local schools are performing to their counterparts across the state.

Floyd County residents will avoid a
$400,000 hike on their property tax bills
after the discovery of an error which
undervalued county oil. gas and timber
by millions of dollars.
The mistake was caught by County
Judge-Executive Paul Hunt Thompson,
who said he started digging aflcr receiving a recommendation from the state
that the fiscal court raise 1ts property tax
rate from 14.7 cents per $100 of
assessed value to 16.1 cents.
Local governments and taxing districts are restricted by a 1988 state Ia\\
which ~ets the maxtmum increase for
property taxes at 4 percent.
However. many choose what is
known as the "compensating rate,"
which generates rough!} the same
amount of property tax revenue as the
prev1ous year. Since real estate generally
rises in value. most tax rates either
remain the same or fall from year to year.
But the compensating rate suggested
by the state this year rcqutrcd an
increase in the tax rate.

TilOmpson said that when he saw the
suggested compensating rate, he began
comparing the 2000 assessment to the
1999 assessment. It wasn · t long afterward that he noticed the assessed value
of oil, gas and timber reserves had fallen from $72 million in 1999 to $23 million in 2000.
After making a few phone calls.
Thompson said it was discovered that
the oil, gas and timber assessment was
off by over $40 million .
Had the mistake gone unnoticed.
Thompson said the result would have
been a tax increase or between $~00.000
and $450.000, since other taxing districts m the county had already set their
rates at the state·s compensating rate.
During a special meeting of the fiscal
court Wednesday. commissiOners voted
to reject the compensating rate suggested by the state. The count} will now
wait for a com!cted assessment from the
state before setting its tax rate.

attending the party mixed drinks of
vodka and orange juice and then initiated sexual contact with them.
Shortly after. contacts were
made to local Social Services

of third-degree rape, third-degree
sodomy, two counts of third-degree
sexual abuse and three counts of
first-degree unlawful transaction

Children entering the public

will have the advantage of having
any vision problem corrected
before beginning their primary

A new law passed by the 2000

public !'Chool for the first time
must have a complete e)e examination, not a screening, by
January I, 2001.
As part of the Hou e Bill 706,
the Early Childhood Development

public preschool, Headstart programs affiliated with the public
schools or public chool for the

have eye exammntion by an

whole initiative is to make sure
every child reaches his or her full
potential. Sometimes, there are
hurdles to get over. but the child

About 13 percent or 27.430
Kentucky preschool children have
some type of vision deficiencies.
That number increases in grades
K-6, where 25 percent or 140,000
of Kentucky children, have some
type of vision disorder. The prevalence is C\ en higher in children at

Some visual conditions like
amblyopia which is the lending
cau::.e of vi,ion loss in people
under 40 can be corrected if dingnosed earl) enough in a child's
life. For certain conditions there
are narro\\ windows of opportunity to intervene and make a lifetime

The law which amends the public education statutes. applies only
to children entering public

that many of the private schools
will also adopt this standard.

DARE's
dying gasp
Merit pay for
teachers
by JAMES BOVARD
After an 18-month trial. members of the Cincinnati
Federation of Teachers recently took a revolutionary
step: They voted to scrap semority in favor of a performance-based evaluation system.
The plan calJs for comprehensive teacher evaluations
every five years and for teachers to be rated on a 4.0
scale and ranked as apprentice. novice, career. advanced
or accomplished.
The evaluatiOns, which will begin immediately. arc
based on 16 criteria for quality teaching, tncludtng.: professionalism. teaching subjects in which there's a
teacher shorta_2e, earning additional degrees or nauonal
certifications. taking on ex.tra work. and accept1ng difficult assignments.
In 2002, the teachers will vote up or dO\\ n the pay
scale tied to the new performance standards.
CFT President Rick Beck is convinced that teachers
wtll get a fatr shake because "teachers dominated the
commtttee that des1gned this system.''
But for many. the real beauty of the new system 1s
that good teachers can move up more quickly to top pay.
As one rightly said. "Good teachers shouldn't have tu
wait 20 years to make a decent salary."
Still, pay-for-performance is a political hot potato
This summer, for example. the National Education
Association voted against it. But it also agreed not to
prevent locals that want to move in that directiOn from
doing so.
Cincinnati IS the first school district in the country to
fully embrace a merit-pay system. and it might not be
easily duplicated elsewhere. In Kentucky, for instance, it
would apparently require changes in state law.
But Cincinnati's plan seems to have a better chance
of succeeding where others might fail because it takes
into account the complextties that teachers believe
important. No one measure of performance dominates,
such as high test scores. since student performance is
based on a variety of factors. Kentucky's system of
rewards for school-wide performance likewise measures
schools on a variety of standards and on their individual
progress, not their absolute achievement.
Moreover. no single change such as this one will
prove a magic bullet.
It's only a combination of educational strategtes, that
will do the trick. But certainly higher teacher pa~ is
going to be necessary, and educators are going to have to
find a way to achieve what the public will support.
Cincmnati 's teachers have adopted a strategy that no
doubt has won them public admiration and will be closely monitored. Anyone who is the least bit concerned for
public education should wish them success.

The nation's most popular drug education
program may be on the ropes. The Drug Abuse
Resistance Education (DARE) program is
increasingly being tossed out of school systems as the evidence of its failure to deter drug
use becomes overwhelming.
DARE was the brainchild of Los Angeles
Police Department chief Daryl Gates. who
launched the program in the early 1980s. More
than 20 million students receive DARE trainmg each school day; DARE is taught in every
state and in three-quarters of the nation's
school districts. The DARE curriculum i))

Jeff Stumbo was sworn in as a member of the Floyd County Board of

• 'JicDowell High School and a retired officer with the Prestonsburg
Pollee Department. The new District Three board member is a former
parent member of the BLES Site-Based Decision Making Council. He
was appointed by Kevin Nolan, interim commissioner of education for
the state, as interim replacement for Don Roberts, who resigned from
the board. Stumbo and Jimmy Osborne are on the ballot for the post
in the November election.
While the nation struggles to
recover from a critical shortage of
blood, central and eastern Kentucky
have a more specific need-the
need for Type 0 blood.
Throughout Central Kentucky
Blood Center's 58-county serv1ce
area, the supply of Type 0 blood is
short by 300 pints.
Recent trauma cases and compli·
cated surgeries have resulted in high
usage Average daily blood usage in
CKBC's service area is 180-220
pints. However in recent days, 250275 pints have been used each day.
"Our Kentucky communities
expect and receive optimum health
care opportunities. such as organ
transplants, chemotherapy for cancer patients. and increased chances
of survival for severe trauma
injuries," said Marsha Berry, CKBC
spokeswoman. "Those opportunities can occur only if they are supported by a monumental cooperative effort by volunteer blood
donors to ensure that a safe and adequate blood supply is always on the
shelf."
Officials at the Blood Center are
urging all donors-parttcularly
Type 0 donors-to make every
effort to give blood at a donor or
mobile drive near them. First-time
donors will receive a blood donor
card a few weeks after their donation mfonning them of their blood
type.
In an emergency, anyone can
receive type 0 Red Blood Cells.
Therefore, people with type 0
blood arc known as "universal
donors."
Donors may give blood at any
CKBC donor center in Lexington,
Hazard, Somerset, Pre~tonsburg or
Pikeville during regular hours.
Donors must be at least 17 years of
age, weigh 100 pounds or more and
be in good general health to donate
blood.

�THE FLOYD COUNTY TIMES
by KATHIE DICKENSON
RADFORD UNIVERSITY
I·all rs here. prcstdentral electrons nrc approaching, and words
tf arc sw1rling f.1ster than leaves in
November wind. You want to be a
responsible citiLen, but how can
) ou sort out the hype enough to
make an mtelligent choice in the
votmg booth?
Becoming an mformed voter
takes time and effort, says Radford
Uni' ersity comrnunic.1tion professor Gwen Brown, who specralizes
in political communication. "It
hothers me when I hear voters
chastised for not being well
inforn1ed on the rssues."
Although following every facet
~of a campaign is her passion as well
as her profe!>sion, "the average
voter docs not have the time to do
what I do." she says.
That being -;aid, she adds that
"no one ever said democracy would
be cas)" and offers ttps to help voters "ho want to make informed
decisions about candidates.
Two EssENTIALS
The Politicial Conventions"You need to take the time to see
the conventions," says Brown,
"because this is the party's opportunity to sa) 'th1s is our standard
~bearer' and 'these arc the prom1ses
we make.' Voters need to hold them
accountable to those promises."
The Presidenttal Debates-The
debates, she says, arc among the
best resources for voters. They
allow you to get a seme of the candidates' ideas and, el>pecially of the
clash between thetr ideas-how the
candidates are different.
"For three evenings this fall, you
can sit in your living room with the
candidates and judge for yourself
who these men are."
01 HER
f!
STRAIGHT• I' ROM• THE-
SOURCE OPTIONS
Candidates' Web Sites-"The
tK·st benefits of the Web sites is that
f
you can read the candidates'
o;peeches," says Brown. "It's
important to know what they are
saying so that you can hold them
accountable to their words."
In the news media, reporters will
only present a few lines of a
spec~h. then go on to discuss the
candidate's motivation for making
it. This med1a focus on political
~trategy, Brown addc;, rs a factor
that leads to cymctsm among voters.
How do you test the reliability
of a candidate's words'? For exampic. if he takes credit for sweeping
educational improvements in his
state while he was go,ernor or sen:ltor, how do you know the credit is
due him?
''Go to the other candidate's
Web site,'' says Brown. "If one candidate says anything questionable,
you can he sure the other one will
cal I htm on it."
You must read these sites with a
critical eye. "They will take every
opportunity to make themselves
look good," she says.
"Be sure you have the right Web
addresses,'' Brown wnrns. "There
arc a number of parody sites. If you
stumble upon certarn ones. you
may get a very red face ·· George
W. Bush's Web address is
www.georgewbush.com and AI
Gore's site is at "ww.algore.com.
Television Ads-Despite pubhc
perception that campatgn ads are
usually negatrve-a notion encouraged by the media-Brown says
thev cun be an excellent source of
information and that most of them
are actually positive.
If you feel an ad is tryrng to trick
you, ask yourself, "is this an ad that
fairly differentiates one candidate
from another, or docs it unfairly
attack the other candrdate with
unsubstantiated claims'?" Even
among ads that are negative, she
says, there are fair and unfair ones.
NEWS MEDIA
News media play an important
role in keeping the public informed
and aware of other perspectives
besides the candtdate!> '_ Brown
emphasizes getting a balanced picture.
"If you read The New Republic,
a middle-of-the-road to liberal
magazine, also read the more conservative Weekly Standard or The
National Review. Balance the more
conservative Washington Times
with the more liberal Washington
Post.''
Brown offers a quick evaluation
of the media available to most people.
Nightly Network Television
News-Traditionally. many people
rely on the mghlly news. However,
the hard news legacy of reporters
like Walter Cronkite hns changed
as a result of competition, and soft
news has taken the spothght.
For example, campaign financrng is a maJor issue in this camprugn. yet recently, when attorney
general Janet Reno appeared before
a Congressional comm1ttec to discuss her decision whether or not to
investigate AI Gore's 1996 campaign fund raising. not one of the
network news shows even mentioned it. ''ABC's lead story was
about dtstracted drivers,'' Brown
says.
or
Regional
The
Local
Newspaper-A standard source for
many citizens, local papers offer
more information than nightly
news, but coverage of national
issues is still limited.
The morning after Reno's
appearance
before
the
Congressional committee, Brown's
regional paper carried an AP story
the gist of which was that Reno had several diverse resource~ and stick

Weekly News MagazinesMagat.ines
like Time
and
Newsweek do some of the work for
you by choosing and reporting in
depth on the most important stories
of the week.
or course, sa)S Brown, you
should ask yourself, "Arc these the
stories I would have chosen, the
questions J would have asked?''
News magazines. or at least their
lead stories, are also available on
the Web.
Radio Talk Shows-Radto talk
shows usually feature hosts with a
well known political bent Hosts
often sec part of their show's purpose as entertainment and feel free
to make outlandish statements.
An important thing to look for.
Brown says. is whether the show's
host cites sources of his or her
tnfonnation that you could follow
up on it tf you wanted to.
TV Talk Shows-Sunday-morning -style shows like ''Face the
Nation,'' "Meet the Press," and
''Reliable Sources': often present
both liberal and conservative viewpornt~ rn a mini-debate on the
issue:;. Like radio shows, il these •
programs had no entertainment
value they wouldn't be on the air,
and with some it's hard to get past
the entertainment to the issues.
Still. "occasionally watching
some of these types ot shows can
give you a good sense of what's
going on," says Brown.
If one person says, "The campaign tinancing system is corrupt
and we need changes in the financing laws" and another responds,
"Show me where the corruption
is," you're going to get some education on the two sides of this
issue.
If you have limited time and
finances, Brown suggests, choose
Gas price jumps 9 cents in one month
Gas prices arc moving higher in
t all regtons of the country and now
average S1.58 per gallon for selfo;erve regular. accordmg to AAA.
The nationwide average is only
eight cents below the all-time high
price of $1.66 reached back on June
23.
The return of htgh prices is
prompting AAA to advise motorists
to redouble the1r fuel conservation
efforts and to prepare for higher
prices this winter.
"The sustained increase in pnces
111 2000 has caught many by sur~prisc and upset family budgets,''
said Dan Dickson, spokesman for
AAA Blue Grass/Kentucky. "We
urge everyone to mruntain their
vchrcles in peak operating condi-
tion so they save gasoline, and to
make fuel-efficient drivmg a priority."
For a typical two car family
using about 1,206 gallons of gasoline per year, the increase in fuel
prices means $410 in increased driving costs for the year, if prices
remain the same.
The national average prices for
self-serve regular in the last six
months were: August, $1.49 per
gallon; July-$1.58: June-$1.63:
May-$1.47; Aprrl-$1.49; and
March, $1.54.
The national average prrces for
self-serve regular for September for
the last five years were: 1999-$1.28
per gallon; 1998-$1.06: 1997$1.29: 1996-$1.26: and 1995-$1.17.
In Kentucky, the average price
for unleaded regular is $1.53, up 15
cents from August. Kentucky has
the nation ·s 13th cheapest gas
prices. The lowest average prices
arc in Georgia at $I .43; South
Carolina at $1.44 and Oklahoma at
$1.49. TI1e highest average prices
arc in Hawaii at $1.9:1. Nevada at
$1.85 and Oregon at $1.83.

Considering Lasik eye surgery'? Lasik, one of the
n~\\C!it procedures for viswn correcl1on, IS .surgery
to H very deli<:atc pHtl of the eye. And whllc hundreds of thousands of peopk have had Lasik. most
very successfully, it'.; not for everyone.
The Federal Trade Commission and the
Amrncan Academy of Ophthalmology ad~ise you
to get the clear plcture on what you can expect
he fore you s1gn up for the prOC'.edure.
Are you a good candidate for Lruiik? Before you
can weigh the risks and rewards1 kriow that:
• You should be at least 18 years old and in g(lOd
health.
• You should not be pregnant or nursing.
• You should not be taking certain prcscnpuon
drugs, such as Accutanc or oral prednisone.
• Your eyes must be healthy fmd your prescrip·
uon stable. .. ,, .
Even if you have the surgery, you may not get
the pertect vision you' rc hoping for. That's because
20no does not always mean perfect vision. And if
yuu have l..asik to correct your distance vision,
you' ll o.;till need reading glMses when you're around
<~gc 45 You also may need to retum for additional
surgery, called "enhancements" to fine--tunc yotlr
vision.
Remember that Las1k is too new to know if there
urc any long•term til effects beyond five years after
surgery nnd the procedure cannot be reversed.
It you decide to proceed, ask your surgeon the
following quesuons:
• How long have you been doing LaSiksurgery"l
• How do you define success? What's yolir success rate? What is the chance for meJ9,;:11ehieve
20120?
• What laser wlll you be using for my surgery?
Make sure your surgeon is using a laser approved
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
• What's mvolved in after-surgery care?
• Who will handle after-surgery car.e? Who will
be responsihle?
··.,.
• Whal aoont risks and possible compJications?
• What about side-effects? How long will they
last?

Prestonsburg. coming to the Cats'
lair, had a 2-3 record but has been
more producti\'e in putting pointe; on
the scoreboard Prestonsburg will
sport a 2-3 record and is 1-0 in district play.
Betsy Layne hw; played well at
times, only to nm out of gas late in
the g:m1e. The Bohcats have given
up ;m average of 49.2 points per
game in the last five outings. They
held Pike Central to 36 point-; in a
36-6 setback last Frirut) night.
But Prestonsburg coach John
Derossett and his ball dub are not
looking past the Bohcats, nor are
the) taking them for gn.u1ted. Coach
t1c Derossett sa1d Betsy Layne has the
athletes to, win.
"They ha\C a lot of good athletes." he said. 'They have the
(Adam) Collins ktd :md (Matt)
Williams at fullback. Brent
(Hamilton) has played well lately
and they have a go00 quarterback in
(Brandt) Brooks. They arc a well
coached team."
Prestonsburg is coming off a big
home win against pre\ iously unbeat·
en \Vhitesburg la'it Friday night and
the Cat-; are 1-0 in district play, but
f 2-3 overall.
Probably the biggest game
remaining on the Blackcat schedule
(of course. they all are big) wtll be

night.
But Prestonsburg docs not have
their eyes on Belfry: the)( an! just
looking to take care of business
tonight at Bets) Layne.
''Bet...y Layne is going to be sky
htgh for us." said the Pre. tonsburg
coach "The) have ah\ a) s played us
tough. They JUst se~:m to get up for
us."
.. Prestonsburg had to miss a day of
practice this pao;t Monda) after hosting Pike\ ille College m their fif!>lever home game.
"We lost a day of practice in getting ready for Beto;y Layne,'' said the
Prc~tonsburg mentor. "But \\C will
have to make up for it the rest of the
week:·
The victory over Whitesburg last
Friday ga\e the Blackcal'> an excellent chaucc of hosting a playoff
game in November, depending on
how they fare the re~t ol the season.
"It wa-; a big win for us," said
. Coach Derossett. 'They were, by
comparison, u two-touchdown better
team than we were. 1hey beat Leslie

"I am proud of our players and
how they played. 'll1cy did not play

enforce that more strictly than others. The

in fall heritage festivals rises
by STEPHANIE HAMILL
RADFORD UNIVERSITY
Fall-the welcomed lick of a cool breeze
after summer swelter. the green leaves turnmg beautiful shades of auburn and the warm
(:ozine'is of pulling out your favorite sweater
from its seasonal hibernation in tht' depths
ol your closet.
With wonderful wcathcr and the beckonJOg of tl1e open ro.1d sane; summer '.teat hill
traffic. it is the perfect time to be outdoor<;
and the perfect tune for f:unily tra\ el
Not only does th-.; mnre comlortable
weather beckon vacationers. st~ does a growing trend in hot spots that is hoth entelt,uning and educational-heritage festi\ als.
From coast to coast they are popping up and
drawing throngs of enthusiastic followers
..., ho want to learn about, celebrate and
embrace the m) riad cultures being represented.
Grace Edwards, director of Radford
University's Appalachian Regional Studies
Center says that the interest in heritage fcs
tivals goes beyond American borders as
well.
" Interest in our roots seems to have
grown increasingly over the past 20 years or
more," says Edwards. "More and more peo
pic want to fmd out what their personal cui
ture is and how it has evolved into what they
see now. ll's an interest that is sweeping the
nation and abroad "
Edwards just returned from the llbterAmerican Heritage Symposium. which was
held in Ulster. Ireland. and hosted by the
Ulster American Folk Park.
Radford University is a medium-:.ize
coeducational school tn southwest Virginia
that proudly prodwms Scots-Irish as its heritage. promoting 1hc Highlander as the
school mascot and the MacFarlane a~ its
official tartan.
The City of Radford and Radford
University host one ol the aforementioned
heritage festivals that are growing increasingly in popularity, The annual Radford

Edwards say that there are many \ill ages
of the early Scoh-lrish senler~ rcmammg in
the region ...Story and song are precmincm
10 the area. both in print and oral tradition.
Many ballads that are still sung and arc well
known originated in Scotland and Ireland.
Stories such as the Jack Tales and any tales
of ghosts. ~itches or little people arc directly linked. even if the setting is now
Appalachia." she says.
She also points to such crafts as basketmaking, woodworking and metalsmithing
that were brought directly from Scotland
and Ireland, as well as the generatiOnspassed-down art of whiskey making.
The Scots-Irish, also called the Scotti,
Scotch-Irhh and Ulster Scots. originally hail
from Scotland, where they lived until the
1600s. In an attempt to put more order in
what they considered a wild Northern Irish
population. the British fanned the Ulster
Plantation in Northern Ireland around the
1600s.
They kncY. the lure of tnexpcn-;ive land
would draw man) Scots to the area and. in
tum. ch ilit.e it. Many Scots did make the
move and there were many feuds between
the original ~orthcrn Irish (who were mostly Catholic) and the Scots living on the
Ulster Plantation (who wc1e most!)
Protestant)
Regardless. the mtgratmg Scot- maintained the land m Northern Ireland for more
than a century and the two culture~ hlended
!'.Omewhat. Those born m the L.1stcr area as
y,eJI as those who migrated from Scotland to
Ulster now called tl1emselv<.•s Ulster Scots.
Ma~s migrations of these Ulster Scots to
America occurred throughout the I 700s.
\\hen they arrived. the) then called themselves Scots-Irish.
Many of the later group~ of Scots-Irish
immigrants to America were led to settle m
the Appalachian Mountains by imnngrants
who preceded them. One prominent ScotsIrish family who settled tn the New River
Valley and whose legacy live~ on in the outdoor drama ··The Long Way Home'' is that
of Mary Draper Ingles.
The traditions, way of life and even the
language of the Ingles and other Scots-Irish
families who settled here carry over to thts
day. Linguistic studies have shown that 45
percent of the Appalachian language pattern
has its origin in the Scots-Irish language.
Some examples include ")·an:· ..might
could.. and "used to could."
Edwards says that learning about the culture one lives in is not only a privilege. but
also a responsibility. ''It all goes back to
scotlandaodlre~beforerhc
stt~lers
here~en
came
fol
lowing that thread to where we

which piques interest and

"Tht.!rc is a tremendous amount of pride

look back at and appreciate the lives our
ancestors lived. and sec thatlifc~tyle side by

Scotland for centuries) and vanous authentic
Celtic music and arts and crafl<> .
fhe festival also offers an on-site genealogists to help visitor:; get back to their roots
and see just how far they run in America and
beyond.
The day ends the way any Scottish event
would, wtth a ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee).
which means celebration in Gaelic. l11i'
jnfonnal gathering JS akin to a jam session

�October Gatlinburg Craftsmen's Faira Southeast tourism society top 20 event
Colorful. breathtaking mountains, cool
auiUmn freshness and the allure of nature's
beauty... these are some very good reasons
to visit the Great Smoky Mountains this
fall.
But if you need a little more coaxing.
how about making plans to attend one of
the Southeast's most popular events-the
Gatlinburg Craftsmen's Fair at the
Gatlinburg Convention Centt:r, October 422.
Promoters Sam and Tracey Large have
developed an event that t:onsistently
aurat:ts the country's finest craft people. In
fact. the Gatlinburg Craftsmen's Fair's
popularity and reputation have become so
widespread that for the second year in a
row, it was recognized as one of the Top 20
Events in the Southeastern U.S. hy the
Southeast Tourism Society.
A unique characteristic of the
Gatlinburg Craftsmen's Fair is the fact that
the artists not only make their art available
for viewing and sale. but they abo demon
!:Irate the1r ~pccial talents and skills.
One such artJst is Spencer Williams of
Gathnburt:. Tennessee Spcm:.cr and his
wtfe own nd operate Spencer W11laams
Wtldhfc Art, wbkh is h1cated in the ''arts
cornmun1ty.'' uhout three nulcs from downtown Gatlinburg.
After \\oorkJng as un 11lustrntor as wdl as
number of other fields. Withams decided
to give his passion-pamtmg a try. He
believes that some "divine'' guidance led
hun to an arts and crafts show, where he
discovered h1s true calling: wildlife art.
His paintings are all orginals, with some
done in acrylic and some in oil. Each print
captures one or more of nature's wondrous
creatures along with a thought provoking
Bible verse.
He was recently commissioned by the
Franklin Mint to create a series of ceramic
plates which were to be offered as collector's items.
Artist Nancy Wilson. of Sevierville,
Termessee, who along with her husband,
has developed their craft by "taking what
you have and creating a visual art form.''
Their business, which is called "Art of the
Past," features "historic American folk
art." made up of some fascinating collectibles such as wood carvings, dolls, toys,
circus animals and hand paintings, just to
name a few.
All of the items they create arc made
from ''pieces or history," discarded furniture. buttons. tin. old fabrics, leather. nails,
even some animal hair. Each piece of material has its own interesting story and with
the help of .some very gifted hands is transfomlcd 1010 an authentic American art
fonn
Wilson con!'iidcrs the Gatlinburg
Crafhmen's Fa1r a very special 'how ''lull
of variety and highly accommodating for
hoth craftspeople und visrtors."
Another craftsman who is very farmliar
walh the success and popularity of the
Gatlinburg Craftsmen's Fair is Charles
Adams, of Troy, Alabama. who ha.-. expertly created a unique collection of stained
glass works, including windows, doors,
clocks. Tiffany style lumps, kaleidoscopes,
sun catchers and perhaps his specialty--
stained glac;s angels.
Adams has been partrc1pating in the
Gatlinburg Craftsmen's Fair for nearly 18
years and although he designs inventory for
more than three months in preparation for
the show. "I still rarely have enough merchandise to meet the demand found at this
show. I've met people at the show from
throughout the U.S .. as well us Germany
and England. ln fact a gentleman from
Texas ordered a 5-foot stained glass angel
for his church and sent a driver to pick it up
so it wouldn't get broken.''
Rebecca McConnell, of Brighton, Iowa.
who own!> and operates Becky's Basket
Heaven. knows all too well what a special
place the Gatlinburg Craftsmen's Fair is.
"I do a lot of shows (more than ~0 per
year) but the Fall Gatlinburg Craftsmen's
Fair is one of my absolute favorites. The
promoters do an outstanding job. 11 is one
of the highest quality -;hows out there and
the Smoky Mountains arc incredibly beautiful at that time of year."
McConnell's rooL" take her back to thl~
Alleghany Mountams where she was first
introduced to the art ol b.tsket wcavmg.
She makes more than 40 different sizes of
weaved basket items, IJlcluding picnic baskets, laundry hampers and hand rainted

Rogers said that the plan will serve

just taken office that day, waved a tattered textbook he said a student had
shown him during a recent visit to
John M. Stumbo Elementary

"A child asked me, 'Can
we get some books?'" the
new board member said,
holding the book, which
was missing its covers
and several pages, in the
air.
But Joyce Watson, system textbook coordinator. put the responsibility for
textbook orders back on the school.
··we have allocated more than $800,000 for textbooks
over the last two years.'' Watson said. "We have spent
more in the past two years than in all the last I 0, to my
knowledge.··
She said that the central office has a rotation for buying

instructed

\\Ork on a site plan for corrcctmg
the school's othe1 needs, wh1ch \\ill

Joe Nance. linanciul consultant.
reported that the school system has
a bonding potential of about $7.6
million. including more thun $4
million earmarked for athletic complexes at South Hoyd and
Prestonsburg high :;chools.
"You have $3.6 to $3.7 nnllion
available for another project,..
Nance said. addtng that he had been
"ultra conservative'' 111 cormng up
with the figure.
Regarding the athletic complexes. Adams satd he is "ready to go to
the Kentucky Department of
Education for final approval" of
construction plans.
Three distnct school::. underwent
of their food service
operatwn last spnng. and one was
found \\ anting. it was revealed.
Paul l\lcEiwaine. who oversees
food services for Kentucky
Department of Education. satd his
stall rcvtewcd the breakfast and
lunch program at Betsy Layne and
Stumho elementary schools and at
Allen Central High School.
He said they d1scovered a VIOlation at Betsy Layne ''in terms of the
way meal counts arc gathered."
Asked if the problems have been
corrected. McEiwaine used an anal
og) of b01ling water. "You put heat
under water... and the molecules are
active. You tum down the heat, and
the action slows down."
However. he said he is encouraged that Brenda Fish, food service
dtrector for the system. is committed to visiting all the schools on a
regular basis. "It's so much a matter
of constant oversight,·· he said.
McEiwa1ne pointed out that the
local food sen ice program handles
more than $2 million a year. "That's
a significant amount of money, so
tt's important that documentation be
there.'·
Fish asked the board to approve
the food pnce schedule. which
remains the same as last year's, but
she also asked that the board con
sider offering school 'oluntcers the
same rate for meals as pa1d staff.
The board approved the meal
rates, and Ross asked Fish to find
out what the cost would be to adjust
for volunteers paying the lower rate.
The board also approved the
salary schedule for classified personnel. The total package will cost
an additional S I 34,000. accordmg
to Matt Wireman. finance director.
The package includes expanding
the grade levels for pay, based on
years of experience. The new schedclo~e ~cruuny
ule allows for 71 percent of the classified workers to "get some type of
pay increase,.. Wtrcman said.
Board members refused to
approve a new grading system at
Prestonsburg Elementary School,
whtch mcluded the assignment of
letter grades at the primary level,
the three years beyond kindergarten.
" I have to vote against thJs," said
Carol Stumbo. "It is not in the sp1\ll
it of the primary."
Sta te manager Carter recom·
mended that the board "enter into
more discussion" w1th the pri!lcipal,
instmctional leader and Region 8
consultant.
The board also:
• approved the temporary fund·
ing of positions at Betsy Layne,
Duff and Prestonsburg elementaries
and Prestonsburg High School.
• authorized the superintendent
to approve facility use requests.
• approved the second reading
~
of the system budget.
• accepted the state's offer of
$32,500 for property on Btg Branch
of Abbott.
• agreed to let the SBDM at
Duff Elementary decide how to use
the building that used to hold water
tanks.
Carter presented recommendations for the board to address some
of the school system's academic
concerns. H:e advtsed the board to
have a work session in which members discuss specific actions and
objectives for the superintendent. _....
He also suggested having ~ - '
council of SBDM councils meeting
to "air our differences."

James gives further acclaim to
the program in regard to the suggestion of a regional tourism office. He
says that for the past five years,
Prestonsburg. Paintsville· and
Pikeville have made attempts to
merge marketing themes and the
placement of the Whiteman and
Taintor plan will help to create the
cohesiveness they have sought.
The plan proposes the creation of
seven "Corridor Teams" made up of
representatives of counties, cities.
tourism organizations and local
businesses within each tourism corridor. The regional tourism coordinating team would support each
corridor team with technical assistance, help with marketing and project development work. The regional team would also help secure
funding for tourism development
efforts.
The corridors named in the study
include:
• The Mountain Parkway
• The Country Music Highway
(U.S. 23)
• The IGngdom Come Corridor
(25Eill9)
• The Daniel Boone Parkway (166)
• The Interstate 75 Corridor
• Highway 27-Highway 90
• U.S. 80 West/I-66
According to James, the U.S. 23
corridor was the beginning of cooperative marketing with themes for
regions.
Rogers secured a federal grant of
$500,000 from the federal
Economic
Development
Administration (EDA) for The
Center to develop the plan, and
announced that he would work for
additional funds to make it a reality.

Uns,1fe tire.,, unstl'c \'chicles, unsali.: drivers. But
the worst or thest.! is unsafe dri,·crs.
J.irst some pcr.,pel·tivc. Tn 199H (latest available
data) there \\Cre. nn .neragc. 114 motor \ChJcle
deaths per da}! Some 24 of th<.·sc death' "ere in pickups and SUVs. Onl) 24 percent of deaths in autos
\\ere from single vehicle crashes compared to 57 percent in pickups and 65 percent in SlJVs.
We conclude: I) The high proportion of single
\Chicle deaths in pickups and SUVs indicates thut
either drivers of the e \chicles arc more reckless or
the vehicles are inherent!) more unsafe than autos. or
both (there is ev ide nee supporting hoth factors): 2)
The current media hlitt and special Congressional
hearings, focused on Ford Explorer SUVs and
Firestone. ures. is based on 88 deaths over a decade
attributed to tire failure (plus five more recent deaths)
which. hy comparison to the total carnage on the
highways, is an insignificant numher.
Not that we wish to trivialite a 'inglc death but
\\ hy the Jack of anention to the 0\ er 40,000 killed
every ) ear? Over the time that les~ than I 00 death'
arc blamed on Firestone Tires/Ford Explorers. O\ er
400,000 people were killed in motor vehicle accidents. With 6.5 million recalled Firestone Tires we
might ha\'e expected thousands of death!>, not less
than 100.
Americans ha\ e a long standing love affair "ith
their automobtles. Thas affection has l'oncentratcd on
pickups and SUVs. whose sales in 1hc last decade
have increased from less than I million to 4 million.
Market research indicates th;H SUV buyers feel
they arl' safer than in more tmdit1onal automobiles.
1 hey are safer when they crash with ~lllother vehicle,
anti ~ a iticism has been directed at Sl V chara~teris
tics that cause th~:m 111 lw so damagmn to other whicles thut most manufacturers have modified SUV
designs in 2002 models to reduce risks to other vchi-
cles.
But 1\\0·thirds of SUV crash deaths are smgle
vehicle and not crashes \\ ith other vehicles Several
l~tctors arc responsible: I). SUVs have haghl·r center::.
of gravity. increasing the propensity to roll over; 2)
Low air pressure in the firestone tires on Ford
Explorers (Ford suggested 26 psi) cause'i excess heatIll£ (frequently increased by overloading). which can
cause tire failure (Ford has implicitly adnntted this b)'
mcreasang the recommended tire pressure to 30 psi
(front tirl!s) and 32-35 psi for rear llres. in the new
2002 modeb; 3) SL '\- O\\ ncrs. feeling safer in their
\Chicle~. may tend to drive faster and less (arefully
than other dnvers: 4) Federal regulatwns for SUVs
are not only out-of-date but incredibly less stringent
than those [()r autos; 'i) Relaxation of federal speed
limits on interstates ha\e led to much faster speeds, a
killer facto1 even v. ithout adding the excess heat
problem on tire failure.
American-; like to beheve that every problem has
a culprit. always someone or someth1ng else, never
themselves. Most motor vehicle deaths arc caused b)
drivers but f•irestone tires and Ford Explorers are easily identifiable culprits and Congre-..s. looking for
voter favor. hold::. hearings.
But it \\as Congress that chmmated lcdcral speed
limits on interstates. allowing states to eliminate
them or set their own (al\\ ays higher) speed limit....
The documented result was increased highway

does the column '"Critter Comer." did a
resporu;e to a column I did back in January
- No. Carol is not a slow reader. Let her
tell you ahout it. Here is the note:

The Roman Emperor Augustus, it's said, was so afraid of thunder he would hide In a c loset whenever a thunderstorm came
up.

Willie.
So the{rc called mondegn.-ens. huh'?
I ve heard them all m) life, but I never
heard Qf them. I had to respond to your
January column, ::.ince you asked for more
examples. Somehow. I missed that one at
the time and onl} ran across it yesterday. I
think it ma) have been the first time I
actually pulled a ne\v~paper out from
under a litter hox once it was already m
usc! (Don't take that personally - my
columns end up there too')
My rl!ceptionisl once heard her lirtle
g1rl outside yelling Helllire! Tums out she
v. as ti) ing to sing "El\ ira." Th1s same
child was the one who thought "Dre~sed
for Success" was "Dressed for Safe Sex!"
(I realize not all of these arc printable. but
thought you'd enjoy them anyhO\\ ).
One of m) friends - a grown man possibl) still thinks "You picked a fine
time to leave me. Lucille. with live hungry
children nnd crop in the field." actually
says ··five hundred children." No wonder
Lucille left.
Eve!) ume we c;ing "Must Jesus Bear
the Cross Alone" at church and get to the
line. "the consecrated crogs I'll bear," I
remember my hagh school l ·nglish teacher
saying c;he thought it said "the consecrated cross-eyed bear." She 'aid she spent
years as a child tf) mg to make that cross
eyed bear ti t into the Sunday School les
son.
Vet clinics are an endle~~ source of
these; unfortunate!}. a lot of thl·se fall into
th~ categol) not suitabl~ for the local
paper. Acmally. they lll<l) not even be
mondegrccns in the strictest sense. but
the) 're close. and I don"t know what else
you'd call them.
When I told a farmer I thought h1s pig
had Cl)'sipcla'i, he was mortified bet:ause
he couldn't figure where it could have
possibl)' contracted this. (l ie thought 1
\\as saymg syplu h-.. and my tclhng him I
planned to treat 11 '' ith high d<hes of penicillin probably added to the misunderstanding.

BLADE TIPS
If you have actrcular saw table saw, or
radral arm saw, purchase a vanety of
blades to suit vanous needs. Blades fall
into two general categones: standard
steel (which must be sharpened often)
and carbide tipped. Although carbidebpped blades stay sharper longer they
are more brittle and can be damaged ~
handled mprope~y The number of
teeth on the blade the gnnd of each
tooth and the gullet depth (the space
between the teeth) determ ne the
smoothness and speed of the cut. Large
flat-ground teeth make a fast, rough rip
cut, and small pointed teeth that aHer·
nate left and nght cut slowly and
smoothly across the grain. To avoid kick·
back. some blades come with a hump
behrnd each tooth

A View From the Hill
by CRYSTAL HOWARD
When you're in high school, you
spend a lot of time dreaming of what
your college years will hold. You
can't wait to get out on your own
and be your own person.
I can't say that it was love at first
sight with me and Pikeville College.
I don't think any college would have
Jived up to my expectations. I wanted the fun that came with college,
but I wasn't ready for the hard work
that was required. The first few
weeks I was convinced no one had
classes as hard as mine, and my professors, well, they just had to be the
toughest ever.
It took a while, but I learned that
if I put forth my best effort those
tough professors would help me any
. way they could. I don't think I could
have made it at a larger college
where the professors don't know
your name and might not be there to
help if you had trouble when it carne
to chemistry.
Once I figured out that no matter
how tough a class seemed there
would always be a professor who
was willing to help, life got a lot easier.
Being a student at Pikeville
College is like being a part of a community. Faculty, staff and fellow students know you by name and are
willing to lend you a helping hand
whenever you need one. During the
last three years, I have made friendships that will last a lifetime.
I began my senior year this fall
As I think back over the past three
years, I recall so many good times.
Founders' Day with its hay ride and
picnics always offered a great deal
of fun, as did those cold winter days
when the snow piled high and I was
just waiting for a snowball to fly through the air whenever T stepped
out. I spent a lot of time complaining
about studying, but some of the best
times I've had in college have been
while I was studying for a big test
while surrounded by friends.
Next May, if all goes as planned,
I will graduate. My experience at
Pikeville College has shaped the
person I am. For this reason, I am
confident that I will succeed no matter what path life takes me. And
when I look to the hill. whether it's a
year from no'~ or 20 years from •
now, I will always remember what a
wonderful impact Pike\'ille College
had on my life.

Major league
season nearly
over for 2000
On!) I 8 days remain
until high school basketball practice begins and
the official day opens on
a Sunday.
While we await the
stan of the roundball
oo;eason. we have but one
wt·ck left in major
leagu~ ha~ehall and five weeks remaining
in high school football.
The Cincmnali Reds will close out their
2000 schedule on the road with three
games at Milwaukee anti three at St. Louis.
Of course. the Rl:'ds arc through as far as
contending this ~cason and already the
hrass of the Reds is looking forward to the
200 I season.
I took in the linal home game of the
~eao,on on the tuhr \\hen the Reds won
three straight trom Hou,ton to close out
their home -.chedule. My man, C'hri<;
Stynes, homered m the tinal two games to
bring the Red.., I rom behind for the threegame ~weep.
I look 101 the Reds to deal Styncs this
wtnter stmply becau'c he had a great second half of the season anti other clubs are
t1ll\\ interested in him.
At third base. Stynes is just as good
dclcnsively as Aaron Boone and can hit
better than Roonc. I suggest keeping
Stynes and dealing Boone.
It was interesting to listen to George
Granger ami C'hris 'v\t•lsh on TV Sunday as
they anal) 1ed what w~o:nt \\ rong this season. The linger. again. was pointed at the
t'luh \ pitching ~tuft, c~pecially the starting
rotation.
Granger's assc-.sment \\oas the Reds desperate!) need to gn aftc1 lront hne pitchers
in the off-sea~on. Welsh's conclusion was.
"'Whe1e are the) going to get it?" Most
hallclubs arc in the ...arne tix as the Reds.
All need pitchin" -...ot e' eryonc can put a
rotation on the l1ound '' ith the likes of St.
L{1uis or Atlanta
Looking nt the nutli1.•ld. who are keepers
for the Redo, and \\ hn is expendable?
• Thl' Reds need consistenc>y with the
hat as mud1 as they need a conststent winnet on the mound Tht•t'dore. keepmg a
Dmitri Young is 'ital . lie ts versatile, can
hit and '" ith power.
• Alex Ochoa hnd a good final four

get w play that mtK'h in the first threequarters of the season. After lhe trade of
Bichcttc. he pnlVcd he l'an hecome an

• There is Junior 1Ken Griffe) Jr.) in the
nutliehl. I '' i~h I nmld say the Reds don't
need the rontro\'er... ial player but 40 horneruns and 120 RRis would be hard to
replace.
Oka)! \\'e '"ill keep '\oung. Ochoa and

Redman makes
pro debut in
mop-up role
by STEVE LeMASTER

LouiS\ille
Cardinal Chns
Redman made hi'>
:-\ational League
Football debut
this pa..'t Sunda)
for the Baltimore
Ra,cns, the team
that dr..tfted him in the third round ol
last ~pring's NfL draft.
Redman came in late in the
fourth 4uarter and finished busting
up the lo\\ ly-Cincinnati Bcngah .
Redman had 4uite a collegiate
football career at the Uni,crsity of
Louisville. It was good to sl.'e the
former Louiwille Male High
School product get in there and get
his tirst NFL career snaps under his
belt.
Many around the Blucgras~ .
especially in the Louis\ illc area feel
Redman had both a better h1gh
school and collegiate career than
did Cle,eland·-. Tim Couch. Both
players \verc highl)
touted
prospects coming out of high
school.
Couch made no secret '"here he
was going and chose Kentuck}. On
the contrary, Redman kept fans at
bay for a whik before signmg \\ ith
the Oklahoma Sooners. The
J.oui,ville native didn't like it out
west so he returned and signed with
his
hometown
collegl'.
the
University of Louis' ille.
Couch and Redman had '>tl'llar
careers in the college ranks and now
find themselves once again playing
against each other in the pros. ll1e
only difference is Cou(:h ~tarts
while Redman is rclagated to a
backup role.
Redman is the type of football
player "ho seems to always <n ercome the ad-.crsit\ of a s1tuation.
His father. Bob Redman. a high
school football coach him-.elf, hn'
instilled n ne\er-say -ne,er attitude
in hb 'on.
My gue-.s i' Redman \\On't be a
Baltimore Ra' en back-up quarterback for long. llc"ll be a ~tartmg
NFL quarterback tf not in
Balli more, then !tome\\ here else.

ered bv the Bears ktckoff team.
Pikeviile barely missed the end
zone on their second drive of the
game and settled for a Mike
Mahoney field goal.
The PikevilJe College defense
put a score on the board when
defensive standout B.J. Jackson
recovered a fumble and rnn it in
for the touchdown. With 10:50
remaining on a first quarter clock
the Pikeville College Bears held a
solid 15 0 lead over the
Cumberland College JV team.
Freshman Derrick Dewberry
set up Pikeville's first of three second-quarter touchdowns. Branton
took a !-yard quarterback sneak
into the end zone and Mahoney
added the extra point to make it a
22-0 Pikeville College lead.
Cumberland College returned
the next kickoff all the way to
their own 48 where they were
stalled by a fierce Pikeville
College defense led by defensive
ends Shaji Jackson and Antawn
Brown.
After returmng a punt to the
Cumberland 39-yard line, B'ranton
went up under center und wasted
little time findi ng freshman wideout Terrance Prrde for a 40-yard
touchdown strike. A sure-footed
Mike Mahoney added th~.; PAT
kick to put the Bears up 29-0 with
2:'29 left on a second quarter
clock.
Branton found Pride one more
trmc before the half, lhis time for
an even bigger touchdown strike
than on the prcv10us offensive
dn ve Branton hit Pride with a 68yard touchdown bullet, Pride's
second touchdown reception of
the game. A Mike Mahoney extrapoint kick made it a 36-0 Pikeville
College halftime lead.
Ptkcville freshman running
back Mtchael Burke got into the
scoring act after the hal f. Burke
broke loose on a 68-yard touchdown gallop to extend the
Pikeville College lead even more
The Bears two-point conversion
try failed, leaving the Bears WJth a
42-0 lead midway through the
thtrd quarter.
While the Cumberland College
offense continued to struggle the
Pikeville College offense continued to churn out yardage like a
welt-mled football machine.
Belfry High alum Jonathan
Wright got his frrst snaps under
cen ter as a Pike ville College
freshman . Wnght scored on a 1yard sneak up the middle of the
Cumberland defense and also connected with freshman Kelvin
G1bbs on a 62-yard touchdown
pass
Overall it was a dominating
game for the Pikeville College
Bear:. A 55-0 win in their second
career game and more importantly
a monumental first win in the program's history gives the team
added motivation be.tding into this
Saturday's home game with Fork
Union Military Academy.
"We were play1nr with someone tt>ntght who is on our level,"
sard Coach Willis. "Cumberland
College is not Georgetown
College and we knew that cuming

This Saturday's game with
Fork Union will pit Coach Willis'
Pi kevi lie College Bears up against
a squad ftllcd with good athletes.
"Fork Union has at least eight
guys J know of who are commiued
to play at Division 1 schools like
Cltmtson and Florida next season," said Willis "They have a
great tradition and we know we'll
be facing a real athletic team when

management.
It's wrld! The Reds play 111 the
\\Cakcst of all the maJOr le.1gue
divisions. Had they heen 111 other
divisions rt would have been a lot
worse.
On the stadium. They nrc cryrng
they will lose 14,000 scats once
construction hegins on the new stadium and the left and left center
fences. scats and all arc removed.
To me, that many seats and more
are empty anyway. So what is the
big <.leal'! fhey will still have
42,000 plus seating and will be hard
pressed to fill that many.
If the Reds could swing a trade
to where they can get two consistent
winners from the mound, then the
year 2001 will be an excrtrng one.
The Reds had little trouble beating the Braves, Cardinals, New
York and other higher echelon
teams but they couldn't beat the
teams below them.
I hope the Reds will be active
th1s wmter and come up with a couple of good am1s. If so. then we will
enjoy the 2001 season.
Until Friday, good sports everyone and be good sports I

Dear NASCAR This Week,
I have a dream. I would like to
see Dale Earnhardt win his eighth
championship driving a Chevrolet
for Richard Childress, then go on to
win his lllnth title driving a Ford.
... This would give the Ford "boo
birds" a chance to also cheer for
The Intimidator and change their
thoughts of him.

WINSTON CUP
DOVER. Del. -The
teammates made the coach
proud.
•
Tony Stewart drove his Home
Depot Pontiac to victory in the
MBNA.com 400. Bobby
Labonte finished f1fth and
extended his Winston Cup point
lead considerably.
For Joe Gibbs, the Hall of
Fame coach of the Washington
Redskins turned NASCAR team
owner, it couldn't have been
better.
Labonte's showing may have
been more historically
significant than Stewart's
because Labonte is chasing
the championship, not just the
checkered flag.
f That little fact took nothing
away from the fact that Stewart
was astonishingly impressive.
To be truthful, Stewart and
Labonte behaved as if they
were ridmg thoroughbreds, not
driving stock cars. Stewart was
the "speed horse~ who went
out and set such a pace that
the other horses broke down.
Labonte then moved in toward
his championship, all
opposition having been
conveniently vanquished.

evolved into a par for the Dover
Downs course Saturday.
Dover Busch races are often
filled with excitement, and after
a number of multicar, and
sometimes flaming, crashes,
Matt Kenseth had survived
intact.
The Cup rookie from
Cambridge, Wis., dipped back
into the Busch Series and
dominated.
Not that anyone should have
been surprised. Kenseth led
102 of 200 laps at Dover,
giving him a career total of 414
laps led in Busch Grand
National races. That total is
considerably more than
Kenseth has led at any other
track.
CRAFTSMAN TRUCK
DOVER, Del.- On the
weekend of his Winston Cup
debut, Kurt Busch won the
MBNA E-commerce.com 200
race on Friday at Dover Downs
International Speedway.
Busch, who won the pole but
crashed his primary Ford truck
in practice, won at the expense
of another Ford pilot, Mike
Wallace,who spun with three
laps to go after the two trucks
touched going into turn one.
The victory was Busch's third
of the season.
FYI, Earnhardt drove Fords in
1982 and 1983 for car owner Bud
Moore. We doubt it will happen
again.
Dear NASCAR This Week,
Templates and critical dimensions are mandated by NASCAR,
not to mention body styles of the

spend so much time and money on

Valvoline will sponsor Johnny Benson for the entire 2001 Winston Cup schedule.
By Monte Dutton
NASCAR This Week
Johnny Benson, who was once Winston
Cup Rookie of the Year, has served not1ce
this year that he 1s capable of becom1ng one
of the circuit's leading drivers.
Despite sponsorship and ownership
difficulties and changes, Benson has
freQuently run near the front this season,
including a second place finish to Tony
Stewart on Sunday in the MBNA.com 400 at
Dover Downs.
Still operating on a shoestring budget,
Benson should be in for even better
performances next year when Valvoline
comes on board as hts primary sponsor.

At every place on a body where
the template does not measure its
shape, wind-tunnel testing is used
to mold the body in a way to make
the car faster. It is hard for a layman to understand how this can
make a difference, but teams assure
us that it does. We guess it shows
just how competitive this sport is.

Dear NASCAR This Week,
I just read the comment that
road racing does not require any
real driving skills. I would have to
say that I disagree with this com·
ment. I myself am a racer and it
takes all kinds of driving skill to be
a successful road racer. For example. you must be able to control a
car that ts turning both left and
right all the time. You must also be
efficient with a manual transmission. This comment kind of made
me upset. Thank you.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Mother and son team of Garrett supporters -Annis Clark and Michael
Clark.
Elmo Green and Willie Martin shared memories.
Lou Henry Scott and Peggy Jo Graves discussed old times.
Rutherford Turner holds a golden brick from the old Garrett High
School.
(Editor :> Note; 01ier Labor Day weekend, the
author CO\'ered three Right Beaver reunions-and
then some. Here are his reflections.)
We all look into the mirror each day and think ''the
big lie." I haven't really changed that much in the
past 20. 30, 40. 50 years. When we look into the mirror, the reflection doesn't match how we feel inside
about ourselves.
ln the spring and summer, there are weddings,
graduations. memorials and family reunions, but the
most special of all are the school reunions. Three former school communities, Garrell, Wav land, and
Maytown, as well as others, almost san·k from the
weight of the enduring love for long ago friends and
others over the Labor Day weekend.
Everyone awaits \\ ith great anticipation to see old
friends. and all remembering those wonderful school
days. There is also a time of sadness. bringing back to
mind friends who have passed on from various reasons: accidents, wars. and natural causes. However,
we are all traveling down the same road of life: some
get off the highway a heartbeat soonet than others.
Then comes the big boomer of seeing that long
ago first love of our life, the loss of that old boyfriend
or girlfriend, not to death, but worse. into the arms of
another- the big hurt, heartbreak hotel.
These schools of the past, and the reunions. sometimes bring together friends you haven't seen in 50
years. These individuals are not related to each other
by blood or marriage, but their bond of love comes
from the golden school days and growing up in the
same communities.
I think the happtest days of our lives for all of us
were our school days, growing up as close knit as
blood family. sharing the pride in the name of your
coal camp town of Garrett.. \Vayland. or Maytown and
outlying communities. The basketball rivalry made
for a lifelong bond of love and friendship for one
another.
Way back then, we made our fun-filled days. We
didn't have or need a television and computers to sit
before to be entertained. There were very few families that had an auto for leisure, most were for work.
The schools lost young men and women to World War
II. Korea, and VietNam. There were many made widows and orphan~. because fam1ly members were lost
in the blackness inside the innards of mother earth,
the coal mines. These communities share mutual love
for one another.
At these reunions the happiest days I heard discussed were playing with a ball made of black tape
and a good tapered branch for a bat and a square
made in the ground with a stick for running of basec;.
r listened to men tell of playing basketball from a
goal made of stiff wire. The backboard was made of
planks and sometimes covered with tin from a metal
roof.
Plus. we talked of playing hop scotch, round town,
ktcking the can, may I, red rover, London bridge,
drop the handkerchief, hjde and seek, tag, ~pin the
bottle and that wonderful game "post office."
1 don't know why I listed post office as a game. I
sure didn't think of it as a game. My heart raced a
mile a minute after calling a girl to the post office that
was in a dark room or stairway and trying to find her
and her lips.
The big event on Sundays was walking the railroad track, because it went through the center of all
the towns. There were no towns or communities
unless there was a train depot or station. Everyone
knew the bounds of their communities by the next
train depot or station. ff you wanted trouble, all you
need. do was to go outside your community boundary. I listened to stories of long ago school and town
rivalries over girlfriends and boyfriends. There were
even boundaries within one's own community.
At these reunions, it was obvious. as soon as
words were spoken that some had lost their
Appalachian speech and spoke another dialect, not
uppity-just hard to understand.
When individuals would ask. ·•Remember me?" I
would step back at arm's length trying to read their
name tag which was written with a ball point pen. I
think they should be written with a magic marker. in
large print.
Anyway, I would try to look sometimes at a bald
head and try to imagine hair on it. I tried to visualize
how they would look if they were 50 pounds lighter,
45 years younger. without a beard, talking with my
mountain ebonies. Sometimes it required looking at a
60-year old trying to visualize a vivacious 18-yearold without glasses, without wrinkles on their face,
and with the bright shining eyes of youth. The best I
could do was to recall family resemblances and say
you are a Conley, Slooe, Gearheart, Martin, Scott.
etc. and it worked pretty good.
The big lopper was when friends lied to each
other, saying, "you haven't changed a bit." I was told
that a couple of times. I kept saying to myself. I hope
I didn't look this way 40 years ago. J just kept thinking if 1 look the same, why don't I feel the same. Why
am I having all these aches and pains. I now must
wear magnifying glasses to look at all the pictures I
was shown. My hands look like my father's. I can't
think of one single thing that hasn't changed in my
appearance and the way my body feels.
Then things got serious, the topic:o. moved to
Garrett revelers include Adrian Lovely, Mack Slone, Tennyson Turner, Maryland Francis, Cougar Slor and
Eugene Mullins.
New kid in
town
Little Byron Taylor Hammond
t; made his entrance into the world
on Saturday, September 16, and
you wouldn't think such a little
fellow could cause so much
excitement, After all. he just
-.veighcd seven pounds and two
ounces.
But then he is the first child of
Heather and Breck Hammond of
Stanville, and the first grandchild
of Susan and Ronnie Wallen, also
of Stanville. and of Bennie Lynn
and Mike Hammond of Broad
Bollom. near Pikeville. There's
something about betng first that
makes any child special.
Anyway. they brough t little

They wanted to share the experience of giving him his first bath.
and th~y called Heather's parents
to come with a video camera so
they could have a record of this
important event.
They had a change of clothing
all read} and Breck laid it on the
cham!.iug
tnble
while
he
undrc!l d h child to have him
ready lot tit water. But just as he
removl·d li\C undershirt and diaper. the bab) decided it was time
to ··go·· and he wet all over the
changing table. the father and the
clean clothing.
With the camera running.
Breck put him in the water and.
with Heather holding onto him,
he was applying the baby soap
and wash cloth. Heather said.
"Breck, you have to shampoo his
hair." but the father insisted he
didn't have enough hair to shampoo She said he would get cradle
cap if his hair wasn't shampooed,
so the soap got applied to his head
and all the way to the end of his
toes.
Finally, the job was finished
and he was lifted to the nice. sort
waiting bath towd. And about
this time, he dccidt>d to "go"
again. only this ltme he didn'tjust
wet on himself and the nice clean
towel. That wound him up back in
the balh water, hut this time they
didn't have to wash his head
I saw an ad in Sunday's paper
for "The Most Romantic Love
Songs from the '50s."
As I read over the list of titles, I
was surprised that I could still
form the melody in my mind of at
least 75 percent of them. J guess
what real! y makes that such a
remarkable feat is that I now have
trouble remembering what I had
for breakfast this morning. To go
back nearly 50 years and pick out a
tune from the far recesses of what,
by now, must be a nearly used-up
brain. to me, at least, is amazing.
l mean. where have Patti Page's
"Tennessee Waltz," and Jo
· Stafford's "You Belong to Me,"
been stored for all these years?
One has to wonder if today's
kids will be able to do the same
with their music in the year 2050,
or was the music we heard more
special to us than what young people hear today?
If it was, why was it?
That's probably a question to be
debated by rhe Dr. Joyce Brothers'
set. but one reason would have to
be that radio then was our primary
means of musical entertainment.
We didn't have our MTV, and during tnost of the 1950s, we didn't
have TV period. at least not at my
house.
But, everybody did have a
radio, and during the latter part of
my high school years. I had one
right beside my bed and at night
would stare at the little lighted dial
as 1 listened until I'd get drowsy to
far-off stations play songs like
"Sincerely," by the McGuire
Sisters; "Cry," by Johnny Ray; and
"You. You, You,'' by the Ames
Brothers.
Of course, when the rock and
roll was invented, 1 searched the
dial for a show called "Randy's
Record Shop," where a lot of the
so-called "do-wop" was played.
Songs like "Been So Long," by the
Pastels. and "Oh What a Night,"
by The Dells, would fade in and
out as sleep would finally overcome whatever desire I had to listen lO jusl one more song.
But I really must have been
truly inundated with the "romantic
love songs" (isn't that redundant?),
fo~ l can still sing most of the
lyrics to "Honeycomb." by Johnny
Rodgers; ''I'm Walking Behind
You," by Eddie Fisher; and "That
Lucky Old Sun," by Frankie
Laine.
In many cases. unless t'd seen
their pictures in a magazine somewhere. I had no idea what the
singers even looked like. I wouldn't have known George Gibbs
("Kiss of Fire") or Joan Weber
("Let Me Go Lover'') from a load
of coal. Thanks to music videos,
however, today's teens know
exactly what their favorite performers look like ... right down to
their belly buttons.
Anyway, I'm happy I stumbled
upon this ad, and I just might order
the tape. If just reading the song
titles can conjure up these kinds of
memories, what must actually
hearing the songs be like?
again.
1 haven· t learned whether we
will get to see the video but, tight
now. Breck thinks that may be the
only bath he'll ever have.
Still sharing
Little Byron Taylor has two
great-grandmothers who were
childhood friends living near each
other in Betsy Layne Bottom.
When Betty Hall Porter and
Rosceinc Layne Fannin were little girls and playing with dolls,
they never dreamed they would
one da~ share a real live little boy
as a descendant. Betty was married to the late John Porter and
lives in Prestonsburg. Rosceine is
married to Benny Joe Fannin, and
they live at Nancy. just outside
Somerset.

Columbia Gas Customer
ChoiceSM program begins
For the first time. all Columbia
Gas of Kentucky customers now
have the opportunity to choose
who they buy their natural gas
from.
Beginning
Septemher
18,
Columbia's residential and com• mercial customers can now enjoy
an opportunity for savings on the
gas supply cost portion of their
monthly bills through the company's
Customer
CHOICETM
Program. The program makes it
possible for customers to purchase
their natural gas from 11 third-party
supplier, or marketer.
Columbia Gas of Kentucky has
initially approved three natural gas
marketers to participate in the program. They are:
• IGS Energy, 877-444-7427,
www.IGSenergy.com
• Nicole Energy Services Inc..
800-651-8927. www.nicolenergy.
com
• Stand Energy Corporation.
800-598-2046, www.stand-energy.com
Marketers have more flexibility
in their pricing and can offer special pricing options, which may
mean savings for residential customers. There is no deadline for
marketers to be approved. Others
may enter the program at a later
date. Likewise, there is no deadline
for customers to enroll with a marketer.
The CHOICE Progrmn works
by allowing customers to potentially lower the gas cost portion of
their monthly bill. "A customer':-.
bill b comprised of 1\\o primary
components-the deliwry charge
and the cost of gas," sad Stephen R.
Byars. director of external affairs
for Columbia Gas ot Kentucky.
"The deli VCI) charge covers the
co~t of delivering lhe gas to th~
customer·~ home or business.
while the gas cost is the cost of the
natural gas itself," he said.
As u regulted utility. Columbia
Gas buys the gas and sells it to its
customers at the sam~ price. "We
do not mark-up the price of the gas
or make a profit on it,'' Ryars said.
The Customer of CHOICE
Program is voluntary. For those
who choose to purchase their natural gas from a marketer. Columbia
Gas will continue to ddiver the gas
and provide other services, including 24-hour emergency sevice,
billing. pipeline maintenance and
customer service.
And for those who choose not to
switch suppliers. Columhia Gas of
Kentucky will continue to suppl)
and deliver their natural gas, just as
it does now.
Although this concept may be
new to Kentucky consumers. competition within residential markets
is not new, according to Joseph W
Kelly. executive vice president and
chid operating offi<.'er of Columbia
Gas of Kentucky.
"Almost
23
million
Amcrican ...-including 1.8 million
Columbia customers in other
statl!s-aln:ady have the opportunity to take control of Lhl!ir gas bills
through some type of choice program, and the results have hcen
pnsithe," said Kelly.
Industrial
customers
in
Kentucky have had the abilit) to
choose their natural gas supplier
for almost 20 years. This program- the first such initiative
approved by the Kentucky Public
Sc!rvicl! Commission-opens the
door for a similar opportunity for
savmgs to be offered to the compan) 's residential customers.
"The PSC fully supportl-> options
for Kentucky's natural gas customers," said PSC Vice Chairman
Ed Holmes. "The Commission
carefully re\ iewed this program.
and hope that customers who are
interested in having a choice will
begin to educate themselves on the
options this program makes available to them."
Columbia
Gas
o fficials
announced the creation of the
CustomL'r CHOICE Program on
July 19. Smce that time. the company has worked to educate it-. customer~ about the program during a
60-day customer education period.
''In addition to advertisement'>
and bill in-.crh. we have made
do.1cns of personal presentations to
neighborhood associations and
ci\ ic group~ throughout our sen ice
territory," said Byars.

Floyd County native retires as Berea VP
Aoyd County native Rodney C.
Bussey, vice president !'or alumni
relations and development at Berea
College. began early retirement in
August, after a highly successful
career in education, 25 years of
which have been with Berea.
•·Although his official retirement
began September I, Bussey will
continue as a consultant to Berea
College.
"Rod
Bussey·,
greatest
strengths have been his passion for
the miss10n of Berea College and
his compassion for people," said
Berea President Larry D. Shinn.
"Rod is a true son of Berea
C ollege. He has never forgotten his
roots in the coal town of David.
Kentucky, and the growth that
occurred when he studied at Berea
College. He always mentions both
of those influences when telling
' his story' to alumni, donors or
friends of Berea."
Bussey first arrived from the
coal fields of eastern Kentucky on
the Berea's campus 40 years ago to
earn his B.S. in business administration . During his successful fourdecade career in education as a
teacher, fund-raiser, 'administrator,
consultant, and coach, Bussey also
earned the respect of his colleagues.
B ussey's first post, after graduating from Berea in 1963. was as
fourth grade teacher and coach at
the Harbor Country Day School. St
James, Long Island, New York.
where he served from 1964 to
1967. He returned to Kentucky to
serve at the Lexington School.
where he became head of the middle school and assistant headmaster.
At that time, Bussey also
became active as a volunteer with
Berea College's alumni chapter in
Faye tte County. Later, he was
elected to Berea's Alumni Council.
After serving eight years at the
Lexington School and completing
his master's degree at Eastern
Ken tucky University, Bussey
Rtumed to Berea College in 1975,
Rodney C. Bussey
as director of alumni relations.
Whil<.' sernng in that capacit) for
eight years, he brought new life to
tht• alumni program.
Many of the <:omponents that
are so much a part of Berea\ alumni program today. including the
Student Alumni Relatiom Council.
Alumni College. Alumni Tra\el
Program.
and
the
Alumni
Directory, were all initiated or
revived by Bussey.
During his tenurL' as alumni
director. Bussev demon~lrated his
c;kill m nurt~ring relationships
an10ng alumni and Berea College,
hy introducing future alumni to the
college's needs. whtle they arc still
students, and by bnnging alumni
together on campus 01 on tours for
continuous learnmg experience.,.
In recognition of his ~uccessful
work,
the
Council
for
Ad ... ancement and Support of
Education
(CASE)
presented
Bussey with the "Exceptional
Award" for dramatic improvement
in Alumni Relations. The Berea
College Alumni Association also
honored him with the ''Award of
Special ."vferit'' in 1998.
"Rod has served as a mentor and
friend to many. Over thc years. he
has encouraged many Berea
College students and alumni in
their careers and given them insight
in their vocatiOns," states Jackie
Collier Ballinger, '80. current
alumni director.
''When the Alumnt Council
decided to honor Rod in 1998 with
the A\\ urd of Special ~1erit, it was
agreed that there wa:-. none better
who fit the criteria.''
In 1983. Bussey was named vice
president for alumnt rl!l:ttions and
development. the po!-.ition he held
until his retirement After his
appointment as vice prt•sident. he
completed the final phase of
Berea's successful $45,300.000
capital campaign, which ended in
1984.
He also directed the development ami implementation of the
fund raising plan for Berea's
$70.000,000 capital campaign in
1987· 1992. He directed a 43-member team in development, alumni
relations, and publi~ relations,

During Bussey·~ 17 years at the
development helm, the <:ollege

skills. he ha~ shared his expertise

McCall praised the colleges'
increased focus on marketing to

marketing efforts, KCTCS has concentrated on specific populations as
well. such a~ welfare rec1pients.
On a percentage basi~. these

management as the top priority of
KCTCS. ''Governor Patton and lh
General Assembly have established
an ambitious agenda for Kentucky
to reach the national average in
standard of living and quality of life
by lhe year 2020," McCall said.
"The role of postsecondary education in achieving that objective is
to raise Kentuckians' educatiOnal
attamment to the national average.
To get there. Kentucky must enroll
an additional 80.000 students in

Lynching
by SHELDON RICHMAN
Knowledge for
the future
When rt comes to the intellectual capital needed to
' compete in a future economy that will turn on knowledge, Kentucky still Jags.
Despite gains, the commonwealth still ranks in t~e
bottom tier of states in educatiOnal attainment- both Jn
the percentage of adults w1th tugh school diplomas or
equr,·alency certificates and m the increasingly critical
c:~tcgory of the percentage of adults with a college
degn:e.
But all of the news is not bad. A recent Census
Bureau study shows that the commonwealth bas made
some g81ns.
It found an estimated 78.2 percent of Kentucky adults
age 25 and older had earned high school diplomas or
equrvalency certificates as of March 1999. That is an
nnprovement over the 76.8 percent es!Jmated in 1995
Additionally. the study found that as of 1999, the percentage of Kentuckianl. who had earned at least a bachelor's degree stood at 19.8 percent, up from the 19.3 percent recorded in 1995.
So there is something to Cl!lebrate.
But while the stale has eked out modest gains in educational attainment, educational attainment elsewhere
also has climbed \"hat that means is Kentucky remains
woefully behind.
Nationwide the study esumated R3.4 percent of adults
have attained a high school education - an all-time
high. Kentucky tied Texas in its percentage of adults
wJth a high school education with only Mississippi and
West Virgtnia behind.
And as for college, nearly 25 percent of Americans
age 25 and older now have a college degree co~pared
wl!h Kentucky's 19.8 percent. In fact. Kentucky IS one
of only six states that have an adult population with less
than 20 percent college graduates.
Of course, with higher educational attainment one
can expect to receive hrgher income. But Increasingly, as
knowledge becomes the most valuable currency, the success of a state in competing for the jobs of the future will
hinge on educational attainment.
.
For policy makers and educators, the challenge ts
twofold. First, they must make sure the reforms m edu·
cation - those enacted for elementary and secondary
schools and the more recent ones for higher education
-are '>'orkmg and are on track. Secondly, they must
find new v. ays to reach those who leave h1gh school and
new ways to assure that more high school graduates go
on to col\ege and succeed there.
And all Kentuckians must support education all the
while demanding high standards and accountability.
Too much ts at stake to do otherwise.
- Kentttcky Post
-Letters t~e E ditorApplications for tobacco trust are in the mail
My fellow Kentucki,1ns·
I am taking thts opportunrty to alert all
Kentuckians that ind1viduab or cnttlle~ who produced
tobacco in 1999 arc cligthlc for C11mpensation fwm
the National Tobacco Growers Sculement Tru~t.
Last year was a great succ-.:ss, as o\·er 250,()(:10
checks totaling more than $109 m1llion were distrib·
utcd by the trust to Kentuck) fanners
The 2000 tru!>t fund, like la~t }C:l.f, will be <.ltvtdcd
equally into thirds, wrth the quotn owner, the tndt' tdual or entity that controlled the land, and the tndtvtdual or entrty that provided the labor to produce burlc)
tobacco in 1999 each receiving a thtrd. The 2000 dtstribution is based on the 1999 burley tobacco crop.
Appltcauon~ were mailed to farm operator~ on
Monday, September 18 The Application is d1ffcrent
in appearance, but much cas1cr to fill out this year
Like last year, only one form may be completed for
each farm that produced hurley tobacco m 1999
(which are identified by the USDA b) a specific serial number).
Only one form per USDA farm 'erial number has
been sent to farm operators. In other words. tenant·
growers. quota owners and those who controlled a
particular growing fann in 19Y9 all have to. sign the
same application tor the same f:~rm to recetve compensation from the trust.
Quota owners were marlcd a lcuer adv1smg them
to whom the application was ma1led, hut tenant fanners will not receive direct commumcation ~cause
there are no complete records on them. It IS cnhcal
that all three group!- get together to complete the
application.
.
It's worth repeating that nil three group~ w11l share
equally in Kentucky's share of the trust. whtch for
2000 1s approxtmately $K4 milhon. and wt\1 hlo.:cl) be

reduced 12 percent by adjustment factors built into
the trust. An :~dditional $40 million was allocated by
the General Assembly to supplement Phase I1 payments this year. These addrtional funds during this
year's total amount available for disbursement to
$114 million. roughly equal to the distribution last
year. The quota owner's share is based on their 1999
hasic quota, while the growing farm and growers/tenant's share is based on payment pounds, an average of
a fam1's effective quota and actual marketings for
l9Q9.
The applications must be completed, signed and
postmarked for return to the Kentucky Tobacco
Settlement Trust Corporation no later than October
31. There will be no extensions
Some technical terms need to be addressed. Those
who arc eligible to rece1ve funds from the trust will
have "shared in the risks of production." These are the
people who had financial gain from tobacco prod~c
tion onlv if the crop was sold. There are other partie·
ulars ahout completing the application and help is
avatlablc by calling 1-877-549-2537, and information
IS available on the rnternet at www.kytobaccotrust.
statc.ky.us.
We est1mate that there arc I 30,000 Kentuckians
who partictpated in tobacco production in 1999 and
shared in the risks of production. We ask all of our cit·
izcns to help us ensure that those who were involved
m producmg tobacco during 1999 learn about this
financial opportunity and work together to get applications in on time. If we work together, we can make
sure that this important segment of Kentucky's econQmy receives 1ts fair share of funds from this national
trusl.

The most refreshing reporter on t.elcvision,
ABC's John Stossel, is the target of nothins
less than the modem equivalent of a lynchin~J
Stossel is the popular investigative reporter
who focuses on scientifically dubious consumerism and environmentalism. On a recent
20120 segment he took up - and debunked the widely believed proposition that organic
foods are safer than conventional foods.
Unfortunately, his report contained an error.
He erroneously believed and stated that an
independent lab had tested organic and conventional produce. It turned out that the test
had not been done. Instead, tests had been done
on chicken. (The report was limited to produce.) It was a case of confusion, which persisted so long that ABC rebroadcast the se ment.
As a result of the error, ABC suspended the
segment's producer and Stossel apologi1.ed on
the atr. Although conceding the error, he did
not Withdraw tus conclusion that orgamc produce is no safer than other produce. He didn't
need to -- it IS true.
As Steven Milloy, a bJOstatistician affiliated
with the Cato lnstltute, points out, all produce
- including the organic variety - has traces
of pesticides, but none present a health risk.
The traces, he writes, are "within levels set by
the Environmental Protection Agency - and
the EPA standards are set many hundreds of
times below levels at which nouccable effects
may be observed in laboratory anrmals,"
Milloy cites Mt. Sinai School of Medicint
physician Philip Landigran- a critic of pesti·
cides -- who says no one has found an actual
case of any disease caused by the legal usc of
pesucides.
This has not kept the Environmental
Working Group from demanding that Stossel
be hanged metaphorically from the nearest oalc
tree. EWG wants ABC to fire him forthwith.
Luckily, ABC knows better. Stossel's reports
are not only refreshingly different from any
other reporting in the major media today, they
are also popular with viewers.
The irony is that if an environmentalist were
flred every time he falsely alarmed the public,
there'd be no one to run the multimillion dollar
lobbying monolith. Stosscl made one error. ~
contrast. the environmental movement has a
long record - long exposed - of pushing
junk science as a way to empower bureaucracy
and themselves.
What's revealing about this story is how it
has been reported. Nowhere is the ma.Jor media
more biased than when they deal with environmental issues. A CNN bigwig has said that
there is only one. side to the envrronmental
story.
Most reporters operate from a presumption
m favor of envLrOnmental activists, "consumer
advocates," and government control, and
against private enterprise and free market*
(The very label "consumer advocate" is laden
with question-begging bias. Spokesmen for the
environmental lobby are generally assumed to
be objective, having only the welfare of the
public a.t heart. They apparently have no career
ambitions or desire for attention. not to mention higher incomes.
In contrast, industry spokesmen are
assumed to be lying to defend the prolits of
reptilian businessmen, while tndcpendent
researchers who disagree wJth environmental
orthodoxy are treated like prostitutes.
The bias is bad enough. What's worse is that
reporters. editors and producers have been at ~.
so long that they don't even see it. In a Ne-1'
York Times article on the Stossel controversy,
reporters Jim Rutenberg and Felici~y Bnrri.n~er
wrote, "Mr Stossel is an anomaly tn telev1s1on
journalism. Reporters are generally forced to
keep their tdeologies to themselves. Mr.
Stossel is allowed to make his vie\-..s known."
Do they honestly believe that most reporters
"keep therr ideologies to themselves"? When
was the last time one of them confessed error
after reporting an environmental alarm? And
where is the evidence that Stossel subordinates
his reporting to his personal beliefs?.It's a mistake to assume th;lt because Stosselts the only
one honest enough to own up to having a poin~
of view, be's the only reporter who has one.
If a reporter begins by disuusting cap~talism
and echoes any environmental scare, taking the
activists' statements at face value and pcnnitting rebuttals only by people who can be characterized as greedy - that's considered fair
reporting. But if John Stossel marshals evidence to debunk bogus claims, clearmg businessmen of charges that they knowingly and
with malice aforethought try to kill the1r customers- that's ideological bias.
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

The service
of angels
by DR. DENNIS J . PRUTOW
STERLING, KANSAS
Angels are messengers with a
clear job description. They are
"ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those
who will inherit salvation"
(Hebrews 1:14).
The devil tried to tempt Jesus
with the ministry of angels. He took
Jesus to the pinnacle of the temple,
told Him to jump, and quoted from lltl
Psalm 91. "If You are the Son of
God, throw Yourself down; for it is
wntten, 'He will command His
angels concerning You': and 'On
their hands they will bear You up,
so that You will not strike Your foot
against a stone"' (Matthew 4:6).
Actually, the devil misquoted
Psalm 91.11-12. The promise is
one of daily care in the midst of
everyday life. "He will give His
angels charge concerning you, to
guard you in all your ways They
will bear you up in their hands. that
you do not strike your foot against
a stone." Angels have the JOb of • J
keeping those who will inherit salvation, from stumbling.
Jesus is the great and precious
stone presented to us in Scripture (I
Peter 2:7). To those who disbelieve,
Christ is "a stone of stumbling and
a rock of offense" (I Peter 2:8,
Isaiah 8: 14). Angels have the extraordinary work of assisting those
who will inherit salvation. They
keep them from stumbling over
The Rock. Jesus Christ. What a service'

game~.
Reflecting on all of this, I sort
Wl'nt hack in the past her~· in Floyd
County and thought of'" hat we
had to play basketball in, baseball
on and cow pasture like facilities
for football.
Standing out in my mind was
the old "cracker box" gym~ that
dolled Floyd County. They were
.anything hut up to date. All the
county school g) m~ were built
from the same design and if you
were in one, you were in all of
them (with the exception of the old
Wayland gym).
Betsy Layne had the infamous
fan shaped backboards, but :.o did
all the gyms. I recall Betsy Layne's
becau e one was JU~t barely hanging and seemed ready to fall.
The gym had bleachers upstair'
as well as down. If 200 people
crowded into the facility, 11 wal) a
packed house.
Of course, my best memory was
of the old Manin gym where J
spent a lot of time. The old coreboard that turned red to let the
teams know it "'as the final minute.
The upstairs seats that were so
uncomlortuble. The far end of the
gym (upstairs) was reserved for the
band The band then didn't show
up in street clothes, but full band
apparel.
Dead spots! The old gyms had
them. On a break down the floor. if
the hall hit the wrong spot, then it
stayed behind while you 1an
upcourt.
Garrett. Maytown, and
McDowell gyms were on the same
scale. They were all small, fan
shaped backboards, funny looking
scoreboards and the concession
81 stands never stayed in the )>arne
location.
Another thing I remember was
the great players who came out of
those small gyms. I recall some
great games between rh alries.
There '~as the yelling from respective cheering sections, hut when it
was over. it was over and everyone
was still friends. How unlike
today'
In 1957 Prestonsburg. who's
gym had burned, received the first
"modem day'' gym when the lieldhouse opened with a doubleheader
t between county schools. The present day "facility is still one of the
best gymnasium's in the mountains
today. They can update all they
want to. but there is not a bad seat
in the Prestonsburg gym.
I remember the first time I
walked into the new gym and I
thought, "we have finally arrived!''
h was beautiful and a great place
to pia) basketball.
Later. Betsy Layne receh ed the
dome gymnasium as progress
seemed to have come to the moun• tains. Later Martin, Wayland.
Maytown and Garrett would consolidate and form Allen Central
and the great J.E. Allen Fieldhouse
that stands on the campus today.
McDowell received a new facility but it did not compare w1th
what the other county schools had
to play in. A metal conc;tructed
gymnasium .arrived on the campus
of McDowell. but again, the size
and style meant little, it was the
quality of players and teams who
played there.
The most recent addition to our
upgrade of gymnasiums was South
ond half and a free thro''· Whitaker
extended the1r lead to 32-19 before
Burchett did it on the defen~he end of the
floor as well as the offense.
She scored on n l.ty in, stole the ball
and scored, and heat the rest of the field
up the floor for nn easy lay in She led a
13 0 run that tied the g.tme at 32-32, and
1t \hiS tied agam at 34-34.
Turno,ers hurt the Lady Blackcab in
the founh quarter as they had seven mistakes in nine posscsc;ions. The shaky ball
handling allowed ""hitakcr to pull out to
fl 52-4o lead. Adams had 10 turnovers in
the fourth quarter alone.
Wh1le turnovers plagued the Lady
Blackcats late, lack of rebounding on the
detensive end was a nightmare in the first
half.

CLEMENTE'S PLAQUE TO BE REPLACED
e
by AMANDA VINCENT
It was a sweet homecoming for Brewco Motorsports driver Kevin
Grubb. Gruhb finished fifth in front of fiiends and family in the Busch race
at Richmond International Racewa) oo Friday night
"It feels good.'' Grubb said. "I got to sleep in my own bed last night and
thm alv.ays helps."
Grubb lives in Mechanicsville, Va.. less than 10 miles from RJR.
Grubb brought back ''Hunter," his favorite car, for the rnce. "Hunter'' was
destroyed in a fiery crash at Rtchmond in May and was completely rebuilt.
"Humer'' was named after David Hunter. a close friend of team owner
Clarence Brewer. Jr. who died last year.
Casey Atwood. Grubb's Brewco teammate, had a much tougher time
Friday night, bringing back a 34th-place finish. Things looked brighter for
Atwood Saturday night. He moved up from a 35th starting position to finish
19th m hts Winston Cup debut Saturday night in a Bill Elliott owned Ford.
Atwood plano; to compete in ,\ few more Winston Cup events thts season
bctore moving up full-time to pilot a Ra) Evemhan1 owned Dodge in 2001.
-
It's the same old story lor Jell' Green. If he doesn't win, he at least finishes m the top five. building even more on an already astronomical point lead
in the Busch Senes championship rnce.
Green linishcd .second to Winston Cup regular Jeff Burton Friday night
Going into the mce Green already had a 604-point lead; after the race the
lead was stn·tchcd to 649 with six races remaining.
"This ts u dream come true for me to have a season like this," Green
said
Green could just sit out of three races and still capwre the championship
if he reall) \\anted to. but I really doubt that would happen. The question is
no longer, ··~ ho wtll be the 2000 Busch Series champion'?" Fans are watching now to Sl'l.' who will be the 2000 Busch Series runner-up.
Friday night wa.s a good night for the Green family with two brothers in
the top-25 and all three in the top-20. David Green fm.ished the race in lOth

Are we halfway

by STEVE LeMASTER
SPORTS WAITER
The 2000 high school football season is halfway into
the record books and now I find myself wishing it wasn't so far gone.
High school football, well. just lootball in general,
has a very special place in my heart. The day Kentucky
high c;chool football overtakes Kentucky high school
ba<;ketball in the populadty category may never come
but until then I'll still be supporting the pigc;kin sport.
Don't get me wrong. 1 love Kentucky high school
basketball and I'm a fan of the sport of basketball.
However. football is my favorite spor1 although baseball was my first. Isn't baseball the first love of every
young boy'!
l11e coaches we have coaching high school football
in the state of Kentucky, as with the coache" we have
coaching basketball. are for the mo~t, exceptional
hers and are inclined in the ...port(s) they coach.
The area is full of very talented gridiron coaches.
All four of our county coaches. Kevin Spurlock or
Central, Ted George of Betsy Layne. John
·sell of Prestonsburg and an upstan first-year
h. Nathan Jones of South Floyd High School, arc

JU!>l for the record I still suy the upcommg
Paintsville-Pikeville football game CQuld give way for
a Tiger:- upset win over the Panthers.
Paintsville's Matt Brown running against the
Panther defense and the Tiger defense stepping up to
stop the multi -weapon Pikeville offense will be the
deciding factors in the game. Who knows how that
game will go? A Paint~ville-Pikc\tlle game in any sport
is always considered a showdown. Can't wait to see
how it ends!
But what a season it's bl'en. It's halfway over and
La\\Tcnce County\, Michael West i~ on pace to surpass
his 2.000-plus yardage mark of la..,t season.
A young man here in Floyd County who is one of
my personal favorites to watch v.hcn he'~ running the
football is Allen Central sophomore James Prater. The
fleet-footed Prater is a speedy scat back who doubles
over on defense as a safety.
Prater also docs Vel) well returning pums for the
Rebels. He is one of those real :tthletic kids who you
pull for to succeed both on the gridiron and in life.
All-County Team
One thing worth looking forward to at the end of the
gridiron season here in Floyd County is The All County
Football team selections.
A~ you watch these young men all season long and
you see the ones who ar~ really g1ving their all, it's nice
to know that you can have a hand in helpt11g to reward
them.
Players are ju~t like anyone else. they need motivation. they set goals and they mo\1 often have or should
have high hope~ of auuining them.
Good luck to all of the area coa~.:hes and their teams
as they begin this second hall of the 2000 high school
football -.e.a:.on. It's a nice ride, ho) '·but just like coach

TO MR. ANON
It isn't often that we print anony-
mous letters, but since this one refers
to a recent editorial of ours, we do
that just now:
"Your editorial of September 8,
which slaps at Senator Morton for
displaying loyalty to President
Eisenhower rather than to the people
of eastern Kentucky is not in order,
and I believe, politically motivated. I
think we now have the two best representatives in the Senate that
Kentucky has had for many years.
You jump to criticize Morton, but
may I ask how many tunes did our
supposedly great Senator, Alben
Barkley, put the Democratic Party
first before considering the people of
eastern Kentucky. I suspect that your
biggest gripe against Morton is that
he is a Republican.
·
"YES, I AM A REPUBLICAN."
(Two facts we would like for the
writer to consider: ( 1) We were too
kind in that editorial to Senator
Cooper, a Republican, to suit some
Democrats; (2) either Cooper or
Morton is wrong about this matter fl
loyalty to the President rather than to
the people of eastern Kentucky.
(Signed) NORMAN ALLEN.)

There has been considerable talk
about the United States switching to
the metric system of weights arid
measures. That bothered us not at all
until the National Geographic
Society pointed out what the change
would do to some of our time-honored expressions. For instance:
A miss is as good as 1,693
meters.
I wouldn't touch that with a
8.049-meter pole.
All Texans wear 37,8S3-Iitre
hats.
God's little .4047 of a hectare.
It's all wool and .9144 of a meter
wide.
And. says the society: "Your wife
or girlfriend isn't going to like it
when you refer to her fascinating
measurements as 92-61-921 She
probably will hold fast to the old
mea.o;urements and doubtless you
couldn't budge her 2.54 centimeters."

Children:
To give or not to
give tnedications?
by OR. MABLE ROWE LINEBERGER, PHD
Sin~.:c: I have :1 maJOr interest with 1!du~.:at10nal and clinical
background of ~ OI king w11h ch1ldren and their families, a study
described th1' winter 10 the Journal of American Medical
Association caught my nttenuon. The results reportedly found
that an mcreasing number of parents were accepting ··putting
their toddlers on psy..:hiatrk drugs"
Of the more than 200.000 children followed across the United
States. there had been more than a 50 per,ent increase in the usc
of these d111gs hct"een 1991 and JQ95. What do you think ahout
the questhlll t"~f "should children of any age be given medicarionT' Should youngsters wuh symptoms such as hypuactivity
and anxiety be treated With drugs like Prozac or Ritalin or do parents try tn cope w1th these problems through therapy, communi- •
cation and n lot of patience?
Of course, expem gn\·e different reacuons to the outcome of
the stud_y. 1 he cha1rman of th~.: psych1t1try department of Harvard
Medical School lelt that the !.ludy re .. ealed "a troubling trend.
There is no emptrical evtdence to support psychotropic drug
treatment m very young children." Plus, he expressed Valid concerns that such treatment could impair brain development.
In contrast, the response of the chairman of the Arnencan
Psychtatric Association's Council on Adolescents and Their
Fam1ltcs wa:., "'(mcd•cation~) can be extremely helpful for some
children, C\en qu1te )'Oung ch1ldren," as long as they are prescnbcd only :~ftt>r a comprehensive evaluat10n and are used in
conJunctiOn \\ ith other therapy
The rc:.earchc.r~ sugg.C!:i\ed that the increase is partly due to a
grow111g .1cccph1n..:e of psychmtnc drugs and al:.o to the fact that
more chtldrcn arc auendmg day care, where care providers often
do not have tune or pat.ien..:e to gtve special nttenuon to children
who repeatedly misbehave In turn, parents ~uc likely to be under
rrc~sure \1) d'"l whatever ll:i Ut:CiilOd necessary to get their children
to c:onform to sch0ol standards of good behavior.
·n1e psychiatnst 1moh•ed w1Lh ch1ldrcn and families felt that
the usc of the drugs ts tncreasmg 1n part because doctors arc gctung better at diagnosmg behavior dtsordcrs at an early age.
The d1~~.:ussion of th1"S ~;rudy's outcome remmded me of a couple of ktd'> that have been ..een O\cr the past year One is Tob}. a
real cute, blonde-headed, b1g talker. about 2-l/2 year old. He was
so bnght and his level of mental functton1ng seemed to be a miracle. :.in<"c Ins biologkal m1lther had used various drugs while
pregnant With him A h_. pothe~is was that hts general lack of
bcha\ iors relct!cd \1) the prohnhle imp;lCt of his mother's suht<mce abuse on h1~ brain and nerve development while he was m
the womb. Toby had bel!n tak10g Ritalin for about a year, due to
hts C;.ttrcmcly s•gnificant actin •-out behaviors.
However, Ius child psychwtnst felt that he and his adoptive
mother wotlld benefit from foliO'' mg n behavwral modsfication
program, focusing on increasmg h•s impulse control They both
did so well He still comes by occas•onnlly to play wJth thtngs
from the magic closet and to vi:;ll with Dr. Mable.
Another chtld, a 6-ycar-old boy who comes to mmd. is
Dern~k. H1s mother called for 'Ill appointment because h1s
kindc!rgartcn teacher insisted that he was "hyperactive and JUSt
had to take med1cation."' Although his parents felt there was a
prob!em, they did not al:cept automatically that he "had to ha\·e''
rncdicauon The) were \'ery willing to follow the behavior modIfication plan based on controlling h1s acting-out behaviors and
concernmg hts parents' lack of adequate parenting skills.
An effort was also made to mcludc his teacher. However, his
teacher apparently could not accept that he did not "ha\·e to
have' medicauon and d1d not always follow through.
Ba:;cd on lus behav•ors at home, Derrick showed that he
responded well to the principles for behavioral change and d1d
not nl!cd nH:dicatton. He was not "hyperactive."
That i:- not tn say that teachers arc not helpful in recommendIng that a y(1ung child have professiOnal psycho!Qgical serv1ces
An excellent example i~ Tyrone, a 10-ycar-old boy who had been
threatemng and d1splaymg very aggressive behaviors at this elementary school. Even though tus older brothers had a history of
Attention Deficit-Hyperactive DJsordcr and had taken Ritahn for
years. Tyrone revealed mult•ple indteators of clinical depression
He responded well to an anti-depressant medication prescribed by a child psych1atnst. Hts parents gradually learned to
follow u hchavioral modification program and really learned to
.:hange their mappropriate parcntin~g tcdmiques. An?ther. factor
for this t'amllv• was the parents' clifhcult manta! relatiOnShip
"T"
,
Yuu may recall the 8-ycar-old boy who had !~urctte s
D1sorder and depres,ion and responded well to medtcauons.
Typ1cal of such tam1lics, tl wa~ very difficult for his mother to
accept that there \\a:> a po~s1b11ity that HER son needed me~lca
t•on. However, after several weeks of followmg the behav•oral
mod1ficatwn program wuh nuntmal posi11ve results and conllnuing cornplamts from his teachers ahout .h•s behaviors. Jer_emy's
mother relucrnntly "gave in" to has seetng a chtld psychmtnst,
who prc~cribcd medications.
.
You cannol imagine the delight they displayed lh~t Jeremy IS
now doing satisfactorily in school this fall and their home environment does not ha\ c the chaos that it dtd before. Typical of
children who have been 10 therapy, Jeremy had big tears in h1s
eyes the other cvcnmg when mention was made of his evenrually not needmg to come for any more sesstons
Needles~ to .dy, it ~~ very difficult for nny of us to accept that
OUR child IS not perfect, much less •s m need of a. medication
and espeCially for one that ts intended t<> alter the chtld'~ behaviors. Then there are the tssue!o of "•dent1fymg and labehng" the
child as hav 10 g "'o;<Jmcthing · wrong wllh h1m. lt seems to me t~at
it IS much more harmful for parents not to do what the chJid
need!> so that he 1s not labeled as the ''trouble maker" or the
"class problem.'
.
.
.
If your child were identified ac; l1aV1ng JUvemlc d~abet~s,
would you not gn c him the necessary treatment such as mc;ultn,
because you d1d not want hun Jabele_d as a d1abcuc? But, as
stressed by the national expert. all fam1ly members usually ~ccd

Laynes have reunion
Five generations
Five generations of the Everett Hall family gathered recently at their
family home at Bevinsville. Represented are Hall, 86; his daughter, Jo
Ann West; granddaughter, Elizabeth Wendler; great-granddaughter,
Amber Miler; and great-great-grandson, Matthew Miler, four months.
Hall's descendants live in Michigan. The patriarch1 who is the widower of Carrie Hall, has eight children, 20 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren and one areat-areat·qrandchild. He is retired from Island
Creek and Inland Steel and is clerk at Joppa Old Regular Baptist
Church at Melvin.
Rx for depressio11:
Your love and doctor's care
Question: My son-tn-law has
been sad lately and he often gets
angry. He seems to sleep a lot,
too. All of these symptoms have
been going on for about two
months. My daughter and I think
he is depressed, but he won't go
to the doctor.
Would you give us some information about depression'?
Answer: Depression afflicts
nhout five percent of the adult
population at any one time, and
about 30 percent of indivtduals
have it at some time during their
lives. Therefore, I'd call de pres·
s10n a very common problem.
All of us have episodes when
we are sad for a few days and
"'mope" around. Sometimes we
can be irr:itablc as well. TI1ese
episodes are usua11y triggered by
a spec1fic e\·ent :-ouch as the death
of a pet, a "'best friend" mov1ng
away, or problems at work. After
a few weeks, the person adjusts
and returns to his/her normal disposition.
Perhaps something like thts is
the cause for your son-in-law;s
change 1n mood. On the other
hand, he may actually have
depression as you suspect The
following may help you dec1de if
he is actually depressed.
A depressed person will have
some or all of the followmg characteristics:
• a sad or irritable mood most
of the day nearly every day, for
the past two weeks or more:
• a markedly dtminished inter·
est or pleasure from most activities:
• a significant weaght loss or
weight gam:
• difficulty :.lceping or sleepIng much more than usuul;
• general fatjguc and a loss of
energy:
• feelings of worthlessness
and/or feelings of guilt:
• diminished ability to think or
to concentrate; and/or
• recurrent thoug}ns of death or
~UICJde
Many medical problems.
although ~eemingly unrelated,
can be associated with depresSIOn. At times, the only outward
sign of depression may be a
headache. backache or indige~
tion. The depressed person tends
to focu:s his or her attention on
those little signals our bodies
constantly send nnd blow them
out of proportion
Depressed people often complam of consltpation or diarrhea
and stomach pains. They might
say: "My stomach growled and I
have some gas. Oh, no! Am I
going to die from stomach trouble?" The real message is: "I feel
really bad about myself r want
ancntion to help me feel less
worthies:..''
Unfortunately. about 70 percent of depre:.sed Individuals
don't get treatment for their disease. This results in unnecessary
suffering for the Individual. as
well as stress in the family.
I hope you will encourage your
son-in-law to sec hi~ doctor about
his mood hecau~e there is effectiVe treatment for almost everyone with deprcss1on. Most treat~
mcnt centers on the usc of medicine, and there arc currently more
than 20 different type5 available.
Unfortunately, none of them
gives instant rchef. It can rake
from one tCl SIX weeks before the
depression ~tans to improve.
It IS also often helpful to have
some short-term supportive counseling. 10 add1t1on to taking antidepressant med1cine. The important first tcp •s lett1ng him know
that you care for him and about
him. The seconu step 1"- getting
h1m to 1he doctor.

Fall harvest time
by BONNIE ERICKSON
RADfORD UNIVERSITY
Thoughts of gardens, cooking
and canning don't necessarily
always start visions of grandeur
dancing in one's head, they"re more
likely to conjur \.isions of work. We
think back on the old wood cook
stOfes, women in bonnets, men in
stra\1. hats Md "'ashing jars from
daylight to dark. The work is not
always ca.;;y, and the sun ~.:an take sts
toll on the body.
However. according to one ao;sociate with the Appalachian Regional
Studies
Center
at
Radford
University, the rewards are so great
the \I.OTk is worth it. Jim .Miniclc,
also an instructor of English at RU,
says, ''There i!> something phenomenal alx1ut seeing seeds sprout. People
say tt's therapeuuc, and 11 is."
Respected in the local area for h1s
knowledge of blueberry gardening,
Mm1ck believes gardening is ··using
eMrgy to :.upply your body energy.
It just makes a circle in our lives."
Growing and canning a family's
food tli rhc most economical means
to feed a family, and tho~c harvestmg and preparing the food for
preservation know what's in 1t. A
ganien is lhc cheapest food source,
and it's berter for you. You know
what went onto the plant~ 10 the gard~n and you know how they were
cared for."
Minick also believes that organac
gardening is certamly not anything
new to ·ocicty. "I had an 8 1-year-old
farmer tell me the way I did my gardening was the way they did it 50
and 60 years ngo.'"
Less or no use of chemicals, fcrtJhzers and pesticides is how the
older generation gardened. "'I behcve
there was less cancer being reported
back then, too,'' Minick says.
GanJcning. like everythmg else,
require) commitment to the proouct.
TI1c one comrmtrncnt nobody hkes
to think nhout is that of spendtng
ume •weeding tht: g.lrdcn. Minick
doesn't believe there 1s n miracle
cure for weeds but has found that
mulch placed around the plants and
10 the rows, cuts tremendously into
weed growth.
When it c:omcs ttmc to harvest the
fruits of your labor, families may
also want to think about actually
starting their gardens over in the fall,
Minrck says. "You don't necessanly
need to bum the garden off. you can
plant garlic or even a cover crop of
winter rye.''
Winter rye is a grain product that
protects and enric~ the soil. Garhc
is something chat will grow yearround and QJl serve several purpo:;es, both food-wise and heallh-wise.
''You can plan your garden and it
can wor1t for you all year," Minick
says.
Beginning gardeners may not
realize there are foods that can even
be grown in dimly lit spots of the
gnrtlen or yard. Lettuce. !'lspberries,
spinach and the Shiitake mushroom
all can be grown tn the shade,
Minick has found. "All of your :-pace
can be used wisely and with produ.civJty," he said.
Barbara Chrisley, professor of
food and nuuition at RU, has done
research through the Virginia
Cooperative Extension offices and
offers addttional pointers and tips on
harvesting the garden.
• Hanrcst vegetables at their peak.
Check garden often, pick vcgct.ables
when ripe and use ns soon as possib1c.
• When cannin1;. make sure
equipment is clean. W~h jars and
1ing bands in hot. soapy water. Do
not usc cracked jars. Do not reuse
lids.
• If canning fruit, select only the
best of the crop. Use finn but not
ovenipc fruit.
• r-rcezing foods slows the growth
of bacteria that cause food spoilage.
Select only containers especially
made for freaing food (i.e.. freezer
bags, plasth~ freezer container:. or
-;pecial freezing jar.>.)
• 'fomates can be cooked. pureed
or JUiced before freezing Choose
young, tender tomatoes.
• AJways wash. peel and trim
nway bruised areas on any foods.
Minick concludes that when it's
llmc to stan thinking about next
year's ..:rops, pe.ople could actually
plant lelluce or greens in September.
This would aiJow families to have a
salad through most of the winter season.

Poor attic ventilation often
the cause of roof problems
Building expert" report that a prime cause behind premature fa1lurc
of residential roof., i<> a luck ol proper ventilation in the attic area .
Usual!) thi~ type of ventilation is provided through louvered vent
openings in the gabled area of the roof. or throu~m a combination of
eave and ridge vcnh.
Moisture problems:
Excesshe moisture accumulation du~· to inadequate attic ventilation is often the culprit behind roof dcterrordtion and attic mold
growth. [f moisture settles in the attic before air movement can guide
that ..,vater vapor to the outsid~. conden-.atton can o~..cur on the underside of a roof dcd
As the condensed water vapor drips off the underside of the roof
deck. it can soak insulation and encourage molcl growth.
Left unchecked. this can lead to the roumg and warping of wood
in the roof cavity. a\ \\Cil a~ peeling paint. crack10g pla:.ter. and
unhealthy aJT quality in the home·~ interior.
A common cause of mmsture accumulation in the attic space also
occurs during home remodeling. 111-fittmg ur improperly installed
kitchen and bathroom exhaust pip;:s and fixtures cun allow moisture
to leak directly into the roof cavily, rather than venting through the
auk to the outdoor...
Homeowners may unknowingly hamper "cntilation by closing
gable vents during the winh:r months or placing items in the attic thai
block the flow of air through the vents.
Because venting is needed during both warm and cold weather seasons. be sure to keep every :tttic vent open and unobstructed at all
times.
Heat problems:
lnadequat~ ventilation l.'an ah.o l'~tuse heat-related prohlcrn,. In

Tips for installing new vinyl tiles
by JIM NEIDNER
FoR News USA
(NUE) - New nooring can
make you feel like you're in a
whole new room. These days. it's
ea-;y to do it yourself. Try vinyl tiles
for a great look.
First. consider tllc current floor.
If it is in poor condition. a new subfloor may be necessary. You can do
that by covering the floor with 1/4inch plywood. nailing it every four
inchel>.
If a subfloor is not necessary,
prepare the base by removing dirt.
grease and w~x Make sure the floor
is level and smooth. Fill in low
spots or rough areas with floor lev·cler. Then screw down squeaky
boards and fill hole~. Replacing
base molding will make it easier to
install the floor and give it a professional touch.
Now plan the layout of the tile.
Make your own paper template as a
pattern to cut around oddly shaped
objects such as pipes and vents.
Using a tape measure. find the center point of the room. Draw a chalk
line in each direction forming a
cross at the center point. You should
test fit a ro\.\ of tiles from the center
point to each wall. AdJUSt the center
point so that the tiles against the
opposite walls are the same width.
If you're laying self-stick tile,
peel off the hacking. Set the tiles
carefully • once placed, they are difficult to adjust. Press the tiles tightly against each otl1er. Starting at the
center point, lay the ules one piece
at a time. working toward a corner.
Repeat from the center toward other
corners
If your choice is dry back tile,
you will need vinyl tile cement.
Apply tht! cement in a four square
foot area at a time. using a notched
trowel. Allow the cement to partially dry until it is tacky to the touch.
Then begin laying tiles. starting at
the center point. Again. lay the tiles
tightly against each othC'r.
Finally. it's time for trimming
and clean up. Cut tiles to fit into the
spaces near walls and around pircs.
Clean up any excess cement. No\v
you're ready to move furnitun: back
into your "new" room.

destgned to bring together eH:I}thing needed for home unprove·
ment except the tools and matenals.
It connects to FAQs and estimates
how long JObs will take depending

and shopping lists of the necessary
materials. step-by-step instructions

(NUE)- At last, you',.c saved up the do'"" payment, ~cured the
loan and purcha,ed the home of your dream~. You've even gotten the
kids excited about their new neighborhood. But you and your family
need a host of new apphanccs.
With all the different brands, models and w.trranties to choose
from, where do you begin'?
The easiest choice - although potl'lltlally more expensive is to
completely replace the kitchen l·or example, a critical place to start
may be a ne\\ dishwasher. You can spend a<> little as $150, but you
will need to prcwa... h the dishe by hand before loading them in the
machme. For $350- <;60(), ho"ever, your unit \\Ill be' ahle to clean
d1shes e\·en .,.. Hh the most 'tubbom dned-on food.
If you need a new refngerntor, note that most new models arc nois·
icr than older unit-.. The foam thern1al msulntion used to increase
encrg)' efficiency makes a poor sound b.utier. lnstallmg carpet or
sound-absorbing ceiling tile on the wall, howe\ er. can go far to reducing the hangs and shimmks your new cco-fndgc might be pn>ducing.
When purchasing a new <lppliancc. make sure to pay attenhon to
the manufacturer·., v.arranty. The longer the warranty. the longer you
won't have to fac~ any unexpected b1lls.
You nlso cm1 save money by repamng appliances instead of replacing them. Before tossing that old applian~.:e. you should ha"e it
inspected and get a \\ ritten e'>timate on repa1rs. Some appliance retailers will offer to pay pan of an m~pe~t1on charge if you purchase a
replacement un11 from them
If your washer and dryer are on the frit7~ you might also want to
inve... tigate buying new and used pans. It rmght even he in your bt!st
interest to buy pans before you need them. fot a Sears or Whirlpool
electric dryer. you might want to purchase a hcatmg element and a
dntm support roller. When the"e parts fail, you can repair yout appliance QUtcldy.
Remember, it's often true that the) don't make thing~ like they
used to. Even Gmndma's old appliance rna) ha\e been made with
extremely sturdy matenals - much stronger lhan some sold today.
With a little tune--up they'll last a hlet1me for you, too.

�Fall's cool temperatures make
ic an excellent rime fur day hiking, and a licrle preparnrion can make the acriviry even nicer. And safer.
A bike's length and difficulcy determine what
supplies you should cake, says Bill Greer, a 25-year
hiker and founder of G(Jr/J.C01ll. an outdoor enthusiast and adventure CI<lvel website. Ifyou're going for
ac least three hours, cake about cwo quarcs of wacer
per person, fruit, bread, cheese, or ocher snacks.
"You'll probably be hungner chan usual since
you're burning calories," he caucions. "So rake
exCI<l food in case you end up caking a wrong cum
and covering more ground chan expected."
Packing fur the unexpeaed is also essential, ~ys
.Karie Miller, an avid hiker and librarian for the New
River Gorge National Park in Glen Jean, W:Va.
"Everything you cake should be something
you can use if you aren't able to get back home
when you planned," she says. ·'Always rake a
flashlight. It will pick up your spirits if you're
srranded overnight," she says, spealoog from
experience. "And cake coilet paper. You'll be more
comfortable, and ir can also start a fire."
Marches, a wlusrle, extra shoelaces, a first aid kic,
knife, and a small mirror are essential, Greer advises.
'Thestgnaling power ofa mirror is amazing;" he says.
Both experts urge taking an ample supply ofsunscreen and bug repellent, a min jacket, appropriare
hac, and sunglasses. i\'filler also advises hikers co -wear
blaze orange VestS or bats dunng bunnng season. "A
map and comp!SS can be helpful." says Greer, "bur
only .fyou know how to use them mgerher."
Cell phones may not be rbe Lifesaver you think.
They can be a liful.me in dire circumsrances, bur
people take unwise chances because rhe phone
offers a false sense of securicy. Miller says.
'Take ic with you, bur don't be surprised tf it
doesn 'c work from your location, or that you
could be so lost that you don't know your l.ocauon." she says. Greer agrees thac tr·s a good safery
bad'Up, but should be used only m emergenctes.
Finally, aU supplies should comfortably inco
a good-sized fanny pack or smaH daypack. :}

not what you 1nrended.
I discovered the solution by accident
one morning. Having run out of corn meal
for flapjacks. I cried grits instead-and
found the results not only stayed crispy all
morning. bur had such an indescribable
rasre chat I"ve never cooked them any ocher
way since. Griddlecakes became Grittlecalus. (Grits is a dry meal made trom bull
corn kernels; a favorite 10 the South.)

MANAGING EDITOR
Union leaders arc calling into question Kentucky
We!lt Virginia Gas Company's announcement last week
that it needs to trim up 110 employees from its workforce, :.aying the effort is nothing more than an attempt
to bu~t the union.
Last Thursday. Kentucky West told members of the
Paper. Allied Industries and Chemical Employees
Union (PACEl Local 5-512. which represents 150 of
the gas company's workers. that it is offering an
enhanced retirement and severance package in order to
trim its workforce voluntarily.
A statement from the company attributed the downsizing to Kentucky West's largest customer. Equitable
Production. with which it had a well tending and service contract.
But representatives of the union see the development as a ploy.
In an interview .,.. ith The Floyd County Times,
Ralph Hood, scc.retary/treasurer of PACE Local 5-512
and Merlin Scsco. a member of the union negotiating
team, said the los... of Equitable Production's business
is not .,.. hat it appears to be because the two companies

Trainer agrees to one-year suspension
An embattled jockey and horse
traint:r has ghen up his fight and
agreed to a suspension from the
Kentucky Racing Commission.
The
Racing
Commission
announced Wednesday that Morrow.
Ohio-native Jason Brewer had agreed
to suspension whlch will prevent him
from training horses for one year and
from driving for six months. In addition. he will be prevented from reapplying for his driving license for another six months.
Brewer has been at the center of a
controversy \\ hich erupted folio\\ ing
the death of the horse Dark Side~ at
Thunder Ridge Raceway in July
Shortly after the horse\ death. Brewer
was suspended for training the hor...e in
an ''unconventional manner'' and
whipping it in an "excessive and brutul
manner."
Brewer had filed an appeal to the
suspension and was ullowed to continue racing und training horses.
A<:. recently as a month ago.
Brewer's attorney, Rep. Greg Stumbo,
had vowed that his client would be \ mdicated. But another attorney representing Brewer, Lexington lawyer
David Frankljn, told the Lexington
Herald-Leader the jockey agreed to the
suspension in order to "get it over
with'' but that he remained innocent of
the allegations against him.
Brewer's agreement to the suspension came at the .same time a local
prosecutor had decided not to get
involved in the case after being urged
by People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals.
On Monday, Commonwealth's
Attorney Brent Turner announced the
re~ults of his investigation into Brewer.

just on paper to help !Equitable Resources) with
their taxes, that it would not affect us at all." Sesco
said.
Both Hood and Sesco ~ay that employees are now
being told that, even if they lose their jobs with
Kentucky West. they might still be able to work the
same jobs for Equitable Production on a contract basis.
That appears to he an attempt hy Equitable Resources
to replace union workers .,.. ith contract employees, the
two men say.
"They're \\anting us to be the contractors. that's
what they're looking for," Hood satd. "They want to
bring us back with no benefits as independent contractors."
Tom Blake, president of Kentucky West, acknowledged that Kentucky West and Equitable Production
are part of the same company - calling them "affiliates of the same parent company" - but denied
Hood's and Scsco's claims that Kentucky West's plans
to downsize were part of a scheme between the two
divisions to rid the company of union workers.
Blak~. \\ho served as a vice president and general
manager with Equitable Productton before going to
Kentucky West. said the t\\O di\ isions actually have little to do \\ ith each other.
"l''\c been on both side... and I can tell you these
companies arc definitely arn1s-length companies,"
Blake said. "There i-. VCT) little cooperation on either

To back up their claim-.. however, Hood and Sesco
produced an intemal compuny doctmtent from a lawyer
representing Equitable Resources.

priatc to give notice to PACE, local
and state governments, and other
non-union represented employees
of the decision to terminate the scr-•
vice agreement. Factors to consider
include possible work stoppage,
sabotage to equipment, decline in
productivity, public relations, political pressures. etc."
• "(D)evelop an outplacement
plan of what benefits [Kentucky
West] is willing to offer those
employees who are laid off as a
result of the termination of the service agreement," including severance payments. after deciding to
unilaterally implementing a layoff
of employees.
• "[E]valuate how the union- ~
represented
employees
may
respond to such a termination.'' The
memo also suggested consulting
with "a few trustworthy individuals" about the issue.
• ''[A)nalyze the economic
impact that a work stoppage would
have on hourly employees" and
"complete a similar economic
analysis of the company's costs in
the event of a work stoppage.''
• "[D]etermine how the local
politicians might react to this plan."
In response to the leaking of the
document, Blake acknowledges its
authenticity, saying it was stolen •
from his desk.
"I hate the fact that that's out
there because it is attorney-client
privilege," Blake said.
Blake denied that the document
is a blueprint for dissolving the
unton at Kentucky West. as Hood
and Sesco claim. Instead, Blake
said it was merely a planning tool
the company used while preparing
for signifi cant restructuring. He
said the statement in the memo concerning "evidence" of Kentucky
West and Equitable Production
being "alter egos" was not an
admission that the two companies •
are.
"Obviously, we don't think that
and that's why we asked our attorney." Blake said.
Hood and Sesco also disputed
Kentucky West's financial troubles
by pointing to the company's record
earnings over the past two quarters.
On July 20, Kentucky West
reported earnings in the second
quarter were 133 percent higher
than the same quarter a year ago.
That followed an announcement of
record earning per share in the first • ,_
quarter.
Hood and Sesco said that didn't
sound like a company under a
fi nancial pinch to them.
Blake didn't dispute the recent
rosy earnings reports, saying
Kentucky West's financial fortunes
are part of an industrywide trend.
However. he said the proposed cutbacks are necessary in order for the
Kentucky West to remain competitive.

Religion
in public life
by SHELDON RICHMAN
The ~eparation of church and !>laiC is a remarkable political invention that protects every American's religious freedom. It guarantees that the government won't tell anyone
when or what or ho'W to worship. But it is not a muzzle on free
religious expression.
Some strict separationists seem to have forgotten that in
their criticism of voluntary prayer.; at school football games
and of Sen. Joseph Lieberman's professions of faith during
stump speeches. The football prayers and Lieberman's
speeches are examples of the 'ibranc) of the First
Amendment.
The Founding Fathers knew a lot about religious persecution. That's why they came here and prohibited an establishment of religion. The Establishment Clause means thm the
government can't endorse one religion over another or religion over nonreligion. Earlier this year. the U.S. Supreme
Court said it also meant that public schools could not orchestrate a student prayer before a football game.
Th1s didn't go over well in the South. where there is no
separation between church and football. In response. fans at
some games have begun rising to pmy.
Some separationists complain that this violates the
Establishment Clause. But they are shortchanging the Fir.;t
Amendment. Just as it protects the right of people against the
government telling them how to pray, it also protects the right
of people to pray. It may not be sensitive for Christians to
recite the Lord's Prayer when Jews and Muslims are pan of
the crowd. But as long as the school isn't involved, they have
every right to pray in public - as do the Jews and Muslims.
The same values are at stake in Lieberman's campaign
speeches in which he said that "there must be a place for faith
in America's public life." The Anti-Defamation League called
on Lieberman to stop making overt expressions of religious
belief, saying they are contrary to the Amencan ideal. The
league sent similar letters earlier this year to other candidates
after George W. Bush identified Jesus as his favorite philosopher and AI Gore talked about being born-again.
The league says there is a point where relig10us speech
"becomes inappropriate and even unsettling." Some of
Lieberman's statements may have sel!med unsettling to some
voters, such as when he said. "As a people. we need to reafflrm our faith and renew the dedication of our nation and ourselves to God and God's purpose." But these voters can vote
against him if they don't like what he sayo;.
Granted. politicians often seem like religious exhibitionists-showing off their piety to garner votes. But Lieberman
and all of the other candidates have every right to invoke their
religious faith in their political s~eches and to describe how
their prescriptions for America o,;tem from their beliefs whether they be secular or religious.
American presidents have sought God's help for centunes.
Religious faith has fueled the ch il rights movement. just as it
fuels the Religious Right. Only by maintaining the ingenious
balance of the First Amendment can America remain the most
free country in which to speak and worship.

-Letters t~e EditorPray for the football team
Editor:
Regardless of what the Supreme Coun says. it is
time to pray. Our football teams' game scores have
fallen until they arc lower than our schools' academic ~o,corcs. I didn't think that wa~ pos!>ible. but it is
a grim reality.
For years, decade , Pre ... wn ... burg High School
has been little more than an ennhlcr. a stage or backdrop agamst which the football team can legitimately obtain re ...ourccs for a rather luxurious operation.
Indeed. just about e\cr) aspel.:t of our (oxymoron)
ec..lucational system \Ct'ffi" lo ha' c been sacriticcd

the sacrifice to foot hall gro\\ s more co.,tl) as a
function of time. Can )OU imagme the screams of
anguish if the ~chool spent about $1 million to construct a place where mathematics students could go
to think, practice and play at solving problems. The
scream~ would rent the veil in the temple, even
though every high school !>tudcnt is required to take
math courses. Yet no one raised a whimper when the
school spent about 30 percent of it:-; budget on the l
percent or less that play football.
It football is to be our god. we definitely have
problems. To have a losing god !>Cems to be an oxymoron . We need a new god or new high priests.
Ma)bc both. Really. doesn't it seem dumb to sacriticc to a lc~~er god? Or worse yet, to a !~sing god'?
In the nwantime, regardless of what the Supreme
Court snys. pray. Maybe we can whil.tld up some

Why is it considered negative campaigning to say. "My opponent has a credibility
problem," but it is not negative to say,
"'We're for the people~ they're for the powerful''?
According to virtually all mainstream
observers. the first is a vicious accusation,
while the second is a constructive discussion of the issues. But the second is as
much an attack on credibility as the first.
It's juM more subtle.
When Vice President AI Gore says Gov.
George W. Bush favors the rich and powerful over the people. he perforce is calling •
him a scoundrel and a liar.
Take taxes. Bush proposes to reduce tax
rates across the board, giving every taxpayer a tax cut. Gore says this is a "giveaway"
to the rich nt the expense of working families. That's a serious charge. The implication i.; that Bush wants to take something
that belongs to working families and give it
to rich people. That's not quite what he
would do.
First. as the Wall Street Journal points
out. the tax cut would give a bigger cut, in
percentage terms, to lower-income people
than to high-income people. The taxes of a
family of four making $35,000 would drop
I00 percent, while people with incomes
~
over $100,000 would see their taxes fall by
only 10 percent.
But let's assume Gore is right that the
tax cut is mainly for t.he rich. Is something
unseemly going on? No. because the rich
pay most of the income taxes. A recent
'1
Statistics of Income Bulletin points out that
in 1997 the top I percent paid more than 33
percent of the revenue hauled in by the personal income tax. The top 5 percent paid
more than half! The bottom 50 percent of
earners paid a mere 4 percent.
In what way could a tax cut for the rich
come at the expense of others? Money
belongs to those who earn it, and a tax cut
simply leaves money in the hands of its
•
producers. It is taxes. not tax cuts, that
deprive people of money to which they are
entitled.
Perhaps Gore means that working families would be better off if the government
had the rich people's money. But we know
lhat is nonsense.
The rich do most of the saving and
investing. That raises everyone's standard
of living by providing better and cheaper
goods and serv1ces. and more productive
jobs. The rich consume onl)' a tiny percentage of their income. But even their consumption makes others better off.
Back in 1990, Congress, in a fit of class
envy. passed a tax on yachts and jewelry.
Guess what happened. The rich bought
fewer luxuries or bought imports. This put
American workers out of jobs, so the
Democrats repealed the tax - a tacit confession that "trickle-down" economics
(more like cascade-down economics) is
\'ali d.
Good things happen when the rich (and
e\eryone else) keep their money The same
cannot be said when the government gets it.
Government is big on promises and bigger on not fulfi)]jng them. The history of
the federal government is a chronicle of
•
boondoggles. corruption, and the destruction of wealth. As Henry David Thoreau
once ...aid. "This government never fur·
thered any enterprise but by the alacrity
with which it got out of the way."
lf Bush \\anted to get really negative. he
could <.;ay that Gore apparently wants people to die. because his prescription drug
plan will inevitably impose price controls,
which will prevent development of lifesaving medicines. It would be a nasty thing to
say. but the underlying logic would be
valid. That's exactly what the Gore plan
would do. Bush. alas. has disarmed himself 41
by embracing his own brand of prescrip·
lion-drug socialism.
Since wealthier people tend to be healthIer and live longer, Bush might further
point out that by impeding the creation of
wealth. Gore's policies would condemn the
poor to poor healtll and shorter lives. I'm
sure Gor~ is not motivated by a wish to see
people suffer. No. he's motivated by a con·
descending desire for po-wer and is just too
husy to figure out what the consequences
would be.

A Look At Sports
.Reds to
reinstate
grooming
policies
DOWN ON THE FARM
It will start on the minor
league le\ el. but the Cincinnati
Reds are serious about reinstating their grooming policies for
players who play for the notso-Big Red Machine.
The Reds new fam1 director
~has issued advance notice and
when rookies report to the Reds
instructional league in Sarasota,
Florida. they will have to shed
the earrings and facial hair.
Ted Naehring. recently
named fann director for the
Reds, says the lack of hustle in
the minor leagues has become a
habit with most Reds players
''The hustle we watched on
the B1g Red Machioe was a
given," said Naehring. "You
watch some of these minor lea·
• guers and that's not the case.
But it \\ill be.''
Naehring said most player!>
think today all they have to do
is show up and put on the uniform .
The Reds had a ban on earrings and facial hair until the
f999 season when they
acquired Greg Vaughn, who
then sported a goatee. Because
Vaughn did not want to shave
it, the rule~ were changed to all
Red) players to have one. The
'99 Reds then took on the shabby look. In February of this
• year the Reds obtain Ken
Griffey. Jr., who sports two earrings and, you guessed it, the
Reds lifts the ban on earrings.
One has to wonder if the
ban at the major league level
will be reinstated in 2001.
Player:. and the players
union are dictating more and
more how the game of major
league baseball is conducted.
The high salaries, we aU can
not understand that. But to let a
group of young men say who
they will play for. when they
will play. and how they look
when they play- that is
• ridiculous.
Third base coach Ron
Oester has emerged as a "serious" candidate as the new Reds
manager during the 2001 season. However, with nothing
concrete about present manager
Jack McKeon, I look for the
Reds to bl! silly enough to
bring Jack back.
I reall) don't like the idea of
Ocstcr managing the Reds.
Also mention was Los Angeles
•~ Dodgers manager Davy
Johnson. Johnson, who many
feel wi ll be let go after this season, once managed the Reds
and successfull y. But he and
Marge Schott (former CEO of
the Reds) did not agree on
moral principles.
I like bringing Lou Pinella
back. But will he leave the
Mariners for another stint with
Juni01. 1 think not.
•
Have you noticed how well
the Reds have played since
1
Junior has been out of the lineup.
Week five of the high school
football season kicks off
tonight and all four of our
county teams will be in action.
All four have tough match ups
but we are hoping for a reverse
of last Friday night when neither team posted a win.
Th~ big game will be Betsy
Layne at Pike Central as both
arc jockeying for the fourth
• seed in Class AA playoffs.
I had a chance to talk with
Levi Hamilton, former John M.
Stumbo standout as a player for
the Betsy Layne basketball
Bobcats.
Hamilton has a son playing
football on the Stumbo football
team.

After a 4-4 tie in match three, South Floyd pulled away

ALLEN CENTRAL'S Becky
Smith (6) returned

South Floyd last
Monday evening
at Raider Arena.
The Lady Rebels
dropped the
game in three
sets. Allen

to Sheldon Clark
Monday.
It is really too early to make a
call on any playotJ po!>itions. That
comes about in November. But
one thing i~ certain a.s we enter the
second half of the season - there
"'ill be some early -.ignificant
games on tap.
The South Aoyd Raider.~ will
travel to Aemmg<Neon tonight for
a game that could very well determine the fourth seed in the state
playoffs.
The Pikeville Panthers are well
in front of the rest of the Class A.
Region 4, District 8 field with a J..
0 district record (5-0 overall). It
appears that HlUard will be a top
district team \vtth the third and
fourth spots going to either Neon,
Paintsville. or South Floyd.
1be Pirates and Raiders are
identical in !\.'COrds at 2-2 overall
and 1-1 in their district. However.
tonight"<; game will set the tone for
the rest of the season as the two
teams are hoping to be one of the
state playoff teams.
The Raiders have made three
straight such appearances and four
in the last five years. And always,
it has come down to the final
game of the regular season against
Elkhorn City in deciding who
would be the fourth seed.
However. that will be all different this sea.<;On as the Neon game
looms very. very b1g.
A win for South Floyd would
give them a 2-1 mark while
Fleming-Neon mu~t yet face top
runner Pikeville next month. 'The
only other district game left for the
Pirates, after the Pikeville game,
will be at Phelps. The Pirates will

South Floyd seems to have set on throwing tile ball more
this year. With the outstanding backtidd they have, airing
the ball out seems to be the attack new cnach Natha.11 Jones
has chosen.
The Pirates are not a team that t:he South Aoyd coaching
staff is taking too lightly.
'They are a vety tough football team," said Coach Jones.
'They are a hard-hitting tea.rn. The interesting thing about
them is they basically nmthe same offense that we do. We
hope to use that to our advantage."
Coach Jones feels his team is quicker than the Pirates but
the Raiders will have to be more aggressive on the field.
Oub;ide of Leon Brown. South Floyd is a healthy squad.
Brown will be out with a knee injury.
Coach Jones said he and his staff knew tonight's game
would be a key one.
''We marked it on our schedule before the season started," he said. "We feel it is going to make it easier on us if
we can go over there and win."
KEYS TO A VICTORY
"We have to protect the football," he said. "We made too
many tumovers against PikcvJIIe last Friday night. We can't
do that at Fleming-Neon and expect to win.
'They like to pass the ball so we have to give good coverage on their receivers. We need to tackle better."
Fleming-Neon likes to run tile option at quarterback.
something the Raiders have not had to worry about through
the first four games.
"It will present a challenge for us,'' said Coach Jones.
'They are a passing team but tiley will run the ball as well.
They have the ability to throw the football but mostly for
short yardage.''
As the Raiders enter the second half of tile season,
Coach Jones has been lecturing his team on what needs to
be done.
''I told them it was time to make or break us," he said.
"We would love to have a home playoff advantage. That has
happened only once in the history of the school."
Hazard and Paintsville loom on the horizon and Coach
Jones admits that it will be necessary to win both of those
games to get home field advantage.

here at home for us:· he said.

Allen Central
• Conti nued from p1
photo by Ed Taylor
J OHNNA ISON (11) of Allen Central watched as teammate Leslie
Martin returned a volley against 'South Floyd. Allen Central dropped a
three set game to the host Lady Raiders.
Allen Central half of the court.
"Tabatha made some great plays
for us tonight,·· said Coach
McKinney. "She is going to be an
awesome player. She and Minnie
(Tackett) both are great front line
players. They played smart volleyball."
Berger was on the court with a
sprained ankle, but you wouldn't
have known it by the way she performed.
"We had her with a bad ankle
and then we had two girls who
were sick with some kind of virus
that is going around.'' said the
South Floyd mentor.
In a game that featured some
exceJJent volleying on the part of
both teams, South Floyd moved out
to a I 3-4 lead on the serve of
Becky Isaac.
"Becky had been having trouble
with her serves until she went to
the overhead serve," said Coach
McKinney. ''She was successful
with it so I told her to go with it.
She scored on three of the five
serves and that isn't bad."
After Allen Central picked up a
point off an Amanda Potter serve to
make it 13-5, Tackett served for
South Floyd but the serve was
long, giving the ball back to
Central. Becky Smith showed her
ability to play the game and served
up four straight points to bring her
team back to within four, 13-9, of
the Lady Raiders.
After a net serve by Smith,
Stephanie Hall collected the next
two South Floyd points for the
match and the win.
Game two was a fan's delight
but a nerve-racking experience for
a coach as they had to go to beyond
the IS-point score in deciding the
second match.
South Floyd held a 14-I 2 lead
and had game point in U1eir bands
with Becky Isaac serving. On a
good set of volleys. the ball went
wide on the Lady Raiders off a
return, giving the serve to Allen
Central and in the hands of Becky
Smith. Smith served up two points
to tie the match at 14 before a net
serve gave control to South Floyd.
Minnie Tackett served up two
wicked serves that Allen Central
could not control in their court,
giving the win to the Lady Raiders.
Coach McKinney said it couldn't
get any better.
"The second game was about as
good as you can get," she said. "We
had some excellent volleys and we
kept the ball in play. In fact neither
team gave up and they played until
the whistle blew. J thought it was
an exciting game. lf people would
come out and watch this kind of
game, volleyball would catch on.''
Alien Central trailed in the
gan1e 13-9 but Lauren Majakey.
who has a smooth serve, brought
the Lady Rebels back to within
one. 13-12, on three consecutive
serves. Leslie Martin. a setter, set
up Smith for a spike that made it a
one point match.
South Floyd had jumped out Loa
3-0 lead on three serves from
Tackett. But Potter brought the
Lady Rebels back to a 3-3 tie on
some good play from Sizemore and
Potter.
After South Floyd had taken a
4-3 lead on an Isaac serve. both
teams struggled with their play on
.
the next six alternating possessions.
A serve by Majakey tied the
game at 4 and she reeled off six
more points to give Allen Central a
10-4 advantage. The next five possessions of the match saw the ball
move from server to server until
Martin served up two points for a
12-4 lead. Sizemore gave the Lady
Rebels a 14-5 lead and game point
in hand but a long serve turned tile
ball back to South Floyd. Hobson
served up the final point for South
Floyd in match one but after two
exchanges. Smith got game point
on a nice serve.
"Our girls have been working
bard on their serves," said the
South Floyd coach, "and it has
really come a long way. Anytime
you change your serve in trying to
improve, you are going to make
mistakes on it."
South Floyd will meet the frontrunning
Prestonsburg
Lady
Blackcats Monday at Prestonsburg.
Volley time is 6 p.m. Allen Central
will travel to Sheldon Clark
Monday .
Bobcats
• Continued from p1
Bobcat" would be a major understatement. A district win over the
Pike Central Hawks could be neccs
sary if Betsy Layne has any hopes
• of reaching the post season playoft's.
The Pike Central Hawks on the
other hand have the luxury of having a district win under their belts.
The Hawks blanked rival Shelby
Valley 18-0 last Friday night and
will be at home once again for this
weeks game. After opening the se.ason 0-2 with losses to Class A
power Bellevue and Mercer County,
the Hawks have rebounded to even
up their record at 2-2 with wins
against Morgan County and the db• ) trict win at Shelby Valley.
The Bobcats have been nursing
injuries all season long. while the
Pike Central Hawks have played
nearly and miraculously injury-free.
"We· vc been pl"cHy fortunate this
season as far as injuries go," said
Barry
pike
Central
Coach
Birchfield. Our split end is still out
with an injury he suffered earlier
this season. but besides that we're
healthy.
A game oflast week's magnitude
can do one of two things for a victorious team. One it can keep tl1em
up for the next game or two it can
leave t.hem overlooking the next
game. ln this case Coach Ted
George and hts Bet~y Layne
Bobcat" just happen to be that next
game.
"Last week was a big game for
our kids," said coach Birchfield.
"We arc proud to be 1-0 in the dis-
•1
trict. The Shelhy N'alley was a big
win for our team. now we have to
fo<.·us on this week's Betsy Layne
game. They do a lot of different
things on offense. with a lot of real
athletic players. It"s nothing we
really haven't seen already. We
expect another big district win out
of our kids."
How do you get ready for a fifth
consecutive road game? Who better
to ask than Betsy Layne Coach Ted
George. The Betsy Layne Bobcats
have hit the road the past four
Friday's. Powell County. South
Floyd. Evarts, and Belfry have all
handed the Bobcats losses on the
road over the past month of travels.
'We're looking real forward to
going to pia} Pike Central.'' said
Besty Layne Coach Ted George.
·Going three hour' on a bus to play
EvarL'i and making the long trips tn
belfry and Powell County in previous past weeks took our kids out of
the game. Hopefully thio; week
we'll geL back into it mentally. The
players know Pike Central is a big
district game and they know what a
distnct win at this point in the season means."
Standing at 0-1 in the district the
Bobcats aren't out of the playoff
picture by no means. Although
opponents have outscored the
Bobcats 223-36 this season. the
Bobcats do have an explosive
offense once it gets going. A
healthy Bobcat like t.he one out on
the Pike Central field tonight could
pose some problems for the Hawks.
"Everybody is healthy right
now; knock on wood," said Coach
George. It's the first time we've
had everyone healthy since the start
of the season.
PIKE CENTRAL SCOUTING
REPORT
Watching the pike Central
Hawks offense might make one
think someone has a remote control
stuck on rewind.
"They run the ball a whole lot,"
said Coach George. They run three
plays 80% of the time. The option
and the belly takes up a lot of their
offense. Coach Birchfield has put
together a well-coached team. At
the beginning of the season they
came out passing the ball but went
back to running the ball the second
game of the season."
KEYS TO A BETSY LAYNE WIN
"We need to come out and play
tough like we did in the second half
of the Evarts game," said Coach
George. "Adam Collins played a
solid game in the second half of the
Evarts game. The intensity has to
be up and our defense has to step up
early. All of our kids know this is a
district game and they know a win
means a district win and a step closer to the playoffs."
If the Betsy Layne line steps up
and tile Bobcat backs hit the holes
then Coach George could find his
second win of the 2000 season and
his first district win of the season
tonight at Pike Central
Kickoff for tonight's game is set
for 7:30.

your breath
In this past Sunday"s Parade
Magazine, Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld suggested 12 ways to stop hiccup!). And
"hile hiccups may be an aggravating
and oftentime~ embarrassing malady, I
personally fail to recognize the importam.·c of devoting a third of a page to a
cunJiuon that can be easily relieved
without benefit of medical science.
The article stated that while doctors
can explain almust every bodily function, the reason for hiccups remains a
my'>tl.'l)'. And while there are many
medical interventions that are used in
order to stop them. none work predictably.
Since most hiccups go away on
their own regardless of whal you do,
you may elect to forego some of the
following methods:
I. Pull your tongue forward as far
as it will go, or have someone do it for
you. (Personally. I don't think I'd ask
'iomeonc to pull my tongue out of my
mouth on purpose. And. anyway, I
don't think there v.ould be an) taker~.)
2. Ha'<e someone raise your uvula
(the little thmgamabob that hangs
down from your sof1 palate-you can
see it when you open your mouth
wide). I was glad the location ot your
u' ula was clarified in the article
because if I asked someone to mise
mine, 11 would be essential that thev
knew me intimately.
3. Have someone tickle your throat
with a couon-Lipped swab, a tongue
depressor or a finger, but make sure
they stand clear if you've just eaten.

The last time I got my knees up to my
chest my feet were in stirrups.)
I0. Put a tablespoon of granulated
sugar on the back of) our tongue. Let

it would have worked better if I'd left

11. Tickle your nose until you
sneeze. (You may be unaware of this,
but it is extremely difficult to tickle
) our nose. Try a few "knock, knock"
jokes. If that tails to arouse a chuckle,
spring for a Jeff Foxworthy CD.)
12. Breathe det!ply into a paper bag.

Needle!)s
Kentuckians know the best way to
cure the hiccup~ is simply by providing a good, old-fashioned scare. (My
father once told me that a friend of his
had hiccups that Wl!rc relieved when
hrs wife caught him with her best
fnend. He also mentioned that a fe\\
other things were relieved o;imultaneously and embarrassingly.)
However, Dr. Rosenfeld felt that
startling or frightening a hiccuper,
especially if the person wao.; old. fragile or sick, was not a good idea.
Maybe the good doctor should add
"compromising situations" to the list
of remedies.

'Debating our destiny' on KET documents
40 years of US pr~sidential debates
As Al Gore and George W. Bush gear up
for a series of debates to clarify their
stances on key issues of the 2000 US presidential race, "Debating Our Destiny: 40
Years of Presidential Debates" documents
some of the most memorable moments in
four decades of face-offs between US presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
The program airs Sunday, September
24, at 9 p.m. on KET.
The documentary features highlights of
debates from 1960 through 1996, as well as
exclusive interviews with nearly all of the
debate participants-including Presidents
Reagan, Clinton, Caner, Bush and Ford;
Vice Presidents Quayle and Mondale; and
candidates Geraldine Ferraro and John
Anderson--conducted by veteran poli(ical
journalist Jim Lehrer over the past 10
years.
''The presidential debate has become a
defining event in American politics," says
Lehrer. "IL has also become a required
gauntlet for anyone attempting to lay claim
to the Oval Office. The conversations featured in 'Debating Our Destiny' reveal the
stories behind these unforgettable political
high-wire acts which helped chart the
course of modem American history."
The former candidates offer recollections and candid assessments of their participation in the debates and examine how
the debates helped to make or break their
campaigns.
Jimmy Carter, for example. recalls how
be capitalized on a table-turning gaffe by
Gerald Ford, while Geraldine Ferraro discusses both the opportunity and burden she
shouldered as the first-ever female. vicepresidential debate participant.
"Debating our Destiny: 40 Years of
Presidential Debates,'' produced by
MacNeil/Lehrer Productions, is closedcaptioned for the deaf and hard-of-hearing.

WATCH OUT FOR YOUR ELBOW!
Even if ) ou do not play tennis. you may have tennis elbow or lateral epicundyhti,, a repetitive strain injuf) (RSI). This intlammation occurs most frequc.:ntl) in a person·, dominant arm during middle life. As its name implies. it is
'cry common among tennis player~. especially those with a faulty backhand
s\\ in g. Fort) -fi, e percent of tennis player~ who play or practice daily will get a
tcnnts cl"ow. This condition also afflicts carpenters. mechanics, office workers,
c.tshic.:rs, maintenance worker:-, and anyone else who performs repented hammering. grasping, and rotaf) forcam1 motions.
Lateral epicondylitis leads to tenderness and pain in the forearm and elbow.
When touching the area. it will be painful. However, there usually is no
swelling. Expert adjustments by a trained and professional chiropractor can help
restore normal range of motion to JOtnts that have become impaired, thereby
imprming hlood circulation and speeding the healing process. A chiropractor
can also suggest preventative measures such as using the proper sports equipment or tools. relearning how to perform a physical actitm, or doing the necessary stretching exercises before a strenuous activity.

-EditorialState to blame for
ethics mess
That State Auditor Ed Hatchett's perfonnance audit of
county and city ethics codes uncovered a hodgepodge of
vague and inconsistent local codes should surprise no one.
What else could one expect from a state law that mandates
local ethics codes but gives HttJe direction on what those
codes should entail?
The 1994 Kentucky General Assembly enacted legislation requiring that every county and city in the state adopt a
code of ethics.
At the time. the federal BOPtrot scandal. which resulted
in the convictions of a number of key legislators. was still
fresh in the minds of Kentuckians. and legislators were
intent on convincing voters that the sins of the past would
not be repeated. Thus. while enacting a tough code of ethics
for legislators, they took a step to ensure that the ethics of
local officials would not be overlooked.
But it was a small step, one that gave locally elected officials great leeway in detennining just what their codes of
ethics entailed.
The only guidelines given local governments in me state
law were that the codes include standards of conduct for
local officials, require financial disclosure, include a policy
on nepotism, and designate a group or a person to enforce
the code.
The vague state law did not ban elected officials from
hiring their family members; it simply stated the issue had
to be addressed in the code. The financial disclosures
required could be extremely general in nature, and most are.
Lacking more specific guidelines, most counties and
cities relied on the guidance of the Kentucky Association of
Counties and the Kentucky League of Cities in adopting
their codes.
Indeed, the sample codes issued by those two organizations became the model for hundreds of codes throughout
the state.
Since their enactment, some local governments have
found a way around even the weak restrictions of their
ethics codes.
When one area county disliked the nepotism restrictions
its code placed on the hiring practices of a newly elected
judge-executive, the fiscal court simply amended the code
to allow the hiring of some family members.
When a new mayor and city council feared an ethics
board whose members were appointed by a previous mayor
would rule against them on several complaints. the council
changed the number of people on the board to assure the
new mayor could appoint the majority.
Of course, members of the General Assembly are in no
position to object to such local shenanigans. After all, when
a powerful Legislative Ethics Commission ruled against
some key legislators, the 1996 General Assembly gutted the
1994 law by stripping the commission of much of its authority.
Hatchett called the 1994 law mandating local ethics

-Letters t~e EditorNo justice in Floyd County
Editor:
I want to tell you a little about how the court system was when I was a young man . As a young man.
1 didn't get to go to school but about three months
out of the year. I had to work to help support my
mother and grandmother. I worked I 0 hours11 Clay
for 75 cents. I went to work in the mines in 1937 at
Monclo, W.Va I made $5.60 a shift loading coal.
In 1938. I met Pauline Napier. We fell in love
and were married. She agreed to help me with my
mother and grandmother. who was bedfast. We arc
still happily married after all these years.
I would work in the mines during the winter
months and come home to put out a crop for them
in the spring. Later on. I went into the logging business.
In 1944, during the struggle of trying to start a
busines~ and keep my family up. I was drafted into
the Army. That was a big setback. When I returned.
I started the logging business again. Our roads were
so bad, I had to put chains on my truck in the summer just to get my logs to market. I had to work the
county road with the 10 or 12 men I had working for
me just to get to town
Then my old friend. the Honorable Judge Ed
Hill. was elected. He never turned me down for any
help I asked him for. Neither did the following
judge~· Alex D:ms, Henry Stumbo. Harold Stumbo,
Henry Stephens and Hollie Conley.
That was when judges served all the people, not
just a select few. Living in Floyd County now is like
living at the brink of hell.
Everybody needs to get out and vote for the truth
one time.
You may ask, "Bill. what makes you feel that
way?" The answer is, if you had to go through what
I have in the last six or seven years, you would
understand. I have always done my best to be honest and truthful and to treat people the way I wanted to be treated. You might ask. "Bill. could you get
justice in Floyd County'?" The answer to that is. I
would have to sec it to believe it, as I haven't so far.

Some of them
remembered
Recently I wrote an article about the
use of the word "myself' and how people
tend to overuse it and thus use it incorrectly. A day or so after the column was printed. I got an e-mail from Missy Ross Little
who works at the McDowell Family
Resource Center. She wac; a student in my
class wlule I was at McDowell. Below are
the contents of her note.
This is Missy (Ross) Little,
1 am at work at the McDowell Family
Resource Center and I just finished typing
our news for the community calendar and
e-mailing it. I thought I would check out
your column. While reading it, the following came to mind.
When reading this article on the Floyd
County Times Interactive website, 1
remembered two other words that people
from Aoyd County. Kentucky and all over
America cannot seem to use correctly. You
see. I was listening at least one day in
class. It was the day we discussed anxious
and eager.
Anxious. if I remember correctly, is
when you dread something and eager is
when you look forward to something. Am
I correct? I hear these words used incorrectly on the soaps, on television programs
and in the movies. It is almost a daily
occurrence. When I hear them I also
cnnge. If I learned anything. my dear
English/journalism teacher. I did learn the
proper usage of these words. It must have
been rainy that day because I listened.
Also, just so that you know, although it
may not seem as though may of us were
paymg attention
we JUSt couldn't
escape wimout learning SOMETHING.
While one eye roamed the room, the other
was on our studies.
While one ear was listening to the roar
of the air conditioner or birds singing, the
other was on what was being said and we
needed to know. While one hand was writing "I Love So & So" the other was fidgeting (okay so I couldn't spell that word),
wanting to write those sentences and pick
out me correct verb. noun, adjective and so
forth.
So while you have been shaking your
head. hoping we heard you. and praymg
we do all right in the world. remember:
Hey, at least one of them was paying attention if only for a brief, fleeting moment.
But I venture to say that there was more
than one of us that heard you.
Missy
So some of them did listen. Most of the
students turned out okay in spite of what
hindrance I may have put in their paths. I
know it is important for high school students to have a good time. Rest assured
mat the bunch from McDowell had a good
time, but they learned a great deal also.
Thanks for the note. Missy. By the way.
you did spell "fidgeting" correctly. I put it
into my trust)' spell checker and it said it
was spelled correctly.
A few days later I saw Mary Slone.
English teacher at South Floyd High
School. and she said )the told her students,
"If you are anx.iou!. about going to the
game, stay home, but if you are eager
about going, come on and enjoy it."
None of us at McDowell were Vanna
Whites, but we did enjoy the study of
words and we enjoyed life. At that, we
were ahead of the game.

Thanks to Hazard Community
College and Hazard Technical
College, nearly 30,000 high school
students, as well as members of
vanous civic groups, cable television viewers and public library
patrons in the 5th Congressional
District of Kentucky, will have the
opportunity to learn more about
how the federal and state court
systems work.
They will learn this from an
educational videotape contributed
to every public and private high
school, community and junior college, cable television station and
some of the area chambers of commerce and public libraries by
Hazard Community College,
Hazard Technical College and the
Committee for Citizen Awareness.
The videotape, entitled "Your
Court System and You," features
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Dr. G.
Edward Hughes, president of
Hazard Community College and
Hazard Technical College, and
U.S. Rep. Harold Rogers.
The videotape includes information pertaining only to the Sth
Congressional
District
of
Kentucky.
"Hazard Community College
and Hazard Technical College
became involved with this publicservice project after learning that
only 20 percent of Americans indicate they understand how our court
system works," Hughes said. This
videotape describes in layman's
tem1s the importance of the third
branch of our democracy and the
basics of how our federal and state
court systems are set up.
''We are confident that this
videotape will be well-received in
the community. It is similar in format to another film produced by
the same non-profit organization
that is about the legislative branch
of government that has been
viewed by more than 20 million

Editorial
...:...... ~----
• Continued from p4
codes "a good first step" - and it
was. If nothing else, it required
local governments to at least establish some broad guidelines regarding the behavior of elected and
appointed officials.
The result is some strong codes,
a few weak ones and a whole lot of
codes that are somewhere in
between.
Should the 1994 law have been
more specific? Certainly. But when
legislators are not really committed
to holding themselves up to the
highest ethical standard~. they are
in no position to expect anything
more from local officials.

FLOYD COUNTY
CRISP STARRING AT
CUMBERLAND
Former Prestonsburg standout. Seth Crisp, is having a solid
season as a freshman at
Campbellsville College. Crisp is
being used as a backup quarterback and has already contributed
to the Campbellsville cause.
In the first game of the season, with starting quarterback
Jaggers out with an injury, Crisp
guided the Lions to a thrilling
• win with a winning touchdown
pass with just 53 seconds left in
the game. He passed for 129
yards in the game.
This past Saturday. Crisp
completed four of 12 pa~ses for
47 yards and scored on a 7-yard
run in Campbellsville's 24-7 win
over North Greenville. He carried the ball 11 times for 16
yards.
Speaking of fom1er
Prestonsburg players. 1 suppose
most of Kentucky caught Jeremy
Caudill on the tuoo Saturday as
the camera's showed him making
~· a nice tackle on an Indiana runner.
It was good to see on the
starting grid for the Cats, Jeremy
Caudill, Martin, Kentucky. I am
very proud of both athletes. Both
are just tremendous persons.
There was a lot of good col-
lege football over the weekend
as well as l>omc surprises in the
pro ranks.
UCLA edged Michigan 23-20
in one major upset. Michigan
was ranked No. 3 in the country
coming to California.
What about the Wisconsin
• (No. 4) just getting past
Cincinnati. It took overtime but
the Badgers prevailed 28-25. No.
9 Washington just gets past
Colorado 17-14 while Florida is
upending Tennessee in a big
SEC battle.
Of course. the UK vs Indiana
match up was also a classic as
neither team played any defense.
Antwaan Randle El was just too
much for the Cats and his only
mistake. a fumble with less than
two minutes to play. proved to
• be a costly one as the Cats
scooped up the loose ball and
scored pulling out a 41-34 win.
It is going to be a long. long
season for Kentucky if they
don't play any better on defense
than they showed against the
Hoosiers. Florida will have a
cake walk this Saturday.
Kentucky will be hard pressed to
find more than two wins in the
rest of the 2000 season.

Francis wins at Thunder Ridge
Steve Francis of Ashland unveiled a
secret weapon Friday night, and proudly displayed it in the winner's circle after taking it
to his fifth United Dirt Track Racing
Association Hav-A-Tampa Dirt late model
victory of the season in the 60-lap Miller
Brothers Coal Classic at Thunder Ridge
Speedway.
Francis drove the Valvoline Oil Rocket
Chassis Dodge Intrepid powered by a Gal)
Stanton-built Mopar engine and gave the
Daimler-Chrysler Corporation its first-ever
Hav-A-Tampa Dirt late model victol)·.
The battle for the HAT Championship
took center stage, as Francis outran HAT
point leader ScotL Bloomquist of
Mooresburg. Tenn , in the Miller Brothers
Coal Warrior/Custom Mustang for the win.
The battle between the two began in qualifications.
Francis went out right before Bloomquist
and turned the 3/8-mile dirt oval in 18.336
seconds for an average speed of 73.626
mib per hour to top the qualifying list to
that point. Bloomquist followed Francis on
to the track and lowered the time to 18.321
seconds to set fast time for the evening with
an average speed of 73.686 miles per hour.
Bloomquist earned two bonus points for
fast time honors among the 39 entrants and
held a I00-point lead over Francis.
Bloomquist earned the pole position for the
main event by winning the first of four tolap BorJa Performance Heat Races. Francis
earned the outside front row starting spot
with a win in heat two. The stage was set for
a dramatic feature race.
At the drop of the green flag. Bloomquist
and Franci:-; raced side-by-side for the opening lap, with Francis taking the lead coming
off the second tum on the high side.
By the third lap. Francis pulled out to a
five car-length advantage. and by the tenth
lap "The Kentucky Colonel" had stretched it
out to a full straightaway over the three-time
HAT Champion.
The only time Bloomquist could get close
to Francis was when they were in lapped
traffic, or when the field was slowed by one
of nine caution flags. On each restart,
Francis wa~ qu1ck to pull out to a five to
seven car-length advantage.
"This Mopar is the way to go," Francis
said of his new ride. "We're going all out to
win the championship with this new Dodge
Intrepid, and we want to win the remaining
three races. If Bloomquist still wins the championship, we'll know we did everything we

The Allen Central Rebeh girls'
volleyball team has been a team on
the verge of winning every game
they have played this season. Coach
Larry Maynard feels communication is a vital key for his team if
they expect to ever play up to their
potential.
So many times the Lady Rebels
have dug a hole for themselves and
then rallied back only to be turned
away at the last second by their
solid competition. This past
Monday's game with Prestonsburg
proved to be no different.
The undefeated Prestonsburg
Volleycats traveled to Eastern this
past Monday night to take on the
Allen Central Lady Rebels. Coach
Russell Shepherd's Volleycats ha\'e
been tested this season but have yet
to fall to defeat.
Since claiming the Pikeville
Invitational girls' volleyball tournament two weeks ago, the Volleycats
have gone on to add five more wins
to their impressive undefeated
record.
Following an Allen Central scoring serve. senior Stephanie Adams
got the Prestonsburg first set start·
ed, reeling off 5 straight points.
Becky Smith put the Lady Rebels'
second tally on the scoreboard, only
to see the serve lost on her next
attempt.

BOB KNIGHT VIEWS
lhankfully, greatness is flawed. We
arc rclievcxl. Even as we conderrm Bob
Kn1ght's excesses (arrogance, bully
tactics, temper) others defend his
(flawed) greatness.
Indiana's ex-coach has ignited passion allotted to fallen generals (Douglas
MacAnhur and GeorgeS. Panon) and
politicians (Rjchard Nixon and Bill
Ointon).
We all have an opinion. A few
observations.
o If only AI Gore and George W
Bush could capture such interest
among young Americans.
Just wondering ... will ru prez
Myles Brand be remembered with
Harry
Truman
and
Dwight
Eisenhower?
o One person who handled this ugli·
ness and Indiana University embarrassment with grace and calm (nwnb?):
Interim coach Mike Davis.
o Somebody tell me how it can be
said on tllC one hand: 'There's no doubt
Bob Knight is a genius," and on the
other believe: "I couldn't find anybody
who could tell me what zero tolerance
meant.''
• Interesting, Knight's contract
includes an agreement that he will not
coach at a school in Kentucky for eight
0
years.

Carolina for almost 30 years and many
of my friends are Chapel Hill graduates. It has been quite embarrassing to
see Kentucky take a young man who
appears to be eligible but still, whatever the case, has questionable SAT and
ACI' scores on his second attempt.
Honesty is the issue. The integrity and
the academic standards of Kentucky
are of concern. Jason could have been
given a scholarship, sat out a year ~md
proved his academic prowess. People
closely involved w1th sports tend to not
look at the entire picture when it comes

The traffic light changed. As I

mirror a red sports car came intO view.
A young blond-haired lady was behind
the wheel and seemed irritated to find
herself behind a pickup truck.So
annoyed in fact, she maneuvered her
car as near my bumper as poss1ble.
When I waved in the rrurror and signalled her to back away, give us a bit of
safety room, the blond-haired girl
thrust her rmddle finger against the
windshield.
A mile or so on, the blond-haired
girl decided to exit right. She gave no
tum !'ignal but had one last signal for
me. Another nuddle linger gesture.

Back in hrgh school I attended
three separate football camps with

when the Yellowjackets were

to always put a good team on the

to join that ere\\.
"If I don't do the job. [Dale
Earnhardt I isn't going to be
very happy. We haven't talked
about what il you don't. That
isn't what it's all ahout."
Waltrip said. "IIe didn't put me

because he thought J could do

a profes ... ional manner. We'll
just go do the job and not
worry if he gets mad at me or
not.
"When you can step up a

you can get the job done. then
you ought to take that step, and
that's something I desperately

not left any rocks unturned."
Waltrip said that he'll do
whatever it takes to \\in.
Whether that means spending
more time at the shop, or get·

knows that Earnhardt's fierce

Jean Horner Spencer and Ralph Spencer have been
married for 59 years.
Former Judge Hollie Conley (Garrett '39) and wife
Minnie Martin (Maytown '38).
The Maytown Homecoming was a family affair. Here are Ray Prater,
grandson Michael Flanery, daughter Sandra Flanery and great-granddaughter Abby James.
Listen up!
I've ne,er met Noah Tackett. fouryear-old son ol Robin and Doug Tackett of
t Auxicr-Cra\\dnd Bottom, to be exacthut he sounds like my kim! of guy. lie has
a way of expressing himself and. if you
don't alw.1ys understand him. that just
might be your own fuult.
Someone who frequents Jerry's
Restaurant in Prestonsburg told of being
there a lew cwnings ago when Noah and
his family were having dinner. The waitress was taking their orders and he asked
for a glass of tea. When she came back
with the tea, he told her he \\Ould also like
some women.
"Now aren't you a hig one to he ,Jsking
for women." she laughed, then continued
to sene the meal. When she thought "he
4 had se1ved all their food, ~oah told her
AilEEn Hall
ugain. ''I'd wikc
to have some
\\omen." And
ont·e again, she
laughed.
But another member of
the family. Noah's grandfather. i'reddie
Goble. was at the table. and he was able to
catch the eye of the wnitres~. "What he
wants." he whispered, "is ~ome lemon."
That's not the only story l'w heard
about ;"'loah. He sounds like a ) ounger
version of his famous grandfather. and
maybe one day we 'II be seeing him on
stage with the Kentucky Opry.

When my husband sits at this computer. it's u~ually to play one of those games

that's whal I'm doing. loo, \\hen I'm at
the computer. without being a\\arc of all
these profound thought:-. I'm trying to

Allen not called and told him. The) had a
hrief conversation about being fellow exm;uincs and the hits of news the) always
liJ.;~ to talk about. and then he casually
asked me VI here I put the paper.
When he and Cassie talk again. he
might tell hc1 there is another side to the
story. hut I don't think he '11 bother to
e\prcss any objection to anyone else. He
knows I have a column to rill each week
and, if I don't find material Sl.'Tlewhere
elsl'. I could make other obse\'ations about
him.
Response
I don't kno\\ if Dr. Adams appreciated
h,l\ ing his gr.mdson. J. D.. pra) for him to
Last week the very first gold
medal in the 2000 Sydney
Olympics was awarded to
University of Kentud.y graduate,
Nanc) Johnson.
Her event? The air· rifle competition.
Now. when I was a kid, we
called an air-rifle a S.B. gun, and
the very best, state-of-the-art B.B.
gun was the Red Ryder Daisy.
While many of the kids in the
ncighhorhood fortunate enough to
have one I never was- -became
rather proficient at p1ckmg off
bird~ from the tops of fence posts
and telephone poles. it never
occurred to any of us that skill
with a B.B. gun could one day
qualify them for a real, honest-togoodness Olympic event.
In today's world. I'm sure it
wouldn't be politically correct to
shoot at sparrows, wrens and
blueJays in the Olympics, and
"laney Johnson probably didn't
shoot a Red Ryder Daisy. But if
we'd held the Olymp1cs at Muddy
Branch in the 1940s, that's what
we'd have done.
We· d also have had, no doubt,
a "home made sling shot" competition. and I'd have been right up
there battling for a medal, especially if l could have had for
ammunitton a pocketful of those
marble-sized railroad gravels I'd
always load up with when I'd
walk the tracks through
Grl·entown on my way back from
the ~how on those hot, dog-day
Saturdar afternoons.
NoVI, I'm not saying that I was
the best sling-shot shooter to ever
come down the pike: I'm just saying that. at the moment. I can't
think of anybod) who could have
beaten me. Of course. I saw
enough Johnny :\.1ack. Brown and
Audie Murphy movies to know
that there's some ptmply faced,
wet-behmd-the-ears kid somewhere wanting to build a reputation. who would eventually get
lueky and take down the top gunslinger.
Even though we spent a good
dcal of lime in the Number One
Pond (in case you're not a regular
reader of this column. our old
swimming hole was so named
because it was formed by a slate
dump from the Northeast Coal
Company's Number One Mine),
I'm afraid we'd not have fared too
well in the swimming competition.
I read m Sunday's paper that
the)' vc. more 01 less, specialized
the Olympic swimming events:
breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle.
However. if there were a category called "dog paddling," some
of us coal camp kids would be
right in there giving somebody a
run ... er, make that. a splash... for
their money. And nlstead of water
polo, if the Olympic Committee
would stan an "underwater tag"
competition. look out. And finally,
I'm conlidcnt that Muddy Branch
kids would set all kinds of records
if one of the dl\ ing categories was
"the hclly flop."
Wonder ho\\ I can lind out for

Johnson won her gold medal

one of our readers who sent a note from
Florida. Jud\ '\Ietson Calhoun wrote that
she had enjoyed the request. She also
mentioned that Dr. Adams had deli\ ered
her son 34 years ago and that he is still
domg a wonderful JOb.
.Judy grew up in the Floyd County community of Goodloe and i:, married to Rev.
John Randall Calhoun. u retired minister
of the Church of God. They now alternate
their living quurters between Kentucky
and Florida. She ha!'. promised to stop by

A petition against annexation of certain properties in the Big Branch area of Abbott Creek was
presented this week to Preswnsburg Mayor Jerry
Fannin by residents of the Big Branch area.
The petition comes as a response to Ordinance
No. 8-2000, which calls for annexation by the
city of an area that covers. respectively, the Big
Branch to Osborne Branch areas of Abbott,
including the newly developed Cedar Trace area.
The chief complaints of the residents are that
they do not wish to fall under compliance of certain city ordinances, such as city leash laws and
laws pertaining to the burning of fires and the
trimming of trees. They also do not wish to have
city taxes imposed upon them.
Petitioners also allege that the annexation of
the area is being done in an effort to present an
opportunity for certain city council members who
own property in the area to benefit financially as
a result of the action.
The petitioners say that they have no objection
to the installation of city water and sewage lines
throughout the area as long as the cost of installation is not exorbitant and the monthly service
rates are reasonable.
The petitioners have retained Prestonsburg
attorney Ralph Stevens to represent them in the
matter.
The city of
Prestonsburg is

annex t he Big ·

Including the
recently devel·
oped Cedar

are crying foul.

MANAGING E DITOR
City water will soon be available to
residents of Turkey Creek, thanks to a
finding by the Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection Cabinet
that groundwater in that area has been
contaminated by mining.
On Friday. the Floyd County Fiscal
Court gave County Judge-Executive
Paul Hunt Thompson the authority to
sign an agreement with the cabinet
which will result in $420,000 in funding for the project from the cabinet's
Abandoned Mine Lands program.
The money will be used to extend
waterlines to 47 homes identified in a
groundwater contamination study as
being impacted by mining.
Shortly after approving the money,
the court also approved another
groundwater contamination study
which could reap similar benefits for
residents along Spurlock Creek and
Gunstock Branch.
According to the second agreement, the cabinet will provide up to
$10,500 to conduct a study to see if
mining has contaminated groundwa-
ter supplies in those areas. If so. those
areas would also be eligible for
money to instalJ waterlines.
In other action, the court:
• Approved an agreement to
receive $170,790 from the Kentucky
Housing
Corporation's
Home
Investment Partnerships Program.
The money will be used to increase
the number of "decent and affordable
homes" for low- and very low-income
families.

it would be a difficult task to merge

"Let's take out the audit and see

Carter, a new management audit will
be conducted next month.
The board set an October 10 meeting to work out the particulars of the

The board agreed to a plan that will

It now appears that an attempt to return Floyd
County's fiscal court to magisterial representation will
appear on the ballot unchallenged this fall.
Last month. a petition to place the question of whether
voters wish to be represented by a commissioner or magistrate form of government was presented to County
Judge-Executive Paul Hunt Thompson. who ordered that
the question be placed on the ballot.
But that petition came under fire after Republican
Part)' chair an Bobby Stumbo and a group known as
Floyd Count) Concerned Citilens questioned its legality.
Opponents of the petition noted that it didn't follow
statutory guideline:. which require it to list the number of
magistrates "ho would compose the liscal court in the
event voters select the magisterial form of government.
Also in question were the signatures themselves.
According to opponents of the ballot iniriat1ve, many of
the signers appeared to have signed not only their names,
but the names of other people as well. Stumbo said he
counted 167 such signatures and asked that they be dis-

School board sets property tax rate
by WILLIE ELLIOTT
STAFF WRITER
Jn a Thursday evening specialcalled meeting at Adams Middle
School, the Floyd County Board of
Education approved its tax rate for
2000-200 I and agreed on the method
of evaluating the superintendent.
The board adopted the compensating rate of 63.2 cents per $1 00
assessed value (compensating rate of
62.5 plus .07 cents allowed for recovery of prior losses due to exonerations) for both real and personal property.
According to information from the
central office. "The district is expen-
encing financial stability without raising taxes; however, the rising costs of
doing school business could force
increases in tax levies iu the very near
future."
Documentation about the adoption
of tax rates must be back to Frankfort
by October 5.
After some discussion, the board
agreed on a method for evaluating the
superintendent. They chose a model
suggested by the Kentucky School
Boards Association. Superintendent
Paul Fanning provided copies of
forms that could be used in the evaluation.

But while commissioner supporters arc now ending their effort
to hrl\c the question removed from
the ballot. the controversy still
could end up in court later.
Stumbo said that if magistrate
supporters arc successful at the

Severe drought conditions and
recent wildfires throughout the western United State-. have destroyed
thousands of acres of habitat for
America's wild hon;cs and burros,
and the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) is conductmg emergency
gathers to save as many of theiic ani

"We could be facing emergency
gathers of more than 4,000 animals,"
said Lee Delancy. group manager for
the BLM's Wild Horse and Burro
program. ··some of the animals are in
bad shape and we need to rescue
them as soon as possible."
BLM ha' scheduled four adoptions in the southeast over the next
few months to lind good homes for
some of these animals. Adoptions arc
scheduled for Knoxville, Tennessee.

Knoxville. and Murray, call 1-888274·2133.
Beyond the emergency gathers,
BLM routinely monitors the herds
and removes animals when they
begin to over populate their herd
area. These removals ensure the
rangelands will remain healthy for
the remaining wild horses and burros,
native wildlife. and pennitted Livestock.
"BLM needs to find good homes
for the 4,000 wild horses and burros
we have in our corral facilities
through the Bureau's Adopt-A-Horse
or Burro Program," added Delaney.
"We need to find as many good
adopten; a:s possible to make room
for the animals that we will be gathering from the emergency."
To qualify to adopt a wild mustang or burro, individuals must be at
least 18 years old. a resident of the

Mayor Fannin's response to the
residents' complaints is to say that
once all things arc com.idered and
the numbers are added up, city taxes
actually are aboul one-fourth the
cost of county taxes. This includes
understanding that once the area is
annexed the residents will lind that
their water rates arc actually cheaper and that till!) need to con~iucr
that they will also benefit from city
fire and police protection .
The mayor also said that farms
will remain fanns and that small,
contained fires wiJI present no problems. He said he could not foresee
any problems associated with the
cutting or trimming of trees.
Mayor Fannin answered with an
emphatic "no" in response to the
allegatiOn that any city council
members are out to gain personally
from the annexation of the area. He
went on to say that if and when any
current property owners should put
their property up for sale that they
could stand to profit by selhng their
propet)' in lots rather than as a fann.
In response to the city leash
laws, the mayor says that current
residents may own any type of animal and that it may roam free as
long as it is contained within th~
boundaries of the owner's land.
October 9 is slated as the date for
the second reading of the ordinance.
At that time. the mayor said that it
will be detennined whether or not
there arc enough signatures on the
petttton to warrant placing the
annexation proposal on the 2002
ballot.

exactly how many employees will

of negotiations with PACE.

-Letters t~e EditorProud to be of Floyd County
Editor:
It was the year 1946 that I was sent to Floyd
County together with five other neighboring counties.
I was a seminarian studymg to be a priest. The bishop. of the time. wanted to form priests who would be
anxious to serve the people of eastern Kentucky's
Appalachian area. I spent the summer teaching Bible
school. helping repair the Mayo Mansion, and tum it
into Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic School.
I spent more time visiting all the towns and communities in the six-county parish. I also helped in the
outdoor preaching that was done by Father Wimmers,
the priest in charge of the counties. I actually
preached twice that summer.
By the time I retumed home to Campbell County,
m northern Kentucky, I had fallen 111 love with eastern Kentucky and prayed that somehow I nught
return and serve the people of eastern Kentucky.
My dreams became a reality in 1950, when I was
sent to Berea. in Madison County. I had three more
counties to care for as well.
In 1960, the bishop in Covington appointed me
dean of 31 counties in eastern Kentucky. 1 started outdoor preaching throughout those counties right away.
Floyd County was in the first list of counties I visited. As dead, I assisted Father Poole in purchasing the
old Presbytenan church in Prestonsburg. This
became the first permanent Catholic church in
Prestonsburg. Another Catholic parish had begun in
Martin in conjunction with Our Lady of the Way
Hospital.
In 1981. I was appointed pastor of the Catholic
parish in Floyd County. I changed the location of the
churches in Martin and Prestonsburg to a Baptist
church that had been built tn Water Gap. I named the
' church for my mother. It 1s called St. Martha. I then
enlarged the church, built a rectory and another build
ing for housing a rummage store.
When I came 10 Floyd County in 198 I, I worked
with various leaders m the county to see what they
thought would be the most important work to begin
that would help the people of the area. Their response
was a Christian school.
With the help of Christian Appalachian Project,
which I had founded 1n the 1960s while I was at
Lancaster and Berea, I purchased land and built the
school known as Mountain Christian Academy at

Kentucky law states that anyone under the age of
18 must be enrolled in school to keep their dnver ·s
license.
Recently, at Prestonsburg High School, the students were told that only seniors and the top 25
JUnrors were allowed to park in the so-called student
parkrng lot because there was not enough room for
everyone. Instead of expanding the parking lot for the
students, the)' spent $10 million to expand the football
field.
On September 5, my friend and I went into the
school and asked if we were allowed 10 park tn the
student parking lot. We were asked 1f we had a sticker .md we said no. We asked if we could have one and
they said that they had already given the stickers out

I felt so proud to be a resident of Floyd County.
Many exciting thtngs were being done. Then a sad
day came for me. My bishop was movmg me from St.
Martha and Floyd County I was asked to travel
throughout the country, speaking to people from one
coast to the other about the needs of Appalachia and
collecting funds for the well-being of the people of
the area.
It was one of the hardest moves of my life.
I now Jive in Louisa, in Lawrence County, but in
recent years I have received calls from people in
Floyd County to come over and help them. What they
were concerned about was the closing of schools in
Auxier and Maytown.
•
After listemng to those good people, I prom1sed
them that I would indeed help them . Through the
kindness and cooperation of Mr. Terry Dotson. chairman of the board of education of the county. I purchased the schools in Aux1er and Maytown.
For the last two years, I have worked hard to raise
money and with the help of local people and volunteers, the two schools have come back to hfe.
On Labor Day weekend, mo~c than 300 former
students came back to Maytown to rejoice in its resurrection
During the celebration on Saturday, I listened to
people of every role in soctety express their love for
the school and the count). Some of them cried in their
joy for seeing what they loved come back to life.
As I drove home that afternoon, I also had to shed
a tear. I was so proud to be a part of Floyd Counry
again.
Our task that remains for both of the schools is
great, but we have exciting plans for the1r development.
I felt I just had to write th1s letter to let the people
of Floyd County know how proud I am to be a part of
them again.
Please come and visit the schools. Help us plan for
the enrichment ,of Floyd County. I know you will be
proud to help bring a wonderful memorial back to
new and exciting life.
Sincerely in Jesus and Mary,

Who is to
blame?
by ROBERT UNNELL
Summer ha.:: come and gone since a pack of dogs running
"'ild in the httlc town of Blame in Lawrence Counry pulled 11ycar-old Heather Jan is from her b1cycle and mauled her.
But the horror of it still unnerves anyone who reads the
account of rhat Jun(' 2 attack.
Doctor!> at the Universiry of Kentucky Children's Hospital,
whcn.: Hcuth('l wa:, in critical conJinun, would later report that
she had ''hundreds'' of bites on her face, arms and legs. She lost
skin and muscle connective tissue from both arms and legs. She
required a respirator and medications for breathing and circulation.
James M. Moms, an attomey "'ho rs working on Heather's
behalf. sa1d one problem is Kentucky's laws. They have, shall
we sa), no teeth.
A 50-year-old state Jaw, Morris told the Lexington HeraldLeader, was created for the protection of livestock and poultry,
not to protect the pubhc from dogs
"You can put down a dog quicker for biting a cow than you
can for biting a child. It's absurd," Morris said.
We 1magine a world with dog W<lrdens and dog tags and dog
pounds- but m reahty, many cities and counties either don't
ha'e the:.e or don't put them to full use.
Kentucky law requires e\ ery county to have a dog warden
and a dog shelter, or share in the cost of a regional shelter. As
of September, 113 of 120 counties had pounds and ll8 reported h1ring wardens. But some of the shelters are little more than
pens and some of the wardens arc paid very little, given little
support and. in truth, are expected to do very little.
And yet many rural areas are plagued by stray dogs, many
of winch have been dropped off in the country by urban residenls who no longer can or want to care for them and who
someho"' think the animal will be fine or be taken in out in the
country.
In the 1998-99 fiscal year, the Herald-Leader reported, owners bought 81.399 Kentucky dog licenses, accounting for
roughly 10 percent of the dogs in the state. And it's not as
though Kenruckians are priced out of a license: A tag is $ 1.50,
the same as it has been for 46 years.
The result was an estimated $2 million in revenue that could
and should have been collected wasn't.
1be low, poorly collected fee means less money for aruma!
control. whether the need is shelters, control of strays, antirabies efforts, spaying campaigns or, when needed, euthanasia.
About once eYery 90 minutes. someone somewhere in
Kentucky i~ bitten by an aruma!, usually a dog.
Most of these far too close encounters with canine teeth
don't make new~. since journalist-; - from the time we are
pups - learn what real news is. It's when a man bites a dog,
and not the.! other way around.
Rut Heather Jarvis made news. And now that we know, from
her experience, thar wandering, uncontrolled dogs aren't just a
qua111t, little problem, maybe we will have enough sense to act.
Mayht: we cannot muster the political will to properly regulate mmmg or logging or air pollution or even chicken farms,
much less chicken fighting.
But couldn't we at least do something about the dogs?

Who is to blame for the high price of oil?
Arabic princes, ungrateful for our saving
them from Saddam? Greedy oil companies
growing profits? State and federal gas taxes?
A bungling Clinton administration? The
unthinkable, ourselves?
Whenever we have a problem (and even
in the land of plenty there are plenty of them)
we always look elsewhere for blame. "It ain't
my fault," is our first thought and as a result
trial lawyers become millionaires. And external factors can always be found to blame.
Yet our own behavior plays an important
role in causing most human problems and we
would be better off to take some personal
responsibility together with appropriate
action.
For a quarter of a century we have had
warnings that we are at the mercy of others
for oil supplies. Our June 2000 trade deficit
set a record with oH imports the major factor.
American hard assets are being sold to foreigners for a consumable product.
And what have we done? Federal fuel
economy standards require new autos to
have a mmimum average of 27.5 miles/gallon (mpg) but for light trucks (which
includes vans, pickups and SUVs), the standard is only 20.7 mpg.
The light truck category is highly profitable whereas high mileage cars are not. The
incentive is to produce and market gas guz.
zlers and that is what has happened.
But if we didn't buy them, this could not
happen. The annual Department of
Transportation budget bas been used by the
House and Senate Republican majorities
since 1995 to block both upward revisions in
the fuel standards and changes in the light
truck category.
The
Alliance
of
Automobile
Manufacturers, an influential trade group,
wants to entirely eliminate mileage standards! Total gas mileage has fallen 8 percent
since 1988. Consider also that autos and the
light trucks produce 17 percent of global
wanrung gases in the USA and that we produce 25 percent of total world warming
gases.
Melting polar icecaps and larger ozone
holes keep reminding us that time is running '
out. And in fact, current oil prices, adjusted
for inflation, are about the same as they were
almost 20 years ago.
And we complain about high oil prices?
There is so much we. could do even short
tenn: More careful driving habits such as
obeying speed limits, keeping tires fully
inflated (under inflation decreases gas
mileage), servicing vehicles on a routine
basis, no jack rabbit starts and screeching
stops, all of which reduce fuel consumption
(with added safety benefits and lower insur·
ance rates).
Firestone tires and Ford Explorer SUVs
are much in the news. Lives have been lost,
people have been mjured and property has
been damaged. Who is at fault?
Safety experts have warned for years that
SUVs are dangerous because they roll over
too easily; environmentalists have correctly
called them "gas guzzlers." Clever promo·
tions financed by profitability and historically low gas prices proved irresistible to consumers.
The Ford Explorer, singled out for the
most publicity, has a high center of gravity
making it exceptionally vulnerable to
rollover and Ford knows this. The Firestone
tires, used as standard equipment, should be
inflated to 30 pounds. Since higher ure pressure increases the vulnerability to rollover,
Fotd recommended 26 pounds which
reduces rollover problems from the high center of gravity. Under-inflated tires (exacerbated by high speeds and very hot weather)
flex more, causing heating and rapid wear
and tire failure. Both Ford and Firestone had
reasons for not wanting to admit to a problem.
It is therefore clear that both Ford and
Firestone bear some blame. Sales of SUVs
have quadrupled since 1990 and rollover
fatalities have trebled. Thtal Firestone tire
failure fatalities (88) are dwarfed by total
SUV rollover deaths (over 10,000). Clearly
high speeds and other dangerous driving
habils make a significant contribution to
SUV deaths.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Admimstrallon (NHTSA) had an extensive
network of automobile repa1r shops from
which it obtained data, waming of potential
safety problems, but it was phased out by the

Right side up love
by DR. DENNIS J. PRUTOW
STERUNG, KANsAs
The convicted couple threw
themselves on the mercy of the court.
"We understand our crimes. We
promise the court we wilJ reform. No
more car-jacking and no more convenience store robberies." The judge
takes pity. ''Thirty days and five hundred dollars." It's a short time and a
small fine.
The Bible makes an interesting
statement with regard to courts and
judges ''You shall not show pity: life
for life. eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
hand for hand. foot for foot"
(Deuteronomy 19:21 ). Ouch. When
evidence is clear. pit) should be in
short supply.
The scene shifts. Billy Joe smacks
Michael across the cheek. The anger
swells. "Not to me you don't."
Michael's left cross blackens Bill~ ~
Joe's eye.
Jesus makes the counter argument. "You have heard that it was
said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth
for a tooth.' But I say to you, do not
resist an evil person; but whoever
slaps you on your right cheek, tum
the other to him also" (Matthew
5:38 39). It's easy to misuse directions for the courtroom and apply
them to personal relatJonships.
We tum the Bible upside down.
We are wishy-washy in the courtroom and harsh with individuals. It's
the way of the world. The gospel o
Christ upends the world (Acts 17:6).
We learn lessons of love w1th friends
and enemies (Matthew 5:44).

One of the Mr. Nice Guys of
high school athletks. Ted
George, will make yet another
move up the ladder of success.
George will become assistant
principal at Adams Middle
School tomorrow (Monday) as
he mo' cs up one more rung.
George said the move is a
matter of a family affair.
"I have t\vo daughter~ and a
famil) to think of,'' he said. "I
• ~vas hoping it would not happen
until after the lootball season
was O\'er. Had J been single,
then there was no way I would
have done it."
George will continue to coach
football at Betsy Layne High
School for the remainder of the
season. It wns something he discussed with all involved.
'The players know and they
under!>tand," he said. "Jack
(Goodman ) and Mrs. Vaughn
have agreed to the arrangement.''
Will he return to coach at
41!Betsy Layne next season'?
":-.;e.xt season i-. up in the air,''
said George. '"I have alway~
wanted to coach football.
Football has kept me here at
Bet'Y La) ne I love the people at
Betsy La)ne and 11 is a good
school."
George used a Bobby Knight
quote, "I am not through coaching. I even \\cOUld like to coach
basketball.'"
Basketball, Ted'!
" I have always loved basketball." he said. "I am looking forward to coming to Adams. I will
~ not teach but be a full time assis
tant.''
George said he will be permitted to leave school early to
head to Betsy Layne and foothall
practice.
"I have to come in early to
make up the hours," he said.
"But it is something I want to
do."
George said he worked on
getting his certification over the
summer and applied for the job
at Adams Middle School.
"And I got it," he said. "It is a
good situation for me. I am from
' Prestonsburg and it will be closer to home for me."
Coach, er, Mr. George was
getting his team ready for Evarts
(Friday night's game). The Cats
have suffered some injuries over
the first four WCl'ks of the season
but...
"We arc healing up right
now," said the Betsy Layne mentor.
George was a one-time assistant at Prestonsburg High School
under Bill Letton He took the
tl Betsy Layne job replacmg John
Derossett who came to
Prestonsburg replacing Letton.
Could George again become
an assistant at Prestonsburg High
School next season'!
'"Who knows," he said.
Goodman "as one of the
more successful coaches in both
basketball and football in Floyd
Count\>. He, too, was a one time
assist;nt at Prestonsburg under
Letton. He moved to Adams
Middle School where his basketball and football teams were sec• ond to none. He later moved on
to Allen Elementary where he
built the Eagles program, both
basketball and football. into
county contenders.
Goodman moved to Adams
Middle School this school year
as the school's nc\\ principal.
I had to kid Ted with the fact
that the school now has two
football coaches and there is not
reason for a losing season.
But Adam.., 'Middle School b.
coached by Jurnes Derossett and
he is doing an outstanding job
• \\ ith the Blackcats. In fact, one
dav down the road, Derossett
wiil he a head high school football coach. What ahout Bl!tsy
Layne High School in the ycm
200 I if George do{'S not return?
Says here. Betsy Layne will look
for a new football coach next
season.
"I may take a year off from
it," admitted George. "I just
don' t know yet.''
I have alway., admtred coaches who work hard and have a

PRESTONSBURG'S Ryan Martin was the medalist
winner this past week in the Lovel Hall Memorial
Championship Golf Series. The meet was held at
the Jenny Wiley Golf Course.
For three quarters the Prestonsburg Blackcats held their own
against a much bigger and experienced Grundy. Va.. football
team.
The Golden Wave rallied in the founh quarter to post a 27-13
win over the host Blackcats. but not before they had a scare
thrown at them.
Shaking up his starting front line and bringing in an untested
sophomore at quarterback. Prestonsburg Coach John Derossett
was ready to rattle things before the Blackcats enter di,trict play
next Friday night against Whitesburg.
Joey Willis replaced Austin Clark at quarterback with Clark
moving to the backfield The mo\ e prove.d to be a good one for
the Cat~. at least for three quarters.
In the fourth quarter, the Golden Wa'c turned up their afterburner~ as the Cats' defense tired, and it \\tl~ C\ idem.
Willis. getting his tirst start on the \arsity, completed six of 12
passes for 134 yards and thrc\\ for two touchdo\\ ns. Clark caught
two of those passes. the lirst one for a 21-yard touchdown toss.
Later Chris Spriggs took a 69-yurd scoring pass from Willis.
Michael Fannin and Matt Clay had one recepuon.
Matt Slone led the Cats ground game with 53 yards but he had
nearly 100 called back because of penallie!-.. Clay. who is recovering from a bad back. looked li"-:c his old self, but late in the third
quarter and in the fourth, he was slowed.
The Blackcats managed only 84 yard-; on the ground and had
a total of 220 yards of offense.
The Blackcat dcfcnse put on a show when Grundy had moved
the ball to the Prestonsburg 3 yard line only to be held by the
Cats. The drive stalled out when the Cah intercepted a John Dales
pass.

Trip to woodshed and short
honeymoon for UK's Larry Ivy·
While ink \\la'i still drying on JXuper NCAA fOI'Ill'i making Jason Parter aKentucky Wildcat.. University of Kenlucky director of 8lhletics Lany Ivy wa&.:::
experiencing his first trip to the woodshed. A good public spanking by a few of: •
those in my business who smeUed a rat in the ParUr saga.
Shon honeymoon. huh Lany?
_.,
C'enainly Ivy must have wondered what the spin would have been had C~~
Newton approved the Parker papers and issued the press release. If track recor4'..
means anything, the previous AD would have been lauded for his genilL'i for hili 14
ing Sandy Bell, who examined Parker's high school transcript and. voila, discov·
ercd grade point gold and squeaky clean.
~
Yes, yes, when the Parter case first came on the screen, I was suspicious too
and thought of Eric Manuel, and the 1988 fiasco that made the freshman the faD
guy for shameful misdeeds done at UK. And yes, I thought about the "secondarY
violation.. appendage ~signed the Josh Carrier flap last month. To me, secondarj
violations are like being a little bit prqnant
And yes, there is an ~ odlx' rising off UK (greedy?) acceptance of 11
6-f00(-9 Tar Heel-wannabe who was rejected at <llapel Hill. And yes, Ivy
indulged in a bit of damage catrol by ignoring circumslances ~
Parker's SAT re-rest score juqling like a NASDAQ b:dl-stock on a Thesday.
Truth is. it's too easy, too early and too righteous to aibcize and condemri
UK's director of athletics so soon into the honeymoon. Says here., there is a poinl
at which we simply have 1o trust somebody. Invest a bit of faith in a new man
charged with keeping (alhlelic) things clean and up-and-up.
If only because Ivy is new to the job and we usume he wants very much to
keep UK in good staOOing given the reputation of his predecessor, he deserves
benefit of our doubls and skepticism on this one.
I prefer to spin the Jason Parker annexalion so: The kid is now a college s~
dent in good sumcfing. Clean slate. Fresh to an environrnem he will not experi•
ence again in his life. Imtant adoration to a point of being smothered. A celebri
level so unique he will not experience it again even at the NBA level unless ~
ascends to the Michael-sphere.
Let lL'i wait and keep a sober eye on Parker's progress as a student-athlete, ~
a team player, and of course. his behavior generally, before casting aspelSions on
Ivy.
If Parker's behavior is anything less than exemplary, then Lany Ivy should be
held accountable and if necessary, roasted on the grill of public opinion.
A crucible fueled naturally by a reasonable warchdog media driven by high
ideals - the flag, mom's apple pie and righleous living. All of which. of course.
all sports columnists live by without tlaw.
Now. about thai public spanking. Lany. Not a bad price to pay. is it. to land a
6-f00(-9. 2S().pound power faward who wiD help make millionS for UK's

and Matt Slone's PAT for a 7-0 lead. Slone had 21 yards
rushing on the drive. His second chance fumble turned
into some valuable yardage. On a pttch out, Slone
dropped the ball, had to go back and get it only to
sweep to the right for 6 yards. After a 2~yard pickup by
Fannin, who started at quanerback for the first time,
Willis found Clark for the score.
Prestonsburg's defense was awesome the first half
holding the Golden Wwe in ched: through the fir~t 24
minutes led by Dusty Scott. Rodney Porter and Kevin
Younce. Grundy had only two first downs in the first
half of play.
After a three-and-out to start the third period for
Prestonsburg. the Golden Wave put together a drive
that took 15 plays to covered 71 yards a~ they struck
pay dirt and tied the game at 7. Grundy sent Justin
Hipps to the right of the Prestonsburg defcn~c in running their sweep and Prestonsburg failed to contain the
run.
The Golden Wave moved up field. with the same
tactics, late in the third quarter and had the ball re~ting
on the Prestonsburg 22 when the period ended. With
II :29 to play in the fourth quarter, Grundy took a 13-7
lead on a 17-yard run by Luke Dales.
Andrew Howell's fumble recovery with less than 10

Under big pressure, Willis lofted a 63-yard completion
to Spriggs who wca\ ·d his way into the end tone to tie
the game at 13 with '\ l8 to play.
Behind the running of I Iipps and up-the-gut running
by Dales, Grundy drove the ball up field from their
own 29-yard line to take a 19-13 lead with 3:56 left on
the scoreboard.
The Golden wa,e's final score came with I :55 left
in the game when Hipps went 46 )ards for the touchdown and the PAT gave the visitors a 27-13 victor).
It was a game of nearly constant !lags as both teams

Why?
I actually had more to write last
week about my high school n.:union.
but ) had tO CUI it short b~·caUSl' of
space, So, like it or not. I'm continuing.
June Rice, tht> retired Paintsville
High School librarian "'ho made us
9Jnostalgic with her talk about our old
teachers, ended her presentation at
one of the reunion programs by Ji..,ting ··what \\e'rc doing right" to keep
PaintS\ ille schools excellent.
What she said rna) be of benefit
to people e\ erywherc "'ho arc interested in quality education.
The first thing. she said, is not
reall) somt>thing we do: it just is .
"Heredity" contnbutes to the school
system's tradition of quality. "We
have intelligent children to work
with," she said. "Tlmsc intelligent
children have irm•lligcnt parents
who realize the worth of a good
tt education."
A ''stable community that is
proud of and supportive of our
school" is an important part of the
mix, she said "We are small enough
for the parents to know the teachers
and the teachers to know the parents. E'en people whose children
are grown and awn) arc still proud
of our school."
Attitude is another factor. " We
have never taught our students that
they are dm\ ntrodden, ignorant
Appalachians," Rice said. "We teach
them that the) are as good as - or
maybe n little better than - the next
• person, no matter where they arc
from."
The fourth mca!>ure of quality,
she said, is that the board of education has "hired teachers on their
merits, rather than \\ho they are kin
to." Enough said.
The fact that teachers and students have had input in running the
school is important to quality education, she said.
The sixth factor is a humdinger.
In Paintsville schools. she :mid,
"academics and arts have been
respected as much as athletics."
.,Again. enough said.
The final clement or quality
schools. she said, IS expectations.
"We expect our students to bcha' e
and to excel. and we give them the
skills to compete "'ith anybody,
from anywhere."
I think she's probably right, and 1
think her ideas were wor1h repeating.
-
Animals are almost a<; great a
passion of mine as education. One
follows the other, I suspect.
Lately. I've been driving past the
~dead bodies of a marna cat <tnd a kitten, ncar the East Kentucky Flea
Market, on KY 321, old US 23 .
Do you suppose someone
brought the mother cat and her kittens to the flea market, hoping to
give a\\ a)' the kittens'! Wero the
mother cat and a kitten left over and then left'!
That's one wa) to get nd of
them.
But it's surely not the humane
way. nor the rcspon ible \\ay.
I can't say 11 enough· If you arc
• not committed to being a responsible pet owner. do not take on a pet.
no matter how "cute" it may look.
Puppies become dogs and kittens
become cats, and tht•y don't always
remain "cute."
Please, please, pit'asc, if you do
commit to having a pet, get it
spayed or neutered. If a pet docs not
live up to your cxpcctntion::. or if for
some other reason, you can't keep it,
then take 11 to the animal ~helter
(and "'illingly make 11 d<mallon).
Please, please, please, do not
leave it by the side of the road.

to you on passing - you made some

Saturday, things took on a more
serious tone as several participants
met at McDowell First Baptist
Church to enjoy a delicious old-fashioned breakfast.
A rare event was witnessed during
the morning · a preacher (in the person of Reverend Harry Hargis) working, Gust kidding Rev. Hargis).
Fortified for the day, these and
others were on hand as various people were recognized during the
Saturday session. Even though none
of them could be in attendance. the
reunion committee had special
awards for the three remaining classmates of the fin;t graduating class
( 1934): Melvina Newman, Chloe
Meade and Stella Howell.
Other citizens who have taken on
legendary status in the community
were honored. Troy Hayes, who has
reached the age of l 00, was honored.
He was a bus driver for the school for
many years. Even though he couldn't
be at the reunion, he was represented
by his son Doug. and Troy made a
gentlemanly gesture: he sent his
regards to Miss Ruby Akers.
Lizzie Hayes, who ran a restaurant
below the school for more years than
any of us could figure out, was noted
for her dedication to children. One

Although milll) llung'> are m1portnnt to the child and hi$ fam1l).
some families, nothmg c~m beat hm\ life e' ol\ c-. around the
child's pac1fier. aka the Bmky the Pacic, the Plug. One of my earliest unforgettable moment:-; about a child with a pacifier v. a~ when
we made nursing rounds one mommg on Pediatrics in the early
1960's. We opened the door of u private romn \.\here a 5-year-old
boy w1th h1s Palm Beach goveme~s wa assiguc-d. There, to and
behold. was a se •mingly Iurger thnn usual pre-schooler propped up
in bed Watching rv With a pacllter in hi~ mouth. He showed the
greate~t of social etiquette: by quickly taking the object from his
mouth und politd) <;:aymg. "Good Moming." Where ever his parents were, they w0uld ha'e been very proud of hi~; nbilit) to interact appropriate\\ wiU1 :.trangers Ho,,ever, the Cl'!nbinntion of that
age of child and the obJeC' in his mouth \\as unexpected. Of
course, like everythmg cis~:. studie~ have been done about the intluencc of the p.tcthcr on dtffcrent a~pt:ct" of a child's lite. What do
you tlunk about them? Arc the\ necessary? 1f they arc. what did the
early ca\ e-fam1lies and pioneer~ do for one or did they dec;ign one
from animal hide''
Also, like other topi.:s ot lite, the pro~ and cons of parents tcnch·
ing children to usc a puctfie1 h.1ve been debated. Onr "anu-pacifi
er" wnter (Mizin Kawasaki. M.D., 1998l wrote. "Infant~ do not
need to suck un padti rs •· Hts bclil!f i" thnt babJc~ are not supposed to "suck· all of the time, but need to "suckle" at the breast.
which pertains to the infant nursing on cue at the breast. His opinion was that. "Ri!ther, they (the babie:;) leam to want pacifier:.
because they arc taughr (b) parents) to want them ... When parents
place a pacifier mto an mfant's mouth. he may suck a little, hut he
will almost c.:crtainly expel it from his mouth ...Many parents will
continue to place the pacifier into the infant's mouth repeatedly

learns to suck on the pacifier because hi" parents want him to do
and pra1c;.: hun for doing so." So. \\ ho benefits mo~t. the parents or
the child'
In addit" on, the ,.,·tmc writer wrote about "nipple confusion"
being created when a brear.t baby b given a pacifier or bottle on
which to :;uck Accordmg to hi~ descriptions, suckling requires several fa~: ial parts to work together in order to obtain milk from the
breast In contrast. the infant mu:-t team to bite doY..'Il on the bottle's
nipple to stop nursing Thus, the baby is likely to bite the mother's
nipple due to being confused by the differing nursing methods
being offered. It is 1\0l unusual for nipple confusion to contribute to
brea~t-feeding being c;topped 1 his is one of the r~portcd reasons
wh) many pcdlatllcians ,,dvocatc a ban on padficrs.
Then concerns are also great about transferring gem1~ to the
child ""1th il patJfier Ho\\ many times have you seen a child's pacifier dropped with vano•t' unclean behavior:; to follow? Some times
the pacifier ts retumed to tltt: baby's mouth without being cleaned
in an) wa). Yet. adults otlen throw a fit il any other item is picked
up off thC' Jloor and put directly into the baby's mouth. Another
thing l'vc seen nnd could not believe wa':t the mother that picked up
a dropped pacifier. placed it into her mouth to ''clean Jt off'. and
plopped it back into the baby's mouth. Cun you think of the various
gcm1s that were transmi ned?
Another posstble drawbacK to the ch1ld's habitual use of a pacifier is the negative tmpact on the development of gums and teeth.
Since I paid out many bucks for son John's orthodontic work due
to congenital problem:-, I cannot im,tgme paying it out for a condition that I helped to create. Th..n there Me the ~pecch pathologists

graduated boasted of GPA higher than those
of students totlay (which was not possible for
most classes) . Some average to good ball
players had been elevated to all-state status.
As would he fitting. Sunday took on a religious tone. The crowd was treated 10 some
old-time gospel songs b) the chmr- the only
requirement to being in the choir was the abil ity to get to the spot where they \\ere gathered
- and the singing was finished with
"Ama7ing Grace" sung by the choir and audience.
Don Fraley Jr. gave the message, and. to
his credit, he managed to impart a serious and
challenging thought to all reunion participants
-Make Christ a part of life- without taking all afternoon to do it. We thank you for
that. Don.
Afte1 his talk. an emotional candle lighting
ceremony took place. The only principal 10
attendance. Hugo Miller, lit a candle for
deceased former principals. and Clara Johnson
lit a candle in honor of deceased teachers.
Then a person from each decade was chosen to light a candle for all deceao;ed students
in that dt.!cade. Ruby Akers lit a candle for
the '30s. Geraldine Ward for the '40s. Mary

Treatment with on~ or more of
these medicines gi,cs relief for

A relapse of ulcerative colitis is

Infection. ~.:ith~r of the digestive

ulcerative colitis, repeat episodes
arc u-.ually brought under control
with medicine.
Regardless of your response to
the Asacol, you should have periodic examinations by a gastroenterologist (specialist in digestive
Jis~.:ases). You see, those with
ulc~.:rative colitis have an increased
risk of developing colon cancer.
·n1is is particularly true if the onset
was hefore age 20 or after 60, and
if the cmirc length of the colon is

type of cell that suggests cancer

cr, }OU should kiHm that I would ha\ e an opinion about the po-.sihlc psychological impact of pa1ents giving their chtld a pacifier. I ha\'l' to admit
that I ga\e J1lhn one until he \\as 6 months old. It was comforting to
think that I <.:ould soothe him, when h..: stopped crying after the plug was
inserted. Also it \\as nice to postpone fceJing time. when he had colic
'Jnd he was ha\ ing an "I \\·ant to cat" attack. However, ''hi I~.: pn.•gnant.
the decision was mnJc that the b:lb) would not have a pacifier past six
months. So he did not. Needless to say. he cricJ at times when the pacie
was put away in a dmwcr. He ''a~ not going to he walking and have a
pacifier pinned to his shirt. if I had anything to do with it. An ewn more
significant issue, in Ill) opinion. is that the older ehild are more like to be
aware of the padc being taken away. There arc prohahly more important
issues in parent-child relationships than struggling with a child's habit
that wao.; created b} the parent. Wonder ''hat n parent, '' ho smokes
~almost constantly, would think if a "higher power" took away all cigarettes and the adult hnd no control?
Well, 01} sense is that some folks would percci\e this as being really
again~·.t pacifiers. But I'm not. The) are great for the young bahy who has
colic with a need to suck more than othe1 babies \\lthout colic. Also it is
a great relief lor parents to feel that the) have been able to soothe their
crying infant. to a point of mod~.:ration . So often we used pacifiers to quieten habies who had surgery and could not eat. In very short summary.
paciliers n~.:ec.lto be used in moderation. if parents choo;c to usc them at
all. lt is one of those things that tend to he difficult to stop once it begms.

A fler teachers are trained, the program will impact over 500 students
as they learn to perform water sampling in their own neighborhoods.
Other dates and locations include
the following:
Union College
(September 23, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.);
two sessions at Lindsey Wilson
College (September 25 and
September 27 with both sess1ons

your lime."
PROJECT: Clean Streams is an
educational initiative that will
encourage teachers to include water
testing and analysis in their curriculum.
The PRIDE program is open to
grades 4 through 12 and its number
one focus is to involve students so
they learn and understand what 1s in
their water supply, how it can damage their health. and how to make a
difference.
"The goal is to have at least I00
schools participating in monitoring
our streams," said PRIDE executive
director Karen Engle. ''We are so
pleased to have PCC take the lead in
the training process for this important new initiative."
PRIDE will provide necessary
testing supplies and KERA-based
curriculum and will see that classroom teachers are trained on the use
of monitoring kits at regional facilities. That's where PCC joins the
partnership by hosting workshops
for educators and training the classroom teachers. Once trained by college staff, teachers will be able to
implement PROJECT:
Clean
Streams in their schools.
PCC has been an active partner
with PRIDE. The college recently
completed lhe first stage of the Big
Sandy Watershed Project, an environmental monitoring project.
Their eiiorts were made possible, in
part. through a $20.000 PRIDE
Cornmunity Grant

Zero down payment housing
loan program is a success
Do you need a home loan but
can't save enough for a down payment'! Do you believe you cannot
afford a horne loan to make your
dream come true'? Why not check
into the USDA Rural Development
Guaranteed Rural Housing {GRH)
e Loan Program?
The GRH program is designed to
asstst low to moderate-income fam·
ilies purchase a home without a
down payment. The lack of a down
payment often prevents a homebuyer from obtaining a loan from a pri·
vate lender. Loans may be for up to
100 percent of market value or for
the acquisition cost, whichever is
less. Loans may include closing
costs, guarantee fee, legal fees, title
services, cost of establishing an
escrow account and other prepaid
1tems, provided the appraised value
is higher than the sales cost. With
this program there is no limit on the
seller's contribution to closing cost,
among many other significant
advantages.
Some features of the guaranteed
program are: zero down payment
required; new. existing dwellings

State should
maintain college
funding plan
by JEFFERY HART
SYNDICATED COLUMNIST
We ure confident that must people would say they favor
ways to improve higher education in Kentucky. If we had one
University of Higher Education for the state, it would probably he pretty eUS).
It turns out \\e haw two major public universities and six
regional ones no\&i carrying the title of "comprehensive universities." When it comes to finding \&iay ... to dole out state
funding for those schools, it should be little surprise that consen-.us i" lo::;t and representatives of each head to a Jess-thanneutral comer.
We believe a system 1s m place to fairly determine how universities should be funded. That is in jeopardy of being unraveled by poliucal pressure from some regional universities. It is
time for tnte leaders to stand firm and not let the progress
made in a short time stan to subside.
In the past, state fundmg for the regional universitie~ tended to be decided by taking the total available and di-.iding by
six. The result. according to Gordon Davies, president of the
Council on Post-second.try Education. Wll.' ensuring that each
university rcm:uned average, with little chance for greatness.
When the council was l~Cated in 1997 to coordinate higher education, one of iL<; jobs was tn recommend each university's budget to the govemor. 'I() better assess all facets of the
universities, the council decided it W<t!'. best to identify other
univers1t1es around the country that were simJiar to each of
Kentucky's eight public universities, or those to which
Kentucky schools should nspirc. The final list of benchmark
universities for each Kentucky school .,.. as agreed upon by the
university pr~idcnb.
One facet of recommending funding le,cJ~ for Kentucky
universiues thts year was how they compared to their benchmarks. Northern Kentucky and Western Kentuck-y universities
\\ere both deemed to be underfunded and received the largest
recommended increase. Other unhersitie~ received smaller
mcreases. with Eastern Kentucky Uni\ersity the smalle.'t.
Once those numbers were known. benchmark budgeting
did not seem like such a good idea to the pre~idents of the
other four regional universities.
Tempers flared during the legislature and now the Strategic
Committee on Post-secondary 1:-:ducation, \&ihich includes
Gov. Paul Patton, legislative leaders and members of the council, plans to meet throughout the fall to assess the effectiveness
of benchmark budgeting.
Kentucky's public universities do not enjoy a reputation for
high quality outside the state. and that is why Patton worked
hard to push for change in their structure. Resistance to change
from within the universities should be expected to continue,
but state leader!'> must remember that their responsibility is to
provide opportunities for Kentucky students to have an excellent college educ<~tiun. not to protect the turf of college presidents.

--Guest Column
Blinded by the stars
by SCOTT HARSHBARGER
PRESIDENT, COMMON CAUSE
At the Republican and Democratic national conventions last month, we witne:-.sed two wellrehearsed and tightly scripted uffairs that were short
on issues and long on show, Much was said and
written about the extent to which ooth conventwn:-.
had hecome forums for outrageous displays of spc.;
cial-interest money and lacked the substance of an
informed dehate on issues vital to the American
people.
The party conventions were closed to the publit-.
y;ith the police keeping citi1:em. away from events
that used to be cxercb.es 111 gra:..sroob democracy.
The convention halls were temples to corporations
that paid handsomely to equip them, to provide gifb.
to delegates and to fete powerful members of
Congress at lavish parties. The convention .... noted
Sen. Russell Femgold (D-W1s.) were "the wor~t display of money and corruption in American hi-.tol).''
As one of the conveners of the Shadow
Convention~ 2000 in Philadelphia and Los Angelc-;,
I had the chance to witness a \'cry different kind of
convention, one where serious discussion about
important issues ruled the days and where citizen
participation was real and meaningful. I was also
witness to the hig donor parties and special access
that flowed in and around the Republican and
Democratic conventions and the corresponding
media coverage in ho.th cities.
Knowing that hoth convention~ were going to he
awash in special-interest money und influence. what
struck me most ahout m) experience in Philadelphia
and Los Angeles was thl' media's handling of the.
Storie!'. about the connection hem een special-interest monc) and the exclu~ive acce ...s grJnted to the
parties' hig donor~. In most respects. "'hat .,.. as happening in these two cities was the same~ ~ut my
observations of the media treatment tn C ahfom1a
left me wondering "'hy the stories coming out of
Los Angeles about th~ Ia\ ish affairs a~oun~ toY. n
seem to have, at a minimum, a tone qmte different
than much of what was corning out of Philadelphia.
This wns regrettable, for in l.o~ Angeles p~liticians
and special inter~sts got to rub clhows while keeping the cameras away.
.
In spite of hettcr rhetoric on the need lor cam-
paign finance reform, let there be no mistake- the
Democrats engaged their big money machines just
as much a thl' Republicans did und the access to
politician~ afltmlccJ to hig donors in L.A. rivaled
anything we ... aw (OI more often, read about) in
Philadelphia.
lhmever. m) .;ensc is that cm·crngc of this
access and influence hu)ing \\a-. swamped by the
attention paid to the ~wank parties with high-profile
celehritics Although there "'ere !\Ome notable
exceptions, such as the balanced coverage gi\'en by
Ruth \1arcu m '11u Washington Pmt. it ''as hard to
\\ alk cl\\ ay from L.A. without feeling as if too often
the press ga\e the Democrats a pa''·
What happened! Did the pre s get t1red of the
story after Philadelphm? Or \&i<l~ the comhination of
the lamous and the pO\\erful enough to blind some
in the med1a'!
Some media t) peo; them eh es ha\ e admitted that
perhap the) were co opted 10 Lo Angeles by the
access the) \&icre gt\ en to the big <."elebrit) bashes us
gue.\1.1 rather than jnurna/i'i/1, ·1 he price of admiso;ion for them? Not money. hut silence. As Joan
Vcnnochi. column1 t for the Boston Globe. noted
recently, "We arc the ones being '>1.:hmoozed and
entertainl.!d, then spun and positioned. We are the
one-; "'ho make our deals with the devil, gaining
acce:-.-. that makes us fl·cl important. on the grounds
that we will not tl'll anyone else what we saw or
heard.'"
In hcr account ol being .1 member of the press
gh en access to .1 celebrity ha-.h for Ted and
Caroline Kennedy. Vcnnochi noted that. "being
there "'as f.1r too sedut•tive. Walking the line
between working press and elite p.1rty-goer ''as just
too hard to do I \\ ent, I saw, ami I wanted to "'rite.
At the same time. I went, I drank wine, and I wanted to be an Jn-;Jder,''
·1 he corruption of our democral·y by big-mone)

The de.;ignation of Sen. Joseph
Lieberman as AI Gore's vice-presidential
choice breathed life into Gore's campaign,
in the sense that everyone began talking
about it. Prior to the !\election of Lieberman,
a strange silence surrounded the Gore campaign. as some polls had him a.., rnuch as 19
points behind.
And now. all of a sudden, the Lieberman
designation is ... interesting.
~
The most prominent thing we are hearing.
is that this is a breakthrough, that
Lieberman i' the firl>t Jew to be named to a
national ticket, and that this is a good thing,
indicative of our newfound openness and
tolerance.
I have read acres of commentary to this
effect, and not once ha \ e I seen the-name of
Barry ~torris Goldv. ater mentioned.
In 1964. Gold\&iatcr \lias nominated by
the Repuhlican!'. not for vice president but
for president.
Does anyone douht that Goldwater was
Jewish'!
Oh, it will be repliecJ. Goldwater was an
Epic;copalian.
~
But adherence to Judaism is not the definition of being Jewish.
Does anyone doubt that Karl .Marx was
Je\&i ish? Or Leon Trotsky'? Both loathed
religion. \Vas Spinola Jewish'! You bet. A
heretic. certainly. but Jewi-.h.
And how about Prime Mmister and novelist Benjamin Disraeli. No one with a name
like Disraeli ("of the Isr:1elite~'·) could be
mistaken for an lri. hman. Indeed, Di~raeli's
Je" ishne~~ wa-. an important part of his
charm for many Victorians.
So wh) is Goldwater being cheated out
of his undoubted '>latus as a ''breakthrough"? I'm not -.urc I have the answer. It
must have to do with the fact that the cate- •
gory of "Jewish'' npplics to both a religion
and to a "people."
When the Romans destroyed the local
Jewish state in 70 A.D .. much of thl' Jewish
population entered the "Diaspora" and
spread northward into central Europe and
Russin. hut also, to a lesser degree, throughout Europe and prohably even as far as
China. Yet, though dispersed. they remained
in widely varying degrees a "people,'" in the
same sense that a frenchman. however
assimilated, remains to some degree French
by inheritance.
This inhentance remains- perhaps ulti- ~
mate I) vanisheo;- independent of religion.
You can. as l ha' c obser. ed. be an irreligious. or even an anti-religious, Jew.
Does Goldwater':. Episcopalianism obliterate his Je\\ ishness? It seems to have been
largely inherited. He wa' not pious.
Indeed, from a Christian point of view,
the so-called Old Testament remains
absolute!\ esst.>ntial. From the point of \'ie,o,.·
of Judais~. Christianity is n Je\&ii-.h heresy.
The. God of Genesis must remain completely other, there heforc the beginning. and
certainly not wulking the streets of
Nazareth. Greek monotheism would not
have liked that idea either. Hut in many •
respects Judaism und Christianity are intimately related.
But was Goldwater kwish'l Of course he
was. So wh) is his name im isihlc as we
contemplate Lieberman'! Is the name
Lieberman more Je\&i ish than the name
Gold\&iater'!
When I get to the bottom of this I'll \\rite
another column on the subject.

Programs provide money for college
With the advent of the ne\\
school yeu~ thousands of high
~chool seniors arc no\\ gearing up
to appl) to their favorite colleges.
At the same time, ath ises the U.S.
Department of Education, famtlies
and students should begin the
process of applying for financial
aid.
The good news is that due to the
robust economy and new initiabeing
introduced
by
tives
President Clinton, there is more
money availahle this year than
ever before. rinancial aid experts
agree. hoY.evcr, that the sooner
families begin their search for
soun.:es that can help them. the
greater are their chnnces ~~f rcceh ing finan<:ial aid.
Current I). there arc more than
400,000 independent and private
scholarship and grant sources
available to students, some of
which pay I00 percent of a student's tuition. More than 80 percent of these scholar~hps do not
depend on family need or exceptional grades but arc awarded
based on factors such as a student's interests, hobhies, academic
focus. age. heritage. religion or
pa~ent's work or military experi-
ence.
According to the Wall Street
Journal, students "can increase
their chances of receiving financial
aid sirnpl) by understanding how
the proces!-. works." It is important
for students \\ ho want to enter col lege in the fall of 200 I to start
gathering infom1ation now to identify the sources that can help them.
The financial aid process can be
somewhat confusing. especially
for those going through it for the
first time. But students who learn
the basics and the inside workings
of the system are more successful
in securing scholarships and other
financial aid to help pay for
tuition. room and hoard, textbooks
and other costs.
Now, through the resources at
the National Academic Funding
Ad' isory (NAh\). an updated
pub Iication fot 2001 -2002 is avail<tblc to help ~tudcnts understand

The Allen Central Rebels "'ill be looking to get
back on the winning side of things with a win at
Cumberland tonight. Last week's 41-0 Dixie Bowl
loss to Cawood High School dropped the Rebels to 13 on the season. Allen Central's lone win this season
came at Jenkins. The Rebels defeated a struggling
Jenkins team 54-0 two weeks ago.
The Cumberland Rcdskins also took a big loss last
Friday night. Cumberland lost to the Somerset Briar
Jumpers 69-0. in a very one-sided contest.
Cumberland High School \\as at one time one of
the most dominant high school football teams in the
state. Cumberland has fallen on some hard time.s in
the past few years after making three trips' to the Class
A finals in the 1980's. The most notable Cumberland
High School football product in recent memory is former UK dcfcn~ive tackle
George Massey. Massey

Cumberland back in
1995.

ESPN brought into our living
rooms (family rooms, whatever) a
progmm that made them milliono; in
advertising dollars. And that was the
sole reason for bringing di•;posed
Indiana University basketball coach
Bobby Knight in front of the camera's- it sold advertisement and a
bunch of it.
Already, I am sick of hearing
,. about Knight. IU and Myte;; Br.md
(more so than all the hype about
Junior). Give me another 72 hours
of Andy Griffth. The man (Knight)
was fired, a blow to his ego. and that
settles it. Time to move on to other
things.
I like Mike Davis, who was hired
as interim head coach, replacing
Knight.
What shoes he hao; to fill! Davis
will be just the op)XlSite of Kmght
and the lyp.! of coach you root for
rather than pulling lor to get him
fired.
The media. college coaches. IU
fan-; and others have O\ erlooked one
thing in siding "ith Knight. a zerotolerance te-.el i~ exactly that. even if
it was not "defined" to the former
Indiana coach. After aJI. a-. an educator. he should have learned the
meaning of "zero."
Davis' hiring, no doubt. was an
compromise with the returning players. They wanted Davis or they were
going to do a "mao;s exodus." They
got D-avis and not a bad choice at all.
Coach Knight inforrnOO us la'>l
night that he would indeed coach
again at another institution. Some
j are saying in Big Sky country where
~ Bobby likes to hunt and fish.
At 59, I am sure he hao; several
good coaching years left However,
what school, who is interested in hiring him. will not first sit down and
inform him they do not want a
repeat of IU at their school and right
from the start issue a "no-tolerance"
alert. Good Knight!!

The Betsy Layne Bobcats hit the road for the
fourth week in a row tonight after suffering
three consecutive road losses in as many games.
Coach Ted George and his Bobcats travel to
face an unfriendly high school football team in
the form of the Evans Wildcats. The Wildcat~
are having quite a :.eason thus far.
Evarts like Betsy Layne began thl! season
with a win. E\ans defeated coach Nathan

The Johnson County Middle School 8th grade football team ventured into Hi l I at this past Tuesday and
played the part of :1 !>poilcr; crashing the party on South
• Floyd Middles' homecoming festivities. A 7-6 halftime score left the Raiders trailing by a single point.
However. Johnson County erupted for two scores in
the third quarter :tnd tacked on another in the fourth to
post a 27-6 victory mer the Raiders.
Johnson County got on the ~corehoard in the first
quarter when tailback Shane Wehb ran the pigskin in
from 5 yards out. Johnson County quarterbacl\ Nick
Music hit Scottie McCoy on a 1-point conversion pass
to make it a 7-0 JCMS lead. (Note- In middle school
conference play a PAT kick count-; as 2 points and a run
counts as 1.)
The Raiders got on thl' scoreboard in the <;econd
quarter when quarterback Wesley Hall hit Jordan
Johnson on a 5 yard touchdown pass. South Floyd then
lined up and tried a conversion. only to see it stopped
; cold by the stingy JCMS defense. Nevertheless, the
Raiders went into half-time tmiling by a lone point.
The third quarter was the pivotal turmng point in
Tuesday night's game. Johnson County's Shane Webb
scored on two separate nms in the third stam~a. The
first a I2 yard run was followed by an unsuccessful
conversion try; the second a 2S yard scoring gaHop
was followed up by a cum ef',ion pass from Casey
Music complete to split end Corey Caudill. South
Floyd showed no signs of getting an) significant
offense started going into the fourth quarter.
Leading 20·6. JCMS Coach Eddie Blair saw his
team put the game away when tailback/linebacker
Scottie McCoy broke lose on a 40 yard touchdown
scamper. Nick Mus1c ran in the follow-up conversion,
but it was another Music. (one with one extra letter on
the end of his last name) Seth Musick who set up the
Eagle scoring drive. Fullback Seth Musick finished the
game with 65 yards on I 0 carrks.
"It's always n pretty tough contest at South Floyd."
said JCMS Coach Eddie Blair. 'Their kids have
improved since the grid. We had a solid game overall.
Our defense continues to be strong with our first unit
only giving up I Touch do\\ n all ~cason. A balanced
attack in the hacklield was a big ke) in this game. We
pounded the middle with Seth Musick for a while nnd
then broke it open with our outside speed."
"Many people like to auribute our success to the
number of players we have. Jlowever. one pf the
biggest keys has been our schedule strength. We try to
schedule the best teams we can play. We usually try to
play 12-15 games in a season."
If Coach Lanny Hall's South Floyd Middle School
team had came out and executed as it had in the first
half of the bull game Raider fans could have witnessed
a totally different game outcome. South Floyd's offensive line didn t hold up as well ns they had in the first
half of play.

Art Gallery at the Mountain Arts Center
through October 27.
This photographic essay is composed of
60 sepia-toned black and white tmages concerned with the visual and conceptual character of abandoned roadside homes,
schoolo;, and stores
tn
Kentucky.
Morningstar refers to these structures as the
last visual evidence of a disappearing popular culture. All of the photographs were
taken in 1999.
"The images acknowledge the final state
of a physical and social transformation.''
said Morningstar. "As a teacher and artist
living in Kentucky for the last 23 years. it is
important to incorporate my environment
into my art work.
"Looking at these pictures is like looking
at Grant Wood's famous 'American Gothic'
without the pitchfork-wielding farmer and
his plain-looking wife,'' said David Minton,

while
Sara Wheeler Blair
The Night
the Knight
Went Out in
Indiana
For many years now, l (as well as
many other avid basketball f<~us)
have been watching the coachm~
brilliance of Indi~a University
Coach Bob Kmght: but as of this past
Sunday. his winning streak came to
an abrupt end after he was dismtssed
for grabbing a student by the arm ;~ntf
cursing him for addressing him by his
surname. But as much as I admirt~tf
Knight's expertise of the game. 1
can't say r m sorry bis Hon~ier
coaching days are over.
The news media keeps msrstmg
that Coach Knight's temper finally
"did him in." However, I tend 111
believe that his violent behavior and
not hts temper was the "straw thai
broke the coach's back." This inci
dent prompted u major di~c:u~sion
lwl\\f.:l'n my Indiana-born nephew-inIn\\ unJ myself
"I o(\ uf pl·oplc have a temper
1 racv. hut It doesn't escalate mtn vtoh·ncc.'' T slated
' lie Wn!in't \Jolcnt," Tracy
;11gucd ''1-k wa., only trying to get
h1s pmnt across...
..Hl· gutbbcd u student by the arm.
What do you call that?" I asked.
"Ah, the kid was being disrespectful," I racy shrugged. "The coach was
just trying to get his attention. The
coach told him he should be more
rt·~pcctfulto an adult and address him
us m1ster or coach."
I looked at Tracy in di:.bclief. Did
he nctually heHeve that Bobby
Kuiglll v.as trying to teach manners
or euquene w another human being?
The ~;amc Bobby Knight who threw a
chair across a basketball court in
front of thousands of onlookers'! The
sann: Bobby Knight who, in a fit of
anger, ~.·hoke-d a basketball player?
And 'rracy rhnught that this was the
'>arne Dobby Knight who was just trying to c;et an example for the student
body by grabbing a kid by the arm
and admonishing him for not addressing him m a more respectful way?
"I wao; there the night he threw
that chair across the gymnasium
floor, nnd he wasn't aiming it at anyone. In fact, if you want the honest
tluth, I think he was offering it as a
seal to a person on the other side of
the court."
"Give me a break, Tracy," I
huffed. "And l guess when he ran out
onto Lhe court and choked Lhat player
he was JUSt congratulating h1m on his
performance." I added.
··sara:· Tracy reasoned. "Bobby
Knight i~ JUSt as rc,·cred by the people of Indiana as Rupp is to the fans
of Kentucky basketball. He doesn't
deserve to be booted out just because
of some smart aleck kid, who obviously couldn't play basketball anyway and didn ' t like v. hat was said to
him.
Why. he was a professor. He even
taught a clas!l."
"What did he teach, basketball?" I
laughingly asked.
"Not just basketball, Sara," Tracy
sighed. "He was going to be teaching
a basketball coaching class."
"Oh, now, well that's different," I
said sarcastically. "When I was in
school we called that type of class
physical education."
'"When you were in school," Tracy
buffed, "physical education was playing jacks and dodge ball!"
"Tracy," 1 tried to point out, "can't
you see that Knight was an unrepentant jerk who treated people like dirt?
He could have acted like an adult and
ignored the kid's remark. Instead he
reacted much more childish than the
guys he coaches."
Tracy just shook his head as he
adjusted the neck on his IU jersey. He
then looked directly at me and said,
..You just don't get it. Success has its
own benefits. When you have woo as
many games and titles as Coach
Knight, you have a right to possess a
little attitude."
I guess I just don't understand the
difference between having a temper
and violent behavior. It must be a guy
thing.

Roberts opens
photography
series Oct. 6
Holly Roberts will be the first speaker of Lhe 2000-200 I
Robert C. May Photography Endowment Lecture Series,
on Friday, October 6, at 4 p.m .. in the Worsham Theatre in
the University of Kentucky Student Center.
To accompany this lecture (as with others in the series).
the museum will display a selection of the photographer's
work during the weeks before and after the day of the lecture.
Roberts 1s an internationally recogni:red interpreter of
the American Southwest. Her painted photographs combine ~e factual premise of photography - documenting
what ts seen-with Lhe artifice of painting - rendering
what is imagined.
Using her photographs as an emotionally potent ground,
Roberts paints over most of Lhem to create images of a dog,
a bird, or a person set against a vague, muted background,
a signature iconography which draws inspiration f;om the
Native American, Mexican, and Hispanic cultures of her
native Southwest.
Roberts' painted photographs are intimate and mysterious, drawing the viewer in close to consider the concealed
and revealed images.
Born in Boulder. Colorado, m 195 I, Roberts studied at
the Belles Artes de Mexico, San Miguel de Allende and the
University of New Mexico in Quito, Ecaudor and in Santa
Fe, where she received her B.A. in 1973. In 1980, she
earned her MFA from Arizona State University.
She received Lhe Ferguson Grant from The Friends of
Photography in 1985 and a NEA grant in 1986 and 1988.
Roberts· work. has been featured in several publications
including a 1989 monograph published by The Friends of
Photography. She lives in Corrales, New Mexico.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER
15, 2000
by CAROL COMBS-MORRIS, DVM
I have mentioned before thutth~ field of
animal behavior and training is undergoing
tremendous changes. Methods that have
been accepted for years have either been
dtscarded outright or have become just
some of the many tools available. No
longer are terms such as positive reinforcement, operant conditioning, and behavior
modification used only by psychology
majors. They have become the language of
trainerli and behaviorists, and they are starting to crop up in mainstream literature and
tele' i<;ion shows.
When my husband and I were taught to
trajn dogs. our instructor, Chuck Justice,
was a stickler for using only what is
allowed in the competitive obedtence nng
- a slip training collar. a six-foot lead. and
absolutely NO food rewards. And his methodr; worked for him; he bad a
gift for adapting them to dtfferent dogs and different
handlers. After several years
of classes with him, he
hounded us (no pun intended), along with a couple of
other students, to begin teaching in this area. Tragically,
Chuck died of a massive
heart attack just as we were
finishing our first class, and
we lost our mentor.
Although Pat was determjned to carry oo Chuck's methods, we were beginning to have
LEISURE TIMES
problems. When !>umething just wasn't
coming together for n dog and/or handler.
lacking Chuck's experience. we sometimes
were at a los~ for what to do. I had decided
to leave my general veterinary practice in
order to concemrate on behavior medicine,
and I was beginning to be exposed to many
different training methods. I was starLing to
see opportunities to use some of rhe new
techniques. Some of my eagerness to take
advantage of them also steemed from the
fact that I have dyslexia; the knowledge
that different animals and people learn in
different ways is very much on my mind.
My disability was not diagnosed until my
college roommate, an education major,
pointed it out. If the new methods of teaching the learning disabled had been available when I was younger, I am sure things
would have been much easier.
Pat however, felt strongly that we had
been entrusted to carry on a legacy, and he
could not shake the feeling that any deviation from the way we were taught was a
betrayal of Chuck's trust.
This sounds crazy, but the only really
heated disagreements we have had in
our marriage have been over dog training methods! The really big blowup
occurred the night I put a Gentle
Leader halter on an unruly dog in
class. Yes, Pat was right, this dog
would have eventually settled
down using the traditional methods, but my view was. why spend
two or three weeks getting this
done when the halter accom-
•
plished the same thing in
thirty minutes? A few days
later, after we both calmed
down. we finally sat down
and had a rational discussion.
Pat's argument was
that the::.e new types of
equipment and other aids.
such as food, were not
allowed in the obedience ring.
(He is right. only a plain collar and specific commands and hand signals are legal in
competition obedience. Even such minor
things as an extra movement of a hand can
be penalized as an extra command.) My
position was that some of these dogs would
never see the inside of an obedience ring if
we didn't get them under control first. In
addition, we routinely use extra commands
and body movements that would not be
allowed in the ring when teaching new
exercises; we later drop them when the dog
no longer needs the extra help. We finally
came to a compromise. We would try some
of the new stuff if it was warranted, but primarily as a teaching aid. We would phase
the additional things out as the dog and
handler progressed to where it was no
longer needed. In addition, in the more
advanced classes, which were aimed primarily at those handlers who wanted to
compete, we would stick to the basics.
The fear that we were doing something
terrible by trying new things was dispelled
when I talked to Chuck's widow, Jan. Her
view was "You are not Chuck, and you may
..
THE FLOYD COUNTY T IMES
as well forget doing everything just
like him. Do what you feel you
need to do and what works for
you, and don't worry about it.''
This removed a huge amount of
pressure from me, although I suspect
it took Pat much longer to feel better
about it. Truth be told, it still bothers
him a tittle, and he has embraced some
new ideas much more easily than others.
We try all sorts of new things now in
class; last week we even set up a ''miniagility course" when the dogs became
bored with the routine. Jumps. tunnels and
slightly elevated boardwalks seemed to
restore some enthusiasm in both dogs and
handlers; also. the dogs were having 10
really think again instead of going through
the rote exercises. In one of our classes
almost every dog is now, or at one time
was, using a Gentle Leader; in another we
have needed nothing but the traditional
approach and equipment - everything
depends on the individuals. In one class we
are even experimenting with "clicker training'', which 1 intend to devote an entire
article to in the future.
While we are certainly not churning out
the obedience trial competitors that Chuck
did, 1 like to think that there are some dogs'
lives io this area that have been made better. By learning the manners they needed to
be good companions, hopefully these dogs
have better relationships with their human
families, regardless of what method it took
to get them there.

It's time to end racial profiling
by JON COFFEY
A Wa~hington, D.C. pubhe defender who is AfricanAmerican was returning from
a family funeral last year with
his aunt, uncle and 29-year
old cousin when was pulled
over by a state trooper for
speeding
in
Westem
Maryland while driving 60
miles per hour. The family
was ordered out of their car
and made to stand on the side
of the road in the rain while
their rented Cadillac was
searched for drugs by dogs.
Skin color has a lot to do
with an American's likelihood of getting pulled over,
busted, unprisoned, and even
sent to death row. Police say
that the country':. war on
drugs has given them sanction to go after anyone who
looks like a drug courier or
gang member, but the pmctice of racial profiling has
spread so widely that many
see it as nothlng more lhan
systematic discrimination.
"We are tired of walking
while black, getting arrested
for breathing while black,
and living while black,'' said
NAACP President Kwesi
Mfume, at a "Redeem the
Dream" event at National
Mall in Washington on Aug.
26. which organizers say
drew an estimated 100.000.
The ACLU has been
pressing for reforms, such as
ending the practice of stops
for non-traffic purposes in the
name of searching for drugs;
creation of a ~tatistically-rig
orous database of all similar
traffic stops to sec if the practice of racial profiling is an
isolated complaint or pervasive social phenomenon; legislation in every state to statistica!Jy monitor tmffic stops
on an ongoing basis: and
requiring
the
Just1ce
Department to take steps to
ensure that racial profiling is
not used in federally-funded
drug interdiction programs.
Everyone should be elated
by the Justice Department's
recent announcement of a I 0

ANSWER: Some doctors and dentists have the pharmacist prepare a mixture containing an antibiotic and one of
the cortisone drugs. The antibiotic most
frequently chosen is tetracycline. Which
cortisone drug is chosen is anything but
universal. Patients swish the liquid m
their mouths and then spit it out.

feeling that racial profiling
has mutated into "zero tolerance'' for color. You can
understand the reluctance of
police to follow some of
these guidelines. Officers
who work in high-crime
areas where frequent patrols
play a significant part in preventing crime might balk at
being held to task for every
stop they make.

And when two black
