Treat, try
Walker like
a traitor
ohn Walke• looks for all the \\Orld like a traitor. He should
be treated likt.· one. Walker ~~ the 20-year-old former
CalifOJ nian draggt.·d out of the Atghanistan prison camp
along with the Taliban fighter:. he apparently joined after
deciding Americu W<lS rw plu<:e for a brighl. young man to seek
his fortune.
Walker ~onvencd to Islam Four years ago and fought ·houldcr-to-should!!r with the Taliban. Whether he did battle against
the American war effort - a key factor in deciding if Walker
can be convkted of treason - i:; still undetermined.
But wh.u is know j, that Walker supported the wretched
regime thar had as ib objective the destruction of the United
States. He ma) have hccn part of Osama hin Laden's AI-Qaeda
organization and reponodly supported "holeheanedly the Sept.
ll terronst attacks on hts native lcmd. although ll is not known
whether ht• playc-d a rok m the planning or execution.
Nor b It kno'" 11 whether Walker participated in the fatal
beating of a CIA agent during the uprising at the Mazar-iSharif prison camp. But the fact that Walker was in
Afghanistan, fighting to support one of the most evil governments in the history of mankind. makes him a real bad guy. not
the imprc~sionablc, wayward youth described by his attorney.
James Brosnahan. If you buy that argument. how can you not
also apply it to the young suicide terrorists who carried out the
Sep1. II auacks aftc..·t being brainwashed by bin Laden?
The United St<Hcs is at war. and its cititens should undl ~
stand there arc o,;cvcrc consequences for supporting the ene ny.
At some point. Walker had I(} know the bombs falling on h m
and his fellow villains were coming from American planes. At
thut point, he !ihonlcl have quit the fight.
The Bush .tdtniuistnsthm h:.1~ made the case for suspending
due prucess and h') ing war criminals - as he labeled the
Taliban and ai-Qacda- tn militaty tribunals.
If that·~ good enough for foreign-born enem1es. 1t' s good
enough for Walker. It the Ia\\ won't permir that. given his tenuous clairn on U.S. citiNnship. \\'a!J..:er ~hould be promptly tned
for treason- or hauled into civilian courtlCI be tried on whatever other charge can he made to stick. Pres.ident George W.
Bu~h has dc!'<.:ribed Wulkcr as a ·•poor felloY.. .. who has ob\'iously been "misled,''
That's a hjpocritical swnce. II the Taliban fighters in
Afghanistan are criminals whose harc;h justice will be delivered
by the United Slates. then so i:> Walker.
The militmy's finding:; about Walker's activities in
Afghanistan may well dictate how Walker is prosecuted here a1
home. But let'-. not gt'l prcmalurcly squeamish. Legal hurdles
can be uvcrtomt·. Walker should not be allowed lo hide behind
the citizen~hip he so obviously desptsed when he made his bed
with enemiel) of America.

lustory by this date.
While we are experiencing one of
America's gra\'eSt hours, the strength of
our great counrry has alway~ been its
ability to overcome both adversity and

examples of leadership emerge. We have

military in their response to this aggression. A~ Amcrtcans we must continue to
move forward and prove to the world that
our spirit and resolve wiU not be broken
by a group of crazed terrorists. Thjs holds
parucularly true for Kentucky.
Over a decade ago citizens in
Kentuck} took up the mantel of leadership when they commuted themselves to
relonning the cducarional product in the
state. The 1990 Kentucky Education
Reform Act and the 1997 Postsecondary
Educanon Improvement Act happened
because citizens, legislators, business
leaders, community leaders, educators
and students pannered together ro make
them a reality. A commitment was made
to stop the 100 years of decline that had
resulted in Kentucky being ranked at the
bottom of state:;. in many indicators
including education. per-capita income.
and other quality-of-life issues. These
pieces of legislatton took courage and
vision from all of us because it required
that we think beyond the next election
and the next generation to the Kentucky
of 2020 .md beyond . In tllese tough economic and uncertain war times it is even
more 1mportam that we don't lose sight
of the 20-year journey we are on to aller
the course of history and put Kentuck>
on a trajectory course that will move us
above the national avera~e and make u~ a
center of excellence.
In the State of the Commonwealth

Governor. I said I had four
priorities ... educauon. educnuon. education and education. That may sound a little redundant but they are four very
unique. but separate. educational pnorities that include enrly childhood education. elementary and secondary education, postsecondary education and adult
education. It is important that we remain
cotrumtted to each one of these areas to
ensure that Kentucky becomes a major
player in rhe Nev. Knowledge Based
Economy. Education reform does not
happen overnight; in fact, in man} cases
we are talking years and in some cases,
decades to bring about change. We are.
JUSt now beginning to reap the rewards of· ~
our decade-long effort.
• For the first time. Kentucky's high:
school and grade school students are per- :

• Enrollment in the Kentucky

~
• $21,600.000 in KEES Scholarships

security will no doubt be much tighter
than 10 years past. "but I don't think it
ever even occurred to anyone that we
should cancel thts show, he adds firmly.
'Thts is a tradition for many
Americans. and it represents somethmg
important to them. It's important that we

BEHIND
ENEMY LINES
After three months of continuous. 24-hour TV news coverage of the "war on terrorism,"
and that endless. ubtquitous
"crawl" at the bouom of m}
television screen. I guc ... s the
last thing I needed to do was
spend two hours watching a
mo\ ie about a military action in
a mountainous foreign land.
·'Behind Enemy Lines"
would have been a grea! film ...
in 1984. It has all rhc elements
for a Reagan-era. "Top l.un"
popcorn nick: quick cuts. lots
of explosions and a huge, heaping dollop of American jingoistic babble. In fact, instead of
going to see "Belund Enemy
Lines." why not save yourself a
couple of bucks and rent "Top
Gun" or "Red Dawn" or
"Missing In Action" instead'?
The film stars that blond guy
from "Shanghai Noon .. and
··zoo lander,·· Owen Wilson. He
plays a Navy pilot named Chris
Burnell. While on a rouunc
photo mission.
Burnell is '\hot down after he
accidcmally snaps some ptx of a
cm,en operation that would
make the 1\:ATO alliance tonk
had diplomati\:~tlly
Burnell's commander,
Admiral Leslie Reigart. is
played by Gene Hackman, who
gets to chew up and spit out the
majority of rhe fi lrn's h) perAmerican let's-open ·a-can-ofsmackdown-for-Uncle-Sam dialogue.
Reigan is tom between playing it by the book and following
diplomatic procedure (Read:
Wussing out and leaving Blond
Pouty Boy to die) or assembling
a strapping cross-section of
USDA Prime Military Beefcake
and "putting them in harm's
rcconnai~sancc
v. ay" (Read: Opcrung aforementioned can of smackdown on a
bunch .o f ,')V. nrthy foreigner<.,
thercb) rcscmng the blond foofoo bo) tl1c girls 111 the nudtcuce
are all

over).
We all know wbtch option

It seems Old Man Winter Is finally creeping Into Floyd County, with colder temperatures lurking where
unseasonably warm temperatures stood just a few weeks ago. Although snow flurries yesterday morning didn't stick around long, ice cascading the water's edge In Middle Creek at Archer Park as a reminder
that more may be on the way.
The city of Prestonsburg's ordinance commiLtee wtll assemble today for a special meeting in hopes of di ...cu~sing nnd com·
ing to a decision about the possible benefit:-. or problems that
may anse from a long standing trend of temporary businc~<>eS
within the city.
Dunng an intervie\\- yesterday. Prestonsburg Ma)Or Jerry
Fannin said Lhe types of establishments in question would not
include such temporary establishments ali vendor ~tands that
often come and go with various festival!.. but would mther
highlight short-term businesses lhat could possibly damage
permanent businesses within Lhe city by rerouting money out of
the city.
Fannin said local businesses which have eswhlished and
maintamed the business for some time will often put money
back into the community. mther lhan takmg prolit on a -;hon
term basis and leaving without having invested very much in
the community which has allowed it temporary residence.
"I Lhink a look at some ordinances would be a good thing,"
said Fannin yesterday "We need to see how the.;;e types of businesses ure effecting our permanem "busine1>sc~. F<.r f•u,.ine~~~

ln order to set up a vendor's stand. one onl) needs tCl pay thl'
permit fee, according to Fannin. \\hile a permanent business
will be made to pay any number of other expenses including
property tax and payroll. costs \Vhich temporary establishment-:
are not confronted with.
Although Fannin admitted he could not elaborate on what
types of ordinances would fall under discussion today, or what
types of changes or adjustments could come as a result, he did
say that the problems for local businesses was fairly evident.
"If you have someone who comes in and JUst pays a permit
fee. they take the money out of town instead ol keeping it
here,'' said Fannin. "Wil.h local, established businessl·s. you
have, for example. organizations who come nnd these busi·
nesses will donate. This type of thing keeps money local and
you don't have this kind of thing with people who JUst come in
and set up."
Some types of temporary stands Fannin made direct mention of yesterday were fruit stands. furniture stands, Chri~tmas
tree stands and meat stands. as well as firework stands. \\ hich
could single-handedly become a factor with the c.:elebrauun of

Prestonsburg High School student Lora Goble said she is not
disappointed that her efforts
weren't going exactly where
she thought, as long as they
are helping.
In some instances. urbnn legends and
myths live and breathe among the circles of
society almost as easily as the Lrulh. a fact that
can leave a disappointing stint for Lhose pulled
into believi ng such a myth
For one Preston :~burg High School studenL
however, a well known urban legend did not
evolve into disappointment. In fact. the truth
17-year-old Lora Goble learned was quite
similar to the reason she began believing in
the first place - a desire, the ability to help
can make a difference.
Goble. daughter of Bonnie and Billie
Goble of Prestonsburg. began collecting pulltabs from soda cans in October. tabs she and
many others believed would be used as token~>
for free chcmothcrap) or dialysis treatments
for a West Virginia child plagued with cancer.
However. as with many urban legends
passed through generation:.. there's more than
meets the eye with Goble's story of determination and destre to help. According to representatives w1th the National Cancer Society,
no such program currently exiSL<; for cancer
patients.
''It's just a fable." said Sm• ie Blatt,
Huntington volunteer for the Ronald
McDonald House. "Years ago, before the
Ronald House was even built, a man pulled up
wttb a pickup truck full of tabs, saying he collected them for d1aly.sis treatment for a
patient. I told him, 'Honey, that's just a fau)'
tale.' l don't know if that is why we started
recycling rabs or not, but for whatever reason.
it's a good project that helps so many people."
Goble said <.he learned of the mythical
''tabs for Lreatment program" during a VlSII
with a famil) friend, Ballard Plummer. of
Prestonsburg. a member of the Brothers of the
Wheel Motorcycle Club, a charity organization based in Lnwrencc County.

his garage.
According to Plummer. the club planned to
donate the tabs to provide chcmothempy treatment to Lhc lillie girl in West Virginia, a plea
lhat urged Goble to devote her own timl' to
collect tabs for the child on her own. He. too,
believed the myth. as did several other mem·
bers of the motorcycle club. who had collected several thousand cola tahs for the same lit·
tie girl \\ ilh cancer.
'Three or four weeks latl·r, her dnddy
brought a whole bucket of tabs,'' li&id
Plummer. "She took it upon herself. We great·
I) appreciate anything like that for needy people. That's what our club's about."
To begin her project, GClblc lined thl' class·
rooms at Prestonsburg lligh s~·hool \\ ith plastic totes and encouraged classmates and fnmi1) members to pitch in cola tal:ls that nomutlly
would be tossed with the trash.

Doctor's orders
pproximate!) 300.000 Americans will die this year
from conditions a. sociatcd with being overweight. The
vital mes. age Surgeon General Da\ id Satcht;r i~ trying
to get across to more p~oplc is simple: Eat less and exercise
A
more.
Obestty- rclated deaths are second onl) to tho~e caused h)
cigarette smokmg - 400.000 a year - which is the leading
preventable case of death in the United States. And \\ ith the
number of smokmg-rclatcd death:- falling and obesity-related
deaths rising. obesity could soon claim th~ top spot.
That's why Dr. Satcher 1ecenlly urged schools. communities and emplo) crs Lll rind ways to help people get more exercise and trim the fat from their diets. Failing to address
weight-related problems ··could wipe out some of the gains
we've made in areas such as h~:art disease. several fmms of
cancer. and other chronic health problems,'' Dr. Satcher said.
Even being modem Lei) overweight - carrying 10 to 20
excess pounds - increase~ the risk of premature death, particularly among adults aged 30 to 64.
I n 1999. 61 percent of U.S. adults. 13 percent of children
aged 6 to II year!!> .md 14 percent of adolescents were overweight. One in four adults is con idcred obese. defined as
more £han 30 percent above ideal body weight. The numbers
are steadily increasing. The obesity r.tte for adults has doubled
since 1980; the numbc1 of 0\ crwetght adolescents has tripled .

that includes monc) spent on Jost days at work for illnesses
caused or worsened hy weight problems. including hean dis~
ease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, artJuitis. breathing problems and
psychological disorders such as depression.
The prescription for change is \\CII-knuwn. For aduhs. it
takes about 30 minutes a day of moderate exercise - 60 minutes for children mo:--t days of the week. The trick is motivation. Most of us know we need to cut down on Big Macs and
take the stairs. not the ekvator.
Perhaps that's why Dr. Satcher is aiming at policy setters.
not couch siucrs. He wants schools to pro\ ide daily physical
education for C\cry grade and bu~inesses to pro\ ide time for
workers to exercise. He also recommends that communities
make sure they have plenty of safe sidewalks. walking trails
and playgrounds. School should also prO\ ide health) food
choices. like those in the Rockwood School District, where
grilled chicken breasb and salads are available ar the high
schools and elemental') school ~tudents can pick yogurt and
animal crackers O\ cr the st<mdard com dogs and chicken
nuggets.
Dr. Satcher's four-year term ends in February. His successor. to be named by President Gt.:orge W. Busb, should continue delivering this important public health message. Americans
who have hecomc l'carful for their lives since Sepl. 11 should
be mindful that they urc many more times likely lo die from
being overweight - something they can control - than from
terrorism or anthrax.

Shelby VaHey on Wednesday night to
take on the Jenkins Cavaliers in the
Hobert Potter Classic. 1'he Rebels

Jenkins seemed to get to the loose
balls and also win the battle on the
boards. Allen Central has been a team
that plays in spurts this sea-;on as evi-
dent by shocking the defending 15th
Region champ South Floyd earlier in
the year. Allen Central also struggled
to contain the big men of Jenkins in
the paint. as lhe Cavaliers got se'\ieral
second and third tries at their shots.

Kentuc~y's best pure shooter" in Jared
Tackett, the 6-3 guard lit up the
Rebels for six three poimers on his
way to a game high 33 points. The
Cav::; also have a mcnadng presence
in the paint in Micah Oden who tossed
in 20 points for Jenkins. The duo of
Tackett and Oden sealed the Rebs fate
on this night by combining for 53 of

Allen Central came out early in the
contest and took the lead on the

so the best team prevails.
That"s how it is in the
NCAA basketball tournament,
right" Guess again.
Was Villanova really the
be::.t team in college basketball
in 1985', No. the Wildcats
played me one perfect game it
would take to upset a
Georgetown that had proven
itself better lhan ·Nova during
the rest of the season. And
would you have taken N.C.
State or Houston in a senes in
1983? Upset that Nebraska
didn't win the Big 12 title and
yet plays for the nauonaltitle
over

champion
Colorado? Villanova was only
a middle of the pack team in the
Big East that year.
Don't get me wrong-! love
Lhe way college basketball's
title is decided. But that doesn't
mean it's Lhe best way for the
football schools to go_
Obviously. football is not a
sport that lends itself to playing
that many games in such a shon
span of time. And if you had
only eight or 16 "power"
schools lining up to play in the
basketball tournament every
year, l don't think fans would
find il nearly as appealing as
they do know Undoubtedly,
the surprising success of teams
like Valparaiso or Hampton or
Coppin State is as important to
the success of the NCAA basketball tournament as the
Final Four and there's no
way you can incorporate that
kjnd of small school charm into
a football playoff with so many
fewer participants.
There are also emotional
reasons for keeping the bowl
system in place.
From my experience, r don't
think round-by-round progression through a playoff tournament could match the special
kind of "big event" atmosphere
that bowls generate for players.
coaches and fans.
Personally, r d like lO ~ee a
return to a system in which
there arc few. tf any Lie-ins
between conferences and
bowls. Lower-tier bowls could
set up games between two
schools that truly want to be
J
there while rne bigger bowls
wouJd be geared toward
matchups that would help set
the field for a mini-playoff.
I don't always agree with
ESPN analyo;t Lee Corso, but
I've long adYoCat.cd what the
method he suggesb for d~c id ·
ing the national champion.
Develop a plan for identifying
the top two (or four) teams after
tbe bowl season ends and let
them meet in a one-game playoff for the title (perhaps on me
Saturday before the Super
Bowl). Rarely has the debate

Rick Pitino. one of the most
brilliant minds in coaching,
began a new era in University
of Louisville men's basketball
when he was named head
coach of the Cardinals on
March 21.
Pitino has embraced the stoned tradition of Louisville
Basketball and made a commitment to producing a vibrant
program that will soon chal-
eight players who were drafted
by the NBA. including six in
the first round (three lottery
picks).
Pitino, 49. got his start in
coaching ac; a graduate assistant at Hawaii in 1974 and
served as a full-time assistant
there in 1975-76. He served
two seasons as an a:-.sistant at
Syracuse under .Tim Boeheim
from J976-78.
Pitino was only 25 years old
when he accepted his first head
coaching job at Boston
University in 1978. He produced a 91-51 record in five
year:-. there. departing as the
most successful coach in BU
history. In hi~ final season
there. he guided the Terriers to
their first NCAA Tournament
appearance in 24 years. He was
twice named New England
Coach of the Year (1979,
1983).
Now, it is almost time. It's
almost time for arguably dle
most
highly-awaited
Kentucky-Louisville
game
ever. And with it comes all the
numbers and all the hoopla.
Amazingly. thh game centers
around the two head coaches as
much as it does the two teams
and player:. that make up the
teams.
Tubby Smith captured an
NCAA Championship in his
first season at Kentuck)'. Some
say that championship was
won with Pitino's players. and
in all reality it was. But, it was
Pitino who opted to bolt for the
NBA and the Boston Celtics.
Saturday when Kentucky
and Louisville tip tt off in
Lexington. two teams wiili two
coaches with a long history of
friendship will square off. May
the best team and the best
coach win.

Some things are just common sense. So when I heard
about a telephone service offering high-tech solutions at
affordable rates, I was more than a httle interested.
When I learned they also offered local telephone service,
long distance, Internet and paging, together in a low-cost
bundle. I was sold. So it's only natural they'd become
my telephone service, too.

The Ali movie begins with

h1s equally :.hocking llp!.et of
Oeorgc f-oreman in Il)74. The
f-oreman fight w11~ held in
Za.trc, in Africa, anJ was the
subject of an outswndlng documentary movie cntllled, ''\\hen

I remember that era vividly,
One side of me said that if so
many of us had to join the service, why shouldn't Ali? But a
more powerful feeling was
admiration for his willingness to
take a stand against a war that
none of us understood. Stripped
of Ius heaY) \\<eight title, Ah

of the ring until the U.S.

So you can Ulldetiund my
reluctance about seeing the

fear that I'll be di:.appointcd.

Refreshing food

FROM 'THE AMERICAN INSTm.JTE
FOR CANCER RESEARCH
After weeks of holiday
desserts, a simple dish of
oranges suddenly seems like
heaven-or ill least the food
of heaven. Arnhro:-.ia is an
old-fashioned Southern fruit

from Greek und Roman
mythology and means "tOod
of the gods." But thi ~ dish
with the celestial name 1s
really :1 down-to-earth

a little coconut.
In the South. the dhh b

heavier fare. In tlle po!)t·holiday sea ·on, ambrosia can

the back of the ..,mokc bc10se.
Sht!'d only get the \cry frcl-he.~t
snov., because after it lay there
for a couple of huurs ll would be
dirty from soot falling from
neighborhood chimneys. Most
everybody in the camp hod a
fireplace and burned coal.
Anyway. Mary did all the work
and my liule brother and I
enJOyed the fruits of her labor.
Since we can't make ~now

recipe I saw. J guess it'!; preuy
much accepted that the air is so
polluted that we'd probably
glow in the dark if we ate snow
or drunk rain water.
But I'm speaking of a time in
the 1940s when v.e'd not give a
thought to drinking out of the
creek if we got thhsty from running the hills. or even eating a
snowbaJI.
But while polluted snow wasn't a problem for me m those
days, winter in general was.
Simply stated, winter hated me.
Just as soon as 11 arrived. I'd gel
srck with a cold or the "flu-like
symptoms" they're always rolkin~ ahout on TV these days.
(Not then, of course, because
TV hadn' t made its way to
Muddy Bmnch yet.)
I'd have a snotty nose, lowgrade fever. or nagging cough
until ~pring. and Mom would
spend the entire winter trying to
keep me in g~'lOd enough shape
to stay in "chool. Vickts salve
rubdowns were her speciality
anJ many 1s the night I'd fall
asleep w1tl1 a hot towel draped
over m) puny little chest with
Vick's salve fumes penetrating
my body and clearing out my
sinuses. Her cure must have
worked. though, for I can't
remember ever having been laid
up for any amount of time due to
colas and fever.

Getting started in
the stock market
If you'\1! been \\ ary of mvcsting in
securities consider this: over lhe long run,
stocks consistently outperform other
investment vehicles. Although there is no
foolproof formula lor achieving success
in the stock market. leammg lhe basics
will help ensure that you get started on t.he
right foot repons the Kentucky Soc1ety
ol CPAs lbc following should serve as a
framework for first-Lime investors.
Don't plunge in without
a plan
The f'lrst and foremost step ts to evaluate your investment needs. Before purchasing stocks. you need a clear understanding of your investment Lime frame
and your tolerance for risk. For example.
if you plan to buy a new home or finance
a child's college education wilhin lhe next
few years, investing in stocks may be
unwise When it comes to risk. don't
assume more than you can afford in the
hope of striking it rich.
Educate yourself
Once you are comfortable with your
inveStment philosophy and risk profile.
educate yourself about the stock market
Newspapers such as the Wall Street
JoW1lal. Barron ·s. and Investors Business
Daily are good places to stan. along with
monthly periodicals such as Forbes.
Fortune and Business Week. All are
excellent sources of financial ant! company data. Numerous financial web sites
also provide the latest investment information. while many financ1al-onented
portal~ offer informative articles. In addition, the Securiues and Exchange
Commission (SEC), the watchdog of the
industry. offen> comprehensive educational resources at sec.gov/oieal.btm.
Strive to diversify
One of the best ways to mmuruze
investment risk is to diversify lhe stocks
you hold. Don't make the mistake of risking everything on a singe company or one
business sector. Instead, val) your holdings by industry-such ~ finance. manufacturing. utilities. and pharmaceuticaland by size 01 what's ca.llcd "mark.et capatalization...
Large caps are compantes with capitaliz.ations of more than $5 billion. midcaps are those with capitalization of more
thAn 1.5 billion and small caps have capitalizauon of less than 1.5 billion. The
risk!\ and reward" of each of the!ie kinds
of companies vary. Fur example. large
caps may cost more. but there i<. typically
less risk of company failure. The potential
for growth with mid-caps anti small caps
is g~eater than for large companies. but
lhe smaller the company. typically the
higher lhe risk.
learn what to look for
You can look at a company's F.SP
(earmngs per !>hare) to sec if it i" making
money A company with an increasing
EPS quaner after quarter and year after
year ts typically healthy.
One of the many analytical tools
employed by stock researchers is a
stock's price-to-earning (PIE) ratio. The
ratio is arrived at by dividing last year's
EPS into IJte stock's current price. PIE is
a convenient way to compare stocks in
the same indu!>try or to evaluate one
stock's performance compared to the
market as a whole. Keep in mind that
there's no perfect PIE ratio. If the ratio is
high. it can mean that a compan) is overpriced. On t.hc other hand, a small. rapidly growmg company can have a high PIE
yet stiU be an attractive investment The
PIE ratio is usually part of a stock's quotation.
The value of mutual funds
Many individuals don't have the rime
to research mdividual stocb:s themselves
or the funds necessary to adequately
diversify their holdings. investing in
mutual funds can help overcome these
challenges. A mutual fund 1s s1mply a
group of stocks ancVor bonds or a combi ·
nation of the two chosen by a professional manager to meet specific invesunent
goals. Mosl funds diversify their holdings
by buying a wide variety of investments
in particular areas.
You can benefit from mutual funds in
several ways. FirsL you will have someone knowledgeable working for }OU.
Secondly. you can diversify wilh limited
capital. And thirdly, in man) instance~.
you can invest relatively small amountS in
these funds-sometimes as little as
$1.000.
Finally CPAs point out that it is important to keep in mind !.hat economic and
other forces can impact the return on any
stock investment you make-whet.hcr
you choose to purchru;e stocks individually or through a mutual fund.

Henry said the effon is
worth the time invested tf one
life is saved or one child is educated about th\! dangers of
firearms.
''There was a young boy at a
school in Western Kentucky
who found a gun out behind the
school," said Henry. "He took
the gun directly to his teacher
who turned it over to the principal. Someone had apparently
just tos~ed 11 there, but the point
is that lhe student had been educated enough about firearms
that he didn't mess with it ...
that's the kind of educated reaction we're working toward."

Three bills h;vc been prelilcd for next month's General Assembly
that would stnp pov.cr lromtht: Kc!ntucky Open Records Act -legislation passed in 1976 that requires gm cmmem agencies to make vanous records nvail,tblc to the public.
In nnd ofthern lve,, the law:. may ~cern like minor changes. necessary to protect the privlll:) of gne\ ing families or to reduce the burden of oveNorkcd office personnel. And that\ exactly how the e legISlators hope the pub he \ iews the changes.
Don't be tooled. Tlus bon mcremental finit step to closing acce ...s
to government. If these btlb nrc pa~sed mto law. where will the
restriction. end?
One of the b1lls. prclil~ by Sen. Dick Adams.. D-~fadisonvillc.
v. hose distrK1 mcludc.\ Muhlenherg and McLean countiec;. v.ould gt\'C
go,ernment ugenc1e.o; C\C!n da> s to respond to an open record'
request TI1e cunent dcudhnc is three days. Adams rold the Lexington
Herald-Leader that he proposed the law because many offices complain of the worl.:loud it imposes 10 compile the requested records.
If rccordli arc filed in un orderly fashion- or better yet computerized
three days sl!cms more than enough time to pull a file and
make copies.
It's ~• thinly vcill·d stalllacti~- make it more difficult for people
to obtain record" and mayiX' they'll quit asking for them.
The other two bills- including one tiled by Rep. Brent Yont:;, D·
Greenville- pertain to Ihe rclea~c of <~Utopsy records. They make it a
crime for C<mmers
mc<hcal examiners to make autopsy records
public. The tmpctu behind the bills stem' from controvers) created
after the death of NASCAR legend Dale Enmhardt.
We along \\JUI mo t other nev.spapers. understand the sensithity
of autop y record! In reporung on deaths, the goal j, never to add
more pam ton gne mg fanul). but mther to ansv.er the public'~ questJoru.. addre thetr concern , over whm are almost al\\8Y" tragic circum... tanlc . Concerns over publishing grisl~ photos are legitimate. but
restrtcting all autops) records goes too far.
Cons1dcr last )~r·s shooting death of Tyrone Clayton Jr. The initial
statement ~:>~ue.d by Owensboro pollee was t11at Clayton had been shot
of.lP ume It was only after the medical examiner looked at the body
that ll bcc:unc clear Clayton had been shot twice. In a ca..:;e whcr~
many were lu<>ktng lor answer~. sh0uld the coroner have been puntsheu for makmg that tnformation public? Of course not.
The Open Record' Act is otten p011ruyed as a tool for the media,
when in fact il is u right given to every citizen of Kentucky. and locully, private citizens have availed themselves of the open records acts.
Citizens shoulun'l let government take away these nghts so that it can

you've only got t\\O weeks:'
There are a number a c;mall growing operations in the state. in addition to Bourbeau. that
grow poinsettias in large quantities for the
wholesale market. ln addition, a I.oui~ville
grower produces about three quarter!'. of a million of the rooted cuttings for other growers as
well as finishing some 80,000.
For more information on growing poinsettias
or caring for them in your home, contuct the
local county Extension office.
s the traditional carol goes, 'There's
no place like home for the holidays."
And, there's nothing more satisfying
than baking homemade holiday desserts that
elicit "oohs" and "aahs" from family and
friends.
Amid the bustle and bustle of the season,
however, it can be difficult to frnd enough
time to bake batches of brownies, cascndes of
cookies and petfect pies. That's why these six
recipes are perfect for today's holiday baker.
Each takes less than 30 minutes to prepare, but
the results are so rich and mdulgent. people
will think you spent hours in the kitchen.
So Ibis holiday season. treat your famil) and
fnends to home-baked goodies from scratchwithout the hassle! For additional recipes like
these. Be sure to \isit

Quitline available for pregnant wome11 who smoke
FRANKFORT A national
toll-free qu1thne that offers help
to pregnant ''omen who want to
quit smokmg ts now available.
Great Start 1:; the first na!ional quitline designed h.' reduce
smoking during pregnancy. The
quithnc is sponsored by the
American Legacy Foundation
and managed through the
American Cancer Society.
The loll-free number is 1866-66-STAR't
''I would encourage any
pregnant womun who smokes
to call this number and seck
help," s.lid First Lady Judi
Panon. ''This quitline is a valu-
able servtce for women and will
make a great addition to the
efforts already underway in
Kentucky."
According to statistics gath·
ered from new mothers in
Kentucky, 23.6 percent of
women who gave birth during
the year 2000 reported they
used tobacco during pregnancy.
Smoking during pregnancy can
increase the risk for many
health problems for mothers
and babies, including a low
birthweight baby, respiratory
proble ms, colds and coughs, car
infec tions, S udden Infant Death
Syndrome and miscarriage. The
U.S. Surgeon Genernl h~•
reported that eliminating ~mak
ing during pregn~mcy could prevent I0 per~..-ent of all infunt
death~ and 12 percent of all
deaths due to pennata! conditiom.
The quulinl! \\ill compliment ~cw.ral other program~
underway in Kentucky to
cncournge pregnant "omen to
quit smoking.
The Dtpartmcnt for Public
Health's
Tobacco
Usc
Cessation
Prevention and
Program, funded \\ ith tobacco
settlement money, oversees
efforts to help pregnant women
quit :.mokmg. Among them is a
program called "Make Yours a
Fre"h St!lrt Family," a counseling program for pregnant
women and new mother~
offered through some local
health departments.
A new "Healthy Babies"
campaign that begins in January
will encour.tge young women
not to smoke during pregnancy.
And Gov. Paul Patton's Eurly
Childhood Initiative KIDS
NOW, also funded with tobacco
settlement money, includes a
home visitation program for
new parents that encourages
ane\\ parents to quit smoking.

points, ll rebounds and five
blocked shot.s are an investment,
a confidence~maker for conference play and the NCAA
Tournament
Footnote: The ongoing buzz
that Duke 'gets the critical culls'
•s reminiscent of another team in
anomer time being tattooed as
receiving 'favorite' treatment.
Coaches and fans at Tennessee,
Notre Dame, Michigan State to
mention a few complained lhat
Kentucky got away with karate
defense. But nobody could beat
the Wildcats who marched to the
NCAA title in 1978.
Observations...
• Too bad UK could not
apply dagger~to-lhe~heart when
Duke coach Mike K.rzyzew:;ki
benched rus starters with Lhe
Devils trailing 50-40.
• UK's Cliff Hawkins was
mostly brilliant despite taktng
one too many shots and making
one too few passes in ovenime.
Hawkins somehow forgot that an
All~ American teammate (Prince)
ought to touch the ball a tim~ or
two at the end of close games.
Rasbaad Carruth's 7~for~l0
shooting and 17 points was Tony
Delk-lil<e. But rus defense was
rookie-like.
Kentuclcy~Duke shouJd play
every year: At least once.
Kentucky-Duke
Th~ Wildcats won, didn't
they'? Three point gHme in overtime with defending national
champion 1n December ili a victory isn't 1t'!
La'>t week's clash in the
Meadowlands wa... as delic1ous
us it get' in regular season and
2.5 million watched il on teleVlsion.
Don't waste energy on weak
otlkiating (both ways). Whining
about referees favoring the
defending champion Dookies
could have been muted easily
enough.
If only UK bad kept the same
poise and ~rfom1ance maintain
ing its I 0-poinl lead as it did
building it, then referees would
have been irrelevant.
Tubby Smith master~strokes
were substitution pattern, and
inscning Jule:; Camara as a
Joe B. Hall's gamble
Sports llluslr.lted lauded
retired coach Dean Smith when
Duk<''s Mike Knyzewski pulled
his starters against Kentucky
after they bumbled thetr way to a
40-50 deficit
SI credited the motivational
su·atagem to Smith. [n fact,
Kentucky's Joe B. Hall took a
bigger gamble with a wholesale
lineup change in an NCAA tournament tirst round game against
Florida State m Knoxville in
L978. Hall then started three
subs an lhc second half and his
gamble brought a comeback win
and UK marched on ro another
NCAA title.

Real NBA for

Those in favor of or still
straddling Lhe fence on the 1ssue
of an NBA franchise in
Louisville, should consider L.
Jon Wertheim ·s piece in Dec. 2431 issue of Sports Dlustrated.
Writing about lhe PorUand
Trail Blazers, a regional franchise much as Louisville would
be. Wortheim offers a stark look
at where all NBA franchises may
soon find themselves. Titled
Losing Their Gnp, he writes:
"Bad management, bad actors
and bad basketball have alienated fans i.n many NBA cities, but
Portland offers a compelling
case study."
Summing up, Trail Blazer
guard Bonzi WeUs: "We're not
really going to worry about what
the hell the fans think about us.
They really don't matter to us.
They can boo us every day,
but they ,re still going to ask for
our autographs if they see us on
the street. that's why lhcy're fans
and we're NBA players."

positions. She's a solid offensive and defensive player, and
she's extremely quick for a
player of her size. Pam is a

Garrett earned First~ Team

said Cameron Mills. The former Wildcat ~tar brings a
umqu~ perspective to this
topic. since he grew up the son
of .1n ex-Wildcat (Terry Mills)
and since he played on national
title team~ 'for both Pitino and
current UK head man Tubby
Smith,
·• 1 actually don· t remember
the '83 game. The first game I

"To beat them at all is going
lobe great. But if we only beat
them by 10, there are going to
be people saying 'what's
wrong', 'how could we only
beat them by to•. We're going
to have to beat them by 40,"
said Mills.
For some members ot the
UK faithful, Pitino taklng the
JOb at U·of-L was akin to a ttuitorous act. Others. like Mills
und many other former Pitinoeru player~ from UK. it was no
problem.
"1 don't think it's a bad thing
at all. It's done nothing but
good for (the state t10
Kentucky basketball as a
whole. It brings an excitement

It's been there but it hasn't
been there at this feverish pitch

noted.
"I don't have a problem with
it. I've !>iald before tbat I hope

in the world and Louis' illc

that's Impossible. I don't wont
to cheer for Louisville because
I'm a Kentucky fan (but I like

Mills knows the Wildcats
well. and he recently had a
chance to watch Pitino's team
practice.
"I've seen practice and they
didn't look very good. 1 don't
think they're a very good team
right now. but they play bard,"
he said, "and when you play
hard and you play hts system,
you can beat some good
teams."
And Mills believes Pitino is
back in his naturaJ element ns a
coach of college players.
"Over the five year.; thut he

It \\as a joy to see him teach
these guys. In the NBA, I don't
think he felt like he could
teach." Mills said.
Having played for both
Pitino and Smith, Mills brings
a unique perspective 10 this
mntch~rp.
He say~ it''> not a
maHer of one coach being better-they're just different,
albeit slightly.
"I think coach Pitino i> a

anybody. I think Tubb)' has an

atmosphere and what it means
to be pan of a team and I thin!<
Tubhy can pull together certain
aspects of ego and talent. kind
of like what Phil Jackson has
done with ihe Lakers. He can
take those "l's" and make a
team beuer than anybody can:·
said Mill:..
"( think there h a difference
in the type of game they pluy.
Couch Pitino's is more press
and up a11d down 1 think the
misconception is that Tubby\
idea of defense is <liffercrll.
I think Y.e saw in the North
Carolina game that if these
guys will go out and play
defcn-.c, \H~ don't need to
press. You can get just a~ many
steals from a halfcourl dcfen!>e
as you can a fullcourt defense,"
he continued. "I think the misconception is that Tubby's
brand of basketball isn't as
much fun as coach P's brand.
That isn't true at all. And we
saw that in the North Carolina
game."

"We sat in lhe ocean so my
baby c.ould hear the waves," said
Susie.
It was n bnef break. a praycrfiUed week; seendft&tr away'ftom
the ordeal. Then the family came
back home to .Kentucky
Susie Fannin caUcd her SJ!Ier,
Mary McCloud, to tell her' they
were back. Mary McCloud could
barely bring herself to tell her sister about the. discovery she had
made that week.
Mary had gone 10 Pikeville
Methodist Hospttal and while m
the consuiiJition room. she saw the
April edition of F3lllily Circle
magazine on a table. It was the
only magazine in the rnom
She liked the cake on the cover
of the 1Tla88Ztne and began fan·
ning through it And. there, staring
her in the face. wa<: an article on
Dr. Mtchael Hamson at the
Univemty of California - San
Francisco (UCSF) Hospttal plO·
neering a spe~,al teChnique and
operatJon. The article detailed the
orrleal of a fanuly from Charlotre,
N C. whose baby had aJmost the
identical condition Seth had. and
Dr. Harrison was ahle to save that
child's life.
But, the operation had to be
perfonned dunng the 26th week
of pregnancy. It was Friday, and
Susie Fannin could barely contain
herself. Her 26th week would
begin that Sunday.
She ran out of the house. her
husband Kcny was mowmg the
lawn. He thought tf somcthmg
were wrong. she would have scud
so. " IIHlW l1er JUst Oy out the door
and speed off m the car."
SULie Fannin rushed to a store.
bought the magazine, sped horne
and read the article. Kerry read the
article and everything "went into
high gear."
''What do you think this
mean~·r Susie asked through her
leafS.
"I think It me.ans we are supposed to go." replied Kerry.
The Fannins caUed Dr.
O'Brien an Lexington. read him
the article. After checking on it,
Or. O'Brien was astounded and
told the Fannins, 'Ths (UCSF
Hospital) ts the place to go."
Kerry Fannin called UCSF
Hospital and was told, "I don't
think we've ever put one of those
(operations) together this quickly,
but we'll get back to you." and
they hung up.
lllen Kerry called the family's
HMO- Bluegrass Family Health
(BFH) - to give them all the
infonnation and find om if the
operation would be covered.
11lc infonnation made its way
quiddy to Chief Medical Officer,
Dr. Jaudon Berhman. "'ho verified
lha1 the new technique was the
only one of its kind in the nation at
the time, and approval was "expedited." Another technique in
Philadelphia had a "htgher degree
of ri~k." Dr. Behnnan became
even more personally involved
Ulroughout the Fann.ins' care.
The Bluegrass Family Health
case manager for most of the
Fannins' ordeal was Stephanie
Rambicure, a 25-year pediatric
nurse working in Lexington, who
would become "pan of the fami·
ly," said both Susie and Kerry
Fannin.
''She wa-; great. Absolutely
great! We· d call Stephanie. tell her
what we needed and she· d say.
'Go!"' emphasized Su.~;ie Fannin.
"When you've got a muacle
chtld, you expedite it," reacted
Stephanie.
"'There were 16 different 'coinddcnces' thai had to occur that
weekend," said Kerry Fannin.
"Startmg with finding the maganne article. to the phone call from
UCSF Hospital saying that ~me
how the schedules of all the doctors who were needed for this
operation just fell into place."

DEAR DIANE: I am 17-years-old, and I
am totally in Jove with my girlfriend,
"Chrissy.··
After school (I'm a senior) I work construction for my Uncle Jim. l'vc been doing this for
two years. l have saved-up a lot of money ~o I
can go to college next year to be an architector maybe an engineer. I like building thing!>,
Last week, I started researching the different
universities I'd like to atlend ~o that I can get
my applications out on time. When Chrissy saw
me doing this, she freaked out.
Chrissy is a junior and won't graduate next
year with me. She said I should take the money
I've saved for college and buy us a house so we
can get married and live in it together.
She said I make enough money working
construction with my uacle to support the two
of us. so what's the use of wasting my money
on a piece of paper from some college.
Diane, I've been wanting to go to college for
as long as I can remember. But, I love Chrissy
with all my heart, and r m afratd that 1f I go off
to college wtthout ber, I' II lose Chrissy forever.

DEAR COMM11TED: Go on with your
plans to attend college. The reason Chrissy is
telling you to stick around is because she's
afraid that if you go away. you'll find someone
else- and she's probably right.
However, if the two of you are truly in love
and conunitted to each other, a few months
apart shouldn't destroy your relationship. After
she graduates. she can always move to whatever state you're living in.
Don't give up your dreams of college for
this girl. If you do, someday you w11l resent her
for it and your relationship will be over anyway
-and you'll be stuck without a college degree
to boot. Press on. And good luck.

DEAR OR. DONOHUE: I am confused about
shellfish -shrimp. mussels, etc. What is their
effect on cholesterol? Do they have any negative effect on arteries'! - H.C
ANSWER: A logical conclusion from looking at the cholesterol content of shelllish would
be that they are
bad for arteries
since they do carry a hefty amount
of cholesterol.
Shrimp
and
crayfish
have
twice the cholesterol content of
meat.
by Paul G. Dooota.le. M.D.
Crabs, scallops.
mussels.
clams and lobster have less cholesterol than
meat, but their cholesterol content is not u puny
amounL
The reason why shellfish, including shrimp,
don't raise blood cholesterol lies in the1r 'ery
low content of saturated fat. Thi" is an important point in choosmg a diet that keeps choles·
terol in the nonnal range. Saturated fat in Foods
raises blood cholesterol more than food with a
high cholesterol count does. Saturated fats prod
the liver mto all-out production of cholesterol.
Saturated fats are the fats in and around meat. in
dairy products and in shortenings that are solid at

care about their members.
Second, check the qualifications of lhe staff. You want
to be sure that the people who

Ask to talk directly to lhem

know tf you plan to use a personal trniner. what your health
history is and what your goals
arc for training. The more

'This is a series that shows

"But what it also shows 1s that
there are people who will not
accept these deplorable situations. They will work to prove
that abuses can be dealt with
effectively and the system can
be made to be accountable:·
Rosenberg agrees that
some viewers might see
Masterson as overly rough on
Balcer's character. Nick
Fallin.
He explains. "You have to
understand that Nick originally came into his ofllce as part
of a community-service deal
to avoid disbannent for drug

sure be could trosl Nick to do
the job right and not jU~>l coast

only now that he sees Lhat
Nick h~ become genuinely

Repair Kit
by SAMANTHA MAZZOTTA
l'd like to get a complete set of tools for my home.
Q
What makes up a basic tool set? - Jamie B..
valdosta, Ga.
Most horne-improvement and hardware stores
sell 'Sla!1er'' sets for first-time tool buym
These mclude many of the basic 1tcmo; you'll
need for mmor home repa1rs, such as plier... standard
and Phillips-head screwdrh ers, and a...c;oncd S17.CS and
~of wrenches. However. you Wtll need a lew more
things to complete your borne repair kit.:
• A curved claw tiamrner and nail'l. Make sure the
hammer 1s at least 12 ounces in weight and comfortable
to hold Buy a variety of nails in different sizes and
types; most srores offer nail set'>
• AdJU~Ie wreneh. A 10-inch adjustable wrench
(or a plwnber's wrench) is a versatile tool around the
house. Make sure the worm gear operares SJllOO(h)y
and doesn't wobble.
• Rotary power drill. More impor1anl tban a power
screwdriver and probably the most convenient decoolting accessory you will ever have. Make sure the drill
has variable !.-peeds. a reverse switch and can hold drill
bits up to 318ths inch.
••
• Steel Utpe rnca•;urc. The model should have a
lock button to hold the extended tape m place; purchase
one \\ith at lea.'t 25 feet of tape. A !-foot ruler and n
yardstick also make g(xxl companions.
• 24-ux:h carpenler's level. It should have two
bubble!.: one for mca'>UTJng horizontal Je-.el. and the
other for marking vertical plumb.
• Handsaw. Buy a saw marked "genera) ~..
to handle any variety of wood. Look for a steel blade,
about 26 inches long, with a wooden handle.
• Hacksaw. This thin saw cuts metal; the blades are
replaceable and come in several grades for cuumg different strength.'i of metal.
• Pocketknife and utility knife. The pocketknife
comes m hand) for all sons of tasks: the utility kntfe
has a reuaL"'able (and replaceable) blade.
• Putty knife Used to apply and wcrk plaster.
spackle, or y~ putty. You should have twO SJzes. a
l-inch blade and a \\Ide-blade wall scraper.
• Sandpaper, steel wool, metal file and Wtre brush.
These come in handy for a variety of cleaning and
sharpening tasks.
• Duct tape, eJectricaJ tape (yes. they're different)
and three typeS of glue: epoxy. white (PVA) and wood
glue.
• Spackling compound and wood pdlY. These
make filling holes and gaps in waDs ai wood~·
Finally, having both a srepladder and an extemam
ladder will allow you 10 radde hard-fo.reach repairs.
both indoors and out.

Another key difference
Stumbo was quick to poult ou1 m
his ne'' proposal was the absence

has contributed to a SCI plan for

Kentucky has gamed support
from state, local and city offi ..
cials. Stumbo says. as well as
support from the Kentucky
Association of Countil!s and the

"We·\ e been working on this

Stumbo explained that the

the impact fee would go back to
the counties and cit.Jes. which
will be charged with the responsibility of putting the ll.mding to
use.
Aoyd County':- ~;hare would
be $380.000 dollars annually and
could be used in any number of
ways, according to Stumbo.
''They arc required to do roadside cleanups at least three times
a year, and that's tor every cit)

"Because the ctties get money 10

Unavoidable
cuts
Faced with u revenue shortfall, the easiest place
for Gov. Paul Patton to cut spending may have been
in education.
More than half of the state's budget is allocated to
education of one kind or another.
Previous governors have shown no reluctance to
sap education funding when revenues were tightly
squeezed.
But through four rounds of cuts over two years,
Patton has painstakingly avoided cuts to education.
This week it was education's tum. Continuing
sour economic times and the growing budget shortfall made it unavoidable.
Still. Patton's cuts apply only to higher education,
\\ hich ha enjoyed large budget increases in recent
yeat; and can absorb cuts more readily since it has
tuition and other funding sources on which it can
count.
Funding for public education for kindergarten
through 12th grade was spared though that may be
where budget trimming will have to go if more is
required.
The $18.4 million in cuts to the state's higher educntion system average to abour a I .8 percent cutback. For any single university, the largest cuts total
2 percent - the same as all other parts of state government took in the fourth round of cuts in October.
Patton has carefully crafted a reduction in state
spending. seeking foremo t to protect the gains
Kentucky has made in education.
He been right to do so and he's done a good job
of it.
John Stanton. chairman of Kentucky Advocates
for Bjgher Education, expressed it well: "In the long
tun. investing in education, eYen in times of a tight
budget, is the bc:;t way to improve the commonwealth's economy and our quality of life.''
In short, education is economic development. And
to cut deeply into education, is to cut deeply into the
future.

58th District basketball games
always seem to hold little surprises
of -.orts. Take lasL year's first round
game in the 58th District girls tourney when South Floyd, a No. 4 seed.
knocked off No. I Betsy Layne. That
wasn' t supposed to happen. The
Lady Raiders rode the fi rst round tri-
umph all the way to a district title.
Tuesday night, the return bout
between the two 58th District heavyweights was set. Both teams played
even with I 0 points aptece in the first
quarter before the visiting Lady
Raiders went into the half with a onepoint advantage. The Lady Raiders
led by three at the end of three quarters before the host Ladycats got
their composure and pulled off a two-
point victory, thus winning the longawaited rematch.
Betsy Layne shot 69 percent from
the free-throw line. The Ladycats
were I 8-for-26 in the fourth quarter,
outscoring South Floyd 22-17.
Now, Betsy Layne heads to

Prestonsburg stuns Allen Central
by JAMIE HOWELL
SPORTS WRITER
'You've come a long ay
baby,' that's song the fans of the
Prestonsburg Blackcats are
singing so far this year. The
Blackcats are coming off a dismal season and have really
turned the comer already in this
young season as was evident in
the Blackcats 76-67 win on
Tuesday over the Allen Central
Runnin' Rebels. The Rebels
were coming off a big win over
the defending l5th Region
champs, the South Floyd
Raiders. and seemed to be in the
drivers seat in the 58th District.
Prestonsburg was on a threegame winning streak of their
own. but on a night when Allen
Central's Shawn Newsome was
expected to steal the show. it
was the Blac:kcats who took the
spotlight. Prestonsburg has fal len on hard times in the past few
years in its basketball program.
but this could be the breakthrough for the Blackcats.
The Runnin' Rebs came into
the game boasting one of the
state's top players in the talented Shawn Newsome, and

The groundv; ork for the

fonncd in 1980 through !.he
efturts of coache like Stan
St~Jdtl of Dayton. Father Ed
Heale ot Covmgton Latin. Bill
Frey of CO\ ington Holy Cros~
and others. 'The mccption of a
small chool hasketball tournament began in January of 1980.
The first Class ·A' Tournament
was held at Holy Cross H1gh
School in Latonia wilh eight
teams. In 1981 it moved to
Bellevue with Len teams, all
from Northern Kentucky.
The 1982 to 1989 Classic
went statewide by inviting six
Cia'>-; A schools from around the
state to compete v. ilh lhe ten
northern KentucJq schools. 1n
1990 lhe All ·A' Classtc experienced n dream come true. A

in 1991 the All ·A' Classic
expanded to include !.he field of

included four girls sectional

statcv. id~.; linals. 1n 1992, the
statcwtde tournament again
expanded to included eight gu-ls
teams and in 1993 included lhe

on
Athletics
Certification announced decisions recently concerning the
certification stAtus of two
DivtSJon I member institutions
as part of the Association's second cycle of athletics certification.
Northern Illinois University
and Idaho Stnte University were
certified.
A designation of certified
means that an institution operates its athletics program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the
Division I membership.
The second round of athletics
certification is being completed
on a I 0-year cycle rather than
the five-year cycle used during
the initial certification process.
All 321 active Division l members panicipate in the certification process.
The certification program's
purpose is to help ensure integrity in the institution's athleucs
operations and to assist athletic:.

role player::. who aren't necessarily th~ stars of their team but
certainly make 11 better.
And they're both sons of
coaches.
Maybe it's just me, but
Ounl~avy could have easily
been the youngest of
Allen Feldhaus. clan.
• Oh. and speaking of ''The
Game". there is one thing that
IS usually not mentioned when
1t's discussed; Not only did
Coach "Kriz- kru-ski" (I loved
those commercials) need that
miracle of a shot from the evil
Laeuner. he needed a perfect
mght from him. Unfortunately,
with 10-of-10 from the floor
(including a three-pointer) and
I 0-of-10 from the line. he got
it.
• It will be interestrng to
see how Kentucky does in the
polls next week after pushmg
No. I ro overtime.
Most of!en. when a team
loses it finds itself sliding down
the polls when the) are next
released. But says here
Kentucky proved that there
probably aren't six (in the AP
poll) or seven (in the writer's
ratings) better teams in the
country right now.
Still, I wouldn't be surprised
to see the Cats land around l 012 m each poll when they're
released next week. Sad but
true.
• Let's consider this line
from Tuesday's box score for a
moment: 2-of-6 from the floor
(including a miss on his only
three-point try), 4-of-4 from
the line. four rebounds, two
assists. two turnovers, four
fouh.
ln 34 minutes of play
Tuesday night, that was what
Ketth Bogans was able to
muster: eight points.
That said. everyone who
thinks he's ready for the NBA
please raise your hand.
Anybody? OK.
Bogans isn't any more ready
now than he was last spring
when he and Prince declared
themselves eligible for the
draft. He is a streaky shooter
who looks terrific when he's on
and highly mediocre when he's
not, which has been the case
often this season and most definitely was the call on Tuesday.
How many player:. who arl!
''ready" for the NBA get
replaced by freshmen 111 the
closing minutes or a gnmc
against No. I?
Not many.
Bogans needs to get comfortable in Wildcat Lodge. Sa) s
here he need" to stay there
another year and n hall

this was a fluke. As for the rest

When the Wheelwright Cit) Council
convened Monday evening to discus' the
dismissal of utility cornmis~ioners Arlene
Hall and Marsha John~on. few would have
thought t11e special-called meeting would
lead to a host of accusations against that
city's government.
Wheelwright has, of late. struggkd to

remain on t11e utility commission along
with Johnson. but the thwancd decision to
pull her from the commissiOn did not keep
Hall from putung the Wheelwright council
on trial as a rebuttal lor the auempted
action taken againloot her.
Hall will remain on the commission as
a result of a disagreement which occun·ed

MAGISTRATE-Dist. 2
When I was Magistrate, the David/Middle Creek precinct was
added to District 2. They were in my district for one term.
During this term, 1 blacktopP-ed 16 roads that had been dirt,
and put city water up a lot of these same roads-not counting
cutting the bushes and ~learing the snow. A lot of the people
thought they would be left out at first, but in four years they
knew they wen~ part of my district. The Rough and Tough
precinct has been added to District 2, now. If you elect me
your Magistrate, 1promise-you will not be left out. 1stand
.YR for ALL of my District-no matter where you live.

Today•s Joke: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Priorities,
please
As if it were really needed, Mond,\) C\cning-into-night'~ school
board meeting served as a re~ounding exclamation point to criticisms levied against its members by Education Commissioner
Gene WJihuit and State Manager Zelia Wells.
In light of a rcpon b) Wclh and two lcuers from Wilhoit outlining seriou. ~tn1ctural and procedumJ deficiencies. as well as
incomplete task and outright blunder~. one \\Ould think: board
members would walk into Monda) 's meeting ready to roll up their
sleeves and get ro work dealing with the cntici'm constructively.
What real!) happeneti? One board member took pains to
explain that hi~ remark:. had been im1ccurately portrayed in an
Associated Press story, while another worried openly that news
accounts uf the criticism might caust• people to make fun of the
board.
In !act, board members chose to concentrate entirely on ncwl-1
nccoums of the criticism. rather than the critic1sm itself.
And even that token response came only after the first hour nf
the meeting wa spent r_ecognh~ing the Prestonsburg Blackeat.s
football team and watching a video of compiled television sports
coverage of their march to the st,trc finals. Then. the meeting wa~
stopped so that the board could pose for pictures with the team.
Meanwhile. five principals waited patiently to give reports
about their schools' showing!' on state tcsl\- but they wen: only
able to after the board extended its self-imposed three-hour meeting time limit by 90 minute~. An ar~hitcct at the meeting lu brief
board memhcrs on the l>tatU~ of di))tnct projects finally gtne up
and left after v. aitin~ three-and-a-half hours for the board to get
around to tum.
Finally, a rcprcsentath c of the Kentucky School Boards
Association who ha~ been working with board member~ to help
them find ways to function better was given the final five mtnutes
of the mectmg. While we suspect h!! could have made good usc of
more time, he was probably relieved to get to speak at all, since he
had been llying for several meetings wiU10ut success.
All in all, we don't think Munday's meeting was very beneficial
Jll helping the board rebuild ib image In fact if we v.ere to point
to the board's number-one image problem, it would be thnt mem·
bers appear to be more concerned \\ ith image than with problems,
nd thm poull was underlined Mondn) mght.
School bourd meetings would not need to run four or five hours
if board members spent less time postunng for 'the camera unc.l
conducting public relations work. rather than dealing with real
issues - such as thoc;e rabed by Wilhoit and Wells.
For the board to react to news stories about those issues. rather
than dealing v. ith the issues themselves. proves that members
missed lhc point entirely.

Following is an excerpt from an anide wriuen by Gretchen Pas~tino in
1996, published in the Discipleship
Journal:
"When our oldest daughte.r was not
quite 3. ~e told her about a special
Christian who lived a long time ago. His
name was Nicholas, und v.e call him St.
Nicholas. because saint mean~ ;;omeonc
who belongs to God, just like v.e do. In
St. Nicholas' town there \\ere many poor
children. They didn't ha\c enough food.
clothes. or toys. St. :"\1cholas used his
mone> to bu) food. clothe-., ~nd toys for
the poor children. He didn't want them
to be embarrassed b) h1-. g11ts. '>0 he
gave secretly.
"St Nicholas also told everyone
about Jesus and hm\ much God loved
them. Man) people bc~ame Chrisuans
because of what St. :\icholac; ~aid Then
some mean people who hated Jeo;us put
St. l'icholas tn jatl to keep h1m from
telling people about Je~us nnd from
helping people. St • 'ichola-. kept on
telling people about Je,us until the mean
people had him ~illcd.
"Because of hov. much St. Nicholas
loved Jesus. and because of the many
gifts he gave 1he poor children of hi!>
tov. n, we still rcmemb~·r St. Ntcholas at
Christmas time. All of the gifts he ga,e.
and all of the Chri,tma.' prc~cnt-. we
give. are to remmd u' llf the \ ft)' best
gift an) one eH·r ga,•e: when God the
Father ga'c His onl) Son, Jesu ... Chnst.
to us for our salvation.
''Toda) there are mnny pe~,ple who

switch from the combined. open
lines of the sewer and storm sy~

systems would do better than
reduce the downto\\ n odor, it
would elimmate the problem.
"The biggest thing is to separate the two lines, becam.e that's
where od01 is coming from,"
Campbell said. "Since the two
lines are combined right now,

In Loving
Memory
I hear the many Cllnstmas songs that people hold so dear. But the
sollnds of mLJSic canY compare with /he Chnshnas choir up here. I
have no words to tell yol{. the ;oy lhetr vo1ces bring. For it is beyond
description to hear the angles sing
I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your neart.
But I am not so far awy. we really aren'laparl So be happy lor me,
dear ones. you know I hold you dear. And bs glad I'm spending
CMstmas, Wl~h JesLJS Christ this year:
I sendyou e8ch a special gilt. from my lleaven/y home above. I
sendyou each a memory oi my undying love. Aher all "LOVE" IS the
gih, more precious /han pure gold. It was alwys important m /he
stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do. For I can 'l
count the blessing or the love he has for you. So have a Merry
Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember, I'm spending
CMstmas with Jesus CMst this year.

Infant mortality rate drops to all-time low
FRANKFORT- Kentucky's
infant mortality rate - a common measuring stick for child
health - has reuched an all time
low.
The rate for 1999 was 7.I
deaths per 1.000 births and the
provisional rate for the year 2000
is 6.9 deaths per I ,000 births.
These rates are pan of a trend
that reflects a 25 percent
decrease in infanr mortality in
Kentucky since 1991.
''These figures reflect bettl!r
heaJth carl! for babies and their
mothers.'' said Gov. Paul Patton.

Public health officials in
Kentucky attribute t.he decrease

McDowell team in grade school
basketball. Allen fell behind
early in the game and trailed 1613 at the half. McDowell was led
in scoring by Kyle Howell with
12 of his team's 24 points. The
Eagles found themselves down

play. 22-21. and really t\lrncd up
the pressure in the founb quaner.
Raymond Woods and Josh

Annual Middle Creek give away continues

MIDDLE CREEK - Por
several years, the Middle Creek

joined hands with community

drafty place less cold.
The Mollettes were used to
hard work. as Joe had worked in
Ohto io his prime doing housing
construction, while Irene spent
her younger years caring for six
children and a home. Hauling
water for every meal, bath and
otherwise became a way of life.
But as the couple grc\o\: older,
things changed. Hauling water
wasn't as easy. Winters somehow seemed colder. And with
nagging health problems ~uch as
high blood pressure and asthma,
everyday living was getting
tough.
Easing that burden became a
great source of joy for Delinda,
who walked the Mollettes stcpby-~tep through the various
ohstacles of home ownership.
'·[Housing does) not place
people in homes who cannot
afford it, but the Mollettes were
good at paying off their bills and
just needed a little help.'' she
says. "Sometimes people qualify
for such things, but they really
just don't know where to begin
because they· re so overwhelmed ,.
And the overwhelmed fee ling
has lingered, but for a different
reason. Now the source of awe is
not cumbersome paperwork, but
the everyday luxuries, like lhe
ceiling fan. that t11c Mollettes
never had.

"W1tl1out them, how could we

thousands of needy
families during the holiday Sc!ason.
Hackworth, former employee
wtth the Cabinet for Families
and Children. says there is a desperate need in families throughout the communit). especially
dunng the holldays. Because of
thts reason. community and fire
department volunteers stay quite
busy this time of year.
"We do this annually to try to
help needy people in the community.'' said Hackworth. "We
want to make sure they get all
the clothes. toys. and so forth.
that they need. r ve speot my
whole life helping people. My
fonner job made me realize the
need for all these things. and
that's how all this got started in
the first place. We're lucky
enough to have plenty of volun-
teers who want to help."
As a special treat to area children, Hackworth says that Santa
Claus will visit the tire department on Fnda} . November 21 to
distribute a bag full of goodiec;.

not be allowed to appeal their cases to civilian co.urts. lt
appears that the organizations that sponsored the poll
expected it to i ndicatc \\ tdcspread opposition to the tribunals. especially since the polltakers explicitly decided not
to sugar-coat their dcscriptioti of the tribunals. The results
could then have been waved reprovingly in front of the
Bush administration and cited as evidence of its supposed
radicalism in restricting civil hbcrues. Instead. Bush can
point to the poll as <' public 'alidation of h1s policy.
A poll by "The Washington Post'' and ABC News yielded
similar results. In that sun ey. 59 percent of respondents
voiced support for rnilitar) tribunals.
If such polls arc an accurate refiecuon of opinion. the
Sept. I J attacks have convmced a su.able majority of
Americans that the terrorist threat to this nation is so dire
that it warrants the same legal process used to try Nazi
saboteurs during World War ll. (And the executive order for
the tnhunnls docs restrict them to cases involving alleged
terrorists or their accomplices.)
John Dean, the Nixon-era White House legal counsel,
poiuted out in a recent legal commentary that "in all past
Amen~..:ru1 wars. our law enforcement officers have turned
over enemy belligcrenL!'lto militm·y authorities."
It would be ludicrous if Osama bin Laden and his cohof'ts
went free because the U.S. military fell shore of the Miranda
threshold or tripped up in a meeting squeaky-clean requirements for rules of evidence. Indeed, to insist on such meticulous legal requirements would hamstring the U.S. military
and intelligence agencies from taking warranted action
against thnse would assault this country.
Tbe point isn't that the United States should strike at peo~
pie and organizations prec:ipitoul'ly. without clear j ustification. But neither should U.S. forces handcuff themselves
n~:edlcssly thrnugh un msrstcnce on unreasonable legal
restrictions.
The new polls offer additional reason for the world to
appreciate Americans' resolve to defend their country ar this
time of crisis. Neither hm·orist violence nor excessive legalistic argumenl-; will derail the Unired States from striking
back at tho~c who directly threaten our secmity.

The missile shield - a bad joke
by DONALD KAUL
Rosemary Brown.
a Londoner moder-
ately fam<ms for hcing the confidant of
the extravagantly famous, died last
month al the ag~ of 85. Her trove of
friends, as reponed by the New York
T1mes on its obituar) page. consisted of
people like Beethoven. Bach, Liszt.
Chopin and Schuhert - mustcians aU-
an atomic weapon onto a missile and
shooling it al us.
Why would a counrry do that'' We
could ea.o;ily tell where the attack was
coming from and blow it off the face of
the earth in 15 miuutes.
1 see. ll would do it because the leader
of this hypotheticul country went crazy
Let m~ get this straight. We're going
to ~pend tens of bill ions- OK. hundreds
but later in her career her circle widened
to include Shakespeare. Van Gogh and
Swnt Paul.
She

She had a kind ot vogue for a\\ hilc in
the- 1960s, when she began wriung music
she satd was channeled w her by the
gn~at composers, and appeared on ..The
Tonight Show" \\ 11h Johnny Carson On
it she gnve the world some good news
and some bad.
Tlw good news was that there was an
aftcl'!ife. The bnd news \Vas that there
wa!> no sex in hea,·en.
She claimed to have watched television Wllh Chopin (wh1ch she said he
found appallmg) and gone shopping with
Lislt, which confirms what T've always
suspected.
Fran/. wa~ a shoppmg l i-.;zt.
Moving right along to other bad jokes,
the Pentngon wa~ supposed to run another lest on the fcasihiliry of a missile
shield la!>t week. hut postponed it. The
mis:ale shteld. as we all know. is lhe
device by which we shoJI be protected

What's it for, then? Oh. It's going ro protect us again't a terrorist counrry loading
on a system to defend ourselves
against a country deciding to commit sut·
cide by missile, when that same country
could get the desired effect anonymously
wuh a fe\' dozen envelopes filled \.\ith
anthrax. and a sheet of 34-cent ~>tamps?
This is a Joke. right'' What's the punchhue! 1 see. THEY POSTPO:t-..'ED THE
ll::ST BECAUSE 01- BAD WEATHER '
You mean to tell me that we're spending all that mone\ on a fair \\Cather missile shield. on the oft chance that when the
third-\' orld loony goes bonkers and
shoob ofT his missile, it will be a mce
day? W11cre is the Wlutc House getting its
material, "Saturday Night Live''?
But seriously folks, this Missile Shield
thing has been a joke since its conception
in the child-like imaginauon of Ronald
Reagan nearly 20 years ago. ll is a defen
sive weapoo.s system that, even tn its ideal
stale, offers very expensive protection
from a threat that is virtually non-exbstcm.
Unfortunately. its state is less than ideal.
Despite Pentagon efforts to load the
dice in favor of success in testing components of the defense system. they ha\e
failed in test after test.
T suppose you could argue that that h
exactly what tests are for - testing !'or
failure in order to improve for succe~s.
These tes!S, however. have been marked
by an intellectual di.<;honcsty that cast<.
serious doubt oo the integrity of tbe entire
enterprise.
A Pentagon spok~per.;on, for example, said that tbe current test might be considered a success even if Jt failed. Even for
the Pentagon. that's setting the bar lo~.
But not as low as the Secretary of
Defense. who has said the system should
be built even though it doesn't work
because the crazy terrorist we're worried
about couldn't be sure that it didn 'l work
and might thus be deterred.
In the meantime the project goe~ on,
sucking up doll~ that might otherwise he
used in shielding us from a real threat.
Is this a great counlr). or what? The
only tlung the mi~ile shield is shielding
us from is a budget surplu~

Caudill as he questioned
Branham dunng the hearing
Friday.
Without the plea agreement
with the commonwealth attorney\ office, Branham could
have faced a I 0-ycar sentence on

Caudill said a pre-sentencing
investigative report will be performed by the Probation and
Parole board to determine factors relating to the ~everity of the
sentence.
Branham's formal sentencing

by SHELDON COMPTON
STAfF WRITER
PRF~TONSBt.:RG - Floyd
County
Bar
As:.ociation
President 111) Calli!> oversaw a
donation made Friday from that
orgnnization to fi \ e count v food
pantries fo1 $5,000.
·
The Jonation was made in
honor ol assoctation member
John Rosenberg and was 1ssucd
at rht.' Floyd County Justice
Center.
Circu1t CourL Judges Danny
P. Caudill and John David
Caudill jointly made the motion
by rhat the donation be rnnde in
Rosenberg':- name.
The money wtll be dblributcd
evenly to five food pantries
across the county.
Rosenberg said of the donation that he hoped it would
encourage other bars to do the
smnc, a stand for charity the. bar
as~oc1atton has U\kcn in other
endeavors as well recently.
"Maybe word will get
around. be~ausc I think we're the
only bnr that docs this, and more
bars will decide to get donations," Rosenberg said.
Callis and other members of
the bar have increased their
donations for this year and
added, for extra emphasis, a res\llution whtch was passed on
December 14, for more appropriation.' for legal aid progrnms
to help those who may not be
financially able to afford representation.
The resolution passed to support an annual appropriation of
$3 million for Kemucky's "legal
aid programs to sustain their
vital role in the administration or
justice'', and funher states that
the "inability to afford legal
counsel effective!) denies access
to the civil justice system to
indtviduals with legal needs."
According to the accepted
resolution.
approximately
700,000 Kentucky famil11!s and
children live on incomes less
than 125 percent of the federal
poveny level and the state ranks
37th in the nation in the total
amount of money spent per poor
person to pro\ tde civil legal
as:.~stance.
Programs funded by the
Legal Services Corporation
through slatT attorneys and pro
bono coordination are the primary source of civil legal assistance
for the poverty striken community. a fact that the Floyd County
Bar Association has sited for
their plea for appropriations to
be made so that ·'legal services
ma> sustain its vital role in the
admimstration of justice."

Story of mysterious 1932 W.Va. murder published
LOGAN. W.Va -A Logan
Count), W.Va.. resident recemly
had his first hook published.
"The Secret Life and Brutal
Death of Mamie Thurman".
authored by F Keith Davis. was
released by Logan Media Inc in
mid-November. The·ncarl) 300page compm.ition represents the
first complete work abut the
mysterious stof) of Mrs. Mamie
Thurman anJ her grisly and
untimel) death 111 the moumatnou::. region surrounding Logan.
the county seat of Logan
County. W.Va., on June 22,
1932.
Mamie Thurman wa., from
BrnJfordsville. She moved to
Logan in 1923 with her hus-
band.
When one thinks of Logan
Coumy history, there are many
fascinating themes for lively
dtalogue.
''For goodness sakes. the
contro' crsial
De• il
Anse
Hatfield is from logan, and the
bloody antics of the Hatfield and
McCoy clans are well documented in history books." stated
Richard Osborne. publi<;hcr and
president of Logan Media
Publishing. ''Another blood-curdling tale, equally unu~uaJ and
bizarre. is rhc true story of Mrs.
Mamie Thurman.
In this story. a prominent
woman from the city of Logan ts
brutally murdered - her neck
clearly broken, lhront slashed,
two point-blanl\ gunshots to the
head. and her lifeless body cast
atop Trace Mountain, near
Holden, W.Va. The time period
makes the ferocious atrocity
even more curious; it was during
the Great Depression, the last
months of Prohibition, in the
center of the Bible Belt.
''According to archival
records. there were as many sus·
pecll. as there were theories of
ho\.,. and why Mrs. Thurman
died," Osborne explained. "Mr.
Davis wa-; able to wke newspa·
per archives, coun records, :md
new interviews with elderly citizens who rcmimsced abuut the
story, and develop a noteworlh>
,.
The Hazard-North Perry Lions Club had their first annual ''Lunch with Santa." These are a few of
the children who came to greet Santa and give him their Christmas wish lists.
-
bit of American history into a
lively, provocarive work The
story represents a re-investigation of the I932 murder."
Osborne added, ··we are
pleased wtth the reader response
to the book, too. Well over 1.000
book.' sold in the first two weeks
afler our initial release, and the
book is gelling rave reviews. We
couldn't be happier. We have
great confidence in the future of
this important stOl)."
''Mamie Thurmau
was
indeed an interesting character."
the author. Keith Da.,.is,
explained. "Married to a
respected small town police
officer. Jack Thunnan. she was
allegedly quite promiscuous and
was dating as many as twelve
prominent businessmen in
Logan County at one tlme.
"She was also an intregal part
of a special Amour Club, a
group of residents that had passkeys to a special room in downtown Logan. As later court testimony revealed. the club was a
favorite hangout for city merchants. professiOnals, and wellknown ciuzens involved in
wife-~wapping gambJing. and
illegal liquor consumption."
''Mamie moved within the
tight-knit tightlipped circle that
consisted of this aristocracy, the
choice class that was often perceJved as being 'above the law'.
This powerful. blue-blooded,
underground that existed was
much like a secret society within a community, where gentry
lips were sealed. and real facts
were probably sequestered of
the criminal nightlife in Logan."
Davis added "How she became
a pan of this elevated social
class i:. hard to understand, considenng she and her husband.
Jack, were not a wealthy couple.
They had lived in a meager tworoom garage apartment, and
Jack's monthly income from the
city had been extremely limited,
even for the times. The answer
to this enigma may be traced
back to Mamie's lifestyle. Her
willingness to 'date' the county's influential and not-so-influential mad her a popular guest at
any party or private club.''
The building where the club
existed still exists in downtown
Logan. and there are slill a few
folks living who rememl:ter
Marn1e and the scandal that
rocked the little coal town.
Dav1:. tells. in broad strokes,
about a complex murder mystery that involves a variety of
interesting and contrasting characters and suspects. This publication tries to answer a few
questions and bring a certain
amount of closure to an ugly
stol)' of sex. secrets. and evildoing. According to Davis, one
would think the story would
have ended with the conviction
of Clarence Stephenson, a
young black man that was a
handyman for a local banker in
town. Through a series of interesting events, Stephenson was
ultimately
COOVlCtCd
for
Mamie's murder and lived the
rest of his life in the penitentiary. However, at the time few
believed that Stephenson actually killed the young socialite.
Even today. there are man} who
believe that Stephenson was
charged with a crime he had
never committed.
If not Stephenson, then who
killed Mamie Thurnlan! Some
believe it was Harr) Robertson,
the banker that Clarence worked
for· others believe it could have
been one of many Jealous wives
from the ·Armour Club·. There
are still those that believe that
either the Ku Klux Klan. the
mob or loc;:.l rumrunners had
been responsible for the murder.
Since 1932. the story of
Mamie Thurman has grown to
ncar folklore propomon),. often
told a-. a ghost talc around a
campsite fire by teenagers.
Many Logan citizens believe
that they ha\e heard Mamie's
tormented voice painfully echo
in the pitch·dark woods of
Logan County. screaming for
truth. JUstice. and clo!.ure. There
arc coal miners who have
claimed to have seen her ghostly apparition in regions of the
Appalachian Mountains of
southern West Virginia.

PSC issues final order
FRANKFORT, KY - The
Kentucky
Public
Service
Commission has issued a final
order in its tnvcsugation into
fees charged b} water utilities
for lire protection servtces.
In its order on admintstrative
case no. 385, the PSC directed
jurio;dictional water utilities to
discontinue the practice of
charging fire districts standby
fee:. for fire protection systems.
In its investigation, the commission found charging a minimum
monthly bill for fire protection
service that include!> a mmimum
amount of water usage to be
unreasonable and directed all
water utilities to ce~se engaging
in such practice.
The commission'-; order also
includes guidelines for fire pro-
tection services to be implemented immediate!) b) water
utilitieo;;. The order also
announced the PSC's tmention
to promulgate adrnJnJstrativc
regulations to govern the pro\ ision of water scrv1ce for lire
protection purposes.
The PSC initiated administf'cltive case no. 385 in December
2000 to investigate the fire protection services that water utilities provide and the fees charged
for these SCI'\ ices. This action
followed
the
Kentucky
-\ssociation of Fire Chiefs'
(KAFC) request for an investigation into standby
fees for private fire protct·Liou. The KAFC had asserted
that standby fees discouraged
the use of tire .;prinkler systems
and encouraged unnecessary
infrastructure inveo;tments and
maintenance cost.;.
The PSC \\ill hold a pub he
hearing on Janual) 24, 2002 at
10 00 a.m. at it<> offices at 2 I 1
So'' cr Blvd. m Frankfort,
Kentucky to rcccivl' public \.'Ommen! on thL' form and content of

A..lmost every year. it was
tclevtsed by r-."BC. which then
had the rights to college basketball.
On the morning of the game,
UK hod a shoot-around thai was
open to the public. Tius was one
of the most amazing phenomenons in college basketball history. It always drew crowds of
more than 10.000. a stunning
tribute to the popularity of UK
basketball. It also was a heckuva
l'ecruiting tool.
The game always was sold
out, and the crowd was about 95
pe1 cent Big Blue. Former lrish
coach Digger Phelps, who had a
2-14 record against UK in
Freedom Hall. came to hate the
game. And the more he complained. the more the crowds
came to jeer him with chant!. of
"Sit down. Digger!"

to revive the series - and it

With proper planning and professonal adv1ce, couples going

Under the

your house was owned :md
used as a principal residence
for at least two out of the t1ve
years before the sale, you may

to your spouse's benefit plan. A
QDRO is a court-ordered disposition of marital property that e:.tabJi,hcs an ex·:>pouse':. legal right to

Among other employee benefits. stock options are increa~ingly
becoming the focus of many
divorce negotiations. Experts tend
to disagree on the ~M way to
divide stock options. e~pccially
since it is often ditlicult to the

Since a QDRO does not apply to
stock options, ihe dissolution of

divorce agreement.
There j, no doubt that t.aX implications can complicate the already

help ensure !hal you minimize taxes when dividing lhe family trea·

How I play golf
Tiger Woods is considered
the best golfer in the world
today, and man~ \\OUid love
to be able to play like him.
Unfortunately, "How I Play
Golf' will not mnke the 8\'Crag.e golfer into Tiger Woods.
But its emphasis on fuo<.lnmentals can make a golfer
better.
The book ts set up tht!
same way Woods learned the
game - fron1 g1·een to tee. H
is loaded Wit h ptcture~.
including photos of Tiger
deliberately doing lhings the
wrong way. That is entertaining in its own right, because
seeing Woods making mis-
takes is a rare thing.
'!Iow l Play Golf' also
features nuggets of Woods'
phtlosophy, everything from
"P.vemually you bave to put
tcchmqucs to the fire to see if
they hold up" co "Other
goiter" may outplay me from
time to time. but they'll never
outwork me" and "The true
essence of golf is capstali7ing
on opportunities and minimizing militakes.'' The Tiget
Wood:.. theology of golf is
readi ly apparent as the pages
nrc turned.
The book includes a chapter that discusses weight training. stretching, diet and aero-
bics - things not usuully
a!lsociated wirh a golf book.
Other chapters appeal directly
to a golfer's heart, like "How
to Smoke the Driver."
''Hoy. I Play Go1C' is ..1
comprehensave examination of
the game of golf through the
eyes of Tiger Wood~ . It contains so much inforn1ation
that. after reading the book:
through once, a dedicated
golfer would do well to take
one <"haptcr l!aCh month or 'iO
and work on that aspet·t of the
game. And although the hook

golfer should Luke notes. as it

How to hand self-righteous mother-in-law
DEAR SAM &
Spirit. in Bethlehem. Pa.
DAVE:
This year, things are l.:tnu ot
tough tor me finandally. and I
won't be able to spend the kind
ol money l'm Ulied to spending
on Chrlstmns gifts. In fact , if I
didn·t buy anytHlC in my family gifts tllis year, I might actually be able to keep my head
above water budget wise. r· ve
explained my suuation to my
family members. and they've
all been supportive. However,
my older brother just doc~on'l
get the mcs age. He recently
sent me an e-mail with lrnk) to
very expen:;ive, upscale catalog sites and mcluded a wish
list of things he'd ltke for
Chrhtmas. How 1!0 1 let m)
cluele~s brother know that 1
was senou;, when I ~atd I'm all
tapped-out this year?
- Brokl', hue nM Pooa· in
DAVE SAYS:
Simple. Don·t buy Jughcad
anything. Also reply to hi<, email reiterating the fact that
you have no money to spend
on presents this )Car. Problem
s()lvctl
I don't li.now what it is
about some people. No matter
how many times you tell them
something. they never seem to
get it through their tbtck
skulls. Besides, Christmas
isn't supposed to be about present" and stuff. lt 's about gorging on all the food you love so
that you' ll be sick of it nU b)
the time you make your New
Year·~
resolution to lose
wetght.
One thing you could do this
year is make gifts for your
family members. They don'L
have to be expensive or elabo-
rate. Thio.; wa> • you'll be able
to feel good abnut gi\'ing, and
your fanuly wtll have a liHie
c:omethmg from the heart in
return.
SAM SAYS:
E~1'n;ail
your brother and
cxplmn to him that his ta:.tes
are too ~1tpens1ve for your wal·
let. but that you would like to
do something ruce for him for
the holidays Then tell him that
you plan to volunteer in his
name to help at a local school,
bring meals to the elderly or
teach an adult literacy class in
your community.
Perhaps thi y.jJI help him
put hie; materialism into a
wider pcrsp~cthe. and you
will have the added bonus of
being able lO feel a little smug.
Not to mention the fact that
volunteering will make YOU
feel good, .1s well ns the people

They eat to the point where
they have ro take antacids and

hours before attempting to button up their pnnts.
If you want to celebrate a
healthy holiday season, here
arc some suggestions.
• Eat a good breakfast on
the day of the f~st. Your
metabolism will Slay elevated,
and you'll be less likely to eat
so much later on. Have a bowl
of cereal and fruit. or egg
whites and some fruit.
• Tf you happen to be the
one cooking, many healthy
ingredJenb can be substituted
for high-fat or high~alorie
ones. Try skim instead of whole
milk in the mashed potatoes.
Usc Egg Beaters or egg whites
instead of whole eggs. Use butter substitutes !>UCh as Molly
McBuuer. Try low-fat or fatfree dressmgs (but try them out
beforehand. some have a nice
taste, while others don't).

St. Joseph for a IMng NatiVIty scene -com·
pletely loses his cool and hurts a tomato at
Santa Dad m full v1ew of a horrified crowd.
Mayhem uwolvtng a crew of infuriated elves
quickly ensues.
"We had a blast domg th1s eptsode," Logue
says. "I knew we had a funny script. but it's
mcKe fun to play Joseph than when you read
htm.
Isn't that What they always say? 'Joseph:
the lost funnyman?' "
The 35-year-otd actor is maktng no secret of
the fact that he hopes th1s eptsode Will help
expand the audtence lor th1s smart little family
sitcom about two young parents from the rock
'n' roll generation trying to be responsible par·
ents to a tno of kids that includes a melodramatic 15-year·old daughter, Uly (Lynsey
Bartilson).
Logue's occasional comic eruptions are
ntcely balanced by cool Megyn Pnce as hiS
sane wife, Claudia.
The show has recetved warm reviews but
remains off the radar for most Fox v1ewers, with
rrttle or no promotion from the networi<
"There's kind of an advantage to flying
under the radar as we've done, although I may
just be living in denial," Logue says. "When a
show has a htgh profile star like Michael
Richards or Jason Alexander in it, the expects·
lions are so huge that it is under an incredible
amount of pressure to succeed.
"I'd much rather just go along quietly doing
wori< we're very proud of and building an audience slowly of viewers Who discover this hidden
little treasure of a show."

When in doubt,
be a tree
I've touched on the subject of dug
aggression in previous articles. mostly
an reference to the dog-bite prevention
programs we present to children.
Sometimes we need to go a little deeper into the issue than the standard "Be a
Tree, Be a Rock' elementary-school
instructions.
We can all readily fom1 a mental
image of :m "aggressive" dog - hackles
raised, growling. snarling, and lunging.
Actually there are no less than a dozen
recognized categories of canine aggre~
StOn. including Maternal, Territorial.
Food-Related,
Dominance,
and
Possessive. One of the most overlooked form<; is Fear-Related aggression.

emotions however, have the same basic
purpose when you g<.:t right Jo~ n to it -
they hoth serve to increase the distance
hetween two indivtduals. Remember
the ''fight-or-llight" respon~e? Thts is
it. "Fight," or aggression, gets the other
individual to mo"e away from you ;
·'Right... or the fear rl.!sponse, makes
you move.

reason, afraid of men wearing haL'i. He

brother-in-law (of course weanng his

under the couch.
In this case, lhe dog's normal
response of flight was prevemed
because in all the excitement, he d1d not

aggressive behavior was pretty clcarcuL aod the behavtor was predictable
given the dog's known fear. In realitv
there are fc\\ situation~ this obvious. I~
:.orne cases it i" difficult. or even
impo~sihle. to pinpoint what is causmg

After receiving an anonymous call, social
workers visited the home and transported
the children to Highlands Regional Medical

abuse.
"The social workers and state police that
responded observed numerous bruises on
both the children, primarily on the legs and

The S-shape marks came from a branding iron. an metal rod used often in bmnding

Clarification
An article in the
December 9 edition of
The Floyd County Times
pertainmg to a concluded
Investigation by the
Kentucky State Police
1nto a crime spree taking
place in Knott and Floyd
counties may have led
our readers to believe
that all three persons
arrested in connection to
that investigation were
charged with burglary,
theft and forgery. That
was not case.
According to Knott
County Circuit Court
records, the three per·
sons arrested - Richard
~ Collins. Natasha
Sammons and Tommy
Thornsberry - were not
charged collectively with
all three aspects of the
investigation.
Richard Collins, 18, of
Hollybush, was charged
with two counts of theft by
unlawful taking and one
additional count of
forgery.
Natasha Sammons, 18,
of Pippa Passes, was
charged w1th one count of
theft by unlawful taking in
~ connection to the tnvesti·
galion .
Tommy Thornberry, 21,
of Garrett, was charged
with one count of theft by
unlawful taking.
The Times regrets any
confusion this lack of clarity may have caused.

home.
The young bo) denied any
abuse from either parent. H1s
testimony. coupled Wllh the te~
umony of both Benjamin nod
Patricia Spurlock, may have
affe~ted the final outcome of
the case.
1 he Spurlocks testified that
the children had been playing
e ither in a fireplace or a heater
.lnd that the "S-stick" was only
u~ed ns a disciplinary measure
10 "tench the children about the
dangers of playing in fire." said
Bartle) .
Both parents denied that the
tmmd1og 1ron was heated when
it was used.
''I don't think that the jury
helieved that the parents used a
hot branding tron un the children," said Patton. "Both the
pro~ccution and defense pre'>Cntcd photographs that I felt
supported the defense. There
wasn't any stgn of an) abuse
wtth these children. Apparently.
the JUry did what they felt was
appropriate. We· re pleased they
didn't find them guilty on the
first-degree charges."
According to Banley. another factor that may have contributed to the lesser verdict
included the lack of evidence
~uggcstmg any prior history of
abuse toward the children.
Bartley also noted thai the
physical injurie~ on the children
bad healed. and ..no scarnng
was observed by the jury."
"The law does pennit parents to use discipline on their
children." said Banle). "But the
law also requtres discipline to
be appropriate. considering the
welfare of the children."
Following
the
verdict,
Bartley recommended a oneyear sentence for each of the
two counts against both individuals.
Benjamin

Food
• Continued from
bc.a1 la<;t year·~ numbers.
During charity effons la~t
)Car, the count) attorney',
oflice delivered over 4.000
canned food items donated from
vanous businesses and individuals across the count) and over
500 boxed food items. The
donations were taken to 15 diltcrem pantries throughout the
county and afforded. according
to B<u'!ley, an estimated 1,500
fumili~s a consistent food
source.
"The best estimate last year
v. as that there was about 1,500
families heing fed on a regular
ha.,i:.." satd Bartley. ''And this
number becomes e'en more so
dunng the hohday~ ob\~ou~ly. "
The donations do not have a
cuH>ff date. however, that runo;
parallel to any holiday. as
Bartle} stressed he would con'linue 10 take donations as long
a$ people brought in food .
"As long as people keep
bringing the food in, we'll keep
taking it," :;aid Bartley.
One incentive BanJey used
during last season·~ donation
efforts was an agreement for the
county attorney's office 10
waive bad check fees and. perhaps in soml! instances. make
arrangements in the cnsc of tickets.
'I his incentive. although 1t
will still stand a' an offer and
hook for garnering more donations, may nut be so often utilized thiS time around. said
Bartle) .
·•various individuals and
busincs~e~ have brought m
donations, the overwhelming of
which haven't asked for anything in retum," Banley said.
"Most of the people don't want
anything m retum. They find out
there is a need and a lbCation
where they can give and they do
so."
Bartley estimated that only
25 percent of the donations
taken in so far have been accompanied with a request for a special 'ervicc in return.
Another stmilarity from last
year will be the amount taken in.
..aid Banley.
" At the rate we have food
coming in. I would sa} we'll
ha\ e the ame delivery schedule
as la~t )'car,'' said Bartle).
Bartley said tiis office delivered food to the various pantries
at a mte of two deliveries a
week., and expects this year to be
the same, making sure tO not let
the size of a potential donation
stand in the way of the food
making its way to his office and
thl·n on 10 a pantl).
"If somebody wanl'> to make
a lurge donation, we'll make
arrangement~ to come and pick
it up," -.aid Ban ley. "Jma call us
p1
at the office and we'll see that it
all gel'> di\ ided as equally a~ is
humanly possible and taken to
food pantries.''
The majonty of the donation-.
this year have been from local
businesses, but have also included a sizable number of private
donations.
Another important aspect
that many people have asked
about has been if there are any
special needs that need to be
met, said Bartley, adding that
this is often the case and that hi!>
office frequently calls the
pantries and inquires about certain items that could be more
beneficial in cenain circumslallces,
"Some pantrie~ have special
needs,"
said
Bartley.
"Sometimes people call and ask
us what we need and in that case
we would encourage them to
call us and we '11 tell them what
the pantry needs.''
The ..overflow" of food item!>
already taking up space in
Banley's oftice i!> a welcome
sight. he said.
" It's really nice to sec
because in today's world, since
the Sept. 11 attack<>, there are
still a lot of people out there
willing to give,'' said Bartley.
"Maybe it just made some peo·
ple realize bow bad this world
can really be.''

Limits needed
to save state's
Medicaid
Ncarl) four years af!o the state legislature - in part spurred by
the powerful lobby ol th~: pharmaceutical 1ndustl"y - made it ea~ier
for Medicaid patients to get brand name dmgs.
Before 199~. pre authorization \\as needed to receive the more
expensi\'e prescriptiOn drugs, but pharmaceutical companies, along
with some doctors and pharmacb.ts, complatncd of the Oldditional red
tape cau ed h) lhb proce,s.
The new legislation created an open tonnulary, which means a
patient can be prc:-;c-rihed any medicauon, regardless of cost.
As a re~uh, prc,l'ription drug co<;ts for thl· Medicaid program
increased h) $85 milhon between 1998 and 1999. And the cost of
the'e drugs~~ now con,tdered the biggest drain on the -.tate's
Medicaid bullget, whtch will tace a $t63 million shonfall neJtt ~ear.
according to the Legislative Research Commission.
Lawmakerc; had a chance to remed) the problem this year by
re<;toring re,triction~ on hrnnd-name drug<;, but the Senate could not
pass legislation ca1 licr approved by the House of Representath es.
LaS! week. the qme once again po,itioned itself to address the
issue. The Pham1acy <md Therapy Commlltee. a group of mne doctors
and three pharmat'ISI formed to ad\ 1se the Cabinet for Health
Services, voted to rcc.:ommend that generic drugs be prescribed to
treat gasu ic in flu~. And more restrictions on medication for cholesterol and amideptessant~ nrc being considered - all three areas that
have been identified as those driving up cost~ the most.
By no means do we ndvocatc improper treatment for the lowifl~:omc who rely uo Medicaid But. despite the claims of phunnaceuucal manufacturers, most phonnaci~L~ and physicians agree th:ll
generic drugs are fmc. according to Kathy Kustra. special Medicaid
ass1~tarll to GO\ Paul Patton.
If these drugs effccti\ely treat the henlth 1ssue . while helP.111g to
get c.:o.. ts under control, then It's an option the state would be irrcponsible not to pursue.
At the same time. the legislalUre mu~t nbo correct the problem it
created last year \\Jth a pro\'lSion that wa. slipped into :>tate Ia'"· That
provision allow~ Kcntucl.:~ • phannacJSts to charge £he highest
Medtca1d prescripuon drug dt pen,ing fee in the nation.
Once agatn it ecm~ n case of catering to lobbyists, as the proviSIOn was tucked imo un unrelated health-insurance bill and went virtually unnoticed until last week. Estimates are the new law cost the
Medicaid program $20 million.
Already. about 20 pcrc~nt of Kentuckian .. over tbe age of 60 are
l1vmg an poverty. The 2000 census outlined the continued graying
etfect in the state. as tht! number of people 65 or older i~ e'pected to
reach 17 percent hy 2002. and the total number will double over the
next half-century
The ~tate's Medicaid program is in serious trouble at a time when
it will be needed most Limiting brand-nume drugs and lowcrtng dispensing fees are a must to help reign in costs. lt's oo time for legislator~ to ko\\ tow to the pham1aceutical manufacturers and phannacbh.

has deterred roster family adoptions. In response, the 2001
General Assembly passed
House Bill 62, which waives
tuition and mandatory srodenl
fees at all Kentucky public postsecondary educational institutions for Kentucky foster children and children adopted from
Kentucky fostc1 care.
State Representative Steve
Nunn (.R-Giasgow) was a primary sponsor of the tuition waiver
measure and remains a strong
supponer of the program.
"I'm pleased with the success
of the tuition watver program to
date and am hopeful it encourages more foster families and
others to become adoptive families," Nunn said. "The tuition
waiver program offered a
unique opportuntty for state
government and our public postsecondary institutions to show
we really do care about
Kentucky's foster children and
-w
~
families."
The current semester is the
ftrst for whtch tuition waivers
under HB 62 have been awarded. Application for the waiver
may be made up to four years
after high school graduation.
and eligible students may
receive waivers for five years
after first entering any Kentucky
public postsecondary educational institution
To qualify. students must
meet all admission requirementS
for the school and maintain academic e}tglbiiity while enrol1ed.
ln addition·
• The slUdcnt's family must
have received a Kentucky adoption subsidy; or,
• The student must currently
be in court-ordered foster care
with the Cabinet for Families
and Children (CFC) or the
Department of Juvenile Justice
(DJJ): or,
• The !>tudent must be in a
srate-provided or state-contracted independent living program;
or.
• The student must have
been in the court-ordered custody of the CFC or DJJ pnor to
being adopted b) a famil} that
resides in Kentucky. or.
• The student must have
been in court-ordered cuslOdy of
the CFC or DJJ on his or her
18th birthday.
Conley sa1d most application
rejections occur because: the
applicant was adopted privately
and was never in srate foster
care: the waiver is requested for
an out-of-state or private school
not participating m the program:
application was made after me
four-year cligibilit) penod following high school: or the applicant was not adopted or in state
care at age 18. There is an
appeals process for those who
feel thetr applications were
improperly denied.
A secondary goal of HB 62 is
to encourage more Kentucky
students to continue their educauon after high school Currenr.ly,
56 percent of all high school
graduates in Kentuck} go on to
postsecondary
instruction,
according to lbe Council on
Postsecondary Education.
This year, about 659 foster
and publicly adopted students
tWll 18. and about half of lhem
are expected to enroll promptl}
in postsecondary education and
recetve tuition waivers.
If those receiving waivers are
distributed among Kenruck)
institutions according lO patterns noted ror the t 998-1999
academic year. 46 percentwill
attend a comprehensive fouryear college or university, 27
percent w1ll attend one of the
state', research institutions and
the remaining 27 percent will
attend a technical or community
college
This first-semester exper:i~
ence with the wa1ver program
has raised issue!> that may be
addressed through funher legislation. The cabmer will not seek
changes in HB 62. but Conley
said legislators may propose
that.
• the waiver apply to undergraduate programs only:
• the program be expanded
to include part·ttme students.
and
• the progrom mclude children who were adopted in
Kentucky but have since moved
out of state.
Conley said legislators rrught
also consider limiting waivers to
the cost o( m-state tuition. e\'en
if a qualifying student must pay
the higher tuttion rate that
applies to nonresidenb.

the tutllon waher. contact Mike

told that they are ent.ering a simulated experience m which
they are 25 year" old and are the sole support for their families. They are given a booklet detailing thetr occupation
and average monthly salary. They arc then directed first to
the "Uncle Sam .. booth where volunteers "skim off the top··
of thexr salaries and direct them to the neighborhood
''bank" where they open checking accounts and arc offered
the option of ettber placing their remaining funds in :o;avings
or holding all their assets in checking.
After making these decisions. the students arc then left
to wander the booths at will and embark on life decisiOn<;.
Each student must visit each booth before they leave the
session. but !.he order m which they visit each booth is left
up to them. The students must vtSII housing. where they
make decisions regarding purchasing a home or opting to
rent. and tally subsequent monthly payment~ in regard ~~
this decision.
Next they may visit eilher home supplies. where they
can purchase furnirure and household ttems such as cleaning supplies and personal toiletnes. or the insurance

insurance. Booths were also set up for medical and dental insurance purchases and tnformation. city utilities.

entertainment. property tax. charitable contributions. and
transportation.
The transportation booth seemed to be a popular booth
as the students were quite eager to ''purchase" the auto·
mobile of their dreams. Lowell Brock, a Prestonsburg
High School junior and member of the Aoyd County 4-H
Teen Council. helped students make decisions regarding
the type of automobile they would buy as well as helping
them to calculate their monthly payments. giving them a
good indication of the type of automobile they could realistically afford. ··one poor girl,'' he said. "was short .30
cents being able to buy a car." When asked if she couldn't opt to get a second job. he replied, ''She already had
one!".
ln cases such as these, students were directed to the
"S.O.S." (Save Our Sian) booth, where they were prov1ded
with options such as second mortgages, or personal loans.
They were aJso directed to the :;upplemental income booth
where !.hey could sign up to take on a second job if they had
not already done so. The students were also informed of
the possible consequences of making such decisions.
"Our committee decided that the S.O.S. booth would
focus highly on family budgeting and personal decismns.
We also chose to emphasize supplemental income in the
form of second jobs. The committee decided to not employ
welfare as an optton. that isn't the direction we want to
steer these kids," said Chuck Stamper. Floyd County
Extension Service 4-H and Youth Development Agent.
"Each student's occupation was based on their current
GPA," said Stamper, "then we gave them a salary according lo the current pay rme for that occupation. The fun
begins when they start visiting the booths and seeing. where
that paycheck goes."
Another popular stop was the booth of the "Crystal
Ga?:er." played by Rita Brock. As student!. approached,
Brock would entice. "Would you like to take a chance?".
The Crystal Gazer's bo\\ I was filled wilh slips detailing life
sJtuauons such as "Your child tell out of a tree and broke
their arm. You have not yet met your heallh insurance
deductible, pay $250... The slip~ could also, however, read
something like. "Your Aunt Eflie passed away, leaving you
$2,500. Add thi~ to your bank account ·· True to life. there
seemed to be more ''payment due" slips in the bowl than

Area high school students were kept busy being directed to various "reality" booths in a quest to "acquire"
adequate housing, transportation and life's necessities
before the close of Tuesday's session.
··credit your account" slips. so the students soon learned to
approach the Crystal Gazer wtth some Lrcpidation. Backing
out of drawing a ~lip from !.he gypsy's bowl, however. was
not an option. as each student was required ro ~top once and
''take a chance on life. 'Ae;. one student dre'" out a slip
detailing a somewhat costly "life event'' she was overheard
to say in a rather exasperated tone. ''All rve got left is my
kids!".
The Reality Star~ program offers high ~chool students a
ti~t hand glimpse into daily adult living a~ they open bank
accounts. make consumer decistons, pay bilb, and balance
a checkbook. They learn much about the realities of

encouraging them to concentrate on their academic studies
and \'iew higher education as an optiOn for theLr future.
"The Reality Store is a '' onderful program that brings
the community and schools together" said Stamper.
"Students get a chance to see what the ' real world' is like.
It would not be a succes-; without everyo~Je working together and we apprecwte all the commumt) support that we
received for this event "
into this "MTV'' world. Like countless
mothers before me, I have worried that all
the years I have spent teacb.ing respect,
non-violence and tolerance. coupled with
enthusiastic "preacb.ing" in regard to
drilling unnecessary holes in and applying
permanent artwork to the precious bodies
that formed in my very womb, would come
to be aJl to no avail once my dear ones
entered through the portals of that "other"
world - high school.
What I discovered on Tue!'iday is that
these kads are, essentiaUy. the very same
kids that I myself went to high school with.
Tbe very same kind of kid, that I myself.
was.
Granted, no one in my high school class
had a pierced tongue or a pierced eyebrow
and no one, except maybe one or two
"refonn school" turnarounds. sported tattoos of any kind. But. you know what? AU
of us, tn each our own way. touted our individuality. We wore tattered and battered
blue Jeans, overaUs, and tie-dyed t-sbirts .
Clogs and athletic shoes were among our
favored footwear and some boys had hair as
long and wavy as any girl in the entire class.
My own hair was worn long and straight as
a stick. just as many young girls today are
wearing theirs.
We sometimes skipped class, helped a
classmate cheat, and held conversations in
the parking lot about everything from rock
'n roll to drugs to sex. (Not that we actually
really knew what we were talking about,
mind you, we just wanted to be ·'cool,'' you
know?) We listened to music that our parents hated and bemoaned our misfortune to
be born in such a small and "backward"
community. Why you had to Lravel all the
way to Lexington or Charleston to see a
good rock 'n roll concert and very few of us
could hope to do that So, we dreamed. We
dreamed of "getting away," of going to college and prying loose those parental holds
We talked of "skipping graduation·• and
"partying." We vowed to exert our independence and reject the status quo.
We were shameful. said our grandparents. We had a lot to learn, said our parents.
We would never make anything of ours~ves
with those attitudes, warned our teachers.
But. for the most part, we did make
something of ourselves and. also for the
most part, we managed to not bring too
much shame upon our families. our communities. or ourselves. In short. we made it
through those difticult and torturous teen
years. And we seem to be doing okay.
Today we stand with our families and our
children and we teach respect and we support our country in its strifes and struggles.
We have matured and the voices of our parents and grandparents echo in our ears.
Voices that we heard all along and even if it
seemed as though we were paying no mind
to the words. we actually were.
This new generation of £eens - !.he whole
tattooed. pierced. and motley crew of themare doing no more than what teens of my
generation and teens of countless other generations have done, they are merely expressing their individuality. They are wavering
on the edge of independence and !.hey are
looking for their own personal space under
the sun.
Through all the piercings, the tattoos. the
long hair,the ·•rock star" clothing and bravado, this generation is merely doing a:, countless others before them. They're just trying
to figure it all out. And, as for us. rather
than levying suspicion and criticism, let's
exhibit some of that tolerance we preach
about- show a little faith and lend a little
guidance.

EARNS COMFORT
THE HARD WAY
Betsy Layne seniors spread cheer
The Betsy Layne Senior Citizens group paid a visit to Mt. Manor Nursing Home, Prestonsburg, on
Wednesday morning, December 12, to sing Christmas carols for the home's residents. Nannetta
Yates, center director, accompanied Elizabeth, Lorraine, Josephine, Judy, Norma, Areala, Oftle,
Sharlene, Jessie, and Agnes to the nursing facility.
The family pooch lost his third encounter
with a motor vehicle Sunday morning while
giving chase to our car. <md for a time it
looked as if he had departed thas vale of
tears. But he qutckly revived. did a disappearing act for a few hours. long enough for
us to mourn him as dead. then sho\lied up
with a loud demand for entrance to the
house.
As a consequence of a11 thts. he hasn't
been banished into the cold outstde \\ orld
once aU week. Which. perhaps. makes ltte
more of a mystery to him !.han ever.

being an involved repon that could take time to
completely digest and prevent any further

One concern Hnked to the
implementation of badges.
according to suppon team members. is that ccrtam employees
could ~imply luke their badges
with them even though they
may no longer be employed by
the school and reenter the

Thic; concern was highlighted
in tenns of sub... titut.e teachers
during Monday'::; meetings, considenng the constant mflux of
various sub:.titutcs from around
the county in and out of schools.
HO\~;ever. l11is should not be

the East Kentucky Center for

w1th several other projects. He

ln the wake ot so many
accomplishments, Rosenberg
sa~d retireJDent would simply
allow him flexibility now that
his mind has turned to other
interests such as frumly and per·
~onal interests.
"I will miss this work. I enjoy

hut la!>l year wa" my 70th binh·
day and when I hu that age it
struck me that my lil'c expectan·
cy was somewhat limned, I
might want to do some other
thmgs." said Rosenberg. "When
you're working every day you
are much more restricted and I
just leel that 1 ne.::d a lillie more
fleXIbility in my da)· so 1 can
feel less obligated.''
Fellow staff member~ at
Appalred Joled during celebra·
tion festivities on Saturday that
Rosenberg struggled with the
term ·•retirement" for a few
clays, often referring to the his
decision to leave as a ''transi·
tJ<:m.''
..1 don't want to use the word
·rcurcment' because John"s not
retiring." said AppaJrcd co·
worker Larry York during
Saturday•s ceremony 'That's
the wrong word. John will be
around forever He's just making some lateral ~novcs of some
sort."
Apart from York's lighthcart·
ed commems. tran~iuon may be
closer to what Rosenberg will
acrually be involved m. accord·
mg to his future plans men·
uoned on Tuesday.
'T m going to try ro raise
some additional funding for the
science center as the chair of
that board." said Rosenberg.
'Tve always ~><:en interested in
getting people interested in science and math. I think we have
some good minds here. and I
also wam to get the May House
open. I'm real proud of that project."
In addition to those plans.
Rosenberg, who first brought
the news of his retir~ment to fel·
low staff members 10 AugusL,
also mentioned that he will continue to practice law in a private
setting and hopes to hdp citizens. But, perbap~ his most
ambitious project is the
Appalachian Citizens Law
Center, an agency that will be
headed by Steve Sanders and
will work witll coal related
cases as well as environmental
cases.
Rosenberg said on Tuesday
he had been able to obtain fund·
mg for the center and hopes to
continue work on that projecL,
which is presently seeking law
clerks for the summer of 2002.
As well as leaving in his
absence proJects to be shaped

ln a letter read by Appalred

Rosenberg was highlighted as
an example for futun~ lawyers.
"When talking 10 young
lawyers." Combs· letter read. "I
often cite your career as the very
kind of example they need lo

Forever humble, Rosenberg
exemplified the character that so
many have come to know him
by in his opening statements
Saturday.
''This i~ just such a thriJL"
Rosenberg said. addressing a

But Rosenberg may have
placed llb entire life's work in a
compact belief in tinal comments madt! on Tuesday when
he expressed the desire that has
pushed him to such levels of
achievement during the course

"It's just nice to be appreciated and I hope I can keep work·

doesn't blow with me. 1 think all relationsh.ips. blood or otherwise. should

For lhose of you who don t mmd laking time to string popcorn
fora fUn Ouistmas lree omamcnt you mtght consider using those
IJolhersome packagmg peanuts instead of popcorn
If you re hke most people who get packages w1th two tons of
pacbaing peanuts per pound of packaged matenal you no\~ have
auother use for them. They an~ easy to tnnl! and don t get as
crumbly as popcom
1b add vanety to your stnngs of packagmg peanut.;. consider
putting buttons randomly on the strings too. The best buttons are
the big colored coat buttons. You can usu.lll) find a vuriety of
buttons from any fahric or craft store
Another use for buttons ts to ha\ c the kids make ornaments
from them. Glue can.lboard, and buttons arc the only materials
needed. You can cut lihapes like pme trees and candy caoe:) out of
the cardboard and have the kids glue the buuons onto the cardboard Most glue wjiJ dry lhc buttons on one side wathiu an hour

Keeping away the financial grinch
The holidays are rapidly
approaching. Soon we 'II be
indulging in favorite seasonal
muais: decorating the hearth at
home, baking traditional treats.
singing carols and con·espond·
ing \\ ith faraway friends. Then
there's the most popular holiday activity of lhem all-shopping!
CCCS is a non-profit organization that helps individuals
and families with budgets
and/or repayment plans for
those who may be overextended or who may need assistance
living within a budget. CCCS is
a member of the National
Foundation for Consumer
Credit and is endorsed and supported by creditors nationwide.
According
to
CCCS.
indulging in the latter is what
often lands consumers in financial trouble.
..It's easy to gel caught up in
the holiday spirit and overspend," says Johnny Cantrell,
executive dtrector of CCCS of
Central Kentucky. "Quickly,
along with all the gift purchases. consumers accumulate debt
they can not repay.
"Cantrell adds that holiday
merry makers can best avotd
financial problems by shopping
carefully and sticking to a
spending plan.
CCCS offers the following
tips to keep from overspending
thts holiday sea::.on:
• frim your gift list. How
many presents do you really
need to buy'? This year. buy
only lor close friends :md fam·
ily-give everyone else a card.
tl.take a pact with family member:, to draw names so that each
member buys and receives a
gift.
• Spend less per person.
Before shopping, decide and
list what you can afford to
spend on each person. Then
snck to those limits. Spending
$5 extra on somenne may not
seem like much. but if you do
so for everyone on your list
you quickly blow your budget
• Choose less expensive
alternatives It's the thought
that counts Select inexpensive
gifts that you know the rectpient will appreciate.
• Don't shop in a rush.
People most likely wtll overspend if they are hurried. Shop
when you have plemy of time
and won· 1 feel pressured to buy
the tirst item you ~ee. Shop at
less crowded times to avoid the
holiday rush.
• Pay with cash whenever
possible. Take just enough cash
for the items you plan to buy.
Using cash help~ you stick to
your allotted budget. If you use
credit, use only your lowest
rate card and plan to pay it off
within three months.

Sometime around
Thanksgiving my husband started
telling me he would like to get me
a nice Chri!>tmas present this year.
(He talks about it every year.)
He'd say things like."] wish
you'd think of something and tell
me what you'd like to have.
Detecting a serious note to hts
request one day, I said. "Well, I'd
really like to have some new bar
stools for the kitchen." He told
me I didn't need any new bar
Moob. and explained, ''The ones
we. have are good for a long time
yet."

this small, and sometimes overlooked. community.
Light~ of var) ing coiMli set neighb0rhood~; aglow from
one corner to the next. From the Drift Presbyterian Church
to the far community limits. Christmas shone from one end
of the small couutv ne~t to the other.
One hou~e in p~rticular, though, stood out among the
rest. Chosen as the Drift Woman·~ Club Yard of the Month
for the month of December. 1he home of Richard and Myrtle
Bowens is gaily decorated for the holiday season. Mere
words and photographs alone cannot capture che essence of
what one sees
upon driving past
the Bowen~;·

In addition to
an abundance of
greenery, holiday

Cars filled with bright-eyed children and wondering
adults parade past the Bowens' home each evening to enjoy
the festive display. '·Lots of people drive by." said Richard
Bowens. "but I don't do this for the publicity at all. l do it
tor the kids .''
Bowens relate~ that as a child, he lost a father, as well as
a stepfather, "So I had to go to work early , I didn't get
much lime to be a kid. I worked the coal mines by day and
that old theater by night.'' "That old theater" in Bowens·
words 1s the nO\\ abandon~d Drifl Theater that still sits near
the community's post office,
"llabored all my life:· he continued. ''And now. l just
tinker around. a little bit more each year, with these
Christmas things. The kids seem to like it."
Bowens says that he first began working on his holiday
display "about 15 years ago." "l use simple motors and pulleys to turn the carousel and the paddle wheel and get Santa
Claus' sleigh to travel from the yard to the front porch, it
ain't much hard to do," he modestJy related. "My daughters
have helped me quite a bit. too. They bring things by to add

Talk about a media blitzl
How many times a day are
TV viewers fortunate
enough to see ~liss Cleo
and her fortune-telling
cards?
"There I" no feeling a<:
strong as connecting with a
Master Psychic and learning
about who you are. where
you came from and where
you are heading.'' her internet ad reads. "Learning has
never been so powerful."
On TV she'll say something like. "Dump him.
Honey, he's no good:· to
some sobbing, apparently
broken-hearted female ou
lhe other end of the phone.
They'll answe1 something like. "Qh, you're wonderful Miss Cleo, that's just
what I'll do. I just can't
believe you knew about h1s
stealing the truck, robbing
the liquor store and running
off with my besl friend. Ob.
you're wonderful.''
But as wonderful U!i she
is, there·!i a down side to
this whole deal: there are
those who actually believe
that this sweet. ever-smiling
woman really does have
psychic powers. They
beleive it to the point that
they call in for advice from
her and spend millions of
dollars a year so she can tell
them pretty much what they
already know in the first

The subject came up again a
few days ago and. again. he
seemed really anxious to please
me. To let me know hO\\ concerned he v. as. he malie a few
suggc.stions like, "You don't nct-d
a diamund ring. and you don't
want a fur coal. But 1f you can
thmk ol anything,\\ ithin rhe
hounds ol rca~on, I'd htc to get it
for you."
He seemed to he thmking pret·
ty big so I decided th1s might be
my chance. "How about a new
car'l'' I asked. I hen he continued.
"As 1 :;aid. anything within the
hounds
reason-up tu a hun-
or

dred dollars."' Maybe il' I ask for a
tank of gas for the car l have... at
least he can't say I don't need
that. He says I spend more timt>
lln the road than I do in the
kitchen.
I have an iden I'll get a real
prelt) card. He splurges on tho~e .
Seeing Home Folks
Mv friend Jean Hall and I were

Freedom of the

- Felix Frankfurter
guest 1ew
Packed planet
Remember rhc populariun homh'! Year' back it ticked in every
American ear, bUI rhesc day:- no one seem' to hear it. Pcrhap~ lhnt's
because U.S. fcmlity rates have dropped through the floor, and
global rates ha\'C been cut in half m JU~t three decades. So can't \\ e
stop worrymg the homb might blow!
Not nt all, say fanner Sen.
Wirth of Colorado. and he
l)hould !~:now O\\ pre ident of the United Nations Foundation.
Wirth pends a lot of t1me mulling the y..orJd's hard facts- and
coaxmg Amencan to face them Recentl~ he came to to\\ n to talk
~p the U.N. Popularum Fund's latest report. which highlights the
hnk between glob.tl crowding and environmental ruin.
The recenr fall in fcrtilit) nttcs h. heartening, Wuth grams. but
it's no re.tson to relax. The planer is already so packed that it can't
afford even toda) 's sloY..cr growth rates. In the next 50 )Cars,
world population Y..illrist• hy ~limost h.llf. ti·om today'<; 6.1 billion
to 9.3 billion. None of the increase will occur in the wealthy West.
But over those five decades, the wotld's 48 poorest countries will
triple in size.
So what will the wrold he like with 9.3 billion people on board
- 85 percent of them living in developing countries? The U N.
report offers an ominous pnnrait. By 2050. it says. nearly half the
world's citi2'cns will luck ,uffic1en1 water for drinking. sanitation
and cooking. If populatiOn gr~>Wtll continues to outpace food production, billion are sure to be hungry as well. The upsurge in
greenhouo;e ga c wall tum up the global thermostat by nearly 6
degrees centigrade - melting icecaps, flooding coasrl:md,
spurring storm and rednl\\ mg the re~ource map. The human clamor for sun ivn1 '"Ill ~trip fore ts. destro) habitat and propel many
species to extinction.
Don't imagine tha. calamity can be h1amed on the developing
world. Its prime culprits are the tar-and-happ) TV-watchers here at
home. These comfortable few may not be having lots of babies, but
they're definitely doing lots of gobbling. Representing just onefifth of the world'c; popuhttion. developeu nations ne\ertheless
account for more than 85 percent of total consumption. They're
responsible for 65 percent of greenhouse-gas emissions - while
the poorest 20 percent put nut just 2 percent of the total. The des
titute rnnny thus subsidize thl! gluttonous few - while the planet
suffers.
Tltis i' certainly l:ause for hand-wringing. but VVirth is more
intere~ted in \\'<1rld-~avmg. "We know ''hat we have to do.'· he
says, "and in most ca ...cs we knO\\ hO\\ to do it." Some of Lhe
"how'' imoh e.-. nudging the world 8\\ ay from fossil fuels- a 'cnture from '"hich the treaty- hirk.ing United States has been shamefully ab<;ent. Some of it invohes mgcnuity and resow-ce-sa\ ing
technology.
But the rest of the entCJTln e invoh e ;imp1e human decency. If
we really \\ant to .t\e the world. Wirth obsen'e'. all we have to do
is share. With smnll plushe of cash, the \\ orld' \\ ealth) can help
the United Nauons do its mo t amportant Y..ork: assuring that all
children go to school. thlll all women hnve access to family-planning service,, that nil families have a livelihood. It may eem
strange. but u's true: lnvc tmg tn human happiness ~~ the surest
way to control populuuon, protect the environment - and buy a
bcuer future for the planet.
What choice do we h<l\ c bur to huy. and what better time for the
purcha~c'! As Wirth insists. the time has plainly come: ''The profound and ilnportaut lesson lhat we must rake from the hortific acts
of Sept. I J ."he says, "is that the future of America and all nation),
wiJl be cut from the ~amc cloth. No nation can wall itself off from
the rest of the world. Global issues arc not 'over there' and 'later.·
They arc 'here' and they are 'no\\.'"

1'llo~e. rough!) t.ned, are the conntcting arguments \\e face in de'CJding
\\ har to t.lo to meet the threat of terrorism at home. So far, we ecm to be edging toward sacrificing ci\ il righ1s in
order to defend them. We've rounded up
thousand of Amb11 anJ Arab-Americans
for que~Lioning. holding hundreds of
them for Wt~ek~ without either chargtng
them or allowing them bml and we have
proposed deuling with suspected terrorist!> in military tnbunals rather than
criminal courts.
Some of that rnay be necessary. How
much is ne<.'c~~ity and how much is by~·
tena, howcvet, i' prohfcmattc. As Henry
Wallace. our vice prc~idcnt during
World War Il. once aid, "War jo; the
great k1llerof libemhsm." That's the
historical read.
Dunng the Civil War, Abraham
Lincoln vinunlly su~pendcd the
Con,tilution. doing ll\\3)' \\ith such
bcc.k freedom ns the right of habeas
corpu~the right of lhe accused to be
confronted b) the bod) of evidence
ngainsL him so that he could defend
himself. He also .;hut down Northern
nc\\spapcrs deemed sympathetic with
the Southcm cause.
World War I gave II'- the infamou"
"Palmer raids," in whtcb many pacifists
aml felt wingcrs were arrested and
jailed under the Espionage and Sedition
Acts.
And then there was World Wur II,
when we simply l'Ollectc.>d all the
Japanese and Japunesc-Americans we
could tind, made tht:m ell their proper·
l) ('~hich tn some ca'es wa~ considerable) at ghcaway pnees and put them
in bleak concentrnlion camp:. for the
durntion of the .... ar.
None of those actions, hi torians
ha\e ~ince noted, "ere cructalto the
winning of their respective "a"": orne
were not even useful. But they shared
one attribute. They were popular.
As is. I suspect, what we are about
to do now. People are frightened and
very angry and they want to lash out
against the enemy. Our criminal courts
are generally viewed as hamstrung by
technicalities that all too often allow the
guilty to go free. Terrorists deserve
stronger medicine. we are being told.
That's dangerous thinking. Civil
rights, once surrendered. art' difltcult to
recover. And the} are indivi...ible. You
can't JUSt surrender the civil rights of
Arabs and expect to kt:ep } our own.
Especially problematic b the use of
military tribunals in de:iling "ith
alleged terrorists. The argument that the
accused will be gening m1litary tnal
with the same levels of !>afeguards 1hat
our servicemen and women get is utrerly false. These tribunals could very wl!ll
be secret tnals \\ith lax rules of C\'1·
dence in which the coun could choo~e
the attorney" for both side:. In addition.
conviction would require only a twothirds majority.
At the very least, we should run this
proposal by Congress l:leforc implc
menting it. Congress isn't good for
much, but it is diverse and its instmct
for compromise will often knock lile
edges off a bad idea.
This idea has some edges that badly
need knocking off.

FRANKFORT - "Happ)
Holidays!" These are !he word~
we often hear this time of year.
However, grief, loneliness, and

result m feelings of unhappin~s insteau of joy Unrealistic
~xpectauons of a picture perfect.
Norman

Christmas; over commercialization; aud the added pressures
of shopping, gift giving and
cooking may further accent
these f~:eliogs.
Although many people experience feelings of depression
and i.'lnxiety during the holiday
sear.on, these feelings may be
even more pre\nlcm this year
due lO the recent events like the
Sept. II rerrorist bombin~.
anthrax scares. 1he war in
Afghnni:.tan, und the recession.
'"It i nonnaJ to e.xpenencc
feehng:. of anx1cty tn reaction
to a stressful event such a.~ the

may be further compounded by
th(' recent national tragedie<:,"

lf you t.hink that you are
~xperiencing the holiday blues
or want to try to avoid them this
year, here are some tips to help
you cope.
•
Keep
expectations
manageable b)' setting rea.Hstic
goals; pace yourself and organize your rime. Make a list of
things you need to do. The toke
a look at your list and see which
lhings must be done. Is there
anything you can pur aside for a
while or let go of completely"
Can someone else do or help
you do lhings on the list?
•
Realize that the holiday season does not automatically banir.h reasons for feeling
sad or lonely. Allow yourself
room for lhese feelings and then
decide what you can do to move
beyond them. For example.
sometimes getting out of the
house is helpful. Also, every
now and then turn off the releviston and radio for a while and
listen to a favorite compact
disc. read or spend time on a
favorite hobby

Life is full of changes.

"USERRA JS intended to mini·
mize the disadvantages for
individuals wbo need to be
absent from their civilian
employment for the purpose of
fulfilling lheir military obligation." said Rick Netherton,
dir('ctor
of
Kentucky's
Veterans' Employment and
Training Service (VETS). U.S.

VETS program is assisted by
Department for Employment
Services staff.
Approximately

"l don't think we're going to
have the volume of people
called up as we did in Dese11
Storm but employers need to
prepat·c themselves because we
don't know how much notice

lle has seen a surge in the
numb~r of phone calls about
USER.RA. "We were getting a
couple of caJls a week. before
September II and then suddenly the phone is ringing off the
hook. But we like that becau.-e
we wam co provide people \.\ ilh
the infonnation beforehand so
there is not ::t formnl ca~e later."
Netherton said most of lhe
phone calls for information he
has receiH!d since September
II involved que:.tions concern·
ing whether or not people who
volunteer are covered under the
federal law. Volunteers are

While employers have a

of two Dh·tston I member Institutions as
part of the
A~soc1atJOn's

second cycle of
The certification process
"hich involves a self-stud,
process led b) a scho<ll's chier

A de.signat1on of Cl!rtilicd
means that an instillltion operates il.'i athletics program in sub·
stantial conlormity with operating principles adopted by the
Division 1 membership.
The second round of athletics
cenificution is being completed
on a 10-ycar cycle ratllcr than
the five-year cycle utiliz.ed during the initial certification
proce~s. All 321 nctive Division
I members paniCJpate in the certification proce.ss.
The cenification program'
purpose is to ensure tntegnty in
the institution's athletics operations and to assist :uhletics
depanments m 1mprovsng their
year to respond in writing to
the issues before a final certification decision is rendered. Au
institution's failure to sat1sfac·
torily respond to the commlllr.!e
can negathcly impact its ecru
fication status.
The cl'nifi~ttion pmee's is
separate from the l'\CAA's
enforcement program, which
in\C,tigates allegation that
member institutions have '10
Jated 1-:CAA rules. A d"ci,JOII

put the ball in the hands of their
leading scorer Slay, who would
penetrate and find Latece
Williams alone under the basket
to give MU a 65-63 lead with 29
seconds left.
Radford would get one more
shot to tie the game however
Raymond Arringcon's luy-up
would rim out and be gobbled
up by J R. VanHoose. He would
be fouled sending VanHoo"e to
the line in whrch he would connect on one-of-two free throws
allowing Arnngton to al!empt a
desperation three-pointer wrth
three seconds left that would
fall shon.
VanHoose lead all scorers

SHALLOW HAL
Directors Peter and Bohhy Farrelly arc
well-Known for Lhc1r gm:>s·out. over-the-top
humor. But even when they're making fun
of the downlroddcn or mallormed, the
Farrcllys have always approached their subjects with a little heart.
ln their Jatest film. ''Shallow Hal," they
show just how much heart they have. and
will probably throw man) fans lor a loop. I
mean. who would'w lhnughl th..: Farrdlys
would ever try to make a real romantic
comedy'!
Jack Black (of the tilm "High Fiddlly"
and the HBO comedy "Tcna~i,lus 0") pia) ..
Hal Larsen. a single guy totally clueless to
rne fact that he's constantly purr.uing
women who are waaa) out of h1s league.
He's a moped srud stuck in a Harle) W~lrld.
Hal goes for the II s because when he
was just a little kid, his fCither, on his
deathbed, told him to always go for the hot
babes. So. Hal naturally grows up to be
someone who only judges women by thctr
looks.
One day, Hal gets stock in an elevator
with moLivauonal speaker Tony Rol'!bin~.
who hypnolize~ Hal :m be can only sec the
inner beauty of women.
Hal then meets Rosemary 1Ciwyncth
Paltrow). a woman o huge she h11s her own
wcnther system. ller driver's license photo

makes Jiminy Glick look like Brad Pin.
Yes, Rosemary is a Big Gi:rl.
Hal, of course. doesn't see Rosemruy's
outer heft. be se~ the lithe, sy lpblike form
of Gwyneth Palttow. Hal'.!> buddy, Mauneio
(Jason Alexander). however, can -see "the
rhino'' and wonders v.hat the heck's wrong
With Hal.
Gwyneth PaJuow plays Ro~emary WJth
ju ... t enough moxie and self-e~teem to make
u~ sec why Hal would C\cntuaJly fall for
her - regardless of looks. The fat-c<;utt
makeup is terrific.
Jack Black's pcrfonnance ts eqoally topnotch. Although he's been relegated to
mostly character roles. this film shov. s that
he has the c;alent and screen prt:l>Coce to
carry a starring role.
''Shallow Hal" isn't as funny as some of
the Farrelly's other lilms like ''Kingpin'· or
"There's Something About Mary." But. it''
